Hollywood Road

Most of the behind-the-scenes staff of this new crew have participated in the previous shooting of "Dark City" and are very concerned about whether the film can be nominated for an Oscar.

Then Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie and others who came out of the dressing room also walked to the vicinity of Gal Gadot and Emma Watson who followed her to visit the class.

Murphy also walked over and cast a caring look.

"Guess..." Emma Watson deliberately sold off, "How many Oscar nominations did "Dark City" get?"

James Franco is very familiar with her and said directly, "Hurry up, don't be long-winded."

Emma Watson glanced at Gal Gadot beside her, and then said, "Best makeup, best photography, best editing, best soundtrack, best art direction, best visual effects, best Sound editing, best original screenplay, best sound, best actor, best actress, best director and best film!"

After speaking, she asked Gal Gadot, "Is that right?"

Gal Gadot nodded slightly.

"One, two, three..."

Jonah Hill, who is following James Franco, is counting the number of nominations with his fingers, "A total of thirteen Oscar nominations."

"Thirteen." Robert Downey Jr. repeated the number again, with a somewhat regretful tone, "Not the most in history."

Murphy laughed, "Thirteen Oscar nominations are already a lot."

The important thing is that "Dark City" received the four most important nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture!

"Yes!" Seth Logan echoed, "Thirteen can be said to be quite a lot!"

Everyone around laughed. Isn't the thirteen Oscar nominations counted?

Judging from the Oscar nomination, the previous "Dark City" was defeated at the Golden Globes, and it did not have too many negative effects.

The weather vane awards that can really influence the Oscars are, after all, the major trade union awards within the industry.

After getting the Oscar nomination, I will naturally prepare for the final awards ceremony later. How many people participating in the Oscar competition do not want to win the gold medal?

Emma Watson looked at the lively discussion around her, her eyes were a little envious. If she could be nominated for an Oscar for performance award, how could it be as troublesome as today, and she could not get rid of Hermione Granger's delay. influences.

Thinking of the recent attacks on him by the media and some people, Emma Watson is also somewhat helpless.

"Okay, time is almost up." Murphy raised his voice slightly and reminded everyone around him, "Get ready for the next work."

The people nearby gradually dispersed and returned to their posts to prepare for the next filming.

Emma Watson followed Gal Gadot and accompanied Murphy back to the director's monitor. Seeing Murphy would be fine, she came over and said grinning, "Congratulations, Murphy."

"Thank you." Murphy turned his head and glanced at her. They are also familiar people, and said casually, "You have a lot of trouble recently."

"Yes." Emma Watson shrugged. "Some people always like to stand on the moral high ground and attack others."

Murphy casually relieved, "It will be fine after a while, but the criticism will not last long."

A few days ago, after the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" was published, Emma Watson, as the cover character, took some relatively large-scale photos for "Vanity Fair", which attracted a lot of criticism, and some people directly Smashed the attack on her head.

In particular, some feminists criticized Emma Watson for hypocrisy, saying that she regarded herself as a feminist, but still took the kind of **** photos that "to please men".

There is nothing to say about this kind of thing, just like the Catholics attacked Murphy. No matter what they say or do, they always have excuses and reasons to attack.

After chatting with Emma Watson, Murphy returned to the shooting.

Since this shooting used an old-fashioned 35mm camera and film, the photography aspect was also back to basics. Murphy rarely interfered with the photography team, and the photography aspect was basically handed over to Philip Raschel.

Although shooting does not require too many skills, it is also very sophisticated in basic skills, but Philip Raschel is not difficult to deal with.

The filming continued until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, and Murphy announced that today's work is over.

"I just read the script."

As they walked towards the door of the studio together, Emma Watson said to Murphy as he walked, "The content is amazing! The reporters back then were also very courageous!"

"For American society, bishops sexually assaulting children is a phenomenon that some people know, but many people don’t. The reporters stand on the opposite side of a huge power organization and accuse them not of one, two, or more than seventy bishops, but of straightforwardness. Refers to the institutional cover and corruption of the Holy See."

What Murphy said are some objective facts, "This is a story that has not been taken squarely, not taken seriously, but has to be told. It is different from revealing the Watergate Incident or the tobacco group's nicotine infringement. The most difficult thing for them is not to get in. To confirm the truth and repeated legal procedures, but to convince one's own heart."

Then they walked out of the door of the studio and were immediately surrounded by reporters. The bodyguards quickly blocked Murphy in the middle.

The list of Oscar nominations has just been announced, and Emma Watson, who has recently been in a vortex of public opinion, is here again. The enthusiasm of the reporters can be imagined.

For the promotion and marketing of the film, Murphy is also ready to accept an interview.

With a loud reminder from a bodyguard, the order of the scene gradually improved, but the bodyguards still surrounded Murphy firmly, for fear of reporters rushing in front of Murphy.

The reporter and the paparazzi quickly reached a tacit understanding and asked a few representatives to ask questions.

In fact, these people are not stupid. If the scene has been messy, Murphy will only turn around and walk away, and now he can get some news.

After Murphy answered a few low-level questions about whether he was happy to receive thirteen Oscar nominations, a reporter asked about the current film.

"Director Stanton, why did you choose such a theme for your new film?"

"I think I have an obligation to let more people know about these things and these people, and know what efforts the reporters made for justice and the truth!"

The real reason, of course, is not Murphy. What is being said now is some awe-inspiring words, "How many people know about the situation reported by the "Focus" column at the time, but they will not talk about it, because after weighing the social pressure and this tall institution The actual benefits brought by it are far greater than the meaning of being honest with oneself by telling the truth, and sometimes it even produces,'If I say whether I have betrayed God and faith','My sacrifice is not to make myself Dedicated to a greater meaning' mentality, so we want to commend the "Focus" group for their courage, even though they only did their part.

He paused for a while, and then said, "These are the stories that have not been taken squarely, but have not been taken seriously, but have to be told, everywhere; the courage to stand opposite the authority is a requirement for those trapped in it. Too many people who are working in the media should be their own jobs. Sometimes, if you want to make the truth clearer, the power you want to tame is weaker, and the power to spur is heavier."

A reporter suddenly turned his attention to Emma Watson and asked, "What do you think of Miss Watson's recent criticism?"

Of course Murphy knew what they were asking, looked at Emma Watson, and said, “Feminism is to give women the right to choose. Feminism is not used to attack other women. It is about freedom, about liberation and The basic principle of equality. I really don’t understand what the **** have to do with this? It’s very confusing."

Later, the reporter turned the question to Emma Watson. Emma Watson did not evade, and directly replied, "This incident made me realize that people still have many misunderstandings and wrong ideas about feminism. . I am confused, most people are also confused, but I am really silently stunned."

At this time, the bodyguards saw Murphy's hint, separated the reporter's circle, let Murphy and the three get in the car together.

"Thank you, Murphy." Emma Watson said sincerely, "Thank you for supporting me."

Murphy smiled, "It should be."

It's just saying something in favor of Emma Watson, it's not doing a great thing.

Emma Watson also followed Murphy to Wave Manor, and other members of the Stanton party also drove here to attend Murphy's dinner together.

This can be regarded as a small celebration for the thirteen Oscar nominations of "Dark City".

Since the 86th Academy Awards ceremony will not be held until the beginning of March, although Murphy will be busy shooting "Focus" in the following time, the Oscars did not relax at all.

After the nomination list was announced, the situation suddenly became clear. Murphy can easily determine the biggest opponent, such as the four most important awards. The best director faces the competition of Alfonso-Curon. "Twelve Years" is quite strong because of the special subject matter, James Franco and Leonardo DiCaprio are among the best actor in the best actor, it is unknown who won, Margot Robbie is nominated for best actress. It was Cate Blanchett...

It is no exaggeration to say that every opponent is strong, and there is no guarantee of victory at all.

However, one thing still shows the internal perception of the "Dark City" within the academy. The Directors Guild Award and Producer League Awards have been announced successively. "Dark City" has all won the best actor and best actress. The ten awards for best director and best film, no matter how you look at them, are the biggest hits of this year’s Oscars!

In mid-February, Murphy finished shooting in the studio and led the crew to Boston to start shooting the remaining location scenes.
