Los Angeles is shrouded in night and is still noisy and hustle and bustle, but some high-end communities are quiet enough. Gal Gadot, who is tall and long-legged, walked out of the courtyard by a ** villa in Beverly Hills, and behind her, the hostess with a raised belly is delivered to the door.

"Nate, it's a little cold outside." Gal Gadot turned around and looked at the hostess with a look of concern, "You go back quickly."

"It's okay..." Natalie Portman held the fence door, "I'm so glad you can come and accompany me."

Just as the two of them were talking, the lights flashed and turned off nearby one after another, capturing their figures. Gal Gadot took the initiative to block Natalie Portman. Natalie seemed to be completely unwilling to care, "It will be exposed sooner or later, let them go."

"Yeah." Gal Gadot nodded, and the mockery in his eyes flashed, "You go back, I'm leaving."

She waved to Natalie Portman, left the gate, walked to her car, opened the door and sat in, started the car and drove away quickly, but after turning two turns, she gradually slowed down. Thinking of her recent relationship with Natalie Portman, she could only sigh in her secretly that this woman's methods were really clever.

How smart is a woman who can even use unborn children? How deep is her mind?

It is obvious that Natalie Portman really fought for the Oscar heroine next year, but in this way, he could win the actress Little Golden Man?

A few mockery flashed in his heart. Gal Gadot entered Rodeo Avenue, stopped in front of a cafe, looked at his watch, sat in the car for a while, and waited for a familiar figure to enter the cafe, and then got off the car slowly and entered the cafe.

The bright eyes quickly captured the figure of the agent, Gal Gadot accelerated his pace slightly, walked over and sat opposite him.

"How is the matter going?" The agent put down the coffee cup and reminded Gal Gadot, "It's now a critical moment."

Gal Gadot opened his handbag, took out a recorder, and placed it in front of the agent. "This is the content of the past few days. There is also a private conversation between Nat and Martin Miller about Oscars that I secretly recorded."

"Well done, Gale" agent's eyebrows were almost flying into his hair, "With your intelligence, you will definitely become popular in the future."

He shrugged. Gal Gadot was about to say goodbye, and before leaving, he asked, "What about our job change?"

"Don't worry." The agent solemnly put away the recording pen. "Nancy Josephson will do everything before the Oscars begin."

Hearing this, Gal Gadot felt relieved and walked out of the cafe. She knew that her future road would be wider and wider.

She drove her car away from Beverly Hills and returned to her apartment in Burbank, but did not rest immediately. Instead, she stood on the balcony and looked into the distance. It was the direction of Warner Studios. It was not very far from the apartment. Although it was already very late, she could still see the lights there and seemed to be busy with nervousness.

This is true. Like in the past few months, Duke has been working overtime at Warner Studios to complete the finale of Gravity as soon as possible. After the film was held internally, it will be held in a small preview in North America before the New Year after Christmas to obtain the most basic qualification to participate in the Oscars, and then wait for the New Year holiday to begin. The film will be released in North America on a large scale.

In the editing room, the post-production has come to an end. After supervising the staff to add the ending, Duke said to Tinafe next to him, "Immediately, let someone hand over the finished version to Warner Bros. to suppress the DVD version as quickly as possible. Before the New Year, I want the DVD version of "Gravity" to appear on the desks of all judges."

"Well..." Tinafei greeted several security personnel who had been waiting here for a long time, took the encrypted memory sent by McDaoson, and said to Duke, "Don't worry, I'll do it myself."

Seeing Tinafe leaving, Duke breathed a sigh of relief. After spending half a year, he finally caught the last Oscar bus.

However, it is not a time to completely relax. After all, suppressing the DVD version and sending them out is not an easy task.

During the awards season every year, the films that want to compete for the Oscars will send DVD-colored versions of the film to members of various industry associations in Hollywood and members of the awards season voting members such as members of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences. If the industry association members and some media are included, the DVD-colored copies of a video may exceed 50,000 copies...

Moreover, 50,000 copies are just the most basic base, and most of the videos are mailed far more than 50,000 copies. For example, the producers who have won the Oscars’ best film nominations, will have more than 100,000 DVDs and colors sent by mail.

One thing that cannot be ignored is that the same person may get multiple DVDs of the same film because "a member of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences is likely to be a member of the British Academy of Film and Film Arts or the Producers Association. Some may bother asking more questions and guaranteeing that the film will not be sent to the same person repeatedly, but most people do not."

The important reason for this situation is related to the fact that many Oscar judges do not watch the film very much. For the movie itself, the more copies a judge receives, the greater the chance they will watch, which means that the movie is more likely to be ahead in the voting stage.

Such a large-scale mailing DVD color version will also bring corresponding problems to piracy

For films released in the spring or summer seasons in the early 2019, there is basically no need to worry too much about piracy when mailing the DVD color version, but most award-winning videos start to be released in November and December. In order to create a good reputation, they are often previewed on a very small scale, and they will only start to be displayed on a large scale after the New Year.

Such videos are most likely to be threatened by piracy.

In fact, in every year, there will be almost any leak of candidates for films of different sizes. Even if the film company takes enough preventive measures, it is difficult to eradicate.

If you want to win the award, you have to bear the corresponding risks. Mailing the DVD version is a necessary choice. It is a must-see that all the members of the School of Film Arts and Sciences respond to the call of the film crew and go to the theater to watch the films of the election. It is nothing different from a fantasy.

One-fifth of the six thousand judges could go to the theater to watch a popular Oscar movie, which is already an astronomical figure.

Therefore, mailing the DVD color version has become something that the producers and publishers of Chong'ao videos have to do.

However, the film company will also make a series of anti-pirated measures. For example, the mailed DVD color version, commonly known as the DVD version, is not clear, and it is far from being compared with the normally released video DVD. This version of the movie DVD will give uninterrupted "warning" whether it is on the outer packaging or in the main film: copying or uploading videos is a violation of US federal law.

Moreover, during the video playback process, there are related watermark codes. If there is a pirated copy on the Internet, the watermark code can be used to quickly find the source of the stream.

However, this cannot completely eliminate piracy, especially online piracy.

On Christmas Eve this year, the DVD version of "The King's Speech" used by Weinstein Pictures to make the Olympics was put on the Internet. The number of downloads exceeded 800,000 times in just twelve hours, making the brothers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein a big furious one. After all, "The King's Speech" is still previewed in less than 200 theaters, and it is inevitable that it will be affected by piracy.

Not only Weinstein Pictures, but an organization called hivem8, which released online pirated copies, spoke out that they have other resources from Chong Ao Pictures, and will release the resources of the other forty films one after another...

Although Gravity was not among the ranks due to the tight production time, Duke also spoke out for Weinstein Pictures and other film companies.

In this regard, the interests of Hollywood film companies as well as producers and directors are consistent.

Yes, the quality of the DVD color R version can only be described as very bad, but the destructive power of its pirated version cannot be ignored.

Of course this is not a good thing. First of all, the box office of the unreleased movie will definitely be greatly impacted; furthermore, even if the movie has been released, DVD plans may be released in the future. As a result, as soon as the pirated version is released first, many movie fans have already downloaded and watched it first.

Weinstein Pictures has called the police, and the watermark code on the online pirated version of "The King's Speech" cannot be easily eliminated. The watermark printed on the pirated picture confirms that its copy is the one given to the joint eO Andrew Kosovo by the film company Weinstein Company to Aiken Entertainment.

The slaughtered Andrew Kosovo. Regarding the allegation, Kosovo firmly stated that he had never seen the DVD and had never touched it. He also showed to the media that he would cooperate with the slaughter and investigate it on his own.

The investigation is temporarily in a stalemate and is currently forcing Aiken Entertainment to investigate the California headquarters.

But people like Duke are actually very clear that Aiken Entertainment, controlled by Andrew Kosovo, does not have much competition with Weinstein Pictures, and it is impossible to do such a thing that is excluded by the entire Hollywood.

Andrew Kosovo is a joint eO of Aiken Entertainment, which has been involved in the production of films such as "Summer of Jeans", "Brave the 16th Block" and "Weakness". He himself is a well-known producer and should be the victim of the matter, not the culprit.

In a region like North America with a relatively complete copyright system, it seems incredible that such things happen, but in Duke's opinion, this is not surprising at all. To be continued.
