Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

By mid-February, before the 82nd Oscar nominee luncheon, the North American box office of "Wolf of Wall Street" was still growing slowly, reaching more than $235.6 million. Although far behind the radical "Avatar", this can be said to be a big hit for a film with a production cost of only $80 million.

Subsequently, the Oscar nominee lunch was held at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Unlike previous years, Murphy did not let the busy Bill Roses do it, but appeared in the banquet hall of the nominee lunch.

As Robert Downey Jr., Jonah Hill and others were still doing publicity around the world, Murphy, on behalf of the entire "Wolf of Wall Street" crew, walked into the No. 1 banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel alone.

"Please go here, Director Stanton."

A waiter led Murphy to the table in front of the banquet hall. Murphy took a look before going over. The people sitting there were basically characters from Hollywood top buildings, such as Jon Landau, Walt Disney animation director John Lasseter, and Hollywood's top superstar...Leonardo DiCaprio!

There was a time when Murphy and Leonardo DiCaprio were very close to each other because of Robert Downey Jr., but now...

Murphy shook his head gently. Leonardo DiCaprio was not only a movie star, but also a very successful businessman. When certain interests were placed in front of him, the fragile friendship between the two collapsed.

Of course, he also knew very well that this was the norm in Hollywood or any business circle. Everyone he could not meet would become a close friend like James Franko, Robert Downey Jr., Seth Logan and Jonah Hill.

"Hi, Jon."

When he walked to the banquet table, Murphy first greeted the big fat producer from Twentieth Century Fox. Jon Landau saw that the person coming was Murphy, so he quickly stood up and hugged him, "Wow, Murphy! I'm so happy to see you."

Then, Murphy shook hands with John Lasseter under the introduction of Jon Landau. Both sides had never met before, but they had been famous for each other for a long time.

Especially Murphy, who has a good impression of Pixar Studio's non-child animation and was also a great love for her. She specially talked to John Lasseter, the core character of Pixar's Five Tiger Generals.

From John Lasseter's mouth, Murphy also learned that he came for "Flying Houses". It is said that this classic Pixar Studios work is likely to become the first animated feature film nominated for the Best Picture of the Oscar!

If the nomination is really received, it will undoubtedly be a huge honor for Pixar Studios. On the one hand, it is the best compliment for their persistence in creating, and on the other hand, it is also the effect of expanding the list of Oscars' best movie nominations.

Starting from the 82nd Academy Awards, the list of nominations for the best film of the Academy Awards is no longer limited to five, but can have up to nine! In other words, if there were many excellent films produced that year, the judges might fill the nomination list of nine. If there were not enough excellent films, the number of films will be selected, but not less than five.

This can be said to be the biggest reform made by the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences in recent years for Oscars, which can allow some excellent commercial films such as science fiction and cartoons to be on the nomination list and act as a runner.

Therefore, before, both Bill Rossis and Robert Downey Jr., they all believed that the difficulty of "Wolf of Wall Street" was far less than the nomination for the best director with Murphy or only five places.

Seeing Murphy chatting and laughing with John Lasseter, Leonardo DiCaprio was a little uncomfortable, but he was also an old man in this circle. He didn't do anything, just sat here safely.

He could see that Murphy's attitude towards him had changed dramatically compared to before. If it were before, the first person he would greet after he came here would have been himself.

Leonardo DiCaprio understood why, but he had no guilt and had released his kindness through his agent. Whether the other party accepted it or not was not something he could control.

Having said that, when we got along with each other, with Murphy Stanton's utilitarian personality, we might not have done much better than ourselves.

"Hello, Leo."

When he was in a daze, Leonardo DiCaprio heard the familiar greeting sound, shook his head quickly, came back to his senses, looked at Murphy who was already sitting next to him, and pulled out a formulaic smile, "Hello, Murphy."

After saying this, he stopped talking.

Murphy nodded to Leonardo DiCaprio and said nothing.

The two of them do not know the truth, but they also know a lot, and there is no need to pretend to be enthusiastic.

Murphy knew very well why Jordan Belfort wanted to take back the adaptation rights of "Wolf of Wall Street" and who was surrounded by people.

Similarly, Leonardo DiCaprio also knew that the distance between Murphy and the good man was as far as the entire Pacific Ocean. No one knew whether there was a shadow of Murphy behind him when he encountered the obstacles he encountered this time in the Olympics.

Murphy looked at Leonardo DiCaprio for the last time, withdrew his gaze, and talked to Jon Landau about some things about "Avatar". The global box office of this film has reached nearly $2 billion. Everyone can see that as long as there are no major accidents like the outbreak of World War III or the invasion of aliens, James Cameron will definitely be able to surpass himself, and the truck driver will completely become a movie myth.

It’s not that he has never had the idea of ​​directing this video, but he just chose to give up after thinking about it because it has almost no operability.

Let’s not talk about whether "Avatar" was a problem that James Cameron had had an idea since more than ten or twenty years ago. Technology alone is a problem that Murphy could not solve.

As long as people with normal minds have a little understanding, they know that this film is typical, not a type that a director can solve. Even if they write a script, it is not very useful.

Since the beginning of this century, James Cameron has collaborated with Sony Electronics to start research on the latest 3D photography and action imaging. Not only did he do a lot of research experiments, but he also specially shot several documentaries to explore the feasibility of technology. Moreover, the patent rights of the latest 3D photography, such as the shooting and production of "Avatar", have always been firmly held in the hands of James Cameron. Without the authorization of the truck driver, shooting is nothing.

Of course, it is not impossible to use other technologies to shoot. Perhaps the final filming effect of "Avatar" can be achieved. The question is that James Cameron, as a technical maniac, has invested nearly ten years in order to make those new technologies. If it were other directors, how many years would it take to advance other technologies to the point where they can shoot and produce "Avatar"?

How many directors can be willing to put in so much time and energy like James Cameron?

As for the kind of way to write a script that can produce "Avatar", the effect after the filming is not bad at all...

Murphy shook his head, fortunately he was not that mentally retarded. To be precise, this kind of thought was praised as mentally retarded.

If you give something, there may not be any reward, but if you don’t give something, there will definitely be no reward. Just like Murphy has been complaining about the male lead in his heart, "Avatar" has also been criticized a lot, but no matter how much criticism is, the box office results that are now booming is the best reward for James Cameron's crazy exploration of new technologies.

If Murphy was asked to evaluate, he would say, "The movie is divided into before the audio movie and after the audio movie, before the color movie and after the color movie, before the Avatar and after the Avatar!"

Suddenly, Murphy felt someone staring at him and didn't have to look at him. He also knew that it must be Leonardo DiCaprio.

With Leonardo DiCaprio's relationship network, it is not difficult to know that a considerable number of Oscar judges are very dissatisfied with his actions to rush to the Olympics, and they will make choices that are unfavorable to him when voting.

Although he lost "Wolf of Wall Street", Leonardo DiCaprio's plan to fight for the Olympics has not been affected much. According to news from Murphy, Leonardo DiCaprio is reluctant to discuss and will work with Martin Scorsese in a new film, "Shut Island", which was originally scheduled to be released in February this year, was pre-shot in Los Angeles at the end of December last year, in order to win the chance to compete for the best actor of this year's Oscar.

To be honest, acting is a very subjective thing, and everyone's judgment criteria are different. However, Leonardo DiCaprio's acting skills have always been criticized, especially the exaggerated facial expressions and extremely prone to excessive force, which are things that Oscar judges don't like.

But Leonardo DiCaprio is famous, has funds, has the ability, and has a broad network of relationships. Many times, as long as he chooses movies and roles for the Oscars, he will basically appear on the Oscars' list of best actors.

The nominee lunch started soon, including Murphy, and had no interest in the meals provided by the luncheon. He just listened to the college's rotating chairman Sid Ganess and Anne Hathaway, who served as guest, announced the nomination list one by one.

The nomination list was announced very quickly. Listening to the name Anne Hathaway said, Leonardo DiCaprio's face began to look a little ugly, because his huge investment in "Shutland Island" actually won nothing in the announced technical awards, and "Wolf of Wall Street" directed by Murphy won a series of nominations such as Best Editing, Best Photography, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction and Best Adapted Screenplay.
