On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish you all the New Year’s greetings! Happy Year of the Rooster!

"The 84th Academy Awards Ceremony will begin soon, and anyone with discerning eyes should be clear: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and other group of Hollywood's handsome backbone stars are actually veritable secondary players. The *oss who really dominates the whole situation is the fat man Harvey Weinstein who is hidden behind the crowd!"

"Because, a very serious fact is: from last year's "The King's Speech" and winning three awards of Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture, to this year's "Artist" almost completely replicating the glorious path of "King" to the Olympics, it will surely win a lot of prizes invincible!"

"The Oscars are dominated by the invisible hands of Harvey Weinstein. It has become a clear rule that can be written into publications. From today on, every Hollywood actor should probably regard 'follow Harvey Weinstein' as his life creed!"

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Howard Rodman shook his head and said to his old friend next to him, "Oscar is about to change his surname to Weinstein."

"Is it so exaggerated?" The old friend disagreed.

"Didn't?" Howard Rodman reminded, "Recalling how much controversy Harvey Weinstein has created for Oscars since "The Patient in the UK"?"

The man sat there and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "There were times when Oscars turned into jokes."

Howard Rodman put the newspaper on the table, "Oscar has no surname Weinstein, nor has he ever been surnamed anyone!"

After thinking for a while, Howard Rodman said to his friend, "The Oscar can't go on like this. If you go on like this, the Weinstein brothers will become the spokesperson for the Oscar. I will mobilize people on my side to avoid votes for Weinstein Pictures as much as possible."

The old friend took the newspaper and looked at it, saying, "What is said above makes sense. Many actors have no limit on flattering the Weinstein brothers in order to win the Oscars. However, the authority of the academy has never been taken seriously by them. Could it be that the Oscars are not from the academy, but they really have become the Weinstein brothers?"

He snorted coldly and said, "I'll say goodbye first, I'm going back to communicate with people."

"Okay." Howard Rodman nodded, "I won't send you there, I'm going to make a few calls."

Since 1989, he has become a member of the School of Film Arts and Sciences and has the right to vote. As the vice president of the American Writers Association, he is a representative figure of the screenwriter's rights organization in the academy. He can be said to be one of the very influential core figures within the academy.

In addition to private activities, Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox jointly instigated the media coverage trend, but unlike Harvey Weinstein slandering him and "Diego Ross", the media reported praises the Weinstein brothers and also listed his great achievements in past Oscars, reminding many members of the academy, especially those old men who cherish their feathers as they grow older, that the Oscar is no longer their Oscar, but has changed his surname to Weinstein.

Instigated by Murphy and Twentieth Century Fox, some media have reached a considerable level of praise for Harvey Weinstein.

"Harvey Weinstein, the person who can really decide the Oscars belong!"

"What factors can make a film a big winner in the Oscars? It is not difficult to find out in the past twenty years that you can win the Oscar by following Harvey Weinstein!"

"Oscar changed his surname to Weinstein, who can't explain the secret that cannot be told?"

These remarks in traditional media can somewhat affect Oscar judges, especially those conservative schools who cherish Oscar's feathers.

In addition to paper media, as the live broadcaster of this year's Oscar Awards Ceremony, AB TV, affiliated to Walt Disney, also broadcasts Oscar preview programs for two consecutive nights in the prime time of the most rated channel in the United States, focusing on analyzing the brilliant achievements of the Weinstein brothers in previous Oscars, proving that Oscar is really about to change his surname to Weinstein.

"Harvey Weinstein's repeated trials on Oscar PR have led to the global movie fans who are increasingly aware of Oscars to create the terrible misunderstanding that "Oscar judges are all idiots": from the earliest "British Patient" swept the Oscars, to the end of the century "Shape's Love History" defeating "Saving Private Ryan", and then to the amazing crowds of "Chicago", Harvey Weinstein has always been fiddling with PR tricks!"

"Of course, you have to admit that the way Harvey Weinstein manipulates the Oscars is also keeping pace with the times: When "The Patient in the UK", he likes to claim that his films are 'the greatest moving work in many years', but when he runs "The King's Speech", he publicly expresses his disgust for such label-style publicity, which alludes to the self-promotion of "Social Networks"; when "Chicago", he is keen to attack competitors indirectly, and the food for gifts when canvassing is relatively ugly. But later, after seeing "Bomb Disposal Force" encountering the producer's email canvassing, he immediately narrows his ambition to win the prize, and just keep a close eye on the best supporting actor."

"When he was last year's "The King's Speech", he knew that film critics were a group of quite annoying guys, so he publicly stated that 'The Oscar judges have their own aesthetic judgments, and of course they will not be influenced by the tastes of film critics.' This not only boasted the people of the Film Academy, but also spared the energy to get the three union awards, achieving the final comeback of the film."

"Aside from the appearance of "Artist" this year, you can almost see a strategic plan that is more perfect than ever: never boasting about this film as a tribute work; claiming that it never attacks opponents and raises itself, but when the union award is awarded, people completely forget the "Diego Ross" and "Tree of Life" that film critics praise, and pass again and again, and the media said that they are a 'respecting film art.'"

Just like the media said that Murphy has a connection with a drug cartel, this is indeed the truth. Murphy cannot defend himself. Even if he has no economic exchanges with Ross, and no exchange of interests, he cannot explain clearly. He put everything Harvey Weinstein did in the past, and the other party cannot explain it. The more Harvey Weinstein stands up and explains, the more he will let the academy members see his unreasonable influence at the Oscars.

There is no problem with this influence in the dark, but on the surface, those conservative and highly self-esteem old men must be unhappy.

Among the several old judges Murphy came into contact with, some even had this idea. Are we all a group of old confused people who were merciless at the mercy of the Weinstein brothers?

Although the effect was vaguely seen, Murphy did not stop, and the voice of Harvey Weinstein in the media spread throughout the voting period.

Especially in the Hollywood Reporter, which has a huge influence in the circle, after the voting time entered the middle, Murphy spent a lot of money to buy important pages one after another, and continued to report on Harvey Weinstein's Oscar career.

"Artist, Harvey Weinstein's gift tailored for the Oscars!"

What the core members of the academy hate the most is that everyone may be different and have no way to guess, but there is one thing that has something in common. They have always disliked the unusually obvious behavior of attacking the Oscars in order to attack the Oscars.

"As early as last May, Harvey Weinstein discovered that this film was a tailor-made gift for voters from the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, who are as old as 56 years old: black and white, silent, simulates the every move of Hollywood stars, and the simple and just right 100-minute film length is very suitable for him to operate the Oscars."

"More importantly, the time difference between the preview date and the release date is also set exactly the same as "The King's Speech": The praise of "The King's Speech" was released at the Toronto Film Festival in September of the previous year, but the large-scale release was scheduled before the Oscars, and its competitor "Social Network" had been dry; "Artist" also made a long preheating of public opinion before gradually expanding the release scale before the awards. Although some viewers rushed into the theater and found that this was a silent film and was fooled and asked to refund the ticket, this news itself is a selling point, which further made voters feel that Oscars should still focus on the quality level, and ordinary audiences have no culture..."

"Harvey Weinstein has become the operator behind the Oscars. If you want to know in advance that the Oscars are popular? It's very simple. Just look at the Weinstein Pictures project schedule and you'll know."

Meanwhile, Murphy did not ignore the critics' influence on the Oscars.

The famous critic Stephen Colbert publicly roared in the "Bert Time" program hosted by him, accusing "Artist" of being a "disgusting" flattery. In order to show kindness to the academy, the film changed its original intention of shooting and "despicable" edited the film into a black and white silent film!

Subsequently, professional film critics in Los Angeles led by Todd McCarthy and Kenneth Tulane also criticized the film "Artist" in their columns.

"The Artist was full of a tendency to show goodwill to Hollywood Academy throughout the election process, and its works themselves do not meet the Oscars' consistent selection criteria!"

"If I were asked to pay for black and white literary works, I would rather read The New York Times. If the Oscars gave the award to The Artist, it would be better to give it to Transformers, at least it would be more satisfying."
