Chapter 179
Whether or not Jed is officially boycotting the Oscars for the first time, the annual Oscars celebration will still go ahead as scheduled.While producer-director Jade excused his work to skip the Oscars, the rest of the cast of The Patriot and Chocolate walked the red carpet that night.
Although Jed hated that the Oscar judges deliberately put him together this year, he was not so strong that he would let others have nothing to eat.For other members of the crew, the Oscar red carpet is a good place to earn popularity, so after Jed declined the invitation on the pretext of work, he did not force other members of the crew not to attend.However, sharp-eyed reporters still found something amiss. For example, although all the crew members of Galaxy Films were present, none of the top executives of Galaxy Films was present.Not to mention Jia Fei from Galaxy Film Production Company and Mai Ruibo from Galaxy Film Distribution Company, even the CEO of Galaxy TV Company Lansing, who has never been absent but has never held a position in a film company, also excused the premiere of "Survivor" tonight, She's going to be the center supervisor on the cbs broadcast.
The reason why Lansing is so bad has made countless reporters slander in their hearts. Although "Survivor" is indeed produced by Galaxy TV Entertainment, a subsidiary of Galaxy TV, why did CBS invite you, an outsider, to supervise their broadcasting center?What's more, fools know the relationship between Galaxy Film Entertainment and Warner Dongfeng Broadcasting Company. Even if CBS and E are allies, they will not be close enough to invade the door.
Moreover, the e-TV network, which is positioned as "the most popular entertainment channel for teenagers in the United States", rarely reports on the Oscars, and only makes a small report on the entertainment news at six o'clock every day, which is not paid attention to.Everyone can see that Jed Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group is taking revenge on the Oscars.
But abc, the broadcasting organization of the Oscars, doesn't care how much eTV or Jed Sherman hates the Oscars. The more you hate the Oscars, the more attention the Oscars get and the higher the ratings.The most important thing is that the Oscar judges this time praised Steven Soderbergh, the so-called "master of film directors well-known in Europe and America". Compromise" won double Oscar nominations for best director, which is the first time in Oscar history.Moreover, "Drug Network" and "Never Compromise" were not only nominated for best picture, but also comprehensively killed Jed in the awards for which Jed's films were nominated.
"Dad, are you really determined to launch this show at the Oscars?" Even though Summer Raystone is very aggressive in the Viacom group, she can only be careful in front of her father. with.
Summer knew his father too well, although his father suffered a fire at the age of 60, not only on the verge of bankruptcy but almost died of it.But to the surprise of all relatives, his father succeeded in starting a business again when he was 60 years old.The National Entertainment Company, which was left by the ancestors, has become the sixth-ranked theater company in the United States and Canada, and in terms of coverage in second- and third-tier cities, National Entertainment Company even has more words than the top three: Royal Entertainment, AMC and Cinemark right.Then, taking advantage of Westinghouse's investment failure, Redstone acquired Western Harbor Oil.Taking advantage of the oil crisis, Redstone sold Western Harbor Oil on the one hand, and reverse-acquired Westinghouse on the other hand, and has since become an entertainment company that owns Paramount.Next, Redstone’s investment was classic. He first acquired the Blockbuster video rental chain, becoming the largest non-theatre distributor in the United States and Canada, and then joined hands with Jade and Murdoch to acquire the Guidance Satellite TV Company. , In one fell swoop, it became the largest satellite phone and TV service provider in the United States.The last and most jaw-dropping thing is that within three years, Redstone has successively acquired CBS, the most experienced broadcasting company in the United States, and Dish Network, the second largest cable TV and Internet service provider in the United States.
Although later, due to internal conflicts in the company, Redstone had to split the Viacom Group, which he was proud of, into Viacom and CBS Group.However, Lei Shidong still has the right to speak in these two companies.Although Summer represented Redstone as the president of Viacom Group, she knew that she couldn't hold down the old people below.Not to mention that Paramount and DreamWorks do not abandon themselves at all, even bet and logo are obsequious to themselves.What Summer can really control now is nothing more than the largest children's channel in the United States - Nickelodeon Network and the most professional music television network in the United States - MTV.
Summer, who has no ambitions, has always held objections after learning that his father has once again cooperated with Jed in a comprehensive and in-depth manner.Especially after almost all of CBS's simulcast programs were provided by Galaxy TV, Summer was very angry.It's just that the ratings of the TV series produced by Summer are too low, so she can't ask her father to hire high-quality and cheap TV programs produced by Yinhe.But Summer can still pretend to be concerned about the quality of "Survivor", so that his father will seriously consider the TV works produced by Galaxy TV in the future.
Although Lei Shidong knew that Jade's request to broadcast the first episode of "Survivor" on this day was a deliberate demonstration to Oscar, but he agreed to see how bad this "Survivor" really is.Although the idea of "Survivor" belongs to Galaxy TV, the production of the entire program is jointly produced by Galaxy TV Entertainment Company and CBS TV Studio.
According to the reflections of their subordinates, they all said that this is a milestone work that created the American competitive reality show.Since Jed insisted on confronting Oscar head-on, what's wrong with just being a favor?Whether you succeed or fail, there is no harm in yourself.Besides, if he succeeds, he will completely earn the attention he brings to CBS.
Not to Jed's surprise, Oscar nominated "The Patriot" and "Chocolate" for some awards, but these awards have nothing to do with him in the end.Jed didn't care about his loss, because he already knew that "Survivor" successfully won the ratings champion in the same period, which meant that the Oscars had no ratings in the same period since the Oscars were broadcast live on TV. champion.Not only did the Oscars lose, they lost to the very person they were trying to kill.Once the reporters get the news, tomorrow's news will have something to do with the Oscars, but absolutely nothing to do with the winners.
In fact, the brand new competitive reality show "Survivor" really made American audiences full of curiosity. Unlike "Big Brother" which was filmed in a mansion, "Survivor" chose an uninhabited island in the Caribbean Sea for filming .A group of white-collar workers from the United States who claimed to be "civilized people in the civilized world" were suddenly abandoned on an uninhabited island without any food, water, or tools. They had to survive on this island for half a month.First of all, the first thing is to solve the problem of accommodation. This group of civilized people who can't even repair bicycles must mobilize and use the only supplies they have and the materials on the island to build a place where they can live.Of course, everyone is divided into teams.Obviously, Team A chose to build a semi-suspended house under the reminder of a biology teacher; while Team B had to face the infestation of various poisonous snakes all night.
When it came to the PK match between the teams on the second day, Team B, who had no energy, was naturally defeated.The victorious team was supplemented with some supplies, such as simple food and clean water, and most importantly, fire.Not only did the losing team not get any supplies, but they had to vote internally to eliminate a teammate.This reality show, which combines wild survival, outdoor game competition and human nature test, has been loved by the audience since its first episode.
As the first episode to be aired, cbs deliberately took out a two-hour time slot for broadcasting.Because the first episode not only tells about the content of the game, but also introduces the background and rules of the game and so on. The players selected by cbs and Galaxy TV are all the best or professionals in all walks of life in the United States, but these outstanding civilized people are extremely helpless when they come to the closed environment. On the contrary, some seemingly useless people just get here great performance.
The next day, The Hollywood Reporter lashed out at the Oscars with the headline "Reality Show Beats the Oscars." "Hollywood Report" believes that the reason why the Oscars did not continue to win the first place in the same period means that no one has expectations for this year's Oscars, which also shows that the Oscar judges have lost the hearts of American audiences since the nominations.Although the Hollywood judging team believed that the topic of "Chinese film star shining in the Oscars" was created, it did not attract the attention of mainstream American media.Moreover, Steven Soderbergh's topicality is too small, and the "Gladiator" directed by Ridley Scott won the Oscar for best film completely by himself.When "Saving Private Ryan" failed to be selected for the best movie, the Oscar judges interpreted that an excellent movie should not have too many fighting scenes, and the focus of the story should not be on these big scenes.But this year's "Gladiator" was praised by the Oscar judges as "the director's ability to control the big scene and the fighting scenes in the film are fascinating." Such double standards make people think that Oscar is trying to prevent some people from winning awards. And every year, some rules are deliberately made temporarily to prevent excellent films from being awarded.Finally, "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote ironically, "Actually, the Oscars are nothing more than a reality show, testing the conscience of the judges."
Although everyone knows that the position of "Hollywood Reporter" is pro-Jed Sherman, but they have to admit that this slapstick article is really right.The reason why the Oscars rejected "Saving Private Ryan" was actually the reason why "Gladiator" won the award. Does such a contradictory attitude make people think that the Oscars still have such high authority?Although there are many voices of doubt in the media, the American Academy of Motion Picture Sciences and Arts still adheres to its consistent attitude and does not respond.Regarding this, Jed also smiled when he was interviewed by TV in the UK and said: "Sorry, I have nothing to respond to."
In order to make the "Harry Potter" movie closer to the original, Jed almost recruited most of the British actors to star in the movie.Jed even asked all the actors to pronounce English with a non-Cockney accent, but they must have a correct accent.Because American English is to English what Chinese is to Mandarin.Many British people can't accept the so-called American English. Even Queen Elizabeth II once joked on her Twitter, "English has no difference between British English and American English, only the difference between right and wrong."
