Chapter 285
Chapter 285
From Hollywood, California, to the small town of Smallville, Kansas, news about Rhea Noren always travels a little faster.
This name firmly attracts the public's attention like a magnet, and naturally becomes the best topic of conversation in the topic, gaining wider discussions.
Before Rhea's voluntary renunciation of the award was released, the fact that Rhea Nolen was not included in the list of the "Peggy Carter" crew to apply for the Oscar spread like wildfire, sweeping every Hollywood agent team.
Insider revelations quickly went from grapevine to printed news.
The outside world was deeply incredulous, and the industry was even more shocked.Even the busy holiday promotions and year-end awards season didn't dampen the enthusiasm for discussion.
"is this real?"
"Is Peggy Carter crazy? Why are they giving up the least suspense award!"
"Is it true that my production has broken up with Fox Films? I heard that Fox was not very satisfied at the preview of the film. Could it be that they want to replace Rhea..."
"If it's really a conflict between the studios, it would be Rhea Nolen kicking Fox. Look at the names on the copyright sheet, who is calling the shots! Look at this crazy movie box office, It is absolutely impossible for Fox to do something stupid at this time!"
"Unless it's Rhea's decision!"
This could only be Rhea Noren's own thoughts.
But what is she thinking!
The award that everyone had almost tacitly accepted suddenly became the biggest suspense puzzle, and the answer was enough to make everyone curious, whether they were lovers or haters.
Even Frank Pearson, the new chairman of the Oscar Academy who took over this year, couldn't help calling her and asking again: "Are you really not going to participate, Rhea?"
"My assistant has repeatedly confirmed with the organizer, it is true, Frank, I have thought it through very clearly." Rhea replied.
Frank Pearson asked her the question everyone wanted to ask: "But why?"
"I thought you would understand my thoughts, Frank." Rhea's tone was flat, and she used a more gentle way of saying, "There are countless movies released every year all over the world, and not all works can participate in the Oscar selection, at least It doesn't affect me."
"Please, Rhea, do you still want to be humble in front of me, or do you want to hear me, a well-groomed old guy, praise your significance to Hollywood?" Oscar chairman sighed helplessly.
"That's why."
Rhea said: "Frank, don't you understand? I am no longer suitable for continuing to participate. No matter what kind of awards, if it is the judge mechanism, I will get the votes. If it is the audience mechanism, I will still get the votes." -"
The two mechanisms and the two numbers of votes respectively represent the power and prestige Rhea currently possesses.
It was Frank Pearson who first asked Rhea to stop being self-effacing, but he was still shocked by Rhea's strong declaration that she was no longer hiding.He murmured, "Well, once you're honest, it gets a little scary again."
But they knew each other well, it was a fact.
Even if the rules are changed in an attempt to find a more fair and balanced Oscar, the film art and science art categories are inseparable from the votes of the judges and the public's choice.
If there is an artificial mechanism, social relations are needed, and the veins of the film industry have been invaded by Rhea Nolen.Even the organizers and judge leaders of awards from all walks of life have become Rhea's close friends, and Frank's chairman position was even pushed up by Rhea secretly.
Even if there must be someone who can break free from the influence of power and follow the inner aesthetic tendency.Still, there are plenty of artists who can't help but fall in love with the big star's acting talent.
She is truly a movie genius!Whether it's interpretation, production, packaging, or publicity, Rhea's ability to receive so much support is of course not entirely due to interests, although interests must occupy the most important factor.
But everything is as Rhea herself said, it's time for her to exit.Otherwise, if the hegemony continues, those gradually weakened protests and opposition will come back again.
But it's still—
"Isn't it a little too early?"
Frank asked: "You can slow down and think about this issue after this session, maybe the next session. Rhea, then you are only 20 years old, and you can legally drink alcohol in China next year!"
God, abdicate to Xian!This is an idea you should have at least after you are 30 years old..."
His tone was full of emotion, partly for Rhea's miraculous achievements at such a young age, and partly for Rhea's ability to maintain such a clear mind under such a prestigious reputation.
It was enough that Rhea could get so much, and Frank Pearson didn't expect that she would be willing to give up on her own initiative.In other words, he didn't expect that the reason behind giving up was really that simple, even so honest——
Frank had known before that this was a woman who had to be respected, and now he realized she was totally respectable.
"There will be endless delays in the future. This year, the next year... If this continues, I will be shaken." Rhea just smiled: "Let's make a decision while I think clearly." .”
What else did Frank Pearson want to say: "But."
""Peggy Carter" is on the shortlist, and I will still attend the Oscar ceremony. This is the first ceremony after you become the president of the Academy." Rhea interrupted Frank, "Don't worry, my zero prizes will not be awarded. The acceptance will only gain greater topic attention and ratings for this session."
Frank was silent for a while.Rhea's thoughtful words revealed the real reason for this conversation, and also proved who is the more selfish person between them.
In front of this young girl who was decades younger than him, Frank Pearson felt a little ashamed.
"I understand, Rhea." He finally said: "I will respect your choice. If you need anything, please let me know, and I will do my best to help you."
Rhea was not polite: "Actually, I do need a help."
Frank Pearson sounded surprised when she finished asking, but obliged without hesitation. "Of course, no problem, you are definitely eligible to vote..."
Obviously, the new big man in power now not only regards Raya as a high-level cooperation partner for the exchange of interests, but also has a heartfelt approval.
Even this kind of old fox who has been in Hollywood Vanity Fair is convinced, not to mention those public opinions that are easy to be misled by the media——
Rhea's assistant, Home Darke, officially responded to the rumor through the "Hollywood Report" after public opinion fermented for a period of time, and certified that Rhea would not appear in the nominations for major awards.
"The Hollywood Reporter" is also the first time to report positively for Rhea after writing the famous satirical section of "Back Garden".
"It's a puzzling decision. When everyone thought Rhea Noren was at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, the young queen voluntarily relinquished the throne. And because we all knew she would defend it, it's This kind of renunciation is more meaningful."
During this year, well-known media including "Hollywood Report" and "Variety Show" treated Rhea very carefully.No one will name names, and no one dares to take a clear stand.
They can only follow Rhea's gossip, career progress, movie details, and more, which is to hint at the conspiracy theory behind Rhea Nolen.
Now, the media who are afraid of Rhea and even avoid it have changed their attitude and praised her.
The "New York Times" also published a headline "Don't misunderstand her, Rhea Noren is a female hermit in the modern society of the 21st century!", declaring: "What Rhea cares about is not fame and fortune!"
Dropping out of the competition proves that Rhea Noren doesn't value accolades.
And the team's coordinated trick "Riya will donate all the personal income she got from the "Peggy Carter" movie" proves that she doesn't care about benefits.
This time, the major media couldn't sit still, and responded one after another: "It is absolutely impossible for Rhea Noren's movie to misappropriate the name of the hero of 'Captain America'!"
"Film art is not just a one-to-one restoration. In addition to historical entanglement and interrogation, this adaptation has more advantages worth exploring."
Even NBC News reported the movie anecdote of "Peggy Carter", and some American audience interviewed on the street even said: "After watching this movie, I know what's going on with 'Captain America'..."
A series of news about the surge in the number of visitors to the "Captain America" Memorial Museum, limiting the number of daily visits; the announcement of the re-serialization of the old "Captain America" comics; .
"Peggy Carter" not only did not suppress "Captain America", but also helped the younger generation of American audiences regenerate interest in the old hero.
Of course, these "Captain America" series of works launched on the occasion all coincidentally increased the presence of "Peggy Carter". Even the museum asked Peggy himself for some commemorative items in response to the overly enthusiastic visitors.
This does "fix" a bit, but it's not that bad.
Even if those stubborn old pedants still want to criticize, the "indifferent to fame and fortune" that the media crazily touts can answer many endless debates.Although this is not so logical, the public has always preferred "character" to "knowledge".
The gang of black haters that Jonah Jameson had whipped up did nothing to fight back.
Between conforming to Rhea Noren and confrontation, the news media unanimously chose the former, and cooperated with her team to complete the "creation of gods" this time.
"Ha, as I said, you will be regarded as a saint!" Home was very satisfied with his first independent responsibility plan, and the female assistant smiled complacently.
"It's them who put you on the altar, no matter what, they have to maintain this choice." Holm revealed the next step, "Afterwards we will release the news that you made an exception to become an Oscar judge, no one should have any doubts... "
There can be no doubt.
"Thank you, Holm, for your hard work." Rhea's thank you was very simple, but the bonus she called to assistant Cary was not brief at all.
Holm loved the Christmas gift and was enthusiastic about what's next, "Then it's time for us to prepare your jersey. You don't go to those ceremonies to win awards, but you also have to show up for publicity.
Rhea, I know you've been a little negative lately, but we've given up enough to those Hollywood sluts before you ever give up your number one beauty spot! "
This time it was Rhea's turn to be helpless. "Okay, I'll cooperate." She said, "But you have to wait, I'll be back in two days..."
Home thought he understood Rhea's meaning: "I know, you should spend more time with your family."
"I think so too, Holm. But unfortunately, I need to deal with an urgent special event first. We will meet and talk later." After speaking, Rhea put down the phone.
In a moment of visual distortion, the warm room suddenly fell into freezing cold, and the turbulent wind and snow rushed to his face in an instant, but they were all resolved by the manager standing in front of him.The space ability properly separates the snow and fog, maintaining the cleanliness of the body.
Not far ahead, there was a scrapped car lying in the middle, and a few wisps of black smoke were still emitting from the rear of the overturned car.
"People are not here anymore."
Rhea's agent, Matthew Malloy, said.
He raised his hand, and the mobile phone that had made an emergency call teleported from the car to his palm. Malloy flipped through it, "Ten minutes ago."
Rhea stared ahead.The blond beauty's eyes are full of passion, and everything and anyone who sees the blue in her eyes seems to be more beautiful.But at this moment, that strange-colored blue was as calm as a snowstorm.
"Looks like Louise has found it."
