Chapter 665 The right to speak

The meaning of this year's Oscars is so obvious, no film can dominate the awards ceremony like last year's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Million Dollar Baby lost the best picture, but won the best director And best actress, Argo, as everyone expected, had nothing to do with the whole awards ceremony, until the final best picture.

For those who attack itself, Hollywood never mind making the sharpest counterattacks.

The Aviator, which is sympathized by many people, is not without harvest, but such a result is definitely not what Martin Scorsese wants.

Although Oscar also gave its approval to its costumes and art, and also greatly appreciated the superb photography and smooth editing, and also won Cate Blanchett the best supporting actress, but in the end, the best director and the best Film two awards, Martin? Scorsese lost.

Since Raging Bull was nominated for the Oscar for best director for the first time in 1980, the entanglement between Martin Scorsese and the Oscar statuette has always been talked about by the malicious idlers in the media. The Temptation, Goodfellas in 1990, Gangs of New York in 2002, and finally, the media gave Martin Scorsese the same treatment as Hitchcock.

A truly outstanding director, a truly outstanding master, a truly uncrowned king.

This is the second day of comments from The New York Times, the most influential print media on the East Coast.

Just like most countries have regional concepts, there has always been a tradition of contradictions between the east and west coasts of the United States, and they even summed up part of the reason for Martin Scorsese's failure to this.

Oscar is so heartless! Scorsese is frustrated again. Originally, the voice of Martin winning the award was deafening, but the old and sturdy Clint. At the last moment of the outpost, Scorsese was overwhelmed and unable to fight back. Grab the time; secondly. Martin Scorsese, the 'New York gangster' on the east coast, has no place in Hollywood on the west coast; finally, Eastwood, who is older than Scorsese, has taken all the respect for the elderly. ticket……

Success is the result of a combination of many factors, and it is enough to fail the judges if there is only one point in the failure.

For example, Hilary Swank's best actress, in Million Dollar Baby, she changed her body shape and appearance for the role's needs, made foul language, and acted in action scenes. ambition. There are even handicapped scenes of being sick and paralyzed... Almost all the elements that are favored by the statues are integrated into a furnace.

Although Martin Scorsese's fans are holding grievances, and some media also joked that Hollywood can make a Martin Scorsese's Unfortunate Experience, but the real warriors dare to face the bleak life...

Martin Scorsese did not sink in this, contacted Ryan the day after the awards ceremony and bought the rights to the remake of Infernal Affairs for $4 million.

There is also Argo. There is not much controversy in the American media that it won the best picture. The mainstream media even used the word deserving of its name to comment, but the Iranian government does not think so.

The day after the awards ceremony ended, the Iranian media set off another round of criticism.

Iranian state television slammed the film as a CIA commercial. Iran's Mehr News Agency said that the Oscar selection was politically motivated because the US First Lady Barbara Bush announced the best picture award through a video link. The whole of Hollywood, the whole of America is distorting the history of Iran.

But how many people in the United States will really care about Iran's dissatisfaction when the Oscars are singing and dancing?

Even in the entire Western world, there are a few people who will really care about the voice of Iran.

Perhaps a comment by RIA Novosti is a good explanation for this phenomenon.

In the past six months, the Iranians have lost a crucial public opinion battle, and the country has lost face in front of Ryan Jenkins and his movie, even if Ryan Jenkins himself has not No remarks have been made about the incident.

The Iranian government regards it as American arrogance, but this reflects precisely its use of the right to speak. The so-called right to speak is the power to control public opinion. Who controls the right to speak. It determines the direction of public opinion in society. Originally, different people stand from different angles. Naturally, there will be different answers.

RIA Novosti's purpose is not simple, but also deliberately cited a few examples.

For example, Columbus's Great Discovery was the beginning of a new era for Europeans. It meant a paradise for adventurers, primitive accumulation of capital and the Industrial Revolution, while for the Native American Indians it was the beginning of a catastrophe. , it means killing, enslavement and the disintegration of the original social ecology.

It's just that Western society has always held the mainstream discourse power in society, constantly beautifying the achievements of the discovery of the Americas, so that no one hears the cry of the Indians. If you write a world history from the perspective of the Indians, I am afraid it will be against the present. There is a great subversion of history.

The controversy caused by Argo this time also stems from this. No one wants to listen to Iran's views. Although Iran has also expressed its response to a remake of a film with the same theme, no matter whether it is film production, shooting skills, propaganda In terms of strategy, they cannot be compared with Hollywood blockbusters. More importantly, in the current context, Iran has been packaged by Ryan Jenkins and his allies as a country full of terrorism and a threat to world security. The source of evil.

Although the RIA Novosti report is a little exaggerated, Ryan does have a very strong influence on public opinion in the United States now.

For example, in the farce before the awards ceremony, the mainstream media reports unanimously pointed the finger at Isaac Mezrahi. identity is completely ignored.

Having said that, no matter what his status is, doing such a move in public is definitely a bigger scandal than the one Jenny Jackson and Justin Ding Blake did.

And the spokespersons of the stars who were harassed by him also made public accusations one after another. For example, Jessica Alba, who was surrounded by some people, also claimed to sue Isaac Mezlassie.

Isaac Mezrahi was as famous as he thought, and even made headlines in many big newspapers, but the pressure of the attack caused him to encounter a lot of trouble.

It's not that he didn't think about fighting back, but after the finished article was sent to the editorial department of Vogue, there was no news. Then he received a call from Anna Wintour's assistant and returned to New York as quickly as possible. .

It's been a while since the Oscars ended. According to Vogue's tradition, a special issue will be issued after the awards ceremony, but Isaac Mezrahi didn't see his own comments on the special issue, and sat down with the Vogue When the devil's head was facing her, she already felt something was wrong.

Mr. Mezlassi, your actions disgraced the entire Vogue.

Anna Wintour, opposite Isaac Mezlassie, was expressionless and didn't give him any chance to explain, Vogue's reputation is damaged, the company will hold you accountable, from now on, you don't Another member of Vogue.

You can't do this! A drop of sweat rolled down on Isaac Mezrahi's forehead. It was cold sweat. His biggest reliance was Vogue. If he didn't have the status of Vogue editor, he would An inexperienced actor and costume designer, what can he do against a string of famous Hollywood stars?

Lauren... Anna Wintour ignored Isaac Mezlasey's clamor and pressed the intercom, Notify the people in the security department and supervise Isaac Mezlassy's resignation throughout the process.

You can't do this! Isaac Mezraciho stood up, I will complain to the union!

Whatever! Anna Wintour remained expressionless, if you still have a chance.

What do you mean by having a chance?

Just when Isaac Mezlassi was thinking about the meaning behind this sentence, an assistant walked into the office with two security personnel, and he had to go back and organize his belongings under the surveillance of the other party...

The present Isaac Mezlasi no longer had the smugness at the Oscars, but instead kept sweating down his forehead. He had a high income, but he was a typical American. Overdraft spending had long since become a habit. More importantly, he just mortgaged a small villa on Long Island some time ago. Without a job, it was a fatal blow...

Two security guards kept watch on him until he left the company and got on the elevator.

After getting out of the elevator and walking into the lobby of the office building, Isaac Mezrahi held the box with one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other. With his past experience, he found a well-paying job in a short period of time. , it is not too difficult, maybe if you change a media job, there will be better opportunities for development.

Just as he thought so, when he was about to reach the door of the building, two middle-aged men walked towards him. After their eyes swept across his face, they immediately stopped and stopped him.

One of the men took out his ID and flashed it in front of him, Issaac Mezrahi, right?

Isaac Mezrahi nodded.

We are the inspectors of the National Internal Revenue Service...

Hearing this, Isaac Mezrahi was shocked. What did the people from the tax bureau ask him to do?

We received a report. The other party showed him several official documents. You concealed some of your income and tax evasion in the documentary you made two years ago. We have the right to ask you to assist in the investigation!

Crash! The box that Isaac Mezlassie was holding fell to the ground.

Ruined!

It was his only thought. (To be continued) R580
