“The Oscars are a grand event and everyone wants to participate.”

Standing in the interview area of ​​Hollywood Heights Center, Matthew faced the reporter's footage and said casually, "So I'm here, but unfortunately I'm not nominated."

The reporter opposite did not ask more about this. After all, Matthew is not the only Hollywood star who is not interested in Oscars.

“Oscars have introduced a movie advertising session this year.”

The reporter from the broadcaster ATV asked according to the procedure formulated three days ago, "I heard that there are two of your videos in it?"

Matthew immediately said, "To be precise, one is the Hunger Games I invested in, which will be released in mid-April; the other is the Special Forces 2: A Comprehensive Counterattack, which will be available on the Independence Day schedule."

"Can you introduce these two films?" the reporter asked again.

"The Hunger Games is a movie that defeats fear with hope." Matthew introduced these two movies roughly.

The interview lasted only a few minutes and it was soon over, and Matthew completed his mission, left the interview area and headed towards the Hollywood Heights Center.

This place was previously called Kodak Theatre. With Kodak going bankrupt, it was unable to pay the naming fee. It just changed back to the original name of the Hollywood Heights Center this month. The School of Film Arts and Sciences is investing in foreign investment and seeking new partners. It is estimated that it will be changed to a new name in no time.

Matthew is well-informed. As far as he knows, Dolby is very likely to become a new title dealer.

About two or three months, the Hollywood Heights Center will be renamed Dolby Theater.

As soon as he walked up the steps, Matthew saw Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Hi, Leo." He asked.

Leonardo DiCaprio let go of the blonde woman he was holding, came over to shake hands with Matthew, and looked back deliberately, asking, "Why, you are the only one here tonight?"

Matthew shrugged slightly, "Yes, alone."

While speaking, he glanced at Leonardo DiCaprio. The blonde woman was not the last time she saw Black Raffle, but a strange face.

"I changed another one so soon?" Matthew asked in a low voice.

"We must speed up." Leonardo DiCaprio sighed and lowered his voice. "If you take slow action, all the beautiful ones will be taken away."

He continued, "Mina is a model at Sports Illustrated. Do you want her to introduce one to you?"

Matthew shook his head, "No need."

"What?" Leonardo DiCaprio asked with a raised eyebrows, "Is this going to stabilize?"

"I haven't considered it yet." Matthew told the truth.

"Leo..." The blonde woman was calling Leonardo DiCaprio.

Matthew stopped being a light bulb and took the initiative to say goodbye, pointing to the Hollywood Heights Center, "I'll go in first."

Entering the center of Hollywood Heights and following the specially set up road, Matthew walked into the VIP lounge on one side. Many people gathered here, and many people took advantage of the time before the award ceremony to communicate with the Oscar venue.

Those who don’t like to communicate can enter the theater along a specially opened channel and wait for the award ceremony to begin.

Matthew had just greeted an executive of Warner Bros. when he saw Jennifer Lawrence come over.

In public, Jennifer Lawrence is a happy silly sister, as if she will not have any worries in her life.

In this era, the character of a winner in life is far less popular than that of a foolish sister.

Previously, there were several typical female stars in Hollywood who had a life-winning personality, namely Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Needless to say, Natalie Portman has been lukewarm since the end of "Star Wars Prequel" and has never really been on the front line; Anne Hathaway and Gwyneth Paltrow are very famous, but no matter which survey list, they both rank in the top five of the most hated stars in the Americans.

What they hate most by the general public is their show-off and overconfidence.

In contrast, female stars who are not particularly beautiful in appearance, seem careless and always pretend to be stupid, are even more popular with movie fans.

Jennifer Lawrence came to Matthew and whispered, "I came in early, and I accidentally heard Tom Hanks tell people that the chairman of the college, Tom Serak, seems to be looking for you."

"Yeah." Matthew nodded slightly, "I saw Tom Sherake."

"I'll leave first." Jennifer Lawrence left here.

Not far from the left, Tom Sherak obviously saw Matthew and had already walked towards him.

Where Tom Sherak left, the famous Tom Hanks stood.

Although Matthew was not familiar with Tom Serak, he also knew that he was the current chairman of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, when he took over the position from West Germany Ganess and began his four-year term, Tom Hanks also took over as one of three vice-chairmen.

The other two vice-chairmen are famous producer Catherine Kennedy and veteran screenwriter Phil Robinson.

Matthew is familiar with Tom Hanks and Phil Robinson. When he was able to join the crew of "Brothers" to win the role of Captain Spears, it was precisely when he impressed Tom Hanks in the audition.

Phil Robinson also participated in the "Brothers" project, and is the screenwriter and director of one of the episodes.

Before he got closer, Tom Sherake took the initiative to say hello to Matthew. Matthew has always been very careful in terms of politeness. He quickly took two steps forward, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and said politely, "Good evening, Mr. Sherake."

Tom Sherake shook hands with Matthew and said with a smile, "Good evening, Matthew." He looked at Jennifer Lawrence next to Matthew, "It's so rare that you can compete in the Oscars."

Matthew also smiled and said, "I was too busy with work in the past two years, and I happened to have time this year."

In fact, he has a good impression of Tom Sherake. Although he is also a conservative, he is not a stubborn conservative and is also promoting some reforms about Oscars and Hollywood movies.

He and his former West German-Gannis jointly promoted three important measures: First, honorary awards including the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Joan Hershot Humanitarian Award, and the Irving Salberg Memorial Award were withdrawn from the Oscars and held an awards ceremony alone in November. The attention of this "plug-in" awards ceremony is incomparable to the Oscars.

Second, the list of best film nominations has expanded from 5 to 10.

Third, the Best Movie Song Award will realize the selection principle of "better to have nothing than to be too bad". In the nomination voting session, if the average scores obtained by all works do not exceed 8.25, the Best Song Award of the Year will be vacant.

"It's a pity that I didn't see your name on this Oscar nomination list." Tom Sherak came over and seemed to have a certain purpose, but said something irrelevant, "Matthew, you should compete for an Oscar performance award."

Matthew seemed serious, but in fact he responded casually, "I will if the opportunity is right."

Tom Sherake said, "With your current performance level and your perspective of choosing roles, you have the strength to compete for the best actor."

"I have to work harder." Matthew said modestly.

Tom Serak is an old world and has worked hard in the film industry for nearly fifty years. How could it be that Matthew didn't take it seriously?

Who doesn’t know that Matthew Horner lacks respect for Oscars!

But he didn't come to pay tribute, but said with a smile, "The college is currently committed to reforming, and I hope you can support the college more."

Hearing this, Matthew secretly raised his vigilance. Not to mention old men like Tom Sherake, he and Tom Hanks were not the same.

"Of course." Matthew said, "I will definitely support the college's resolution."

"Hey..." Tom Sherake sighed, "The college is also very difficult. Every decision is made, a lot of troubles are involved."

He said naturally, "Just let's talk about the college's new museum project, it has been facing a huge funding gap since it restarted at the end of last year."

Hearing this, Matthew gradually understood. The chairman of the academy came to find him. It was not that the academy's attitude towards him had changed, but that he came to raise funds, right?

Sure enough, Tom Sherake said again, "Fortunately, the members of the academy have generously donated to solve some of the funding problems."

But Matthew did not accept Tom Sherake's words, but said, "Mr. Sherake, have you ever thought of convening a large-scale fundraising event? There are many people and great power, and the college has 6,000 members, so there should be a way to solve it."

Tom Sherake didn't expect Matthew to say this, and couldn't help but be stunned. He wanted the wealthiest members of the academy to donate money to solve some of the funding gap, one of Matthew Horner's goals.

But what this means...

If he can raise funds publicly, will he still have to come here privately? What is the face of the college?

"This is also a solution." Tom Sherake can only say that.

Matthew said seriously, "I will do my job as a member of the college at that time."

Tom Sherake laughed twice, didn't say anything more, and talked to Matthew about the movies, and took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Matthew heard Helen Hermann mention the college’s film museum project that this is a grand plan for the college, with a plan to invest $400 million and a funding gap of nearly $200 million.

With such a huge amount of funds, he could only say that he could do nothing.

If the college raises the public, it is easy to say that he will donate the share he should have.

But Matthew would refuse even if it was one-tenth of the gap, he didn't have such a high awareness.

If nothing else, what is the college used to repay? Oscar Little Golden Man? Don’t say he is not interested. Even if he is interested, will the college dare to take such a huge risk?
