America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 183 Surrounded by mature women, what is America’s sweetheart?

The so-called Emmy Award, which is the transliteration of the word "Immy", refers to the early image positive resolution tube camera.

It is a ceremony dedicated to awarding awards to TV series. It can be simply understood as the Oscars in the American TV series industry.

Together with the Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards, it is known as the four major awards in the American entertainment industry.

This Tony Award is a drama award, and the actor Anthony McCann of Get Out is the winner of the Tony Award.

So when someone wanted to star in the film through his father's connections, Eric agreed without hesitation when he heard that he was a Tony Award winner.

In terms of fame alone, the Emmy Awards are definitely not as big as the Oscars and Grammy Awards overseas. Many people have not even heard of them. At most, they only know about the Oscars, Grammy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.

But the importance of the Emmy Awards in the United States is no less than that of the Oscars, and at the same time, it is far more inclusive than the Oscars.

Because the Emmy Awards are held not once but many times a year, they are roughly divided into the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards.

The Daytime Emmy Awards cover sports programs, news and documentaries, technology and engineering, youth and students, etc., and will be held in each field.

The Primetime Emmy Awards specifically refers to the one Eric is participating in now, and the time is fixed on a Sunday in September every year.

The so-called prime time refers to programs broadcast between 8 pm and 12 pm.

Generally speaking, it is either a TV series or a reality show. Major TV stations rarely use this time period to broadcast other things, which is a waste of resources.

In addition to the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, there is actually another branch of the Emmy Awards called the International Emmy Awards.

As the name suggests, in addition to domestic dramas in the United States, other countries in the world, as long as they join the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, become members, and pay annual membership fees, they are eligible to select their own dramas to participate.

So how valuable is this International Emmy Award?

Is it as high as three or four stories?

Is it a big bonus for the actors themselves?

What a fart! Big fart!

As long as it is of some use, it will not be of no use at all!

As long as you register, you will be shortlisted. Whoever puts in more money will win. This is the general award rule.

It's equivalent to going to the United States and spending money to buy a diploma. That's pretty much what it means.

Eric remembers that when "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was shortlisted for the International Emmy Awards, many viewers were extremely excited. They thought it was so awesome and that Americans knew the stuff.

The unscrupulous media also confuses the public and directly simplifies the International Emmy Awards into the Emmy Awards. The problem is that you are not an American TV series, competing for a shitty Emmy Award.

These reports are meant to deceive the ignorant, and are viewed with amusement by many people in the industry and knowledgeable audiences.

The so-called International Emmy Awards, it would be more appropriate to rename them the Sophistication Awards. The gold content is not even as high as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards more than ten years later. It is just a joke.

The Sanctuary Theater in Los Angeles at this time.

As a theater with a long history, it has hosted various awards ceremonies.

Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmy Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, etc., almost all of those who can be invited here to attend the award ceremony today are famous stars in Hollywood.

Not only small screen stars are included, but many big screen stars will also be invited to participate.

At this time, there was a sea of ​​people outside the Temple Theater, the red carpet was laid out for hundreds of meters, reporters kept pressing the shutter, and fans gathered around on both sides and screamed.

Peter parked the car and Eric opened the door and stepped out.

As usual, he came alone, not with the Walking Dead crew.

Walking along the red carpet, he knew that the shouts of these fans were not for him. After all, he was still a person behind the scenes.

So I have no nostalgia, I just want to quickly enter the theater, find my place, and then be a quiet and beautiful man.

Next to it, is the crew of the hit drama "Six Feet Under", which is also the current mainstay of HBO.

"Six Feet Under," "The Sopranos" and "The Walking Dead" currently form the three pillars of HBO.

But tonight, this crew will all be competitors.

After taking one look at them, Eric stopped paying attention to them. They were all actors on the small screen and had never made it to the big screen in their lives.

After passing the crews of "Will \u0026 Grace", "The West Wing" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", four mature women appeared in front of Eric.

The four leading actors from "Sex and the City," or "Sex and the City," are Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nicholson, Kristen Davis, and Kim Cattrall.

"Hi! Eric, I see you."

Kristin Davis's eyes lit up when she spotted Eric passing by, and she hurriedly came over to say hello with a smile, very familiar.

When the heroine of "House of Cards" was cast a few months ago, Kristen Davis auditioned, but she only received an apology, but she was considered familiar.

Also in the same situation was Sarah Jessica Parker, who noticed the situation and quickly came over to say hello.

As for the other two, they did not participate in the audition and had no contact with Eric, but they naturally knew his identity.

Being stopped by two mature women, Eric was embarrassed and ignored them, and could only respond with a fake smile.

"Eric, you are so handsome and charming today. This suit suits your figure so well." Sarah Jessica Parker praised.

"No, he was always handsome and charming and I wanted to eat him up every time I saw him," Kristen Davis added.

The atmosphere in Hollywood has always been open, whether it's dressing up or talking and joking.

Eric responded casually: "Ladies, you are also very charming. Fortunately, we are not competitors tonight, otherwise I can't help but admit defeat."

"Ha ha ha ha"

The two women immediately giggled.

Kristen Davis came closer, licked the corner of her mouth and whispered: "We can become competitors tonight, if you want."

Eric glanced at her: "Damn, she is indeed a slut. She actually seduced me in public. It seems she really wants to make progress."

Click click click

The camera shutter kept clicking, and the reporters motioned for Kristen to get closer. She simply took Eric's arm.

"Um?"

Eric could clearly feel his arm hitting something soft.

Seeing Kristen Davis climbing up, Sarah Jessica Parker was not to be outdone and took the initiative to walk to the right and take Eric's other arm.

Hit something soft again.

After the reporters took a few photos, they simply called Cynthia Nickerson and Kim Cattrall to come with them.

Then Eric was surrounded by four mature women, and his breath smelled of ripe apples.

It's the kind of apple whose skin may have turned a little black and whose flesh is relatively soft and will rot if you poke it.

The flash flashed wildly, and the reporters asked for more pictures from different angles.

Eric really wanted to roll his eyes and leave, but he had to cooperate in order to maintain his image.

"Hey! Eric, you look happy."

At this time, someone next to him greeted him again. Eric turned his head and looked over and found that it was Brad Pitt.

He immediately squeezed out of the crowd of women: "Sorry ladies, I wish you good luck tonight."

Kristen Davis pouted slightly and winked at him.

He walked over and said hello to Pete. The two had met many times at premieres and various parties.

Brad Pitt is currently one of the top male stars in Hollywood. He is qualified to stand with him and be regarded as a friend with whom he can have a drink and chat for a few words.

When Facebook was first launched, it was very active in helping to promote and promote it.

After chatting for a while, Eric asked curiously: "These reporters seem to be saying that you are also a finalist?"

Brad Pitt acted like you looked down on me: "Eric, I'm a finalist for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series."

As he spoke, he leaned into Eric's ear and told the truth: "I didn't want to participate. It was mainly to accompany Aniston."

After hearing what he said, Eric suddenly remembered that Brad Pitt once guest-starred in an episode of "Friends". That's it.

While talking, Pete pulled Eric to the set of Friends.

"Eric, let me introduce you to my wife Jennifer Aniston. This is"

"NO, NO, NO"

"No need for introduction, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc."

"I love 'Friends' and every character in it. You guys are truly the best and most endearing screen partners."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Being appreciated, all six of them laughed exaggeratedly.

Although it was the first time they met, Eric assured that he was a big fan of "Friends" even before time travel. It was his favorite American TV series.

If the rights weren't in NBC's hands, he would really want to buy it.

"Come on, let's take some group photos. It's not often that we can gather the six of you offline."

After taking the photo, Eric looked at the reporter from the Los Angeles Times: "After the photo is developed, please send it to me. You know the address."

Brad Pitt was a little surprised: "Eric, it seems you didn't lie."

"Of course, I said, absolute super fan."

Arriving at the theater, Eric, Pitt, and Aniston walked and chatted.

Jennifer Aniston winked, and her husband Pitt asked casually: "Eric, Jennifer has accumulated enough popularity on the small screen."

"Actually, she has always wanted to develop into movies. Is there any suitable project for her at MGM recently?"

Looking at this blonde girl who is known as the last "America's Sweetheart", Eric couldn't help but sigh that she does have a charm that belongs exclusively to Rachel Green.

What is America's Sweetheart? This title is not something that can be obtained by just any female star. It requires far more than just beauty.

The first is that sweethearts must be sweet, strong women, and those with too big breasts and too long legs are not acceptable. For example, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Janssen are definitely the type to make a man’s crotch feel hot first and then feel cold. Can't get involved.

The second is that the personality is a bit confused, but sunny and positive. If you are not a green tea bitch, you will not be able to be selected if you are a coquettish person like Elizabeth Taylor or Emma Roberts.

The third character should be kind and kind-hearted. Generally, even if he is bullied, he will not say bad words and act like a little crybaby. Anne Hathaway and Chloë Sevigny are not suitable.

Fourth, you need to have a girl-next-door feel, show intimacy, and not be pretentious. At the same time, you should not give people a sense of condescension and sanctity that cannot be profaned. For example, Emma Watson is too pretentious, and Audrey Hepburn is too fairy. , Grace Kelly is too royal, which is not consistent.

Finally, you have to be American, and you must have blond hair and white skin. Theron and Halle Berry were directly screened out.

All of Aniston's characters fit the mold, and it can be said that the character of Rachel was written based on America's sweetheart.

When Aniston played Rachel for ten years, she naturally became the true embodiment of America's sweetheart.

At the same time, such standards and customized characters will never appear again in the future.

Out-of-print title!

Eric smiled: "Character? Let me think about it."

He recalled in his mind the movies that Jennifer Aniston had starred in, and there were indeed a few that were more representative and commercially successful.

For example, in "Marley and Me", "Horrible Bosses" and "Fake Family", Aniston has contributed considerable acting skills and box office appeal.

These movies are not time-sensitive. They are the type that can be successful in any era. It would be good to shoot them in advance and they can be used as MGM projects in 2004.

"Jennifer, do you like dogs?"

Jennifer Aniston was stunned for a moment, thinking that this question had such a big jump.

"Of course, I love dogs. I have two Great Danes at home."

"Great, MGM does have a project, a heartwarming family movie about dogs."

"Hachiko, the loyal dog?" Pete asked.

"No, it's not a tragedy, it's a comedy, a warm comedy. I think Jennifer can be the heroine."

"Really?"

Aniston covered her mouth in surprise. She just wanted to give it a try and didn't expect to get the role.

Since becoming famous with Rachel, I have also made several movies, but unfortunately they all failed, and gradually no projects came to me anymore.

Aniston is thinking about starting with small-budget independent films or stage plays.

"Of course it's true. The script is being written and is expected to be released next year. Are you interested?"

"Yeah, very interested, oh my God, it was like a big pie just fell into my mouth."

"My dear, I just said that attending this party was the right choice. It seems that this lucky ring really worked."

"You look so happy when you look like Rachel."

After chatting with the two for a while, Eric found the table where the Walking Dead crew was sitting.

Frank Darabont, Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Daniel Wu, Barle Farley and a few behind the scenes gathered around the round table.

Picking up a small snack and putting it in your mouth, the college prepared all high-quality goods and they tasted quite good.

"Daniel, aren't you filming in Xiangjiang?"

"The filming has been completed. My movie is finished."

"It's a Jackie Chan movie, right?"

"Well, in New Police Story, I play the villain."

"Yes, with your face, you have a bright future."

Wu Yanzu grinned and said: "Boss, I'm worse than you!"
