Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 175 Enemies meet

The Golden Globes don’t have a host. The guests who presented the awards knew the order in which they came on stage, and they also came up with their own speeches. A guest who drank too much champagne went crazy on and off the stage, and the only way to cover it up was for the celebrities to cover it up.

Therefore, the Golden Globe Awards has a position that other awards ceremonies do not have, Miss Golden Globe Awards. Her main task is to remind guests and winners to come on stage, and also to drag guests off when they speak over time or make a fool of themselves while drunk.

There are no acting requirements for this role, the function is similar to that of a guide, and anyone can play it. There is also a lot of camera time to take care of, which is usually a shortcut for second-generation stars to enter the industry.

However, this year’s Miss Golden Globe is not a second-generation star, but 27-year-old Roxanne Carton, a black model. This is also in response to complaints that no black movie stars have won awards during the awards season in the past two years.

The Golden Globe Awards are a combined award for TV series and movies. However, the current trend in Hollywood is that movie stars are of a higher standard, so TV series awards are given first. The caa-led "General" is the big winner.

This TV series tells the story of a Westerner, John Blackthorne, who took a merchant ship to Japan and was blown ashore in a storm. Then with the assistance of the translator, Mrs. Mariko, he helped the Kwantung warlord Toranaga win the battle of Sekigahara and unify Japan.

Ronald guessed that Toranaga was the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu. Yoko Shimada, who played Mrs. Mariko, won the Best Actress in a TV Drama Series and wore a traditional kimono on stage to accept the award.

Actor Richard Chamberlain also won Best Actor in a Television Drama Series, while Toshiro Mifune, who played the general, did not win. Ronald had seen some of Akira Kurosawa's films, in which Mifune was the main character. Perhaps because they were not nominated, none of the Japanese movie stars came to the event.

Ovitz, the president of CAA, planned the entire TV series, but Ronald looked around carefully and couldn't find him. He still adhered to the traditional broker's habit of not stealing the limelight from his clients and did not come to the scene.

Next were the film awards. Soon it was the turn of Best Score.

"Nominated are Stuntman..., American Gigolo..., The Empire Strikes Back, John Williams, Famous, Michael Gore..."

"The winner for Best Score goes to Stunt Man - Dominique Frontier..."

Ronald comforts Michael Gore next to him. Gore showed an embarrassed smile. He originally thought John Williams was his biggest opponent, but he didn't expect to be robbed by the "stuntman".

After interspersed with several minor awards, it was Best Actress in a Comedy Musical in a Motion Picture.

This is also the award for which Erin Kara was nominated.

"Nominated are, Miner's Daughter - Sissy Spacek, Silly Girl in the Army - Goldie Hawn, 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton, Famous - Erin Cara..."

"The winner for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical is...Sissy Spacek, Miner's Daughter."

Ronald obviously saw the flame in Irene Kara's eyes flash and extinguish. Today, neither Goldie Hawn nor Dolly Parton came, and the award was actually chosen between Sissy Spacek and her. Producer Da Silva stood by her side and reminded, "Smile, Erin, smile."

Sissy Spacek came to the stage to accept the award. This Southern girl who made her debut in "Carrie" turned from horror movies to biopics and played the famous Southern country singer Loretta Lynn.

Ronald noticed that there were not many cameras in the Golden Globes broadcast, unlike the Oscars where the reaction of each nominated actor before the awards could be captured. The cameras on the stage only scanned the audience. Irene Kara may not get the opportunity to appear alone. In fact, there is no need to smile.

Then there's Best Original Song, an award Ronald was nominated for.

“Nominated for Best Original Song for a Motion Picture are 9 to 5 – Dolly Parton, Famous – Michael Gore, Ronald Lee…”

Ronald couldn't help but sit up straight. He had always felt that the Golden Globe Award was of little value, and lyric writing was not his professional direction. But when the matter came, he still hoped that he would win the award, and he was also a little nervous.

"The winner is... The Famous Theme, composed by Michael Gore and written by Ronald Lee."

"Mention Irene, please." Producer Da Silva, who stood up to hug Ronald and Gore, whispered in their ears.

Ronald nodded in agreement and went to the podium with Michael Gore.

"Ah, they are two young people. When I first entered the industry..." The male award-winning guest who obviously drank too much champagne was pulled off the stage by Miss Golden Globe and the sober female guest before he could finish his sentence. Give it to two winners.

Michael Gore spoke first:

"First I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who select the Golden Globe winner on behalf of foreign journalists. And then I want to thank my partner Ronald, whose lyrics inspired me.

And then there's Erin Cara, who sang the song, and it was her rendition of the song that made it a household name. And producer Da Silva, and director Alan Parker, they made the movie beautiful. Finally, I would like to thank my family, especially my sister Leslie, for their support. "

Gore handed the microphone to Ronald.

Gore had finished his good words, and Ronald also took out his prepared remarks, which were roughly the same as those of Gore. However, Ronald had already anticipated this situation, and he calmly turned the object of his gratitude upside down and said it again.

"First of all I want to thank my family for their support... then to Erin Kara, whose vocals make this song even better... and then to the composer, Michael Gore, who inspired me after hearing part of the melody …Finally, I would like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association…”

The audience applauded. Ronald discovered that when the two were saying their acceptance speeches, the cameras on the stage were facing the audience. It seemed that both of them mentioned Irene Kara's name, and NBC would give her a separate shot.

The task was successfully completed.

The Golden Globe trophy is a small golden ball surrounded by film. After the award ceremony, I had a gold-plated award certificate with Ronald's name on it. It was also a good decoration at home.

After sitting back at the round table, Gore handed the trophy to Erin Kara, who was eager to try. The little girl took the trophy in her hand and touched it a few times, then put it back on the table as if she was afraid of fingerprints on the trophy. It can be seen that Erin hopes that she can win the award.

The blazing eyes were not only from Erin Kara. Ronald discovered that Demi Moore and the Israeli brothers were also staring at the trophy on the table. Although it was a small trophy not much bigger than the palm of his hand, there were few people in the entertainment industry who didn't love it. of.

Best Newcomer was awarded next. Best New Actress went to Natasha Kinski. Kinski, wearing a yellow dress, jumped up to the front desk briskly, received the Golden Globe Award and began to deliver her acceptance speech.

"She will soon be starring in Coppola's film 'Old Love'. So I won't mention Polanski." Demi Moore said softly in Ronald's ear with a hoarse voice.

No wonder, in Natasha Kinski’s acceptance speech, she only thanked the director of Tess without mentioning her name.

Best New Actor went to Timothy Hutton.

Ronald's face turned serious.

Baby-faced Hutton came on stage to accept the award. Ronald was not interested in listening to what he had to say, so he picked up the champagne and drank it down.

Demi Moore got him another glass of champagne, handed it to Ronald, and replaced his empty glass. She saw Ronald's displeased expression when he saw Hutton, but there was always natural hostility between young men, so Demi decided to take another look.

Best Director – Ordinary Man Robert Redford

Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) – Mary Tyler Moore

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture – Everyman Timothy Hutton.

"Ordinary People" made a killing at the Golden Globes, and Timothy Hutton won another.

Demi Moore is now sure that Ronald did have a conflict with Timothy Hutton. When he saw him on stage to receive the award for the second time, although he tried his best to hide it with a smile, he still showed deep disgust in his movements. .

The more than three-hour awards show ended. Ronald and Michael Gore took the Golden Globe trophy and went backstage to receive the award certificate.

Demi Moore took his arm and followed closely. The staff was preparing to engrave on the gold-plated copper plate of the certificate. Ronald's certificate was finished first, and he and Demi went to the lobby to wait first.

At this time, media reporters were in the hall asking celebrities to pick up the Golden Globe Awards and take photos. The Golden Globe Awards all rely on stars to support their appearance. In order to have more stars to accept the award, they even set up two categories for Best Actor and Actor, Drama and Musical/Comedy.

However, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, which are generally not considered star awards, are combined into one category.

Ronald knew that his award was mediocre and there were no reporters to interview and take photos, so he took the initiative to stand aside and wait.

Unexpectedly, the reporter still rushed towards the direction where he was standing, "Natalie! Bob, here, give us a smile? Take a photo of the two of them."

"It's Natalie Wood and her husband Robert Wagner," Demi Moore whispered next to Ronald.

Ronald also recognized it. The couple walking behind him were both famous stars. Natalie Wood was born as a child star and later starred in many blockbuster films. She looks somewhat similar to Diane Lane. Her husband, Wagner, has an upright face and has played leading roles in many TV series.

Ronald quickly took another half step back, while Demi Moore always wanted to go up and show her face.

"Natalie, take a Golden Globe trophy and strike that pose again," the reporter asked the couple again.

"Sorry, I can borrow it..." Natalie Wood looked back a few times and smiled at Ronald, "Reporters always like to make fun of me."

She once won the Golden Globe Award for Best New Actress for "Rebel Without a Cause", and the photo of her holding the Golden Globe Award has been reprinted by countless newspapers and magazines.

"Of course." Ronald smiled and handed over his Golden Globe Award.

Natalie Wood became the center of attention, posing in various poses holding Ronald's Golden Globe Award. Ronald saw that her husband, Robert Wagner, was a little left out, so she went up to talk to him.

"I loved your TV series 'Pearl Harbor' and I didn't expect to see you here."

"Oh, do you want an autograph?" Wagner didn't think carefully and regarded Ronald as an ordinary fan.

Ronald wore a formal dress today and didn't bring the pen and paper that he usually kept with him. He felt a little regretful when he rashly approached him to chat with her.

"Here, please sign here." Demi Moore cleverly took out a notebook and pen from her old handbag and asked Wagner to sign. "

"Timothy, Timothy, can you and Natalie take a photo with the golden ball?" The reporter saw Timothy Hutton coming out of the hall again and called for them to take a photo.

Natalie Wood, who returned the Golden Globe Award to Ronald, raised her empty hand to indicate that she no longer had the trophy in her hand.

"It doesn't matter, I have two." Timothy Hutton handed over a trophy, then put his arm around Natalie Wood, and the two posed for reporters to take pictures for a while.

"Goodbye, boy." Natalie returned the trophy and hugged her husband's arm. "Let's go, Bob." Then she nodded to Ronald to express her gratitude.

"Oh...Bob, he's still a boy..." Natalie's silvery laughter came from the distance.

"Natasha! Miss Kinski!" The reporter spotted Natasha Kinski appearing in the lobby again, and heckled the winner of the Best Newcomer Actor and Actor to pick up the Golden Globe Award for a photo.

Timothy Hutton and Natasha Kinski pose again for reporters to take photos.

Ronald didn't like it, and Hutton pressured him to lose his job as screenwriter of the Grease sequel. So he turned to Demi and asked, "I'm leaving. Are you going with Natasha?"

"Hey, isn't this Ronald?" Timothy Zuo just discovered the existence of the two of them, "Do you want to call the reporter back and take a photo together?"

Ronald knew that Timothy Hutton was demonstrating to him with the reporters' admiration, so he snorted, ignored him, and started to leave.

Timothy was so happy that he mouthed to Ronald, "who's your daddy?"

Ronald was about to fight back, when Natasha Kinski discovered Demi Moore, "Demi, you are here, I was looking for you just now."

Demi Moore hugged Ronald's arm a little tighter, "Ronald and I are together, Natasha, remember?"

"Of course, Ronald." Natasha Kinski hugged him happily. The audition photos Ronald took of him were excellent. Coppola saw the photos first, and then went to the cinema to see "Tess". After seeing Kinski's acting skills taught by Polanski, he decided to use her as the actor. The second female lead in the new film.

Now it was Timothy Hutton's turn to be upset.

"Natasha, we are going to the party soon. Didn't you say you want to meet Director Robert Redford? And your girlfriend, let's go together. There are many people in the film and television industry there who you can meet."

"Yeah, party!" Many handsome men and beauties came one after another after Hutton, all meeting to attend the celebration party of the "Ordinary People" crew.

Natasha didn't know why, and she didn't know the conflict between Ronald and Hutton, "Okay, Demi, will you come with me?"

The time has come for Demi Moore to make a choice. On one side was Ronald, a lyricist and film screenwriter, who knew some small-scale producers.

On the other side is the popular star idol Timothy Hutton. At that party, we also had the opportunity to meet more people in the film and television industry.

Demi Moore glanced at Natasha Kinski and the men and women around Timothy Hutton, and made a decision in her heart.

"No, I made an appointment with Ronald...you guys have a good time."
