Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Ronald and Diane crossed the street in front of the Dorothy Chandler Hall together. This wasn't the first time they'd attended the Oscars together.

The two looked at each other and smiled. The last time they attended the Oscars together, Ronald also received the Best Original Song. I hope they will have good luck this time too.

After entering the lobby, the two of them sat separately in the "Cotton Club" and "Longwei Boy" crew seating areas.

Fortunately, neither movie received too many nominations. They were located close to each other. After sitting down, the two of them were very close to each other and could still chat.

"The Cotton Club" was nominated for two minor awards: Best Editing and Best Art Direction. "The Dragon King" was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

"Francis doesn't seem satisfied?" Ronald looked at Coppola's unhappy expression.

"He was treated politely in the country, here..." Dai An said quietly.

"Did your crew provide public relations for Morita Noriyuki?"

"Weintraub asked Morita to attend a series of association award events, but I heard that the results were not satisfactory."

The Japanese are currently engaged in a trade war with America. The commander-in-chief vowed to make Japan pay the price and respect the rules of the game, especially in terms of intellectual property rights and market opening.

Ronald knew that in this social atmosphere that resented Japanese people for taking away job opportunities, even if this was the first year that Asians united and made their voices heard through the Chen Guoren case, it would be difficult for Morita Noriyuki to defeat the "killer" "Battlefield" Cambodian Chinese doctor and amateur actor Wu Hanrun.

After all, his experience has been very tortuous and tragic. In a social atmosphere that favors Asians, he is obviously more suitable to receive the award on behalf of Asians.

"Did you see this? This is the hottest ticket in Los Angeles, a Hollywood awards show, and people will do anything to get it..."

This year's host is finally no longer Johnny Carson. Veteran actor Jack Lemmon took over the host's microphone and began to introduce the guest hosts.

The porn star Kathryn Turner and the black movie star Gregory Hines from the Cotton Club were both invited to the stage.

The first one to be awarded is the Best Supporting Actor Award. This award is awarded first every year.

Linda Hunter, the last Best Supporting Actress, is a very short woman. She often plays some old-fashioned roles such as teachers, lawyers, and nuns.

“Nominated are,

Morita Noriyuki...Longwei boy..."

Ronald turned back to cheer Morita up.

Morita's hair is still messy. After Long Wei Boy became a hit, he retained the full look of Miyagi-sensei.

"You are the only one from our crew who has been nominated. This is an affirmation of your acting skills." Ronald saw Morita's disapproval and stepped forward to comfort him.

"Thank you." Morita smiled bitterly. Although he had been running for various award selections for several months, it seemed that the general trend was that his chances of winning the award were about zero.

"The winner is...Killing Fields, Wu Hanrun."

"Keep smiling," Weintraub reminded everyone, then flashed eight teeth.

The camera of the live broadcast will scan the area where the nominees who did not win the award are located, and everyone will smile like "I didn't win, but I am even happier if he won the award."

"Are you going to Las Vegas this year? Why don't you come with me? I have a plane." Weintraub found Ronald at the party after the awards night and said to him.

"I was going there, Tom Cruise and I were going, and Paramount was going there to sell movies."

"Then we'll see you then." Weintraub was going to a film ordering conference in Las Vegas to sell his "The Kid Sequel" to be released next year, and he took Ronald with him.

Ronald's task at Paramount is even heavier. "Top Gun" is not a sequel like "The Kid". To strive for better filming and release schedules, it depends on how he and Cruise work in theaters. In front of the buyers, the charm of the movie was displayed.

"We are going to show some footage at the exhibition in Las Vegas. What kind of footage do you think would be good to cut?"

The next day, Don Simpson came over and asked Ronald that at the annual film exhibition, each booth would edit some of the highlights of movies that had already been shot, such as Top Gun. As for Dragon King 2, which is still in preparation, there are only some posters.

"Let's keep the romance between McGillis and Cruise, and add some beach volleyball scenes."

"Without air combat and aircraft carriers?"

"That part hasn't been edited carefully, and it doesn't have a shocking effect." Since CEO Mancuso targeted him, Ronald has been using back-up techniques in editing.

"There are no airplanes or aircraft carriers at all, so it's hard for theater buyers to be convinced." Bruckheimer came over to remind.

"Then let's add a shot of a fighter jet taking off." Ronald knew what he was doing, so he shot it as little as possible.

"When I go to Las Vegas for a few days, I will continue to let them do model experiments on the ground. As for the actual shooting of the sky, why don't we wait until I come back?" Ronald looked at the two producers. I also have to go to the Las Vegas show from time to time.

"Don't worry, we asked the second team director to be responsible for some subjective perspective shots. He found the most powerful and senior stunt pilot in America. Just concentrate on helping sell the film." Don Simpson smiled.

After dealing with a trip to Las Vegas to work as a salesman, Ronald returned home and always fell asleep easily during filming.

"Dangdang..." A rapid knock on the door sounded.

"Who is it?" Ronald thought to himself that this was not Little Bud's knock on the door, it must be an acquaintance, and he didn't stop him. He quickly got up in his pajamas and opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he didn't expect Diane to burst into the house wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with red eyes, hugging Ronald and started crying.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Brother Ronnie, I'm done."

"What's wrong?" Ronald was startled, asked Diane to sit down and said slowly, what happened?

"They, they, gave me a Razzie nomination for Worst Supporting Actress."

"Oh, I thought something serious happened to you, just ignore them." Ronald gave Diane a cup of black tea and comforted her.

"Brother Ronnie, since I debuted, the media has always praised my acting skills, wuwu..." Diane cried with snot and tears.

"In my first movie, 'Sunset Bridge', Sir Laurence Olivier praised my acting skills. For all subsequent movies, even if they didn't do well at the box office, the critics praised my acting skills. This time... This time... they actually gave me two nominations for Worst Supporting Actress."

"This...?" Ronald picked up the newspaper in Diane's hand. When the Oscars were being awarded, this new funny bonus plum also began to be awarded.

Diane Lane was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress for two films, "The Streets of Rage" and "The Cotton Club."

"They are all messing around. Aren't you the heroine in these two movies?" Ronald discovered a blind spot.

"Huh? Really?" Diane stopped crying, but was still sobbing.

"Besides, you didn't win the award in the end, and you will be forgotten soon." The winner of the Worst Supporting Actress award was an actress named Holly Johnson.

"Will the media really forget?" Diane stopped sobbing now and raised her head to ask Ronald.

"Definitely, who will remember such random nominations for awards? As long as it doesn't happen, that's fine."

"oh……"

Ronald took the list of nominations and winners and glanced at the nomination for Worst Supporting Actress.

He is right. This kind of Golden Raspberry Award cannot list characters with truly poor acting skills, because poor movies will not even have a chance to be released. Many nominations are just to gain exposure and deliberately put the names of some famous actors on the list.

"Look, even the last Oscar winner Shirley MacLean was nominated for Worst Actress. How could MacLean's acting skills suddenly go from the best to the worst in a few months? , it’s just sensational, you don’t care at all.”

"Well...but they gave me two nominations..."

"Don't worry, the audition opportunity Lucas promised is waiting for you. Don't worry that he will give up on you because of such a funny award."

Diane's father, Bert, is an acting coach. She has always been proud of her acting skills and was valued by the great director Coppola.

This time it was a moderate blow to her confidence in her acting skills.

After finally persuading Diane, Ronald looked at the list of winners carefully.

The biggest winner of this Razzie is Ronald's old partner, Cannon Pictures' Minahan Golan.

His supremely bad film, a parody of the hit film "The Perfect One," and the blockbuster "Bolero" with the same heroine, Bo Derek, won Worst Movie, Worst Director, Worst Actress, Worst Screenplay, and five "Awards" for Worst Score.

And Stallone was also unlucky to "win" Worst Actor.

This Golden Raspberry is really getting more and more popular. With the Oscar topic, it even got sponsors to pay for the awards ceremony.

"Huh?" Ronald's eyes saw the best supporting actor, why is it Brooke Shields?

Why is Brooke Shields a supporting actor?

"For her role as Dale in 'Sahara,' she wore a funny fake mustache," the newspaper said.

I wonder if she will be sad.

…

"Ronald, I'm fine. They put me in the nomination last time. I don't care. Anyway, I have quit the entertainment industry now. I only focus on the most important things. I must get a degree from Princeton."

"When you say that, it seems like you have moved away from the entertainment industry."

"Well, now I only care about my professional courses. When I went to Europe this time, I also met Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo. They all praised my French."

"I'm happy for you. You will definitely get what you want."

"Well, let's talk after I finish the exam."

Ronald hung up the phone to Brooke Shields. She didn't care about the entertainment industry's comments at all. When she went to the country to meet two big stars, what she remembered most was that they praised her French.

It seems that Diane, who still wants to continue to use her acting skills to break into Hollywood, pays more attention to these things.
