Exploiting Hollywood 1980

【Exploiting Hollywood 1980】 【】

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel just two weeks before the Oscar nominations were announced.

If it weren't for promotion

"Working Girl" will add more fire to the box office, and he will not come to the scene. The famous director Sidney Lumet, who was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award, did not come.

Another Australian director, Fred Schepisi, starring Mel Streep

The director of "Evil Angel" didn't come either because he didn't care about such parallel-imported awards. Apart from Ronald, there is only Clint Easterwood who returns to the director's chair. He does not have any honors and is the director.

Barry Levinson of "Rain Man", and the one who looks down on America but desires honor

Alan Parker, the director of "Mississippi Burning", attended the awards dinner dressed up. Ronald invested a lot of resources in public relations, so

"Working Girl" undoubtedly occupied six nominations and was the film with the most nominations, so their crew was also assigned to a very front table.

Surrounded by a round table made up of the cast and crew of hit, award-winning movies and TV series. This year's leading actress nominees are all Ronald's acquaintances.

For example, Sigourney Weaver not only relies on

"Working Girl" was nominated for Best Supporting Actress and was also the nominee for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

Nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series, Jodie Foster, Mel Streep, and Ronald all went to say hello.

And the best actress in a comedy category is Melanie Griffiths. She arrived with her reconciled ex-husband, Don Johnson, fully prepared in an expensive evening gown and diamond necklace.

This is the first time she has been nominated for a live broadcast award, so she takes it very seriously. In contrast, the nominee who no longer cares about these things, Spielberg's wife Amy Irving, wore an ordinary dress, as if going to a restaurant next to her home for dinner.

Another nominee, Jamie Lee Curtis, also dressed simply, wearing only a thin gold necklace.

They really treated the Golden Globes like a dinner party - the Beverly Hilton did provide a variety of food and drinks, including alcoholic beverages.

"Ahem..." Seeing Melanie Griffiths' hand reaching for the champagne again, Ronald quickly cleared his throat as a reminder.

Fortunately, the awards for Best Actress in a Comedy were awarded in the first few awards. It would be funny if he drank too much and talked nonsense.

"Well..." Melanie smiled awkwardly and said sorry in her special baby voice. Her ex-husband, Don Johnson, wisely gave her a soda. Of course, she couldn't drink too much. Going to the bathroom in such a formal dress was a big deal.

…

"The nominee for Best Actress in a Comedy Series is..." The Golden Globe Awards are a mixed award for film and television. Double the number of trophies are awarded in the same award time, so the pace of awarding is very fast.

After the two TV awards were awarded, the first film award was for Best Actress in a Comedy.

Ronald looked at the two award presenters on the stage, the male was Eric Roberts and the female was Ally Xidi.

If they had come to the Golden Globe Awards two years earlier when they had won various awards and box office acclaim, they would have given out the grand finale.

But the ups and downs in the entertainment industry are always beyond people's expectations. They have gone out of fashion very quickly. This time they can come to the Golden Globe Awards, but their agent is asking for help from the Golden Globe Awards Committee.

"Jamie Lee Curtis, a fish called Wanda. Melanie Griffiths, a working girl." The camera has swept across Ronald's round table, and Melanie Griffiths is She enters the scene in seconds and immediately assumes the image of a very elegant and well-educated lady, with just the right smile.

"And Amy Irving..." The camera turned to Amy Irving and her husband Spielberg.

Ronald relaxed a little, and finally forcing Griffith to go to the withdrawal center had a good effect. At least for those few seconds, she was still a concentrated star.

But others are terrible. Ronald stared at the two award presenters on the stage. The two men were clearly distracted, and even reading the list of nominees was a burden to them.

Especially Ally Sheedy, whose face had become expressionless in addition to the characteristic lack of concentration caused by drug abuse.

This actress was not pretty enough to begin with, so she might have made some adjustments in order to get a better role.

"Michelle Pfeiffer..." Pfeiffer didn't come this time. She was still obviously disturbed by the scandal with Malkovich. She had been reclusive for the past six months and would not show up if she could.

"Susan Sarandon..."

"The winner of the award is...Melanie Griffiths!" Ronald let out a sigh of relief, and the two finally read out the name of the winner.

The camera immediately panned over, showing Melanie Griffiths and ex-husband Don Johnson embracing and kissing. You could tell it was a genuine smile, and this was Melanie Griffiths' first major award.

"Don't forget the winning words..." Ronald also congratulated Griffiths and then made a mouth gesture.

"Haha... Last time I stood here, I was Miss Golden Globe... Hahaha..." Melanie Griffith laughed so hard that tears came out and she had to gently wipe them away with her hands.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, and Ronald also laughed and clapped, finally not forgetting this most important marketing point.

"I want to thank Jamie, Susan, Amy..." Of course, the next step is red tape. For Hollywood awards, the winner has to act as if I have won the award, which is equivalent to the fact that all five of us who were nominated have won the award.

"Uh... uh..." Melanie Griffith was so happy that she forgot Michelle Pfeiffer's name.

"I'm sorry..." Her mind went blank and she stayed on the stage for a few seconds without thinking, so she had no choice but to apologize.

"Hahaha..." The acceptance speeches that everyone saw were carefully prepared. Such very pure joy was rarely seen, and they were given kind smiles and applause.

"I would also like to thank 20th Century Fox, Mr. Barry Diller, and Mr. Goldberg, thank screenwriter Kevin Wade... and most importantly, thank you to Ronald Lee, who changed my life ...Finally, uh... uh... I want to thank all the working girls, thank you." Griffiths ran away after forgetting her words, but everyone still applauded and praised her.

"Did I screw up? Alas..." Melanie Griffiths felt dizzy after coming down.

Does this make her a Golden Globe Award-winning actress?

"Well said, you are the best..." Ronald smiled and helped her place the Golden Globe trophy, and he really cried with joy.

"The nominees for Best Supporting Actress are..." The guests announcing the Best Supporting Actress were singer Phil Collins and actress Shirley Long.

Collins was a head shorter than the opponent. He tried hard to straighten his back and even stood on tiptoes, but he couldn't balance.

Sitting below, Ronald could feel his awkward feeling. The Golden Globe Awards committee is really very unprofessional.

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award is...Sigourney Weaver, Working Girl." Ronald felt very beautiful. He had won both major awards, so he would definitely be in a lot of newspapers tomorrow, right? The struggling working girl in the movie theater will be a shot in the arm.

The box office trend of this movie is very strange for a movie directed by Ronald. The box office in several major cities on the east and west coasts is very strong. In the fourth week, it has not dropped at all. Especially in New York, there are still many full houses.

However, in the vast inland areas, the attendance rate in small towns is relatively poor.

"Rain Man" and

"Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" were so good that they almost fell below the break-even line. The audience there lacks empathy for workplace stories in big cities, and also lacks some empathy for professional women like Tess, whose abilities are no worse than those of men.

This is also the reason why Ronald relies on awards to boost box office. After all, the awards are given. In order to see the performance of the actress, he has to go to the cinema, otherwise he will have nothing to talk about in his circle of friends.

"It seems that I have to thank the bad girls for winning the award..." Sigourney Weaver was more calm. She wore a red off-shoulder skirt, which echoed Melanie Griffiths. Thanks to the working girl's statement, here comes a humorous self-deprecation.

"It's a blessing for me to be able to participate in this movie. He has the best script, the best casting, and a genius director..." Ronald smiled and applauded her.

"Thanks to Ronald Lee. He knows so much about women and his guidance to me is so accurate..." Hi... Ronald half-covered his face with his right hand. Even in Hollywood, these words are unacceptable. That's a bit much to boast about.

"I also want to thank Melanie, she is a good opponent...I want to thank Harrison, although he left me...Finally, I want to thank all the little people on behalf of Catherine, although she can't remember their names..." Ronald clapped happily this time.

The two leading actors in the cast gave excellent acceptance speeches, and Sigourney Weaver finally brought in Catherine. There will be another topic to write about in tomorrow's newspaper.

Such an actress is really worry-free. The awards for leading actress and supporting actress are all in the bag. As for best picture, best director, etc., it doesn't matter... The Golden Globe Awards are indeed fair. They will give you whatever awards you want.

The subsequent Best Director award was not due to Ronald, who deliberately worked on public relations. Eventually it went to Clint Insterwood, who returned to direct the film.

Although he admitted in his acceptance speech after taking the stage that he did not expect the award to be given to him, Ronald knew that

"Birds," a movie that tells a black story, wouldn't have even been nominated if it hadn't been for Eastwood's desperate public relations efforts.

look over there

"Mississippi Burning" director Alan Parker's face twitched, and Ronald was amused.

If you really want it, don't rely on the good reviews from film critics, put down your dignity and do more public relations.

Hollywood won't like it

"Mississippi Burning" is a dark movie that captures some negative events in America that year.

The local police had a KKK background and deliberately shot black people. The truth was finally revealed by an FBI detective.

Hey, it’s crazy that this kind of movie can win awards. It won almost as many awards as yours in Britain. It’s the right thing for Hollywood to make some movies about Britain’s discrimination against black people.

Freckles are best when they appear on other people's faces. Best Actor in a Comedy Series went to

"Grown-up" Tom Hanks won the Best Actor in a Drama Series

Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man." Ronald looked again

On the set of "Mississippi Burning," Gene Hakoman lost again to Dustin Hoffman. Acting in movies like this every day that expose America's shady secrets, this fool is still living in the 1970s.

Today's audiences no longer like movies that speak ill of America. In the past decade, one of the major changes in audience tastes is that they have begun to believe that America is the greatest country in the world.

The campaign slogan of the former commander-in-chief who just stepped down, "Let's make America great again," no matter what the facts are, is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The new generation of young people who have experienced the economic boom of the past eight years really cannot hate the government anymore. The Best Actress in a Drama Series was awarded relatively late, and the award guest was also the heavyweight Michael Douglas, the previous Best Actor winner.

"The nominees are...Jodie Foster, The Pear Blossom..." Ronald looked over and saw that Jodie Foster was about the same as Melanie Griffiths. This award was of great significance to her career. It's very important, he swallowed nervously.

"Shirley MacLean..." This person didn't come at all. She lived her true self and didn't come if she didn't want to come. She might as well be studying aliens at home.

"Meryl Streep..." This person is better, and he will support him whenever he is invited.

"Sigourney Weaver...the gorilla in the fog." This time Sigourney Weaver is a double nominee. If she wins both Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, it will also be a selling point for hype.

Ronald put his index fingers together and began praying for a big double blast. The headlines in the newspapers tomorrow will be

Two actresses from "Working Girl."

"The winner is..." Michael Douglas opened the envelope, his eyebrows raised and his mouth open, as if the winner had exceeded all his expectations.

"I don't believe my eyes..." Douglas looked at his female companion,

"The winner is, Jodie Foster..." Jodie Foster started to get excited, and her shoulders relaxed.

"And Shirley MacLean..."

"Good guy, another double cannon?\

,""And Sigourney Weaver..."

"Uh...", Ronald felt something was wrong, this was too

Are you "responsible"? Several movies are doing PR at the same time, and you just want to make three movies side by side? Three yolk eggs belong to yes.

Ronald showed a programmed smile to the camera that swept over him. He felt vaguely that he had been deceived. This kind of three-yolked egg is very controversial.

It would be fine if you tied for two, but tied for three for best actress. Are there more nominees who won than those who didn’t win?

In particular, the Golden Globe Awards have already been involved in scandals involving paid services. This kind of news may not necessarily be a good thing for Sigourney Weaver and her own movie promotion.

"Hey, Ovitz still knows the inside story..." Ronald thought of Ovitz reminding him to pay attention to the Golden Globe Awards, which seemed to be aimed at this matter.

Fortunately, in Sigourney Weaver's double-shot cannon,

There's nothing controversial about the "working girl" one.
