Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Forehead……"

Ronald was not happy. In the first award, two nominations for "Working Girl" fell through. But he had to pretend to applaud as if nothing had happened. There is no host at this year's awards show. He didn't know that for the sake of connection, the photo opportunities would not come to him. If he was photographed with a sad face, he would make history.

"The following is the two-time Oscar winner, Miss Jane Fonda."

It is very strange that there is no host at the award show, and the award presenters are not allowed to come out and introduce themselves, which is not in line with etiquette. Especially for the two awards of best sound design and best sound editing, it is Jimmy Stewart, the biggest living male star in Hollywood, who starred with him in "Vertigo" Kim Novak.

Therefore, in order to introduce the two award presenters, Jane Fonda, who has a high enough card position, must be invited.

"Her skirt is beautiful, and I will wear it in the future..." Diane whispered into Ronald's ear when she saw Jane Fonda's conservative and sexy dress. There are no buttons in the middle of the golden blouse, and the bottom is a black mesh skirt. A contradictory feeling makes men admire and women envy.

Ronald turned to look at Diane. Hollywood rumors that Jane Fonda had separated from her husband and was now dating an Italian soccer player in Los Angeles who played for the Hollywood Kickers. What do you want to wear this kind of clothes for?

"I'll wear it for you to see alone..." Diane saw Ronald's thoughts and whispered in his ear.

A feeling of itching came, and Ronald felt his whole body was in high spirits, so he hurriedly increased the intensity of his applause... Huh, huh, huh.

Two highly respected guests presented two small prizes. After that it was time for the best makeup.

Unexpectedly, Samsung Pictures did not release "The Reborn Handsome Man" and spent a huge sum of money to make the leading actors and actresses Robert Downey Jr. and Sybill Shepard as award presenters.

Ronald didn't care about this kind of small award that he didn't get nominated for. He turned his head around and found the female president of Samsung Pictures, Dan Steele, who was sitting in the back to say hello.

Dan Steele's Columbia and Tristar Pictures have all but ceased operations this year. She had few more projects to take care of, other than the distribution of a few of Ronald's movies that had to be entertained.

So, she didn't have any good seats this time either. Seeing the goodwill projected by Ronald, Dan Steele also nodded happily to him, raised his palms and applauded, expressing that he felt his greeting.

Because there is no host, even the song and dance performance in the middle is announced by voice-over. An actress who played a classic cartoon image, sang on stage and delivered a speech for her return to the Oscars.

"Oh, my God..." Ronald felt that his embarrassing toes were about to dig a hole in the ground. He had no choice but to look around to hide his embarrassment, but there were many high-level studio executives sitting around him. Except for Disney President Eisner, who was present, all of them were smiling... What is this? The limelight gave you Disney's cartoon image?

"Hee hee hee..." Ronald heard a weird laugh from the stage. The actress seemed to be very nervous, her voice trembled, and she sang broken notes in many places. Moreover, the real person wears Snow White's outfit and cartoon makeup, which is not cute at all, but a bit scary.

"Uh..." Diane, who was leaning against Ronald, also had goosebumps all over her body. Such a performance was simply a disaster.

"Bai Xue, are you very touched, are you very excited, you will get better soon, come to meet your blind date——Rob Lowe!"

"Um, it's going to get worse soon..." Ronald covered his face. Alan Carr, the producer of this awards show, lived almost forty years ago. It's spooky enough to get a real Snow White out, and get ex-Boyboys playboy Rob Lowe to go out on a date with her.

Ever since Emilio Estevez's illegitimate child scandal broke, the Kid Gang has become a historical term. Rob Lowe has not seen any influential works since then, and has been left far behind by Tom Cruise, who debuted with him that year.

Ronald looked over at Disney's Eisner again, embarrassing even him. Snow White is an important image of Disney, how did she get along with Rob Lowe, a playboy with chaotic relations between men and women?

After finally getting through this embarrassing ten-minute performance, everyone applauded happily. it is finally over.

"Hey, Jean..." A proud little actor walked past Ronald who was sitting on the edge of the aisle, and pushed him away rudely, "I'm going up to present the awards..."

Ronald was offended, but he didn't show it, he just shoved aside. Because he saw an acquaintance behind him, gesturing to Ronald, apologizing for the young man's behavior.

It was Canadian actor Donald Sutherland, who came over to apologize for his son Kiefer.

"Ronald...Sorry, we have to rush over..."

"No problem, good luck"

Next came the long-lost Australian singer and movie star, Olivia Newton John, who took the stage to introduce the guests for the next award.

Ronald understood, no wonder Sutherland and his son would be the award presenters. This award is an honorary award, given to the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Canadian Film Association, the friendliest in Hollywood.

The two Canadian father and son actors happened to be the most suitable candidates to present the award. Donald Sutherland is the boss actor and son Kiefer is the rising star. He just replaced Rob Lowe's group of kid gang members who were dancing awkwardly just now, and is now the hottest young actor in Hollywood.

After the awards were presented by the two, Ronald looked at Billy Crystal who was on stage. This guy was recruited by the organizing committee to act as a stringer to introduce the award presenters.

He was introducing two of Hollywood's great tap dancers, Sammy Davis Jr. and Gregory Hines. Both are black and members of the Rat Gang, the predecessors of the Kid Gang. To be honest, their demeanor is much stronger than that of the Boys, after all, they are real actors with skills.

"The Academy Award for Best Original Song is ... Carly Simon, Working Girl!"

With the announcement from Sammy Davis Jr., Carly Simon jumped out of her chair.

She really didn't expect that she could win the award today. The "Working Girl" track "Let the River Flow", although Ronald liked it so much that it was used as the film's first theme song, the record company was not too impressed with it, and they refused to put the song on Carly. Inside Simon's new album.

"Ah, hahaha...", Carly Simon laughed three times holding the statuette, making you look down on the song I wrote and composed.

"First of all, I would like to thank Ronald, he is the guardian angel of everyone in the crew!"

"Finally there is an award winner who can speak..." Ronald felt very good. Last time at the Oscars, Xue Er won the Best Actress, and even the hair stylist thanked her, but she didn’t thank herself. This time, Carly Simon is a frequent visitor to the Grammys, so it’s not a problem for such a big scene. She came from New York An artist can handle such a big scene.

"...Finally I want to thank my boys, if you're watching TV, your moms are feeling so proud right now!"

Ronald stood up and applauded happily. Such an awardee gave the movie extra points. He looked over to the Mississippi crew that was burning, and the Rain Man crew. Among the price crew, he was the first to open... Maybe it's a good sign.

However, the good signs quickly faded. After a few small awards, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore took the stage to present Best Cinematography.

They also had a little joke, Demi Moore said that in order to recognize the best photography, they will show the worst photography, Bruce added that the photographer is himself.

It turned out that they put a home video of Demi feeding her daughter Rumer to the Oscars party. Bruce Willis's photography skills are indeed very poor, not to mention the focus of the lake, the wrong scene and other issues, he took dozens of seconds of video, half of the time is only the back of Demi's head...

Best Cinematography was awarded to the photographer of "Mississippi is Burning", the Briton Peter Baizuo. The balding, moustachioed man with bold cinematic imagery, in addition to this award-winning film, was the director of photography on Adrian Lane's "Nine and a Half Weeks of Love."

But he was very shy in real life. He came up and took the statuette from Demi, said "Thank you everyone" in a low voice, and went down shyly.

Ronald looked amused and applauded to express his congratulations. But he quickly felt the gaze from the other end. Director Alan Parker, and actor Gene Hackman both cast malicious glances.

Ronald read what they meant, and now it was one to one.

The next winner is the best actor. This year's Oscars broke many traditions, even the old tradition of presenting awards to the best actresses from the last best actor, and the last best actor to best actor awards. The actor who presented the award was the last actor, Michael Douglas.

Ronald was a bit surprised at first, thinking that the Best Actress Award was announced in advance.

There are five candidates for Best Actor this year. In addition to Gene Hackman, the most popular are Dustin Hoffman from "Rain Man" and Tom Hanks from "Grown Up".

Of course Diane hoped that Hanks, who was acting opposite to her, would win the award. She became as nervous as if she was nominated, and hugged Ronald's arm tightly.

Ronald is also guessing that this year's hits are all classic images of Hollywood. Tom Hanks played a child, Dustin Hoffman played a fool, and Gene Hackman played a good guy, the three roles that are most likely to win the actor.

"Winning: Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man."

"Huh...", Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. He would rather let the Rain Man crew win the award than Gene Hackman, a stubborn old man.

The whole audience stood up and applauded him. This year's Best Actor competition was fierce. Except for the three of them, it goes without saying that Von Sydow is a veteran acting school. Another Edward James Olmos, a good and responsible public school teacher in "Being a Teacher", who goes deep into teaching very bad students to make the county score on SAP exams and prerequisite courses first class.

Dustin Hoffman was very polite and hugged all the nominees, and when he got on the stage, he thanked them one by one.

"I thank the academy for their support, Tom Hanks, my good friend Gene Hackman...I thank them for not voting for me...and I didn't vote for them..."

When Ronald heard this cold joke, he turned his head to look at Gene Hackman, and the old man's face was ashen. Back then, he and Dustin Hoffman were young actors in New York, and Hoffman lived with Robert Duvall at his house. The three were close friends back then, but today they have to wonder who can become Spencer Tracy. Cy, Gary Cooper, Marlon Brando and others after the fifth double actor.

"I would also like to thank my agent, Michael Ovitz..."

"Huh?" Ronald looked away all of a sudden, staring closely at Hoffman's lips on the stage.

"I want to thank Ovitz for the glue that put me back on my feet when this movie was bogging down."

"Did I hear wrong?" Ronald looked at Diane beside him.

Diane shook his head, he heard correctly, Hoffman did thank his agent Michael Ovitz.

Now it's not just Ronald, even Gene Hackman over there is shocked. He also looked over in a strange way, and happened to meet Ronald's eyes.

The eyes of the two quickly separated again, and they found another popular actor candidate, Tom Hanks. Hanks' eyes were different from theirs, and he was a little envious in shock.

"Huh...", Ronald let out a long breath, this is breaking the rules!

Since the 1920s in Hollywood, when agents have become an important profession, there has been an unwritten rule that agents can only be behind the scenes and not in front of the scenes.

At that time, the trade unions of various types of work were also in the initial stage, and they attacked each other fiercely. It is common to expose each other's shortcomings in the newspapers, boxing and fighting in life, and even hiring gunmen to shoot each other black. One advantage of this high-intensity game is that it quickly fixed the boundaries of various professions.

As a broker, you can negotiate roles for your clients. You can also covertly put pressure on the producer, and even deceive or oppress your actor client, but you must never show your face and manipulate a project as a producer.

In other words, you must never do this on the bright side.

Michael Ovitz's CAA, with the idea of ​​project packaging from the very beginning, started from the screenwriter and director, and led the blockbuster projects one by one, but you must not brag in the newspaper that you led the project.

It is also not possible to file a project in the name of the producer with the Producers Association. This is the bottom line stipulated by the law, and it is also the boundary of decades of games between various trade unions.

Dustin Hoffman thanked Ovitz so emphatically today, which is tantamount to putting him on the director Barry Levinson. On top of titular producer Peter Guber, as well as production company United Artists, and distribution company MGM.

Moreover, Dustin Hoffman did not make it clear, and it also showed that not only was this project led by Ovitz, but he won an award today, won the best actor statuette, became the fifth double actor, and Ovitz also operated the result of.

"Isn't it fair to treat my working girls equally?" Ronald's anger rose, and he looked around for Ovitz. These agents are very good at hiding themselves and hiding from photography Camera, try not to let yourself appear in the image.

"Over there..." Richard whispered in Ronald's ear from behind, and then pointed to the back row of the "Rain Man" crew. Just behind Dustin's seat, Ovitz happened to be there.

He covered his face with his hands and hunched over to hide from the panning camera. Presumably also found something wrong.

The TV camera didn't catch him, so we had to pan back and focus on Glenn Gross, the most popular actress, and Hoffman's wife and family.

Ronald's eyes didn't move away, he stared at Ovitz firmly.

Ovitz just straightened up, trying to loosen his muscles, and met Ronald at a glance. Seeing Ronald's gaze, his heart skipped a beat. Hoffman may have meant well, but he broke the rules. How can he explain to Ronald now?

There was no way, Ovitz had to turn his head away. He hadn't thought of a speech yet, and he couldn't look at Ronald for too long now.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, there was an even more angry and questioning look from Gene Hackman. Both he and Hoffman were one-time movie star winners, and the two are old friends who have friendship. This time Ovitz actually helped the client to make such a big PR in Hollywood Academy, helping Dustin Hoffman surpass Myself, it's just...

"I don't, I'm not..." Ovitz mouthed a few times in vain. This is troublesome.

Gene Hackman and Alan Parker are also clients of his CAA, and Hackman and Parker are also signed by him personally, but he is not the usual manager in charge.

Maybe there will be conflicts within CAA this time, so I can only suppress it with my strong wrist.

Ovitz had made up his mind, and turned back to Ronald. He also did a lot of public relations for the best director. It doesn't matter if Hackman is an actor, Ronald, as a director, will have a great impact on CAA's business, so he has to find a way to appease him.

"It's all because of Hoffman's sudden attack? I usually don't even take photos. When the major media take photos of me, they will ask to delete them. Isn't this putting me on fire?"

Michael Ovitz was a little annoyed, but he really didn't specifically explain not to thank himself. He also had no choice but to applaud slowly.

He felt another gaze looking at him, looked up and looked back, it was Tom Hanks. Ovitz returned the friendliest smile.

Yes, yes, Gene Hackman doesn't like himself, he can't be a star. Hanks is obviously far ahead of him. This person is not yet a client of CAA. Today, he has a good side to show his strength.

As for Ronald? Ovitz looked over again, Ronald only gave him the back of his head, and Richard from his company was explaining something in Ronald's ear.

"Hey, with such dedicated employees, I'm not afraid of anything. The system of multiple agents designed back then works well, and there will always be loyal employees to fill the loopholes. As long as I come up with eloquent debate skills , and give Ronald a few projects that are expected to win the best director, everything is under control..."

"I'm sorry. Nisita and I only found out about Ovitz's cards today. He usually does these things without telling us. I will join Rick and find him to protest tomorrow. If he doesn't give an explanation , We will threaten to resign and start a business by ourselves.

We understand very well who are our food and clothing parents..."

Although Richard was also shocked by today's events, it was clear that he and Nisita had considered where they would stand if Ronald and CAA's interests were inconsistent.

"Richard, don't be silly. Look at Mr. Tom Hanks, Diane's partner... look at his expression."

Ronald didn't want to show his anger, but instead pointed Tom Hanks at Richard. Hanks didn't know that CAA was already in conflict, but he looked envious. He hoped to have a chance to chat with CAA's Ovitz and see if he could join CAA.

Every actor in Hollywood wants to win the Oscar winner award.
