Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Ronald accompanied Mr. Cultural Counselor back to his seat. Diane took Mr. Counselor's trophy to admire, and sank when he received it.

The small trophy is made of bronze and is very heavy. The trophy is 13.5 inches tall and weighs 8.5 pounds. Wrap this layer of gold foil on the outside to make it glow golden. The nameplate on the pedestal is empty, and the winner is to be returned to the Academy, which will be handed back to the winner after a few weeks of engraving.

"I didn't expect it to be so heavy, and the weight is about the same as a small baby." Diane quickly returned the golden statue to Mr. Counselor, "Ronald, have you lifted it? Will you win a big prize later?"

"Hey, I don't know. The agents say they're promising, but this year's '9-to-5' with Dolly Parton."

Dolly Parton, also nominated for Best Original Song, sat in the row in front of her. She's a country star who's been on the rise since the early seventies, writing her own lyrics, and at least the judges know her, and she's competitive.

Next is the award for the best soundtrack.

The presenter was the famous black tap comedy star, the Nicholas Brothers. The two of them played tricks on their own for three minutes, completely disregarding the nervousness of the nominees below, almost impatient.

Finally, the group of black brothers announced that the award was won by the famous Michael Gore. He happily took the stage to accept the award. When he walked past Ronald, Ronald stood up to congratulate him.

"I need to thank a lot of people for this award. The soundtrack for this film is the result of my collaboration with many other musicians, including my sister Leslie, and Ronald Lee..."

"He's thanking you, Ronald!" Diane slapped Ronald's arm desperately, much happier than when Hutton had just won the award, perhaps because there was no pressure to be on camera.

After that came the Best Editing Award, which went to the female editor of "Raging Bull." After she took the stage, she mainly thanked Scorsese, and Scorsese did all the editing with her.

Sitting next to Ronald, Diane expressed her excitement when she saw the next award for Best Supporting Actress was awarded to Mary Steenburgen, and began hitting Ronald on the arm again. She likes this actress very much.

Host Johnny Carson announced the start of the interspersed theatrical performance. The first is the song and dance of Erin Cara, who mixed the two best original song nominees and sang it.

Producer Da Silva's operation was very successful, Irene sang two songs at the awards ceremony at once, and many backup dancers wore famous costumes to assist.

But Irene was obviously nervous, the two songs didn't connect well, and they were a little out of tune.

Compared with Dolly Parton, another guest performer who performed earlier, she is a country queen who lifts weights lightly, and it is very easy to sing a nine-to-five song.

"Are you nervous, Ronald." Diane noticed that Ronald seemed to be shaking.

"Me? I'm not nervous."

Ronald was actually more excited, and his muscles were shaking with excitement, just like the excitement that he couldn't wait to compete with his opponent when he was waiting for a wrestling match in high school. The next award is the best original song for a movie.

The music for the awards changed, and a burst of classical music sounded. This time, the male guests of the awards did not walk down the stairs, but stood on the stage beforehand.

Of course, he is not very suitable for taking the stairs. A very fat man stood there to welcome the female guest of honor.

"Oh, it's actually Pavarotti." Mr. Cultural Counselor exclaimed, of course he knew the world-famous opera tenor.

Pavarotti's English wasn't very good, so the nominees for Best Original Song were the one who wrote and composed the lyrics, and he announced, "Nine-to-five, Dolly Parton."

"Famous all over the world, composed by Michael Gore,

Ronald Lee wrote the lyrics", the female guest took over the nominee for the two-person collaboration.

"The winner is..." The female guest saw Pavarotti open the envelope and let him announce the winner.

A snare drum sounded...

Pavarotti looked at the list of winners cheerfully, but there were two winners, so he handed the envelope to the female guest again.

"Oh, Ruziano..." The female guest seemed to be blaming Pavarotti for his naughty, embarrassment that he couldn't read his English name, and he covered it up well, "The winner is the famous, Michael Gore, Luo Nader Lee."

"Oh!" Diane exclaimed, and started slapping Ronald's arm again, "You won, you won," and then she clapped vigorously, laughing hahaha.

Instead, Ronald felt a sense of relief, the surrounding colors seemed to have a warm feeling, and the voices of Diane and Coleman seemed so kind, as if the whole world was holding itself tenderly in its arms.

Seeing the camera with a red light swiping over, Ronald stood up and hugged in turn with Mr. and Mrs. Roger Coleman, Mr. Counsellor, and Diane Lane. Then walked down the aisle and waited for Gore, ready to take the stage to accept the award.

Michael Gore also came out. This is his second statuette today. His sister Leslie was not annoyed at all because he didn't win the award, but applauded his brother happily.

The two walked to the stage.

Dolly Parton jumped out and stopped the two from taking the stage. Michael Gore, who was walking in front, was a little embarrassed and tried to pass by. Several attempts were stopped by Dolly with both hands.

Ronald knew that Dolly Parton wasn't just a country diva, but a movie actress, and it was a show for the camera, and it pulled Gore away gently. Then he hugged Dolly with open arms.

Dolly laughed and got out of the way, and the audience laughed.

Pavarotti smiled and handed the trophy to the two. Michael Gore reached out to shake his hand.

Ronald, knowing the Italian temperament, went up and hugged the singer. Clearly satisfied, Pavarotti slapped Ronald hard.

Gore was on stage for the second time today to give his acceptance speech. He had finished saying what he had prepared last time, and now he had to play it live, "Thanks to MGM, they are the originator of Hollywood musicals, thank them for investing in such a musical today.

Thanks to director Alan Parker, hi Alan.

Thanks to the producer..."

When it was Ronald's turn, the female guest was already quietly signaling him to pay attention to the time.

Ronald, knowing that time was short, held the golden figure in both hands and glanced down.

Roger Coleman applauded from his seat. Diane stood up excitedly and waved to himself. Teacher Martin Scorsese is also applauding, his director award has not yet been awarded, and his face is a little nervous.

Next to Scorsese is the location of the famous crew, Erin Kara and several leading actors, screenwriters, producers, one by one.

Then there is director Alan Parker, who doesn't look good to him, and Timothy Hutton, who looks bad in front of him. Ronald couldn't help but think of what Michael Cimino said when he won the Director Award:

"I'm proud to be here, proud of the films we've made, proud to be part of the Hollywood tradition..."

Now it's your turn to be part of the tradition...

Ronald is very happy. Cimino, a fat boy who once joked that he was not suitable for the film major, was ridiculed by the critics for the failure of the new film.

Today just happened to be changed from the year before, and I took the stage to accept the award. Cimino could only watch TV at home.

The background music also started to get a little louder, as if to imply urging.

All these thoughts sounded long, but in fact, it only took two or three seconds. Ronald no longer hesitated, and opened his mouth to express his prepared acceptance speech.

"I started with Michael's composition and he inspired me.

Thanks to Erin Kara for making this song known to the public.

I thank my family Karen, Donna, I love you all.

Finally, I would also like to thank the many dancers during the filming of "Famous in the World" for their dedication to make this song shine in the film.

thank you all. "

"Oh, your acceptance speech is so good... Actors are most afraid of being forgotten." Diane picked up Ronald's trophy again and looked at it again and again. "Karen and Donna must be watching the live stream, they must be very proud of you."

"Yeah, I miss them very much. They must have seen you too. Wouldn't it be surprising that you were sitting with me?"

"Yeah," Di An was a little lost. The manager finally ran away for the male partner he had found and went to find other female partners. Originally, he wanted to go to the awards ceremony together and hold a dance party in the name of the director of the academy. .

Robert Redford is not only a director, but also a star.

There is also Mary Tyler Moore named after himself, starring in the TV series of Changhong.

Donald Sutherland is a veteran Canadian star who starred in her posthumous "Krut" with Jane Fonda.

These "Ordinary People" crew members are the most popular stars in the industry.

Although Diane is less than 16 years old, those people may not have any suitable roles to facilitate public relations. But if you can show your face in front of the stars, maybe there will be some opportunities at some time.

At least it's good to listen to the seniors in the industry and talk about some acting skills.

Diane turned to look at Ronald again, and Hutton hated him so much and didn't know why.

Donna never said that Ronald took the initiative to provoke any enemy. This person has been immersed in writing scripts, going to school, and hoping to make a breakthrough in the film industry.

Forget it, anyway, there are still many opportunities to socialize in the future. But true friends like the Donna brothers and sisters who really care about themselves are rarely made in Hollywood.

Aside from Ronald next to him, only Laura Dern, who made punk movies before, has a similar background to himself and can easily talk to him.

"You can go to the board of directors dance with me after that. My agent was waiting for me there and arranged for me to meet with Steven to talk about the script for a while. I just missed a female partner when I went to the dance." Ronald saw After reading Diane's thoughts, she whispered in her ear.

"Which Steven?"

...

The next two best screenplays were announced. They were famous all over the world and did not get the best original screenplay, and were taken away by "ordinary people". Ronald sighed regretfully.

But this also has a good side, saving Ronald the embarrassment of not being able to take the stage.

Then came the Oscar honors.

Jane Fonda's father, veteran movie star Henry Fonda, came to power, resulting in a trophy from Robert Redford. The audience clearly saw Henry's old state. He never won an Oscar in his life. This honorary award is often a consolation award for such a veteran movie star.

"When I realized that I had been in the film industry for 46 years, I realized that I was a very lucky person...I think this is the festive movement of my career, thank you."

The next best director went to Robert Redford, who just went down.

Best Actor went to "Raging Bull" star Robert De Niro.

Best Actress was Sissy Spacek in "The Miner's Daughter."

Interestingly, the role models played by the two, former middleweight champion Jack LaMotta, and country diva Lolita Lynn, are both on the scene. Share happiness with the actor and actress who plays your own role.

The final prize, Best Picture, went to "Ordinary People".

This made them the biggest winners tonight, out of six, taking the heaviest Best Picture and Best Director.

Ronald stood up, holding the golden statuette, and slowly walked out of the awards show with Diane Lane.

In the outfield of the concert hall, there is also a waiting room where you can watch live TV broadcasts. Many relatives, friends, and agents who do not have admission tickets are waiting here.

Burt was also waiting here, and Diane rushed over and told Burt what was happening inside. Burt nodded and came over to greet Ronald and thank him for taking Diane to the boardroom dinner.

Ronald and his agent, Richard, got into the car together and went to the Beverly Hilton.

Ronald, who was relaxed, took the golden man in his arms and rested in the back seat.

"Hey, what award did 'The Elephant Man' win today?" Ronald suddenly remembered David Lynch's movie, which had 8 nominations, tied with Raging Bull for the most nominations.

"Zero. They got nothing," Richard replied.
