Chapter 250 The second statuette(1/2)
Outside the Holy Citizens Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles.
Valerie Gollino, wearing a black Gucci evening dress, walked out of the concierge car and heard the cheers from both sides of the red carpet, and felt an uncontrollable excitement.
Although she was the youngest film queen at the Venice Film Festival, the biggest role she won in 1986 was probably to help her knock on the door to Hollywood. The "Love Story", which also won the special jury award, left almost no trace in the history of films, and it was even difficult to find because there were too many films of the same name called "Love Story".
Now, everything is different.
Although the two male protagonists of "Rain Man" Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise occupy most of the film's light, as the heroine, she still gained a lot of popularity. What's more, she is the heroine of Simon Westero's new film "Batman" and the actor of Catwoman.
I stepped on the red carpet, because I was so excited, so I walked forward alone.
She knew many big names around her, but not many of them knew her. She didn't have a male companion, and her original boyfriend broke up when she came to Hollywood to develop. Speaking of which, she got the role of Catwoman and went to Melbourne to shoot. She thought she could have something to do with the young genius director, but unfortunately he was not very interested in himself.
No wonder.
How could a man who is jealous of the whole Hollywood be her turn?
Thoughts drifted, until agent Ilian Borman stepped forward to hold her up, and she released that she was almost walking through the media area.
I was told to stop taking pictures.
Not only to increase exposure, but also to promote the clothes on the body, the magazine layout has been arranged in advance.
He quickly retreated and posed.
But I felt relieved myself. It must be the sequelae of the last time I fell.
Um.
This is definitely the case.
Once you find a reason, your mood will become better and your smile will be more natural.
Listening to the group of reporters asking about some details about the filming of "Batman", I wanted to answer a few words, but I could only keep silent. Westeros was already in a state of conscientiousness because of the crew's confidentiality work. If you talk nonsense, you will definitely be scolded to death.
Thinking of this, I inexplicably wanted to say a few words.
certainly.
Just think about it.
After taking the photo, Ilian continued to move forward. He quickly came up to remind him, and there was also an interview with the TV station.
I hate it, I haven't forgotten this time.
When they walked to the live broadcast point and waited for a while, the Bruce Willis, who was originally interviewed, left. The agent gestured to her and quickly picked up the hem of the skirt and stepped onto the interview stand.
A very enthusiastic female anchor compliments each other and chats about her Gucci dress. As usual, she was asked about "Batman". Can you reveal some internal information? No, you will be scolded to death. Oh, is Westeros fierce in the crew?
Oops, I said the wrong thing.
If you think of Ilian behind you, you will be scolded to death by your agent if you decisively turn the blame.
Sorry, man, no one knows who you are anyway. The photographer moved the camera away and swept it behind her.
Well, now someone knows who you are.
After the interview, I stepped down, but I was not scolded, and I was praised for my reaction very quickly.
That's it.
Finally, it was still at the end of the red carpet. It was a bit early and many people did not enter the auditorium. She was also taken to Daenerys Entertainment's small circle. Amy Pascal was chatting with Bruce Willis and his wife. WMA Vice President Jonathan Friedman is also here, as well as Robert De Niro, Kevin Costner, Billy Cristor, Sandra Brock, Madonna and other big names.
After coming here, Ilian did not follow him anymore and walked up to him and whispered to Jonathan Friedman. She was not nervous and took the initiative to chat with Billy Christo.
A very funny guy.
I praised the other party for his favorite "When Harry Meets Sally", so I was given a line in the school exam, yes, apple pie should be put aside and vinaigrette should be put aside.
Unfortunately, I didn't see Meg Ryan.
I heard that she and Daenerys had a breakup.
Pascal socialized everyone, but did not forget her. After chatting for a few words, he was asked about preparations for Westeros’ nomination.
Nomination for Best Soundtrack Award.
It's really interesting, isn't he the director?
I heard that I got a best edit last time.
If you continue to calculate this, the best editing, the best soundtrack, the best audio, the best visual effect, the best script, the best director, the best male lead, the best supporting actor, the best actress... Well, this is a bit difficult.
However, that guy is really a versatile guy.
Hollywood has many awards for many little gold men, but never has anyone crossed so many awards.
It was almost six o'clock and everyone started entering the venue.
The crew of "Rain Man" was divided very much. Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise sat in a very high position with their female companion, director Barry Levinson was also in a very prominent position, Valerie Gollino was placed next to the crew of "Death Poetry Club", and some other nominees for "Rain Man" were scattered everywhere.
All the storms of "Rain Man" before its release have been well known, but fortunately it did not affect the box office.
After the box office and reputation of the film both exploded, all parties began to take credit for themselves, but there was no big conflict on the surface. However, from the main creators' seats at this Oscar ceremony, it is not difficult to see the serious split between the main creators of the film.
Perhaps the hosts such as Chevy Chess in previous sessions were not very good at all, and this Oscar did not have a host.
After the new film school chairman Richard Kahn came on stage to deliver a speech, the opening song and dance were immediately followed.
The first award was awarded the Best Supporting Actress.
Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts, who are closely related to Daenerys Entertainment, both received this nomination. Sandra's nomination film was "Dangerous Relationship". The film company originally intended Michelle Pfeiffer. Because of some of the entanglements between WMA and ICM, Jonathan Friedman used the relationship to steal the role, while Julia relied on the role of Shelby in "Steel Magnolia" to be nominated.
Both women have only debuted for a few years, so it is already very good to be nominated?
The award ended up falling on Gina Davis in "The Unexpected Traveler".
Jane Fonda came on stage after the award for Best Supporting Actress Awards and introduced the best film nominee "Rain Man".
Next is the Best Audio Award.
Amy could have had a very prominent seat in the hall, but she chose to wait for the results in the background with Deutschman, Friedman and others.
The first few awards were not important, and Amy also took the time to contact the preparations for the party at the Hilton Hotel.
It took about half an hour later that Vanessa reminded her that the award for Best Art Direction is soon, one of the eight nominations for "Rain Man".
Amy turned her attention to the live broadcast screen in the background.
On stage, the winner of the Best Animated Short Film is giving a speech on the award.
Seeing this, Amy felt a little regretful. The Pixar Animation Studio, which Simon bought, also applied for the nomination for their "Tin Iron Soldier". Unfortunately, this year's Oscar Daenerys Entertainment was obviously suppressed, and even the nomination for such an inconspicuous best animated short film was not won.
The subsequent best art director, "Rain Man", also missed the award, and the Little Golden Man was taken away by "Dangerous Relationship".
Although I don’t care about the results of this marginal award, the failure of Best Art Director still adds a layer of shadow in Amy’s heart.
After the Best Art Director, "Rain Man" also failed in two other technical awards, Best Photography and Best Editing, which made the haze in Daenerys Entertainment's hearts heavier. Ella Deutschman had already sneaked out and smoked twice.
After all, important nominations are awarded later. However, these technical awards "Rain Man" have not been won, so it is hard to say the results of those important nominations that are more competitive.
If nothing is achieved tonight, Oscars will definitely face strong controversy, but Daenerys Entertainment will also become a laughing stock in the circle.
While waiting anxiously, the three-hour award ceremony passed unknowingly.
The three-person father and son of the Bridges family, Royd Bridges, Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges, took the stage together to introduce the winner of the Best Original Screenplay.
"Rain Man" is one of the five best original script nominations.
Everyone's mood was raised again, but they basically didn't expect much. The entanglement between Daenerys Entertainment and the American Screenwriters Union will not be resolved in the short term.
After introducing five movies, Jeff Bridges took a look at the envelope containing the awards, and then smiled and handed it to his father. Royd Bridges took a look at the award results and deliberately sold a lawsuit before announcing to the microphone: "The winner of the best original script is Barry Morrow, Ronald Bass, and "Rain Man."
Applause rang out.
The two screenwriters of "Rain Man" excitedly stood up from the back of the hall, but did not go straight to the stage, but came to the film director Barry Levinson and the two male protagonists Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise, and hugged and greeted the three of them enthusiastically.
This obviously deliberately arranged ‘plot’ is easy to see through for those who are interested.
The applause continued, but many people in the hall had different expressions. Some people looked clear, some were gloating, and more people looked like watching the fun.
"Rain Man" is a package project of CAA. As we all know, Barry Morrow and Ronald Bass are obviously both CAA customers. After winning the award, they did not go straight to the stage. Instead, they "worked hard" to greet the directors and the two male protagonists sitting in different positions. Their intentions to demonstrate and take credit were obvious.
Sure enough, when he stepped on the stage, the two screenwriters once again publicly thanked Barry Levinson, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise, but did not mention Daenerys Entertainment.
Although it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, many senior executives of this talent agency were guarding a large conference room, and Michael Orwitz did not leave.
Seeing Barry Morrow and Ronald Bass winning awards and everything on the TV screen, many agents cheered and slapped each other to celebrate. Michael Orwitz also smiled and whispered to his assistant David O'Connor, asking him to check out the party preparations for CAA tonight. Like Daenerys Entertainment, CAA also prepared a grand after-event party tonight.
This is a secret battle.
Everyone knows it well.
If CAA cannot maintain the glory of its customers tonight, the talent agency that has rapidly expanded and glorious in recent years will suffer a heavy blow.
The winners of the two screenwriters of "Rain Man" may add some glory to the movie, but more of it is a victory for CAA. As we all know, if only Daenerys Entertainment came out for public relations, the possibility of "Rain Man" getting this award from the American Screenwriters Union is very low.
Now, as long as Barry Levinson and Dustin Hoffman can win the awards they deserve, the CAA will win a big victory tonight.
The awards won by the two screenwriters made Michael Orwitz more confident in this.
After the Best Original Script and Best Adapted Screenplay, all 11 nominations under Daenerys Entertainment have been awarded 5. Julia Roberts' Best Supporting Actress and "Rain Man" have all failed. Only the CAA-led Nomination for Best Original Script was awarded Little Golden Man.
Next, except for Simon himself nominated for the Best Soundtrack, the others are all heavyweight awards such as Best Picture and Best Director, and the order of awarding is also very low.
