Chapter 182 The Double Cannon and the Three-Yolked Egg at the Golden Globe Awards
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 the purpose of promoting "Working Girl" and adding fuel to the box office, he wouldn't have come. The famous and successful director Sidney Lumet, who was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award, did not come.
.Another Australian director, Fred Schepisi, the director of "Evil Angel" starring Mel Streep, didn't come because he didn't care about such parallel-imported awards.
In addition to Ronald, there are only Clint Eastwood who re-directed the film (directed Birds) and has no honors, Barry Levinson who directed "Rain Man", and America who looks down on America but
Alan Parker, the director of "Mississippi Burning" who was eager for honors, 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. Therefore, their crew was also assigned to a very front round table.
Surrounded by a round table composed of the crews of award-winning popular movies and TV series. This year's leading actress nominees are all Ronald's acquaintances.
For example, Sigourney Weaver not only received a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for "Working Girl", she was also nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series.
The nominees for Best Actress in a Drama Series, Jodie Foster, Mel Streep, and Ronald all went to say hello.
The best actress in the comedy category is Melanie Griffith. She came with her ex-husband, Don Johnson, who had reconciled, and she was fully prepared in an expensive evening dress and a diamond necklace.
.
This is the first time she has been nominated for a live broadcast award, so she takes it very seriously. In contrast, Spielberg’s wife Amy Irving, a nominee who doesn’t care much about these things, just wore an ordinary dress, as if
It's like going to a restaurant next to your home to eat.
Another nominee, Jamie Lee Curtis, also dressed very simply, with only a thin gold necklace. They really looked at the Golden Globe Awards as a dinner party - Beverly Hilton did
A variety of food and drinks are provided, including alcoholic beverages.
"Ahem..." Seeing Melanie Griffith's hand reaching for the champagne again, Ronald quickly cleared his throat as a reminder. Fortunately, the Best Actress in a Comedy category was awarded in the first few awards.
, this 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 glass of soda, but of course she couldn't drink too much. This kind of formal dress was going to be worn.
The bathroom is a big deal.
…
"Nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series is..."
The Golden Globe Awards are a mixed award for film and television categories. During the same award time, twice as many trophies are awarded, so the pace of awarding is very fast. After the two television awards were awarded, the first film award was
It's Best Actress in a Comedy Series.
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 reviews, 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 been out of fashion very quickly. To be able to come to the Golden Globe Awards this time, their managers asked for help from the Golden Globe Awards Committee.
"Jamie Lee Curtis, A Fish Called Wanda.
Melanie Griffiths, Working Girl.”
The camera has already swept across Ronald's round table. Melanie Griffiths entered the scene in one second and immediately assumed the image of a very elegant and well-educated lady, smiling just right.
"And Amy Irving..."
The camera turned to Amy Irving and her husband Spielberg. Ronald relaxed a little. Finally, forcing Griffith to go to the withdrawal center had a good effect this time. At least for those few seconds, she
He is also a star who is focused.
But others were in dire straits. Ronald stared at the two award presenters on the stage. The two men were clearly distracted. Even reading the list of nominees was a burden to them.
Especially Ally Sheedy, in addition to the unique lack of concentration caused by drug abuse, her face has also become stiff. This actress is not beautiful enough in the first place. In order to get better roles, she might not be able to do it.
some adjustments.
"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 long breath and finally read out the name of the winner.
The camera immediately panned over, and Melanie Griffith and her ex-husband Don Johnson were hugging and kissing. It was obvious that this was a smile from the heart. This was Melanie Griffith's first important moment.
Awards.
"Don't forget the winning words..." Ronald also congratulated Griffiths and then made a mouth gesture.
"Haha... last time I stood here, I was still Miss Golden Globe... Hahaha..." Melanie Griffith laughed so hard that tears came out and she had to wipe them away gently with her hands.
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter, and Ronald also laughed and clapped, finally not forgetting this most important piece of marketing.
"I want to thank Jamie, Susan, Amy..." Of course, the next step is the 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 nominees have won the award.
.
"Uh... uh..." Melanie Griffiths 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.

smiles and applause.
"I would also like to thank 20th Century Fox, Mr. Barry Diller, and Mr. Goldberg, thank screenwriter Kevin Wade...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 his words, but everyone still applauded and praised her.
"Did I screw up? Alas..." Melanie Griffiths felt dizzy after coming down. Has she become 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 who announced the Best Supporting Actress were singer Phil Collins and actress Shirley Long. Collins was a head shorter than each other. He tried hard to straighten his back and even stood on tiptoes, but he couldn't balance.
Ronald was sitting below and 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 is very beautiful in his heart. He has won two major awards. This will definitely be in a lot of newspapers tomorrow. It will be a shot in the arm for working girls who are still struggling in the cinema.
The trend of the box office of this movie is very strange among the movies directed by Ronald. The box office of several big 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 also many cases where the seats are full.
However, in the vast inland areas, the attendance rate in small towns is relatively poor, and the two films "Rain Man" and "Dragon Brothers and Mouse Brothers" have almost fallen below the break-even line.
The audience there lacks empathy for workplace stories in big cities, and also lacks some empathy for career 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, so in order to see the actress's performance, 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 much calmer. She wore a red off-shoulder dress and echoed Melanie Griffith's gratitude.
The working girl's statement was humorous and self-deprecating.
"It's a blessing for me to be able to participate in this movie. He has the best script, the best casting, and a talented director..."
Ronald smiled at her and clapped.
"Thank you to Ronald Lee. He knows so much about women and his guidance to me is so precise..."
Hi... Ronald half-covered his face with his right hand. Even in Hollywood, these words are a bit exaggerated.
"I also want to thank Melanie, she is a good opponent...I want to thank Harrison, even though he left me...Finally, I want to thank all the little people on behalf of Catherine, although she can't remember their names..."
Ronald applauded very happily this time. The two leading actors in the crew gave excellent acceptance speeches. Sigourney Weaver even brought in Catherine in the end. Tomorrow's newspaper will have another topic to write about. Such a woman
The actors are 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 award you want to publicize. The subsequent Best Director award will not be due to Ronald, who is deliberately publicizing it.
In the end, it was given to Clint Eastwood, who re-directed the movie. Although he admitted in his acceptance speech after taking the stage that he did not expect the award to be awarded to him, Ronald knew that "Birds", a film about black stories, would be
If it weren't for Eastwood's desperate public relations efforts, even the nomination would be difficult.
Over there, "Mississippi Burning" director Alan Parker's face twitched, and Ronald was amused. If you really want it, don't rely on the praise of some film critics, put down your self and do more public relations.
Hollywood won't like "Mississippi Burning", a movie that focuses on some negative events in America that year and desperately tries to make it darker. The local police had a background in the Ku Klux Klan and deliberately shot and killed black people. In the end, an FBI detective exposed the truth.
Hey, it’s crazy that this kind of movie can win awards. It’s almost as good as your British awards. It’s the right way for Hollywood to make some British movies that discriminate against black people. It’s best if freckles grow on other people’s faces.
The Best Actor in a Comedy category went to Tom Hanks in "Grown Up", and the Best Actor in a Drama Series went to Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man."
Ronald looked at the crew of "Mississippi Burning" again. Gene Huckman lost to Dustin Hoffman again. Acting in movies like this that expose the shady story of America every day, this fool is still alive in his seventies.
Era. Today's audiences no longer like movies that speak ill of America.
In the past ten years, a major change in the taste of the audience is that they have begun to believe that America is the greatest country in the world. The former commander-in-chief who just stepped down said in his campaign slogan, "Let us make America great again, no matter what the facts are."
, it is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The new generation of young people have experienced the economic prosperity of the past eight years, and they really cannot hate the government.
The Best Actress in a Drama Series was awarded relatively late, and the awarding guest was also the heavyweight Michael Douglas, the previous Best Actor winner.
"The nominees include...Jodie Foster, Robbery Pear Blossom..."
Ronald looked over and saw that Jodie Foster was similar to Melanie Griffiths. This award was very important to her career, and 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.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Meryl Streep..." This person is better, and he will support him whenever he is invited.
"Sigourney Weaver...the gorilla in the mist."
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 to pray for a big double bang. Tomorrow's newspaper headlines
Both are two actresses who are "working girls".
"The winner is..." Michael Douglas opened the envelope, his eyebrows raised and his mouth opened, as if the winner had exceeded all his expectations.
"I don't believe my eyes..." Douglas showed it to 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-shot cannon?",
"And Sigourney Weaver..."
"Um..." Ronald felt something was wrong. Isn't this too "responsible"? Several movies are doing publicity at the same time, so you just have three movies tied together? That's right.
Ronald gave 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. If you tie two, forget it. Three are tied for the best.
Actress. Winners are more than nominees who didn’t win?
In particular, the Golden Globe Awards has 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. It seemed that he was targeting this matter. Fortunately, Sigourney Weaver's double-shot cannon
