At the entrance of the Beverly Hills Cinema, two major protest groups were holding flags and shouting unified slogans. Two leaders-looking people were still being interviewed by on-site reporters in front of the crowd.
"What's going on?" Ronald and Diane saw no celebrities at the scene, nor the usual entertainment reporters at premieres. The one who came was the host of the social news column of Channel 8 in Los Angeles.
Looking around, there was no acquaintance nearby. Ronald felt that if he appeared at the scene, he would be forced to express his position by the live news broadcast. He quickly walked back a few steps and summoned his bodyguard Daniel.
The latter quickly stepped forward and opened his arms to protect the two of them from being discovered by photographers. The three of them retreated behind the street corner in embarrassment.
Daniel quickly called little Bud to help Ronald and his wife get into the car.
Only then did Ronald pick up the car phone and call TriStar Pictures' Mike Medavoy, "Basic Instinct" actor Michael Douglas and others.
The two of them took shelter in one place, and Ronald's car then arrived at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel where they were hiding, and went up to a suite, where two men were sitting in frustration.
In addition to them, there is the Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, and a bright actress, Sharon Stone, who was the one who filmed the plagiarized version of "Indiana Jones" for Minahan Golan in the exploitation film.
"What on earth is going on?" Ronald didn't know why.
"Ah, Ronald, you are here. We called your home and told you that you had gone out. We were still worried that you would be photographed by reporters..."
Michael Douglas said upon seeing this, he introduced several people present to Ronald.
It was just a coincidence that after Ronald went out, Douglas and the others called to inform them that there was a large group of people protesting at the scene. Ronald walked slowly, just in time for the two major protest groups to launch.
"It seems that you will have to take a car to go out in the future..." Ronald thought to himself that the lifestyle of ordinary people nowadays is really inconvenient.
There are two major groups protesting, one is a protest against sex discrimination against women, and the other is a minority group protesting against the stigmatization that has caused...popularity.
"What is the content of your movie? Is it so exciting?" The Barbra Streisand incident was a hot topic before, which one is it today? Ronald, Douglas and Medavoy chatted for a while,
Only then did they realize that they didn't particularly understand where they had offended two groups with strong combat capabilities.
"Oh, what about my clothes?" Everyone was about to cancel tonight's premiere. Sharon Stone sat there and became dissatisfied. She had been preparing for today for a long time.
"I will arrange for you to appear in important TV programs in the future..." Douglas and Medavoy had no choice but to promise her. This woman's brain is not very useful. If she also complained like Sean Young, wouldn't she?
It would be bad to show yourself at the premiere.
Ronald was also very curious about this movie that had caused protests before it was released. What story was filmed that made the two groups who were originally at odds unite to protest?
Two days later, Medavoy specially sent a copy so that Ronald could appreciate it.
"Oh, Shxt..."
After Ronald finished watching, he made a sound that every man would make. If the projectionist hadn't been one of his own, he might have been tempted to ask him to go back and replay a few erotic scenes.
Director Paul Verhoeven's level of filming this kind of erotic drama is no worse than Adrian Lyne. I believe many men will buy a copy of the video to take home and collect it after it goes on sale. Maybe their demeanor will not
Much better than George Dzuzza who plays the police detective in the movie.
"This movie really doesn't need marketing or a premiere..." After watching it, Ronald knew that this kind of movie could be a big hit just relying on the reputation of male audiences.
"Oh my god, what if Sharon's future children see this scene of her? I don't do this kind of scene..." Diane, who was watching together, exclaimed. She thought to herself, this kind of scene would be very harmful to the actress.
It's too big. But this outfit seems good. Ronnie looks a little excited. I'll go get one to wear...
…
"My next guest is Sharon Stone, the most talked about female star these days, the heroine of the controversial thriller Basic Instinct! Welcome to the Late Late Show, was this my show you were on last time?"
"Ah, yes, two years ago"
"At that time you were a female star, actress, but now you are a famous female star... everyone is talking about you..."
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
When she appeared on David Letterman's talk show, Sharon Stone didn't have Diane's worries at all. She was in a state of ecstasy. She pretended to compliment Letterman that she had become a big star and that she might be shortlisted for next year.
Oscar's statement seems to be very serious.
"What has changed since Instinct was released? Your sudden fame is like going into space?"
"Yes, on Friday I was just an actress who was doing well and might get a leading role. As soon as I walked out onto the street on Monday, someone shouted my name..."
The box office of "Basic Instinct" was astonishing. In this off-season, the box office reached 15 million in the first weekend without a premiere and almost no marketing...
A few days later at the Academy Awards party, this movie actually became the topic of discussion by most of the guests.
"You know, I was originally chosen to be the leading actor in this movie..." Kevin Costner wore a tuxedo with a red ribbon on the chest, which was knotted and crossed underneath. This is the film
Features of the Oscars.
After accepting the submission signed by Ronald, the organizer Academy officially agreed to give the composer who died due to... the qualification to enter the Best Original Song Award. This has actually determined the winner of this award.
.
As for this red ribbon, it is an accessory worn by all the audiences this year as a sign of prevention and control... I have to say that the academy is quite understanding. Anyway, this time there is an award for an artist who unfortunately passed away.
moment, it is better to simply use it as a theme to reflect Hollywood's forward-looking attitude on various progressive issues.
"Yeah, I heard they also found Richard Gere and Mel Gibson." Ronald also wore a red ribbon, and the two friends chatted in a corner of the awards hall. This time Costner served as the last
The winner should give the award to the best director.
"God, this movie is really... so exciting... did you see the protesting crowd outside?"
The two protest groups finally sat down with the producer Carloco and the distributor TriStar Pictures to discuss a solution. Organizations that opposed female discrimination were easily satisfied. Director Verhoeven personally explained that this is a feminist film,
The heroine is a symbol of dissatisfaction with the idea of women who are obediently housewives in a male-dominated society.
After the distributor and producer donated money to them, the feminist group gave up its protest.
But the minority group is not included. The main reason is that they have no reason to begin with. There are no scenes of minority groups in this movie. The protesters read the original script to protest.
However, the screenwriter Eszterhas (the screenwriter of Flashdance) had already quit the crew because he protested that Verhoeven wanted to delete plots and scenes of female love. After that, Verhoeven deleted all the scenes related to minority groups.
When "Basic Instinct" was released, there was no plot for them to protest against. The film studio had no choice but to explain again and again. However, a few groups did not buy it (maybe the donations did not meet expectations) and insisted on protesting.
TriStar Pictures and Carloco are also popular. If there is no plot in this kind of movie, and you can get money for protesting, then won't there be no peace in the future?
When Ronald heard this kind of thing, he also felt very weird. Where did they get the script before it was revised? Later, Mike Medavoy told him that the protest group admitted that someone had sent the information to
them……
The two sides failed to reach a compromise, so much so that they even went to the Oscars party to protest this time.
Fortunately, Oscar's security work was very good. Ronald and Diane did not encounter any protesters when they walked on the red carpet. Otherwise, Diane had been hungry all morning and had not dared to drink water since last night, so she could successfully enter the Oscars.
That black backless evening gown might be in vain.
"Hey Michael, you look great!"
Both Ronald and Costner greeted Michael Douglas as he walked in. This guy could do box office miracles in an R-rated movie.
"Hahaha..." Douglas laughed and hugged them.
"Do you know? They also asked me to play the heroine..."
In the open space on the other side, Diane is chatting with Demi Moore.
Demi Moore told her that the Instinct crew also approached her at the beginning.
The two of them had a strange look on their faces. They were a little envious of Sharon Stone's current popularity, but also felt a little weird.
This female star's popularity and popularity among the audience has surpassed that of Julia Roberts, who ran away from marriage last year, and has vaguely taken over the title of "the most beautiful female star in the world".
"This is really a good opportunity, but I don't dare to act. What will Little Roger do when he grows up and sees his mother filming this kind of scene?"
"I also want to say that my two children cannot see their mother filming this kind of scene..." Demi Moore made a cross-legged gesture with her fingers.
"Christ Jesus..."
"Sharon doesn't have kids, right? After I had kids, some of the movies I made felt very weird..." Diane said to Demi Moore.
"That's right, I guess she doesn't have children, so she can go out and shoot this kind of scene..." Demi Moore said this, but she actually felt a little regretful in her heart. Anyway, the scale of shooting this kind of scene, if it were her, she would definitely not be like this.
The big one. If she agrees, then she will be the one who is popular...
"Actually, I don't dare to pick it up if I don't have children..."
Another female star joined their discussion, none other than Michelle Pfeiffer.
"Did you get it too?" Demi asked.
"Yeah, my agent said they also asked Julia Roberts and Kathryn Turner, Kim Basinger..."
Pfeiffer was talking about famous female stars who had done passionate scenes. It seems that the director actually asked all the female stars, and when no one accepted them, he settled on Sharon Stone.
"That's right, my neck felt itchy when I saw that scene, and I felt terribly embarrassed..." Diane was still kinder, and held Pfeiffer's hand and started chatting.
"Which institution did you go to for recovery after giving birth?" Michelle Pfeiffer took the opportunity to ask about the secret of postpartum care. She is older than the two of them, so she needs to spend more time after giving birth to recover as before.
"You already have a boyfriend?" Dai Anxin said bluntly.
"I'm going to be artificial... If I don't become a mother, the ship will leave..."
"Oh, Michelle..."
The two used exaggerated tones and began to empathize with Pfeiffer. Without being a mother, a woman seems not to have experienced a complete life...
"Beep, beep, beep..." The theme music sounded, and both Ronald and Diane got away from socializing and found their seats to sit down.
Today Diane was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, so she is the protagonist among the two. Her carefully decorated makeup and hairstyle were carefully protected and not messed up at all when she was talking just now. Diane felt relieved
He put away the small makeup mirror and put it in Ronald's pocket.
Today Ronald is sitting with the Silence of the Lambs cast. Anthony Hopkins is on the back left, Jodie Foster is on the right, and Jonathan Demme is on the past. Diane only has one nomination because of other people's money.
, so I sat nearby with my husband. Tom Hanks and others were sitting on the other side of the aisle.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And the crew of the biggest hit "The World", which has received ten nominations, is sitting diagonally in front of them. Warren Beatty and Annette Bening are the leads, and they are also
A large group.
"Please take a seat, everyone, the live broadcast will begin soon..."
Staff members holding signs paraded around the venue, informing the stars to be ready to welcome the TV broadcast with a smile...
"Three, two, one...start! Unit 1!
The on-site director began to relay the live signal to the line. After a delay of a few seconds, it would appear on the TV sets of viewers around the world. Everyone made an expression of "I am honored to be here today" and applauded to congratulate the 60th
The start of the fourth Academy Awards ceremony.
The chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Technology and Arts opened the ceremony as usual. He talked nonsense for five minutes. It was not until the smiles disappeared from the faces of the audience that the official awards process began.
"Now, welcome to your host tonight, Billy Crystal!"
The lights on the stage dimmed.
"Unit No. 2!" The on-site director arranged for a close-up shot aimed at the auditorium, scanning the faces of the guests in the front row.
Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, who are the leading actors and actresses in tonight's most nominated films, get the benefit of this opening shot
Annette Bening was also wearing an expensive Tiffany evening dress. Under her ears were huge earrings inlaid with diamonds, which were shining brightly. Bening tried her best to maintain her emotions excitedly. Who would have thought that now I
Also enjoying the first close-up!
The camera swept over the faces of the guests one by one. In addition to Ronald, Diane and other major film nominees, it also paid special attention to the eldest actress before, Jessica Tandy. Her body
She wasn't very good, she lost a lot of weight, but she still made the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Out of respect, the last close-up of the opening scene was given to her.
The on-site director moved to the stage again, the lights gradually turned on, and Billy Crystal appeared.
"oh……"
Ronald, all the live guests, and the audience in front of the TV all exclaimed that after Billy Crystal rode on stage last year, he made another big trick this year.
I saw him make a look like Hannibal from "The Silence of the Lambs", wearing a mask, and was pushed into the venue by two men in white.
The audience burst into laughter, and the camera shot to Anthony Hopkins next to Ronald at the right time. He also laughed very happily, and even took out his reading glasses and put them on to watch Billy Crystal's showmanship carefully.
.
Not to mention, Billy Crystal looks a bit like Anthony Hopkins, especially his hairstyle. After putting on the mask, the two really look a bit alike.
Everyone burst out laughing, and Billy Crystal walked off the stage, walked straight to Anthony Hopkins, and shook hands with him...
"I have some statuettes left over for dinner, would you like to join me?"
Billy Crystal asked Anthony Hopkins in a Hannibal-esque voice. Everyone in the audience had seen this part of the movie, either in a movie theater or on videotape, and the laughter was even louder.
Already.
"Of course, I'll be with you anytime..." Anthony Hopkins' accent was still so magnetic and dangerous... and the audience laughed even more happily.
Only Warren Beatty, who was in the front row, felt a little uneasy and muttered: "This doesn't feel right..."
