Chapter 681 Competition at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony
"Is that so? They paid a big price." Ronald looked at the documents on the table and sighed to Richard.
Richard came to Ronald this time and told him some rumors. Harvey Weinstein’s desire for awards remains unchanged. Not only does he continue to spend money on many union awards and Film Critics Association awards, but he also
The Golden Globes also made a lot of public relations moves.
The Golden Globe Awards are different from other awards. It is not only the judges who need public relations, but also NBC, the broadcaster of the Golden Globe Awards.
There are less than 100 judges for the Golden Globe Awards, and they are all so-called foreign media reporters based in Hollywood. The price to bribe them is much smaller than the PR Oscars.
But the Golden Globe Awards also have its own special characteristics. The organizing committee's income from hosting the Golden Globe Awards every year is very high, which depends entirely on the advertising revenue from selling the awards show to NBC.
Therefore, the broadcaster’s considerations also play a large role in who wins the award and who does not. As for whether the votes of less than a hundred judges are useful, in fact, there have been rumors that there is a shady story, and everyone’s votes may not necessarily
It works.
Miramax's Weinstein is still a new player at the Golden Globe Awards. Their strategy is similar to the one they used before to learn from Ronald's PR Oscar routine, sending videotapes and generous gift vouchers to the judges, and going to their places.
Exclusively for screening special movies.
However, difficulties arose when searching for these judges. About half of the 100 or so judges were nowhere to be found. Either they were no longer based in Hollywood, or there was no one there after calling the office. I tried my best to find them, but they were unable to find them.
More than forty people.
"Hehe...the money is spent in the wrong place.
Richard also smiled. As someone who played this lottery game earlier than Weinstein, Ronald understood the key to the Golden Globe Awards.
This time Harvey Weinstein met Ronald in a year when he was focusing on the Golden Globe Awards, because he was determined to win the Oscar for Best Director for Forrest Gump, so he hoped to win awards along the way and get an Oscar nomination without any controversy.
Be the biggest favorite at that time and prevent others from thinking about competing.
Therefore, just after acquiring several heavyweight local wireless TV networks, Ronald's DDH became a local broadcaster that wireless TV stations like NBC needed to work closely with. Many local Ronald's TV stations provide NBC with local news and
Weather forecast service.
So it's only natural to discuss with NBC the awards for the film portion of the Golden Globe Awards and the stars attending.
The Golden Globe Awards also have television awards, and NBC needs to avoid suspicion and reduce interference in this area. But there is no such concern for film awards. Moreover, the ratings of the awards show are directly proportional to the number of stars and celebrities in attendance.
Therefore, when Ronald promised that all the star cast of Forrest Gump, including Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and Sally Field, would attend. He also used his influence to persuade Judy
Foster, Michelle Pfeiffer, and other popular female stars attended the awards ceremony, and NBC had already sent senior executives to discuss with Ronald the "popular awards" for Forrest Gump.
The final word was Ronald who came to help convince Gregory Peck to attend this year's Golden Globe Awards. Together with Robert Altman, he will present the Dimir Memorial Award for this year's Golden Globe Awards (that is,
Honorary Award of the Golden Globe Awards), served as the award guest, and presented it to Sophia Loren, the Italian goddess who has been Hollywood for decades.
This year Sophia Loren also starred in a Miramax film, The Storm, and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Hollywood and American audiences have not seen this sexy Italian star for a long time. The nomination for Best Supporting Actress was not enough to fly her to attend the award ceremony. Therefore, the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee urged NBC to
Next, I picked up this Dimir Memorial Award which is not awarded every year.
Similarly, this kind of honorary award is an affirmation of an actor's acting career, so you can't just find someone to award the award. Robert Altman, the director of Yunshang Storm, is a good choice, but compared to Sophia Loren
She was such a big star that all the male Hollywood stars were vying to date her, which was not very status quo.
The organizing committee thought of Gregory Peck, the only remaining male star of the Golden Age who had starred in movies with her.
Parker, whose health was not as good as before, was convinced by Ronald that he was the most suitable person to present the award to Sophia Loren, and decided to use a cane to be the guest of honor for his old friend.
…
The award ceremony was still held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, where the price was the most suitable. In the largest banquet hall, there were round tables, and everyone in the crew sat together as much as possible.
Ronald, who had not been to the Golden Globe Awards ceremony for a long time, felt a strange feeling as soon as he and Diane sat down. Ronald, who was a little nervous before attending the Golden Globe Awards, suddenly felt a magical feeling today.
This awards show was really like the banquets I had when I was in Xujiahui.
Everyone dressed up beautifully and sat in a circle around the round table. Familiar people whispered and gossiped, and snacks were placed on the table for everyone to enjoy (although most of the actors did not know how to eat them).
What is most like a Chinese dinner party is that there are a lot of alcoholic beverages on the table, such as champagne, red wine, whiskey, and brandy. Everyone can pour it themselves if they want. Even at the Golden Globe Awards in the past years, there have been celebrities who got drunk on the spot.
, there are situations where people go on stage and talk nonsense.
Because Ronald used his influence to invite big-name female stars like Jodie Foster and Michelle Pfeiffer, there were many female stars who were short of spots and were also trying to find ways to get tickets.
Come in. Tickets for the Golden Globe Awards show are as scarce as the Oscars this year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tonight, Harvey Weinstein also came to the Hilton Hotel. He was in a high mood. Today he has three films nominated for the Golden Globe Awards in the film category.
Awards.
The first one is, of course, Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino was nominated for both Best Director and Best Screenplay, in addition to John Travolta's Best Leading Role and Samuel L. Jackson's Best Supporting Actor nominations.
When the guests arrived, there were quite a lot of female celebrities at this table, and Uma Thurman was sitting next to Quentin.
But some other guest stars in Pulp Fiction, such as Bruce Willis, did not come. This made him still a little unhappy, but for a commercial star like Willis who was backed by the Die Hard series, Harvey didn't care.
place.
The second movie is "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp. This movie received three nominations, which is quite heavyweight. Best comedy film, Depp's best comedy actor, and
Best Supporting Actor for Martin Landau.
The Golden Globe Awards award four awards for Best Actor and Actor in two categories, but there are only two awards for Best Actor and Actor in a Supporting Role, which are not classified. Usually those who win the Best Supporting Actor award have higher gold content.
But Weinstein still chose to sit at the table for the third movie. This is "The Storm" starring Sophia Loren. In addition to showing respect to Sophia Loren, who is 61 years old and still very sexy, another
Perhaps the more important reason is that there are too many stars and supermodels who appear or guest star in this movie.
This movie, which just had a limited release in America during Christmas, was directed by Robert Altman, who is best at group scenes. For Hollywood to allow studios to dare to cast group scenes, Robert Altman may be the necessary condition.
If Man is the director, no one else can.
Therefore, this movie, like Altman's previous movies, has many famous actors. However, even among his directorial works, this movie has many famous actors.
The protagonist is Kim Basinger, and the main supporting roles are Julia Roberts, as well as Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, and other female stars of the golden age.
In addition to these big names playing named characters, the film also features a large number of Hollywood female stars and supermodels making cameos as themselves.
Among the so-called major supermodels, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Carla Bruni, Iman, etc. are all
Impressively present.
Harvey Wayans, with his big belly, kept chatting with them happily, persuading them to make good use of the fame brought by their current supermodels, find ways to make some movies, and maybe win awards, so that they can break new ground.
field.
However, what makes him very unhappy is that these supermodels have little interest in becoming actors. These people have also guest-starred in some movies before, such as the "Street Fighter" movie run by Ronald, and their roles are still famous.
There is a character with a surname...
In fact, these famous models also know that being a graphic model, or walking in a fashion week for haute couture, does not require the same skills as starring in a movie. They do not have much interest, or in other words, much confidence in working in the film industry.
an award.
Compared with the awards that Weinstein used to lure them, these supermodels are more interested in money. How much does it cost to make a movie? Another supermodel who did not come today, Cindy Crawford, was awarded
Another former co-producer of Ronald, Joel Silver, worked tirelessly to persuade her to star in a follow-up instinct film produced by Silver, "Euphoria" for a salary of nearly three million.
Fair Game)”.
After the filming of the movie was completed, it was postponed for several months and will not be released until next year. These supermodels are very jealous. For them, although the title of the protagonist is tempting, the salary is the greatest respect for their fame. If it were not for Cindy
·Crawford is married to Hollywood star Richard Gere and cannot get such a high salary.
It can be said that most of these supermodels’ impressions of Hollywood are wrong. Cindy Crawford did not rely on Richard Gere to get high salaries. They may have seen Bruce Willis’s wife Demi.
·Moore played the role of "Peach Deal" and received an unprecedented salary of 5 million US dollars for a female star. Rumor has it that she took advantage of her husband Bruce Willis.
But one thing they are very clear about is that most supermodels are followers of handsome men. Even if Harvey Weinstein can push some actresses to win awards, his appearance is really not flattering, and the supermodels
He was not very clear about his position and power, and Weinstein was not as rich as the rich people who paid big bucks for them, so he seemed a bit indifferent to him, which made Weinstein secretly angry. What's wrong with these supermodels?
Don’t you know how to praise?
"Ronald, look, Ronald is here...Ronnie! Ronald!"
The supermodels suddenly became excited. They discovered that the handsome guy sitting at the other table was actually Ronald Lee, who had a very good reputation in the supermodel circle. In addition, he was good-looking and richer than Weinstein.
If you can seduce him, wouldn't it be better than Weinstein, a fat man who looks like a pig head?
Thinking of this, the supermodels all said hello to Ronald. Regardless of the fact that his wife Diane Lane was beside him, they began to blow kisses, wave, or stand up to make themselves more easily noticed.
"Are your girls saying hello to you?" Diane teased Ronald with a smile.
"Ah, she is really my girl, hahaha, hello!" Ronald admitted generously. Most of these supermodels have played "Street Fighter" and are members of the female special forces team under the villain Vega.
.
Ronald simply stood up and pulled Diane over to greet the supermodels.
"How about it, is it fun to act in a movie?" Ronald smiled and called Turlington and Carla by their names, and also greeted other supermodels.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, the Street Fighter film for you was still interesting, at least I played a role with a name..." Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangoli
Star was more aggressive and completely ignored Weinstein's face when he came up to flatter Ronald.
"How is Raul?"
Christy Turlington has gotten what the first two wanted, and now she wants to talk to Ronald about their shared past and appear closer to him.
"Raul is doing well. He is recovering well after the surgery. He is still nominated today." After filming Street Fighter, the crew did a physical examination. Raul found a small problem, but fortunately it was within the scope of surgery.
.
What Ronald and Turlington are talking about is Raul Julio, the performer who plays the villain Vega in Street Fighter. Today he also won the best award in this category for his role in the mini-series "Burning Season"
Nominations for Actor.
"Look, isn't it there?" Ronald waved to him and then said hello to the other stars present. Of course, the most conspicuous one here was Sophia Loren. She is still very sexy and charming at the age of sixty-one. Look
Ronald's eyes were sparkling.
"Thank you, Ronald. I heard from Gregory that you persuaded him to come."
"Ms. Sophia Loren..." Ronald quickly stood up, then performed a court ceremony in the movie, and kissed Sophia Loren's hand. "Anyone with a normal mind will treat you as an award.
For a great honor.”
"You must be Diane, I like your love story, Gregory and I also talked about it." Sophia Loren's husband is also an Italian producer Carlo Ponti. For him, Sophia also gave up
With the pursuit of many male stars in Hollywood and a career in Hollywood, he returned to Italy to make movies.
Therefore, I feel very close to a female star-producer couple like Diane Ronald. Although Sophia Loren has a very sexy screen image, she is quite loyal in private.
After Ronald expressed his respect to the big star, he left and returned to his seat. Looking at the look on Diane's face next to him, it seemed that he was quite satisfied with his performance.
"The winner of the Cecil DeMille Memorial Award at the Golden Globe Awards is Ms. Sophia Loren. I can be one of the guests who present the award to her today. I am the one who awards the DeMille Memorial Award to this outstanding woman.
The second most wonderful thing you can think of doing with her."
The guest presenter for the Golden Globe Awards, Robert Altman, was also an old man with messy hair. He told a joke as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the audience silent for a while before smiling knowingly.
Over there, Sophia Loren also showed a shocked expression.
"The first most wonderful thing, definitely, was making a movie with her, like I did last year. I've never seen an actor like her, and she's an extraordinary lady, and it was an extraordinary experience...
…”
Quickly going back to make up for it, not to make the Golden Globe Lifetime Achievement Award too obscene, Robert Altman quickly finished his speech, and then awarded the trophy to Sophia Loren together with Gregory Peck.
