Chapter 1042 The Double Cannon and Three Yellow Eggs of the Golden Globe Awards

The Golden Globes ceremony, just two weeks before the Oscar nominations were announced, was held at the Hilton in Beverly Hills.

If it wasn't for promoting "Working Girl" and fueling the box office, he wouldn't have come to the scene.Sidney Lumet, a well-known director who also received a Golden Globe nomination, did not come.Another Australian director, Fred Shepisi, the director of "Evil Angel" starring Mel Streep, didn't come because he didn't care about such parallel awards.

Apart from Ronald, there are only re-director Clint Eastwood (directed Bird), without any credit, Barry Levinson who directed "Rain Man", and who despises America but also Honor-hungry "Mississippi Burning" director Alan Parker dressed up for the awards dinner.

Ronald invested a lot of resources in public relations, so "Working Girl" took up six nominations without hesitation, and was the film with the most nominations, so their crew was also assigned to a very high round table.

Surrounded by round tables with crews of award-winning blockbuster movies and TV shows.This year's leading actress nominees are all acquaintances of Ronald.

For example, Sigourney Weaver, not only won the nomination for Best Supporting Actress for "Working Girl", but also the nominee for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

The nominees for Best Actress in a Drama Series, as well as Jodie Foster, and Mel Streep, Ronald all went to say hello.

Melanie Griffiths is the Best Actress in a Comedy Series.She came with her reconciled ex-husband, Don Johnson, dressed in expensive evening gowns and diamond necklaces, fully prepared.

This is the first time she has been nominated for a live broadcast award, so it is very important.In contrast, the nominees who don't care much about these nominees, Spielberg's wife, Amy Irwin, wore an ordinary dress, as if going to a restaurant next to her home for dinner.

Another nominee, Jamie Lee Curtis, was also modestly dressed, with only a thin gold necklace.They also really saw the Golden Globes as a dinner party—the Beverly Hilton did provide a variety of food and drinks, including alcoholic beverages.

"Ahem..." Seeing Melanie Griffiths reaching for the champagne again, Ronald cleared his throat quickly as a reminder.Fortunately, the best actress in a comedy category was awarded in the first few categories. It would be ridiculous if she drank too much and talked nonsense.

"Hmm..." Melanie smiled awkwardly, and apologized in her very special baby voice.Her ex-husband Don Johnson tactfully gave her a glass of soda, but of course she couldn't drink too much. Going to the bathroom in this kind of formal dress is a big deal.

……

"The nominees for Best Actress in a Comedy Series are..."

The Golden Globe Awards is a mixed award for film and television, and twice as many trophies are awarded in the same awarding time, so the pace of awarding is very fast.After awarding two TV awards, the first film award is Best Actress in Comedy.

Ronald looked at the two award presenters on the stage, the man was Eric Roberts and the woman was Allie Sheedy.

If it had been two years earlier when the two of them had won various awards and box office acclaim, Ken would have come to the Golden Globes, and it would have been the grand finale.

But the ups and downs of the entertainment industry will always exceed people's expectations.They have already passed away quickly. To be able to come to the Golden Globe this time, it is their agent who asked the Golden Globe Committee.

"Jamie Lee Curtis, a fish called Wanda.

Melanie Griffiths, working girl. "

The camera has already swept across the round table of Ronald, and Melanie Griffiths entered the scene in a second, and immediately put on the image of a very temperamental and well-educated lady, smiling just right.

"And Amy Irving..."

The camera pans to Amy Irwin and her husband Spielberg.Ronald relaxed a little, and finally this time Griffiths forced to go to the rehab center had a good effect. At least for those few seconds, she was still a star of concentration.

But others are terrible.Ronald stared at the two award presenters on the stage.The two of them were clearly distracted, and even reading the list of nominees was a burden to them both.

Elle Sheedy, in particular, had a hardened face, in addition to her characteristic distraction from drug abuse.This actress wasn't pretty enough in the first place. In order to get a better role, she might have made some adjustments.

"Michelle Pfeiffer..."

Pfeiffer didn't come this time, and she was obviously disturbed by the scandal with Malkovich. She has been reclusive for the past six months, and she doesn't show her face if she can.

"Susan Sarandon..."

"The winner of the award is... Melanie Griffiths!"

Ronald heaved a sigh of relief, and the two finally pronounced the winner's name.

The camera immediately panned to Melanie Griffiths and ex-husband Don Johnson embracing and kissing.I can see that this is a heartfelt smile, and this is Melanie Griffith's first important award.

"Don't forget the award speech..." Ronald also congratulated Griffiths, and then made a mouth shape.

"Hehe...the last time I stood here, I was Miss Golden Globe...hahaha..." Melanie Griffiths laughed until tears came out, and she had to gently wipe them off with her hands.

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed wildly, and Ronald also laughed and applauded, finally not forgetting this most important marketing joke.

"I want to thank Jamie, Susan, Amy..." Then, of course, comes the red tape.For Hollywood awards, the winners have to act like I won the award, which is equivalent to the gesture of all five of our nominees winning 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 didn't think of it after standing on stage for a few seconds, so she had to apologize.

"Hahaha..." The acceptance speeches that everyone saw were all carefully prepared. Such a very pure joy is rarely seen, and they gave kind smiles and applause.

"I also want to thank Twentieth Century Fox, Mr. Barry Diller, Mr. Goldberg, the writer Kevin Wade... and most importantly, Ronald Lee, who changed my life ...Finally, uh... uh... I want to thank all the working girls, thank you." Griffiths, who forgot her words, fled, but everyone still applauded her.

"Did I screw up? Alas..." After Melanie Griffith got down, she was dizzy.This has become the Golden Globe Award winner?
"Well said, you are the best..." Ronald smiled and helped her set up the Golden Globe trophy, really weeping 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 the opponent, trying to straighten his back, and couldn't even stand on tiptoe to balance.

Sitting below, Ronald could feel his embarrassment.The awarding committee of the Golden Globes is really very unprofessional.

"Best Supporting Actress goes to ... Sigourney Weaver, Working Girl."

Ronald is very beautiful in his heart. He has won two major awards, so he will definitely be published in many newspapers tomorrow. It will be a shot in the arm for working girls who are still struggling in the cinema.

The box office of this movie is trending, which is very strange in a movie directed by Ronald.The box office in several big cities on the east and west coasts is very strong, and it has not declined at all in the fourth week, especially in New York, where there are still many sold-out situations.

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" almost fell below the break-even line.

The audience there lacked empathy for the workplace stories in big cities, and also lacked some empathy for Tess, a professional woman whose ability is not inferior to that of men.

This is also the reason why Ronald relies on awards to boost the box office. Anyway, the awards are all given out. In order to see the performance of the actress, he has to go to the cinema, otherwise, there will be no talk in the circle of friends.

"It seems that I have to thank the bad girl for winning the award..." Sigourney Weaver was much calmer. She wore a red off-the-shoulder dress and echoed Melanie Griffiths thanks There is a humorous self-mockery about the saying of the working girl.

"It's a blessing for me to be in this movie. He has the best script, the best casting, and a talented director..."

Ronald smiled and clapped at her.

"Thanks to Ronald Lee, who knew so much about women and guided me so precisely..."

Hey... Ronald half-covered his face with his right hand. Even in Hollywood, this is a bit exaggerated.

"I also want to thank Melanie, she is a good opponent...I want to thank Harrison, although he left me...In the end, I want to thank all the little people in place of Catherine, although she can't remember their names..."

Ronald applauded happily this time.The two leading actors in the crew had excellent acceptance speeches, and Sigourney Weaver even brought in Catherine in the end, and tomorrow's newspaper has another topic to write about.Such an actress is really relieved.

The leading actress and supporting actress awards are all in the bag, as for the best picture, best director, etc., it doesn't matter...

The Golden Globe Awards are really fair, they will give you whatever awards you publicize.The subsequent best director, there will be no public relations for Ronald.

It ended up going to Clint Eastwood, who re-directed the film.Although he admitted in his acceptance speech after taking the stage that he did not expect to be awarded to him, Ronald knew that "Birds", a film about black people, would have been nominated even if it hadn't been for Eastwood's desperate public relations efforts.

Alan Parker, the director of "Mississippi Burning," twitched over there, and Ronald felt amused.If you want it so much, don't rely on the praise of some film critics, put down your figure and go to public relations more.

Hollywood will not like "Mississippi is Burning", which grabs some negative events in America that year, and desperately black movies.The local police, with the background of the Ku Klux Klan, deliberately shot and killed black people, and was finally exposed by an FBI detective.

Hey, if this kind of movie wins an award, it’s a ghost. It’s about the same as the awards in Britain. It’s the right way for Hollywood to make some movies that discriminate against black people in Britain.Freckles are the best when they grow on other people's faces.

Best actor in a comedy went to Tom Hanks for "Grown Up" and Dustin Hoffman for "Rain Man" for best actor in a drama.

Ronald looked again at the "Mississippi Burning" crew, Gene Hackman lost to Dustin Hoffman again.Playing this kind of movie that exposes the shady scene in America every day, this fool is still living in the 70s.Today's audiences don't like movies that say bad things about America.

One of the big shifts in audience tastes over the past decade has been the belief that America is the greatest country in the world again.The former general who just left office, the campaign slogan, let's make America great again, no matter what the facts are, it is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.A new generation of young people who have lived through the economic prosperity of the past eight years really cannot hate the government.

The best actress in a drama category was awarded relatively late, and the award presenter was also the heavyweight Michael Douglas, the last best actor winner.

"The nominees are... Jodie Foster, Rabbit Ewha..."

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 McLean..." This one didn't come at all, she also lived out her true self, and she didn't come if she didn't want to. It would be more interesting to study aliens at home.

"Meryl Streep..." This person is better, and he will join 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 be a hype.Putting his index fingers together, Ronald began to pray for a big double cannon.Tomorrow's headlines will be the two actresses of "Working Girl."

"The winner is..." Michael Douglas opened the envelope, his eyebrows raised and his mouth parted, as if the recipient had exceeded all his expectations.

"I can't believe my eyes..." Douglas showed his girlfriend a look. "The winner is, Jodie Foster..."

Jodie Foster began to get excited, and her shoulders relaxed.

"And Shirley Maclean..."

"Hey guy, is it a double-gun again?",
"And Sigourney Weaver..."

"Uh...", Ronald felt something was wrong, wasn't this too "responsible"?How many films are in public relations at the same time, so you just come up with three films side by side?Three yolks belong to yes.

Ronald showed a stylized smile at the camera that swept over him. He faintly felt that he was a little deceived. This kind of three-yolk egg is very controversial.It’s okay if you tie for two, but three tie for best actress.More nominees who have won than have not?

In particular, the Golden Globe Awards already had a scandal of receiving money to do things. This kind of news is not necessarily a good thing for Sigourney Weaver and her own film promotion.

"Hey, it's still Ovitz who knows the inside story..." Ronald remembered Ovitz reminding himself to pay attention to the Golden Globes, which seemed to be aimed at this matter.Good thing there's nothing controversial about Sigourney Weaver's double bang, the one from "Working Girl."
