Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 613 Best and Worst

It wasn't the first time that Ronald and Diane had entered the Oscars together as they crossed the street in front of Dorothy Chandler Hall.

The two looked at each other and smiled. The last time they attended the Oscars together, Ronald also received the best original song. I hope this time will also have good luck.

After entering the lobby, the two sat in the seating areas of the "Cotton Club" and the crew of "Longwei Boy".

Fortunately, the two films did not get too many nominations, and the locations were close. After the two sat down, they were very close and could chat.

"Cotton Club" took two nominations for Best Editing and Best Art Direction. "Longwei Boy" was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

"Francis doesn't seem to be satisfied?" Ronald saw Coppola's unhappy expression.

"He was treated courteously in Hair Country, here..." Di An whispered.

"Did your crew give Morita Noryuki public relations?"

"Weintraub asked Morita to attend a series of association award activities, and I heard that the results were not satisfactory."

The Japanese people are now fighting a trade war with America.The commander-in-chief vowed to make Japan pay the price and respect the rules of the game, especially in terms of intellectual property rights and market opening.

Ronald knew that in the social atmosphere of hating Dongying people for taking away job opportunities, even if this year was the first year that Asians united and made their voices heard through the Chen Guoren case, it would be difficult for Morita Noriyuki to defeat the "killer" The Cambodian Chinese doctor and amateur actor Wu Hanrun.

After all, his experience is very tortuous and tragic, and in a social atmosphere that is conducive to Asians, it is obvious that he is more suitable to accept the award on behalf of Asians.

"Did you see this? It's the hottest ticket in L.A., Hollywood awards shows, people would do anything for that ticket..."

This year's host is finally no longer Johnny Carson.Veteran actor Jack Lemmon took over the host's microphone, and he began to introduce the guest hosts.

Porn star Katherine Turner, and the black movie star Gregory Hines in the Cotton Club were invited to the stage.

The first to be awarded is the Best Supporting Actor Award, and this award is presented at the beginning every year.

Linda Hunt, the best supporting actress last year, is a very short woman. She often plays old-fashioned roles such as teachers, lawyers, and nuns.

"There are nominations, Morita Noriyuki... Long Wei boy..."

Ronald turned back to cheer Morita up.

Morita's hair is still messy, and he kept Miyagi-sensei's full set of styles after Longwei Boy became a hit.

"You are the only one of our crew to be nominated, which is affirmation of your acting skills." Ronald saw Morita Noryuki's disapproving expression, and stepped forward to comfort him.

"Thank you," Morita smiled wryly. Although he has been competing for various awards for several months, it seems that the general trend is the general trend, and the possibility of himself winning the award is about zero.

"The winner is... Slaughtering Field, Wu Hanrun."

"Keep smiling," Weintraub reminded everyone, before baring eight teeth.

The camera of the live broadcast will scan to the area where the nominees who did not win the award are located, and everyone will send out a smile of "I didn't win the award, but I am happier that he won the award".

"Are you going to Las Vegas this year? Or come with me, I have a plane." Weintraub found Ronald at the party after the awards show and said to him.

"I was going to go, Tom Cruise and I were going, and Paramount was going to sell the film."

"Then we'll see you then." Weintraub was going to Las Vegas to sell his "Dragon Boy Sequel" which will be released next year at the movie order conference in Las Vegas, and he took Ronald with him.

And Ronald's task at Paramount is even heavier. "Top Gun" is not a sequel like "Dragon Boy". If you want to fight for a better filming and release schedule, it depends on how he and Cruise are in the cinema. In front of the buyers, show the charm of the movie.

"At the exhibition in Las Vegas, we want to show some clips. What kind of scenes do you think should be cut?"

The next day, Don Simpson came over and asked Ronald that at the annual film exhibition, every booth, such as Top Gun, which had already started filming, had to edit some highlights of the movie to show.As for Longwei Boy 2, which is still in preparation, there are only some posters.

"Still the McGillis-Cruise romance, with some beach volleyball."

"Without air combat and aircraft carrier?"

"That part has not been carefully edited, and there is no shocking effect." Ronald has been late in editing since CEO Mancuso targeted him.

"There are no planes and aircraft carriers at all, and it's hard for theater buyers to be convinced." Bruckheimer came over to remind.

"Then let's add a shot of a fighter jet taking off." Ronald had an idea in mind, and put as little as he could.

"During the few days I went to Las Vegas, I still let them do model experiments on the ground. As for the real shooting of the sky, why don't you wait until I come back?" Ronald looked at the two producers. Time to go to the Las Vegas show.

"Don't worry, we hired the second group of directors to take charge of some subjective perspective shots. He found the most powerful and experienced stunt pilot in America, so you can concentrate on helping sell the film." Don Simpson laughed.

Ronald came home from a trip to Las Vegas to work as a salesman, and he always had trouble falling asleep during filming.

"Dangdangdang..." There was an urgent knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Ronald thought to himself that it wasn't little Bud's knock on the door, it must be someone he knew, and he didn't stop him.Quickly put on pajamas and got up to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Diane, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, rushed into the house with red eyes, hugged Ronald and started crying.

"Woooooo... Brother Ronnie, I'm done."

"What's wrong?" Ronald was taken aback, let Diane sit down and said slowly, what happened?
"They, they, gave me a nomination for Worst Supporting Actress for Razzie."

"Oh, I thought something serious happened to you, just ignore them." Ronald gave Diane a cup of black tea and comforted her.

"Brother Ronnie, since I debuted, the media has always praised my acting skills, huh..." Diane cried with snot and tears.

"In my first movie 'Love on the Sunset Bridge', Sir Laurence Oliver praised me for my good acting skills. In the later films, even if the box office was not good, the critics also praised my acting skills. This time... This time... they actually gave me two worst supporting actress nominations."

"This...?" Ronald picked up the newspaper in Diane's hand, and when the Oscars were presented, this new funny bonus, sour plums, also began to present awards.

Diane Lane was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress at the same time for her performances in "The Streets of Rage" and "The Cotton Club".

"They're all messing around. Aren't you the heroine in these two movies?" Ronald discovered the blind spot.

"Huh? Really?" Diane stopped crying, but was still sobbing.

"Also, you didn't win an award in the end, and you will be forgotten soon." The last winner of the worst supporting actress was an actress named Holly Johnson.

"Will the media really forget?" Diane stopped even sobbing, raised her head and asked Ronald.

"Sure, who remembers this kind of random nomination award? As long as it doesn't work."

"Oh……"

Ronald took the list of nominations and awards and glanced at the nominations for worst supporting actress.

He was right, this kind of Golden Raspberry Award, it is impossible to list characters with really poor acting skills, because poor movies don't even have a chance to be released.Many nominations are for the purpose of gaining exposure, deliberately putting the names of some famous actors on the list.

"Look, even the last Oscar winner, Shirley Maclean, was nominated for the worst actress by them. How could it be that Maclean's acting skills suddenly changed from the best to the worst in a few months? , just to please the public, you don't care at all."

"Well...but they gave me two nominations..."

"Don't worry, the audition opportunity promised by Lucas is waiting for you. Don't worry that he will give up on you because of this kind of funny award."

Diane's father, Bert, is an acting coach. She has always been proud of her acting skills, and is valued by the great director Coppola.

This time, it was a blow to her confidence in her acting skills.

After finally persuading Diane, Ronald carefully looked at the list of winners.

The biggest winner of this year's Golden Raspberry is Ronald's old partner, Minahan Golan of Cannon Pictures.

His peerless bad film, imitating the blockbuster "Perfect", invited the same heroine Bo Derek's blockbuster "Bolero", won the worst film, worst director, worst actress, worst screenplay, and five "Grand Awards" for worst soundtrack.

There is also Stallone, who is also unlucky to "won" the worst actor.

This golden raspberry has really become more and more popular. With the topic of Oscars, it also got sponsors to pay for the awards ceremony.

"Huh?" Ronald's eyes saw Best Supporting Actor, why is it Brooke Shields?
Why is Brooke Shields a supporting actor?
"Because she played Dale in 'Sahara' and wore a funny fake beard." The newspaper said the reason for the award.

I don't know if she will be sad.

……

"Ronald, I'm fine. They put me in the nomination last time. I don't care. Anyway, I'm out of the entertainment industry now. I only focus on the most important things. I must get a degree from Princeton."

"You say that, it seems that you have left the entertainment industry."

"Well, now I only care about my professional courses. This time I went to Europe, I also met Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo. They all praised my French."

"I'm happy for you, and you will be able to get what you want."

"Well, let's talk again after I finish my exams."

Ronald hung up the call to Brooke Shields, she didn't care about the entertainment industry's comments at all.When I went to Hair Country to meet two big stars, what I remember most was that they praised her French.

It seems that Diane, who still wants to continue to break into Hollywood with acting skills, pays more attention to these things.
