Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The Golden Globe Awards do not have a host. The award presenters know the order and go on stage by themselves, and they also write their own words. Some guests who drank too much champagne went crazy on and off the stage, and only the stars could cover it up.

Therefore, the Golden Globe Awards has a position that other award ceremonies do not have, the Miss Golden Globe Awards. Her main task is to remind guests and winners to go on stage, and also to drag people off when guests speak overtime or make a fool of themselves when drunk.

This role does not require acting skills, and its function is similar to that of a guide, so anyone can do it. There is also a lot of camera time to take care of, which is usually a shortcut for second-generation stars to enter the industry.

However, this year's Miss Golden Globe Awards is not a second-generation star, but 27-year-old Rosanne Caton, a black model, which is also in response to complaints that no black movie stars have won awards during the awards season in the past two years.

The Golden Globe Awards are a grand prize awarded for TV series and movies. However, the current trend in Hollywood is that movie stars are of a higher level, so the TV series awards are awarded first. The "General" led by CAA is the big winner.

This TV series tells the story of a Westerner named John Blackthorne, who traveled to Japan on a merchant ship and was blown ashore by a storm. Then, with the help of his translator, Mrs. Mariko, he helped the Kanto warlord Toranogi win the Battle of Sekigahara and unify Japan.

Ronald guessed that Toranogi was the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu. Yoko Shimada, who played Mrs. Mariko, won the Best TV Actress award and wore a traditional kimono to receive the award.

The leading actor Richard Chamberlain also won the Best TV Actor award, and only Toshiro Mifune, who played the general, did not win. Ronald has seen some of Kurosawa's movies, and Mifune is the protagonist. Perhaps because they were not nominated, the Japanese movie stars did not come to the scene.

Ovitz, the president of CAA, planned the entire TV series, but Ronald looked around carefully and could not find him. He still adhered to the traditional habit of agents not to steal the limelight from their clients and did not come to the scene.

The next award was for the movie. Soon it was the turn of the best soundtrack.

"The nominees are Stuntman..., American Gigolo..., John Williams of The Empire Strikes Back, Fame, Michael Gore..."

"The winner of Best Original Score is Stuntman-Dominique Frontier..."

Ronald comforted Michael Gore beside him. Gore smiled awkwardly. He thought John Williams was his biggest rival, but he didn't expect to be robbed by "Stuntman".

After a few small awards, it was the Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical in a Motion Picture category.

This is also the award that Irene Cara was nominated for.

"The nominees are Coal Miner's Daughter-Sissy Spacek, Stubborn Girls-Goldie Hawn, 9 to 5-Dolly Parton, Fame-Irene Cara..."

"The winner of Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical is...Sissy Spacek, Coal Miner's Daughter."

Ronald clearly saw the fire in Irene Cara's eyes flash and then go out. Today, both Goldie Hawn and Dolly Parton were not here, and the award was actually between Sissy Spacek and her. Producer Da Silva reminded her, "Smile, Irene, smile."

Sissy Spacek went on stage to receive the award. This southern girl who made her debut with "Carrie" transformed from a horror film to a biopic, playing the famous southern country singer Loretta Lynn.

Ronald noticed that there were not many camera positions for the Golden Globe Awards broadcast, unlike the Oscars, which could capture the reactions of each nominated actor before the awards ceremony. The cameras on the stage only scanned the audience, and Irene Cara might not get a chance to appear alone, so there was no need to smile.

Then there was the Best Original Song, the award nominated by Ronald.

"The nominees for the Best Original Song of a Motion Picture are Dolly Parton from 9 to 5, Michael Gore from Fame, Ronald Lee..."

Ronald couldn't help but sit up straight. He always felt that the Golden Globe Awards were not worth much, and lyric writing was not his professional direction, but when the time came, he still hoped to win the award and was a little nervous.

"The winner is... the theme song of Fame, composed by Michael Gore and written by Ronald Lee."

"Please mention Irene." Producer Da Silva stood up and hugged Ronald and Gore, whispering in their ears.

Ronald nodded in agreement and went to the podium with Michael Gore.

"Ah, it's two young people, when I first started..." The male presenter, who had obviously drunk too much champagne, was pulled off the stage by Miss Golden Globe and the sober female guest before he finished his sentence, leaving the stage to the two winners.

Michael Gore spoke first:

"First of all, I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, who selected the winners of the Golden Globe Awards on behalf of foreign journalists. Then I want to thank my partner Ronald, whose lyrics inspired me.

Then there is Irene Cara, who sang the song. It was her interpretation of the song that made it a household name. There is also producer Da Silva and director Alan Parker, who made the movie very beautiful. Finally, I want to thank my family, especially my sister Leslie, for their support."

Gore handed the microphone to Ronald.

Gore had finished saying all the good things, and Ronald took out his prepared speech, which roughly repeated Gore's. However, Ronald had anticipated this situation, so he calmly said the people he was thanking in reverse order.

"First of all I want to thank my family for their support... then to Erin Kara, whose vocals make this song even better... and then to the composer, Michael Gore, who inspired me after hearing part of the melody …Finally, I would like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association…”

The audience applauded. Ronald discovered that when the two were saying their acceptance speeches, the cameras on the stage were facing the audience. It seemed that both of them mentioned Irene Kara's name, and NBC would give her a separate shot.

The task was successfully completed.

The Golden Globe trophy is a small golden ball surrounded by film. After the award ceremony, I had a gold-plated award certificate with Ronald's name on it. It was also a good decoration at home.

After sitting back at the round table, Gore handed the trophy to Erin Kara, who was eager to try. The little girl took the trophy in her hand and touched it a few times, then put it back on the table as if she was afraid of fingerprints on the trophy. It was obvious that Erin really wanted to win the award.

The blazing eyes were not only from Erin Kara. Ronald discovered that Demi Moore and the Israeli brothers were also staring at the trophy on the table. Although it was a small trophy not much bigger than the palm of their hand, there were few people in the entertainment industry who did not love it. of.

Best Newcomer is awarded next. Best New Actress went to Natasha Kinski. Kinski, wearing a yellow dress, jumped up to the front desk briskly, received the Golden Globe Award and began to deliver her acceptance speech.

"She will soon be starring in Coppola's film 'Old Love'. So I won't mention Polanski." Demi Moore said softly in Ronald's ear with a hoarse voice.

No wonder, in Natasha Kinski’s acceptance speech, she only thanked the director of Tess without mentioning her name.

Best New Actor went to Timothy Hutton.

Ronald's face turned serious.

Baby-faced Hutton came on stage to accept the award. Ronald was not interested in listening to what he had to say, so he picked up the champagne and drank it down.

Demi Moore got him another glass of champagne, handed it to Ronald, and replaced his empty glass. She saw Ronald's displeased expression when he saw Hutton, but there was always natural hostility between young men, so Demi decided to take another look.

Best Director – Ordinary Man Robert Redford

Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama) – Mary Tyler Moore

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture – Everyman Timothy Hutton.

"Ordinary People" dominated the Golden Globe Awards, and Timothy Hutton won another one.

Demi Moore is now sure that Ronald did have a conflict with Timothy Hutton. Seeing him go on stage to receive the award for the second time, although he tried his best to hide it with a smile, he still showed deep disgust in his actions. .

The more than three-hour awards show ended. Ronald and Michael Gore took the Golden Globe trophy and went backstage to receive the award certificate.

Demi Moore took his arm and followed closely. The staff was preparing to engrave on the gold-plated copper plate of the certificate. Ronald's certificate was finished first, and he and Demi went to the lobby to wait first.

At this time, media reporters were in the hall asking celebrities to pick up the Golden Globe Awards and take photos. The Golden Globe Awards rely entirely on stars to support their appearance. In order to have more stars to accept the award, they even set up two categories for Best Actor and Actor, Drama and Musical/Comedy.

However, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, which are generally not considered star awards, are combined into one category.

Ronald knew that his award was mediocre and there were no reporters to interview and take photos, so he took the initiative to stand aside and wait.

Unexpectedly, the reporter still rushed towards the direction where he was standing, "Natalie! Bob, here, give us a smile? Take a photo of the two of them."

"It's Natalie Wood and her husband Robert Wagner," Demi Moore whispered next to Ronald.

Ronald also recognized it. The couple walking behind him were both famous stars. Natalie Wood was born as a child star and later starred in many blockbuster films. She looks somewhat similar to Diane Lane. Her husband, Wagner, has an upright face and has played leading roles in many TV series.

Ronald quickly took another half step back, while Demi Moore always wanted to go up and show her face.

"Natalie, take a Golden Globe trophy and strike that pose again," the reporter asked her couple again.

"Sorry, I can borrow it..." Natalie Wood looked back a few times and smiled at Ronald, "Reporters always like to make fun of me."

She once won the Golden Globe Award for Best New Actress for "Rebel Without a Cause", and the photo of her holding the Golden Globe Award has been reprinted by countless newspapers and magazines.

"Of course." Ronald smiled and handed over his Golden Globe Award.

Natalie Wood became the center of attention, posing in various poses holding Ronald's Golden Globe Award. Ronald saw that her husband, Robert Wagner, was a little left out, so she went up to talk to him.

"I loved your TV series 'Pearl Harbor' and I didn't expect to see you here."

"Oh, do you want an autograph?" Wagner didn't think carefully and regarded Ronald as an ordinary fan.

Ronald was wearing a formal dress today and didn't bring the pen and paper he usually kept with him. He felt a little regretful when he rashly approached him to chat with her.

"Here, please sign here." Demi Moore cleverly took out a notebook and pen from her old handbag and asked Wagner to sign. "

"Timothy, Timothy, can you and Natalie take a photo with the golden ball?" The reporter saw Timothy Hutton coming out of the hall again and called for them to take a photo.

Natalie Wood, who returned the Golden Globe to Ronald, raised her empty hand to indicate that she no longer had a trophy.

"It's okay, I have two." Timothy Hutton handed over a trophy, then hugged Natalie Wood, and the two posed for reporters to take pictures.

"Goodbye, boy." Natalie returned the trophy and hugged her husband's arm, "Let's go, Bob." Then she nodded to Ronald to express her gratitude.

"Oh... Bob, he's still a boy..." Natalie's silver bell-like laughter came from a distance.

"Natasha! Miss Kinski!" Reporters found Natasha Kinski appeared in the lobby again, and they urged the winners of the Best New Actor and Actress to take photos with the Golden Globe.

Timothy Hutton and Natasha Kinski posed for reporters to take pictures again.

Ronald was unhappy, and Hutton put pressure on him to lose his job as a screenwriter for the sequel to Grease. So he turned to Demi, "I'm leaving, are you and Natasha going together?"

"Hi, isn't this Ronald?" Timothy pretended to have just discovered the two's presence, "Do you want to call the reporters back and take a photo together?"

Ronald knew that Timothy Hutton was using the reporters' attention to protest against him, so he snorted, ignored him, and was about to leave.

Timothy was delighted and mouthed to Ronald, "Who's your daddy?"

Ronald was about to fight back when Natasha Kinski found Demi Moore, "Demi, you're here, I was just looking for you."

Demi Moore hugged Ronald's arm a little tighter, "Ronald and I are together, Natasha, remember?"

"Of course, Ronald." Natasha Kinski happily hugged him and kissed him. The audition photos Ronald took for him were very good. Coppola saw the photos first, and then went to the cinema to watch "Tess". Seeing Kinski's acting skills trained by Polanski, he decided to use her as the second female lead in the new film.

Now it was Timothy Hutton's turn to be upset.

"Natasha, we're going to the party soon. Didn't you say you wanted to meet director Robert Redford? And your girlfriend, let's go together. There are a lot of people in the film and television industry there to meet."

"Yeah, party!" Many handsome men and beautiful women came after Hutton, all of whom had agreed to attend the celebration party of the "Ordinary People" crew.

Natasha didn't understand why, and didn't know about the conflict between Ronald and Hutton, "Okay, Demi, you come with me?"

The situation came to the point where Demi Moore had to make a choice. On one side was Ronald, a lyricist and screenwriter who knew some small-scale producers.

On the other side was Timothy Hutton, a popular star idol, who had the opportunity to meet more people in the film and television industry at that party.

Demi Moore glanced at Natasha Kinski and the men and women around Timothy Hutton, and made a decision in her heart.

"No, I have an appointment with Ronald... you guys have fun."
