I’m in Hollywood
Chapter 1110 1 person 1 band
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the award ceremony officially began.
This year's host is still Billy Crystal.
However, it may be that there are too few highlights in this year's nominated films. Billy Crystal pretended to be on the stage with a DV, claiming that he planned to make an ultra-low-cost film with zero budget, and the DV was in his hand. The invoice has not been lost, and it can be returned directly after the shooting is completed.
This situation is naturally a ridicule of Blair Witch, which is creating a box office miracle. Laughing Fruit is really good.
However, the awards ceremony that followed was really lackluster.
Under the strong public relations offensive of the Weinstein brothers, Horse Whisperer, which was already full of controversy in the nomination stage, won many important awards such as best picture and best director. Eric believes that in the next period of time, there will definitely be a wave of discussions in the media questioning the fairness of the Olympic Awards. At the same time, the academy woke up, and Miramax's life in the next few years would not be easy.
As for Elizabeth on Firefly's side, the result was even more unexpected. Although it received a number of major nominations, it ended up with nothing.
Eric originally thought that Cate Blanchett might have a chance to win the Oscar for best actress at the first nomination, but he still underestimated the conservativeness of the Olympic judges. This time the best actress finally fell on the British veteran actress Judy Danzi.
Just after the ceremony, Eric was stopped by Louis Horwitz, the director of the awards ceremony, and the other party took him to see the hostess named Laura Spencer on the red carpet.
Robert Iger also called from New York.
There was something to do here, so Eric sent Nicole to the Vanity Fair party at the Hilton Hotel first. He answered Robert Iger's phone backstage at the awards ceremony, and took a resume from Louis Horwitz. The file, glanced at the content, and glanced at Louis Horwitz and Laura Spencer.
I just mentioned one sentence and sent this girl's resume over. What is this going to do to prove that this woman is over 18 years old?
Noticing Eric's eyes, Louis Horwitz felt a little bitter in his heart.
Before the awards ceremony was over, Louis Horwitz received a call from a colleague at the abc headquarters in New York. The audience rating of this Oscar live broadcast was a little appalling. The minimum audience number even dropped to 37 million, and the average audience is probably not enough. exceeded 40 million.
As one of abc's well-known show producers, Louis Horwitz has directed the Oscars more than once, but tonight's all he did not expect. You know, in the last ten years, the average number of Oscar viewers has never been lower than 40 million.
Although everyone knows that, this is mainly because the Oscar-nominated films are too lacking in bright spots. However, the big boss called him over before the awards ceremony, accused him of this messy red carpet ceremony in front of him, and most importantly, he said 'I hope the next awards ceremony will not be like a red carpet. The blanket is such a mess'.
Now, whether the awards ceremony is a mess in the mind of the big boss Louis Horwitz doesn't know, but the minimum viewership of 37 million is definitely a mess, which makes Louis Horwitz very nervous. He had to call New York in a hurry, hoping that Robert Iger, who had promoted him first, could say a few words for himself.
Randomly found a sofa to sit down,
Eric also ignored Louis Horwitz and Laura Spencer who were standing next to him, and put Laura Spencer's resume on his knee with his legs raised, while talking on the phone with Robert Iger.
The staff who were wrapping up the awards ceremony noticed the situation here, and they all avoided it with interest.
Robert Iger's explanation left Eric dumbfounded.
This year's bad red carpet ceremony ultimately comes down to this year's lackluster nominees.
Due to the low popularity and topicality of this year's Oscar-nominated films, which seriously affected the enthusiasm of advertisers, the advertising bidding price of this awards ceremony also hit a record low, usually about 1.2 million US dollars per 30 seconds. But only a little over 1 million.
Advertising revenue fell sharply, and the Academy cut the budget for the awards ceremony, and even shortened the Oscar red carpet, which is usually about 200 meters, to less than 150 meters. The Oscar red carpet has always been the most crowded one of the major film ceremonies. This time it was suddenly shortened by a quarter, but the number of guests did not decrease at all.
Although Eric was very dissatisfied with the academy's stingy thing to shorten the length of the red carpet, he should not interfere too much. Firefly's edge in Hollywood is already too strong, and accusing the academy of such trivialities is likely to lead to unnecessary speculation from all parties, which is simply making yourself uncomfortable.
After Robert Iger explained, he took the initiative to mention Laura Spencer.
Eric opened the resume on his knee.
It turns out that last year, Joan Langdon and Charles Gibson, the two ace anchors of abc's daytime news show Good Morning America, left one after another. Before that, Good Morning America had been the highest-rated show in the morning time slot. , which is also closely related to the popularity of the two ace anchors.
After the two left, the ratings of Good Morning America suffered a heavy blow. During this period, the ratings of this show were even overtaken by NBC's Today Show, which had been firmly suppressed for ten years. Laura Spencer is one of the newly promoted national correspondents as ABC management is making adjustments to the show in an effort to revive Good Morning America ratings.
Arranging Laura Spencer as the host of the Oscar red carpet this time is also to increase the popularity of the other party and increase the attention of Good Morning America in disguise.
After listening to Robert Iger's explanation, Eric was relieved.
National correspondent, the name sounds very high-end, but in fact, it is definitely a very tedious job. Unlike news anchors who only need to be stationed in the studio, abc national correspondents not only need to attend some studio interviews, but also often guest frontline reporters to visit the scene.
You know, this is the morning news from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock every day on abc.
The interview in the studio is okay. If you need to go to the scene in person, you may even have to go to the destination the day before. At least you have to get up early to prepare. From this point of view, this can even be called a very hard job. .
Moreover, the resume in hand also made Eric have no prejudice against Laura Spencer at all.
The blonde, who may look in her early twenties, is already thirty this year.
In the resume, the other party is not only a scholarship recipient from the University of Pennsylvania, but also a national-level diver who has worked in the media field for eight years after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania's broadcast journalism major. The work experience in the past eight years is also brilliant. He can deal with reporters, producers, photographers, editors and other jobs skillfully, and even received an 'a-one-man-band' evaluation, a-one-man- Band, one person and one band, just a little bit of understanding to know how high a rating this is.
Eric has always admired women who are both beautiful and hardworking, because there are too few women who can do both.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Eric hung up Robert Iger's phone, got up and handed the resume in his hand to Louis Horwitz, then took the initiative to reach out to Laura Spencer and said frankly: Okay, Laura, I apologise to you for my previous prejudice, you are truly outstanding.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Williams.
Laura Spencer held Eric's hand a little flattered. She was a little nervous just now, worried that she would lose her job after a few days of promotion, and even some students, Eric Williams. The boss's anger, does a beautiful woman have to be a vase?
However, as Eric reached out to her, the dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared immediately. After all, she never expected that the big boss would take the initiative to apologize to her.
Then, keep busy, Eric and Laura Spencer finished, withdrew his hand and said to Louis Horwitz, just as he was about to leave, he noticed that Laura Spencer was still wearing the same suit. The beautiful pink wide-shouldered deep-v dress said to the girl again, Laura, are you going to the Vanity Fair party, do you want a ride?
Laura Spencer just relaxed, and when she heard Eric's words, she raised her heart again. She instantly remembered that her boss is a famous playboy. The reason why she is still wearing a dress at this time is because she has been nervous until now because of what Louis Horwitz said, and she has no intention of changing her clothes, let alone going to a party, and her identity is simply not available. Tickets to the Vanity Fair party.
Eric noticed the change in Laura Spencer's expression, and quickly realized something, smiled, and said, That's fine, see you next time.
However, just as Eric turned around, Laura Spencer's voice came from behind him: No, Mr. Williams, I, I will.
Nicole and several women were at the Vanity Fair party, and Eric couldn't do anything even if he had other thoughts. He just mentioned it casually. At this time, looking at Laura Spencer's generous face, she couldn't help but smile, but said, Okay, let's go.
Watching Laura Spencer and Eric walk out of the backstage together, Louis Horwitz rolled up the resume in his hand and patted it in the palm of his other hand, shaking his head enviously, Pretty woman.
Stepping out of Dorothy Chandler Hall, Eric got into the car with Laura Spencer.
The driver started the car and left the city center. Eric looked at the girl beside him with a cautious look, and asked with a smile, Do you have a boyfriend?
Laura Spencer was stunned for a moment. She has been focusing on her work for the past few years. She is completely a workaholic and has no time to develop a stable relationship. Her eyes flickered for a moment, and although she wanted to nod her head, she finally shook her head honestly: No.
Oh, Eric nodded noncommittally, and said, If it's good, maybe you can call him over, so you won't be like an alert little hedgehog now.
When Laura Spencer heard Eric speak so bluntly, she relaxed a little and asked boldly, Mr. Williams, do you have a girlfriend?
Yeah, they're all at the Vanity Fair party, and they'll definitely keep an eye on me later, so you can rest assured.
When Laura Spencer heard Eric's words, she couldn't hold back, she laughed out loud, and caught a certain word jokingly: They?
Well, Eric nodded: They.
Mr. Williams, you are quite frank.
Actually, it's not a good thing to be too candid in front of beautiful women.
Laura Spencer blinked and said, That's not necessarily true. Some women like frank men. It's not good to talk too much.
With a smile on his lips, Eric pointed out, Then I'm hitting right?
Laura Spencer relaxed unconsciously, and counterattacked slightly: Your words must be premeditated.
You are prejudice, Eric pretended to be dissatisfied: I just apologized to you for my own prejudice.
Laura Spencer smiled and said, I have the proof, Mr. Williams, you mustn't be able to show it?
It seems that I can only prove it with time. You remember to owe me an apology then.
OK.
Speaking of which, Eric changed his posture slightly to make it easier to admire the beautiful girl next to him, and asked curiously, Why do you want to be a correspondent? It's not an easy job?
Because this position can make the transition to the TV anchor faster, Laura Spencer felt Eric's gaze, but did not take any precautions, but with confidence in her tone, said: Actually, I think I can already I am qualified for the job of news anchor.”
Little women have big ambitions, Eric said with a smile, but I can't promise you now, young people should hone more.
Laura Spencer looked at the young man who was actually a year younger than him, and said, Mr. Williams, it's really weird to say this from your mouth.
Eric reacted and shrugged: Okay, I think so too.
Ha ha.
After chatting like this, I unknowingly arrived at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Getting off the car in the parking lot, there were also many guests who came to the party one after another, and some of them took the initiative to say hello to Eric, while their eyes inevitably fell on Laura Spencer.
Looking at Laura Spencer, who was bound to become restrained at the Vanity Fair party for the first time, Eric stretched out his arm to the girl and said with a smile, If you don't mind if no male guests dare to talk to you later. ?
Laura Spencer blushed slightly, and took the initiative to come over to hold Eric's arm, and said softly, Thank you, Mr. Williams.
Eric took her into the Hilton Hotel and said, Actually, I am also selfish. You know, I would never persuade beautiful girls to have boyfriends. I would prefer them to find girlfriends.
Laura Spencer felt the gazes of the guests around her and whispered, Mr. Williams, do you have to be so frank?
You can call me Eric.
This turning point is a bit inexplicable, Laura Spencer wondered: Shouldn't this sentence be said when the two people just met?
No, you don't want me to be frank with you, so I think maybe we can move to the next stage.
Laura Spencer suddenly wanted to pinch the man next to her, just like Nicole Kidman did in the previous red carpet interview. However, she only dared to think about it, and said, Well, I think it is necessary for me to insist on calling you Mr. Williams.
The two came to the media area outside the Vanity Fair party hall. Eric took the initiative to let go of the girl who was holding him, and said, By the way, come and find me when you leave, and I will have someone take you back to the hotel.
Laura Spencer felt Eric let go of himself, and suddenly felt a little lost, but shook his head and said, No, Mr. Williams, I can go back myself.
Eric didn't insist either. He gently pushed the woman towards the media wall and said, Go ahead and have fun.
Laura Spencer walked to the media wall, the reporter's frantic flashlight fell on her, but the woman's gaze couldn't help but follow the man's figure around the interview area until the other party disappeared at the entrance of the party hall.
