I’m in Hollywood

Although he has no expectations for this award, Eric still has a little anxiety in his expression, but at the same time he is comforting himself in his heart. Anyway, he is still young, and it is not good to win the award too early. matter.

On the stage, after Jane Fonda introduced the nomination for Best Original Screenplay, she looked around the stage slightly, not knowing whether it was intentional or not, Eric noticed that the woman's gaze had deliberately stayed on him for a moment, but he didn't wait. Eric made any confirmation, and Jane Fonda lowered her head and opened the envelope, took out the card with the winner's name on it, and glanced at it. He looked up and glanced at Eric.

Eric can be sure that this time is definitely not his hallucination. If that look just now may have been inadvertent, then, this time, does it mean...

His heart beat a few times, and Eric clenched his fists again unconsciously, staring at Jane Fonda with piercing eyes.

Jane Fonda seemed to sense the urging emotions of everyone in the audience, so she didn't give up any further. She leaned closer to the microphone and said loudly, The one that won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is: Cry on a Island.

The most unlikely thing happened. Most of the people in the Los Angeles music hall are people who have been immersed in Hollywood for a long time. When they heard this name, many people also showed surprised expressions.

Although he had been hinted in advance, Eric's eyes widened in disbelief, and Eric did not stand up until someone around him stood up.

The applause also sounded like thunder.

At the same time, a scene that surprised everyone in the award hall followed.

As Eric got up, more people also got up, including Sleepless in Seattle, Sleepless in Seattle and Dark War, which received a series of nominations. For all the fireflies-related crews such as Pretty Woman, the number of people who got up involved the people in the five rows around Eric.

Although many people who got up immediately realized that this was inappropriate, it was even more inappropriate to sit down. So it can only remain as it is.

After a simple hug with a few people in the vicinity, Eric was under the pressure of time. He could only hurriedly shake hands with other people who stood up around him, and even some were too far away and could only touch his fingers.

Even so, it took nearly a minute for Eric to walk onto the stage smoothly.

Under the stage at this time, the original expressions of serious doubt, shock, and helplessness of many people have turned into envy. A small award for Best Original Screenplay can make such a big move.

Well, today is over. No one dared to ignore Eric's status in Hollywood anymore.

The acceptance speech for this award was prepared by Eric in advance, so it was easier to say than when he won the best soundtrack more than an hour ago. Even when Eric was speaking his acceptance speech, he also divided part of his thoughts on why he could get this award.

There is no doubt that this is the result of Oscar's divided pork.

Eric felt that he was thinking about the Oscars a little too simplistically. With his current influence in Hollywood, in the case of receiving two nominations at the same time, if he still won nothing, then. Once again, Oscar's impartiality will be called into question.

Moreover, this time the doubts will definitely come not only from the media, but also from ordinary people. As for the reason, it was because of the incident some time ago that Eric had already experienced a malicious suppression storm. If Oscar still let him go home empty-handed even though he was nominated for two best screenplays, then the public would inevitably be Once again, some bad associations are generated, which is disappointing for Oscar.

As for why in the end, it didn't win the award for the best adapted screenplay for Scent of a Scent and Knowing a Woman, but the best original screenplay award for Cry on the Island, then. Eric understands that this is likely to be the result of a series of games behind it. Although very interested in a series of insider. But Eric knows that he has not yet reached the point where he can touch the internal game of the Oscars.

Think so. Following Jane Fonda and the awarding guests all the way to the backstage, the staff eagerly took over the little golden figure in Eric's hand who did not have a nameplate, and nailed the golden nameplate for him.

The next award is the best director award, and Scent of a Woman was also nominated for the best director. Therefore, Eric, who was waiting for the staff to nail the nameplate, was inevitably impatient. At this time, Jane, who awarded him the award . Fonda came over.

Mr. Williams, congratulations, Jane Fonda reached out to Eric with a smile on her face.

Ms. Fonda, thank you for the tip you just gave me, Eric still maintained his good interests and flattered despite being anxious: I have watched many of your movies, The Return of the Glory and The Killer King on Flower Street are both It's great, but my favorite is Golden Pond, the affection shown in the movie here is touching.

Thank you for your liking, Jane Fonda continued with a smile, Mr. Williams, you must have a celebration party next, right?

Eric's expression changed slightly, and he soon realized that this woman did not simply come over to say hello to him. Although he did not know the purpose of the other party, he was able to establish some friendship with the famous Hollywood acting family. Certainly beneficial.

Therefore, Eric said without hesitation: Yes, Ms. Fonda, if you are free, you are welcome to our celebration party after the ceremony on the third floor of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

I'll go, Jane Fonda nodded. She knew that Eric was also in a hurry to return to the hall, so she didn't say much and left quickly.

Even so, when Eric returned to the awards hall, he was still disappointed to find that Oliver Stone, the director of Born on the Fourth of July on the stage was speaking his acceptance speech, while the nearby Scent of a Scent and Knowing a Woman Al Pacino from the crew saw Eric coming back and gave him a helpless look. As for Martin Brest, Eric did not see the other party's expression, but in addition to being disappointed, Eric also Can't think of anything else.

Speaking of the movie Born on the Fourth of July, I have to talk about the sad Tom Tom. Eric also remembered after seeing this movie. Tom Cruise would have used his own The film received its first Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

It's a pity that Cruise missed the movie because of his role in Dark War.

Originally, both Firefly and Cruise tried to win a nomination for a best actor, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful. Although Tom was nominated for a best actor in a drama at the Golden Globe Awards for Dark War, he was not. Failed to touch Oscar, so Eric met Cruise a few days ago, but the other party never gave him any good looks.

Cruise has already received enough remuneration for Dark War. Therefore, although Eric is a little helpless that Cruise failed to win the Oscar nomination, he does not feel that he owes him anything. After all, Cruise The pay is much more than Hanks.

Thinking like this, Judy Foster, the previous Best Actress winner on stage, had already started to introduce the nominations for Best Actor. After listening to the introduction of the girl on stage, Eric suddenly thought, if Silence The Lambs can be produced and released last year, then Jodie Foster will likely win the Oscar for best actress.

This has to be said to be a pity.

Best Actor nominees: Morgan Freeman, Driving Miss Daisy; Al Pacino, Scent of a Woman; Daniel Day-Lewis, My Left Foot; Kenneth Branagh, Henry V, God of War, Robin Williams, Dead Poets Society.

Every time a person is introduced, a wonderful movie clip will appear on the big screen behind Jodie Foster.

Eric looked at Al Pacino, whose waist was slightly taut not far away, and could also feel some of Al Pacino's mood. Since 17 years ago, Al Pacino has successively obtained Five Oscar nominations, but all fell through. With Al Arsino's acting skills, it's no exaggeration to say that 'Oscar owes him a statuette'.

As for Daniel Day-Lewis, the original Oscar winner for best actor, although the other party's acting skills are also very good, Daniel. Day-Lewis's disadvantage is also very obvious.

First of all, he's British, which would certainly be discriminated against by Oscar, no doubt about it.

Secondly, Daniel Day-Lewis is only in his early thirties, and he has just reached the average age of an Oscar actor. Compared with Al Pacino, who is already fifty years old, he looks even younger.

In the end, Daniel Day-Lewis can't compete with Al Pacino who has been in Hollywood for nearly 20 years in terms of qualifications and connections.

The reason why Daniel Day-Lewis in his previous life won the award has a lot to do with just catching up with Oscar's young age. Although he was affected by the butterfly effect, Eric can still think of some clues from the current list. Most of the nominated films should be the same as the previous life, but in the list of nominated films, except for Born on the Fourth of July, which was originally famous because of Tom Cruise's starring, other films have no influence force.

This time, things did not surprise Eric again. After Jodie Foster opened the envelope, she quickly read Al Pacino's name.

In the warm applause, after Al Pacino greeted the cast members of Scent of a Woman, he did not come on stage immediately, but walked towards Eric in the back row. Eric realized what the other party was going to do. , stood up with a smile, and Jonathan Demmy, who was sitting on the other side of Eric, moved away sensibly. (To be continued)
