Chapter 709

After several months of hustle and bustle, the 1995 awards season finally came to an end with the arrival of the 67th Academy Awards.

Under the influence of Eric's 'butterfly', this year's Oscars are very different from their previous lives. Forrest Gump, which is hailed as a landscape painting of modern history by Americans, has been postponed, Pulp Fiction, the benchmark work of independent films, has been advanced, and The Shawshank Redemption, the biggest legacy in Oscar history, has not yet been filmed.

Although various changes have taken place, the attention of this Oscar is no less than any time before. The duel between Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart has been hyped by the media for several months. For a long time, the five angel spokespersons of last year's much-publicized Victoria's Secret show will appear on the stage to present awards at the same time. Across Broadway has swept the major nominations, and of course, no one will attend.

The most important thing is that this Oscar is very likely to produce the first best female director in the history of the Oscars. The work of this female director participating in the competition for the award is also a heart-warming war film.

March 27, 5 p.m., Holy Citizen Auditorium, Los Angeles.

The red carpet live broadcast on abc TV started on time.

Outside the Holy Citizen Auditorium, fans who were fortunate enough to get seats on both sides of the red carpet watched excitedly at the growing number of stars on the red carpet, cheering up and looking forward to supporting idols.

Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, John Travolta, Tom Cruise, Helen Mirren, Susan Sarandon, Jodie Foster, Winona Ray De...

Whenever a familiar face appears on the red carpet, it can cause bursts of cheers.

A courtesy car slowly stopped at the end of the red carpet. This was Katherine's first time attending the Oscars. Before Saving Private Ryan, although films such as Shocking Point and Thunderbolt Blue Angel have attracted the attention of the industry, but because the topics discussed in several films are not pleasing, she has not received much. Decent nomination.

The courtesy car is arranged by the brokerage firm. Extending Lincoln, she was the only one sitting in the carriage, which seemed a little empty. Inadvertently glanced at the crowd of people outside the car window, and suddenly became nervous.

She has always been uncomfortable in such public situations.

The door was pulled open. Catherine hesitated for a moment, but stepped out of the carriage and stepped on the red carpet, holding the handbag tightly in her hand.

In the end, she chose the light gray silk dress that Eric gave her.

There is an irregular heart-shaped pattern embroidered on the chest, the waist is tied up, and the hem is very long, but it is completely supported by her tall figure. Gives a stunning feeling of legs below the waist.

Although she was temporarily overwhelmed, she still straightened her back habitually. On the surface, she could not see the panic in her heart. Instead, it gave people a sense of nobility of a goddess descending. This completely inside-out aura made her feel There was a brief silence in the surrounding audience, and the first reaction in most people's hearts was basically which actress is this?

When someone shouted 'Catherine' first, everyone suddenly reacted and responded excitedly.

Catherine, Catherine. Catherine...

The crazy flashing spotlight made her raise her hand involuntarily, trying to cover her eyes, but she quickly realized that this action was a bit inappropriate. Halfway up, it turned into a gentle waving to the crowd, with a shy smile on her face, which made the atmosphere in the venue even more frenetic, she even heard someone shouting 'Catherine, I love you, marry me ' insane words, uh, still a female voice.

The agent standing on the periphery of the red carpet made several gestures towards her, and she remembered to move forward.

A solitary one.

I miss that little guy inexplicably. Although he scared her enough that night, but. If there is such a person by your side now, you can hold his arm. Maybe I won't be so nervous. A strong man can always give people a sense of security. In the past, she always felt that she could not need such ridiculous things. Now, surrounded by the crowd, she suddenly realized that maybe, she still needs... a little bit. .

In a chaotic manner, like a puppet, he completely followed the manager's arrangement, walked across the red carpet, entered the crowd, and joined the crew of Saving Private Ryan, finally relaxing. However, he was quickly caught by the agent and led him into the auditorium, saying that he wanted to introduce the interview of ABC TV.

The content agent had already explained it to her before the interview.

But when the black hostess complimented her dress on her beauty and asked which brand it was, she couldn't answer.

A certain shadow jumped out again.

I heard that he was making trouble at Universal's party two days ago, as if he was trying to grab some movie rights.

I also heard that he was messing with those women again.

Hey.

Although she tried her best to make her sigh more like a big sister who was worried about her younger brother, she couldn't erase some of her emotions.

It's just that she doesn't know that kind of emotion is called resentment.

Since he doesn't participate in the Oscars, I don't know what he will be doing now.

...

Early in the morning, after sending the five women out of the Sharphorn Manor, Eric hurried to the Firefly headquarters in Burbank.

Katzenberg's work efficiency has always been very high. Although the first two days were weekends, when Eric arrived at the company, he had already come up with a rough cooperation plan with Hasbro.

Eric didn't know much about the surrounding operations, so he could only listen patiently to Katzenberg and the director of the brand operations department, and discussed it all morning.

Not stopping at lunch, Eric and Katzenberg shared a meal together and discussed the details of the preparations for a few more films.

During the period, Eric briefly talked about the idea of ​​America's Next Top Model. Katzenberg got excited again, grabbed Eric, and emptied all the thoughts in his mind. And it is strongly recommended to put America's Next Top Model on the TV station under the ae TV network.

The ae TV network used to be a subsidiary TV network of the abc group. At this time, it was jointly owned by the firefly group and the Hearst group. Neither of them held a controlling stake, each holding 50% of the shares. This small network mainly includes several basic cable stations such as History Channel, Crime and Psychology Channel and Women's Channel.

The so-called basic cable stations, compared to hbo and those paid cable stations, means that viewers only need to pay cable TV access fees to cable TV operators such as Comcast and Time Warner. programs you can watch. Of course, the types of TV stations in different cable packages are also different. Several other cable TV stations under Firefly such as Disney and espn are also basic cable stations.

Under normal circumstances, the cable TV packages subscribed by users include as few as dozens to hundreds of basic cable stations. So, even a few unpopular channels under the ae TV station. The number of users for external publicity is also between 30 million and 90 million, but in fact, because of the need to share audience resources with dozens or hundreds of basic cable stations in the package, even if the number of users is the same, the actual ratings are also sky-high. By the way, the America's Next Top Model broadcast platform suggested by Katzenberg is this kind of platform. It is specifically aimed at female audiences under the age of 35, and is more targeted than TV stations such as mtv, wb or upn. But if MTV is a second-tier TV station, it can only be regarded as a third-tier TV station. As you can imagine, the ratings are even more dismal.

Eric didn't think of putting America's Next Top Model on this little-known TV, well, although it was his own platform. But just like in the previous life Warner would not put Friends on its own wb TV station, but sold it to nbc, America's Next Top Model cannot fully reflect its value.

But Katzenberg's thinking was different from Eric's. Now it's really nothing. But like a seedling, if you don't water or fertilize it, it will never grow.

The workaholic after lunch. Can't wait to get in touch with the director of ae TV station in New York, a group of people held a conference call for an entire afternoon, the theme is to discuss how to further develop their hands, these are professionals in the TV industry, so only a few Within hours, a detailed development strategy and marketing plan were discussed.

The main strategy, inspired by the success of last year's Survivor, will be to become a TV station that broadcasts reality shows primarily aimed at women.

Previously, it mainly played some low-cost chick movies. Women's TV shows or something, and it's not that massive. The show mainly relies on buying the second- or third-round broadcast rights of popular shows from large TV stations, and there are very few self-made shows. The column size is even ranked after the history channel and the crime heart channel of the ae TV network. However, it is also in response to the saying that the boat is small and good. Since the further development strategy has been finalized, of course, we will do what we say.

First off, save America's Next Top Model.

Forehead.

Pit boss, this is it.

Although Eric complained a little in his heart, he was not lacking in adventurous spirit. Since everyone was provoked by Katzenberg in just one afternoon, he didn't mind taking a fight, so that's all. agreed.

After all, the cost of America's Next Top Model is really low, and the program format is not complicated.

In fact, most of the reality shows in North America later had a unified ancestor, Survivor. In Eric's sporadic memory, America's Next Top Model is basically a model version of Survivor, with the elimination mechanism, the open and secret tearing of the players, and even a few times in each episode. The tears are almost all left over from Survivor.

But there is no way, American audiences love to watch this, otherwise Survivor would not have created such a sky-high ratings.

Then, Katzenberg's next actions made Eric feel that this fellow's annual salary of tens of millions is really not in vain.

Not only did he ask the director of ae TV station to come to Los Angeles tomorrow to discuss the matter in more detail, but also brought over the management of the TV program production department under Firefly to discuss with Eric the general production of America's Next Top Model on the spot. detail.

By the time all this work was almost done, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, eight o'clock, eight o'clock...

It seems that he was complaining a few days ago. Anyway, some resentments would not fall on him, but the retribution came so fast, in just a few days, he became a resentment maker.

However, as a boss, of course, Eric can't tell his employees, hey, let's not get off work so hard, let's get off work early.

So I had to stay with me until the beginning of Hua Deng.

The Oscars are almost halfway through, and talents such as Eric and Katzenberg came out of the conference room and headed straight to the restaurant at the headquarters.

Although he has to go to the party after the Oscars, the hungry Eric is absolutely impossible to last until that time. Once the high-intensity work is over, the first reaction of most people is usually One word, hungry.

After ordering dinner, the group knew what day it was, and immediately turned on the TV in the restaurant.

The sound came out of the TV, which happened to be the stage of awarding the best original screenplay.

Saving Private Ryan and Braveheart are both nominated for Best Original Screenplay, but Eric has already won this award once, and he also knows Oscar's urine, which is impossible at his age. Giving him another statuette so soon, so after getting one nomination, completely gave up on PR for the award.

After listening to the award-giving guests for a while, they began to introduce the nominations for the best original screenplay. Eric was a little absent-minded, but he quickly regained his spirits.

Because he heard a familiar name.

Of course, not Braveheart, not Saving Private Ryan, not Bullets Over Broadway by the big framed little man, well, not Four Weddings and a Funeral, although Eric In this film, the heroine has a very deep memory of the thirty-three men who counted her one by one, but she did not pay attention to the director of this film.

What reminded him was a movie called Angel of Sin.

The film has two screenwriters, one named Fran? Wales, soy sauce character, do not pay attention. The other one was as loud as thunder, and his name was Peter Jackson.

Moreover, the two heroines in this film also made Eric very interested. Fat Wen withstood the powerful butterfly effect and continued to enter Hollywood firmly, while the other heroine was also Eric in his previous life. One of the most impressive actresses is Melanie Lynskey, the quirky stalker next door in Two and a Half Men, Ross. (To be continued.)
