Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

On February 1998, 2, the 15th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony was grandly held at the Hollywood Hilton Hotel.

Since entering the awards season, the awards of major film associations in the United States have attracted much attention, and they are still more concerned than in previous years. There are many reasons for this. Good Will Hunting, As Good as It Gets, etc., and more importantly, it produced two phenomenal films in the same year: Gattaca, the first film in film history with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars, it is even more sci-fi The highest-grossing movie in history, plus it delivered a great speech, and the sense of affirmative action it brought.Its success in all aspects is considered by professionals to be created by the current situation, and at the same time it cannot be copied; "Titanic", this is also a movie that has created and is creating miracles.In terms of the box office alone, "Titanic" only had a modest $3000 million in its first weekend, but then its box office subverted the box office that a movie should have followed when it was released in theaters. According to the law, the weekend box office in the second week increased to US$30 million, and the weekend box office in the third week was still US$500 million... By the time the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held, it was still the North American weekend box office champion. At this time, the North American box office has accumulated to 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is just around the corner to reach the billion-dollar mark.At this point, all the debates have already died down, and they are completely numb to the strong performance of "Titanic" which continues to earn no less than [-] million US dollars a week-it seems that there is no power on earth. , can stop it from becoming the king of the box office in the world, even "Gatta" can't.

At the same time, problems arise.

The Academy Awards, which has always been known for its aloofness but sometimes wanders on the edge of fashion, faced these two films, a sci-fi film, and a commercial film that can be said to be out-and-out with so-called money and stunts. What choice will be made?

People in the industry wisely held a cautious attitude before the final result came out. After all, the lessons learned from "Titanic" slapped the face with a rising box office are still vivid.They can only figure out the attitudes of North American film critics from the outposts of the Oscars and the major film association awards, and then guess the minds of the academy judges. You must know that the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, New York Film Critics Association Awards, Chicago Film Critics Awards The judges of the Film Critics Awards such as the Association Awards are also the judges of the Academy. Although it is not accurate to see more, it can still touch some of the Academy's context.

Let's talk about the Golden Globes, the most important outpost of the Academy Awards, which aroused widespread discussion when the nominations were announced a month ago. "Titanic" was nominated for Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best Actress in a Drama Series, Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Gloria Stewart as Old Rose) , Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Original Song, and Best Film Score nine awards, it can be said that all those who can be shortlisted have been shortlisted; Best Actor, Best Screenplay and Best Film Score, although not as sweeping as "Titanic", but the nominations for the Best Picture Award in the Drama category can also explain a lot of problems. , acting awards are favored, and they are more nominated for technical awards. Otherwise, how could they give birth to the Saturn Awards organized by the American Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

But nominations are just nominations after all, and it's not surprising to say that in the history of film, nominations are infinite, but films that fail in the end abound.In this way, it depends on who will get the flowers when the awards ceremony is held.

"Why is he here?!"

Kate heard Leonardo's exclamation and asked reflexively: "Who?"

"Tony Stark," Leonardo glanced again, and after confirming that the guest who swaggered in was Tony Stark, he suddenly felt strange, "Why did the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony invite Is he coming?"

Kate did not have as much reaction as Leonardo. Although the stars in front of the stage were more shining at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the guests were not all stars. The composition was actually very complicated. There were behind-the-scenes staff, producers The producers of the factory, the golden brokers of the brokerage company, celebrities in the social circle, people in the fashion industry, and socialites, etc., it’s just that they usually don’t walk the red carpet.Therefore, it is understandable that Tony Stark will be invited by the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony as a guest, and, "I remember that Mr. Stark played a cameo in "L.A. Confidential" starring Eric, and " LA Confidential also received several nominations, maybe he was invited by the organizers because of this."

Leonardo suddenly realized: "After you said that, I realized that out of the five best drama films in this year's Golden Globe Awards, Eric starred in three of them."

Kate: "...Congratulations on noticing this."

It's not new anymore, is it?

——At the beginning of the awards season, people have already noticed this. Although the rest of the excellent films, under the light of "Gaitball" and "Titanic", seem much bleak, but people in the industry don't know They will not ignore their excellence because of this, and it was only at this time that they discovered that among the top ten films of the year, there is another film that is closely related to Gu Qing: "LA Confidential".

"L.A. Confidential" received five nominations at this year's Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Film Score and Best Screenplay , it can be said that the three films starring and co-produced by Gu Qing accounted for almost three-tenths of all nominations in the Golden Globe Awards, and they competed with each other in several nominations.

Leonardo's eyes flickered: "I actually paid attention to the box office results of "Titanic", so I paid less attention to this aspect." Mainly, Leonardo is still a free and unruly person at heart. Boy, he doesn't pay much attention to awards, and the box office of "Titanic" is related to his masculinity. As the global box office of "Titanic" is getting closer and closer to one billion US dollars, Leonardo The more I want to go back through time and space, and slap myself twice in the face for proposing to disguise myself as a woman, this is like lifting a stone and shooting myself in the foot. Life can't be more tragic!

Kate glanced at him suspiciously. She always felt that there must be some accident that she didn't know about. Otherwise, why would Cameron pick his nose and eyes at Leonardo during the chat just now?

Leonardo was a little guilty when Kate saw it, so he baldly said: "I'm going to say hello to Stark, do you want to go together?"

After talking about Leonardo, he regretted it. He and Tony really have no common language. At the last premiere of "Gait Shot", Leonardo was very sure of this, so when Kate curiously asked "Do you two know each other?" Leonardo resolutely refused to admit, "I don't know each other!"

It is sonorous and powerful, and it lands with a sound.

"Okay." Kate was also not sure whether Leonardo and Tony knew each other. She looked in Tony's direction. On such an occasion, as a Stark, Tony was obviously very comfortable, Peacock When the screen opened, many guests who had come to participate in the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony had already surrounded him.

Leonardo took the opportunity to slip away, no, he saw an actor he knew, so he went over to say hello.

"Jude Law, right? Do you remember me? I'm Eric's friend, Leonardo DiCaprio, whom we met on the set of Gattaca. This beautiful lady is Is your girlfriend?"

The creators of Gattaca, from the director to the cameraman, have all been invited by the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Even if Jude Law did not get nominated for Best Supporting Actor, he has more roles than the heroine Uma Thurman's supporting actor is naturally among them.This is a very good opportunity to expand your network and show yourself. His agent Matt Rifkin naturally agreed, and he did his best to help Jude Law's current girlfriend, a Broadway stage actor Mi Ya Ward prepared the gown.

Jude Law showed a polite but not too alienated smile to Leonardo: "Hello."

Compared with his reservedness, his girlfriend is much more excited. You must know that as "Titanic" set off a tide of movie-watching around the world, the free and unrestrained, handsome "Jack" , has become another rising national idol, a Hollywood heartthrob, but few women, especially young ladies, can resist his charm, even if she already has a handsome boyfriend.

Leonardo didn't care about Jude Law's slightly indifferent attitude. The British all said this ← Leonardo said that it was the same as making friends with many British people.

He was about to say something more, when he noticed that Jude Law was distracted - his eyes were looking elsewhere, what is it?Mia Wald obviously noticed it too. She followed Jude Law's gaze and couldn't help but exclaim.After realizing her gaffe, Mia Wald quickly covered her mouth with her hand, but the people around her were not much better.

Leonardo pouted secretly, could it be Tom Cruise, the winner of the Best Actor in Music/Comedy category last year?He turned around to look at it himself, and his eyes widened involuntarily.

It's really not Tom Cruise who was invited to be the award presenter, but the big nominee (?) who contracted 30.00% of the nominations for the Golden Globes. As for why it caused such a commotion?

The large bouquet of bright red roses that Gu Qing was holding in his hand should bear most of the responsibility.

Whether it is young or not young ladies present, even if they are already famous, even if they know that they have nothing to do with this ex industry heir, billionaire, national idol, and dream lover, they still can't help it. My mind fluttered, maybe that bouquet of red roses was for myself?

—— Ladies seem to be born with little resistance to Prince Charming/dream lover, and maybe some men.

It is said to be a part, so the men who are not included in it, more often have the idea of ​​watching the excitement, or feel that their limelight has been robbed.Tony, the other billionaire present, Tony Stark, one of the two richest men in the United States, felt that he had been robbed of the limelight, and what did he think of, under the eyes of everyone, greeted him very maliciously. up.

"Don't tell me, you plan to take this opportunity to jump out of the cabinet?"

Gu Qing seemed very surprised to see Tony, he raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

Tony couldn't help laughing, and when he spoke again this time, he didn't deliberately lower his voice like before: "I can't believe you didn't know I was coming." Jarvis was about to become his part-time housekeeper now, and It's not the original full-time housekeeper. As for why he can't do a full-time job well, he has to ask the guy in front of him who has a more powerful artificial intelligence in his family.Oh, his idol.

"But 'coming' and 'coming' are two different concepts, Tony." Gu Qing said with a smile, with the bouquet of red roses that looked like there were 99, it was really a 'peach with a human face' 'Flowers reflect red.

Tony raised his eyebrows, "I'm very lucky that I'm here, otherwise, wouldn't I miss a big piece of news?" He said, looking at the rose in Gu Qing's hand meaningfully, and then glanced back casually. Looking at the hall, why did I see a young, blond and blue-eyed man walking towards me so unsurprisingly?

Gu Qing's attitude became calm: "Is this a prophecy you made against me?"

"Huh." Tony snorted. Gu Qing is the most confident person he has ever seen who pretends to be stupid and pretends to be stupid. There are too many examples of this, just take the nearest male As far as the girl-playing accident is concerned, Tony’s attention was first focused on Gu Qing’s mental blemishes, after all, is it #一回生二回亲#, but as a genius-level technical geek, Tony quickly moved on from there. In the short video tape of less than 3 minutes, a bigger problem was found, that is the setting of the shooting!

When Gu Qing and Leonardo auditioned for the role, they were in the crew office of "Titanic" in Los Angeles. The Titanic in the background was made by Gu Qing with a 3D simulator.The vast majority of viewers who have watched this videotape will subconsciously think that it was shot in a studio, and will not doubt other aspects.But Tony is different, he can see the clues, but it's useless, he wants Jarvis to be a spy, but... "Here you are."

The absent-minded Tony, after hearing such an imperative sentence, reached out to pick it up reflexively, and when he came back to his senses, he stared at the red rose in his hand expressionlessly: "What do you mean? "

"Giving someone a rose, does the hand have a lingering fragrance?" Gu Qing, who casually sent a red rose out, explained this way. Seeing that Tony seemed dissatisfied with this answer, he gave another answer in a very considerate manner. , "Otherwise—then on this very important day today, I sincerely hope that you will remain in a happy mood, and don't just activate your big prophecy?"

Tony, Tony wants to launch his big divination right now.

"Eric, what, what's the situation?" Leonardo, who walked over quickly, asked the question that most of the people present wanted to know.

"Oh, Leo." Gu Qing didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with him now, and after greeting Leonardo, he took out a rose from the bouquet and handed it to him, "Yesterday was Valentine's Day."

Leonardo hesitated and asked, "Then?"

"When I was walking on the red carpet, some fans gave me this bouquet of red roses." Logical death came back, but it's understandable, who let yesterday be the day when red roses dominated the streets or screens, so every other day At the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, some fans showed their love to their idols with bouquets of roses.This time, Gu Qing, who had no companion on the red carpet, readily took the bouquet of roses, held it in such a majestic way, walked the red carpet all the way, and murdered countless films along the way.

"So that's how it is." Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably in his heart. He thought that Gu Qing was giving a red rose to some female star. It's not fair, he hasn't found a girlfriend yet.As he was thinking, he noticed the sight projected from the side. Leonardo looked over and smiled politely at the owner of the sight: "Mr. Stark, how are you?"

——I don’t know who it was before, and said loudly that I didn’t know Tony.

"Actually, I have hay fever allergies, and I don't like to pick up things that are handed to me." Tony squeezed out a very bright smile and said quickly.

"Don't you want this rose? Then you can give it to me." Leonardo immediately heard the implication of Tony's words, and stretched out his hand to Tony while speaking.

At this moment, Kate's voice came: "Eric, Leo!" She was entrusted by Cameron to call Gu Qing and Leonardo. Gu Qing is gone, but I don't want him to continue to embarrass himself, so I let Kate come over and call the two of them over. It's more reassuring to watch in front of him.As for Leonardo, he should be angered. Of course, it is also possible that Cameron still remembers Leonardo's ultimate bet.

——Well, is Cameron cutting the mess quickly?
