super actress

Chapter 55

Janet van Dyne was born in New Jersey, USA. Her father and husband are both hopeless scientists. The man plunged into the laboratory like that to consume his life.

It's one thing to work hard, it's another to work hard.

Her husband almost abandoned the family, so Janet has to take care of her daughter Hope. Of course, she can also hire a nanny. The financial situation of the Dyne family is quite good, but she still chooses to take care of it by herself. Daughter who hasn't started school yet.

Although Janet never thought that one day the word housewife would come to her head, she is a rich and playful young lady, but at this stage of her life, Janet decided to Obeying her mother's nature temporarily slowed down her career and ambitions, and took care of her daughter Hope first.

This is the life experience she got from her father, Dr. Dyne. When the children were young, they did not cherish their childhood, and when they grow up, they will make up for it.

Janet had an incredibly long period of willfulness and resentment, but after meeting her husband and going through all the intricacies, now she is mature.

Even so, this does not prevent Janet from watching TV to relax when she is free. Although people have labeled her with a higher education family and a higher academic background, she is not the stereotype of a scientist. She loves to watch TV movies, and even the boring question of who is more handsome between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and she studied it with relish.

This made her husband Hank Pym very incomprehensible, and Janet wondered why he could catch up with her at that time.

Now Janet's new favorite on the screen is "Lolita", which has been constantly turmoil recently. She met Rhea Nolen on "Oprah's Talk Show". If she hadn't watched this show, would Janet Will want to see the movie "Lolita" that was hyped by the media.

She also doesn't like Nabokov's original work. In her opinion, it is a whitewashing work for pedophiles. love her.

When she got the book, Janet only insisted on reading fifteen pages, and then she skipped the ending to make sure that Humbert went to prison.

Throw this book away in comfort.

But Rhea was likable. Janet liked this beautiful young girl as soon as she saw her on "Oprah". American girls who look docile and well-behaved are particularly fond of them.

Although Janet has no intention of what kind of person Hope will become, she decided to leave the choice of growth to Hope herself, but deep down in her heart she still yearns for such a girl image.

Beautiful but not ostentatious, restrained but not timid.

Even if Janet didn't know Rhea Noren before, it didn't affect her liking for Rhea at first sight. Human beings are visual animals, and Janet will not be ashamed of this.

A beautiful skin can leave a good impression on the other party at the first time, but what deepens the impression and favorability is the words and deeds and the deep-seated personality charm.

Rhea doesn't lack for those things.

When she was standing, her figure was very tall and elegant. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she must have practiced her body, so the back muscles were tight and there was no fat, which made the line from the neck to the back very beautiful. Others are more temperamental.

So when she sits down next to Oprah, she can still maintain this state.

Oprah is an attractive woman, she may not be a beauty, but she has a kind of magical power, which is a big reason why Janet likes to watch this talk show so much, although Hank has commented on the exaggeration of the show more than once And hypocrisy, Janet still likes this talk show very much.

But sitting next to Oprah, it can be seen that some newcomers are not stage-frightened. Rhea is not an empty vase with a face. She speaks in an orderly manner and knows how to grasp the rhythm. So sensational, but she can also firmly hold the audience's attention when telling the story.

Janet was completely attracted, and she was both angry and sad when she heard it. As a mother, she couldn't imagine how anyone would be willing to sell their daughter to a man. Give me a good beating.

Even those women who lived in the slums and had to sell their bodies to survive, they would protect their children and fight for their lives, but Rhea's biological mother still has a house!

No matter what, it's not to the point of selling her daughter.

Although she is a mother, her strong sense of justice still makes Janet unbearable to see such things

.

This sense of guilt in the face of other people's misfortune made Janet feel sorry for Rhea even more. She chased from the show to the cinema and finished watching "Lolita" in another way.

So another girl also left a deep impression on her. Janet couldn't make Rhea a Lolita. Immerse yourself in the Lolita story shaped by Rhea.

Then the result got worse, and Janet was even more unhappy. "Lolita" was also a tragedy, but the scene where Humbert went to prison at the end made her blocked heart feel better, but after walking out of the movie theater, her The heart is still heavy.

What she and her husband have always pursued is to make the world a better place. Science and technology can promote the development of mankind, but civilization is not as simple as the achievements of science and technology.

This feeling of powerlessness made Janet superimpose her favor on Rhea, and Rhea did not disappoint her. This girl who never gave up on herself has been working hard.

Rhea was admitted to Weber Middle School on her own, and she also got a scholarship. After "Lolita" was released, she not only won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series, she even won Here comes the Oscar nominations for Best Actress!

It's like a real dream chasing life!

Janet knows how important this award is to actresses all over the world, so she is very happy that Rhea has been nominated for a high-value award at such a young age, which is really amazing!

Probably only when her husband is recognized by the international scientific community can she surpass Janet's current joy, which is indeed a bit strange as Hank said.

Even if Rhea won the Best Actress at the age of 16, it has nothing to do with Janet van Dyne. Those honors and the accompanying praises and benefits have nothing to do with Janet, but she just can't help it for Rhea. feel happy.

This may be the charm of chasing stars, watching your favorite idols improve little by little, from the most humble place to the level that others cannot surpass.

Hank Pym's analysis is very thorough, and Janet herself can figure out what's going on, tearing away the exquisite and shiny costumes and makeup under the spotlight, what's under the package may be nothing more than countless interest exchanges and marketing methods. What makes a star different from others? Only ability and character can really distinguish people from each other.

However, Janet has been a little obsessed with this subtle pleasure of chasing stars recently,

It's like raising a daughter doll who is far away from her, and she doesn't need to expend any energy to expect to see good results from the other person.

Rhea will exceed her expectations time and time again, the perfect Golden Globe appearance, the natural and lovely reaction to losing the award, Rhea's smile is much sweeter than Sharon Stone.

It's good to be young, no matter what you do, you will exude a charming youthful atmosphere.

Seeing Rhea, Janet is now looking forward to shopping for clothes with her grown daughter Hope in the future. She will definitely dress Hope up beautifully.

After the rest time passed, she had to wake up Hope, who was taking a nap, and she also had a lot of things to do after that. Although Janet chose to focus on her family, she did not completely abandon her career.

Dreams are as important as life.

Of course, she is also looking forward to what Rhea will look like next on TV. The People's Choice Awards and the Oscars are both in March. Janet pays attention to the time. She may not be able to watch the live broadcast. But she will watch the tape.

Rhea's fans are looking forward to her Oscar, but Rhea herself is in a mess.

"How is this possible?"

Rhea sighed in shock before, and now she whispered to herself again in a soft voice. Fortunately, everyone sitting here knew that she was not really asking a question, so no one paid attention to her exclamation.

The Oscar nomination process is also very complicated. Academy judges have to select 5 candidate film critics for awards that meet their professional scope. The registered films will be sent to the judges in a registered manner, and then PricewaterhouseCoopers will be in charge of the Academy of Statistics Members' votes.

More than 6000 judges voted. The first choice in the first round of voting can get a nomination if it reaches the specified number of votes. The one with the fewest votes will be eliminated. If one choice does not reach the required number of votes, then the eliminated votes will be divided back to the first choice on the ballot.After repeated operations, the films with the top 5 votes will be nominated for Oscars.

The nomination for best picture involves selecting 10 shortlisted films.

Rhea's Oscar nomination for Best Actress was born during this operation. There must be many academy judges who put her in the top four of the five voting positions, so she might be included in the nomination list.

That's what she didn't understand.

Finding a place to talk in Los Angeles, Malloy, Ken and Rhea are in a meeting.

At this point, no matter how embarrassing Leo Mashaw, the director of Weber School, Rhea would have to ask for leave to get together with her team.

It is certainly impossible to explain these things clearly on the phone.

She raised her head and looked at the two men with serious expressions: "Could it be that after finding out that Sophie Marceau was not favored by the academy, Fox secretly arranged for me to be nominated for the Best Actress Oscar?"

Malloy quickly refuted her: "You think too much, they can't bear to spend the operating cost of Oscar's Best Actress nomination on you."

In fact, Rhea's guess is also reasonable. The Oscar has too much influence on the income of the film. Every nomination, even the most marginal nomination, can bring millions of extra benefits to the film. Therefore, major Hollywood production companies They all value the Oscars, and they "bet" every year by shooting and purchasing independent productions, and spend a lot of money to promote the film and expand its influence among the public.

The Oscar awards are voted by the academy judges. In order to increase the winning rate, the production company often adopts some special means, and it is an effective method to seize the judges' seats in the Oscar jury.

A big studio like [-]th Century Fox, one of the Hollywood giants, definitely has a wider network among the academy judges than Malloy and Ken.

It stands to reason that "Lolita" is the topical movie in the second half of the year, and it has also created a miracle at the box office. The popularity and influence of the movie among the public is no lower than that of "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13".

In terms of publicity, "Lolita" is even more successful than the previous two masterpieces. The controversy and topicality of "Lolita" have contributed to its success. The "Lolita" created by "Hollywood Reporter" for the film The word "effect" established the status of this film.

That's something epics like "Braveheart" and sci-fi classics like "Apollo 13" couldn't achieve.

But precisely because of this, "Lolita" also has its own irremediable fatal flaws. For the Oscar Academy, this movie is too slanted.

Fox executive John Neylen, who opposed Lolita, called it a cult.

From Fox's point of view, "Lolita" can stir up topics and bring box office. Can get more recognition than Lolita so why are they wasting extra on Lolita

.

With three Golden Globe nominations, they've been able to sell DVDs well.

Rhea didn't get nothing, the deal wasn't so unimaginable, and Fox didn't mean to throw away the Lolita they promoted.

Twentieth Century Fox is not just a production company, the company's operator and owner, Rupert Murdoch, has several newspapers, media and news corporations under his name, operating a sensational "Lolita" against Fox in the United States. It is not difficult.

But the question is how to ferment the "Lolita effect" at the lowest cost.

Julie Anchar's idea is very good, and Murdoch agreed with her to do so, but he didn't expect the final result to be so successful, after all, he didn't give Julie much support.

But later on, not only "Lolita" surprised him, but also Lolita herself exceeded his expectations.

"So what's going on?"

Fox didn't bother, Mario Caesar didn't have the capital, and Malloy didn't have the connections.

If it is an Oscar female supporting role, Ken Sanshan may still be able to operate, but the heroine is impossible to touch, and Rhea does not have such a strong background, and she has made it very clear.

Even Murdoch wanted to find out what happened. He looked at Julie Anchar, his subordinate whom he was very optimistic about recently: "Could it be that this girl has some connections with Oscar?"

Julie quickly gave him the answer: "I talked to Ted Field, and Andre Witter seems to be her manager."

"That young man, he really came to Hollywood." Murdoch shook his head inexplicably. "It can't be him, even if...he has nothing to do with the Oscar Academy judges."

"You may find it incredible." In another place, Malloy was analyzing what happened with Rhea, "It was Elizabeth Sue who pushed you out of Sharon Stone."

Rhea stared at him: "What did you say?"

"She's getting revenge on Sharon, Rhea, Best Actress at the Golden Globes, Elizabeth didn't even get a single nomination because she just gave up the Golden Globes, she knows which is more important to Sharon, she's going to Sharon Stone was knocked out at the Oscars." Malloy took a deep breath, "And guess what, everyone, everyone who wanted Best Actress at the Oscars wanted you to be nominated."

She was speechless for a while and Rhea really didn't know that she should be proud that she was loved by the actresses

Xing, she should still be frustrated by her irrelevant competitiveness.

Ken Sanshan also added a sentence next to Rhea: "They all know that it is absolutely impossible for us to win the Oscar queen with Lolita."

"There are only a few movies with outstanding female characters every year. Sometimes there are not many, and sometimes there are almost none." Malloy shrugged, "Your Lolita is not bad, Rhea , "Entertainment Weekly" Irving Gilberman gave you high marks alone, "Chicago Sun" Roger Ebert also praised you emphatically, and Stanley Kubrick claimed to like your performance !"

"In this way, the film critics scolded you but never picked on your performance. Could it be that the film critics like you, and the academy judges will hate you because you have an affair with a middle-aged man?"

Malloy looked determined: "I said it a long time ago, I believe in you."

Rhea rolled her eyes at him, and didn't listen to his afterthought, and didn't know who was so excited on the phone.

"Oscars also value fame and ratings. Don't think of them so lofty." Ken took over the words: "Your voice is not low this year. If it works normally, it is possible for the main newspaper to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress. I just didn’t expect Mario to make another deal with Fox behind our backs.”

"We are disappointed, but the other heroines are very happy." Ken spread his hands, "Because they don't know what we planned at the beginning, they only know that you are liked, and you will never meet the statuette , so your joining only means that you can squeeze out a competitor."

Malloy looked at her. "The question is who will be out."

They exchanged a glance, and Rhea asked in amazement: "You mean, whether it's Elizabeth Sue, Sharon Stone, Emma Thompson Meryl, or even Susan Langdon and Meryl Bill Streep was sure that his vote would be in the top three votes of the judges, and at the same time, he also confirmed my position."

Ken made a joke: "Maybe they also persuaded the judges in their own camp to rank you fourth. Even Meryl would not refuse another Oscar statuette."

"You're the one who makes the difference." Malloy smiled. "If you can squeeze Susan Langdon or Meryl Streep out—"

"Then this year's best actress is likely to belong to Sharon Stone."

Malloy retorted Ken: "Maybe it's Elizabeth's, they should really work together, but Sharon's in Kim

The trick played by the ball award has offended her thoroughly, and she would rather sacrifice Sharon. "

Even if Rhea had won some public relations awards before, she didn't calculate it that much. She looked at the two men: "Wait, can Oscar really operate so carefully?"

Isn't there any unexpected situation in this calculation method?Is Sharon Stone still willing to spend energy counting other people's votes when canvassing?

This is too exaggerated.

Rhea didn't quite believe that statement.

"This is just a guess after our careful discussion. After all, we haven't dealt with the judges, and we don't know the number of votes. But you have to know, this is the Oscars, and this is Hollywood. Nothing is impossible." Ma Roy raised an eyebrow.

As he spoke, he couldn't help being excited: "Whatever the judges think, the fact is that we have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress, and your first role can be Otto, and it is ours no matter what. victory!"

Ken judges her: "Huh, you've got to borrow another dress."

This sentence ruined all of Rhea's mood, and she turned to her agent: "Damn! Dear Matthew, tell me that you helped me get my compensation from them."

But Malloy was still immersed in the joy of the reversal, he murmured, "I'm beginning to believe in those sayings like luck, follow you, I will have good luck."

Rupert Murdoch is a little superstitious here too.

Hollywood is all about luck. Sometimes the movies produced by the big cast can be successful, but the little-known low-cost movies can make a lot of money. It is difficult for people to completely analyze the cause and effect of these failures and successes. The timing is wrong, and even the best movie won't be recognized.

The birth of the label "box office poison" shows how much the producers and theaters value luck. No matter how good an actor's acting skills are, if he can't make money, no investors will be willing to favor him.

Murdoch has achieved today's status. Any disturbance at Fox can affect tens of millions of losses. Every decision must be cautious, and he signed a contract with James Cameron, the director who can spend the most money and can make the most money to develop that record. Murdoch had been thinking about it for a long time when he was filming the film project of the huge British liner that sank in 1912.

In order to create a movie effect, Cameron also dived into the sea where the ship sank at that time. In order to arrange and restore realistic scenes, he wanted to try special effects. He wanted to build a boat on the set. Cameron had already started filming. a lot

spent money.

And Murdoch doesn't know how long it will take him to start the shooting plan. It has been 96 years, but Cameron is still working on his special effects and scene design.

As soon as the movie was launched, the agents of the major actors offered olive branches to the great director Cameron one after another, and the audition list was full of big-name stars, but Cameron was there to pick and choose, and he never made a final decision. Instead, he threw himself into the studio that was still under construction.

Let alone the 17-year-old Ruth and 20-year-old Jack that Cameron wants, Murdoch has not even seen the shadow of the two protagonist candidates.

Then Murdoch thought that Rhea is 16 this year, and the age is not much different, so he thought about asking Julie Anchar: "What do you think of Rhea Nolen?"

The author has something to say:

Sorry, I'm a little late for TT, there are some things recently, so the time is not very conservative, I beg the little angels to be considerate of the baby ORZ-the second update is still before midnight today.

There is a blind BB component in the part of Oscar _(:з」∠)_The boat started to be made in 95.
