Hollywood Hilton Hotels

The 66th Golden Globe Awards has been away for a year, and this year it can be said that the stars are shining brightly, and the style of the past has been restored.

At the last Golden Globe Awards, because the Screenwriters Guild started a strike, the entire awards ceremony had to be downgraded to a one-hour long press conference.

For the first time in the 65-year history of the Golden Globes, there will be no red carpet, no awards show, no dinner and party, just an awkward press conference.

Many big-name stars have announced their collective absence from the awards ceremony.

The "Godfather of Hollywood" Spielberg will also postpone the removal of the lifetime achievement award trophy he got that year.

But this year is different.

Big-name stars almost came out in full force, and the flashing lights on the red carpet kept shooting.

Unlike Hollywood stars, these people who are locked in the spotlight in Hollywood Vanity Fair are different.

As a real behind-the-scenes worker, Yan Ruxin naturally didn't want to join in the fun on the red carpet and expose herself to flashing lights.

As the chairman of ya capital, the major shareholder of Summit Entertainment, the name of Angela Mellon, who will turn 3 in March...

But it has been completely remembered by Hollywood!

Her unique vision, the acquisition of old-fashioned methods, and the controversial film investment... were played up by the media.

Even business people who don't usually pay attention to entertainment news can see her news on the financial pages of the "Wall Street Journal".

Even so...

But the magazines and newspapers discovered that they didn't even have a picture of this Angela Mellon!

This is simply impossible!

The paparazzi are going to explode!

Are you kidding me?

Having been in the industry for so many years, I don't even know how many big-name celebrities have had sex with each other.

It's only a matter of minutes before they want to know which movie boss has a lover or a porn star.

This group of the most professional paparazzi in the United States, and even the world, couldn't take a picture of a little girl?

It is really unreasonable!

Next to the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards, reporters from various newspapers and magazines in the industry rarely gathered together, eagerly waiting for the superstars on the red carpet.

In their spare time, they inevitably communicated with each other and shared some complaints about this elusive "Hollywood upstart".

"This girl really knows how to play. Every time I make an appointment for a negotiation, I go straight to the office, and leave as soon as I finish talking. The information I received is too late." The reporter of the "National Enquirer" said.

"Isn't it? You can't even shoot? I thought we were the only ones who couldn't catch up. The last time we received the material for the casting of "The Hangover", we were already going to kill it. When we got there, we found out that they had already taken the president's elevator to get there. The garage, I don’t know where it went.” The paparazzi on the entertainment page of the Los Angeles Times said.

"What are you doing? You know she's still in college right now. We checked her schedule and stopped her when she was in class, and guess what?"

"She's so good at making money, why don't she go to it?"

All the reporters leaned over curiously, listening to the story of this gossip tabloid reporter, even the photojournalist who was still on the red carpet, taking pictures of the red carpet. Couldn't help leaning over to listen.

"No, she is never absent, but her classmates don't even know that the Angela Mellon in the school is the one in the newspaper. Even after we explained it, no one knew where to find her. "The gossip reporter looked hopeless.

"It's true. We checked many places. We only know that there was a fire in the place where she lived before starting the company, but the place where she lives now can't be found at all. Isn't it strange?"

"Hey... the most disgusting thing is that she doesn't participate in any activities, and she doesn't want to show off at all. You think she looks ugly, don't you?" A reporter speculated maliciously.

But he was slapped in the face in the next second: "What? I have a friend who is a staff member of Warner. The last time I saw Angela Mellon, he said that she is a real beauty with long legs and is very kind to people. Not arrogant at all, my friend has already become a fan."

"...I heard that she already has a fan base. Although she hasn't posted a single blog post or photo on K and Instagram, she has more than [-] fans." Another reporter added.

"Don't tell me, my little niece just told me yesterday that if I see her, I will ask her for an autograph. You must know that I gave her the photo of Justin Bieber's autograph before, and she used it as a bookmark."

"Angela is really amazing. At such a young age, she is already on an equal footing with many filmmakers, and I interviewed Warner people before, and I feel that they all have good evaluations of Angela."

At the end of the discussion among these reporters, Lou no longer knew where he was going.

However, the conclusions reached by everyone are--

Angela Mellon is really a windy girl!

One second it was a gothic romantic youth movie, the next second it was an R-rated comedy, the next second it was an inspirational drama, and the next second...

No one knows which movie she will choose to invest in, or where she will appear in the next second,

Where is Angela Mellon, Yan Ruxin, whom countless paparazzi have been obsessing over?

When the stars are walking the red carpet one after another, trying to win a page in the newspaper tomorrow with their dazzling dresses...

The staff brought Yan Ruxin into the ballroom of the Golden Globe Awards and guided her to sit at the table.

She smiled and nodded to the directors and celebrities already present.

She had never met most of the people in the banquet, and among them, although she could remember their names by virtue of her memory, there were only a few of them that she was really familiar with. seen her.

But these Hollywood big-name movie stars, directors, and celebrities, since they were told that this seat is reserved for Angela Mellon, who has never shown her face under flashing lights, have expressed that not only do they not mind, but they are looking forward to it.

They also want to see what kind of person this Hollywood investor who has been in the limelight recently but is extremely low-key is.

"Ms. Mellon doesn't seem to come from the red carpet. Such a beautiful dress and a figure that is more attractive than a Hollywood actress are wasted." The black-haired woman sitting next to her said with a slight smile.

"To each other, Ms. Thomas, just call me Angela." Yan Ruxin blinked and replied with a smile, "A qualified behind-the-scenes worker doesn't need to rely on appearance to get ahead. You can obviously rely on your appearance to make a living, don't you?" Does it also depend on talent?"

"Haha, Angela, just call me Emma." Emma Thomas was overjoyed, no one doesn't like to hear compliments, especially interesting compliments from someone who is good enough, it's even more pleasing, " You still say that you are the real one who can rely on your face, but rely on your talent, your current achievements, but people of the same age dare not even think about it?"

Peers?

Yan Ruxin smiled in her heart, she was wearing a 20-year-old girl's shell, but she was actually a mature woman over 25 years old, she didn't dare to say that about herself.

When the name Emma Thomas is mentioned, most people probably won't immediately recognize who it is.

But when it comes to Emma Thomas' husband - Christopher Nolan, anyone who has probably followed the movie, no one will know this name that resounded around the world in 2008.

A movie that can at least be called unprecedented - "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Christopher Nolan, Hollywood god!

Before this, no one thought that a superhero movie adapted from comics could be shot in such a way, that it could achieve such extreme darkness, possess its own spirit, and arouse deep resonance among people.

The degree of realism of the film, and the reflections on the ultimate evil and the ultimate justice it arouses... Its value has surpassed the original work in the eyes of Yan Ruxin, the audience.

And no one thought that a character in a movie could have so many possibilities.

The protagonist representing justice is a lone traveler who can be lonely, coming from the darkness, and the anti-social villain, who can interpret the complexity and contradictions of human nature, good and evil, purity and madness to such an extreme...

People can't help but sigh the shocking effect of the screen art presented by movies.

And Emma Thomas is not only Nolan's wife, but also his queen producer.

The two are both alumni of the University of London, and Emma Thomas has worked in the film industry for several years after graduation and is an experienced self-produced producer.

After chatting for a while, Emma Thomas suddenly asked: "Which character in "The Dark Knight" do you like the most?"

Yan Ruxin turned her head to think about it, and at the same time found that Director Nolan, who had been sitting silently next to Emma Thomas, seemed to be paying attention to their conversation.

It seemed that he wanted to hear her opinion.

Yan Ruxin watched this movie with Marcos, not long after they moved to their new home.

If you say her favorite character...

"Clown." Yan Ruxin replied softly.

She has to admit that although the clown in the play is a villain, it is impossible not to like it.

"Oh? Why?" Christopher Nolan joined the conversation.

why?

This is a question that seems easy to answer, but is actually not easy to answer.

And then into the current scene.

This is a movie director at the level of a god, asking a question to a potential investor.

Then the answer to this question needs to be considered even more.

"It's not so much that I like the clown, an anti-social criminal, but I like the purity and extremeness he represents. Of course, I am opposed to violence and killing in any sense. But as an audience, the contradictions and conflicts in the clown are more important. It can shock me and make me think about many things that I usually ignore." Yan Ruxin replied, "I think if evil is an art like painting, music, and movies, the clown will probably be a peak artist..."

The Joker said to Batman in the film: "You'r (in people's eyes, you are a monster like me)."

When he said it, he didn't feel that evil was fundamentally different from justice.

The clown is not evil for money, not for power, nor for any extras other than evil itself. He is an evil artist who has broken away from low-level tastes, and pursues a higher level of evil itself.

Evil is harm, it is crime, and sometimes the process of justice does the same.

Evil acts recklessly and breaks the system, but Batman, the representative of ultimate justice, has power beyond ordinary people. Is this power itself a kind of wantonness?

But Batman, a character with strong moral constraints and a kind and righteous heart, has this power.

Will the one who is born be the next lawless villain?

If someone other than Batman uses a monitoring device to break the system, will he not be able to restrain himself from using it to commit crimes because his heart is not strong enough?

"...He is indeed a consummate artist, and so is his actor." Nolan said a little seriously.

"Sorry, I'm very sorry." Yan Ruxin also looked sad.

Apparently her answer reminded Nolan of Heath Ledger who played the Joker.

It was Heath Ledger's acting skills that made this ultimate clown, but because he was too involved in the play, Heath Ledger couldn't bear the pressure after the play, and committed suicide by taking a sedative at home before the film was released up.

"It's okay, it's over." Nolan shook his head. He looked at Yan Ruxin with distant eyes and said, "He played the clown in my heart. I don't think anyone can surpass him!"

Emma Thomas obviously blamed herself a little: "...If we could have helped him at that time and guided him out of the character, maybe he could still sit here and chat with us today."
