I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 72: real winner

Views:

The awards ceremony continued. This year's Golden Globe Awards has not been affected by Eric's 'butterfly'. Except for a few more nominations for two films related to him, the list of winners has not changed in any way.

Same as the original time and space, three yolk eggs still appeared for the best actress in a drama category. The guest in charge of presenting this award, Michael Douglas, looked at the list in the envelope and hesitated for more than ten seconds before reading it out. He thought that the organizer had appeared He made an oolong and wrote the list of nominated actors on the envelope.

It wasn't until Michael received a hint from the organizer's staff that he read out the list with confidence: "The winner of the Best Actress in a Drama Series is: Jodie Foster, "The Defendant."

Just as sporadic applause erupted from the audience, Michael quickly sped up his speech: "There is also Sigourney Weaver, "The Mist", and Shirley MacLean, "Mrs. Susatska."

Except for Eric, who had already expected the result, everyone else seemed to be stuck in their vocal cords in an instant. There was a short pause for a few seconds, and it was unknown who took the lead in clapping the palms, and soon thunderous applause resounded throughout the Hilton Hotel International Banquet Hall.

Amidst the applause one after another [ , the three heroines who looked hesitant walked up to the podium and confirmed the list in Michael Douglas' hands together, before they were relieved.

After receiving the trophy, Jodie Foster and Sigourney Weaver consciously handed over the first speech to the oldest Shirley MacLean.

Shirley MacLean is an evergreen tree among Hollywood actresses, already fifty-five years old. She debuted in the 1950s, and her career flourished in the 1960s and 1970s. She has won Best Actress in the four major film events of the Oscars, Golden Globes, Venice Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival so far. It is also a great regret for Shirley Maclean not to win the Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival to achieve the Grand Slam. For some reason, Shirley MacLean, who has received a string of nominations and awards at other film ceremonies, has not even received a Cannes Film Festival nomination.

Smiling as she walked up to the microphone with her trophy in hand, Shirley MacLean deftly began her acceptance speech: "What a surprise..."

After best actress, best actor and best picture did not surprise most people. "Rain Man" unquestionably won the two most important awards in the drama category. The film, which has been relying on awards and autism topics to prop up the box office, is sure to see a box office rebound next.

What is different from the previous life is that the current "Rain Man" has been in theaters for five weeks, and in the Christmas-New Year file, which is the easiest time to harvest box office, only more than 40 million US dollars have been earned.

In the parallel time and space, although the box office of "Rain Man" has never been amazing, during the 25-week long-term screening process, it only won the weekly box office championship once, and the rest of the time was in the state of sneaking into the village to harvest crops .

But fortunately, in the half-year-long "harvest", "Rain Man" neither encountered a blockbuster collision, nor encountered a dark horse at the box office. Various places took some small awards to create topics, and finally created a high box office of 170 million U.S. dollars for "Rain Man".

But now, this situation will definitely not happen again. "Rain Man" was squeezed by the still strong "Home Alone" and "Back to Seventeen" at the beginning, and the box office dropped. In this case, it won six months. It's unlikely that the long-term release period of the film will be released, let alone Eric's "Pretty Woman".

In fact, it's not just "Rain Man". Among the movies released during the holiday, "Dragon Brother and Mouse Brother" and "The White-Headed Detective", which should have been among the top ten box office charts in 1988, and "Working Girl", which won the best comedy film tonight ", the box office has shrunk a lot compared to Parallel Space.

After all, there are only so many moviegoers. During the holidays in the last two months of 1988, the box office totaled about 600 million U.S. dollars. One-third, the box office situation of other movies can be imagined.

After "Rain Man" director Barry Levinson took the stage to receive the best picture award in the drama category, the three-hour live broadcast of the Golden Globes officially ended. All the stars present breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies stiffened after sitting for a long time, got up and left the venue one after another. Of course, they didn't mean to go straight home. Then, in other Hilton hotel ballrooms, there was a series of parties hosted by major film companies.

As soon as Eric pulled Drew to leave, Penny Marshall came over: "Hi, Eric, Fox has a party in the banquet hall on the third floor, do you want to come together?"

"Thank you for your invitation, Penny, but I'm afraid I can't go." Eric shook his head and refused.

Penny Marshall looked at Eric's expression: "Eric, you are not disappointed because you didn't get the award, right? You are only eighteen years old, and there are still many opportunities. Look at me, isn't it the same tonight? Go home empty-handed."

Of course, Eric will not feel lost, the ultimate goal of the PR awards is still for economic benefits, just look at the two best films are movies that are currently being released. As for the box office, after all, "Home Alone" is the biggest winner this year.

"Of course not, Penny. It's actually because I have to get up early tomorrow. The schedule for "Pretty Woman" is very tight. I must hurry up."

Penny hugged and bid farewell to Eric helplessly: "Then see you later, you are so young, why are you working so hard, I heard that you have been busy until late at night during this time."

Eric hugged Penny: "If you don't work hard when you are young, don't you have to wait until you are old?"

"Wow, your tone of voice is like a middle-aged man who has gone through vicissitudes. I really don't know where you are so emotional."

Eric smiled and didn't answer, and said goodbye to Tom Hanks and others before leaving the Hilton Hotel with a reluctant Drew.

Started the car and started on the road, Eric glanced at the sullen Drew in the co-pilot, and said with a smile: "Okay, girl, stop pouting, and you didn't bring spare clothes, if you accidentally dirty your dress at a party, We can only pay the original price.”

Drew wrinkled his little nose, imitating Penny Marshall's tone just now and said teasingly: "Wow, you said this in a tone like a middle-aged man who cares about everything, I really don't know that you earn so much money to do it Well."

"When you said that, I remembered it." Eric frowned slightly, and looked up and down the girl who was not driving: "I received the bill for the credit card I gave you earlier the day before yesterday. I didn't expect you to spend so much money. , it seems that Kapoor will take you for a drug test tomorrow, if you let me down... "

Drew didn't show any worry at all, and leaned over with a small body, with eager eyes in his eyes: "Eric, what are you going to do, lock me in the basement, don't give me clothes, don't let me eat, and I have a whip , dripping wax, Trojan horse... Wow, I didn't expect you to be so evil, and the Lun family is not yet an adult."

"..."

"Okay, okay, let me confess. Before Christmas, when you were not at home, I invited some classmates to a party, and I accidentally spent a little too much."

Eric's expression was a little more relaxed, but he still asked, "How much money does a party cost?"

"It's not all your fault," the girl instantly became confident: "You and Aniston took that beautiful street photo to annoy me. On impulse, I asked the specialty store to send a box of cypresses from 1953." Tooth."

Petrus, 1953, what a box!

I really want to punish this prodigal little bitch according to the method the girl just said.

Eric unconsciously licked his dry lips: "All... finished drinking?"

Drew blinked his beautiful green eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Finally it's not... I bought it with money... Hekayin..." Eric took a deep breath, and finally found a little 'comfort': "Good thing, good thing."

Wilshire Hotel Restaurant.

The scene of Edward playing the piano in the restaurant took place late at night. After the crew negotiated with the hotel, they temporarily replaced thick curtains that were completely opaque. The lighting engineer worked hard to create a late-night light scene.

"The actors are in place, action."

Under the panoramic shot, the waiters sitting scattered in the restaurant are arranging things, smoking, and chatting in low voices.

Edward didn't care whether these people were listening to his playing seriously, he bowed his waist deeply, his lips were slightly pursed, and his whole body exuded a strong sense of fatigue and boredom.

The rapid sound of the piano hinted at the depression in Edward's heart.

Eric watched Al's performance carefully on the monitor. He is not very musical, but he couldn't tell the level of Al Pacino's playing. He just thought that Al's solo was smooth, and the emotions in the camera It is also quite in place.

Looking at the soundtrack composer Howard Norton beside him, the other party was specially called to guide the shooting. If Al's playing is not satisfactory, Howard will be responsible for the soundtrack himself later. However, judging from the frequent nodding of Howard, Al's piano solo made him very satisfied.

As the time progressed, Vivienne in a nightgown walked gently behind Edward, and Edward's piano sound came to an end. With a smile on her face, Vivian folded her arms and listened quietly to Edward's playing.

"Cut, very good!" Eric shouted to stop, and at the same time couldn't help clapping, and sporadic applause followed.
