Chapter 243 The Best and the Worst

Ronald and Diane crossed the street in front of Dorothy Chandler Hall together, not the first time they've been at the Oscars together.

The two looked at each other and smiled. The last time the two attended the Oscars together, Ronald also won the best original song. I hope this time will also have good luck.

Entering the hall, the two of them sat separately in the seating area of ​​the "Cotton Club" and the "Longwei Kid" crew.

Fortunately, neither of the two films received too many nominations. The locations were close together. After the two sat down, they were very close and could chat.

"Cotton Club" was nominated for Best Editing and Best Art Direction. "Longwei Kid" was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

"Francis doesn't seem to be satisfied?" Ronald looked at Coppola with an unhappy expression on his face.

"He was treated politely in Hair Country, here..." Di An said quietly.

"Did your crew give Morita Noriyuki any PR?"

"Weintraub asked Morita to attend a series of association awards activities, and I heard that the results were not satisfactory."

The Eastern Ying people are now fighting a trade war with America. The commander vowed to make Dongying pay the price and respect the rules of the game, especially in intellectual property rights and market opening.

Ronald knew that in this social atmosphere that hated the East Ying people for taking job opportunities, even if this year was the first year when Asians passed the Chen Guoren case and united to make their voices heard, it would be difficult for Morita to defeat the "killer". "Battlefield" Cambodian Chinese doctor and amateur actor Wu Hanrun.

After all, his experience was very tortuous and tragic, and in a social atmosphere conducive to Asians, it is obvious that he is more suitable to accept the award on behalf of Asians.

"Did you see this? It's the hottest ticket in LA, the Hollywood awards show, and people will do anything in exchange for this ticket..."

This year's host is finally not Jonny Carson anymore. Veteran actor Jack Lemmon took over the host's microphone, and he began to introduce the guest host.

Porn star Kathleen Turner, and black movie star Gregory Hines of the Cotton Club were both brought on stage.

The first award is the Best Supporting Actor Award, which is awarded at the beginning of each year.

The last best supporting actress Linda Hunt, is a very small woman, she often plays some old-fashioned roles such as teachers, lawyers, nuns.

"Nominated, Morita Noriyuki... Longwei boy..."

Ronald turned back to cheer Morita.

Morita's hair is still messy. After Longwei Kid's big sale, he kept the full set of Mr. Miyagi's style.

"You are the only one nominated by our crew. This is an affirmation of your acting skills." Ronald saw Morita's disapproval and stepped forward to comfort him.

"Thank you," Morita smiled bitterly. Although he ran various awards selections for several months, it seemed that the general trend was trending, and his probability of winning the award was about zero.

"The winner is... Killing Field, Wu Hanrun."

"Keep smiling," Weintraub reminded everyone, before showing eight teeth.

The camera of the live broadcast will scan the area where the nominees who did not win the award are located, and everyone will send a smile of "I didn't win the award, but he won the award and I am happier".

"Are you going to Las Vegas this year? Why don't you go with me, I have a plane." Weintraub found Ronald and said to him at the party after the awards show.

"I was going, Tom Cruise and I were going, and Paramount was going there to sell movies."

"Then we'll see you then." Weintraub was going to the movie ordering convention in Las Vegas to sell his "Sequel to Dragon Power Kid", which will be released next year, and take Ronald with him.

And Ronald's task on Paramount's side is even heavier. "Top Gun" is not a sequel like "Dragon Power Kid". To fight for a better filming and release schedule, it depends on how he and Cruise are in the cinema. In front of the buyers, show the charm of the movie.

"We're going to a show in Las Vegas and we're going to show some clips. What kind of footage would you like to cut?"

The next day, Don Simpson came over and asked Ronald, at the annual film exhibition, every booth, like Top Gun, had to edit some movie highlights to show. As for Longwei Kid 2, which is still in preparation, there are only some posters.

"It's McGillis and Cruise's romance, with some beach volleyball."

"Without air combat and aircraft carriers?"

"That part has not been carefully edited, and there is no shocking effect." Since CEO Mancuso targeted himself, Ronald has kept his back in editing.

"Without planes and aircraft carriers at all, it's hard for theater buyers to be convinced," Bruckheimer came to remind.

"Then add a shot of a fighter jet taking off." Ronald knew that he would put as little as he could.

"When I went to Las Vegas for a few days, I continued to let them do model experiments on the ground. As for the actual shooting of the sky, should I wait for me to come back?" Ronald looked at the two producers. Time to go to the Las Vegas show.

"Don't worry, we hired a second group of directors to take charge of some subjective shots. He hired the most powerful and experienced aerobatic pilots in America, so you can concentrate on helping sell the film." Don Simpson laughed.

Ronald returned home from a trip to Las Vegas to work as a salesman, and he always fell asleep easily during filming.

"Dangdangdang..." A hurried knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it?" Ronald thought to himself that this was not the knock on the door of Little Bud, it must be an acquaintance, and he didn't stop it. He quickly got up in his pajamas and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Diane, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with red eyes, rushed into the house, hugged Ronald and cried.

"Woooooo... Brother Ronnie, I'm done."

"What's the matter?" Ronald was startled, let Diane sit down and said slowly, what happened?

"They, they, nominated me for the worst supporting actress nomination for Raspberry."

"Oh, I thought something big happened to you, just ignore them." Ronald gave Diane a cup of black tea and comforted her.

"Brother Ronnie, since my debut, the media has always praised my acting skills, woohoo..." Diane burst into tears.

"Sir Lawrence Oliver complimented me on my acting skills in my first film 'The Sunset Bridge', and in the later films, even if they didn't do well at the box office, the film critics praised my acting skills. This time... This time...they actually gave me two worst supporting actress nominations."

"This...?" Ronald picked up the newspaper in Diane's hand. When the Oscars were presented, the new funny prize, the sour plum, also began to present awards.

Diane Lane was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress for both "Rage Street" and "Cotton Club."

"They're all messed up. Aren't you the heroine in these two movies?" Ronald found a blind spot.

"Huh? Really?" Diane stopped crying, just sobbing.

"Besides, you didn't win an award in the end, and you'll soon be forgotten." The worst supporting actress was an actress named Holly Johnson.

"Will the media really forget?" Diane stopped sobbing now, raised her head and asked Ronald.

"Sure, who will remember this kind of random nomination award? As long as it doesn't work."

"Oh……"

Ronald took the nominations and winners list and glanced at the nominations for worst supporting actress.

He was right, this kind of Golden Raspberry Award, it is impossible to list the characters with really poor acting skills, because the bad movies don't even have the chance to be released. Many nominations are for exposure, and they deliberately put some famous actors on the list.

"Look, even Shirley MacLean, the last Oscar winner, was nominated for the worst actress by them. How could MacLean's acting skills suddenly change from best to worst in a few months? , is grandstanding, you don't care about it at all."

"Well...but they gave me two nominations..."

"Don't worry, the audition opportunity that Lucas promised is waiting for you. Don't worry that he will give up on you for this kind of funny award."

Diane's father, Burt, is an acting coach. She has always been proud of her acting skills and is valued by the great director Coppola.

This time, it was a big blow to her confidence in her acting skills.

After finally persuading Diane, Ronald carefully looked at the list of winners.

The biggest winner of this year's Golden Raspberry is Ronald's old partner, Minahan Golan of Cannon Films.

His peerless bad movie, imitating the blockbuster "Perfect", and invited the same heroine Bo Derek's blockbuster "Bolero", won the worst movie, worst director, worst actress, worst script, And five "grand prizes" for the worst soundtrack.

There is also Stallone, who is also very unlucky to "win" the worst actor.

This golden sour plum is really getting more and more powerful. With the topic of Oscar, he even got sponsors to pay for the awards ceremony.

"Huh?" Ronald's eyes saw the best supporting actor, why is it Brooke Xiaosi?

Why is Brooke Shields a supporting actor?

"Because she's wearing a funny fake beard for her role as Dale in 'Sahara'." The newspaper stated the reason for the award.

I don't know if she will be sad.

...

"Ronald, I'm fine. They put me in the nomination last time, I don't care, I'm quitting the entertainment industry anyway, I just focus on the most important things, I must get a degree from Princeton."

"You say that, it seems that you have left the feeling of the entertainment industry."

"Well, now I only care about my majors. This time in Europe, I also met Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo. They all praised my French."

"I'm so happy for you, you will get what you want."

"Well, let's talk after I finish the exam."

Ronald hung up the call to Brooke Shields, she didn't care about the evaluation of the entertainment circle at all. When I went to the hair country to meet the two big stars, what I remember the most was the fact that the other party complimented her on her French.

It seems that Diane, who still wants to continue to use her acting skills to break into Hollywood, pays more attention to these things.
