Chapter 222 Golden Globe PR
The script Spielberg sent is a sequel to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which continues the story of the relationship between humans and aliens.The difference is that this time the alien is a child, and the people interacting with him are also a group of human children.
The atmosphere of the whole script is relaxed and cheerful, as if a child is imagining the world of adults.The alien is named ET, and he became good friends with a group of children on the earth. Finally, with their help, he returned to his parents and left the earth.
"It is suggested to delete the role of 'bad guy' among children, and let normal adults act as obstacles for ET to return to their parents. It is difficult for children's imagination to think that their peers are a bad guy who specializes in bad guys...
It is suggested to add some chase scenes, let the protagonist Elliott ride a bicycle and take ET to escape the obstacles of adults, and the children's audience needs their own "drag racing" scenes.In the limit of children's imagination, imitate the car chase..."
Rick Nisita, quickly had Ronald's typewritten reading comments.
"So soon? I thought you'd have to read it for a while before giving me an opinion."
"I think the first reaction after reading is the most authentic and valuable?" Ronald laughed.
In fact, Ronald was not telling the truth.The script that Spielberg saw didn't have too many dramatic conflicts, like a children's play.Ronald had no experience writing children's plays.
It was hard for Ronald to imagine what it would look like when it was filmed. Of course, this was a script that Spielberg liked, and he couldn't write down his real thoughts. .
"Okay, I'll give it to Spielberg's assistant, Catherine."
Rick Nisita may have guessed Ronald's idea, and Universal's president Tom Mount is not very optimistic about the script.Spielberg's last directorial work, the comedy war film "1941", failed to recoup the production cost at the North American box office, and Wonder Boy seems to have lost its box office magic.
The director's new work "The Lost Ark of the Covenant", which will be released this summer, is directed by George Lucas, and Spielberg is only the director.Universal still wants to see it again.
His assistant, Katherine Kennedy, is responsible for finding a producer for this new script. Maybe if Universal can't, Frank Price of Columbia will be willing. After all, he is the only president of a major studio who personally read the script.
"One more thing, the copyright fee for RSO Records has been settled. You wrote the lyrics for the two songs on the Universally Famous Simultaneous Disc. The sales of the single of the theme song Fame are good, and the sales of the album with the soundtrack of the movie are also good. It has sold gold records.
RSO boss Robert Sternwood specifically told CAA that he also wants to work with you on a new teen screenplay. "
Ronald curled his lips. The Grease sequel matter is so dirty. Sterwood didn't even struggle. Universal invested nearly [-] million yuan. Of course he is willing. His two versions of the script were just abandoned. Lying in the Paramount and Universal script warehouses eating ashes.
"The composer of Fame, Michael Gore, wants to invite you to compose his new song. Don't you agree?"
Ronald shook his head. After all, the lyrics were copied, and he didn't know how to fill in the lyrics.
However, Michael Gore still wanted to meet. David da Silva, the producer of "Famous", specially invited him to meet with Michael Gore, saying that he had important matters to discuss.
On the second night, Ronald went to the appointment on time. The handmade suit fit him very well, and he was covered with a woolen overcoat. People depend on clothes, and the doorman who opened the door gave him a second look.
"Oh, Ronald, great to see you in Los Angeles." Living in the hotel's executive suite was David da Silva, a well-known producer, a little bald again.At his side are the leading actors of the first film, and the lead singer of the theme song, Erin Cara, and his manager.
"Long time no see, hello, David. Hello, Irene." Ronald took off his coat and greeted the two main creators, as well as Michael Gore, who sat next to him and wrote the soundtrack and composed all the episodes.
"Congratulations, Michael. Your soundtrack has gone gold."
After several people exchanged pleasantries, David da Silva proposed the purpose of inviting the songwriter.
"The Golden Globe Awards Organizing Committee called Erin and I. Erin Cara's biggest competitor, Dolly Parton, did not agree to attend. The best original song in this movie is likely to belong to the famous theme song. 'Fame'."
Congratulations from Ronald and Michael Gore.This is the case with the Golden Globe Awards. Whoever the star is willing to be present to accept the award, they will award the award to whomever.
"So I hope that if you win the award, you can mention Erin Cara's name when the award is presented.
She's also nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, though there's a tough competition for that category, with Sissy Spacek.She played country singer Loretta Lynn and sang all the songs in the film herself."
The Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song is awarded to the songwriter. It seems that David da Silva spent a lot of money in order to make Erin Cara, who is also of Puerto Rican descent, popular.
This year's Golden Globe Awards, "Fame" won a total of four nominations, the best film nomination belongs to the producer, the best musical actress belongs to Irene Cara, and the best original song is sung by Irene Cara of.
Director Alan Parker, Barry Miller, who was originally very popular, didn't even have no nominations for Best Director and Best Supporting Actor.
Except for the best soundtrack, the four nominations are all related to the public relations of producer Da Silva.
Ronald and Michael Gore looked at each other and agreed.Anyway, just to mention, there is no problem.
"Great, this is very important to Irene Cara, we want to thank you." Irene Cara's agent took the initiative to hold Ronald and Ronald's hands, and thanked them heavily.
After returning to his hotel, Ronald said to his agent Richard.
"I don't understand, why is it so important to mention her name? Is it worth telling us in person?" Ronald was a little puzzled.
"It's for an Oscar nomination."
"Oscar nominations? What does that have to do with the Golden Globes?"
"The Golden Globe Awards is a dinner party for stars. The reason why NBC can broadcast the awards is for the sake of the stars present." Richard worked hard at CAA and gradually understood the unspoken rules of these awards.
"In fact, he was originally an insignificant award, but now there are more and more nominations for Oscars, and each award has 5 nominations. Many judges who voted could not watch so many movies.
The Golden Globes are right in front of the Oscar nominations.Most of the judges will watch the awards dinner, so the stars who have a shot at the dinner will get more attention from them.There are many small awards such as the best original song. If a scene flashes in the live broadcast, it is likely that many Oscar judges will remember it.
When voting, among the several nominated candidates, they happen to remember your appearance, and there will be many more votes out of thin air. "
"Oh, so Michael Gore and I won the award, and when we gave the speech, we mentioned the singer Erin Cara, the broadcast director of NBC, and gave a close-up of her?"
"Bingo!" Richard smiled and turned on the TV.
Erin Cara again, the black girl in another variety show, singing "Fame."
"Now this song is very popular on TV stations, and many TV stations have invited her to sing by name." Ronald said.
"That's the producer David Da Silva's hard-working promotion. Every show is going to sing." Richard laughed.
"Huh? It's hard work, isn't it?" Ronald asked.
"Da Silva wants to take the opportunity to shoot the version of the TV series that is famous all over the world. The box office of the movie is not satisfactory. If he wants to get the contract of the TV station, he must build momentum. It is best to win at the Oscars."
"That's true." Ronald took a sip of water.MGM encountered financial difficulties, and "Fame" actually didn't get many marketing opportunities. The box office of 2000 million was all due to word-of-mouth among young audiences.
But with a budget of 850 million and some marketing expenses, the North American box office of 2000 million is not outstanding.No wonder producer David da Silva is so nervous.
"I haven't attended the Golden Globe Awards ceremony yet, is there anything I should pay attention to then?" Ronald asked Richard.
"At the Golden Globe Awards, each production team sits at a round table. Famous all over the world does not have too many heavyweight nominations, and only a round table is given at the back. You still need to compete with others.
There is champagne on site, remember not to drink too much.When the time comes, remember to wear a dress and which pocket to put your acceptance speech in. "
"Hey, I won't forget." Ronald patted his pocket with a smile.
