Chapter 224 The Enemy Meets



Chapter 224 The Enemy Meets
The Golden Globes don't have a host.The guests presenting the awards knew the order and came on stage by themselves, and they also came up with the speeches themselves.Some guests who drank too much champagne went berserk on and off the stage, and they had to rely on the stars to cover each other up.

So the Golden Globes has a position that other awards ceremonies don't have, Miss Golden Globes.Her task is mainly to remind the guests and winners to come to the stage, and also to drag them down when the guests speak over the time limit or get drunk and make a fool of themselves.

There is no acting requirement for this role, and its function is similar to that of a guide, anyone can do it.There is also a lot of camera time to take care of, which is usually a shortcut for stars to enter the industry.

However, this year's Miss Golden Globe is not the second-generation star, but the 27-year-old Rosanne Caton, a black model. This is also in response to the complaints that no black movie star has won awards during the awards season in the past two years.

The Golden Globes are combined awards for TV shows and movies.However, the trend in Hollywood now is that movie stars are of a higher level, so the TV drama awards are given out first. The CAA-dominated "General" is the big winner.

This TV series tells the story of a Westerner, John Blackthorne, who took a merchant ship to Dongying and was blown ashore in a storm.Then, with the assistance of Mrs. Mariko, the translator, he helped the Kwantung warlord Hu Yongyi win the battle of Sekigahara and unify Japan.

Ronald Guess Tiger Yongyi is the historical figure Tokugawa Ieyasu.Yoko Shimada, who played Mrs. Mariko, won the best actress in a TV series, and took the stage to accept the award in a traditional kimono.

Actor Richard Chamberlain also won the best actor in a TV series, only Toshiro Mifune who played the general did not win the award.Ronald has seen some Kurosawa movies, and Mifune is the protagonist.Perhaps because they were not nominated, the Dongying film stars did not come to the scene.

Ovitz, the president of CAA, planned the entire TV series, but Ronald searched for him carefully and couldn't find him.He still abided by the broker's traditional habit of not stealing the limelight from clients, so he didn't come to the scene.

Next came the awards for the films.Soon it was the turn of the best soundtrack.

"Nominated for Stuntman..., American Gigolo..., The Empire Strikes Back John Williams, Fame, Michael Gore..."

"Stuntman - Dominique Frontier for Best Score..."

Ronald comforts Michael Gore beside him.Gore smiled awkwardly. He thought John Williams was his biggest opponent, but he was robbed by the "stunt man".

After interspersed with several small awards, it is Best Actress in a Comedy Musical in a Film Category.

This is also the award for which Erin Cara was nominated.

"The nominees are Miner's Daughter - Sissy Spacek, Goofy Girl in the Army - Goldie Hawn, [-] to [-] - Dolly Parton, Famous - Erin Cara..."

"Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical goes to ... Sissy Spacek, The Miner's Daughter."

Ronald clearly saw the flames in Erin Cara's eyes flicker and go out.Goldie Hawn and Dolly Parton were not present today, and the award was actually chosen between Sissy Spacek and her.Producer Da Silva reminded at her side, "Smile, Erin, smile."

Sissy Spacek took the stage to accept the award. This southern girl who made her debut with "Witch Carrie" has transformed from a horror film into a biopic, playing the famous southern country singer Loretta Lynn.

Ronald noticed that there are not many cameras for the Golden Globes broadcast, unlike the Oscars that can capture the reactions of each nominated actor before the awards.The cameras on the stage just swept across the audience. Irene Cara might not get the chance to appear alone, but there was no need to smile.

Then there was Best Original Song, an award for which Ronald was nominated.

"The nominees for best original song in a movie are Nine to Five - Dolly Parton, Fame - Michael Gore, Ronald Lee..."

Ronald couldn't help sitting upright. He always felt that the Golden Globe Award was of little value, and writing lyrics was not his professional direction, but when things came to an end, he still hoped that he would win the award, and he was a little nervous.

"The winner is...the Universal Fame theme song, composed by Michael Gore, and lyricized by Ronald Lee."

"Please mention Irene, please." Producer Da Silva, who got up and hugged Ronald and Gore, whispered something in their ears.

Ronald nodded yes, and went to the podium with Michael Gore.

"Ah, it's two young people. When I first entered the industry..." The award-presenting male guest, who obviously drank too much champagne, was dragged off the stage by Miss Golden Globe and the sober female guest before he could finish his sentence. Give way to two winners.

Michael Gore spoke first:

"First I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which selected the winners of the Golden Globes on behalf of foreign journalists. Then I want to thank my partner Ronald, whose lyrics inspired me.

Then there's Erin Cara, who sang the song, whose rendition of the song made it a household name.And the producer Da Silva, and the director Alan Parker, they made the movie very well.Finally, I would like to thank my family, especially my sister Leslie for their support. "

Gore handed the microphone to Ronald.

Gore finished all the good words, and Ronald also took out his prepared speech, which was roughly the same as Gore's.But Ronald had anticipated this situation, and he calmly reversed the object of thanks.

"First I want to thank my family for their support...then Eileen Cara, who made this song even better...then Michael Gore, the composer, I got inspired when I heard part of the melody ...and finally thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association...”

The audience applauds.Ronald found that when the two were giving their award speeches, the camera on the stage was facing the audience. Presumably, both of them mentioned Erin Cara's name, and NBC would give her a separate shot.

The task was successfully completed.

The Golden Globe trophy is a golden ball surrounded by film, and the trophy is very small.After the awards are over, I will still have a bronzing award certificate with Ronald's name on it, which is also a good decoration at home.

Sitting back at the round table, Gore handed the trophy to Irene Cara who was eager to try. The little girl touched the trophy a few times in her hand, and put it back on the table as if she was afraid of fingerprints on the trophy.It can be seen that Erin really wants to win the award.

The fiery eyes were not only from Irene Cara, Ronald also stared at the trophy on the table when he found Demi Moore and the Israeli brothers. of.

The next award is Best Newcomer.Best New Actress went to Natasha Kinski.Kinski, who was dressed in a yellow dress, jumped onto the stage briskly and began to give his acceptance speech after receiving the Golden Globe.

"She's about to star in Coppola's movie 'Old Love, New Love'. So I won't mention Polanski." Demi Moore whispered softly in Ronald's ear.

No wonder, in Natasha Kinski's acceptance speech, she only thanked Tess's director without mentioning her name.

Best Newcomer Actor went to Timothy Hutton.

Ronald's face stiffened.

Baby-faced Hutton came to the stage to accept the award. Ronald was not interested in listening to what he had to say, so he took a gulp of champagne.

Demi Moore fetched him another glass of champagne, handed it to Ronald, and replaced his empty glass.She saw Ronald's displeased expression when he saw Hutton, but there is always natural hostility between young men, so Demi decided to take another look.

Best Director - Ordinary Man Robert Redford
Best Actress in a Movie (Series) – Ordinary Mary Tyler Moore

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture – Everyman Timothy Hutton.

"Ordinary People" smashed the Golden Globes, and Timothy Hutton scored another Golden Globe.

Demi Moore has now confirmed that Ronald did have conflicts with Timothy Hutton. Seeing him accepting the award for the second time, although he tried his best to hide it with a smile, he still showed a deep disgust between his actions .

The more than three-hour awards show was over. Ronald and Michael Gore took the Golden Globe trophy and went to the backstage to receive the award certificate.

Demi Moore took his arm and followed closely.The staff was preparing to engrave the lettering on the gilded copper sheet of the certificate. Ronald's certificate was finished first, and he and Demi went to the lobby to wait first.

At this time, media reporters were asking the stars to take pictures with the Golden Globes in the lobby.The Golden Globe Awards rely on stars to support their appearance. In order to have more stars to receive the award, they even set up two categories for the best actor and actress, drama, and music/comedy.

However, the Best Supporting Actors and Actors who generally do not belong to the star awards are combined into one category.

Ronald knew that his award was so-so, and there were no reporters to interview and take pictures, so he took the initiative to stand by and wait.

Unexpectedly, the reporter rushed towards the direction where he was standing, "Natalie! Bob, over here, please give us a smile? The two of you took a photo together."

"It's Natalie Wood and her husband, Robert Wagner," Demi Moore whispered beside Ronald.

Ronald also recognized it, and the couple walking behind them were both well-known stars.Natalie Wood was born as a child star, and later acted in many blockbuster films, and she looks somewhat similar to Diane Lane.Her husband Wagner, on the other hand, has a righteous face and has played many leading roles in TV dramas.

Ronald hurriedly took another half step back, while Demi Moore kept trying to show her face.

"Natalie, take a Golden Globe trophy, and put on that pose again," the reporter asked her and his wife again.

"Sorry, I can borrow it..." Natalie Wood looked back a few times, and smiled at Ronald, "Reporters always like to make fun of me."

She once won the Golden Globe Award for Best Newcomer Actress for "Rebel Without a Cause", and her photos holding the Golden Globe Award have been reprinted by countless newspapers and magazines.

"Of course." Ronald handed over his Golden Globe with a smile.

Natalie Wood was the center of attention, posing with Ronald's Golden Globe in her arms.Seeing her husband, Robert Wagner, getting a little snubbed, Ronald approached him.

"I like your TV series 'Pearl Harbor' very much, and I didn't expect to see you here."

"Oh, do you want to sign it?" Wagner didn't think about it carefully, and regarded Ronald as an ordinary fan.

Ronald was wearing a formal dress today, and he didn't bring the paper and pen that he usually kept with him, so he felt a little regretful and rushed forward to strike up a conversation.

"Here, please sign here." Demi Moore cleverly took out a notebook and pen from a somewhat old handbag, and asked Wagner to sign it. "

"Timothy, Timothy, can you take a photo with Natalie with the golden ball?" The reporter saw Timothy Hutton coming out of the hall again, calling for them to take a photo together.

Natalie Wood, who returned the Golden Globe to Ronald, raised her empty hand to indicate that there was no more trophy in her hand.

"It's okay, I have two." Timothy Hutton handed over a trophy, then put his arms around Natalie Wood, and the two posed for reporters to take pictures for a while.

"Goodbye, Boy." Natalie returned the trophy and put her arms around her husband, "Let's go, Bob." Then she nodded to Ronald in gratitude.

"Oh... Bob, he's still a boy..." Natalie's hearty laughter came from afar.

"Natasha! Miss Kinski!" The reporter discovered Natasha Kinski appeared in the lobby again, booing and asking the winner of the Best Newcomer Actor and Actress to take a photo with the Golden Globe Award.

Timothy Hutton and Natasha Kinski pose again for reporters.

Ronald was upset, and Hutton pressured him to lose his job as a writer for the Grease sequel.So he turned to Demi and asked, "I'm leaving, are you going with Natasha?"

"Hey, isn't this Ronald?" Timothy pretended to have just discovered the existence of the two, "Should we call the reporter back and take a picture together?"

Ronald knew that Timothy Hutton was using the reporter's pursuit to demonstrate to him, so he snorted, ignored him, and started to walk away.

Timothy was overjoyed and mouthed to Ronald, "Who's your Daddy?"

Ronald was about to fight back when Natasha Kinski spotted Demi Moore, "Demi, you are here, I was looking for you just now."

Demi Moore squeezed Ronald's arm a little tighter, "I'm with Ronald, Natasha, remember?"

"Of course, Ronald." Natasha Kinski hugged him happily.The audition photos Ronald took for him were excellent. Coppola saw the photos first, and then went to the cinema to watch "Tess". After seeing Kinski's acting skills trained by Polanski, he decided to use her as the actor The new female number two.

Now it was Timothy Hutton's turn to be upset.

"Natasha, we are going to the party soon. Didn't you say you want to meet director Robert Redford? And your girlfriend, let's go together. There are many people in the film and television industry to meet there."

"Yeah, party!" After Hutton, many handsome men and women came one after another, and they all made an appointment to attend the celebration party of the "Ordinary People" crew.

Natasha didn't know why, she didn't know the conflict between Ronald and Hutton, "Okay, Demi, can you come with me?"

The scene comes when Demi Moore has to make a choice.On one side is Ronald, a lyricist and film screenwriter, who knows some producers of small productions.

On the other side was the popular celebrity idol Timothy Hutton, and there was a chance to meet more people in the film and television industry at that party.

Demi Moore glanced at Natasha Kinski and the men and women around Timothy Hutton, and made up her mind.

"No, I have an appointment with Ronald...you guys have fun."
