Chapter 72: Real winner
The award ceremony continued. The Golden Globe Awards have not yet been influenced by Eric's ‘Butterfly’. There are no changes to the list of winners except for the two films related to him.
Like the original time and space, the best actress in the plot still has three yellow eggs. The guest who is responsible for the award, Michael Douglas, looks at the list in the envelope and hesitated for more than ten seconds without thinking. He thought that the organizer appeared. Oolong, the list of nominees was written on the envelope.
It wasn't until Michael received the suggestion from the organizers that he was safely able to read the list: "The best actress in the plot category is: Judy Foster, The Defendant."
Just under the stage, there was sporadic applause, and Michael quickly accelerated his speech: "There are also Sigourney Weaver, "The Fog Locks", and Shirley McLean, "Mrs. Sussacka."
Except for Eric, who had already predicted the results, everyone else was stuck in the vocal cords in an instant. The short pause was a few seconds, I don't know who took the lead and slammed the palm of my hand, and soon thunderously applauded in the Hilton Hotel International Ballroom.
In the applause, three hesitant heroines went to the podium and confirmed the list in the hands of Michael Douglas before they let go.
After getting the trophy, Judy Foster and Sigourney Weaver consciously handed the first voice to the oldest Shirley McLean.
Shirley McLean is an evergreen tree among Hollywood actresses, who are fifty-five years old. Debuted in the 1950s, his career in the 1960s and 1970s has won the best actress in the Oscars, the American Golden Globe, the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival. It was a great pity for Shirley McLean to not get the Grand Slam for the best actress at the Cannes Film Festival. I don't know why, Shirley McLean, who won a series of nominations and awards at other film ceremonies, didn't even get a Cannes Film Festival nomination.
Holding a trophy with a smile and walking to the microphone, Shirley McLean skillfully began the award speech: "This is an unexpected result..."
After the best actress, the best actor and best film did not surprise most people. "Rain Man" unquestionably won the two most important awards in the plot category. This film, which has been supporting the box office with award-winning and autistic topics, will definitely have a box office rebound.
Unlike previous lives, the current "Rain Man" was released for five weeks, and in the Christmas-New Year file, which is the easiest to harvest at the box office, only $40 million was credited.
In the parallel time and space, although the box office of "Rain Man" has not had any surprises, during the long-term screening of 25 weeks, only one weekly box office champion was won, and at other times, it was in the state of secretly entering the village to harvest crops. .
Fortunately, in the 'reaping' for half a year, "Rain Man" has not encountered a large collision, nor has it touched the box office dark horse. Tom Cruise’s box office appeal is constantly in the world. The localities took some small awards to create topics, which eventually led to the high-priced box office of "Yin Ren" of $170 million.
Now, this situation will definitely not happen again. The "Rain Man" is kicked out by the still strong "Little Ghosts" and "Returning to the 17-year-old", and the box office is lower. In this case, it is six months. The long-term screening period is unlikely, not to mention Eric's "Wind Beauty".
In fact, not only "Rain Man", but also in the movie released during the holiday season, "Dragon Brothers" and "Whiteheads", which are supposed to be in the top ten of the 88-year box office list, and the "Working Girl" who won the best film of comedy tonight. ", the box office is a lot less than the parallel space.
After all, there are so many people watching movies in the movie. In the last two months of 1988, the box office was worth about 600 million US dollars. The "Little Ghosts" and "Returning to the 17th" directly scraped away more than 200 million, exceeding the total amount. One third, the box office situation of other movies can be imagined.
After the director of Rain Man, Barry Levinson, took the stage to receive the best film award in the drama category, the three-hour live broadcast of the Golden Globe Award officially ended. All the stars present were relieved, and the stiff body after sitting for a long time, they got up and left the venue. Of course, they are not going to go home directly. Next, in the other banquet halls of the Hilton Hotel, there are a series of parties organized by major film companies.
Eric Carat was about to leave Drew, and Penny Marshall came over: "Hey, Eric, Fox has a party in the ballroom on the third floor, come together?"
"Thank you for your invitation, Penny, but I am afraid I can't go." Eric shook his head and refused.
Penny Marshall looked at Eric's expression: "Eric, you won't lose because you didn't get the prize? You are only 18 years old, there are still many opportunities. Look at me, not tonight. Go back empty-handed."
Of course, Eric will not feel lost. The ultimate goal of the PR award is for economic benefits. Let's see if the two best films are being released. At the box office, after all, "Little Ghosts" is the biggest winner this year.
"Of course not, Penny, in fact, because I have to get up early tomorrow, the schedule of "Feng Yue Qiao Jia" is very tight, I must hurry."
Penny reluctantly hugged goodbye with Eric: "Then I will see you later, you are so young, so what are you doing? I heard that you are busy late at night during this time."
Eric and Penny hugged: "Don't be desperate when you are young, do you have to wait for you?"
"Wow, the tone of your words is like a middle-aged man who has experienced vicissitudes. I really don't know how much you feel."
Eric smiled and did not answer, and with Tom Hanks and others, only with a reluctant Delu left the Hilton Hotel.
Launching the car on the road, Eric glanced at Drew, who was unhappy on the co-pilot. He smiled and said: "Okay, hoe, don't hold a small mouth, you didn't bring spare clothes, if you don't accidentally stain the dress, We can only pay the original price."
Drew wrinkled his small nose and learned the tone of Penny Marshall. "Wow, the tone of your words is like a middle-aged man who cares about it. I really don't know how much money you earn." Well."
"When you say this, I think about it," Eric frowned slightly. He looked up and down the girl who was not driving: "The day before yesterday I received the bill for the credit card I gave you before. I can't think of you to spend money. It seems that tomorrow, Kapoor will take you to do a drug test, if you let me down..."
Drus did not show any worried feelings, and the small body came over and looked eager to try: "Eric, what do you want to do, keep me in the basement, don't wear clothes, don't let dinner, and whip Wax, Trojan, wow, I don’t think you are so evil, the family has not yet grown up."
"..."
"Okay, okay, I confess. Before Christmas, when you were not at home, I invited some classmates to party, and I accidentally spent a little more."
Eric’s expression was a little lax, and he asked: “A party has so much money?”
"I still don't blame you," Shantou instantly became more confident: "You and Aniston got the beautiful street shot to cheer me up. When I was impulsive, I let the store send a box of 53 years of cypress. Tus."
Petrus, 53 years, also a special box!
I really want to pack up the bad guys according to the method that Shantou just said.
Eric unconsciously licked some dry lips: "All... finished?"
Drew suddenly flashed the green eyes and gently nodded: "Yeah."
"It’s not... I bought it with money... because of it..." Eric took a deep breath and finally found a place where people were ‘satisfied’: “Good things, good things.”
......
Wilch Hotel Restaurant.
Edward played the piano in the restaurant late at night. After the group negotiated with the hotel, the curtains were temporarily replaced with thick opaque curtains. The lighting masters were busy, creating a late night light scene.
"The actor is in place, action."
Under the panoramic lens, the waiters sitting in the restaurant were boring to organize things, smoke, and whisper.
Edward did not care if these people were listening carefully to their own play, deeply bowed their waists, their lips twitching, and the whole person exudes a deep exhaustion and boredom.
The rushing sound of the piano hints at the depression in Edward's heart.
Eric carefully looked at Al's performance on the monitor. His music quality was not high. He couldn't hear the level of Al Pacino's playing. He just thought that Al's solo was very smooth and the emotion in the lens was outside. It is also quite in place.
Looked at the soundtracker Howard Norton around him, the other party was specifically called to guide the shooting. If Al's playing is not satisfactory, Howard will be personally responsible for the soundtrack. However, from Howard's frequent nod, Al's piano solo made him very satisfied.
As time went by, Vivienne wearing a nightgown gently walked behind Edward, Edward's piano also entered the end. Vivienne's face was smiling and she listened to Edward's playing with her arms.
"Cut, very good!" Eric shouted and stopped, and couldn't help but swell, and the scene followed with sporadic applause.
