Chapter 210
When Josie came out, she ran into Ernest who was looking for her. The latter glanced at her lightly and reminded, "The awards ceremony is over."
Josie already knew about it, nodded to him, and asked, "Want to go to the Vanity Fair party?"
"No, I'll go directly to Columbia." Ernest paused, and then explained: "It doesn't mean anything else, it's just meaningless socializing that makes me feel bored."
His attitude towards Oscar is very flat, and he has no longing for a life in Hollywood. He just finished his routine work and is ready to fly back to London to retreat and create in the countryside.
And the Vanity Fair party is the most lively social occasion tonight. Maybe a project can be negotiated in a few minutes, or a role can be won in a few words, but this obviously has nothing to do with Ernest.
He is already a cutting-edge director recognized by the industry, many film companies want to recruit him, Sony Columbia and Fox have offered him olive branches, but he is quite cautious about his second work I don't want to talk about how to make a movie without a script.
At this moment, Eve chased after Josie. She was busy dealing with the interview scripts just now. After finding Josie, she looked at Josie from head to toe and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was safe and sound.
"It's finally done." Eve asked, "What did Harvey tell you?"
"Something boring." Josie replied casually.
"He's really ruthless." Eve curled her lips, "Forget it, he beat the big three down, and there will be a good show to watch."
People outside are leaving the theater, some of which will go to Vanity Fair's Oscar night for the occasion, as well as the various parties that are destined to last all night tonight.
This time of year is the carnival of Hollywood.
After asking Josie herself, Ernest didn't insist on playing his gentlemanly demeanor, but went to the Colombian party first-that was his unavoidable social, and they had a grand celebration for the movie party.
Josie joins her women's army, and non-staff Jason is the only member of the opposite sex.
Well, surprising but true, the agents, publicists, producers, stylists, and even assistants and their assistants hired by Josie turned out to be young women.
The assistant Eve brought was a slightly plump girl with a round face who looked like she had just graduated from college.
"Josie, congratulations!" She mustered up the courage to say to Josie who was touching up her makeup.
"Thank you—" Josie glanced at her in the mirror, "what's your name, sweetheart?"
She actually called me "Sweetheart"...ah no, ask me my name!It's all like a dream!
"Melody, my name is Melody!" The intern assistant's cheeks were flushed, and she didn't expect Eve's client to be so accommodating.
Josie smiled, and said, "Thank you, Melody, I remember."
"Stop exuding charm, baby, you're really dangerous like this." Eve pushed her assistant away from behind, and gave Melody a glance, "You, get out of here, get out of this room and do your own thing .”
"But……"
"No but." Eve emphasized, "Find that poll with a computer, I want to see it before we leave for the Vanity Fair party."
The Vanity Fair party is near the Grand Avenue, and it can be reached quickly even if you walk from the Chandler Hall where the awards ceremony is held, but as a female star, Josie must go back to the hotel suite for a change of look because of her professionalism.
Josie basically doesn't charge money for red carpet looks now, she only chooses what she really likes, so those brands are scrambling to get her to wear their clothes, on the one hand because she is very popular, on the other hand Let the brand appear more stylish.
Generally speaking, brands are willing to pay more than 10 US dollars for this, and provide dress sponsorship for popular stars on the Oscar-level red carpet, and the star's stylist will also take an additional 20%-[-]% of the cost. Therefore, it is always difficult for small brands that cannot afford this fee to stand out on this occasion.
For example, Josie's current market price is as high as 30 million U.S. dollars, and it's just the price of a dress.
Because she is a popular candidate for this year's Oscar queen, and she is a big star with excellent temperament, many brands are very willing to pay a lot of money for those few minutes of live TV broadcast, which is more effective than any commercial. .
The price of the Vanity Fair party is much lower. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of exposure.
Josie's second look is a one-shoulder dark green dress from Atelier Versace. This brand is Versace's advanced customization series. Because the designer himself is obsessed with paper-cut elements, the skirt has a very beautiful hollow design.
Oscar night is far more light-hearted than an awards ceremony, with the gloomy exception of the cast of Saving Private Ryan.
Tom Hanks and Matt Damon, who starred in this film, did not stay here to chat and laugh, and left early after making a hasty appearance. Ben Affleck.
And Steven Spielberg's face was as deep as water, sitting with his friend Harrison Ford who was in charge of presenting the best picture tonight, and in front of him was the statuette that belonged to the best director. What joy.
"Tonight taught me a lesson I will never forget." Steven Spielberg smiled wryly. "I shouldn't have taken the whole thing too idealistically. It was my fault."
When Harrison Ford took the stage to present the award, most people thought that Saving Private Ryan would win tonight, because the Academy has always had the tradition of inviting friends of the winner to present the award.
In fact, even Harrison Ford himself thought that Steven Spielberg would win when he decided to present the best picture award earlier.
However, it was "Shakespeare in Love" who had the last laugh.
The most ridiculous thing is that this costume romance film produced by Miramax is not the "best" of the five nominated films no matter how you look at it.
The list of winners has been released, and public opinion has exploded. Some people even think that this is a sign of the coming end of the world...
In any case, the most unexpected and controversial award results in Oscar history did happen.
Whether it is "Shakespeare in Love" which won the best picture after defeating the soldiers, or Judi Dench who won the best supporting actress with an 8-minute performance, Miramax's public relations fee of more than 1000 million US dollars is indeed not in vain, even if Their leading lady, Gwyneth Paltrow, was scandal-ridden in the final voting stage.
Harrison Ford did not give unnecessary comfort, but asked: "What are you going to do next?"
"We are looking for the goal of going to the Olympics next year." Steven Spielberg was very frank about this matter, and did not deliberately hide anything. "Dreamworks must conquer the Oscars, and it needs an exciting victory."
Hollywood, however, did not want to see DreamWorks win.
Those giant studios can allow Miramax to manipulate the Oscars, and they can also allow Tianji Films to use capital to clear the way, because one of them is a literary film label affiliated to Disney, and the other does not even have its own distribution channels, which is not enough to grow into a towering big tree.
But DreamWorks is different.
The existence of Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg has made DreamWorks rise at an alarming speed. If this continues, it will be several The first and only new Hollywood giant in a decade.
This is something that Disney, Warner, Universal, Paramount, Columbia, and even MGM, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, cannot allow.
That's why Miramax has the confidence to compete with DreamWorks on the Oscar stage, and Sony Columbia turned to discredit Steven Spielberg at the last minute.
In fact, without the knowledge of the other two, David Geffen had already begun to consider leaving DreamWorks, because he was very keenly aware that the road to becoming a movie tycoon was not as simple as they thought, and It is full of thorns and undercurrents.
As Thackeray said: This is Vanity Fair, a place of diabolism, vanity, and stupidity.It's full of lies, hypocrisy, and ego, and while it's bustling, it's immoral and joyless.
"Don't be so sad!" Harvey Weinstein pulled Gwyneth Paltrow into his arms with all his strength, warning in a low voice in the latter's ear.
Gwyneth Paltrow has changed her clothes and touched up her makeup, but she obviously cried a lot after the Oscars ceremony, and her expression inevitably reveals a little haggard and dazed.
She doesn't want to be here.
I don’t want to face the proud Harvey Weinstein in front of me, and I don’t want to celebrate the victory of "Shakespeare in Love" with these people, even Judi Dench, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress tonight, this old British woman The affectionate and sycophantic attitude towards Harvey Weinstein made her feel sick and almost nauseous.
"I didn't, Harvey." Gwyneth Paltrow tried slightly to break free from Harvey Weinstein's grip, "You hurt me. Can you let me go?"
Harvey Weinstein licked the corners of his lips at her, which made his already ugly face even more sinister.
Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't help but flinched, and lowered her eyes to avoid the other party's gaze.
Harvey Weinstein is well aware of the source of his discomfort with Gwyneth Paltrow, but that's precisely where his pleasure comes from.
Gwyneth Paltrow forced a smile and said, "Harvey, I have to go say hello to my godfather."
"Ha, yes!" Harvey Weinstein gave a short laugh, pointing to his own cheek, "Give me a kiss, sweetheart, and you'll be free tonight."
The main creative members from the crew of "Shakespeare in Love" let out lively laughter. Gwyneth Paltrow looked around the scene in a panic, but found that each of them had a playful and contemptuous look on their faces , without any emotion of sympathy or disgust.
And Ben Affleck, who was most likely to help her, left long ago.
"Stop dawdling, honey, don't you still want to find your godfather?" Someone behind her pushed her, "But you have to know that your godfather is dead, and Harvey is our god!"
Harvey Weinstein didn't urge him either. He even waved his hands to let those people go away a little bit. Leaning on the back of the sofa, his greasy eyes seemed to strip the blonde in front of her naked on the spot.
"Sit here." Harvey Weinstein pointed to his thigh, and said in a tone that could not be refused: "It's just a kiss, Gwen, let's end this cleanly."
