Chapter 347

Time flies to this year's Oscars.

The red carpet is still the first battleground for all the actresses to fight. On the contrary, this year's actress crown has been locked in advance by Julia Roberts of "Never Compromise". This star has won the Golden Globe Award and the Screen Actors Union Awards, British Academy Film Awards-starting from this year, the British Olympic Games will be held before the Oscars, marking the official formation of the four major wind vanes of the awards season-and the best actress of the broadcast film critics and London film critics.

The inspirational character of the college's favorite biopic is a big hit at the box office, and the competitors in this year's acting awards department are generally weak, making Julia Roberts on the red carpet radiant and calm, even knowing the odds of the gambling website No one can stop her footsteps tonight.

By the way, this year's recognized best female performance is Joan Allen in "Requiem for a Dream". However, the film itself is very controversial, and it is a kind of luck to be nominated.

'Roberts has kidnapped the Academy! '

Such a huge headline full of gimmicks appeared in the newspaper a few days ago.

It is obvious that this year the academy has made no secret of its preference for this big star, as if to say: 'You are this year's actress, do you need us to send the statuette to your door in advance? '

For every female star of the same era, this is not a pleasant news.

Especially for Josie who is in the limelight right now.

It seems that there is a force hidden in the dark that is mobilizing its power, and it is going to promote Julia Roberts as the number one actress in Hollywood.

"Some people think that your recent behavior is a bit too much, and they want you to know that you have not really become the Queen of Hollywood." In the common room with people coming and going, Arthur M. Le bent his arms and lowered his voice to talk to Josie beside him, "From the very beginning, Hollywood is a place where there is no ethics committee. Of course, I don't mean to affirm this, but the competition and Stress magnifies the dark side of human nature and lowers people's bottom line. For decades, these unspoken rules have developed into the so-called 'rules of the game'."

The artillery fire of World War II caused countless people whose homes were eroded by the war to leave their homes and come to the United States. The scientists and artists among them have jointly created the grand occasion of Hollywood today, making it the center of world movies.

Whether it was then or now, becoming a movie star is still the dream of many young people. Hollywood has successfully marketed a lifestyle of luxury and pleasure to people-the most successful case is Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. —Fame and fortune seem to be at your fingertips.

Hollywood is full of beautiful babes dreaming of stardom.

Most of them are the result of happy education. Many of them have not even graduated from high school, and their basic three views have not been formed. They may be sought after locally, but they are nothing in Hollywood.

Want to be on top?

Oh, and for a lot of casting directors, directors, producers, and studio owners at the time, the easiest way to tell if an actor was right for the role was if they wanted to sleep with her/him.

For example, Marilyn Monroe once said: "Yes, I slept with the producer. Everyone does that. If you don't do it, there will be another girl waiting outside the door."There is one more sentence.I can't remember how many times I squatted down to unzip them. '

Today, after experiencing sexual liberation and the hippie movement, the efforts many people can make to become famous are enormous, and some small and powerful men at the bottom of Hollywood have no shortage of resources in this regard.

There are jerks like Harvey Weinstein who use sexual coercion to demonstrate their power, but most people prefer a hand-me-down deal.

Oversupply is the normal state of this ecological chain.

It can be said that unspoken rules were originally part of the Hollywood film and television entertainment system, and the history of Hollywood is a history of sexual assault.

So in this environment, Josie's behavior is undoubtedly deviant and very unreasonable.

"The rules of the game?" Josie chuckled, and said, "The rules of the game are made by those in power. The reason why they oppose me is not because I am wrong, but because I am not strong enough."

This delicate, elegant, slightly fragile black-haired beauty hooked the corners of her lips, deepening the smile on her face, and from the cornflower-colored eyes, there was a sharp and Ambitious light.

Obviously, encountering difficulties did not make Josie feel even the slightest bit of frustration, but aroused her competitive spirit.

"It's the 21st century, and Hollywood's behind-the-scenes decision-making power should not continue to be concentrated in the hands of a few men." Her voice was soft and her tone was slow, but it was this that gave people a sense of calmness, "This not only allows unspoken rules to prevail , and objectify the female characters on screen so badly—Hollywood tradition? I think you understand, Arthur, that no tradition is unbreakable in this industry.”

Arthur Miller's face was calm, and he didn't make a clear statement on this, but said: "Actually, if you want, you don't have to bear this."

In front of Josie, it was originally a smooth road leading to legend.

At her age and with her accomplishments, Hollywood and the world will remember the name "Josie Horton" - in fact many acting school textbooks have appeared - even if she ends her career from this point on .

With her own strength, she has raised the standard of superstars of this generation to a level that is difficult to surpass. Whether it is starlight, awards, or actual performance, there is one and only Josie Horton who can compete with those veteran superstars who have been in the industry for many years.

Contrasting Leonardo DiCaprio horizontally, none of the latter's three films after "Titanic" achieved enough amazing results, and his own selection of films is still too literary and artistic, and he has not been able to achieve it for the time being. balance between commerce and art;

Compared vertically with Julia Roberts, who was the most beautiful at the awards ceremony tonight, Roberts, who has debuted for many years, has to be said to be inferior in terms of commercial value—only action movies and science fiction movies are the real heavy industries in Hollywood—romantic comedy actresses face The transition issue is always very embarrassing.

Moreover, after winning an Oscar, audiences and film critics will raise their standards even higher, which is also a huge problem.

And all of this has already been resolved here with Josie.

She is the youngest Oscar-winning actress in film history, and she is a box office myth that has won many times. For many movie audiences around the world, "Josie Horton" has become a guarantee for a good movie.

That's why Arthur Miller said that she can completely let herself live a relaxed and happy life, instead of bearing the pressure that she shouldn't have to bear.

"But I don't want to." Josie looked back with a serious look, "I don't want to live in a world that just passes by and looks on indifferently. This will make me feel that the precious humanity in me will also be annihilated."

In some ways, she admits she is somewhat idealistic.

Of course, most of the time, she is calm, rational, and interests-oriented. Some people think she is an "arrogant little girl", which is actually inaccurate, because her arrogance and willfulness are just another way of pretending to be tough. Always know what you are doing and what you want.

And her contradiction is that she is doing something that a daydreamer would do while clearly holding the script of a cold-blooded careerist.

This is contradictory.

But isn't the fascinating thing about human beings the self-contradiction of human nature?

"Oh, human nature—" Arthur Miller sighed softly, "Hollywood is one of the largest testing grounds for human nature in the world, I hope you can always maintain the kindness of this moment, maybe this is why Martha chose you The reason."

Martha was perhaps the child most like him and the least like him.

In Martha and the young girl in front of him, Arthur Miller had a rare glimpse of something very rare and exceptionally pure, which has almost disappeared in the current age of luxury and luxury.

Arthur Miller didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The PR lounge was getting more and more crowded.

Dressed in a black and white dress, Julia Roberts came slowly among the crowd, with her signature big smile on her face, the first time she saw Josie and Arthur Miller, she took the initiative to come over and was extremely excited. Greet them warmly.

"Arthur, Josie, how are you? My dear friends!"

"Hi, Julia."

"Wow, your dress is so beautiful, what brand is it?"

"Thank you, this is Gaultier."

"Oh, genius, it's really great." Julia Roberts smiled. "Arthur, congratulations on winning this year's Gene Hersholt Humanitarian Award. I don't think anyone is more suitable than you."

With a smile on her face, she said a few words to Arthur, and then turned to look at Josie.

"By the way, I took "I Am Sam". Ron Meyer called me personally, and the script is too touching—I guess, you shouldn't mind, Josie?"

Hearing this, the smile on Josie's face remained unchanged, and her tone was calm and gentle: "Why, Julia, or do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about everything?"

"Haha, of course not, my dear, you are too kind." Julia Roberts laughed loudly again, bright and charming, completely superstar aura.

Her laughter attracted the attention of other people around, making people feel that the relationship between her and Josie seemed to be very warm.

However, as soon as he turned around, the curvature of the star's mouth tightened imperceptibly, and he lost that fresh vitality in an instant. The standard was as if it was measured with a ruler, and there was no smile left. fundus.

Behind her, Josie watched as Julia Roberts and her party merged into the crowd.

Her smile was faint from beginning to end, and it seemed to be a smile that was not a smile, which was unpredictable.

Will Julia Roberts be the biggest opponent of her next career?

Maybe so.

But what does it matter?

For Josie, the job of acting is increasingly driven by interest rather than fame and fortune.

Therefore, a little more challenge is not a bad idea.

"The Best Picture winner at this year's Oscars is—"

""Gladiator"!"

Veteran Oscar winner Michael Douglas’s voice resounded in the auditorium tonight. The heroic epic "Gladiator" produced by DreamWorks finally won the Oscar this year. The three producers on the list gave their acceptance speeches excitedly. It marks the end of the awards ceremony.

Without a doubt, Gladiator was the biggest winner of the night.

Although before that, many people predicted that Russell Crowe and Meg Ryan's earth-shattering extramarital affair might affect the choice of the college.

But it turns out that no one can really understand Grandpa Oscar's heart.

At the last moment, the scandal-plagued Russell Crowe defeated Tom Hanks to become the Oscar winner. In addition, "Gladiator" also won three technical awards and some nominations.

The Chinese-language film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which Miramax promoted this year, also gained a lot, but Ang Lee, who won the National Film Critics Award for Best Director, lost this award to Steven Sorrell of "Drug Network". De Berg, I have to say it's very regrettable.

——If you want to win this award, it is not enough to only have the reputation of film critics, and what is more important is to be recognized by your peers.

In any case, the celebration party is the best part after the Oscars.

The Vanity Fair party is almost the same every year. It is worth mentioning that this year, DreamWorks Pictures and Tianji Pictures gathered together, and they are as friendly as brothers and relatives.

The current CEO of Skynet Media, Jeffrey Katzenberg, is satisfied with this.

He tapped the champagne glass with the fork in his hand, and the crisp sound made the hotel's reserved hall gradually quiet down. Most people followed the reputation and showed a listening look.

"Guys, I have to say we've had amazing success over the past year..."

"We have cooperated with the most talented filmmakers in the world and released some impressive films. More importantly, this big family has officially joined a new family member after going through last year's run-in, not only With passion and vitality, it also makes us stronger."

"In the next year, we will continue to produce and produce films, including the unparalleled Lord of the Rings series, "Artificial Intelligence", "Mulholland Drive", and the ongoing "The Trap 2", etc. Wait, I am personally full of confidence in the arrival of the new year..."

"Now, let's have a toast!"
