Movie Master - Chapter 1006
Between her fragrant clothes and her temples, Dorothy Wright smiled gracefully while holding a glass of champagne. The light purple dress was radiant under the ice blue light. Not far away, Julie in a white dress Aya Roberts said goodbye to Reese Witherspoon, and then walked quickly towards Dorothy, with her trademark big mouth smile, she leaned forward slightly, and then gave Dorothy two stickers. Face to face, he said apologetically, “Please forgive my impoliteness, I didn’t come over to say hello until now, I hope the party tonight didn’t disappoint you.”
“No, of course not.” Dorothy also showed a big smile, waving her hands again and again, “Everything is fine tonight, I just met Penelope, and both of us were full of praise for the ice sculpture fountain, Mark The whole person is lying on the ground, drinking the champagne flowing down, that picture can’t be seen anywhere else.”
“Mark Wackerberg?” Julia frowned, showing a look of surprise, and after getting Dorothy’s affirmative answer, she shook her head again and again, “That **** guy, when Meryl comes, He knows what can be done and what is best not to do.” Although she was cursing, Julia’s face was filled with joy, which made Dorothy laugh heartily. Julia looked around, “So, isn’t Lance planning to come over tonight?”
“Oh, poor Lance, there was an accident on the set yesterday. Edward was practicing that new technology, electronic capture, etc. He fell down countless times, his knee seemed to be contused, and the machine also had some malfunctions. I’m having a headache about these things.” Dorothy naturally showed a corresponding regret on her face, and shook her head, “This afternoon, he made a special trip to San Francisco and wanted to have a face-to-face discussion with Industrial Light & Magic’s technical team. .It is estimated that he will not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.”
Julia covered her chest and expressed her regret, “Poor Lance.” Then she shook her head lightly, “I don’t know anything about electronics, so I won’t get to the bottom of what’s going on today. It’s a real pity that he wasn’t there tonight. But maybe that’s why he’s able to make those amazing movies, isn’t it?” Julia sighed, “Honestly, I’m really looking forward to his presence tonight. My sister-in-law and brother are here, and they want to thank Lance personally. You know, for that little Emma.”
“Lance knew that you would be concerned about this matter. When I called him this afternoon, he sent me a special trip to greet me and hope that the little girl is well.” Dorothy handled such a topic like a duck to water and relaxed Zi Yu, “If you really want to thank him, when the premiere of his movie is held, I hope you can come to the red carpet to show your support in person. He thinks this is a good deal.”
“Haha.” Julia was completely amused, her hearty laughter was undisguised, “He’s such a cutie, isn’t he?” It is estimated that the whole of Hollywood will comment on Lance in this way, Julia is the first one, After suppressing her smile, Julia looked back at the lively crowd, and continued, “Actually, I originally planned to introduce some old guys to Lance, you know, they can still be talked about in Hollywood. “
Dorothy suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Julia thought Lance was a “cute guy”. The old guy Julia mentioned must be a senior member of the college. She wanted to open the situation for Lance’s college public relations tonight. Simple premiere attendance carries far more weight.
Julia’s eyes fell on the white-haired old man sitting on the sofa not far away. Every strand of white hair could be clearly counted on his bald head, but these sparse white hairs were neat and fitting, meticulous, he Sitting next to them are Bill Condon and Beyoncé, the main cast of “Dreamgirls.”
With the release of the Golden Globe nomination list, all the information about “Dreamgirls” has been picked up. This work was filmed by DreamWorks and Paramount, although Steven Spielberg did not serve Producer, but the lead producer Laurence-Mark (Laurence-Mark) is an old bone in Hollywood. “Mr. Sweetheart” and “As Good as It Gets” are all his works.
Tonight is Julia’s private party, and the main cast of “Dreamgirls” can receive invitations. Obviously, their personal relationship with Julia should not be underestimated.
“Robert-Reme (Robert-), the former president of the academy, rarely walks around anymore, but his influence is still deeply ingrained.” Julia briefly introduced, and Dorothy immediately matched the name with the image in her mind , this well-known producer, was elected as the chairman of the Academy twice around the 1990s, the first time was from 1992 to 1993, and the second time was from 1997 to 2001. After retiring, in the past few years, Rarely shows up.
The academy has also experienced many changes in the past and this year. The famous director Frank-Pierson (Frank-Pieron) stepped down in 2005, and the former president of Paramount Sid-Ganis (Sid-Ganis) took over. In trouble, last year it was “Brokeback Mountain” and this year it’s “Fury Road”. It’s just that Dorothy didn’t expect that Robert Reme was actually invited out. It seems that the public relations situation of the academy this year is far more chaotic than imagined.
Julia turned around and said meaningfully, “I think there should be a lot of common topics between him and Lance.”
Dorothy shook her head with a bit of bitterness in her smile, “Of course, Lance is very happy to meet new friends. But I’m afraid this year will be more difficult.” The words were a bit obscure, and Julia immediately read the strangeness and raised her eyebrows ,”How to say?”
Dorothy shrugged, “Need to say? Lance violated the interests of some people.” Dorothy’s eyes fell on Julia, “Your experience should be clearer, isn’t it?”
Memories of those struggles played in Julia’s mind. It is true that Hollywood actresses are more or less discriminated against. The saddest thing is that the discrimination is not deliberate, but inadvertently revealed. The discrimination hidden in the bones of Hollywood is everywhere, and Julia has experienced it personally. But, so far.
When Julia auditioned for the part of “Pretty Woman,” the first thing Julia said was, “Whom do I have to sleep with to get the part.” That was no joke; in the early ’90s, Julia and Meg Ryan was America’s Sweetheart, but tired of being treated like an object, she rebelliously eloped with Lyle-Lovett; when she returned in 1995, it was the same Her eyes almost overwhelmed her. If it hadn’t been for the unexpected success of “My Best Friend’s Wedding”, which is generally looked down upon, her career might have ended long ago.
The same thing, if a man does it, it is a wind/flow/rhythm/thing, and if a woman does it, it is morally corrupt. Julia was deeply hurt by this.
Dorothy’s words reminded Julia of the accusations she encountered when “Fury Road” was released, but she was an outsider at that time, watching all these changes calmly, but because of Emma Roberts’ accident, she and When Lance became friends, things naturally began to change, “Why do you say that? Isn’t the matter already resolved? What’s more, Lance has many supporters in the circle. As far as I know, Mei Li Ernie has made no secret of her support for Lance.”
Meryl Streep publicly stated in an interview that among the many works this year, she has a soft spot for “Fury Road”. Meryl’s support undoubtedly has appeal in Hollywood, which is a big plus for Lance’s academy PR.
Dorothy showed a playful smile, “Julia, you should know how big the difference is between the outside and the inside of Hollywood. I’m not talking about Meryl, but…” Dorothy paused for a moment, After considering his words, “‘Brokeback Mountain’.”
“Brokeback Mountain” can be said to be the best in the awards season last year, and the voices are overwhelming. Almost everyone agrees that this work is the best candidate for the best picture, even “Hard Candy” is not there On the same level—as for the hype about those matchups, it’s all media work. But what about the result?
This is Hollywood. On the surface, everyone is supporting political correctness, because it is related to their public image. They must bury their true thoughts and create a perfect image; but when it comes to voting, how many people are willing to vote? How about ticking “Brokeback Mountain” on your own voting card? How many people are willing to admit that they are homophobic? What’s even more sad is ~www.mtlnovel.com~ How many homosexuals are willing to admit themselves and vote for “Brokeback Mountain”?
It’s easy to say, but extremely difficult to do, and “Fury Road” is no different. If an actress publicly chooses to support “Fury Road”, expresses her dissatisfaction, and goes one step further to vote for “Fury Road”, then she is likely to be rejected by major film companies, or even be cast by an agent. The company hides because she has to learn a lesson and know “what can be said and what cannot be said”. Of course, this is only for most first- and second-tier actors, not top actors like Julia and Meryl.
Everyone knows that only in unity can there be a way out. It is impossible for blacks to fight for their own rights by relying solely on Martin Luther King, but the question is, how many people have enough courage to stand up?
Julia understood Dorothy’s thoughts in an instant, was silent for a moment, and then let out a long breath, “It’s time we should stand up, isn’t it?” Just one Meryl is not enough.
“Julia…” Dorothy’s tone was a bit heavy. “Standing up” is not such a simple thing. It is against the tradition, power, and inertia of the entire Hollywood. situation.
Julia smiled and shook her head, stopping Dorothy from continuing, “I’m not for Lance, to be honest, I’m for myself.” The rights and interests of actresses are closely related to every woman. Even if the actors don’t stand up, how can we expect the situation of those low-level actresses to change? Immediately, Julia laughed, “Of course, don’t tell Lance that. I’m still waiting for him to owe me a favor.”
