I’m in Hollywood Chapter 124: Oscar

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

The next day, "Hollywood Reporter" used a full four pages, and the full text published "Caa Revelation: How the Brokerage Giant Was Formed." Eric is neither a rare manuscript fee of 1800 USD nor wants this Fake name, more importantly, he could not explain the source of the detailed information in this article, so he posted it anonymously to the newspaper.

The publication of this article immediately caused a huge wave in the Hollywood circle. The limelight almost overshadowed the 61st Oscar Awards that will be held in a few days.

If most of the previous forces were still immersed in the pleasure of discrediting caa, now they suddenly calm down and focus on this "caa revelation". In the following days, the entire United States media was boiling, and this highly professional article was reprinted one after another, and even a large number of papers studying this article appeared.

After reading this article, Hollywood's other Brokerage Firm executives found out why they couldn't stop the rise of caa. The majority of Film Studio also fully understand why their production costs will rise again and again, and they can't refuse this trend at all. Michael · Ovitz saw this article almost at the same time as newspaper was published, and it took him half an hour to read the article with his eyebrows twisted, even if he could n’t help but shoot the case, the article ’s discussion on the business radius of manager is almost It coincides with his recent thoughts, and it has to be ahead of schedule. It is precisely because of this idea that he tried to participate in the acquisition of Sony and Columbia some time ago.

But immediately after the shooting, Ovitz was so angry that he couldn't be more irritated, and even had the idea of ​​killing. Because this article is equivalent to putting the business strategy that CAA relies on directly in front of all competitors, CAA's opponents can only paradoxically imitate CAA's bundling strategy before, and it is not clear about the complicated operation process involved. With this article as a reference, as long as those competitors are a little more ambitious, they will definitely make a series of reforms to themselves, even if they cannot completely imitate the caa model, but they will no longer be in the face of the expansion of caa. force.

Unfortunately, although "Hollywood Reporter" deliberately made a statement in a prominent position on the front page to find the author of the article, there was no response.

Two days after the article was published, wma's CEO stated in public that if the author of this article wishes, wma can pay 5% of the shares in exchange for the other party to join wma as a Vice Chairman position. Although the size of wma is now surpassed by caa in the past, but the other party is a hundred-year old Brokerage Firm, the size is not much different from that of caa, and the share value of 5% is also tens of millions of USD. On the same day, someone came to wma with the "manuscript" of the "caa apocalypse", followed by a farce.

Under this storm, caa changed again. Tom · Hanks followed Tom · Cruise and several other a-level celebrities and chose to change jobs again, and the other party's target this time was neither wma nor icm. Those large-scale Brokerage Firm, but Eric's individual holding size is not revealed uta (joint elite Brokerage Firm).

Moreover, Hanks did not leave alone. He did n’t know what method was used. He persuaded caa, a gold medal manager who had been in charge of his brokerage affairs, to join him.

This has caused various speculations in the industry. The caa gold manager is not so good. Most of them start from the most basic mail receiver and climb up step by step. In a period of more than ten years, it is necessary to prove their strength and accumulate sufficient qualifications to achieve the gold medal manager with an annual salary of one million. Once the manager of Hanks is gone, it is equivalent to giving up all the previous qualification accumulation, even if he returns to CAA again in the future, even if he has the strength of no less than any gold medal manager, he can only climb step by step from the bottom manager .

Under the witness of Kapoor, Hanks himself, Hanks manager Simon · Will Xun and Los Angeles, a well-known notary agency, Eric and Hanks secretly signed the contract promised by Eric. Of course, Hanks kindly did not let Eric set up 100 million USD gambling fund. For the job-hopping of Hanks.

The only thing CAA can do is to ask Hanks for a small amount of liquidated damages and 《Running Out of Time》 ’s compensation. After Hanks and Firefly signed the Actor contract, Cruise learned that Hanks's remuneration conditions, as expected by Eric, made a big concession in the share, and finally the day before the Oscar ceremony, the two parties quickly signed a contract to pay 5 million USD And 5% of North America profit is divided into joining 《Running Out of Time》, this condition fully meets the expectations of Eric. 《Running Out of Time》 finally determined that the boot date was April 5th.

On March 29th, after more than a month of preparations, the 61st Oscar Award Ceremony was officially held in the Los Angeles Holy Citizens ’Auditorium.

Eric will also serve as the best supporting actress awards guest. It is said that the organizer originally planned to invite the newly married couple Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, although Don Johnson is not very famous, However, Melanie Griffith jumped to the position of first-line actress with a 《Working Girl》 this year. Unfortunately, Melanie Griffith is destined to be unable to compete with Eric. After Columbia contacted the Oscar organizer, the other party quickly gave up the Melanie Griffiths and chose the more famous Eric.

"Eric, will you look at me again, is there any problem?" Slowly driving towards Lincoln car of Oscar red carpet, Virginia turned nervously to Eric, and the girl did n’t dream that she could walk on Oscar red carpet, cheek so quickly Both were slightly red because of excitement.

Eric patted the little hand of Virginia: "Okay, you are beautiful, Vicky, relax a little."

The girl was still not confident. She reached out and gently touched her finished hair, remembering another thing, and asked, "Well ... Eric, if" Tin Toy "won the award, you really let me go up instead Is someone receiving the award? "

"Of course," Eric nodded: "I do n’t want to know what the first award I received on stage was the best Oscar animated short film."

Because John · Lasseter, who should have come to the awards ceremony, has been invested and decentralized by Eric, it is now completely in a state of workaholics, and ca n’t wait to live in the office of Pixar. If it was not Oscar, an invitation letter was sent to Richmond John · Lasseter almost forgot the short film shortlisted for Oscar. But after receiving the invitation letter, John · Rasay called directly and said that he was too busy to walk away. If the award was won, let Eric help to get it.

Eric did not give much advice. In the future, Pixar animation will almost be the overlord of Oscar animation awards, and this time is not bad. The reason why Pixar declared this award was mainly because it hoped to get more business for Pixar by winning the Oscar award. At the same time, Eric also didn't want to get the first trophy on the Oscar podium by himself. It was the best animated short film of Oscar, so the opportunity to show his face was given to the girls around him.

As he said, Lincoln stopped at the entrance of Oscar red carpet, and the fans could hear the call from afar.

Eric first walked down car, turned the other side of car, and extended his arm very gentleman, letting the girl hold herself, and slowly walked towards red carpet at the prompt of the staff.

Perhaps the actress was born red carpet creature. Virginia, who was still very nervous in the car, walked up to red carpet, and soon relaxed, gently holding the arm of Eric, following him step by step, rushing to the crowd from time to time Beckoned, showing a charming smile.

There are still seven or eight meters away from the movie fan area, and someone found the figure of Eric, and then the shouting sounded, and there were also a few girls 'Eric, I love you' and the courtship sound, compared to red carpet The stars who are generally over 30 and older, Eric's youth and handsomeness undoubtedly have a huge advantage.

In addition, he participated in the "17 Again" not only recently downgrade, but also has a large number of fans in the youth group. If it is not for the staff to maintain order, maybe someone will directly rush to red carpet, this kind of thing has not happened. Eric slowed down, nodding with a decent smile on the fandom, and then screamed with a female voice.

Unconsciously, she even has a fan. Eric felt a little emotion in her heart, holding Virginia to continue to move forward, the girl around her was slightly lost, because no one called her name, she even noticed the audience. The hostility in the eyes of the young girl fans did not converge until the media area in front.

"Eric, look here!"

"Here, here."

"Eric, Virginia, can you get closer, please?"

Compared to fans who only care about their favorite stars, the reporters in the media area easily recognized Virginia, but they have long heard that Virginia is about to participate in a Firefly investment and Eric is personally responsible for a screenwriter movie.

Hollywood has developed to today, and many things in the circle are already clear rules. If an obscurely beautiful Actress or even a handsome male Actor suddenly gets an important role in a movie, then many people will subconsciously ask: she (He) Who has slept with? These beautiful actresses or handsome men get a chance for no reason, they must pay the price, and for them, apart from their body, they can't do anything. And most people will not look down on these men and women, only envy their opportunities.

In the eyes of the reporters, the blazing fire of gossip shined, and while holding Eric and Virginia as close as possible, they pressed the shutter frantically.

Finally through the media area, while ABC reporter caught Michelle · Pfeiffer for an interview, Eric took the girl directly to the star waiting lounge.

"Hi, Mr. Williams, my name is Robert · Downey."

"Hello, Mr. Downey," Eric smiled and shook hands with each other, just wanted to praise a few words of each other's work, but found that he didn't remember what the master star's bumpy movie star had in his early years. A little girl around me: "This is Virginia Madsen."

Little Robert · Downey politely shook hands with Virginia, and the other party just came to know their faces, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, so they did n’t have too much entanglement, and chatted with Eric a few times, and left soon Too. Eric also started to greet others.

Tom · Cruise, Tom · Hanks, Dustin Hoffman, Melanie · Griffith, Parr Terry Ke Switz, Gina · Davis, Bruce Willis and wife Demme · Moore, Cher, Jane Fonda, Jodie · Foster, Sigourney · Weaver ......

As if passing through the crowd as if in another world, chatting with these still young stars, after a few minutes, after the staff reminded, all the talents began to enter the field.

I do n’t know what the organizers of this session of Oscar thought, but they did not arrange a host.

After entering the auditorium and finding the location of the crew of "Home Alone" and recognizing the place, Eric left the seat directly and walked backstage. Because he was awarded the best supporting actress as a guest was placed first. The order of awarding Oscar awards does not have strict rules. In many cases, in order to attract the attention of the audience, the organizer will first award the most important best supporting actor or best supporting actor.

"Hello, Eric, I'm Tom · Sellwick." Stepping into the background, a tall and strong middle-aged man leaned close to him: "Will wait for me to lead you to power."

Eric reached out and shook hands with each other: "Thank you, Mr. Selik, I really like your" Three Men and a Baby ", I heard that this movie is about to make a sequel?"

"Three Men and a Baby" is the annual Box Office champion in 1987. This warm comedy won the Box Office championship, and most of them are just lucky. Because there is no famous movie in 1987.

And for Tom · Selik, Eric I just watched " Three Men and a Baby ", The deeper impression on him is 《Friends》 The big one Monica An image of a boyfriend in his twenties.

After Eric intends to complete 《Running Out of Time》, the TV series for Fox shoots is 《Friends》. Although I have a deep memory of the Monica boyfriend's image in Tom · Sellwick, Eric knows that he must choose a newcomer. Now Tom · Sellwick's career is still in full swing. If he invites the other party to play TV series, he will not be surprised.

Tom · Sellwick heard Eric mentioning his favorite work, haha ​​laughed: "Of course, but will not be released until next year, seriously, I do n’t want to hit your movie."

After about ten minutes of opening singing and dancing, Eric took the envelope of the award list handed over by the staff and walked to the podium under the guidance of Tom · Sellwick.

All the lines of the guests were written by screenwriter before. Therefore, when the audience saw the cunning words of the stars on the TV, they could not actually show their own speech skills.

"Wow," walked to the center of the stage, Eric held up the microphone, and sighed: "Actually, after I received the invitation, I asked Alan · Carr, why, why do others have women on stage to give awards, but I It ’s not fair to be alone! Alan stared at me for a long time before saying: Because you are too young! "

Eric said here, the smirk-like audience blinked and made an innocent look.

The auditorium was silent for a second, and a burst of laughter broke out immediately, and applause also rang. Although Eric has achieved a series of amazing achievements in Hollywood in the past six months, there will always be people who take the age of Eric To tell the truth, achieving such a great achievement at the age of eighteen seems to be a 'stain' in Eric's life. When people admire genius, they always reject genius involuntarily.

After a few more naughty words, after making the audience laugh, Eric pulled the topic back: "Any movie, while those male & female leadss show their acting skills, they always have the supporting role. And a good supporting role will make a movie more outstanding, so let's see what are the films nominated for the best supporting actress. "

After Eric finished speaking, a gesture was made, and film fragments of nominations for Best Supporting Actress appeared on the big screen, namely Sigourney · Weaver and Joan · Cusak of “Working Girl”, Michelle · Pfeiffer of 《Dangerous Liaisons》, Gina Davis of "Unexpected Traveler" and Francis McDummond of "Mississippi Burning".

As far as Eric is concerned, his least favorite is Sigourney · Weaver. The other party's best female match for the Golden Globe Award with the "Working Girl" has a lot of moisture. Compared to this, Eric prefers Michelle · Pfeiffer and Gina · Davis, and he also thinks that the winner should be one of the two.

After all the nominated films were introduced, Eric opened the envelope slowly and glanced at the name, as expected.

"The best supporting actress is" Unexpected Traveler ", Gina · Davis."

In applause, a redhead with a height of more than 1.8 meters covered her mouth excitedly and stood up. After embracing the other members of the crew of "The Unexpected Traveler", she stepped onto the stage. The girl did not rush to pick up the little gold man, but hugged Eric excitedly, and Eric only smiled and patted the girl's back. Gina Davis was originally more than 1.8 meters tall, and she is still wearing high heels, which is a little higher than Eric. When the two hugged, Eric really looked 'small'. This scene caused a burst of light from the audience. laugh.

"Hey, Ms. Davis, can you let me go, are you sure you are eating my tofu?" Eric took a few shots and saw the other person holding herself, so she said something softly in the girl's ear.

"Impatient little guy," Gina · Davis said softly, quickly let go of Eric, took Xiaojinren, and began her speech.
