1006 Alone is not enough

Between the scent of clothes and sideburns, Dorothy Wright was holding a glass of champagne, smiling elegantly, the light purple skirt was shining under the ice blue light, not far away, Julia Roberts in a white dress said goodbye to Reese Witherspoon, and then walked quickly towards Dorothy, the corner of her mouth was the trademark big smile, she leaned forward slightly, and then gave Dorothy two veneer gifts, and said apologetically, "Please forgive me for my faux pas, I didn't come to greet you until now, Hopefully tonight's party didn't disappoint you. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"No, of course not." Dorothy also smiled and waved her hand repeatedly, "Everything is fine tonight, I met Penelope just now, and both of us were full of praise for the ice fountain, and Mark was lying on the ground, drinking champagne, which I can't see anywhere else." ”

"Mark Walkerberg?" Julia frowned, showing a look of surprise, and after receiving Dorothy's affirmative answer, she shook her head repeatedly, "Damn it, when Meryl comes, he'll know what to do and what not to do." Although she was cursing, Julia's face was filled with joy, which made Dorothy laugh heartily. Julia looked left and right, "So, didn't Lance plan to come over tonight?" ”

"Oh, poor Lance, there was a little accident on the set yesterday, Edward was practicing that new technique, electronic capture or something, and he fell so hard countless times, his knee seemed to be a little bruised, and the machine was malfunctioning, and he was having a headache about these things." Dorothy's face naturally showed a corresponding regret, and she shook her head, "This afternoon, he made a special trip to San Francisco to have a face-to-face discussion with the technical team of Industrial Light & Magic. It is estimated that I will not be able to come back until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. ”

Julia clutched her chest and expressed her regret, "Poor Lance. Then he shook his head slightly, "I don't know anything about electronic things, so I won't delve into what the hell is going on, it's a shame that he's not there tonight." But maybe that's why he was able to make those amazing movies, isn't it? Julia let out a long sigh, "To be honest, I'm looking forward to seeing him here tonight, my sister-in-law and brother are here, and they want to thank Lance personally." You know, for that little guy named Emma. ”

"Lance knew you were going to care about it, and when I called him this afternoon, he made a special trip to ask me to greet him, and hoped that the little girl was well." Dorothy coped with the topic with ease, "If you really want to thank him, when he has the premiere of this film, I hope you can show your support on the red carpet in person, he thinks it's a good deal." ”

"Haha." Julia was completely amused, and her hearty laughter was undisguised, "He's such a cute boy, isn't he?" After reining in her smile, Julia looked back at the crowd and continued, "Actually, I was going to introduce some old guys to Lance, you know, they still talk to Hollywood." ”

Dorothy suddenly realized, no wonder Julia thinks Lance is a "cute guy", the old guy mentioned by Julia must be the top of the house, and she wants to open up the situation for Lance's house public relations tonight, which is much more important than a simple premiere attendance.

Julia's eyes fell on the white-haired old man sitting on the sofa not far away, and every strand of gray hair could be clearly counted on his bare head, but these sparse white hairs were neat and subdued, meticulous, and sitting next to him were Bill Condon and BeyoncΓ©, the main cast of "Dream Girl".

With the release of the Golden Globe nomination list, all the information about "Dream Girl" was picked up, this work was filmed by DreamWorks and Paramount, although Steven Spielberg did not serve as a producer, but the lead producer Laurence-Mark (Laurence-Mark) is an old bone in Hollywood, "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Perfect" are his works.

Tonight is Julia's private party, and the main cast of "Dream Girls" is able to receive invitations, and it is clear that their personal relationship with Julia should not be underestimated.

"Robert-Rehme, the former president of the academy, rarely comes out and about, but the influence is still deep-rooted." Julia gave a brief introduction, and Dorothy immediately matched her name with the image in her mind, the famous producer, who was elected president of the academy twice in the nineties, the first time from 1992 to 1993, and the second time from 1997 to 2001.

The academy has also undergone a number of changes this year, with famed director Frank-Pieron stepping down in 2005 and former Paramount president Sid-Ganis taking over, but running into trouble for two years in a row, last year as "Brokeback Mountain" and this year as "Fury Road". It's just that Dorothy didn't expect that Robert Remay was actually invited out, and it seems that this year's college public relations situation is far more chaotic than imagined.

Julia looked back and said meaningfully, "I think there should be a lot of common ground between him and Lance. ”

Dorothy shook her head, her smile a little bitter, "Of course, Lance is happy to meet new people. But I'm afraid it's going to be a bit more difficult this year. The words were a little obscure, and Julia read it strangely and raised her eyebrows, "What do you say?" ”

Dorothy shrugged, "Do you need to talk about it?" Lance offended the interests of some people. Dorothy's gaze fell on Julia, "You should know better, shouldn't you?" ”

Memories of those struggles came to Julia's mind. Indeed, Hollywood actresses have suffered discrimination to a greater or lesser extent, and the saddest thing is that those discrimination is not deliberate, but inadvertently revealed, and the discrimination hidden in Hollywood's bones is everywhere, and Julia has experienced it herself, and she still remembers it vividly.

In order to get the role of "Pretty Woman", Julia's first words at the audition were, "Who do I have to sleep with to get the role?" "That's not a joke; In the early nineties, Julia and Meg Ryan were popular American sweethearts, but she grew tired of everyone treating her as an object, so she rebelled and eloped with Lyle-Lovett; When she returned in 1995, she was almost overwhelmed by strange stares, and if it weren't for the unexpected success of the widely dismissed work "My Best Friend's Wedding," her career would have ended long ago.

In the same way, what a man does is a wind/flow/rhyme/thing, and what a woman does is morally corrupt. Julia was deeply hurt by this.

Dorothy's words reminded Julia of the accusations she encountered when "Fury Road" was released, only at that time she was an outsider and calmly watched all this change, but because of Emma Roberts's accident, she became friends with Lance, and things naturally began to be different, "Why do you say that?" Isn't the matter settled? What's more, Lance has a lot of supporters in the circle, and as far as I know, Meryl has not hidden her support for Lance at all. ”

Meryl Streep openly said in an interview that among the many works this year, she has a soft spot for "Fury Road". Meryl's support is undoubtedly appealing in Hollywood, which is a big plus for Reims' college PR.

Dorothy smiled playfully, "Julia, you should know how different Hollywood is from the outside. I don't mean Meryl, but ......" Dorothy paused for a moment and pondered her words, "'Brokeback Mountain'." ”

"Brokeback Mountain" was a standout winner during awards season last year, with almost everyone agreeing that the work was the best choice for best picture, and that even "Fruit Hard Candy" wasn't on the same level β€” and that the hype was entirely a media operation. But the result?

This is Hollywood, where on the surface, everyone is supporting political correctness because it's about their public image, and they have to bury their true thoughts and create a perfect image; But when it comes time to actually vote, how many people are willing to tick "Brokeback Mountain" on their voting cards? And how many people are willing to admit that they are homophobes? What is even more tragic is that how many homosexuals are willing to admit themselves and vote for "Brokeback Mountain"?

It's easy to say, but it's incredibly difficult to do, and so is Fury Road. If an actress openly chooses to support "Fury Road", expresses her dissatisfaction, and votes for "Fury Road" one step closer, then she is likely to be abandoned by major film companies, or even hidden by the agency, because she must be taught a lesson and know "what can be said and what cannot be said". Of course, this is only for most of the first-tier and second-tier actors, not top actors like Julia and Meryl.

Everyone knows that there is only a way out if there is unity. It is impossible for black people to fight for their rights and interests by relying on Martin Luther King Jr. alone, but the question is, how many people are brave enough to stand up?

Julia instantly understood Dorothy's thoughts, and was silent for a moment, then let out a long breath, "It's time for us to step up, isn't it?" "Just one Meryl, that's not enough.

"Julia ......" Dorothy's tone was a little heavy, "standing up" is not such a simple thing, this is against the tradition, power, and inertia of the entire Hollywood, which is also the bad situation faced by the "Fury Road".

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, if they don't stand up for these top actors, how can they 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 big favor." ”
