Chapter 465: Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy

As always, after the big and small awards throughout December, when the time enters January 2012, the awards season is about to usher in its own high. Tide - Leaving aside the bafta on the other side of the ocean, the highlight of each year is concentrated in January and February, the Golden Globe Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Directors Guild Awards, and of course, the most high-profile Academy Awards, which are the focus of all the crews in every PR season, one boring business reception after another, and carefully planned hype marketing...... It's like a two-month marathon, even if you're a novice, you can quickly mingle with the circle after running for two months, after all, you see the same people everywhere you go, and after two months, you have become familiar with each other, in a sense, you know each other better than your colleagues and family members - after all, it's often your enemies who know you best, and this old saying is true.

On the night of January 15th, the entrance to the Hilton Beverly Hills was of course bustling with fans, photographers, and the ubiquitous radio microphones and cameras...... The combination has become one of the most watched ratings festivals this year, and when many actresses and male stars dress up carefully and show their style in front of the camera, their behind-the-scenes team is like a 'sunspot' in Japanese culture, although they are also coming and going in front of the camera, busy, but it is difficult to attract the attention of a star, which can be said to be full of stealth skills.

"Phew," finally put his client Meryl. Streep sent him into the venue and checked with the media to make sure that there would be no ugly photos of 'Aunt May' leaking out, or that she was unlucky enough to be voted the worst dressed award of the day. Summerle sighed in relaxation and slipped into his place - it was a row of chairs against the side door, the view was not good, but he could sneak out at any time, just for the publicists, "I'm done with my work, let's rest for another hour—and, God forbid, let me be busy for another half night." ”

"Looks like you have a lot of hope." Her 'competitor', another actress candidate, Rooney. Marat's PR Fiona said, "Tonight is supposed to be Meryl's night, I feel that way. ”

Although the two sides are now in a competitive relationship, the relationship between Edith and Fiona will certainly not be affected, after all, there is no direct conflict of interest between them, and this time the competition is not so hot that the publicists have to find a way to discredit their opponents. Edith spread her hands and did not deny Fiona's words, "Indeed, she would have won a lot of outpost awards - if it weren't for Jennifer. Jefferson's words, maybe he could have taken more, but—fortunately, Jennifer reported the comedy department, so at least tonight, it wasn't a problem. ”

To Rooney, who is still a fresh face. Mara said that her PR only had to make sure she could get enough out of the nomination, so although she hadn't won any awards so far, Fiona wasn't in a hurry, and when she heard Edith say that, she pursed her lips and winked at Edith. "Of course, she's your rival, who made her carry the big news? - Look, Selena. The smile on Meyer's face – I bet she hasn't stopped smiling since the moment she heard the news, how coincidentally, in December – I guess she must have thought it was a Christmas present from heaven. ”

“h。” Edith said, "Ah, Judy. Ackerman was talking to her, and I thought she would stay in San Francisco, but it didn't seem like she was going to pass up the opportunity to speak - and that made sense. Selena is going to be disappointed, this time it was not her who came to the stage to accept the award on her behalf. ”

"She still has a chance to be on stage, Salvi, the director didn't come either." Fiona said that Edith was also interested, "Didn't you come?" Is he still in San Francisco? man! I'll just say there's something about the two of them, don't you? Bet Cesare wouldn't want to let him stay - he had custody anyway, did he? ”

"I know, and I want to be there to see that kind of show." Fiona lowered her voice, "But anyway, Salvi is back in New Zealand to edit the film - she's woken up anyway, and heard that Cesare has full custody and they're about to transfer her back to Los Angeles, so we don't have to run around with our capable Judy." ”

"So the rumors are true? - I mean, she woke up, but—"

"Yep," Fiona twirled around the side of her head, "it's still a mess, they say that's why Judy looks so upset - and there's no news out there, you know, it's the worst PR can ever encounter." ”

"Yes, worse than a dead customer is a crazy customer." Edith muttered, "It's still a living crazy client, poor Selena, so Jennifer's side is bound to adopt a low-key strategy, isn't it?" There's nothing more popular than a long, recurring illness -- but at this juncture, the Oscars are just around the corner—"

"Who's to say it isn't?" Fiona is a little gloating - this is basically common sense in the PR world: a tragic bad news, such as a sudden death, will be a rapid rise in the value of the star, and all the projects he has participated in will benefit from it, and if he is like Jennifer, he still has works that are winning awards, then he will have a great advantage in the current year, and the continuous bad news, such as cancer and other serious illnesses, is another treatment entirely, although it is ruthless to say, but the shelf life of public sympathy has always been very short, Once the shock wears off, all that remains is the instinctive avoidance of □□, which is why most of the anti-cancer stars are quite low-key and rarely appear on the page - of course, they may not have more energy to make news, but they don't even send a press release, and that's because of the PR's considerations.

And worse than cancer and vegetative state is the rumored 'brain mess', and this inappropriate way of exiting will greatly reduce Jennifer's appearance. Jefferson's market value has led fans to shy away from her - they prefer a short-lived and glorious legend to an idol who has lost all dignity and is no longer that soul, even without market research, there is no doubt about that. The team will certainly keep the news from it for as long as they can, at least until the Oscars are over, and Selena will have to accept the regretful fact - "I guess she would have preferred her to die suddenly now, you know, if possible, I suspect she'll exacerbate the process with her own hands - look at her hunger. Thirsty, fanatical expressions—"

Both PRs laughed and looked at Judy. Ackerman approached, and they exchanged a tacit look and greeted warmly, "Hey, Judy, long time no see." ”

"I guess you've been crazy lately, haven't you?"

"Who's to say it isn't?" Judy sat down beside the two of them, "Edith, I think you're as busy as I am - is Meryl's acceptance speech ready?" I think there's a 90% chance she'll be able to use it. ”

"It took me an afternoon, but it's ready." Edith said, teasingly nudging Judy, "What about you, dear, I think you're 100% going to use a good acceptance speech tonight." ”

"Of course it's ready." Judy said she didn't deny Edith's claim, "Of course, there's really no suspense in this department of Jennifer - tonight's story is still about Best Picture and Best Director, isn't it?" ”

"I don't think 'Journey of Life' has made it to the musical comedy department, so we don't even have this bit of suspense." Fiona interjected, glancing at Edith and Judy, "Oscar is the real battleground, isn't it?" ”

The two PRs looked at each other for a moment, Fiona looked left and right, and couldn't help but smile with relish, but Edith and Judy quickly withdrew their eyes, Edith picked up the wine glass on the round table and took a sip in disguise, and Judy said, "I don't know, even tonight is enough suspense, after all, "The Artist" is a silent film, and this is always an obstacle - it's hard to say what the Golden Globe judges think of it, of course, it must be to the Oscars' appetite." ”

"That's true, if it hadn't been chosen by Weinstein, 'The Artist' wouldn't have reached the heights it is today." Fiona nodded approvingly, but quickly said in fear of the world, "Just like Meryl, is "The Iron Lady" her best work?" Not so, but with Weinstein -- it's definitely the closest she's gotten to an Oscar in 10 years. Edith, you're really working with the Master. ”

"Well, don't say that to Judy," Edith said with a smile, "after all, her client is Judy, the big man who can make the master deflated, and when it comes to this, what is going on with Jennifer's health?" You know, the rumors are just going around now, and a lot of people are saying that she-"

She raised her hand and circled around her temples, Fiona's smile darkened, and the smile on Judy's face faded.

"You'll find out later." She raised her glass and dipped her lips in it, and said briefly, "-Ah, the party has begun." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen," the scene was already dark, and with a short opening music, the 69th TV and Film Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.

Unlike previous years' fierce battles and award ceremonies where great powers competed for hegemony, the 2012 awards season can be said to lack strong works - unlike the year when "Avatar", "Bomb Disposal Unit", and "Slumdog Millionaire" were three strong works competing for the championship, all the entries this year have their own great weaknesses, and of course they are inferior in terms of social impact, "The Artist" has only been praised by the industry, and there is not even a splash in the market, and it has been repeatedly badly criticized, biopics have always been a favored theme, but "Iron Lady" The quality of the film is really mediocre, only Meryl's performance is worth mentioning, as for "The Journey of Life", in terms of a literary film, the market response is surprisingly good - but the premise is that you have to admit that it is a literary film, Salvi shows a lot of new shooting skills in it, using 3D advantages to highlight the scenery, which are all highlights, but no matter what, the fantasy of this film is still very strong, and this is not the element favored by the Oscars, including the spirit and imagery he shows, although it is extremely gorgeous and romantic, but it is also the same, It's not the taste of the Oscars, in general, without the bonus of race, strong public relations operations and the backing of a company like Weinstein, and my willingness to compete for the award is extremely low, even the Golden Globe Award has not come, and it is said that he will not go to the Oscars, "Life Journey" does not have high hopes of winning the Best Picture or Director Award.

In terms of the male lead, Chris . Hanks is a strong contender, but there is still a long way to go before he is crowned emperor for the second time. Dualdan is not well known, and Brad . Pitt has few highlights in "Moneyball" and his old friend George Brown. Clooney, like Clooney, was forcibly selected by operation, and Michael was crowned emperor in Venice. Fassbinder didn't even get the nomination, and the entire actor department has a sense of barrenness, feeling that whoever wins the actor will definitely not be able to convince people, and it is a veritable little year.

And the heroine here, it's basically a game of two people - originally, if nothing happens, Meryl has a great hope of winning her third little golden man, and in the early December outpost awards, she has the advantage, but as soon as the news of Jennifer's injury came out, including the follow-up news report, she immediately began to sweep the awards season, which made the choice of Oscars confusing - if Jennifer died, there would certainly be no suspense, So whether Jennifer's condition will deteriorate or even die during the voting period, or whether she will miss the Oscar because of the rumor letter, is also the main bet on the major lottery plates. However, when it comes to tonight's Golden Globe Awards, just like the three PRs unanimously approved just now, under the premise that the Golden Globe Awards have two departments, there is indeed no suspense about the heroine at tonight's awards ceremony.

"The winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical Comedy Actress is—" presented by Ryan Murphy. Gosling opened the envelope and glanced at it, "My good friend Jennifer. Jefferson - "The Journey of Life". ”

The applause rang out politely, and Ryan applauded as he said, "This award will be presented by the spokesperson Judy Brown. Ackerman took the lead, Jennifer couldn't be there for special reasons, I think we all know what that reason is, and we all hope she gets better, best wishes to her. ”

The applause became loud, but it was still polite, because praying for Jennifer in public has become a fashion in the past half a month, and countless actors have used this trick to win the page, and it has also exhausted people's passion, even Chris who scolded the paparazzi and Fox News for Jennifer did not get up and applaud, just clapped his hands solemnly, which also made the hearts of many viewers in front of the TV sink - they all believe that Chris must have the latest information about Jennifer, And now that the official has not released further news, his expression has also become a barometer for fans, and now it seems that Jennifer's condition is not progressing so ideally.

Amid applause, Judy in her suit. Ackerman had already stepped onto the stage to take the trophy from Ryan, and the two shook hands slightly, and Judy turned to the microphone, "Well...... It's an honour to accept this award on behalf of Jennifer, but, for reasons that are well known, I can't speak on her behalf because I don't think she's arrogant enough to prepare for this a month in advance. ”

There was sporadic laughter, and most people were in a dilemma: it seemed a little early to joke about it - the muzzle of the gun was still hot.

"Of course, I have prepared a short speech to thank you for your support at this difficult time, but I have decided to cancel this testimonial on a personal volition and announce another good news instead - a bit reckless, I beg your pardon if I did something inappropriate, but because I have experienced the warmth from you in the past ten days, I really can't wait to share it with you today," Judy continued, seemingly glancing at a corner of the room. But soon drew attention to the front of the camera, revealing a smile that is very difficult to describe as 'inappropriate', "Actually, since a week ago, Jennifer has had a brief eye-opening reaction, and can have a brief conversation with the medical staff, her coma index has been rising, and just half an hour ago, I received a phone call that made me very happy and excited, just now, Jennifer really woke up, and gave the first sober command to the medical staff-"

When she was laying the groundwork, the audience resounded with excitement, and when she announced that Jennifer had woken up, the audience was immediately drowned out with applause and cheers, Chris took the lead in standing up, whistling and clapping wildly, the applause faded after tens of seconds, and in front of the TV, the screaming continued, "OhmyGod!" She's awake! When she woke up, I knew - I knew she would! ”

"Fuck, give me a tissue, it's- it's true!"

"Thank God, I'm speechless—thank God, God, don't look at me, I know I must be laughing ugly right now—"

At this point, the applause on the television finally stopped, and Judy was once again given a quiet environment, and the smile on her lips grew wider, "And she said, 'She's hungry, she wants a cheeseburger.'" ”

"Hahahaha!"

“that’sj.j! totally! ”

"It's a classic!"

The venue was filled with laughter again - the applause rang out again, and even grew louder, and the directors, actors, and celebrities, regardless of their personal image, laughed back and forth just like the audience in front of the TV - cheeseburgers, what a classic!

"Cheeseburgers - hahahaha, I'm willing to give her a hundred, if she can eat them."

"J.J is really- no, I need to go online and vent! This girl is amazing! Oh, my God! My skies - I don't know how to put it - are really clear! ”

"I have to tell this news to foreign netizens to know that they can't watch the live broadcast of the Golden Globes-"

Through countless LCD planes, this scene of laughter from the audience entered thousands of households, and also provoked thousands of reactions, laughing, ecstatic, smiling, and inductively talking - 'What a coincidence, oh my God, this must be the most classic acceptance speech of the Golden Globe Awards' -

At the same time, in a very deserted and quiet ward compared to the venue, laughter and applause are also adjusting the decibel level of the room through the TV. Jenny. Jefferson leaned back, adjusting the pillow behind her, and whispered, "It's still a little too much, isn't it?" Chris, in particular, didn't behave naturally as he did......"

"If you really woke up half an hour ago, indeed," Cesare glanced at the screen, continuing to scroll through the iPad screen, tapping a few times on the screen from time to time, "I think he would have rushed to the stage to announce the news, and then ran out of the venue to visit you." ”

"Do you think he will?" Jenny asked with interest.

"He will." Cesare affirmed, adding, "However, although the timing is wrong, there is no discrepancy in the description of the whole condition, so it is impossible to say that Judy's performance went too far—you know, it has been less than 24 hours since you were completely awake, and you shouldn't have been watching television for so long." ”

Without saying a word, he picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and frowned reproachfully at Jenny's protesting expression, "Don't look at me like that, with all due respect, Jenny, it seems that you are surprisingly unaware of the patient-this is not like you used to be, and maybe this is one of the after-effects-"

"Oh, forget it," said Jenny, waving her hand unbearably, careful not to touch her head, frowning, "I don't act like a patient because I know I'm not in danger - that's how confident I am, okay?" ”

Seeing that Cesare seemed to have objections, she quickly changed the subject, and said pleadingly, "Okay, don't watch TV, let's talk--stop hanging my appetite, Cesare, or I'll not be able to sleep, and it's even harder-please-tell me what's happened this month, and what's going on in the world out there--please-"

In Cesare's annoyed glare, she generously abused her patient privileges by firing a 'I'm pathetic' signal at him, and Cesare finally sighed irritably.

“fine!” He said, "What do you want to know?" ”

Jenny couldn't help but smile triumphantly, taking care not to let the slight dizziness show itself (which muscle might have been involved in the smile just now), picked up the cheeseburger in the corner of the table, took a little, careful bite, and said vaguely, "Tell me everything—for God's sake, you'll never know how hungry I am for new news." Thirsty - I really want to know everything! ”
