"Jennifer—" Another middle-aged man who Jenny felt familiar but couldn't name walked up, "Congratulations, tonight's big winner, aren't you?" Oh, I have to say, when they pronounced your name for the second time, I was speechless, and at that time I really thought it was my delusion, I had entered the Yin Yang Demon Realm......"

"Hank. If you love to play and watch, come to WWW. LＷXＳ５２０。 COM," Judy whispered a brisk word in Jenny's ear, "Time Warner's independent director." ”

"Honestly, Hank." Jenny forced herself to smile for the tenth time of the night, "Honestly, I'm the same - I feel like I'm dreaming right now." ”

This is not a lie, she has indeed not recovered from the shock of a few hours ago, to be honest, Jenny does not know how she walked on stage to accept the award, how to recite the acceptance speech she had thought of a long time ago, and she seems to have added the sentence 'I am glad that I did not directly appropriate the acceptance speech prepared for this moment, otherwise the scene would have fallen into a terrible silence by now' - goodforher, which shows that ridicule has become her instinct.

Best Actress? Really? Of course, no one could have imagined that she would win Best Supporting Actress, and that was the result of pie in the sky, but doesn't that mean that the sympathetic votes that voted for her to be the first supporting actress - that is, her basic plate will not vote for her heroine again? Best Actress? How the hell did this happen? Could it be that her charm really conquered all the judges, so that she still got the first place despite losing those basic sets?

In any case, this time she no longer suspected that the Oscars were counted incorrectly, although Jenny still allowed herself to consider the possibility of the Oscars asking for a recount and then retracting the awards, but because this was something that had never happened in history, it was almost negligible - so, contrary to her previous expectations, she nominated for the first time, won the double lot, and had two Oscars at the age of 25.

If she was still ecstatic when she got the supporting actress, now she feels like she is still in a dream, and even the high heels are not stepping on the carpet, one foot deep and one foot shallow, stepping on clouds and cotton.

"I may have drunk a little too much." After exchanging pleasantries with Hank, Jenny found a break to say to Judy, "I'm a little dizzy." ”

"Me too." Judy replied bluntly, "And I didn't drink at all—it's only your second drink, hold on, Jenny, I see Bob coming." Bob had never been to a celebration party before - he never even attended the awards ceremony. ”

She was talking about Robert. Egger, if in the past, Judy would have been excited about the presence of such a great man, but now she is no longer surprised. What does it mean to be a double lift? Jenny didn't have a clue yet, but she knew at least that it meant that many people—countless people—would come to the party to greet her, she had no idea how long the party had been, she was already hungry, laughing too much, and most importantly hadn't recovered from her fright—all she knew was that when she went backstage with the prize, even Cesare was in a state of shock and said unusually little. And she didn't know how she managed to deal with the media that was so excited that she almost fainted, but by the time she regained some of her ability to think, she was already standing here, like a president at a handshake party, shaking hands with her supporters one after another.

Spielberg, James. Cameron, Bruckheimer, Martin. Scorsese, Hugh. Hefner, Joe. Sylvo - these big names showed up one after another, they didn't even book to come to the afterparty, but drove straight to the scene after watching the live broadcast, of course Jenny didn't think they were here to praise her or come for her: she won two awards, this is an Oscar phenomenon, this is a trend in Hollywood, this is a big thing, and these big names want to be there, in time to know what is going on - that's the point.

She must have understood correctly, for she had only spoken to them briefly, and they all seemed to have figured out that she didn't know anything and then disappeared without a trace, and Jenny saw Bruckheimer talking to Cesare in an emotional way—Cesare was as busy as she was tonight—and she thought they should go to someone they thought could explain clearly.

I don't know if Cesare could explain that it was all just an accident. Jenny thought casually, and smiled politely again. "Bob."

She and Egg were already familiar, and at this moment, an acquaintance soothed her emotions more than those strangers who were smiling and puzzled, and when Jenny and Egg embraced, she felt as if she was a little more awake again, "Don't tell me you came to congratulate me, Bob. ”

"I feel like I'm going to have to cheer my girl on." "Willow and the kids asked me to convey congratulations—and of course they couldn't wait to find out what was going on," Iger said warmly. ”

This is not the first time someone has asked this, of course, Iger asks the most directly, and he is also the person Jenny can't offend the most. Before Rob. When Marshall came to ask, Jenny could honestly tell him, "It was really just an accident," and "I was more surprised than everybody," and Marshall Sr. believed it or not—even if he thought Jenny wasn't telling the truth, so what? Jenny owes him a favor or a few favors, but that doesn't mean she's obligated to say everything to him. If he gets upset about it, that's his problem.

But Egger was a different story, he was the one who called to help her canvass for votes - although Jeanne had never been directly involved in these matters under Cesare's planning, that didn't mean she didn't know who she owed a favor - he was also the one who knew that she wasn't even sure about Best Actress, and if he didn't answer well, Iger might think he was not trusted, and that would be a big deal.

Under the pressure of this reality, Jenny's stalled thinking machine began to kick in, and she gave an embarrassed smile and looked around, as if hinting at the occasion question, "Bob, I really want to tell you, I know the answer." But the truth is, maybe I'm still a little bit of an eyebrow about what happened to Best Supporting Actress, but I only know a little bit about what happened in the competition for the lead actress......"

Her tone was suggestive, and it also revealed information that she hadn't told anyone before - she knew what had happened to Best Supporting Actress, and Iger didn't continue to ask Best Supporting Actress what had happened, just nodded thoughtfully and lowered her voice, "So, Reese's incident is really not an accident?" ”

Jenny lowered her voice as well, "I can't admit anything to you—"

"I see." Robert quickly interrupted Jenny, but he wasn't surprised, apparently he had been wondering about it for a while, "There is no such thing as a good deed in this world that does not ask for anything in return, does it?" ”

"Maybe, but it rarely happens in Hollywood." Jenny replied in a babbled manner that this kind of vague and witty conversation was her area of expertise—she was an egg man, after all—and at the same time, she was constantly waking up: she was really busy and crazy a while ago, why was people enthusiastic about her, why did Weinstein introduce her to the big guys? The answer is so simple! - People guessed that she had something to do with the Reese incident! People want to get the dividends of Internet public opinion, and even if they don't get the dividends, they don't want to be the next Reese! In the eyes of people, she has mastered a mysterious and terrifying new weapon, at least before Internet marketing and public opinion control become a bad street concept, no one wants to offend her easily, on the contrary, everyone wants to have a good relationship with her, share her dividends, establish a good online image like her, and even roll traditional media in turn to find a cheaper, more effective, and more powerful way to PR.

Fear means power, profit means power, and even her own low-key style means power - Jenny herself is one of the 'people', she knows what the masses think, and when you don't know something, its mystery adds a lot of charm to it. The more low-key she is, the more she acts that has nothing to do with the incident, and the more over-the-top and bold the speculation in people's hearts becomes. So at the Oscar nomination luncheon, she was the star of the moon, and after she won two Oscars, the charm of this mystery even made Iger - Disney CEO Egger know her very well, even if it is the Iger who covers her - is also a little reserved, he personally rushed from home to support her, in addition to figuring out what happened, I am afraid it is also a clear intention of the close relationship between the two in Hollywood. Of course, his specific motives still need to be carefully analyzed, why he didn't ask the supporting actress in detail. Curtain? What did he think? These are things that she needs to ponder in a quieter environment.

Although for himself to get the heroine's inside. She still didn't know anything, and she still held the two trophies a little heavily, but now Jenny was much quieter: outside of these two Oscars, the world still followed the trajectory she understood. The situation is clearly developing in her favor.

"Of course, we should talk about the film contract carefully...... Yes, now is not the time...... Thank you again for coming, Bob ...... "Sending Iger in Cesare's direction, Jenny glanced at the big television above the field—a bewildered smile on her face, holding her second statuette in a restrained manner, almost in a trance.

"Thank you David, you made this possible, thank you Chris, you are my best opponent, thank you to my fiancé Josh, my best supporter, and Harvey......" Although the TV only has a picture and no sound, Jenny still whispers to herself in the picture: this is a well-prepared acceptance speech, safe, boring, without the slightest controversy, she can easily recite it.

After she finished her testimonial on TV, she turned around and hugged Jamie, still looking so ghostly, even if she had just won the cross-era award, she couldn't hide the fact that this was a completely frightened girl, and it could even be said that she was at a loss.

And Jenny looked at this blonde stunner dressed in red, and couldn't help but show a faint smile.

"You're a very, very, very lucky girl." She whispered, "Don't miss out on your luck." ”

"Jennifer!" A smiling sweet voice sounded behind her, and without Judy's reminder, Jenny immediately put on a sincere smile.

She turned. "Michelle-god, I really can't face you now-"

"Don't say that." Michelle. Williams pulls her visibly somewhat reluctant fiancé Heath. Ledger, too, smiled cheerfully and sincerely, "That's the game, isn't it?" I'm willing to gamble and lose, and I'm not even a sportsman. ”

The two actresses hugged amicably, and Michelle continued, "Actually, I was just about to ask you, have you been free lately?" Heath and I are planning to have a baby party to celebrate Matilda's 100th day......"

"This rule has to stop." While the stars were celebrating their victories and being photographed by photojournalists from Vanity Fair at the afterparty, Ampas, the rotating committee member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, returned to the academy building, sober and angry at each other in the conference room. "This rule - this damn whole thing has to stop, guys. If we continue like this, we will only lead Oscar to destruction! ”

"And what makes you think we're not on this path now?" Ed. Carter, a member of the rotating committee, exclaimed grumblingly, "For God's sake, this is the 21st century, where everything is getting younger and faster, and we only have 6,000 old people who are dying!" What are you expecting, Helen, unless you can change the world, miracles won't happen by themselves, we'll just keep rotting like this, reduced to tools of big corporations - ladders to careerists! ”

"Ed, calm down." Frank. Pearson rubbed his temples, "It's pretty clear, it's an unexpected coincidence, the new rules have confused the judges - for the last fifty years or so, whoever you're going to choose, put its name on the ballot, and whoever you choose for Best Actress won't choose for Best Supporting Actress." It's that simple, but the new rules change everything, who do you choose for best actress to be the first place, ok, in the supporting actress you don't write her for the first place, you don't want her to win the award, you write her for the second place because you still like her very much - these old people don't know that there is still a chance of choosing her as the first place, they are not mathematicians - the voting rules are getting more and more complicated, it's almost a sure thing, yes, we're lucky, the last few years have been safe, but this can happen at any time, and the girl was lucky enough to be the first to take advantage. Maybe next year there will be a second, a third - and we have only one choice: from now on, an actor can only be nominated for one Oscar for her performance. ”

"We also have a rule, which is to change the voting rules back to the way they were." Helen. "But of course, I see what you mean, Frank, and that would nullify our purpose." ”

"Yes, our intention." Frank took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Maintain Oscar's credibility - did you join Ampas so that someone like Weinstein could play you in the palm of your hand?" Well? Friends, huh? Isn't it? If not, then tell me, why is there such a ridiculous result in the vote for Best Supporting Actress? - Let me remind you once again that only the rotating committee can see the number of votes cast for the nomination, and the ordinary members can only know the results. ”

There was a terrible silence in the venue: the meeting had been going on for several hours, Frank had gotten all the data he needed, and for those who were interested, there was no secret in the PR company's system, and Frank had even figured out the public relations votes of the three candidates in the nomination process with just a few phone calls, and PricewaterhouseCoopers had already prepared a detailed report to count the distribution of votes. Michelle and Rachel's votes were so accurately distributed that the number of votes for the two to be the first place was exactly the same as in the nomination process, with less than 10 votes - if it weren't for Jennifer's basic plate miraculously rising to more than 100 and receiving a nearly identical number of 'Jennifer 1, Rachel/Michelle 2' votes at the same time, she would have been last. And this says two things - 1 the two women candidates used the same tactic, and 2 they both got the results of the nomination vote.

And 2 leads to the appalling 3 - the leakage of the committee. curtain news, and maybe more than one.

"Okay, admit it, Jennifer. Jefferson is the luckiest girl ever. "Not only did she meet two stupid candidates, but she miraculously won the heroine's vote - by just 10 votes."

"I think the fact that she won only shows that the outside world's assessment of the committee's integrity is still a bit too high." "The girls aren't stupid, they're even smart - they're just unlucky - but we don't need to talk about it now, we need to talk about what we need to do with the situation," Frank said sarcastically. ”

"We can't take back her Oscar." "PwC has all the vote data, and they won't accept the miscount," Helen said.

"—I wouldn't use that either." "She got the Oscar, one because she was lucky, one because she was good enough — and the number of people who chose her for first place surprised all of you, didn't you?" ”

A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of his lips, and his eyes swept meaningfully over a few of the Jewish commissioners, "And it gives me a little more optimism about the situation -- it shows that most of our members still know how to distinguish good performances -- and they will always persist in good enough performances." ”

He didn't mention that he also voted for Jennifer in first place, nor did he mention the negative mentality at the time: at that time, he estimated that Jennifer would not be able to win first place even if she had this vote - indeed, the result of Best Actress still made Frank a little more optimistic, at least after deducting Jennifer's PR vote (God knows how much cash), there are still so many members who are persisting in their duties. "Anyway, the Oscars have never had a double award in their history, but there has never been a win back either, so we're not going to continue to talk about it, we're focusing on how to deal with the situation after that."

"Ok, we don't take it back." Ed spread his hands, "So what else can we do?" Write a damn speech and throw it out when the media storm hits us. Close our eyes and get through half a year – bang, a new awards season begins, everything starts all over again – what else can we do? ”

Although his tone was very bad, his opinion made many members nod, and Helen also pushed her glasses in approval, "That's all we can do at the moment - Frank, as for whether to revise the selection rules, this is not in a hurry." ”

Frank nodded, and he exhaled lightly, but still couldn't get rid of the tension - since the second time he heard 'Jennifer. The Jefferson' name has been lingering since then: What will tonight's ratings look like? What will tomorrow's newspapers say? Jennifer. Jefferson - This girl who is not lucky or unfortunate will be the target of public criticism, and will Oscar's justice be compromised? Will things go unexpectedly?

Countless questions rose and fell in his mind, and Frank exhaled, dispelling all distractions - either way, he was the chairman of the rotating committee, and he needed to think about Oscar and Ampas.

"The contents of tonight's meeting must be kept confidential." He glanced at everyone, "This is the ugliest, most deplorable side of the Oscars - this is our ugliest, most greedy side, and if anyone leaks it, who makes me hear a rumor-"

In the strongest gesture, he continued, "I will give up the next four years, dissolve the committee, initiate the re-election process, remember my words, friends, and I will do what I say." ”

He closed the folder, "Adjournment!" ”

The commissioners muttered and walked slowly out of the building, and Frank got into his limousine, still thinking about the committee's next steps on the way home: Jennifer. Jefferson definitely didn't play this thing, the media won't give up, and neither will the losers, Reese. Witherspoon, Michelle. Williams...... They and their team, their company, have every reason to hate Jennifer. Jefferson, if she only won Best Actress, the media would have been calm. If she only won Best Supporting Actress, there would have been a lot of talk about the Olympian Pork award, but there was nothing the committee couldn't handle. But now? Unprecedentedly, she won two Oscars?

Frank's vast life experience can't predict what will happen next, because it's completely unprecedented, but he knows one thing: the unwilling losers won't pass up this opportunity. Fueling the flames in the media questioning, and even making things difficult and criticizing Oscar, is something they will definitely do. And Frank really doesn't know how high this storm will be hyped, and whether the embarrassing truth behind the best supporting actress will be sniffed out by the media's long nose......

With a heavy heart in his arms, he woke up uneasily after almost two hours of sleep, and looking at the clock, Frank simply got up and put on his nightgown, and staggered to the courtyard door.

He took a few breaths—walking from his bedroom, a short walk for anyone—and then opened the newspaper box, pulled out a few newspapers he had subscribed to, and flipped to the entertainment section.

The eye-catching title immediately broke into his eyes - Jennifer. Jefferson raised a glass twice, and the young genius conquered Hollywood.

OK, it seems that this one is a positive attitude...... The Jefferson team did a good job of PR. Frank tossed the newspaper to his feet and continued to examine the next one.

J.J won the double prize! Oscar miracles! Afterparty celebrities gathered, Spielberg, James. Cameron, Robert. Iger came to congratulate her, and her award was well received!

……

What the?

Frank even rubbed his eyes twice to make sure he was not mistaken, he stood up straight, fumbled through the pockets of his dressing gown, took out his reading glasses and put them on, quickly skimmed through the small print report, and then hurried back to the study panting (seriously, it's not good if the house is too big), and turned on the computer unfamiliarly, and found last night's Oscar report.

Robert. Iger, Spielberg, James. Cameron - the group photos of shaking hands and talking quickly appeared, and the happy smiles on everyone's faces reflected the happy atmosphere of the time - even Hugh. Hefner, what is he here to do? Michelle. Williams also hugged her and posed for a photo......

For the third time in a few days, Frank was puzzled, and he watched all the news intently, not thinking of a plausible explanation.

"Well, I must be too tired." He couldn't help but look at these group photos from the beginning - with so many big names backing them, who would dare to say that Jennifer's two Oscars were from PR? Of course, there may be such media, but I'm afraid they are now like him, and they have been suppressed by Jennifer's energy...... "There must be a reasonable explanation for all this......"

Even though he knew the inside story and knew that the supporting actress was picked up by Jennifer, in the face of this incredible scene, Frank couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought in his mind: "It seems that she is not only a very, very, very lucky girl, but maybe also a very, very, very energetic girl...... No, or rather, she's been lucky enough to be more than you could have imagined - she's been picked by a very, very energetic person......"

He retyped another keyword into the search box: Cesare. Vijri.

The author has something to say: updated!!!!!

It's a bit of a burst of words, so it's a little late,

But it's a lot of words these days - everyone enjoy!
