"Jingle bell, jingle ring......" The dense ringing of the phone kept echoing in the office, as if with a trace of irritability and urgency, it was impossible to calm down at all, and people just wanted to end this annoying ringing quickly. txt eBook Download/But Michael Russell, who was sitting behind his desk, had no intention of picking up the phone at all, and the whole person was focused on writing something on the desktop.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the text is actually full of foul words written in "f**k", and Michael's left hand holding the pen is getting harder and harder, and finally he simply raises his left hand, trying to break the pen in his hand - but there is no way to do it, on the contrary, it makes his hands hurt faintly, which makes Michael almost angry, and throws the pen straight out. But the phone was still ringing, and Michael stood up with a look of rage, unplugged the phone line, and then slammed the phone out.

The sound finally stopped, and the world was finally quiet.

Michael strode to the door, opened the office door with all his might, and yelled outside, "I said that! Don't transfer any calls in, didn't understand? It's any call! I need to be quiet! Hell, the **** didn't even give me a moment of silence. ”

Michael's gruff voice echoed through the hall, froze the already busy staff. Michael's assistant sat in place even more trembling and didn't know what to do, but fortunately Michael didn't continue to entangle, and then threw the office hard, leaving only a string of anger in the air, making everyone look at each other.

Everyone knows what kind of pressure Michael has been under recently, with the end of the 54th Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has once again become the target of thousands of people, as the president of the association, Michael has become the target of everyone's attack, this is not a pleasant feeling. Don't talk about Michael, even the members of the association have been keeping their mouths shut, lowering their heads, and being honest lately.

It's just that none of them expected Michael to lose control in public...... If there were undercover reporters from other media outlets, tomorrow's newspaper headlines would have been conceivable.

In fact, even Michael didn't expect that he would lose control, the nameless fire was almost uncontrollable, and the huge pressure on his shoulders almost made him unable to support it. At this moment, Michael finally knew why Marjana Blerikang was so grumpy at the same time last year.

At this time last year, Magina, then president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, was in a hurry - because the Golden Globe Award winners caused a huge controversy, they awarded Best Actor in a Drama to Nicolas Cage, and Hugo, who won a lot of praise for "Death Row Walk", won the Best Actor in a Musical Comedy after winning four nominations: Best Actor in a Drama, Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, and only won Best Actor in a Musical Comedy for his performance in "Before Sunrise". There was a wave of skepticism. Dancing eBook

Originally, the award was controversial, which is nothing, but the problem is that Hugo refused to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but chose the Berlin Film Festival, and won an actor trophy in cold Berlin, which is almost a slap in the face to the Golden Globes. Later, Hugo relied on his absolute strength to reach the top at the Oscars and achieved the pinnacle of his career.

This makes the situation of the Golden Globes quite embarrassing.

Originally, these so-called controversies were just media public relations crises, and the follow-up troubles could be avoided as long as they were handled properly, but at that time, Michael and Magana were fighting for control of the association, and Michael wanted to further commercialize the Golden Globes for more profits, but Maganna was unwilling. So, in the end, Michael added a little bit behind the scenes, making things completely out of control.

The result was Michael happy - Majana stepped down, and he succeeded in taking over the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

After Michael came to power, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association underwent many changes, the first thing was to complete the contract renewal with NBC TV, which is bound to promote the commercialization of the Golden Globe Awards; Subsequently, Michael's series of policies have embraced the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and he has signed sponsorship contracts with many brands and renewed contracts with Hilton hotels to make the celebration after the Golden Globes even more grand and grand - both in scale and influence than the annual Oscar night in Vanity Fair.

During the non-awards period, the Hollywood Foreign Press Club is still frequent and lively, and it has also become a beautiful landscape in Hollywood in 1996. Until the release of "Independence Day".

Hugo's starring factor aside, the huge success of "Independence Day" was a joy for Michael, because he always wanted the Golden Globes to accelerate the pace of commercialization, and the nominees must not only be artistically successful, but also box office-promising, such as Forrest Gump's "Forrest Gump" in 1994. To put it simply, if the clock were a year back and Michael was in charge of the association, he would have given "The Seven Deadly Sins" a nomination for Best Picture.

"Independence Day" almost completely changed the status of computer special effects in the minds of Hollywood's die-hard investors, and completely reversed the influence of commercial films in the mainstream market - the difference between 300 million and 500 million box office is not just a difference in numbers.

This is indeed good news for Michael, and he hopes that more and more such works will appear in the future, preferably a work like "Independence Day" that can take the global box office by storm, and at the same time can win the love of critics with a more meticulous script, then the Golden Globes will not hesitate to award this work the best picture in the drama category.

However, the actor of "Independence Day" is Hugo, which makes Michael sigh.

At this time last year, the contradiction between the Ballon d'Or and Hugo was a good thing for Michael; But at this time of the year, it's a talisman.

As early as September, when the "Independence Day" box office historically exceeded 500 million, Michael began to think about this problem, he knew that bridging the gap between the Golden Globes and Hugo was a top priority, if Hugo was absent from the Golden Globes for the fourth consecutive year, it would be a fatal blow to them, affecting the direction of media word-of-mouth, which was only secondary, and most importantly, it had an important impact on Michael's "commercialization process" plan.

More than anyone, Michael longed for Hugo, who is unique today, to be present at the Golden Globes.

So when the nominees for the 54th Golden Globe Awards were announced, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave a perfect answer – at least in Michael's opinion.

For the second year in a row, Hugo was nominated for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy – nominated for "Independence Day" and will be joined by Tom Cruise for "Mr. Sweetheart," Eddie Murphy for "Fat Professor," and Nathan for "Fake Phoenix." lane) and Antonio Banderas of "Madame Perón" competed for the award.

The move of the Golden Globes is undoubtedly sensational!

When the end of 1996 arrived, all eyes were on the "British patient", "the sex book mogul". people。 vs。 larry。 Flynt), Secrets &Lies, Shine, Ice Storm, Mr. Sweetheart, and other works are passionately discussed about the ideological impact and cultural experience brought by these works.

On the contrary, Hugo, who dedicated three masterpieces last year, "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Walk", is a little quiet this year, with only one "Independence Day". Of course, just one "Independence Day" is enough to declare Hugo's current dominance, but obviously, Hugo and the major awards ceremonies at the end of the year are destined to be lost.

But now, the Golden Globes have given Hugo a nomination for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy for the first time, which is not only an accident, but also a little confusing to film critics. Of course, this isn't the first time the Golden Globes have done this, just two years ago, the Golden Globes gave Jamie Lee Curtis a nomination for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy from True Lies. Despite this, the choice of the Golden Globe Award this time is still quite disappointing.

It can be said without denying that Hugo did not show his acting skills at all in "Independence Day", he just fulfilled the basic duties of an actor, everyone knows that the biggest protagonist of "Independence Day" is computer visual effects, as a hero who saves the earth, Hugo does not have much room to play in it.

Of course, if you want to be tough, Hugo still has two or three acting skills in the movie, the most representative is the inspiring speech before the final battle. But this is still not enough to give Hugo an acting nomination.

In the face of such an absurd situation, there is no way for film critics to say that Hugo is not worthy of this nomination - now Hugo is the only actor in North America who can match Tom Hanks in acting, and the performance in "Independence Day" still shows Hugo's personal charm; But to say that the rain fruit deserves its name, it is a little soft-mouthed.

A joke from Roger Ebert represents the mainstream view, "I guess Hugo himself will not be happy because of this nomination." ”

Michael didn't expect that he extended an olive branch to Hugo, hoping to ease the embarrassment and alienation between the Golden Globes and Hugo, and hoped that Hugo could attend the 54th Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and at that time everything could be discussed slowly; But it seems to be a bit self-defeating, the critics don't buy it at all, and it seems that Hugo doesn't seem to buy it either. But the list of nominees has been announced, and Michael can only bite the bullet and catch the ducks on the shelves.

The night before yesterday, the 54th Golden Globe Awards ceremony came to an end, and Hugo did not show up as expected. To make matters worse, the reporters had no intention of sparing Michael from the moment the awards ceremony ended, and the round-the-clock non-stop phone bombardment almost drove Michael crazy.

The woe left over from last year has begun to revolt this year.
