I’m in Hollywood

Chapter 841

During the conversation, Gloria Stewart, the seventeen-year-old old Rose who played the role, slowly stepped into the backstage with the help of everyone. ★√く√く

Then, Maggie, see you at the Vanity Fair party, Eric greeted Madonna, certainly not talking about the Yahoo Music Store, and walked towards Gloria Stewart.

The old man has been helped by everyone to sit down on the sand. Although the awards ceremony has been going on for more than two hours, Gloria Stewart is still in a very good state of mind. Pei Xi helped the little golden man in her hand, smiled and muttered: It's incredible, it's incredible.

As one of the actresses of the golden age, Gloria Stewart has faded out of the circle as early as the 1940s, so this is the first time she has been nominated for an Oscar and won an award.

Eric came over and held the old man's hand to congratulate him. Everyone chatted lively for a while. The old man did not agree with his daughter's suggestion to go back to rest early, hoping to witness the last moment. Eric personally helped the old man to rebuild. Return to the auditorium.

Just after returning to his seat, last year's Best Director winner Robert Zemeckis took to the stage to introduce the Best Director nominee.

The five best director candidates are featured on the big screen in close-up.

Robert Zemeckis opened the envelope and announced a name that was no longer in doubt: Oscar goes to, James Cameron, Titanic.

With applause and cheers, everyone around the Titanic crew stood up excitedly, and Eric stood up, clapping and looking at Cameron who was hugging everyone in the back row.

Because of sitting in the room, seeing Cameron coming, Eric just stretched out his hand, wanting to give Cameron a high-five to celebrate, Cameron held Eric's hand, but did not leave, but walked over to sit William Stewart and Drew, who were on the periphery of Eric, forced their way over.

The laughter of the people around, William Stewart and Drew hurriedly let them into the aisle with a smile.

Eric took Cameron's bear hug, patted him on the back twice, and said with a smile: Man, I know you are very excited, go up, everyone is waiting for you.

Thank you, Eric, no matter what, Cameron said again, let go of Eric, and made a fist with him before continuing to walk towards the stage.

Eric turned around, the girl had already occupied his seat, pointed at his original seat with a smile, and said, You better sit here, I don't want to wait for Jim to step on the dress, it's very expensive. .

Eric had to sit next to him, listening to Cameron express his acceptance speech quickly, and asked William Stewart beside him, William, you will definitely be on stage later, how do you feel?

Oscar's best picture can declare up to three places, the original time and space Titanic only nominated Cameron and Jon Landau.

But this time, as one of the important producers, Firefly also reported William Stewart's name. Although there were many unpleasant experiences during the shooting, Cameron did not object to Firefly's arrangement.

Very excited, said William Stewart, shook his head again, and smiled: However, this experience is enough, it's too difficult to work with Jim. After a pause, William Stewart tentatively said: Eric, I would like to help you as a producer.

On the stage, Cameron thanked Eric again, the camera swept over, Eric nodded with a smile, waited for the camera to leave, and said: This is a good note, I also hope that someone familiar with CG special effects can come. Help me, you must have accumulated a lot of experience this time.

Early on, Jeffrey was in charge of producing Eric's films. After Jeffrey retired, Jerry Bruckheimer took over the position, and the cooperation between the two parties on Jurassic Park was also very happy.

It's just that in recent years, Jerry Bruckheimer has been focusing more and more on his own film and television companies. Although these companies are all affiliated with Firefly, he is definitely not able to serve Eric wholeheartedly. Producer. After completing the Casino Royale with the Broccoli brothers and sisters, Eric needs to find a new producer to help him take care of the production affairs.

William Stewart obviously also realized this opportunity. Hearing Eric say this, he immediately said: That's it.

Eric could understand William Stewart's urgency and replied with a smile: Of course, that's it.

On the stage, Cameron once again shouted the iconic I am the king of the world and left the stage with applause from everyone.

Then, Al Pacino took the stage for the best picture award, and the result was naturally no surprise.

Cameron, who hurriedly returned to his seat, got up again and walked to the stage with Jon Landau and William Stewart.

So far, the 69th Academy Awards have come to a perfect curtain call, and Titanic finally won 13 statuettes, creating an unprecedented award record in the history of the Oscars.

It is already early morning on the east coast of the United States, but in Los Angeles on the west coast, the time is just nine o'clock in the evening, which is the beginning of nightlife.

After the show, no matter whether they won the prize or not, most of the guests went to parties of all sizes scattered all over Los Angeles.

After several years of exhibitions, Condé Nast Group has paid more and more attention to the brand effect brought by the Vanity Fair party, and has devoted more and more contacts and resources to attract the core guests of the Oscars to participate. As a win-win cooperation, there are also more and more superstar celebrities who tend to Vanity Fair parties after the Oscars.

Firefly and Condé Nast have reached a cooperation agreement before the Oscars, and will cancel the separate celebration party and direct all its crews to the Vanity Fair party. In exchange, Condé Nast's media needs to provide more space for the follow-up promotion of Firefly's award-winning film. resource.

Therefore, after the awards ceremony, the main creators of the two crews of Titanic and Red Alert rushed to the venue of the Vanity Fair party, Beverly Hills Art Heart.

Eric took Drew to get out of the car in the parking lot, and Peter Rich took a team of bodyguards to separate the crazy reporters waiting outside, escorting the two of them into the heart of Art.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Eric saw a young man with a bald forehead warmly greeted him.

Who is this? The girl asked suspiciously, leaning on Eric.

Peter Ritchie had followed him at this time and whispered in Eric's ear: Louis Horwitz, the director of this awards ceremony.

The young man walked forward at this time, as if he didn't notice Peter Rich's whisper to Eric, and reached out his hand enthusiastically: Eric, congratulations, 13 awards, this is a miracle.

Thank you, Mr. Horwitz, Eric reached out and shook hands with him, This awards ceremony is also very good.

Haha, I'm glad you like it, Louis Horwitz greeted Eric with a blushing face, and it wasn't until the two parties entered the party hall that Louis Horwitz said goodbye and left.

The girl looked at the figure of the other party leaving and said, What an interesting guy, so excited, as if he also won an award.

He must have won the award, Eric said with a smile, turning his head to ask Peter Rich who was following behind him: The ratings of this awards ceremony should be counted, right?

Yes, Mr. Williams, Peter Ritchie said, according to preliminary statistics from aBc, the average viewership is 5.1 million, which is 1200,000 higher than last year. The highest viewership data appeared in the last ten minutes, 5.55 million. According to this kind of data, the price of this Oscar's 30-second advertisement should be around 950,000 US dollars, which is 30% higher than previous years. As a director, Mr. Louis Horwitz should be able to get a certain bonus commission.

After listening to Eric, he smiled and said, Look, he did win the award.

The girl smiled and said, Hehe, it's definitely not as valuable as the awards we got.

Having said that, Eric remembered something again and asked Peter Rich, Is Madonna coming over?

Peter Ritchie said: Miss Ciccone should be on the invite list, do I need to ask?

Eric nodded and said again: If you are sure she will come, you call someone to send some samples of Firef1yer, I will use it later.

Okay, Peter Rich said, and seeing that Eric had no other orders, he hurriedly turned and left.

The girl turned her head to look at the figure that Peter Rich had left, and said with a smile: What about a very capable guy, Eric, if that's the case, why do you plan to let him work at FFm?

Eric took two glasses of wine from the waiter, handed it to the girl, and explained, Just like Aaron, these people should be considered our direct descendants.

Eric originally arranged his assistant Alan Fissman to aBc as the department manager. After several years of tempering, he has been promoted to aBbsp; it was Alan's success that gave Eric a certain inspiration. Let him decide to continuously select elites from his assistant's office, take them with him for a while to get acquainted with them, and then arrange them to work in major companies in the Firefly system according to their personal abilities, so as to build a management team of direct lineage.

Of course, Eric will not give these people special care by cronyism. Unless they can prove their strength, they will still face the fate of being eliminated.

The girl just nodded her head, and the guests in the party hall came up one after another, so she put aside the idea and started to communicate with Eric enthusiastically in the crowd.

As more and more people rushed to the party scene, the hall became more and more lively.

The Titanic crew, who gathered almost all the glory tonight, was undoubtedly the most dazzling group of people. For a long time after the party started, everyone spent a series of congratulations and compliments.

It took about an hour for Eric to get away alone. Madonna had just arrived at the party scene and came over to say hello.

Eric took the Firef1yer player from Peter Ritchie who was waiting on the sidelines and walked to Madonna, who was chatting with people in the booth.

Sitting across from Madonna was a Hollywood male star that Eric was not very familiar with. He was twenty-five or six years old, and seemed to have appeared in teen horror films that have become popular in recent years.

Eric couldn't call the other party's name, he just said: Hey, can I chat with Maggie alone?

Although the young man was flirting with the queen, he immediately woke up when he saw Eric, and he obviously misunderstood something, and said humbly and a little panic, Of course, Mr. Williams, I, oh, I This leaves.

Madonna looked at the little fresh meat that was about to disappear, pouted, and saw Eric sitting down opposite her, she immediately became interested again and began to tease: Eric, I am I'm going to start a new romance, and now you're messing with me, how are you going to make up for me?

Eric didn't mean to accept the move, he had no interest in this cold and unrestrained singer, just took out the Firef1yer in his pocket and handed it over, saying: Hey, I'll give you this compensation. .

Madonna picked up the sky blue Firef1yer and looked at it for a few times, then laughed suddenly, and said, I've seen it before, and my manager told me that this kind of little thing could seriously damage the sales of physical records.

As she said that, Madonna glanced at Eric with interest, with some understanding and ridicule in her eyes, as if she wanted to see how Eric would answer.

In the 1970s, when Sony first introduced the VCR, Hollywood had a similar view to what you think now, and Universal Pictures and the Disney Group had a decade-long lawsuit against Sony for this, Eric also didn't mind Madonna. The implicit refusal in the words said: But today, 20 years later, the annual video sales of Hollywood films have exceeded 1.3 billion US dollars, which is more than double the domestic box office data of Hollywood. It is the rise of the video tape industry, That's why Hollywood is booming today.

Having said that, Eric took out another white Firef1yer from his pocket again and said, And what we are seeing now is the future of the record industry.

It's very interesting, Madonna said while playing with the player she was holding, Eric, I'm not so easily persuaded.

I didn't intend to convince you tonight, I was just creating a chance for everyone.

Oh, what chance?

Certainly an opportunity to collaborate. (.)
