Birth of an actor

"Oh——" the hostess couldn't hide her disappointed expression: "I thought I had dug up a super big news, but it seems that the god of luck is still not very kind to me."

"Hahahaha!" There was laughter again at the awards ceremony.

The male host answered again: "William Bradley is not nominated for the Golden Globe for the first time. He was nominated for Best Actor for "Sense and Sensibility" the year before last, and he was nominated for the Best Actor in "Titanic". The performance is really great, which fully proves that in Hollywood, actors who are so handsome that people can't close their legs can also have superb acting skills, and can be favored by award ceremonies many times."

William smiled at the camera.

After the screen swept over William, the camera also pointed at Tom Cruise who came to serve as the guest of honor in the audience, obviously implying that William and Tom Cruise belong to the same kind of people—William is still very young, let’s not mention it , In fact, what the two hosts described is more in line with Tom Cruise's past. Tom cruise has insisted on not needing a stand-in for many years, and has chosen many niche films, but he has always been unable to win the Oscar's approval. For so many years Reluctantly giving one or two nominations is the greatest affirmation, but there is no Oscar and Golden Globe Award. The winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor last year was Tom Crewe, who was nominated for "Mr. Sweetheart" s.

However, it is probably because Tom Cruise was too impressed with the "idol superstar" in the past. The Golden Globe awarded him a best actor trophy last year, but he was often questioned by all walks of life. Many tabloids even Directly claiming that the best male lead is Tom Cruise's "public relations income", and also described the details of the bribery in a clear and orderly manner. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the dirty water has been poured anyway, Tom Cruise's The gold content of this best actor trophy has been stripped away by various media, especially the tabloid reporters.

After Tom Cruise found himself in the camera, he also stopped applauding and laughing in a very entertaining spirit. He frowned and pursed his lips slightly in line with the camera, and looked directly at the camera, showing his classic serious and handsome The expression, of course, was serious, and Cruise returned to laughing within a few seconds. The two expressions appeared one after another, and there was a kind of contrasting humor.

After finishing the topic of "Titanic", the two hosts, a man and a woman, quickly shifted the fire to other guests, and continued to make fun of the nominated actors, whether they are highly respected like Shirley MacLaine, they have great power Such as Steven Spielberg or eccentric Daniel Day Lewis, none of them escaped.

Although being ridiculed by the host for hugging William and Leonardo left and right, and being hacked for their acting skills, neither Kate Winslet nor Tom Cruise took the host's words to heart. The audience in front of the TV Of course not, because the style of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is like this, relaxed and humorous, and even a little late-night show style, if it is an Oscar?The host would not dare to make fun of the guests, even if both the host and the guests agree, because the Academy's old-fashioned people with an average age of over 60 are the ones who control the whole Oscar, and the only thing they can accept The style is serious and serious, serious and serious.

After introducing all the important nominated projects in series, the formal award ceremony began soon. The first award was the best supporting actress award in the film category, the nominee Gloria who played the role of old Ruth in "Titanic" Lea Stewart couldn't beat Kim Basinger's stunning performance in L.A. Secret.This result did not exceed everyone's expectations, so except for Gloria Stewart herself who was a little disappointed, everyone seemed calm.

Next up is Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Best Miniseries in a Series, and then Best Score (Movie) which was the first award for Titanic tonight, so James Cameron seemed a little agitated when he came to the stage to accept the award. He babbled on and on in front of the microphone until the staff in the audience gestured twice to remind him that the time had come. He left a sentence in the microphone: "I will be back." While making people laugh, they were also extremely jealous of James Cameron and his "Titanic".

……

"Will probably won't win the award," Christopher Evans said.

On the TV, the chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was giving a speech on stage. The awards ceremony was too long and lasted nearly three hours, so as soon as the chairman or the guest gave a speech, the audience in front of the TV rushed to the toilet. Therefore, the speaking time of the chairman of the Golden Globes or the Oscars has always been dubbed "toilet time".

Carly Evans does not want to miss any scene of the award ceremony, especially those who have swept the celebrity guests off the stage. Like all other star-chasing girls, she is happy to look for her favorite actors and stars from the screen , but the boring speech of an old man with gray hair?Forget it.

Quickly ran to the bathroom and came back, Carly Evans just in time to be awarded the Best Screenplay (Film Category), and there happened to be "Titanic" in the nomination, but Carly Evans' head was all taken by her brother The previous sentence was full of words: "What do you mean Will probably won't win an award? He got two nominations for Best Actor in a Movie and Best Supporting Actor!"

"Whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars, the two awards for best picture and best director of "Titanic" probably can't escape, because it is making history, new box office records and Hollywood's new film shooting mode, this It is a phenomenon-level film that is rarely seen once in 20 years. Although it is a bit too commercialized, if the awards ceremony does not encourage such a film, what kind of film can it encourage? So the best film and best director are decided Yes. But it is precisely because the box office of "Titanic" is so good and there are too many special effects, so there is a high chance that there will be no results in the individual performance awards." Christopher Evans finished repeating what he had heard Then he said: "I don't know more about the inside story, but I remember what Will said on the phone."

Carly Evans was furious: "You actually secretly contacted Will! When?"

Christopher Evans knew immediately that he had said the wrong thing, and he immediately shut up.

But Carly Evans insisted: "I see! It turns out that those nights when you said you would go to bed early and shut yourself in the bedroom without turning on the lights, you were secretly calling. It's so despicable Chris! I Thought you were just masturbating!"

"What do you mean just masturbating? Carly Evans, does your oldest brother look like a head full of porn magazines?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Just as the two siblings of the Evans family picked up the pillows and started a pillow fight in the living room, white feathers fell all over the floor.On the TV screen, the award presenters are announcing the winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Movie: "Judi Dench, "Mrs. Brown."

Kate Winslet did not win the award.

……

Hilton Hotel International Ballroom, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

When the best supporting actor in a movie was about to be announced, William was still chatting with Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and the rest of the crew in the audience, and the camera lens swept across the "Titanic" several times. You can find stars chattering non-stop at the table of No. [-], they almost regard the awards ceremony as an afternoon tea occasion.

People who wanted to see a joke didn’t see it as a joke, and couldn’t help being depressed, while more well-intentioned people smiled knowingly when they saw such a scene, and by the way said with emotion: "The actors of "Titanic" are generally relieved. ah."

"I regret it, Will." After recovering from the brief loss of not being able to win the award, Kate Winslet turned her head and said to William: "I should have listened to you, and used the film salary in exchange for box office dividends during filming." , so at least I can still get money."

Although no one knows how much the final box office of "Titanic" will be, but judging from the current three-month global release but still hot momentum, it is only a matter of time before one billion is broken, and a few hundred million more is also a matter of time. It’s not impossible. James Cameron, as the biggest contributor to the film, should eventually get more than $5000 million in profits—so much money is thanks to William for reminding him at the beginning, so James Cameron is now I really love William. It is well known that Cameron has a bad temper, and there are few actors who can cooperate again, but he recently said in an interview with "Variety": "If there is a chance, I would like to cooperate with Will for the second time. "

Although the box office dividend that William can get in the end is not as exaggerated as James Cameron, it is very promising if it exceeds tens of millions of dollars. The film studio undoubtedly hopes for such an actor, and the media and movie fans all over the United States are also talking about this kind of story most.

"I regret it too, Will." Leonardo DiCaprio nodded with a serious face: "Do you know how much I want to be Robin Hood to steal from the rich and give to the poor?"

"If you want me to increase your salary, no problem, I can raise it from ten dollars to fifty dollars, Kate is a little more than you, she has a full hundred dollars." William was talking about Leon with a smile Nadou and Kate are going to be in his new movie, and I suddenly heard the host on the stage say——

"Here's one of the best actors in Hollywood, Tom Cruise."

Tom Cruise, isn't that the best supporting actor presenter?William immediately corrected his sitting posture. Coincidentally, the camera swept across his face in the next second.

William smiled at the camera, but it was a little unnatural, because at that moment Leonardo DiCaprio was winking and making faces at him, and William bet the kid definitely wanted him to be there on purpose. Embarrassing in front of the camera.

Tom Cruise wore a three-piece black suit and said to the microphone in a personable manner: "I am honored to announce the winners of 'Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Movie' here, and the following are the excellent nominees."

When his name was pronounced by Tom Cruise, although he had tried his best to control it, William's mood still became tense involuntarily.

The soul seems to be split in half at this moment, and the rational side is warning: "In the original history, whether it was the Golden Globe or the Oscar, "Titanic" never won even a performance award, and you know the reason." , die of this heart, Will. '

And the emotional side is looking forward to: "Since you took the role of Carl Hockley, you have changed history, and now your performance is obvious to all. Because of this, Carl has become plump and full of soul, even the always picky The New York Film Critics Association says you deserve awards, so why not be more ambitious? '

The five nominated actors and their works have been played on the big screen, and Tom Cruise didn't keep it secret. Although he raised his eyebrows in surprise the moment he opened the envelope, he directly announced the winners: " The winner is William Bradley, Titanic. Congratulations."

William, who was at war between reason and emotion, did not hear Tom Cruise's words clearly.

……

While there was applause all around, William reflexively showed a perfect smile that had been connected a thousand and one times, and at the same time raised his hands to applaud to congratulate the winners.

Then he saw James Cameron, who was sitting directly opposite, had a strange expression on his face.

It seems that the applause is also a bit wrong?Why is everyone looking at him?Kate is that laughing?

"God, you are the one who won the award!" Leonardo DiCaprio stood up, picked William up from the seat again, and shouted in William's ear while hugging him.Yelling is a must, otherwise it can't cover the laughter and applause around.

Leonardo DiCaprio let go of William and reassured his back toward the stage: "Now, go collect your trophy!"

William walked quickly towards the stage in a daze, shaking hands with many people along the way, as if someone squeezed his ass?

The moment he climbed the steps, William took a deep breath and felt that his heartbeat was finally much more stable.

"Congratulations, Will." Tom Cruise held out his arms while handing out the trophy.

William hugged the other party, and when he wanted to kiss the cheek, he suddenly remembered that this was a man in front of him, so he could only pat the other party's back with stiff arms, but Tom Cruise was almost taken aback by William's lips that suddenly approached , the two embraced for a little longer in a slightly stiff posture before letting go.

Tom Cruise took a step back and stood at the back of the stage to signal to William that it was time for his acceptance speech.

William held the trophy—the shape of the trophy was a golden ball surrounded by film, and the metal platform was gold-plated. The weight was really heavy, no matter in terms of real weight or honor—facing the bottom of the stage, he felt At this moment, his mood was calm and his mind was clearer. When he opened his mouth and was about to speak, William suddenly realized—he seemed to have forgotten to prepare his acceptance speech?

Jesus Christ, pray that Ami's mother will get well soon, leaving his manager who is taking care of her mother in front of the hospital bed at the moment, he really forgot such an important thing as preparing the acceptance speech in advance!

"I have to say I didn't expect this at all." William raised the trophy in his hand, and finally said: "Really, because I haven't even typed a little bit of script, can the teleprompter help me, such as Say it directly shows Edward Norton's acceptance speech last year?"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and everyone at the table of the crew of "Titanic" almost died of laughter.

"Thank you, thank you Hollywood Foreign Press Association, you are too generous, so I don't have to leave empty-handed a second time."

The chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in the audience showed an amused expression.

"I saw every nominated film, and everyone was so good, to be able to win this award, I would like to give a special thanks to James Cameron, Jimmy, we had a lot of disputes in the interpretation of the characters, there have been several times I I was worried that you were going to fire me, thank you for not doing that, and even supporting my way of acting in the end."

A camera pans to the round table of the "Titanic" crew, and James Cameron is looking at William on the stage and smiling.

William began to officially deliver his acceptance speech. Although he really didn't prepare the draft, what he just said about last year's Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor Edward Norton was just a joke, to brighten the atmosphere or something, and according to his observation that The joke works really well.

"Thank you Leo, Kate and everyone on Titanic, you are so talented, Fox CEO Bill Mochanek, Madeleine and Lance, you are my inspiration, and finally thank you My agent, Amon Goffman, you're the biggest bulldozer I've ever had in Hollywood, take care of my troubles, shovel away everything, it's a pity you won't be there tonight to see me win, Goff Good morning Ms. Man!"

In the end, William stood upright, put the three fingers of his right hand together, raised his eyebrows and gave a boy scout salute, and then walked down the stage amidst warm applause and laughter.

……

The host on the stage was already proceeding to the next session, but off the stage, William was still in the excitement of winning the award,

From the stage to the seat, too many people greeted him, Steven Spielberg, Matt Damon, Peter Fonda, Julianne Moore, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lowe Pace, George Clooney, Merrill Splitter, David Duchovny... William received more congratulations, handshakes and hugs than he could count.

So much so that William himself was surprised: Does he know them that well?Or, did he really know them?

Or, this is the charm of awards ceremony?Until you get a trophy from an important awards ceremony like the Golden Globes or Oscars, you can be regarded as truly affirmed by the innermost circle of Hollywood—the group of actors, actresses, queens, and bigwigs.

For the rest of the awards show, whenever the camera cut to William, he was talking to someone else, either Juliet Roberts or Tom Cruise, and Martin Scorsese, so much so that until the awards show Leonardo DiCaprio, who was unable to chat with William at the end, mockingly nicknamed him: William Beverly socialite Bradley.
