Producer [American Entertainment]

Chapter 140 Day 14 on Earth: The Wendy White Show 4

... "Back to the Future 2" lost completely.

"Crazy Detective" ended with a box office of 2500 million that no one expected. Not only did it disdain the entire Christmas blockbuster movie, but it also beat other blockbuster movies that had previously competed for life and death in the annual box office rankings.

This "unconventional, non-mainstream, and non-favorite" movie with a black protagonist made everyone fall through their glasses.

Wendy.White's name, for the first time, was no longer William.The identity of the subsidiary or shadow of Theros appeared in the public eye and was remembered by many Hollywood giants.

[Before "The Wonderful Detective", no one would have thought that a movie with a black protagonist would be fully accepted by mainstream audiences; but "The Wonderful Detective" did it.

[Before Ms. White, no one would have thought that as the main producer for the first time, they could make a North American annual box office No. [-] movie with low-cost investment. .Theros (whose close cousin is a co-founder of Microsoft), couldn't do it back then; but she did.

[To quote Miss White at the Golden Globes:

【“Before the black dad who adopted me didn’t raise me up, no one looked up to him. They didn’t think he could really turn himself around and be a good husband and a good father; but guess what? He It did. I'm not the best, I'm not the best, but I have the best dad in the world.

【"That's why I can have today's standing here

【"The next time someone persuades you to give up and say that no one can do something, you might as well tell him that—I can!"】——By the second half of January 1984 of Variety Magazine.

The cover of the magazine used Wendy's smile at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, holding the trophy for Best Comedy Movie.

Wendy was wearing a majestic fishtail dress with a high bun, revealing a curvaceous neck and platinum-gold tassel earrings. She seemed to be shining brightly in front of the camera , flashing through the bright lights.

……

"Wow." Oprah praised exaggeratedly.

It was the Oprah show many years later, and the guest was the strong woman Wendy.At this time, they are watching the scenes of the 80s through the electronic big screen on the show site. Whether they are high-spirited or foolish and say stupid things, those are the past that cannot be returned, it is the witness of time, it is the years The traces of Wendy's most beautiful years.

Wendy, who was sitting on the side watching these videos and photos with Oprah, covered her face in embarrassment: "God, what kind of vision did I have in the 80s, why did I wear such heavy makeup! Ugly crying!"

No matter how glamorous and glamorous the banquet makeup looks at the moment, it will be unbearable to look at it after a few decades.

"Hahaha, it's not good to be in the entertainment industry. The images of the past may become today's 'black history'. In fact, I think your dress is still very good-looking." Oprah "comforted" Wendy road.

"Mig and Will were selected together. They have always been very discerning in this aspect. To be honest, Mig used to ask me who is the man in our friendship, and he was about to give me that. 'Bad straight man eyes' knelt down." When Wendy mentioned her friends, she always had endless topics to talk about.

Just like when Wendy won the award, William and Miguel were about to clap their hands in the audience.They are always like this, not necessarily for themselves, but for the other party, they will always be excited and self-destruct their image.

In the live post on the Skype forum that year, Margaret and Lydia, who have been finely divided for many years and have been very good, even posted on the account of the administrator "ML1966" - ah, my male god is really Su Wo With a face, he might not even smile when he wins an award, but his friend can laugh so silly when he wins an award. Male god, your idol burden is crying, did you make it? !Pick it up quickly!

Anyone who often hangs out on Skype forums knows that the administrator "ML1966" is a fan of William.With such an identity, Margaret not only won't be talked about by posting this post, but even attracted many people to follow along or feel sorry for William.

Wendy still thinks of that post, and wants to laugh out loud regardless of her image.

"Hey, back to the topic, remember your last speech at the Golden Globe Awards? 'So I want to thank William, my boss, my friend, my Bole.' This seems to be nothing like the previous very inspirational speech Inevitable connection, many people were guessing the truth back then, and I was one of them, this time you must satisfy my curiosity."

"...If I said that I thought we would not win the award, I didn't prepare the acceptance speech at all, I could only perform on the spot, and the result failed, would you believe it?"

"If this is regarded as a failure, then after I win the award, don't I always fail in my speech?" Oprah didn't believe it.

The audience at the scene also expressed their disbelief.

but……

This is indeed true.Wendy's romantic hostess design is reflected in all aspects, for example, she really thinks it is impossible for her to win the Golden Globe for the first time when she is nominated for the first time. Didn't she bring her parents to the scene?

Even if the average person thinks that their chances of winning a prize are low, with the mentality of "maybe", they will more or less prepare for it.But Wendy is such a "sincere" person. She felt that she couldn't get it, so she didn't have an editor at all. With a heart of going to soy sauce and watching celebrities, she became the biggest winner of the night. The surprise on her face during the live broadcast was amazing. It's not bad at all, she doesn't have that acting skills.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wendy excitedly hugged Roy, William, and Mig for a long time before she came to the stage to accept the award. It was because she couldn't control her excitement and had no experience.

But God knows, she was actually sharpening her guns before the battle, begging each of them to tell her what to say after going up.

Everyone thought very well of Wendy, but Wendy couldn't hold back her disappointment. After taking the stage, facing so many people and cameras, there was only a blank in her mind.By the time she realized it, she had already started "nonsense". Although it seemed that she had unexpectedly achieved the effect of inspirational chicken soup, she didn't have a normal train of thought at all.

So when it comes to thanking companies, teams, and friends, Wendy just remembers to thank William foolishly.

Later, Wendy was bombarded by the media for a long time because of this troublesome thank you word, which caused a lot of trouble.Although it also unexpectedly achieved the effect of publicity, Wendy was still "screamed" by William, MiG and her boyfriend afterwards.

On the Oprah show many years later, PR (public relations) Margaret reminded Wendy that she must not forget to "clean up" herself this time.

So, Wentilisuo fluently said the lines she had prepared a long time ago, and she replied to Oprah: "Well, I really can't lie to you. The truth is, thanks to William, what I said to me is really true. There is an inevitable connection. The passage about my father in the testimonial was actually first told to me by William to motivate me."

Wendy's words are not really a lie. She did have a similar relationship with William before she made "The Secret".

"Do you still remember that year when I went to your house for dinner? Your father was drunk and kept talking. Back then, no one thought he could educate you well, and thought you would become the second generation of criminals. But you used your today ——Graduated from an Ivy League school, working at MGM-United Artists, with a monthly salary of tens of thousands, owning a car and a house, and having a boyfriend who is a gold medal lawyer——slapped all doubters in the face. Your father feels that he is finally proud, It's a great feeling to be able to hold your head up among your relatives.

"It's the same today, no one is optimistic about you, because you are a producer for the first time, because you are a woman, because your film has a black protagonist... Are you ready to compromise under this mindset? Don't you want to do what your father has done? You may not be able to do what others can't do.

"Your father and I have both done it. I can tell you that it feels really fucking cool. I think you can feel it too."

On the show, Wendy said: "William is right, I was lucky to meet him, otherwise I would never experience that kind of excitement, I strongly recommend everyone who hears this to try. Hope I can be your luck too."

Oprah laughed even brighter. Her show likes this kind of inspirational chicken soup, the more positive the energy, the better.

"The truth of one gossip is revealed, and there is another one." Oprah looked at Wendy "poorly", "Anyway, this is all said, you don't mind satisfying me with another gossip."

"...Come on." Wendy said helplessly.

"Did you and Director Beckett really not affect your relationship because of the box office?" Oprah's topic was a bit provocative, and the audience's attention increased by one percentage point.

Fortunately, this script was written long ago, and Wendy handled it with ease.

"Although I have more revenue than Mig at the North American box office, at the global box office, "Back to the Future 2" has earned nearly 5000 million. This is the foundation and accumulation of "Back to the Future 1" that year. In the end, we only got those North American box office and a little bit of British box office income, and the rest suffered from Waterloo."

The income of the "Back to the Future" series has already developed from short-term box office to long-term amusement park income, and there is nothing to turn around.

The main thing is...

"The second place of the year was not "Back to the Future 2", but "Ghostbusters", remember? That classic supernatural comedy, that created a new trend. To 'hate' MiG is also going to 'hate' the second, why 'hate' me as the number one?"

On the box office list that year, "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" (Spielberg and Lucas) was fourth, "Emerald" (directed by Robert) was eighth, and "Modern Mermaid" (starring Hanks) tenth.The main creators of these films are almost all Wendy's acquaintances. She is the number one, under the help of William, that is, to save money and avoid disasters and ask everyone to spend a lot of money, and then she will be fine.

To be honest, the big winner that year was actually MGM-United Artists, and they accounted for five of the top ten movies at the box office.

"Actually, the real winner should be Mr. Theros. Among the five top ten films of MGM-United Artists, four of them are projects led or indirectly led by him." Oprah couldn't help exclaiming. Hearing, this vision is too accurate. If it weren't for William's lack of skills, would he plan to occupy the top ten?

"...Thank you for the reminder." Wendy only realized it today after so many years. At that time, it was William who should have divided the land from the local tyrants. Why did everyone "share the same hatred" with her instead?

Oprah gasped exaggeratedly: "I hope Mr. Theros, who can watch this episode at home, don't blame me for letting an 'unjust case' many years ago come to light today. I still want to continue with NBC. Subscribe to my talk show."

The audience almost laughed.

"Now that you have answered two of my curiosity..."

"You have a third curiosity, don't you?"

"Cough, it's good that you understand. This is the most difficult to answer. The most successful film directed by Beckett - "Because We Are Family" was recently revealed to be a standard Oscar PR template. First before the Oscars Small-scale screenings in a few months, and then large-scale releases during the awards season, the intensive professional offensive made the film's limelight the same for a while.

"Especially for a long time after Valentine's Day on February 1985, 2, your current husband, your boyfriend Lawyer Lowe, proposed to you in the theater all over the place.

"It even caused a trend, that is, many people chose to follow suit in marriage proposals, and most of them chose the movie "Because We Are a Family".

"Is this really one of the pre-discussed publicity strategies for the Olympics?

"Is that why Director Beckett was the one who had the last laugh?"

Some people said that they did not forget to promote the movie when they proposed, and some even simply said that they proposed while they were promoting the movie.It's almost on par with a certain actress in the golden age who "threatened with illness" and finally won an Oscar. In the column for the producers of "Because We Are Family", only the three names "Mig Beckett, William Therus, and Wendy White" are written.

Is this really how people in Hollywood "entertain to death"?Can you even sacrifice your once in a lifetime proposal?
