At the celebratory dinner at the Marquis of the Sunset, the conversation between the three gentlemen seemed to end in nothing.
Because the important and only heroine of the conversation had left them at her party, and she had left early hand in hand with her heroine—
Erica and Julia Roberts, who were drunk to drink, were talking about "Never Compromise" at the party. Erica suddenly had some new ideas for the shot script, so she returned to the top floor hotel she had booked for a long time Suite, ready to revise the storyboard script, while Roberts is very interested in deciding to go with him.
"We're going to be shooting in North Hollywood next week, and I want to make everything the best I can." Erika put a lot of heart and soul into the film, and not just because it's her first as a writer-director. A film, but also because it tells about a woman's unimaginable tenacity and persistence, self-improvement, and never compromise.
Julia Roberts also loves this movie very much. She has read the script countless times, "Eileen Brockovich is so inspiring, and this movie is as powerful as its heroine."
******
In April 1998, "Never Compromise" was filmed in California, and started in a low-key manner.
"The lights should be dimmed, and the emotions of the actors need to be expressed more fully and realistically—" Erica was making various complicated arrangements for the whole scene at the shooting scene.
For the film crew, the director is like the supreme commander of the army, allowing the film talents of the entire crew to creatively integrate their talents to create a classic.
Erica sits behind the video camera and sticks to the guide tube, "Action—"
"I owe the government $17000." The film opens with Erin Brockovich, the victim of a traffic accident, uninsured and bankrupt due to high medical bills.
The funny thing is, it was a decent male doctor who hurt her.
"I can't take painkillers, because I have to maintain enough physical strength to take care of my child." In the court, Erin mentioned that the child showed a kind and sweet smile, but at the same time seemed very tough. "I just want to be a child." Good mother, and a good person."
But the elite lawyer on the plaintiff’s bench attacked her personal life—she had two failed marriages, dragged three children by herself, and was bankrupt and unemployed. He mocked, “A doctor seems to be able to make you a fortune. "
Eileen is obviously not the so-called 'perfect victim', she has a hot figure, wears a low-cut dress, and has a quick temper. "It was that bastard bastard who fucked me in the neck!"
On the same day, Irene lost the compensation lawsuit that she was determined to win, which made her life almost desperate, and the account balance was only [-] dollars.So she could only half-begged and half-forced the law firm that lost her case to give her a job.
And after entering Masri's law firm, she is obviously an unpopular person. Because of her sexy clothes and lack of work experience, people think she is a frivolous waste-two failed marriages, six years of full-time housewife life , as if she could no longer gain the respect of others.
Until her investigation uncovered a major PG&E water pollution incident that left hundreds of residents of Hinckley, Calif., seriously ill—
Hysterectomy due to cancer, spinal degeneration, various malignant cancers, five miscarriages, heart failure, tumors in the brain stem of a ten-year-old child, and even invaded people's DNA, passing this terrible carcinogenic toxin to the next generation.
Erin worked as hard as she could to make a difference, and she convinced hundreds of Hinckley residents to file a lawsuit against PG&E.
And while her career is finally taking off, her personal life is in shambles, and the kids don't understand that she's too busy to be with them.And Erin's boyfriend asked her to quit her job.
"How can you let me do this? This job is the first time in my life that I feel respected by people," Erin couldn't agree to her boyfriend's request. "I used to always revolve around men, and I always Sacrifice myself for their needs—"
She used to be a beauty queen, thinking that her life would have a bright future, but after experiencing two failed marriages and being a full-time housewife to take care of the family for six years, relying on unimaginable bravery and fearlessness, it is such a difficult talent regain a dignified life.
Eileen Brockovich said with determination, saying no to her boyfriend who asked her to resign from her law firm, "No, now, I will never do that again."
——"Good!" Erika said that the shooting of this scene passed, and then she left the camera and monitoring machine, holding a stack of thick storyboards, and discussed the composition of the next scene with the prop team and the photographer.
When the filming plan of "Never Compromise" moved forward, in New Zealand as far away as Oceania, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has also started a long filming work.
Therefore, when Erica was working in California, she had to remotely follow the filming process of "The Lord of the Rings". However, because "Never Compromise" needed to be released at the end of the year, she had no means to fly to the New Zealand crew.
She was busy with film editing and various post-productions. Until November, she finally completed all the production details of the entire film and successfully set the Christmas season schedule.
On December 1998, 12, "Never Compromise" landed in North American theaters, becoming one of Hollywood's blockbuster events of the year.
"True magical star movie, eager and principled, unreservedly brilliant performance, so gritty and convincing. The Oscar candidate list has definitely written the names of Erika Parker and Julia Roberts ."--"New York Times"
"Without a doubt, this is one of the most brilliant and accurate films ever made about life in working-class America. Two movie stars have brought us a film of such charismatic quality." - The Hollywood Reporter
"Irresistible, energizing feminist masterpiece. Not winning for Erica and Julia would be the biggest disappointment on Oscar night." --Los Angeles Times
Critic William Goldman also made no secret of his praise, "Arica Parker and Julia Roberts once again proved to the world how much audiences love women's films. These two biggest female stars in the world , and together set a staggering $5000 million opening weekend box office.
Single moms, mothers and kids with cancer, a big, unseen bad company, and a battle for justice—it's all true again.
The women all love this movie.And we can't imagine this movie without the larger-than-life talents of Erica and Julia.
There is no doubt that these two high-profile ladies have absolutely locked the Oscar nominations——
We can even think that the best actress is undoubtedly Julia Roberts.
"Never Compromise" is a movie based on real events that appeals to conscience, and Academy nominations have always favored real people.Not to mention a passionate lady battling big corporations, it's almost tailor-made for the Academy Awards.
As for the nomination of Erica Parker, a year ago, the academy brutally refused to affirm her performance in "Titanic", and the academy judges even had a determination to never affirm Erica's talent again.
But now, a year later, everything is completely different - the star halo effect is always particularly evident in the best director award. When a star directs a quality movie, the judges seem to go crazy immediately. "Wow, they're awesome!" the judges would say, "They're amazing—we're so lucky to be giving them an award."
Therefore, the academy judges have changed their faces at this time, and they can't wait to commend her again, but—yes, life is always full of unlucky 'buts': the critics are not optimistic about Erica's award this year .
Her award luck is really not good, she met "Saving Private Ryan" and "Life is Beautiful" this year.So I'm afraid I can only return with regret.
But even so, no one can deny Erica Parker's achievements - she is the best producer in Hollywood in the past ten years, look at the movies she served as producer, "The Truman Show", "Forrest Gump", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "The English Patient", "Titanic", "Never Compromise", "The Lord of the Rings", this resume can be called shocking to the world.
And she has just turned 28 years old. I can hardly imagine what kind of legendary career she will achieve in the future.
She has become an absolute movie mogul and loves movies so much. "
******
On March 1999, 3, at the Dorothy Chandler Hall in Los Angeles, the 21st Academy Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.
Julia Roberts won the best actress title as expected, the most beloved beautiful woman by movie audiences all over the world, finally boarded the Oscar podium, "I must thank two people for standing here, Irene Brockovich and Alan Brockovich. Ricka Parker."
She showed her signature smile and teased the organizer by the way, "Hi, I know the winners who speak for no more than 45 seconds can get a TV set from the academy, but I already have a TV, so I'm going to spend some time Tell you something."
Roberts was so friendly and cheerful, the guests laughed happily, and then, the Oscars ushered in the biggest award speech in history, which lasted for a total of 4 minutes!
At this awards ceremony, "Never Compromise" naturally failed to win the best director and best picture. These two awards should belong to "Saving Private Ryan", while "Life is Beautiful" won the best foreign language film and best film. Best Actor.
And "Never Compromise" won the honor of the best adapted screenplay. Erica stood on the award-winning stage to give a speech, "Thank you to every cast and crew who contributed their talents to "Never Compromise", and thank you to the audience who love this film Ladies, I am even more grateful to every self-improving, brave and fearless lady in this world, it is you who have proved to the world-the eternal women, who guide us to rise."
Erica concluded her acceptance speech with a poem by contemporary American poet Lucille Clifton——
"I command you to be excellent long-distance runners
Move gracefully through the dark
to the highlands
my dearest girls
I value you more than myself"
Because the important and only heroine of the conversation had left them at her party, and she had left early hand in hand with her heroine—
