Chapter 394 The Mysterious Billionaire (Earth)

Because of the change of the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, we focused on inviting a large number of celebrities, not only in Hollywood, but in the whole world.

So the guests included Meryl Streep ("The Devil Wears Prada" and others), Jessica Lange (who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "My Fair Lady"), Leonardo Deca Prior, Dwayne Johnson (Dwayne Johnson), Samuel L. L. Jackson (Mr. The Way of Water), Jennifer Connor (Oscar Best Supporting Actress for A Beautiful Mind), Emilia Clarke (Dragon Mom), Ariana DeBose (action film Argyle ) heroine), Martin Scorsese (director of "The Departed" and "The Wolf of Wall Street"), Hayao Miyazaki ("Laputa", etc.)...

Just looking at this list, it is already a grand lineup comparable to Oscar.

When we arrived at the scene, there must be more than these guests. Those actors, directors and film and television practitioners who were not enough to be listed in the list of promotional posters were not mentioned by the organizer.

At any awards ceremony, apart from the relevant stars of the nominated films, other stars will not be willing to appear on the scene just as a foil, and the Oscar is no exception. Of course, the Golden Globe is not qualified. Awards are for attraction and seduction.

So, who will the best actor go to? Truman in "Spawn" or Xiao Li in "The Rise of Roosevelt"?
For reporters, Truman is the star who attracts more attention. Unlike the last time he participated in the Oscars, Truman now has an Academy Award and three successful commercial blockbusters in hand. fields can be called outstanding.

The host of this year's Golden Globes is Jerrod Carmichael.

The black comedy star complained about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the original organizer of the Golden Globe Awards.

He said: "Welcome to the 85th Film and Television Golden Globe Awards, but have you bought a ticket? I didn't buy a ticket because they don't sell tickets to black people."

There was laughter.

Because the joke is satirizing the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization that has manipulated the Golden Globes for nearly 80 years, has done a lot of ridiculous things, such as reselling tickets at high prices, or just because they were invited by the film studio to travel, and "Deadly Companion" This crappy film was voted Best Picture and so on.

At the same time, none of its 87 judges is black, which is too "politically incorrect" in today's Hollywood. This stubborn and conservative organization can exist for 80 years, and its influence is growing. anecdote.

The scandals over the years have led to the rapid collapse of the Golden Globe Awards. Tom Cruise has returned the three Golden Globes he won to show a clear line with him. More than 3 entertainment companies, including Netflix, Amazon and Warner, have also clearly expressed that unless The Golden Globe Awards will be restructured, otherwise it will no longer cooperate with it.

It was also the final straw that broke the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Golden Globes.

Eldridge Industries and Dick Clark Productions then acquired the Golden Globes assets.

"Fortunately, we have a new judging committee and judging rules. Here we would like to thank Todd." Gerald Carmichael said on stage, "Come on, Todd, tell us a few words."

A blond middle-aged man sitting in the first row stood up, but he did not go to the stage, but stood there and turned around to wave to all the guests, saying hello.

There was thunderous applause.

Todd Boehly (Todd Boehly), a rich man in the United States, has been on the Forbes Global Billionaires list all year round. He is a rich man who does not like to show his face. The most well-known is that he bought from Abramovich in 2022. acquired all of Chelsea's shares.

For well-known reasons, Abramovich can no longer hold Chelsea shares because of his nationality, and Todd Burleigh acquired Chelsea's tens of billions worth of shares for only 25 billion pounds.

This is not Abramovich's half-selling half-giving, but Todd's half-grabbing and half-buying. People can't help but wonder who is behind Todd who is supporting him and allowing him to eat such a huge commercial profit.

Now, looking at this legendary rich man, all the Hollywood stars present gave him warm applause.

Among all the enthusiastic applause, Truman, who was sitting there motionless, was especially obvious.

Truman was also sitting in the first row. At this moment, he tilted his head and looked at Todd Burleigh, with curiosity and vigilance slowly appearing in his eyes.

The camera was shown on Truman, but it was just a hasty sweep and then passed by.

Todd is not Zesheng, and this is not the United Nations General Assembly. It is very common for a star not to applaud the winner of the Golden Globe Award for various reasons, let alone the Chinese who is famous for his eccentric temper.

The little episode passed by in a flash.

Then began the Golden Globe Awards.

Since the Golden Globes changed to a new owner, they have become richer and richer, not only imitating the Oscars in form and scale, but also winning in the scene.

This year's Golden Globe Awards adopted a holographic projection award method, which will project the nominated film screens, actor shapes and trophy shapes onto the center of the stage through laser projection.

So the audience can see the 5-meter-high Little Li and Dashi Johnson.

Similarly, the show is even more exciting. The protagonists of the film or the theme song singers come to the scene to perform singing or dancing. There are a bunch of names of famous music stars on the program list. The media commented that "the Grammy trophies in their hands can fill a room." .

The award ceremony begins.

There are a total of 24 awards in the Golden Globe Awards. After the reorganization, the names and awarding order of the awards have not changed, so the stars here are familiar with the process, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Plot, Best Screenplay...

Plum didn't win Best Supporting Actor for his role as the demon Caesar in Spawn, which went to Samuel L. Jackson for Gravity.

But it is impossible for Xiao Lizi to fail.

With Xiao Lizi's status, Oscar can let him run with him, but the Golden Globes absolutely dare not.

This time Xiao Lizi was able to appear on the scene, the probability of him winning the award is almost 99%, and the other 1% is because the Golden Globe Awards Organizing Committee deliberately spoofed this super A coffee.

Now, Adam, who was sitting in the back row, realized that there seemed to be something wrong here.

Xiao Lizi has two films participating in this year's Golden Globe Awards judging, one is the supporting role in "Spawn" and the other is the leading role in "The Rising of Roosevelt". If it is not the best supporting actor, it is the best actor.

But... Truman is also one of the candidates for the best actor.

Of course, there are four Golden Globe Awards for best actor, two for movies and two for TV, and "Spawn" declared for both movies, and both were nominated.

So you can still look forward to it.

In addition, "Spawn" also applied for the best picture and best director, but Martin Scorsese also came to the scene. Mr. Martin is over 70 years old, and his honor is equal. If there is no Golden Globe, he will not promise him, Mr. Martin It is also impossible to come to the scene.

So the best director, Truman also faces a huge competition.

Could it be... the Golden Globes will give the best picture to Truman?

Adam vaguely felt bad.
