Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 788 Oscar Curse

This time the Golden Globes are still star-studded. As a global event, many stars may not agree with this award in their hearts, but they still come to have a sense of presence.

Why do many people have so many opinions on this award?In fact, there are two main reasons. One is that the review is not authoritative enough.Anyone who is familiar with this award knows that it was founded by the Foreign Press Association and belongs to the Charity Foundation Association. It is generally divided into cakes, and its authority is difficult to guarantee.

Just look at the Oscars. Thousands of judges will select the final winners, and fairness can be expected.As for saying that they are not very "friendly" to young people and commercial films, there is no way to do it, it is a conceptual problem left over from history.Maybe after they all retire, new judges will add some youth to this award.

Another reason is that the award itself is not authoritative enough.Oscar is an award created purely for movies, and there are many refined awards.

But the Golden Globe Awards not only have awards for movies, but also awards for TV dramas, which makes people feel unprofessional.And since the judges consisted of 96 journalists, two-thirds of whom were part-timers, this award would not have awarded technical awards.

But these don't matter, the stars are happy to get more trophies, and they are also happy to have such a place of attention that can make themselves familiar in front of the audience.

This year's awards are fiercely contested, Lera's Lord of the Rings aside, Brokeback Mountain has seven nominations.In addition, George Clooney's "Good Night, Good Luck" is also gaining momentum, winning nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, etc., which can be regarded as a very strong opponent.

After Lila and Roy found their seats and sat down, they saw Louise waiting there.As a producer, she also needs to be present at such a party, because if the best picture award is won, it is usually the producer who takes the stage to accept the award.

"A few of your old acquaintances are here today." Louise reminded Leila in her ear.

Laila raised her eyebrows: "Old acquaintance?"

Louise glanced back.

"Oh, so it's them." Laila suddenly understood.It turned out that the old acquaintances she was referring to were several oriental directors and actors who had visited her company.

When she was filming and framing in the East, several directors followed her, nominally as a handyman, and Leila didn't really want to be a handyman to use others.But also because of their help, some places did save a lot of work and time.Although they learned a lot, it was something that Laila didn't intend to keep privately, so it was a mutual benefit.

Later, after the filming of Dongfang was over, these people also organized an exchange group to visit her film company and special effects company, and both parties had a good friendship.

"This time, there are two oriental films participating in the competition for the best foreign language film, and Ms. Zhang Ziyi has also been nominated for the best actress. They should appear here."

It's just that when arranging seats, the front row seats are usually given to more famous directors, actors, or crews. As for those who are not very famous, they can only be arranged at the end with grievances. That's preferential treatment.Unlike the people on the tables in front of them, they can still get close-ups from time to time.

And the purpose of their coming is not just to show their face at the award ceremony, when they get the award, they can enjoy the much-anticipated treatment.

Looking at the several oriental directors who were talking with the film crew, Leila looked back regretfully.It's great that they're here, but their film didn't get the results they wanted.Of the five films vying for foreign language films, two are from the East, namely "The Promise" and "Kung Fu".

It seems that the chances of winning the award seem to be higher than those of the remaining three films. Unfortunately, the final award fell to Pakistan's "Paradise Now", which made the two oriental films fail.

"Director Moran, hello." Zhang Ziyi came over to greet Laila.It hasn't officially started yet, and quite a few people are walking up and down talking to people they know.So it's not unexpected that she came here.

"Hello." Laila has a good impression of all Orientals who can gain a foothold in Hollywood, and Zhang Ziyi is naturally among them.

Of course she knows that many people in China don't like her, especially her love life has been criticized and ridiculed by many people.But those Lyras didn't care, she always looked at the acting skills of the actors, not her private life.Besides, no matter how bad her private life is, it has nothing to do with her, does it?

"Congratulations on your nomination for Best Actress in a Drama Series." Laila congratulated her with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi smiled: "Thank you, but I don't think I have many chances to win the award. The competition is really fierce. Miss Charlize Theron is also being nominated."

Lila knew that Charlize was also vying for the Best Actress award when she got the nomination list. I didn't take it to heart.

Now that Zhang Ziyi mentioned it, she remembered that she hadn't seen her for a long time.

After Theron successfully won the Oscar for Best Actress with "The Devil", the famous Oscar curse fell on her.

This curse is the winner of the Best Actress award at the Oscars, and will be plagued by bad luck after winning the award.Unmarried people will break up with their boyfriends, and married people will have a marriage change.Julia Roberts in 01, Halle Berry in 02, and poor Theron.

After getting the actress, her love life was not smooth. She and her boyfriend Stuart broke up rumors from time to time, even people like Leila who don't care too much about gossip and scandals have heard of it.A person whose life is not going well can hardly guarantee the quality of her work.In the past two years, Leila has not given her an important role.

Fortunately, her agent is very good, and the Oscar queen's star path is relatively smooth, so that she will not fail to get a good role.Take this one as an example, getting a Golden Globe nomination is a testament to her performance.

But only good.If Laila is the director, I'm afraid she will be so trained that she can't hold her head up.

Turning her eyes around Theron's crew, she smiled and said, "I've seen Memoirs of a Geisha, and your performance is outstanding."

Zhang Ziyi looked happy. If even she thinks it's not bad, does it mean that she can get that award?

Laila saw her expectations but didn't say anything, and it was not easy to speak out in her position, saying that if you can't get the award, don't think about such a good thing?
