phone-reading

"Dingling, Jingling..." The dense telephone ringing in the office kept ringing, seeming to be a little irritable and rushing, and there was no way to calm down. People just want to end this annoying ringing quickly. However, Michael Russell, who was sitting behind his desk, had no intention of picking up the phone at all. He focused on writing something on the desk file.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the document is actually full of swear words like "F**k", and Michael's left hand holding the pen is getting harder and harder, and finally he just lifted his left hand and wanted to The pen in his hand broke-but there was no way to do what he wanted. On the contrary, it made his hands faintly hurt, which made Michael almost angry from the ground and threw the pen out severely. But at this time the phone ring was still ringing reluctantly, Michael stood up angrily, unplugged the phone line, and then threw the phone out severely.

The sound finally stopped, and the world was finally quiet.

Michael didn't stop, he strode to the door, opened the office door forcefully, and shouted at the outside, "I said! Don't transfer any calls in, don't you understand? It's any call! I need to be quiet! Damn it, don't give me even a moment of silence."

Michael's rude voice reverberated in the hall, stunned the busy staff. Michael's assistant was even more shivering and sitting there at a loss. Fortunately, Michael didn't continue to struggle, and then he slammed the office up, leaving only a string of anger in the air, making everyone stare at each other.

Everyone knows what pressure Michael is under. With the closing of the 54th Golden Globe Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association has once again become the target of thousands of people. As the chairman of the association, Michael has become the offensive for everyone. The goal of this kind of taste is uncomfortable. Don't talk about Michael, even members of the association have recently closed their mouths, lowered their heads, and behaved honestly.

only. They didn't expect that Michael would lose control of his emotions in public... If there were undercover reporters from other media, the headlines of the newspapers would have been imaginable tomorrow.

In fact, even Michael did not expect that he would lose control of his emotions, that kind of nameless fire was almost uncontrollable, and the huge pressure on his shoulders almost made him unable to support him. At this moment, Michael finally knew at the same moment last year, why Marjana Blaricone was so irritable.

This time last year. Marjana, who was the chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at the time, was in a state of desperation-because the Golden Globe winners list caused a huge controversy, they awarded the best actor in the drama category to Nicholas Cage. Hugo, who relied on "Death Row" to win praise, won four nominations for Best Actor in a Drama, Best Actor in a Musical Comedy, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay. The performance in "Before" harvested the best actor in a musical comedy, which caused a voice of doubt.

The awarding of the awards was originally controversial. It’s fine, but the problem is that Hugo refused to attend the Golden Globe awards ceremony. A hard slap in the face of the Golden Globes. later. Hugo relied on absolute strength to achieve the summit at the Oscars and achieved the pinnacle of his career.

This makes the Golden Globes situation quite embarrassing.

Originally, these so-called controversies were merely media public relations crises. As long as they were handled properly, subsequent troubles could be avoided. However, at that time Michael and Marjana were vying for control of the association. Michael hoped to further commercialize the Golden Globes and seek more. Interest, but Marjana is unwilling. so. In the end, Michael pushed a little behind and made things completely out of control.

The result made Michael satisfied-Marjana stepped down, he succeeded in taking over and took over the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association.

After Michael came to power, many changes have taken place in the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association. The first thing is to complete the contract renewal with NBC TV. It is bound to promote the process of commercialization of the Golden Globes; afterwards, Michael’s series of policies made the Hollywood Foreign Press Association rejoice. He signed sponsorship agreements with many brands and renewed the contract with Hilton Hotels, intending to award the Golden Globes. After the ceremony, the celebration banquet was held more grandly and grandly-both in scale and influence, surpassed the annual Oscar night of Vanity Fair.

During the non-awarding period, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association was still active and lively, and it became a beautiful scene in Hollywood in 1996. Until the release of "Independence Day".

Leaving aside the factor starring Hugo. The great success of "Independence Day" is welcome to Michael, because he has always hoped that the Golden Globes can accelerate the pace of commercialization, and winning the nomination not only has to be artistically successful, but also must be in the box office. Works that can make a difference, such as "Forrest Gump" in 1994. To put it simply, if the time is delayed a year and Michael is in charge of the association, he will give the "seven deadly sins" a best picture nomination.

"Independence Day" can almost be said to have completely changed the position of computer special effects in the hearts of those stubborn investors in Hollywood, and completely reversed the influence of commercial films in the mainstream market-300 million box office and five The gap of 100 million box office is more than just a difference in numbers.

This is indeed good news for Michael. In the future, he also hopes that more and more such works will appear. It is best to have a film like "Independence Day" that can sweep the global box office and at the same time win film reviews with more detailed scripts. Favorite work, then the Golden Globe Awards will not hesitate to award the best film in the drama category to this work.

However, the hero of "Independence Day" is Hugo, which made Michael sigh.

At this moment last year, the contradiction between the Golden Globes and Hugo was a good thing for Michael; but at this moment this year, it was a reminder.

As early as September, when the "Independence Day" box office historically exceeded 500 million, Michael began to consider this issue. He knew that making up the gap between the Golden Globes and the Hugo was a top priority if Hugo was absent for the fourth consecutive year. The Golden Globe Award is a fatal blow to them and affects the trend of media reputation. This is only second, and most importantly, it has an important impact on Michael's "commercialization process" plan.

More than anyone, Michael is eager for today's unique Hugo to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

So when the 54th Golden Globe Awards announced the nomination list, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave a perfect answer-at least in Michael's eyes.

Hugo won the nomination for best actor in a musical comedy for the second year in a row-the nominated work is "Independence Day", Hugo will be with "Mr. Sweetheart" Tom Cruise, "Fatty Professor" Ai Di Murphy, Nathan Lane (Nathan Lane) of "Fake Phoenix Virtual Phoenix" and Antonio Banderas of "Evita" compete for this award together.

This move of the Golden Globes is undoubtedly a sensation!

When the end of 1996 came, people's eyes were focused on "British Patient", "The. People. Vs. Larry. Flynt", "Secrets & Lies", and "Shining Style". (Shine, "Ice Blood Storm", "Mr. Sweetheart" and other works, discussed the ideological impact and cultural experience brought by these works.

On the contrary, last year Hugo, who dedicated the three masterpieces "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row", this year is a bit quieter, with only one "Independence Day". Of course, just an "Independence Day" is enough to declare Hugo's current dominance, but obviously, Hugo and the major awards ceremony at the end of the year are doomed to miss.

But now, the Golden Globe Award has given Hugo a shocking nomination for best actor in a musical comedy. This is not only an accident, but also a bit confusing for film critics. Of course, this is not the first time this is done at the Golden Globes. Just two years ago, the Golden Globes gave Jamie Lee Curtis in "True Lies" a nomination for best actress in a musical comedy. ——In the end, I won the award smoothly! Nevertheless, the choice of the Golden Globe Awards is still quite astonishing.

It can be said without denying that Hugo did not show any acting skills on "Independence Day". He just performed the basic duties of an actor. Everyone knows that the biggest protagonist of "Independence Day" is computer visual effects. As a hero who saves the earth, Hugo doesn't have much room to play in it.

Of course, if you want to insist, Hugo still has two or three performances in the movie. The most representative part is the exciting speech before the final battle. But this is still not enough to give Hugo an acting nomination.

Faced with such a ridiculous situation the film critics have no way to say that Hugo is not worthy of this nomination-now Hugo is the only actor in North America who can match Tom Hanks in acting. Moreover, the performance in "Independence Day" still showed Hugo's personal charm; but it was a bit soft to say that Yuguo deserves its name.

Roger Ebert’s joke represents the mainstream view, "It is estimated that Hugo himself will not be happy because of this nomination."

Michael did not expect that he extended an olive branch to Hugo, hoping to alleviate the embarrassment and unfamiliarity between the Golden Globe and Hugo, and hope that Hugo can attend the 54th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, and everything will be done by then. They can all be discussed slowly; but it seems a little self-defeating. The film critics didn't buy it at all, and it seemed that Hugo didn't buy it either. But the nomination list has been announced, and Michael can only bite the bullet and catch the ducks on the shelves.

The night before yesterday, the 54th Golden Globe Awards ceremony ended smoothly, and Hugo did not appear as expected. To make matters worse, since the award ceremony ended, the reporter did not intend to let Michael go. The 24-hour uninterrupted phone bombing almost drove Michael crazy.

The scourge left over from last year has begun to erode this year. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
