Chapter 1662

"Zizizi".

"I know, I know, Langley himself very much hopes to attend, but now all the itineraries have to be postponed temporarily. Many members of Christopher's works are journalists, editors or film critics before joining the association, but after joining the association, they all become photographers," because photographers make more money. " However, most of the members are pensioners who do not depend on the news for their meals. As for the requirements of four articles each year, they only occasionally write for small overseas publishers who are not well-known.

Now the members of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association are very complicated, including the education industry, the real estate industry, the automobile industry and so on.

So, how does the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association work? This is a very large, very complicated and complicated system. To sum it up in a relatively simple and straightforward way is: college public relations in the award season.

The fixed number of members of the association is about 90, who join the association by recommendation and have one vote veto power, which makes the position of all members relatively stable and almost equal to life-long system; However, these 90 members have a huge network of contacts. Their careers are similar to lobbyists in Washington. They travel among major associations, companies, parties and gatherings, making full use of the network of interests in the award season to mediate among them.

Why can Golden Globes be called "the wind vane of Oscars"? That's because these 90 members are familiar with the inside information of the members of the Hollywood academy, and they are often able to make judgments and choices in advance according to the wind direction.

In addition, why is the Golden Globe always infamous, and the name of "entertainment to death" also follows? That's because during the 1970s and 1980s, members were willing to accept material benefits to influence the trend of awards - for example, holding a party in Las Vegas, inviting some members to attend, and then winning a golden globe.

However, the atmosphere has now disappeared, and the simple and rough black box operation is no longer effective; However, the members of the association are still able to swim freely in the major parties of the award season, which affects the direction of the Oscars.

As for the history of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association and the Golden Globe Awards, even if it costs a whole book, it can not be finished. However, it is certain that the far-reaching influence and the ability to distribute interests in the award season are the important weights for the survival of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association. Naturally, the internal power struggle will become more intense.

Nevertheless, the professional critics of "Hollywood Reporter" once expressed such a view: "although the judges of the Golden Globe awards are basically stupid, they have better taste than the self righteous and superior guys of the Oscar."

Not to mention what the Hollywood power distribution behind such a view means, but from the side, we can see that the style of "entertainment first" of Golden Globe Awards has never changed. As for the grudge between the Golden Globes and the Oscars, that's another story.

"This year, too. Do you know why Theo called me? " Andy relaxed and chatted with lanli.

Langley didn't speak.

Andy himself was dumbfounded and laughed. "I know, I know, you're not interested, but can't you cooperate? Theo has made a special call and invited you to attend this year's Golden Globe Award. "

That's Theo Kimma's strategy.

As the world's top and most popular actor, Langley has been absent from the Golden Globe Award for two consecutive years; What's more, there hasn't been a golden globe trophy in Langley's award book so far, which sounds like a bit of a myth - that the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association itself is embarrassed, because Langley seems to have never cared about it.

If Theo can invite Langley back to the Golden Globes stage, which is the only time when Langley appeared in public for the first year, then Theo will have more confidence in the re-election in June next year.

But this year's timing is delicate.

Paul just had an accident and escaped from death“ "Star Trek" shooting is also in full swing. From all aspects, it seems that lanli is not in the mood to attend the Golden Globe Award.

As a result, Theo began to lay the groundwork for the award ceremony through Andy.

"My presence is not a panacea to save ratings. I'm not Woody Allen. No audience will watch the Golden Globes just because I'm on camera for a few seconds." However, lanli still keeps a clear mind. The problems of audience rating and topic are mainly inevitable after the birth of network streaming media. The whole TV field is facing challenges. Naturally, it is not a problem that lanli can solve.

Andy chuckled. "He doesn't need you to solve problems. He just needs a little topic effect to show his great achievements."

Blue Li gently jaw head, "it seems that I am also a trophy (Trophy) now."

"Trophy wife", which can be translated as "trophy wife", but derived from the past, means "vase wife"; There's also the meaning of the trophy itself. The meaning of double ridicule can't be more obvious when Lan Li uses such a metaphor here.

"Now Theo is worried, you are the same as the year before last, attend Sundance, but the absence of the Golden Globe Award, this is really unacceptable for them Andy added.

"Ha." Lenley chuckled. "Do you tell him that I haven't decided whether to attend Sundance or not?"

"Of course, I have said so. But it's rumored in the industry that the Cohen brothers have sent out an invitation, and you are certainly willing to give them face. " Andy said bluntly.

From "anticancer me" to "detachment", from Jack Gyllenhaal to Natalie Portman, from Warner Bros to Universal Pictures, and then to this time Paul Walker, it's no secret that Langley's way of dealing with friendship has long been. Everyone can feel that Langley is a person who attaches great importance to friendship.

Of course, it's not easy to be a good friend of Lan Li. The cold and arrogant aura of hereditary aristocracy is enough to make countless people shy away; What's more, how many of those who approach lanli with purpose can succeed? This also makes the friendship of lanli more precious.

Langley shrugged. "If I refuse, I'm sure Joel and Ethan can understand."

"But the question is, will you refuse?" Andy asked again.
