Chapter 406 -- Chapter 407 Hollywood Walk of Fame(1/3)

In the two days of newspapers, DreamWorks won 15 items on the list of winners of the first Harvey Awards and who will occupy the pages of various newspapers.

On the morning of the 29th, the Hollywood City Government held a year-end reception and invited famous filmmakers to attend. In order to make all Hollywood people live together at the end of this busy year, at this time when all filmmakers are leisurely.

At this cocktail party, no less than 500 filmmakers were invited, and all the filmmakers with a bit of Hollywood were invited.

The cocktail party starts at 10 a.m. and will last until 10 p.m. Such cocktail party is rare.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, I drove to the municipal government with a group of people from DreamWorks. It took me less than ten minutes to get there. When I arrived, there were only a few people in the lobby of the municipal government.

After going upstairs, knocking on the door of Grant's office, I walked in and found that Hays, Pang Mao and Grant were sitting in the room. The three of them seemed to be discussing something, with a thoughtful expression on their faces.

"Andre, why did you come so early? There is still more than an hour left to have the cocktail party to begin." Seeing me in, Hays smiled and pulled me over.

I pointed to my stomach and said, "It's late to wake up in the morning and I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so I thought of finding something to eat here."

Hayes laughed and quickly ordered his men to bring me pastries.

"Andre, your DreamWorks has shown up now and has won the 15th nomination. I think this will become a record that no one can break in the future." Grant looked at me with a smirk.

"If anyone can say that it's their dream factory itself. MGM and Paramount only received seven or eight nominations this time." Pang Mao and Hayes looked at each other and smiled.

I stuffed a piece of pastry into my mouth and chewed it while vaguely: "You guys are all typical people who stand and speak without aches. Now we see the moment of glory. But who have seen our bitter scenes when filming, coming and going in the wind and rain, and still have to deal with various emergencies. Sometimes if you are not careful, it may cause a disaster. After filming the movie, you have to be nervous and ask you and the audience to review it. This is how you can get a nomination. It's easy for us!"

Hahahaha. Hayes and others burst into laughter.

"Andre. The awards ceremony will be tomorrow night. How many awards are you planning to win?" Grant asked in a low voice.

"Of course, the more, the better. I hope to win all the land-based Golden Feather Awards back and let Marskolov and others come in vain, but this is a bit unrealistic." I glanced at Hayes and others, laughed at the three guys, and continued, "I am very satisfied with this person, and I can easily win half of the awards. I am barely satisfied."

"You can barely satisfy half of the award?! Do you know that some people want to win a Golden Feather Trophy back! Some people's biggest wish is to get a title. Even if they don't win the Harvey Award, it doesn't matter! You guy, it's easy to satisfy?!" Hayes pointed at me and shook his head.

I smirked. I took out the last piece of pastry on the plate in three mouthfuls, then clapped my hands and said, "I'm just saying that the final result will be decided by the judges of your jury committee. Is there any result now?"

Hayes looked at Grant and signaled him to say.

Grant is the chairman of the judging committee. He is naturally very familiar with all kinds of things in the committee. He took the conversation and said, "The final consultation is still being done. The final result will be officially released at 10 a.m. tomorrow, and it will be sealed directly after it comes out. Then it will be transported to the venue of the award ceremony."

"How are you preparing for the award ceremony? Don't mess it up then," I reminded Grant.

Grant shook his head and said, "How could it be smashed? We are not an idle meal. The Lincoln Hotel started to arrange it a few days ago. Now all the work is ready. From now until tomorrow night's Harvey Awards Ceremony, everyone will be prohibited from entering."

"Lincoln Hotel?! It's the Lincoln Hotel on First Street?! How could it be held there? Wasn't it originally scheduled to be held by the city government?" After hearing Grant's words, I was stunned.

Grant shrugged and said, "This is a collective decision by the committee, saying that it is such an award ceremony and a grand event for Hollywood filmmakers. It is a bit inappropriate to hold it in a government agency like the city government, so it moved to the Lincoln Hotel."

"Why don't you move to the Imperial Hotel? That place is much more gorgeous than the Lincoln Hotel, and the place is bigger." Gans, who followed me in, muttered.

Hahahaha, all three guys in the room looked at me and laughed.

They all know about Natalia and I.

"Andre, you won't be angry if you didn't put the award ceremony at the Imperial Hotel this time, are you?" Grant looked at me with a smile.

I shook my head: "How could that be? It's very appropriate for the jury to do this."

Although the Empire Hotel is much more luxurious than the Lincoln Hotel, it is not suitable for hosting awards ceremony at all. You should know that the Empire Hotel is a holy place in the minds of all Westerners. When it comes to the Empire Hotel, they first think of words such as wine pools and meat forests, jade bodies, etc. The Harvey Awards are also the highest honor of Hollywood movies and even the world movies. It is the pride of Hollywood movies. If you hold them there, wouldn’t it make people laugh to death?

Besides, Lincoln Hotel, although the place is not as large as the Imperial Hotel and is not as good as the Imperial Hotel, this hotel is a famous aristocratic hotel, which is extremely elegant. The staff inside are all polite and polite. In the west, the hotel is named after Lincoln, so it is very solemn and respectable. In Hollywood, there is really no place that is more suitable for holding award ceremony than this hotel.

A few of us were chatting and chatting, when a staff member suddenly broke into the office.

"Mr. Grant. Something is wrong!" The guy was panting. He saw that he was running all the way.

"What big deal can happen? It depends on your anxiety," Grant said with a smile.

"The Golden Feather Prize trophy was stolen!" This guy made everyone in the office stand up with a word.

"What?! The Golden Feather Award trophy was stolen!? How is it possible?!" Grant almost choked to death by the coffee in his mouth.

The staff member nodded

Yes. In the morning, the judges called us to go to the Golden Feather Prize Ken Hotel, but when we went to pick up the trophy, we found that the trophy was stolen!"

Looking at the staff member who was sweating profusely, I shook my head, laughing and crying.

In history, the Oscars's little golden man trophy was stolen. It was not a matter of time once or twice. After all, it was gold and so famous. If you took one away and sold it, it might be a lot of money. Even if you didn't sell it, it would feel good to put it at home and put it in your bedroom. But what I didn't expect was that such a thing could happen in the first Harvey Awards. Those trophys were carefully made, and each took a long time. Now that it was stolen, if you can't find it back, even if you have to do it again, it would be too late.

The Harvey Awards ceremony will begin tomorrow night, and we are looking forward to it. The whole United States and the world are staring at it. You can't let the winners get off the stage empty-handed. Besides, the design drawings of the Golden Feather Award trophy were announced a long time ago, and it is impossible to find a replacement.

"Did you steal all, or just steal some?" Hayes frowned.

The staff member calmed down and replied: "There are 21 trophys in total, and it was stolen 7.

"7?! That's not a small number! The award ceremony is about to begin tomorrow! Why did this happen??" Grant was about to jump up.

Pang Mao comforted, "Grant, don't worry, it's time to do so, it's useless to worry. Who made you guys accidentally? Let's do this, I'll call the Los Angeles Police Department immediately and ask them to send all the police forces to search the trophy for all their efforts."

After saying that, Pang Mao picked up the phone.



I pulled Pang Mao and said, "Don't let the police station make this matter public, otherwise it will definitely cause an uproar and let the police station inquire in secret."

Pang Mao nodded.

After the explanation, Pang Mao put down the phone and patted Grant's shoulder and said, "Grant, they will come soon and check the people in the city government one by one, so they should be able to catch them back."

"But if we can't catch up, what should we do?! It would be too embarrassing if we can't get the trophy at the awards ceremony." Grant sat on the sofa in awe and slapped his thigh in pain.

Hayes and Pang Mao looked at me and I looked at you, but there was nothing we could do. Finally, they looked at me together.

I smiled and said, "It's not difficult to solve this."

"Then tell me what to do now?" Grant pulled my arm and opened his eyes wide.

I thought for a while and said, "I think I can prepare both ways. First, let your subordinates quickly build the 7 Golden Feather Trophy. It cannot be completed on time with the original materials, so you ask them to make it with wood now."

"Wood!? Can wood work?! As soon as I touched it, I knew it was fake!" Grant's head immediately shook into a rattle.

"No, it's not possible. This will be discovered all at once. If there is such a noise at the award ceremony, it will be embarrassing." Hayes also felt that this method was inappropriate.

I smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. As long as the person who won the trophy doesn't say it, it's all done."

"But who would be foolish to find out that the trophy in someone else's hand is gold but wood without raising objections?!" Grant said loudly.

I didn't speak, and looked at him meaningfully. Seeing my expression, Grant was slightly stunned and then laughed.

"What do you mean, is it that your DreamWorks people come to receive these trophys?!" Hayes finally understood what I mean.

I nodded and said, "Yes, our DreamWorks won 15 just by nominating. The seven Golden Feather Trophys should still be able to be won away. If we don't say it, naturally others won't know."

"This is a good idea." Grant breathed a sigh of relief.

"Andre, it seems that you have a lot of confidence, but what if you DreamWorks can't get seven Golden Feather Trophys. What should we do?" Hayes made the worst plan.

I spread my hands and said, "Then I have nothing to do. You can only discuss it privately with the winner."

Grant turned to Hayes and said, "I think this is the only effective way, so I will do it as Andre said."

I said to Grant: "Grant, we have agreed. We can bring these seven wooden trophys in DreamWorks, but you have to make seven more redeems afterwards, otherwise I don't want to, that's seven gold trophys!"

Before I finished speaking, Grant and Hayes pointed at me and shook their heads: "This guy is too snobbish!"

"Andre, didn't you just say you were preparing for both hands? What is the other one?" asked Pang Mao, who had been silent.

I coaxed my nose and said, "This second step is to find a way to drive away the Hollywood filmmakers' gaze in less than this day. Think about it, now everyone is staring at the Harvey Awards. For those police officers who have to hide their identities to investigate this matter, this is a headache for the market. They conduct investigations in full view of the public, and they cannot let others guess and have to track down the trophies with all their might. It is extremely unfavorable to work. If we shift the Hollywood's gaze from the Harvey Awards during this day, it will greatly bring convenience to the police station investigators and increase their chances of success."

"I agree with what Andre said. If these people are not shifted from the Harvey Awards, the police station will be in great difficulty to investigate." Hayes highly appreciated my approach.

Grant's face was almost distorted. He smiled bitterly at me and said, "Transfer these people's eyes from the Harvey Awards?! It's light, but it's not easy to do it! Everyone has been waiting for this award ceremony for a year. Finally, it's going to be held tomorrow. Who wouldn't stare at it? What can be more attractive to them than this!"

Pang Mao and Hayes were silent after hearing Grant's words. Grant was talking about the facts. Now the Harvey Awards Ceremony has become the top priority for the American people during this period. It is definitely not that easy to temporarily shift their attention away.

"Also, let's talk about the hundreds of people at the cocktail party today. They have to stay in the city government until night. How can you turn the gaze of these people away?" Grant became more and more disgusted as he spoke.

"This is really a bit tricky." I stood up and paced back and forth in the office. Hayes, Grant and others put their hopes on me, and they didn't dare to let go, for fear of disruption.

Ideas.

To successfully divert the attention of the people of the United States, the first thing to do is to divert the attention of Hollywood people. As long as there is something that can make them forget the Harvey Award for the time being, then it will definitely be possible for the people of the United States to forget the Harvey Award for the time being.

But what can I do?!

My head is about to explode and I have no clue.

"Grant, what do you think Hollywood filmmakers care about the most?" I asked Grant.

Without thinking, Grant touched his upper lip and replied, "Of course it's a movie."

"You bastard, the answer is really tricky! I know it's a movie too! More detailed!" I was almost angry with this guy.

Grant squeezed his eyes, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "If you summarize it, one is profit and the other is fame. What Hollywood filmmakers are most concerned about is whether their own movies can make money, and the other is fame."

"Yeah. Not bad." I nodded.

He is worthy of being the mayor of Hollywood, and he immediately grasped the root of the problem. What Hollywood filmmakers are most concerned about are the two things Grant said.

Leigh, every Hollywood filmmaker is extremely interested in whether movies can make money, but I can't ask Grant and Hayes to hire a plane with money to go to downtown Los Angeles to spend a day so they can call all these filmmakers over to pick them up.

Excluding this profit, the rest is fame.

Hollywood filmmakers attach importance to money, otherwise they would not choose the scripts of the movie before filming each movie, conduct investigations, and prevent human arguments and modifications. Finally, they would figure out the audience's intentions to shoot, and then stare at the box office in their hearts. Whether movies can make money is the first question that every filmmaker thinks about, otherwise no one would ask you to make a movie, and you would not even think about hang out in this place.

But overall, those who pay special attention to money are the ones who believe that money is the first. After all, they are only those operators of film companies. The bosses of film companies, others, directors, screenwriters, actors, etc. are more concerned about reputation. Otherwise, there would not be people like Chaplin who pursue reputation and pursue almost perverts.
