Chapter 666 Golden Raspberry Award -- Chapter 667 Rocktec TV Group! (1)(1/3)
If a new award is established, wouldn’t it mean that there will be two awards in Hollywood?
However, in history, Hollywood is not just the Oscars. In 1943, under the organization of the Hollywood and the Foreign Press Association, the Golden Globe Awards of the American Film Awards. This movie award has been established. Since its establishment, it has always been regarded as a vane of the Oscars. But this award has happened decades later, which has stumped Grant and Hayes to make trouble?
Looking at the two proud people in front of me, I was stunned.
"Andre. Do you think it is necessary to set up another award?" Grant stared at me.
"I don't think this is important. If you want to set it up, set it up, and multiple awards are also lively, but if it overlaps with the Harvey Award, it's just a preview." I said in a deep voice.
In my consciousness, now setting up an award similar to the Harvey Awards has not had a big impact on the development of Hollywood. It was just that there were a few more trophies that allowed more filmmakers to receive honors.
This approach doesn't mean much.
"Overall with the Harvey Award?!" Grant and Hayes laughed at the same time when they heard my words.
"What's wrong?" I looked at the two of them and laughed in a flash. I felt that things were not that simple.
Grant rubbed his stomach and said, "Andre, you are not that smart either. How could we set up an award similar to the Harvey Award? That's just a repetition. It doesn't make much sense."
I sat up straight and said, "What do you mean is to set up an award that is completely different from the Harvey Awards?"
Interesting, very interesting!
Hayes nodded and said, "Of course, and as soon as this award is released, it will definitely shock Hollywood and the entire world of film."
Hayes was full of confidence and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Don't keep it a secret, let me tell you carefully what kind of award this is." I asked.
Grant pulled a chair and sat opposite me, "Andre, what is the purpose of setting up the Harvey Prize?"
"Of course, in order to reward those excellent Hollywood filmmakers and excellent films, we will increase the enthusiasm of major film companies."
Damn, this award is the place I proposed to establish, and I know more about its purpose than anyone else.
Hayes nodded and said, "Since the establishment of the Harvey Award, this goal has been achieved and it is very outstanding. However, Grant and I discovered a problem, that is, although the Harvey Award has mobilized the enthusiasm of major film companies to shoot good movies, there are too many bad movies in Hollywood every year. These bad movies have no artistic value, but have a negative impact on the audience and society. Some excellent filmmakers sometimes send some movies that are not commensurate with their own artistic level. What's more annoying is that many people are
After a movie like this, I was like a ok person, and I put it on the audience's reaction
Hayes dialect made me frown.
"Hays. You're not wrong at all, but these are the freedoms of film companies. They make movies that they want to make. They don't steal or rob, they take their own profits and losses, and they don't force audiences to enter the cinema, nor do they violate the law. Don't say that you have no right to interfere. Even the federal government does not have this power."
Looking at Hayes with a serious look on his face, I shook my head helplessly.
These two guys must be crazy. Hollywood is a place where people are confused, so you can't let others make bad movies.
Grant and Hayes seemed to have expected that I would have such a thought, and smiled and said, "Andre. Although we don't have the power to force them to not make bad movies, can we use another kind of power?"
"What power? Public opinion?" I laughed.
"Yes! It's the power of public opinion that President Washington once said!" Grant was excited. Then he picked up a stack of manuscripts and stuffed it into my hands, saying, "We plan to set up an award that is exactly the opposite of the Harvey Award. Isn't the Harvey Award the best movies and filmmakers to select the worst movies and filmmakers in Hollywood every year. With this award, I think major film companies have invisibly had a slight concern when shooting locations. After all, if you win such an award, you will never be able to wipe it off. In this way, you can also promote the development of Hollywood movies from the opposite side!"
"This note was discussed by Grant and I. Some systems have been formulated, but there are still some things that have not been completed, such as the name of the award place." Hayes also laughed.
I have completely understood what they mean.
As I opened the stack of manuscripts handed to me by Grant, a smile gradually appeared on my face.
The worst movie, the worst male lead, the worst female lead, the worst supporting actor, the hardest supporting actress, the worst screenwriter... Looking at these award settings, I had to ring another famous award in Hollywood in later generations.
"Isn't this the Golden Plum Award?" I laughed and said something inadvertently.
The Golden Plum Award was founded by John Wilson in 1980 and announced the list the day before the Oscars were awarded. At first, it was just a purely entertainment award, but later it gradually attracted people's attention and love, with a huge jury. It can be said that the existence of this award has activated the film atmosphere of Hollywood and played a significant role in the development of Hollywood.
The award that Grant and Hayes wanted to set up is exactly the same as the Golden Plum Award. The only difference is that once it is passed, it is officially established, which is as important as the Harvey Award. Not only will there be a grand award ceremony, but all the "winning actors" must be present. Imagine that people from major Hollywood film companies gathered together, wearing suits and tie, and the task was to receive the award that made people laugh out loud under the simultaneous broadcast across the United States. How fun it would be.
"Andre, what did you say just now?" Grant and Hays grabbed me at the same time.
"I didn't say anything?" I shook my head.
"What prize did you just say?" Grant's eyes widened.
"Golden Plum Award." I repeated it.
"Golden and Hayes's prize?!" Grant and Hayes looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Golden and Sour Plum Award, this name is good, this name is good! Just use this name!" Hayes exclaimed repeatedly.
"It's worthy of Andre Corleon. Hayes and I were so impressed that we didn't come up with a suitable name. If you say this casually, it's so classic!" Grant pulled me and said, "Come on, since you think of all the names, then it's more difficult to design the trophy for us!"
Looking at the serious eyes of Grant and Hayes, I shook my head helplessly.
So, with the combined efforts of the three of us, the Golden Plum Award trophy was designed.
This golden-sour plum trophy is the same as the golden-sour plum trophy in later generations, but there are also quite a few changes.
The base of the trophy floor is a cylinder surrounded by film, with a blank space on the front. The name of the award will be written there, such as "The Worst Movie Award". On the base, the main body of the trophy is a rotten golden strawberry.
Grant and Hayes were very satisfied with the design of this trophy.
"If anyone is lucky enough to win such a trophy, that's the best gift." Looking at the drawings, Grant smiled uncontrollably.
The three of us tinkered in the office for a long time until Secretary Grant told us that the Hollywood people were basically here in the hall. Then the three of us hurried out.
This Hollywood Filmmakers Conference was much smaller in size and number of people in the past.
In addition to filmmakers from major Hollywood film companies participating, other places are representatives of some social organizations.
These people sat in the hall and didn't understand that the Hollywood Filmmakers' Conference would suddenly be held. So there was a lot of discussion.
"Andre. What are they going to do?" Marskolov grabbed me and whispered to Grant and Hass.
I held back my smile and said, "You will know after a while."
After a while, the meeting officially began.
Grant walked onto the stage and told him about the establishment of the Golden Plum Awards, and the hall was in chaos.
"Nonsense! Isn't this nonsense??" Sam Warner, a Warner Bros. Film Company, stood up suddenly. The eyes of the hall were focused on him.
"Grant, this is simply nonsense! We are all very welcome to establish the Harvey Award. Because this award can promote the development of Hollywood and make us more motivated. And this bullshit Golden Plum Award is simply something that children play with! What is the worst movie? This selection is useless except for wasting taxpayers' money! You people should think carefully about how to better serve Hollywood, and why they think about such a mess all day long!"
Ha ha ha ha!
Sam Warner's words made the hall burst into laughter.
"I think Sam said it." Carrey Rockefeller, the boss of Leidianhua Film Company, also stood up: It's simply nonsense! How can we set up awards like this! We Leidianhua disagree!"
"disagree!"
"disagree!"
...
Some people in the crowd began to shout.
"Old Ma, don't you plan to say a few words?" I poked Marskolov.
At this time, he had to stand up and say a few words, otherwise no one would have sang against Carey Rockefeller and Sam Warner.
Marskolov immediately understood what I meant and stood up suddenly.
"I agree! Our MGM Film Company has a high voice!" Marskolov had a loud voice. He yelled like this and immediately covered all the opposition in the hall...!!!!!!
People's eyes were all focused on Marskolov's land.
MGM Film Company is a Hollywood super giant. When Hollywood stomps, it shakes three times. Marskolov's opinion is very important no matter what time it is.
Marskolov looked at Carey Rockefeller and Sam Warner, and then shouted: "I think this award is set very well! There are good things in movies, and there are bad things. Since you can set a Harvey Award, why not set a golden plum! If you make a bad movie, you have to get such a trophy! Stump Warner and Lei Dinghua have already predicted that they will win the golden plum award?"
Ha ha ha ha.
There was another burst of laughter in the hall.
Amid the laughter, Sam Warner and Carrey Rockefeller's faces were as red as a monkey's butt.
Marskolov's last words directly poked their wounds.
The big reason why Sam Warner and Carrey Rockefeller came out to object was probably because they were worried that such awards would be held.
"We Paramount also agreed to set up this award! When there is honor, everyone will be robbed and snatched away. If you put on such an award, you will hide far away. This is not the style of our Hollywood people!" Adolf Chuck also stood up.
“Global Corporation agrees!”
"20th Century Film Company agrees!"
“Fox Company objected!”
“Columbia Company objected!”
"Bivograf agrees!"
“Crescent Moon Film Company agrees!”
...
The bosses of major film companies expressed their attitudes one after another, and in the end everyone's eyes were all on me.
"Let's listen to Mr. Corleon's opinion!"
I don't know who shouted like this.
"Yes! Let's listen to Mr. Corleon!"
To be continued...
