Hollywood New Century

Chapter 32: Oscar night

The opening of the 78th Academy Awards was uninteresting, and host Jon Stewart wasn't hilarious at all.

The "Juno" crew sat together this time, after all, it was not a round table banquet like the Golden Globes.

Simon sat next to Nicole and started giving out technical awards, which was boring.

"By the way, you seem to be going to be the best supporting actor award guest? When will you go backstage to prepare," Simon asked in a low voice.

"Come on, after three awards, it is estimated that George Clooney of "Syriana" is likely to win the Best Supporting Actor Award!" Nicole also responded in a low voice.

"It's this guy again, he won the Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes last time, and now he's going to win the Oscar again," Simon frowned when he heard George Clooney's name, unhappy.

"What's the matter, he can act well, and he is famous now, why do you say that?" Nicole turned her head, George Clooney is already in his forties, twice his age, what disputes will you have with him?

Nicole Kidman heard the unkindness of Simon's tone.

"I don't like the guy who talks about politics all day, shouting about Darfur every day, and boycotting the Olympic Games in the next year, not only him, but also Richard Gere, I will never cooperate with these two guys, especially It's Richard Gere, I hate him!" Simon's anger also rose, George Clooney just came to power and talked about political issues, no matter what, he resisted the other side he loved.

"Simon, you..." Nicole Kidman saw Simon Parker speak so seriously for the first time.

"Simon, discussing political issues is actually all of you American filmmakers. The Oscar committee also hates discussing politics at awards ceremonies. It's just, freedom of speech!" Nicole doesn't care why Simon is so angry next year, it has nothing to do with you what!

"Forget it, don't talk about it!" Simon waved his hand, and now he is still weak, but soon, he is not an existence that these actors can shake.

After a while, Nicole Kidman took the stage to award the Best Supporting Actor award, and sure enough, the winner was George Clooney, who won the award for "Cyrina".

Simon, sitting below, stared at George Clooney on the podium. Before he was just the presenter, now the winner has time to give his acceptance speech.

The old tune is repeated, the Sudan issue, international human rights, and the Darfur region issue are thus alluded to as the venue for the next year's Olympic Games.

Simon Parker was instantly disgusted with him, and if possible, Simon would definitely block him from Hollywood as soon as possible.

When Nicole Kidman returned to her seat, she saw a calm face of Simon. I really couldn't understand why Simon Parker hated George Clooney and Richard Gere, just because they were a boycott year after year. The Olympics, another believer in XC Buddhism?

Nicole Kidman sighed inwardly, Richard Gere doesn't matter, he's just a third-rate actor now.

However, George Clooney is now a first-class actor in Hollywood, with high popularity and many friends in the circle. If Simon Pike conflicts with him, he will not be able to get cheap now!

Simon Pike needed time to run his own network and more work to prove his worth. Just entering Hollywood, only one successful "Juno" is not enough.

Simon, I hope he can restrain himself, there is no need to conflict with an old Hollywood actor for these indifferent opinions.

When Nicole was thinking about it, Uma Thurman, the guest on the podium, announced in front of the camera: "The winner of the 78th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is Simon Parker, the screenwriter of "Juno"!"

Simon Parker stood up gracefully and accepted the congratulations from the crew. Nicole Kidman hugged Simon Parker tightly, but whispered in his ear: "Simon, don't be willful!"

Simon Pike said nothing, and walked towards the podium with a smile on his face. He is just George Clooney, just an actor, and he is still afraid of him. As long as this year, no one can stop his rise.

After taking the trophy from Uma Thurman, Simon stood in front of the microphone, looked at the crowd below, and said, "Thank you to the Oscar jury, thank you to all the crew, thank you all!"

After a simple sentence, Simon suddenly said again: "Less than 30% of all the people sitting here have gone to college, and only 5% have successfully graduated. Why don't you thank your parents, the judges, after receiving the award? The crew, to talk about your ridiculous political views?"

"If there is really no one to thank, you can thank God, thank yourself, instead of boycotting the Olympic Games that people all over the world are looking forward to;"

"People who go on vacation in private jets all day and say they're environmentalists; talk about improving the status of women in Hollywood, but have never been in any female-focused movies;"

"As an actor, the most important thing to do is to make a good movie, not to show that childish opinion with a high salary!"

The audience was quiet for a while, and then there were applause and boos, and Simon Pike's words were already directed at George Clooney, basically name-calling.

Simon walked off the podium in surprise. The most excited was the reporter, and there was another topic.

Oscar shot at George Clooney on the spot, Nicole Kidman was helpless, I knew this guy had a bad temper, or he would have dared to quarrel with the audition assistant when he was not a good actor before. Yes, and scolded people on the spot.

"Simon, you are too impulsive. This is Hollywood, not a school. It is common for Hollywood to talk about political topics. Freedom of speech, you can indeed criticize, but you can't be so clear about George Clooney. Your current form is very good. Why fight with George Clooney," Nicole Kidman said with a rare sternness, and Simon Pike was completely vexatious.

"George Clooney's network is very extensive, you are now giving people the feeling of being a child, and you need PR!"

Simon Pike didn't know what he was thinking. He just smiled and didn't say anything. He was really impulsive, but it was worth it!

Just looking at George Clooney's livid face and wide-open mouth, my heart was still dark for a while.

Accused by a 24-year-old young man of not understanding politics, being called a pseudo-environmentalist, and being involved in feminism.

After the awards ceremony, Simon was completely in the state of watching a play, and the best actress was won by Reese Witherspoon in "Walking With the Song";

Philip Hoffman won the Best Actor Award for "Capote";

Ang Lee won the Best Director Speech for "Brokeback Mountain";

"Crash" won the final Oscar for best picture;

As soon as the awards ceremony was over, Simon hurriedly left the Kodak Theater and took Nicole Kidman's car to her villa in Beverly Hills.

Pat Kingsley, Sonia Roman and Nicole Kidman were all sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Simon Pike sat across from them, and of course everyone already knew what he said at the Oscars.

"Simon, how can you blame George Clooney for no reason? Even if you like to watch the Olympics, the 2008 Beijing Olympics has nothing to do with you, and it's impossible to cancel it because of George Clooney. Right?" Sonia Roman was also a little worried, not long after the company was established, Simon's connections were still very shallow, and it was not a good thing to offend George Clooney directly.

"Tomorrow's newspapers will definitely report on a large scale. George Clooney has a good network and he is also an important client of CAA. We can't be tough on PR, but CAA won't go too far. After all, Simon is young and twenty-nine. Century Fox is not going to allow the producers who will have two films to go into trouble," analyzed Pat Kingsley.

"Help News Corp?" Nicole Kidman, as an Australian, certainly knows the power of News Corp.

"They don't care too much. This time Simon's Oscar incident can be said to be exactly what they mean. "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Devil Wears Prada" have some propaganda points," Pat Kingsley continued to analyze ,

"I believe that tomorrow there will be many reporters interviewing the parties and related artists. Simon's connections are shallow, but Simon mentioned women's rights, so female artists should not accuse Simon. What I worry about is those male artists. George Clooney has a good relationship. There are quite a few top male artists!"

"So, even if some female artists want to help Simon, they won't show it. After all, the status of male actors is too high now," Sonia Roman was also a little helpless.

"Well, the direction of public relations is Simon's age and his support for women's rights. After all, the three films he made are mainly women, which is a good demonstration of this aspect. Simon is only 24 years old this year, and he has only graduated from college for a year. This Many Americans are still in school at their age, and mistakes are forgivable!" That's how Pat Kingsley decided on PR.

"Simon, what do you think?" Nicole asked the client.

"Oh, okay, Pat decides what to do, Sonia remembers to provide financial support," Simon remembered the media giant after hearing News Corp. It's okay to let them see their worth. !

"Little Miss Sunshine will be released the day after tomorrow. I don't think you need to worry about everything. George Clooney has many friends. It's better not to mess with me," Simon said, standing up, his eyes flashing fiercely. I said in my heart:

"If you offend me, I will definitely let them know what will be the result of offending me!"

"Okay, let's go to the Vanity Fair dinner with us, get to know some more people, or have a relationship, I'll go change clothes first!" Nicole Kidman said and went back to the room first.
