Chapter 183 Surrounded by mature women, what is an American sweetheart?
The so-called Emmy Awards, which is the transliteration of the word "Immy", refers to the early image normal-analysis tube camera.
It is a ceremony dedicated to awarding TV series, which can be simply understood as the Oscars in the American TV industry.
It is known as the four major awards in the American entertainment industry along with the Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards.
This Tony Award is a drama award, and Anthony Mack, the leading actor of Get Out, is the winner of the Tony Award.
So when someone asked his father to perform, Eric agreed without hesitation when he heard that it was a Tony Award winner.
In terms of fame alone, the Emmy Awards are definitely not as big as the Oscars and Grammys overseas. Many people have not even heard of them. At most, they know the Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globe Awards.
But the importance of the Emmy Awards in the United States is no less than that of the Oscars, and at the same time, its inclusiveness far exceeds that of the Oscars.
Because the Emmy Awards are not held once a year, but many times, which are generally divided into the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards.
The Daytime Emmy Awards cover sports programs, news and documentaries, technology and engineering, youth and students, and other fields, and each field will be held.
The Primetime Emmy Awards refer specifically to the one Eric is going to attend now, and the time is fixed on a Sunday in September every year.
The so-called prime time refers to the programs broadcast between 8 pm and 12 am.
Generally speaking, it is either a TV series or a reality show. Major TV stations rarely broadcast other programs in this time period, which is a waste of resources.
In addition to the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, there is actually a branch of the Emmy Awards, called the International Emmy Awards.
As the name suggests, in addition to domestic dramas in the United States, other countries in the world, as long as they join the American International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, become members, and pay annual membership fees, are eligible to select their own dramas to participate.
So how much gold is this International Emmy Award?
Is it as high as three or four floors?
Is it a big bonus for the actors themselves?
There is a fart! A big fart!
As long as it is a little useful, it is not useless at all!
As long as you sign up, you will be shortlisted. Whoever pays more will win. This is the general rule of the award.
It is equivalent to going to the United States and buying a diploma. This is almost the same.
Eric remembered that when "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was shortlisted for the International Emmy Awards, many viewers were very excited and thought it was amazing. The Americans still know what they are doing.
The unscrupulous media also confused people and simplified the International Emmy Awards to the Emmy Awards. The problem is that you are not an American drama, so why are you competing for the Emmy Awards?
These reports are just to deceive the newbies who know nothing. Many industry insiders and knowledgeable audiences watch them as fun.
The so-called International Emmy Awards should be renamed the Social and Humanity Awards. The value is not even as good as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards more than a decade later. It is just a joke.
The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles at this time.
As a theater with a long history, it has hosted various award ceremonies.
Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Screen Actors Guild Awards, etc., almost all the Hollywood stars who can be invited here to attend the award ceremony today are well-known.
Not only small screen stars, but also many big screen stars will be invited to attend.
At this time, the outside of the Temple Theatre was already crowded with people, and the red carpet was laid for hundreds of meters. Reporters kept pressing shutters, and fans surrounded and screamed on both sides.
Peter parked the car, and Eric opened the door and walked down.
As usual, he came alone, not with the Walking Dead crew.
Walking along the red carpet, he knew that the shouts of these fans were not for him, after all, he was still a behind-the-scenes staff.
So he didn't linger, just wanted to quickly enter the theater, find his seat, and then be a quiet handsome man.
Next to him, is the crew of the hit drama "Six Feet Under", which is also the current pillar of HBO.
"Six Feet Under", "The Sopranos" and "The Walking Dead" constitute the three pillars of HBO.
But tonight, this crew will be a competitor.
Eric didn't pay attention to them after taking a look. They were all small screen actors and never made it to the big screen in their lives.
After passing the crews of "Will & Grace", "The West Wing" and "Everybody Loves Raymond", four mature women appeared in front of Eric.
The four main actors from "Sex and the City" or "Sex and the City" are Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristen Davis and Kim Cattrall.
"Hi! Eric, I see you."
Kristen Davis' eyes lit up when she saw Eric passing by, and she hurried over to say hello with a smile, very familiar.
When casting for the heroine of "House of Cards" a few months ago, Kristen Davis participated in the audition, but only received an apology, but she was also familiar with her face.
Sarah Jessica Parker was in the same situation. She noticed the situation and walked over to say hello.
As for the other two, they did not participate in the audition and had no intersection with Eric, but they naturally knew Eric's identity.
Being stopped by two mature women, Eric was embarrassed to ignore them in the public eye, so he could only respond with a fake smile.
"Eric, you look so handsome and charming today. This suit is perfect for your body." Sarah Jessica Parker praised.
"No, he is always handsome and charming. Every time I see him, I want to swallow him up." Kristen Davis added.
The atmosphere in Hollywood has always been open, whether it's dressing up or talking and joking.
Eric responded casually: "Ladies, you are also very charming. Fortunately, we are not competitors tonight, otherwise I can't help but admit defeat."
"Ha ha ha ha"
The two women immediately giggled.
Kristin Davis came closer, licked the corner of her mouth and whispered: "We can become competitors tonight, if you want."
Eric glanced at her: "Damn, she is indeed a slut. She actually seduced me in public. It seems she really wants to make progress."
Click click click
The camera shutter kept clicking, and the reporters motioned for Kristen to get closer. She simply took Eric's arm.
"Um?"
Eric could clearly feel his arm hitting something soft.
Seeing Kristen Davis climbing up, Sarah Jessica Parker was not to be outdone and took the initiative to walk to the right and take Eric's other arm.
Hit something soft again.
After the reporters took a few photos, they simply called Cynthia Nickerson and Kim Cattrall to come with them.
Then Eric was surrounded by four mature women, and his breath smelled of ripe apples.
It's the kind of apple whose skin may have turned a little black and whose flesh is relatively soft and will rot if you poke it.
The flash flashed wildly, and the reporters asked for more pictures from different angles.
Eric really wanted to roll his eyes and leave, but he had to cooperate in order to maintain his image.
"Hey! Eric, you look happy."
At this time, someone next to him greeted him again. Eric turned his head and looked over and found that it was Brad Pitt.
He immediately squeezed out of the crowd of women: "Sorry ladies, I wish you good luck tonight."
Kristin Davis pouted slightly and winked at him.
He walked over and said hello to Pete. The two had met many times at premieres and various parties.
Brad Pitt is currently one of the top male stars in Hollywood. He is qualified to stand with him and be regarded as a friend with whom he can have a drink and chat for a few words.
When Facebook was first launched, it was very active in helping to promote and promote it.
After chatting for a while, Eric asked curiously: "These reporters seem to be saying that you are also a finalist?"
Brad Pitt acted like you looked down on me: "Eric, I'm a finalist for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series."
As he spoke, he leaned into Eric's ear and told the truth: "I didn't want to participate. It was mainly to accompany Aniston."
After hearing what he said, Eric suddenly remembered that Brad Pitt had guest-starred in an episode of "Friends". That was it.
While talking, Pete pulled Eric to the set of Friends.
"Eric, let me introduce you to my wife Jennifer Aniston. This is"
"NO, NO, NO"
"No need for introduction, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc."
"I love 'Friends' and every character in it. You guys are truly the best and most lovable on-screen partners."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Being appreciated, all six of them burst into exaggerated laughter.
Although it was the first time they met, Eric promised that he was a big fan of "Friends" even before time travel. It was his favorite American TV series.
If the rights weren't in NBC's hands, he would really want to buy it.
"Come on, let's take some group photos. It's not often that we can gather the six of you offline."
After taking the photo, Eric looked at the reporter from the Los Angeles Times: "After the photo is developed, please send it to me. You know the address."
Brad Pitt was a little surprised: "Eric, it seems you didn't lie."
"Of course, I said, absolute super fan."
Arriving at the theater, Eric, Pitt, and Aniston walked and chatted.
Jennifer Aniston winked, and her husband Pitt asked casually: "Eric, Jennifer has accumulated enough popularity on the small screen."
"Actually, she has always wanted to develop into movies. Is there any suitable project at MGM for her recently?"
Looking at this blonde girl who is known as the last "America's Sweetheart", Eric couldn't help but sigh that she does have a charm that belongs exclusively to Rachel Green.
What is America's Sweetheart? This title is not something that can be obtained by just any female star. It requires far more than just beauty.
The first is that sweethearts must be sweet, strong women, and those with too big breasts and too long legs are not acceptable. For example, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Janssen are definitely the type to make a man’s crotch feel hot first and then feel cold. Can't get involved.
The second is that the personality is a bit confused, but sunny and positive. If you are not a green tea bitch, you will not be able to be selected if you are a coquettish person like Elizabeth Taylor or Emma Roberts.
The third character should be kind and kind-hearted. Generally, even if he is bullied, he will not say bad words and act like a little crybaby. Anne Hathaway and Chloë Sevigny are not suitable.
Fourth, you need to have a girl-next-door feel, show intimacy, and not be pretentious. At the same time, you should not give people a sense of condescension and sanctity that cannot be profaned. For example, Emma Watson is too pretentious, and Audrey Hepburn is too fairy. , Grace Kelly is too royal, which is not consistent.
Finally, you have to be American, and you must have blond hair and white skin. Theron and Halle Berry were directly screened out.
Aniston's character fits all the requirements. It can be said that the role of Rachel is written according to the American sweetheart.
After Aniston played Rachel for ten years, she naturally became the true embodiment of the American sweetheart.
At the same time, such a standard and customized role will never appear again.
Out-of-print title!
Eric smiled: "Role? Let me think about it."
He recalled the movies that Jennifer Aniston had starred in. There were indeed several representative and commercially successful ones.
For example, "Marley and Me", "Horrible Boss" and "Fake Family", Aniston contributed good acting skills and box office appeal.
These movies are not time-sensitive. They are the type that can be successful in any era. It is also good to shoot them in advance, which can be used as MGM's 2004 project.
"Jennifer, do you like dogs?"
Jennifer Aniston was stunned for a moment, thinking that this question was very jumpy.
"Of course, I like dogs. I have two Great Danes at home."
"Very good, MGM does have a project, a warm family movie about dogs."
"Hachiko?" Pitt asked.
"No, it's not a tragedy, it's a comedy, a warm comedy, I think Jennifer can be the heroine."
"Really?"
Aniston covered her mouth in surprise. She just wanted to give it a try and didn't expect to get the role.
Since she became famous with Rachel, she has also made several movies, but unfortunately they all failed, and gradually no projects came to her.
Aniston was thinking about starting with a low-cost independent movie or stage play.
"Of course it's true. The script is being written and is expected to be released next year. Are you interested?"
"Yes, very interested. Oh my God, it's like a big pie suddenly fell into my mouth."
"Honey, I said that attending this party was the right choice. It seems that this lucky ring really worked."
"You look so happy, just like Rachel."
After chatting with the two for a while, Eric found the table of the Walking Dead crew.
Frank Darabont, Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Daniel Wu, Barr Lefali and several behind-the-scenes people gathered around the round table.
Picked up a small snack and put it in his mouth. The academy prepared high-quality goods and tasted quite good.
"Daniel, aren't you filming in Hong Kong?"
"It's already finished. My scene has been finished."
"It's Jackie Chan's movie."
"Yes, "New Police Story", I play the villain."
"Not bad, with your face, your future is very bright."
Daniel Wu grinned and said, "Boss, it's worse than you!"
