Chapter 183 181. Surrounded by mature women, what is American sweetheart?
The so-called Emmy Awards, which is the transliteration of the word "Immy", refers to the early image normal resolution tube camera.
It is a ceremony specifically for awarding TV dramas, which can be simply understood as the Oscars in the American TV industry.
It is known as one of the four major awards in the American entertainment industry along with the Grammy Awards, the Oscars and the Tony Awards.
The Tony Award is a drama award, and Anthony Mackian, the leading actor of Get Out, is the winner of the Tony Award.
So when someone asked his father to help him get a role in the film, Eric agreed without hesitation when he heard that the actor was a Tony Award winner.
In terms of fame alone, the Emmy Awards are certainly not as big as the Oscars and Grammy Awards overseas. Many people have never even heard of them. The most they know about are 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 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, etc., and there are awards for each field.
The Primetime Emmy Awards refers specifically to the one Eric is attending now, which is held on a Sunday in September every year.
The so-called prime time refers to programs broadcast between 8 pm and midnight.
Generally speaking, it is either a TV series or a reality show. Major TV stations rarely use this time slot to broadcast anything else, as that would be a waste of resources.
In addition to the Primetime Emmy Awards and Daytime Emmy Awards, there is actually another branch of the Emmy Awards called the International Emmy Awards.
As the name suggests, in addition to domestic American dramas, other countries in the world are eligible to select and submit their own dramas to participate as long as they join the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, become members, and pay annual membership fees.
So how much value does the International Emmy Award have? Is it as high as three or four floors? Does it have a big impact on the actors themselves? Not at all! A big ass! As long as it is a little useful, it is not completely useless! As long as you apply, you will be shortlisted. Whoever pays more will win the prize. This is the general award rule.
It's equivalent to going to the United States and spending money to buy a diploma. That's roughly what it means.
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 and that the Americans really knew what was good.
The unscrupulous media also confused the public by simply simplifying the International Emmy Awards into just the Emmy Awards. The problem is that you are not an American TV series, so you are not competing for any Emmy Awards.
These reports are just meant to fool newbies who know nothing about anything. Many industry insiders and knowledgeable audiences just watch them for fun.
The so-called International Emmy Award would be more appropriately renamed the Social Societies Award. Its value is not even as high as the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards that came more than a decade later. It's 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 Globe Awards, Emmy Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, etc., almost all those who are invited here to attend the award ceremony today are well-known Hollywood stars.
Not only stars from the small screen are included, but many stars from the big screen will also be invited to participate.
At this time, there were already crowds of people outside the Temple Theatre. The red carpet was laid out for hundreds of meters. Reporters kept pressing the shutter, and fans surrounded both sides and screamed.
Peter parked the car and Eric opened the door and got out.
As usual, he came alone and did not team up with the Walking Dead crew.
Walking along the red carpet, he knew that the cheers from these fans were not directed at him, after all, he was still a behind-the-scenes staff member.
So I didn't want to linger, I just wanted to quickly get into the theater, find my seat, and then be a quiet handsome man.
Next to it is the crew of the hit drama "Six Feet Under", which is also the current mainstay of HBO.
"Six Feet Under," "The Sopranos" and "The Walking Dead" currently constitute the three pillars of HBO.
But tonight, this crew will all be competitors.
Eric took one look and then paid no more attention to them. They were all small screen actors who would never make it to the big screen.
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 "Lust and the City", Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall.
"Hi! Eric, I see you."
When Kristen Davis noticed Eric passing by, her eyes lit up and she hurried over to greet him with a smile, acting very familiar.
When the female lead in "House of Cards" was being cast a few months ago, Kristen Davis auditioned, but she only received an apology, but she did become a familiar face.
The same situation was with Sarah Jessica Parker, who noticed the situation and quickly walked over to say hello.
As for the other two, they did not audition and had no connection with Eric, but they naturally knew Eric's identity.
Being stopped by two mature women in public, Eric couldn't ignore them and could only respond with a fake smile.
"Eric, you look so handsome and charming today. This suit suits your figure perfectly." Sarah Jessica Parker praised.
"No, he's always so handsome and charming that I want to eat him up every time I see him," Kristin Davis added.
The atmosphere in Hollywood has always been open, whether it is dressing or talking and joking.
Eric responded casually: "Ladies, you are also very charming. Fortunately, we are not competitors tonight, otherwise I would have been unable to help but admit defeat."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The two girls immediately giggled.
Kristen Davis came closer, licked her lips and whispered, "We can be competitors tonight if you want."
Eric glanced at her and said, "Damn, she is indeed a slut. She seduced me in public. It seems that she really wants to make progress."
The cameras kept clicking , and the reporters motioned for Christine to get closer. She simply took Eric's arm.
"Um?"
Eric could clearly feel his arm touching 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 hold Eric's other arm.
Another soft object.
After the reporters took a few photos, they simply called out to Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall to come over.
Then Eric was surrounded by four mature women, and his breath smelled like ripe apples.
It is the kind of apple whose skin may have turned a little black, and the flesh is relatively soft, and it will rot if you poke it.
The flash lights were blinding everyone and the reporters were asking for more photos from different angles.
Eric really wanted to roll his eyes and walk away, 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 tilted his head and looked over, and found that it was Brad Pitt.
He immediately squeezed out from the crowd of women: "Sorry ladies, good luck tonight."
Kristen Davis pouted slightly and winked at him.
I walked over and said hello to Pitt. The two had met many times before at premieres and various parties.
Brad Pitt is currently a top-tier male star in Hollywood, so I am qualified to stand with him and be considered a friend with whom I can have a couple of drinks and chat.
When Facebook was first launched, I actively helped promote it.
After chatting for a while, Eric asked curiously, "These reporters seem to be saying that you are also a shortlisted guest?"
Brad Pitt acted like he looked down on me: "Eric, I'm nominated for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series."
As he said this, he leaned over to Eric's ear and told the truth: "I didn't want to participate originally, mainly to accompany Aniston."
After listening to him, Eric suddenly remembered that Brad Pitt once made a guest appearance in an episode of "Friends". So that's it.
As they were 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 to introduce them, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I love Friends and every character in it. You are truly the best and most lovable screen partners."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The six of them laughed exaggeratedly at being praised.
Although it was the first time they met, Eric assured that he was a die-hard fan of "Friends" even before he traveled through time. This was his favorite American TV series, bar none.
If the copyright was not in the hands of NBC, he really wanted to buy it.
"Come on, let's take some pictures. It's not often that we can get the six of you together offline."
After the photo shoot, Eric looked at the reporter from the Los Angeles Times and said, "When the photos are developed, please send them to me. You know the address."
Brad Pitt was a little surprised: "Eric, it seems you are not lying."
"Of course, I said, an absolute super fan."
When they entered the theater, Eric, Pitt and Aniston chatted as they walked.
Jennifer Aniston winked at him, and her husband Pitt asked casually, "Eric, Jennifer has accumulated enough popularity on the small screen."
"In fact, she has always wanted to develop in the film industry. Does MGM have any suitable projects for her recently?"
Looking at this blonde girl who was hailed as the last "America's Sweetheart", Eric couldn't help but sigh that she did have a charm, a charm that belonged uniquely to Rachel Green.
What is America's Sweetheart? This title is not something that just any female star can get. It requires much more than just being beautiful.
The first is that the sweetheart must look sweet. She cannot be a strong woman with big breasts or long legs. For example, Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, the type that makes a man's crotch hot and then cold, are definitely not suitable.
The second is that the personality is a bit confused, but sunny and positive, not a green tea bitch. The glamorous types like Elizabeth Taylor and Emma Roberts cannot be selected.
Thirdly, the person must be kind and good-hearted. Normally, even if he or she is bullied, he or she will not say bad words and be like a crybaby. People like Anne Hathaway and Chloë Sevigny do not meet this requirement.
Fourthly, you need to have the feeling of a girl next door, be friendly, and not be pretentious. At the same time, you also cannot give people a sense of superiority and holiness that cannot be desecrated. For example, Emma Watson is too pretentious, Audrey Hepburn is too fairy-like, and Grace Kelly is too royal. This does not fit the bill either.
Finally, you have to be American and have blonde hair and white skin, so Theron and Halle Berry were directly eliminated.
All of Aniston’s personalities are met, and it can be said that the character of Rachel was written based on the American sweetheart.
After Aniston played Rachel for ten years, she naturally became the true embodiment of America's sweetheart.
At the same time, such standard and customized characters will never appear again.
Out of print title!
Eric smiled and said, "Role? Let me think about it."
He recalled the movies that Jennifer Aniston had starred in, and there were indeed several representative and commercially successful ones.
For example, in "Marley and Me", "Horrible Bosses" and "The Kids", Aniston contributed outstanding acting skills and box office appeal.
These films are not timely and are the type that would be successful in any era. It would be a good idea to shoot them in advance as MGM's 2004 project.
"Jennifer, do you like dogs?"
Jennifer Aniston was stunned for a moment, thinking that this question was quite a leap.
"Of course, I like dogs and I have two Great Danes at home."
"Good, MGM does have a project, a sweet family movie about dogs."
"Hachiko?" Pete asked.
"No, it's not a tragedy, it's a comedy, a heartwarming comedy, and I think Jennifer can play the leading role."
"Really?"
Aniston covered her mouth in surprise. She just wanted to give it a try and never thought she could get the role.
After becoming famous with Rachel, he made several movies, but unfortunately they all failed and gradually no projects came to him anymore.
Aniston was thinking about starting with low-budget independent films or stage plays.
"Of course it's true. The script is being written and is expected to be released next year. Are you interested?"
"Yes, very interested, my God, it's like a big pie suddenly fell into my mouth."
"My dear, I told you that it was the right decision to attend this party. It seems that this lucky ring really worked."
"When you're happy, you really look 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, Bar Lafayette and several behind-the-scenes people gathered around the round table.
I picked up a piece of snack and put it in my mouth. The ones prepared by the academy are all top quality and taste quite good.
"Daniel, aren't you filming in Hong Kong?"
"It's already finished filming. My scene is finished."
"It's a Jackie Chan movie."
"Well, in New Police Story, I play the villain."
"Yes, with your face, your future is very bright."
Daniel Wu grinned and said, "Boss, it's worse than you!"
