"Why, you noticed it too? Michelle Pfeiffer is so beautiful! Her beauty cannot be blinded under any circumstances.

Her costume was green with florals, a color favored by black people. It didn’t match her skin tone at all, but even so, there was such a handsome FBI undercover detective who fell in love with her. This plot was played by Michelle

It’s very convincing.”

Julia Taylor was not satisfied with Michelle Pfeiffer's audition. The main reason was that Pfeiffer was too beautiful without dressing up, which was completely different from Tess' image of a secretary who had been struggling since high school.

Ronald nodded, then shook his head, "Hey, that's not all the big trouble I'm talking about."

He poured a cup of coffee for Julia, then sat down and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, "Have you noticed that the two male actors who were supporting the role couldn't help but have the desire to flirt with her?

Although I guess a lot of it is just a Broadway thing, trying to do live improv."

"Indeed, but there isn't much conflict with the role of Tess, right? Didn't Jack Traynor choose Tess between Tess and her manager Catherine?" Taylor didn't understand Ronald's point.

What is.

"And Joan Cusack, she seemed to perform particularly well when she was paired with Pfeiffer, as if she was competing with her in terms of acting skills."

"Haha, that's not of course. This is a rare opportunity for her to show her face. She wants to give you a good impression."

"No, that's not what I meant." Ronald knew very well that Pfeiffer could never play Tess, but it was like watching too many movies and the director had an instinct for the movie. It was a bit difficult to explain it exactly.

.

"Because she is so beautiful, even if we use makeup to make her look ugly, the audience will not be able to identify with this character when they see that she has been a secretary on Wall Street for ten years and is still wasting her time in this position. In this way, our movie

It will fail from the beginning.”

Ronald couldn't help but think of the time when filming "Dirty Dancing", Cynthia Rhodes became seriously ill after being infected during surgery. Even though she didn't recover at all, she still stole the spotlight from Jennifer Gray's heroine in front of the camera and ended up having to put on makeup.

Her skin turned a little yellow before she could get over it.

"But can't all these makeup techniques be done? I still don't understand what you mean." Julia Taylor looked at Ronald, almost thinking that he didn't want to use Pfeiffer and was deliberately trying to use her mouth to deny it.

.

"Let me put it this way, have you ever seen women who are not too young and work in low-level labor, but they still have a different temperament among their peers, so that men often ask them out?"

"Of course, we usually call them bitches..." Julia Taylor joked.

"Michelle is that kind of person, and of course I'm not saying she's Bitch. You see, even Alec (Baldwin) and Kevin (Spacey) can't help but improvise, and so can Joan Cusack.

Jealous actress, although her outfit today is not really beautiful, she just has a special temperament."

"You mean she can't wait ten years?"

“Yes, it’s impossible for a female secretary with such a beautiful temperament to work on Wall Street for such a long time without a truly wealthy man marrying her home... So now I’m starting to worry about Demi Moore’s persuasiveness after she pretends to be ugly.

"

Ronald had a history with both men, and he was a little worried that his vision wasn't the most accurate.

"How about we ask some of the stunt doubles who played with Pfeiffer today to go to Los Angeles and do it again with Demi? Then you can judge from their performance..."

"This is a good idea. I'll discuss it with her. You can find Alec and... well, forget it, Kevin, and Joan will go to Los Angeles together."

Then Ronald picked up the phone and called Pfeiffer's agent, Limato, "Hey, Ed, it's Ronald. You're a good agent, so I'm making a call that I didn't need to make."

"Michelle was eliminated, right?" Limato heard what Ronald meant.

"Yes, I promise to let you know early so that you can arrange other roles for her."

"Can I ask why?"

"If you had Michelle as beautiful as Michelle at the front desk of your company, would she work there as a secretary for ten years?"

"Okay, that's a good reason, thank you."

Ronald had a busy schedule and didn't have much time to be polite. After rejecting Pfeiffer's audition, Ronald asked Richard to help him watch the presentation of the New York Film Critics Circle Film Awards.

Different from the Film Critics Association Awards in other places, New York's unique one is called the Film Critics Circle Awards. Perhaps because there are too many media in New York, film critics organized more than one Film Critics Association. In the end, everyone compromised and named it the Film Critics Circle Awards.

This is also one of the earliest awards selected by film critics in America. The first award was given in 1935.

Therefore, their awards process is also the most formal and Oscar-like. The awards are usually held in December each year, and the trophy is awarded in January of the following year, a trophy in the shape of an upward pen tip.

Richard took out the New York Times, a super thick newspaper, found the movie review page, and handed it to Ronald. Then he threw away all the other pages. This is also the habit of most New Yorkers reading the Times - just read

Sections that interest you.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Screenplay...

Ronald pointed his finger at the list of winners and found that only the final Best Supporting Actress, "Moonlight" Olympia Dukakis, got a second place.

Ronald frowned. He had donated a lot of money to the New York Film Critics Association and sponsored next year's event. Why was there only one supporting actress in second place in the list today?

He picked up the phone and asked Richard to call Michael Gray, who was in charge of public relations.

"What's going on, Michael? My money doesn't seem to be doing what it should?"

"Ronald, I was about to report to you," Michael Gray's voice sounded as if he was in the car, "I will be on Fifth Avenue soon, something has happened in a big accident."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Five minutes later, Michael Gray came in holding a long cylinder. After greeting the two of them, he untied the cylinder hat and took out the

A large piece of cardboard was rolled out and fixed to the whiteboard on the wall with a magnetic round marker.

There are densely packed member photos on the paper. Those who support Ronald are marked with circles, those who are opposed are marked with crosses, and those who are neutral or have not expressed their attitude are marked with question marks.

"The New York Film Critics Circle is an association with the largest number of film critic members in the country. It is divided into several factions. Our strategy this time is mainly to start with women, because Ronald your female-themed movie 'Dirty Dancing'

gained a lot of favor from them,

Secondly, these female film critics have been dissatisfied with the current situation in which Hollywood movies always tell stories around the male protagonist, and the heroine is mostly just a vassal of the male protagonist. This "Moonlight" just suits their taste.

"

Michael Gray treated the New York Film Critics Circle Awards as a preview of the Oscars and did a very detailed job. Now he pointed to the headshot on the wall to explain to Ronald.

Ronald nodded. When Gray talked about it at that time, he said that generally in this kind of award-winning voting, everyone's vote count would not be too high. It depends on whether you can capture an iron-clad group, as long as they have enough votes.

There are reasons to vote for you. If you act together, small groups can also leverage big awards.

"Originally, our awards were enough to push Cher to the position of Best Actress, and Dukakis was a sure winner, and there was also a certain possibility of her taking second place in Best Screenplay, Best Film, and even Best Director.

.

However, a few days before the voting, another force intervened vigorously and changed the voting map."

Then, Michael Gray pointed to the triangular mark drawn with a green ink pen on the paper, gave Ronald a rough estimate of the data, and these people began to vote unanimously, which resulted in today's results.

"Who?" Ronald asked. The number of these people was amazing. If they voted unanimously, the female generals on their own would really not be able to stop them.

Michael Gray said nothing and looked at Ronald's agent Richard.

"Ahem...Ronald, I'm going to go out first and buy some food." Richard stood up and walked out knowingly.

"Why? No, he is my most trusted agent. There are no secrets between us." Ronald patted Richard on the shoulder and asked him to sit down.

"Well, in that case, let me tell you, these people are Jews."

"Huh?" Ronald stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and carefully looked at the mugshots marked with green triangles, as well as the names and media outlets below them.

They are all acquaintances.

Ronald recognized several Jewish New York film critics. They were the same ones who wrote articles criticizing their own films when "Dirty Dancing" was released.

"So they're not finished, right? Why did this shit happen again? Now that Jennifer Gray is the most popular Jewish actress, what else do they want to do?"

Ronald was angry. These Jews really are. Their logic is different from that of ordinary ethnic groups. After all, the Italians said that a truce was really a truce. They seemed to have suffered a big loss because they did not take advantage of enough.

After scolding, Ronald found that Richard was a little embarrassed, and then remembered that this man was also Jewish, and quickly said, "Well, either I have a problem with the Jews as a whole, or..."

"No, I understand. The Jews are not monolithic..." Richard said that he did not need to worry about being psychologically harmed.

"What Richard said is probably right," Michael Gray nodded to Ronald, "We also discovered a strange phenomenon. Not only you, Spielberg's 'Empire of the Sun' also won an award

No, not even the second place. Moreover, these people and the new film critics are vigorously criticizing this Jewish leader."

Michael Gray circled his hand and pointed at the Jewish film critics who originally wrote bad reviews of "Dirty Dancing", and this time they all gave Spielberg bad reviews.

"Spielberg's shameless child-centered approach, which only pursues box office, undermines this serious theme..."

"Too much obsessed with pictures and colors, forgetting the seriousness of the theme, and beautifying Japan too much..."

"Those planes and bombings were impressive, but the plot was puzzling... Why did people see the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima on the far southeastern coast of China?"

Many film reviews written by Jews are very explicit and unreserved criticism.

"Why?"

Ronald thought he had made a mistake, so he took two more Chicago newspapers over.

Roger Ebert's review of the movie was "Basically the theme of this movie was good, but the movie crashed before it even took off."

Sisko's criticism was even more thorough:

"I had no idea what the movie was about. It was such a complete mess, taking things from different places and piecing them together.

On the one hand, if it wants to say something about children's view of war, it might as well go see a movie made by John Boman called "Hope and Glory" that just came out and it's much better.

On the other hand, Spielberg wanted it to feel like an adventure movie, so you have a character played by John Malkovich, like Indiana Jones, helping kids through all the fun of war.

I don't know what Spielberg was trying to do."
