Chapter 625 625: Oscar Public Relations, Brooke Shields
[Chapter 625: Oscar Public Relations, Brooke Shields]
Linton returned to Los Angeles and spent two wonderful days gathering at the manor with the ladies and the four children to make up for the regret of not being together on Christmas.
To Linton's surprise, in the evening, while he was having a wild party with the ladies...
At the height of the climax, when emotions were running high, Sophie Marceau, who had always possessed an artistic flair, suddenly hugged him tightly. After completing a cry from the Soul, she uttered the classic line from Titanic: "Honey, I jump, You jump?"
Linton was practically caught between laughter and tears, but of course, he gave a firm answer: "Yes, You jump, I jump."
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Sophie Marceau finally let go of him with contentment.
However, it also made Linton deeply feel the massive influence Titanic had among women.
Not only that, but what happened next surprised him even more. Perhaps stimulated by Sophie Marceau's actions, or perhaps because women are inherently emotional, Titanic had indeed struck a chord in their hearts.
Next, starting from Madonna, Winnie, Nicole Kidman, Christiana, Monica, Catherine, Naomi, Winona, Jennifer Connelly, Charlize, Shania, Cameron, Sherilyn Fenn, Xu Qing, Li Xiaoran, Vivian Chow, Michelle Reis, Sakai Izumi, Noriko Sakai, and Nakamori Akina, among others...
Without exception, at the moment of climax, they all held him and asked the same question. Only after hearing Linton's firm answer, "Yes, You jump, I jump," did they release him with satisfaction.
It is particularly worth mentioning that over these two days, Shania also fulfilled her promise, preparing many very flirtatious small props and being fully cooperative and proactive, giving Linton an unexpected surprise.
Even more unexpectedly, with Shania taking the lead, the others also displayed their own abilities...
Linton fell into the same state of happiness, joyfully holding a party at home with everyone for two consecutive days and nights.
...
According to common practice, after Linton and Kate Winslet's team finished the North America roadshow promotion, they should have started the overseas roadshow tour.
With Titanic becoming a hit overseas, Universal Pictures' branches in various foreign countries also called the headquarters one after another, eagerly hoping the big boss and other main creators would come for roadshow promotions to add more fuel to the fire and further stimulate the box office.
However, this time was different. Titanic was absolutely not just a popcorn commercial blockbuster; it was also a world-shaking masterpiece with sentiment and artistic appeal.
Whether it was the film itself, James Cameron's directorial skill, or the performances of Linton and Kate Winslet in the movie, everything was extremely brilliant and could be called perfect.
Coupled with the movie-watching craze it set off worldwide, the sustained attention and discussion it triggered across the United States, and the movie's continuously high box office trend, everyone believed that in the upcoming Oscar awards season, whether it was Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, or Best Actress, it would be highly competitive.
So at this time, whether it was James Cameron, Linton, or Kate Winslet, it was clearly not suitable for them to leave Los Angeles. Instead, they should devote their energy to public relations for the Oscar awards.
And if these three core figures didn't go for overseas promotional roadshows, the audience might not care if others went instead.
After repeated weighing, Universal Pictures could only very regretfully cancel the overseas promotional tour for the Titanic lead cast, causing the overseas branches to complain incessantly.
...
After Universal Pictures and Linton Film Company consulted together, they registered Titanic for all Oscar and Golden Globe Awards categories it was eligible for.
Of course, for the specific public relations that followed, Linton still designated Harvey to be in charge.
The focus of the public relations this time was different from all previous movies. Linton proposed an unprecedented goal, hoping to bag all four of the most important awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress.
With such a daunting task, even though Harvey was already a veteran of the Oscar awards season and was well-versed in the public relations routines for awards, he couldn't help but feel immense pressure.
But the problem was that since he had been branded with the slave seal by Linton, he had surrendered body and Soul, becoming a loyal slave under Linton's command. He couldn't harbor any thoughts of opposing Linton's orders, so he had to do his best, using all sorts of means for the public relations.
...
Next, under Harvey's arrangement, Linton, Kate Winslet, and James Cameron frequently attended various events to interact with the Oscar judges.
However, what made Linton feel helpless was that the experience of each event was very poor.
The male judges were fine; after all, his status was too high. He was the boss of two large Hollywood film companies, a great director, a superstar, and one of the top-ranked billionaires in the world.
When facing Linton, they were mostly respectful, flattering him in various ways and seeking cooperation and support.
But the female judges were different. One must know that Linton didn't just have high status; more importantly, he was young, handsome, and dashing—an absolute high-quality 'meat'.
Every time he attended a party event, all the female judges would find various ways to take liberties with him. When meeting, there would definitely be a big hug that they were reluctant to let go of for a long time, with various small movements in between—hands wandering, and the bolder ones even thinking about giving him a French kiss.
Of course, Linton was a big figure in Hollywood after all, so they didn't dare to go too far. They only dared to dance on the line between passion and harassment, trying their best to take some advantage.
If it were young and beautiful girls doing this, Linton wouldn't mind much. Some stunners would even actively cooperate, making it physically and mentally pleasant for both parties.
For example, Julia Roberts, Brooke Shields, January Jones, Reese Witherspoon, Demi Moore, and Meg Ryan—these were female stars who, although older, had extremely high beauty levels.
Linton would even happily stay behind with them after the party events ended, continuing to deeply explore life in luxury hotel suites, finally delivering gifts of billions of essence...
Truly, for these female stars to become screen sirens and memories for a generation, they not only had extremely high beauty but also naturally had their own characteristics, their own wonderful points, and their own charms.
Moreover, because of the appearance of the Beauty Pills Linton developed two years ago, they were naturally the first batch of buyers and users. Everyone's beauty had recovered quite a bit. While not saying they had completely regained their youthful beauty, they still possessed an alluring charm.
Every stunner left Linton with deep memories, making him appreciate the beauty of life.
Furthermore, the popularity each of them carried was not low, which provided no small amount of help to Linton's Cultivation.
And these stunners were clearly very satisfied with Linton's performance as well. Afterward, they all exchanged contact information with Linton, expressing that they could gather again at any time.
...
Among them, Brooke Shields gave him an especially unique feeling. She truly lived up to her reputation as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World,' a presence that outshone all of Hollywood in the 80s and was voted the most beautiful woman in the world by multiple magazines across the United States.
He remembered back when he was still a student, Brooke Shields was definitely his dream idol. A poster of Brooke Shields hung by his bedside, and she often walked into his dreams.
Brooke Shields had been a superstar since childhood, becoming famous throughout Hollywood and the world before she was 20. Unfortunately, she didn't seize the opportunity and made the wrong choice at a critical moment.
When she was at her most popular, instead of continuing her efforts in Hollywood, she actually chose to go to Princeton University to study. Moreover, she completely stepped away from her identity as an entertainer, wholeheartedly hiding away in the university to study, completely losing touch with Hollywood.
Unfortunately, by the time she graduated four years later, many new starlets had already emerged in Hollywood, firmly occupying the ecological niche she had left vacant.
After that, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any good resources, had no breakout works, and was even less able to recover her former popularity.
Furthermore, Brooke Shields was born in '65, so she was only 33 now, about the same age as Christiana and the others.
After continuously using the Beauty Pills for over two years, although her beauty hadn't returned to its Peak, she wouldn't lose to the Beautiful Angels like Nicole Kidman, Charlize, and Catherine, who had been long nourished by Linton.
She might only be slightly inferior to Christiana and Monica, which showed how good her innate conditions were.
Of course, Brooke Shields might also have had other intentions. When she was with Linton, she was also fully cooperative, with all sorts of varieties...
The two stayed awake all night, engaging in various battles until the next morning.
Having sentiment, beauty, temperament, and being so cooperative and proactive naturally made Linton feel especially wonderful, even giving rise to the idea of bringing her into his harem.
But then he thought about how his Harem was already too large, not to mention there were so many new starlets still waiting for him to discover. Adding people to the Harem should be done cautiously in the future, so he dismissed the thought.
However, for a stunner like Brooke Shields, it was definitely impossible for him to just give her up. Maintaining smooth communication in the future was a must.
Just as Linton was thinking about how to get along with Brooke Shields in the future, Brooke Shields, who was lying softly on him, raised her head and kissed him, speaking languidly, "Honey, you're amazing. You're just like a God; you've fulfilled all my fantasies."
Linton stroked the soft blonde hair on her head, "Baby, you're also very wonderful. You truly are an enchanting stunner; last night was truly an unforgettable night."
Brooke Shields sat up, revealing a view of boundless beauty, her watery big eyes looking at Linton, "Honey, really?"
"Of course. Don't you know how beautiful you are and how great your charm is?"
Brooke Shields leaned into his embrace, stretching out her hand to caress Linton's handsome face, "It seems we have the same feeling. Honey, then can I make a request?"
"Go ahead, what request?"
"Can we have a date once a month in the future?"
"Of course, it would be my honor."
Brooke Shields happily gave Linton a kiss, "Honey, then it's a deal. You can't lie to me."
Linton kissed her back, "Baby, why do you say that?"
Brooke Shields extended a slender finger and tapped Linton's forehead, saying coquettishly, "You forgot, you've already stood me up several times."
"Did that happen?"
"Do you want me to help you remember? During the premiere of your movie Mission: Impossible, during your concert in Los Angeles, and during your concert in New York—how did you promise me, and what was the result?"
Linton's Face turned red as he remembered that he had indeed promised her offline dates several times before, but afterward, because he was busy with various things, he hadn't followed through.
And it wasn't just Brooke Shields; actually, there was another great beauty, Cindy Crawford, who was the same and had also been stood up by him three times.
But since Brooke Shields was so spirited and last night's battle gave him such a great experience and made him feel so enchanted, he believed the taste of Cindy, a beauty of the same level, wouldn't be bad either. It seemed necessary to find time to make up for this regret as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he quickly reached out his hands to embrace Brooke Shields and gave her a kiss, "Baby, it was my fault before. It definitely won't happen again. I'm a man of my word."
Brooke Shields returned the kiss passionately, "Good, honey, remember our agreement. My request isn't high, just once a month."
"Baby, don't worry."
Linton initially thought she would ask him for resources, but he didn't expect her to just hope to maintain a monthly date with him, without mentioning any other requests at all.
This instead made him feel that Brooke Shields was different. Of course, he didn't show it on the spot, but the thought had already moved in his heart, and he decided to continue observing her for a while.
If future dates could consistently be so physically and mentally pleasant, while not saying he'd bring her into the Harem, he would definitely look after her with a good movie role.
Besides, giving her a good movie role—if Brooke Shields could become popular again and her popularity increased, then his dating and battling with her would actually be helpful to his Cultivation. In the end, it was still helping himself.
Of course, when leaving, Linton still gave her a bottle of Beauty Pills, which made Brooke Shields so happy she mustered her strength again and pulled him into another big battle before they finally parted reluctantly.
...
But the problem was that young and beautiful Oscar judges were only a tiny minority; the vast majority of female Oscar judges were older.
As everyone knows, even if women are well-maintained, once they pass 40, their beauty generally collapses severely, and the older they get, the stronger the body odor becomes.
There was another even more fatal point: young women are very diligent about grooming themselves, such as regular shaving, deodorizing, cleaning, etc., keeping themselves looking glamorous and bright at all times.
But after passing 40, perhaps because they've lost confidence in their looks, the vast majority of women become lazy and give up on themselves, unwilling to spend time on grooming, which forms a negative feedback loop that makes their image collapse even faster.
Even with the Beauty Pill Linton developed over the last two years, if they don't work hard themselves, they still can't save the situation of a beauty's twilight years. Except for a very few who are very self-disciplined or in high positions, most turn into ordinary old women.
Facing the various passions of these old women was truly hard for Linton to endure. Each time, he had to use his magic power to shield his senses and carefully protect himself, resisting their private small movements so these female hooligans couldn't take advantage of him.
Of course, the effect was also very significant. As long as Linton attended a public relations party, all the judges present would very clearly state their full support for Titanic and Linton, as well as James Cameron and Kate Winslet.
Some with better relations, such as Lucas, Julia Roberts, and Nicolas Cage, also promised to go all out to persuade the friends around them to fully support him.
