super actress

Chapter 276

It was also because of Rhea Noren that those suspicions and doubts would lurk in the undercurrent, becoming obscure and cautious, for fear of offending Rhea and causing her dissatisfaction.

Fox Films even needed to hold six meetings in a row, just to ask whether they could submit their post-screening suggestions to Rhea Nolen.

But if you change a leading actress or a different producer, the situation will be different.They'll jump right in, or they'll shoot in line with popular expectations from the start.

From a female perspective, it tells about the tragic history in the eyes of the beholder, the great hero-"Captain America", not Peggy Carter.

When people have to cautiously raise questions such as "the actor's role is too small", "should we add some butcher scenes to the actor?", "can there be a kiss scene here?", "will the actor's image be Will it be too thin?" Waiting for the ridiculous question, you will suddenly realize the status of female characters in action movies in the past few decades.

In Rhea's film, everything is reversed.

Subtle contradictions become more stark and explicit in the role reversal.

From the time the film adaptation was renamed Peggy Carter, everyone already knew it was going to tell the story of "Peggy".But what Fox couldn't believe was that Rhea Noren actually dared to let "Captain America" ​​be her supporting role, her foil, and her catalyst.

She makes a female character the centerpiece of saving the world, and doesn't leave much room for the male lead to help—but the well-known history belongs to the heroic story of "Captain America", and it's clear that the film's focus not here.

Director Steven Spielberg found the expression novel, but the studio found it intimidating.

However, Rhea herself is the largest investor, and she holds most of the right to speak. Real Me Productions has decided on the release date in December, and the movie will be released as scheduled.

It's just that when she reaches the position she is today, she will still get these judgments that are limited by the conventional mode of film.Although the voices of opposition and doubt are negligible, they can also reflect some signs.

These mixed signals are continuously collected, integrated, and finally turned into a detailed and systematic report sent to Rhea's mailbox, and then the important parts are selected by her assistant and communicated to Rhea.

"Things don't seem to be going as well as we expected." She doesn't feel unconcerned by being cast as "Ms. Rhea Nolen."

Assistant Holm persuaded on the phone: "It's nothing Rhea, every movie will encounter this before it is released, you have to be considerate of those who work under pressure, everyone will be afraid of screwing up.

Warner's share of the money from "Harry Potter" is too much to make Fox jealous. "

Although Rhea's real me production company has made a lot of money, Warner's share of the pie is enough to make several other major production companies jealous.

"Believe me, there are more people looking forward to the movie! Next we will make a publicity..." Holm said the next arrangement, and Rhea believed that they would do well.

Now Holm has his own assistant, too.

Now Rhea's team has been expanded and replaced, and has become a more complete and professional team.

In fact, she doesn't need to care so much about internal opinions, because now she has the most developed and advanced public opinion monitoring model. Online, there are giant online social platforms like RN.com, and offline, there are current affairs news from TV stations to newspapers and magazines. system.

Corresponding to the specific public relations promotion, the behind-the-scenes company of Ruiya's executive team can cut it off from the source.

It is an exaggeration to say that Rhea can determine the public opinion for a period of time. She can control what kind of news people see and what kind of expression they give back.As long as she opens the "backstage" and blocks those who are not satisfied——

If she wanted to weigh in on a movie review, it couldn't be easier.

The film critics alone have been "bought" by Rhea almost all over the place, and the bonus after the emergency public relations for "The Talented Ripley" has not disappeared. They are very willing to write good things for Rhea's movie.

As long as Rhea sends a request in the circle, most of the fellow actors, big-name directors and producers are willing to voice their support.

It's not hard to even get Fox executives to change their tune.

But it doesn't make sense that she doesn't want the results of this manipulation.

It's a sweet burden.When Rhea has mastered so many resources, how to restrain herself from excessive use is a huge test in itself.

Especially with Lex Luthor, the self-proclaimed new publicist who keeps pushing her.He has been envious of these methods of covering the sky with his hands for a long time.

During her time at Harvard, Lex kept coming to her.

This approach has attracted the attention of many people, and now their scandals are spreading again in the school.But Lex Luthor isn't the type to care about the eyes of others, and he doesn't take other people seriously at all.

All he valued was Rhea Noren.

"You are holding Zeus' 'Sky Thunder', if you don't bring down divine punishment, what's the point?"

Lex Luthor used a subtle metaphor, and he approached it a little bit: "Rhea, you've done enough for the film industry, for mutants, for us, you can definitely think more about yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Lex." Rhea could only say, "You're starting to worry about me even before the movie is released, should I be moved?"

"I just heard that the internal test screening of "Peggy Carter" got some questions." Lex Luthor smiled, and after he finished speaking, he used an incredible tone: "Are you nervous, Rhea ?”

Rhea hated his sharpness.

Lex Luthor must have sensed that she cared about the movie, so he was trying to use that to break her.

Half of his return to Harvard this time is for graduation—the other half is because Rhea will stay at Harvard until the winter vacation, maybe after Rhea got in touch with Norman Osborn, he has a sense of crisis, maybe Lex is fighting. Other ideas, but he clearly didn't intend to leave Rhea alone.

But what Lex brings is not all bad.

After the blockbuster speech, Rhea became even busier, often taking calls from various parties while catching up with different classes while walking.The brokerage assistant can help her handle most of the affairs, but there are still many things that need to be coordinated by Rhea.

Even when she returned to the dormitory of the Bauhinia Club, Rhea kept making phone calls.

It was very considerate for Lex to take the initiative to help her resolve the controversy that arose after the speech, but his reaction was too aggressive.He also wanted to reach out further.

"I don't think you need to care about those..." Lex Luthor frowned and thought for a while, he struggled to find a word that didn't offend Rhea, "worldly thoughts."

"The studios, the critics, the news media are all waiting for you to make money for them, and they're already making money for you," he said. "Of course you have the power to control them."

Rhea was silent for a while, she continued to stare at Lex, "So you think I need to control them for this movie to be successful."

The other party's expression softened, and the corners of Lex Luthor's mouth shrank, obviously realizing that his flattery was in the wrong place.

He tinkers: "Get more success!"

"You've done a very good job, Rhea. But people only expect better." Lex Luthor asked her in turn: "You can't please everyone, the problem is, you can still accept the audience now." Disappointed? Even if it's just a small part—"

This is what really stings her.

She was getting used to the admiration and admiration, and Rhea wasn't sure if she could handle a failure.Of course, Gao Zhu's movie achievements allow her to screw up once or twice. People will not be completely disappointed because she made a bad movie, but Rhea is not reconciled.

What's more, the meaning of "Peggy Carter" to her is different from that of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter".

This is an independent film that even Rhea doesn't know if it will be successful, and she has spent countless energy and efforts on it.

Unlike the multitasking guessed by the outside world, she took time out to devote herself to filming.

This kind of dedication that cannot be determined in return made Rhea's mentality a little unbalanced.

At the beginning, Rhea planned to release "Harry Potter" in advance, and Warner's doubts did not sway her. Now that Fox just hesitated, Rhea felt faintly uneasy.

She made those negative voices so loud.This is a cramped psychology that has been in a high-pressure situation for a long time.

Because success in general was no longer enough for her.

People held her to such a high position that even she herself could not come down.If you want to use the box office value to measure, [-] million, [-] million, [-] million, or even as high as one billion box office, can only be ranked at the bottom of the list of Rhea's movie works.

Switching to film awards, how many awards do you have to win this time to be considered excellent? MTV Most Popular Actress Award, Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, Oscar for Best Movie... Or do you want to go to the top three in Europe?

The latter is impossible, "Peggy Carter" is an American heroism movie through and through.It's just that Rhea took the breakthrough of the first heroine.Then can she continue to dominate the Hollywood film awards?

But when Rhea followed the producer and public relations team to think about these things, she was kidnapped by the vanity that was constantly building up.Lex Luthor saw this keenly.

He called himself a publicist, and Lex did part of it.He's behind the scenes helping to deify Rhea Noren, who is now the amazing "Ms. Rhea Noren," but she's not really a god.

She is still a worldly mortal.

Lex knew it clearly, but he still pushed Rhea up by all means. He needed all the community of interests she represented, and he wanted to create a new god.But what he really wanted was never "making gods". What he longed for and admired more was to witness the scene of Rhea Noren's "god falling".

This is a kind of hatred, which is also a kind of love.

Although this is selfish, self-interested, and self-satisfying.

And Lex sensed that this might be the closest he came to success.

Because Rhea Noren was even more anxious than he'd imagined.

In her world line, two or three years later, Hollywood ushered in the era of big heroine movies

Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider is a year away, Milla Jovovich's zombie-shooting Resident Evil saga is two years away, Uma Thurman's Kill Bill "The bloody revenge has not yet begun.

Then there's Kate Beckinsale's Underworld, Charlize Theron's Magic Woman...

There are many popular classics in this, but they are also produced by stepping on countless failure cases.

Perhaps it would be easier for Rhea to choose directly from these scripts.Will Paramount, which holds the copyright of "Tomb Raider", still reject Rhea?

But she still chose to challenge to adapt and shoot an adventurous film that is more in line with the theme of this world.

Rhea knew she couldn't just stop at the film level.Of course she loves her acting job, but she also needs utilitarianism beyond acting——

Filming "Peggy Carter" has her other selfish motives.

All the big heroine movies that Rhea knows, can't match the popularity and spread of "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter".And she just didn't want to be satisfied with that.

So Lex Luthor catered to her wishes and proposed to create a 100% "success" for her.

They can totally do it.

Rhea, however, did not want the result of a false promise.She has already integrated performance into half of her life. If the feedback from the audience is to be repackaged, then this kind of "prosperity" is too ironic.

Eventually Rhea said, "Fuck you!"

"Before you say such nonsense, watch my movie first!"

She took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm not going to listen to the opinions of amateurs. Lex, do your job well and don't worry about how I run the movie." This guy also said that it won't affect her, it's all nonsense ——

"I made a good film, I like it very much. If someone doesn't like it, then don't like it."

When she said this, Rhea even felt happy, and she smiled, not so delicate and beautiful, but extremely touching.

From another perspective, does Rhea really need to care about box office and awards?Is she going to adjust the weight of the film for the potential market audience, and modify her performance for academic taste?

When Rhea can decide half of the Oscar awards, she really feeds the appetite of many people, including her own.This changed a few things.

Political implication, financial profit, ideological influence... Ha, everyone sees her movies as more important.

but--

Rhea said softly: "This is a movie." Like all her works that are seriously filmed, produced and released, now, it is only time to show acceptance to the public.

There will always be something the audience likes.

And when she talks about the audience and the market, she is not just referring to the human beings on the earth - if you look at the stars, even if only 1% of individuals fall in love with this movie, it is an extremely huge group of life.

That's what Rhea is doing all of this for.

Instead of being satisfied with conquering and controlling the audience in front of you.

This is the desire for power she should have!
