Chapter 173
After the sun rose again the next day, the wind direction in Hollywood has completely changed.
Reports about MJ's past, the Cruise couple's marriage, etc., failed to overshadow the uproar caused by the arrest of David Geffen.
No one would have thought that David Geffen, who has always been clever, would fall on that ridiculous Rick Wilson, because the latter not only transcribed a secret account about Geffen, but also exposed him by accident. The inside story of his own influence, smuggling and trading in counterfeit art.
Maybe it's because people are unlucky that they have to stuff their teeth when they drink cold water.
After being arrested and reported, the whole process of how Geffen settled and dealt with the biographer this time spread along with Amber Lawrence's report that was not published in the "New York Times" because of online revelations by anonymous sources.
Perhaps it is human nature to pursue taboos, and the discussion on this matter on the Internet was suddenly heated up, but suddenly it was artificially suppressed and became an unspeakable name.
[The big villain is the boss of the Nirvana band—oh my god!Did Kurt Cobain really commit suicide? ? ? 】
[E, I still like "Interview with the Vampire", but what he did is already a serious crime. 】
【I heard that the villain and Dao Si are close friends, I can't even look directly at Dao Si, whom I love...】
[The villain is the chief culprit who destroyed the MJ Iron Triangle back then!At that time, MJ trusted him so much, but he only regarded MJ as a tool to make money. I doubt that some time ago, MJ's case was brought up again, just to cover up his crimes! 】
[He should not have been completely abandoned, otherwise the report would not have been suppressed. 】
[To be honest, I prefer the big villain to be a victim of Hollywood's internal power struggle. Is he really that 'evil'?I'm afraid not necessarily. 】
【Upstairs, that means you haven't seen how the villain got rid of former CAA boss Michael Ovitz!The super agent who used to be number one in Hollywood's most powerful list was directly betrayed by everyone, and even the reputation of his children was discredited. Isn't this considered "evil"? 】
[Come on, the Hollywood power list is not reliable, who would care if he is powerful or not?Is it on the list? 】
[But you can’t deny that Michael Ovitz was a big shot in Hollywood at the time...]
In the middle of the night, Michael Ovitz was wearing presbyopic glasses, typing on the keyboard, and using a vest account to have a passionate match with people online.
Unexpectedly, netizens didn't care much about the mental journey of former CAA boss Michael Ovitz. What they wanted to know was that David Geffen, the godfather of the music industry, suddenly became a legal cafe. What's the inside story behind this.
But even so, Michael Ovitz let out a sigh of relief. When he got the news, he opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate. He went to work at SKY for several days and was full of energy, as if he had become ten years younger overnight.
The general public may not know the inside information, but the central figures in Hollywood know a little bit more, and they can't help feeling deeply afraid of this seemingly beautiful and docile young actress.
Early this morning, the top executives of SKY TV Network were having a meeting.
As the main American TV series in next fall, "Entourage", which mainly tells about the Hollywood ecology, is personally controlled by Michael Ovitz, who was born as an agent. He even recruited Robin Williams in the first three episodes of the sample by virtue of his personal connections. Superstars such as Adams, Josie Horton and Leonardo DiCaprio joined in.
In addition, a singing talent show "American Singer Contest" is also under preparation.
"Everyone—" Archie Dano stood at the top of the oval conference table, second only to Michael Ovitz, with a smile on his face, "First of all, congratulations on the successful conclusion of the advertisement bidding for our program, Coca-Cola Company I won the exclusive naming rights, thank you very much!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly, and took the lead in applause to the head of marketing of Coca-Cola who was sitting at the corner of the conference table.
As the producer of drama series and programs, Tianji Films signed a five-year strategic cooperation agreement with Skynet Media long before everything started, which is much shorter than the ten-year agreement negotiated by Universal Pictures, but the terms is more flexible.
By the way, the reason why Coca-Cola pays such an expensive advertising fee for a reality show with an uncertain future is largely because Michael Ovitz somehow persuaded another Michael——Michael. Jackson - the reason why the shy MJ agreed to be the mentor of the first season.
Although affected by the child molestation case, MJ's public image is not as good as before, but as the undisputed king of pop music, the huge attention he brings is unparalleled.
And just imagine, the King of Pop, who used to shoot classic Pepsi commercials, suddenly picked up Coca-Cola... that must be very exciting!
Michael Ovitz smiled even brighter, and continued: "Next, what we will discuss is that in addition to MJ and Simon Cowell, the show needs at least two mentors, one male and one female."
"How about inviting Madonna?"
"Impossible, Madonna and MJ have fallen out since the failure of the last collaboration."
"How about Whitney Houston or Janet Jackson?"
"The show would be too dark for that."
"Maybe Mariah Carey? But she's also half black and half white."
"Celine Dion doesn't have this problem. Her song "My Heart Will Go On" is too popular."
"But I doubt whether these DIVAs will accept our invitation. After all, the income of touring is much higher than that of recording programs in a studio."
"Then invite the queen of the older generation to come out of the mountain."
"The older generation? Which one is the older generation? Cher and Streisand don't admit they are old."
"I still like mimi, her variety show effect should be very interesting."
SKY's production building has heatedly discussed the candidates for the program mentor, but this has nothing to do with Josie in the UK.
After she finished handling the trivial matters in Los Angeles, she completely entered a state of obscurity, and came to a small southern town in Warwickshire, England to join the team.
The crew took over the only four-star hotel in the town, and all the cast and crew stayed there, including Josie.
On the first day she arrived, she was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the town like a movie.
The quiet river slowly passes through the town, driving the ancient old mill and the moss-covered wooden water wheel. The sun shines on the half-timbered and half-stone buildings along the street, dotted with evergreen shrubs and delicate flowers and plants. , everything is peaceful and beautiful, as if you are in a paradise.
"If it weren't for the trouble of connecting planes on the road, I really want to live here for a while every year."
Josie sat in an open retro four-wheeled carriage, looking at the scenery outside the town and sighing.
Ernest Dawson, who was driving for her, didn't even look back, "If you can bear the lack of internet cables and movie theaters here, it's still a good place for a peaceful life."
Long before Josie's arrival, Ernest, as a local, ended his trip to Northern Europe. He visited the castle refurbished by the crew first, and had a chat with Jon Amir, the director of "The Trap". Cooperation changed some details of the castle.
"Forget it, I'll go crazy if I don't have a network cable for a long time." Such a scene only passed in my mind for a second, and Josie refused without thinking. She said to Ernest: "Fox, then Bian has confirmed the Los Angeles premiere of "The Perfect Victim", and the preliminary promotional activities have already started, and intensive exposure will be carried out in early December."
"Just tell me the date and location of the premiere, and I don't care about the rest," Ernest said.
His expression was still plain, he was obviously dressed like an ordinary person, he wore a jacket over his linen shirt, and the mud-stained cuffs were rolled up quite casually, but he was a bit more restrained and elegant than ordinary people.
In the director's world, after the film is finished and post-processing is completed, his creative work can be finished, and all that is left is to go to the cinema to enjoy this work, rather than wasting time and energy for awards season.
That obviously made him very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Josie still knew Ernest well, so she didn't plan to bring him in the award season from the very beginning. The public relations focus of "The Perfect Victim" was not the best picture or best director, but the performance award was locked early .
So Josie nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, but you may have to accept some interviews, so you shouldn't have any problem with that, right?"
Ernest shook his head, unable to hide his complaints, "I am willing to share my creative process with others, as long as they don't obsess over whether the film is based on what the "Sun" patients with cerebral atherosclerosis have been doing for many years. From my time at Eton."
"So, The Sun asked you this?"
Facing Ernest's typical British face, Josie generally wouldn't laugh exaggeratedly—unless she couldn't help it.
"How did they interview you?" She was so curious.
Ernest sighed silently, and replied with the clatter of horseshoes: "I was recognized by that reporter on the central line during rush hour, and he blocked me right in front of me the whole way."
The Central Line is a line in the London Underground and is also the longest line in the London Underground at 46 miles.
——And that chattering reporter also sprayed him nearly [-] stations of saliva...
Josie burst out laughing, and it was entirely conceivable that Ernest, out of politeness and restraint in public, had no way to drive people away and could only suffer the torture passively.
Mentioning this matter, until now Ernest subconsciously raised his forehead, and added: "I personally don't discriminate against street literature, but in that case, what I want to do most is to find a tool to stop his disastrous Mouth, instead of answering some weird questions."
"Ahem, pay attention to your image, gentleman." Josie was very thankful that she was not drinking tea, "From another perspective, this may be a sign that our movie has received a lot of attention, which is a good thing .”
"Well, you're right," said Ernest.
After sending Josie to the only four-star hotel in town, Ernest said goodbye, and thoughtfully gave her a pair of handmade scented candles, saying it would be good for jet lag.
Then, Ernest stood on the stone road in front of the hotel, fished out an apple from the grid on the cart, and the bay red horse that pulled the cart rubbed him docilely and affectionately, and gnawed on his hand. Apple also neighed happily a few times.
The blond young man, who looked like a classical oil painting, rubbed the horse's head, stepped onto the carriage and raised the reins, and the carriage started rolling again, staring blankly at another visitor from Los Angeles who had just arrived at the entrance of the hotel by car.
"Where is the camera lens?" Robert Downey Jr. hooked the sunglasses on his face with his fingers, and tried to open his big caramel-colored eyes and asked.
