Chapter 197
Among the outposts and vanes of the awards season so far, Josie has only a few victories.
Due to the late release date of the film, she only won the best actress from the New York Film Critics Association among the four most important film critic awards in the outpost.
In the vane awards, she missed out on the broadcast critics nomination, the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild were safe, but at the Golden Globes just held on Monday night, she was nominated for best actress in a drama category Lost to Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth", the best actress in a music category was won by Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love".
"It's normal." Eve, her publicist, explained casually, "Don't forget your feat of double mentions and double wins last year. As long as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association doesn't completely lose its mind, it's impossible to award you consecutively."
Josie, who was sitting on the sofa in the airport VIP lounge, gave Eve a smirk, and said, "To be honest, I'm not worrying about the list of winners of the Golden Globes, but because I'm really bored on the plane. Read magazines to pass the time."
——It's just that she just turned to the special report on the Golden Globe Awards.
"The Perfect Victim" received a total of four nominations at this year's Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture in a Drama Series, Best Actress in a Drama Series, Best Screenplay, and Best Film Score. This led to film critic Kenneth Turan's column in the "Los Angeles Times" mocking him again.
Josie herself was also very displeased with this result.
Because at the beginning of being invited to participate in this awards ceremony, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, actively hinted that she would be there to share the pork, so that she did not expect the possibility of "The Perfect Victim" returning empty-handed.
Yes, compared to the authority of the Oscars, the Golden Globes prefer to play with balance and gain ratings. Isn’t it just sharing pork?
Josie made a note in the small notebook in her heart.
"Since it's boring, let's talk about work." Eve glanced at her watch, closed her latest Apple laptop, and asked, "What do you think of the photos exposed by the National Enquirer?"
Just this morning, the notorious Hollywood tabloid ran a headline with a headline: "Josie Horton's new Asian love interest!" ", the accompanying picture is a series of scenes of a young woman who is very similar to Qiao Xi in back and profile, knocking on the room of Zunlong Hotel late at night alone.
Although Zun Long is not an unidentified actor in Hollywood, "Year of the Dragon" starring the popular Mickey Rourke in the 80s made him the coolest gangster in the minds of teenagers at that time, and later "The Last Generation" "Emperor" pushed his career to the peak, and he is still the spokesperson of Rolex watches.
But his development in Hollywood in the past few years has been somewhat unsatisfactory. There is only one literary film "Mr. Butterfly" which is not bad, and the others can only play some villains or unimportant supporting roles.
Most white people always have a kind of racial discrimination in their bones, and the chain of discrimination is also very clear. Black people, people of color, etc. are arranged in order, and women are treated differently from men. For example, a popular Hollywood actor and an Asian woman. □In the past, it is not a big deal.
The reverse result was quite different.
In the final analysis, this circle and even this society are very hostile to women, and the subtle influence of misogyny has even become the mainstream consciousness that Hollywood wants to convey.
What's even more frightening is that most women are unable to realize the problem, but choose to follow "tradition" and "rules" intentionally or unintentionally.
The famous Hollywood playboy Warren Beatty has slept with tens of thousands of women, but no matter inside or outside the circle, there is no lack of envy and amazement for his evaluation. Even after he married Annette Bening, the media used Also titles like "Annette Bening Takes Hollywood's Number One Lover" and "Warren Beatty's Prodigal Son Comes Back".
instead of—
"Is the young and beautiful Annette Bening crazy? Why did she marry that dirty old cucumber?"
Closer to home.
Qiao Xi was guarded by several groups of paparazzi when she went out early in the morning, and she couldn't stop until she entered the airport. Because of the commotion, she had to hide in the VIP room for a while, which ruined her originally good mood. When I heard Eve mention it again, I immediately flattened my mouth.
She resisted the urge to cover her face with a magazine, and said angrily, "How else can you see it? Why don't you find a way to find that damn stuntman, or continue to write your PR statement on the computer instead of It’s here to torture your customers in a bad mood!”
"The public is only willing to believe what they want to believe in scandalous scandals." Eve shrugged nonchalantly, not thinking that finding the stuntman who caused the trouble would solve the matter, "Besides, that old fox from Guber How can it be possible to fight an uncertain battle? Everyone is played around by him."
Miramax was undoubtedly the man behind the incident of kicking the photo, but Peter Guber also contributed to the flames.
As an old man who has been in the circle for many years, Peter Guber is not as derailed from high-tech as most people think, and because he has been serving the Sony Group for a long time, he is not interested in personal computers, Internet surfing, electronics, etc. New things like games, I am much more proficient than it seems.
The most important thing is that he can't do the stupid thing of putting time bombs in other people's hands.
A humble pinhole camera can change the whole thing.Peter Guber believed that Steven Spielberg had credibility, but David Geffen did not, so after noticing the presence of Gwyneth Paltrow earlier, he did not remind Steven Spielberg, but followed the trend to wait for the girl's choice.
I have to say, she really gave them a big surprise.
Take a look at the picture of their final harvest——
E, an elegant and noble female star rummaging through trash cans or something...
God, even if Gwyneth Paltrow pinched her nose, people could feel the smell through the camera.
In addition, Amy Pascal is going to start with Gwyneth Paltrow's ex-girlfriend Winona Ryder, and the best actress in "Shakespeare in Love" has already died in advance of their plan, The only difference is how much of a PR impact this will have on Shakespeare in Love.
Josie propped her chin with her palms, her lightly made-up face was extraordinarily exquisite and eye-catching under the light, "I'm really glad that these elderly people who keep pace with the times are our partners, not our opponents."
——The operation of carrying a pinhole camera with you, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel a little chills down the spine.
Eve shrugged and said, "It's all for Oscar. Anyone can be an enemy until the last moment."
Josie was noncommittal and only asked, "When are they going to clean me up?"
"Let the public opinion ferment for a while." Eve said, "As for the degree of control, I will be responsible for follow-up. This wave is enough for you to gain countless sympathy points. I think we are getting closer and closer to your statuette. "
After speaking, he turned on his laptop again, and continued to revise the public relations speech that had not yet been finished.
At this time, Josie also put on her eye mask and earphones, and rested on the backrest with her eyes closed. The VIP lounge became more and more quiet for a while.
Until the airport staff came in to remind them that they could board the plane.
According to Josie's worth, of course she should have equipped with private jets and luxury yachts long ago, but she herself is not very interested in these things, and usually chooses business class or first class on ordinary airliners.
So it's completely reasonable to run into someone once in a while.
"It's really an honor to meet you at [-] feet, Ms. Horton." The hedge fund expert in suit and tie sat on his seat, turned his head and extended his hand to Josie who was seated by the window, "Bobby Axelrod, call me Bobby or Ax."
"Hi, Ax." Josie smiled, "I hope we have a nice flight."
Bobby Axelrod shrugged slightly, and said, "That depends on whether the joke I told can amuse you, ma'am."
At the end of last year, Qiao Xi bought a large amount of crude oil futures at a price of US$9.25 through the operation of this Wall Street elite. Although the recent price has risen slightly, it is far lower than the oil price before the impact of the Asian crisis.
According to Josie's expectation, international crude oil prices will bottom out in March, and then will soar all the way to the highest oil price peak since the Gulf War. To be safe, they'd better be ready to close after the breakthrough price breaks through 30 US dollars per barrel. hand.
But she may not have time to wait until that time, because the Lord of the Rings crew is about to start work, the final round of auditions will be held after the Oscars, and Peter Jackson is asking for money again, so Josie's cash flow is a little tight.
"The Perfect Victim" has grossed nearly 5000 million US dollars at the box office, and it is just around the corner to break through 28 million in North America. According to the usual practice, the first batch of box office share will be settled after [-] days of release, but Sony Columbia will deduct the distribution fee first. At present, the only certainty is Yes, the film must reach profitability in theaters.
In addition, DVD distribution and back-end income are the bulk of the film's real profits.
As the awards season progressed, Sony Columbia's other Olympic seeds were wiped out, and the importance of "The Perfect Victim" rose again. This time, the "National Enquirer" broke out even more annoying.
However, whether it is Peter Guber of Mandela Films or Amy Pascal of Sony Columbia, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Peter Guber met with Steven Spielberg and others. That night, a tabloid reporter took photos of the popular female singer Britney Spears and Superboy member Justin Timberlake on a secret date. It hit the newspaper headlines.
Amy Pascal went to visit the crew of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" in a low-key manner, and had a long private talk with the heroine Winona Ryder in the other party's lounge.
