Chapter 276

"Don't rush to expand the theaters—" Josie walked aside, leaning against the window and meditating, "Hilary Swank's performance is definitely Oscar-level, we should have full confidence in this, what we need to do now is Keep the film available in theaters in and around Los Angeles."

Most of the Oscar Academy judges live in Los Angeles, especially near Beverly Hills, so it is not without reason that they are ridiculed as Beverly Hills retirees.

Hosting screenings at a retirement home in Beverly Hills is one of Miramax's go-to awards season tricks.

Qiao Qian thought for a while and then said: "The film critics don't need to do too much action for the time being. This year's awards season is destined to be a melee. We will try to keep a low profile in the early stage and focus on public relations performance awards."

Having experienced several public relations activities during the awards season one after another, Josie also has some experience in how to hit the Oscars.

In addition to expensive lobbyists, it is nothing more than the old routine of raising oneself and discrediting opponents. It is even better to have big stars. Big stars attend the event in person, and it is easy for those retired people to feel valued.

But the most important thing is to ensure that more judges have seen the movie.

"Boys Don't Cry" has very few stars in the main creative lineup, but fortunately, this movie is adapted from a sensational social news event. It has its own controversy and enthusiasm, and it just needs an opportunity.

So Josie had already contacted the New York Times reporter, Amber Lawrence, just waiting for her long-planned report to appear in the newspaper at the right time.

But it's better to use less of a big killer like a front-page report in the New York Times, and not every movie is suitable for this kind of hype.

"Boys Don't Cry" can occupy this convenience, partly because of the high standard of the film, the director Kimberly Pierce spent years of preparation and data collection, and the heroine Hilary Swank's natural performance, all let Movies are powerful.

On the other hand, the uproar caused by the adaptation incident at that time was the key to the film's eligibility for special reports.

For example, "Fight Club" can't do that.

In fact, the publicity team wished that the journalists would not pay attention to "Fight Club", because their reports would often be "a company executive imitated the movie to establish a fight club", "a high school caused vicious violence after watching the movie". event" and so on.

For God's sake, this movie is ill-fated enough, why does anyone always refuse to let it go?

"In short, I arranged for a reporter to do a special report. When the report comes out, those film critics will walk into the cinema by themselves without our invitation."

Josie couldn't help but frowned when she put down her phone. When she heard footsteps behind her, she asked without turning her head, "Kelly, can you give me a pen and paper? I've come up with a good idea... Thank you .”

She quickly wrote a few names and key words on the paper towel she handed over with a pen, and was about to hand it over to "Kelly" for processing, when she looked up and found someone else standing beside her.

"If you want to find Miss Wilson, she took Mr. Gao out 2 minutes ago—they seem to have had a quarrel." Jim thoughtfully explained why he was here, "You seemed very focused just now, I I really can't bear to bother you."

quarrel?

Kelly isn't the overly mean character, and if she can't help getting angry, then Ryan must have done something wrong.

Sure enough, not long after, Kelly offered to fire Ryan.

"His work attitude will not be mentioned for the time being, but Willa McPherson of "Now" received a report, followed the clues and found his post on the forum. Although you were not mentioned by name, there were many Netizens are already speculating about who his employer is an A-list actress whose private life is extravagant and chaotic."

Kelly explained the ins and outs clearly with a cold face, and then told Josie: "Your publicist Eve Price asked someone to delete the post as soon as possible, and kept the evidence and sent her assistant to San Francisco. We will stay in the same hotel, maybe you have time to meet Melody in the evening."

She is in a very bad mood now, because Ryan Gao is the assistant candidate she strongly recommends to her boss, but no one thinks that a boy who looks like a nerd, who shows a completely dramatic personality on the Internet, enjoys those The pursuit of netizens.

The only lucky thing is that Ryan still remembered that he had already signed a non-disclosure agreement before he got the job. He didn't dare to break the news on the forum, but added some "artistic processing" elements in the post.

But the unfortunate reason is also here.

Kelly read the printed forum posts before looking for Josie. Ryan described their employer as a pleasure-loving, spoiled little girl, who was even dubbed "Miss Pride" by those netizens.

Many people speculated about the real identity of the so-called employer, and the main suspects were the three actresses Winona Ryder, Gwyneth Paltrow and Josie Horton.

This is really because there are not many actresses in Hollywood who meet the two keywords of "young" and "elegant temperament". What's more, Ryan's sense of superiority between the lines proves that his employer is rightly popular.

Josie didn't feel much, and simply told Kelly: "Then fire him. Don't forget to call my lawyer and ask him to find someone to give Mr. Gao a legal education, and bring those copies with him. "

"Okay." Kelly nodded, ready to call the office.

"Wait—" Josie stopped her, and said suddenly, "I remember that he used to have a good personality, not the high-profile and vain type. Remember to ask him why he thought of posting on the forum."

Kelly replied: "I asked, the post was his own whim, mainly because he was dumped by his ex-girlfriend, his original intention was just to complain about his work and life, and later found that many people were very interested in his work , he said something half-truth and half-truth."

This kind of obedient card from a middle-class family often degenerates faster and more thoroughly than the lower-level people.

In the beginning, he was just taken by his new girlfriend to go clubbing every night. As Josie Horton's assistant, Ryan can book the hottest restaurants under the employer's name, and go to every nightclub in the city at will... even Rodeo The avenues are given preferential treatment, and the latest high-end fashions are placed in a separate VIP room for people to choose, even if they won't buy a single piece.

After the young actor with a clear goal realized that Ryan was just a dispensable little assistant, she could neither arrange for her to join the crew, nor dared to take her to see Josie Horton's cloakroom, so she broke up mercilessly leave.

But Ryan seemed to suddenly understand the "power" he should have.

Josie frowned slightly, and said: "I don't want this name to bother me anymore, let's clean up the matter. In addition, I promised Lucy to go back to Los Angeles for this year's Halloween party, so you can contact Vera and Mi Cher nails the theme and styling."

"Okay." Kelly recorded it on her mobile phone as she spoke, and did not forget to remind, "By the way, boss, Halloween is Mr. Stewart's birthday, and the gift you prepared has been wrapped and placed in the hotel safe. It's just that I'm not sure if I want to book a restaurant."

If they were going to have dinner, there would obviously be some conflict with the timing of the party.

With no resources to spare, Qiao Qian decisively chose to work.

This does not mean that Jim is unattractive to her. On the one hand, the relationship between them has not reached the level of a single holiday, and on the other hand, she always believes that love is just a spice of life, not a necessity.

The crew's first day of filming arrived.

"Like Paradise" was mainly filmed in downtown San Francisco and Carmel, a small town about [-] miles south of the downtown area. The latter is a seaside town near Seventeen Mile Road, a famous tourist attraction on the West Bank. About two hours drive.

They will first shoot in a hospital in the city, then shoot in the city, and finally shoot the love scene of the hero and heroine in Carmel.

That morning, the extraordinarily handsome Jim walked over to Josie's side, with a refreshing smile on his face, "Good morning, ladies, would you like to have your first cup of coffee in the morning?"

This Italian man grew a short beard that covered most of his face some time ago. He just shaved his face in the morning. He is impeccably handsome at the moment. Greetings from all.

The female staff members in the room had already been fascinated, and Josie, who was putting on makeup, was also shaken by this smile, "Good morning, my handsome gentleman, you can tell by our reaction, no one here is willing to Deny an Apollo."

"Apollo? This is the second most touching compliment I've ever heard." While distributing the coffee in his hand, Jim exchanged a look with Josie in the mirror.

Josie raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then what is the most touching thing?"

"'My Mr. Handsome'." Jim put a cup of hot cocoa on the table in front of Josie and looked at her in the mirror. "My beauty, my Miss Ghost? Why did I just find out now that the original noun was added A prefix like 'my' can easily become unbelievably romantic."

"Thank you for your drink, Mr. Sweet Talk." Josie laughed, and told her assistant, "Dear Kelly, please let people try our good food. There must be no need to add sugar."

"Good boss." Kelly smiled and poured Jim a cup of scented tea. The rich aroma of roses mixed with the sweetness of fruits was very popular among the ladies here.

"Great, I believe no matter what it is, your smiles are sweet enough-oh, I have to say, it's fragrant." Jim took the scented tea, drank it without changing his face, and did not forget to praise , and then got down to business: "Here, the new Feiye, a kiss scene was removed during filming later, here are the specific changes."

He handed Josie the new script, and when Josie looked down, he asked again, "What do you think?"

"They finally gave up paying homage to Sleeping Beauty?" Josie asked without raising her head.

In the original novel, the male protagonist strokes the female protagonist's forehead and hair, and then the sleeping female protagonist wakes up.

Apparently, the screenwriters think that this method lacks dramatic and romantic effects, and the film company always hopes to add more eye-catching scenes in the finished film.

"Yes."

"I think I can try it."

"That's great."
