[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 89

"Congratulations, it's really an excellent movie." Keanu Reeves stood up and applauded with the audience, while offering his blessings in a fair manner.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis. May I ask what it is like to have a girlfriend whose acting skills are better than his own?Is there a crash course in acting?

Don't wait until Eve starts competing for the Olympics, and she is criticized by the media and film critics for facial paralysis.

Feng Shui turns, women used to be called vases, and now Keanu is worried about being called vases himself.He secretly made up his mind that he must think carefully about the characters in "Almost Famous" when he goes back, and strive to be evenly matched when performing.

It would be really embarrassing to be suppressed by Eve during the rivalry!

Just watching a movie, Keanu's mentality has undergone tremendous changes. There are still 20 days before New Year's Day, and he can learn from the legendary Sandy Kominski, and he still has a chance to turn himself around.

Eve was naturally elated at the moment. After she turned her head to thank Keanu, she immediately hugged the actors and staff in the crew and enjoyed the applause from the audience. This is the honor the crew members deserve.

James Mangold patted the backs of several actresses, and praised: "You all acted very well, and the success of the movie is inseparable from your work. Now let's thank the audience together."

At the director's suggestion, the actors who attended the premiere stood in a row, waved and bowed to the audience, thanking them for their love.

It's just that everyone's subtle expressions are a little different. Winona, the heroine and producer of the movie, is obviously smirking, and there is no trace of a smile in her eyes.

It's impossible for anyone to laugh.

The movie that took four years of painstaking efforts turned out to be a wedding dress for someone else. The heroine in a role can be regarded as a kind of performance without merit. Considering that she has been nominated for Oscar twice, film art and It is impossible for the members of the Academy of Sciences to vote for an actor whose acting skills are rather conservative.

Winona herself feels that the quality of the finished film is weak, far less excellent than that of "Little Women", and it is too difficult to impress a certain kind of judges.

After the protagonist of the movie is weaker, correspondingly speaking, the performance space of supporting roles is much larger.Eve doesn't have many roles, but they are all key scenes, and the death is even more impressive.Julie has many roles and acts well, and she is the strongest in the limelight.Whoopi Goldberg's acting skills are above the level, Jared Leto's boyfriend is also online, and even the underage Elizabeth is remarkable.

As a producer, Winona is a little bit relieved, at least the film is not useless, there are still many bright spots, but it is just that the Oscar heroine has no chance.

Angelina Jolie itself is much taller than Winona, and now with the spring breeze on her face, the starlight is far inferior to Winona, but her aura seems to be almost the same.

Almost none of the audience left the stage. Everyone was waiting for the interview with the crew. The reporters had already started shooting with their cameras.

Both the media and the audience wanted to ask a lot of questions. Right now, the main creators were standing under the big screen, and the audience raised their hands in unison, wanting to get the microphone.

The staff in the screening hall did not expect that so many people wanted to inquire about this movie, so they handed it over to a reporter from a major newspaper.

"Good evening, everyone. I'm a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. I want to ask what is the theme of the movie "The Girl Who Moved"? Why did you want to make this movie?"

James Mangold thought for a while and explained: "In my opinion, this movie mainly tells a process of growing up, telling the story of Suzanne's re-feeling and enjoying life. The reason for making the movie is very simple. Ms. Suzanne Kaysen's autobiographical novel is very attractive. Mental health is not only an issue for 60s youth, it is also very important now. I hope it can bring some inspiration to the audience."

A woman with a notebook and pen then asked, "I would like to ask Ms. Suzanne, what do you think of this movie?"

"The Girl Who Moved Soul" is a novel written by Suzanne Kaysen. Today, she also attended the premiere with gray hair. She was a little surprised after being named by accident.Although she is over [-] years old, she is still in good spirits. She took the microphone handed over by the staff and said with a smile: "Obviously, this is a very good movie. God, I really hope that when I was young, I could have Vivi Nona is such a beauty."

The audience, film critics and reporters in the screening hall were all amused by the old lady's humor.

"Although the script has been changed, I think the movie is very good, and their performances are so wonderful, I thought I was back to my youth."

The following interviews mainly focused on the director and lead actor Winona. Even if her acting skills were not able to show 100%, who made her the star among the actors, not to mention her ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp The scandal and current boyfriend Matt Damon were present.

Unknowingly, the premiere ended with the last applause from the audience.

Keanu wants to chat with Eve more, but he can only leave in batches first. It is impossible to let Eve get in his car directly, that is to directly expose the relationship between the two.

Maybe she really gained a little bit of fame, and someone took a few photos with a camera when she got in the car, and there were several celebrities beside her.

Others have to go to the premiere party to indulge in booze, but Eve can only go home to take off her makeup and rest, because she has to film "Mulholland Drive" tomorrow. It's a mess and will be scolded bloody by David Lynch!

Eve was in a good mood in the car. Looking at her manager's serious expression, she couldn't help asking curiously, "Isn't this movie not good enough?"

Robert sighed while driving: "It's a good movie, but it's still some distance away from the Oscars. I'm afraid that in the awards season, this movie won't gain much, and the pressure to pay back will be heavy." "That's not what I should consider." The movie has already been filmed, and the next step is to watch Columbia's own promotion and release." Eve took it very seriously, and the loss or profit of the movie has nothing to do with her as the female number three.

"Actually, your performance is very good. I personally think that there is a chance to get some nominations this year, but basically I missed the awards. Because there is a supporting actress in your movie who is better than you. If you can get it, then she must It's better to take."

Robert didn't name who it was, but Eve and Mandy knew it.

With Angelina Jolie here, unless the best supporting actress is awarded with double yolk eggs, it will not be Eve's turn.Of course, it is also possible that both of them will fail, and after the votes are divided, neither will be eligible for the award.

There are many, many double mentions of the same film in the history of Hollywood, but most of the time they are fruitless.Both the production company and the distribution company will try their best to avoid this situation from happening. Once the votes are divided, some actors may even be nominated.

For these film companies, competing for the Olympics is actually just a means, and the real purpose is for the box office and subsequent profits!If the film can successfully get an Oscar nomination, then there is no need to worry about North American box office revenue, and even overseas box office can be greatly improved.

DVD sales could double, with TV-on-demand showings priced at several times the price of an unnamed film.

The production company and the distribution company want the film to be nominated as much as possible. If there is a vote split situation that will make both of them lose, then they don't split the votes at all and just push one person.

Another actor in the same film wants to get Otti, so he has to pay for it and do public relations, otherwise he will be submerged in the sea of ​​films.

Robert knew very well in his heart that Columbia Pictures would definitely protect Jilina Jolie's supporting actress nomination. Unless the film critics and audiences reacted strongly, Eve would be the one who was given up!

Oscar compares dozens of hundreds of films that are completely different, which is very subjective and accidental, and it is difficult to be convinced.Many companies participate in the award season with the mentality that they know that they may not win the award, otherwise they will be too worried.

"It's a pity that you just bought a villa in debt, otherwise I would have wanted you to join the battle. You have no money to hire a public relations team, and you have no money to buy clothes."

For the Olympics, the most direct public relations method is actually marketing and lobbying, and the other methods are much less effective.

Marketing is to send related materials of the movie directly to the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, not just a copy of the movie, but more in fact, some accessories.

For example, Columbia Pictures hired a team of consultants, prepared to present Daisy's gramophone to the members of the Academy, and rented theaters and hotels to hold screenings, parties, and so on.Let people with voting rights have access to movies as much as possible. It doesn't matter whether you watch it or not. You must know the name of the movie and its high quality and reputation.

Every award season, the members of the academy have countless dvds of popular movies, corresponding promotional materials, and souvenirs, and many dvds have never been watched at all.

Winning awards at major awards is actually the lowest-cost form of public relations. Media such as "Variety Show", "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times", "Washington Post", "New York Times" and other media will publish advertisements for awards season movies .

At the same time, these media will also take the initiative to invite the popular seed players of the awards season to participate in the round table discussion, including but not limited to actors, actresses, directors and so on.

Eve sighed: "Poverty is the original sin. Without money, we can't even hire a PR manager. I hope it will be better next year. If "Almost Famous" is released next year, if I perform normally, I should push it?"

"I thought of a good way. Your next film happens to be an Olympic film for Columbia Pictures. See if you can get them to add you to the second row, so as not to snatch Angelina's Oscar nomination resources. Just use "The Girl Who Moved Soul" will help you get a few nominations from the Film Critics Association, so that your foundation will not be unstable next year."

Robert said cheerfully, if the requirements were lowered, the goal would be nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Supporting Female, presumably Columbia Pictures would still have to give this ability and face.

One more Golden Globe nomination is also good for the film's popularity and box office.

"You're such a genius!" Eve praised with a thumbs up, "Next, you'll have to work hard to lobby Columbia Pictures."

"No hard work, this is what my agent should do."

Robert has always felt that he is a buried talent, and now he has finally found a chance to prove himself, and he must do this well!
