Movie Master

I loved the movie, in fact, I liked it a lot. I think, I'm going to re-enter the theater tomorrow and watch it a second time.

This is Lance's comment after watching the movie, and his love for the movie is revealed between the lines. But the seriousness and weirdness between Lance's eyebrows is lingering, which aroused the imagination of the reporters. Some people speculated that Lance didn't mean it because he didn't like the movie; some people speculated that it might be because of reflection It was too turbulent, and Lance fell into his own thoughts; some people speculated whether Lance was not satisfied with George's directing method. As a director, he could still make a lot of comments, so he wanted to watch it a second time...

These speculations soon appeared on the entertainment pages of the major newspapers the next day. It seemed that there were flowers and flowers, but in fact the real focus was good night and good luck. It can be seen that as long as any topic has anything to do with this movie, it will immediately become hot, even Hard Candy and Lance have to take advantage of it.

George Clooney felt a little uneasy at this moment, but he couldn't tell why. He called Lance last night, but Lance didn't answer, and even Percy didn't answer the phone. This situation is really abnormal; but looking at today's news content, it seems that he is thinking too much, after all Good night and good luck was also a creation that Lance spent a lot of time on. After watching the movie, Lance will definitely need to meditate. But what is this uneasy feeling?

George, what's wrong with you? You look restless. Barry Meyer, who was sitting across from him, put down his coffee cup, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, as if mocking George's trance. Barry's eyes fell on the newspaper, Hehe, you're not worried about Lance's comments, are you?

George raised his eyes to look at Barry. Barry knew a little about his relationship with Lance. After all, he was still willing to make friends with Barry even though Barry and Lance were in a stalemate, which showed something. However, Barry does not know the specific reason, and the secret of good night and good luck will be buried in the grave with him.

I mean, he's just a megalomaniac who never gets enough, like the whole world revolves around him. Even when things are perfect, he can say something against it, you know that kind of guy. There was a trace of disdain in Barry's eyes. Even Woody Allen was not so arrogant. Those who can really survive in this circle are smart people. They know when to be tough and when to compromise, but Lance obviously It's just a fledgling little boy who still has dreams in his arms and does things entirely on his own will. So, believe me, even if your work is great, he's bound to be able to criticize a hundred flaws. Maybe he's typing out a list right now and sorting out which ones he can tell you and which ones he can tell the media. .”

Ha. George was amused by Barry's words, and shook his head lightly, He's smarter than you think. Otherwise, Diorama Pictures wouldn't have disappeared in a short period of time.

There are a lot of smart people in Hollywood. Barry said meaningfully, but it is not enough to be smart if you want to survive.

George just smiled and said nothing. Barry slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it slowly, I don't know what you're worried about, but I can be sure that it's unnecessary. Tell me, an awards season work that won a movie review It has won the attention of the audience, and even the peers in the industry are full of praise. Barry raised his right hand holding the cigarette, and tapped it lightly, Also, don't forget, now half of the United States is standing Behind us. So, what are you worried about?

Even though it's only been screened for two weeks, there's no denying that Good Night and Good Luck is now looking bright for awards season.

George paused, and the gloom between his brows gradually dissipated. He remembered a key point, although Good Night, Good Luck was co-created by him and Lance, but now he has no grip in Lance's hands, and even if Lance wants to fight back, it is already impossible.

On the surface, George's expression still hasn't changed much, but his whole demeanor has returned to a state of complacency, and that kind of vigor slowly emerges from the bottom of his eyes, which cannot be concealed. Barry nodded contentedly, This is Mr. George Clooney we need.

To be honest, Barry has a lot of opinions on George. If George hadn't leaked the news of Mad Max 4 to the media, he wouldn't have been accused at the shareholder meeting recently. Such a humiliating situation has not happened for many years When it arrived, he almost forgot the taste. But personal opinion doesn't matter at all when it comes to the success of Good Night and Good Luck. Now Barry needs George, needs George to win an Oscar for Warner Bros.

Starting next week, our college's public relations will start, are you ready? Barry directly turned to the topic.

Good Night and Good Luck wins an Oscar, which is a good way to revive Warner Bros., who can also shake off the gloom of recent times and take the initiative again; it's still a small step in the plan to crush Lance, He doesn't mind using small tricks to make the Mad Max 4 crew suffer, and he doesn't mind using tricks to increase the chances of Mad Max 4 failing. After that, there are still countless ups and downs waiting for Lan Lance, he'll make sure Lance understands what makes the big studios different.

George pursed his lips, Always prepared. This is what Barry admired most about George. In George, the cunning and elegance of a politician is exactly what Hollywood needs. This is the real wisdom. However, isn't it too early to start now?

Barry shook the ashes, No, of course not. Only for those cowards, it is necessary to start PR from December. Besides, the latest trend is just right for us, isn't it?

George's all-round slickness is a deadly weapon in the college's public relations. Before the public relations started, they have already won the favor of many people in the industry; what's more, there has been a lot of noise about the tapping door recently, and the political field is George's specialty , if they don't make good use of it, they will completely let down the recent mighty momentum.

Originally, October was just the outpost of the award season, and very few awards season works were willing to be released at this time, but now Good Night, Good Luck has come out, and in the absence of a strong competitor, it can almost be said to be a one-man show. dust. Warner Bros. is bound to seize this opportunity to create the most powerful situation for Good Night and Good Luck.

So, what is our goal? George is so familiar with this set that he doesn't need additional guidance at all.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography. Barry has a list at his fingertips, which is enough to see their ambitions, By the way, I know you Soon there will be another work to be released...

'Cyrina'. George gave an affirmative answer.

I heard that the response from the internal test screening was good. The overall quality is not heavy enough, but it can hit the best supporting actor and best original screenplay. Will there be conflicts then? Barry needs to grasp the overall situation.

George didn't intend to respond directly, and shrugged, I haven't seen the finished movie either. Don't we know when the movie is released? If possible, he didn't intend to show all his cards to Barry. .

...No problem! Barry's answer was very straightforward, but it seemed to have something to say, Let's focus on ourselves first.

The second week of Good Night, Good Luck was a great success in expanding the scope of screenings. The unanimous praise of film critics and audiences made the film's popularity rise again. Unfortunately, this week's single box office box office of 18,000 US dollars can only be said Quite satisfactory, it seems that Internet hotspots have not really been transformed into box office. However, considering that the cities where the screenings are still limited, they are only screened in the four major cities; and considering that the film itself is not a commercial work that attracts audiences, such results are understandable. People are now waiting for the third week of extended screenings. Can't wait!

The third week of Good Night, Good Luck will be screened on a large scale in 225 theaters across the United States. The audience's feedback information will also truly represent the word-of-mouth of the film, which will play a vital role in the film's prospects during the awards season.

At the same time, George is also taking the pace of actor David Strathairn's official promotion, and it seems that everything is ready to go. Of course, Hard Candy will be screened on a small scale in two theaters in New York this weekend, which is also one of the news, but compared with Good Night, Good Luck, the degree of attention is naturally not comparable .

October 19, 2005, an ordinary Wednesday, nothing special, not the day when the movie premieres on Friday, nor the day when a new week starts on Monday, and it is not the day when the weekend is off, just a day of constant ups and downs Dividing the week into two halves means that people are about to enter the second half of the week, and there are still two days left before the further expansion of Good Night, Good Luck and the screening of Hard Candy.

Early in the morning, George meticulously began to bathe, shave, and choose clothes, because today is the first promotion of Good Night and Good Luck, and he will appear on a radio show to kick off the school's public relations. After getting ready, George left his house in good spirits, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a sea of ​​people in front of him, which really caught George off guard, and then George saw a postman surrounded in the middle, and he didn't know Overwhelmed.

When he saw George, the postman quickly stepped forward and handed over an envelope, Mr. George Clooney? This is your court summons, please sign for it.
