[US Entertainment] Best Director

Jerry accepted Valentino's endorsement for Prairie, not an audition, not an invitation, but a real three-year global endorsement invitation.

"Zuo Fandi invited me? Who is he?"

"Valentino's new head, maybe you've heard his full name—Giovandi Valentino?"

"In fact, before you said the name, I always thought that the boss of Valentino was the current design director Modi."

Jerry raised an eyebrow. "I always thought he was the boss of Valentino until Modi called and told me about it."

Prairie was silent for a moment.

"I read the contract. It's really good. 1200 million for three years, which is seven-ninths of Anne Hathaway's." Jerry said.

200 million in three years is indeed not low, and it can even be considered "excellent", but Prairius doesn't think it is a good idea to accept the endorsement of "Valentino" and become a Valentino girl. She has been tricked by all-pervasive cameras. She was exhausted, and she hoped that her life could return to the original life that a director should have as much as possible.

"This is a rare opportunity, Reith." Before Praris could refuse, Jerry added.

It is indeed a rare opportunity.

Pryris couldn't deny that. 1200 million for three years, an ordinary Hollywood director’s salary for a movie is only 75 to 150, and 1200 million can even become the salary of an ordinary director for ten years.

After thinking for a long time, Prairis said.

"let me think again."

Hang up.

The car has also reached its destination.

Prairis and Eddie got out of the car.

This party was hosted by a well-known Jewish film critic, Megan Howard. Apart from this year's award winners, almost all the participants were Jewish committee members of the academy.

As soon as Pryris entered the door, she saw the Jewish actress Natalie Portman talking and laughing among the Jewish committee members. She has an Olympic film called "Black Swan" released in the second half of this year, and her Jewish Status is her biggest trump card in Hollywood.Hollywood is dominated by Jews. Among the 8000 academy committee members, nearly 5000 are Eastern European Jewish committee members, and most of them are from Hungary. belong.

Weinstein did not come today. He brought Paul to the lunch meeting of another Austrian commissioner at the same time.

Prairius slipped his arm into Eddie's and walked in.

It wasn't the first time Prairis had attended such a party, but it was the first time he was alone without a public relations executive.

Unlike the year before last when he brought "Letters from Iwo Jima" to this kind of banquet, Prairis has already become one of the top European directors, and he already has a Cesar Award that symbolizes the pinnacle of French film art and a newly released film. Golden Lion Award, although she is not well-known in Hollywood, but she has a little communication with Hollywood actors, and she even counts as friends with Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and other top Hollywood celebrities, and won the DC The latest movie "Green Lantern" and the Oscar this time have also received twelve nominations. Even if she is nothing in Hollywood now, but following this momentum, it is only a matter of time before she becomes a first-line director in Hollywood.

As soon as he entered the hall, those young actors who had sneaked into the banquet to seek opportunities all rushed up with their eyes shining.

Some Prairis have seen it on the big screen in previous lives, and some are completely unfamiliar.

"Hi, Director Klander." The actors greeted warmly.

Praris smiled and nodded at them.

One of the little blond girls caught Prairis' attention, but she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was standing in the crowd watching her in a white dress.

Seeming to be a little familiar, Praris deliberately took a few more glances.

"She's Saoirse Ronan, I saw her at the London Film Society," Eddie said.

Saoirse Ronan?

That child star, Saoirse Ronan, who was nominated for three Oscars at the age of 24?

Preris took a second look, and sure enough, it was somewhat similar to the Saoirse Ronan in his memory.

The most impressive thing about Prairis is her Olympic work "Miss Bird" in 2017. In fact, 2017 is a year of Oscars. Many excellent works will come out one after another in 2017. "Miss Bird" Among the Oscar-nominated works this year, it is not particularly impressive for Prairie. Compared with "Miss Bird", she prefers "Three Billboards", which inherits the true biography of the Coen brothers, but there is no denying , in "Lady Bird", Saoirse Ronan's performance really made Prairie's eyes shine.

Considered it.

If she remembers correctly, Saoirse should have starred in a low-budget movie called "The Lovely Bones" this year, and it was such a movie that made Saoirse completely enter the eyes of Hollywood directors.

Under Saoirse's anxious eyes, Prairis approached with a smile, bent down, and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Miss Ronan."

Everyone looked at Saoirse with envy, not understanding why such a young child would win the favor of Prairis.

Saoirse herself didn't understand, she just listened to director Jackson's words and waited at the door, saying that she might get the attention of some great director, but she never imagined that one day this big gift package would really hit her head superior.

There are too many actors here, many of them have acted in many movies and are famous, but she is just a child.

How can a great director recognize a child in this kind of banquet?

So Saoirse was dumbfounded until Prairis walked up to her and held out her hand.

Prairie Clander.

Of course she knew her.

——The one who made "Sagan", that European myth!

Saoirse stared blankly at Prairie, unable to believe that she was the lucky one chosen by this famous European director.

After a long time, I belatedly attached my hand to Prairis's outstretched hand.

said blushing.

"Saoirse. My name is Saoirse."

She looked up at her.

It seems to have a special magical power, and unconsciously say "Can I act in your movie?"

After speaking, Saoirse regretted it.Ears become red.lowered his head.

Just when she thought she would laugh at her childishness and leave, she heard the hot director speak to her in a soft voice.

"I've seen your movies. Whether it's The Lovely Bones or Atonement.

You're growing, Saoirse, I can see that.But this is not enough.

What I want is perfection.

The day you do it, I will personally invite you to be my heroine. "

After speaking, Prairis took out a business card from his bag and put it in Saoirse's hand.

Rubbing Saoirse's head, Prairius and Eddie walked into the banquet hall.

Saoirse stared blankly at the business card in her hand, what did she just say?heroine?

**

Prairis took Eddie to the interior of the banquet.

There are mostly familiar faces along the way.

Most of them have been seen in Weinstein's rounds in the past month and a half.

When Megan Howard appeared in front of Prairis, Prairis froze for a moment, only to realize that she was the strange woman who threatened to fully support her at another banquet a few days ago.

"I will fully support you, Director Klander." Megan Howard smiled and introduced Praris to the academy committee member of her party department.

Jewish cliques have been evident since World War II, and this is especially evident in Hollywood's 5000/8000 ratio.

After Megan's introduction, Pryris got to know many unfamiliar committee members, some of whom are even over 90 years old, and they have been in the film industry for more than 60 years.

When they saw Praris, they made a straightforward statement.

"Your film's initial investment is only 280 million. According to Hollywood's clear definition of assets, 300-3000 is a low-cost movie, and below 300 million can hardly be called a 'Hollywood movie'. Your investment is only 280. This is your advantage. It’s also a disadvantage, depending on how you operate.”

After saying this, combined with the memories of his previous life, Prairis instantly understood what they meant.

A Hollywood movie below 300 million is not considered a Hollywood movie, but it is not necessarily true when it comes to political correctness. Just like the 17 Oscar's best picture "Moonlight" with an investment of less than 300 million, it is not enough to be called a Hollywood movie, let alone from "Love "City of Lost" grabbed the title of best picture, but it did it, not only did it, but also made a beautiful turnaround. There is no other reason. "has directly affected the voting willingness of the college committee members this year.

Now her "Approaching Iraq" is also a non-Hollywood film with a cost of less than 300 million. If she wants to win the final victory, she can only choose the direction of public relations based on the characteristics of the film itself. Of course, the direction of public relations here does not refer to " "Moonlight Boy" adopts a skin color strategy, but a "stance".

"Approaching Iraq" is an anti-war film. Although it does not intend to mention the two regimes, it is undeniable that this is an unjust war launched by the United States.

Combined with more than 95% of Hollywood's Democratic supporters, it is not difficult for Prairis to figure out what the commissioners mean.

In fact, she had expected it a long time ago, and even thought about it when she chose the theme of this movie. After all, "putting the blame on the Republican Party" has always been a common practice in Hollywood.

Meryl Streep satirized the Golden Globes positively in order to cater to the Hollywood Democrats at the Oscars in public relations. What can she not do?

After all, "political correctness" has always been the rule of the game in Hollywood.

Pryris nodded, pursing the corners of her lips.

"I will think about it."
