[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Could it be that this is the charm of movies?

Or does this charm belong to that Hollywood star named "Josie Horton"?

In any case, young Mr. Josh Jones can't understand it yet, but Hollywood critics know it well: a new American sweetheart is being born.

Famous film critic Roger Ebert gave "Leadership" a three-and-a-half-star thumbs up, and his partner, Gene Siskel, another film critic of the "Chicago Tribune," said: "I am very impressed with "Leadership." "Leading the Show" was amazed at how interesting it was. Amy Heckling once again contributed an excellent youth school comedy to the audience after her famous work "The Open American School". The role of Josie Horton is just like that Like Phoebe Cates in a red bikini, she will leave a mark on Hollywood movies that cannot be ignored."

"Newsweek" film critic John Leland wrote directly in his column: "This is the most appealing movie about teenagers this summer!"

"Variety Show" changed its previous indifference to the film "Leading the Coquettish", and its film critic Brian Lowry spoke enthusiastically: "This is a fresh, fascinating youth comedy, it is very funny, Maybe it will inspire you to go shopping, just like the heroine."

Jonathan Rosenbaum, a film critic of the "Chicago Reader", who has always been picky, also said: "Although some parts are not well done, it can't hide the fact that this movie is light and interesting. Good group drama, unique heroine, outline Out of high school campus sentient beings."

David Danby of "New York Magazine" commented: "This is a very interesting movie. It is worth mentioning that the perfect fit between Josie Horton and the heroine Cher makes this role attractive. Her strength is immeasurable, her pure and sweet personality and the scenes of her trying to seduce others in the movie are absolutely amazing!"

"Amy Heckerling's modern interpretation of Jane Austen's "Emma" is very good, and the viewing experience of the film from the beginning to the end is generally pleasant." The New York Times, which claims to give some color to the blonde silly girl "The film critic Vincent Canby has no shortage of praise, "However, it is a pity that this film could have been done better to make it less pleasing to the audience. After all, it has such an amazing personality. Fascinating heroine, no?"

In addition to the good reviews of the film, there are expected bad reviews, but maybe Paramount's public relations are in place, or maybe this chick movie is really well shot, and there are no particularly strong negative reviews.

"Entertainment Weekly" film critic Owen Gleiberman believes: "The wonderfulness of this film is the opposite of the empty core that people originally thought. It is like a good advertisement, reflecting the general life of American teenagers today. What a big deal."

Louise Menan of The New York Review of Books was full of praise for the lead actress: "Josie Horton is a fine actress who can play any role, and she deserves a less silly movie. There's no question that this It will be her worst."

Overall, this is a very successful film.

The box office in the first week was 1261 million US dollars, closely following the commercial blockbuster "Running Dragon" in the same period. The audience at the premiere scored A-, and many teenagers even gave it A+, saying that they would definitely go again for "Leading the Coquettish" into the cinema.

Such a result made Paramount confident, and at the same time stepped up the promotion of the film, raising its B-level promotion treatment again-in fact, it only got a C-level at the beginning-to an A-level , The investment in publicity and distribution continued to increase.

All of a sudden, the news of the movie "Leading the Show" swept across the board. Josie Horton's iconic sweet smile could be found in almost every movie magazine. People called her the new A generation of American sweethearts, she is not stingy in her praise.

And fashion magazines are also very interested in the phenomenon-level influence caused by "Leading the Coquettish". Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the American version of "Vogue", specially invited three leading actresses to make a fashion special, "Leading the Coquettish: Campus Fashion Fan's Guide, the name Josie Horton was first associated with I.TGirl because any similar styles they wore in the film were sold out.

Plaid skirts, tea break skirts, short tops and wide-leg jeans, Mary Jane shoes, Locke shoes and white sneakers, retro-style headwear and lipstick colors, as long as they are worn on Josie Horton, this [-] item sold completely like crazy!

"It's amazing!"

"You really did it, Josie!"

In the Marmont Manor Hotel in West Hollywood, Josie and her two managers stood on the balcony on the second floor, each holding a bottle of champagne.

The celebration party held by Paramount downstairs came to an end, and the celebration of their small team had just begun.

"No, we succeeded." Josie raised the champagne in her hand towards Martha and Archie, "To future superstar Josie Horton—"

Martha raised her red lips and narrowed her eyes slightly: "To Martha Miller, the manager of the future superstar—"

Archie shrugged and said helplessly, "Uh, what about my lines? Well, to our talented team of future Hollywood superstars—"

"cheers!"

Josie raised her head and drank the champagne in the glass in one gulp, with a big smile on her young face, because she did achieve the first step she wanted to make in Hollywood, even more successful than she imagined , even though it took her almost a year and a half.

That's surprisingly fast for Hollywood.

This is totally an overnight success myth happening right now!

The rapid fame brought flowers, applause, money, even friendship...all came for her, as long as she wanted, she seemed to be able to get anything.

Regrettably, this is just an illusion that every overnight star has experienced.

It seems that the scenery is infinite, but it is actually a mirage. After a slight push, the rootless illusion will collapse.

For example, Josie wants to meet James Cameron to talk about the heroine of his new movie. At present, she can only call the assistant to make an appointment, and she may not be able to meet her.

However, compared to before the release of "Leading the Coquettish", she has indeed reached the sky in one step. Most roles in Hollywood that do not require acting skills are allowed to be chosen by her, and roles that require a little bit of acting skills can also be directly auditioned by her.

Hollywood opened up to her seemingly overnight, the movie gods kissed her on the forehead, and most of the people here learned to smile politely and say "hi" to her.

Countless commercial invitations and audition invitations poured in.

And that's exactly what a new generation of American sweethearts are doing.

Columbia even offered a high price of 1000 million US dollars for three films, and the treatment of helping her set up a production company, so as to dig Josie into its banner.

——Oh, the notebooks are really rich. You must know that Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates made a film "Scars of Tears", and the film salary is only about 100 million US dollars.

It's a pity that Josie doesn't need to worry about money for the time being.

Although "Leadership" is still in theaters, the reward checks prepared by Paramount for the main creators have already been mailed to them, and Josie has received a total of 100 million US dollars. It seems that Shirley Lansing has spent all her money this time.

However, forming a production company is a good idea.

Josie put down the glass, "Okay, the celebration is over here, now, let's talk about our next work."

After she finished speaking, she took the lead in walking to the living room of the suite.

Martha followed closely behind, the trace of drunkenness no longer visible on her face.

Archie paused for a moment, unable to follow the footsteps of the two ladies. He felt that he hadn't recovered from the brief carnival just now.

"Archie, I need a production company. I know Hollywood is full of professionals who can do this kind of small workshop. Find one for me." Josie spoke quickly, apparently she had already made up her mind, and her agent Just act together. "Martha, I remember asking you to pay attention to the development of James Cameron's next work. I want to know how the recent situation is."

Martha can answer directly without digging out the memo: "Fox has already established a project, and they have invested 7500 million US dollars to produce the disaster movie that James Cameron wanted, but everyone knows that the money is not enough for Cameron, because it is only the early stage. He has already spent millions diving into the deep sea to find the wreck.”

"But it doesn't matter. Last year's "True Lies" was a smash hit. With an investment of [-] million US dollars, the global box office totaled nearly [-] million US dollars. At least for now, Fox still trusts James Cameron."

Josie complained silently: Where did she go?

I just don't know if they will continue to trust James Cameron when they find out that even half of the film has not been filmed for the 7500 million yuan.

Anyway, in her impression, the actual cost of the film was as high as [-] million U.S. dollars, and Fox executives were ready to jump off the building before the film's release because of Cameron's constant demands for additional investment.

Even Fox Corporation almost went bankrupt because of this, and Cameron himself was on the verge of collapse, sticking a suicide blade in front of the screen in the editing room at any time.

Fortunately, the big ship did not sink in the end, but overturned the huge waves all the way, and became Cameron's king of the world on the Oscar stage.

Josie asked again, "What about the role audition?"

"No news has come out. I think the role audition will not start so soon this time. James Cameron is still busy diving and building ships." Martha replied, "You can focus on credits for the time being, if I don’t plan to take another movie in the second half of the year.”

Josie rubbed her forehead and said, "Don't mention it, going to school is a disaster."

Those crazy teens are basically her fans, even if some girls used to dislike her, what, what about Ashley? Emmm, obviously school comedies are more popular with students than commercial blockbusters, at least that's the result of the comparison between "Leadership" and "Running Dragon".

Among teenagers, the former is the trending movie about them, while the latter is judged as uninteresting and uncool.

It can be said that going to Santa Monica Middle School, she has to smile her face hard - for this, Brittany thinks that her current idol is too burdened and tired.

So in this case, Josie has no way to earn credits properly.

Archie suggested, "Maybe, you can donate some money to your school, Josie, and your principal will be happy to help you with early graduation."

"..." Josie was silent for a moment, and asked, "How much?"

Archie thought for a while, and replied: "Given your current net worth, I think $[-] is an appropriate figure. Donate through charities, and there are certain tax rebate benefits."

Josie pursed her mouth and said with a little annoyance, "Okay, just [-], I'll leave it to you."

Although she likes money, she also knows that sometimes some money has to be spent, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the future.

Archie nodded: "No problem."

Josie rubbed her face, quickly pulled herself together and said, "Let's leave it like this for the time being, but Martha, remember to pay attention to "Rampaging Hidden Dragon", we are real opponents now, and no one will let go." If I were them, I would stop at nothing to ruin 'America's Sweethearts', and I can totally guess how they're going to discredit me and my movie."

Yes.

Before this, no one thought that the sequel of a blockbuster movie, a commercial blockbuster with an investment of 6000 million US dollars, would be blocked from the box office by a worthless chick movie.

Maybe it's because people are finally tired of watching Steven Seagal's deadpan face, or maybe it's because Josie Horton is really lovable. superior.

Because none of them can kill anyone, they are all the hottest movies this summer, and even the weekly box office champions come in rotation.

But such a result is already an unbearable failure for "Running Dragon", or action star Steven Seagal.

Some celebrate, some are angry.

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, a whiskey glass was slammed into the corner of the wall, making a crisp shattering sound.

Steven Seagal let out a sigh of relief, turned to his agent, and said, "I don't care what method you use, next week I don't want to see that shit chick movie appear in the top box office box office." position!"

"But, Steven..."

"No but!" Steven Seagal said loudly: "Tell Warner, if they don't want to contribute, don't think about my third episode of the movie!"

Ashley Mills, who was standing by, seemed terrified, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "Mr. Siegel, I know something that might help us."

Steven Seagal immediately said: "Tell me!"

"Josie Horton, the heroine of that movie, we used to be friends," Ashley said. "She used to write to me saying that girls' school on the Upper East Side was hell, and one of her The classmates helped her a lot, so they..."

"Hell? That's funny, what kind of help?" Steven Seagal asked.

"Kindly, blasphemy, I guess." Ashley looked uncertain, "and she's now living with the lead actress from that movie, which is weird isn't it?"

Steven Seagal sneered, "Very well, they're finished."

The author has something to say: It’s so cold today, I want to chime in.
