[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

This is the first time she has set foot on such a big awards ceremony.Oscar... this is Oscar.To be able to compete with many seniors here is not an exaggeration to say that the dream has come true.People who didn't care much about their clothes at first also wanted to take this awards ceremony seriously.

When Claire opened the ready-to-wear dress book of a certain brand in her hand, she put down the dress book 10 minutes later, she was so dazzled.She points to several gowns that feel good.The model has blond hair, big eyes, and a devil figure.She had Phillips on staff: "How about I wear these?"

Seeing the model's figure, Phillips was silent for a few seconds, looked up at her, his eyes were full of strange emotions, and then laughed: "Can you wear this? Aren't you against A?"

After Claire understood it, she was so angry that a book was directly pasted on his face, and she gritted her teeth: "Nonsense, damn it!"

"Ah! It hurts..." He felt that his extremely straight nose would be flattened by this slap.

He raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, don't you need to prepare clothes, those are not suitable for you. I will take you to a place, go and order them."

She was worrying about whether she should order the clothes for the day or buy ready-to-wear, and it happened that Phillips gave her the channel.Phillips took Claire to Valentino's headquarters in Los Angeles, and to her surprise, not just to order clothes, but to sign endorsements.

Claire was very curious: "Why did Valentino give me an olive branch?" Valentino's spokespersons always pay attention to style and status.When luxury brands choose celebrities as spokespersons or ambassadors, they are more cautious.Because once an unsuitable spokesperson is selected, it may lower the brand's competitiveness.Therefore, luxury brands are more attracted to celebrities with a strong background, or stars who have been famous for many years and have won awards on the international stage.She felt that she still couldn't reach the level of such a big coffee.How strange.

In contrast, the president of Valentino did not agree. She underestimated the uproar caused by her world's highest box office.In other words, now, her every move affects the hearts of countless bigwigs.

The president said politely: "Your image is in line with our theme for this quarter."

"What subject?"

"The Proud Son of Heaven." This will be the theme of this season to push new products.

The president said: "So we want you to understand the situation and prepare the pre-missions for publicity. If possible, we want to sign the contract as early as possible, so that you can wear the ready-to-wear they prepared for you at the awards ceremony."

After confirming that the contract was correct, Claire signed her name. She will be the spokesperson of the series of Valentino for a period of three years, and the endorsement fee is 1000 million 100 million US dollars.This included a rule that all of Claire's major banquet dresses would be designed only by Valentino's team.It doesn't matter to her that she can only wear formal clothes for the banquet in the future. Someone has prepared clothes that suit her, which means that she doesn't have to worry about it.

The designer team next to it has been waiting for a long time, and time is running out. After receiving the order, they are ready to design the best dress that Valentino will show at the Oscars this time, and it must be the most eye-catching.

Claire is also a good model. The designer Annie felt relieved at once. It is very difficult for such a person to look good in clothes: "Do you have a preliminary idea in mind about the general appearance?"

Claire thought for a while: "Not yet."

Anne's eyes lit up, and Claire's legs, the waistline, and the length of the legs, were even better in real life than in the photos. She took out her preliminary design draft facing the photos: "What do you think?"

Pure hand-painting, three-dimensional painting, a total of dozens of pages of line drawings of the jacket, Claire looked at the suit she pointed out.Sophisticated yet casual.

Claire looked at it and nodded: "Yes."

"Wait, I'll change a few places, and you can take a look." I got a lot of inspiration from real people, and after I finished speaking, I took out various colored leads from my bag and changed them on the spot.

Phillips, who had been sitting by the side, looking at his mobile phone, raised his head with serious eyes, "I have to tell you something."

Makeup artist Anne was drawing a line draft at her desk, and Claire was fascinated by it.

She asked Phillips, "What's the matter?" His tone was so strange.

Phillips: "I just got word that Weinstein is the publicist for 'Million Dollar Baby' this time."

Claire opened her mouth in surprise: "What did you say?" Why is it him again?

Phillips sighs: "His company is involved in the production of this film. You know, that's how he casts his net. Million Dollar Baby is his seed."

I know you are not on good terms with him, so I am more worried that he will do something bad. "

"Is there any way? I don't want to experience his dirty methods." Claire frowned.Splashing dirty water and going through the back door are his tried and tested tricks. Even people like her who don't pay attention to the inner circle have been popularized by the people around him about his "brilliant deeds".

"I heard from Brad that this time Harvey hired a lot of writers to overcome the media aspect. Brad spent a lot of effort to suppress the news that appeared in the "New Yorker" a few days ago before the release. Publish dirty material about Ghost in the Shell."

She was a little strange: "What's the black stuff?"

"Actually, what the production crew most wanted was an R-rated movie. R-rated movies are restricted, and children under the age of 17 must be accompanied by their parents. As a result, it turned out to be an R-rated movie.

However, this release lists a lot of shots, they pointed out many "naked shots" of the heroine and various bag shots, pointed out that this kind of shot is misguided for teenagers, and strongly requested to change the classification to NC-17 Grade-rated movies, that is, children under the age of 17 are not allowed to watch. "

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an unfounded excuse by Weinstein. In NC-17 movies, there will be a lot of scenes of sexual situations, and there will be scenes of smoking unhealthy things, as well as a lot of scenes of violence and a lot of dirty words. Children under the age of 17 should avoid watching them.However, it is enough for Ghost in the Shell to be rated R, and it is not convincing to insist on changing it to NC-17.

However, what is unexpected is that this time Harvey submitted the report directly to the CPS, the Child Protection Society.

Even though CPS refuted the report, Harvey's recent PR cyberattack was enough to make them drink a pot.When it comes to this kind of thing, preconceived ideas are enough to make many judges who have not watched the film feel disgusted.

Phillips was a little fortunate that this incident did not affect Ghost in the Shell.

He added: "Fortunately, this time Paramount is still reliable, and suppressed these drafts first. As far as I know, but this time, Martin suffered a disaster."

"what happened?"

"Weinstein escalated the opposition by vigorously promoting the inaccuracy of Howard Hughes' portrayal in 'The Aviator'."

"This time he managed to let many judges see the 'ambition' of Leonardo and Martin. You know, Leonardo has only cooperated with directors who are aiming for the Olympics in the past few years. This time the old Martin was cheated by Leonardo, and Leonardo ruined his impression points in the past few years. But in the end, it was Weinstein's handwriting. The two of them are so determined to give Weinstein The excessive publicity immediately aroused the resentment of some judges."

"Then does this have any bad effect on the Shell?"

Phillips shook his head: "Martin is all competitors, and it will certainly be good for us if we do this alone."

"But I heard them say that this time, Weinstein persuaded the director Clint and producers of "Million Dollar Baby" to move from Ireland to Los Angeles to hold frequent meetings with the judges; to increase the film's popularity among voters. The number of screenings in movie theaters in residences and vacation locations; even in order to create momentum for the film, the male lead went to the Senate as a witness for the boxing sports bill, which fueled the flames of public opinion.”

"Recently, the sudden emergence of small-budget independent film companies and Internet companies has obviously brought a new look to the Oscars. With this shareholder wind, the past few years have been the period when Weinstein's public relations capabilities are at its strongest. Last year, his "Beautiful "Mind" is really a PR case that doesn't stink enough.

This time he intensified, and there were many illegal operations, such as inviting important judges to parties, and also bombarding judges to recommend movies by phone. After finishing speaking, Phillips shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Miramax Headquarters

Harvey took his hand, and said ""Ghost in the Shell" is a well-deserved masterpiece, the best movie hit" The newspaper fell to the ground, and snorted coldly: "Best movie? In the next life!"
