Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 208 Hurry up every minute and every second!

Germany is one of the most important box office overseas. It may be difficult to earn 5000 million yuan at the box office, but more than [-] million is very promising. The team's previous box office expectation is higher than that of France.

As for Sarah and Leonardo personally, Berlin has the Berlin International Film Festival which is very friendly to them.Leonardo won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor at the 1997th Berlin International Film Festival as early as 47. As for Sarah?I feel a little sorry for this international award. They awarded the award to Sarah because they wanted to use this popular little girl to increase the influence of their awards, but they didn't expect that Sarah's limelight at the beginning of the year was all above the Golden Globes and Oscars. The list of Oscar nominations followed closely after the Golden Globes, which made the 2th Berlin International Film Festival held in February occupy a very small space in the American media. In addition, Sarah’s team did not rush The public relations of the award naturally did not publicize the good news of Berlin's queen, so many fans in North America didn't realize it until now-Sarah actually won the Berlin queen?When did this happen?If they hadn't seen the photos of the Berlin premiere of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", they would not have known about it!

The promotional slogan of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in Germany is "Berlin Film Festival Best Actor and Actress Co-starring". In the movie poster, there are eye-catching remarks at the feet of Leonardo and Sarah respectively "The 47th Berlin International Film Festival Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio" and "The Queen of the 54th Berlin International Film Festival: Sarah Stern", and the host also emphasized these two titles at the premiere ceremony, the German side The media naturally used this gimmick as the headline of the report, and the team's public relations manager Dawn had already prepared a press release to cooperate with the domestic publicity.Even though domestic people pay far less attention to the three major film festivals than the Golden Globes, let alone the Oscars, it is an internationally renowned award after all, and it is more or less something to be proud of being won by a Hollywood movie star produced in the United States, so Two months after the Berlin Film Festival ended, this overseas B-OSS finally gained a strong presence in the American media.

"Is Sarah going to start an overseas journey? Go abroad and conquer the world?" Some fans began to speculate on Sarah's next goal, "I heard that the three major film festivals are very proud, and they have always looked down on the commercialization of Hollywood." , hum, get ready to be conquered by Queen Sarah!"

"Actually, Sarah attended the awards ceremony of the film festival. Look, there are photos of Sarah walking the red carpet on the official website of the film festival." Some fans immediately found the official website after reading the newspaper.

"There is also a video of the acceptance speech! But it seems that the mood is very calm, and it is not as exciting as when it won the Golden Globe and Oscar." Some fans unconsciously felt a little proud after watching the video of the acceptance speech , not only proud of the good performance of her own goddess, but also taking the awards overseas, and after comparison, she has a sense of superiority that "our country's award ceremony is much better than those three major international film festivals".

Of course, some people wonder why Sarah won an international award without publicizing it. Thinking about last year, Julianne Moore, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep were in the movie "The Hours" at the same time. The news after the closure of Berlin has been widely reported by the media and has been talked about for a long time!As a result, the competition for various promotional drafts during the awards season and the rumors of Sarah's "zero public relations" were brought up again in a small area, but these were only private exchanges between movie fans and did not appear in the public media. Naturally, It won't have much influence either.But for fans who love Sarah, knowing these rumors, looking back at Sarah's performance in the awards season and those acceptance speeches again, they will have a deeper feeling and a strong pride of "being a fan of such an outstanding idol". feel.

At this time, German moviegoers also had similar pride—"You are famous in Hollywood! Why don't you come to our film festival!"

No matter how you feel, Starlight Company's publicity strategy is very correct anyway. Although Sarah Oscar's impressive record is indispensable in media publicity, the words "Berlin International Film Festival" are undoubtedly the most eye-catching on the movie poster. Such a straightforward show of favor has successfully gained a lot of favorability in this ticket warehouse. In addition, the German show of the two leading actors Sarah and Leonardo in the interview has given many moviegoers A big surprise, there is nothing more gracious than speaking the native language. Although it is impossible to count how many fans the two have gathered in Germany this time, their popularity in this country has undoubtedly increased a lot cut.

It’s just that there are always some media who want to pick things up. No one expected that during the enjoyable interview, some reporters would directly ask Sarah: “May I ask Miss Sarah Stern, as a Jew, what do you think about this German event?” Do you have any special arrangements for the trip? Will you visit the Jewish Museum?"

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere that was originally very lively because of the two stars' German show froze for a moment. The history of World War II is a "baggage" that the Germans will never lose. Even though decades have passed, the German Nazis The past of the persecution and massacre of Jews is still not a pleasant topic, especially when it is mentioned at such a relaxing entertainment event, it is like a drop of spicy oil falling into the sweet soup, instantly ruining the original comfort.

"Which newspaper does this reporter belong to? Didn't he come here to make trouble on purpose!" Hearing this question, many people were very surprised. Sarah's own appearance attributes are really not a standard Jewish beauty. It is not a standard configuration of Jewish ancestry, so Sarah's Jewish ancestry is rarely mentioned, and it is even easy to be forgotten that she still has such an identity label.So even the most inexperienced Janet smelled a conspiracy.

"Maybe it's because the reporter wants to sell sales on the blog, so he's so... unkind..." Ada wanted to find a suitable adjective, but at this moment, she didn't like the troublesome reporter comrades from the bottom of her heart, and in the end she could only say that the other party didn't like it. Kind, because she herself is a kinder woman.

Rick didn't have such a good temper. He frowned and took out his phone long ago. Although he is Leonardo's manager, can Sarah and Leonardo still distinguish each other now?

In his opinion, nine out of ten people deliberately bribed the German media to make Sarah uncomfortable.Sarah's answer is well worth hesitating at this point: "It wouldn't have been a big deal if she had visited the Jewish Museum if no one had mentioned it earlier, but now..."

"Now that someone is deliberately bringing up the issue, and Sarah goes, there will inevitably be some local German people who don't like it. Coupled with the embellishment of the good media, even if Sarah doesn't have any thoughts in mind, I'm afraid it will be written differently. Here comes the story." Ada also rubbed the center of her brows, looked at Sarah in front of the microphone, and was very worried that the cousin might say something wrong, because it didn't seem like a good result for her to answer, "If Sarah doesn't go...it's fun It’s so big, after someone specially reminded you, you, a Jew, actually went through the Jewish Museum and refused to enter for tens of millions of box office in Germany? What are you thinking? This is forgetting your origin!”

"Forget your origins? It's just a museum. Is it that exaggerated?" Janet is not Jewish, and she is too young to have experienced World War II, so she has no feeling for that period of history at all. At most, she can think of it. "Schindler's List" directed by Steven Spielberg.

"Whether exaggerating or not depends on whether someone is plotting against Sarah. National beliefs are inherently elusive. It is very manipulative to accuse someone specifically out of thin air. Someone with a heart will exaggerate Sarah's performance during this trip. Her image in the hearts of seniors in the circle may be compromised." Rick said here with a bit of earnestness, "Hollywood has always been ruled by Jewish bigwigs, and this nation is also sensitive to clinging to each other and protecting its weaknesses. ...Sarah can have the current achievements in Hollywood, it is not without the benefits of Jewish blood..."

"It turned out to be like this?" Janet's eyes widened for a long time. She has been with Sarah for a long time, but her understanding of the circle is still far from Rick's. Thoughts, eyes are still on Sarah, facing this question that may have ulterior motives, how will the goddess of her family answer?

Whispering has already appeared at the scene, and the staff cast a questioning look. The organizer can come out to smooth things over, but Sarah and Leonardo present did not ask for help. Not Sarah.

Leonardo showed a disapproving smile to the reporter who asked the question, and the answer he gave disappointed and helpless the reporters at the scene: "Is this reporter inquiring about our itinerary from the side? This is not good! You may have heard Having said that, this global promotion is also a honeymoon trip for Sarah and me. The previous private trip in the UK was followed by flashlights almost all the way, which already made us very tired, so..."

Leonardo was like a rambunctious rich young man, he spread his hands helplessly to the reporters, and Sarah beside him showed a sweet smile, and continued with his fiancé's words: "We will quietly admire Berlin in disguise. It is really inconvenient to disclose the scenery, itinerary and tour plan."

"But if there are no accidents, maybe we will meet again in a few months." Leonardo threw a jelly bean to the disappointed media at the right time, a few months later?Why do the two come again?Is it a shooting plan for a new movie?

Everyone's interest was immediately attracted by this topic. Will Sarah and Leonardo cooperate again after Mr. and Mrs. Smith?Is this couple planning to strike while the iron is hot and launch a more profitable commercial blockbuster?And you want to come to Germany for filming?

For a while, various problems were caught by the bait thrown by Leonardo, and then Sarah revealed that the new film would invite colleagues from Germany to co-shoot. This is undoubtedly another blockbuster, although the local German film It has its own system, but which star would not want to go to Hollywood, where the film industry is the most prosperous, to experience it!With Sarah and Leonardo co-starring, it must be a Hollywood blockbuster, a super super big production!Thinking about the films that the two have collaborated with before, they either hit the box office or received great reviews. If they can find an important supporting role with a high appearance rate in the new work, it will be regarded as opening the door to Hollywood.

So, until Sarah and Leonardo left the stage together, the topic of the new movie was still going on. Who exactly got the legendary role.

"No? How could it be?" As a result, after a round of phone calls, no useful information was found. "Could it be that a new actor was used?"

"It's not a lie to us, is it?" A reporter suspiciously played back the previous interview video, suspecting that it was deliberately released by two cunning American movie stars in order to divert the topic.

"No □□..." The companion had just ended the call, and his expression was slightly weird when he spoke, "I just found out that there is indeed a new movie, which is said to be a World War II romance..."

"A World War II romance movie..." Hearing this, the reporter who asked the question at the press conference fell into deep thought, but soon he was relieved and muttered softly, "Anyway, I have already asked the question in public, and the money must be worth a mark." Can not be less……"

"So, someone is really plotting against me behind my back?" At this time, all the promotional activities ended, and Sarah, who returned to the hotel where she was staying, was also on the phone with Michael, her expression became more and more serious and even appeared following the words on the other end. A little dignified.

"What?" Leonardo couldn't help casting a questioning look when he saw this. He really rarely saw this expression on Sarah's face. What happened last time?Oops, was it a few years ago when Sarah was sniped by Harvey Weinstein when she was just starting out?

But many years have passed, and Sarah's status in the circle has long since changed. How can casual slander be shaken?Now who will make Sarah so ready?

When Leonardo was wondering, Sarah had already pressed the handset on the phone, and Michael's voice immediately reached Leonardo's ears: "Although there is no official press conference yet, everyone in the circle Knowing that Harvey has left Disney, our Starlight Company is now famous!"

"So Michael Eisner is taking revenge? Because we poached Disney's corner?" Sarah pursed her lips, as if angry.

"Michael Eisner? Could it be that this is the mastermind behind it?" Leonardo's face became unbelievable, and his face also became serious. He thought that the one who plotted against Sarah was a competitor in the same industry, not to mention the contemporary Anne Hai. Sylvia or Natalie Portman, even Julia Roberts is not scary at all. With Sarah's current status, her peers have long been no threat to her.But... who would have thought that it would be Michael Eisner, the boss of the Disney dynasty, who bribed a small German reporter to dig a hole for Sarah!No wonder Sarah looked so ugly!

"But, even if he wants to take revenge, shouldn't he still trouble you?" Leonardo squeezed Sarah's palm as a comfort, and at the same time said something that made the old Michael on the phone want to beat someone very much.

How does this kid talk! ?Is this the attitude of talking to elders?

Michael snorted angrily on the phone: "With a loving wife, do you forget your friends? I was the one who fought side by side with you against a certain veteran! Have you forgotten the love you share in adversity?"

"Ah... I almost forgot!" Leonardo prolonged his tone on purpose, and then retorted playfully, "If you hadn't found a troublesome girlfriend back then, I wouldn't have gotten into a bloodbath for no reason..."

"..." Michael was at a loss for words, he was really at a loss for this...

Sarah originally heard that the Disney bigwig was going to deal with her, and she felt heavy and nervous unexpectedly, but now she was amused by the bickering between Leonardo and Michael, and she laughed out loud. The dark cloud above her head Also scattered a lot.

Disney is indeed something she can't afford to provoke, and Eisner is indeed the overlord of Hollywood, but she is no longer a little transparent without the slightest foundation.She doesn't have the guts to confront Disney head-on, but it's not easy for Eisner to bully her. Hearing Michael Ovitz's still relaxed tone, most of her heart is relieved. Waiting for the old Michael and Leonardo finally ended his bickering, and she asked about the solution to this matter.

"That old thing is an old fool tossed by Disney's internal struggles. The success of Starlight's new star movie in the youth market every year is regarded as my personal revenge on him. Harvey Weinstein's job-hopping is also my conspiracy. , you are the chief culprit for all of this..." Michael coughed awkwardly on the other end of the phone before continuing, "Actually, you are not wronged at all, because without you, there would be no starlight today, nor There would be no revenge from me against him, so..."

"So, he will continue to fire at me? Using this kind of unimposing little method?" Sarah's mood is very complicated at this time, "The dignified Disney helmsman will use this kind of small person to deal with a small person like me." Trick, would it be too demeaning? Or is he just warning you in this way?"

"That's almost what it means! A lot of old people, if they really attack you, a little girl, I'm afraid they will be laughed at by everyone, but his temper has always been bad, and he always has to do something to vent his anger. By the way, he will ring the alarm for me. " Michael let out a long sigh, seeming to be quite emotional, "It seems that the departure of the Weinstein brothers this time really made him very angry."

"He is not angry that Harvey left, but that Harvey was abducted by you, right?!" Sarah had an urge to help her forehead. Even a big man standing at the top is also angry. , and Michael Eisner and Michael Ovitz, the two old Michael's grudges, have affected her, a tiny pond fish, what a bad luck!

"I abducted Harvey? How could that shrewd fat man be abducted by me? As for the young master of the Mellon family... Hehe, who arranged for him to start hooking up with Harvey?" ?” Listening to Sarah’s resentful tone, Michael kept groaning on the phone, and at the end he even felt a little gloating, “Little girl, you are undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the company’s development to this point, and the next Only you can accomplish big things, so... Enjoy the rest of the journey with Leon, who has lost sight of his friends, this may be your last leisure time this year!"

"...It's agreed that I won't talk about business affairs this month..." Sarah's small face collapsed, knowing that Eisner would not target her, she should be happy, but after hearing Michael's words, she instantly No excitement.This round-the-world trip has a price, and I’m afraid she’ll be really busy when she returns. Harvey Weinstein joined Starlight, and Starlight and Prophecy.com set up a group. These major events will inevitably take up all of her energy.

So... After figuring out that there is no crisis lurking in the dark, the immediate thing to do is to hang up the phone and start her and Leonardo's trip to Berlin!

However... Mr. DiCaprio apparently has a completely different interpretation of Michael's gleeful reminder.

"That's right! I almost forgot about it these days. After the promotion is over, you will be busy with company affairs, and I will go to South Africa to film "Blood Diamond". The time we spend together is really getting shorter and shorter every day! "Leonardo's tone was extremely serious, as if he was facing a major crisis, he was ready for battle.

"So you have to seize every minute and every second. What did you agree to eat tonight? The name of the restaurant..." The word... Sarah hadn't finished speaking, let alone reacting, she had already My fiancé fell down.

Mr. DiCaprio said: The hotel's room service and "Rick brand" packaged meals can meet all the needs of his fiancée, but for himself...all the food is not as delicious as before, so really want to Seize every minute and every second!

The author has something to say: Eat smog in February, eat windy sand in March, eat catkins in April, and eat Dafeng Family Bucket today, a proper value-for-money set meal!

Dailin finished this chapter with this super-value package, and I really want to throw a handful of sand in the shameless room service
