[American Entertainment] Bright life

When it happened, Sterling was in the office of Lambert Morris, now at the helm of the WMA and his titular uncle, asking him for more networking.As for the purpose, it is naturally for the Oscars at the beginning of next year. Now Grace is in a good situation for the awards, not only "Julie and Julia", but also "Growing Education".

"Julie and Julia" has earned nearly [-] million US dollars at the box office in North America, which has already made Columbia Pictures pay back and make a profit. The kind that can flow slowly.As for overseas, the situation is not particularly clear because it has just been released or has not yet been released, but Sterling thinks there is no need to worry too much.

As for "Growth Education", its performance exceeded Sterling's expectations. At the Toronto Film Festival in September, "Growth Education" lost to the People's Choice Award-winning "Precious Life" by a few votes. This is a film about a black girl being abused by her mother and raped by her father, starring singer Mariah Carey.To be honest, the focus on social issues in "Growth Education" as a whole is not as strong as in "Treasure Life", but Grace's performance in "Growth Education" is obvious to all. "Education" wrote a film review, "If this film does not receive the attention it deserves, the main reason is that 'Grace Green's performance exceeds the film itself'."

The problem facing Sterling now is how they should choose. Previous public relations experience told him that when there are two films, it is best to focus on "firepower" to promote one of them. After all, like Kate Winslet's "Revolution The two films "The Road" and "The Reader" both won the Golden Globe Awards, and it is very rare to finally win the Best Actress Award at the Oscars with "The Reader", let alone "The Reader" In Julie and Julia, there is also Meryl Streep. The two heroines are bound to split votes, but "Growth Education" is different. The whole movie is supported by Grace. is the absolute protagonist.

WMA also wants to confess one of the youngest actresses in Oscar history (one), Sterling knows this very well, so he now has enough chips in exchange for the full support of Lambert Morris.

Today's Sterling can be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and the relationship with his uncle is not so rigid.

At this moment, a "bolt from the blue" came, and Sterling's assistant came to tell him in a panic: Grace's matter had been exposed.

Sterling's first reaction when he heard it was: "Didn't she go to South University to give a lecture on psychology? This matter needs to be exposed—" Sterling finally realized when he said this, and the assistant said the exposure Not about that, but about the badly judged thing about Grace and Leonard's relationship.Unexpectedly, Sterling didn't jump up in fright. You must know that in the past, he had imagined his reaction when the relationship was exposed, but there was absolutely no option of 'calm down'.

Sterling is calm now. He covered the microphone of his mobile phone and forced a smile to Lambert Morris: "I have something to deal with. We will talk about this matter later."

Before Lambert Morris could say anything, Sterling stood up from his chair, walked out in a hurry, and asked the assistant after leaving the office: "Tell me about the specific situation."

Afterwards, Sterling felt that the reason why he was so calm was that he was completely unprepared. This is not to say that after he learned that Grace and Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio were in a relationship, He didn't make a corresponding public relations strategy, but he never thought that the two of them would be exposed on such an occasion.Think about other couples caught on a date by the paparazzi, either in a coffee shop, at the airport, or in a nightclub, or even on a particularly beautiful occasion. What, but Sterling had envisioned many occasions, and he even took into account the fencing club that Grace and Leonard would go to, but he didn't expect this to happen in Southern California.

And Grace went to South University to give a lecture, a lecture on psychology!

——Is this meant to express the meaning of being unpredictable?

As for the real situation, it is probably like this:

After "Inception" was finished, Grace and Leonardo went back to Beverly Hills. Of course, they went back to their own homes. Leonardo's plan was to go on vacation with Grace, as a buffer, and it happened to be the two of them. There is also some overlapping free time: Grace's "Growing Education" will be screened in the United States, but it will be at the end of October, and Leonardo, who shot last year and directed by Martin Sr. "Shutter Island" directed by Adams) was originally scheduled to be released in North America in early October this year, but in August, Paramount announced that it would postpone the release date of the film to February next year, declaring that the adjustment of the release date was mainly due to the financial considerations of the company.Of course, there are some rumors that Paramount does not want to spend 5000 million to 6000 million US dollars to promote "Shutter Island" during the awards season, and others say that this is following the example of "The Silence of the Lambs", which also released in February. , and finally won the best film award of the year... There are different opinions, but if the schedule is postponed, it is postponed, and Leonardo's original promotional schedule is also vacant.

In fact, the vacation was just an excuse, and Leonardo wanted to take Grace to meet his mother.

Leonardo didn't tell the real reason. Before he achieved his real goal, didn't he have to persuade Grace to agree to go on vacation with him.

Then, here comes the problem.

Grace has other arrangements. The first date between her and Leonardo was the date related to the corpse. Let’s call it a date. There are prerequisites. Grace exchanged a lecture, and now It's time for her to deliver on her promise.

Leonardo obviously also remembered this incident, thinking that Grace was for their first date, a sweet brook trickled in his heart, and then he threw away the vacation in a very "magnificent" way It's in the back of my mind, there will be opportunities in the future.

When Grace went to give lectures at USC, Leonardo naturally followed him. He now has a natural affection for USC.Not only that, but he also snatched up a staff member's ID, and mingled among USC students, professors, and even psychologists who came here admiringly, listening to the lecture.

A simple layman in psychology like Leonardo is actually not uncommon among the lecturers.You must know that since the news that Grace came to USC to give lectures was confirmed, not only the students in various colleges of USC went crazy, even after the news was spread, several other universities in California also followed suit—Grace was in The lethality/influence in colleges and universities is not just talk.

The scale of the lecture was strictly controlled, but a considerable number of audiences still came that day, which also encountered a lot of protests. For this reason, USC agreed to burn the lecture into a video and put it on the school’s Facebook homepage for resource sharing , which calmed down the incident.

The reporter also came here upon hearing the news. Fortunately, the school had prepared in advance and made proper arrangements.

And the reporters did not find anything inappropriate until the end of the lecture, which is why they did not associate Leonardo or any other heterosexual/same-sex, to be precise, non-scholars with Grace, and they were mixed among the audience As for Leonardo, he was not recognized by the people around him, and I don’t know whether to say that he was faking it well, or that everyone else was listening to Grace’s speech carefully, and didn’t pay much attention to the work. Leonardo dressed up by staff.

This seems to be a meaning, right?

Anyway, everything was going well until they were ready to leave after the presentation.

Leonardo, who is no longer a fake staff member, raised his thumbs up to Grace, who got rid of the reporter, and praised her for her excellent speech.

Grace doubts this, not that she speaks well, but that Leonardo understands it perfectly.Leonardo felt that there was nothing to hide. He didn't fully understand it, but, "I saw that other people were listening very intently, with fanaticism on their faces. I knew Grace that you spoke very well. "

Only then was Grace satisfied, and there was a smile in her gray-blue eyes, like a flowing stream dotted with pebbles of various colors, sparkling very beautifully.

Leonardo couldn't help leaning over to kiss her, and then——

"what--!!!"

This "ah" is definitely like watching a very scary horror movie, seeing the screams of ghosts and ghosts coming out and being frightened. It is almost the same feeling, just shouting hoarsely.

Leonardo was taken aback. When he saw that the screaming was from a female student who should have followed him, as for the reason, Leonardo thought about it a little bit later, and then he was in a bad mood: As for?He just kissed Grace, his girlfriend, as if he had seen a ghost?

Next, it's... lively, the reporters haven't gone far, okay?

In the past, it was subconsciously understood that Leonardo had a good relationship with Grace, and now they are both holding hands and even kissing—this needs to be further verified, given that the witnesses are not well now—they No matter how far-fetched it is, you can’t just say that they don’t have anything, just want to give them a reason, saying that they are filming, it doesn’t make sense, after all, Grace was giving a speech before this, and there was no crew around. .

The reporters who strived to be a clear stream also worked hard. When Sterling saw it, the headlines of major websites were replaced with this news that caused a magnitude [-] earthquake, and there were pictures showing the truth.Sterling stared at the accompanying picture for a long while before uttering a word: "Ha! He's actually wearing a USC college baseball cap."

——Is this the point?
