The Best Entertainment Era

The night was dark, and cars drove out of the gate of the manor one after another. The future world manor, which was originally full of people, gradually quieted down, and a grand party was over.

Your wine and beef are good. Tom Cruise walked last: Your taste in life has improved significantly.

Ronan said directly: It was made with money.

Tom Cruise said: No need to be so frank.

Ronan shrugged: I was originally a small middle-class man, and my current life is all because of wealth.

There is nothing wrong with this. In the eyes of many people, he is an upstart.

By the way, I have something to say hello to you in advance. Tom Cruise was not polite to Ronan: I will fire my agent soon, and there may be some troubles.

Ronan understood what he meant, and said, Just let me know if you need my help.

Tom Cruise smiled: Thank you.

Ronan smiled: Do I need to be so polite? We are all old friends.

Tom Cruise didn't say any more polite words, and left the future world.

Watching Tom Cruise leave in the car, Ronan returned to the huge banquet hall. Nikia, the housekeeper, was instructing people to clean up. Avril, who heard that there was wine to drink, ran over and offered to help.

Ivy. Ronan greeted: It's fine that Nikia is responsible for these things, and you don't care.

Putting down the wine bottle in her hand, Avril came over with a bit of drunkenness, and said, Ronan, if there is such a lively event in the future, you must notify me in advance.

Ronan nodded: I see, little drunkard.

Avril Lavigne drank a lot of wine at night and said, It's not easy to find a place to drink safely. She pulled Ronan up: Come on, let's go to your wine cellar.

Of course Ronan would not object, and followed Avril into the wine cellar, allowing her to choose a bottle of whiskey.

It was very obvious that Avril Lavigne hadn't had enough of her drink yet.

Will this affect your singing? Ronan asked.

It's okay. Avril Lavigne didn't seem to care at all: It's only when I drink often that I feel it.

Thinking of the alcoholic Britney Spears who was still red and purple, Ronan didn't say any more, and pulled Avril up the stairs and walked towards the master bedroom on the third floor.

Holding the wine bottle, Avril said while walking: The production team has chosen a new song for me, do you want to listen to it?

Ronan said, Of course I want to listen.

Avril snorted softly: If you fall in love with someone, you will easily lose yourself...

The two walked into the master bedroom on the third floor together, and Avril Lavigne's singing continued.

After a while, her singing stopped and another tune sounded. Influenced by Avril Lavigne's singing, Ronan also remembered a song.

Forget worry grass, it’s fine when it’s done, turn to the left when it’s done…

Early the next morning, Ronan sent Avril Lavigne to the record company first, and then went to Embassy Pictures.

Hero was successfully nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Of course, the promotion and distribution of the Embassy Pictures must keep up. Starting from this weekend, it will be widely screened in North America.

For more than a month before screening, Hero has always maintained the scale of ten theaters. The proximity to the Chinese community and the good reputation of the operation have played an important role. The five-week screening has won a North American box office of 1.35 million US dollars.

It is said that on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the box office of Hero has exceeded 200 million yuan.

Although it is still unable to compare with the box office record created by Titanic in 1998, for the oriental domestic films of this era, it has already seen all the mountains and small things.

By the end of the week, Hero will expand to more than 2,000 theaters in North America.

Of course, theaters with expanded screenings will still make a fuss about the Chinese community.

After the expansion of screenings in North America, Hero will also be promoted by the Embassy Films to be released overseas.

The Oscar effect is also valid for overseas markets.

However, Embassy Pictures' Oscar public relations for Hero quickly stopped, and the film only received one best foreign language film nomination,

In fact, it is not difficult for a rational person to see that the possibility of Hero winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is so small that it can be ignored.

After all, Hero is not Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with an oriental cloak.

This film is all oriental from the outside to the core, and it is not the type of City of God that actively discredits its own city and country. It is difficult to get a group of middle-aged and elderly white Americans to cast the final vote. It's just too big.

An oriental film that does not blacken one's own country, one's own city, one's belief or nation, and wants to win a heavyweight Oscar is an epic difficulty.

In this respect, Oscar has something in common with the three major art film festivals in Europe.

The publicity and public relations team of the embassy film industry and the corresponding resources were all transferred to the award for the best animated short film of Peppa Pig.

Ronan wants to make sure Peppa Pig gets the best animated short statuette possible.

If you can get this statuette, the subsequent animated series will attract the attention of countless people. The Oscar halo and effects are still relatively easy to use.

But after the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, the most fierce speculation in the media was The Pianist and Roman Polanski.

Now not only Roman Polanski's health case and the parties concerned were dragged out to flog the corpse.

Previously, the immorality scandal about Roman Polanski 26 years ago was hyped up by the media for a while, and everyone knew it.

The FBI and the judiciary announced under the pressure of public opinion that if Roman Polanski came to the awards ceremony, he would be arrested and brought to justice.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is someone behind the scenes.

Oscar public relations is no longer as simple as promoting itself. In the hands of a certain fat man, beating competitors has gradually become the norm.

But this will not affect the perception of Roman Polanski's directorial ability in Hollywood circles.

There is a principle recognized by everyone in the Hollywood circle, art and character have never been two different things.

Otherwise, Sean Connery would not have been popular for so many years, Morgan Freeman would not have become a golden supporting role, and Woody Allen would have been finished long ago...

There are countless examples of this.

Beverly Hills, Century City.

On a building not far from CAA, the middle-aged Pat Kingsley was wearing Chanel and pushed open the door of Tom Cruise's office.

Good morning, Tom. Pat Kingsley greeted with a smile.

Tom Cruise sat behind the desk without moving. There was still a pile of documents in front of him. His face was a little gloomy. He pointed to the chair opposite: Sit, Pat.

Looking at Tom Cruise's handsome face, Pat Kingsley opened the chair and sat down generously.

Pat Kingsley asked: Call me so urgently, what's the matter?

A little thing. Tom Cruise looked calm, and his voice was the same as before: Pate, should you give me an explanation for the best actor nomination?

Pat Kingsley frowned slightly, and countless fine crow's feet appeared in the corners of his eyes, and said: I'm very sorry, Tom. I didn't do a good job, and the competition this year is also fiercer, and our subject matter is not dominant. ,Even……

Tom Cruise cuts off Pat Kingsley: Is that all?

Pat Kingsley's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad feeling, after all, he knew what he was doing.

Oscar awards and nominations can't be forced. Pat Kingsley said plausibly: The work must be excellent, the publicity must be appropriate, the public relations must be strong, and good luck must be had.

She took it for granted, We did a good job in the first three items, but we were a bit unlucky, so don't worry, we can continue next year...

Bad luck? Tom Cruise laughed angrily, picked up the top file in front of him, and threw it directly to Pat Kingsley: Since entering the awards season, you have participated in a total of five shows about me. campaign. But the other one, you participated sixteen times!

Pat Kingsley's complexion sank, and then returned to normal: Both of you are my clients.

Tom Cruise took out another document and threw it in front of Pat Kingsley: You only contacted seven media for me, and the other side is twenty-five!

Before Pat Kingsley could reply, Tom Cruise threw over another document: I prepaid you 3 million US dollars as the event expenses, of which only 1.8 million US dollars can be matched, and the other 1.2 million Where did the million dollars go?

Tom Cruise's tone continued to turn cold: What's going on with the public opinion in the media that used to belittle me and sympathize with Kidman?

Just as Pat Kingsley was about to defend himself, Tom Cruise threw her another document: You'd better read it before you speak!

These materials fell on the desk in front of Pater Kingsley, but Pater Kingsley didn't open it to take a look.

Things are not what you think, Tom. As an agent, Pat Kingsley, thick-skinned and lying are basic skills: You have misunderstood me, we need to talk calmly, you first Calm down, okay?

Tom Cruise was very calm and said: Pat, I just trust you very much, I am not stupid. I have always believed that you are an excellent agent and will consider everything for me. Before this Oscar, I have never doubted you.

If it wasn't for Ronan's reminder, maybe I would still trust Pat Kingsley as always.

You have betrayed my trust and squandered my trust. Tom Cruise's tone became more and more cold: We have cooperated for nearly ten years, and I didn't expect you to become like this.

More and more crow's feet appeared in the corners of Pat Kingsley's eyes, and he defended: Tom, you really misunderstood me, I may not have done some work well...

Tom Cruise's voice suddenly increased: Enough! He looked at Pat Kingsley: For the sake of our many years of cooperation, stop telling meaningless lies. I will notify CAA and announce to the public at the same time , we are no longer working together because of differences of opinion on the roles.
