atypical hollywood life

It only needs to invest a few million. For this reason, Barry even personally instructed his subordinates to spend public relations expenses on Leonardo, and find those film critics to write soft articles for him... If this man who has been rejected by the Oscar several times gets it The attention caused by the awards will definitely make the movie more popular!At the same time, the prices of various copyrights can continue to rise.And now, Katharine Hepburn's death and Margaret's near miscarriage let Barry see another shining avenue.

Let him think about it, how many times has Leonardo been nominated?The male supporting role is once, and the male lead is only three times including this time.But what about Margaret?Not counting the nominations, she even won three statuettes!If she can continue to be reelected this year, then she will undoubtedly create a history, and this history was created in "The Aviator". Is there a better way to promote it than this?This is not only making history, but also an early classic!

Barry is even fantasizing about the scene where this movie wins the Best Actor and Best Actress at the same time, that will definitely push the reputation of "The Aviator" to a peak!So isn't it normal to have some brains on this? A fool would do nothing, right?

I'm such a kind capitalist, is there anyone else I don't want others to know about my good deeds?Thinking of this, Barry narrowed his eyes narcissistically.

That's right, he just didn't want people to know!

Taking advantage of the news of Lilian Miller's death back then, Warner Bros. made a fortune on "Interview with the Vampire", which doesn't mean that they can still control this girl and make big fuss about her as they like.

Margaret Jane is no longer the 12-year-old girl who even needed her guardian to sign the actor's contract. She now has honors and box office results, and has established her unshakable position in Hollywood.Especially with the support of the Jewish group behind her, basically, as long as she doesn't try something that she shouldn't try, her position will be as stable as Mount Tai.Warner has been very happy to cooperate with her in these years, and even now there are several Wood Torch release films in hand, Barry will not be so stupid to poke the sore feet of his own cash cow in this sensitive time, that would be too bad wise.

But they are Warner!If they really want to publicize a person, some methods are hidden from others. Perhaps the identities and names of the judges are very mysterious to outsiders, but for Warner Bros., a big company that once manipulated Hollywood. Saying this is no secret.Since Margaret Jane has this strength, and the movie has this quality, why can't they let the Oscars also recognize this?

God has created so many conditions for them, if they don't know how to use it, it would be too wasteful and stupid.And Barry's ability to take the CEO seat at Warner Bros. in a highly competitive pack of wolves means he was never an idiot.

Compared with the huge box office and peripheral benefits, Margaret Jane's sadness is nothing!People are always going to die. If he is given enough benefits, Barry is willing to contract out his funeral in advance and turn it into a grand show!

She is still too young, and her journey has been too smooth, that's why she is so innocent, she is such a cute little girl.Barry relighted a cigar and sighed.

"The naive person is probably himself." Carl complained to his boyfriend who was dating.

Albert is a handsome Italian-American, his youthful face is still a bit green, but he is already charming enough to fascinate many girls, but unfortunately this one is more crooked than a mosquito coil, and now he is in Karl's Smoke was coming from under the suit pants.

"How?" He turned over and looked at Carl who got out of bed to pour water and asked.

As a large studio with a huge number of employees, unless it's a high-level meeting, it's hard to keep any secrets. It's just that it won't spread to the outside world.Albert's father was a moderate shareholder, and the matter of "The Aviator" was like gossip to him, and it became a pastime at the dinner table.

By the way, it also became a small topic between Albert and his lover.

"For Meg, acting is just a profession, far from the point where she can devote her whole life. To be precise, it is more like a hobby, a hobby that can vent her emotions. When will it change? It’s impossible to say anything else. Her life principle is to not meddle in other people’s business, live her own life honestly, and take care of her own life. Pregnancy is a very personal thing, and she herself is a star Doesn't it mean that the child is also a star, isn't it normal to protect one's baby?" Carl poured two glasses of ice water and returned to the bed.

"If she was really that naive, Wooden Torch would have become a subsidiary of the Sixth National Congress long ago, and she herself would not go so smoothly in Hollywood. Some people always like to use the way of despising women to show My own ingenuity." He sneered slightly.

Although he hadn't been with Margaret for a long time, he was born in a business family anyway, so it could be seen whether a person was really empty-headed and ignorant of world affairs.Margaret is undoubtedly a very smart person, and she is also a very cold and smart person. Look at the fate of those who opposed her. Do you think she is being ridiculous when she is naive?

Those who say she's naive just don't have a conflict of interest with her, otherwise this lady wouldn't mind showing them what it means to be naive.

"It's really a group of people who don't know what to do." David Ellison was much more sober than someone who was also staring at the newspaper.

Don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean that he is smarter than that old fox like Barry Meyer, it's just that as a character close to the center of the storm, his understanding of Margaret is obviously deeper than those casual acquaintances.

"What do you mean?" Megan asked, looking up at the report sent by the producer of "Brokeback Mountain" with a deep expression.

Thanks to David, this lady successfully got on the line with the wooden torch, and then got on the line with the crew of "Brokeback Mountain", thus filling the missing capital chain in time.Her sources are solid, and the film's current score certainly bears that out.It's just that the return of funds for this kind of art film is too slow, which is a bit annoying.

But anyway, she doesn't expect this kind of movie to make money, and her enthusiasm for the movie itself is the fundamental reason for her to join this industry.

"I mean, the investors behind "The Aviator" must take this opportunity to make trouble. This movie was originally a big hit in the award season, and now this kind of thing happened. They don't use their brains on the Oscars. It's weird." David snorted lightly.

He is no longer the rookie who just entered Hollywood. This world full of desires and various transactions has taught him too many paid courses, making this young man not only a lot more cautious in investment projects, but also insightful into people's hearts. It has also been tempered to a certain level.

According to the usual way of thinking in Hollywood, isn't this a normal thing?

"So what's your displeasure about it?" Since you know it's bound to happen.

"Oh, dear Meghan, you have no idea what Meg is like. Although your names are similar, you are far from the same in character. Especially since she is now a pregnant woman and has suffered the loss of a loved one. I am afraid that my poor good brother is about to fall into dire straits." David said that he was not dissatisfied with this, but only full of sympathy.

Sympathy in the literal sense, nothing else.

To be honest, he really felt that Margaret had been unlucky enough in the past year or so. He almost died, his great-grandmother passed away, and then she became pregnant and almost had a miscarriage. How bad a person's luck must be to be so unlucky Everything in one place?There is also my good brother Luke. When he visited their house a few days ago, he saw with his own eyes that the food that the other party made after a busy day in the kitchen was rejected by Margaret, who suddenly changed his taste. It is conceivable that this This kind of thing will never be less in the future life. Isn't it normal to shed a handful of tears of sympathy for a brother who is devastated?

At the same time, the idea that a pregnant woman is a very difficult creature was deeply engraved in his mind.

"Okay, my dear brother, can you give me some advice in your spare time when you are using your overflowing sympathy? You know, I did a good job in investing this time, and the old man thinks you can give me some pocket money, I want to find a place for them." Megan shrugged and said nonchalantly.

She is not familiar with the lady whose name is similar to her own, and she has never even met her face to face. She is completely relying on her brother to connect the middle, so of course she can't make any comments.But I admire the other party very much. After all, it is really remarkable to achieve such an achievement at this age. She is like Shirley Temple who did not end her acting career halfway, and she is completely worthy of the appreciation of others.

"As far as where to go, my suggestion is the British film industry. With those miserable tax rates and terrible union services and those deep cultural treasures, you know, this is the Weinstein brothers' backyard." David laughed. up.

"Is there a goal?" Megan became interested.

Unlike her elder brother, she prefers art films with a strong humanistic color over those more commercial films. It is a pleasant thing to find and think about the philosophy contained in the story in the screen.British movies, on the other hand, completely fit her taste.Think about it, that is the hometown of Shakespeare, and countless wonderful plays were born here. Even the source of American culture comes from this country shrouded in fog. Movies that draw nutrients from here must be wonderful.Just like those works that once shined on the Oscars.

"Um, there are many. Whether you can find a good project from it depends on your own vision. After all, our hobbies are not similar at all. I really can't give you any constructive advice." David said A helpless expression.

On the one hand, it is Megan's own hobbies, and on the other hand, it is the pocket money their father gave Megan. So far, his little sister has no way to participate in his investment activities.

"I'll give you a suggestion. If you don't know where to start, maybe you can look at those adaptations of famous novels. This kind of movie will always have a part of its own fixed audience. If it is not too big investment, it will basically not Lose money." Although the two people's thoughts were completely different, David finally gave a conscience suggestion.

Investors like them are quite popular if they find the right source. After all, they don't require such over-the-line things as copyright, which is much easier to deal with than those big vampire companies and banks with strict audits. .It's just that the premise is to ensure that you have a reliable accounting review team and smart lawyers when you cooperate to avoid the traps in the contract and the manipulation of subsequent income matters.

Thank you Margaret for showing him these tricks, and thank you Luke for having such a girlfriend, Hallelujah!

"Thank you, I'll buy you gifts if I make money." Megan nodded coolly, and the two exchanged a smile.

We will always get to the point where the filmmakers are begging us instead of us to find projects. At this moment, the two brothers and sisters are thinking the same.

And it's not just them who think too much, but also the two characters in their topic.

"I think we can push this one, if Leonardo DiCaprio and Margaret Jane can get the statuette in this film, we can get the most More. Bob, I've never been more thankful that we were a part of this movie that not only made the return of the Weinstein Brothers a big hit, but also made us money More money!" Harvey said to his brother's eyes, as if two torches were burning inside.

"You're right. I think Warner will also make moves. We don't need to do anything else. We just need to push the boat forward. If we succeed, the income will be enough for us to have a dance party to celebrate. It doesn't matter if we don't succeed, we still make money." Bao Bob Weinstein also looked interested.

Who would think too much money?And without them taking the lead, the two brothers played really well!At this time, the brothers hadn't considered at all that they wanted to sign up Margaret for the best supporting actress. They had already done voluntary labor once, so what else do they want?

The sun in Hollywood is rising as usual every day, but people under the sun have different moods every day. Some people are happy about the storm brought by Margaret, while others are sad. Of course, some people are also rejoicing.

"Oh, mygod! Thank God!" Rachel Weisz, who was staying in Los Angeles with her husband for the awards season, covered her mouth while reading the news in the newspaper.

At this time, she was very grateful that she finally chose the path of Best Supporting Actress in public relations soberly.Touching her belly, Rachel felt that she had really avoided a war of becoming cannon fodder.

Even Oscar's young year does not mean that the competition is so peaceful, on the contrary, because there is no one opponent who can crush all the competitors, this war is more cruel, because everyone has the same chance, no matter the award Still lost.

She also hesitated at first, whether she could take advantage of the opportunity of her pregnancy, but in the end she gave up this tempting idea.Wrapped with the aftermath of Joan Carter's death not long ago, this year's "Indomitable Action" is very hot, so hot that the Golden Globe Awards not long ago gave the actress to Reese Witherspoon instead of Margery they have always loved Te Jane.Basically, these two people lead the way in this year's Oscar Sentinels, even if Margaret Jane, who is unlikely to win Oscars, and Keira Knightley, who are also British, and Judy Dench, these two rivals, Rachel is really not sure that she can win this tragic war.

Now it seems that her choice is correct. The pregnancy of Margaret Jane and the death of Katharine Hepburn have made this invisible war even more cruel.At this point, I am afraid that even the rotating chairman of Oscar can't be sure who the trophy will belong to?
