Hollywood Domination Chapter 123: Split pork
Contrary to what most people think, being an actor is a job that requires a lot of patience. In addition to the large-scale exposure during the release period, for most of the year, actors are either worried about losing their jobs or working hard in various remote areas. The studio is engaged in shooting work, and the film that has been shot with great effort may delay the release date, and it may take several years to wait from the completion of the filming to the final broadcast. Jenny is lucky. All the films she has made since she was in the film industry are released in the first time. From "Caribbean" to "Prada", they are almost ready for release as soon as they come out. But even so, she still It took nearly a year to get the 10 million share of "Lian Lian Notebook" - if "Prada" hadn't been a big hit, the new line might not have paid the share so readily, and maybe it would have gone to court in the end that step. It was because she was gaining momentum now, and Xinxian wanted to form a good relationship and leave room for future cooperation. After a delay of almost half a year, it finally paid the share.
If the release of "Lian Lian Notebook" is delayed, the wait will be really long. It will be filmed in early 2003, released at the end of 2004, and will be settled and nominated at the end of 2005. It may take until 2006 Just attended the award ceremony and received the award. To put it bluntly, many actresses are still beautiful when they are filming, but during the long wait for the release, their life experiences may change a lot. After the film is released, even if the response is good and it gathers a certain popularity, but The film dealer came to see, you are either getting fat, or looking old, or you have children... So a talented newcomer, can be appreciated through the process-starring in a role with potential-good quality of the film-released on schedule -Getting the next starring opportunity, and finally entering the list, is actually a very lucky performance. What if you can get nominated further? In fact, no matter whether you win an award or not, you are a winner.
However, although this truth is true from the perspective of probability, it does not mean that every nominee will happily attend the award ceremony. This is a problem that cannot be coordinated due to the schedule, and there is also a rivalry mentality. Jenny I don’t think I am a very narrow-minded person, but now that she has become an A-lister and is busy filming every day, let her fly thousands of miles back to Los Angeles, spend a lot of money to dress up and walk the red carpet, and sit in the guest seat Laughing all night and finally watching someone else win an award...sorry, unless it's a Golden Globe or an Oscar, she can't do something like this. Even when she is not an A-lister, if she knows in advance that she will not win an award, she will not attend, unless the party arranges another opportunity for her to show her face, awards, a short host program or even a special performance, in short She couldn't have come dressed up and left empty-handed.
Compared with the mentality of A-listers and B-listers, the organizers hope to invite superstars to support the scene. For awards ceremonies, the ratings are actually a manifestation of their influence, and also The source of advertising fees and broadcast rights fees, so in order to expand their influence, award ceremonies will always try their best to invite superstars to participate, so except for the truly best award ceremonies in the industry, a large number of award ceremonies can only be partially fair. It can be said that it is another form of pork distribution. For B-lister and C-lister, the awarding party will not guarantee the award, but will only use the appearance fee, provide the opportunity to award, or use the network of the TV station to invite people. , but for the A-lister, there is almost only one rule: when the superstar itself is shortlisted for an award, if you are called to come, there must be an award for you, and there will be absolutely no exceptions.
Even for an award like the People's Choice Awards, which are all voted by the audience, there is no inside story. When the nomination list came out, the TV station had already contacted Judy, hoping to invite Ryan and Jennifer to participate together. When the voting started, it coincided with the release of "Prada". Well, let alone, the TV station was willing to bear all the expenses for Jenny to attend the ceremony, as long as she showed her face - after Jenny and Josh revealed the news of their engagement last month, the TV station almost They are already begging: since they announced their engagement, Josh and Jenny have hardly appeared in public. If the first appearance is on the red carpet of the People's Choice Awards, it will definitely be a great stimulus to the ratings.
Accompanied by this is of course the continuous increase in the price of the awards. At first, the organizers guaranteed the most popular female lead actor, and later promoted to the most popular female movie star, and then directly offered the most popular actress. The award for actress + best screen chemistry, as long as Jenny can bring Josh to the red carpet, these two awards will be given to "The Notebook".
If you say that this is a voting choice, it cannot be faked? That's naive. The voting pages are all custom-made by the organizers. It's too easy to cheat without any trace. What's more, Jenny is also very popular, and she has a group of fans helping her vote day and night—— In this regard, the rest of the nominated actresses are indeed inferior to her. Even Jennifer Bell has a group of fans who wrote a ticketing program for her, hoping to get her "50 First Dates" to be the best screen reaction, including The most popular female lead, but Jenny was far ahead in the three votes. It was not until she was finally finalized that she was the most popular female movie star that the number of votes for the female lead slowly fell behind, and the number of votes soared to catch up. Bell was overwhelmed.
On this, it is still known as the fairest People's Choice Awards. Others such as MTV, Teen Choice Awards, etc., are "teens have no choice". Basically, it is a stage for PR to show off, but in Jenny herself In the case of not being able to promise to be present, MTV and the Teen Choice Awards tried their best to leave the awards for some groups to "The Notebook". It was cashed out in the awards, but it is debatable what award it is. Jennifer can’t guarantee that she will come, so it’s okay to let Ryan go on stage to receive the award. Kissing scene, so whether she comes or not, it will be a great thing, and it will also guarantee the ratings.
"I'll do my best for the Teen Choice Award. I can't give an accurate decision yet, it depends on the progress of the crew's filming." Jenny raised her head and asked Julian to do her makeup while saying, "Christopher will not leave the filming period. I don't want to offend David either."
For the event, she could come or not, but the conversation with Christopher that night also gave Jenny some inspiration. With this network, she will definitely strive for performance. She frequently leaves the group to participate in award ceremonies and social activities, and she will definitely be reduced to a control group that foils Christopher. Jenny does not think that David Fincher has a place for her in future works. Land, but the important thing is that she has to start cultivating her reputation for dedication and love for her job.
Judy didn't answer right away, but looked at Jenny with embarrassment for a while, made eye contact with her briefly, and then said in concession, "Okay, then we will strive to appear on MTV, and this award will have more influence , and can be involved with Valentino's activities, it can be solved at once."
As her status rises, Judy's voice in the group gradually decreases. Now she can only follow Jenny's wishes, and it is difficult to manipulate her. This is also a state that Jenny likes to see. The PR fee she has paid to Judy now also makes her confident, "No problem-speaking of it, has the dress arrived yet? Why haven't I seen the dress yet?"
"The dress has just been delivered." Judy quickly brought in a unique heavy lace crepe dress from the outside room, "I sent it last night for ironing and modification, and it was just sent back in the afternoon——Ruth Lu Dove personally sent it, she is the American sales director of Valentino, and the people from Tiffany are also there.”
After becoming the spokesperson of Valentino, Jenny’s dress channels must be monopolized by them. Of course, with the rise of her status, she now has a much wider range of choices. Valentino will also make some changes to her dresses, hoping to be more suitable Jenny's style achieves a unique effect: this is also one of the benefits of the spokesperson. Although other actresses can borrow Valentino, they can't damage the structure of the clothes, otherwise they have to spend a lot of money to buy them like Jenny.
"Ruth, great to see you again." Putting on a dress and red-soled shoes, Jenny put on a business smile—now she understood why Cesare didn't like to smile—and went to meet Valentino After socializing, I took over their new platinum and diamond bracelet this year from the 'express courier' sent by Tiffany, "Thank you—"
"Carl." The young man's nose was flushed, he stammered and said quickly, "Carl Smith, it's very nice to meet you, Miss Jefferson, I must say I'm your most loyal fan .”
"It's nice to meet you too, Carl." Jenny said with a smile, and took the earrings of the same style from Tiffany. She knew that she would not remember Carl's name when she met next time. Like Miranda in the movie, she has to deal with so many people that most of the award ceremony requires Judy to follow her, reminding the identities and basic information of the visitors at any time. ' That's it. "Thank you for bringing me such beautiful jewelry."
"It's Tiffany's honor to be able to decorate you." Carl introduced wittily, "This is a set of light platinum diamond jewelry, young and lively, yet elegant, very suitable for your dress style, Tiffany this year There is also a set of yellow diamond necklaces, which are stunning - we are unanimously determined to keep it for your Oscar."
Jenny couldn't help but smile at the followers like Judy, Mary, Jim, and Julian: Carl can be sent to give jewelry, it really is something special, this is just sponsoring an award, just Already thinking about the next heavyweight award show.
"Then you have to establish a good relationship with Julian and Ruth." Jenny smiled at Ruth, "In the end, whether the jewelry can be matched with the dress or not is up to the two of them."
"It's almost time." Cesare came in while looking at his watch, and knocked on the door panel with his finger, "Josh is ready—let's go, don't make it too difficult for the organizer."
Different from the time required to attend the Oscars for the first time, Jenny now has enough status to play big names at the People's Choice Awards. The organizer issued a notice
During the conversation, Josh, who was wearing a vertically striped suit provided by Gucci and a purple tie, walked into the room accompanied by Claudia. After looking at Josh with his eyes, he finally stepped forward to adjust his tie, and praised Claudia a little sourly, "You did a good job."
Josh showed a gentlemanly smile to Jenny, and put his arms in front of Jenny amid the admiring smiles of everyone, "Let's go, fiancee."
"This is really an enviable couple..."
"They absolutely steal all the flash on the red carpet..."
Amidst the envious discussions of Ruth, Carl and the assistants, Josh and Jenny were surrounded by the entourage and walked out of Julian's modeling studio, and drove to the Nokia Theater not far away—almost just got off Che, even before the host picked up the microphone to introduce, Jenny heard the sudden increase of cheers, whistles and applause.
Various voices were mixed together, she couldn't hear anyone's shouting clearly, she just kept smiling and waved to the auditorium and the camera, Jenny and Josh were brought to the photo wall and answered a few questions, Of course, Jenny did not forget to perform the smiling and looking up posture that has been practiced many times. Josh also smiled and looked at her frequently, which also made the host very excited. After making fun of them, he turned to talk to them The Johnny Depp family who arrived at the foot.
"Jennifer." Before leaving the photo zone, Jennifer Bell came over with a smile among the celebrities chatting outside the venue door, and waved and smiled at Jenny. This wave was like a signal, a series of The flash flashed from the press area, barely blinding Jenny.
"Jennifer." She also showed a surprised smile, stepped forward and greeted Bell with a warm hug—this time, Jenny was sure, she was wearing crepe, and Bell could tear her apart with his bare hands. Convinced. "You are always so warm to me."
Her tone was a bit sarcastic, but Bell didn't mind, and still smiled naturally, "Mutual benefit, do you think people like to chat around the photo zone?"
Except for the first Oscar that Jenny attended, every year in the red carpet area, there will be a large number of people chatting and laughing, and even interacting with fans. Bell's words are not unreasonable, but Jenny can't lose in a verbal battle , she clutched her chest hurtingly, "Did you misunderstand something, Jennifer, I didn't mean to be sarcastic-of course it is human nature, and you have always been so good to me-"
She turned her face away, followed the shouts of the reporters, and took a beautiful pose for a group photo with Bell. After taking the photo, she continued, "Of course I'd be happy to help you take the photo, wouldn't I?"
Bell returned a beautiful smile with gritted teeth, and seemed to want to take advantage of the opportunity to hug her a few times, but in the end he held back and walked away. Josh, who had just gone to say hello to other friends, came over and asked her , "Can I enter?"
Jenny's eyes fell on the crowd, and she met Renee Zellweger. The two looked at each other for a while. Renee's expression was obviously a little stiff. She pursed her lips and turned her face away first : "BJ's Single Diary 2" is the reason why she came here, but compared to Jenny's "Prada" and "The Notebook", the budget is 40 million, and the North American box office is only 40 million. Single Diary 2 doesn't seem to be so dazzling. Renee came here this time because her PR ran the award for the most popular actress in a comedy movie for her, but compared with Jennifer who won the ultimate award for the most popular actress, who is bigger or smaller? ,it goes without saying.
Although for a moment, Jenny wanted to go over and say hello to her—she is sometimes superficial after all, but she still restrained this childish impulse, and instead put her arms around Josh and smiled, "Let's go in Let's play."
Although she is surrounded by Hollywood B-list actors, Jenny still notices sensitively that when they participated in the People's Choice Awards last year and won the group award for "Pirates of the Caribbean", everyone first Greeting Josh, some people even just nodded to her, every familiar face who passed them this year greeted first, "J.J——" and then said an affectionate "Josh".
From the release of "Pirate" in 2003 to the present, she has come to this point in less than two years... When she sat down next to Johnny Depp, Jenny really felt that she really did There have been some achievements: two years ago, her and Depp’s salary differed by dozens or hundreds of times, and now they are already winning the same award. For thousands of days and nights, she can also say without shame that for this day, she and her entire team have indeed paid a lot.
However, at this moment of harvest and enjoyment, instead of being complacent, she naturally started to feel new dissatisfaction——the popularity award has been won, so what about the acting award? Johnny's "Finding Neverland" that rushed to the Olympics last year was just a companion, and his Oscar journey seems to have a long way to go. Can she get nominated, or even win, before Johnny? When the filming of "Pirates 3" starts, will Depp or Jennifer Jefferson be the most popular in the crew?
The author has something to say: Note: Regarding whether the People's Choice Awards are shady, there is no dry support such as news events. However, every year there are fans who criticize black people. Everyone knows about the awards that can be voted on the voting machine... The Teen Choice Award has always been ridiculed because teenagers don’t get the Choice Award, so everyone chooses to believe the introduction in this chapter.
