…As time entered into January, the entertainment edition has officially entered its final madness. There are new news to be released almost every day. The press release sent by the public relations company, in order to satisfy the curiosity of the public, has a lot of information about the hot news. Follow-up and interviews of nominees (many actors have not followed reporters for many years before this), as well as spare no effort to monitor and excavate big-name stars who have hopes of competing in the Olympics this year: at this moment when the public’s attention is the highest, if stars If I have any scandals, it will undoubtedly mean the favorite hit rate of online media-in 2001, online media was just a new thing, but now in 2005, any news without the Internet seems to be unfeasible. Teenagers seem to prefer to watch scandals, scandals, scandals, and, of course, the indispensable street photos, which are of great significance for them to imitate the details of celebrities' lives.

Of course, at this time of year, it's always good to keep an eye on big-name stars who are hopeful for the Olympics. Wanted to make connections before the award ceremony. And this year's unlucky one is Reese Witherspoon. In fact, who is not engaged in public relations activities? There are many actors who have dinner with some lesser-known judges in private, but who makes her the highest? After being photographed, it naturally attracted a lot of criticism, and some gaming companies even raised the odds, thinking that the possibility of her winning the actress would be greatly reduced.

——Yes, every January, Las Vegas will open a market to predict the list of Oscar nominations. After the nomination list is announced, it will also predict the list of Oscar winners. The dealer's highest guiding principle, the odds issued by the handicap are regarded by many people as the most accurate weathervane, which is more accepted by the industry than many awards that are known as important weathervanes. Many film companies will even adjust their public relations strategy because of this, or contact bookmakers to ask them why they offer such odds.

Like this year's nomination market, the odds of Reese Witherspoon's "Moving Forward" are 1:1.1. This kind of odds is better than nothing, which shows that the gaming company believes that she is definitely on the nomination list. And Jennifer Jefferson's odds are second to hers, coming to 1:1.5, but after the news came out that she had dinner with the Oscar judges, her odds were as high as 1:1.4, which shows that the gaming company Taking into account the public psychology: After such news has been hyped, many Oscar judges will probably lower her order in the nomination list in order to cherish the feathers, or even not nominate her at all, which will reduce her nomination Probability—Oscar is not simply one person, one vote. The votes of the five nominations are simply added together, but the votes are counted by ranking weight, which can avoid the embarrassing situation of the same vote. In other words, if Witherspoon and Jennifer Jefferson's nomination counted 200 votes and ranked fifth, but Jennifer ranked first among her 200 votes, and Will Witherspoon only ranked first with 150 cards, and the remaining 50 were ranked second, so Witherspoon can only regret losing the election.

To be honest, the link from registration to nomination is actually the most terrifying elimination link every year. Many judges have to consider various factors and make difficult choices among their favorite films and actors. Therefore, if If Witherspoon's style and reputation are not enough, and she is not so lucky, after such a scandal, she is indeed likely to disappear or decline from the nomination list of the judges. After all, performance is very subjective. One year's actor and actress can say that she won this award as expected by everyone. After seeing this kind of canvassing news, some of the judges will think that Witherspoon doesn't care enough about feathers, which is rather stupid, and some will think that she is not her publicist. In short, there is no need to speculate about the darkness of people's hearts. In this kind of fierce competition, even if the news only affects 10% of the judges, it may make Witherspoon hate the nomination process.

"Why is everyone talking about this on the Internet?" In mid-January, even Los Angeles is a bit chilly, but Reese Witherspoon's manager is still only wearing a single shirt. Pacing back and forth on the terrace, the voice became louder and louder, "This is just a normal meal talk, for God's sake, the magazines have lost interest, why are you still staring at it online? Those inventory posts only appeared recently Come here? Why have I never seen them before, and why is Reese's name associated with vote-buying?"

As the tone of her voice rose to the point where she almost broke the line, she stopped abruptly and held her forehead for a good massage, "Sorry, I lost my temper, but seriously, Adam, can't you do something Is it?"

"We have already found a professional company for online public opinion control." Adam, a public relations expert, said awkwardly on the other end of the phone, "but the biggest problem is, Nancy, you have to know that these forums have not been established for a long time. In an emerging industry, even the best studios only have less than a year of experience, and the netizens are **** smart, I believe you have seen the current trend of ONTD.”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Nancy broke down. "Of course I saw it, and what's worse is that Reese saw it too--and God, what a temper! Otherwise why would I Calling you so late? I'm at Reese's house right now, she's going crazy, we have to fix this!"

Speaking of which, Reese's luck is indeed very bad. In fact, such things are photographed almost every few years, such as the Golden Globe Awards. Compared with the Oscars, it is because there are often incidents where the film studio entertains the judges and gives gifts. It can be said that before 2000, if no one deliberately tried to deal with the star, this kind of news could even be suppressed before it even appeared. Even if the media releases this information, it will be discussed for a few days at most, and it will exhaust its vitality, and it will not affect the star's award. But after 2000, the **** internet ruined it all, the interests of netizens are varied and magical, if you catch up with their favorites, then congratulations, you will get the kindest and most effective free publicity , but if you are as unlucky as Reese, then this is the current result: Ruixi's entertainment for the Oscar judges has been dragged into the big issue of 'have we been manipulated by the dark? The black/screen, and even the inside/screen of PR have been sorted out, and it has become a classic post that has been reposted everywhere and forwarded by email, and Reese is very honored to be the latest among the female stars to be counted—because the counting post is Flashbacks, so her name is the first and most striking one.

In less than three days, Reese's name had been linked to Oscar bribery. The Internet media noticed the upsurge, and began to follow Reese's public relations strategy, trying to dig further into the scandal. However, the online speech control expert hired by the public relations company, which was struggling, was spotted by sharp-eyed netizens: batch replies, similar reply content, strange, even meaningless reply IDs, similar IPs...

Well, it hasn't been a week yet, the news that Reese became angry and tried to control the public opinion on the Internet has spread in various communities, and even triggered discussions on the membership access system, such as whether to ban for a period of time in order to maintain the discussion environment The new ID registered in the company made speeches, etc. Now the public relations are barely suppressing these news, and the traditional media has not been allowed to report on it. However, with the increasing attention of netizens, it is completely unknown whether the traditional media can hold on to this line. Whether it's Reese, Adam or Nancy, they can't trust these media who are doing evil for sales—but this year is Reese's most likely year to win an Oscar, except for Jennifer Jefferson in "The Fifth Sally" Apart from that, the other favorable candidates for nominations are all accompanying runners. Reese's "Indomitable Action" and Jennifer Jefferson were evenly divided in December. Although Ferson has better film critics, but the type of film suffers, the quality of the film itself is slightly inferior to the performance, and her qualifications are much lower than Reese's. It is very important for her to win an Oscar at such a young age. Hollywood has a strong symbolic meaning, and the judges will not give her the award so easily-this year is completely Reese's most hopeful, and it may be the only year that she is expected to win an Oscar!

When the atmosphere was so tense and faced with such a scandal, the team was even more surprised that Reese didn't lose her temper. Nancy bit her lower lip and walked back and forth a few steps, "So, now we can't do anything except pray that netizens will suddenly lose interest?"

"It looks like this." Adam sighed, "We absolutely need a strong online public opinion control partner after this incident, I will bring this up at the company's regular meeting, Nancy, I promise next year Nothing like this will happen—"

"Reese may not have a chance to be nominated next year!" Nancy raised her voice, "For God's sake, thanks to Michelle Williams's mediocre performance this year, otherwise Reese would have been very good this year." It's hard to have a show, but why did such a thing happen this year?——Are you sure no one is behind us?"

"That's the Internet, Nancy." Adam's tone was also full of irritability, "Internet community! If it's the National Enquirer, OK, I'm sure they will admit who is dealing with Reese, or even TMZ Such a website is not without insider information, but it is an online community, full of spontaneous gatherings of netizens. If we can't find a good online public opinion control company, who can? - Nancy, I know this is very Difficult to swallow, but I'm afraid we have to admit that Reese was just downright unlucky that some **** **** decided to write a post out of boredom, he wrote it, and then more shameless **** clicked and retweeted thinking it would do something to reality Influence... God, if I know who he is—but anyway, the fact is the way it is, and you have to accept it. Besides, knowing who the other party is is not useful, Nancy, this is not a bet, it is a competition In a fast game, we run ahead, and all the parties behind have reasons to pull us down, it's as simple as that.”

"But—" Nancy twisted the bridge of her nose.

"You're right, now is not the time to pursue these things—" A hand suddenly took the phone from Nancy's hand, and Reese Witherspoon pressed the speaker button with a blank expression. The other side of the phone said that to Nancy's surprised expression, she just explained, "Your scream is enough to wake up the dead."

The first-line Hollywood actress was obviously in a bad mood, but she had also regained her senses. She walked back and forth on the terrace a few times, pulling her nightgown tightly. "Don't ask whether someone is behind the scenes. The damage in this area is beyond control, and we can only wait for it to fade away naturally. What we can do is to guard against the paper media. After all, most Oscar judges are indifferent to online public opinion, and Now what we need to do is bring others into the water and expand the situation - Jennifer Jefferson has always had the best public relations in the industry, which probably means she has a lot of stories in the print media, and I can double them For the price, bring these scandals out, anything, drugs, big names, alcohol, feuds - and her fiancé Josh Blanche, anyway, we need anyone who can deal with them story."

After she finished talking about her countermeasures, Reese felt a little more relaxed. She sighed softly and waited for Adam and Nancy's enthusiastic response. After all, this was the best countermeasure she came up with after repeated thinking— —

But neither Nancy nor Adam on the phone kept an ominous silence on her thoughts, and Reese began to have some bad premonitions, "What's wrong? What's wrong with this idea?"

"Actually, this is a good idea." Nancy said cautiously, "so Adam and I thought of it on the first day the news fermented..."

"And then?" Reese's chest began to heave, "Tell me, then?"

"Ask it all." Adam sighed on the other end of the phone, "Nothing, Reese, this girl is a **** saint, no buried stories, no shady news, she's so boring Obnoxious - and she's filming in the South right now, so chances are we won't get any news anytime soon..."

"Shit!" Reese grabbed the phone and threw it on the ground, "Holymother*!"

Nancy grabbed her mobile phone in fear. She glanced at the phone, and a thought came to her mind—in fact, there is no way to deal with Jennifer Jefferson. It's not that this girl doesn't hire PR, on the contrary, she hires the best PR company. The ones she took in the awards in December are not because Reese's performance is not good enough, but because Reese's PR fees are not as good as hers. Almost all the awards for which Reese's public relations budget is not strong are swept away by her, and although every celebrity is just giving money, who knows what those public relations will do in order to win awards for clients ?

As long as a scandal can be uncovered and the money exchange between them can be caught, it will be a big scandal, enough to bring Jennifer and Reese back to the same starting line, and even this pair of Jennifer with low qualifications would be more disadvantageous. But...

But exposing the tacit unspoken rules among public relations companies is tantamount to making an enemy of the entire industry. Adam will definitely not agree to handle this matter for her, and I am afraid that the newspapers will not expose such news— —If the traditional paper channels are used, then not only all PR companies will be hostile to Reese and her, but also the award judges will have a bad impression of Reese, which will make Reese a public enemy of two industries in the future: PR companies and Awards, which essentially killed Reese — and her career.

Or go online? Hire those opinion control companies to spread such news? As long as there is some real evidence, it will also have an impact on Jennifer Jefferson. The key lies in the factual evidence...

Nancy took a look at her client, but she still didn't make up her mind: It's not difficult to get black material from a public relations company, but the problem is that the agent is instinctively wary of the network that she doesn't know very well. Heart, she didn't know if she had the ability to handle this matter well after getting rid of Adam, after all, once it was exposed, it would bring great trouble to herself and Reese.

However, this is Reese's only chance after all. This year is simply a year made for Reese to win awards-except for her and Jennifer Jefferson, there is almost no female candidate in the Oscar circle who can compete , if she can't get it this year, based on Nancy's understanding of her client's strength, even if there are good works in the future, in the Oscar year, Reese's strength is not enough to win the award...

"Adam, are you still there?" Nancy took a deep breath, and she waved to Reese, who was restlessly looking at the distant scenery, and motioned her to come to the phone, "Actually, I have a Thoughts, the paper media will definitely not discredit Jefferson, but maybe we can take advantage of the Internet..."

The author has something to say: Note: The 2006 Oscar candidates include "Good Night, Good Luck", "Capote", "Brokeback Mountain", "Crash", "Indomitable Action", etc. If you are interested, you can Baidu to find out

About the voting rules for the Oscars, the explanation in the article is actually not very correct, because it would take too long to explain it clearly. You can Baidu "Oscar nominations and best picture are produced in this way", this article makes it very clear.

By the way, I forgot that there were two Best Actresses in the Golden Globe Awards, so Jenny is a double-nominated heroine, not one lead and one supporting role
