Hollywood Domination Chapter 279: Reward Mechanism

"Marvel wants me to appear in "Iron Man 2"?" Jenny asked, she walked into the small living room of the presidential suite, turned to Mary and said, "By the way, remember to remind me that we must I'm getting tired of staying in a hotel—"

Jim nodded to Jenny as a greeting, without grabbing Mary's words. At the same time, Mary said, "Are you buying it? Have you decided which house you want? However, the biggest question now is, I'm afraid we won't be able to spend 20 million in cash at once, because we have to spend so much money to buy the Marvel shares in Dameng's hands, remember?"

"Oh." Jenny groaned and covered her forehead, admitting, "I really completely forgot about it—good Mary, how did you manage to get over the effects of jet lag so quickly? What? I feel like I’m still dizzy right now, and I don’t even know if it’s morning or night.”

"It's half past nine in the morning in Los Angeles." Mary looked at her watch and poured Jenny a glass of iced milk. Because you still have a lot of things to do today, if you want to settle down on the house, then there are obviously more things to do."

"Forgive me," Jenny covered her face and lay down on the side of the dining bar, "I'm still living in the Olympics, don't wake me up, shhh, I heard the screams of the audience—中—— "

She suddenly realized that Cesare was not here, and after a short hesitation, she changed back to the politically correct rhetoric, "The little girls from China and the United States are competing fiercely in a group-what a pity , In the end we still lost to the Chinese girls with a slight disadvantage.”

"Yes, no one thought of this result before the game, did they?" Mary took part in the discussion with great interest without knowing it, "We also watched the game in the Maldives, and Nicholas specially tuned in." Alarm clock, and finally when Liukin and Sean screwed up one after another, we both cursed, and Nicholas just turned off the TV."

Although it is said that sportsmanship is about participation, for the audience, no matter which country looks at the game so detachedly, even the Americans like to see their players win gold medals, and set the alarm clock to watch the game in the middle of the night There are many, and in this regard, the patriotism of the American public is very strong, just like Mary, although she knows that Jenny has a close relationship with China, she never thought that Jenny would support Chinese players, so she counted her directly The part about "wanting to witness the United States win the championship" is gone, and of course Jenny can't admit that she actually stayed in Beijing to watch the competition in order to witness the women's gymnastics team win the championship. She estimates that this matter may exceed Mary's Bottom line, I can only talk about it in front of Cesare.

"It's really a pity, but Liu Jin finally won an all-around champion, and Sean..." While discussing sports, Jenny ate breakfast, and she finally felt better. Besides the contract with Warner, what else is there? The company should have nothing to do, right?"

"You are going back to the crew of "Nine" tomorrow to shoot some singing and dancing scenes, and to sign an equity transfer agreement with the company. Of course, there is a lot of work to be stamped and signed," Mary said while looking at her phone, " Oh, and this is it, Cesare wants to chat with you about "Iron Man 2" and the superhero movie we are planning. He wants to know if the two movies will conflict. Besides, "Dream The trailer of "Lu" is also out, this version is more important, you need to nod to release it, oh, also, Venice wants to know if you will attend this year's opening ceremony, they also hope to get "Monroe" The first appearance in Europe..."

"Charitable activities." Jim also interjected emphatically, "There are still some domestic charity activities that need to find a place in your schedule. This matter has a high priority and cannot be delayed."

Everything she talks about can cause Jenny a headache, but as a popular Hollywood movie star, producer, and studio owner, it is very normal to be entangled in chores, and this has already been selected by the team for her. The result of most of the work, such as charity activities in the country, is to pay off her decision to go to the Olympics before giving her. In order for Jenny's decision not to affect her public image, the entire team has put in a lot of public relations efforts and spent a lot of money on the big dream, so now the public still regards this as her concern for sports. There is no adverse reaction from the love and support of the film critics. Judging from the feedback of film critics, they have no prejudice against "Monroe". However, Jenny still needs to support some domestic sports charities before the public's thinking changes. activities, showing a special concern for the country, which is also a statement of pursuing political correctness. After all, no matter which country the people are in, they will not like their own celebrities to "eat the inside and outside"-it is for this reason that she is not right. What do you think about Sharon Stone's brain-dead remarks? On the one hand, she doesn't want to help this outdated movie star. On the other hand, no matter how anti-human Sharon's words are, as a person who supported the Chinese Olympics, Jenny's Criticism is still inappropriate and likely to provoke public rebellion, and may even lead to doubts about her patriotism.

Of course, this feeling of fatigue is just a short-term side effect of the long flight and jet lag. Generally speaking, Jenny is still in a very good mood now. She went to Beijing and solved several problems. In the end, I finally took a break for a while, watched a few exciting games, and there were also good news in my career. In addition to the pleasant talks with senior officials in Beijing, the high evaluation of "Monroe" after the preview meeting was also It made her a little excited. After all, this movie has carried too much of her. Although she is quite confident in it, she will definitely not be able to completely relax before it is recognized by the market.

Although she has lived in Beverly Hills for so many years, every time after launching a successful work, Jenny can't help but sigh with emotion about Hollywood's intuitive and cruel feedback system, and this time is no exception——in Hollywood's upper class In the circle, money is no longer the measure of success, because there is no doubt that any star, as long as there are no vices, earning money is a very simple matter, but they will still be dominated by the sense of accomplishment and frustration, and Where does this sense of accomplishment and frustration come from? The most fundamental point comes from their movies.

Jenny is a movie that has never failed. She doesn't know how those movie stars will feel after the movie hits the market. For her, as her career reaches a new peak every time, her new movie The movie shows signs of being a big hit, and there are always some difficult problems to solve, just like the contract with Warner. It was very difficult to negotiate, but now after the preview, Warner immediately changed its attitude. It can be said that it is almost compromised. She signed a contract with conditions that are very favorable to Dameng—of course, there is also Marvel's "Iron Man 2". At first, she was never asked to return, but now she is also calling, and the call is soft and gentle. Shareholder card, let her nod to act in the name of Marvel and her, the salary is of course negotiable, and there is no such thing as 'Marvel doesn't like actors who are not specific' at all.

Are they overwhelmed by her intelligence and charm? No, it's all because of her movie, your movie is OK, you are OK, the world is open for you, all of Hollywood is what you want, and once your movies start to fail, then you have to start with the lucky ones. **** on the throne, start working hard for your next movie, maybe super a-r will be a bit of a privilege, but that's just 'some', if you fail in a few movies in a row, you will taste the feeling of being ignored, People will still respect your money and your qualifications, but their attitude towards you will start to lose warmth, and you will clearly know that your emotions are irrelevant to them, which may be the reason for many big-name stars The reason for suffering from depression-for them, money can no longer bring happiness, and the admiration of those vague-faced fans is not so important. What they long for is the enthusiasm of their peers, directors, and even the set What they long for is the wonderful taste of being in the center of the world.

And Jenny has been immersed in this sense of accomplishment for so many years, just like now, "Monroe" has not yet been released, it is just an ideal preview meeting, which can make two big The company bowed to her and begged for mercy, and it could even be said to be a bit of a "kneeling and licking" feeling. In fact, she also knew intellectually that Warner and Marvel, as commercial companies, couldn't care about face and put on airs. If a low profile can make the company If they make a profit, their posture can be low to the center of the earth, but even so, this kind of contrast between the front and the back can still make her feel a strong sense of pleasure and accomplishment, of course, not to mention those film critics who are full of long stories. She even felt that after she had begun to consider giving up and returning to her original life, the reason why she did not have the desire to 'stop and enjoy life', but continued to run on the original track, In addition to the feeling of "you can't help yourself in the rivers and lakes", it is also because of your obsession with this sense of accomplishment. With your own hard work and ability, you can make the impossible possible and let the arrogant big company lower its noble head. For her, this feeling is even more enjoyable and addictive than love and sex...

"Let's sign the contract with Warner first. Robert and I have an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow. If we reach an agreement with Warner first, if Disney wants to cooperate with us to develop this shero movie, we can talk to Robert better. After flipping through a few newspapers these days, her lips curled up quickly. Jenny now likes to read movie reviews, especially those that praise her. This habit is different from when she became famous in "Pirates of the Caribbean" At that time, when she saw those praiseworthy words, she felt like watching a film critic praise others. She didn't feel it at all. After all, although she could deceive the whole world, she knew that this was Goldfinger's honor and had nothing to do with her. But now that’s not the case, every compliment is earned by her, just like a primary school student reading a teacher’s comment with relish, she is also reluctant to swallow these compliments, she has to savor them carefully , and this kind of reading is also like a shot of the best tonic, allowing her to cheer up quickly and make a decision efficiently-this is basically the daily work of the top decision-makers after the company is on the right track. "Let someone from Warner wait for me at the office with the contract. We'll go there now. We'll talk about the trailer and Iron Man 2 after that. Maybe I can have lunch with Chiesa. As for the Venice Film Festival On the other hand, I think it’s better to go there as far as possible, Salvi and I can make a public appearance there, and heat up the atmosphere—”

Her cell phone rang, and Jenny grabbed it as she said, "Hello?"

This is her private number, known only to a few people including Cesare, Mary, Jim, and Lilian, so Jenny's tone is quite casual. He asked again with a smile, "Hello? Is this Lilian? Listen to me, I will definitely go to try on the dress with you——"

"It's not Lilian." As if amused by Jenny's words, an old voice said unhurriedly on the other end of the phone, his tone was full of authority and control, although Jenny was sure she never He gave him his own phone number, but the person who spoke was still very calm, "It's Ron Perelman, Miss Jefferson, if you are free, I would like to meet you, maybe we can work together Dinner - if you have time tonight, my private jet will be waiting for you at Los Angeles Airport..."

Ron Perelman, the largest shareholder of Marvel, a billionaire, a famous person on the Forbes list, the wolf of Wall Street...

Jenny's eyes widened, and she didn't respond right away. Her heart was pounding: Although the model of 'movie success-career opens new prospects' is no longer unfamiliar to her, but in the face of Regarding Perelman's invitation, she still didn't know what to do, and she didn't even dare to let herself think too beautifully - Perelman is not a movie star, so it's impossible to treat her differently because of the success of "Monroe", right? If she would think so, it would seem that she felt a little too good about herself.

However, if it wasn't for "Monroe", why did Perelman find her...

However you look at it, this invitation alludes to a great career opportunity. Although she dare not think about it, her strong intuition tells Jenny that something she dare not think about seems to be very likely and will happen soon...
