Hollywood Domination Chapter 447: Catelyn’s dream interview

"We yearn for all the good things, but reject the price behind all the good things. I think Mentos is such a child who can't grow up. This journey of life looks like Coke's life at first glance, but it's not Mantos. A journey for Toss to sort himself out and clarify himself? Coke and Mentos are the opposite sides of the coin, and this story creates this horrifying and humorous narcissus love song, Mantos and Coke, in addition to all the beautiful scenery. The relationship between them is not so much love as it is how a person accepts himself. When I saw the scene where the old Mantos took good care of the young Coke, I couldn't help laughing in surprise——Sa Ervi is really bold, and Jennifer and Heath, two of the most talented young actors in Hollywood, are really good at acting and dare to act..."

"I read Douban movie reviews and went to buy tickets. I made a small complaint. Imax is too difficult to buy tickets. I finally bought it at 10 o'clock in the morning on Sunday. It's just a corner, haha! Fortunately, my daughter-in-law Don’t blame me—the movie is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the story is thought-provoking! Too profound to say, so I think it’s worth chewing over and over again. When will the download version be released?”

"35 details you must know about "Life Journey"."

"The truth behind "Life Journey" is revealed. Mentos is actually a fictional character imagined by Coke? The evidence is as follows—"

Perhaps in North America and globally, the opening of "Life Journey" is far from being comparable to "Code Name Shero", but in mainland China, the opening of this movie is not inferior to "Code Name Shero", or even "Code Name Shero". "Avatar" - this is not because the commercial nature of "Life Journey" can surpass "Avatar", or because the audience's appreciation level in mainland China has suddenly increased greatly. Such a phenomenon occurs, mainly because in the past In the past few years, the Chinese market has doubled in size every year—such an astonishing rate of expansion and an exponentially developing market have made the box office numbers created by "Avatar" less difficult to surpass—— As far as the box office ratio is concerned, "Life Journey" is still not as good as "Avatar", but in this relatively cold market in early November, it still contributed more than 70% of the box office to the market.

"The romantic temperament of this movie has attracted the attention of Chinese audiences, and it has also created a series of good single-day box office performances in the mainland, and even showed a magical reversal trend-after the opening of the first week , with the spread of word-of-mouth and the rising ratings on the Chinese movie website Douban, the box office of "Life Journey" has been rising steadily. So far, more than 300,000 people have logged on to Douban to rate "Life Journey". The film critics of the film gave it a high score, and praised it as a "movie that captures the essence of Eastern reincarnation and Yin-Yang thought."

After typing this line in Word, Caitlin, the young editor of "People" magazine stretched, opened the box office website to watch the report, and then returned to the document. "In North America, this film exuding philosophical speculation has also been well received by the audience, 'This film is like a work of art, combining phenomenal thinking and stories well, and of course there are beautiful scenes. The picture, this high degree of unity is something I haven’t seen in other films’, film critic Alan Morrison said, ‘It reminds me of painting sculptures...it tells a story itself, not the director Force it on you.'”

"On the mobile phone ticketing software Tikt, "Life Journey" also got its 30,000th comment, which is also among the best in the number of movie comments on Tikt. The audience of this movie seems to be particularly concerned about it. Enthusiasm, and as of the time of the interview, "Life Journey", which was released for one and a half months, has received a box office of 190 million yuan in North America, and the global box office has exceeded 700 million. What makes it unique among box office blockbusters is that it also receives awards. As a result, Jennifer also won the countless nominations in her career and became the darling of the Sentinel Awards. Like her, Hollywood filmmakers also paid close attention to Heath Ledger. However, unlike the general Oscar-nominated films, you can hardly see the leading actors at those commercial dinners, except for Heath Ledger who will attend similar public relations occasions, although Jennifer In Los Angeles, she seems to be refusing to do awards PR for "Life Journey". Is this a new attitude she has shown for the awards ceremony? After six months of marriage, she and her ex-husband Cesare Vijay There are still couples in the house, and they are often photographed appearing in the big dream movie at the same time. How should Jennifer balance the relationship between the two? There are recent rumors about her relationship with the film producer Samson..."

Sweeping the time in the lower right corner of the screen, Caitlin gave an 'opps' in a low voice, hurriedly finished typing the draft of the introduction, stood up and swept the sundries on the desktop into the bag, "Make way, Make way, the interview is going to be late—"

It was too late to go to the parking lot to pick up the car, so I hailed a taxi. Caitlin stepped into the spacious office of Dream Movie—she looked around curiously, and secretly evaluated the big dream movie. Dream and the similarities and differences of independent film companies such as Lions Gate Peak, and at the same time went to the front desk to express their intentions.

"Hey, Mary, I'm not late, am I?" After being taken outside the office, seeing that the door was still closed and there seemed to be no one inside, Kaitlyn's heart ached. Assistant and her acquaintance Mary Effie, she hurried forward to greet her. "I don't think I should be late—"

"Oh, of course you didn't, but j.j is in a meeting now." Mary showed her trademark friendly smile-her expression is quite well-known in the industry, especially paparazzi and reporters, calling it 'Mary Angel Smile', she usually uses it in two ways: when giving benefits, to deepen the goodwill; when making excessive demands, use it to evoke the memory of the other party. "Caitlin, can I have a look at the interview outline first?"

"Of course." Caitlin, who secretly raised her guard, took out an outline and handed it over, and at the same time repeated several times in her heart the sensitive questions that she was planning to raid later: The theme of this interview should revolve around "Life Journey", but Caitlin didn't think that the readers of "People" would be interested in such a simple interview. No matter how the content of the interview was distorted in the final publication, she was going to try to dig out Jennifer's private life—at least, The editor-in-chief Tina can see her ability, and with the interview content and PR bargaining results, she can also get more exclusive photos for the magazine, which is a good bargaining chip for her job promotion.

She showed the same kind smile to Mary who was reviewing the outline, "—Of course, please go ahead and read."

Mary snorted absently, her eyes flicked across the paper quickly, and Kaitlyn looked at the designer clothes on her with envy: Mary Effie was about her age, but she inadvertently revealed Shrewdness, and the sense of aloofness that has seen the world and worked with the best talents in the world, all made her feel a little ashamed.

Just as she was thinking this way, there was a commotion in the distance of the passage. Mary raised her head and glanced over there, a trace of anxiety flashed across her face. She lifted the paper and obviously accelerated the speed of review. And Kaitlyn stretched her neck, looking at the other end expectantly—several people walked towards the office surrounded by familiar faces, and besides Jennifer Jefferson, she recognized Jim Davidson at once, Hollywood The most famous Internet public opinion control expert Judy Ackerman, the number one in the Hollywood PR power list, and——

"Paul, can you send me the growth report of the Chinese market in the past five years? The bar chart I saw before is quite good." Wearing a white suit and professional makeup, he looks like a professional in the workplace Jennifer said absent-mindedly as she walked forward, while the most high-profile data analyst in Hollywood, China Hand Paul Dergarabidean nodded, and turned to the other side of the road while flipping through the folder .

Jim Davidson immediately filled his vacancy. He sneakily leaned against Jennifer's ear and whispered a few words. Jennifer also lowered her voice to talk to him. Soon, he also nodded and left the team. Turn around and walk to the other side of the passage.

"About the last round of Oscar promotion..." Judy Ackerman quickened her pace and surpassed Jim. Go-getters approached him, but he didn't put on airs at all, "After the interview with "People" magazine——ah, she's already here."

"Caitlin Murray," Caitlin quickly jumped up, and extended her hand politely to Jennifer, "Senior editor of People."

"Hi, nice to meet you." Jennifer shook her hand, and her eyes drifted to her side at the same time - Caitlin noticed that Mary Effie nodded slightly, and at the same time returned the outline to the Jennifer said, "But we have limited time, so——"

Different from the stars she knew, Caitlin was a little surprised to find that Jennifer—although she played so many complex and spiritual roles, her way of thinking seemed to be very different from those romantic and casual artists. She could feel the sound of Jennifer's brain working in her skull, clack-clack, like a fast and precise machine, high performance, great multitasking, very—entrepreneurial, and yes The kind that is quite pragmatic, definitely not the passionate entrepreneurial type of 'let's change the world'.

"Of course, of course." She squeezed her sweaty palms and walked into the office with Jennifer. "Water is fine, thank you."

Mary Effie personally poured two glasses of water for them. Caitlin noticed that Jennifer also drank pure water instead of beverages: so she is still so self-disciplined in body management, just like the rumors in the industry. Every year is like a day.

After turning on the recorder, the eyes of the two sides met for a while. Jennifer looked at her innocently, while Caitlin's mind went blank. One, "shit! I'm sorry, I'm sorry-I didn't mean to waste your time."

Compared to the rational entrepreneur just now, Jennifer is much more relaxed now. She took a few glances at the outline in front of Caitlin, "Is it understandable—a newcomer?"

"It's the first time to interview an actor of your level independently," Caitlin admitted, "I think I was confused by your anger just now-it's like moths to a flame, you really have that It is a kind of charm that makes people forget it."

"And it's really not surprising that you got this independent interview opportunity," Jennifer's eyes flashed with a gentle smile, and she joked in an approachable way, "You are so good at complimenting— —The point is that the expression is still so sincere, maybe you should be an actor."

It looks like the interview is going to be off to a good start, Caitlin's heartbeat is a little faster, she can't believe her good luck - it looks like Jennifer is in a really good mood, she is completely relaxed and chatting , rather than a professional interview attitude, and this—the probability of this kind of thing—

In fact, this time Caitlin was able to get an independent interview opportunity entirely because Jennifer was recognized as the most boring interviewee in the industry. "—Whether you are a veteran or a novice, you can only get the same interview recording from her, understand? Her shell is indestructible. Before the interview, her team planned the final amount of information in the interview. She Never give you one more point, and certainly not one less. That hasn't changed in the 11 years since her first interview." That's what her editor-in-chief, Tina Dimon Describing Jennifer, she was the interviewer for Jennifer's first cover story. "So, you want to go? Sure, why not? As long as you don't punch her in the face, you can always come home with an interview in the end."

"Oh, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, because these words are indeed from the heart." Caitlin covered her heart and said half-jokingly. She observed Jennifer's expression carefully and affirmed herself again My guess: Jennifer wasn't pretending to be relaxed, she seemed to be relaxed, and this also made Kaitlyn feel a moment of panic-how should she take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Damn, she wasn't prepared at all...

In the end, she could only adapt and respond intuitively, "After all, I have always been your fan-really, you have conquered me since "Monroe", your beauty, and that A kind of aura performance, and most importantly, the huge difference between her and the real you - can I ask how you do it? You know, the usual you - just now, and the dream in the movie Dew—"

"Yes, yes," Jennifer also showed a happy smile, and it can be seen that Caitlin's compliment did make her a little proud, "I understand your problem-making movies, acting in movies and managing There is indeed a big difference between a company. When I was in Dameng Films, there is no doubt that what people expect to see is efficient decision-making, calm and objective strategic judgment-but when you act in a movie, this That's a whole other story."

"So how do you switch between these two roles?" Caitlin asked curiously, she had already decided to ignore the interview outline. "And—don't think I'm flattering you again—how did you do such a good job in both fields?"

"To a certain extent, I have a very good external environment. My CEO Cesare can take good care of the company when I leave to film," Jennifer held her chin and rushed to Caitlin She smiled knowingly, as if silently laughing at her excitement at the mention of 'Cesare', her sparkling green eyes gave a sly glance, and the corners of her lips turned up , showing her white teeth, Caitlin couldn't help feeling a commotion: I can't feel it from the screen, but in reality Jennifer is really 'spiritual', quick to respond and understand people's hearts, has a deep sense of humor and tolerance, and Her charm——that smile just now made even this woman feel a little bit of a heartbeat. “And when I came back to L.A., the corporate business allowed me to get out of the role very quickly, like two stilts, and they helped me keep the freshness of the work so that I could make great strides. "

"Very ingenious metaphor." Caitlin came back to her senses, and praised sincerely—she felt that her fan mentality seemed to be getting heavier, and the polite words tended to come true. "It's also a very good solution, because when we were filming "Monroe", we all knew that the unpleasant incident--"

"Yes, but this is no longer a problem." Jennifer did not pretend to be stupid, but nodded readily and admitted, "Of course your understanding of acting is constantly improving, maybe you felt that you were too deep into the drama at that time It's nerve-wracking, but I can handle it pretty well now."

"It seems to be a characteristic of you, you have been changing - your acting skills, your role, this time "Life Journey" is also a big breakthrough - and this also includes your attitude towards awards Is it?" Caitlin seized the opportunity to ask back to the question, which is also a question she didn't write in the outline, ""Life Journey" should be the highest-grossing film among the nominated films this year, but you hardly give it awards. Is this because your perception of the award has changed?"

"If I had no interest in awards at all, I wouldn't be doing your interview," Jennifer's answer made Kaitlyn's mouth twitch: Well, it looks like she was really being honest today. "Of course I'm still very interested in awards, nobody doesn't like accolades, but it's -- it's a late pursuit for me now, because you have a company and you don't always come back to it very often. Los Angeles, so you have to take care of it first, right? The awards are a compromise in comparison, and I'll do some more publicity when I get the chance, but—you know, since the best outcome is a nomination— —”

"Wow!" Kaitlyn couldn't help laughing, "I have to say, Jennifer, even though this is my first interview with you, you—really—behaved exactly as I expected. Not the same, I mean, I feel like I'm actually talking to you, rather than feeling like I'm just watching a video like the rest of the experience."

Amidst her somewhat daring comments, Jennifer also beamed with delight, her beautiful face gleaming like a black hole drawing Catherine's attention—a gleam of calm and joy that translated into Charm keeps her feeling strongly drawn, "Yes, yes, I know what you mean—"

She scratched her cheeks thoughtfully, "I used to have a very closed attitude towards the media, I only hoped that they would see what I let them see, but—it's like my attitude towards performances and awards Like the change in attitude, it may also be a gradual process.”

"So very relaxed now - can you ask why? Why is there such a shift?"

"To be honest, in the past, when your career was still on the rise, you would want the media to not cause trouble and interfere with development-but now we have passed that stage, so from the career requirements In terms of perspective, I don’t need to be so cautious anymore, I can share more of my true self with everyone—” Jennifer’s expression became gentle, “and another very important point—maybe now I’m becoming I am more confident, and I am no longer afraid to share."

"Confidence." Catherine suppressed the great excitement and repeated nonchalantly, "So, did you have low self-esteem before?"

"I wouldn't say I'm inferior...but it's true, now I'm more confident than before." Jennifer laughed - she winked at Catherine, as if seeing through her patience, and the latter couldn't help but be intoxicated After a while, "Of course everyone will have their own problems, so don't doubt, my life is not so good at the beginning, your original family - the impact on you is indeed difficult to change, This is a very long process that requires many opportunities.”

"Could you share the occasion for the most recent change?"

"Sorry - this isn't part of sharing."

"Okay." Caitlin laughed twice, and she protested coquettishly, "So what can I ask?"

"You can test it." Jennifer said, just like a challenge in a friend's chat, she held her chin and said with great interest, "Just try."

"Uh—what's your current relationship with Cesare?" Caitlin challenged boldly.

"Haha, you're very good at seizing opportunities, aren't you?" Jennifer spread her hands, "—that's pretty good, really, we started out as friends, so it's not difficult to be friends again."

Caitlin dared not go any further on the subject, she refrained from asking 'So what do you think of the person he dated recently' and asked, "So... have you had any new dates since your divorce?"

"Yes." Jennifer nodded, "but this is the privacy of both parties, so—"

"Of course," Caitlin said immediately, in fact, Jennifer's "has been" is already worth a thousand dollars, "then, the lunch you had with Samson before—"

"We're just talking about movies, there's a lot of other people's around." Jennifer rolled her eyes, "But of course you don't use those pictures that have other people around, do you?"

"So, isn't Samson your type?"

"He's a very attractive man, very good-tempered, very attractive, and I don't deny that I'm certainly more open to new love songs now-but the problem is that I don't have time, so, we There is really nothing in between.”

Samson was chasing her... Caitlin made a note mentally, but quickly laughed at herself: Is this news? Is it weird that someone is after Jennifer? "o--kay, so, do you mind talking about your intuition? You seem to have been reluctant to talk about it in detail before, but I have to ask, you know, this time the box office of "Journey of Life"--almost all of them now The media is discussing your intuition, is it really so effective?"

"Oh!" Jennifer laughed loudly, "This is a very sharp question——"

She overflowed with a somewhat mysterious smile, leaned her upper body out of the table, and lowered her voice jokingly—"Let me give you something serious?"

Caitlin couldn't help but hold her breath, "sure."

"——My intuition is indeed very keen, but I'm not a prophet. The box office predictions for "Avatar" and "Codename Shero" are based on a large amount of data analysis." Jennifer spread her hands, and she elongated her voice, "As for Journey - it's not my movie, so I'm not making predictions, and it's not an intuitive number, it's basically a random number I made up just to appease the producers, to be honest ——It’s completely a coincidence that I can guess.”

"Coincidence?" Caitlin couldn't help raising her voice.

"Yeah, coincidence—" Jennifer said affirmatively, "so it's really frustrating, you see, it's an aura that you don't want, people think you're stronger than you actually are Too much too much."

"Uh—" Caitlin said, blinking, wondering again if she was in the Twilight Zone. "Are you sure—are you telling me this, Jennifer? You know, this is—at least for you, it will be big news."

"It will make me a little headstrong, won't it? Even the box office can be used as a joke, making the film studio look like a joke--" Jennifer smiled and shrugged, "It's a big deal for me. Acceptable, really—I wish people would recognize more of the real me and less of the phony Wonder Girl."

"You think your personal image is a bit too perfect."

"At least there is a gap with myself, and there are many, many misunderstandings, for example-I didn't have the ability to accurately predict the box office by intuition, but now everyone thinks so, it is a big deal for me. a burden."

"And you intend to let everyone know more about you—" Caitlin couldn't believe what she was saying—it wasn't that she didn't believe in Jennifer's sincerity, but she just didn't believe in her own luck. "Wow, looks like I'll have to search my brains out to find more issues before your whim passes - take advantage of your PR and manager not being around -"

"It's not my goal to let people know more about me, I just don't want to groom myself too much, at least I will be more relaxed than before. So, yes, you can ask all kinds of questions as you can, If I think I want to answer—" Jennifer shrugged, but at the same time, her cell phone rang, "Oh—it's time—"

In Caitlin's great disappointment, Jennifer gave her a sweet smile, "Don't worry, this interview is just the beginning, you will get more news in our interviews in the future .”

"What I got today is enough to satisfy me." Caitlin said sincerely, she was still quickly reviewing the conversation just now in her mind, there are too many points that can be reported, her first time Disclosure of post-divorce relationship with Cesare? Her statement about her relationship status, her self-analysis... This will be the greatest report of her career. "Thank you very much, really, Jennifer, not only for taking time out of your busy schedule—"

As Jennifer listened to her words of thanks, she walked side by side to the door, and she smiled softly, "Oh, don't say that, it was a pleasure chatting with you—if I hadn't been really busy lately— —Look, I have close to 24 hours of work to do before I leave for San Francisco the day after tomorrow—”

When she opened the door for Caitlin, the latter realized that Jennifer had just personally delivered her to the door of the office——Jennifer, an Oscar-winning actress who is at the top of Hollywood's most powerful list, actually delivered her, an unknown person, to her office. to the door.

"You really don't have to—" She choked up a bit, barely swallowing the flattered humility, even though her heart was in turmoil, and she even had the urge to shed tears, she still said gracefully. "That's the price of success, isn't it? Thank you so much for your time, Jennifer, and I won't keep you--"

"Okay, I look forward to seeing you next time." Jennifer said, her eyes curved beautifully, as if seeing through her excitement again, "Goodbye, Caitlin."

Katelyn gritted her teeth hard to keep her legs from being weak. She waved goodbye to Jennifer and walked out of the reception hall with reserved steps—until she entered the elevator, she covered her mouth and let out a series of suppressed words. screaming, kicking the floor like hell: "ohmygod, ohmygod - I'm not dreaming - I'm really not dreaming - this report - no - j.j is so nice to me - no no! She is so beautiful—"

When Caitlin was completely unsure of what to be excited about, feeling the illusion that 'the entertainment industry is about to be shaken by this report', Jenny in the chairman's room stretched comfortably , recalling with relish the vivid micro-expressions on Caitlin’s face in the past 30 minutes, her colorful responses greatly entertained Jenny, and also made her exhaustion accumulated in the past few days disappear: “Compared to before , the interview became more fun.”

She didn't have too many concerns about the possible repercussions of this news, just as she said, now, moderate truth can no longer hurt her career, and Jenny is really really tired of it Rather than lying to the public, being honest really made her feel good, even liberating: maybe her personal image would suffer as a result, but—it was an acceptable loss, or rather, it was something that should be returned. true.

"Jenny." However, the good times didn't last long, and the knock on the door quickly brought her back to the real world - Cesare, with messy hair, stood at the door and gestured to her, " Small conference room, now -- we're only 48 hours away from our final presentation to GE."
