Birth of an actor

William glared at Amon Goffman with only one meaning in his eyes: 'Who is this woman? ! '

"Let me haha, laugh for another 5 minutes and answer you!" Under William's murderous sight, Amon Goffman didn't really laugh for 5 minutes, but after fully expressing his gloating emotions, he directly introduced: "Barbara Wilson, one of the best publicists in town, Will I guess I need no introduction, Barbara."

After hearing the name Barbara Wilson, William remembered that Amon Goffman seemed to have told himself before that he needed a publicist, and he had already helped find a candidate. Could it be the Barbara Wilson in front of him? Bara?

Out of trust in his agent, William withdrew the uncomfortable expression he had shown before, and without asking any more questions, he stretched out his hand directly: "Nice to meet you, Barbara, you can call me Will directly. "

"Hello, Will, just now Ami made a mistake. I am not one of the best publicists, but I am the best." Barbara Wilson straightened her hair and held out her hand to William: "And my current publicist The first job is to pick out a dress for you to attend the premiere."

"Shut up, Barbie, I told you not to call me Amy."

Barbara Wilson suddenly lost her manners and yelled at Amon Goffman: "Then don't call me! Barbie!" Then she regained her composure within a second, bent her red lips towards William, and smiled on the surface. Say, "And you, honey, don't call me Barbie either, just Barbara."

"...OK, Barbara."

"Then let's get to work quickly." Barbara Wilson raised her chin like a queen and asked the shop assistant: "Are all the new seasons here?"

"Yes, ma'am." Armani's saleswoman smiled and said, "As for the suit you are looking at now, Tom Hanks just bought a suit yesterday afternoon."

"Tom Hanks?" Barbara Wilson's mouth twitched, and she turned to William and the others and said, "Let's go, Armani's color scheme for this season is too boring, it's too business-like, not suitable for vitality at all." Young people who are radiant, or go to Dior or Gucci, maybe Versace is also good."

The face of the Armani female clerk suddenly turned black.

Amon Goffman was still holding the shirt and tie he had just packed, thinking about what Barbara Wilson said just now, "It is not suitable for energetic young people at all", and suddenly felt like he was shot all over his body. Feeling full of holes.

William rubbed his nose, blinked at the female shop assistant apologetically, and walked out—William hoped that the next time he came to Armani, he would not be classified as a refusal account because of Barbara's pursuit of other brands, after all He still likes the elite style of Armani men's clothing. Although sometimes it is a bit too business-like, it is hard to go wrong no matter how you match it. Especially the tailoring of Italian tailors is a must. Occasionally there are very good boutiques in shirts and coats, and Italian leather shoes craftsmen. The workmanship is also very good, and the style and quality can stand the test of time.

Queen Barbara Wilson cleared the way with a bag on her shoulders, followed by William and Danny Bourne who seemed to be on vacation, and Armon Goffman followed behind with a few Armani handbags, like a bag carrier.Special standard: the one carrying the bag has the most stinky expression among the few.

"The shirt you chose is pretty good, and the pattern of the tie is also good." William deliberately slowed down his pace, and went hand in hand with Amon Goffman: "Barbara said that Armani is not good, probably because she hates Tom Hanks aesthetic, or to knock you on purpose, it’s not like you really think Armani is bad.”

Amon Goffman's complexion immediately improved: "Of course I believe in your aesthetics more, Will."

"So, Barbara Wilson, she's a great publicist?"

"I have known Barbara for many years. She is undoubtedly the best in media public relations. She is best at exchanging scandals about other stars for journalists not to expose scandals about her own actors, or making small noises. The gossip has covered up the deadliest crisis, but in terms of clothing styling, when the inspiration comes, she will perform very well, the kind that even fashion designers will praise, but when there is not much inspiration, she will perform very well. Her collocation is too strange, for example, at a party, she was all white from head to toe, even her hair, eye shadow and nail polish, the whole person seemed to be piled out of snow, she was a little neurotic."

"...Since she is a publicist, not a professional fashion consultant, why should she choose the premiere dress for me?"

Amon Goffman pouted and said: "Because her name is Barbie, but her biggest interest is to dress others up as Barbie. I don't think she has much taste in dressing mature men."

William was a little speechless.

"But it's all worth it." Amon Goffman patted William on the shoulder and comforted him: "Her name is Wilson, Will, and her father was once a partner of Rogers and Cowan."

Rogers and Cowen are the most famous public relations companies in Hollywood, and their status in the public relations field is probably similar to WMA or CAA in the brokerage field.

In fact, public relations is also a standard requirement for some well-known actors in Hollywood, just like agents, managers, lawyers, and accountants.

Hollywood public relations are divided into celebrity public relations and film public relations. The main work of celebrity public relations is to carry out around the stars, responsible for maintaining the image of stars, helping stars solve all troubles, etc., ranging from solving scandals that can kill their professional lives to choosing suits for stars Formal dresses are all considered, and the most common job is to help celebrities deal with the media, arrange interviews, talk shows, street photography, gossip, etc.The scope of film public relations is huge. Every film needs marketing planning, marketing promotion, and publicity campaigns. Li's PR is gone.

For example, Dale Olsen, the most famous publicist in Hollywood, is the senior partner of Rogers and Cowan. This top celebrity publicist born in the 30s was active in the golden age of Hollywood. Superstars have dealt with each other, such as Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Crawford and Steve McQueen, etc., and Dale Olson's most famous public relations behavior is to help Deep Closet for decades, He even used a fake marriage to conceal his homosexuality, but unfortunately contracted AIDS, which caused turmoil throughout the United States. Rock Hudson confessed his illness to the public and came out of the closet. You must know that it was in 1985, when the world was most afraid of AIDS The era of Rock Hudson finally became the first American public figure to die of AIDS. His death was not entirely negative, but brought many positive effects. For example, the US government increased its Research on AIDS.

William now had no doubt that Barbara Wilson could make a good publicist, she had the natural resources to succeed in the business.

Networking is one of the necessities for success in any circle, especially in Hollywood.

"As long as you can endure Barbara's occasional desire to dress up, Will, she will bring you rich rewards." Amon Goffman raised his eyebrows and said, "You know, how many people in Hollywood want to be She doesn't even like Barbara dressing up, Barbara likes you, Will."

In the next few hours, William deeply understood what it meant to be "dressed up like a Barbie"——

Black Versace suit, white stand-up collar shirt, shirt with the first two buttons unbuttoned, no tie.

"Well, it's great, but the design is too ordinary." Barbara Wilson said, holding her chin: "I want to be more eye-catching."

The Dior three-piece suit is all white from the inside to the outside, with a narrow waist style, no tie, and a goose yellow scarf for matching.

"How is it?" Barbara Wilson was so excited that she almost danced on her five-inch high heels: "White and light yellow, it's a wonderful match, isn't it? It almost echoes your current blonde hair."

William is now thinking about dyeing his blond hair back. Standing in front of the full-length mirror, he feels strange to himself in the mirror: "I look like a playboy." The all-white suit is slightly exaggerated and unrealistic The color of the clothes, the choice of using a scarf instead of a tie, really made William feel like those playboys who returned to the Hamptons from Manhattan, New York for vacation in the summer, and every day besides driving a yacht to pick up girls, they held parties to pick up girls.

"And it's the kind of playboy who will blush and heartbeat when girls see it, and the people who chase after you line up the whole beach but will never ask for love and marriage, because they are too insecure." Danny Byrne added.

Amon Goffman began to snicker again: "The male version of Marilyn Monroe hahahaha."

Fendi brown fur coat, light gray suit inside, black crocodile shoes.

"Seriously?" William tried his best not to roll his eyes: "Do I look like an Emirati tycoon who immigrated to London?"

Amon Goffman covered his forehead: "Animal protection rights groups will kill us, absolutely."

Even Danny Byrne couldn't help saying: "My God, this is Los Angeles and not New York and Boston. Wearing fur? It's going to be hot to death."

Fendi black cropped leather jacket, black half sleeve tight T-shirt, black leather boots.

"Very well," William said, "I'm the boss of the gang now."

"More like a killer," Danny Byrne said.

Amon Goffman rolled his eyes: "When Will is going to shoot a Harley commercial, you can choose this outfit for him, Barbara. Now, can you be a normal person?"

"This is my normal aesthetic." Barbara Wilson bit her nails and said, "Don't you think it looks like Maran Berondo in "Speed ​​Drive"? It's hot."

William smiled at Barbara Wilson. "I like your answer."

"I love you more, sweetheart." Barbara Wilson looked at William with two red hearts in her eyes: "You are the most plastic model I have ever seen! The most competent actor! No matter what clothes Putting it on you seems to exude a strong personal charm immediately! You can perfectly compatible with the darkest image and the most angelic temperament, it is simply the Barbie doll I have dreamed of since I was a child!"

William & Amon & Danny: "..." Jesus Christ, send an angel to stop Barbara Wilson!

Fortunately, William was not tortured for a long time. When he walked in front of the Hermès flagship store at 434 Rodeo Drive, Barbara Wilson's high-heeled shoes were stuck in front of the window and could not be removed.

"Wow, this one is good." Danny Byrne exclaimed.

William nodded in agreement.God, tastes finally agreed.

……

On December 12, "Scream" will have its midnight premiere in more than 20 theaters across the United States.

From the very beginning, the box office of "Scream" didn't worry the producers too much. Not to mention that horror movies are the same as romantic movies, and they are the least profitable genre in Hollywood. One of the producers Harvey Weinstein is one of the famous "Weinstein Brothers" in Hollywood. The quality of the films he checks will never be too bad. Director Wes Craven is also a well-known "horror film expert". There have been a group of loyal fans since "Nightmare on Elm Street", as well as starring William Bradley. His personal homepage in IDMB has a frighteningly high number of views, almost on the same level as Brad Pitt, "Friends" Courteney Cox, one of the leading actors, and a guest appearance by Spielberg's goddaughter Baru Barrymore are also very exciting. In short, "Scream" has little chance of losing money.

However, although "Scream" is generally believed to not lose money, it is hard to say how promising it is. After all, horror thrillers have flourished in Hollywood as a genre since the 30s. Now Hollywood produces four to five hundred movies a year, at least a hundred of which are related to horror and thrillers. For decades, various themes and tricks have been played by film companies, and it is difficult to come up with new ideas—— Like romantic movies, it is not easy to lose money, another synonym for not easy to lose money is that it is not easy to explode, otherwise the global box office is 5000 million, and it can only be ranked at the bottom of the box office in the global film history. "Four Weddings" And a Funeral, doesn't leap to one of the genre's best spots.

When Mimi Max decided to release "Scream" in thousands of theaters at midnight on Thursday, "Entertainment Weekly" was worried and said: "The midnight show will be shown in thousands of theaters, and it will be released in more than 2000 theaters on weekends. It will lower the box office of the film in a single theater." Tabloids such as the "National Enquirer" even laughed and said: "The unwritten rule of film companies and theaters: a film is shown in theaters for a week, but the box office revenue If it does not reach $3000, the theater can decide not to show the movie at its own discretion. How many movies that think they are great have a vigorous release at the beginning, but the theater line has shrunk sharply after a few days of release, and some even completely It was sold offline on DVD/VCD, "Scream" is just one of the hundreds of horror thrillers that Hollywood produces every year, so I have too much confidence in myself, so be careful not to fall badly."

——The film critics who have participated in the preview have not yet released their own comments, so it is no wonder that many media want to bad-mouth "Scream".

However, if the reporters of "Entertainment Weekly" and "National Enquirer" saw the grand ticket purchases in theaters across the United States on Thursday night, they would probably be too embarrassed to continue talking, and even the theaters were responsible for checking tickets. The staff who entered the venue were very surprised: "Tomorrow is Friday, right? It's not even the weekend, right... Tonight's midnight screening seems to have a lot of customers, and the attendance rate is a bit high?"

In big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc., long queues have already formed at the entrance of the theater half an hour before the ticket sales. "Jurassic Park" uses special effects as a selling point, but the subject matter is more traditional horror thriller, the midnight show does not have such an attendance rate.

Columbus, Ohio State University junior Victor is in line to buy tickets at the movie theater with his girlfriend Rachel Collins, William Bradley's crush, and Victor is very jealous of it (although Most of this jealousy is about William Bradley's appearance), more than half a month ago, when he heard his girlfriend talk about the release of Bradley's new movie every day and asked him to watch it with him, Victor still refused Yeah, he thought it was another love movie like "Sense and Sensibility" or "Romeo and Juliet Modern Edition" - should he, a future lawyer who has no interest in romantic love movies at all, just sit in the movie theater and listen to it? Are countless girls chattering about their admiration for the "classic nobleman" in their minds?Pooh!

It wasn't until a few days ago when Victor was flipping through the newspaper that he suddenly learned that William Bradley's new movie "Scream" was a horror movie, his interest suddenly increased: girlfriend Rui Qiu is a loyal fan of romantic movies, a literary young woman, and has never seen many horror movies. Shouldn't he, as a boyfriend, accompany her to escort her?In case Rachel gets scared when she sees a scary place, her arms can still accommodate her to hide and cry. ←_←

Chicago, Roger Ebert declined his wife's company - "Scream is not suitable for you, my dear, you have a bad heart, why don't I accompany you to see Tom Cruise tomorrow "Mr. Sweetheart"?" - planning to go to the theater to buy another ticket for "Scream", even though he had already seen this movie at the preview.

Jonathan, a Harvard sophomore and member of the LGBT community who is home for the Christmas holidays in New York, got dressed up and was about to go out to watch a movie and then go to a bar to have fun.

While waiting for the movie to start, a middle-aged man tried to strike up a conversation with him: "Hey, beauty, I heard that this movie is terrible, do you want me to watch it with you?"

Jonathan glanced at the man with heavy smoky eyes and said, "Am I afraid of horror movies? Ha! Get the hell out of me, now."

"You, you're a man?!" The middle-aged man's jaw almost dropped in shock. His eyes kept going back and forth on Jonathan's long blond hair, eyes with smoky makeup, and black high-heeled shoes on the soles of his feet. The rough male voice that I heard might be my own illusion.

Jonathan stroked the wig on top of his head, and said without surprise, "Have you ever seen a cross-dressing lover? How ignorant."

In Boston, sisters Shanna Evans and Carly Evans, who have turned [-], went to the cinema to watch "Scream". When queuing up to buy tickets, Carly Evans pouted and said : "I don't even have a group photo, and I said I had a road trip with William Bradley, who would believe it? Just don't take Chris out to watch a movie, never."

As the eldest sister, Shanna did not hesitate to tell her brother Christopher Evans that he was lying: "Maybe Chris is telling the truth? You see, he did guest star in a TV show in New York in the summer. There is also the business card of the WMA agent, although we can't find out whether Amon Goffman is William's agent, but that is the WMA, we have all heard of it, it does not seem to be fake."

Carly Evans wobbled a bit, but was quick to say firmly: "If it's true, then I want to kick Chris' ass even more - why doesn't he even have a picture?!"

Sister Carly and younger brother Chris are like two donkeys. There have been countless wars at home in the past six months. Shana Chris shook her head helplessly and amusedly: "You guys."
