atypical hollywood life

"Listen to me, Pat, Tom, before the final nominations start, you must act quickly. If the judges don't enter the movie theater, help them in, send tickets to the movie theater closest to their home, and book the best for them. Nice box. If it doesn't work, send the video recorder and video tape."

After a pause, "The most important thing is to make customized movie souvenirs. If you have female relatives and friends at home, you can order high-end cosmetics. If you don't have female relatives and friends, you can give them a razor or branded sunglasses. Anyway, we have the final say on vampires. No one else can do anything about insisting that this is a souvenir of the movie. This year is the best time, as long as you get an award, everything is worth it.”

Margaret said very seriously, I believe that the two people on the opposite side know what she means. In the future, there will be no dead author and depression to escort him. This year's momentum has become like this, and they must make sure There is no possibility that this award will fall into other people's pockets. If you can't get the little golden man in this way, you will simply give up the desire to win the award.As for nominations, what good is no award nomination?Just like the Golden Globes, ten Golden Globes are not as good as an Oscar, so let's rest first!

Tom Cruise took a deep breath, calmed down, and then calmly said: "Just do it, Pat, contact the PR company, you can't settle this matter alone, we must do it without offending the entire Hollywood community." To do this under certain conditions, everything must be kept low-key and confidential.”

He knew in his heart that what Margaret said was right, his face was the biggest obstacle to winning the award, "Born on the Fourth of July", which can be regarded as a politically correct movie tailored for the Oscars He was not allowed to get the statuette, but an Englishman got it. It was the same in "Rain Man" earlier. The film critics praised him, and the public opinion also praised him, but Oscar always closed the door to him.As Margaret said, this opportunity will not come again in the future. If I can’t get this little golden man again this time, I will obediently give up and not play with Oscar in the future. Every time I am walked, it is really painful nausea.

Pat Kingsley sighed, feeling a little heavy, Tom probably planned to burn the boat this time, Oscar is such a tormenting little elf.

"I will contact the pr company. To commemorate the surrounding area, I will go to Braun to discuss the razor business in person tomorrow. As for other souvenirs, I tend to prefer cufflinks, perfumes, leather goods, and skin care products. This is too far away from the theme of the movie, and not every woman likes to change skin care products frequently, lipstick and accessories are a good choice." Pat Kingsley pondered for a while to make a plan.

"In addition, there is still nearly a month before the start of the final voting. We can do something else during this time. My opinion is to cooperate with luxury brands to launch perfumes for movies, cufflinks, leather goods, accessories. and cosmetics, this will make the judges who receive souvenirs feel happier. As for the brand, I will advance it while negotiating with Braun..."

"As for the brand, I think I can help." Margaret said suddenly.

Blinking, "If you have time, I can call Mr. Givenchy right now to make an appointment."

She is familiar with this business. French fashion brands have always been sought after by Americans. Givenchy is one of the top luxury brands. Since another Ms. Hepburn famously wore it, this brand has been in the high end. It is not only a clothing brand, but also has many sub-brands. It has all the things that Pat just said.Since this is the case, why bother to find other sponsors?There are only a few hundred gifts in the area, which is not worth mentioning compared to the sales to the public.

Pat Kingsley's eyes lit up, it would be great if there was Givenchy's sponsorship.

"This is great. I will go to Warner to discuss this matter in the afternoon and try to get the authorization issue as soon as possible."

It would be great if it is a sponsorship, which can save a lot of money and the flow of funds will be much more abundant.But how to deal with Warner's gang and Geffen is a problem, but it's nothing more than arguing with each other, and the time is too tight, so they don't dare to delay for too long in order not to delay the follow-up matters.Besides, this is also a matter of mutual benefit. It depends on the price difference between each other to increase sales and box office.

Anyway, they are not the only ones who play fashion and movies together. Although it is a little late now, but watching the trend of "Interview with the Vampire", it should be no problem to show it for half a year. Besides, there are still overseas markets.Taking your time can still make a difference.

Or to say that the importance of top agents and PRs to a star is equal to re-casting a good pregnancy, compared to some low-level agents and PRs, Pat Kingsley has top contacts and the speed of a leopard .

She first flew back to the CAA headquarters in Los Angeles to communicate with Brian Lord and Martin Bob, and joined forces to put pressure on Warner, and then called Margaret to meet with Hubert Givenchy to start negotiations with Warner .Of course, the assistants and lawyers sent by Alexander Hughes are indispensable. This kind of authorization is not just for Warner and Geffen. If Lilian is alive, she will also participate in this negotiation. He must ensure the safety of his little niece. Interests are not infringed in any way.

After leaving this complicated matter to Brian Lord, Martin Bob and Ino Martin, Pat Kingsley flew back to New York at the speed of light, got off the plane and went straight to Braun's branch in New York , Negotiating and placing an order with lightning speed, this order is not a sponsorship, there are not so many interests involved, as long as the payment is made.

Of course, this money is not only from Tom Cruise himself, but also from the public relations expenses allocated by Warner's publicity department.Although Tommy Lee Jones in another commercial blockbuster "The Fugitive" is also competing for this award, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Warner executives are not without fights.

The value of Tom Cruise is much higher than that of Tommy Lee Jones. This superstar can carry the box office alone. Besides, the American people know that Tom Cruise is not seen by the Oscars. If he Winning an award is much more valuable than Tommy Lee Jones who won the statuette with his good role, and the value of publicity is also higher.

Although "The Fugitive" is produced by Warner Bros., it's not like they didn't invest in "Interview with the Vampire". Moreover, the producers are divided into several factions. Even though everyone knows about this kind of open and secret fighting, it's still under the table. ongoing.

Besides, the acting award is much more valuable than the technical award. Whether it is Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive" or Tom Cruise in "Interview with the Vampire", if any of these two people can get it, it will be beneficial to the future. The box office, the distribution of videotapes, and the price of broadcasting rights for TV dramas are all beneficial. Even some overseas distribution regions that can only be sold out can raise some prices. Warner Bros. is willing to pay for this money.

As a result, various public relations companies came on stage one after another to show their abilities. After you sang and we went on stage, the Oscar public relations battle began. No matter the smoke filled the month before the final Oscar nomination, the crew of "Interview with the Vampire" began to harvest outposts Awarded, oh, wrong, it was two people from the crew of "Interview with the Vampire" who started to harvest outpost awards.

Since the Oscar nominations came out, the outposts of the Oscars have also begun to award awards, Detroit Film Critics Association Awards, Online Film Critics Association Awards, Dallas-Ford Worth Film Critics Association, Las Vegas Film Critics Association Awards, St. Louis Film Critics Awards Society Awards, Washington Film Critics Awards, Houston Film Critics Society Awards, Utah Film Critics Society Awards, Florida Film Critics Society Awards, Kansas City Film Critics Society Awards, Chicago Film Critics Society Awards, Satellite Awards, Indiana Film Critics Society Awards, Southeast Film Critics Association Awards, Oklahoma Film Critics Association Awards, Vancouver Film Critics Association Awards, Black Film Critics Association Awards, Iowa Film Critics Association Awards, American Federation of Women Film Journalists... None of this matters!

Not surprisingly, "Interview with the Vampire" swept most of the awards in North America in certain awards. From the stack of various outposts above, it can be seen that Lilian brought a lot to this movie. What a big change. If these various awards hadn't been sent with invitations or trophies, no one would have noticed them. The awards season is probably the only time for them to show their existence.Basically, if these awards are in Los Angeles or New York, the Xiongyou duo will go to receive the awards in person, if they are far away, there is no other way.

Margaret is better, just because she temporarily lived in the Iron Man villa in Los Angeles during the awards season. After all, she is underage, and it is not her turn to support the various canvassing receptions. Mr. Cruise is more miserable , I finally hid in New York for a few days and went on a hunger strike by drinking only nutrient solution every day, and now I was pulled back to Los Angeles, the main battlefield of this awards season.God knows how painful it is to have to deal with those old men Zhou Xuan and still not be able to eat.What a crime.

In fact, several awards were nominated at the end of last year, but the official awards were announced after the Oscar nominations. Today, the crew set off for an important outpost, the "Golden Globe".

Prior to this, the Xiongyou duo had already won several important outpost awards, including the four outpost awards. Margaret unexpectedly won all four awards for best supporting actress. The New Yorker The Chairman of the Film Critics Association really appreciates her very much. He took the lead in speaking out for her and praised her in the newspapers. Due to the high overlap rate of the American Film Critics Association, other film critics also praised her. Of course, it is impossible to say how much Arthur's relationship and Warner's public relations fees are involved.
