When the sun shines on Los Angeles, the capital of angels, the Peninsula Hotel, not far from Beverly Hills, is already covered with red carpets, flowers, and busy staff shuttling back and forth.

At the same time, both sides of the red carpet were crowded with reporters from major media outlets, holding long guns and short cannons in their hands, stretching their necks to look at the end of the red carpet, ready to press the shutter in their hands at any time.

The reporters gathered early because Miramax Films will be holding a kick-off ceremony for its new film at The Peninsula Hotel today.

Originally, there was no need to pay so much attention to the opening ceremony of a new film, but this time the opening ceremony was a little different from usual.

Miramax Films has already let out a few days of breath, and there will be many heavyweight guests on the day of the opening ceremony.

Among the confirmed guests are Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts...... Wait. It can be said that this time the opening ceremony is a real gathering of big names, and this kind of scene can only be seen during the awards season, which is usually very rare.

The star-studded place is a magnetic field, which naturally attracts everyone's attention, and it is a feast that cannot be missed for journalists.

Compared with the excitement and noise outside the venue, the opening ceremony press room in the Peninsula Hotel is obviously much quieter, and the planners of this opening ceremony, Michael Owitz and Harvey Wynstein, are standing in front of the window and looking at the venue with a smile.

"Harvey, I guess there are at least dozens of reporters on both sides of the red carpet!" Seeing the crowded press corps, Michael Ovitz was red-faced.

"Yes. Harvey Wienstein nodded triumphantly. "How can the two of us join forces without causing a sensation in Hollywood, I see that the major media in the country have come to our side, but I don't know how many are left for John Chris Deng. ”

After Harvey Wienstein finished speaking, the two laughed, and they carefully planned this opening ceremony for a long time in order to attract attention and dominate the headlines of major media the next day.

Inviting superstars to help this is undoubtedly a very powerful killer feature, where there are superstars, there is attraction, CAA, as the king of the four major brokerage companies, has gathered a lot of superstars, and it is not difficult to invite a few to come.

Although there are some favors involved, as long as the limelight can overshadow John's side and suppress John and his new film, Michael Ovitz and Harvey Wienstein feel that it is worth it.

Especially Michael Ovitz, since the last time he suffered a loss at John, he dreamed of defeating John, this time with the support of his boss Charles and the help of Harvey Wienstein, he felt that he had a good chance of winning, and he had long wanted to roll up his sleeves and make a big fight to get back all the lost face in the past.

Just when Michael Ovitz was full of confidence and decided to make a comeback, the Four Seasons Hotel, not far from The Peninsula, was also carpeted with red carpets.

But unlike The Peninsula, reporters from more than a dozen media outlets were not very enthusiastic, standing on both sides of the red carpet with guns in their hands and yawning for the ceremony to begin, some of them complaining from time to time.

"Alas, what a bad luck for Coless to go to The Peninsula and come to the Four Seasons herself. A reporter in the press corps sighed, cursing in his heart that his boss had buried talents.

"Alas, forget it, let's say that we are usually the least favored in the company, and we will not be the least able to pat the boss. A reporter next to him said with some resignation.

"Hmph! Those sycophants are all villains. Another reporter was indignant.

The reporters who were sent to the Four Seasons were the least appreciated in the company, while those who were appreciated by the boss went to the nearby Peninsula Hotel.

The reason for this is that Miramax Films released the rumor that many superstars would help a few days before the launch ceremony, while John's side still has no major news until now, and it is as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

Therefore, the major media companies regard the opening ceremony of Miramax Films as the top priority, and send their own capable personnel to interview, many media companies even drove the OB truck to the hotel, and John's opening ceremony is not attractive and naturally not taken seriously, if it is not for his good results in his last movie, these media still have some expectations for him, then even standing at the door of the hotel This group of waste materials will not be sent, after all, waste materials are also company resources that cannot be wasted.

This is the reality of the world, the media will only chase the reports that can bring value to them, and those who cannot create value for them will only be forgotten and abandoned.

Just when this group of waste reporters complained about the sky, felt sorry for themselves, and poured bitter water on each other, a woman with a hot body and a delicate face squeezed into the press corps and squeezed all the way to the front row.

After coming to the front row, she quickly took out her camera and some interview tools from her bag, and waited for the start-up ceremony with an excited face.

She is also a reporter, to be precise, a reporter who is not valued by the company, but she herself does not have this awareness, because as a newcomer who only came to the company a few days ago, how did she know the trickiness of it, and she naively thought that the company asked her to interview such a big opening ceremony because it valued her.

Every newcomer has a rush in their hearts at the beginning, and she is the same, but what she doesn't know is that most people will be slowly smoothed out by time and become passable people.

Just as the rookie reporter was preparing for his first interview, John was talking to Nancy and Sophia in the press room of the Four Seasons Hotel's opening ceremony.

"John, the situation on our side is not optimistic, there are not many reporters present, obviously not as much as the Peninsula side" When Miramax Film released its tone, Nancy suggested that John also release some words to attract reporters, but John did not agree, which led to the current result.

But John wasn't worried, and smiled slightly. "Winning first is not winning, and the one who can have the last laugh is the winner. ”

The reason why he didn't reveal anything was that he wanted to catch Michael Ovitz and Harvey Wienstein off guard. Anyone who has practiced boxing knows that if you want to break a person's move, you have to let him kill the move, so that he doesn't have time to change the move when he breaks the move.

"Alright!" Nancy shrugged. "Then I'll wish you the last laugh. Saying that, she walked away quickly, there was still something to do at the end of the boot ceremony, and she had to keep an eye on it so as not to make a mistake.

The rest of Sophia looked at John curiously.

John looked a little unnatural at her. "Sophia, why are you staring at me, I have words on my face. John said and touched his face.

"I'm just curious. Sophia raised the guest list. "I don't understand how you got these people. Sophia was sure that there were people on the guest list who wouldn't even be able to get it, so she wondered how John managed to get it.

"You'll know this later when you have a chance. John smiled mysteriously, he didn't plan to reveal his identity to Sophia just yet.

Sophia didn't say anything and didn't continue to ask, everyone had some secrets, and it was normal.

Just when John and Sophia were silent about it, John suddenly saw a young man sitting in the audience looking at him with a smile.

The young man was none other than Charles, who did not attend his own opening ceremony, but came to John's side to join in the fun, and sat in his chair with such a big smile without any concealment.

John didn't say anything, the opening ceremony was originally intended to be publicized, although Charles sitting in the audience made him a little unhappy, but he didn't want to drive people away, thinking that it was a big deal to go to Charles's side next time to join in the fun.
