Chapter 439 Under Vanity Fair
Mark has worked with Scorsese for so long, and this is the first time he has been invited to his house for dinner, and this treatment shows that Scorsese really treats Mark as a friend.
And Xiao Lizi's attitude towards Mark is not as cold as before, although there is no flattery, but it is not as obvious as before.
Scorsese was in a good mood tonight, accepting reporters' requests with a smile on his face, taking many photos and answering many questions.
Tonight's party is both a place for the victors and a place for the disappointed to find an opportunity, and many people come here for a lot of money to meet so many stars and see Hollywood's top superstars and producers.
"Vanity Fair" is a veteran life magazine, founded in 1913, the reporting objects are mostly upper-class people, acting stars, fashion pioneers, its photographic power in the mainstream periodicals in the United States is one of the best, the more famous female photographer Anne Leiberwitz and Mark Seliger, Tim Walker, etc., after 1935 because of the Great Depression caused a sharp decline in sales and ceased publication, after the resumption of publication in 1981, often publish photos of popular stars, report on the private life of celebrities, and at the same time publish news, comments, essays and other content with a certain depth.
Vanity Fair is a well-known fashion magazine in the United States, published by Condé Nast Publishing Company, and the content of the report is mostly the private life of celebrities, and its news, comments, essays and other content also have a certain depth, which is quite popular with high-income people and ordinary people.
Vanity Fair plays the role of the world's most luxurious stage provider "from rising star to superstar", and what is even more admirable is that it has been nominated for the best magazine, photography, column, essay and review in the national magazine awards.
Vanity Fair is a magazine that reports on the lifestyle, tastes, banquet topics, art, sports, humor, and more. Today, Vanity Fair is recognized as one of the most important magazines in the United States. It is a star-making factory, a reading book for politicians in Washington, and a window for people who chase fame and fortune to see the world.
To create an impact, the magazine alone is not enough, "Vanity Fair" made full use of the magazine's social resources, developed its influence in the entertainment and political circles, and hyped "Vanity Fair" into a "star-level" publication by holding a banquet after the Oscars every year and a party after the White House correspondents' banquet every year.
"Vanity Fair" has a strong star-making ability, many stars are proud to be on the cover of Vanity Fair, Giselle can stand out among many supermodels, and there is also the touting of "Vanity Fair", which was taken in New York in 2000, Giselle Chigo riding on a white horse, has become one of the sexiest and most valuable photos in the past decade, Giselle has a good relationship with Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair".
In 1983, the media magnate Shiyi Neuhouse acquired the Kant Nast Group, the ambitious Neuhouse decided to republish "Vanity Fair", although "Vanity Fair" once stood on the cusp of the times, but now is not the past, in order to make "Vanity Fair" return to its former glory, in addition to huge financial support, but also to have the core of the magazine that can turn things around——— editor-in-chief, in the case of spending tens of millions of dollars, but the market response is not good, Neuhouse will look overseas, and invited the legendary British editor Tina Brown. Brown is the head of "Vanity Fair".
In 1984, when Tina took over the power of editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair", the circulation of "Vanity Fair" was only 250,000 copies, and the advertising volume was less than 12 pagesCompelling reporting + news sensitivity = money.
In order to obtain high-quality written reports, Tina has recruited a large number of first-class writers with generous remuneration, some of whom have six-figure pay contracts. But Tina firmly believes that there is no first-class magazine without first-class manuscripts. Facts have proved that Tina is right, that year, an in-depth news report of "Vanity Fair" won the "National Periodical Award" of the American periodical industry awards, "Vanity Fair" immediately became the focus of media attention, and ranked among the ranks of first-class magazines, Tina's news tentacles are deeply involved in all aspects of American social life, never let go of any valuable news clues, especially news about celebrities.
Since 1995, Vanity Fair magazine has published a special Hollywood issue in the March or April issue of Vanity Fair every year, and the royal photographer of Vanity Fair has invited several popular or soon-to-be-popular Hollywood stars to shoot the three-fold large-page cover.
2005 "Not Desperate Housewives": Uma Thurman, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, Claire Denise, Scarlett Johansson, Rosario Townes, Zhang Ziyi, Kelly Washington, Kate Burswartz, Sienna Miller.
2006 "The Foundation of the Shallows": Scarlett Johansson, Tom Ford, Keira Knightley, and this issue of Scarlett and Keira Knightley, the two big names are all on the battlefield (of course, no dew point), which shows its huge influence, it can be said that it has not been on the cover of "Vanity Fair", and the self-proclaimed celebrities are not convincing.
Tina Miran also appeared at the party this time, she was lobbying Mark, hoping that the couple would be the cover characters of the next issue, the cover characters of this issue, of course, the Oscar winners, "Vanity Fair" will also have an Oscar special issue, dedicated to reporting and documenting this grand occasion, and each issue has sold well.
However, Mark politely rejected her proposal, as the boss of MM Group, they are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to show off, they can attend any event, any street photo, they can be on the news, and they still need to use other people's publicity platforms? And Giselle is not a person in the entertainment industry now, at most a behind-the-scenes figure in the entertainment industry.
Mark They participated in the "Vanity Fair" party, mainly to show their faces, to reward these meritorious people, as tonight's big winners, they won a total of six awards, all of which are more important, this kind of scenery and glory, not in it, outsiders can not experience.
Now Mark is understandable that James Cameron would have shouted the slogan I am the king of the world, but there were thirteen nominations and eleven awards.
If you don't participate in this "Vanity Fair" party, it won't give face to many people, including "Vanity Fair" and many Oscar academies and nominees, but as the Big Four of Mark and MM, if you play from the beginning to the end, it will be too much for them to lose face, and they will play here for an hour and then retire.
Before he retired, Iger had obtained accurate information that the box office of "Twilight" on Sunday was 13 million US dollars, and 92 million on the first four days, although it did not break 100 million in a shocking amount, but it was enough to be amazing and set a record for February.
92 million in the first week, this result is also the second highest in Mark's personal record, such a record, this is the momentum of winning 300 million, so when Iger triumphantly announced the news, it immediately caused a huge sensation among news reporters.
This Mark, so powerful that the Oscar night can't overwhelm his edge, Sunday's box office, the media generally predicts, should be between five million and six million, but the result is doubled, once the power of these young men and women breaks out, the consequences are extremely amazing, although it did not break the 100 million mark, but it also broke the highest record in February, even if it was a box office year like last year, such a first-week record can also be included in the top three, and the first week was profitable.
Like "Twilight", which is publicly stated to be an idol movie, the beer will not be high, and the audience has expectations, which will not collapse easily, which means that the box office of the movie is worth looking forward to.
Of course, it is also possible to collapse, like last year's "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" broke 100 million in the first week, fell by 70% in the second week, and finally couldn't pass 200 million five, this "Twilight" has no praise, but this bad review is not bad there, the comprehensive media score is hovering around 6.5 points, which is just a good score for a commercial movie.
Although it set a new low for Mark's films, the box office did not pull off, and the first-week record of 92 million once again proved Mark's appeal, which is four works, which means that MM has another gold mine.
Tonight's Oscar night, in the end, cannot escape the word fame and fortune, fame and advantage come status. Like many Twenty Million Gentlemen, they don't have the blessing of the Oscars, but can you say they don't have status anymore?
Like Whitaker, he won the actor and was the big winner tonight, but film and television tycoons like Mark still focused on Heath Ledger, Xiao Lizi, Gao Commander and others, and Whitaker did not get a big contract from the film company like Hoffman last year, acting is one thing, box office appeal is another, without appeal, it is impossible to get a high salary.
Mark vigorously appeased the love general Heath, this guy was a little depressed, last year's Best Actor nomination failed, and this year's Best Supporting Actor failed again, he was depressed and full of frustration.
Mark had no choice but to say: "God is fair, I can't give you all the good things, you are young, you have a successful career, a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter, you get a salary of 15 million US dollars, Alkin's salary is not one-tenth of yours, at this time next year, it is a question whether you will hang up." ”
Heath coughed dryly and said, "It's very rude to let Alkin hear it." ”
Mark said: "Even Kim Carrey and Liangtang didn't take the little golden man, what are you? You are better than the little plum? Be patient, in less than five years, you will definitely have your own little golden man, now all you have to do is go home and wash and sleep." ”
