Chapter 538 - Top Endorsement Contract (1)
This time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" received an unprecedented six nominations, which made fans of Leila and Roy very excited.
As soon as the list came out, Lyra's FB was swiped with countless blessings, all of which congratulated her on her film entering the big stage of the Oscars for the first time. Fans are very optimistic about her, thinking that from this point on, she will appear in the Oscars again and again with her movies.
There are also many people who feel unfair that she "only" got six nominations, especially the Best Director one, and it's a pity that Leila didn't even get a nomination.
Not only people on the Internet are discussing, but there are also a lot of debates about her in major media. Some people think that the Oscars are old and only focus on those films that are not loved by the audience, and should pay more attention to cultivating a new generation of directors, and also accept the challenge of new types of films.
Many media feel that Leila's failure to be nominated for an Oscar this time is a manifestation of the old stubborn Oscar once again discriminating against young people and commercial films. Why can't young people win that award, and why do commercial movies make them feel bad?
As the vanguard of Black Leila, Cooper naturally wanted to attack Leila at the Oscar jury this time.
"It's not that the Oscars discriminate against young people and commercial films, it's that her abilities haven't reached the passing line. She didn't contribute anything at all except to make movies that flattered the audience and make their money. What do we get after watching a commercial film? A piece of popcorn, and two hours of boredom? Yes, we don't get anything else! But the Oscar movie can give the audience a truth that will last a lifetime, and that's what a movie is really about!"
To put it simply, what he means is that Leila's commercial films are a pile of garbage, and the audience will become a pile of garbage after watching it. But the movies selected by the Oscars are a bunch of treasures, and after watching them, you will feel that you have become rich too. So not choosing Leila as a candidate for Best Director is simply doing the right thing and living up to the trust and support that people all over the world have for it...... Balabala.
As soon as the report came out, Leila's fans naturally ran to his FB and blog to scold, and some people made a special call to the newspaper in order to relay the swearing words to the "garbage full of vomit as soon as the exit is out".
Leila wasn't angry, it was strange that Cooper didn't hack her, she had long since stopped paying attention to what he said to her. Anyway, she can't make everyone like her, and if 80 out of 100 people like her, why should she be sad about the remaining 20 people who don't like her?
In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean", the brightest highlight of this Oscar nomination is "Moulin Rouge", which has received 8 Oscar nominations.
But Leila remembers very well that this year's Oscar "Moulin Rouge" is not the biggest winner, it belongs to the kind of thunder and rain. And this time, because of his appearance, he squeezed out a lot of places in other movies, so I don't know how many surprises I will have at this awards.
It was the first time to attend the Oscars, and everyone who was nominated, including Janet, was thrilled. As the proprietor's wife, Janet generously provided clothing and styling services to all the nominees in the company. It's hard to say anything else, it's no problem to dress people up beautifully, and it's okay to be glamorous on the red carpet.
So, after the list came out, everyone was carried over by Janet one by one and cleaned up. Needless to say, Lyra and Roy appear in front of the public every time they wear the costumes designed by Janet, which can be regarded as an advertisement for her.
The rest of the people are the eldest girl who went to the sedan chair once, especially Xiao Yu, after not being "Jia Xiaoming", he has completely transformed into a makeup artist under Laila, and wants to show his skills in the company with his own skills, so as to prove that his strength will shine wherever he is placed. Who would have thought that before he could shine, he would already be nominated for an Oscar......
In this regard, Xiao Yu expressed his melancholy, and had a kind of "frustration" that his ambition had become famous before he was rewarded.
Fortunately, he was smarter and didn't show his melancholy on his face, otherwise those who fought for an Oscar ticket for half their lives without success would definitely find an opportunity to knock him on the stick.
Compared to the Golden Globes, the atmosphere of the Oscars is a little more serious. Participants in the awards ceremony will basically dress more solemnly and calmly, men are generally in black suits, ladies are slightly better, and do not wear some excessive clothing.
Over the weekend, Janet calls Leila and Roy back to New York to try on new dresses. Leila, who knows very well what will happen if she doesn't go, can only appear honestly in front of her mother, even if she is busy.
What she didn't expect was that when she arrived at her mother's company, she found that Bo Baili's people were also waiting there.
"Well, we want to re-sign Roy to a new contract and make him our global ambassador. ”
Layla didn't understand a little: "He's not now, isn't he?"
Bo Baili's people were a little embarrassed, they just took a fancy to Roy's face and figure, and they didn't have much expectation of his popularity, so the signing was relatively lenient at that time, and it was completely signed according to the value of a model.
Who knew that in just two or three years, he had grown into a star with a high reputation all over the world. In this case, it would be too humiliating to reuse the previous contract. If in the past it was Roy who took advantage of Boverly's light and gained some visibility in print advertising, now it is Böbery who wants to use Roy's popularity to promote their products more deeply around the world.
When he walked the red carpet before, Bo Baili also provided him with some clothes. Later, Janet took away the job of designing the dress for him, and each time she wore a couple's outfit similar to Leila, and each time she was admired by the fashion industry and fans.
Why should the people we signed wear other people's clothes on the red carpet and help others promote their clothes? Take a closer look at the contract...... The person in charge's mouth was almost out of breath, Nima, who signed a garbage contract, and didn't even stipulate that they could only wear their brand clothes on the red carpet! Don't you know that it was the easiest time for a brand to produce results?
In fact, this really can't be blamed on the people who made the contract at the beginning, they never thought that the little guy who played a few small supporting roles at that time would have the opportunity to walk the red carpet. Even if they could think of it, they wouldn't think it would have anything to do with Oscar, and they thought that in addition to the best clothes they could provide, no one would provide him with free clothes like a fool.
But in fact, there is!
