Chapter 114: Propaganda
At the beginning of August, Leicester finished filming the last scene, and "Die Hard" was officially completed, and handed the filmed film to the assistant and asked them to send it back to Bird Films.
At the end of "Die Hard", Dimes held a press conference for Lester and Bruce Willis at a hotel in Los Angeles to be interviewed.
Through the reporter's report, this can let the public know the latest news of "Die Hard", so as to achieve the effect of publicity.
However, before the press conference began, Lester unexpectedly received a call from Madonna's agent, Carrisse Henry.
Madonna's role was completed as early as mid-June, and through entertainment newspaper reports, Lester knew that Madonna was running a promotion for the song album, and he was somewhat surprised by Carrisse Henry's invitation.
In the private room of the hotel, Lester and his assistant walked into the private room and saw Madonna and his agent Carriser Henry sitting on a stool chatting.
"Mr. Lester, long admiration. ”
Carrisse Henry greeted Leicester warmly.
From the other party's eyes, Lester saw the heat and greeted the other party quietly.
Lester sat down and said straightforwardly, "Find me something." ”
Carrisser Henry heard that Lester didn't want to stay long, and knew that he would also be interviewed by reporters, directly explaining his intention: "We cooperate in publicity, Madonna and you have their own fans in the crowd, everyone exchanges and benefits, and brings publicity to both families." ”
"How to advertise. ”
Lester was surprised, and didn't open his mouth to refuse, asking about their plans.
Lester would not refuse such a good thing for something that could bring him benefits, looking at the two of them and signaling their plans.
"You can be interviewed by reporters with Madonna and promote for both parties. ”
Carrisser Henry looked at Madonna next to her and said what they thought.
In such a simple way, Lester asked: "If the direction of the media changes, but it becomes a scandal between the two, it is not in vain to publicize it." ”
Lester didn't want to be smart but was mistaken by being smart, so he promoted the movie well, which became a lace news for the two, and then the limelight of "Die Hard" was strengthened.
Carrisser Henry also knew that what he just said was very easy to be scribbled by bad media, and analyzed it to Lester step by step: "Madonna is a supporting role in "Die Hard" after all, and it is normal for him to appear in the interview meeting of the finale reporters, and he did not ask the two of you to have an affair in front of the reporters, but just to do it as propaganda, I don't believe that the invited reporters have not asked for anything to be interviewed and what cannot be interviewed." ”
"Your idea. ”
Lester looked at Madonna.
Madonna shook her head, her eyes glanced sideways at the agent, and it was obvious that it was Carress Henry's opinion.
Lester's eyes rolled, and his heart was sharply torn to the meaning of what Carriser Henry had said.
Carrisser Henry and Madonna looked at each other, not bothering Lester to think, and in terms of publicity, he felt that the press conference of "Die Hard" was one of the good publicity spots.
"I agree. ”
Lester thought twice and decided on Carrisse Henry's opinion.
"The press conference is about to begin. ”
The assistant saw that several people reached an agreement and reminded a few people.
"Let's go!" Lester got up and walked outside, Madonna and Carriser Henry looked at each other, got up and followed.
In the spacious hall, the reporters invited by Dimes waited for Lester and the others.
After a while, Bruce Willis and other leading actors arrived first, causing reporters to take pictures.
Later, Lester appeared in front of the reporters with Madonna, which made some reporters' eyes sparkle.
It stands to reason that such an important interview. A small supporting role rarely appears in front of a press conference, some time ago the scandal between the two was boiling, and finally pressed by the news of "Field Platoon", and now the two appear at the same time, which makes the reporter with a keen sense of smell look at the two hotly,
In the absence of the staff, a large number of reporters interviewed Lester and Madonna with microphones, and a small number interviewed Bruce Willis and others.
"Mr. Lester, may I ask why Miss Madonna is here. ”
The first reporter opened his mouth to ask about the two of them, and the other reporters asked Madonna the same question at the same time.
Lester and Madonna had already passed through the breath and knew how to answer, and said with a smile: "Miss Madonna is also half a member of "Die Hard", there is nothing strange about him appearing here, but you are a little wrong in this question." ”
"Teasing me!"
The reporter was very dissatisfied with Lester's official answer, and complained silently in his heart.
When he didn't know the role of "Die Hard", with the female reporter played by Madonna, she only appeared in a few scenes in the role of "Die Hard", and the role of revealing the protagonist's family information was simply soy sauce.
Madonna also answered in an official style, provoking a group of reporters who were very dissatisfied with Lester and Madonna's simple words.
A group of reporters continued to ask about the two of them unbelievingly, and Lester and Madonna always pulled it into the promotion of "Die Hard" and the new album of songs, which made the reporters grind their teeth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the interview. ”
After reporters asked a dozen questions, Lester ended the interview.
After sending off the reporters, Lester and Bruce Willis and others attended the finale banquet, and Madonna only stayed at the finale because she wanted to promote the song album, so she returned to the record company with her manager Carretse Henry.
In addition to Bruce Willis and others at the finale banquet, George Clooney and Tom Cruise and other people who had just finished from the crew came to the banquet.
"Hi, Mr. Lester. ”
Tom Cruise brought his new wife, Meimei Rogers, who had been married for more than three months, over to say hello.
"Happy newlyweds, both. ”
Lester congratulates Tom Cruise and Meimei Rogers with a glass full of juice.
The two got married in May, which really shocked him, the manager, and they got married quietly, which was reported by some media.
"Thank you!"
Meimei Rogers nodded to Lester.
Looking at the beautiful Rogers lady next to Tom Cruise, Lester remembered that in his previous life, Tom Cruise had only been with him for three years before divorcing.
Lester shook his head with a smile in Tom Cruise's confusion, chatted with the two of them for a while, left the finale banquet, returned to the editing room of Bird Films, and began to tinker with the film.
Before the film was edited, Lester unexpectedly received a Hugo Award letter.
That's when I remembered that "Watchmen" was nominated for a Hugo Award.
Leicester didn't want to miss such an important awards event in North America, so he sent an invitation, got some things ready, and set off for the Hugo Awards.
