Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Because of Sid, in front of the media wall, photographers and reporters finally showed more enthusiasm for Xiao Lizi. Sid leaned on the shoulders of Little Plum and smiled and posed in the flash.
When they finally came out of the red carpet, Sid and Little Plum seemed to have gone through a war together, and Sid later remembered why Little Plum was not popular with the media now.
In fact, it is very simple, after "Titanic", he connected two movies that lost money, North American Fox did not even recover the cost in the first film, and later the arrogant Xiao Li Zi even ran to take over a European movie.
Of course, it is conceivable that there is no attention at all, and the European film did not even qualify for release in North America, such a set of "chaotic high", Xiao Lizi quickly changed from a "box office bomb at the end of the century" to a rotten egg in the eyes of North American film companies.
Then of course, the media will not have any enthusiasm for him.
And in history, Xiao Lizi did not receive any film contracts for a whole year in 01, if it weren't for the promotion of Spielberg and Old Martin (Scorsese) and other famous directors, would there be a later heartthrob Xiao Lizi to say otherwise!
"Hold on, man, Hollywood is all about smashing the high and low, don't take them too seriously. Sid said with a smile in his ear by patting him on the shoulder.
And Xiao Lizi, although he was a little surprised by Sid's words, he quickly reacted and nodded to Sid with a smile.
At this moment, a young lady was already waiting at the entrance of the passage leading to the Victoria's Secret show at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and as soon as she saw Sid, she immediately walked up with a bright eye: "Hello, Mr. Leon. ”
Sid turned his head and realized that he was also an acquaintance, and he couldn't help but smile, "Hey, Lauren, how are you doing?"
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Anna Wintour's assistant to the female devil, Lauren Weisberg.
She smiled and said, "I'm fine, that, Mr. Leon, Anna wants to see you." ”
"Oh. Sid raised an eyebrow, then laughed and said, "Well, I just want to meet her." ”
Then Sid turned his head to Xiao Lizi and smiled: "It seems that there is a lady invited, so I will go first." ”
Xiao Lizi spread out his hands and said with a smile: "Popular men are just different." ”
"Are you embarrassed to say that about me?" Sid patted Leonardo on the shoulder and left with a smile.
Then Sid and Lauren Weisberg walked to the scene of the Victoria's Secret show together, and many celebrities who recognized Sid greeted him along the way, Sid said hello to people he didn't know, and looked back at Lauren Weisberg, "Lauren, how are your things modified?"
Lauren Weisberg's eyes rolled, and then nodded solemnly, "I've changed it a few more times, and I think it should be okay." ”
"Really?" Sid curled the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, "Then, can I take a look?"
"Oh, of course. Lauren Weisberg nodded immediately, and then she pulled a stack of bound manuscripts from her handbag and handed them over.
Sid took it with great interest, flipped through it, and then put it away, and then he looked at Lauren again, "So, have you decided?"
"Huh?" Lauren Weisberg looked at him with some confusion.
Sid patted the cover and printed the title of the book "The Devil Wears Prada", "You must know that after this book officially enters the publishing channel, you will have to say goodbye to the current life in the fashion industry." Are you really ready?"
Indeed, the content of "The Devil Wears Prada" can be said to be a direct hit on the top central figure in the fashion circle - the female devil Anna Wintour. Offended such a big man, even Lauren Weisberg didn't think he could stay in the fashion industry.
Hearing Sid's words, Lauren lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and soon she raised her head with a determined look in her eyes, "Yes, Mr. Leon, I'm ready." ”
"Good. Sid looked at Lauren differently, "Then I'll help you hand this to my bookseller." ”
"Eh, don't you have to look at it again?" asked Lauren in surprise.
Sid smiled faintly, "Lauren, how many times have you revised this book?"
"Uh," Lauren said after a moment's thought, "more than twenty times." ”
"How many more times have you changed it at my suggestion?" Sid continued.
"Six times. Lauren remembers this very well. Since last year's Paris Fashion Week, Sid has guided Lauren Weisberg's writing several times via email. The two also gradually established a teacher-student relationship.
In addition to work and entertainment, Sid also found that Lauren Weisberg could write best-selling books such as "The Devil Wears Prada", and indeed had some creative talent, and Sid gradually understood the heart of talent.
Of course, Sid has already negotiated with Lauren about the film copyright of this book, and Sid also gave a $5 million film and television copyright buyout fee, which is much more generous than Ali (Emmanuel) who has helped Sid acquire the film and television rights of various comics around the world over the years.
Of course, Sid didn't give a generous offer such as channel sharing this time, after all, not everyone is JK Rowling, and only for top talents, Sid will give top treatment.
Sid has always been very clear about this.
"Well, I believe you. Sid smiled and accepted the manuscript, "Also, I'll write a preface to recommend it." ”
"Oh, thank you, thank you very much!" Lauren immediately showed a grateful expression.
Sid's deeds of making a fortune from the world have long been known in Europe and the United States, and although Sid has published under the pretext that it has been written before. But with a speed of 12 books a year, he has published more than 40 books in just over three years, which is more than most writers write in a lifetime.
And Sid has never written or recommended books to others, so being the first book to be recommended by Sid, even if it is only "the first personal recommendation of Sid Leon", this title is enough to attract the attention of book lovers in the United States and even around the world.
It can be described as a soft ad that is more effective than any hard ad.
After exchanging pleasantries, they entered a large hall with a silver catwalk, and many guests were already seated on the stepped seats on either side, and the side facing the stage was occupied by a dense crowd of reporters and photographers.
Cameras with long guns and short guns and mobile cameras on both sides of the catwalk are ready to go. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
