On the afternoon of March 2, the Coen brothers and DreamWorks co-produced "Connietown" held a grand launch at the famous Hilton Hotel in Hollywood. This is the first cooperation between the two parties www.biquge.info and the fame of the Coen brothers and Spielberg has attracted the attention of a large number of media and fans, and major media in the United States have sent reporters to the press conference. Paramount Pictures Chairman Shirley Lansing also came to the scene, with Spielberg's admiration and the Coen brothers' signature, Paramount naturally will not miss this opportunity, in addition to participating in the investment, they will also be responsible for the distribution of the film in North America with DreamWorks.

With investments from DreamWorks and Paramount, Connie Town has a production budget of more than $25 million, and its cast is no slouch. Edward Norton as Gavin Feiger, Sean Bean as Paul Moss, Kate Winslet as Wendy Moss, and Jack Nicholson as Pastor Martin in friendship, perhaps only Chris and Vivian Corrynn, the little girl who plays Connie Moss, are the new faces.

Compared to "American Beauty", the launch of "Connietown" is undoubtedly much more high-profile. He did not attend the press conference of "American Beauty", in a sense this is Chris's first appearance in front of the media. From the moment the film's main creators walked into the venue, bursts of "click" photography sounds were endless. Chris was really uncomfortable standing in the middle of the group, and he was dizzy when the flash flashed. He is wearing a dark style today, a dark green T-shirt with a black suit, retro dark casual leather shoes, the whole person is refreshing and clean but not solemn, coupled with his handsome face and melancholy and elegant temperament, the eye-catching degree is not inferior to the Hollywood stars around him.

Chris's outfit was chosen for him by Allen and his assistant Anna. He doesn't have a PR, assistant or manager, let alone a dedicated stylist. For today's press conference, Anna ran around and worked all day, which made him feel a little unhappy. But Anna didn't seem to mind, according to her words: watching a handsome guy keep changing clothes is also a very enjoyable thing, which makes Chris sweat profusely. Judging from today's performance, it's not bad, Anna really has a talent for image design.

Some of the media reporters who attended the "American Beauty" press conference had some impression of the name Chris Vaughn, and they were obviously a little surprised that he appeared to play a major role in two Hollywood medium-sized productions in the space of a year. And the reporters, who are completely unfamiliar with this young man with a unique temperament, are also talking about Chris. After interviewing directors and producers, as well as A-list stars such as Edward Norton and Kate Winslet as Wendy Moss and Jack Nicholson, it was only natural that some reporters turned to Chris.

"Hello...... Forehead...... Mr. Chris Vaughn," a reporter from Entertainment Weekly magazine was the first to raise his hand to ask, apparently he was still very unfamiliar with the name Chris Vaughn, and almost mispronounced it, "I'm Jesse from Entertainment Weekly, and I'm forgiven for not hearing anything else about you, is this your first big-screen project?" ”

In response to Jesse's sudden question, Chris moved the position of the microphone in a bit of a panic, although they were all facing the camera equipment, but this was a completely different feeling from his filming. He was very engaged and relaxed during filming, but there was no chance to do it all over again, and he thought that today he was just making a head and showing his face, so he didn't prepare much. "Hello...... Jesse ...... his voice tightened, as if it had been squeezed out of his throat. Kate Winslet, who was sitting next to him, turned her head to look at Chris, who had noticed the young man's nervousness from the beginning, and it was clear that he had not yet adjusted to life in the spotlight.

Thinking about the scene where Chris and himself met before the press conference, Chris introduced himself to her with a low voice and a red face, Kate felt a burst of amusement in her heart. I never thought that this rookie actor who suddenly jumped out to partner with him turned out to be the one who was splashed in muddy water by her car before. Thinking about it this way, the two of them really have some fate.

Although Kate is only 2 years older than Chris, she has much more experience in dealing with the media than Chris, and "Titanic" has made her one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood, but also made her subject to the media's all-pervasive intrusion. Seeing Chris's embarrassed appearance, Kate thought of her own time, and she immediately patted Chris's leg with her hand under the table and threw him an encouraging look.

Chris is so nervous at the moment, not only because of the big scene in front of him, but also because Kate Winslet sitting next to him is even more unexpected. When Kate really stood in front of him, Chris could only say one thing in his heart.

Chris was nervously preparing to speak, when he suddenly felt someone touch his body, and when he turned his head, he saw Kate's gentle and encouraging eyes, her eyes seemed to have a kind of magic, and his heart slowly calmed down in an instant.

He smiled in gratitude. "Hello Jesse, thank you for your question. This is my second big screen show, and the first movie I've acted in is a Sam Menders film, which of course hasn't been released yet, but I'm sure you can see it this year. Chris turned his head and smiled at Jesse, who was asking questions below, and the many media outlets.

The media reporters in the audience can say that they know a lot about Hollywood-made movies, and Chris said that Sam Menders's work is naturally "American Beauty". This made them even more curious about how a newcomer managed to participate in a medium-sized Hollywood production in a row, and there was a loud talk in the audience.

"Hello Chris. I'm Bob Shaw for the Los Angeles Times," another reporter was chosen to ask. Chris smiled and nodded, agreeing to the question. "What did you do before you starred in the movie? Do you think you'll be able to play a good role in the movie? ”

"Hello, Bob Shaw. Before acting in movies, I participated in a few TV series, all of which were inconspicuous supporting roles, so people may not know me. I am grateful to Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Cohen for giving me the opportunity to perform in Connietown, and I will definitely repay their trust in me with practical actions. Chris answered Bob's somewhat difficult questions as he bowed his head in the direction of the director and producer.

"Forgive me for interjecting here, hehe...... I hope you don't mind," Steven Spielberg suddenly leaned over the microphone and said with a smile, and there was immediately a good-natured laugh below, and with Spielberg's status in Hollywood, I believe that no one will object to his statement. "Chris is definitely a very talented actor, and I'm sure you'll agree with him after watching his performances. We fully believe in his acting skills, there is no doubt about that, and please rest assured. ”

Chris was a little surprised that Spielberg favored him, even with Sam Mandes' relationship. Although his speech today has the meaning of promoting two DreamWorks works, being able to get his praise in front of the media also makes others jealous and jealous. He was so lucky, the higher the starting point, the more he couldn't relax, he secretly reminded himself in his heart.

With Spielberg's speech, the media will no longer hold on to Chris, but the entertainment media will remember the name Chris Vaughn from today onwards. After the press conference, Chris also expressed his gratitude to Spielberg in due course, and the somewhat short and kind old man left in a hurry after smiling and asking him to work hard, leaving Chris a little confused.

"Hey! Chris! Seeing Chris stunned, Kate Winslet ran over and woke him up a little mischievously, "You can't be frightened by those reporters, right?" She exclaimed, making an exaggerated expression.

"Hey! Kate, thank you for your help, otherwise I'd really be going to make a fool of myself today! ”

Kate waved her hand and didn't care at all, "I don't want you to be ridiculed by them, you know, what kind of people they are." She pouted.

Chris opened his mouth, trying to remind her that it was best to have a good relationship with the entertainment media, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. The current Kate Winslet is not the "British Rose" who will be like a fish in water in Hollywood and the British entertainment industry in the future, although she is now very famous, she is still just a 23-year-old young man, and some temperament is as it should be.

"You should have a drink, though," Kate whispered in Chris's ear, "you scared my assistant Aditya so much that day, huh!" A gentleman would never force a woman to apologize. Chris was stunned and subconsciously turned his head, but he avoided Kate's plump red lips. The bright and seductive lipstick and disorienting aura in front of him made Chris's heart beat faster.

"Hey! Just kidding! Look at your frightened face is red, haha! Kate suddenly slapped him on the shoulder and laughed.

"Uh...... It's my pleasure! Chris smiled awkwardly and quietly took two steps to the side.

"Ha......" Kate somehow turned red, beckoned to Chris and walked away.

The two walked and chatted, and after a while, they walked to the hotel lobby, where some of Kate's fans were shouting her name at the door. They made a brief stop in the lobby before Kate's assistant and agent rushed to pick her up.

"Chris, how do you go back, your assistant? Do you want us to send you? As soon as Kate finished speaking, she saw the gloomy expression on her agent's face Sarah, "Okay, okay, Sarah, I'll pay attention." ”

She turned to Chris and shrugged her shoulders, "Chris, you know why, I can't send you anymore, I hope your people will come and pick you up soon." Nice to meet you though. See you when we film! ”

"I understand, thank you, I'm happy too. Goodbye, Kate. Chris smiled goodbye to her.

As Kate walked out the door, there was an immediate burst of noisy screams outside. Chris smiled wryly as Kate Winslet stood in the crowd. He really wanted to take a ride, as long as it didn't attract attention, of course. He can't tell Kate that he doesn't even have an assistant, and even his agent basically doesn't care much about himself except for picking out scripts for him.

In the afternoon, the bright Los Angeles sun shone through the revolving glass doors of the hotel, forming an orange pillar of light in the air in the lobby, shining warmly on Chris's body. But the expression on his face was a little stupid. How do I get there? The question crossed his mind. Think for a moment, "Hey...... It's too bad to take the bus, so it's better to call a taxi. Chris shook his head, and walked over to a waiter who looked at him a little puzzled.
