Yunxiang sideburns, crowded, laughter...... The familiar noisy images come into view, the clever smile at the corners of the mouth, the bright and brisk eyebrows, and the harmonious scene without any restraints, no shelves, and no politeness, all graceful. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

George Clooney straightened his waist energetically, pulled his suit, and buttoned it up, but then looked around and unbuttoned it again, and at this time the room was staggered and warm like spring, and after everyone took off their trench coats and handed them to the waiters, the buttons of the suit were also open, and there was a hint of leisure in it. Obviously, George didn't want to be an outlier himself.

Realizing that he was actually a little nervous, George let out a long breath, quietly stuffed his hands into his pockets, wiped the sweat from his palms, and looked at the situation in the room with a decent smile on the surface, and said secretly in his heart, "This is the occasion you are best at, dealing with people, this is the occasion you are most sure of." If you become a politician, even if you are scolded by the other person, you still have to face it with a smile, this situation is just a small piece of cake, you can easily deal with it, you can. ”

It was a private party hosted by DreamWorks and Universal Pictures in the name of Katherine Kennedy at Katherine's villa in Beverly Hills. But the guests in attendance all knew in their hearts, and this was the party for the college public relations for the "Munich tragedy".

On December 23rd, Steven Spielberg's "Munich Tragedy" was screened, although the media reputation is average, and the media comprehensive evaluation score of 74 points is far from good, but with Steven's connections and prestige in the circle, this work still has received a lot of attention, and the sensitivity and profundity of the theme of the work itself also add a lot of points, and the prospects in the awards season should not be underestimated. Two weeks after the screening, last week, the official release of "Munich Massacre" was launched, which also means that the college's public relations will be in full swing.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences explicitly prohibits individual crews from canvassing in private, but the Academy cannot prohibit the exchange of personal relationships. There are so many parties like tonight that go on and on throughout the awards season, and sometimes it's normal to have three in a night.

However, not every party has as many top veterans as tonight, and Steven's signature and Catherine's long-sleeved dance will be attended by more than a third of the house's pundits - all in private names, and these pundits can play a very important role in the direction of the Oscar statuette.

Although the party was held to highlight the "Munich massacre", the presence of the top people in power meant that there were countless opportunities in every corner of the party.

George knows that he is now facing a dilemma, since the "good night, good luck" plagiarism, he has fallen into the quagmire of fame, Warner Bros. in order to maintain a fair and innocent image, will definitely not easily help him, this is the cruelest reality in Hollywood, the boat of interests will be overturned, if George can't complete the self-rescue, it is only a matter of time before he is completely reduced to an outcast, so he desperately needs such an absolute opportunity to turn the situation around, as long as he can slightly recover the disadvantage, start again, and persuade Warner Bros. to strike again, it is no longer an impossible task.

After quietly adjusting his breathing, George took a step, snapped his fingers at the waiter, took a glass of champagne, and walked straight to Catherine's place with a smile on his face - the first to greet the master was the basic etiquette. As one of the most well-connected actors in Hollywood, George is all too familiar with an occasion like tonight, and it is naturally impossible to deal with it.

As expected, before George could get close to Catherine, Jeff-Daniels was already approaching, "Hey, George, haven't seen each other in a while, how are you doing?" Jeff gave George a warm hug and offered to say hello.

"I'm busy, but I don't even know what I'm busy with, and the New Year has already passed." George calmly coped with it, patted Jeff on the back hard, and a big smile appeared on his face, "What about you?" Recently, the topic of your has been hot, and I've watched 'Squid and Whale', and it's wonderful, it's really exciting! Now you're in the middle of the spring. ”

"Squid and Whale" has been highly sought after recently, and it is widely believed during the awards season that this work has the potential to replicate the miracle of last year's "A Cup of Wine", and make breakthroughs in several categories such as Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture. Jeff is the hero of this work.

Jeff chuckled, "Gotta thank you Lance." If it weren't for Lance's discernment, I'm afraid the audience wouldn't have been able to appreciate this work now. ”

George's smile couldn't help but froze slightly, how could he forget that the distribution rights of "Squid and Whale" were bought by Chaos Pictures. At the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, the two works of "Squid and Whale" and "River Bustle" were in the limelight, and finally both won the final award, but the follow-up development of the two works was completely different, the distribution rights of "River Bustle" were acquired at a high price, but "Squid and Whale" was not cared for for a long time, and it was not until September that Chaos Pictures made a move, which avoided the crisis of this work being buried.

In the past three months, "Squid and Whale" has participated in many grand exhibitions such as the Independent Spirit Award, the New York Film Festival, the Chicago Film Festival, and the Austin Film Festival. Chaos Pictures, as a distribution company and the driving force behind the scenes, has made great contributions.

It's one thing to be true, but it's another to socialize. George didn't expect Jeff to come up so loudly and directly, which caught him off guard. But George's experience in many battles naturally did not make him timid, so he nodded his head, "He's always good at finding details, isn't he?" "Details, what details?" Good night, good luck"? One sentence seems meaningful.

"He is truly an amazing man." Not only did Jeff not deny it, but he also smiled and nodded in agreement, which made George's chest feel a little stuffy, "Have you seen 'Fruit Hard Candy'?" His performance in it was amazing, and I swear, if it were me, I wouldn't have that courage, let alone that courage. As an actor, I was stunned by the surprises he bringed. ”

It's a private party for college PR, and it's not just polite. How exactly does such a party work? Just like Jeff. No one will directly say "vote for so-and-so work" or "vote for so-and-so actor", but quietly praise a certain performance or a certain work in the conversation, so that those judges who have not watched the work will be interested, those who have already seen the work will resonate, and most importantly, those who do not plan to watch the work at all will have a vague subconscious, when they are not sure who they should vote for, this subconscious will lead them to check the "correct" name.

So, at a private party like this, there's no word that doesn't come out of the brain – and even if it does, the PR team will arrange it in advance and follow those words.

Jeff has been in Hollywood for 20 years, and in 1985 he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy for "The Purple Rose" with Woody Allen.

Jeff naturally knew the rules of the college's public relations well, and his words just now couldn't be more obvious, he was playing for Lanzla, in front of George.

George's mouth was a little bitter, but it couldn't be revealed on the surface, "I can't imagine what kind of pain Lance experienced during the shooting. This sentence is also a word, not only alluding to the criticism he endured in the plagiarism, but also referring to something else: George is also tortured in "Sinrena", his agent is trapped in the Middle East, and eventually becomes an outcast, enduring unimaginable torture and pain, and the whole work is a satire of the self-proclaimed democracy and justice of the US government - ironic that they are nothing more than dolls of the big conglomerates behind them.

This work shows not only George's political ambitions, but also the production team's in-depth research on Wall Street, government, and the Middle East. Without the "Good Night, Good Luck" plagiarism, "Cinrena" would have garnered more attention during the awards season, which is what George has been working on lately - the fate of "Good Night, Good Luck" is no longer in his hands, but "Cinrena" still retains hope.

"Indeed, it is really hard for us to imagine that from the screenwriter to the actor, the effort put in by Lance is absolutely beyond my ability." Jeff's words once again made George's words astringent, without mentioning the director, but emphasizing the screenwriter to the actor, this is not a hint at the unfair treatment of "good night, good luck", or what? "By the way, I heard a few friends mention your 'Xin Ruina', and they all said that the content is a bit profound, but it is worth watching, and your performance in it is very outstanding. Who knows? Maybe it's your vintage. ”

After saying that, Jeff smiled and patted George's arm, "Enjoy this night." He stepped forward again, leaving George alone in his place.

George's left hand, which had been stuffed into his pocket, had clenched into a fist, and his whole body began to tremble lightly from the exertion, and the flames of shame almost consumed him. Jeff's words just now are really clear, if George doesn't pave the way for Lance's actor awards, then "Sinrena" will have no future. Or to put it another way, if George wants to make a difference this year's awards season, he has to open up the situation for Lance himself, or he won't have a chance to turn around.

This...... It's like being slapped in the face, and then smiling and sending the other side of the face, and the indescribable shame almost burns George to ashes. (To be continued.) )
