"We crave all the good, but reject all the good behind the price, I think Mantos is such a child who doesn't grow up, this journey of life, at first glance is the life of Coke, but why not Mantos sort himself out, a journey of self-clarification? Coke and Mantos are heads and tails of the coin, and the story creates this eerie, humorous narcissus romance outside of all the beautiful scenery, and the relationship between Mantos and Coke is not so much love as how one accepts oneself. I couldn't help but laugh in surprise when I saw the scene where the old Mantos pampered the young Coke - Salvi is really bold, and Jennifer and Heath, two of the most talented actors in Hollywood's young area, are really good at acting and daring to act......"

"I went to buy tickets after reading the Douban movie review, and I complained a little, IMAX is so difficult to buy tickets, and it was hard to buy it until 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, but it's just a corner, hehe! Fortunately, my daughter-in-law didn't blame me - the movie is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the story is thought-provoking! If you can't say something too profound, you think it's worth chewing repeatedly, when will the download version be released? ”

"35 details you need to know about 'Journey of Life'."

"The truth behind "Journey of Life" is revealed, Mantos is actually a fictional character imagined by Cola? The evidence is as follows—"

Perhaps in North America, in the world, the beginning of "Life Journey" and "Code Name Shero" are far from comparable, but in Chinese mainland, the beginning of this film is not inferior to "Code Name Shero", or even "Avatar" - this is not because the commerciality of "Life Journey" can surpass "Avatar", or the audience appreciation level in Chinese mainland has suddenly risen sharply, and this phenomenon will occur, mainly because in the past few years, the Chinese market has doubled every year - Such an astonishing expansion speed and exponential development of the market have made the box office figures created by "Avatar" less difficult to surpass - and in terms of box office proportion, "Life Journey" is still inferior to "Avatar", but in early November, this colder market, still contributed more than 70% of the box office to the market.

"The romantic temperament of this film has aroused the attention of Chinese audiences, and it has also made it create a good single-day box office on the mainland side one after another, and even showed a magical reversal trend - after the start of the first week, with the spread of word-of-mouth, and the increase in the score on the Chinese film website Douban, the box office of "Life Journey" has been rising, so far, more than 300,000 people have logged in to Douban to score "Life Journey", and many well-known film critics have given it high marks and praised this as a ' A film that gets the essence of reincarnation in the East and the idea of yin and yang'. ”

After typing the line in Word, Caitlin, the young editor of People magazine, stretched, opened the box office website to read the report, and returned to the document. "And in North America, this film exudes a philosophical speculative atmosphere, and it has also been praised by the audience, 'This film is like a work of art, a good combination of phenomena, thinking and story, and of course a beautiful picture, this high degree of unity is something I have not seen in other films', film critic Alain. Morrison said, 'It reminds me of painting, sculpture...... It's telling a story in itself, not the director imposing it on you. ’”

And on the mobile ticketing app TikTok, "Life Journey" also got its 30,000th review, which is also the highest number of movie reviews on TikTok, and the movie's audience seems to be particularly enthusiastic about discussion, and as of the time of the interview, "Life Journey" has been in theaters for a month and a half It got a box office of 190 million yuan in North America, and the global box office has exceeded 700 million, and what makes it unique in box office blockbusters is that it is also favored by awards, Jennifer has also received countless nominations in her career, becoming the darling of the Outpost Award, and she has also received the close attention of Hollywood filmmakers Heath Ledger, who has become a big winner in many award nominations, but, unlike the average Oscar-nominated film, you can hardly see the main cast in those commercial dinners, except for Heath Ledger who will attend similar public relations occasions, although Jennifer is in Los Angeles, but it seems that she refuses to make award PR for "Life Journey", is this a new attitude she has shown towards the award ceremony? Half a year after ending a marriage, she and her ex-husband Cesare. Vijri is still in and out of pairs, often photographed appearing at the same time in big dream movies, how should Jennifer balance the relationship between the two? Recent rumors about her romance with filmmaker Samson ......"

Glancing at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, Caitlin whispered an 'opps', hurriedly typed out the draft introduction, stood up and swept the clutter on the table into her bag, "Give way, give way, I'm going to be late for the interview-"

There was no time to pick up the car in the parking lot, so she called a taxi directly, and Caitlin stepped into the spacious office of Big Dream Films - she looked left and right curiously, secretly assessed the similarities and differences between Big Dream and independent film companies such as Lionsgate and Pinnacle, and at the same time walked to the front desk to express her intentions.

"Hey, Mary, I'm not late, am I?" After being taken out of the office, seeing that the door was still closed and seemed to be empty inside, Caitlin's heart suddenly lifted, and when she saw Jennifer's assistant, who was also her acquaintance, Mary. Effie, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. "I don't think I'm late—"

"Oh, of course you don't, but J.J. is in a meeting right now." Mary has her signature amiable smile – a look she is known for in the industry, especially by paparazzi and journalists, who call it 'Mary's Angel Smile', and she usually uses it for two purposes: to deepen affection when giving favors, and to evoke memories when making excessive demands. "Caitlin, can I take a look at the interview outline first?"

"Of course." Secretly raising her guard, Caitlyn pulled out an outline and handed it over, while mentally repeating several times the sensitive question of preparing for the raid later: the topic of this interview should revolve around "The Journey of Life", but Caitlyn did not think that readers of "People" would be interested in such a simple interview, and no matter what the final interview content would be distorted, she was ready to try to dig into Jennifer's private life - at least, the editor-in-chief Tina could see her abilities, And with the results of the interview and PR bargaining, she can also get more exclusive photos for the magazine, which is a favorable bargaining chip for her promotion.

She smiled kindly at Mary, who was reading the outline, "--of course, please take a look." ”

Mary snorted absentmindedly, her eyes quickly swiping over the paper, and Catelyn looked at her designer clothes with jealousy: Mary. Effie was her age, but her inadvertent shrewdness, and her sense of superiority in having seen the world and working with the best minds in the world, made her feel a little ashamed of herself.

Just as she was thinking this, there was a commotion in the distance, and Mary looked up at it, a hint of anxiety flashing across her face, and she lifted the paper, which quickened the speed of her reading. Caitlin craned her neck and looked at the other side expectantly—several people were clustered around a familiar face and headed for the office, except for Jennifer. Outside of Jefferson, she recognized Jim at first sight. Davidson, Hollywood's most famous expert on online public opinion control, Judy. Ackerman, the top of Hollywood's PR power list, and-

"Paul, can you send me a report on the growth of the Chinese market in the past five years, the bar table I saw before is quite good." Jennifer, who was wearing a white suit and professional light makeup, looked like a professional leader, said absentmindedly as she walked forward, while Hollywood's most high-profile data analyst, China Tong Paul. Degarabi Dean nodded, flipping through the folders as he turned onto the other side of the road.

Jim. Davidson immediately filled his vacancy, he sneakily leaned into Jennifer's ear and whispered a few words, Jennifer also lowered her voice to talk to him, and soon, he also nodded and left the group, turned back and walked to the other side of the aisle.

"About the last round of Oscar publicity ......" Judy. Ackerman quickened his pace to overtake Jim, and although she was well-known in the media industry and was the object of admiration for minor editors such as Caitlin, there was no arrogance in the presence of Jennifer and her dozens, "After the People interview - ah, she's here." ”

"Caitlin. Murray," Caitlin quickly jumped to her feet and politely extended her hand to Jennifer, "People Senior Editor." ”

"Hi, nice to meet you." Jennifer took her hand and shook it, her eyes drifting to her side at the same time - Caitlyn noticed that Mary. Effie nodded slightly, handing the outline back to Jennifer, "But we have limited time, so-"

Unlike the stars she knew, Caitlin was a little surprised to find that Jennifer - although she played so many complex and aura roles, her way of thinking seemed to be very different from those romantic and casual artists, she could feel the sound of Jennifer's brain running in the skull, clicking, like a fast and precise machine, excellent performance, excellent multitasking system, very entrepreneurial, and quite pragmatic, not 'let's change the world' radical. Emotional entrepreneurship.

"Of course, of course." She squeezed the sweaty palm of her hand and walked into the office with Jennifer. "Water will do, thank you."

Mary. Effie poured two glasses of water for them herself, and Caitlin noticed that Jennifer also drank pure water instead of drinks: so she was still so disciplined in her body management, as rumored in the industry, for ten years.

After turning on the recorder, the eyes of the two sides met for a while, Jennifer looked at her innocently, and Caitlin's brain went blank, until Jennifer suddenly couldn't help laughing, she woke up and scolded, "Shit! I'm sorry, I'm sorry - not to waste your time on purpose. ”

Compared with the rational entrepreneur just now, Jennifer is much more relaxed now, she took the outline in front of Caitlin and looked at it a few times, "Can you understand - newcomer?" ”

"It's the first time I've interviewed an actor of your calibre independently," Caitlin admitted, "and I think I've been fooled by your anger just now - like a moth to a fire, you really have that kind of charm that makes you forget." ”

"And it's really not surprising that you got this opportunity for an independent interview," Jennifer's eyes flashed with a gentle smile, and she joked approachably, "You're so good at complimenting people - the point is that the expression is so sincere, maybe you should be an actor." ”

It looked like the interview was going to start very well, and Caitlin's heart was beating a little faster, and she couldn't believe her good fortune - it seemed that Jennifer was in a really good mood, she was in a relaxed state of small talk, not a professional interviewee, and this- the probability of such a thing happening -

In fact, this time Caitlin was able to get the opportunity to be interviewed independently entirely because Jennifer was recognized as the most boring interview subject in the industry. - Whether you're a veteran or a novice, you can only get the same interview recordings from her, you know? Her shell is indestructible, and her team has planned the final amount of information in the interview before the interview, and she will never give you any more points, and certainly not less. In the 11 years since her first interview, that hasn't changed. Her editor-in-chief, Tina. That's how Dimon described Jennifer, who was the interviewer for Jennifer's first cover story. "So, you want to go? sure, why not? As long as you don't punch her in the face, you'll always end up bringing home a copy of the interview. ”

"Oh, I don't know whether to be happy or sad, because it was from the heart." Caitlyn clutched her heart and half-jokingly said, observing Jennifer's expression attentively, once again confirming her suspicions: Jennifer wasn't pretending to be relaxed, she looked like she was really relaxed, and it made Caitlyn feel a moment of panic - how could she take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Damn, she wasn't prepared at all......

In the end, she had to improvise and deal with her instincts, "After all, I've always been a fan of yours - really, you've conquered me since Monroe, your beauty, your aura show, and most importantly, the huge difference between her and you in reality - can you ask how you did it?" You know, you're usually -- you just now, and Monroe in the movie—"

"Yes, yes," Jennifer smiled pleasantly, and it was clear that Caitlyn's compliment did make her a little proud, "I understand your problem - there is a big difference between making a movie, acting in a movie and running a company, and when I was in Big Dream Movies, there was no doubt that people expected to see efficient decision-making, calm, objective strategic judgment - but when you were acting in a movie, it was a different story entirely. ”

"So how did you manage to switch between the two roles?" Caitlin asked curiously, she had decided to discard the interview outline. "And—don't think I'm praising you again—how can I do so well in both areas?"

"In a way, I had a great external environment, and my CEO, Cesare, took good care of the company when I left to film," Jennifer cupped her cheeks and smiled knowingly at Caitlyn, as if to silently mock her excitement at the mention of 'Cesare', her sparkling green eyes slyly twitched, and the corners of her lips turned upwards, revealing her white teeth, and Caitlyn's heart couldn't help but stir: it couldn't be felt from the screen, but Jennifer really was in reality'Spirit', quick to react, perceptive, humorous and tolerant, and charming - this smile just now made even a woman feel a little moved. "And when I get back to Los Angeles, the business allows me to quickly get out of my role, like two stilts, and they help me keep my work fresh so that I can move forward."

"Very clever metaphor." Caitlin came back to her senses and praised sincerely—she felt that her fan mentality seemed to be getting heavier, and her polite words were on the verge of coming true. "It was also a great solution, because when we were filming "Monroe", we all knew that unpleasant event-"

"Yes, but that's not a problem anymore." Jennifer didn't pretend to be stupid, but nodded briskly and admitted, "Of course, your understanding of acting is also constantly advancing, maybe at that time you felt that getting too deep into the play would make people nervous, but now I can handle this problem well." ”

"It seems to be one of your characteristics, you're constantly changing – your acting, your character, this 'Journey of Life' is also a big breakthrough – and that includes your attitude towards awards?" Caitlin seized the opportunity to ask the question, which she didn't write in the outline, "Journey of Life is probably the highest-grossing film of this year's nominees, but you barely advertise it for the awards, is that because your opinion of the awards has changed?" ”

"I wouldn't be interviewing you if I wasn't interested in the award at all," Jennifer's answer made the corners of Caitlin's mouth twitch: well, it looks like she's really being very honest today. "Of course I'm still very interested in awards, and there's no one who doesn't like honors, but it's -- it's now a bit of a back-to-the-back pursuit, because you have a company, and you don't always come back to Los Angeles very often, so you have to take care of it first, right? I'll give in to the awards, and I'll do some more publicity when I get the chance, but -- you know, since the best outcome is a nomination-"

"Wow!" Caitlin couldn't help but laugh, "I have to say, Jennifer, even though this is my first interview with you, you're - really - acting very differently than I expected, I mean, I feel like I'm really talking to you, not like the rest of the people are experiencing, feeling like I'm just watching a video." ”

Jennifer laughed happily at her somewhat bold comment, her beautiful face sparkling like a black hole that caught Catherine's attention—the charm that flickered with calm and pleasure made her feel a constant and intense attraction, "Yes, yes, I know what you mean—"

She scratched her cheek thoughtfully, "I used to be very closed to the media, and I just wanted them to see what I let them see, but -- just like the change in my attitude towards acting, about awards, it may be a gradual process. ”

"So it's very relaxing now – can you ask why? Why is there such a shift? ”

"Honestly, in the past, when your career was still on the rise, you would have liked not to get into trouble and interfere with your development because of the media -- but now that we're past that, I don't need to be so cautious from a career perspective and I can share more of my true self with everyone—" Jennifer's expression softened, "and one more important thing is that maybe I'm more confident now, I'm not afraid to share." ”

"Confidence." Catherine resisted a great sense of excitement and repeated casually, "So, did you have low self-esteem in the past? ”

"I wouldn't say inferiority...... But it's true that I'm more confident now than I was before. Jennifer laughed—she winked at Catherine, as if she had seen through her patience, and the latter couldn't help but be intoxicated for a moment, "Of course everyone has their own problems, so don't doubt it, my life wasn't as good as it was from the beginning, and the impact of your family of origin on you is indeed difficult to change, it's a long process and requires a lot of opportunities." ”

"Can you share with us about the latest change?"

"I'm sorry - this one isn't shared."

"Okay." Catelyn laughed twice, and she protested a little coquettishly, "So what can I ask?" ”

"You can test it." Jennifer said, like a challenge in a friend's small talk, propped her chin and said with interest, "Just try." ”

"Uh—your current relationship with Cesare?" Caitlin boldly challenged.

"Haha, you're very good at seizing opportunities, aren't you?" Jennifer spread her hands, "--It's good, really, we started as friends, so it's not hard to be friends again." ”

Caitlyn didn't dare to go any further on the subject, and she suppressed the question 'So what do you think of the person he was dating lately' without asking, "So...... Have you ever had a new date since your divorce? ”

"Yes." Jennifer nodded, "But it's privacy for both parties, so—"

"Of course," Caitlin said at once, and in fact, Jennifer's 'had' was worth a thousand dollars, "then, your lunch with Samson before—"

"We're just talking about movies, and there's a lot of other people's around." Jennifer rolled her eyes, "But of course you don't take pictures of someone else's presence, do you?" ”

"So, isn't Samson your type?"

"He's a very attractive man, very good-tempered, very attractive, and I don't deny that I'm more open to new love songs now - but the problem is that I don't have time, so there's really nothing between us."

Samson was chasing her...... Caitlin made a mental note, but quickly laughed self-deprecatingly: Is this news? Is it unusual for someone to be courting Jennifer? "O-Kay, then, would you mind talking about your intuition? You don't seem to like talking about it in detail before, but I have to ask, you know, this time the box office of "Journey of Life" -- and now almost all the media is talking about your intuition, is it really that smart? ”

"Oh!" Jennifer laughed, "That's a sharp question—"

She smiled a little mysteriously, leaned out of the table with her upper body, and lowered her voice playfully—"Let me give you some surprise?" ”

Caitlin couldn't help but hold her breath, "sure." ”

"- My instincts are indeed sharp, but I'm not a prophet, and my box office predictions for Avatar and Codename Shero are based on a lot of data analysis." Jennifer spread her hands, and she lengthened her voice, "As for 'Journey of Life' - it's not my movie, so I didn't make a prediction, and it's not a number out of instinct, it's basically a random number that I made up just to appease the producers, to be honest - it was completely coincidental to be able to guess." ”

"Coincidence?" Caitlin involuntarily raised her voice.

"Yes, coincidence—" Jennifer affirmed, "so it's really frustrating, you see, it's an aura that you don't want, and people think you're so much better than you actually are." ”

"Uh-" Caitlyn said, blinking, once again wondering if she was in the Yin Yang Demon Realm. "Are you sure—are you saying that to me, Jennifer? You know, it's -- at least for you, it's going to be big news. ”

"It's going to make me a little headstrong, doesn't it? Even the box office can be used as a joke to make the film look like a joke—" Jennifer smiled and shrugged, "It's acceptable to me, really—I want people to recognize me more about the real me, and not the illusory wonder girl." ”

"You think your personal image is a little too perfect."

"At least there is a gap between me and myself, and there are many, many misunderstandings, such as the skill of accurately predicting the box office by intuition, which I didn't have originally, but now everyone thinks so, which is a burden for me."

"And you're going to let people know more about you—" Caitlyn couldn't believe what she was saying - not that she didn't believe Jennifer's sincerity, she just didn't believe in her luck. "Wow, looks like I'm going to have to search for dry intestines, and I'm going to have to find more questions before your whim passes - taking advantage of your PR and manager not being on the side-"

"It's not my purpose to make everyone realize that I'm not me, I just don't want to embellish myself too much, at least I'm more relaxed than before. So, yes, you can ask as many questions as you can, if I feel like I want to answer-" Jennifer shrugged, but her phone rang at the same time, "Oh-it's time-"

In Caitlin's huge disappointment, Jennifer smiled sweetly at her, "Don't worry, this interview is just the beginning, and you will get more news points in our interviews in the future." ”

"What I got today is enough for me to be satisfied." Caitlin said sincerely, she was still quickly recalling the conversation in her head, there were too many points to report, the first time she disclosed her post-divorce relationship with Cesare? Her statement on the state of her relationship, her analysis of herself...... It would be the greatest story of her career. "Thank you very much, really, Jennifer, for not only taking time out of your busy schedule—"

Jennifer listened to her words of thanks as she walked side by side to the door, and she smiled softly, "Oh, don't say that, it's been a pleasure chatting with you - if it weren't for the fact that I've been really busy lately - you see, I still have nearly 24 hours of work to complete before I leave for San Francisco the day after tomorrow."

When she opened the door for Caitlin, the latter realized that Jennifer had just dropped her off at the door of the office herself—Jennifer, the Oscar-winning actress and the top of Hollywood's power list, had actually delivered her, a nobody, to the door.

"You really don't have to—" She choked and barely swallowed her flattered humility, even though her heart was in turmoil, and she even felt the urge to shed tears, but she still said decently. "That's the price of success, isn't it? Thank you so much for your time, Jennifer, I'm not going to delay you any more-"

"Okay, look forward to seeing you next time." Jennifer said, her eyes curled up beautifully, as if once again seeing through her excitement, "Goodbye, Caitlyn." ”

Trying to grit her teeth to keep her legs from weak, Caitlin beckoned goodbye to Jennifer and walked out of the reception hall with reserved steps—it wasn't until she entered the elevator that she covered her mouth and let out a series of suppressed screams, kicking the floor desperately: "OhmyGod, ohmygod- I'm not dreaming—I'm really not dreaming—this report—no—J.J. is so nice to me—no, no!" She's so pretty—"

When Caitlyn was completely unsure of what to do and felt the illusion that the entertainment industry was about to be earthquaked because of this report, Jenny, who was in the chairman's room, stretched comfortably, recalling with relish the vivid micro-expressions on Caitlin's face in the past 30 minutes, and her colorful reactions greatly entertained Jenny, and also made the fatigue she had accumulated over the past few days disappear: "Compared to before, the interview has become more fun." ”

She didn't have too many concerns about the possible repercussions of the news, as she said, that a moderate amount of truth could no longer hurt her career, and that Jenny was really, really tired of lying to the public, and that honesty really made her feel good, and even a sense of self-liberation: perhaps her personal image would indeed suffer from it, but - this is also an acceptable loss, or rather, it is also a truth that should be returned.

"Jenny." However, the knock at the door quickly pulled her back into the real world - Cesare, with a somewhat messy hairstyle, stood in the doorway and gestured to her, "Little conference room, now—it's only 48 hours before our final presentation to GE." ”
