After parking the car, the brown-haired woman sitting in the driver's seat first looked at the three-story building on the side of the road through the window, and then looked down at the card with the address in her hand to confirm that she was not looking for the wrong place, pushed the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the small building.

It was a small building with a lot of companies or studios, and there were some nameplates hanging through guò, and she could see that most of the companies that stayed here were in the film and television business, which was common in Burbank and the whole of Greater Los Angeles, and many companies like this were established every day, and many went bankrupt at the same time.

Hollywood is not only full of actors, but also dreamers from other professions come to the City of Angels, where countless talents in screenwriting, photography, costumes, makeup, etc., come here to pursue the dream of success and the desire for fame and fortune, and here brings together the world's top film talents.

The brown-haired woman is sure of this, and she came to Los Angeles from Chicago in search of her own movie dreams.

However, with years of relevant experience, she understands that in Hollywood, a real place, if you want to realize your dreams, you often have to start from the very basics.

Walking up the stairs to the second floor, I came to the door of an office, looked at the house number, and knocked softly.

The door was pulled open from the inside, and it was a middle-aged Latin woman, and the brown-haired woman's eyes crossed her to look at the office behind her, which was supposed to have a large suite, unusually shabby in decoration and furnishings, not unlike those small film studios that were about to close.

"Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged woman asked.

"I'm here for an interview and I have an appointment with Miss Coppola."

After saying this, the middle-aged woman let her into the room, then knocked on the door of the suite, and after a short time of entering, she came out again and said to her. "What's your name?"

"Elizabeth? Tina? Phenanthrene. She replied earnestly.

"Please come in." The middle-aged woman pointed to the door over there, "Miss Coppola and Mr. Rosenberg are waiting for you inside." ”

Nodding, taking two deep breaths, holding the bag containing the resume, Tina? Fei walked over and knocked softly on the door. After hearing a monotonous nasal voice coming from inside, I pushed the door open and walked in.

The suites inside are as simple as the outside, except for a few cabinets, two desks, and a small sofa for entertaining guests, but three frames hanging from the walls, including a bus leaping out of flames, an island shrouded in the flames of an explosion, and a spaceship hovering above the White House.

Don't have to look at it a second time, Tina? Fei also knows that this is a masterpiece that has been released by the owner of the studio here, the first two have been regarded as classics by countless action fans, and the latter has produced a world-class influence. A few days ago, the global box office just crossed the $900 million mark!

And the young directors who sat behind her desk and were the same age as her were the biggest reason for her to apply for a job in this studio.

Everyone wants to follow in the footsteps of successful people and speed up their own progress by the way!

Sitting on the small sofa and talking to Sophia, who had her first interview? Coppola whispered, Tina? Fei's eyes subconsciously turned to the other side, Duke? Rosenberg seemed to be looking at something. It doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

She waits patiently, every opportunity in Hollywood is rare. Although this is only an assistant position, is it Duke, one of Hollywood's top commercial directors? Rosenberg's assistant! As far as she knows, there are hundreds of people who come for interviews these days!

Like Catherine? Kennedy to Steven? Spielberg, the assistant position next to the big director, is often a shortcut to success, Tina? Faye really wants to get this position. For this reason, I did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to apply for a screenwriter in "Weekend Night Live", after all, it was just a very ordinary position in a huge screenwriting team, and this is the only assistant position next to the top director!

What's more, the person who sat in this position before was Sophia? Coppola!

Before applying, Tina? Fei inquired carefully. Is this Miss Coppola working for Duke? After three years as his personal assistant, Rosenberg has become the assistant director and executive producer of his new film, "Saving Private Ryan," and presumably could launch his own work when the time is right.

Tina? Fei's ambition is not so big, she just wants to become an excellent screenwriter and producer in the future.

But these have to start from the basics, step by step, if you want to speed up, the best way is to borrow the strength of others.

Closing the financial statement, Duke looked up and looked over the couch, a woman with short to medium hair, with the tough face of a typical Western woman, who seemed to be about her own age.

This was the sixth and final assistant candidate he interviewed after returning from France.

Duke didn't say anything, but nodded to Sophia, these are the candidates she picked out from the first round of interviews, Sophia said a few words, this is called Tina? The Filipino woman began to introduce herself.

"I'm from Pennsylvania, graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in theater, and before coming to Los Angeles, I worked at the Second City theater as a playwright, actor, playwright, and assistant producer......

An hour later, the interview is over, Tina? Faye smiled and walked out of the Duke's studio, although she didn't get a definite answer, but she could tell, Sophia? Coppola and Duke? Rosenberg was very happy with herself, and it would probably not take long for her to get the job.

It's a job that can make her Hollywood dream official!

Tina? Fei has never doubted this, standing next to Hollywood's top directors, what he can see and touch is definitely not what ordinary employees of film companies can imagine.

"That's it?"

In the Duke's studio, Sophia? Coppola asked Duke, "Elizabeth?" Tina? Phenanthrene? ”

"Do you have any better people to recommend?" Duke asked, looking at her.

Those who can accept the assistant position are generally newcomers who have not been in the industry for a long time, like Tina? There are not many people like Fei who have relatively rich experience.

"Touched these two times." Sophia shook her head, "I have a good impression of her, and I feel like she's the most suitable one of all the people I interviewed. ”

"Remember to inform her." Duke stood up and put on his coat, "Also, don't forget to sign a non-disclosure agreement. You take her first, and if it's appropriate, stay. ”

"Got it." Sophia answered, packed her bags, and walked outside with Duke, "It's about 6 o'clock in the evening, you meet and talk in person, if you can be satisfied with each other, sign a public relations contract, if you are not satisfied, ......"

She rolled her eyes and pretended to be helpless, "Anyway, this is what I think is the most suitable, my dad and mom, and Nicholas all use this PR team." ”

In Hollywood, almost every day there will be news related to the film, director or actors, especially before and after the release of the film, there are often various magazine interviews, red carpet walks, the latest behind-the-scenes footage of a certain movie release, and even the emotional situation of a leading actor at some critical moments, etc., in order to win attention, and this kind of media exposure is actually planned and controlled by a behind-the-scenes team, and they are often ignored but essential public relations (publicity) team.

Hollywood's six major companies have their own public relations departments, which are responsible for the public relations of their own films produced or distributed, and the two more important positions are and, which is often referred to as PT and PR.

The former's main job is to record the filming process during the production of the film, collect any information that may be used as promotional material, and prepare the personal introduction of the main crew members, the plot introduction of the film, and other public relations documents, and many of Duke's past film promotions have come from them.

The latter do not have a fixed working hours, the average working time invested in a drama is 7 to 16 weeks, and they are mainly responsible for static shooting, with the aim of providing high-quality photos for the promotion of the film, in other words, the so-called street shots or live pictures of the director and the lead actors published in the media when a film is shot are often made by these people.

In addition to the studio PR department, Hollywood also has many large and small PR agencies and independent PR people, who help actors, directors, films, programs, brands, etc. to implement their PR strategic plans in the form of outsourcing.

In fact, the work of these people can be summed up in very simple terms, that is, dealing with the media, including managing the image of the employer, designing speeches, arranging interviews, and so on.

At dinner time, the person Duke met was an independent publicist, although he said he was independent, but in fact there was a team working for her.

It was a white woman in her fifties, and Duke talked to her for a while, and they were all relatively happy with each other.

The other party is satisfied because Duke is obviously a very high-quality customer resource, and being able to serve him means that he can get a large commission every year.

And Duke was satisfied, firstly, because of the recommendation of the Coppola family, and secondly, because he knew Pani? Who Kelis is, including past and was!

In the past, Pani? Kelis not only served the Coppola family, but also served as Clint ? Eastwood, Jane? Fonda, Al? The public relations of Pacino and others, and it was during her tenure as public relations that these people gradually stepped into the position of Hollywood superstars, and their abilities can be seen.

And Duke doesn't have much memory of the former Hollywood PR, and still has a little bit of it with Pani? Kelis-related content, in another era he has experienced, Pani? Will Kelis be Tom soon? Cruise's public relations, together with CAA, shaped the most glorious stage of Liangtang.

After ending the cooperation with Liangtang, Pani? Kelis vs. Angelina? Julie signed a PR contract, and it was under her operation that Angelina? Julie was able to take off the title of "bad woman" and step by step to the peak of Hollywood.

Because of the relative proximity of time, Duke still vaguely remembers Pani? One of Kelis's most classic PR campaigns, her employer was Robert? Pattinson, the opponent is Christine? Stewart is extremely behind the scenes. (To be continued......)
