Chapter 521: Shining Debut (Medium)
"I don't know if I've ever seen a standing ovation so loud and so loud from the audience, and it lasted so long." βRoger of the Chicago Sun. Albert
On September 1st, at the Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado, "Juno" participated in and held its premiere, which sounded the first shot of ZX Group's foray into Hollywood, and it also achieved a good response. Many film critics and media who watched "Juno" gave it high praise.
A week later, on Sept. 8, at the Toronto International Film Festival, "Juno" premiered again and attracted the attention of more media and big-name critics. This time, the audience's response was even more enthusiastic, and after the film was played, everyone stood up and gave the film a long and enthusiastic applause. And the reputation of the film has also spread through this film festival.
The famous Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger. Albert gave the film "Juno" the highest rating of four stars, and before the end of the year, he directly selected the film as the best film of the year.
"The best movie of the year...... There is no more performance than Christine this year. Is Juno as Stuart better? I don't think so. "Roger. Albert exclaimed, "Director? I also think that there is no one who can be better and more talented than Xiahou Zhongying this year. I announce that from today onwards I will be a fan of Xiahou Zhongying. β
"See no, see no, Roger. Albert said, "There's no one better than me this year." In the office of Xiahou Zhongying, a company of ZX Group America, Christine said to him happily with a pile of newspapers in her hand.
"Yes, yes." Xiahou Zhongying was a little helpless. Since the debut of "Juno" at the Telluride Film Festival, Christine has begun to collect all the review articles about the movie, smiling when she sees good reviews, and rebutting angrily when she sees bad reviews, full of an ignorant emotional little girl. And every time he had to refute the commentator in front of Xiahou Zhongying, the noise made him dizzy. "I said that the movies you starred in before didn't get high reviews, so you have to be so excited?"
"Of course it's necessary, I don't have your credit for the praise I got before." Christine grinned and said, "But this time it's different, this is the movie you made for me." Come, give you a kiss. As he spoke, he sat directly in Xiahou Zhongying's arms. Give him a passionate wet kiss.
"And this. And the New York Post said that the most influential woman in Hollywood this year is none other than this 16-year-old pregnant girl, who has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth mixed with extraordinary maturity and intelligence. Take a look. Take a look. Ha Lu Ha ...... They say I'm the most influential woman in Hollywood this year. β
Xiahou Zhongying put one hand around Christine's waist. rubbed his temples with one hand and leaned his head over helplessly.
"Kristen. Stewart's innate aggressive and aggressive qualities made her a perfect fit in the film world. And this film is further establishing her stardom. With vision, Ha Lu Ha ......" Without waiting for Xiahou Zhongying to finish reading the review article of the "New York Post", Christine turned out the review article of "Movie Signal Light" again, and then Ha Lu Ha laughed, "But am I so aggressive?" Really, ruining my image of a pure little beauty. β
Xiahou Zhongying couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"An immature director, an imperfect work, the entertainment brought by it is also intermittent. What kind of vision does this "Film Review" have, dare to say that my man is an immature director...... "Christine is angry, if "Film Review" says that she is not good, maybe she will refute it a little, but they say bad things about Xiahou Zhongying, but they can touch her reverse scales, and scold "Film Review" until her mouth is dry.
"Sister Wen Ying, is there something?" Just as Christine was still thinking about the curse of "Film Review", Xiahou Zhongying saw Jiang Wenying standing at the door of his office with some embarrassment, so he patted Christine on the back, motioned for her to get up first, and asked Jiang Wenying with a smile.
Jiang Wenying has a straightforward personality, is an urgent person, and is a bit of a hot person in doing things, and he is too familiar with Xiahou Zhongying, so sometimes he forgets some small details, such as forgetting to knock on the door when he enters his office, etc. "Juno" has just participated in two film festivals, and it has received very high praise, and most of the media critics who have watched "Juno" have given the film full affirmation, especially the famous film critic of "Chicago Sun" Roger Brown. Albert's comment made her even more excited, and in her excitement, she immediately rushed to Xiahou Zhongying's office, and it was inevitable that she forgot to knock on the door under this mood.
When she entered Xiahou Zhongying's office, she saw Christine sitting in his arms, and she was a little embarrassed.
"Well, it's something." Jiang Wenying first answered Xiahou Zhongying's question, and then nodded to Christine, even if he said hello, "Based on the fact that more than 90% of the media commentators who have watched "Juno" have given high praise to the movie, the company's planning department submitted a publicity plan to produce a hamburger-shaped phone used by Miss Christine in the movie and send it to reporters and critics to attract them to watch the movie. β
"It's a trivial matter, you just decide, don't ask me." Xiahou Zhongying nodded.
"In addition, the planning department proposes to increase the publicity cost of the film, and they also hope that you, Miss Christine, and the cast and crew will attend the next film festival and some promotional activities to build momentum for the film."
"Well, it's a bit of a hassle." Xiahou Zhongying hesitated, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, put his hands together, and said, "You also know that I have already started school, and I usually don't have much free time." β
"Okay." Jiang Wenying is also a little helpless, Xiahou Zhongying, the chairman of the council, said that it is good to delegate power, to give them full freedom and rights to the employees underneath, if it is not good, he is a hands-off shopkeeper, almost no one can change his mind about what he doesn't want to do, and he has been working with him for several years, and she knows his character very well. After giving up persuasion, she mentioned again: "What about the movie promotion fee?" β
"Two million. Let's take two million dollars out for now. After a pause, Xiahou Zhongying continued: "Actually, I think it is better to spend money on the media and advertising companies, and it is better to put more attention on various film festivals, invite more big-name film critics, and use good reputation to promote publicity, such as a few more Roger. Albert's positive comments could have been even better. β
Jiang Wenying was stunned for a moment, lowered her head thoughtfully, and after a while nodded with a smile and said, "I know what to do." (To be continued......)
