1007 Soldier's Dangerous Move
As the hostess, Julia quickly bid farewell to Dorothy and turned to greet other guests, but Dorothy's steps did not stop. She searched in the crowd for a while, and then walked towards Nancy Josephson, who had just finished talking with Danny Ball. Tianlai Novel | 2
Nancy is the co-president of International Innovation Management Company. She is the first woman in the entire Hollywood brokerage industry to climb to the top of the pyramid. Her greatest achievement is that she personally created "Friends" and sold it to NBC TV. Julia is an artist under International Innovation Management Company. She returned to Hollywood in 1995 and had a difficult journey. It was with Nancy's strong support that she found an opportunity to make a comeback.
More than a month ago, Nancy left the International Innovation Management Company and then joined the Enjin Elite Brokerage Company, which is also among the top five brokerage companies. However, Nancy and Julia's personal relationship is still there, and today's attendance is not a surprise.
"You look a little low-key tonight." Nancy smiled and spoke first to welcome Dorothy's arrival. Although the two are not friends, they are both women and still have a little sympathy.
Dorothy politely held Nancy's right hand, "This is not something I can choose, isn't it?" Tonight was nominally a party, but in fact it was a college public relations. Everyone knew it well, so the two of them were naturally the focus of this when they came up.
Nancy pointed her chin in a clear way. She was naturally familiar with the current situation of "Rampant Road". "But Lance is not a guy who gives up easily." After saying that, she shook her head again and denied her statement, "To be precise, Lance is a guy who refuses to compromise."
Dorothy chuckled, "I will convey this praise to Lance." After laughing, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, "But this time, Lance has no choice but to do so. He touched the fundamental interests of those men. I don't think they would happily check Lance's name on the voting table. What do you think?"
Like Julia, Nancy was able to climb to the top of the pyramid in the field of brokers. She knew the rules of the industry clearly and the huge pressure she was under was greater than that of ordinary people. Rumors said that Nancy left the International Innovation Management Company because she had a disagreement with several other senior male cooperative agents.
Nancy immediately understood Dorothy's subtext, but she was not as easy as Julia to speak. As the president of a top brokerage company, she had a fox-like sense of flow of interests and power, and reason always made judgments before sentiment. "So, what are your plans?"
Faced with Nancy's vigilance and defense, Dorothy did not panic, but instead chuckled, "I just chatted with Julia. She thought that strong women were very willing to vote for Lance, and believed that we should be optimistic and positive, but I denied Julia's view. Because we all know that this is an industry of interests, and relying on one's passion alone can't accomplish anything big, right?"
Dorothy's words were underestimated, but the ridicule between the lines was extremely sharp. The arrow pointed directly at Nancy - Nancy's vigilance and defense just now was undoubtedly showing her attitude. She would not be fooled easily. Dorothy wanted her to persuade her artists to vote for Lance, and she had to exchange enough interests.
But Nancy is also very human, so naturally she will not be fooled easily, "Haha, then what are your plans?" She still refused to express her position. The college public relations game cannot be played by relying solely on her tongue and the so-called moral commanding heights. Otherwise, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Fruit Hard Candy" would not both lose to "collision" last year.
Dorothy was still not panicked and shook her head, "No plan. As I said just now, even women are unwilling to vote for Lance, so what else can we expect?" The men who were offended were even more reluctant, "So, this is not something I can choose." Dorothy looked back at the crowd, "I had some opinions on Lance's absence tonight, but now it seems that he is indeed smarter than me."
One sentence was meaningful, and Nancy began to chew it carefully.
In fact, Dorothy did not lie. The "Raging Road" college public relations are indeed difficult. If you choose to make a positive breakthrough, you will probably once again lead to a debate like Xia Tian. This is very unfavorable for the movie to impact the Little Golden Man Trophy. Even if you stand on the moral high ground, it will be difficult to win more advantages. Last year's "Brokeback Mountain" is the best ironclad evidence.
It was Lance who proposed a public relations method that took a detached approach. The resistance faced by the "Raging Road" was greater than that of the "Brokeback Mountain", but equally, the political correctness occupied by the "Raging Road" is also clearer. Compared with homosexual rights, eliminating gender discrimination and respecting cultural diversity has been long developed and improved. Therefore, they can retreat to advance, show their enemies as weak, and act as a weak attitude, calling on more people to realize that the disadvantages of the "Raging Road" reflect the deep-rooted prejudice in contemporary society. Only when more people stand up to express their support can society truly realize the minority group, and the rights and interests of the weak group also need to be taken seriously.
Whether it is Julia or Nancy, including Meryl, women who play a vital role in Hollywood are crucial to the Oscar prospects of the "Raging Road", but ultimately, they play an irreplaceable role in the rise and change of women's rights.
Dorothy clearly shows that she has gained the sympathy and support of these women. Whether for the benefit of the "Raging Road", for the benefit of women, or for the future interests of these working women, they have no reason to refuse. Of course, this is just a theoretical possibility, and it depends on the effect of execution and promotion. However, this unique public relations strategy has won a line of possibility for the "Raging Road".
Dorothy's attendance today is just a spearhead, and the actresses on "Rampant Road" will also attack one after another.
But this is just the beginning, relying solely on female power to overthrow the deeply rooted rule of the old peddlers? This is impossible, and if possible, Lance would not need to take a detour.
The "Raging Road" is that there are too many controversies. Such works have been a work that has caused countless controversies even after ten years, let alone now? Furthermore, Lance has been inciting these controversies behind the scenes for the box office of the movie, allowing the controversy to be uncontrollable. In the end, the box office did create a miracle, but the college's public relations became a problem. This is also one of the important reasons why Lance did not have too much hope for this year's awards season.
However, now that he is preparing to attack the academy's public relations, Lance plans to turn this door into their advantage.
Cole Gred looked at John-goodman in front of him and shook his head, "...I don't think so. On the contrary, I think no woman would be willing to vote for Lance. You know, walking in the desert in tulle, becoming a mother/skin/***** replaced actors with models to perform? Huh, even I think this is a bit too much. In fact, after watching the movie, the first question I asked Lance was: Have you been in love recently?"
John was amused by Cole's vivid words and said in a muffled voice, "Lance is indeed challenging the public's bottom line to dare to use women as a sex/symbol so boldly."
Although he has never won an Oscar nomination, John Goodman, who has been in Hollywood for 20 years, has always been known as the most popular actor of the American people. His honest face, changeable performance and cheerful personality have successfully occupied a place in Hollywood and have strong connections in the six major Hollywood film companies. Someone once joked that as long as he nodded, more than half of Hollywood producers are willing to give John a role in their works.
"So, what are Lance's plans? Should he give up awards season like this?" John had a honest smile on his face, and a blurred halo flashed through his eyes that had almost disappeared into his eyes. "This year's 'Raging Road' is incredibly good. I heard my agent say the day before yesterday that the North American record of the 'Titanic' was broken? James Cameron would not like to see such a result."
Cole shrugged, "In fact, Lance and Coen brothers, Spielberg, have talked with them, hoping to get their support, but you also know that the college has always been biased against Lance and has made small misunderstandings before." A small misunderstanding, if the magnificent last year can be called "small", then Oscar has not seen any storms in so many years. John laughed out loud, "It is almost impossible to let those old men put aside their opinions and vote for Lance. So..." Cole spread his hands and looked around, "Lance refused to attend to tonight's banquet."
Tonight is a preheating party for the Golden Globes. The award ceremony will be held soon. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association held a grand party, which is a bit similar to the Oscar nomination luncheon, but the scope will be wider and many industry veterans will also attend.
"This is not like Lance's style." Give up or avoid it because of a little difficulty? John questioned.
Cole shook his right hand with champagne gently, "This is typical Reims style." Cole lowered his voice and whispered, "He doesn't think he has to please the people of the association, you know, he is a man who is so proud that he refuses to bow his head." The association refers to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"Oh, this is a shame." John sighed with regret. It seems that Lance was no longer visible at this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony. John thought about it seriously and must admit that even if Lance attended the awards ceremony, it is estimated that the Golden Globe Awards would not be presented to Lance, not only because of the past grudges between the two sides, but also because the association is concerned about the college's trend. Judging from the current news, there are still not many support voices in the college about the "Raging Road", which reminded John of Cole's words just now.
Looking up, John looked at Cole, a hint of understanding appeared in Cole's eyes, then raised the champagne glass and paid tribute, as if saying: Now you understand what I mean.
