[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world
Chapter 25 (1)
After the Oscars at the end of March, the cast and crew of "Leading the Coquettish", which had been completed and disbanded before Christmas, gathered together again to start a non-stop promotional period.
Basically, the main actors in this movie are some unknown people who are not famous or have several works. Amy Heckerling is better, but she is a behind-the-scenes worker, and her face is not recognizable.
Paramount's publicity strategy is to arrange for them to participate in interviews with some industry magazines first, then show some film advertisements, and then appear on a few TV talk shows, and then they can go back to their respective homes to wait for the premiere.
This method is very conservative and not innovative, but in this era, there are only a few ways to stir up movies. The best way to use it is to stir up gossip and so on.
But the problem is that everyone's coffee position is very embarrassing, and there is a high probability that there will be no enthusiasm for the hype.
Paramount tentatively asked CAA if they would mind if Josie could find a popular actor and run a suitable love contract.
Martha didn't even think about rejecting the terrible offer.
Therefore, the group had no choice but to rely on the relationship with Paramount to get an opportunity for an inside page shooting and an interview with the main creator of "Variety Show", a highly professional film newspaper in the industry.
"I really didn't expect that the movie I starred in would be released nationwide on a large scale."
While waiting for the photo shoot in the studio, Brittany couldn't help sighing.
Stacey Dash, who was still a little away from them, glanced this way indifferently, leaned against the corner alone, and did not speak.
She was really honest, she just wanted to quickly end the promotional schedule of the movie, so that she would never have to meet the previous two little bitchis whom she could not tear apart in this life.
Especially the one called Josie Horton.
He obviously has strange powers all over, but he likes to pretend to be innocent and weak. Every time he tears up X, it feels like he is forcibly feeding shit to others, and his usual speech is also disgusting to death.
And it just disgusts everyone who tries to mess with her and her small group.
Paul Rudd smiled and said, "A good start, isn't it?"
"Of course, we're going to be popular soon." Josie also laughed and made a "BOOM" gesture, "Is it a surprise, is it a surprise? Don't forget the rich and the rich, my dear friends, I have completely bet my career on this movie! If it is over, then I have to go back and inherit a hundred billion fortune."
Brittany's eyes widened, and she was very cooperative with Josie's performance, "Hundreds of billions of property? Then you can invest in any movie you want, and they have to make whatever you want people to make?"
Josie said reservedly: "That's it, I invite you to be the heroine, Brittany sweetheart."
"Okay, okay." Brittany agreed without thinking, "You can sneak on me as you like, I don't mind."
Josie couldn't help laughing, "But do I mind?"
Paul on the side suppressed a smile, and said to expose Josie, "God, Josie, don't lie to us, I really don't know how much money Bill Gates has?"
"Ah, I was discovered by you." Josie held her heart together, pretending to be mournful: "Okay, let's work for another year, for my future fortune of hundreds of billions!"
Brittany laughed out loud, and of course Josie refused to give up. The two girls fought together instantly, and cheerful laughter came from the studio.
Until a studio worker informed them of the unfortunate news.
"What, let us wait another three hours?" Stacey Dash had the most violent temper and was the first to express her dissatisfaction.
"Anyway, that's how things are." The staff member said hastily, "Either wait obediently, or leave early, I think you guys know the consequences."
He dropped his words and walked to the other side to communicate with colleagues in other studios.
The one man and three women who were left in place looked at each other in blank dismay.
"So, what do we do?" Paul asked.
"What else can I do?" Stacey Dash couldn't help rolling her eyes, and said with a sneer, "If you can't wait, you can wait, and if you can't wait, you can call your respective managers, but the results are the same, they just Will keep us quiet and patient, who made us nobody."
Josie was keenly aware of her key words, and asked, "You mean, a big-name star temporarily snatched our studio?"
Stacey pouted behind them and replied, "Look, this is coming!"
Outside the studio, there was first a burst of messy and noisy footsteps and voices. Just by hearing the sound, you can tell that there are definitely a lot of people coming.
Immediately afterwards, a very tall and strong Caucasian male wearing sunglasses walked in among the crowd.
He chose to stand in the very center of the studio, and immediately his assistant reminded the staff to bring in the filming folding chair with his nameplate on it.
After sitting down, he took off his sunglasses and asked his assistant to catch them with both hands, revealing a face that belonged to Hollywood action star Steven Seagal.
He cleared his throat first.
Another assistant just in time hands over a glass of soda that has just been topped with ice and lemon slices.
Steven Seagal took it and took a sip.
The hair stylist and make-up artist came forward to fix his hair and touch up his makeup.
At this time, Steven Seagal turned his attention to the only girl with a good appearance among the team of more than a dozen people he brought.
"Where's the person you mentioned?" he asked.
The girl is Ashley Mills, the heroine of the movie "Running Dragon". After hearing this, she quickly pointed to the opposite side where Josie was: "It's her, the one with the blonde hair in the middle."
Steven Seagal looked in the direction Ashley pointed, and was very surprised to find an impressive face.
"What's your name? I remember you." He twitched his lips.
"You! It's you! The most beautiful girl!" Sickert's assistant immediately urged, "Come here quickly, don't dawdle, do you know who you are going to see?"
The four looked at each other.
Paul and Brittany gave Josie a look and asked: Do you want to go back?
Stacey showed a look of a little joy and a little uneasiness.
Josie whispered, "It's okay, let's go. After all, he called me 'the most beautiful girl'. His attitude is not bad."
Her big eyes rolled around, and Stacey felt that she was going to play tricks, subconsciously took a step back, and almost hid herself in the shadows.
Brittany and Paul said in unison, "We're going too!"
Josie's assistant brother, El, has also come up quietly, perhaps planning to run away with his employer on his shoulders in case of a fight.
A group of four people walked over.
When Steven Seagal saw Josie's familiar yet unfamiliar face, he felt a dull pain on his forehead, but she was lucky enough to sign a capable and background agent. That matter had already been exposed at that time, as Transaction, he can't continue to pester or retaliate.
However, no one said that you can't make use of it.
"It seems that you have quite a few friends, Miss Horton." Steven Seagal said, "I wonder if they will still be your friends if they find out that everything that happened next was brought by you. ?”
He snapped his fingers as he spoke.
Ashley Mills stood beside Steven Seagal, bent down and lowered her head, and asked almost obsequiously, "Mr. Seagal?"
It can be said that she is the heroine chosen by Steven Seagal himself, although the other party preferred another girl named Katherine Heigl before that, but that girl was too crazy, so he was finally chosen by Ashley Impressed.
Oh, who let her have a great mother, just like Forrest Gump.
Steven Seagal said: "I think there is a little misunderstanding between you, today is a good time to settle it, right, Ashley? Don't worry, I will only be a witness, you are fair of."
fair?
There has never been justice in this world.
Ashley smiled sweetly: "Okay, Mr. Sigel."
She straightened her back and walked towards Josie with a well-practiced smile. She didn't look at other little people at all, and stood still in front of Josie with her arms folded.
"I won't embarrass you too much, Josie, who made us friends before? I will only repay everything you have done to me." Ashley sneered, she glanced at the bodyguard brought by Sickert, and said : "Look at her, let them stand here together and wait for the shooting. As an actor, you must be dedicated, and we will help them. You, come with me, Mr. Siegel has something to tell you to do."
Ashley pointed to the person in charge of the studio, and talked with him in a corner for a while, and didn't give up until he showed embarrassment.
She looked at Josie from afar and made a mouth shape: You lost.
Josie smiled back, gave Ashley a thumbs up, and then turned down abruptly under Ashley's astonished eyes.
No, you lost.
She laughed so sweetly, it was completely silent mocking.
Ashley didn't know why, but she just thought that Josie was crazy with jealousy, gave the latter a hard look, and raised her chin even higher.
The shooting in the studio started.
The entourage brought by Steven Seagal and the staff who were already in the studio, nearly [-] people were all busy, but no one cared about the life and death of the three newcomers, they would only despise them Get in the way and overreach.
Seeing such a scene, Ashley became more energetic, and the shooting condition was so good that Sickert's agent frequently issued hints to her to restrain herself and the photographer to be more prominent on Sickert.
Time passed by, and the blazing lights made the temperature of the entire studio inevitably rise. Even though she was already standing in a relatively deserted corner, Josie inevitably felt stuffy.
After all, the big star circled around the air conditioner to enjoy the cool air, and only his assistant followed suit with a fan.
Josie found that her face and neck were sweating, and her makeup was obviously worn out. The other two girls were almost the same. Even if she had the opportunity to shoot next time, it would greatly affect the effect of the photo.
She sighed inwardly, and said to them, "I'm sorry, Brittany, Paul, and you, Miss Dash, for making you suffer unnecessarily because of me."
Stacey was fanning her hands non-stop. Hearing this, she glanced at Josie and said nothing.
"It's okay, we're friends," Brittany said.
"Brittney is right." Paul shrugged, "My agent also said that if you encounter this situation, it will be fine if you have a little patience. After all, this is the studio of "Variety Show", and they can't ignore it." And Paramount, withdraw our interview?"
"Variety Show" certainly cannot withdraw the interview at will.
However, it can be postponed.
After waiting for four full hours, Qiao Qian and the others were told that the cameraman and editor were off work, and the studio was about to close, so they were asked to leave immediately.
And the next day, Paramount received the news that Warner Bros. Pictures, which owns the movie "Running Dragon", personally sent people to the public relations, and abruptly postponed their interview on "Variety Show" magazine to two weeks later.
This directly disrupted Paramount's original publicity strategy.
Paramount's publicity and distribution department for "Leadership" was not active in responding. On the one hand, the two films were not competitors of the same magnitude.
"Braveheart" directed and acted by Mel Gibson, with an investment of 7000 and [-] million U.S. dollars;
Frank Marshall's "Congo Horror" has an investment of 5000 million US dollars.
This is the summer blockbuster of the same level as "Rage of Qianlong".
With a cost of only 1000 million yuan, the chick film "Leading the Coquettish" obviously couldn't face the edge of a behemoth produced by a big company and big production like "Running Dragon"-but they were released one after another.
"It became a conflict between the two movies. She became smarter and learned to leverage."
After being informed of this, Josie was reading a book in the living room. She covered her face with the book and gently fell on the back of the sofa.
Then she heard Brittany's cell phone ring.
Apparently, Brittany was also informed of the bad news, and was devastated.
Josie took off the "The Art of Performing" covering her face, looked up, and saw Brittany walking around in front of the TV, cursing Ashley Mills and Steven Seagal, He patted the place next to him and said, "Hey, sweetheart, there's no need to be angry, it's just a business, who let their "Let's Go" and our "Leadership" be released at the same time? It's me, and I will spare no effort to attack every opponent, and it would be great if I can resolve personal grievances by the way."
Brittany scratched her hair fiercely, stopped on the spot and let out a scream, then walked over with her mouth flattened, grabbed a pillow and threw herself onto the sofa forcefully.
Josie rubbed Brittany's curly brown hair, put aside the Stella Adler book in her hand, and said to Brittany: "Don't worry, the show has just begun, help me Just call Martha and say I have some ideas about a movie promotion and I want to talk to her."
Brittany raised her head from the pillow, revealing a pair of big eyes full of surprise and slight hesitation.
"I'm not kidding, really." Josie laughed dumbfounded and patted her on the head, "'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.', doesn't it? Besides, there's nothing like using a chick Movies kill commercial blockbusters, and people are even more fascinated."
She gently stroked Brittany's hair in her hand, once and again, with firm eyes, as if everything was under control, which made Brittany slowly become calm and relaxed.
Brittany was a little bit reluctant to feel the touch on the top of her head, but she got up and took the landline and dialed Martha's number.
Josie took it and said directly: "Good evening, Martha, I'm sorry to disturb your rest time, but I need you to contact Paramount's publicity department immediately, or I will pay for it myself and find some Computer guy and gossip girl... oh, and I personally need to hire a programmer who specializes in web design to do something."
It is now 1995.
Due to the sharp price cuts of personal computers and peripherals, BBS quickly became popular among young people who pursue new trends.
The Light of College BBS is a non-commercial community. Many of its active users are trendsetters in colleges and middle schools across the United States, and the proportion of women is not low.
Emily is a California girl who lives in the affluent white community Sherman Oaks. She is in the 12th grade this year and is one of the cheerleaders in the school. She is very popular.
Because her father was engaged in the IT industry, she got in touch with computers earlier than others, and now she can surf the Internet very proficiently.
The same is true today.
"I hope there is something new recently."
Emily dialed up the Internet, waited patiently for the connection, and it took her a long time to open the BBS page she frequently visited, just in time to see a new post that she had never seen before becoming popular.
"Beverly Seven Days Outfit Manual? It seems interesting."
She quickly clicked in.
[Hi, everyone!I'm Nikki, and what I want to share today is my brand new outfit that I recently went out on the street...]
The first thing that came into my eyes was a self-report about Nikki, a Beverly girl, and then a photo posted by Nikki. Due to the limitation of internet speed, I can only see the view of the mansion in the background of the photo.
Bright California sunshine and tall palm trees, incredible blue sky and sparkling private pool, faintly visible mansion exterior walls and roofs, deck chairs and sculpture art in the backyard.
Just in the corner of the photo, there is a fascinating smell of money piled up.
After a while, Nikki herself with beautiful blond hair appeared on the screen. When she first saw the photo, Emily couldn't help elongating her tone and exclaimed: "O—M—G!"
It was a full body photo of a young girl.
She was wearing a close-fitting blue and white plaid skirt with a flat cut and high waist, revealing a pair of invincible long legs. She was covered with a simple white organza shirt, which slightly revealed the background color of her skin. She paired it with a pair of baby blue shirts. Sneakers and a chain pouch that only fits the latest Motorola phone.
The girl made a gesture of covering her mouth with her hands towards the camera, her face was hidden in a pair of exaggerated retro sunglasses, only her smooth forehead was exposed.Her legs are crossed in the shape of an inverted V. Due to the tilt of the camera, her legs look very slender.
In just an instant, this girl hit Emily's heart.
Just like she used to attract every Internet rush girl who came in and browsed indiscriminately.
"Oh! These legs are too long..."
"This little bitch, how can she be so rich and so beautiful! I'm so mad at the old girl!"
"The most important thing is, which brand does her skirt/coat/shoes/bag/necklace/sunglasses come from!"
The same screams were heard in the rooms of many young girls, and like every single one of them, Emily scurried through the trending thread after she was stunned, trying to find the brand message she wanted.
But unfortunately, Nikki didn't seem to be squatting in front of the computer, but went out to play in that beautiful dress. It wasn't until several pages of the post were turned, and there were even some discordant voices of questioning, that Emily looked sharply. Found her latest reply.
[Beverly girl Nikki: Oh, sorry, I just went for a ride in the Ferrari my dad gave me, today is really a beautiful day. 】
[Beverly girl Nikki: The brand of the clothes?I don't pay much attention to the brand, I just swipe my card when I see it when I go shopping!their price?I never look at the price when I buy things. 】
[Beverly girl Nikki: Is my family rich?Oh sweetheart, you really asked a stupid question.I am not rich, I am very rich. 】
Netizens in this era are still very simple and have not experienced this kind of dimensionality reduction blow in the post-information age, and there was an uproar on the forum for a while.
Nikki's joining obviously raised the popularity of the post to a higher level, but her sense of superiority revealed between the lines and her hidden arrogance quickly caused opposition voices to appear on the BBS.
[The landlord who suddenly became popular, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a bitch...]
[Her outfit is just like that, she is just a rich daughter who has a show-off, and she is not worth pursuing at all. 】
[But to be honest, am I the only one who thinks her outfit really looks good?I love that plaid skirt so much! 】
【Indeed, I really want that skirt too. 】
【Me too……】
【I also……】
Several tall buildings were built on the BBS until someone posted stills from the interviews on Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.
The host wrote disdainfully: [Ahhh, the image of Beverly Daughter collapsed suddenly.I thought Miss Nikki had such an elegant or unique taste, but it turned out that she just copied the outfits of the heroine of this movie one step ahead of everyone. 】
Not long after, someone from below asked a timely question: [Oh my God, this actress is too sweet!who is she?which movie is this? 】
[Paramount's chick flick, "Leadership", will be released on July 7th. 】
[The heroine is the newcomer Josie Horton, she is really beautiful, I am obsessed with her. 】
[Is that the down-and-out Bai Fumei whose father, the banker, is in jail? 】
[Yes.But even if my father is in prison, I still have a family trust from birth... I shed tears of poverty. 】
The pitch idea provided by Josie worked perfectly.
The two keywords ""Lead the Coquettish"" and "Josie Horton" began to spread word of mouth among a large number of local middle school students in Los Angeles. The survey company hired by Paramount sent back the survey results, and 80 Percent of middle school students knew about the upcoming movie and its leading actress, and a staggering 95 percent of girls, or one in twenty girls, didn't know about the movie.
On campus, the most popular girls talk about the costumes of this movie. The cool boys who pursue trends and the nerds who are addicted to surfing the Internet are indiscriminately attracted by the sweet smile of the heroine, and the small circle around them, "Leading the Coquettish" quickly became a buzzword like radiation, and many teenagers went to the box office of the movie theater to inquire about it before it was released.
The director of Paramount's distribution department therefore went to work humming a song for several days, and sent a check to the heroine who came up with this good idea according to the market price. Although the money was not much, the heart was appreciated.
But the other party just smiled and didn't go to pick up the check immediately, but asked, "Do you want to play with a bigger one?"
The next day, several new posts appeared on the BBS——
[It's really interesting, this level of outfit makes you so fascinated, am I the only one who thinks that Josie Horton, the heroine of "Leading the Coquettish", is also ordinary?Her outfits in the movie are just so-so, look at mine, this is the style that girls who are about to enter college or university should wear. 】
[Where did the immature high school students speak loudly and represent our college school outfits?One thing to say, I personally saw the pre-roll advertisement of "Leading the Coquettish" in the movie theater. The heroine's appearance and outfits are not to be chosen, especially a white shirt, plaid skirt and cardigan, which is completely me The universal collocation formula that is often used...]
[The dressing level of you people from the West Coast is just like that. Maybe you should read the post from Ms. Luo, who is from the East Coast: Manhattan [-]-day dressing guide. 】
[No matter what you say, anyway, I like Beverly Girl Nikki, and by the way, it's really bad for some people to copy ideas. 】
[Come on, they don't dare to show their faces, so please open your eyes to see my goddess Josie Horton!By the way, Goddess's new film "Leading the Coquettish" will be released nationwide on July 7! 】
【goddess?But that's all.Just an ordinary girl, like Josie Horton, we have several in our school. 】
[The one who said that his school has several levels of Josie Horton, report your school name, I will fly to verify that you are not dreaming! 】
Due to man-made secret wars, the BBS community of the Light of High School was noisy, until this topic caused an uproar, and quickly spread to other websites, such as the battle between Manhattan and New York, the fan battle between Nikki and Luo, and the Josie Huo Fans from all walks of life in Dunton fought against real and fake passers-by, and the popularity of "Leading the Show" on the Internet has surpassed the plot discussion of the latest season of "Friends" or "ER Stories", or the latest Hollywood couple Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp. Kate Moss, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow news.
The popularity on the Internet quickly fermented, and NBC sent an invitation. Amy Heckling and Josie appeared on the "Today Show", the highest-rated morning talk show in the United States, and then the main creators of "Leading the Show" appeared "Saturday Night Live", Paramount's publicity and distribution department made timely efforts, inviting reporters from all over the country to Los Angeles to participate in a small reception, and presented some souvenirs.
During the publicity period, the crew members, especially Qiao Xi, who is the heroine, basically got up at four or five o'clock to do makeup and hair styling, and appeared at a certain morning show at six o'clock. They ate some sandwiches at noon, and then rushed to another restaurant The evening interview on the TV station, until the end of the day's itinerary in the early morning.
Giving always pays off.
With a total investment of just over US$1000 million, the movie "Leading the Coquettish", relying on the power of emerging media platforms such as Internet community forums, and the high-density interview drafts, maintained the popularity of the movie from before the summer vacation to the end of the summer vacation. One month, which is mid-July.
Fans who like this movie, ordinary viewers who often hear discussions about this movie, and even opponents who don't like this movie, all the people who participated in it are unconsciously drawn to the value of expectations. fully.
On July 1995, 7, the day before the zero o'clock North American premiere of "Leading the Coquettish", this long-awaited movie finally kicked off.
That night, Paramount held a small premiere.
The main creators of "Leading the Coquettish" reunited again, but the treatment of the three leading actresses is obviously different. Their small number of fans have begun to appear on both sides of the road at the premiere scene. Many people hold up movie posters, Shouting their names loudly.
Markie Mack, who gave a game-changing performance in "The Verge Diary", stepped onto the red carpet, causing a flash of spotlights, and it is said that his name will appear in the film "Leadership", as a buzzword.
Oh yeah, he's no longer the rapper Markie Mark who is busy taking off his pants to show off his sexy, his name is Mark Wahlberg, a real Hollywood actor.
The popular first-line star Denzel Washington also appeared with his family. He and the Australian newcomer Russell Crowe partnered in "Time and Space Titans", which is the last blockbuster of Paramount's summer vacation and will enter in two weeks. Theatrical release.
In addition to the star-studded friendly lineup who came to join the show, the youth idol star Ashley Mills who suddenly appeared at the premiere also attracted a lot of attention.
Yes, youth idol stars.
As a sequel to the blockbuster movie, "Rage of Qianlong" became the box office champion of the week as soon as it was released a week ago. The heroine with a beautiful appearance and a pleasing personality also made people remember that it belongs to Ashley Mills. this face.
"Running Dragon" reported a box office of 1262 million US dollars on the first three days, breaking the 993 million US dollars of "Braveheart" starring Mel Gibson. The audience at the premiere randomly surveyed and scored B+, which can predict the next box office trend. Because of her growth, Ashley has also become a popular girl star.
Unsurprisingly, the appearance of this super rookie made the reporters very excited, because in an interview with Ashley Mills, she revealed that she participated in the audition for this film, but was rejected in the first round.
But the current situation is that Ashley's stardom is open, and as for Josie——
Oh, they're just making a low-budget chick flick with no big bangs, it's nothing, isn't it?
After leaving the reporter's lens and entering the movie theater, the well-dressed Ashley hooked her lips at the seemingly shocked Josie, and said, "I've discovered that being ignored is actually crueler than anything else, especially in this circle. Josie Horton, we are no longer rivals, because you are not worthy at all."
Josie originally didn't bother to pay attention to her, but seeing Ashley's eagerness to speak harshly, she cooperated for the first time, and made a pitiful appearance of being deeply shocked and on the verge of collapse.
She pursed her lips tightly and responded without confidence: "You...don't be too happy!"
Oh, this trembling tone is really helpless.
"Ha, let's see." Ashley left with satisfaction.
Stacey Dash hated iron and steel, and said angrily: "Hey, you, you are usually good at talking, why didn't you refute that little bitch just now? Or did you really just admit defeat like this?"
Brittany shot Stacey a rather reproachful look.
Josie just raised her head from Brittany's neck, showing a small face without any frustration, and smiled: "Let her be proud for another 97 minutes, our movie will prove everything, sister, after she The facial expression will be more exciting."
Anyway, she was ready to kill Ashley, so what if she let the other party go for another 97 minutes?
Stacey is a bit uncomfortable.
But, she called her "sister"... This little bitch doesn't seem to be that annoying.
97 minutes is exactly the length of the movie "Leading the Coquettish", and anyone with a slightly normal aesthetic concept will not dislike it.
Two female students from Dalton Middle School, a prestigious school on the Upper East Side of New York, Christine and Kelly, sat arm in arm in a movie theater.
"I'm just a little curious about what the highly respected campus life in the West Bank is like." Christine, wearing myopia glasses, muttered to herself, "I don't really want to watch this kind of boring popcorn movie."
Christine is a good girl in the eyes of the public, even a little nerdy. She likes Salinger and Maugham. This year's favorite movie is the romance movie "Before Dawn" starring Ethan Hawke.
Kelly's dress is much more eye-catching and fashionable than the gentle Christine. She likes the chicness of the Manhattan girl Luo. She wears a short white top and ripped jeans, and has hair that just reaches the collarbone. straight blond hair.
Kelly nodded perfunctorily: "I know, I know, you don't have the same taste as those cheerleaders on the BBS, and you were just dragged to watch the movie by my vulgar friend, okay?"
Christine blushed slightly, but did not refute.
The lights in the theater dimmed, and the zero-point screening began.
After Paramount Pictures’ classic snow mountain logo and high-saturation fluorescent color titles, the heroine drives her white convertible Wrangler off-road vehicle, carrying her friends in a car, and gallops in Los Angeles with cheerful background music Iconic Parkway.
The palm trees on both sides of the road are receding, and the daily life of the heroine Xueer is also presented on the big screen in a fast-editing way: shopping for nothing, swiping dad’s credit card, dancing at the party, enjoying life in her own home. A pool party is held in a mansion... A group of handsome men and beauties sway their youth wantonly, and the background is the beautiful scenery of Beverly Hills, a rich area of Los Angeles.
The current prevalence of consumerism makes the life of the heroine very enviable, but the smiles of these young people make this hedonistic luxury not tainted with too much decadence of money.
Because their smiles are like the ever-changing golden sunshine in California, bright and without haze, and one can't help but relax when looking up.
At this time, the narration belonging to the heroine sounded, and the camera also shifted from her colorful life to the room full of princess dreams where she wakes up every morning. There is a European-style soft bed full of classical style, elegant and smooth silk bedding, There is a dressing table full of various cosmetics, and a large gold-plated floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The crystal lamp in the center of the room is reflected in the mirror, shining the gorgeousness and romance of the whole bedroom.
This is a close-up close-up shot, the heroine Xueer, like every young girl, smiles at herself in front of the mirror, as if admiring her own beauty today.
In this way, the fresh and lovely face of the newcomer Josie Horton was presented to the audience in the movie theater without warning: perfect blonde hair and blue eyes, a youthful and sweet smile, and the most wonderful thing is the eyes The innocence and wantonness that belong to the flowers of the greenhouse are shining clearly and visibly.
Until the camera zooms out, people are still immersed in the shock brought by this face.
The promotional materials on TV or magazines are always different from the close-up shots facing the big screen, because this kind of detailed close-ups can make people feel the impactful visual beauty, especially the heroine. The delicacy and agility in this eye movement is absolutely incomparable in still photos.
Just a quick glance, there was one after another exclamation in the cinema, both men and women gasped almost in unison: "Wow——"
"She is so beautiful?" Kelly stopped sending popcorn to her mouth, her eyes fixed on the heroine on the big screen, "Is she so beautiful? I saw stills on BBS, just... Is it above average?"
She said with some uncertainty.
But in fact, the debut of the movie heroine Xueer surprised most people in the movie theater, and regardless of gender, age, or sexual orientation,
Basically, the main actors in this movie are some unknown people who are not famous or have several works. Amy Heckerling is better, but she is a behind-the-scenes worker, and her face is not recognizable.
Paramount's publicity strategy is to arrange for them to participate in interviews with some industry magazines first, then show some film advertisements, and then appear on a few TV talk shows, and then they can go back to their respective homes to wait for the premiere.
This method is very conservative and not innovative, but in this era, there are only a few ways to stir up movies. The best way to use it is to stir up gossip and so on.
But the problem is that everyone's coffee position is very embarrassing, and there is a high probability that there will be no enthusiasm for the hype.
Paramount tentatively asked CAA if they would mind if Josie could find a popular actor and run a suitable love contract.
Martha didn't even think about rejecting the terrible offer.
Therefore, the group had no choice but to rely on the relationship with Paramount to get an opportunity for an inside page shooting and an interview with the main creator of "Variety Show", a highly professional film newspaper in the industry.
"I really didn't expect that the movie I starred in would be released nationwide on a large scale."
While waiting for the photo shoot in the studio, Brittany couldn't help sighing.
Stacey Dash, who was still a little away from them, glanced this way indifferently, leaned against the corner alone, and did not speak.
She was really honest, she just wanted to quickly end the promotional schedule of the movie, so that she would never have to meet the previous two little bitchis whom she could not tear apart in this life.
Especially the one called Josie Horton.
He obviously has strange powers all over, but he likes to pretend to be innocent and weak. Every time he tears up X, it feels like he is forcibly feeding shit to others, and his usual speech is also disgusting to death.
And it just disgusts everyone who tries to mess with her and her small group.
Paul Rudd smiled and said, "A good start, isn't it?"
"Of course, we're going to be popular soon." Josie also laughed and made a "BOOM" gesture, "Is it a surprise, is it a surprise? Don't forget the rich and the rich, my dear friends, I have completely bet my career on this movie! If it is over, then I have to go back and inherit a hundred billion fortune."
Brittany's eyes widened, and she was very cooperative with Josie's performance, "Hundreds of billions of property? Then you can invest in any movie you want, and they have to make whatever you want people to make?"
Josie said reservedly: "That's it, I invite you to be the heroine, Brittany sweetheart."
"Okay, okay." Brittany agreed without thinking, "You can sneak on me as you like, I don't mind."
Josie couldn't help laughing, "But do I mind?"
Paul on the side suppressed a smile, and said to expose Josie, "God, Josie, don't lie to us, I really don't know how much money Bill Gates has?"
"Ah, I was discovered by you." Josie held her heart together, pretending to be mournful: "Okay, let's work for another year, for my future fortune of hundreds of billions!"
Brittany laughed out loud, and of course Josie refused to give up. The two girls fought together instantly, and cheerful laughter came from the studio.
Until a studio worker informed them of the unfortunate news.
"What, let us wait another three hours?" Stacey Dash had the most violent temper and was the first to express her dissatisfaction.
"Anyway, that's how things are." The staff member said hastily, "Either wait obediently, or leave early, I think you guys know the consequences."
He dropped his words and walked to the other side to communicate with colleagues in other studios.
The one man and three women who were left in place looked at each other in blank dismay.
"So, what do we do?" Paul asked.
"What else can I do?" Stacey Dash couldn't help rolling her eyes, and said with a sneer, "If you can't wait, you can wait, and if you can't wait, you can call your respective managers, but the results are the same, they just Will keep us quiet and patient, who made us nobody."
Josie was keenly aware of her key words, and asked, "You mean, a big-name star temporarily snatched our studio?"
Stacey pouted behind them and replied, "Look, this is coming!"
Outside the studio, there was first a burst of messy and noisy footsteps and voices. Just by hearing the sound, you can tell that there are definitely a lot of people coming.
Immediately afterwards, a very tall and strong Caucasian male wearing sunglasses walked in among the crowd.
He chose to stand in the very center of the studio, and immediately his assistant reminded the staff to bring in the filming folding chair with his nameplate on it.
After sitting down, he took off his sunglasses and asked his assistant to catch them with both hands, revealing a face that belonged to Hollywood action star Steven Seagal.
He cleared his throat first.
Another assistant just in time hands over a glass of soda that has just been topped with ice and lemon slices.
Steven Seagal took it and took a sip.
The hair stylist and make-up artist came forward to fix his hair and touch up his makeup.
At this time, Steven Seagal turned his attention to the only girl with a good appearance among the team of more than a dozen people he brought.
"Where's the person you mentioned?" he asked.
The girl is Ashley Mills, the heroine of the movie "Running Dragon". After hearing this, she quickly pointed to the opposite side where Josie was: "It's her, the one with the blonde hair in the middle."
Steven Seagal looked in the direction Ashley pointed, and was very surprised to find an impressive face.
"What's your name? I remember you." He twitched his lips.
"You! It's you! The most beautiful girl!" Sickert's assistant immediately urged, "Come here quickly, don't dawdle, do you know who you are going to see?"
The four looked at each other.
Paul and Brittany gave Josie a look and asked: Do you want to go back?
Stacey showed a look of a little joy and a little uneasiness.
Josie whispered, "It's okay, let's go. After all, he called me 'the most beautiful girl'. His attitude is not bad."
Her big eyes rolled around, and Stacey felt that she was going to play tricks, subconsciously took a step back, and almost hid herself in the shadows.
Brittany and Paul said in unison, "We're going too!"
Josie's assistant brother, El, has also come up quietly, perhaps planning to run away with his employer on his shoulders in case of a fight.
A group of four people walked over.
When Steven Seagal saw Josie's familiar yet unfamiliar face, he felt a dull pain on his forehead, but she was lucky enough to sign a capable and background agent. That matter had already been exposed at that time, as Transaction, he can't continue to pester or retaliate.
However, no one said that you can't make use of it.
"It seems that you have quite a few friends, Miss Horton." Steven Seagal said, "I wonder if they will still be your friends if they find out that everything that happened next was brought by you. ?”
He snapped his fingers as he spoke.
Ashley Mills stood beside Steven Seagal, bent down and lowered her head, and asked almost obsequiously, "Mr. Seagal?"
It can be said that she is the heroine chosen by Steven Seagal himself, although the other party preferred another girl named Katherine Heigl before that, but that girl was too crazy, so he was finally chosen by Ashley Impressed.
Oh, who let her have a great mother, just like Forrest Gump.
Steven Seagal said: "I think there is a little misunderstanding between you, today is a good time to settle it, right, Ashley? Don't worry, I will only be a witness, you are fair of."
fair?
There has never been justice in this world.
Ashley smiled sweetly: "Okay, Mr. Sigel."
She straightened her back and walked towards Josie with a well-practiced smile. She didn't look at other little people at all, and stood still in front of Josie with her arms folded.
"I won't embarrass you too much, Josie, who made us friends before? I will only repay everything you have done to me." Ashley sneered, she glanced at the bodyguard brought by Sickert, and said : "Look at her, let them stand here together and wait for the shooting. As an actor, you must be dedicated, and we will help them. You, come with me, Mr. Siegel has something to tell you to do."
Ashley pointed to the person in charge of the studio, and talked with him in a corner for a while, and didn't give up until he showed embarrassment.
She looked at Josie from afar and made a mouth shape: You lost.
Josie smiled back, gave Ashley a thumbs up, and then turned down abruptly under Ashley's astonished eyes.
No, you lost.
She laughed so sweetly, it was completely silent mocking.
Ashley didn't know why, but she just thought that Josie was crazy with jealousy, gave the latter a hard look, and raised her chin even higher.
The shooting in the studio started.
The entourage brought by Steven Seagal and the staff who were already in the studio, nearly [-] people were all busy, but no one cared about the life and death of the three newcomers, they would only despise them Get in the way and overreach.
Seeing such a scene, Ashley became more energetic, and the shooting condition was so good that Sickert's agent frequently issued hints to her to restrain herself and the photographer to be more prominent on Sickert.
Time passed by, and the blazing lights made the temperature of the entire studio inevitably rise. Even though she was already standing in a relatively deserted corner, Josie inevitably felt stuffy.
After all, the big star circled around the air conditioner to enjoy the cool air, and only his assistant followed suit with a fan.
Josie found that her face and neck were sweating, and her makeup was obviously worn out. The other two girls were almost the same. Even if she had the opportunity to shoot next time, it would greatly affect the effect of the photo.
She sighed inwardly, and said to them, "I'm sorry, Brittany, Paul, and you, Miss Dash, for making you suffer unnecessarily because of me."
Stacey was fanning her hands non-stop. Hearing this, she glanced at Josie and said nothing.
"It's okay, we're friends," Brittany said.
"Brittney is right." Paul shrugged, "My agent also said that if you encounter this situation, it will be fine if you have a little patience. After all, this is the studio of "Variety Show", and they can't ignore it." And Paramount, withdraw our interview?"
"Variety Show" certainly cannot withdraw the interview at will.
However, it can be postponed.
After waiting for four full hours, Qiao Qian and the others were told that the cameraman and editor were off work, and the studio was about to close, so they were asked to leave immediately.
And the next day, Paramount received the news that Warner Bros. Pictures, which owns the movie "Running Dragon", personally sent people to the public relations, and abruptly postponed their interview on "Variety Show" magazine to two weeks later.
This directly disrupted Paramount's original publicity strategy.
Paramount's publicity and distribution department for "Leadership" was not active in responding. On the one hand, the two films were not competitors of the same magnitude.
"Braveheart" directed and acted by Mel Gibson, with an investment of 7000 and [-] million U.S. dollars;
Frank Marshall's "Congo Horror" has an investment of 5000 million US dollars.
This is the summer blockbuster of the same level as "Rage of Qianlong".
With a cost of only 1000 million yuan, the chick film "Leading the Coquettish" obviously couldn't face the edge of a behemoth produced by a big company and big production like "Running Dragon"-but they were released one after another.
"It became a conflict between the two movies. She became smarter and learned to leverage."
After being informed of this, Josie was reading a book in the living room. She covered her face with the book and gently fell on the back of the sofa.
Then she heard Brittany's cell phone ring.
Apparently, Brittany was also informed of the bad news, and was devastated.
Josie took off the "The Art of Performing" covering her face, looked up, and saw Brittany walking around in front of the TV, cursing Ashley Mills and Steven Seagal, He patted the place next to him and said, "Hey, sweetheart, there's no need to be angry, it's just a business, who let their "Let's Go" and our "Leadership" be released at the same time? It's me, and I will spare no effort to attack every opponent, and it would be great if I can resolve personal grievances by the way."
Brittany scratched her hair fiercely, stopped on the spot and let out a scream, then walked over with her mouth flattened, grabbed a pillow and threw herself onto the sofa forcefully.
Josie rubbed Brittany's curly brown hair, put aside the Stella Adler book in her hand, and said to Brittany: "Don't worry, the show has just begun, help me Just call Martha and say I have some ideas about a movie promotion and I want to talk to her."
Brittany raised her head from the pillow, revealing a pair of big eyes full of surprise and slight hesitation.
"I'm not kidding, really." Josie laughed dumbfounded and patted her on the head, "'What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.', doesn't it? Besides, there's nothing like using a chick Movies kill commercial blockbusters, and people are even more fascinated."
She gently stroked Brittany's hair in her hand, once and again, with firm eyes, as if everything was under control, which made Brittany slowly become calm and relaxed.
Brittany was a little bit reluctant to feel the touch on the top of her head, but she got up and took the landline and dialed Martha's number.
Josie took it and said directly: "Good evening, Martha, I'm sorry to disturb your rest time, but I need you to contact Paramount's publicity department immediately, or I will pay for it myself and find some Computer guy and gossip girl... oh, and I personally need to hire a programmer who specializes in web design to do something."
It is now 1995.
Due to the sharp price cuts of personal computers and peripherals, BBS quickly became popular among young people who pursue new trends.
The Light of College BBS is a non-commercial community. Many of its active users are trendsetters in colleges and middle schools across the United States, and the proportion of women is not low.
Emily is a California girl who lives in the affluent white community Sherman Oaks. She is in the 12th grade this year and is one of the cheerleaders in the school. She is very popular.
Because her father was engaged in the IT industry, she got in touch with computers earlier than others, and now she can surf the Internet very proficiently.
The same is true today.
"I hope there is something new recently."
Emily dialed up the Internet, waited patiently for the connection, and it took her a long time to open the BBS page she frequently visited, just in time to see a new post that she had never seen before becoming popular.
"Beverly Seven Days Outfit Manual? It seems interesting."
She quickly clicked in.
[Hi, everyone!I'm Nikki, and what I want to share today is my brand new outfit that I recently went out on the street...]
The first thing that came into my eyes was a self-report about Nikki, a Beverly girl, and then a photo posted by Nikki. Due to the limitation of internet speed, I can only see the view of the mansion in the background of the photo.
Bright California sunshine and tall palm trees, incredible blue sky and sparkling private pool, faintly visible mansion exterior walls and roofs, deck chairs and sculpture art in the backyard.
Just in the corner of the photo, there is a fascinating smell of money piled up.
After a while, Nikki herself with beautiful blond hair appeared on the screen. When she first saw the photo, Emily couldn't help elongating her tone and exclaimed: "O—M—G!"
It was a full body photo of a young girl.
She was wearing a close-fitting blue and white plaid skirt with a flat cut and high waist, revealing a pair of invincible long legs. She was covered with a simple white organza shirt, which slightly revealed the background color of her skin. She paired it with a pair of baby blue shirts. Sneakers and a chain pouch that only fits the latest Motorola phone.
The girl made a gesture of covering her mouth with her hands towards the camera, her face was hidden in a pair of exaggerated retro sunglasses, only her smooth forehead was exposed.Her legs are crossed in the shape of an inverted V. Due to the tilt of the camera, her legs look very slender.
In just an instant, this girl hit Emily's heart.
Just like she used to attract every Internet rush girl who came in and browsed indiscriminately.
"Oh! These legs are too long..."
"This little bitch, how can she be so rich and so beautiful! I'm so mad at the old girl!"
"The most important thing is, which brand does her skirt/coat/shoes/bag/necklace/sunglasses come from!"
The same screams were heard in the rooms of many young girls, and like every single one of them, Emily scurried through the trending thread after she was stunned, trying to find the brand message she wanted.
But unfortunately, Nikki didn't seem to be squatting in front of the computer, but went out to play in that beautiful dress. It wasn't until several pages of the post were turned, and there were even some discordant voices of questioning, that Emily looked sharply. Found her latest reply.
[Beverly girl Nikki: Oh, sorry, I just went for a ride in the Ferrari my dad gave me, today is really a beautiful day. 】
[Beverly girl Nikki: The brand of the clothes?I don't pay much attention to the brand, I just swipe my card when I see it when I go shopping!their price?I never look at the price when I buy things. 】
[Beverly girl Nikki: Is my family rich?Oh sweetheart, you really asked a stupid question.I am not rich, I am very rich. 】
Netizens in this era are still very simple and have not experienced this kind of dimensionality reduction blow in the post-information age, and there was an uproar on the forum for a while.
Nikki's joining obviously raised the popularity of the post to a higher level, but her sense of superiority revealed between the lines and her hidden arrogance quickly caused opposition voices to appear on the BBS.
[The landlord who suddenly became popular, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a bitch...]
[Her outfit is just like that, she is just a rich daughter who has a show-off, and she is not worth pursuing at all. 】
[But to be honest, am I the only one who thinks her outfit really looks good?I love that plaid skirt so much! 】
【Indeed, I really want that skirt too. 】
【Me too……】
【I also……】
Several tall buildings were built on the BBS until someone posted stills from the interviews on Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.
The host wrote disdainfully: [Ahhh, the image of Beverly Daughter collapsed suddenly.I thought Miss Nikki had such an elegant or unique taste, but it turned out that she just copied the outfits of the heroine of this movie one step ahead of everyone. 】
Not long after, someone from below asked a timely question: [Oh my God, this actress is too sweet!who is she?which movie is this? 】
[Paramount's chick flick, "Leadership", will be released on July 7th. 】
[The heroine is the newcomer Josie Horton, she is really beautiful, I am obsessed with her. 】
[Is that the down-and-out Bai Fumei whose father, the banker, is in jail? 】
[Yes.But even if my father is in prison, I still have a family trust from birth... I shed tears of poverty. 】
The pitch idea provided by Josie worked perfectly.
The two keywords ""Lead the Coquettish"" and "Josie Horton" began to spread word of mouth among a large number of local middle school students in Los Angeles. The survey company hired by Paramount sent back the survey results, and 80 Percent of middle school students knew about the upcoming movie and its leading actress, and a staggering 95 percent of girls, or one in twenty girls, didn't know about the movie.
On campus, the most popular girls talk about the costumes of this movie. The cool boys who pursue trends and the nerds who are addicted to surfing the Internet are indiscriminately attracted by the sweet smile of the heroine, and the small circle around them, "Leading the Coquettish" quickly became a buzzword like radiation, and many teenagers went to the box office of the movie theater to inquire about it before it was released.
The director of Paramount's distribution department therefore went to work humming a song for several days, and sent a check to the heroine who came up with this good idea according to the market price. Although the money was not much, the heart was appreciated.
But the other party just smiled and didn't go to pick up the check immediately, but asked, "Do you want to play with a bigger one?"
The next day, several new posts appeared on the BBS——
[It's really interesting, this level of outfit makes you so fascinated, am I the only one who thinks that Josie Horton, the heroine of "Leading the Coquettish", is also ordinary?Her outfits in the movie are just so-so, look at mine, this is the style that girls who are about to enter college or university should wear. 】
[Where did the immature high school students speak loudly and represent our college school outfits?One thing to say, I personally saw the pre-roll advertisement of "Leading the Coquettish" in the movie theater. The heroine's appearance and outfits are not to be chosen, especially a white shirt, plaid skirt and cardigan, which is completely me The universal collocation formula that is often used...]
[The dressing level of you people from the West Coast is just like that. Maybe you should read the post from Ms. Luo, who is from the East Coast: Manhattan [-]-day dressing guide. 】
[No matter what you say, anyway, I like Beverly Girl Nikki, and by the way, it's really bad for some people to copy ideas. 】
[Come on, they don't dare to show their faces, so please open your eyes to see my goddess Josie Horton!By the way, Goddess's new film "Leading the Coquettish" will be released nationwide on July 7! 】
【goddess?But that's all.Just an ordinary girl, like Josie Horton, we have several in our school. 】
[The one who said that his school has several levels of Josie Horton, report your school name, I will fly to verify that you are not dreaming! 】
Due to man-made secret wars, the BBS community of the Light of High School was noisy, until this topic caused an uproar, and quickly spread to other websites, such as the battle between Manhattan and New York, the fan battle between Nikki and Luo, and the Josie Huo Fans from all walks of life in Dunton fought against real and fake passers-by, and the popularity of "Leading the Show" on the Internet has surpassed the plot discussion of the latest season of "Friends" or "ER Stories", or the latest Hollywood couple Johnny Depp and Johnny Depp. Kate Moss, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow news.
The popularity on the Internet quickly fermented, and NBC sent an invitation. Amy Heckling and Josie appeared on the "Today Show", the highest-rated morning talk show in the United States, and then the main creators of "Leading the Show" appeared "Saturday Night Live", Paramount's publicity and distribution department made timely efforts, inviting reporters from all over the country to Los Angeles to participate in a small reception, and presented some souvenirs.
During the publicity period, the crew members, especially Qiao Xi, who is the heroine, basically got up at four or five o'clock to do makeup and hair styling, and appeared at a certain morning show at six o'clock. They ate some sandwiches at noon, and then rushed to another restaurant The evening interview on the TV station, until the end of the day's itinerary in the early morning.
Giving always pays off.
With a total investment of just over US$1000 million, the movie "Leading the Coquettish", relying on the power of emerging media platforms such as Internet community forums, and the high-density interview drafts, maintained the popularity of the movie from before the summer vacation to the end of the summer vacation. One month, which is mid-July.
Fans who like this movie, ordinary viewers who often hear discussions about this movie, and even opponents who don't like this movie, all the people who participated in it are unconsciously drawn to the value of expectations. fully.
On July 1995, 7, the day before the zero o'clock North American premiere of "Leading the Coquettish", this long-awaited movie finally kicked off.
That night, Paramount held a small premiere.
The main creators of "Leading the Coquettish" reunited again, but the treatment of the three leading actresses is obviously different. Their small number of fans have begun to appear on both sides of the road at the premiere scene. Many people hold up movie posters, Shouting their names loudly.
Markie Mack, who gave a game-changing performance in "The Verge Diary", stepped onto the red carpet, causing a flash of spotlights, and it is said that his name will appear in the film "Leadership", as a buzzword.
Oh yeah, he's no longer the rapper Markie Mark who is busy taking off his pants to show off his sexy, his name is Mark Wahlberg, a real Hollywood actor.
The popular first-line star Denzel Washington also appeared with his family. He and the Australian newcomer Russell Crowe partnered in "Time and Space Titans", which is the last blockbuster of Paramount's summer vacation and will enter in two weeks. Theatrical release.
In addition to the star-studded friendly lineup who came to join the show, the youth idol star Ashley Mills who suddenly appeared at the premiere also attracted a lot of attention.
Yes, youth idol stars.
As a sequel to the blockbuster movie, "Rage of Qianlong" became the box office champion of the week as soon as it was released a week ago. The heroine with a beautiful appearance and a pleasing personality also made people remember that it belongs to Ashley Mills. this face.
"Running Dragon" reported a box office of 1262 million US dollars on the first three days, breaking the 993 million US dollars of "Braveheart" starring Mel Gibson. The audience at the premiere randomly surveyed and scored B+, which can predict the next box office trend. Because of her growth, Ashley has also become a popular girl star.
Unsurprisingly, the appearance of this super rookie made the reporters very excited, because in an interview with Ashley Mills, she revealed that she participated in the audition for this film, but was rejected in the first round.
But the current situation is that Ashley's stardom is open, and as for Josie——
Oh, they're just making a low-budget chick flick with no big bangs, it's nothing, isn't it?
After leaving the reporter's lens and entering the movie theater, the well-dressed Ashley hooked her lips at the seemingly shocked Josie, and said, "I've discovered that being ignored is actually crueler than anything else, especially in this circle. Josie Horton, we are no longer rivals, because you are not worthy at all."
Josie originally didn't bother to pay attention to her, but seeing Ashley's eagerness to speak harshly, she cooperated for the first time, and made a pitiful appearance of being deeply shocked and on the verge of collapse.
She pursed her lips tightly and responded without confidence: "You...don't be too happy!"
Oh, this trembling tone is really helpless.
"Ha, let's see." Ashley left with satisfaction.
Stacey Dash hated iron and steel, and said angrily: "Hey, you, you are usually good at talking, why didn't you refute that little bitch just now? Or did you really just admit defeat like this?"
Brittany shot Stacey a rather reproachful look.
Josie just raised her head from Brittany's neck, showing a small face without any frustration, and smiled: "Let her be proud for another 97 minutes, our movie will prove everything, sister, after she The facial expression will be more exciting."
Anyway, she was ready to kill Ashley, so what if she let the other party go for another 97 minutes?
Stacey is a bit uncomfortable.
But, she called her "sister"... This little bitch doesn't seem to be that annoying.
97 minutes is exactly the length of the movie "Leading the Coquettish", and anyone with a slightly normal aesthetic concept will not dislike it.
Two female students from Dalton Middle School, a prestigious school on the Upper East Side of New York, Christine and Kelly, sat arm in arm in a movie theater.
"I'm just a little curious about what the highly respected campus life in the West Bank is like." Christine, wearing myopia glasses, muttered to herself, "I don't really want to watch this kind of boring popcorn movie."
Christine is a good girl in the eyes of the public, even a little nerdy. She likes Salinger and Maugham. This year's favorite movie is the romance movie "Before Dawn" starring Ethan Hawke.
Kelly's dress is much more eye-catching and fashionable than the gentle Christine. She likes the chicness of the Manhattan girl Luo. She wears a short white top and ripped jeans, and has hair that just reaches the collarbone. straight blond hair.
Kelly nodded perfunctorily: "I know, I know, you don't have the same taste as those cheerleaders on the BBS, and you were just dragged to watch the movie by my vulgar friend, okay?"
Christine blushed slightly, but did not refute.
The lights in the theater dimmed, and the zero-point screening began.
After Paramount Pictures’ classic snow mountain logo and high-saturation fluorescent color titles, the heroine drives her white convertible Wrangler off-road vehicle, carrying her friends in a car, and gallops in Los Angeles with cheerful background music Iconic Parkway.
The palm trees on both sides of the road are receding, and the daily life of the heroine Xueer is also presented on the big screen in a fast-editing way: shopping for nothing, swiping dad’s credit card, dancing at the party, enjoying life in her own home. A pool party is held in a mansion... A group of handsome men and beauties sway their youth wantonly, and the background is the beautiful scenery of Beverly Hills, a rich area of Los Angeles.
The current prevalence of consumerism makes the life of the heroine very enviable, but the smiles of these young people make this hedonistic luxury not tainted with too much decadence of money.
Because their smiles are like the ever-changing golden sunshine in California, bright and without haze, and one can't help but relax when looking up.
At this time, the narration belonging to the heroine sounded, and the camera also shifted from her colorful life to the room full of princess dreams where she wakes up every morning. There is a European-style soft bed full of classical style, elegant and smooth silk bedding, There is a dressing table full of various cosmetics, and a large gold-plated floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The crystal lamp in the center of the room is reflected in the mirror, shining the gorgeousness and romance of the whole bedroom.
This is a close-up close-up shot, the heroine Xueer, like every young girl, smiles at herself in front of the mirror, as if admiring her own beauty today.
In this way, the fresh and lovely face of the newcomer Josie Horton was presented to the audience in the movie theater without warning: perfect blonde hair and blue eyes, a youthful and sweet smile, and the most wonderful thing is the eyes The innocence and wantonness that belong to the flowers of the greenhouse are shining clearly and visibly.
Until the camera zooms out, people are still immersed in the shock brought by this face.
The promotional materials on TV or magazines are always different from the close-up shots facing the big screen, because this kind of detailed close-ups can make people feel the impactful visual beauty, especially the heroine. The delicacy and agility in this eye movement is absolutely incomparable in still photos.
Just a quick glance, there was one after another exclamation in the cinema, both men and women gasped almost in unison: "Wow——"
"She is so beautiful?" Kelly stopped sending popcorn to her mouth, her eyes fixed on the heroine on the big screen, "Is she so beautiful? I saw stills on BBS, just... Is it above average?"
She said with some uncertainty.
But in fact, the debut of the movie heroine Xueer surprised most people in the movie theater, and regardless of gender, age, or sexual orientation,
