CHAPTER 89, EXCLUSIVE DEBUT-XXVII

Most ordinary people may think that Josie. Horton's nomination for this year's Oscars is somewhat unexpected, but for veteran players who are well versed in the rules of the Oscar game, it is actually completely in line with the Oscar nomination process.

As we all know, the Oscars use a preference voting system at the nomination stage, and the judges will write the names of the film or filmmakers on the ballot according to their preferences, in order of ranking.

Upon receipt of a ballot, PwC calculates the total number of votes received in that category, divides by the number of likely nominees, adds one, and rounds to the nearest whole number.

Assuming a film or a filmmaker has more or equal to this integer number of votes, it is eligible for an Oscar nomination.

This is the first way to vote for an official nominee.

Next, if fewer than five official nominees are selected in the first round, PwC conducts the next round of vote counting, where the person with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated and this part of the vote is redistributed to the second-choice name on the ballot.

This process is repeated until five candidates are selected for each category.

Interestingly, many of the women's supporting departments who lost this year's Olympian lobbying votes were the second choice of Josie. Horton.

Yes, she and her team did not try to get votes, but followed the "Life Because of You" crew step by step, participated in most of the awards season parties and screenings, but never left people's sight, and at the last minute, there were many traditional print media around Los Angeles singing praises for her.

Some of the votes, Josie can still understand, nothing more than Paramount watched her get the Golden Globe nomination, "First Degree Fear" publicity is coming, and at the last minute, part of the publicity resources pretend that nothing happened.

Then, Sean . Not only did Pan introduce her to the small circle of Santa Monica High School alumni association, but he also boasted about her in front of many people. And as rumors go, James . Cameron launched his own network canvassing in order to get Fox to promise Josie to play the heroine of "Titanic".

Finally, there is the college's promotion factor for newcomers.

In any case, a scuffle caused Josie, who was not very obvious during the awards season. Horton, who rose to prominence at the last minute, won the last spot on the list of Best Supporting Actress nominations.

Instead, it was Nicole, who was present throughout the awards season. Kidman, because of his ambition written on his face, was intercepted by the strong contenders for this year's Oscar and stopped at the nomination.

Josie's selection benefited from the public relations strategy and the voting mechanism of the Oscar, but the final voting link has always been a direct voting system of one person, one vote, and the highest percentage of votes will win, so it is impossible to replicate the gameplay of the nomination stage - except for the final selection of Best Picture, which is still the preferred voting system.

Josie, who accidentally won the nomination, was very content, and did not rush into PR in anticipation of the Oscars continuing the miracle - in fact, she knew that she would never win back the little gold man - but kept a completely low enough low profile and politeness at the end of the awards season.

By the way, she also bet on "Death Row Walk" Susan at □□ company. Sarandon ended up winning the film queen at odds of +800, while Nicholas swept the awards season. Cage is -300, which will give her an extra income.

Josie went to the Oscars alone that day.

Appeared on the red carpet to take beautiful photos for more than ten minutes, served as the award giver for Best Animated Feature Film at the awards ceremony, and finally showed a perfect smile in front of the live camera that presented the best supporting actress of this year, as well as the award-winning "Non-Power Spring. Medicine" Mira. Sovino applauded.

Oh yes, action star Steven, who once had a conflict with Josie. Seeger also appeared at the awards ceremony to present the award for the best sound of this year.

The "big star" starring in the last sequel movie did not perform satisfactorily in theaters, and was replaced by another action star Kurt in the just-released "Supreme Crisis". Russell crushed, but luckily the movie's word-of-mouth box office was not bad.

After doing this, on the surface, her task about the Oscars is completed, but the truth is that the various parties after the Oscars are the main thing.

Due to the lack of "Life Sounds Beautiful Because of You" at this year's Oscars, Josie went directly to the celebration party of "Death Row Walk" next door after the awards ceremony.

"You've come just in time, Josie." Sean. Pan spoke in a very close tone, he did not attend the Oscars, but directly appeared at the celebration party, "Bob has been doing well in it lately, he wrote to his family for the first time in his life, his mother and sister were in tears about it, I think he may be able to take on some simple work, like hosting a Saturday night live or something." You know, if you don't show up in front of people for too long, Hollywood will soon forget his name. "

Josie did not comment on this, only reminding: "If your person can be completely optimistic about him." "

Sean. Pan was a little shaken when he heard this, but he did not continue to discuss this topic, but asked Josie: "I heard that you took "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Titanic", so do you still have a schedule at the end of this year?" I'm going to shoot Oliver next. A crime thriller directed by Stone, which is still missing a female lead. "

That's the benefit of networking.

Many films do not openly recruit actors and do not conduct public auditions, and only well-connected agents and friends of the main creative members can get tickets to the role audition early.

Light is Oliver. Stone and Sean. Pan, these two names together are already a good show, but it is very sad that Josie likes Al. Pacino, she has decided to win over the "Devil's Advocate" that Keanu confirmed to starred in.

"I'm sorry, Sean, as much as I'd love to work with you, I'm talking to Warner about a movie, and I'm really inadequate." If she could, Josie wished there were seven hundred and thirty days a year, or a little more.

"It's okay, there will be a chance later." Sean. Pan didn't care, still said: "Follow me, I think you should meet Old Jack..."

There are many people called "Jack" in Hollywood, but they are qualified to be called "Jack" by Sean. Pan called "Old Jack" probably only Jack. Nicholson. As one of the world's top actors and box office stars, Jack. Nicholson is nearly sixty years old, not very tall and handsome when he was young, but he himself has a powerful aura that cannot be ignored, not elegant or vulgar, just standing there quietly, it will produce an intriguing story.

Sean. Pan introduces Josie to Jack. Nicholson, who said, "Oh, I know you, that audition tape you shot for Paramount is very famous in circles, a little Anthony. Perkins' style. Well done. "

Josie thanked her a little restrained and coy, and heard Jack. Nixon then and Sean . Pan chatted about a film project.

"Oliver. Is there time for Stone's movie to finish? I have a project in my hands. "Jack. Nicholson asked.

"Yes, yes, yes. But I've signed Douglas Jr. for a new play. "Sean. Pan was referring to Hollywood actor Michael Buen. Douglas, the other party's father, Kirk. Douglas is also a well-known actor in the circle. He thought maybe Robert Jr. Donnie could fight for the role, so he asked, "What kind of role?" "

"An interesting gay painter." Jack. Nicholson replied, but immediately added, "You know my temper, and I won't tolerate an uncontrollable factor in my crew, such as actors on the edge of OD." "

"Okay." Sean. Pan felt helpless.

After the Oscars, Josie officially entered the group to shoot "Mr. Sweetheart", during which she received the script of "Devil's Advocate", but she needed to pass a role audition to have a chance to get the role.

Well, Keanu after all. Reeves, after all, is Al. Pacino, they well deserve an audition.

Other than that, the filming of "Mr. Sweetheart" went well.

For Tom. Cruise, the superstar, originally Josie admired it very much, so for the female protagonist in the script to the male protagonist mixed with longing and adoration, she took it just right, because she originally admired Tom, so it was quite true.

Tom. Cruise is indeed a rumored super workaholic, and there are some perfectionist and control freak tendencies, so the entire crew seems to be artificially clockworked, and no one dares to make some mess in the crew.

It is worth mentioning that Stacey, who once collaborated with Josie on "Alone". Dash also got a role, but this time she felt particularly complicated when she faced Josie.

"Thanks." Stacy. Dash knocked on the door of Josie's separate makeup trailer, deliberately coming over a day early to wait until Josie finished work, "I know you recommended me to Cameron. Crowe's. "

After the release of "Alone", the circumstances of the three leading actors are different, but there is no doubt that Josie is the most rewarding of the three actresses and the smoothest star path.

In contrast, Stacey, who is about to be thirty years old. Dash can't continue to act in youth movies, and the heroines of orthodox commercial films can hardly turn people of color - instant turns, and the competition is unusually fierce.

Moreover, her agent was not seriously selecting job opportunities for her at all, and the original three actresses who also starred in "Alone in the Limelight" were only Stacey. Dash signed a contract for the TV series version alone, and it was for three seasons.

As you can imagine, this is not a good situation for actors in the rising stage of their careers.

In this way, accept Josie, who originally had contradictions. Horton handed over an olive branch in Tom. Cruise makes a face in the movie, for Stacey. For Dash, it was a coveted opportunity.

Because both super newcomer Josie. Horton is also superstar Tom. Cruise, even if these two rightly popular names are singled out, are enough to attract people into the cinema.

"It's just a trifle." Josie sat on her back in her chair and let Kelly remove her makeup.

Her attitude of not caring made Stacy feel a little uneasy, so the latter couldn't help but say it out in a breath: "Also, I'm sorry, about the previous call to you 'blonde silly' and 'Bichi', the unspoken rules and the like are also because my heart is too small, and I am jealous that you got the heroine, so I talk nonsense." Anyway, thank you for helping me once, regardless of the past. "

"It's not completely ignorant." Josie glanced at Stacey from the mirror, "You're right, I'm a Bichi, so I need a more Bichi follower than I am." We each take what we need. - You know what I mean, right? "

"What?" Stacey's reaction slowed down, and her face was still a little confused.

Josie sighed in her heart and said, "I mean, if someone in the crew makes trouble, play with your courage and eloquence to fight before and tear it back for me." Of course, it's best not to really do it. "

"That's fine." Stacey agreed, "To be honest, apart from you, I haven't lost in this regard. "

Josie showed a smirk: "Then I still want to thank you for the compliment?" "

In fact, there is Tom. The crew where Cruise sits basically doesn't have to worry about these small conflicts in private.

On the one hand, because the position of the beautiful soup café is too high, it has absolute control over many things of the crew; On the other hand, Josie is also rising now, and no one in this crew will look for her without weighing up except for beautiful soup.

Of course, Liang Tang will not look for his own little fans, and even because of this, as well as the focus and professionalism that Josie showed during shooting, he was always extra kind to her.

Hey, to be honest, this man is really good everywhere, but not very good as a boyfriend or husband.

Therefore, at the initiative of Josie, she soon contacted Mrs. Cruise, who came to visit, that is, Nicole. Kidman became good friends and occasionally shared emotional topics.

"So you support open relationships?" On this day, the two people talked about this topic, and the Australian girl asked.

"No, it's not like that." Josie thought for a moment and replied, "To be precise, I don't believe that love can sustain a stable long-term relationship, I believe in instant pleasure." I'm a person who believes in myself more, and I can't imagine being careful or tearing my heart for another person, or even shedding some insignificant tears. "

"And I doubt that anyone can accept the real, ugly me instead of the shiny, beautiful me he sees in his eyes." Can he really love me more than life? Can he really keep his original love forever? At this, Josie chuckled, "It's a pity that I can't do it myself." And I'm only eighteen years old, and I know that many people just start a relationship and think about getting engaged or even getting married, and that's horrible. "

Nicole couldn't agree with Josie's opinion, but she respected, "Maybe you're right, in your way, it's good that you rarely get hurt in your relationship." "

It's good, but for Nicole, she still hopes to have the perfect family in the traditional sense, and she is recently working on another new member of the perfect family.

However, there is not much time left for her, because Tom is busy filming "Mr. Sweetheart", and she herself is about to join the group to shoot "Peacemaker".
