Natalie's mood was a little impetuous, and it was difficult to think calmly in a short period of time.
The official world premiere of "Black Swan" at the Venice Film Festival last week was met with acclaim from the media, especially for its two leading actresses, Natalie Portman and Mila-Kunis. Full of praise, Fox Searchlight, who is in charge of the distribution, believes that this work is very likely to bring nominations and even awards for the two protagonists in the awards season, so a public relations plan has been initially formulated.
The part about Natalie has already begun to issue a press release. It is mentioned in the manuscript that Natalie spent a year and a half in shaping, and spent seven months in ballet learning, not just awakening her childhood. The memory of ballet is to strengthen the professional skills, and the purpose is to hope to be able to play in the movie and show the real ballet skills. Hard work and suffering, this spirit coincides with the heroine in the movie.
The following publicity will take this as the core, emphasizing that Natalie "doesn't survive without madness", and can't tell the difference between the film and reality.
But in fact, real professionals know that professional ballet needs to be accumulated over many years, and only seven months is not enough. Natalie's shaping in the past year and a half is mainly to fit the body shape of the dance double and ensure that the camera lens can be consistent during the performance. During the filming, the difficult movements were completed by professional dance doubles, while she was in charge of performing and posing.
Predictably, professionals will inevitably question Natalie's professionalism. At that time, they not only need the dance doubles of the crew to shut up, but also need all the members of the crew to stand by Natalie's side, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the awards season promotion.
Once it is revealed that most of Natalie's ballet performances are done by stand-ins, it is not only the danger of lying, but more importantly, the propaganda methods will also be broken, and the consequences are immeasurable.
Benjamin Mipad is the choreographer of "Black Swan", and he is the choreographer and director of all ballets in the play. As a professional consultant to the crew, he leads all backup dancers and stand-in teams. His remarks are undoubtedly an important part. To be able to directly and authoritatively prove Natalie's "professional".
However, during the filming, Natalie and Benjamin collided and established a relationship. Once the media found out, the credibility of Benjamin's testimony would plummet, which in turn affected the follow-up plans of the academy's public relations. Of course, even if it is discovered, it is not the end of the world, but if it can be avoided, why risk it
So, what Natalie is avoiding is not the paparazzi, but the paparazzi who discover her relationship with Benjamin. Had it been planned that they had met at the ticket window fifteen minutes earlier and went into the cinema to watch the movie, the paparazzi would have been absolutely impossible to find out - but Benjamin didn't show up on time, and things started to go wrong from there.
"Are you two dating?"
When Natalie heard this speculation, the first thought that popped into her mind was: if she went with the flow, if she now admits that she is dating this... stranger around her, then she can divert the focus of the media and confuse the public.
"Yes." She gave an affirmative answer.
But after speaking, Natalie realized that she had made a wrong choice. The person around her was obviously not a gentleman. If the other party denied it directly, it would be embarrassing; and she didn't know anything about the other party. Is she willing to cooperate with the show, whether the other party is willing to pretend to be dating her for a while, and does Benjamin care? How will Fox Searchlight arrange this, and how will the other party's agent arrange it? If the other party hits a snake with a stick and uses her name to hype the news, will she shoot herself in the foot
As wise as her, she immediately realized that she had made a mistake. Recently, my hormones seem to be out of balance. In addition, I just flew to Toronto from Venice yesterday, and the jet lag has also made my concentration a little bit difficult, and my judgment has been biased.
Feeling the visual weight falling on her shoulders, Natalie immediately showed a bright smile, "If you think that you and your friends are talking about movies at the film festival, then, yes, we are dating." Although a bit reluctant, but Anyway, it came back around. The advance can be attacked, the retreat can be defended, Natalie finally regained the initiative.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know what medicine Natalie was selling in the gourd. From just a few words, it was obvious that Natalie was thinking about other things, and he was just a pawn. However, he has no plans to cooperate with the show.
Renly glanced meaningfully at Natalie, this talented Harvard graduate really lived up to her reputation, "Renly, is that really true?" Cornell obviously didn't believe it, so he threw the topic to Lanly again. present.
Natalie raised her head and looked at Renly, with a hint of warning in her eyes, which made Renly laugh dumbly, "We always have to respect the lady's answer on a question like this, don't we?" The gentleman was polite 's answer was impeccable; but Renly's playful tone and mocking eyes made people start to ponder the information behind this sentence.
Before Gavin and Cornell could stop and chew carefully, there was a call from the side, "Natalie? Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
The voice sounded, everyone turned their heads in unison, and then saw a slender, elegant man trotting all the way, with worry on his face, panting, he could only see Natalie, Flashing with concern, he couldn't wait to explain, "I was waiting for you at another ticket booth, but I never saw it. Later, people said that there are four ticket booths here." That English with a touch of French accent, Moving and elegant.
Now, the situation is embarrassing.
Natalie kept winking at Benjamin. Seeing that Benjamin was about to come up and give her a big hug, Natalie shouted out in a hurry, "Benjamin!" This finally stopped Benjamin's steps. , "Sorry, I met two journalist friends here, so I missed the time."
The simple words contained enough information, Benjamin finally reacted, and put his open arms down again. Natalie turned her head to look at the two reporters. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught the figure of a strange man beside her. She was about to explain, and then she heard the gentleman's polite voice, "I'm sorry, I have to leave first. I'm going to watch 'The Magician', there's not much left until the opening time."
"Ultimate Chaos"
The polite voice played leisurely like a cello, but the deep meaning in the words made Natalie jump her left eyelid, and then she heard the man say, "I hope you two have a good afternoon." Damn guy! Natalie gritted her teeth secretly. What does this sentence imply? This obviously made the reporters think about it, and the whole plan has now been completely disrupted.
Gavin's pupils narrowed slightly. Renly's words just now didn't seem to have anything special. They were just polite words in social occasions. They were polite and graceful, but the tone and timing of the words were really intriguing - first Refused to answer the dating question, fully respecting Natalie's answer, as if there was something hidden in it; then as soon as the man suspected of being from France appeared, Renly said goodbye, and although the excuse was perfect, the timing was too delicate .
What was Renly implying
Natalie looked at the back of the strange man leaving, without any hesitation, she gritted her teeth secretly, she raised her voice and wanted to call, but found that she didn't know the other's name at all, and the original words could only brake hard, almost Just biting the tip of her tongue, "I wish you a good afternoon too." Between the flashes of light and flint, Natalie calmed down again, looked at the two reporters, and said with a smile, "He's always like this, he has a passion for movies. There's a frenzy and nothing can stop him. We'll get together to watch the movie sometime, and I'd like to invite you, but now it seems that the answer is really obvious."
Humorous, witty, and, without compromising, explains why Benjamin is there. In the shortest time, the situation was all rounded up, if not invulnerable, but at least it did not continue to deteriorate.
Something was wrong, something was wrong at all, every pore on Gavin's body was shouting: There's something tricky. Especially Renly's last tone and reaction just now, there must be something wrong here. Although it's good to say that he's thinking too much, but his intuition thinks so.
"Hey, chi." There was a light touch of the arm, and without looking back, Gavin knew it was Cornell. Cornell must be asking if they should follow in Renly's footsteps or stay and dig up Natalie's secrets. In fact, Gavin originally planned to continue to follow Renly, after all, he is a hot newcomer recently, but now, he has changed his mind.
"Today the 'Black Swan' crew is going to watch a movie together?" Gavin raised his voice and asked curiously, "What movie? Is it worth the entire 'Black Swan' crew to be dispatched together?"
Natalie felt that things seemed to be getting more and more difficult. That damn man is simply a scourge!
Renly walked straight to the ticket booth, he wasn't lying, he did intend to watch "The Magician".
As for Natalie. In the last life, Renly can't remember the specific time, but the news of Natalie's pregnancy is known to everyone, and the father of the child is Benjamin, and the two were later engaged; but from the clues just now, it seems that Natalie is pregnant. Li obviously doesn't want to be discovered by reporters, especially her relationship with Benjamin. As an outsider, Renly had too little information to know, but he didn't care or wonder, and finally dug a hole, just a matter of courtesy.
Looking at the time, there will be one in five minutes. It is rare that there are still tickets left for this movie, which is really rare for a film festival. Renly bought a movie ticket and entered the movie theater directly, leaving the accident behind him.
