Lisco's American Life

"Yes, I received the notice some time ago, and I have a familiar friend of this year's jury. The other party told me that we are likely to win the best actress option, and Ms. Zhang Li's performance is indeed

He fits the role very well and has a high chance of winning this award."

There is a little pride in Christian Mongiu's words. He is still very confident in his professional issues. After all, he became famous at a young age, and he also won the Palme d'Or. Although

Having been around for many years, he has a deep understanding of the power of capital, but when it comes to literary and artistic films, he also has his own pride.

"Congratulations then. If you pay part of the public relations fee, what are the chances of winning this award?"

Lisko first congratulated the other party. It must be said that Christian Mongiu is quite talented in literary films, so he naturally did not hesitate to praise her.

Then, he stated his purpose very straightforwardly.

Public relations is ubiquitous in the industry. Not to mention Cannes, even the most authoritative Oscars, there are many reports of being breached. Society is made up of people, and wherever there are people, there are definitely loopholes.

.

Hollywood's best actresses have all been taken over by public relations, and Cannes, which has a lower status than Cannes, is naturally no problem.

The reason why he asked Christian Mongi was because Lisko believed that the other party definitely had the channels in this field and should have experience in handling this kind of thing.

When Christian Menghi heard Lisko's inquiry, he was stunned for the first time, and then he thought about Zhang Li's identity and understood.

Anyone who works in public relations should know about this kind of public relations matter, but this kind of thing cannot be disclosed to the outside world. If someone leaks this information, he will be blocked by all people in the industry, because everyone

They are the ones who benefited, so they naturally work together to maintain the secret of this matter.

Considering that Lisko's identity would not be disclosed to the outside world on his own initiative, and the other party's purpose in asking about this matter was already obvious, which was to push his girlfriend to win this honor.

He has seen this kind of routine a lot. It is normal for an actress to have her own sponsor.

After weighing the pros and cons, Christian Menghi, who was determined to please Lisko, gritted his teeth and admitted the matter.

"Yes, sir, I have channels in this regard. Because Ms. Zhang Li is the favorite to win the award, it saves a lot of effort in public relations. After all, in order to maintain their authority, the judges must also consider the public's opinions.

Opinion, if it goes too far, it will be blocked by the jury unanimously.”

This kind of thing is easy to understand. To increase the chance of winning a prize for a person who is already a favorite, and to promote a person who has no chance of winning the prize, the money spent is also different.

Money is a good thing, but if you pay a salary that is not generous and sacrifice your career and credibility, I believe all the judges will reject it.

"I asked about it, and if I really wanted to win this award, it would cost about two million dollars."

After hearing Christian Mongi's words, Lisko thought about it in his mind. The jury usually consists of nine judges, and most of them are practitioners in the industry, including actors, directors, editors, and producers.

It is composed of five men and four women, and in order to prevent feminist organizations from causing trouble.

Two million U.S. dollars, which means the amount that falls on each person's head is about more than 200,000 U.S. dollars. In addition, the public relations company also needs a part of the profit, so it is not very expensive.

If it costs two million US dollars to get this award, Li Ke thinks it is still a good deal, even if he just spent the money to buy Zhang Li's happiness for a long time.

"Okay, you contact me, I will transfer the funds to your account later, so I will trouble you. By the way, what I want is for Zhang Li to win this award alone, do you understand?"

When Christian Menghi heard Lisko's promise to pay, he felt a burst of envy in his heart. He also thought that he had such a big boss behind him who could help him win the award without hesitation. However,

Thinking of my own gender, I had no choice but to keep this expectation in my heart.

Furthermore, having the other party pay for public relations is also beneficial to his crew. Although he may not be able to win the Palme d'Or this time, having the leading actress award close by will make it much more convenient when selling copies.

It's just that the other heroine, Christina Flutur, may have been wronged. If Zhang Li didn't have a publicist, both of them would have had a chance to win the award, but Liske had made money, so the other heroine would naturally

It will end in regret.

However, he doesn't have much time to sympathize with the other party. This circle is inherently unfair. He has seen a lot of this kind of thing over the years, so he can naturally deal with it calmly.

"Of course, sir, I am honored to serve you. I will handle the rest. I believe you will get good news soon."

Christian Mongiu spoke with a smile. This time he has established a relationship with Lisko, an invisible giant, and his future in Hollywood will be much easier, so he is naturally very happy.

"By the way, Zhang Li is pregnant, so she may not be able to go to the scene this time. It will be up to you to help receive the award. Remember to inform her in advance to prepare her acceptance speech, and it is best not to let her know about the things between us.

.”

Lisko once again made arrangements that this matter must be done without leakage.

After listening to all the words, Christian Monge naturally understood the whole story. The plot was very obvious. The husband was worried that his wife would be depressed because she couldn't go to the scene because of her pregnancy, so he kept the secret from her.

Mr. Qian helped his wife win this award.

A look of jealousy appeared on his face, and he felt envious that Zhang Li had such a caring husband.

"I understand sir. We did not speak on the phone today."

Hearing his answer, Lisko nodded with satisfaction, then hung up the international call and pressed the bell next to the table. Soon, Payne ran over panting.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Seeing Payne, Lisko finally remembered that he had just arranged for him to handle the expansion of the security team, but not long after, he called him again, which really made him a little busy.

"Sorry, Payne, one last thing, please transfer $2.2 million to this account."

Lisko handed over his mobile phone, and Christian Mongi from Romania also sent over his private account. Although Payne was very confused about where the money went, as a butler, he had his own

My professional ethics is to never talk too much, just go out and do errands with my mobile phone in hand.
