Lisko’s American Life

"That's right, I received the notification some time ago, and I have a friend who is familiar with this year's judging committee. The other party revealed to me that we are likely to win the option of Best Actress, and Ms. Zhang Li's performance is really good. Fits the role well and has a great chance of winning this award."

In Christian Monji's words, there is a little pride and pride. He is still very confident in his professional issues. After all, he became famous at a young age, and he has 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 films, he also has his own pride.

"Then congratulations to you all. If a part of the public relations fee is paid, what are the chances of winning this award?"

Lisko first congratulated the other party. It has to be said that Christian Mungi still has some talent in literary films, so he naturally did not hesitate to praise him.

Then, he stated his purpose very straightforwardly.

Public relations is a common thing in the industry. Not to mention Cannes, even the most authoritative Oscar, there are not a few reports that have been conquered. Society is made up of people. As long as there are people, there will definitely be loopholes. .

The Hollywood queens have all been taken down by public relations, and a Cannes with a lower status than it is naturally not a problem.

The reason why he asked Christian Monge was that Lisko believed that the other party definitely had channels in this regard, and he should have experience in doing this kind of thing.

When Christian Mengji heard Lisko's inquiry, he was stunned for the first time, and then thought of Zhang Li's identity, and he became clear in his heart.

This kind of public relations matter, as long as it is a practitioner, should be known, but this kind of matter cannot be disclosed to the outside world. If someone leaks this information, it will be banned by all the industry, because everyone It is the beneficiary, and naturally maintain the secret of this matter together.

Thinking about Lisko's identity, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to disclose it to the outside world, and the other party's purpose of asking about this matter is already obvious, which is to push his girlfriend to win this honor.

He has seen this kind of routine a lot. It is very common for actresses to have their own financial backers.

After weighing the pros and cons, Christian Monji, who wanted to please Lisko, gritted his teeth and admitted the matter.

"That's right, sir, I have a channel for this, because Ms. Zhang Li is the favorite to win the award, so it saves a lot of effort in public relations. After all, in order to maintain their authority, the judges also have to consider the public's opinion." Opinion, if it goes too far, it will be unanimously blocked by the jury."

This kind of thing is easy to understand. The amount of money spent to increase the chances of a favorite who is already winning the prize is different from pushing a person who will not win the prize at all.

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

"I inquired about it, and if I really want to win this award, it needs about two million U.S. dollars."

Hearing what Christian Monji said, Lisko made a calculation 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. People, and in order to prevent feminist organizations from making trouble, the staff is also composed of five men and four women.

Two million U.S. dollars, the amount that falls on each person's head is about 200,000 U.S. dollars. In addition, the PR company also needs to have a part of the profit, so it is not very expensive.

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

"Okay, you can 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 Monji heard Lisko's promise to pay the money, envy suddenly surged in his heart. He also thought that there was such a big man behind him who could help him win the award without hesitation, but Thinking of my gender, I had no choice but to keep this expectation in my heart.

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

It's just that another heroine, Christina Flutour, might be wronged. If Zhang Li didn't have public relations, both of them would have a chance to win the award, but Lisko paid a lot of money, so the other heroine, of course It's going to end with regret.

But he doesn't have much time to sympathize with the other party. This circle is inherently unfair. He has seen many such things over the years, so he can naturally deal with it calmly.

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

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

"By the way, Zhang Li is pregnant, so I may not be able to go to the scene this time. You will be the one to help accept the award. Remember to inform her in advance to prepare the acceptance speech, and it is best not to let her know about the matter between us. .”

Lisko made another arrangement, and it is bound to make sure that this matter is done seamlessly.

After listening to all the words, Christian Mungi naturally became clear about the ins and outs of the whole thing. This kind of plot is obvious. The husband is worried that his wife will be unhappy because she can't go to the scene because of pregnancy, so she spends money without telling the other party. Qian PR helped his wife win this award.

Since then, a look of jealousy appeared on his face, and he felt envious of Zhang Li having such a caring husband.

"I understand sir. We didn't speak on the phone today."

Hearing his answer, Lisko nodded in satisfaction, then hung up the international call, pressed the bell next to the desk, and soon, Payne ran over panting.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

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

"Sorry, Payne, one last thing, you transfer 2.2 million dollars to this account."

Lisko handed over his mobile phone, and at the same time Christian Mungi from Romania also sent over his private account. Although Payne was puzzled about where the money went, as a housekeeper, he had his own personal account. My professional ethics, that is, I never talk too much, and I go out to do errands with my mobile phone,
