Chapter 23 Get A+
  The preview screening of the film ended successfully, and the audience could finally breathe a sigh of relief after experiencing more than 80 minutes of intense and exciting beach adventures.

Next, you need to fill in the questionnaire.

"Zoe, how would you rate this movie?" Doug asked.

Zoe seemed to be still immersed in the movie, still in shock.

She patted her chest to calm her still beating heart, and then said without hesitation: "I will give this movie an A+."

"Me too," Doug agreed, "I'll give it an A+, too."

Doug also wrote a short comment on the questionnaire: "The whole movie is as thrilling as a roller coaster. The combination of the heroine's sexy and hot figure and the bloodthirsty shark is very eye-catching.

The director's lens language skills are quite powerful, and people can't help but get involved in it.

Regardless of who directs and stars this film, I will definitely go to the theater and watch it again. "

Doug's short film review was regarded as a representative film review and was sent to Universal Pictures executives. Observer Jieji Fore told the executives about the situation of the audience at the test screening.

“Within five minutes after the film started, the audience never left the big screen and were in shock until the end of the film.

I believe that even without the name of director Spielberg, this is still an attractive enough shark movie. "

Lou Vasseur presided over the meeting, and Akio Tanii came to listen.

Observers' reactions were similar. Fans were indeed attracted to the movie and completely addicted to it.

At this time, the statistical data from the questionnaire also came out.

"We issued 42 film reviews and received of them. Among them, there were A+ film reviews, A-rated film reviews, and A- and below. open.

There is no one below B-. "Reported by Statisticians.

The conference room instantly fell silent. Such survey results have shown the high reputation of "Shark Tank" among ordinary movie fans. Universal Pictures has more confidence in "Shark Tank".

At the same time, after the preview screening, the media reporters and film critics did not leave.

Gilbert Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow were introduced by producer Dormer Blake to talk to these media reporters and film critics.

Obviously, those well-known media reporters and film critics would not come to such a scene, but little Gilbert did not hesitate to smile.

After all, he will have to rely on these people to help him promote the film. Although he doesn't like media reporters and film critics, little Gilbert also showed good professionalism.

On the contrary, Gwyneth Paltrow seemed a little impatient. She spoke perfunctorily to media reporters and film critics, and then sat aside to watch little Gilbert socialize.

However, little Gilbert refused to let her go, and took a reluctant Gwyneth Paltrow with him to briefly accept an interview with the media.

After the interview was over, Gwyneth Paltrow was free and suddenly said to little Gilbert: "We are not the same person at all."

"Oh?" Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you say that?"

"These stupid media reporters and film critics are just blood-sucking bugs lying on the film industry, but you just try to please them with a smile on your face. This kind of behavior disgusts me." Gwyneth Paltrow said with disgust.

Little Gilbert found it so funny and couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Gwyneth Paltrow felt dissatisfied.

Little Gilbert smiled and explained: "You are right, these media reporters and film critics are indeed blood-sucking bugs lying on the film industry.

But have you ever thought about why they haven’t been dealt with since they are here to suck blood? "

Gwyneth Paltrow was stunned, shook her head and said: "I never thought about it..."

"The world is not black and white, my dear, Hollywood cannot do without these people, movies cannot do without these people, and even you as a star cannot do without these people." Little Gilbert said.

"We can't live without these people, but you can't put on a smile to please them!" This is what Gwyneth Paltrow is dissatisfied with.

Little Gilbert reluctantly touched Gwyneth Paltrow's head, but she slapped her away.

"I'm just a little-known director, not Uncle Steven. My movies need exposure and they need them to cheer for me." Little Gilbert explained again.

"Is it true that with a smiling face, they can say nice things?" Gwyneth Paltrow asked again.

"Not necessarily, but at least it can make them talk." Little Gilbert replied.

"Why bother trying to please them if you don't necessarily say good things?" Gwyneth Paltrow was even more unhappy.

“Gwen, what I want is not for them to say good things about the movie, but for them to talk about the movie.

Praise and criticism are not important, what is important is having people talking about you. "Little Gilbert's words made Gwyneth Paltrow think deeply.

Although her mother is also an actress and her godfather is a well-known film director, no one has ever analyzed the nature of Hollywood for her from this perspective.

"Little Gilbert..."

"what happened?"

"I suddenly feel like I'm falling in love with you."

"This is normal. I am such a charming man and many women like me."

"Little Gilbert..."

"what happened again?"

"You're a bastard, a big bastard."

"Your evaluation can only be said to be that you only met me on the first day..."

To be honest, when he met Gwyneth Paltrow, little Gilbert knew that the media's evaluation of this girl in his previous life was true.

Perhaps it’s because her starting point is too high, she is a Jewish member of Hollywood, and her godfather is Spielberg, so the girl obviously has her eyes high.

It's easy to offend people by saying a few words about things that you don't understand, which is a bit of a princess disease.

After all, he had slept with her, and even though they only talked about the body and not the relationship, they were still a couple.

Little Gilbert still hopes that through his suggestions, Gwyneth Paltrow can calm down her temper.

With good temper control and a high starting point, she might not be able to achieve higher achievements than the original Gwyneth Paltrow.

After cleaning up her mood, Gwyneth Paltrow faced media reporters and film critics with Little Gilbert again.

This time, Gwyneth Paltrow's performance was much more professional, and the smile on her face was much sweeter.

The heroine is willing to cooperate, and the media reporters and film critics can also perform well.

After all, in this day and age, directors are still mostly behind the scenes, and if the sexy and hot heroines in the movie don't cooperate, it's hard for them to get hype.

After socializing with media reporters and film critics, I can finally take a breath.

At this time, the head of the publicity department of Universal Pictures approached Little Gilbert and Gwyneth Paltrow: "Little Gilbert, we have formulated a plan to promote the scandal and we need your cooperation."

"You said..." Little Gilbert motioned for the other party to speak out.

The director of the publicity department took out the plan and showed it to Gilbert and Gwyneth Paltrow, and then explained to himself: "The plan is like this, we have decided to hype up the scandal between you two.

Just use tabloids and sexy news to hype that you fell in love during the production of the movie, so as to attract attention. "

If Gilbert Jr. was an old man in his fifties or sixties, the hype would have little effect and would instead arouse public resentment.

But Gilbert Jr. is a 21-year-old director, and Gwyneth Paltrow is only 18 years old. They are about the same age.

And little Gilbert also has a good image. Among a group of crooked directors in Hollywood, his image is enough to be called a handsome boy, and he has no problem becoming an idol star.

This makes Universal Pictures feel that there is a lot to be done to hype up the scandal between the two.

Little Gilbert turned to Gwyneth Paltrow and asked: "What do you mean?"

"Whatever," Gwyneth Paltrow said nonchalantly: "As long as Universal Pictures can convince my rigid dad, I'll be fine."

The director of the publicity department smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have communicated with Mr. Paltrow and he agrees with this plan."

"Then it doesn't matter, we just cooperate." Gwyneth Paltrow said, then she remembered something and asked the head of the publicity department: "Then can I live with little Gilbert?"

The director of the publicity department responded naturally: "You are both in love, isn't it normal to live together?"

"Yeah, great, I'm liberated." Gwyneth Paltrow cheered, then danced gracefully, leaving the head of the publicity department stunned.

"What happened to her?" the publicity director asked.

Little Gilbert guessed: "I haven't done yoga for a few months, maybe I'm suffocating!"

"Oh!" The publicity director smiled meaningfully, expressing his understanding.
