Chapter 720 Chapter 720

Joseph has been very busy recently. The period from the end of the year to the beginning of the new year is always the busiest. The summary of the past year's work, the prospect of the new year's work, the gathering of awards ceremonies, the intensive party dinners... There are countless Business always has brokers going back and forth. This is especially true for Joseph. He not only has to arrange the work of Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, etc., but also guards the crew of "Life and Death". Hugo's filming work has always made People can't be relieved, which makes Joseph finally realize what it means to be incapable of being cloned.

Joseph's workload has increased dramatically this year, and with the Oscars approaching, he has become more and more busy. This year, the entertainers in Joseph's hands, Nicholas and Hugo, both qualified to attend the Oscars. Nicholas is the presenter and he will present the Best Sound Award, while Hugo is naturally the nominee for the Best Supporting Actor Award. Attendance, so the work in Joseph's hands is naturally multiplied.

Since the Oscar nomination list came out, sponsorships from major clothing brands have come one after another. They are not looking at Nicholas, who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy last year, but Hugo, who was nominated for the Oscar for the first time this year.

This is not difficult to understand, aside from Hugo's current popularity and attention, just in terms of appearance and figure, even now Nicholas is only 30 years old, just the age of handsome and handsome; More than one grade off. If you can get Hugo to appear on the red carpet wearing his own brand or a designer's special design, then the eyeball effect will definitely be very impressive.

The Oscar's red carpet has always been dubbed the world's largest fashion show stage, because this night's awards ceremony is not only the most lively banquet of the movie, but also the ratings leader in the United States after the Super Bowl. There are endless influences in various fields.

The most famous in history is Halle Berry, who became the first black actress in film history at the 74th Academy Awards in 2002, wearing a lace embroidered evening dress. On the stage of accepting the award, the designer of the evening dress, Elie. Saab, was originally a newcomer who had just entered the haute couture circle for less than three years, and did not have much fame at all, but became famous overnight after the Oscars , became so red, and later established a fashion brand named after him, which was widely sought after.

Such a miracle, on the Oscars red carpet, is not a luxury. So, the red carpet is definitely a fierce battleground for top fashion brands and designers.

Generally speaking, the brokerage agency of fashion brands, designers and stylists will provide stylists or actor agents with three choices, one is the dresses specially designed by the designer for actors, the other is the clothing catalogue of famous brands, There is also a new catalogue of Paris Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week in the season.

Actors will take a look at these and then make choices. In addition, some actors will go to the brand store in person, take the fancy dress directly to try it on, and finally choose the best one. Since most of these dresses are unique in the world, once the actors choose a suitable dress, they will take it away, and there is basically no possibility of bumping into the shirt.

Two months or more before the awards ceremony, designers and brand agents will contact Hollywood's top stylists, send them sample catalogues, carry various invitations, invite stylists to yacht weekend parties, trip to Europe. Gatherings and parties are the best occasions, which is one of the reasons why high-class people in Europe and the United States always like parties and parties: this is a good opportunity to expand contacts.

In short, designers will go out of their way to impress top stylists, hoping to get them to convince their clients to wear their pieces. By the week before the Oscars, stylists often have hundreds of gowns on hand.

In turn, stylists use A-listers on their client lists as bait to get clothing from big-name designers. For a designer, the vows of a stylist who may have made a last-minute decision to wear something on a third-tier entertainer cannot be trusted without seeing the actor on the red carpet. Of course, it is also possible that a staggered time will let the stylist decide the costumes of the top artists at the Oscars. This may be the beginning of a myth.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call the Oscar red carpet show the most influential fashion show of the year. And the popular artists have become the top supermodels.

These artists, since they want to "walk the show", naturally have to receive salaries. Hollywood female artists are recognized as the most organized and planned group to maintain close contact with designers. After years of evolution, the situation has changed a long time ago: once, it was artists who begged top fashion brands to lend their clothes; as time passed, it gradually evolved into designers paying artists to wear their clothes.

Especially in the early 1990s when the economic environment was sluggish, the competition of top fashion brands began to gradually evolve and intensify. After entering the 21st century, the situation has intensified. All top fashion brands are doing their best to hope The top performers can wear their own costumes on the Oscars red carpet.

The competition between actresses is fierce, and it is no less competitive among male actors.

Although the clothes of male actors are suits, and no matter how many patterns become, they are just those few pieces, but for people in the fashion industry, this is very important, and a change in detail is destined to lead the fashion trend of a season. Compared with actresses, male actors pay more attention to their own style and personality. Taking Johnny Depp as an example, his requirements for hats and accessories have his own style, which also makes him different on the red carpet. Weapons of other actors.

Since Hugo has not been equipped with his own exclusive stylist, in the past, Joseph contacted the brokerage agency to provide clothing for Hugo to choose.

These brokerage agencies are actually similar to those of major actors. They will sign agency rights with brands all over the world and gather the clothing of these brands in Los Angeles. Whenever important premieres, dinners, and awards ceremonies come, the brokerage agency will invite stylists, managers or artists themselves to choose clothes.

With Hugo's current popularity and development prospects, there is no doubt that Hugo has become the most popular candidate for major brands. Not only clothing brokerage agencies have come to the door, but even top brands can't stand it and show up in person, only hoping to be able to work with him. Hugo reached a cooperation.

Joseph also has no vision for fashion. He can only keep all the clothing catalogs, and then take it to the crew to choose for Hugo, and finally Hugo makes the decision.

This also made Joseph deeply realize that Hugo's team is far from enough. At present, Hugo's working team is actually three people, Joseph, Samora and Henry, but there are no managers, stylists, bodyguards, and lawyers. On top of that, Hugo has never signed a professional PR agent. This is completely inconsistent with Hugo's current achievements and status.

After the Oscar is over, especially after the turmoil within the International Innovation Management Company has temporarily reached a certain stage, Joseph believes that it is very necessary to form a professional team for Hugo.

Joseph sorted out the clothing catalogue on the desktop and was about to go to Los Angeles International Airport again. At this time, the office door rang, and Joseph didn't lift his head, he just raised his voice and said, "Please come in."

Karl Earl pushed the door and walked in, "Are you busy?"

Joseph glanced up and raised the clothing catalogue in his hand with a chuckle, "A big project."

Carl walked in and closed the door, "It's all Hugo's, or does it include Cage's?"

"Hugo is alone." Joseph chuckled, "Actually, there are still several parties who have been inviting me to attend, but I think they seem to have misplaced the point. In the end, it is Hugo, not me, who has the final decision. My vision for choosing clothes, I guess they will all be disappointed."

Carl walked to the desk and helped organize the clothing catalog. At a rough glance, Carl was taken aback, "How many are there?"

"There are thirteen brands, seventeen designers, and four clothing brokers." Joseph replied while thinking, "Believe me, I was also frightened by their enthusiasm."

"Hugo deserves this kind of treatment." Carl said with a smile. Actors with natural advantages like Hugo were originally favored by costume designers, and now Hugo has achieved such a huge career in his career. Success is even more remarkable. Even Tom Cruise would probably have to stand aside in front of Hugo - after all, Tom's height is so bad that he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

After laughing, Carl hesitated for a moment, but still said, "What about Cage's? Isn't he also going to attend the Oscars?"

Joseph stopped moving in his hands, then raised his head and looked at Carl, "He has a whole work team. As an agent, all I can do is make a few phone calls." When an actor has a complete work team When the time comes, the division of labor will be clear and definite. The agent is in charge of personal connections, and the time to meet with the actors is drastically reduced. This is also the reason why top managers can operate multiple artists at the same time.

Carl looked at the calm smile on Joseph's face, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He had no more scruples, and said directly, "Joe, haven't you heard the rumor that Cage is going to change his agent?" Carl is because This matter came to Joseph, but he was very worried, but now it seems that Joseph was completely kept in the dark.

But he didn't want to, but Joseph chuckled twice, then curled his lips and said indifferently, "I know." In fact, Joseph may have had a hunch about the arrival of this day, a long time ago.
