17- The other side of the circle

The crew finished filming the day before New Year's Eve, which made everyone feel happy. After dinner, Wayne changed into a refreshing dress and walked into the bar.

I didn't bother anyone, and just like usual, I hid in a corner of the bartender, asked the bartender for a large glass of beer, and slowly drank it and thought about things.

"Hey Wayne. Why do you drink alone every time, or do you like to secretly observe everyone in the bar?"

Naomi sat next to him easily, touched him with the bottle. Wayne took a big sip of beer and glanced at the direction where Naomi came. Lily was fighting with Rose, and several people shouted from time to time.

"No, I'm not used to that atmosphere. Why don't you play with them?"

Naomi turned her head to the group of people who were caring, and looked at Lily holding a large bottle of strong wine, tilting her head directly into her throat. The people next to her were applauding hard. She looked at Lily with a tangled expression and said:

"My God, she drinks like that, don't she have any shape? I really can't adapt to their playing style."

"Yes, Lily is behind the scenes. Unless she wants to, her figure will not affect her career. This is nothing. In this circle, even a few celebrities who have become famous can achieve self-discipline."

He is quite familiar with the species of celebrities, and there are too few self-disciplined people. Not to mention alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, bisexuality, and various ways of committing suicide are all played with by this group.

Naomi obviously can't get in touch with those, and the little actor is not qualified to indulge, so she asked him in confusion:

"Are the actresses the same? If those famous female stars also drink like this, how can they maintain their figure? I can't believe it."

He drank the remaining half of the beer in one sip, knocked hard on the bar, signaling the bartender to pour himself a big glass. He turned around and chatted with Naomi.

"Not all actresses are like this, but it is not uncommon for most of them to drink alcohol, smoke drug powder, smoke leaf cigarettes and so on at various carnival parties. This is the circle like this. Whether it is a female star or a male star, everyone is trying hard to find all kinds of stimulation."

Naomi listened to these secrets that almost everyone in the circle knew. Although she had heard of some of them before and was not a simple person, in her imagination, this circle was still glamorous and not so corrupt.

"Will we become that way in the future? Wayne."

"Don't think too much, Nami, you want to live such a life, provided that you have to succeed and become famous. Now it is still far away from us, why are everyone working hard here? If you don't work hard, you don't even have the qualification to indulge."

Naomi shook her head with a wry smile, right? Because she is still too far away from that circle, she becomes curious because she cannot get in touch.

"Wait for me, I'll go to the bathroom."

Wayne watched her put down the bottle and went to the bathroom with her bag. As soon as Naomi left, Luke sat next to him and asked Wayne with a smell of alcohol:

"Although this woman is very scheming, I can see that she has not become that kind of flesh and blood. She treats you well. Maybe you can consider making a formal girlfriend."

He lit a cigarette and shook his head:

"It's not the time. I only have work in my heart now. Before I succeed, I won't talk about emotional issues. Isn't this good? If you like it, spend the night together. If you don't feel it, don't bother each other. Hollywood-style love, don't think too much."

Wayne's idea should be placed on the short video platform in later generations, and he is definitely a representative of scumbags. It is normal here, especially in Hollywood.

Not to mention this circle of entertainment until death, breaking and reunion is basically the norm in society at all times. Perhaps some places in the United States, especially the central part, are very conservative, but most young people in cities still adhere to the theme of openness.

This is the case in the West. After more than ten or twenty years, even if the national server is rising at a miraculous speed, young people in big cities will become the norm in their lives.

"Just be happy!"

Luke clinked his glasses and went to party with the crew with the bottle.

"Wayne, do you care about them?"

Naomi came back from the bathroom and pointed at the crew.

He turned around and realized that they had already hid in the corner together, swaying their bodies to the music. Ross held a hand cigarette in his hand and took a hard sip, handing it to Lily, who was obviously drunk.

"Forget it, let them go. When we go back, I drink a little too much and don't want to stay here."

He put on his coat and pulled Naomi out, and suddenly stopped at the bar door and waved to Luke. When Luke came over and told him to be safe, he pulled Naomi out of the bar.

There was no one else in the bar tonight, except for the crew, there were some extras, so Wayne was not afraid of them causing trouble. The work was over, and what they were willing to do had nothing to do with him.

At such unofficial parties, alcohol and leaf cigarettes are essential items, and it is not uncommon for people to swallow the clouds and spit out the mist.

In middle school, he had come into contact with Ye Ziyan. Although he was curious to try it, he never took action. He was very rational and knew that this kind of inducing thing was the culprit of powder addiction.

During the period of filming, he also saw Rose and the others hiding in the corner and sucking, and he had never foolishly stopped him. This is the norm in Hollywood. Under the bright sunshine of California, there are all kinds of indescribable darkness.

"Are we going back? Wayne."

"Go back, if you want to continue talking, there is also beer in the hotel."

Wayne pulled her open the door and took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator. The two sat in front of the window and looked at the bright night sky.

"Wayne, don't tell me you've never smoked those, and you haven't smoked them at the party when you were in school?"

Naomi glanced at the big boy curiously, and she clearly saw the disgust of Ye Ziyan in his eyes just now.

"No, I've been curious, but I haven't met it once. Later, my classmates and teammates thought I was bored and stopped calling me at the party."

Not only in the past and now, even if he is under great pressure in his work in the future, he will not touch those things. Hollywood, a place that can amplify all emotions and always use power, wealth and opportunities as bargaining chips for life and death, has too many film and television entertainment practitioners, from victims of these things to perpetrators.

The circle of fame and fortune is different from the ordinary lifestyle, with heavy pressure and stimulation of success, and the ease of obtaining money, fame and fortune. These special groups are not lost in them, and it is really difficult for people to preserve their healthy personality.

Not to mention anything else, he has seen a lot of news in his later generations, because he has ruined his Hollywood stars by sucking these things, and all the A-cats in them have to line up.

Famous people include Robert Downey Jr. and his father Robert the Sr., Johnny Depp, captain of the Black Pearl, and his two good friends Keanu Reeves and Revan Phoenix.

Robert Downey, the old man, was famous for taking drugs. When he arrived at his son, he followed his father's path and sucked more and more fiercely. After several times he was released from prison, he had been relying on Mel Gibson to help find some small roles to do odd jobs.

Even though he later turned over with Marvel's Iron Man and became a star in this series, the rumors about him sucking these things have not stopped. It's just that no media reported it anymore, after all, the media is also a tool in the hands of capital.

If Donny turned over, he was not completely destroyed, Revan Phoenix sucked these things and sucked to death. If it weren't for his excessive use, Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp wouldn't have repented. In the end, their achievements were hard to say whether they could be so high.

"Hey, what are you thinking? Why are you stunned?"

Naomi pushed him hard, and he came back and apologized:

"Sorry, I didn't hear what you said just now, and suddenly I thought of something."

"I asked if you were going to my room? Or should I stay?"

"No, Nami, have a good rest. I also want to think about post-production."

This was the last night of the crew's existence, and it was also the key night for him to direct the movie. After two months of shooting, he practiced too much paper knowledge and learned to compromise for work.

Those staff, except Luke, wouldn't be involved in post-production, so their work means it's over, all they have to do is to roar hard, to numb yourself, and then go back and continue to search for the next crew.

So whether they questioned Wayne's ability at the beginning or the conflict between the props and the setter during the shooting, all of them will end as the night passes.

The next morning, the convoy returned to Los Angeles, and everyone slowly separated silently. He deposited the film he had taken in the bank and returned to the single apartment where he had been away for two months.

He has no holidays and is about to start a new job. He picked up the phone and called his agent.

"Hello, this is Wayne Greenberg Jimmy. My shooting is over. I'll talk to you about something. If it's convenient, come to my apartment."

"Okay, I'll be here in the afternoon."

Jimmy hung up the phone. In the past two months, he had never visited the crew for a visit except for occasionally calling his two clients. In his heart, he had already determined that this film was just a masterpiece of this novice director.

He helped recruit the crew and most of the actors, and he knew very well the value. If it weren't for some commissions to be received in the early stage, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

This kind of simple production team with more than a dozen people is considered a small workshop even in the independent film industry. It is too difficult to successfully produce a film above the level. Now that he has heard that the shooting has been completed successfully, he already thinks that Wayne's ability is pretty good.

He knew that the young director's ambition was not just about using this film as a graduation thesis-style work, but definitely wanted to promote the theater. It was not that it was impossible, but the chance was too low. There were countless crews in Hollywood shooting every day, and being able to enter the theater was only a very small part of it.
