"I need to think about this, Harvey."

Wayne gently scratched the stubble on his chin with his hands holding cigarettes. After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything completely. No matter what, this matter was not something that could be discussed clearly, and the environment was not suitable.

"Ok!"

The fat man stood up happily and shook hands with him again. "If you have time, welcome to Miramax. Quentin likes your production style very much. Knowing that I'm here, he wants me to help invite you to the premiere of "Pulp Novels".

"No problem. If you go back, you ask him to send me an invitation letter. I will definitely support you when the time comes!"

Wayne also agreed happily. Of course, the premise of all this is the cooperation in the future. If the agreement is settled, it will naturally support each other. If the agreement is not right, there will be no need.

After saying these words, Harvey Weinstein turned around and left the rest area, but he did not rush to leave, but walked to the first-floor cinema and waited for the screening of "The Joker's Return" to begin.

He wanted to see what kind of film it was. As a producer who wanted to work with the other party several times but never became famous, Harvey Weinstein always felt that he was underestimating the other party's abilities.

Especially last year's "The Joker", which swept the world, this film made Wayne Greenberg a god, and directly changed from a genre film director who is good at making big fame with small profits to the most special commercial director in the circle.

There are many similarities to Quentin Tarantino's production style, or in other words, they are more similar in some places. But Harvey Weinstein always feels that Quentin is like Wayne before "The Joker", and there are some special things that are very different between the two.

In particular, Quentin's use of violent shots is much more common than Wayne's films.

Most importantly, Quentin's film structure is mostly a wild and unruly chapter, while Wayne Greenberg tends to multi-line narrative, which is the two essential differences.

From here, we can easily see that Wayne's habit is still a rigorous orthodox academic school, but everyone is attracted by his strong personal style and never wants to divide him into an academic school.

Just watching Wayne Greenberg's films, the core is always a protagonist or story that is both good and evil, and it thoroughly and distorts the analysis of human nature and social problems. It is serious about violence but does not abuse it, but it is used like a surging river, which can instantly release the audience's emotions.

Quentin Tarantino is a little different. His films have more violent tendencies. It can also be said that violent aesthetics fill the whole story, as if it is making you happy all the time and allowing you to release your emotions at any time.

Harvey Weinstein didn't expect much, and he just hoped that Quentin, a director who was somewhat similar to Wayne, could reach half of the other party's business performance, so he would be very content.

"I just asked. The invitation letter that the fat man brought in temporarily was not sent to him by Warner Brothers." Nina went around and whispered to her boss after she came back.

Nodding, Wayne didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry about him, this person is a very smart character, and his skin is definitely thick enough, otherwise he wouldn't have become such a successful producer."

The other party can make Miramax's business prosperous, and it relies on various independent films and types of films. This kind of low-cost movie is the most test of eye and business ability. Unlike big investments and big productions, it is the project with the highest success rate in Hollywood.

Apart from the outsider Harvey Weinstein, no one else stood up today, which also made the premiere a stage for fans. Almost except for the media area, the audience was full of fans sitting behind the theater.

"Wayne."

"Mr. Greenberg!"

Under the leadership of his elder sister Drew Barrymore, a group of young actors who had just attended the press conference returned to the lounge on the second floor. They were not as old as watching the movie. Without their parents following, they could only say hello and prepare to leave.

Wayne stood up and walked to the young actors, patted their shoulders one by one, and said, "Go back early and rest. You will start the nationwide publicity tomorrow morning. Believe me, this is definitely not an easy task, especially for you kids."

"You're not with us?" Drew Barrymore asked in surprise. Normally, whether as a film director or a project producer, he should lead the team to promote it.

"No." Wayne shook his head. "I still have a lot of work to be busy. Another crew will have problems to solve at any time. I will stay in Los Angeles."

Several children politely greeted each other, and then left under the leadership of Drew Barrymore. The girl's complaints could be heard. "Damn it, why don't we watch the movies we starred in..."

Compared to Li Guohao, they really can't watch the movies they star in, and even the curtain call after the film is over, they can't participate by themselves, which is really not friendly to an actor.

This premiere is less disturbing, and even the press conference is held before the film is screened, and there are less party and cocktail parties after the film is screened. From this perspective, this is really a simple premiere.

Just as Wayne and others returned to the screening room and sat in the front row waiting for the film to begin, an uninvited guest walked into the middle of the movie fans silently. Warner Bros. did not invite critics because they had already done public relations before.

But I can't resist anyone who has watched it. I want to watch it again, such as Todd McCarthy sitting among the movie fans.

He can be regarded as one of Wayne's hardcore supporters. He admires this kind of black video very much and will not give up on this opportunity to watch it once, which will also help publish reviews on his column.

Although the taste of film critics is always contrary to that of popular movie fans, and they always talk about art, but Todd McCarthy understands that it is the industry rules, just to highlight the elegance of their appreciation level.

However, film critics are also a type of movie fans. Among them, there are no stupid people who can become famous. They are also sucking blood in the production industry, but they will always understand the needs of popular movie fans. If they really think they are superior and leave the foundation of popular movie fans, they may only be abandoned by popular movie fans.

Without the basic foundation of popular movie fans, production companies will no longer publicize them. Without the influence, no matter how elegant and artistic the film critics are, they will starve to death.

"It's not easy for us to wait for this movie."

Todd McCarthy suddenly heard the chat in the front row, talking to a young man, and his two friends were girls.

At this time, one of the Latino girls gave a thumbs up at the boy. "Jesse, you are still great, you can get tickets for the premiere movie!"

"Emma, ​​this is not my credit, it was brought by my dad. He also asked someone to get it from the staff of Warner Bros. Their company mainly operates products, which are around Warner Bros.'s movies."

The person named Jesse is a white boy. Under the observation of Todd McCarthy, they should be both college students and should be around 20 years old.

"Yes." At this time, another white girl said: "After waiting for several months, Wayne's new film finally came. I thought I could see it in May. Jesse, can you turn around and ask your dad to help you get two Wayne Greenberg's signatures. He is so handsome. I heard that he was a quarterback on the school team when he was in school..."

The lights in the cinema began to go out one by one, and the few people chatting in front also let out a lighter voice. In the cinema of hundreds of people, all kinds of messy sounds gradually became smaller.

Most of the fans who can come here to attend the premiere are Wayne's fans or horror-type fans. Everyone consciously stopped the chores and focused on the lit screen.

"There are already hard-core movie fans and followers. Wayne, I really can't see through you, an alternative director..."

Taking the attention back from several young people, Todd McCarthy also turned his attention to the big screen, but he still noticed that Wayne has a lot of hardcore movie fans, and they are all the main groups of movie consumption, young people!

This is a bit unreasonable. The directors are behind the scenes, no matter what, some directors with hard-core movie fans are the kind who have accumulated over ten or twenty years, and most of the fans are middle-aged and elderly people of similar age.

In fact, this famous film critic will not be surprised by all this in just ten years. At that time, the director will basically go from behind the scenes to the front stage, and everyone will have more or less supportive groups.

The fans of directors are different from celebrities. They will not ask the director they like to be handsome, have good character, or have moral issues. They will only ask the director they like to be, that is, make good movies.

Compared with those star fan clubs, this kind of fan advocate has higher loyalty.

Warner Bros. logo began to appear on the big screen, and Bella Grant hurriedly ran to her seat. When she sat down and looked at the big screen, she happened to catch up with the beginning of the film.

The word "Wayne Greenberg's work!" passed.

The film officially begins. The story takes place in a small town called Deli. The male protagonist Bill and his younger brother appear on the scene. He folded a paper boat for his younger brother. The younger brother happily took the paper boat and ran out to play happily.

It was raining heavily outside, and the paper boat floated forward along the rain, and the little boy also rushed to chase him quickly.

The camera also floated into the sewer along the paper boat. When the little boy bent down and was about to pick up the paper boat, who would have thought that suddenly a clown stood at the sewer entrance.

The little boy was so scared that he sat on the ground. The clown looked at him with a smile and actually spoke to him. The little boy naively reached into the sewer to get the paper boat.

Suddenly, countless fangs appeared in the clown's mouth, and his ferocious fangs were bitten off the little boy's arm in one bite, and then he dragged him into the sewer!

"ah!!!"

“Oh God!”

“fxxk!”

The audience in the cinema were watching attentively, and suddenly they were scared and screamed. Everyone was frightened by this shot. This shot was different from an American horror film, with a bit of a combination of East and West.

What scares American horror movies lies in the plasma and a lot of plasma, while what scares oriental horror movies lies in the atmosphere and suddenness.

It can be said that the audience has seen such a scene for the first time. This sudden bloody scene gave everyone an accident, an accident that was completely unprepared!
