Facing the preaching of film critics such as David Denby, Wayne kept frowning and perfunctory. It was impossible for him to argue with the other party at this point in time. Staying silent is the best way now.

As the crowd dispersed, Naomi Watts and Bruce Rosenblum had just come over, and before they could say a few words, a Jewish old man in a relatively conservative tuxedo suit with a white Mediterranean, walked towards them with a female black man and another white man.

In the banquet hall now, countless people are looking at this direction intentionally or unintentionally. This low-key and special combination has attracted the attention of many people.

"It's Frank Pearson, the chairman of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, and the woman behind it is Cheryl Boone Isaacs, and it's very likely that she will be the next chairman of the school. This African-American woman is quite not simple, and I don't have any information on another man."

The three people coming towards him were obviously targeting them. Nina approached Wayne and whispered quickly in his ear.

"Wayne, if you want an Oscar Little Golden Man, Warner Bros. Of course, they won't wait until the awards season to do their jobs." Bruce Rosenblum reached out and patted his shoulder. "This is what Jeff and I specially prepared for you, and it has great benefits for the Oscar journey of "The Walker".

After saying that, he walked forward two steps, met the three people who were walking over with wine glasses, said hello, and enthusiastically introduced them to both parties.

"Wayne, this is Mr. Pearson, who came here specifically today to attend your premiere."

"Hello, Mr. Pearson." Wayne showed a slightly reserved smile, stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the white-haired and white-bearded old man. "Thank you very much, you can come to the premiere of my new film."

The college president smiled and shook hands, he raised his left hand and patted Wayne on the arm. "The film was very exciting, and I personally like this "The Walker of the Stop" very much."

Wayne has seen this kind of smile on the other party countless times since entering Hollywood. Obviously, this old man regarded him as one of his "his own people". It seems that even if he doesn't have to show his own deliberate performance, he should be able to leave enough favorable feelings for the other party this time.

"Thank you. Oh, damn it, I remembered it."

While talking and laughing, Wayne raised his hand and patted his forehead in the surprised eyes of several people, showing a sudden enlightenment, and looked at the old man beside him with respect.

"It's "Hot Day Afternoon" and "Blood on the Iron Window", I hope I remember the name of the movie correctly." When the names of the two movies were spoken from him, he keenly discovered that the old Jewish man's smile became even brighter.

No one doesn't like to hear compliments, and this kind of compliments that the old predecessors like the most is undoubtedly to praise the glory they have achieved, even if everyone knows that they are long outdated.

Coincidentally, he really watched these classic old movies with Old Greenberg, so he pretended to blurt out the words as soon as possible.

"Ha, among the young people nowadays, few people still like to watch old movies." Frank Pearson took the initiative to raise his glass, took a big sip of champagne, and said curiously with a smile: "It's really surprising that you've seen these two movies."

"I have been watching movies since I was a child, and the videotapes almost filled the storage room at home." Wayne shrugged and opened his hand to make an exaggerated gesture of describing. "It's a coincidence that these two movies were specially recommended to me by my father, and I remember them quite clearly."

He has really watched all these classic movies from the 1970s and 1980s. In his special growth environment, his childhood was completely wandering in the ocean of old movies, so these are not lies, but they are just some compliments that are not easy to detect.

Almost as long as it is an old movie, Wayne will remember the names of the film directors or the names of famous screenwriters. After so many years, even if there is only a slight impression, he remembered it after the reminder just now.

"We are old, you are doing very well now." The old man waved his hand and pointed to the rest area, taking the lead in walking over. "Steven Spielberg started in the 1980s and was like a dazzling sun, and he achieved great success before everyone could react.

After entering the 1990s, you did better than Steven and you succeed much faster. You must know that there are many people watching you, and some things that you don’t try to fight for will be yours in the end. There will never be any surprises."

Since entering this circle, more than one old Jewish man has said similar things to him. As his achievements become more and more brilliant, he is destined to attract more attention, which he himself is very clear about.

But the meaning of these old men is very obvious, and the subtext is that even if it fails this time, it doesn’t matter. The little golden man will have him sooner or later.

But he didn't like this uncertain waiting. Based on the situation he is in now, it is estimated that Old Martin had definitely received such similar promises in his previous life, but in the end, he did get the little golden man, but too many years have passed.

The old man was still talking about this topic. Except for Wayne, the people present all showed obvious happy smiles. Even the two women Naomi Watts and Nina understood how much weight these words were from the mouths of the college president.

The African-American woman sitting next to Frank Pearson pretended to be careless after hearing the old man's words and kept observing Wayne. Obviously, this woman was very interested in him, but she didn't say a word.

"I like the story of "The Walker of the Skies."

Flack Pearson talked back to the movie, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful look. "In this story, good and evil play each other, and the two protagonists performed quite well. They put on masks and appeared in front of people around them. This mask was extremely opposite to their true self. They could go to destruction at any time, and what destroyed them could be internal pressure or people they betrayed.

The longer the mask is, the more they agree with the group they penetrate and even desire to be appreciated by the group. If you want to play a good gang member, then you have to live in the way of a gangster. If you want to play a good policeman, then you have to fight crime with justice.

I like your design of the ending of the film, which is abrupt, but in line with the laws of reality. This is not a Hollywood-style ending, but it directly makes people feel absurd and refreshing. When Billy died suddenly, the tension of the film became stronger in an instant, because Colin's false identity is likely to become his real identity in the future..."

"I gave you the wrong address, but you rushed to the right place." When talking about this line, Frank Pearsonhower whistled unpretentiously, and his love was not concealed at all. "This is the most touching place, which transforms the dilemma of an undercover agent and the guilt of betrayal!"

It is obvious that this old man really watched the movie very seriously, and even if he was invited by Warner Bros., there was no perfunctory at all.

"Frank, your appreciation has made me more confident in this film."

Wayne raised his wine glass at the right time and touched the happy old man.

"Hey, Frank, since you like this movie, Wayne's other movies must be in line with your taste." Bruce Rosenblum, who was standing beside him, smiled and blinked at Wayne in secret.

"Oh, sorry, I've only watched that "The Joker" before that." Frank Pearson said a little apologetically.

"It doesn't matter."

The Warner Bros. executive who was waiting for this sentence immediately said happily: "We have copies of all Wayne's films. Tomorrow, I will ask the staff to send them to you. Believe me, the original copy of Warner Bros. will definitely be much better than the videotapes on the market."

It can be said that he had been busy all night, and this is the real purpose of Bruce Rosenblum. Even a fool knows that Warner Bros. gave out more than just a copy of the movie in the name of borrowing or appreciation.

"Ha, now I'm also interested in Wayne's other films." Frank Pearson nodded with a smile, and stood up at the same time, signaling the man who was accompanying him.

The man took out a business card from his shirt pocket. This business card was very special. There was no introduction to titles and positions. There was only one name and two phone numbers. The business card was solemnly picked up by Nina with both hands, and then handed the man a Wayne's personal business card.

"Child, if you have time, you can call me. If you are willing to listen to the old man's nagging, you can ask me to play a game." The old Jewish man patted Wayne on the shoulder again. It seemed that he had a very good impression of him today. Obviously, his deliberate humility won the great favor of this old senior.

"No problem." Wayne nodded slightly with a reserved head and said with a smile: "You know, I need your experience. If you have time, I will definitely ask you to play basketball."

After a simple contact, Wayne left the rest area with a few people, looked at Bruce Rosenblum while walking, and said in a low voice: "This time, thanks to you and Jeff."

He understood how difficult it would be to invite such a big guy. Don't think that Frank Pearson is like an old gentleman now, and think that this person must be easy to talk to.

For old guys like this, it is almost difficult for Warner Bros. to express their position if they don’t give anything. For example, the movie copy I just mentioned is not just a movie copy.

Since you have a copy of the movie, do you need to have screening equipment? It is definitely not enough to have equipment alone, and the viewing environment must be good, right? Finally, a brand new and luxurious small home screening room will appear unknowingly.
