hollywood draw

On the evening of March 23, 1998, the hot sunlight in the sky was still there, indicating that another hot season in Los Angeles was coming. A black extended version of Rolles slowly drove over and stopped next to the long red carpet in front of the Los Angeles Temple Theater. The cheers and screams of hundreds of movie fans instantly ignited the streets that were about to enter the night.

"This is ABC TV Station. The 70th Hollywood Awards Ceremony has begun. Let's see, the next one to walk on the red carpet is that big star. Wow, this car may only be the only one in the entire Hollywood, in North America."

As in previous years, this year's Oscars are still broadcast live from ABC Channel to the whole world. At the end of the long red carpet, Reeves Daly, the host of ABC Channel standing in the theater interview area, began to introduce the live camera in endlessly from the moment the car stopped.

"It can be seen that Wayne Greenberg still chose a black slim dress, which has formed his own dressing habit. Generally, in formal occasions, he is a choice that will never go wrong. oh my god! Ms. Naomi Watts is his regular female companion for formal occasions, and today's outfit is much more outstanding. Chanel's latest season customized little black dress sets off..."

The host who was talking, looked at the group of men and women who had just gotten off the car, who caused the media and movie fans to have a carnival. According to the audience's favorite pattern, they began to introduce their clothes from top to bottom.

When every guest who appeared on the red carpet appeared in the live broadcast of ABC Global, the first thing he did was to be commented from head to toe, which seemed to have become a regular program.

It can be said that fashion has never left the entertainment industry. Every year there are a large number of TV programs to select the most eye-catching stars on this red carpet. It is precisely the actresses who can dress up on this red every year can often lead the dressing style of ordinary people throughout the year.

Wayne and the other two walked on the red carpet, and the host heard a reminder. He did not stop the action, glanced at the man and woman who were about to leave the media interview area, and nodded to the director behind the scenes with slightest inquiry.

"Hey, Ms. Coppola, you're so beautiful tonight."

As the gold host of ABC Channel, Reeves Daly knew the speed of the two walking the red carpet without any hesitation. He immediately ended the brief introduction and led the live broadcast camera to Sofia Coppola and Nicholas Cage who had just received the interview.

"Before you enter the theater, there is a small question, is that OK?"

“yep.”

Seeing multiple cameras flashing red lights at him, Sophia Coppola and Nicholas Cage quickly looked at each other, showed a decent smile, and nodded at the host.

"Sofia, we all know that you joined Wayne's crew the year before and became the director's assistant and deputy director of The Flash. Can you talk about why you wanted to join his team, uh, as we all know, you have a lot of choices."

Sofia Coppola, standing in front of the camera, turned her head slightly, and saw Wayne and Naomi Watts who had walked halfway through the red carpet, immediately understood the meaning of stopping her question, which was nothing more than ratings.

Without thinking, she put away the smile on her face to the host's microphone, put on a formal expression, and said, "I am almost thirty years old, so, the reason for choosing to join Wayne's crew is very simple.

As I am about to enter the golden period of the workplace, my idea is to work with excellent people, learn their excellent working methods, and maintain the continuous successful work philosophy. This is much more useful than banging your head, and more useful than earning more money for a salary!”

"Thanks."

As soon as the brief question ended, the host immediately led the camera and pointed it at the two people who had walked through the red carpet again. After seeing them signing the autographs, he immediately rushed up before the reporters surrounded him.

"Mr. Greenberg, Ms. Watts."

Seeing the host coming to the front with a smile on his face, Wayne and Naomi Watts stood there and nodded friendly with each other.

"Mr. Greenberg, can you make a prediction? Who do you think is the best director of the Oscar this year? Curtis Hanson of "Los Angeles City Secret", Gus Van Sant of "The Mind Catcher" or James Cameron of "Titanic"?"

After the Oscar nomination is announced every year, the topic that ordinary people are most excited and fascinated is who will be the final winner. This is especially true for this year. "Batman: The Dark Knight" withdraws from the competition for heavyweight awards early, which instead raises this suspense to the greatest extent.

Various prediction agencies, media, and even spinach companies in Las Vegas have given relatively different prediction results with their own reasons.

Before the small envelope was opened tonight, this prediction of the moment before the results came out is the most popular program for the audience. Basically, every big shot in the circle who walks the red carpet will be asked this question by the host of ABC.

"I personally like James."

Without any hesitation, Wayne directly expressed his opinion in the face of the live broadcast. "James' work performance on "Titanic" can be regarded as great, and the college should recognize his work. Of course, this only represents my personal opinion."

If you only look at the style of past Oscars, then "Los Angeles Secret" or "The Mind Catcher" will undoubtedly be more in line with the tastes of the old men in the academy.

This is the main reason for the suspense being raised to the greatest extent. No one can deny the success of "Titanic", but if you want to win an Oscar, your commercial attributes will always be the biggest flaw. This also makes the directors of films such as "The Mind Catcher", "Los Angeles City Secret", "The Six Heroes of Light Pigs", and "The Perfection" willing to invest a lot of energy and money in the awards season to participate in public relations.

No one can figure out the ideas of the academy members, which means everyone has a chance, and the situation this year is very special. After "Titanic" won an unprecedented fourteen award nominations, only one result will occur.

Either the commercial achievements of "Titanic" made the college bow their heads completely, win two awards for Best Director and Best Film, killing everything. Or the college’s most common practice in the past is to divide pork and distribute several heavyweight awards to films that meet the taste of the college.

With the summary of his years of staying in Hollywood, Wayne would give the same answer even if he didn't know the final result in advance. On the one hand, the judges must not ignore the record box office results of "Titanic", and on the other hand, it is because even if this film is a commercial film, it is adapted based on real events.

Without giving the host a chance to ask another question, the media reporter waited until his answer was over and rushed forward. Dozens of microphones and recorders were all placed in front of Wayne and the others.

"Good evening Mr. Greenberg, Jack Lance Beals of The New York Times."

A middle-aged man with a New York Times reporter's work permit hanging around his neck couldn't wait to start his own question. "In the past two days, there has been news that in the movie "The Flash", you have changed your previous strong personal style, and the film is more inclined to be entertaining, commercialized, and popcorn. Can you reveal some relevant details of "The Flash"?"

Naomi Watts, who stood beside Wayne, felt his whole body tense instantly, and even the expression on his face became stiff. The reason for being nervous was not that the reporters ignored themselves and only greeted the men around her. She had long been used to it over the years. Anyone who stood beside the man would be covered by his great light in the movie.

The reason she felt nervous was that after "The Flash" was internally previewed by Warner Bros. a few days ago, some very bad remarks appeared in the circle. The main content of these remarks is that the content is oversimplified, entertaining, and young, and it does not look like a Greenber-style work at all.

There are many more ugly words. Even from Warner Bros., there has been a saying in a short time that Wayne Greenberg has finished his talents and will inevitably fall into the trough of his directorial career.

Frowning slightly, Wayne's first feeling was that the woman around him let go of her hand holding her arm and held her hand in secret. He understood what Naomi Watts was worried about, but that he was afraid that he would get angry on this occasion and affect his public image.

He gently pinched the woman's fingers, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. He replied in a surprising way to the reporter who was already waiting at the scene:

"There has never been a so-called Greenber format movie! If so, I personally think that it is also the work given by popular movie fans because of their love. As for "The Flash", I can only say that this will still be a popular movie. If fans feel satisfied after watching it, then this is also a Greenber format work."

Some things do exist objectively. After watching the film "The Flash", Jeff Robinoff and other Warner Bros. senior executives and shareholder representatives have raised some concerns about the market prospects for this movie that has a huge style change.

Especially Bruce Rosenblum, he also dialed the phone to the manor and had a communication with him for more than half an hour.

The director of Warner Bros.'s distribution is very clear. As a current Hollywood front-line director, Wayne has been in his current position in the circle, and the box office of his subsequent works has been guaranteed to be large and small. It can be said that there is no need to change such a big style and shoot this summer commercial special effects film in order to cater to a more popular market.

To be clear, that is, now he should pay attention to maintaining his style, or his style. Only in this way can he maintain high-end evaluations from audiences and professionals, and thus leave his name as a dark film master.

Therefore, even though we knew that the Flash was built earlier, it would be a commercial film with special effects as the selling point. But after seeing the final film, many senior executives of Warner Bros. were still beaten. In the words of Jeff Robinoff, that is, Wayne has completely entered the mainstream market this time.

For other directors, relying on the mainstream market is definitely a good thing, but it is not unfair for Wayne because it is completely unnecessary.

There are enough directors who filmed a highly homogeneous popcorn movie. For Wayne's status today, doing so is tantamount to self-destruction.

"Director Greenberg."

The environment in front of the Temple Theater is very noisy, but the atmosphere in the media interview area is a bit solid. A reporter from the Los Angeles Times obviously understood his good relationship with the other party, so he skipped the topic and asked: "

"There have been news in the circle that your directorial rewards on "Batman: The Dark Knight" involve a large amount of late box office share, and the rewards of a movie are over 100 million US dollars. Can you talk about this?"

In this regard, North America is significantly different from the East. Making money is the best manifestation of a person's ability, and there has never been so-called humility.

On the contrary, being able to make money and making big money has always been a thing worth showing off, and the public is also happy about these things.

"Ha, I can only tell you that the news is well-founded."

Hearing this question, Wayne's expression changed significantly. He shrugged the reporter who asked the question with a smile, spread his hands and raised his eyebrows, and said in a teasing tone: "Maybe, there will be more than the rumor. I will never tell you the specific number, because I am afraid that those "dried lemons" will come to you tonight!"

The reporters at the scene laughed kindly. Everyone knows that high-income people like them, or North American rich people like them, have never been afraid of anything. Even the law is just a tool to protect their interests in their eyes.

The only thing is that the rich people generally have a headache for the IRS. In this country that started with tax resistance, tax payment and death are eternal.

The IRS has always been a violent agency, and its level of violence is even higher than that of the army. "Dry lemon" is to tease those law enforcement officers. It means that even if it is a dry lemon, those people can squeeze out the last drop of juice.

"Wayne, have you ever thought about when to give Little Fendi a complete home?"

The reporters of "Hollywood Daily Entertainment" are not that good at lakes. They hope to attract the public's attention almost every moment. A reporter looked at the dignified Naomi Watts next to the man, his eyes turned and immediately asked loudly:

"In another two years, Fendi Greenberg will be sensible. Have you ever thought about giving her a complete family?"

As soon as this question came out, the reporters on the scene were looking forward to the man opposite, a playboy who was famous in North America. His private life was so chaotic that all men envious and jealous. Everyone wanted to know how this man would face the word "family".

"Little Fendi has a perfect family now!"

Without waiting for Wayne to speak, Naomi Watts, who had been acting dignified and beautiful, played the mascot vase, spoke directly to the dozens of microphones in front of him. "She does not lack maternal love, and the relationship between Fendi and me is very good.

It is even more impossible to lack fatherly love. The intimacy between Wayne and Fendi makes me jealous of being a mother. So, stop asking these boring questions. We two don’t want to overexpose Little Fendi’s situation in the media, and hope to give her a childhood that is not disturbed.”

After saying that, he raised his arm and gently poked Wayne beside him. The two nodded slightly to the reporters in a tacit way, and walked out of the media interview area to leave.

What the Australian actress is talking about is the fact that she and Wayne have discussed it a long time ago, wanting to give her daughter a childhood that is not disturbed by the outside world. This is also the reason why Fendi frequently goes to Greenberg Farm in Ventura County. There, the life of Old Greenberg and Anna is very simple, and can avoid external disturbances to the greatest extent.

Of course, both of them were very interested in their hearts. Born in a family like theirs, Little Fendi could not hide behind the camera forever, it was neither realistic nor practical.

The mother is a well-known actress in Hollywood, and her father is the world's top director. In addition to the identity of a billionaire, Fendi has not only stood at the end of her life as an ordinary person when she was born, but also destined to lose a lot of privacy. Children from such a family are destined to live in the spotlight.

"f**k you! What are you doing?!"

No one expected that when Naomi Watts hugged Wayne's arm and just left the media interview area, a tall and thin young white reporter rushed out and hugged her calves.

With the Australian actress screaming and scolding, the scene was once very chaotic. Dozens of reporters from various media turned around and saw this scene.

But what they saw later made everyone grow their mouths slowly. The moment the young white reporter hugged Naomi Watts's calves, his face flashed with a wretched look, and he wanted to reach out to pull the little dress that was not long.

However, his plan was obviously disappointed. Before several security personnel rushed over, Wayne, who was standing next to the Australian actress, kicked the white reporter away at least two or three meters with a surprised expression. It was not until his thigh was retracted that Wayne realized from the surprise that his next performance was once again beyond everyone's expectations.

He shook Naomi Watts' arm away, and under the stunned gaze of everyone, he came to the white reporter who was covering his stomach and rolling in pain on the ground. Without any hesitation, he raised his dark leather shoes again.

“oh my god!”

"O God, no, Wayne!"

"Hey, hey, Mr. Greenberg, calm down!"

There was a scream at the scene. Naomi Watts covered his mouth and screamed at the man's falling leather shoes. The four security personnel hugged Wayne, who was obviously angry, but at this time, the white reporter lying on the ground was already covered in blood by three or four feet, and his whole body was thrust out of breath.

"Ambulance! Notify the ambulance!"

"Mr. Greenberg, please calm down, he has been punished."

Faced with the chaotic scene, ABC's live broadcast footage was wisely turned to the other side. It can be said that the audience did not notice the chaos at all from the TV.

"It's over, the child's face has been flattened by Wayne's leather shoes!" A reporter onlooker shrugged and said to his companion with gloating: "What did Vitali think? Do you think Wayne is the big star who wants to be shameless?"

"Who knows?"

The reporter carrying the camera curled his lips and looked at the group of men and women walking into the theater under the escort of four staff members, showing the same gloating and excitement.

Obviously, these reporters knew the beaten reporters, and this Vitali Seiduke, who was lying on the ground waiting for an ambulance, has long been a spoof of the Hollywood star.

Today, in the interview area after the awards ceremony, he took advantage of the other party's inattention and suddenly jumped out and kissed Brad Pitt's mouth, and then slapped Pitt. He also touched Helen Hunter's chest, but due to his face in front of the media, the actress just stayed away from the Ukrainian journalist as soon as possible.

Touching Julie Christie's thighs, almost kissing Judy Dench's buttocks, trying to lift Julian Moore's skirt. This guy can be said to have achieved great results tonight.

But all the big stars, especially those who are shameless, frowned and smiled when facing Vitalie Seeduke's frequent pranks of harassment. This is not the first time this reporter has done such a thing publicly. Previously, at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, he was slapped in the face for kissing Will Smith in the mouth.

"Now, Vitali is in trouble!"

A middle-aged photographer in "Premiere" shook his head helplessly at the young white man who was placed on a stretcher.

“What?”

A young female journalist in her early twenties who was standing next to him turned her head incredibly and looked at him and asked, "Isn't it Wayne Greenberg the one who should be worried about? If the police rushed into the award ceremony and arrested Wayne Greenberg, then some people would look at it."

Obviously, the reporters around him hoped that such big news would appear, but most relatively rational people shook their heads silently.

"Don't think this matter is over. Wayne Greenberg is completely different from those female stars who are unwilling to care about it!"

After glanced at the female reporter who was obviously fantasy, the middle-aged man spat a big saliva on the ground, turned his head and seemed to have nothing happened. He carried the camera and pointed it at the red carpet and began to wait for the next guest to the media area.

"Do you want to make a bet? I bet that those police officers will not only not come to arrest Wayne Greenberg, but will also arrest Vitalie Seiduke first for crimes such as molestation and harassment!"

Hearing the middle-aged photographer's joke, the female reporter frowned and did not speak. She was not stupid, and she had already vaguely understood something through the performance of everyone on the scene.

The TV station that was broadcasting live took the initiative to avoid this short farce. Even the movie fans who were a little far away didn't see anything because of the reporters' blocking. What made her feel even more disappointed was the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the New Yorker, the Hollywood Reporter and other most authoritative media reporters in the industry, who were talking about how to delete the unintentional shots as soon as possible!

"The law exists to protect them, Leah, remember what I said." Looking at the female reporter who was still stunned by the side, the middle-aged photographer frowned slightly and whispered. "I'll say it again, Wayne Greenberg is completely different from those female stars, remember."

As a media practitioner, I don’t know which old fry at the scene? Time Warner is like a mountain, or a top three mountain in the world. If the director carrying dark leather shoes on his hands and stepping on others afterwards, he would not have to continue to do it himself. There would be countless people who want to please him and dispose of Vitalie Seiduk’s “nonsense”!

But things are not absolute, they depend on whether there are other large media outlets who use this matter to make a fuss afterwards. And those reporters who have not deleted the photos are just waiting to see if there is a chance to publish the items.
