Three Hundred and Seventy Six - Greenbergian Arrogance

The door of the Rolls-Royce Silverthorn was opened from the inside. Nina jumped out of the car neatly, carrying the briefcase that she never left behind, and walked towards the specially reserved employee passage, preparing to enter the Chinese Theater in Hollywood to wait.

The motorcade in front of the film was still heavily congested. After all, "The Matrix" is an original film that is not a sequel or an adaptation. Therefore, in order to make up for the naturally insufficient influence, many celebrities came to the platform today to support the film.

In people's minds, as a film director, Wayne's work and life are very low-key except for the publicity period before and after the film is released. Although there are many good and bad rumors about him, they are definitely not The kind of person who is high-profile.

Therefore, both insiders and popular movie fans have ignored his social circle intentionally or unintentionally. In most people's impression, this young Hollywood tycoon is not an easy-to-reach boss, unless you are a unique person. beauty.

However, on the eve of the release of "The Matrix", Wayne made a few phone calls, and today there was an unexpected luxury guest lineup.

The reason why so many fans came to the scene was that a large part of them came for their idols. Wayne had to lament that the stars in the 1990s were so happy compared with those twenty years later, and their appeal was far greater. Better than his peers twenty years later.

In this era, there is no script, no plan, and no crew. Just relying on the joining of one star can start overseas pre-sales in advance. It is just a routine operation for production companies to recover the investment in advance before the movie is shot.

The car was still moving forward slowly. Naomi Watts was wearing a black evening dress, her hair was tied up high, and her face was painted with exquisite makeup. Her whole person looked radiant, sexy and charming, and it was completely invisible. Like I just gave birth to a baby not long ago.

Her figure has recovered quite well. Her long legs and slim waist are almost the same as a year ago. This is due to her strict body maintenance and healthy and self-disciplined eating habits.

Compared with the sexy and charming Australian actress in Chanel's classic little black dress, Wayne, who was sitting next to her, was just as usual, just wearing a black suit without any logo. He had been dressed in the same steady business style for many years, unconsciously. It makes people ignore his age.

“Who walked down the aisle?”

Wayne crossed his legs and leaned back relaxedly on the large seat, flipping through two newspapers in his hands. Still seven or eight cars away, he suddenly heard a burst of screams from movie fans.

Naomi Watts hadn't been out much for a while. She was lying by the car window, observing who was walking into the theater hand in hand with whom from time to time. When she heard the man's question, she immediately said in a teasing tone:

"It's Christian Bale and Jennifer Connelly, wow! That cousin is holding Chris's arm, the two of them are so close!" At this point, she suddenly turned her head, her eyes full of innocence and provocation. Man flipping through a newspaper.

"Do you think that cousin secretly slept with Chris? Ah ha, our good family man has a little princess but neglected other things..."

"Nami!"

The newspaper was thrown onto the seat. Wayne stretched out a finger and tapped the woman's provocative face. "This is not funny at all! Nami! Even if she has done anything with others, it has nothing to do with me!"

"You are just a petty tyrant, don't think I don't know..." Naomi Watts rolled her eyes without hesitation, muttering in her mouth, not afraid of the man hearing it at all, turned around and continued to lie down Looking at the red carpet from the car window.

No one knows this man better than she does. Her summary of the father of her child is: he is lustful, afraid of death, likes long legs, greedy, shameless, surprisingly thick-skinned, and very petty. For women who maintain relationships, he can Generously give material and opportunities beyond the other party's expectations, but never accept silent betrayal.

He said that he would not interfere in a woman's private life, but in fact, every woman knew in her heart that if she still wanted to maintain a good relationship with him, she must accept his double standards and accept the beast that breaks out from time to time in his heart.

There were cheers from the front. Not long after Christian Bale and Jennifer Connelly passed by, Nicolas Cage took Sofia Coppola onto the red carpet, followed by Brad Pitt, Ethan... Hawke, Jack Nicholson, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson...

The movie fans who came to the scene today are happy. Because of Wayne's relationship and the call of Warner Bros., the stars on the red carpet were dazzled. Finally, the car in front of the Rolls-Royce gave way. At this location, countless reporters clicked the shutter like crazy, and the area around the car was illuminated like daylight.

The moment the car door was opened, countless fans screamed wildly. The enthusiasm was not inferior to that of the big stars who had just passed by, and it was also mixed with organized and orderly shouts.

"Wayne, we're here to support your movie..."

Wayne, who had just gotten out of the car, immediately saw Daisy, who was conducting, and bowed slightly to the smiling fans, causing even louder screams.

He turned around and stretched out a hand to help the Australian actress out of the car, and whispered instructions. "Nami, let's go faster."

"Why?" Naomi Watts held the man's arm, faced the media with an elegant smile, and asked in a low voice: "Oh my god, look, those fans are going crazy for you!"

"Today's protagonists are not us, but Zack Snyder and Li Guohao. There is no need for us to steal the limelight." After Wayne finished speaking, he led her forward in stride, completely ignoring the various comments from media reporters and fans. A cry.

"I understand that we are just standing up for the film and attracting enough attention is enough, right."

The two of them had almost no consciousness of walking on the red carpet. Facing media reporters and enthusiastic fans, they acted as if they hadn't seen it. It only took half the time of other guests to reach the media interview area at the end of the red carpet.

Then they took the signature pen from the etiquette lady together and signed their names.

"...Yes, Zach is a very good director and has perfectly learned many of Wayne's strengths."

Facing a large group of media reporters, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp stood in the interview area and talked. "This film contains thought-provoking philosophical speculation, analysis of human nature, and a strong cyberpunk style. It cleverly integrates kongfu in action scenes, and uses special techniques such as high-speed slow motion. It will definitely bring great excitement to movie fans. An incoherent cinematic feast.”

The reporters did not expect the two Waynes to arrive so quickly. They noticed the two people waiting and involuntarily accelerated the pace of asking questions. A female reporter in professional attire waited for him to finish speaking and then asked questions at a faster pace:

"Director Burton, after the previous test screening of "The Matrix", some people said that the film director Zack Snyder made a mess of the story and the film is full of the atmosphere of a villain. What do you think of this statement?"

"Story? Hey, friend, what I want to tell you is that the screenwriter of the movie "The Matrix" is called Wayne Greenberg! The rigor of the story is the least thing to worry about! He is right behind us, If you have any questions, just ask him directly."

Tim Burton shrugged exaggeratedly, winked, pointed at the waiting Waynes, nodded to them with a smile, and made way for the media interview area.

As soon as the two people in front left, reporters immediately surrounded them. At the same time, microphones and several recorders were placed in front of Wayne and Naomi Watts.

It was the female reporter just now who spoke first. "Mr. Greenberg, Ms. Watts, congratulations on having your own little princess. What do you think of Director Burton's answer just now?"

"Thank you!" Wayne smiled and nodded slightly to the reporter, and then said to a pair of microphone recorders: "I completely agree with Tim's opinion. Questions about the story of "The Matrix" are all the nonsense of amateurs. , one thing Tim said is right, I am the screenwriter of this film, so fans can watch it with confidence!"

"Mr. Greenberg, the production of "The Departed" has been completed. When will the filming of the second Batman movie start?" After he had just finished speaking, another reporter couldn't wait to ask: "Now countless movie fans are I'm looking forward to this, can you give me a specific time..."

Wayne maintained a smile and waved his hand to interrupt the reporter. "Sorry, next question, I won't answer anything that has nothing to do with "The Matrix" today."

"Okay, Wayne, what do you think of The Incredible Hulk premiering next door? Can you talk about it?"

He shook his head slightly and showed a dismissive expression. "It's just a poor imitation. After the large-scale release tomorrow, I believe movie fans will be able to tell the difference between the two."

The first female reporter followed his words and continued to ask: "Can you please make a first-weekend box office prediction for the two films released at the same time?"

At this moment, Wayne was full of arrogance and said without hesitation: "The Matrix will be the box office champion. There is no suspense about it. How could a film that I personally produced and wrote lose to a poor imitation?"

After saying that, I felt that it was almost done. Without waiting for other reporters to continue the interview, I took Naomi Watts' hand and walked towards the Chinese Theater in Hollywood without looking back.

The reporters behind him all looked excited and had no intention of asking any more questions. His answers just now were enough to be tomorrow’s entertainment headlines. They also wanted to know what the neighbors would do in the media if they saw such a provocation. response.

"Dear." Naomi Watts turned her head and glanced behind her to make sure no one else was nearby, then lowered her voice and asked in confusion: "You are not usually an arrogant fool, even your pride is hidden in your heart. ,what is it today?"

"Nami, "The Matrix" needs attention, and half of my investment is in it..."

When the Warner Bros. PR department informed him of this media strategy through Nina, he agreed without hesitation. Otherwise, he and Tim Burton would not have deliberately accepted an interview with the Los Angeles Times yesterday.

As long as it can increase the attention of "The Matrix", Wayne doesn't think there is anything wrong in actively provoking hype. Since Hollywood entered the 1990s, it has long been no longer relying on the quality of its films to attract box office. If a commercial film wants to make a living, No one knows the role of box office success and publicity and hype better than he, a descendant of the future!
