Five Hundred and Ten-Red Carpet
Contrary to Nicole Kidman's attitude, after getting off the Rolls-Royce and returning to his car, Tom Cruise had an obvious look of thinking on his face. Obviously, subverting the image is a crooked way. It doesn't suit him, but Tom is not stupid.
It is precisely because of his good and positive big screen image that subversion will be more unexpected and the effect will be better. This is the core point of Wayne's crooked idea.
Until he was about to walk on the red carpet, Tom Cruise was still mumbling under his breath. "If you are looking for a top partner, on the premise of ensuring the success rate, it is not impossible to consider..."
The motorcade passed by the red carpet one after another. Almost every celebrity, big or small, received cheers and screams after they walked on the red carpet. Thousands of people were crowded in front of the splendid Los Angeles Temple Theater. , the flashing lights in the media area directly turned the darkened sky as white as day.
Facing the red carpet that was getting closer and closer, Wayne adjusted his suit and tie again. Naomi Watts also put on the Hentian Gao on her feet. It can be clearly seen that her mood is very high. Excited, whenever an actress walks on the red carpet, she will have a look of envy on her face. Soon, the protagonist of this red carpet will be herself.
"Wayne, Nicole just told me." Ready to get out of the car at any time, Naomi Watts talked about the gossip she had just heard to relieve her tension. "Barbra Streisand was not nominated for any award by the Academy for her film "Two-Way Mirror" and publicly refused to attend this Oscar ceremony before the award ceremony. Do you think this will cause the same explosion as your refusal to attend the Golden Globe Awards? Effect?"
Hollywood legend Barbra Streisand refuses to attend the Oscars? This gossip obviously made Wayne stunned for a moment, but he soon couldn't help but laugh inexplicably. If no big surprise happened, the old men in the college would be criticized by the media and the public again.
"I find it difficult."
Looking at the scene in front of him again, Wayne shook his head and joked: "The Academy Awards are different from the Golden Globe Awards. At most, they will be criticized by some media and will not cause much trouble."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips in the direction of the red carpet. "Now, it is Madonna's choice that has been the focus of media reports in recent times."
There was no need to wait for the awards ceremony to start. Everyone knew that "Evita" would definitely not be nominated for the award. However, this big lady in the entertainment industry still dressed up and walked on the red carpet, and the sharp points on both sides seemed to burst the eardrums. The screams and the blinding flashes all proved the influence of this actress. Although the film may not be eligible for awards, she is still one of the focuses of the party.
"Get ready, we'll be here soon." Wayne whispered as the car moved forward slowly.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly parked in front of the red carpet without even waiting for the door to open. The screams at the scene were already deafening. This car is so recognizable. Wayne Greenberg loves Rolls-Royce. , this has become one of his business cards. From the early Rolls-Royce Silver Spur to the current Phantom, it is the only one in Hollywood and even North America.
After the car door was opened, Wayne, who was wearing a black fitted suit, stepped out of the car first. As most people imagined, he reached out his hand and turned around to help Naomi Watts down. The Australian actress held his arm and the two walked onto the red carpet with smiles on their faces.
"Wayne! Wayne!..I love you, look over here!"
"Hi, Wayne."
"Wayne, we're here to support you!"
Suddenly, amidst the huge screams, there was a burst of neat harmony, which attracted everyone's attention, and also attracted the attention of the two people on the red carpet.
I saw Daisy standing in the center of the crowd, waving her hands constantly, like a music conductor, leading the dozens of fans behind her to give out uniform shouts again and again.
Waving in the direction of Daisy, Wayne showed no intention of slowing down. Naomi Watts, who reluctantly followed beside him, kept her elegant smile facing the media and asked in a low voice: " Why don't you go over and sign a few names, these are definitely your most die-hard supporters."
"Forget it, let Nina give you more things later."
As long as he thinks of the chaos that happened at the premiere of "Joker" that year, he still has some lingering fears. There are too many lunatics in this country. Who knows if they will appear among those movie fans? Even if they were all his fans, he would not choose to provoke those young people who fell into fanaticism.
I am no longer the little person I was when I first debuted, and I no longer have to personally manage my image among fans. If I want to achieve the same effect, there are many different ways to achieve it.
For this grand event, the college spent a lot of money this time. Just the red carpet of more than 200 feet underfoot definitely cost a lot of money. In addition, Wayne also observed that many celebrities were present. Almost all Hollywood celebrities who could be named were picked up by the academy.
When passing by dozens of die-hard movie fans holding high posters of "The Departed", the two people showed no signs of stopping. Various shooting requests from photographers and reporters in the media area were simply ignored. Oscars are worth a lot of money. The red carpet has obviously lost most of its meaning to Wayne.
"Damn it, can't you walk slower?"
Seeing that she was about to reach the media area at the end of the red carpet, Naomi Watts finally couldn't help it anymore and said helplessly in a low voice: "I have prepared for this red carpet for a whole day. I don't understand you. All my makeup, custom-made gown and hair style were wasted when the sexy guy came up with me, damn it!”
"Hey, it's not a waste, Nami."
Wayne ignored her protest and continued to maintain his original speed. "Even if it's a waste, you have no chance of winning the Best Actress statuette anyway, right?" "Shit!" Naomi Watts was choked and almost broke her guard, and the elegant smile on her face suddenly froze. For a moment, he returned to his original state with strong control. "Want me to thank you for the blow, Honey?"
Seeing that the red carpet had come to an end, Wayne replied hastily. "Don't worry, you will have your own statuette, I promise!"
It was a little different from what was expected. The crew of "Fargo" who walked on the red carpet in front were still being interviewed. The entire interview area was bustling with people. Dozens of reporters surrounded the crew and kept asking questions loudly.
After waiting for a few seconds, the two Waynes took the pen handed by the staff and signed their names first. When they looked back, even though it was their first official meeting with the Coen brothers, the two brothers were still friendly with him. He nodded and led the crew towards the Temple Theater.
The host of the ABC TV station who was conducting a live broadcast was the first to run up to the two of them and asked in a hurried tone: "Director Greenberg, as we all know, "The Departed" is the biggest favorite for this Academy Awards. What do you think? How many statuettes can I get for my works?"
Naomi Watts reached out from behind and pinched Wayne gently, reminding him that the live camera was now facing the two of them. Apparently she was a little worried. He first smiled at the live camera, then shrugged and said, He replied in a joking tone: "Hey, I have a standard answer to this question. Of course I hope it will be nine nominations and nine statuettes. However, it all depends on the wishes of the academy members."
"Wayne, Wayne." Before the host could continue to ask questions, he was crowded behind by impatient reporters. A Mexican reporter with a "Premiere" work permit asked loudly: "We noticed that every time you You will only bring Ms. Watts to formal occasions, and Ms. Watts also gave birth to a little princess for you. May I ask, have you ever considered giving her a sweet wedding?"
As soon as his question came out, Wayne's brows frowned unconsciously. Before he could think of how to answer, the Australian actress, who had been smiling like a mascot, took the question without hesitation and said: " God, why doesn’t anyone come and ask my opinion? Does everyone think I want to marry him?”
Everyone was amused by Naomi Watts' pretended surprised expression, and the awkward atmosphere that had just appeared was broken at the same time. Raising her eyebrows at the reporters, the Australian actress continued:
"Our relationship is more like life partners, or more like good friends. I know that he is not suitable for me, and he also knows that although we have a child unexpectedly, it does not mean that I have to marry. Give it to him, right? So, I still have the chance to pursue a better man."
When she finished speaking, she deliberately showed her playful smile again and winked at Wayne on purpose, making some reporters at the scene laugh again.
"Wayne, how is the post-production work of "The Dark Knight" going? Can the movie be released as scheduled?"
After finally waiting for a more normal question, it happened to be that the question had nothing to do with "The Departed". Wayne shook his head helplessly, and after a few perfunctory words to the reporters, he looked at Naomi Watts with his head turned. Walked towards the theater without looking back.
His departure did not reduce the reporters' enthusiasm for gossip, because the person who walked onto the red carpet later was none other than North America's new "Batman" Christian Bale in the past two years. You can guess it from the excited and expectant eyes of the reporters at the scene. , they will never let go of this hot star easily.
"Everything is ready inside." The two Waynes had just walked into the door of the Temple Theater. Nina and Jimmy, who were waiting, came up to them. The assistant lady reported in a low voice: "Ruben and Anna, and your teacher Anderson." -Professor Horowitz has already made arrangements, and the communication with the organizer was extremely smooth, that is..."
"What? Just say it."
While walking in and listening to Nina's low-pitched report, nodding and greeting each other with different celebrities, Wayne observed the surroundings without leaving a trace. Countless celebrities had gathered in the hall. This event was called A major exhibition of top celebrities in North America, not only from the film and television and music circles, but also stars from the sports circle were present. The so-called indifference between culture and sports was vividly demonstrated.
After hesitating for a moment, Nina said: "Shea, the president of New Line Cinema, just went to say hello to your father, but was driven away by your mother Anna. Anna asked me not to tell you this..."
