Seven Hundred and Forty-One - Specifications
Hollywood Drawing Los Angeles 1990741-Specification "In Hollywood, actresses around thirty years old are very embarrassed. If you are a little younger, you can still play an eighteen-year-old high school student with exquisite makeup. But here There's no way you can climb into Wayne Greenberg's bed and take this shortcut to success.
——
ps, unless you can do the same as Naomi Watts and find a way to have a child for him."
Looking at the gossip tabloid in her hand with amusement, even though it was being consumed by the media, and the name used to attract attention was her own, Naomi Watts did not have the slightest idea of being angry with her superiors.
She is no longer the young Australian girl who lives in a low-cost apartment and is full of yearning for Hollywood, Beverly mansion and the Walk of Fame.
Nearly ten years have passed, and Australian girls understand better than anyone else that celebrities in the industry, especially female celebrities, have never been afraid of the hype from various entertainment media, only afraid of being ignored.
She raised her wrist and glanced at the time. It was still a while before seven o'clock in the evening. Then she tilted her head and glanced out of the car window. Her eyes fell on the various newspapers beside her again, and she began to kill time before the premiere. She was extremely bored. waiting time.
"A few days ago, the distribution department of Warner Bros. released the latest stills from the movie "King Kong". We can see that Naomi Watts is still stunningly beautiful, especially against the backdrop of the huge orangutan.
As for the starring Naomi Watts, I believe no one will doubt her performance. Ever since she entered the attention of mainstream movie fans in 1990 when she starred in Wayne Greenberg's "Happy Death Day," her acting skills have never been criticized.
But so far, the "King Kong" project has been filming for some time, and many people still can't understand why Wayne and Warner Bros. chose Roland Emmerich to direct this hugely invested science fiction film.
The ending of the movie "Godzilla" is still fresh in our minds, but the project "King Kong" is broadly speaking the same type as the former. No one knows whether Roland Emmerich will follow his own path and take Wayne's -Greenberg and Warner Bros. lost more than $100 million."
Frowning slightly, Naomi Watts threw away the "Hollywood Daily Entertainment" in her hand, looked out the car window at the lively scene, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Similar arguments have been making a lot of noise in the media in recent days, and have almost become the main topic in the entertainment media.
Of course, she knows better than anyone else that Warner Brothers must be contributing to this. In order to bring this hugely invested film into the public eye as early as possible, any information related to the film will definitely be speculated again and again as long as it is popular.
I'm afraid Warner Bros.'s publicity department has already communicated with director Roland Emmerich early on.
As a heroine who has to meet with the director every day, Naomi Watts knows very well that the actual hype in the media is all nonsense. Although it was her first time working with him, it was not difficult to conclude from her observation that Roland Emmerich was definitely one of the best directors in the entire circle.
However, no matter how large the investment in "King Kong" is, even if it has been remade several times over the past few decades, it still cannot be compared with the DC series in terms of influence.
Therefore, it is reasonable that Warner Bros. will use all means to hype the film and gradually increase the popularity of the film before it is finished filming.
Just like tonight's premiere of "Shakespeare in Love", from a personal standpoint, she would never come. Even if coming would attract enough media attention, she would not come. Take advantage of this heat.
But in order to keep "King Kong" topical, at the suggestion of Warner Brothers, she put on the latest season's Chanel little black dress, put on the most exquisite makeup, got in the car and rushed to the Beverly Kodak Theater.
However, Wayne and his party, who originally promised to come back and take her to the premiere, were temporarily pulled away by Zack Snyder before they got into the car, and there was a high probability that they would not be able to make it to the red carpet together.
Shaking her head helplessly, Naomi Watts opened her handbag, took out the small mirror she carried with her, and checked her makeup again. Seeing that he couldn't be scheduled for a while, he simply picked up the entertainment newspaper next to him and killed the waiting time.
The sound of flipping newspapers suddenly stopped, and she looked at the "Movie" magazine in front of her with interest.
"The capital structure of Hollywood is undergoing tremendous changes!"
For such an eye-catching huge title, the magazine cover did not have the label logos of major Hollywood film companies. Instead, it directly placed a photo of Wayne holding a director's viewfinder. The combination of these two is hard not to arouse the interest of Australian actresses.
"Before Wayne Greenberg appeared, what was the structure of the major Hollywood studios like? In the past few years from 1985 to 1990, among the six major Hollywood studios, the one with the most gratifying revenue was Paramount Pictures.
Followed closely by Walt Disney, the parent company of Buena Vista Pictures, followed by Fox and Universal Pictures. If Warner Bros. hadn't invited Tim Burton to create the Batman series around 1989, I'm afraid Warner Bros.'s revenue figures would be much uglier.
At that time, practitioners in the Hollywood circle commented on Warner Bros. that the film industry giant had a deep accumulation but was not moving in the right direction. Even in some embarrassing years, even United Artists, which has been in decline for many years, can compete with Warner Brothers in terms of revenue.
Looking at these past events ten years ago now, countless people will definitely not believe it. The turning point that allowed Warner Brothers to unknowingly undergo transformation and occupy the top position in Hollywood revenue all year round. Today we observe it from God’s perspective. It's the addition of Wayne Greenberg.
Many people have heard rumors that "the person who really decided to be the CEO of Warner Bros. was Wayne Greenberg." This ridiculous rumor happened to come from within Warner Bros.
Don’t be surprised. If you take a closer look at how much influence this young man has on Warner Bros., you will know why Jeff Robinov, the current CEO of Warner Bros., has never stood up to refute this rumor.
Let's turn the time back to 1991. Wayne Greenberg, who had just graduated from college, successfully produced "Happy Death Day" with the investment he obtained from his father. After becoming a blockbuster in Hollywood, he uncharacteristically left 20th Century Fox, which gave him a chance, and turned to join Warner Bros., who was willing to give him more freedom.
The success of "Happy Death Day" has made him a much-anticipated "star" in the industry. He has just gone through four years of college that was not understood, and his directorial style is constantly taking shape.
After the unexpected and huge success of "Happy Death Day", Wayne Greenberg originally planned to continue to cooperate with 20th Century Fox, but the Fox executives at the time obviously did not trust this "shit luck" Successful young man.
So, less than a year later in 1992, this young man brought his new work "Escape" to smash all doubts in one fell swoop. After the movie was released, no media said that Warner Bros. was crazy. Everyone saw the strong personal style and story charm of this young man's works.
Over the years, Wayne Greenberg has said those profound words more than once in interviews with the media. ""Get Out" will be this weekend's box office champion!" ""Joker" will be this weekend's box office champion!" ""Joker" will be this weekend's box office champion!"
Saying this from a novice director who has just entered Hollywood is no different from bragging. At the beginning, there was no media that was really optimistic about Wayne Greenberg and his rich dark style. In that era when big stars dominated the market, no one believed that he could continue to succeed, including Warner Brothers, who gave him heavy investment and a lot of creative freedom.
Warner Bros. executives said, "We hope he can make films that meet the public's aesthetics, but he has always been obsessed with cruel, bloody and dark R-rated films!"
The film critic group said, "Wayne Greenberg needs to realize that relying on large-scale lenses to attract attention is always not a good choice."
Even the then CEO of Warner Bros., Kevin Tetsuhara, said privately, “I really can’t believe that there really is someone who can change the public’s perception of movies with his strong personal style. director."
But Wayne Greenberg is not destined to be an ordinary director. It only took him a few years to make his works the most important revenue component of Warner Bros., becoming the most popular in Hollywood, but there is no way to imitate it. great director.
Even "Vanity Fair" couldn't wait to conduct an exclusive interview with him, and even commented that a top powerful man in Hollywood is rising rapidly.
Former Academy President Franco Pearson said in an interview with us, "Whenever Wayne's new movie comes out, I can't buy movie tickets at the theater near my home. Even if I were the Academy President, no one would I am willing to give up my movie ticket quota to this old man like me."
Warner Bros. suddenly welcomed a big name who changed the rules of movies, which united the entire Warner Bros. The executives of this established film industry giant are very proud, and it is difficult for them to unite willingly to cooperate with a small film director.
But Warner Bros. executives and shareholder groups are all hoping that someone will emerge to change the decline of this old film company and allow this film giant to find its direction again. It was at this time that Wayne Greenberg appeared. After discovering his talent, the entire Warner Bros. was as excited as if he had taken cocaine.
It can be said that Wayne Greenberg saved Warner Bros. and awakened the memory of the film industry giant's glory years ago. As countless media outlets have reported, the summer of 1993 is destined to go down in film history because it was the summer that Wayne Greenberg ushered in the superhero era.
Also starting from this year, Warner Bros., under the influence of Wayne Greenberg, not only began to produce DC comic book adaptation movies on a large scale, but also began to continuously produce its own sequel series with an eye-catching success rate.
Nowadays, cooperation with Wayne's film studios has been launched on a large scale, and more surprising films are still being produced.
Some people say that until now, at least one-third to half of Warner Bros.'s main revenue is still generated by cooperation with Wayne Greenberg. According to the data we have collected, even if this number is exaggerated, it is definitely not too outrageous.
So, to a certain extent, the biggest success factor for Warner Bros. to become Hollywood's No. 1 movie studio by revenue is Wayne Greenberg."
A whole report carefully analyzed the changes that Wayne brought to Warner Bros., and Naomi Watts read it with gusto. Of course she knew that many things in this place were beautified, but she still felt an unbearable pride rising from her heart.
If you want to find the most suitable person to witness Wayne's rapid rise over the years, then there is no doubt that it is her.
To this day, she can still recall the scene when they first met and visited the Avenue of Stars together. At that time, both of them were still insignificant people, and their greatest ideal was just to leave their names among the stars on the Avenue of Stars.
If you continue to expand your imagination, you just want to own a mansion of your own in Beverly Hills.
"Ms. Watts, you'll be here soon."
Just as she was immersed in memories, the limousine driver's prompt brought her back to reality again.
"ok."
After checking her whole body one last time before getting out of the car, Naomi Watts gracefully carried her handbag and stepped onto the red carpet.
Contrary to what she had imagined, today's premiere was not that grand. There were as many reporters in the media area as ever, but the group of fans on the other side of the red carpet seemed a little sparse.
The interview session that followed did not surprise her. Most of the reporters present were not very interested in the upcoming premiere of "Shakespeare in Love." Instead, they focused more on her relationship with That "best friend Cate Blanchett" has a complicated relationship with Wayne.
She had already made enough preparations for these seemingly tricky questions. Anyway, no matter who asked, they always insisted that their relationship was just friends. Reporters are not stupid either. They would rather turn around and attack Cate Blanchett than embarrass her too much.
Fortunately, this was the premiere of "Shakespeare in Love", and there was not much interview time left for the guests on the stage. After promoting "King Kong" at the end, Naomi Watts walked towards the theater door generously. go.
"Thank you for coming, Nami."
As soon as he entered the door, a tall and fat figure greeted him enthusiastically.
"Good evening, Harvey." Naomi Watts shook the other person's hand lightly, glanced at the crew and creators standing not far away, and said with a smile: "I wish you a great box office success in advance. .”
"Of course, there's more than just Miramax investment in this."
Harvey Weinstein, who has always been domineering, not only has a decent smile on his face, but also seems to be very pleasant in his words.
"I'm not the only producer of 'Shakespeare in Love'. Wayne's name is on the title of the movie. Ha, the whole of Hollywood knows that Greenberg's production has never failed so far."
The two exchanged some rough greetings, and Naomi Watts acted very calmly. Even after being introduced by the other party, when greeting the creative team, she was as enthusiastic as ever towards Cate Blanchett.
"Let's go, I'll go in with you for a walk."
Immediately afterwards, Harvey Weinstein’s actions surprised everyone at the scene. Everyone knew what kind of character this big fat man was, but they never expected that he would personally accompany Naomi Watts, something that even Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did not get. treatment.
Naomi Watts was also stunned after hearing this, and subconsciously said to Reject: "Harvey, you are the host tonight, just be busy, I can do it myself."
"Hey, Nami, you are the most important guest tonight. Since you are already here, who else should I greet if I continue to stay here?" With an exaggerated shrug, Harvey Weinstein stretched out his hand and made an invitation. posture.
"All right."
After muttering softly, Naomi Watts followed the big fat man and walked towards the VIP lounge area.
At the same time, she suddenly remembered what Wayne said to her before getting into the car. "I know you hate that fat man, don't worry Nami, just go and be fine. Just wait and see, Harvey Weinstein's reception of you will be the best in the industry. Before the movie is officially released, we will Will rush over."
Under Harvey Weinstein's enthusiastic introduction, Naomi Watts continued to greet and chat with various guests, as if everyone respected her.
But her mind was very clear, and she did not think that she was worthy of this standard at all. The person who deserved the top reception standard in the industry was not herself, but the man standing behind her.
The producers and studio executives who keep nodding to themselves and expressing respect are also respecting the man behind them.
