Seven Hundred and Sixty-One - the Spitting Beggar

"Director Greenberg, can you talk about your relationship with the two ladies around you?"

"Hi, Kate, why are you halfway..."

"..."

They had just walked into the media interview area, and before the three Waynes could hand back the signature pens in their hands to the on-site staff, reporters gathered around them with excitement on their faces.

"Hey, we are just friends. I may disappoint you, but this is the only answer."

No one expected that after Wayne signaled all reporters to keep quiet, he pointed at the reporter who first asked a question.

All the media reporters at the scene had work ID cards, and he could easily see the ID hanging around the other person's neck. This reporter was from the Los Angeles Daily Entertainment newspaper.

"Man, I remember your name. If you scribble it after the Oscars, the consequences will definitely not be pleasant. Do you want to bet a dollar?"

As he said this, he shrugged at the reporters in front of him. Although his tone was full of joking ridicule, the face of the reporter he called did not look very good. Everyone knew that this might not be a shit joke.

"Wayne, what do you think of the upcoming awards ceremony?" A reporter from the New York Times in the front row was smart enough to bring the question back to the topic of the evening. "Uh... I mean, which movie do you think is more likely to be the big winner tonight?"

"Wow, that's a pretty offending question."

Facing the reporter's question, Wayne spread his hands exaggeratedly, pretending to think, pursed his lips with difficulty, and then answered: "At this moment, I think I have to stand with Steven. Well, I'm more optimistic about "Saving Private Ryan."

There was a burst of good-natured laughter at the scene. In fact, many reporters knew that this year's Oscar-winning film "Shakespeare in Love" was rumored to be invested by the dark king of Hollywood. A better proof is undoubtedly Cate Blanchett standing next to him.

As long as the media is relatively well-informed, they can get some inside information. If it weren't for this Hollywood big shot who looks sunny and tough on the surface, Cate Blanchett, a newcomer to Hollywood, might not be qualified to let him know. Harvey Weinstein circled her.

Many people even know very well that the big fat man has enough funds to jump up and down throughout the awards season, and there is a high probability that the person standing behind him is him.

This is interesting, at least the other party's answer just now is very interesting. Wayne told the media that he is more optimistic about "Saving Private Ryan", but what is actually going on is hard to say.

"Hey, Kate, does Wayne's answer make you unhappy?" A reporter suddenly shifted his target to Cate Blanchett.

Cate Blanchett glanced at the man next to her and replied in a joking tone: "Of course, God, I have begun to regret the decision to wait for him to walk down the red carpet together."

"Kate, in various forward-looking Oscar discussions some time ago, your name was mentioned frequently..."

As the most popular candidate for the Best Actress Oscar tonight, reporters will certainly not let her go so easily, and there is not a fool present. Everyone knows very well that the competition between female stars is more likely to make big news.

A reporter from "Entertainment" magazine asked loudly: "How high do you think your winning rate is? Compared with your competitors, what are your advantages?"

"Actually, I don't know myself right now, sorry, I'm very excited right now." Cate Blanchett reached out and patted her chest gently, without any hesitation, and went directly into the performance. "You know, I'm just a newcomer in Hollywood. I'm very satisfied if I can get recognition from the academy..."

Glancing at the "excellent acting" woman next to him, Wayne secretly shook his head. To put it bluntly, this answer is the safest way to respond. None of her competitors were easy to get along with, so it would be best if no one could be offended.

After hastily ending the brief media interview, Wayne waved down the ABC host's question and walked towards Chandler Hall with the two women without looking back.

Just like the questions asked by the reporters just now, they all seemed to revolve around the upcoming awards ceremony, but from time to time, one or two questions would pop up, focusing on the relationship between the three people.

Of course Wayne understands the media's little thoughts, and basically as long as these people don't overly distort and write reports afterwards, he won't even take a second look at them. This is Hollywood. No matter how you use it, on high-profile occasions, you or your work must be high-profile.

When you are a low-key person and your works are low-key, then why do you have to join this high-profile circle?

In fact, from the moment she walked on the red carpet to the end of the interview, Cameron Diaz next to Wayne was fine. After all, she was no longer a newly famous actress.

Whether it was "The Man in Disguise" that became a hit in the past few years, or this year she was dubbed the "Sexy Girl" by all North American movie fans, it has been with her all these years, and she has been ridiculed by the media and the public from time to time for her "sugar" relationship with Wayne. The label "Dad" has made this woman adapt to the spotlight and to being the center of public opinion.

As for Cate Blanchett, she was obviously a little excited. She seemed to really enjoy being the center of the spotlight and enjoying the feeling of being a star.

And she most likely knew very well that her sensationalism on the red carpet today would become the fodder for gossip and tabloids. In fact, no one will take these hypes too seriously, whether it is Wayne who is too lazy to care about it, or North American movie fans who have long been aware of his "playboy" nature.

But as long as it is possible to attract more attention to herself, it is obvious that Cate Blanchett is willing to give it a try.

"If I never see you again, I wish you good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Hahaha..."

Just entering Chandler Hall, Jim Carrey came over in a smart suit. The actor had a heartfelt smile on his face, opened his arms exaggeratedly, and looked at Cameron Diaz. . "Kami, long time no see."

"Hi Kim, long time no see."

Cameron Diaz's face flashed with surprise. After letting go of Wayne's arm, he hugged Jim Carrey gently.

Obviously, when the two of them collaborated on "Monster in Disguise", they were still unknowns. It was the film "Monster in Disguise" that launched both of them on their respective paths to stardom. So, there has always been a pretty good friendship between these two people.

"Good evening, Director Greenberg, good evening, Ms. Blanchett."

After exchanging pleasantries with Cameron Diaz, Jim Carrey looked at the two Waynes behind him and politely extended his right hand to say hello.

"Hi, good evening."

After shaking hands with the other party, Wayne looked carefully at this "comedy genius." "Kim, I watched your "The Truman" this year, and it was so good that it's unbelievable. I'm a fan of yours."

"Thank you, Director Greenberg."

It can be seen that Jim Carrey was a little reserved when facing Wayne and others. But it also fits the rumor that this guy is a natural comedian, but in private he is the complete opposite of who he is in the movie.

"I'll go in first."

Wayne pointed inside and motioned to Cameron Diaz to greet his old friends without accompanying him in.

Not paying attention to the weird looks from around him, not paying attention to the proud look on Cate Blanchett's face, not even paying attention to the surprise on Jim Carrey's face, Cameron Diaz directly kissed Wayne on the face. Said after a while.

"Okay, I'll find you later."

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, he felt all kinds of eyes from around him. The expression on Jim Carrey's face was no longer exaggerated and smart, and he looked at Cameron Diaz with some hesitation.

"Sorry, you know, I didn't mean to interfere with your private life. However, I always thought that you would gradually stay away from this "big boss in the circle". Kami, you have already got what you want, why are you still here?" ..."

"That's the way it is..."

Cameron Diaz didn't escape at all. He turned around and sat down with Jim Carrey in a deserted place. He shrugged and said, "Once you try that sheltered feeling of fascination, it never leaves." In your mind. Kim, Wayne is better than those pot-bellied producers, isn't he?"

No one can deny that there is a "sugar daddy" who is described as a "philanthropist" who helps young women and solves financial difficulties. The title is not good-sounding. However, it is this adjective that everyone knows that does not sound nice, and has prevented Cameron Diaz from countless potential troubles over the years.

No one wants to offend Wayne Greenberg. There is no way to hide secrets in this circle. Many people can easily analyze the fact that Wayne Greenberg is a petty man from his deeds in the past few years.

Therefore, no matter which crew Cameron Diaz goes to or what media program he participates in, he will always receive some invisible care. This invisible shelter brought by unpleasant rumors effectively avoids 90% of the troubles that actresses always encounter.

"Jin, I have summed up a truth in the past few years. For those geniuses who are truly favored by God, ordinary film practitioners are like dust on the ground. Yes, like me, apart from a pleasing figure and face, everything else is Ordinary practitioners who don’t have it.

We can only wait in the corner for the day when the wind he walks over can take us away. Jin, I am quite lucky as a speck of dust, and I am lucky enough to fall on his shoes, so why don’t I follow in his footsteps and walk a little longer? ”

Although these words are very realistic and even cruel, Cameron Diaz also knows in his heart that for people like Jim Carrey, who is also a genius, the other person may not be able to understand what he said.

The sweet smile on her face calmed down, she shrugged helplessly, and deliberately lowered her voice, with a trace of bitterness in her voice, and said again:

"You will definitely not realize that you have worked hard to prepare and struggle for many years, but it is not worth his words, "I think the heroine of this project is suitable for Cameron Diaz"! This world has always been like this, isn't it? ”

"Okay, as long as you are happy."

Jim Carrey didn't continue the topic. The two hadn't seen each other for a while, so it was better to change the topic to something pleasant. "Your performance in "Charlie's Angels" this year was great..."

The two old friends here were chatting and reminiscing. Wayne took Cate Blanchett to the filming location of "Shakespeare in Love" first. After saying a simple hello to everyone, he sat down on Harvey -Weinstein's side.

One thing I have to say is that from the time this big fat man got the money in his own hands to now, all the tricks he has used throughout the awards season have been very effective. Even if I already knew that the guy next to me was a genius in public relations, I was still amazed by this fat man's lack of bottom line.

After searching through Hollywood several times, I really can’t find a few people who dare to risk their lives to attack Steven Spielberg. However, this guy dares to say any ugly thing to the media in order to achieve his own goals. spray.

"We are more than 50% sure of winning the best picture!"

Looking at the celebrities around him, Harvey Weinstein was very proud at this time. He sat on the seat near the main stage and said to Wayne: "Man, you don't know, you want to get that The promise of a group of vampires, what price did it cost me..."

Wayne smiled and shook his head. Although his mood became quite good because of these words, he still interrupted the other party. "Hey, you know, I never care about the process."

"I know, just wait and see the results." Harvey Weinstein didn't care that his words were interrupted.

"Harvey, I suggest that after the Oscars are over, no matter what the result we want..." For the sake of this fat man's dedication, Wayne couldn't help but say a few more words before leaving. "At the Vanity Fair reception after the Oscars, I can act as an intermediary to ease the relationship between you and Steven."

"Let's see, I'm afraid the relationship between us is not that easy to ease."

In a state of great success, Harvey Weinstein obviously didn't take Wein's words seriously. He just wanted the event to start as soon as possible.

Wayne took a deep look at the fat man, stood up and prepared to leave. His seat was not here tonight. The "Flash" crew had been seated further back by the organizer.

"Isn't Spielberg a famous good old guy? Could it be that he will find a way to retaliate against Harvey because of Harvey's smear campaign?"

Unexpectedly, Cate Blanchett did not stay where she was. She took a few steps, took Wayne's arm again, and walked with him to the location of the "Flash" crew.

"It's more scary when a good guy is angry." Wayne said casually.

He knows too well that it would be better if nothing happens. Once Harvey Weinstein has any problems, industry bosses like Steven Spielberg can kick him deeper into the world with just a little stretch of his legs. abyss. Anyone who really takes the title of good old man seriously is truly innocent.

"Aren't you and Spielberg good friends?"

Cate Blanchett rolled her eyes, leaned on his shoulder and suddenly asked: "This good old man must be aware of your investment in "Shakespeare in Love". Do you think he will find a way to target you in the future?" Once?"

"No."

"Why? Just because you are friends?"

"Business has nothing to do with friendship. A millionaire will definitely be afraid of millionaires, but he will not be afraid of a beggar who spits at him!"
