Hollywood Drawing

"It's something I need to think about, Harvey."

Wayne's hand holding the cigarette gently scratched the stubble on his chin. He thought for a while, but this time he didn't finish his sentence completely. In any case, this matter cannot be discussed clearly in a few words, and this environment is not suitable.

"ok!"

The fat man stood up happily and shook hands with him again. "If you have time, you are welcome to come to Miramax. Quentin likes your production style very much. When he heard about my coming, he asked me to help invite you to the premiere of "Pulp Fiction"."

"No problem, ask him to send me an invitation later, and I will definitely come to support you!"

Wayne also happily agreed. Of course, the premise of all this is future cooperation. If the agreement is reached, we can naturally support each other. If the agreement is not reached, there is no need for it.

After Harvey Weinstein said these words, he turned and left the rest area. However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he walked to the theater on the first floor and waited for the screening of "The Return of the Clown" to begin.

He wanted to see what kind of film this was. As a producer who had wanted to cooperate with the other party several times but never made it, Harvey Weinstein always felt that he was underestimating the other party's ability.

Especially the "Joker" that took the world by storm last year. This movie made Wayne Greenberg a god. He was directly transformed from a genre film director who is good at using small things to make big things, and turned into the most special commercial film director in the industry. .

There are many similarities with Quentin Tarantino's filmmaking style, or rather, they are quite similar in some places. But Harvey Weinstein always felt that Quentin was like Wayne before "Joker", and there was something special about the two people that was very different.

In particular, Quentin's use of violent scenes is much more extensive than in Wayne's films.

The most important thing is that most of Quentin's film structures are wild and unruly chapters, while Wayne Greenberg tends to multi-line narratives. These are two essential differences.

It can be easily seen from here that Wayne's habits still belong to the rigorous and orthodox academic school, but everyone is attracted by his strong personal style and are never willing to classify him into the academic school.

If you only look at Wayne Greenberg's films, the core is always a protagonist or story that is both good and evil, analyzing human nature and social issues thoroughly and distortedly. It has a serious tendency towards violence but does not abuse it. However, when used, it is like a rushing river, which can release the audience's emotions in an instant.

Quentin Tarantino is a little different. His films tend to be more violent. It can also be said that the aesthetics of violence permeate the entire story, as if it makes you happy all the time and allows you to release your emotions at any time.

Harvey Weinstein doesn't expect much. He only hopes that Quentin, a director who is somewhat similar to Weinstein, can achieve half of his commercial performance, and then he will be very satisfied.

"I went to ask just now. The invitation that the fat man got on the spur of the moment was not sent to him by Warner Brothers." Nina went for a walk and reported to her boss in a low voice when she came back.

Wayne nodded, but didn't take it to heart. "Don't worry about him. This person is an extremely shrewd character, and his face is definitely thick enough. Otherwise, he would not have become such a successful producer."

The other party can make Miramax's business prosperous, and it relies on various independent films and genre films. This kind of low-cost film is the most test of vision and management ability. Unlike big investment and big production, it is the success rate of Hollywood. The highest project.

Except for the outsider Harvey Weinstein, no one else took the stage today, which made the premiere a stage for movie fans. Except for the media area, almost all the people sitting in the back of the theater were fans.

"Wayne."

"Mr. Greenberg!"

Under the leadership of the eldest sister Drew Barrymore, a group of young actors who had just attended the press conference returned to the lounge on the second floor. They were not old enough to watch movies, so they could only come if their parents did not follow them. Say hello and prepare to leave.

Wayne stood up and walked over to several young actors, patted them on the shoulders one by one, and said: "Go back and rest early. Tomorrow morning you will start promoting all over the United States. Believe me, this is definitely not an easy job, especially For you kids.”

"You're not with us?" Drew Barrymore asked in surprise. Normally, whether as a film director or a project producer, he should lead the team to promote the film.

"No." Wayne shook his head. "I still have a lot of work to spare. Another crew will have problems for me to solve at any time. I will stay in Los Angeles."

Several children exchanged polite greetings for a while, and then left under the leadership of Drew Barrymore. The girls' complaints could still be heard faintly. "Damn it, why are we not allowed to watch the movies we star in..."

Compared with Li Guohao, they really can't watch the movie in which they star, and they can't even participate in the curtain call after the movie. This is really unfriendly to an actor.

This premiere has less fuss, even the press conference is held before the film is screened, and there is no party and reception after the film is screened. From this point of view, this is really a simple premiere.

Just when Wayne and others returned to the screening room and sat in the front row waiting for the film to start, an uninvited guest silently walked into the fans. Warner Bros. indeed did not invite film critics because they had already done public relations before.

But I can't stand people who have seen it before, so I want to watch it again, like Todd McCarthy sitting among the fans.

He can be regarded as one of Wayne's die-hard supporters. He appreciates this kind of black film very much and will not give up the opportunity to watch it again. This also helps to publish film reviews in his column.

Although the tastes of film critics are always at odds with the tastes of movie fans, and they always talk about art and the like, Todd McCarthy understands that this is the rule of the industry, and it is just to highlight the elegance of his group of people's appreciation level.

However, film critics are also a type of movie fans, and none of them are idiots who can become famous. They also work in the production industry to suck blood, but they will always understand the needs of the public movie fans. If you really think you are superior to others and break away from the base of popular movie fans, you will only be abandoned by the popular movie fans.

Without the base of mass movie fans, production companies will no longer publicize people like them. Without influence, film critics, no matter how elegant and artistic they are, will starve to death.

"We have been waiting for this movie for so long. It is really not easy."

Todd McCarthy suddenly heard chatter in the front row. The speaker was a young man, and his two friends were both girls.

At this time, one of the Latina girls gave the boy a thumbs up. "Jesse, you are so awesome, you can even get movie tickets for the premiere!"

"Emma, ​​this is not my fault. My father got it. He also asked someone to get it from the staff of Warner Bros. Their company's main products are Warner Bros. movie peripherals."

The man named Jesse is a white boy. According to Todd McCarthy's observation, they should all be college students and about 20 years old.

"Yeah." At this time, another white girl said: "After waiting for several months, Wayne's new movie is finally here. I thought I would see it in May. Jesse, can you please let your dad go back? Help me get two autographs of Wayne Greenberg, he is so handsome, I heard he was the quarterback of the school team when he was in school..."

The lights in the theater began to go out one by one, and the people chatting in front also lowered their voices. In the entire theater with hundreds of people, the various chaotic sounds gradually became quieter.

Most of the fans who came here to attend the premiere were fans of Wayne's movies or lovers of horror films. Everyone consciously stopped doing their chores and focused on the lit curtain.

"You actually have die-hard fans and followers. Wayne, I really can't see through you as an alternative director..."

Withdrawing his attention from a few young people, Todd McCarthy also set his sights on the big screen, but he still noticed that Wayne has many die-hard movie fans, and they are the main group of movie consumers, young people!

This is a bit unreasonable. Directors work behind the scenes anyway. Some directors who have die-hard movie fans have accumulated more than ten or twenty years of experience. Most of their fans are middle-aged and elderly people of similar age.

In fact, this famous film critic will not be surprised by all this in another ten years. By then, directors will basically come from behind the scenes to the stage, and everyone will have more or less support groups. .

Fans of directors are different from celebrities. They don't ask their favorite directors to be handsome, have good character, or have moral issues. They only ask their favorite directors to make good-looking movies.

Compared with those celebrity fan groups, this kind of fan supporters are more loyal.

The Warner Bros. logo began to appear on the big screen, and Bella Grant hurried to her seat. When she sat down and looked at the big screen, she happened to catch the beginning of the film.

The words "Wayne Greenberg!"

The film officially begins. The story takes place in a small town called Deli. The young male protagonist Bill and his younger brother appear on the screen. He folded a paper boat for his younger brother. The younger brother happily took the paper boat and ran out happily. play.

It was raining heavily outside, and the paper boat floated forward along with the rain, and the little boy quickly chased after it.

The camera follows the paper boat as it floats into the sewer. When the little boy bent down and was about to pick up the paper boat, who would have thought that suddenly a clown stood at the entrance of the sewer.

The little boy was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. The clown just looked at him with a smile and actually started talking to him. The little boy innocently reached into the sewer to get the paper boat.

Suddenly, numerous fangs as ferocious as straw emerged from the clown's mouth, biting off the little boy's arm in one bite, and then violently dragged him into the sewer!

"ah!!!"

"Oh God!"

"fxxk!"

The audience in the theater was watching intently, and suddenly they were so frightened that they screamed. Everyone was frightened by this shot. This shot is different from American horror movies, and has a bit of a combination of Eastern and Western meanings.

The scary thing about American horror movies is plasma, a lot of plasma, while the scary thing about Eastern horror movies is the atmosphere and suddenness.

It can be said that it was the first time for the audience to see such a shot. This bloody shot that suddenly appeared gave everyone a surprise, a completely unprepared surprise!
