Hollywood Drawing

Spielberg, an old Jewish man, was inexplicably optimistic about it. All the way back from the Four Seasons Hotel to the manor, Wayne was silently thinking about the reason.

This is not the first time that he has taken advantage of being Jewish. There are some things that even people who are not from this group understand. Racial advantages will indeed make this small group of people more or less looked after, making it easier for them to be in this circle. Emerge.

But these are obviously not the reasons why Spielberg, a big boss, would find time to attend the premiere of a junior like him. Wayne has a very clear understanding of his position, and he doesn't have that much face yet.

Thinking that the old man asked him to have time to play golf with him and introduce him to his boss, Wayne suddenly raised his head and asked his assistant. "Nina, I remember saying a few days ago that Jeffrey Katzenberg was having a conflict with Michael Eisner, right?"

The car had already entered the manor, and the assistant was about to remind him to get out of the car. When she heard the boss's confused questions, she was stunned and immediately pulled out her notebook, which recorded the changes of most Hollywood executives. information.

"Yes, but that was a few days ago." Pointing to the newly added record, Nina asked her boss to look at it. "Jimmy got the news from CAA that Disney's tyrant Michael Eisner will soon kick Jeffrey Katzenberg out of the animation studio and out of the Disney Group."

That's right. He nodded after hearing this and walked to the bedroom on the third floor while thinking. Naomi Watts, who was following behind, had a puzzled look on her face, which was unlike Wayne's usual attitude towards her.

Normally, as long as the two of them don't see each other for a long time, the man will always be eager to put himself on the bed, and will talk about everything later. He always behaves like an animal.

"Nina, what happened at the party?" The Australian beauty asked the assistant softly, looking at Wayne's back with a worried look. "I have been socializing in the Australian actor circle and had no idea about his situation."

As he went upstairs, the assistant shook his head. It was the wrong person to ask her about this kind of thing. Even if Nina had seen everything, she would never tell others anything about what happened to her boss. She thought very simply. If Wayne wanted Naomi Watts to know something, he would never tell her using his own words.

The cool evening breeze blew on the balcony, and wisps of green smoke emerged from the large lounge chair. A long white finger suddenly took the cigarette from the man's mouth and stubbed it out directly into the ashtray.

Naomi Watts had just finished taking a shower in the bathroom. She only had a white bath towel on her body and looked down at the man who had been brainstorming. "Honey, I don't mean to interrupt your thinking on purpose, but it's almost one o'clock in the morning. Maybe you can think about some things tomorrow?"

From the angle of Wayne lying down, the Australian beauty's bath towel seemed to be covering up nothing. Her white and glowing skin looked even more alluring.

The straight and slender thighs touched Wayne's aesthetic point even more, making him reach up involuntarily. "Honey, you look stunning today!"

Then, as Naomi Watts exclaimed, he picked her up and turned towards the bedroom. Perhaps because of her years of training as a model, this woman's flexibility has always been outstanding, and even her endurance is far beyond what her figure should allow.

The two are indeed the most tacit partners. Naomi Watts understands the way he likes it. When she deliberately makes a weak expression, it triggers the violence in Wayne's heart.

The storm came and went quickly. After everything subsided, Naomi Watts lay on the man's chest and fell asleep with steady breathing.

Lighting another cigarette gently, Wayne continued what he was thinking about before, mumbling something that only he could hear.

"Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, then David Geffen is still missing? No, they should have been contacted by now. The seventh largest Hollywood actor is coming... …”

1994 is coming soon, and Wayne feels that Spielberg, a good old man, should be planning DreamWorks in advance. The reason why he took care of him must be because of his fellow ethnic group, but there is no guarantee that it was because of his future plans.

This made him sigh involuntarily. “It’s hard to repay favors from big guys in the industry!”

After saying that, he put out the cigarette in his hand, turned off the lamp and fell asleep holding the Australian beauty in his arms.

Time is slowly advancing. After the Oscar ceremony, the media never mentioned the various previous predictions, and began to collectively criticize the rigid thinking of the Academy on a large scale, and began to complain about the films that failed.

This happens every year. No matter whether the final winner is in line with the predictions, as soon as the awards season is over, there will definitely be a sudden wave of voices complaining about the losers.

There are also many media outlets that are complaining about Wayne. They feel that a director who has performed so well in the past two years has not been nominated for Best Director. This is obviously proof that the academy is getting older and the old men are more and more reluctant to give opportunities to young people. .

Amidst all the noise, May has quietly arrived, and the summer battle is about to begin again.

For the internal test screening of "Joker", Warner Bros. invited film critics, representatives from the media and theater alliances that it has always cooperated with, and the film's professional reputation has continued to rise.

Especially the two major local film critics in Los Angeles, Kenneth Turan and Todd McCarthy, who began to spare no effort to praise and praise in their own columns in the "Hollywood Reporter" and "Los Angeles Times" respectively.

Representatives of the North American Theater Alliance subsequently opened more than 3,400 theaters for the May 15th release date of "Joker".

After the time entered May, Warner Bros. suddenly began a large-scale bombing promotion. Different versions of "Joker" trailers appeared on various public television stations and cable television networks.

Its large and small print media have begun to continuously hype the movie gossip, which is bound to make the information about the upcoming release of "Joker" available to the public at any time.

On the third weekend in May, as soon as the theater doors opened in the morning, they were overwhelmed by enthusiastic movie fans. This movie-going craze has caused many unprepared theaters to be caught off guard by various surprises.

Fortunately, movie fans are also entering the screening hall one after another. Although a large number of subsequent movie fans continue to arrive, the theater is finally slowly restoring order.

At the same time, theater companies across the United States were shocked by the sudden abnormal market performance. Today is Friday, and it’s still a working day during the day. Even the film’s premiere is scheduled for tonight and hasn’t started yet.

By noon, almost all theater chain headquarters, large and small, had received requests from subordinate theater managers to change their screening plans, requesting to increase the number of screenings of "Joker" on the first day.

Of course, temporarily increasing the number of shows is not a problem. Theater companies also exist for profit, but if they want more shows, they face an embarrassing problem...

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" He hurriedly opened the car door and walked down. Wayne tilted his head and asked his agent Jimmy who was waiting at the door with an anxious look on his face. "There are a lot of things waiting for me for tonight's premiere. Why does Warner Bros. have to call me here right now?"

Not caring about answering the questions on his client's face, Jimmy pulled him and wanted to run into the building. This was very painful for the assistant in high heels, who staggered along with a briefcase in his arms.

Waiting until he entered the elevator, Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "It exploded, Wayne! It exploded!"

"What?"

"Don't you watch the news?" The agent still looked anxious, staring at the constantly beating numbers in the elevator. "Many media have reported that as soon as the theater opened this morning, fans of "Joker" lined up in the theater..."

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door just opened, and the agent grabbed his client and pulled him straight to the president's office.

"Hey, hey! Jimmy!" Wayne was obviously a little impatient. He started busy this morning, preparing for tonight's huge premiere, but he was called here by an urgent call from his agent. He still couldn't say anything. Not sure.

"There's a queue for our videos. Isn't that a good thing? Damn it, I'm so busy that I don't have time to watch the news!"

Before the agent could answer, he was pulled in by John who was waiting at the door of the office. In the room, Kevin Tetsuhara was yelling on the phone. "...I don't care if you work overtime or whatever, even if you give workers a raise! You still have to develop those damn copies!"

After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone with a bang. After seeing Wayne come in, he was about to speak when he was interrupted by another ringing of the phone.

While answering the phone, Kevin Tetsuhara looked at him apologetically and pointed to the sofa in the lounge area.

"Yes, I have asked the printing factory to work overtime to speed up production. The copies will be sent to your theaters tomorrow. Okay, okay, no problem..."

Also sitting in the rest area were film and television production supervisor Jeff Robinoff, distribution department director Thomas Mendez, and their secretaries. Jeff explained in a low voice once Wayne sat down.

""Joker" had a huge outburst at the beginning of this morning, completely ignoring the rules of whether it is a Friday or a working day. We and the theaters have underestimated the influence of the Super Bowl, Wayne! Everyone..."

Before he finished speaking, CEO Kevin Tetsuhara, who had a surprised look on his face, came over and patted Wayne on the shoulder hard. A smile spread across his thin face, and then Jeff said:

"Every theater company has called us, asking for more film copies. But our publicity and distribution department has not prepared so much, including managers from various theater companies such as AMG, Imperial Cinemas, American Artists, etc. , so he called my office!"

Wayne himself didn't expect this kind of thing, so he asked subconsciously. "Didn't we print 4,800 copies in advance? Not enough?"

"not enough!"
