Hollywood Drawing

The crew finished filming the day before New Year's Eve, leaving everyone in a happy mood. Wayne had dinner, changed into fresh clothes, and walked into the bar.

He didn't disturb anyone, just as usual, he hid in the corner of the bar, asked the bartender for a large glass of beer, and drank slowly while thinking about things.

"Hi, Wayne. Why do you always drink alone, or do you just like to secretly observe everyone in the bar?"

Naomi sat down next to him easily and touched the bottle with him. Wayne took a big sip of beer and glanced in the direction Naomi came from. Lily was drinking with Rose, and several people were shouting from time to time.

"No, I'm not used to that kind of atmosphere. What about you, why don't you play with them?"

Naomi tilted her head at the carnival crowd and watched Lily holding a large bottle of liquor and pouring it down her throat. The people next to her were cheering loudly. She looked at Lily with a tangled expression and said :

"Oh my God, does she lose her figure when she drinks like that? I really can't adapt to their way of playing."

"Yes, Lily is a person behind the scenes. Unless she wants to, her body shape will not affect her career. This is nothing. In this circle, even the famous stars are very few who can achieve self-discipline. "

He is quite familiar with the celebrity species. He has too little self-discipline. Not to mention alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, bisexuality, and various methods of seeking death, all of which have been exploited by this group. .

Naomi obviously couldn't get into those yet, and a young actor wasn't qualified to indulge, so she asked him puzzledly:

"Are actresses like this too? If those famous female celebrities also drink like this, how can they stay in shape? I can't believe it."

He drank most of the remaining beer in one gulp and knocked on the bar to signal the bartender to pour him a larger glass. He turned around and chatted with Naomi about gossip.

"Not all female stars are like this, but it is not uncommon for most of them to drink alcohol, take drug powders, smoke leaf cigarettes and the like at various rave parties. This is such a circle, whether they are female stars or male stars, everyone is there Looking hard for all kinds of excitement."

Naomi listened to these secrets that almost everyone in the circle knew. Although she had heard some before and she was not an innocent person, in her imagination, this circle was still glamorous and not so corrupt. .

"Are we going to be like that in the future? Wayne."

"Don't think too much, Nami. If you want to live that kind of life, the prerequisite is that you want to be successful. Now it's still far away from us. Why are everyone working hard here? If you don't work hard, you won't even be qualified to indulge."

Naomi shook her head with a wry smile, wasn't she? Because she was still too far away from that circle, and she became curious just because she couldn't get in touch with it.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom."

Wayne watched her put down the bottle and go to the bathroom with her bag. As soon as Naomi left, Luke sat next to him and asked Wayne, smelling of alcohol:

"Although this woman is very scheming, I can see that she hasn't turned into that kind of flesh and blood yet. She treats you well. Maybe you can consider officially getting a girlfriend."

He lit a cigarette and shook his head:

"Now is not the time. I only have work in mind right now. Before I succeed, I won't talk about relationship issues. Isn't this good? If you like it, spend the night together. If you don't feel like it, don't disturb the other person. Hollywood style Don’t think too much about love.”

Wayne's idea is to be put on the short video platform of later generations. He is definitely a representative of a scumbag. It is too normal here, especially in Hollywood.

Not to mention this entertainment-to-death circle, separation and reunification are basically the norm in society at all times. Perhaps some places in the United States, especially the central part, are very conservative, but young people in most cities still adhere to the theme of openness.

This is the case in the West. In the next ten or twenty years, even for the national server that is rising at a miraculous speed, young people in big cities will have to split up and get together in life.

"as long as you are happy!"

Luke clinked glasses with him, took the bottle and went to party with the crew.

"Wayne, don't you care about them?"

Naomi came back from the bathroom and pointed at the crew.

When he turned around, he realized that they had already hid in a booth in the corner, swaying to the music. Rose held a hand-rolled cigarette in his hand, took a puff, and handed it to Lily, who was obviously drunk.

"Forget it, let them go. Let's go back. I drank a little too much and I don't want to stay here anymore."

He put on his coat, pulled Naomi out, and suddenly stopped at the door of the bar, waving to Luke. When Luke came over and told her to pay attention to safety, he pulled Naomi out of the bar.

There was no one else in the bar tonight except for the crew and some extras, so Wayne wasn't worried about them getting into trouble. The job was over and it was none of his business what they wanted to do.

At this kind of closed party, alcohol and leaf cigarettes are must-haves, and it is not uncommon for people to smoke.

When he was in middle school, he had been exposed to leaf cigarettes. Although he was curious and wanted to try it, he never took action. He is very rational and knows that this kind of inducing thing is the culprit of those powder addictions.

During the breaks in filming, he also saw Rose and the others hiding in the corner and having sex, and he was not stupid enough to stop them. This is the norm in Hollywood. Under the bright sunshine of California, there are all kinds of unspeakable darkness.

"Shall we go back? Wayne."

"Go back. If you want to continue chatting, there is beer in the hotel."

Wayne pulled her to open his door and took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator. The two people sat in front of the window and looked at the bright night sky.

"Wayne, don't tell me you never smoked those, not at parties in school?"

Naomi glanced at the big boy curiously, and she could clearly see the disgust towards Ye Ziyan in his eyes just now.

"No, I was curious about it, but I never touched it once. Later, my classmates and teammates thought I was boring, so they stopped calling me in the party."

Not only in the past and now, even if he is under great pressure at work in the future, he will not touch those things. Hollywood is a place that can amplify all emotions and always uses power, wealth and opportunity as chips to gamble on life and death. There are too many film and television entertainment practitioners who have turned from victims of these things to perpetrators.

The fame and fortune circle is different from ordinary people's lifestyles, with heavy pressure and the stimulation of success, and the ease with which money, fame and fortune can be obtained. Not many of these special groups of people can avoid getting lost among them, and it is really difficult for people to preserve their own sound personality.

Not to mention anything else, he saw a lot of news in his later years, because smoking these things ruined his Hollywood stardom, and the A-level celebrities among them had to queue up.

Famous ones include Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. and his father Robert Sr., Captain Johnny Depp of the Black Pearl, and his two good friends Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix.

Robert Downey Jr. was famous for taking drugs. When it came to his son, he followed his father's path and smoked more and harder. After being released from prison and jailed several times, he has been relying on Mel Gibson to help find some small roles to do odd jobs.

Even though he later turned around with Marvel's Iron Man and became a celebrity in this series, the rumors about him smoking these things have never stopped. It’s just that there is no media to report it anymore. After all, the media is also a tool in the hands of capital.

If Downey's transformation was not completely ruined, River Phoenix sucked these things to death. If he hadn't died from an overdose, Keanu Reeves and Johnny Depp wouldn't have come to their senses. In the end, it's hard to say whether their achievements would have been that high.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you so stunned?"

Naomi pushed him back hard, and he came back to his senses and apologized:

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you just said, and something suddenly occurred to me."

"I asked you if you want to go to my room? Or should I stay?"

"No, Nami, just have a good rest. I also want to think about post-production."

This was the last night of the crew's existence, and it was also a crucial night for him to direct the movie. In two months of filming, he practiced too much paper knowledge and learned to compromise for the sake of work.

Those staff members, except for Luke, will not be involved in post-production, so their work means that it is over. All they have to do is party hard, try to anesthetize themselves, and then go back and continue looking for the next crew.

So whether it was their doubts about Wayne's ability at the beginning, or the conflicts between props and set designers during the filming, as the night passed, everything would come to an end.

Early the next morning, the team returned to Los Angeles, and everyone slowly separated in silence. He deposited the finished film in the bank and returned to the bachelor apartment where he had been away for two months.

He has no holidays and will start a new job soon. Picked up the phone and called his agent.

"Hello, this is Wayne Greenberg. Jimmy, my shooting is over and I want to talk to you about something. If it's convenient, you can come to my apartment."

"Okay, I'll go there in the afternoon."

Jimmy hung up the phone. In the past two months, except for occasionally calling two of his clients, he had not visited the crew once. In his mind, he has determined that this film is just a training work for this novice director.

He helped recruit the crew and most of the actors, and he knew the value of it very well. If it weren't for the fact that he could get some commissions in the early stage, he really wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

This kind of simple production team of more than a dozen people is considered a small workshop even in the independent film circle. It was too difficult to successfully produce a film above the standard. Now that he heard that the filming was successfully completed, he already felt that Wayne's ability was pretty good.

He knew that the ambition of this young director was not just to treat this film as a graduation thesis, but also to promote it to theaters. It's not that it's impossible, but the chance is too low. There are countless crews shooting every day in Hollywood, and only a very small part of them can enter the theater.
