Hollywood Drawing

"Hollywood Drawn()"!

The car began to slowly approach the Chinese Theater, and Naomi Watts was ready to let the media take enough photos. In front of them were a group of young actors and Li Guohao's car.

Although this group of people is not well-known yet, the fans and reporters on both sides are still very respectful, screaming when they should, applauding when they should, and flashing lights from time to time.

The production cost of "The Return of the Clown" was only over 20 million, and relatively speaking, the investment in publicity was not much. Warner Bros.'s major promotional funds were invested a week before the film was released.

Everyone in the industry knows that no matter what type of film is successful, it cannot do without high-intensity publicity and promotion. A week before today's premiere, several young actors and Li Guohao began to participate in various programs, interviews and activities.

Warner Bros.'s well-connected newspapers, various entertainment magazines, large posters that appear in movie theaters in advance, local TV talk shows, and various large outdoor billboards are all conventional promotional methods before a movie is released. .

What's difficult to do is that most of the young actors in the crew are underage. Otherwise, Warner Bros.'s public relations department would have hyped their relationship in the entertainment tabloids.

The only exception is director Wayne. Due to work reasons, he did not stand in front of the stage in person this time, and Warner Bros.'s distribution department did not customize a similar plan for him.

Compared with the investment scale of this film, it is obvious that the project with an investment of hundreds of millions cannot be delayed.

It wasn't until all the work was done, such as contacting theaters, distributing copies of the film in cities across North America, and confirming the premiere theater, that Warner Bros. notified Wayne to attend the premiere on time.

Backed by a giant-level media group, it can be said that Wayne does not need to worry about anything that has nothing to do with film production. Warner Bros. has a complete range of professional departments and personnel, as well as a very complete variety of publicity and distribution channels, both upstream and downstream. Operational capabilities, all he has to do is continue to produce high-quality content.

This is also where he feels most comfortable. As long as his value continues to increase, the honeymoon period between Warner Bros. and him will be extended indefinitely, and he can save countless energy for film and television production.

After this film, Wayne will quickly invest in Warner Bros., and Colin Howard has already contacted more than five major banks. It is now certain that hundreds of millions of funds will be loaned out, and there will be absolutely no problem with Wayne's credit and income.

This is an important transition for him from a "worker" to a boss. However, in the evaluation of Wayne by the outside world, they never admit that he is a simple film director, and normal people will not treat him that way. As Wayne -When the name Greenberg appears, it is usually with producers and film directors.

The media and insiders generally evaluate him similarly to Steven Spielberg, "When he picks up the camera, he is a top genius director; when he puts down the camera, Wayne is a film businessman." ’

This is related to the rights and benefits he generally obtains. He can decide on his own crew members, all actors, and preside over the post-production of movies. Even few directors in Hollywood can get this.

All this comes from uninterrupted success, success that is constantly higher than everyone's expectations. This is the reality of this circle. Whoever can create greater benefits is the winner. It is a winner-takes-all game.

"How unfortunate these little actors are!"

Before getting off the car, Naomi Watts said with emotion as she watched Drew Barrymore finally walk on the red carpet.

"What? They will become famous through this. You are too sentimental, Nami!" Wayne buttoned up his suit jacket, opened the car door and got out of the car. He turned around and stretched out his hand to help the Australian beauty out.

As the only big name in the film, when he walked onto the red carpet, the press area on the left burst out with all the enthusiasm, and the dazzling flashlights were like daylight.

"I mean, isn't it unfortunate enough that these young actors can't watch their own videos after they walk down the red carpet?"

While smiling and letting various media take photos, Naomi Watts explained in a low voice.

"They can watch it if they want to, as long as they don't watch it in public, it's an R-rated movie!"

Wayne usually walks the red carpet very quickly. He is not a star standing in front of the stage, and there is no need to maintain this kind of exposure. But this time, because he was the only publicity point and to take care of the Australian beauty, he deliberately slowed down.

"Wayne! Wayne..."

"Hey, Wayne, look over here!"

"Ah, ah..."

Seeing him walking to the middle of the red carpet, some fans screamed loudly, and some shouted his name at the top of their lungs. The film will not be officially released until tomorrow Friday. Today, there are only about 2,000 advance screenings in the United States. Those who can come here to attend the premiere can be regarded as his die-hard fans.

"Aren't you going to sign an autograph for them? Damn it, why do you, a director, have so many die-hard fans? This is unscientific!"

Seeing that she was about to pass by the large group of movie fans, Naomi Watts looked at the security personnel who had worked so hard to stop them, and whispered to him while keeping a smile.

"I won't go. I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary confusion. I still remember what happened last year very clearly!"

After Wayne finished speaking, he completely ignored the screaming fans and pulled Naomi Watts to speed up and quickly walked towards the entrance of the theater, preparing to quickly complete the routine interview so as to enter the theater.

Different from the previous interview format, Bella Grant, who was already the entertainment editor of the Los Angeles Times, was waiting directly in the interview area. With her current status, she finally no longer had to squeeze into the reporter area.

There are only two media outlets that can wait at the door of the theater. The other one is CNN, owned by Warner Bros.. Unlike TV stations, print media like the Los Angeles Times pay more attention to the timeliness of text. What news CNN wants is much simpler than them.

As soon as Naomi Watts entered the interview area, the two women looked at each other and then quickly looked away from each other's faces.

"Your fierce "good friend" is here too. I often see her in the tabloids. Wayne, why do you like a cow? I remember that you like model figures, don't you? This taste has become a bit..."

"Nami, let's go sign autographs."

Wayne didn't seem to hear her words. This trick of being cheeky didn't work for Naomi Watts many times. She just complained a few words, but she would always maintain the minimum dignity. She was firmly controlled by Wayne in this aspect. .

After signing the signature board, Bella Grant came up directly with the microphone.

"Mr. Greenberg, can you tell us about your expectations for this film?"

Wayne said directly with a tight face: ""The Return of the Clown" will be the box office champion this weekend!"

"Okay, is Ms. Naomi Watts your girlfriend? She is your female companion at every important event. When did you start dating?"

"Hey, Bella, please ask a question about the movie." Wayne shrugged, but still smiled and explained a few words. "We have always been good friends, please don't harm me, Nami's male fans will kill me!"

Bella Grant continued: "Okay, last question, Mr. Greenberg, this is a story about several teenagers. As the main planner of the film, what was your original intention in filming this story?"

When the question returned to the movie, Wayne also breathed a sigh of relief and thought about the microphone for a while before saying: "Although this is a horror movie, it is also a story of a boy's growth.

The pure and heartbroken teenagers face their inner fears and transform from losers to lovers. Whether it is friendship or hazy teenage love, it is the only way to grow up! Sorry, I can't reveal too much. Fans have to find out more in the film! "

Bella Grant took back the microphone. "Okay, thank you Director Greenberg for sharing!"

After accepting the routine interview, the two entered the theater and joined Jimmy and Nina, who had come in early, and walked to the VIP lounge area on the second floor.

But as soon as he arrived on the second floor, Wayne saw an unexpected person. He remembered that Warner Bros. had not informed him that this person would come to the premiere.

Nina deliberately stayed one step behind the others and whispered a reminder in her boss's ear. "Boss, he came in from the staff passage. He has been waiting for you, probably because of "The Lord of the Rings". This is really persistent!"

Wayne nodded and took the initiative to walk up to the big fat man and say hello. After all, his presence was a sign of support for the film.

"Good evening, Harvey, I'm glad you could come."

"Good evening, Wayne. I wish your new film will continue to be a box office hit!"

The two shook hands, walked to the rest area and sat down together. Before the fat man could speak first, Wayne said directly: "Harvey, if you want to talk about the film and television rights of that masterpiece, then forget it. Well, my meaning will not change."

"Wayne, don't be too busy refusing." With a smile on his fat face, Harvey Weinstein glanced at Naomi Watts and his assistant Nina who were sitting next to the young director, and waited for a while. They had no intention of leaving, so they looked at him and said:

"I have an idea that you can consider. The copyright of this masterpiece is still yours. Miramax can produce it together with you. We can jointly set up a studio and then produce the film according to the investment ratio.

Of course, all the problems in early preparation and shooting can be solved by Miramax. All you need to do is hand over the copyright. In this way, even if you don’t invest in production funds, you can still get profits in proportion. We have this ratio. We can discuss it together! "

Wayne stretched out his hand to Nina, and the assistant consciously took out his cigarette from his bag. People around him knew that whenever he needed to think seriously, he must be surrounded by smoke.

Harvey Weinstein's proposal is not impossible for him now. He can't create value even if he holds the copyright in his hands. If it can be filmed with the other party's money and handed over to Warner Brothers for distribution, it will be equivalent to most The profits are still obtained by myself, and there is no need to pay for the copyright.
