Hollywood Drawing

Except for a small group of people who can actually participate in the Oscars, for the remaining 90% of celebrities, the Vanity Fair cocktail party may be more attractive than the lengthy Oscars.

This also shows that the cocktail party held by Vanity Fair after the Oscars has become a symbol, especially since they also lay out a red carpet in front of the hotel every year. Compared with the Oscars' strict review stage, this red carpet Blanket has become the first choice for many people.

After several years of development, there are also many media reporters in front of this red carpet, which indirectly turns it into another place for female stars to compete for beauty. Moreover, more and more film crews are now harvesting at the Oscars. The little golden queen habitually regards this place as a place to celebrate her achievements.

Just like in previous years, this year's cocktail party was as lively as ever. Everyone was wearing a decent suit or evening dress, and they were politely greeting each other. Some were looking for job opportunities, some were looking for potential partners, and similarly, there were also men and women looking for opportunities. Even if your prey is dressed decently, it is essentially difficult to hide the nakedness inside.

There is also a difference from previous years. Most of the people in the banquet hall are paying attention to the crew of "The Departed". Although the protagonist has not yet appeared, it does not prevent the strong jealousy in some eyes. .

Compared with the serious and dogmatic Oscar Awards ceremony, this occasion has a much higher degree of freedom. The most important point is that the bosses of various film companies in the industry who basically never show up will also appear in the banquet hall.

Townsend Rothman was also invited. As the new CEO of 20th Century Fox, he did not go to the red carpet surrounded by media. Instead, like most film company executives, he walked alone from a professional The passage entered the banquet hall.

He was almost at a loss during the normal awards ceremony. When he saw Wayne finally holding up the Best Director statuette, an unspeakable feeling flooded into his heart at the same time. At that time, I was the one who single-handedly led the release of the other party's first film "Happy Death Day". Similarly, I also made the decision not to continue the cooperation.

In fact, not many years have passed, but the other party has grown too fast. In the end, after a big circle, it was himself who took the initiative, allowing Fox to establish a cooperative relationship with the other party. Now think about it, The taste is really depressing.

Whenever he thinks about the box office figures of "Joker", "Batman Begins", "The Return of the Clown" and other films, as well as the possible profits, he can't help but feel his heart twitching. More importantly, "The Dark Knight", which has not yet been released, is destined to create a box office myth again.

Although the film is still undergoing post-production work, Warner Bros.'s sparing no effort in promoting and promoting it in various ways, as well as the huge popularity accumulated from the previous film, mean that the chance of failure of this film is infinitely close to zero.

If Wayne had achieved his current success in another giant company, he might have felt better, but if you take a closer look at Warner Bros. and the projects they have produced at Warner Bros., you will immediately find that these things were not as effective in the 20th century. Fox can find a substitute, a perfect substitute, which is the most uncomfortable thing.

"Hollywood has always been known as the place where miracles are made since its birth."

While he was looking intently at Wayne, who was immediately surrounded by a large group of people as soon as he entered the hall, beside Townsend-Rosman, a middle-aged white man in a suit and tie expressed his unabashed sigh. “But no matter how many superstars and great directors there have been in this industry, there has never been anyone as special as him who can achieve such achievements in just a few years.

The path he took is something that no one can imitate at all. He broke the rules of the market time and time again and achieved unexpected success time and time again! Townsend, the moment that kid stood on the stage tonight and held up the Best Director statuette, do you know what I was delusional about? "

"uh-huh?!"

Townsend-Rosman shook his head slightly, grunted as if perfunctory, thought for a while and added randomly: "Shay, if I were you, I wouldn't appear in his sight. Don't look at this kid's surface. He has the same character as Steven, always smiling like a good old man, but anyone who has been in contact with him knows that this is a poisonous python that likes to hide in the dark and will swallow people whole when it strikes! "

"That's a grudge between his father and I and has nothing to do with this child." Xie Yi smiled and shook his head indifferently, not taking the other person's reminder to heart at all. "Besides, so many years have passed. Who can tell what was right or wrong? Anyway, I have already planned to let go of New Line completely. It doesn't matter anymore.

Going back to the topic just now, you know? The moment the child raised the statuette, I suddenly felt an incredible illusion. It seems that the purpose of the existence of Hollywood and the entertainment industry in the 1990s is to set off his greatness. It’s incredible, right? "

If nothing else goes wrong, this year he is planning to sell all shares of New Line Cinema to the parent company Time Warner. By then, Time Warner is destined to take over New Line Cinema's film library, copyrights, distribution channels, etc. Useful things will be merged into the Warner Bros. system.

It’s not that he wants to let go willingly, but that New Line Cinema has reached an unsustainable point today. Big investments and big productions are simply not something New Line can afford. Basically, it’s filmed and produced by students from North American universities. Youth horror films produced by small and medium-sized companies have also fallen into obscurity.

If nothing else goes wrong, there will never be another hit like "Seven Deadly Sins" in the company. On the contrary, it is better to sell the shares as soon as possible while there is still some value, at least it will be more honorable than cutting the flesh with a dull knife and finally going bankrupt and liquidating. Faced with the sigh of New Line President Shea, Townsend-Rosman was also in a trance and nodded involuntarily. Not far away from him, there was only one protagonist in the entire banquet hall, and that was Wayne, who was constantly receiving congratulations from insiders.

No one knows when exactly this man has completely become the person most people need to fawn over, as if he is standing in the center of Hollywood.

Only a few years have passed since 1990! The other party has climbed from a little person who can be manipulated to the center of the highest stage in Hollywood, becoming one of the most powerful figures.

Even the most criticized social problems of the other party have also attracted many partners in their own camp through cooperation and other means in just a few years. What makes Townsend-Rothman most incredible is that the other party has completely kidnapped Warner Brothers and even Time Warner to himself through huge profit sharing.

With the backing of the world's top three media groups, the other party really doesn't have to worry about the messy coveting. It can even be found from various signs during this year's awards season that if you want to target the other party, you don't have to speak personally. Warner Bros. You will take the initiative to talk nonsense.

In this regard, just looking at the haggard head of Miramax will make people feel a chill down their backs for no reason.

"If you analyze it carefully, his growth process is actually not special." Townsend Roseman smiled bitterly and said happily:

"First, prove your worth to the entire Hollywood, and then be willing to act as a profit-making tool for capital without hesitation. After you have accumulated a certain amount of accumulation, you will immediately use greater benefits to smoothly integrate yourself into larger capital, allowing you to The two have become an indivisible one, this child’s mind is so clear!”

Although everyone can do post-mortem analysis, which seems to be quite simple, but in the history of Hollywood, there has never been a special genius like Wayne. This is the most amazing thing.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people surrounding the crew of "The Departed", Townsend-Rossman and Shay nodded, said hello, and walked towards the location of the crew. The main purpose of his coming here tonight is to talk to the other party about "X-Men" and then send his congratulations.

"While you were being interviewed, Anna and Ruben had already returned to the manor to rest early." When the crowd finally dispersed and "Vanity Fair" editor-in-chief Tina Brown also left to entertain other guests, Nina reported in a low voice. . "Professor Horowitz also left with them. Depending on the situation, he will have a drink with your father to celebrate."

"I see."

Wayne nodded, raised one hand, and pressed hard on both sides of his head. I maintained a high level of concentration during the entire award ceremony. I didn't feel anything wrong at the time, but after it was over, I felt tired gradually coming over me.

Then he faced routine questions from a large group of reporters. The chattering sounds prevented his mind from relaxing for a moment. Even when he closed his eyes, the camera flashes were still flashing in his mind.

"When I get back, I'm going to customize a display cabinet." Naomi Watts held the Best Director and Best Original Screenplay statuettes in her arms, the pride on her face undisguised.

As for the Best Picture statuette, it was taken away by Charles Rowan. That statuette will be used to promote the return of "The Departed" to theaters. This film that won six statuettes will definitely be for Warner Bros. The brothers once again made a huge profit.

"You know? Honey." While there was no one around, the Australian actress seemed to have turned on her talkative nature. She bumped the man who was lighting a cigarette with her shoulder and said, "Just when you were saying your acceptance speech, I really thought You forgot about me. If you never mention me in the end, I believe..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Nami!"

Wayne exhaled a cloud of smoke and quickly interrupted the other party's ramblings. "Actually, the first acceptance speech I prepared was not this conventional list of thanks at all. "

"What?"

"what is that?"

This gossip attracted the attention of both Nina and Naomi Watts.

"Really want to know?! Cough, cough, cough." A strange expression suddenly appeared on Wayne's tired face. He didn't even have time to spit out a puff of cigarette, and he choked and coughed several times in a row.

Immediately, he carefully recalled the expression of the guy in his mind, put away all the fun on his face, and said seriously: "I'm The King Of The World!"

"To a certain extent, you can indeed say that." Before the two stunned women came to their senses, Townsend-Rossman walked over with a chuckle. "Congratulations, Wayne!"
