Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 102 Premiere (seeking subscription recommendation)

Night fell slowly, but the door of the Chinese Grand Theater was still brightly lit and crowded.

The men and women in Chinese clothes crowded and squeezed the defense line opened up by the media reporters in front, trying hard to get closer and closer to the red carpet.

The premiere of "Furious" has all kinds of preparations, and it is naturally brilliant.

Under the coordination of the host, the atmosphere of the scene was also skillfully controlled. From the beginning, the screams of the onlookers never stopped...

Mel Gibson, the Cohen brothers, Kevin Costner...

Until Penelope Cruz appeared on the red carpet holding Tom Cruise's arm, the scene sensation ushered in the first small climax.

While pressing the shutter, the photographer asked a colleague next to him: "When did the director of this film get in touch with these people? Didn't it mean that he was from France? Such a connection?"

I thought that the cast of "Furious" had a bleak star, and the entire cast was topical except for Nicholas Cage, and the rest were lacking in gimmicks that made people eye-catching. I also thought that the red carpet is just like that. It's not embarrassing, but I didn't expect it to be a constant surprise. Now even Tom Cruise has come to join him.This immediately made everyone's enthusiasm rise.

There will be enough drafts and topics to be written tomorrow.

"Don't you know that this is the work of Paramount Pictures or CAA? Even if he is a director alone, even if he has a wide network, he can still invite so many people who are bigger than him? You don't want to think about it. Are all CAA contracted artists?"

As an old man who has been in the business for many years and a very experienced reporter in the entertainment section of The New York Daily, he continued to his colleague in charge of taking pictures: "And, you didn't know that Paramount Pictures stuffed us with money. Director? Even if the red carpet is really boring, you still have to write a report and publish it."

"But there will be content to write in this way, and there will be enough gimmicks, otherwise, the sales of the newspaper will drop and the editor will blame us."

"Okay, take a few more good photos."

As he was talking, the audience behind him suddenly burst into shouts, but it was Golden Globes actress Nicole Kidman who walked on the red carpet. This actress who has been affirmed for her acting skills and beauty obviously has Many supporters can still vaguely hear some fanatical fans expressing their love there, shouting to marry her.

It's daydreaming, oh no, it's night now, it's time to dream.

After Nicole Kidman passed by, the red carpet was quiet a lot. The fans and audiences who came behind were obviously not very familiar, but under the mobilization of the host, they gave more comfort than flattery.

"Boss, the director of "Furious" is here." The cameraman warned carefully.

Wearing a neat suit, Lyman walked onto the red carpet quite casually.

Immediately afterwards, the voices of the audience at the scene reached his ears.

The flashes on both sides lit up, making people feel particularly dazzling.

Enduring this light, Lyman couldn't help speeding up his pace.

Even when someone greeted in the reporter area on both sides, he just pretended not to have heard him, and he wouldn't stop to take photos with him.

Hurrying into the interview area, the agent Johnson, who had been waiting for a long time, walked to Lehman's side at a faster speed than the reporters, so as to remind himself at any time that the most valuable client in the future should not say anything wrong.

"Director Lyman, do you have confidence in your work? Can you play "007: Die Another Day" which was released in the same period?"

Lehman only felt that there was still a trace of tingling in his eyeballs. The visual stimulus that countless flashes lit at the same time not only made the light shine like daylight, but also caused him to be tortured in the center.

But even so, Lehman still smiled on the surface when he met reporters' questions, and replied very politely and positively: "Of course I would be more optimistic about my work."

Hearing such a confident answer, the reporter was satisfied. He now even thinks about the title of tomorrow's draft: Shocked, the works of the "007" series are all rubbish.

Yesterday, when our reporter interviewed Director Lehman, he learned that...

"Director Lyman, after you made a work like "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood", you immediately made a work with a completely different theme or directing style from the previous work. What is special about you? Do you think of it?” Because it was the premiere, the media that collected money, oh no, there are many news media invited to join in. The reporters at the scene certainly don’t plan to end their questioning in this way, so, Another reporter hurriedly asked again.

Such a question was obviously expected. Lehman was also prepared. He smiled and replied decently: "I don't think the style of these two works will be different. In fact, in my opinion, they It can be regarded as a commercial movie."

However, this time, the evasive and ingenious words were obviously not enough to satisfy the reporters on the spot. No, one person immediately asked a question. "Not long ago, Brad Pitt mentioned in an interview that it was you At first I wanted to invite him to play one of the roles, but for some reason, he was replaced by Nicholas Cage. Is that true? Or do you think Brad Pitt is not as good as Nicholas Kay? Odd? Why else would you want to change candidates temporarily."

Lehman followed the voice and looked over, and found that he didn't even know the person who asked the previous question.

Well, in fact, all the reporters present, he was very eye-catching and had never been in contact with him.

The other party’s question is obviously an attempt to widen the gap, provoke the controversy inherent in this issue, and create more topical gimmicks.

Johnson next to him was a little nervous, for fear that Lehman would say something that would cause criticism.

"The sergeant is a veteran who has gone through the battlefield. First of all, the actor's overall image and temperament must conform to the setting of the character. In fact, in my original idea..."

Lehman is not stupid. He would directly say which actor is good and which actor is not good. Isn't it offending people for nothing?Even if Brad Pitt's conditions were excessive, leading to the failure of cooperation between the two sides, this is not a reason for Lyman to discredit him.He didn't bother to do this.

"After Brad Pitt received the audition notice, it was quite consistent, but his schedule was not well coordinated, so...I can't wait, so I had to find other suitable actors for the film role."

"That said, although your goal at the beginning was Brad Pitt, you didn't regard him as the most absolute choice. You actually have a lot of goals." The reporter immediately grasped the main points. Asked again.

"Yes." Lehman nodded immediately, lied without a trace, "I have a lot of people in my heart. Later, when I watched "The Wind Whisperer" again, I finally affirmed that Nicholas Cage will play."

"That's it, it's getting late, I'm going in first."

Lehman left this sentence and walked out of the interview area.

As he walked into the theater, the agent Johnson behind him quickly chased him up and immediately explained: "Brad Pitt did not take the initiative to explode this news. We have been notified by CAA. It should be MGM. Home Entertainment Pictures revealed to the outside world that it caused Brad Pitt to be taken the opportunity to ask questions when he was attending an event. It was difficult for him to avoid such occasions."

"I see." Lehman replied calmly, showing no signs of being affected.

After arriving at the projection hall, a false smile appeared on his face.

Accompanied by Johnson, he greeted many people in the circle enthusiastically.

In any case, their presence today is to give Lehman face.

These tedious interpersonal interactions and possible relationships also need to be carefully managed.

Turning around, it took nearly half an hour before Lyman finally left the accommodating crowd and found Ryan, Thomas and others sitting in a secluded place.

"Busy working?"

Ryan and Thomas were chatting. Seeing Lyman sitting on the seat with a tired expression, he couldn't help but joked.

"Huh, dealing with them is more tiring than editing a movie."

"Haha, can those who can do more work?" Ryan continued to smile unkindly, and Thomas was also on the side—although he was silent, the playfulness on his face was particularly obvious.

"It's okay if you two don't go and help me, just sit comfortably, your mouth is still so sharp." Lyman said silently, suddenly remembering something, and then asked: "What about George, is he not here yet? ?"

"Oh, he went to take care of the relationship and get into relationships. Didn't you just see him?"

"Perhaps, there are so many people, after all kinds of greetings, my face smiles stiff, how can I pay attention to so many."

At this time, the red carpet outside, after experiencing the hustle and bustle of the fans in the opening, the gathering of stars in the first half, and the joking with the leading actors in the mid-term, inevitably began to lack stamina.

The appearance of Eva Green and other cast members or filming teams did not cause any disturbance at all, but instead allowed the atmosphere of the scene to slowly settle.

Under the leadership of the host, everyone passed into the theater in an orderly manner, completely ignoring the existence of this group of people.

The filming team behind the scenes are also used to this, as usual, they pass through the passage calmly and get inside.

And Eva Green was wearing a lavender, very gorgeous evening dress, enduring the coldness brought by the weather, but did not expect that the first red carpet show in her life would be so bad.

She had a lonely expression, but she still cheered up, stepping on her high heels proudly, with a smile on her face.

She does not admit defeat. One day, she will attract everyone's attention, including the cruel man. Thinking like this, her figure becomes more elegant...
