~： Two hundred and thirty seven - drunk

As the lights in the theater went out, the buzzing chatter gradually subsided. Naomi Watts and Todd McCarthy also ended their brief exchange and turned their attention to the curtain at the same time.

Regardless of whether Wayne is a bad taste, this is the third movie he has watched seriously this year.

1994 was definitely the most fruitful year for Hollywood. In many cases, the gathering of bad movies was the theme of the media’s inventory at the end of the year, but this year just entered October, and some media could not wait to publish their views. The gathering of good movies turned out to be more important. Sad.

Not only the media, but also the group of film critics who think they represent the profession, feel that this year's Oscars must be full of regrets, because there are too many good movies, but the award can only be awarded to one.

According to the media and film critics, this year is definitely a golden year for movies. Whether it is commercial or full of art, this year seems to be a blowout.

From "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", to "True Lies", "Browsing Eyes", "Life and Death", as well as "Dumb and Duck", "In Disguise" that made Jim Carrey Geek, and even the animated feature film, the immortal "The Lion King."

Of course, I have to mention the miracle "The Clown's Return" and the just-released "Pulp Fiction".

"Pulp Fiction" is definitely one of the regrets of the Oscar, but fortunately, this film has won the Palme d'Or, which also makes people full of curiosity before the film is released.

"Damn it, I knew it." Naomi Watts hugged Wayne's arm. More than halfway through the film, she couldn't help turning her head and complained in a low voice:

"Your film, sometimes I feel like I can't appreciate it, but I didn't expect this film to be more extreme! This kind of film is too unfriendly to women, excessively violent, obscene, superficial, and it has to say so many nonsense-like lines ?"

Wayne took his eyes back from the big screen, stretched out his finger, put it in front of his mouth and said "shh". Now is the premiere of the film. It would be very embarrassing for others to hear this woman's remarks.

I believe that it is not only Naomi Watts who feels this way. Most of the female audience in the theater must feel that this film is incomprehensible as if it is sick.

No way, movies have audiences, and there are also movie viewing thresholds. On the contrary, most men watch them with relish.

"I disagree with you." Wayne put his head close to her ear and explained softly. "This is the epitome of non-linear storytelling in all the films I've seen. The structure is well-structured and meaningful, and the dialogue is also wonderful.

Pay attention to Nami, everyone in the film has more or less beautiful qualities, but they inevitably go to darkness and confusion. Each story paragraph is indistinguishable from beginning to end, complementary structure.

Also, the beginning and the end will be connected, which is equivalent to implying to the audience that in reality, the plots similar to those in the movie are always happening and never stop, which is a closed loop. "

The film has slowly come to the end, Wayne explained casually, and Naomi Watts watched him dazedly, but when the film ended, she still asked in an inexplicable tone:

"This thing is really as good as you said? Why can't I appreciate it at all? It feels more incomprehensible than what you photographed."

This question made Wayne feel discouraged, and he felt that he was wasting his efforts to explain the half-time movie to this silly woman.

He rolled his eyes, pulled up Naomi Watts, and followed the audience to applaud the creative team.

After watching the whole movie, not only the women around him heard his commentary, but the film critic Todd McCarthy also kept listening secretly.

When the audience started lining up to leave, the famous film critic in Los Angeles shook hands with Wayne with a smile, and whispered: "Trust me, Wayne, a very wonderful analysis of the film, you are not only a talented producer, director, The initiator of the project definitely has the talent to be a film critic.”

After speaking, he walked out of the auditorium, leaving behind two people who were embarrassed. Todd McCarthy thought he was praising Wayne, but after he turned to leave, it attracted a snort from the other side.

Saying that he has the talent of a film critic is definitely not a compliment in his opinion. He doesn't have any good feelings for this group, and he believes that this group will be eliminated sooner or later.

When the people were almost gone, Wayne brought Naomi Watts to the big screen to congratulate the creative team.

The first is Quentin Tarantino, the genius "ruffian" who seems to have an inexplicable affection for him.

"A very wonderful masterpiece, the ring structure is very cleverly set up, and there are multi-angle narrative techniques. It's a genius way."

Like those before him, Wayne hugged the film director and said some kind words that everyone loved to hear. "Once again, I wish the film a great sale!"

"Thank you, Wayne."

After the two of them hugged, Quentin Tarantino was very excited and said with a grin: "We have time to chat more, but unfortunately you are too busy with your work. Go visit your class."

"No problem." Wayne nodded happily.

In addition to being a film director, he is also a very interesting person, and it is also very good to make friends, and, from the perspective of filming, they should be able to chat.

"Congratulations, Uma, for a wonderful performance!"

"Thank you, Wayne."

After shaking hands with several of the main creators one by one, Naomi Watts and him were led by the staff to the hotel next to the theater for a regular reception.

Like most parties in Hollywood, there are people holding champagne and giving business cards politely and courteously, and there are also many agents who are constantly promoting with their clients.

It is more common for some men and women in the circle to drink two glasses of wine, and then walk into the elevator with their arms around them.

Wayne and Naomi Watts sat in the corner, watching all the busyness in the banquet hall.

"When are we going back? I remember you don't like the atmosphere, right?" The Australian beauty watched a movie she didn't like and was not interested in everything at the reception.

She understands better than anyone that as long as she doesn't make fatal mistakes, she will never use that kind of low-level social interaction. Sitting next to her is one of the best producers in this circle, and she has no reason to curry favor with anyone.

"Ok, you go shopping first, I'll chat with that African American, and then we'll go back."

Seeing Harvey Weinstein and bringing Samuel Jackson over, he also stood up with champagne, walked over to the big fat man, and shook hands with the black actor.

"Director Greenberg, my agent and I talked about your invitation." Samuel Jackson touched Wayne with a glass of wine, and then said, "It is of course my honor, I can enter at any time. Group audition."

"This role is not well paid!"

Wayne took a sip of champagne. "Or in other words, all the roles are not well paid, even the male lead. If you can accept it, bring your agent tomorrow and go to the studio to sign a contract."

Samuel Jackson looked surprised. "No audition required?"

"Hey, it's Wayne Greenberg standing in front of you!" Harvey Weinstein teased: "Of course he can make up his mind about his project. This is a very good opportunity, Samuel."

The black actor reacted abruptly. This is different from other Hollywood directors. This young man is also a producer. He is the kind of big director who can absolutely control everything. No one will question him. Decide.

"No problem, Director Greenberg, the short-term promotion is over, and I'll be in the filming forward group."

"Ok, I wish us a happy cooperation." Wayne picked up the glass, touched him again, and at the same time touched the big fat Harvey, and drank the champagne in the glass in one gulp.

After the brief exchange was over, when he turned back to look for Naomi Watts, the woman was gone.

Sitting back in the seat just now, Wayne continued to look bored at the men and women at the reception. From time to time, some brokers would bring clients over, and after a while, the table was filled with business cards.

Raising his hand and looking at the time, he wondered why Naomi Watts hadn't come back.

"Mr. Greenberg, how can I help you?"

A female waiter saw him beckoning came over with a tray full of drinks, and asked politely with a slight bend.

Wayne said, "Excuse me, did you see where Ms. Naomi Watts went?"

"The bathroom, about twenty minutes ago, and I haven't seen her come back since."

"OK, thanks."

After he finished speaking, Wayne stood up and buttoned his suit, ready to go to see what was going on. Naomi Watts just wanted to go back, so why should he not be in a hurry.

"fxxk, **** it, I've said it many times, I don't have any interest in you, please get out of the way!"

"Maybe we can talk in another place, trust me, you will be interested in another place..."

When he passed through the banquet hall and was not close to the bathroom, he heard a slight quarrel. He recognized that it was Naomi Watts' voice, and took a few steps to enter the bathroom at the corner of the corridor.

This is very strange. Almost everyone saw the two of them coming together. Normally, no one would harass his girlfriend.

But when he approached, he probably understood what was going on. This was a middle-aged white man, who should have been drinking a lot of alcohol. His upper body was leaning against the wall, blocking Naomi Watts's way.

He was still muttering while talking, obviously he was no longer sober, so he was a drunk.

"Wayne."

When Naomi Watts saw him approaching, she screamed in surprise, which also caught the middle-aged man's attention. At this moment, the Australian beauty hurried over and hugged his arm.

"This person drank too much and kept pestering me, and there was no waiter nearby..."
