Hollywood Drawing

Tonight's "Vanity Fair" party after the Oscars, "Titanic" cast as the absolute star. Wayne led the group into the banquet hall of the Four Seasons Hotel, and what they saw was such a scene. Countless celebrities in the circle gathered around the "Titanic" crew and lined up to greet each other.

And among this group, Leonardo DiCaprio has undoubtedly become the brightest star. This face has unified the global aesthetics in just a few months. Even in the past ten or twenty years, as long as you pull out the photos of Xiao Lizi during this period, you can kill all the little fresh meats that claim to represent traffic.

"I heard that when he auditioned for the lead actor in 'Titanic', all the women in the entire 20th Century Fox building went to the audition site to watch."

Julia whistled in a low voice, turning her head and cooing the gossip with Naomi Watts.

"Just Johnny Depp, who was always with Tim Burton, also auditioned for this role." The Australian actress, with gossip on her face, put her arm around Wayne and tilted her head. Talk to Julia.

Today's Johnny Depp is very different from what he was after. Who would have imagined that before Leonardo DiCaprio exploded with "Titanic", Captain Jack was the representative of Hollywood's prosperous beauty?

But this is the truth. At this time, Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are recognized as dream lovers by girls all over North America. However, after Xiao Lizi exploded, the earth ball grass was directly pressed to his head. He has also become a representative of Hollywood's prosperous beauty.

"This face will accomplish him and become the biggest stumbling block in his career."

Shaking his head slightly, Wayne took a few people to spare, then found a seat near the balcony and sat down. He waved to the assistant, took the cigarette and lit one. He heard the women's chatter along the way, and he joked in a low voice.

"Hey, it's too handsome, isn't it?"

Naomi Watts rolled her eyes and laughed with Julia and Nina. They had the same idea, that is, the man beside him also had a rare feeling of jealousy.

Glancing at a few women, Wayne was smoking a cigarette silently, not continuing the topic of gossip. He knows the future development better than anyone else. Xiao Lizi's handsome face will make him a global idol and even a box office guarantee, but at the same time, it has become the biggest stumbling block on the road to the pursuit of the Oscars.

He still remembers that there were many people on the Internet who said that Leonardo DiCaprio's true love was those blond supermodels who were never over 25 years old. But he knew that Xiao Lizi's true love was never those, but the golden statuettes on the Oscar podium that cost only 180 yuan.

From the nineteen-year-old starring in "Different Sky", when he was accidentally nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, Xiao Lizi's road to winning the award was doomed to be full of ups and downs. Handsome face.

Oscar is notoriously unloving of handsome guys and beauties, and this will not change even in the next few decades. Handsome guys and beauties act very well on the big screen even if they only rely on a face blessed by God. Therefore, most members of the academy instinctively like actors who can make major breakthroughs.

Not only others, but Wayne himself. Some people have been emphasizing that Xiao Lizi's acting skills are superb, but it is covered up by his handsome face, but if you look at those actors who are also nominated to win the Best Actor Award, you can tell the difference at a glance.

Just like Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs", under the gentle appearance, hides evil and terrible. For example, in "Dallas Buyers Club", the skinny Matthew McConaughey is out of shape. Another example is Jack Nicholson, who is usually a disrespectful old man. This old guy is simply born to act.

Compared with the performances of these people who constantly subvert their images and make major breakthroughs every time, the beautiful teenagers, gentlemen, and even prosperous liars played by Xiao Lizi seem a bit too simple, as if they will never be able to escape some of their own marks. .

A pretty face is the biggest enemy on the way to the Oscar podium. Some actors figure it out early, such as Charlize Theron, the image of the crazy prostitute with no eyebrows and a burly body. Once it appeared on the big screen, it became accustomed to it. All the Oscar judges of her prosperous beauty were dumbfounded, and she successfully won the crown of the Oscar queen with this subversive performance.

At least it wasn't too late for Xiao Lizi to understand. When he figured this out, he started to destroy himself on the big screen like crazy. As long as you are careful, I believe many people can find that starting from "The Aviator" in 2005, he has tried to release his nature. The whole movie once used filial piety, crying and trembling to express the character's sadness and anger.

It was even more so in "Blood Diamond" two years later. The image on the screen became sloppy, speaking in African accented English, as if it was showing all the time, and the character was working hard all day long in the exotic Huangshan Mountains.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Leonardo DiCaprio is also constantly trying, hoping to find the taste that most members of the academy like. It's a pity that Oscar doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of deliberate crazy performance. In the eyes of many people, he still hasn't left the circle of popular idols.

It seems that no matter how hard you fight, no matter how you subvert the image, or perform a breakthrough performance, it is always short of fire. Nominated four times and passed by four times, the matter developed to the end, fans all over the world knew that he wanted the golden man, and even the Las Vegas gambling company was interested in Xiao Lizi When was it recognized by the academy and opened a big odds market.

When Xiao Lizi succeeded in getting the coveted little golden man with "The Revenant", many people said that it was all based on qualifications, and if the academy didn't give him this recognition, it would be too much to say.

There is indeed a factor of enough points, but it cannot be ignored. In this simple film, Xiao Lizi has completely broken through himself.

Carrying a 40 to 50 pound bearskin coat, crawling and rolling in the ice and snow at minus tens of degrees, even in order to make a real expression and performance, what kind of swallowed beef liver, climbed into the horse's stomach to keep out the cold overnight, the whole person was completely There is no so-called gentleman's shadow, and he also threw his face of the earth ball grass into the clouds.

In Wayne's view, the reason why Xiao Lizi got Oscar's attention this time is because he gave up the most memorable part of himself, his appearance.

Looking at the high-spirited little plum surrounded by a large group of hot beauties, Wayne spit out a large cigarette, squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly. He was nominated for an Oscar for the first time at the age of nineteen, and won the coveted award at the age of forty-two.

Looking back on Xiao Lizi's 23-year-long journey to the Olympics, who can't help but feel that the beauty of the prosperous world has achieved him, but it has also achieved the biggest shackles on his body. In the end, he has to break his own biggest shackles and completely get out of the so-called In the comfort zone, I got the golden man I wanted.

Squeezing out the cigarette in his hand, Wayne turned to look at Naomi Watts, who was chatting and laughing with Julia, and frowned slightly. The same reason applies to the Australian girl.

In this world, because of her own appearance, this woman has become famous prematurely for more than ten years. You must know that if she hadn't disrupted all of this, this woman would be considered a budding figure by taking off "Mulholland Drive", until "Midnight Murder". Bell" has officially gained a little fame, and the real fire is still that **** gorilla.

At that time, everyone was saying that Naomi Watts was a late bloomer. When she was nominated for an Oscar, most of her evaluations were based on years of accumulation and her superb acting skills.

Many people are praising her appearance at that time, and the words are "can hit". Even after the best time for a woman, she can still maintain her delicate face and hot body.

But not now, the earlier fame left an impression on Hollywood and even the world's fans, that is, the very delicate and beautiful face of the Australian actress, as well as the **** and charming figure. This is her biggest capital in commercial films, and it will also become the biggest obstacle to the Oscar stage.

Now is officially Naomi Watts' best age. The blond hair, beautiful face, and hot body that make the academy judges frown naturally are all obstacles that exist invisibly.

Unless you are like Charlize Theron, who frantically breaks all the screen images at one time, which is beyond the expectations of everyone in the world, otherwise, you basically don’t want to get the golden statuette at the peak of your appearance. think.

"Wayne."

After about half an hour, Nina had already collected a large pile of business cards of all kinds. James Cameron, who was finally busy, brought the hero and heroine of "Titanic" to the side of Wayne and others.

"Come to Austria, come to Leonardo DiCaprio." The truck driver smiled, which was very different from his usual image, and introduced the two actors around him sideways. "This is Kate Winslet, from England."

"Good evening, Mr. Greenberg." Compared with Xiao Lizi, Kate Winslet took the initiative to extend her right hand and greeted politely.

"Good evening, Ms. Winslet." Wayne took the woman's hand and nodded with a smile. "Your performance in 'Titanic' was amazing and impressed enough for me."

Came to Leonardo DiCaprio to wait for them to finish their chat, and also extended his hand politely. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Greenberg."

"Hello."

After a simple greeting, Xiao Lizi watched the truck driver sit down directly and started chatting casually with Wayne. His eyes were always full of surprise, and he secretly observed the Hollywood old man.

I am afraid that the most incredible thing about the hero and heroine of the big ship is the attitude of James Cameron at this time. Everyone knows that this guy is a violent temper. He usually doesn't color anyone and is very difficult to contact. But facing Wayne at this time, the truck driver seemed to have met an old friend. After sitting down, he casually chatted about various problems in the shooting.

Xiao Lizi observed for a while, and showed a thoughtful smile. He now deeply felt that if he wanted to gain the respect of the elders in this group, he must first have a position that matched them.

From those who can only watch from a distance, but dare not come up to say hello at will, it can be found that if they want to join the circle of these two elders and sit down and talk for a few words, they do not have a matching position of power, and they simply choose their own. disgrace.

Compared with the little plum who remained silent and observed, Kate Winslet was much bolder. After a while, she had already chatted with Naomi Watts. Even the two women, in a fairly short period of time, had already made an appointment to go shopping together.

"James is like a tyrant, and the crew tyrant is definitely not enough to describe him."

Even with the truck driver nearby, Kate Winslet wasn't too shy, ranting with Naomi Watts and Julia. "Nami, you don't know, there was a scene in the sea, I almost drowned in the artificial lake, and then lay in the hospital for more than a week because of pneumonia!"

"Oh, God!"

The expression of the black man is rich, coupled with the natural loud voice, Julia's exclamation, attracts everyone's attention. "Kate, luckily you're all right."

"Is Wayne that strict on the set too?"

Kate Winslet shrugged, glanced secretly at the tough face, and asked in a low voice, "Are all the top directors in their circles tyrants on the set?"

"Hey, Nami, you'd better tell the truth and don't let our English Rose misunderstand."

Hearing Kate Winslet's question, Wayne suddenly turned his head and made a joke with a cigarette in his mouth. His words caused laughter from several people, and everyone knew that he was joking.

"To be honest, that's not the case."

Posing his lips at the man, Naomi Watts waved his hand, fanned away the wafting smoke, and said, "Trust me, Wayne is not much better than James' temper. As long as he enters the crew , he will turn into an ice cube face, and there will be no expression on that face until the work is over. No matter how good you are, he will look at you blankly."

Speaking of this, the Australian actress coughed twice, straightened her face, put away all her expressions, and imitated Wayne's appearance at work. "Nami, listen, if your performance doesn't meet my requirements, I will let you keep filming until you meet my requirements! Do you understand? Go ahead and prepare, don't delay hundreds of people. Time is waiting for you!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"..."

Looking at the lifelike appearance of the Australian actress, in addition to Wayne himself, even James Cameron laughed.

In fact, several people present understood that directors who can reach their level must have their own special ways in their work. Wayne's ice cube face has brought pressure to hundreds of people in the entire crew, so why is James Cameron's temper tantrum?

It's just that one has an expressionless face and keeps a calm mind like a robot all the time.

"Any plans next?"

After laughing, Wayne seemed to have no intention of looking at the truck driver and asked casually.

"Hey, I'm not a workaholic like you."

James Cameron shook his head and took a sip of champagne. "On vacation, I'm going to the Atlantic Ocean for a diving vacation. I don't have any work plans for at least a year."

Speaking of which, he suddenly stared at the man beside him, grinned and said, "You're almost done with the work at hand, right? I rented a small island in the Pacific Ocean, do you want to stay together for two months."

"My work schedule is very full."

Shaking his head regretfully, Wayne leaned back in his chair and exhaled a large cloud of blue smoke. "The Flash will soon enter into intensive publicity, and the producer contract signed with Twentieth Century Fox also stipulates that it will be deeply involved in the publicity of "X-Men", as well as the third part of "The Matrix" things related to "Charlie's Angels", I can hardly take a long vacation before the summer vacation."

The people present are all senior people in the circle, and they understand that the work related to a movie usually makes the leader dizzy. They have to care about a few projects at the same time, which is scary to think about, and there is really no time for a long vacation.

Frowning, James Cameron raised his wine glass, touched him and sighed. "Damn, just like the rumors, you're an unstoppable workaholic!"

"I'm not like you, James."

He let out a long sigh and didn't care about the gazes of the people around him, Wayne said in a low voice, "I want to make as many films as possible while I'm young and energetic, and then wait until I feel less energetic. , I chose to slowly end the work at hand, simply retire early, and then enjoy life.”

"Shit, retirement? How old are you? Just want to go that far?"

Hearing the word retirement, the truck driver almost spit out the champagne, he looked at each other in disbelief, winked and joked: "If this word spreads to the outside world, I am afraid that tomorrow, the stock prices of Warner Bros. and Time Warner will plummet immediately. ."

It seemed that the truck driver was joking, but several people present knew that this was definitely not a joke. In the system of Time Warner, a media group, Warner Bros. plays the role of a cash cow, and its importance is self-evident.

However, Warner Bros. has been No. 1 in Hollywood for years in terms of revenue. It is self-evident how much Wayne has played a role. Now if he has the idea of ​​leaving, Warner Bros. from senior management to shareholders will be startled.

"Okay, no kidding."

The truck driver raised his wrist and glanced at the time, put away the smile on his face, and said, "I'll be very busy these days. In two weeks, I'll invite you to play football together, and we'll have a good chat when we get there."

"Ok."

Nodding happily, no one can refuse the invitation of the "King of the World", and Wayne is no exception. "It just so happens that I really have a special idea here, and I will chat with you when the time comes."

The two smiled and hugged again, and James Cameron took the hero and heroine of the big ship, got up and left together, and continued to socialize at the cocktail party tonight.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, Wayne's mind was spinning rapidly. No one wants to let go of a director like James Cameron, and he naturally doesn't want to see the other side make a movie for a few years.

As early as the beginning of the awards season, he had been thinking about the guarantee at the box office. There was no suitable director for a project, and now he was thinking about how to tempt the other party to shorten the vacation and pick up the director for Greenberg Studios. Come on, get that sci-fi movie out.

Apart from George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, there's no one better suited to sci-fi than the trucker. Originally, his earliest plan was to find a way to seduce Bang Bei. Compared with James Cameron, Michael Bay is obviously not cheap, and the price paid is also not small, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with preparing with both hands.

Seeing that it was getting late, just when Wayne stood up to sort out his suit and was about to leave here to go back to rest, two unexpected people came straight to them.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Greenberg."

As this year's new Oscar winner, Helen Hunt took the initiative to extend her hand and greeted politely.

Looking at the special pair in front of him, Wayne held the woman's hand and nodded. "you are welcome."

They all knew what Helen Hunt meant by saying thank you. The white reporter named Vitaly Seduk also harassed her at the end of the red carpet, but it didn't take long before this lewd reporter came. , The news of being flattened by Wayne, this news made many actresses feel extremely happy.

"This is my boyfriend, Christopher Rockencourt, from Europe, a descendant of an earl." Helen Hunt, a new actress, politely introduced the handsome man beside her. "Now his main job is to invest in movies in Hollywood, and he is also a banker and Formula 1 driver."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Greenberg."

The man who was introduced was very enthusiastic, shook hands with Wayne, and took the initiative to raise the wine glass in his hand.

"I'm a fan of yours, Mr. Greenberg. It's always been my dream to find a chance to meet you. God, you don't know how fascinated I am with your work."

Frowning slightly, Wayne instinctively felt uncomfortable for a while, but facing the enthusiastic man, he still smiled and raised his champagne glass, raised his head and took a sip.

"You know, Mr. Greenberg..."

"You can call me Wayne, my friends call me that." Wayne squinted and looked at the enthusiastic film investor in front of him. The instinct of a director is to face someone who is willing to spend a lot of money for a film. Don't be stingy with your friendship and goodwill, maybe you will need to find these people for investment at some time.

"Can you? That's great." Christopher Rockencourt was personable and comfortable with enthusiasm. "I heard that your studio has been producing film projects for the past two years. Wayne, if you have any financial difficulties, you can call me at any time. I am your die-hard movie fan, and I will do it as long as it is your work. support!"

"thanks."

It's hard not to have a good impression of the other party's performance. Although Wayne is not short of money now, he also knows that it is never a bad thing to be able to spend other people's money to let him borrow chicken and lay eggs, right?

"Then do it first, I'll ask you out when I have time."

"Ok, no problem."

Enthusiastic movie investors, who know what it means to be enough, and after a few chats, took the new actress and took the initiative to get up and leave.

"Ok, let's go back and rest."

Taking another look at the back of Christopher Rockencourt, and shaking his head vigorously, Wayne led the group and walked towards the elevator of the hotel, while whispering to Nina beside him, "I heard about this guy before. Movie investors?"

"heard about it."

The assistant nodded, recalled carefully, and reported in a low voice: "Descendants of European counts, businessmen, bankers, F1 racers, and film investors. In the past two years, they have been quite famous in the circle, and I heard that they invested in several films. It’s not clear whether it makes money or not for a low-cost film. Compared with the status of a film investor, what is more famous is that this guy’s star girlfriends keep on going.”

"Well, it's good to be an insider..."

Wayne nodded slightly, not thinking about the warm man who made him feel uncomfortable.
