Chapter 102

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

Men and women in gorgeous clothes surrounded them, squeezing the defense line opened by the media reporters ahead, trying hard to get closer and closer to the red carpet.

The premiere of "Raging" was prepared in various ways, and naturally showed its excitement.

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

Mel Gibson, Coen brothers, Kevin Costner...

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

While pressing the shutter, the photographer asked his colleague next to him: "When did the director of this movie get in touch with these people? Didn't he say he came from France? Such a connection?"

I thought that the cast of "Furious" was starry-blank. Except for Nicholas Cage, the entire cast lacked gimmicks that make people shine. I also thought that today's red carpet was just like this, not awkward or embarrassing, but I didn't expect that it was still a constant feeling of surprise. Now even Tom Cruise came to support the show. This immediately made everyone's enthusiasm rise.

There will be enough press releases and topics to write tomorrow.

"Don't you know that this is the work of Paramount Pictures or Caa? Just a director, even if he has a wide connection, can he still invite so many people who are even bigger than him? You don't think about it. Are all Caa's signing artists?"

As an old man who has been in the industry for many years and is also a very experienced reporter in the entertainment section of the New York Daily. He continued to say to his colleague who was responsible for taking photos: "And don't you know that Paramount Pictures has stuffed money to our supervisor? Even if the red carpet is really boring, don't you still have to write a notice and publish it."

"But there will be content to write in this way, and there will be enough gimmicks. Otherwise, the sales of newspapers will decline and the editor-in-chief will blame us."

"Okay, take a few more good photos."

As she was speaking, the audience behind her suddenly burst into shouts, but it was Golden Globe Award winner Nicole Kidman who walked onto the red carpet. This actress, whose acting skills and beauty were recognized, obviously had many supporters. She could vaguely hear some fanatical fans expressing their love loudly and shouting to marry her.

It's really a daydream, oh no, it's already night, it's time to dream.

After Nicole Kidman walked past, the red carpet became much quieter. The person who walked behind was obviously not very familiar with the movie fans, but under the mobilization of the host, he also gave him more comfort than flattery.

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

Wearing a straight suit, Lehman walked onto the red carpet casually.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of cry from the audience at the scene reached his ears.

The flash lights on both sides are on, which makes people feel particularly dazzling.

Holding the light, Lehman couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Even when someone in the journalist areas on both sides greeted him, he just pretended that he didn't hear it, and he wouldn't stop and cooperate with the posture to take photos.

Hurrying into the interview area, Johnson, the agent who had been waiting for a long time, walked to Lehman faster than interviewing reporters, so as to remind himself that the most valuable customers in the future should not say the wrong thing.

"Director Lehman, do you have confidence in your work? Can you beat "007: Die on a Day" released in the same period?"

Lehman felt that there was still a slight sting of pain in his eyes. The visual stimulation of countless flash lights illuminating at the same time not only made the light shine like daytime, but also made him, who was surrounded in the center, suffer.

But even so, when Lehman encountered a reporter's question, he still smiled on the surface and replied very politely and affirmatively: "Of course I will be more optimistic about my work."

After hearing such a confident answer, the reporter was satisfied. He had even thought about the title of tomorrow's press release: shocked, all the works in the "007" series are garbage.

Yesterday, when our reporter interviewed director Lehman, he learned...

"Director Lehman, after you made a work like "Three Idiots Make a Fight for Bollywood", you then made a work with a completely different theme or directing style from the previous work. Do you have any special ideas about this?" Since it was the premiere, the media that received the money, oh, no, there were many news media invited to support it, and the reporters on the scene definitely did not intend to end the question in a hasty way, so another reporter hurriedly asked again.

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

However, this time, the words of avoidance and pleasingness were obviously not enough to satisfy the reporters on the scene. Then, someone immediately asked a question, "Not long ago, Brad Pitt mentioned in an interview that you originally wanted to invite him to play one of the characters, but for some reason, it was replaced by Nicholas Cage. Is that true? Or do you think Brad Pitt is not as good as Nicholas Cage at all? Otherwise, why would you change the candidate temporarily?"

Lehman looked over the sound and found that he didn't know him, just like the one who asked the previous question.

Well, in fact, he was very sensible and had no contact with all the reporters present.

The other party's question was obviously trying to expand the gap and provoke the controversy that exists in this issue, and create more topical gimmicks.

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

"The Sgt. is a veteran who has experienced the battlefield. The first thing an actor has to do is to match the character's setting. In fact, in my initial conception..."

Lehman is not stupid, so he would not directly say which actor is good or which actor is bad. Isn’t this offending people for no reason? Even if Brad Pitt proposed too much, leading to the failure of cooperation between the two parties, this is not a reason for Lehman to discredit him. He does not dare to do so.

"Brad Pitt was quite in line with the audition notice, but his schedule was not easy to coordinate, so... I couldn't wait, so I had to find other actors who are suitable for the roles in the film."

"So, although your goal was Brad Pitt at the beginning, he did not regard him as the most absolute choice. You actually have many goals." The reporter immediately grasped the key points and asked again.

"That's right." Lehman nodded immediately, lying without any trace. "I have a lot of people in my heart. Later, when I watched "The Wind Whisperer" again, I finally confirmed that Nicholas Cage will play the role."

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

Leaving this sentence, Lehman turned around and walked out of the interview area.

When walking towards the inside of the theater, Johnson, the agent behind him, quickly caught up and immediately explained: "Brad Pitt did not take the initiative to break out this news. We have received a notice. It should be MGM Home Entertainment Film disclosed to the outside world that it was reported that when Rad Pitt was attending an event, he was seized by a reporter to ask questions. Such an occasion made it difficult for him to avoid it."

"I understand." Lehman replied calmly, unable to see any impact.

After arriving at the screening hall, a hypocritical smile appeared on his face.

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

No matter what, they were able to attend today, which gave Lehman face.

These cumbersome interpersonal communication and possible connections also require careful care.

After walking around, it took nearly half an hour. Lehman finally left the polite crowd and found Ryan, Thomas and others who were sitting in a secluded place.

"Are you finished?"

Ryan and Thomas were chatting, and saw Lehman sitting in his seat with a tired expression, and couldn't help but tease him.

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

"Haha, do you have more effort?" Ryan continued to smile unkindly. Although Thomas was silent, the joking meaning on his face was particularly obvious.

"It's fine if you two don't go to help me. You sit leisurely and your mouth is so straightforward." Lehman said speechlessly, suddenly remembering something again, and then asked, "Where is George, hasn't he arrived yet?"

"Oh, he went to manage his relationships and fond of favors. Didn't you see him just now?"

"Maybe, there are so many people, and after greetings, my face is frozen. How can I pay attention to so much?"

At this time, the red carpet outside was experiencing the noise of the opening movie fans, and the first half of the stars gathered, and the mid-term starring joked, and it was inevitable that the momentum would be insufficient.

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

Under the leadership of the host, everyone was passing through the theater in an orderly manner, completely ignoring the existence of this group of people.

The behind-the-scenes filming teams were used to this, and they calmly passed the passage first and went inside.

Eva Green was wearing a lilac and very gorgeous evening dress, enduring the coldness brought by the weather, but she didn't expect that the first red carpet show in her life would be so bad.

She looked lonely, but she still kept energetic, proudly wearing high heels and smiling on her face.
