"Hey! Director Chris Deng. ”

John had just finished chatting with Peggy and Ariana when two white men walked up to him. One of them, the bearded man he knew, was the truck driver who stood on the Oscar podium with a golden figure in his hand and shouted that I was the king of the world, and as for the other white man, Nancy also quickly told him in his ear.

"On the left is Tom Rothman, CEO of Fox Films, and on the right is the great director James Cameron. ”

"Hello President Rothman, Director Cameron. John held out his hand enthusiastically.

"Congratulations on the release of the movie, director Chris Deng. Tom Rothman shook John's hand.

"I wish the film a big hit. Cameron then shook John's hand.

"Thank you, thank you!" John's face was almost frozen with laughter today.

"Hopefully, after the premiere, I hope I have some time to talk to you. Tom Rothman didn't go around the bush and said directly.

"Oh! I wonder if there's anything I can help with?" John is not stupid, Tom Rothman and Cameron have never been in contact, and the two of them can come to the premiere together of course not because of relationship, let alone because of face, John really has no face in Hollywood now.

"I listened to the soundtrack of Forrest Gump and Stealing Love, and the melodies in them are great, so I wanted you to write the theme song and interlude for my new film. Cameron said bluntly.

"Oh, no problem, let's find a place to sit down and have a good chat after the premiere. John smiled and shook hands with Tom Rothman and Cameron again, ending the conversation for the time being.

Nancy then took John around the screening room for more than half an hour, John found his place and sat down, ending interpersonal communication, Audrey Hepburn on the side saw him sit down and asked with a smile: "How is it, is interpersonal communication more tiring than making movies." ”

"My face is stiff today. John shook his head helplessly, if he could choose, he would rather stand behind the camera than stand in the screening hall to socialize, but publicity is also one of the director's jobs, not to mention that he is also a producer.

After the red carpet outside the theater, the reporters handed over their camera equipment and walked into the theater in turn at the request of the staff, and when all the reporters entered, fans with tickets for the premiere also began to line up to check their tickets.

In the crowd, Eve Hugo was very excited with the tickets, and she rushed $1,000 to attend the premiere, and flew from New York to Los Angeles.

Of course, there are many people like her, in fact, the fans who can get tickets to the premiere have spent a lot of money, and there are 2,200 seats in the screening room, and in addition to 200 seats for the film production team, John only gives 200 seats to reporters, film critics, friends, peers, plus uninvited guests like Charles. He contributed all the remaining 1,800 seats, including 800 for AT&T, 300 for Starbucks Coffee, 300 for Nike, 200 for IBM, and 200 for Pepsi.

So these fans with tickets either rushed the phone bill or bought shoes, either rushed the membership or bought the computer, anyway, the fans who can appear here are die-hard fans.

"Miss, please show your ticket. ”

"Okay. ”

Eve Hugo substituted the ticket.

After the ticket inspector skillfully checked the tickets, he picked up a ribbon from the table, looked at Eve Hugo, and smiled: "Miss, please stretch out your left hand." ”

Eve Hugo didn't know what the ticket inspector was up to, but she obediently stretched out her left hand.

"This is a colorful ribbon specially made by "Forrest Gump" to thank every fan who supports public welfare, it represents dedication and gratitude. The ticket inspector explained as he tied the ribbon around Eve Hugo's wrist.

This is John's idea, as long as you buy a ticket to the movie "Forrest Gump" or have a ticket to the premiere, you will get a seven-color ribbon with the logo of the three small palms of the Foundation Without Borders, as well as a slogan.

"The world is beautiful with you. ”

Eve Hugo raised her wrist and looked at the colorful ribbon and smiled, dedication is indeed a thing that can make people happy.

Just as John's fans entered the theater one after another, waiting for the film to start, an opening ceremony was also being staged at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and Michael Ovitz, one of the organizers, was interviewed by reporters with a sunny face.

"President Ovitz, "The Shawshank Redemption" premiered on the same day as "Vulgar" and "Forrest Gump", and it was released on the same day, who do you think will win the weekly box office champion?"

"Anyway, it won't be Forrest Gump. ”

Michael Ovitz turned and left.

"President Ovitz, I just received the news that Director John Chris Deng of the Los Angeles Theater said in front of reporters that "Forrest Gump" will not only win the weekly box office champion, but also sit on the annual box office champion, what do you think about this matter?" The reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" deliberately said John's words to provoke Michael Ovitz for fear that the world would not be chaotic.

And Michael Ovitz, who had already left on the side, heard the reporter say this, and immediately turned back, and said angrily in front of hundreds of reporters: "He is dreaming, as long as there is a day of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Vulgar", "Forrest Gump" will never win the annual box office champion." If "Forrest Gump" can win the box office of the year, I will kiss the ass of the donkey in front of the national audience. ”

"Wow!"

When the people who eat melons heard Michael Ovitz's words, they immediately looked at each other, they just wanted to provoke Michael Ovitz and get some news to go back to hype, but they didn't expect Michael Ovitz to be so unprovoked, if "Forrest Gump" accidentally won the annual box office championship, the picture would ...... It's just beautiful.

Harvey Weinstein, who followed, was naturally asked the same question by reporters.

"President Weinstein, who do you think will win the weekly box office championship in the three movies "The Shawshank Redemption", "Vulgar", and "Forrest Gump"?"

"I think the weekly box office champion must be "The Shawshank Redemption" or "Vulgar". ”

"But President Weinstein, I just received the news that director John Chris Deng at the Los Angeles Theater said in front of reporters that "Forrest Gump" will not only win the weekly box office championship, but also sit on the annual box office championship, what do you think about this matter?" The reporter of the "Los Angeles Times" felt that it was not too exciting to let Michael Ovitz kiss the ass of the donkey alone, and it would be much better if he could pull Harvey Weinstein.

When a group of reporters heard that their colleagues from the Los Angeles Times had raised this question again, they immediately looked at Harvey Weinstein with a blank eye, expecting Harvey Weinstein to be with Michael Ovitz.

The two giants of Hollywood kiss the ass of a donkey, this kind of thing is simply not too exciting.

But the journalists' ideas ultimately fell through, and Harvey Weinstein and John didn't have such a deep feud, so they didn't overreact.

"To this question, I can only say that Director Chris Deng is daydreaming. ”

Harvey Weinstein left the interview area without looking back.

A group of reporters could only cough and sigh and secretly exclaim pity.
