Chapter 253: Stupid Things
The second-hand Ford made a few muffled noises, and then stopped abruptly, although wearing a seat belt, but George was sitting in the driver's seat. Northam's chest was still aching from the ribs because of the abrupt halt of the vehicle.
Unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, lifted the front hood of the car emitting faint smoke and took a few looks. Offon cursed a few words that began with f, looked around, and was less than a kilometer away from the "Island Cry" premiere theater, so he had to use his strength to push the car to a parking space on the side of the road, and then took out a satchel containing a camera and tape recorder from the car and rushed to the "Island Cry" premiere theater on foot.
George at this time. Northon no longer has the gentlemanly demeanor of the suit and leather shoes of half a year ago, wearing a dark gray jacket with no zippers on the upper body, some loose jeans on the bottom, and the stubble heel on his face that does not shave makes him look a little untouched.
Because of the storm attacking "Dark War" in July, he, a film critic who was originally a little famous, was not only banned by most Hollywood studios, but also lost his lucrative job.
Although before the accident, George. Northen earns more than $100,000 a year, but like most Americans, George. Northam also has the habit of spending in advance. After losing his job and the studio's PR income, he went bankrupt within a few months, and not only was his apartment in Beverly Hills repossessed by the bank, but he also had to sell his original sports car to pay off his debts.
Premiere magazine fired him under pressure from Columbia, so some other movie-related magazines in Hollywood certainly didn't dare to hire him.
For the sake of life. George. Northon had to get a job at a newspaper called Hollywood Online. The newspaper sounds like a high-end name, though. But not even the Hollywood Reporter or the Hollywood Observer. That's a gossip tabloid, and George. Northon is now a reporter for Hollywood Online, to put it bluntly, paparazzi.
Although he was paid a monthly salary from Hollywood Online and occasionally published film reviews, George Brown. Northson can still get a monthly income of more than $3,000, but the salary he earns from running around every day is less than one-fifth of what he used to earn by publishing a few film reviews easily.
Every time I get bored because of this huge gap in life, George. Norson will emerge Nicole. Kidman's pretty face.
If it hadn't been for the hateful woman I had met. He can still live a decent and easy life now, why is he reduced to now, living in a small apartment in Burbank, driving tired like a dog every day and running around Los Angeles with those little stars, many times running around for a day, without any gain, and being scolded by the fat pig-like editor-in-chief.
Remembering Nicole. Kidman, George. Naturally, Northon thought of Eric again, and soon after that incident, Nicole became the heroine of Eric's new film. Although many newspapers advertise Nicole. How good Kidman is. How to get lucky. Other newspapers published details of how Eric selected the Australian girl from a pool of audition actresses.
But what happened that night was George. Norson remembers it clearly. Nicole. Kidman and Drew. Barrymore obviously knew her, so it was impossible for her not to know Eric. Williams.
Therefore, George. At one point, Northon was tempted to break the news to the media that things weren't what they saw them to be, and that the woman must have been with Eric. Williams has a secret to tell, and she was able to get the heroine of "Sleepless in Seattle", and she must be with Eric. Williams made some dirty deals.
However, firstly, he did not have any evidence, and secondly, he was convicted of attacking Eric. It hasn't been long since Williams' "Dark War" was banned, and even if the news broke to the media, most newspapers probably wouldn't believe it. Even if a gossip tabloid Kenden came out, then people would think that he was throwing dirt on the young director because he was banned, and he might even be at risk of being prosecuted. Northon had to bury the matter in his heart.
Reminiscing about what has happened in the past few months, George. It took him a few minutes to walk to this posh movie theater on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, where the premiere of "Island Cry" takes place this evening. Of course, George. Mr. Northam could no longer sit in the cinema and receive a PR check afterwards as the invited critics did.
He is now not even qualified to attend the press conference after the film, so he can only squeeze on the red carpet with many paparazzi reporters, waiting for the film's director, starring and other important people to appear, hoping to get some revelations from the other party.
If you had a choice, George. Norson will definitely not come to the premiere of this movie, after all, because of the heart of Nicole. Kidman's hatred didn't even have any good feelings for Eric, otherwise he wouldn't have been dizzy and turned his anger at Nicole's "Dark War" directed by Eric. But today is October 30th, and his interview assignment for this month has not yet been completed, and if he can't submit the manuscript tomorrow, the harsh editor-in-chief will definitely deduct his salary. Northam now had to endure the disgust in his heart to attend the premiere.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the red carpet laid in front of the theater was crowded with dense crowds on both sides.
Harrison. Ford, Tom. Hanks, Kim. Basinger, Melanie. Griffith, Julia. Roberts......
Hollywood stars appeared on the red carpet one after another, causing fans to scream.
George. Like the other paparazzi who were held off the cordon, Northon shouted hoarsely to the stars who calmly walked the red carpet, hoping that they would answer a few questions while posing for a photo, but they were destined to get little response.
Wasting an entire roll of film and not getting anything useful, George. Northon cursed anxiously in his heart, put on a new film, and looked intimately leaning against Bruce. Willie on Demi, who has just walked the red carpet. Moore, hoping that the actress in the bandeau gown would be able to fall hard when she went up the steps, and it was best to step on the corner of her skirt and tear the bandeau dress off, so that he would have the topic of the press release, and he could call it a day directly, and no longer have to endure the crowding and noise here.
It's a pity that this 'good' wish is destined to be fulfilled by no lustful passing angel to help him. Moore and husband Bruce. Willie quickly stepped up the steps and walked into the cinema.
As soon as the backs of the two disappeared, the other end of the red carpet resounded with the cheers and screams of onlookers. Northon took a hard look and heard Eric. Williams's name, though irresistibly in his heart, produced a strong anti-feeling. But the experience of these months has worn him to the point of being completely devoid of arrogance. Like the other paparazzi around him, Northson quickly cheered up, hoping to stop Eric. Williams answered a few questions.
Around the corner appeared Eric. The figure of Williams, dressed in a modest black gown with a faint smile on his face, waved his hand to the fans on both sides from time to time. And the petite woman who walked over with Eric by the arm was none other than Virginia, the heroine of "Island Cry". Madsen.
At a distance of seven or eight meters, the paparazzi shouted frantically at Eric.
"Eric, can you stop and take a picture?"
"Eric, look here, look here!"
“……”
Eric took Virginia to the press area, stopped at the right time, and let go of Virginia next to her so that the girl could pose freely and get a lot of exposure, which could play a good role in promoting Virginia's fame.
"Eric, can you lean in and take a picture with Ms. Madsen?"
"Eric ......"
The reporters barked again dissatisfied.
Standing on the red carpet, Eric smiled and shook his head, even if many people knew about his relationship with Virginia, and even many gossip tabloids were unscrupulously fabricated scandals between the two people, but Eric would not take the initiative to provide material for these people.
There was a click, and the clever paparazzi knew that Eric was leaving soon, and hurriedly stretched out the tape recorder in his hand and asked Eric.
However, no matter how these people asked, Eric stretched out his arm very gentlemanly, grabbed Virginia, and planned to enter the movie theater.
Seeing that such a great opportunity was missed again, George. Northon had an idea and shouted, "Mr. Williams, don't you think it's a very stupid thing to put "Island Cry" on November 1? ”
Because with all his might, George. Northon's voice instantly overpowered everyone.
Eric paused, turned his head to look for it, and quickly locked on to George. Northam.
Although he knew the name of the film critic who wrote the film review to attack "Dark War", Eric had never met him in person, so Eric showed an interested look in his eyes at this time.
Seeing Eric stop, the paparazzi behind the cordon went crazy again, and the click of the shutter sounded wildly.
Eric let go of Virginia and took a few steps to this side. Northon said, "Were you talking just now?" ”
"Yes," said George. Northon nodded slightly, although Eric is young, he does not lack the aura that a successful person should have. Because of what he had done before, Northson couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart. (To be continued......)
