The MTV Movie Awards is an international film award established by MTV Global Music Television last year - 1992, and is also known as the "Golden Popcorn Award" because the trophy of this award is designed in the shape of a popcorn bucket that audiences must have when watching a movie.

On the surface, the audience votes to determine the attribution of the awards, which gives the MTV Movie Awards a strong entertainment and creates a warm, relaxed and absolutely eye-catching atmosphere.

These are also some basic information that Duke deliberately learned after preparing to attend the awards ceremony.

In mid-January, the second edition of the MTV Movie Awards kicked off at the Los Angeles Music Hall, and although this is only the second time it has been held, the awards ceremony is definitely not lacking in media audiences because the nominees are all popular films and movie stars, and because MTV TV and the Viacom Group behind it and Time Warner have promoted it.

Just like last year's biggest winner was "Terminator 2", which is very different from academic awards such as the Oscars, the acting school will always be a supporting role here, and the most popular people are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, silly big sister Julia Roberts, all-American sweetheart Meg Ryan and other idols.

"Are you nervous?"

In the back seat of the rented luxury car, Duke looked at Naomi Watts, who was wearing a bright silver suspender dress next to him, and said with certainty, "Honey, you're nervous. ”

"This is my first red carpet!"

With her palm gently brushing her not plump breasts, Naomi took two deep breaths in succession, "It's also my most important catwalk so far." ”

"It was my first red carpet as well."

As soon as the car stopped, Duke pushed the door open, walked down first, ignored the glare of the flashing lights, turned around and pulled Naomi Watts out of the car, and when her hand was on the crook of his arm, the flashing lights lit up noticeably faster.

"Control zhì good your feelings."

Waving casually to the press and audience sections, Duke whispered to the stone-like blonde next to him as he walked, "If you fall, you'll make the headlines of tomorrow's entertainment section." ”

Fortunately, Naomi Watts is a smart person and wouldn't be stupid enough to make headlines in this way.

"Should we go and sign for them?" Naomi saw that there were many people in the audience area holding up the poster of "Speed of Life and Death", "Shall we go over? ”

"If you don't mind signing the poster of Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman......" Duke shrugged slightly, not stopping at all, "you can pass." ”

Although it is a newly established award, MTV's appeal is strong enough, and when he walked quickly across the red carpet, Duke saw many big-name stars temporarily staying in front of Chandler Hall, such as Mel Gibson, who was nominated for Best Actor for "Lethal Weapon 3", such as Sharon Stone, who became popular with "Instinct", and Sean Connery, who is known as the most handsome old man in history......

Along the red carpet, Naomi Watts also showed a certain ability to adjust her mind, and as she approached the interview area, Duke could clearly feel her breathing gradually steadied and her stiff smile softened.

For a woman who has been fighting for several years in the entertainment industry in Japan, Australia and North America, dreaming of fame and being frustrated one after another, it is not easy to do this.

"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

As soon as she walked into the interview area, the MTV reporter immediately walked over, and then looked at Naomi Watts in some surprise, obviously not knowing her.

"This is Miss Naomi Watts." Duke introduced, "A very good actor, the heroine of my new film. ”

The reporter immediately changed to a warm smile, "Hello, Miss Watts......"

Then she praised her appearance and clothing.

"Director Rosenberg, when I shake your hand......"

The MTV reporter embodies the entertainment spirit of the movie awards very well, and the words spoken in the interview are all jokes, "I always think of the continuous explosions in 'Life and Death', and I feel like my adrenaline is starting to rise when my hand comes into contact with you." ”

"In the film industry, if a director wants to make a good name," Duke deliberately changed his tone to a very strict tone, "it has to be adrenaline." ”

Naomi Watts and the reporter across from her couldn't help but laugh.

"I heard you're working on a new movie."

Warners has done a great job of doing a good job, "Can you rate you or your new movie?" ”

"It can be summed up in one sentence......," Duke cocked up his right index finger, "Naturally belligerent and fiery everywhere." ”

After speaking, Duke glanced at Naomi Watts, who was a little restless next to him, and took a half step back, since he brought her to the awards ceremony, he always had to give some sweetness.

"Miss Watts, as the heroine of Rosenberg's new film,"

It's a pity that the reporter didn't give much face, and the question asked was still related to Duke: "What do you think of working with the director?" ”

"This is the second time we've worked together." Naomi Watts is not stupid, she stands in front of the camera, showing her best side, ""Life and Death He surprised everyone, I can't believe that my first film in an official role grossed more than $130 million in North America and more than $350 million worldwide, which is a great honor for me, and it is an honor for me to work with Duke." ”

She wasn't too clever either, and after a few words about herself, she quickly pulled the topic back to Duke.

"Duke is the best young director I've ever met, on set, with a fearless momentum in every move, and even the words can send a bold and confident signal, he's like a fighter who never admits defeat, I think he's an artist who is good at causing damage!"

"An artist who is good at wreathing!"

Hearing Naomi Watts's words, Duke felt his eyelids jump, and it is estimated that after the release of the next film, many people will probably regard him as a saboteur.

"Excuse me......"

Even the cool breeze blowing at night can't resist the fire of gossip burning by reporters, "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?" ”

"We're good friends," Naomi Watts smiles sweetly, "and trusted partners." ”

Despite being the director of the many nominated films, the interview was unlikely to last long, and after a brief interview, Duke saw Naomi Watts put her hand in the crook of her arm again, turning and walking towards Chandler Hall.

At the front of the hall, there is already a forbidden area for media audiences, and many people choose to pause and say hello to people they know, after all, the connections in this circle sometimes play an unexpected role.

"Hi, Duke."

Uma Thurman, who was holding a man, happened to see them and walked over, her eyes naturally fell on Naomi Watts, and teased, "You are a good match." ”

"She's the heroine of my new film." Duke replied casually, without explanation.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Uma Thurman's temporary partnership with Keanu Reeves has apparently ended, and the man she is holding is still under the impression that Duke should be Uma Thurman's first husband because of a certain upcoming movie, if memory serves.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Oldman."

After Uma Thurman's introduction, Duke shook hands with the other party, "Your performance in '400 Years of Love' is impressive, and I hope we can have a chance to work together in the future." ”

"I hope so." Gary Oldman politely replied.

This is an absolute personality acting school, and the salary in the future has not been very high, if there is a chance, Duke really wants to cooperate with him.

"Look at Gary Oldman's eyes......"

After the two had walked a little farther away, Naomi leaned into his ear and said, "It's even more fiery than when you look at me." ”

"Honey, I promise......" Duke lowered his voice, "I won't look at Gary Oldman if you all strip naked, all my eyes will be on you." ”

Entering Chandler Hall, some time before the ceremony began, the Duke duo were guided by a staff member into the side VIP lounge, where most of the guests gathered for the ceremony, and the stars shone bright enough to drown out the lights outside the concert hall.

Just like every industry, there are always countless small circles in a large circle, and the same is true for the VIP lounge, where stars, directors and producers from different backgrounds and crews are scattered into several small groups, whispering about the gossip in the circle, upcoming films, projects to be promoted in the future, etc., maybe the initial plan of a certain film is to reach a preliminary consensus in the communication on this occasion.

has just entered Hollywood and is concentrating on his directorial career, Duke knows a lot of people, but there are few people who know him, most of them nod their heads to each other, there are no familiar people to introduce, and it is impossible to rashly break into those small circles, so he simply took Naomi Watts to a quieter place.

In the crowd, which was no more than fifty feet away from them, two equally unruly men were sitting together.

"Sean......" Mel Gibson said to the old man beside him, "look who's over there!" A hairy boy who has rejected your kindness. ”

"An idiot who doesn't know the height of the sky."

As rumored, this alcoholic, addicted. medicine and the most handsome old man in history with a short temper is definitely not a generous person, "Can you count the directors who fell into the abyss after the success of a Hollywood movie?" ”

The two men have been close lately because of their shared views on the issue of Scottish independence, and Mel Gibson nodded in agreement, "He will be one of them." ”

"Interested in going over and talking to him?" Sean Connellier rubbed his beard and a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Such a small role." Mel Gibson pursed his lips, "A man used to exalt him." ”

Habitually pulling the collar of his dress, Sean Connery put on a polite smile and strode towards Duke.
