"Originally, I planned to send "My Grand Greek Wedding" to Cannes for the exhibition, but I didn't expect them to kick out the post-production, so I chose the relatively more favorable Sundance Film Festival, but don't worry, even if I still have a film to make at that time, I will still go to Cannes to support you." Sean, who was driving along the esplanade, said to Naomi, who was sitting in the passenger seat and watching the seaside mirror.

The sea breeze blew through her hair, and the blonde strands kept curling, and even though the wide sunglasses covered a third of her face, and her expression could not be seen clearly, the charm of a mature woman was still obvious.

"Actually...... You don't have to. Naomi turned her head and took off her sunglasses, her pale green eyes with an indescribable look, "I'll go alone." ”

"That's not good, this role is something I recommend to you, and I've always thought or had a hunch that this movie will definitely bring you great honor, so I can't miss it, I have to witness this moment for myself." Sean said with a smile, then sighed inwardly.

He knew where Naomi's knot was, and how to fix it, he also knew, but what was missing now was time.

It's a pity that Naomi is neither Katie nor Kate, Katie can be coaxed by a few nice words, and she, who doesn't know Sean very well, naturally doesn't think that he will have anything to do with Julia. As for Kate, the tone has been set for their relationship and they will not interfere in each other's lives.

But they didn't see each other last month, because ...... Kate was pregnant, and Sean had a big jump when he heard the news, especially after hearing about the time from the crew of "Perfect Thief", he was even more frightened, because it was very close to the time when he and Kate were in the midst of the crew.

At that time, because the tone had been set, and Sean was leaving, Kate, who was completely let go, was powerless to resist his teasing, and she was tired of being together almost every night, and never wore a raincoat.

But after talking to Kate, Sean relaxed, because Kate's tone was calm, and if there was a problem, I am afraid that the other party would only be more worried than him. Of course, he didn't ask the question, not even a side-knock, after all, it would be quite rude to ask such a question at this time, and besides, Kate must know better than him.

Back to the topic, in short, for Naomi, Sean can only wait now, and when "Mulholland Drive" is released and brings a huge response, he trusts his instincts. So what we have to do now is to spend more time with her, coax her more, and make her adjust herself more, so that she can completely open up to him when the time comes, just like now.

"You've got it here?" Naomi asked, a little surprised, and looked around with a slight uneasiness.

The restaurant, which has no extra people except the waiters, is a little empty, with many candles lit and melodious violin music, even if the sky outside is not completely dark, it still gives a romantic feeling.

"Of course, I finally made some money, so I should enjoy it." Sean smiled and said, "Someone recommended me this restaurant with an ocean view, plus it's in San Diego, so I don't have to worry about being seen, so it's just right." ”

Naomi sighed lightly, judging from the way she looked at the beginning, she should have liked it very much, but ......

"Don't think about it so much, Nami," Sean grabbed her hand and smiled, not giving her a chance to think, "You know, I had to pick the one thing I did the most right two years ago, and that was to meet you." I'm really lucky, Nami, I was just a trickster then, but after getting to know you, I got my chances very quickly, and then I got more opportunities, and now I have my own production company, and I'm about to release my first movie, and you're my lucky star. ”

"When did you become interested in the occult?" Naomi asked, but her face flushed slightly, as if she was a little stunned and shy because she remembered something.

"By the way, I heard that a lot of people are not optimistic about the movie you made." She suddenly smiled and asked as she changed the subject.

Sean couldn't help coughing dryly, but seeing that Naomi's mood had improved, he had to continue: "It's okay, this movie was very popular at the Sundance Film Festival. ”

"Really? But I've heard that I haven't won a single award. Naomi continued to lift the bar, her eyes crooked, as if she was happy to see him like this.

"At least the word of mouth is very good, and the movies that win awards may not necessarily be good at the box office." Sean said helplessly, while secretly cursing the New York Post in his heart.

That's right, it's the damn tabloid thing again, and with March already halfway through, Miramax has already started working on the promotion of "My Grand Greek Wedding". Posters and everything started to be posted, trailers were started on TV, and of course, it was some relatively rubbish time.

In addition, the official website is almost ready, and the advantage of being located on the west coast is that IT talents have a lot of talent, so although the website is simple, it is also beautiful and generous. Then, whenever someone Googles weddings and wedding-related things, news about the film will appear, and at the same time, Miramax also posts various topics on the official website and has them reproduced everywhere on the Internet.

For example, she received numerous word-of-mouth at the Sundance Film Festival, or is this the screenwriter and actress Nia? Vadalas's semi-autobiographical work, and how much work she put into bringing the story to the big screen, and so on. And this is one of last year's youngest Oscar nominees for Best Actor, Sean? The news of Don's first work as a producer is also among them.

Maybe for many people, this gimmick is not so attractive, after all, Sean has only had two works in the past year, and he has been in the entertainment industry for a short time, and his popularity is not as good as that of those veteran actors, but if it falls in the eyes of some people, such as those reporters of the New York Post, it is very valuable.

"Sean, who started as an actor in '98 and made a name for himself with a "Ripley Genius"? Don, who began to change careers and became a producer, not only invested in the production of a low-budget aiqing comedy, but also participated in the Sundance Film Festival. It seems that the young actor is not willing to be just an actor, but he is too impetuous, the producer is not so easy to do, and not having enough experience will only mess things up. However, he was obviously carried away by a little success as an actor, thinking that he could do anything, but he didn't know that aiqing comedy was the most difficult movie subject to figure out, even if "My Grand Greek Wedding" won a good reputation at the Sundance Film Festival, it didn't mean anything, how could a person who didn't even be an actor make a good movie? ”

As always, well, the seemingly serious but sarcastic tone, a thousand words turned into a sentence, you are a guy who hasn't even been an actor and wants to be a producer? Want to make a movie? No kidding!

Well, that's a real question, even Drew who started his own production company at the age of 19? Barrymore, when she officially made her own film, was also a few years later, and before that she had been an actor for more than ten years. Sean has been an actor for less than three years, and has already gained a firm foothold and accumulated a certain popularity with "The Talented Ripley", and has also been nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, this speed has surprised and envied many people, and now not only has established a production company, but also produced a low-budget aiqing comedy and gained a lot of reputation at the Sundance Film Festival, it is normal to be jealous.

Therefore, when the "New York Post" found out about this, it was not to blame them for making a big fuss, anyway, they didn't say anything dead, even if the movie box office was good, it could be said that it was the credit of other producers, Sean was just a name, and the discipline of the media or the discipline of the tabloids was like this.

So, with the "New York Post" taking the lead, and the scandal between Sean and Julia has not yet dissipated, even if they respectively said that they were just ordinary friends with each other, and the crew of "Ocean's Eleven" testified, and the slightly famous newspapers did not follow up, but the tabloids were always noisy, so they followed up and attacked again.

"This is an incomprehensible move, as an actor, or a young actor, he had better do his job first"

"It's a terrible choice, there are too many themes like aiqing comedy, and the audience is already aesthetically fatigued, I bet that this movie will be offline in three days at most."

"It looks like he just wants to try his hand at being a producer, a guy who is proud of his achievements, but unfortunately he doesn't have that much luck this year."

There are so many reports like this, and even some well-known media have joined in, such as the "Los Angeles Times" mentioned a few words: "There are many actors who seem to be a little unable to write after becoming famous, and Sean, who had a good performance in "The Genius Ripley" and was shortlisted for last year's Oscar for Best Actor? Tang, last year, there were not many works that could be done, except for the low-budget thriller "The Grim Reaper", only "Breaking Baby", which was released at the end of the year, and the latter was just a simple supporting role.

Now that we know that his energy should be focused on the movie "My Grand Greek Wedding", no one could have imagined that he would set up a production company so quickly and make movies so quickly. Sean seems to think he's up to the job, and it seems like he's doing a pretty good job, and the film received a good reputation after participating in the Sundance Film Festival in January, but the audience at the Sundance Film Festival is not a substitute for all audiences, so it's hard to say what the outcome of Sean's attempt will be. ”

As one of the three most famous newspapers in the United States, they naturally investigated a little more clearly, so the fact that Sean set up his own production company was exposed, which in turn provided ammunition for those tabloids.
