The second-hand Ford made a few muffled noises, and then came to a sudden stop. Although he was wearing a seat belt, George Northon, who was sitting in the driver's seat, still suffered from chest pains because of the sudden stop of the vehicle.
He unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. He lifted the front hood that was emitting a faint smog and took a few glances. George Northam cursed a few words starting with f. He looked around. The premiere movie theater was less than one kilometer away, so I had to push the car to a parking space on the side of the road with all my strength, then took out the satchel with the camera and tape recorder from the car, and walked to the "Small Island Cry" "Go to the theater for the premiere.
At this time, George Northam no longer had the gentlemanly demeanor of a suit and leather shoes half a year ago. He was wearing a dark gray jacket with no zipper on his upper body, and some loose jeans on his lower body. There was no clean-shaven stubble on his face. He looked a little relaxed.
Because of the incident of attacking "Dark War" in July, he, a well-known film critic, was not only blocked by most Hollywood film companies, but also lost his lucrative job.
Although George Northam's annual income was more than 100,000 US dollars before the accident, like most Americans, George Northam also had the habit of spending ahead of time. This habit caused him to go bankrupt within a few months after losing his job and the public relations income of the film company 『√』. Not only was his apartment in Beverly Hills repossessed by the bank, he also had to sell his original sports car to pay off his debts. .
"Premiere" magazine was pressured by Columbia to fire him. Therefore, some other film-related magazines in Hollywood must not dare to hire him.
for life. George Northam had to find a job at a newspaper called Hollywood Online. Although the name of this newspaper sounds very high-end. But not even newspapers like The Hollywood Reporter or The Hollywood Observer. This is a gossip tabloid, and George Northam is now a reporter for "Hollywood Online". To put it bluntly, he is a paparazzi.
Although the monthly salary of "Hollywood Online" and the occasional remuneration for publishing film reviews, George Northam can still get a monthly income of more than 3,000 U.S. dollars. The salary he received was less than one-fifth of what he earned from publishing a few film reviews easily.
Every time he was bored by such a huge gap in life, George Northam would show Nicole Kidman's pretty face.
If it wasn't for meeting that nasty woman at the beginning. He can still live a decent and relaxed life now, but why did he end up now, living in a small apartment in Burbank, driving like a dog every day and following those starlets all over Los Angeles. Any harvest will be scolded by that fat pig-like editor-in-chief.
Thinking of Nicole Kidman, George Northam naturally thought of Eric again. Not long after that happened, Nicole became the heroine of Eric's new film. Although many newspapers have publicized how excellent Nicole Kidman is. How lucky. Some newspapers released the detailed process of how Eric selected the girl from Australia from many audition actresses.
But George Northam remembered clearly what happened that night. Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore obviously know each other, so it is impossible for her not to know Eric Williams.
Therefore, George Northam once wanted to reveal to the media that things were not what they saw. That woman must have an ulterior secret with Eric Williams, and she could get the daughter of "Sleepless in Seattle" The protagonist must have made some dirty deals with Eric Williams.
However, firstly, he didn't have any evidence, and secondly, it wasn't long before he was blocked for attacking Eric Williams' "Dark War". Even if he broke the news to the media, most newspapers probably wouldn't believe it. Even if the gossip tabloids are willing to publish it, people will think that he poured dirty water on the young director because he was banned. At that time, he may even face the risk of being sued, so George Northam had to This matter is buried in the bottom of my heart.
Recalling all that happened in the past few months, George Northam took a few minutes to walk to this luxury movie theater on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, where the premiere of "Small Cry" will be held tonight. Of course, it is no longer possible for George Northam to sit comfortably in a movie theater and receive a public relations check afterwards like those invited film critics.
Now he is not even qualified to participate in the press conference after the film ends. He can only squeeze together with many paparazzi journalists on the edge of the red carpet, waiting for the director, starring and other important figures of the film to appear, and expecting to hear from the other party. Lucky for some revelations.
If he had a choice, George Northam would definitely not come to the premiere of this movie. After all, because of his hatred for Nicole Kidman, he didn't even have any affection for Eric, otherwise he would Nor will he be dizzy and transfer his anger at Nicole's "teasing" to Eric's "Dark War". But today is already October 30th, and his interview task for this month has not been completed. If the manuscript cannot be handed in tomorrow, the harsh editor-in-chief will definitely deduct his salary confidently. Therefore, George Northam has no choice but to force Enduring the disgust in my heart, I came to this premiere.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and there were dense crowds of people on both sides of the red carpet laid in front of the theater.
Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Kim Basinger, Melanie Griffith, Julia Roberts…
Hollywood stars appeared on the red carpet one after another, causing the fans to scream.
George Northam, like other paparazzi who were blocked outside the cordon, yelled hoarsely at the stars who were calmly walking on the red carpet, hoping that the other party could answer a few questions for them while posing for a photo. However, they Doomed to get no response.
After wasting a whole roll of film without any useful gains, George Northam cursed anxiously in his heart, put on a new film, and looked at Demi, who was leaning against Bruce Willie and just walked through the red carpet. Moore, hoping that this actress in a tube top gown would fall hard when going up the steps, and it is best to step on the corner of the skirt and tear off the tube top dress, so that he will have news The topic of the manuscript can be finished directly, and there is no need to endure crowding and noise here.
It's a pity that this "beautiful" wish is destined not to be fulfilled by any lascivious passing angel. Demi Moore and her husband Bruce Willie quickly walked up the steps and walked into the cinema.
As soon as the backs of the two disappeared, the cheers and screams of the watching fans sounded from the other end of the red carpet. George Northam carefully distinguished and heard the name of Eric Williams. There was a strong revulsion. But the experience of these few months has completely worn him out of arrogance, so George Northam quickly cheered up like other paparazzi around him, hoping to stop Eric Williams to answer a few questions .
The figure of Eric Williams appeared at the corner, wearing a decent black dress, with a faint smile on his face, waving his hands to the fans on both sides from time to time. And the petite woman with conspicuous breasts walking over with Eric's arm was none other than Virginia Madsen, the heroine of "Small Island Cry".
Still seven or eight meters away, the paparazzi yelled at Eric frantically.
"Eric, can I stop and take a picture?"
"Eric, look here, look here!"
"..."
Eric walked to the reporter area with Virginia on his arm, stopped at the right time, and let go of Virginia so that the girl could pose freely and get a lot of exposure. Fame can work well.
"Eric, can I lean in for a photo with Ms. Madsen?"
"Eric..."
The reporter paparazzi barked again in dissatisfaction.
Eric stood on the red carpet and shook his head with a smile. Even though many people knew the relationship between him and Virginia, even many gossip tabloids brazenly fabricated the scandal between the two, but Eric Rick will not take the initiative to provide material for these people.
There was a clicking sound for a while, and the clever paparazzi knew that Eric was leaving soon, so they quickly stretched out the tape recorder in their hands and asked Eric.
However, no matter how these people asked questions, Eric seemed to have not heard it. He stretched out his arms in a gentlemanly manner, took Virginia, and planned to walk into the cinema.
Seeing that such an excellent opportunity was missed again, George Northam had an idea and shouted: "Mr. Williams, don't you think it is very stupid to release "Small Island Cry" on November 1st?" something?"
Because of exhausting all his strength, George Northam's voice instantly suppressed everyone.
Eric paused, turned his head to search, and quickly locked onto George Northam.
Although he knew the name of the film critic who wrote the film review to attack "Dark War", Eric had never seen him in person, so Eric showed interest in his eyes at this time.
Seeing Eric stop in his tracks, the paparazzi behind the cordon became crazy again, and the click of the shutter rang crazily.
Eric let go of Virginia and walked a few steps in this direction, and said to George Northam, "Were you talking just now?"
"Yes," George Northam nodded slightly. Although Eric is young, he does not lack the aura that a successful person should have. Because of what George Northam did before, he couldn't help but feel Feel a little guilty. (To be continued..)
