Three Hundred and Forty-I Think Something Is Not Right
Just as Wayne and others were boarding the plane to Boston and preparing to start the next phase of work, a local Los Angeles newspaper called the "Entertainment Herald" suddenly published a set of photos and news.
Although the name of the newspaper seems to be lofty, the first impression it gives is that of an authoritative entertainment media. In fact, to put it bluntly, this is an entertainment tabloid that focuses on celebrity gossip, and its profit goal is to win the public's attention.
In fact, the editor of this news, Scott Kate, obtained this set of photos and a cooperation agreement with confidentiality clauses through a journalist friend. Together with the photos and the agreement, There was a thick stack of Franklin worth $40,000.
Scott-Kate is just the editor of a tabloid. He has been in the industry for seven or eight years, and his income has always been at the bottom of the industry. This windfall is comparable to his normal income for a whole year.
If he followed the unwritten rules in the industry, he should consider whether to report it directly after getting these things. After all, the power of the people involved is really quite big.
When tabloids like them face ordinary celebrities, it can be said that they are not afraid of anyone. Don't worry whether my report on you is fabricated. If you are not convinced, you can sue us directly. Gossip tabloids usually want celebrities to sue them. Get more eyeballs and increase your visibility.
But if the other party is a real big boss, you need to carefully consider the report. Those people usually have huge capital power in their hands. They will not just verbally condemn like celebrities, but will actually find ways to make the newspaper pay the price. .
Faced with various concerns, even though Scott-Kate had received hush money, she did not dare to make random remarks or speculation in the news. She just enlarged a few photos and published them, and then added a huge title.
"Naomi Watts has an unexpected pregnancy, and the father of the child is suspected to be Wayne Greenberg!"
It can be seen from the enlarged photos that these backgrounds are all in the hospital, and it is obvious at a glance that they were taken through candid photography. Naomi Watts' baby bump was very obvious, and she was accompanied by Wayne's personal security Sergey.
After the newspaper went on sale, there was no immediate splash. Even if someone saw it, they would only discuss it privately. After all, the sales volume of this kind of gossip tabloid has never been too large.
After half a day passed, there was no scene of people rushing to discuss it. This made Scott-Kate sigh in relief. He thought it was best to drown out the news directly, so as to make money and reduce the risk. lowest.
However, contrary to expectations, the report that no one paid attention to initially was followed by more than a dozen second-rate media outlets that day, completely bringing the news to the public and detonating public opinion.
Then it immediately attracted the attention of more media. Countless reporters rushed directly to the Greenberg Manor, wanting to interview the parties involved and determine whether the news was true or false. Countless calls were made to Jimmy's agency.
When reporters rushed to Warner Bros. Studios, they learned that the crew had flown to Boston. Some began to book flights, and some picked up the phone and called the Boston branch.
Not only the media reporters, but also the ordinary people who were the first to see the report are curious, waiting for the follow-up development of the matter and the truth or falsehood. You know, the representative of the American dream in Hollywood in recent years has never been announced. Have an official girlfriend.
Now it is suddenly revealed that Naomi Watts is pregnant and the father of the child is Wayne Greenberg. This has attracted a lot of attention in a short period of time during the relatively cold movie schedule in Hollywood in early December.
"Director Greenberg, is the father of Naomi Watts' child pregnant with you?"
"Wayne, can we talk for a few words about when are you going to propose to Ms. Watts?"
"I heard that you have secretly married, is that true?"
As soon as they entered the airport terminal, Wayne and others were surrounded by crazy reporters. However, the questions the reporters asked made him frown deeply.
This matter has always been kept secret. He didn't want the media to disturb Naomi Watts. It would be best for the child to be born quietly, which would be the best result.
But now that the media has got the news, he doesn't pay too much attention to it. Now he is thinking about how to strengthen the security measures at the manor to prevent the Australian girl from being disturbed before giving birth.
Reporters were still surrounding him, and various flashlights kept flashing. Under the protection of Sergey and airport security, Wayne lowered his head and said nothing as he slowly moved toward the exit of the lobby.
It wasn't until he got into the car heading to the hotel that he looked at the assistant. "Call the manor and tell Nami not to go out if it's okay. What we need to do now is to wait until these people's curiosity subsides or the matter subsides. Also, ask her not to accept any interviews."
Now that the crew has just arrived in Boston, it is impossible for him to abandon everyone and return to Los Angeles immediately. Moreover, there is nothing he dare not admit about this matter. Neither of them has a boyfriend or girlfriend or a family, and there is no moral aspect involved.
In Wayne's eyes, it is nothing more than the loss of a quiet environment, but both he and Naomi Watts have long been accustomed to living in the spotlight, which means that a little more trouble will not cause him too much trouble. Much trouble.
"Hela said that the gate of the manor has been surrounded by reporters, and now even employees coming in and out to buy groceries will be stopped by them for interviews." Nina put down the phone in her hand and said to the boss who had been thinking deeply. "Nami's mood is quite stable. She has been mentally prepared for this situation. After all, you are both public figures."
"call."
Wayne raised his hand to rub his forehead and exhaled a large puff of smoke. He had always been unwilling to have his private life disturbed too much by the media, but this was always just a fantasy. Ever since he entered this circle, he was destined to live under the spotlight.
"Let's do this for now." Shaking his head, he closed his eyes and began to think about the filming plan. Now that the news of Naomi Watts' pregnancy suddenly broke, it was obviously impossible for the crew to start filming quietly. The shooting sequence prepared in advance must also be adjusted.
"Ring, bell, bell"
Just as the car entered the hotel parking lot, the mobile phone that had been in Nina's hand rang. After answering it in a low voice, she handed the phone to the boss who opened her eyes.
"It's Bruce Rosenblum."
"Give it to me." Wayne answered the phone, opened the car door and walked out. "Hey, Bruce, you're not calling about that bullshit news, are you?"
"No doubt, that's it." The voice of a Warner Bros. executive came over the phone, his tone full of ridicule. "Not until tomorrow, all your fans in the United States will know about this. How about it, are you ready to accept the blessings of countless people? Nami's popularity has never been low, you have to be careful, don't let her The ardent movie fans had their heads exploded.”
What Bruce Rosenblum is making fun of is the Jodie Foster incident. After that incident, no one will be surprised if the ardent fans do crazy things out of jealousy.
"Hey, I don't have time to worry about those nonsense now." Wayne waved to Ector Henry, who was waiting in front, and motioned for him to take him to the reserved room. "You know what? Just because of those annoying reporters, my shooting plan on the first day has to be adjusted, so don't say any blessings to me now. I just want to start filming quietly."
"Okay, it seems that you are in good condition, so I have nothing to worry about. There are at least forty or fifty people downstairs in the company now. It seems that the news about Nami and you this time will allow many tabloids to live longer, and the public Love seeing these, don’t you?”
"Uh-huh." Wayne said perfunctorily into the phone, followed the producer out of the elevator, and stopped in front of a suite on the top floor.
But he was not in a hurry to go in. As usual, Sergey carried a black suitcase and went in first to check everything carefully to prevent the presence of small equipment that should not be there and some safety hazards. The big Russian man could not escape either. eyes.
"Do we need the company's public relations department to come forward?" Bruce Rosenblum's voice came again. "How do you want to handle this matter? From my experience, the colder it is, the more curious the public and the media will be. You and Nami are too well-known."
"What do you suggest?"
"Hold a media conference and officially announce it, otherwise you will all be living in the spotlight during this period."
Wayne was silent for a moment and said into the phone: "Let's talk about it. I'll think about it. That's it. I have to adjust the shooting plan."
After hanging up the phone, he thought of his unborn child and felt a little irritated. The child in Naomi Watts's belly was both lucky and unfortunate. Fortunately, he or she could already be identified before he or she was born. He or she will not worry about material things in his or her life. Unfortunately, he or she will live in the spotlight as soon as he or she is born.
With two parents like them, this child will only receive more media attention, and it is basically impossible to have a normal childhood.
"Boss, no problem, come in." Sergey's voice came out.
"fxxk, the last break is gone, shit!"
Wayne muttered curse words and walked into the living room of the suite. He ignored the assistant lady who was packing his things, took out the director's notebook from his bag, and began to adjust the shooting plan for tomorrow.
Originally, he planned to shoot the scenes in the police academy first, starting with simpler scenes to allow everyone to find a tacit understanding after a few months of rest, and to give the actors more time to get into the mood.
But now he has changed his mind and started filming scenes involving a large number of people. The main actors may be fine, but the minor actors and extras will definitely be affected by the media reporters surrounding the crew.
"A direct rooftop scene?"
Since he won't be shooting simple scenes anymore, he plans to start shooting on the first day and directly shoot the scene where the two protagonists are rivaling each other on the rooftop. This scene can be said to be very difficult, and his shooting plan includes several shots for this scene. It took three full days to prepare the actors to be patient and patient.
Just when Wayne had just adjusted his shooting plan and looked at the time to order something to eat, Nina came over with an ugly expression on her face, holding a mobile phone in her hand.
"Boss, Naomi's former manager Jenny accepted an interview, confirmed the authenticity of the pregnancy news, and pointed out that you are the father of the child."
"Forget it, sooner or later the media will know." Wayne lit a cigarette tiredly and waved to the assistant lady. "The woman didn't say anything else, did she?"
Nina hesitated and nodded. "Not yet, but I think something is not right..."
This seemingly one-on-one explosive technique gave the assistant a feeling of déjà vu, but she just didn't feel very good and couldn't put her finger on it.
