Chapter 55

The mtv film award is an international film award established by mtv global music and television station last year-1992-because the trophy of this award is designed into the shape of popcorn bucket necessary for the audience to watch movies, so this award is also Known as the "Golden Popcorn Award".

On the surface, the audience voted to determine the attribution of the award, which gave the mtv film awards a strong entertainment, creating a warm, relaxed and absolutely eye-catching atmosphere.

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

In mid-January, the second MTV Film Awards ceremony kicked off at the Los Angeles Music Hall. Although this is only the second time, it is because the nominees are all popular films and movie stars. With the promotion of mtv TV station and the Viacom Group behind it and Time Warner, the award ceremony definitely does not lack the attention of the media audience.

Just like last year's biggest winner was "Terminator 2," this is completely different from Academy awards such as Oscars. Acting actors are always supporting roles here. The most popular people are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvie. Stallone, silly sister Julia Roberts, all-American sweetheart Meg Ryan and other idols.

"You are a little nervous∝,?"

On the back seat of the rented luxury car, Duke looked at Naomi Watts, who was wearing a bright silver double-shoulder suspender dress next to him, and said with certainty, "Honey, you are nervous."

"This is my first red carpet!"

The palm of her hand gently shook her chest, which was not full, Naomi took two deep breaths in succession. "It is also the most important show for me so far."

"This is also my first red carpet."

As soon as the calm voice fell, the car stopped, Duke pushed the door, and walked down first, leaving behind the dazzling flashing light, turning around and taking Naomi Watts out of the car, waiting for her hand to rest. When his arms were bent, the frequency of flashing lights was significantly faster.

"Control your emotions."

Waving casually at the reporter area and audience area, Duke whispered as he walked and whispered to the nervous and stiff blonde girl around him like a stone, "If you fall, you will definitely be on the headlines of tomorrow's entertainment edition."

Fortunately, Naomi Watts is a smart person, not stupid enough to make headlines in this way.

"Should we go and sign for them?" Naomi saw that many people in the audience area held up the poster of "Speed ​​of Life", "Are we there?"

"If you don't mind signing the posters of Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman..." Duke shrugged slightly without stopping at all, "You can pass."

Although it is a newly established award, the appeal of mtv is strong enough. When walking quickly across the red carpet, Duke saw the front door of Chandler Hall and temporarily stopped many big-name stars. For example, because of "Lethal Weapon 3 "Mel Gibson, who was nominated for Best Actor, such as Sharon Stone who became popular with "Instinct", and Sean Connery, the most handsome old man in history...

Walking all the way on the red carpet, Naomi Watts also showed a certain degree of psychological adjustment ability. When approaching the interview area, Duke could clearly feel her breathing gradually stabilized and her stiff smile softened.

For a woman who has been struggling in the entertainment circles of Japan, Australia and North America for several years, dreaming of becoming famous and frustrated one after another, this is not easy.

"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

As soon as he walked into the interview area, a reporter from the mtv television station immediately walked over, and then looked at Naomi Watts with a little surprise, apparently did not know her.

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

The reporter immediately put on a warm smile, "Hello, Miss Watts..."

Then wow wow praised her appearance and dress.

"Director Rosenberg, when I shook hands with you..."

This mtv reporter perfectly embodies the entertaining spirit of this film award. What he said in the interview was ridicule, "I always think of the continuous explosions in "Life and Death", and I am worried that once my hand touches you. , Will it blow up first, I feel my adrenaline is beginning to rise."

"In the film industry, if a director wants to have a good reputation," Duke deliberately changed his tone to a very serious tone, "that has to be adrenaline strong."

Naomi Watts and the reporter opposite couldn't help laughing.

"I heard that you are shooting a new movie."

Warner's public work is very well done, "Can you comment on you or your new movie?"

"It can be summed up in one sentence..." Duke raised his right index finger, "Innately warlike, it's hot 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 wanted to give some sweetness.

"Miss Watts, as the heroine in the new film directed by Rosenberg,"

It's a pity that the reporter doesn't give much face, and the questions asked are still related to Duke. "What do you think of the cooperation with the director?"

"This is the second time we have worked together." Naomi Watts is not an idiot, she stood in front of the camera, showing her best side, "He gave everyone a surprise in "Life and Death". I can't believe that my first film with a formal role in North America has a box office of more than 130 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of more than 350 million U.S. dollars. This is a great honor for me to cooperate with Duke. it's my honour."

She was not too clever, and after speaking a few words about herself, she quickly pulled the topic back to Duke.

"Duke is the best young director I have ever seen. On the set, his gestures and gestures show fearless momentum. Even words can convey a signal of courage and confidence. The fighter, I think he is an artist who is good at creating destruction!"

"An artist who is good at creating destruction!"

Hearing what Naomi Watts said, Duke felt his eyelids twitch. It is estimated that after the release of the next film, many people may regard him as a saboteur.

"Excuse me..."

Even the cool breeze blowing in the night cannot withstand the raging gossip fire of the reporter, "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"We are good friends," Naomi Watts said with a sweet smile, "also trusted partners."

Although he was the director of many nominated films, the interview could not last too long. After a short interview, Duke saw Naomi Watts put his hand in his arms again and turned to Chandler Hall. Go.

The front of the hall is already a restricted area for media audiences. Many people choose to pause and say hello to people they know. After all, the connections in this circle sometimes play unexpected roles.

"Hi, Duke."

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

"She is the heroine of my new film." Duke replied casually without explaining.

I haven't seen it for a while. The temporary partnership between Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves is clearly over. The man she is holding is still impressed by Duke because of a certain upcoming movie. If I remember correctly, he should be Uma Thurman's first husband.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Oldman."

After Uma Thurman's introduction, Duke shook hands with each other, "Your performance in "The Four Hundred Years of Surprise" is impressive. I hope we can have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"I hope so." Gary Oldman said politely.

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

"Look at the look in Gary Oldman's eyes..."

After the two of them walked a little away, Naomi leaned into his ear and said, "It's more blazing than when she looked at me."

"My dear, I promise..." Duke lowered his voice, "If you all take off your clothes, I would never look at Gary Oldman. All my eyes will be on you."

Entering the Chandler Hall, there is still some time before the award ceremony begins. Under the guidance of a staff member, the two of Duke walked into the VIP lounge on the side, where most of the guests who participated in the award ceremony gathered, among them shining The starlight is enough to cover the lights outside the concert hall.

Just like every industry, there are always countless small circles in a big circle, and the same is true for VIP lounges. Stars, directors and producers of different origins and different crews are scattered into several small groups, discussing in a low voice. The gossip in the circle, the upcoming movies, the projects to be promoted in the future, etc. Maybe the initial plan of a certain movie is to reach a preliminary consensus in the communication on this occasion.

Just stepping into Hollywood and focusing on the career of directing, Duke knows many people, but few people know him. Most of them nod to each other. Without introductions by familiar people, it is impossible to rush into those small circles. In, simply took Naomi Watts to a quieter place.

In the crowd just over fifty feet away, two equally unruly people were sitting together.

"Sean..." Mel Gibson said to the old man beside him, "Look who it is over there! A hairy boy who refused your kindness."

"A idiot who doesn't know the heights of the world."

Just like the rumors, the most handsome old man in history who is alcoholic, drug-addictive, and grumpy is definitely not a generous person. "Can you count the director who fell into the abyss after a Hollywood movie was successful?"

Because of their common views on the issue of Scottish independence, the two have recently moved very close, and Mel Gibson nodded in agreement, "How do you think he will be one of them."

"Are you interested in going over and chatting with him?" Sean Connery rubbed his beard, and a smile came out of his mouth.

"Such a small role." Mel Gibson pouted. "A person used to lift him up."

Pulling the collar of the dress habitually, Sean Connery put on a polite smile and strode towards Duke.
