236 - Pulp Fiction

"I heard that this director, called Quentin Tarantino, is the shooting style closest to you?"

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spurs were moving slowly, and Naomi Watts leaned on the seat, flipping through the newspaper's pre-screening promotion of "Pulp Novel", which included film critics and various media analyses of Quentin Tarantino.

"In fact, it's just similar, the shooting styles are essentially different." Wayne also saw those reports. Among the media and film critics, Quentin discussed that Dino became the number one, which is very marketable, but he himself thinks it's nonsense.

At 7 p.m. on October 13, "Pulp Novel" premiered at the Kodak Theater tonight under the organization of the producer's release.

The film will be officially released on October 14th. Wayne has agreed to the invitation long ago, and there are still a few things to do when he comes here today.

"I also think what the media said makes sense." Naomi Watts looked out the window and there was a traffic jam on the whole street, and the newspapers were rumbling.

"Compared with you, he feels very similar to you, and even the ratings of the films are R-rated films, and the absurd elements in your directed films are everywhere in his movies."

Wayne shook his head. "At most, it can only be said that they are both black films. There are essential differences in nature. You can feel it after watching the movie."

However, looking at the speed of the car like a turtle lying, he continued to explain: "Qentin Tarantino's personal style is more prominent, with many subversive techniques, and his narratives are mostly wild and unruly chapters.

Not to mention anything else, this is the most essential difference. My narrative style is actually more biased towards traditional academic multi-line narrative. After all, these things have been learned by me, which has caused the storytelling method to be completely different. So I said that his personal style is much stronger than mine."

There is no difference between these two narrative methods, and they are actually for the sake of film stories, but they are essentially two different ways.

Whether it is shooting techniques or narrative techniques, Wayne is the orthodox academic direction. For a movie, choosing the appropriate narrative structure is crucial to the narrative of the story.

As a more traditional narrative structure, multi-line juxtaposition has its unique characteristics in emotional and theme expression. At the same time, it also has special practical significance and artistic significance for film creation.

To put it bluntly, this is one of the reasons why his videos can always resonate with the audience through stories.

Quentin Tarantino is much more wild and free, and the unique lines and dialogues in his videos, the unlimited limit of bursting blood, and the large number of black humorous surprise spoofs, which always gives the audience a particularly satisfying pleasure.

"God, I finally moved." In fact, Wayne explained this to nothing. Naomi Watts was not interested in these things at all. The point she was interested in was that she could walk the red carpet again.

As he moved forward, Sergei parked the car smoothly next to the red carpet. Wayne opened the car door, took Naomi Watts's hand and walked towards the entrance of the theater.

In the flash as if it was suddenly bright, no matter how the reporter called his name and wanted him to cooperate with some poses to take photos, he did not stop.

This is not Wayne's own movie, and he didn't want to use the movie to promote himself. If it weren't for taking care of Naomi Watts, he might not have walked the red carpet and went in through the side door.

After the two walked to the entrance of the theater, they refused the reporter's interview and entered the theater directly after signing the autograph.

"Director Greenberg, Ms. Watts, thank you for coming."

As soon as he entered the door, Quentin Tarantino, the owner, came up with him, and Harvey Weinstein was still there.

"Congratulations, don't hello us." Wayne shook hands with the two of them with a smile and said to Harvey Weinstein: "Let's find a place to talk about it?"

"Okay, come with me."

The fat man walked into a lounge with two people. After the waiter had served coffee, he continued, "The witch's film will be made soon. When do you think it's better to start it?"

"So fast?" Wayne was also shocked. It took only a long time since the fat man was about to get it done.

Harvey Weinstein spread his hands and said, "Find a shooting location in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and then Bob contacted a small director, two cameras and several actors. How slow can it be? It will take less than a month for the video to be edited."

In fact, this is true. Although this is not taken by a portable camera, if the quality of the film is not required, I am afraid that there will not be much film.

Harvey Weinstein fully understands that it doesn’t matter what the film is like and what the content is. What matters is the viral promotion and marketing method. The example of "The Joker Returns" is right in front of you. It can be said that no one doesn’t want to make money quickly.

The purpose of this is to follow-up large-scale publicity and marketing funds, which they both need to bear together. This is not a small number, and everyone needs to prepare time to raise them.

After the registration of the Witch Studio was completed, both of them each made $200,000, which was enough to make movies and post-production.

The little assistant didn't come with him today. Wayne took out a cigarette from Naomi Watts' handbag and lit one on his own. After thinking for a while, he said: "I've been tight recently. I need to wait for two months to share the share of Warner Brothers before I can provide a large amount of publicity funds."

"Is the gossip true? Are you going to invest in Warner Bros?"

Harvey Weinstein suddenly remembered that since a year, there has been news in the circle that in order to tie up Wayne Greenberg's performance growth point, Warner Bros. would bleed by itself and specialize in financing for the other party to expand its shares.

"Yes, my negotiating team has basically done everything and will sign a subscription agreement in the near future." Wayne nodded. There is nothing that cannot be admitted. The matter has been almost done. After he invested, Warner Bros. will also make the news public.

"Please put it next year, Harvey, we need more preparation time." He spit out a large mouthful of blue smoke, took the ash handed over by Naomi Watts, and said:

"And "The Joker Returns" just played this way. Although the scared couple signed a confidentiality agreement and are still on vacation overseas, no one can tell whether things will be associated with each other. We will stagger the time a little longer."

Harvey Weinstein nodded and agreed to the other party's statement. Moreover, he also had to find a way to raise the large amount of funds needed to promote the publication. Tens of millions of dollars are not a small number at any time.

"By the way." Wayne talked about the purpose of coming here today. "After the premiere, please introduce Samuel Jackson to me. How about this actor? You know what I mean."

Mom is also one of his bad tastes. In fact, this character doesn’t have too many scenes, and it’s not difficult to find similar actors, but he really wants to poach Chief S.I.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.E.

Harvey Weinstein understands what he means. Any director in the circle has a headache for those self-righteous and persecuted African-American actors. "There is a good personality and a good professional attitude."

That's enough, Wayne nodded, stood up and tidied up his suit, and said, "Then I won't bother you, the master, find a staff member and take us to the cinema. I'm very much looking forward to this movie."

"You will never be disappointed. To be honest, Quentin has definitely had many similarities with you. If Pulp Novels can have half the box office of "The Joker Back", it would have been considered a very successful one."

Harvey Weinstein took them out of the lounge, waved to a Miramax employee, explained a few words, said to Wayne, "You can do whatever you want," and returned to the entrance of the theater.

Under the leadership of the staff, the two of them did not go socially and sat directly in the middle of the second row of the cinema, waiting for the start of the film screening.

It can be seen that Naomi Watts was very curious about the movie Witch. After the staff left, she lay on Wayne's shoulder and whispered: "Are you going to work with this fat man? Harvey Weinstein's reputation in the circle has never been very good."

"It doesn't matter."

Wayne observed the crowd around him and said indifferently: "He is a smart person. He knows that someone can cheat you at will, but some people will not let him think more."

A large number of fans have already begun to enter the venue and have also seen some critics. He waved to Todd McCarthy and said hello, but he had no idea of ​​coming over to chat.

Unexpectedly, this famous Los Angeles film critic came over by himself and sat down next to him.

"The director Quentin Tarantino."

The two shook hands, and Todd McCarthy started chatting with him in a low voice. "I am the director who surprised me the most besides you. I have watched the preview of this film. It has a strong black personal style and feels like I was watching your "Escape from the Deadly Town" at the time."

"Actually, he entered the industry earlier than me." Wayne also chatted casually. "I personally like his works very much. Those violent aesthetics are all right for Quentin."

"But these are very unfriendly to ladies, aren't they?" Naomi Watts said suddenly.

"Yes, this type of film is usually very unfriendly to women." Unexpectedly, Todd McCarthy agreed with this point of view. He did not talk about art or other things, but just talked about the movie genre casually.

"Wayne did a pretty good job at this point, but he didn't abuse his personal style and used the story to resonate with the audience. This is one of the reasons why his films always have good box office."

"Thank you." Wayne smiled modestly when he heard him praise Naomi Watts in front of him.

As the crew members returned to the theater, the lights slowly went out, and the screening of "Pulp Novels" officially began.
