The Wolf of Los Angeles

Over the weekend, Eric Ethan's new film "The Journey to the Night" was held at the New Beverly Cinema.

Hawke and Edward both came to support the show. The two were not interested in the red carpet and went directly into the theater through the side door.

Unexpectedly, I met the ruffian director Quentin Tarantino at the door of the VIP room.

He is talking to Dani Garcia, Dwayne Johnson's agent wife.

Seeing Hawke come over, Danny ends Quentin’s chat and comes to greet them.

Quentin was very interesting. When he saw two strange faces, he also came to join in the fun and wanted to get to know him.

Dany Garcia introduced both sides.

Quentin was a little surprised: "Are you the founder of Twitter? I am your loyal user." He praised sincerely: "The news you made is very interesting, and even the insider, I am very interested in watching it. ”

"Thank you for supporting Twitter." Hawke was also very kind, and he didn't say anything lies: "I am your fan. I like "Pulp Novel" and "A New Dawn" very much, and I have watched it more than once."

Quentin has a different idea: "Twitter is a good publicity platform. My new film "Kill Bill" will be released in October, so we might as well cooperate."

Hawke thought for a while and said, "Yes, the crew can send someone to Twitter for negotiation."

Quentin exchanged business cards with him and went to the other side.

Hawke glanced at his back and asked Danny: “Eric’s connections are getting wider.”

"That's not." Danny briefly explained: "Qentin is going to buy this theater. As long as he has time, he will attend every premiere held here."

Edward whispered, "This guy has eaten Frank's good-looking feet."

While the three of them were talking, Johnson, who had walked the red carpet, also came.

He walked over quickly, hugged Hawke and Edward one after another, and said happily, "I haven't seen you for a long time. When will we get together?"

Hawke asked, "You have time recently?"

Johnson shook his head helplessly: "Don't mention it, the set, announcement, and premiere have been going on for more than half a year."

He touched his big head with a decreasing amount of hair and said, "I doubt if I continue, I will be bald in the future."

Hawke said deliberately: "There is a saying in my hometown that when your hair is getting smaller, it also means you are getting stronger."

Thinking of the smooth development since last year, Johnson said, "It makes some sense."

Edward subconsciously touched his hair, thinking whether he would get a bald head?

Johnson saw that there was no one around and said, "After a while, I may compete for a large A-level production with an investment of about $130 million. If it doesn't go well, I'll ask you for help."

Hawke certainly wouldn't refuse the business that came to his door: "Call me if you need it."

Danny continued, "Daun and I will contact each other first. Let's see the attitude of the crew. If they are not interested in Johnson, it will be useless for us to work hard."

Hawke agreed with this and happened to see someone entering the VIP room and said, "If the competitor is him, I suggest giving up directly."

Johnson and Dany both followed Hawke's gaze and the newcomer was Tom Cruise.

This guy expressed Eric's appreciation last time, but he didn't expect to come directly to support his new film premiere.

Johnson and Dany met their acquaintances and went somewhere else.

Hawke is not famous, especially in Hollywood, where it is pure.

Edward looked at Tom Cruise who was surrounded by people in the center, suddenly worried about his old friend, and said in a low voice: "Boss, there have been rumors in Hollywood that Tom Cruise may be a hidden **** man. Will you have fantasies about Eric like that Miller Collins?”

Hearing this, Hawke frowned slightly: "This is a problem, but it shouldn't be big. Eric is not a **** man."

Just as they were talking, two mixed-race black females suddenly came over.

Among them, the young black female Alison Fiss looked at Hawke with a grievance.

The older black female Joanna Fiss looked at Edward, the handsome black man, with a grievance on his face.

It was as if Hawk and Edward had done something to their mother and daughter that they had to abandon them.

Hawke just greeted him politely, not to mention the mother and daughter gathering together for male models, but just appearing together at the bragging father's party, he would not have close contact with them.

Business is business after all.

Joanna and Alison, mother and daughter, are taking the slutty route in the entertainment industry. Many people in the VIP room looked at it curiously, as if they were curious about who they were going to find to fire together tonight.

Edward noticed that he thought of the recent performance of Lamb Leg, the woman was more capable than him, and even planned to take away the loyal work.

The Savior decided to stand up and said to Joanna and Alison, “Let’s go over there and talk.”

A bright smile appeared on Joanna's face: "Okay."

Edward took her to the other side.

Alison was not willing to let Joanna eat alone, so he immediately followed.

Hawke shook his head when he saw it. People like him who have experienced the baptism of the super explosion of online information after 2020 think this mother and daughter are perverted.

With Edward's expertise, it's not a big problem to deal with them.

The premiere guests gradually arrived, and so did Eric and Catherine.

The two came here specifically to say hello to Hawke.

Tom Cruise came over, shook hands with Hawke, and said, "Do you have time tonight? The premiere is over, let's talk alone."

Even if he is a **** man, he is not a threat to Hawke.

Hawke replied, "No problem." Everyone walked towards the screening hall one after another.

Eric deliberately lagged a few steps behind and said to Hawk: "Tommy was very interested in my script, so he accepted the invitation and attended the premiere. If the film had a good grade, I guess he would work with me. ”

Hawke said, "I have confidence in you."

Entering the screening room, his seat is arranged in the third row, with Edward.

Hawke sat down and asked Edward: "Get rid of them?"

Edward said confidently: "I am professional in dealing with them."

The lights went out, the screen lighted up, and the movie began to show.

This is a story about a father born in a gangster who avenged his daughter who was forced to death by many people.

Compared to its feature debut at Sundance Film Festival, its audience range is much wider.

It is also in line with the elements of family and family affection that movie audiences accept the most widely.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The father who came out of jail found that he had visited his daughter a month ago and was actually killed.

He called the police but no one paid attention to it. After all, he was a gangster family and his daughter was just a street girl.

Hawke's old friend Jacqueline plays this street girl.

Although her literary drama is mediocre, the performance of two large-scale dramas in the film is amazing.

This "Dark Night Journey" is the hero's journey of revenge in the darkness.

Without the main perspective of the minority in the previous "SSEZ Highlands", there are no humanistic thinking and profound social reflections. In the second half of the plot, the male protagonist uses cruel means to destroy the scumbags who harmed his daughter one by one. Kill it and finally disappear in the darkness.

After the film screening, there was a burst of applause at the scene, but it lasted for less than a minute and then gradually stopped.

This is real applause.

Hawke doesn't know how to make movies, but knows that everyone sees movies and likes different types, and this movie is to his taste.

From his personal point of view, Eric Ethan completed a transformation through "Journey to the Night".

In the movie, more commercial elements are introduced.

Edward said: "This movie is obviously better than the previous one."

Hawke said, "I feel so, too."

The two walked out with the audience who had finished the show, and Edward said again: "I didn't expect Jacqueline to act so well."

He figured out the reason: "This industry is acting every day, and her main role is closely related to the industry."

Hawke asked, "Have you contacted her recently?"

"I made a phone call." Edward waited until the passing people walked away before saying, "She is still the same, doing business at night and finding roles during the day."

Hawke knows Hollywood: "It's hard to support himself through a paycheck if the actors are not at a certain level."

Edward didn't think it was anything: "Hollywood female celebrities are actually similar to Jacqueline's amateur career."

This is so reasonable that Hawke can't refute it.

Before the two of them went out of the theater, the phone rang and Hawk answered.

Jacqueline called: "Boss, I saw you and the Savior. You said you didn't let me say hello to you in public, and I didn't go there."

Hawke praised, “You did a great job.”

This was the first person to follow him, and he reminded him: "When encountering a problem that cannot be solved, call the savior."

"Okay." Jacqueline said another thing: "Director Eric Ethan said that the next film will leave me a role."

Hawke said: "Don't let go of acting skills, this is the foundation."

Jacqueline said, "I signed up for another performance class. This should be reliable and there will be no such a bad thing."

Hawke reminded: "Just remember one thing, anyone who takes the initiative to come to you to provide roles must have a different purpose."

"I remember." Jacqueline said a few more words and hung up the phone.

Hawke left the theater, got in the car and didn't leave immediately, so he asked Edward to wait for a while.

Not long after, Tom Cruise called and Yohawk went to Beverly Business Club to meet him nearby.

Hawke responded and asked Edward to drive over.

More than ten minutes later, in a hospitality room at the business club, Hawke met Tom Cruise who was rushing over.

He came over alone and glanced at Edward: "Let's talk a few words alone."

Hawke waved his hand and Edward left the reception room.

Tom Cruise has known Brian for many years, and Brian once helped him deal with an extremely difficult lawsuit.

Through Brian, he also learned about Hawke and his ability to plan his business strategy.

Hawke was not in a hurry and waited for Tom Cruise to speak first.

Tom Cruise said: "I have had a lot of worries recently. I want to borrow some insights and help me analyze." (End of this chapter)
