831 Whimsy

Catherine Zeta Jones, carrying a glass of white wine, left the brightly lit and magnificent hall, and saw Reims standing by the swimming pool at a glance.

At this time, Tom Cruise, Edward Norton, Jeff Daniels, Sandra Brock and Reese Witherspoon were standing next to Lance. A group of people were talking and laughing, it was very lively, and it was very difficult to ignore it. Not only Katherine, there were countless eyes around him watching the movements here all the time. There was no doubt that Lance was the absolute focus of tonight. Compared to the low-key and calm Lee/Ann, Lance was obviously more attractive - of course, the bad debts of the Academy tonight may not be one of the important factors.

Every industry insider knows the meaning of an excellent director, not to mention that this director has made no mistakes in the past three years, which is even more incredible. No one would hope to "get evil" with such a director. On the contrary, such a director will become the dream partner of every actor. Catherine is no exception. She missed the "City of Sin" before, and this incident has still made Catherine feel uneasy.

Without any hesitation, Catherine walked straight towards the direction where Lance was. She would not be waiting for the opportunity in the spot, and taking the initiative was her style.

Jeff could be heard from afar, "...God, this is really a weird idea, Tom, are you sure it's okay?" Jeff did not forget to look around, and his vigilant action immediately made everyone chuckled. Jeff was implying that Tom always focused on image. Tom's public relations team, agency team and assistant team are notorious in the industry. They always use no means to maintain Lance's image, and even forbid Tom from drinking too much alcohol at parties.

Tom was in a good mood tonight and did not feel offended by Jeff's teasing. He pointed at Jeff with his right hand holding the wine and said seriously, "Don't forget, I am the one who pays their salary." In the end, Lance rolled his eyes, which made everyone burst into laughter. Tom looked at Lance but was completely helpless.

"It seems that I missed an important part, why is Tom not angry?" Catherine's words were a little abrupt, but the content blended into the conversation just now. In an instant, everyone's attention was diverted. Catherine was not panicked and pointed her chin meaningfully. "It seems that I did miss the critical moment."

The same words present completely different meanings because of different tones and contexts. The first sentence is etiquette to intervene in the topic, but the second sentence is self-taught, which means "I don't know what happened, so I said the wrong thing." The calm demeanor and humorous tone make people smile.

"You didn't miss anything, you just missed a party." As the party involved, Tom took the initiative to take over the topic. His relaxed tone showed that he didn't care about this teasing.

Reese, who was standing next to him, shouted, "Lance just proposed a novel game, and I hope we all participate in it. It's so interesting. Lance always has endless fantasy ideas. I can't wait to see the release of "Rampant Road" now."

Reese bombed with no brainstorm. Not only did Catherine not understand, but she became more and more confused. She subconsciously turned her head and looked at Sandra. She raised her hands and made a surrender move. "Lance will explain it to you. I'm not sure what I want to do now." The curious and excited smile on her face made Catherine even more curious.

"It's just a small video made to promote the new movie." Lance said lightly.

Katherine immediately reacted, "Is it the dancing video that is extremely popular everywhere recently?"

Edward nodded and interjected, "Lance plans to make another short video. In April, he plans to invite a group of adult actors to pass through a bizarre mirror, and then turn into the zombies in the 'Rampant Road'..."

"That's not a zombie!" Reese and Sandra said in unison, which made everyone laugh.

Edward pursed his lips, "Yes, those people who look like zombies..." Lance had explained just now that the virus videos are actually all humans, not zombies. The reason he called this is, on the one hand, for publicity, and on the other hand, because the group led by Immortal Old Joe in the wasteland world no longer looks like humans, and ghosts don't look like ghosts. "Then..." Edward himself couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he had thought of something interesting, "Then we can do something similar to ourselves. As for the specific actions, Lance said that we can completely conceive ourselves." Edward couldn't help laughing again, turning to look at Lance, "This is really a magical idea. I'm constantly thinking about how I want to perform and what to do after transformation, haha. God, what is the one in your head!"

"Talent. I was still the same when I confirmed it last time." Lance replied seriously and seriously, causing everyone to clap and laugh.

Catherine's eyes fell on Edward. Edward Norton is a special existence in the industry. He is a truly rich second generation with a prominent family background, but he is determined to become an actor. He has outstanding acting skills and won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in his debut work, and his connections are even wider. Dustin Hoffman, Steven Spielberg, and Ridley Scott are all his best friends. However, his personality is very distinct. He rarely participates in parties outside of his performance, and his private life is almost strictly insulated from paparazzi, but he has a bad temper and even does not hesitate to directly scold reporters.

Edward has not many friends in the circle, but all those who can become his friends are recognized by him, and they are all weirdos who take the wrong steps. For example, Wes Anderson, and Lance Edward appeared at the Sunset Tower Hotel tonight. It is certain that Lance was the main reason.

However, it was unexpected that because of Lance, Edward was even willing to star in a viral video to promote the "Rampant Road", which was really rare.

But Edward didn't notice Katherine's gaze at all, turned to look at Lance and said seriously, "You mean, is anything OK? What if I was just wearing a pair of underwear and were dancing aerobics there?"

Lance shrugged, "I can't see anything wrong."

Catherine saw Tom's expression right now, and finally understood what they were laughing at just now. Tom cherished his image the most, and playing the villain in "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" is the only one he has in his career that he has been extraordinary. If Tom wants to star in such a viral video, it will definitely cause an uproar.

"Tom, do you want to act in person, too?" Catherine asked curiously.

"If Lance is willing to transform me into Superman," Tom said half-jokingly, but it can be seen that Tom is not worried about his image.

Catherine looked at Lance with a bright look, and indeed attracted Lance's attention. She smiled and said, "I wonder if I have the honor to be one of them?"

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and to be honest, he was a little surprised.

Making a viral video of "Zombies and Me" is the core content of the next wave of publicity in "Raging Road". However, Lance does not want to follow the route of the first three viral videos, just make one video and then spread it widely, but hopes that everyone will join in. So Lance came up with such an idea, using his connections to invite friends in the circle, who will play in person, and transform into a zombie through the mirror in the video, making some interesting or funny actions.

If promoted properly, not only from the topic point of view, the star effect will really ignite the sight, and the final effect will even be better than zombie dancing; and the video itself has no direct connection with "Rampage Road", it is more like an interesting video, which can attract more ordinary audiences to join in, further expand the mass base of "Rampage Road", and make people accustomed to the wasteland world style created in the movie.

However, Lance was still a little worried. Because the viral video itself would not pay any compensation and relied entirely on friendship. At the same time, the actors needed to play ugly and funny in the video - they had to shoot white powder and paint it with smoke, and if necessary, they even had to wear bald hoods.

In such a situation, not every actor is willing to act. After all, Hollywood is a mature industry, and the actor's image has become an indispensable part of the entire brand packaging. Not all roles can be played, nor can any guest appearance be taken.

But unexpectedly, Catherine was willing to take the initiative to participate.

Of course Lance knew that this was relationship, and this was how connections and connections were established. "Of course there was no problem. It was my honor to invite Miss Jones to play. If it was not abrupt, could I invite you to reproduce a 'Chicago' dance in the video?" Lance said enthusiastically, "Of course, if Mr. Douglas is willing to participate, there will be more room for play." Michael Douglas, Catherine's husband, is the big shot in the industry.

"Michael should refuse." Catherine agreed without taking the opportunity. She was her and Michael was Michael. In his career, the two were separated. "You know, Michael still hopes to show his handsome and funny side." Catherine looked at Tom in the eyes and blinked at Lance. "But I will still ask him, it's a very interesting invitation."
