Chapter 405: Chapter 127 The Weinstein Brothers’ Plan

The theater outside was still a sea of people. Despite the short distance from where cars dropped off to the entrance, Miramax had still laid out a red carpet. “Broken Arrow” definitely couldn’t compare to “Saving Private Ryan,” and Miramax couldn’t outdo DreamWorks either. Although DreamWorks was established just two years ago and was even younger than AC Media, the capital it had at its start was incomparable to any new company.

But the Weinstein brothers had still prepared a grand premiere. It might not be as lively as that of “Saving Private Ryan,” but it was still quite the attention-grabber. No other reason but the fact that “The Rock” had raked in a full pot for them last time, and naturally, they hoped “Broken Arrow” would yield the same bountiful harvest, especially since this movie was given to them by the Miracle Director.

Therefore, when it came to promotion, they made sure to employ every trick in the book, one of which naturally involved Dennis’s scandals. The love triangle between him, Winona, and Jennifer was still hot gossip for many tabloids, and the paparazzi hadn’t missed any opportunity to harass them. Just those juicy tidbits alone were enough to attract people’s attention.

As for any potential negative consequences, that wasn’t something the brothers needed to worry about. To them, making money was the most important thing. As long as it generated profits and allowed their business to flourish, they would not hesitate to do even the most outrageous things, which was a classic Jewish manner of thinking. Poor Dennis.

“Ah, it really makes one sigh. Just a single TV show can create such close bonds among them,” Adrian said, standing in the corner of the lobby, looking over at the group of three men and three women chatting and laughing not far away; those six were the main cast of “Friends.” Since Jennifer had taken on the leading female role in “Broken Arrow,” she naturally invited her friends to the premiere. Even though there were little cliques among the six, such as Jennifer and Courteney being closer, and Matthew and Matt hitting it off better, the six were indeed close friends.

“Yes, it’s truly enviable,” Dennis said, mustering a bitter smile beside him and seeming somewhat listless.

“You really don’t plan to go over there and say hello to them, Dan?” Adrian teased, looking at him, “It’s just a greeting. I think your Noni wouldn’t mind.”

“I don’t know, Ed,” Dennis sighed again, “honestly, there are already some cracks between me and Noni.”

“How so?” Adrian lifted his eyebrow in surprise, “Haven’t you decided yet? Didn’t you say you’d resolve it after your trip to Japan to clear your mind?”

“Yes, I did say that, but…” Dennis made a gesture, “I want to make it as easy on Jenny as possible. I don’t want to hurt her anymore. Yes, I admit, I still have feelings for her, but Noni is my girlfriend, so I hope to resolve this matter in a more peaceful way…”

“You told Noni about this, didn’t you?” Adrian suddenly interjected.
