Vol 3 Chapter 30: Second premiere in December

If Irene's story is an interpretation of the American dream that everyone aspires to, then Leicester's story is to uncover the abscess covered under the gorgeous light!
The Wrights family is a standard American middle-class family. It has its own house in the suburbs. Both husband and wife are dressed in bright clothes and are working their own business. Although the daughter is rebellious, she still honestly attends high school.
It may look pretty good on the surface, but it has actually started to fester. The middle-aged crisis, adolescence crisis, personality crisis, communication crisis, trust crisis and so on have enveloped the family, which has made their lives extremely boring. The whole movie exposes the dark side of the American Dream naked, so
"The two movies released in a month are telling the same subject from completely different perspectives, and they are also the same producer of the same company? It's so funny!" Angela covered her head with a headache, what was she thinking? Actually ignore this, do you really treat yourself like that? !!
What to do now? "Never Compromise" has been released, so delay the release of "American Beauty"? But how is it possible that the trailer has been shown for two weeks and the preview is scheduled for tomorrow. Why is there no important question to delay the release time? Angela was frowning.
Well, maybe from a different perspective, the core of Irene's story is inspirational, and the American Dream is only a small part of it; Leicester's story is to completely tear the scars of the middle class, everyone and every family The problems that may or may have been encountered are actually only a small part of the American Dream. So the conflict is not so strong? Angela has repeatedly thought that if this is the case, the box office may not be very large compared with the original one, even if there is a loss. After all, these two films can resonate with the audience. Maybe someone likes both may not necessarily say.
Then this question can be put aside. Anyway, as long as these two films do not lose money, the task of making money should of course be responsible for the more entertaining movies. It must be included in the post-production "Mummy", but there are still What should I do? Angela couldn't help but want a bitter smile. Annette Benin's acting skills were not lost to Kevin Spacey. If Kevin is nominated for the best actor, it is not that Annette will compete with her aunt for the best female. The main character? Well, Aunt's odds should be bigger, after all, it can be said that "Never Compromise" was chosen by her. Alpacino can only be a supporting actor?
Forget it, just forget it. Angela shook her head and looked through the plane to the thick clouds outside. Some things can be mastered by herself, but some things may not be mastered by herself. At this time, it depends on luck, so wait until the nomination list for next year comes out. Right.
After deciding on it, Angela no longer struggled with this kind of possible collision. Anyway, she didn't drink less crashes from the beginning anyway, so she returned to Boston and put her mind on her studies.
Soon, the audience in Los Angeles who came to preview the news was very satisfied with the movie. Ed Kam also called in person to praise it, and at the same time kept asking her what was in her head like a curious baby. . After adding the logo and subtitles to the beginning and end of the film, the movie copy of "American Beauty" quickly came to the major theater lines, and then time went to December 16, 1998.
In the click, Angela sighed and Shi Ran got out of the car. It was different from the all-black dress before participating in "Never Compromise", although a black sleeved women's jacket was still worn on the outside, Indeed, the white shoulder dress with a pattern, even if the hem crosses the knee, but the diagonal pull still makes her long legs full of temptation.
Angela, who was smiling but ignored the questions, came to the cast members who were posing for reporters to greet the actors, Kevin, Annette, Chris, and Weiss, and Mina, Sa. La, the six main actors have come to New York. Yes, the premiere venue is at the Emmy Awards venues-the Siegfried Theater in New York.
After greeting everyone happily, and adding screenwriter Allen from the other side, the creative members of "American Beauty" are basically there, and the reporters will be able to make another pass.
"They said you participated in the audition, what do you think?" Angela asked Mina in a low voice while changing position.
"I feel pretty good, but sometimes I always find it difficult to see me in the movie." Mina was a little absent-minded.
"Why? You think that your temptation to Kevin is too small?" Angela asked jokingly, watching her occasionally look at Sarah and couldn't help but say: "Do you think you and Sarah Who performed better? "
"Hey, Angie, when do you like to ask such boring questions?" Mina, who smiled at the reporters, answered with dissatisfaction, "Do you think it is important for us to be better?"
"Of course not." Angela also smiled in front of the flash. "I'm just trying."
"Tentative?" Mina's tone didn't hide from her attention to Angela from the beginning, but instead of continuing to talk to her, Angela switched to Sarah's side: "How do you feel, Sarah? Pull?"
"Not bad, at least I don't have to face my navel." Sarah said sarcastically.
Damn it! If it wasn't for so many reporters Angela who wanted to roll her eyes, there was a huge poster outside the Siegfried Theater. The content was naturally a bunch of roses next to the navel, and she could not resist the persuasion of Angela. Her lower abdomen, although the poster was modified in the computer at the end, but her lower abdomen was indeed taken, so it is not a comfortable thing for Angela to show it to everyone so naked. Was Huyou going to shoot? The only thing that comforted Anji was that she had strictly forbidden to use posters as a publicity point from the beginning.
"It's true," Angela suddenly changed the subject after saying this from her teeth: "Yes, leave me enough time, I need you to act as a heroine in a horror movie early next year. . "
"Is that the Eastern style you said last time?" Sarah's tone was full of surprise.
"Yes."
Angela replied succinctly, and then began her harsh revenge: "How are you going?"
"What? Socializing?" Sarah replied in amazement, and Angela quickly took it: "Don't pretend to be silly in front of me, dear, don't forget that you lived in my room that night."
After waiting for Sarah to respond, Angela started to greet everyone to enter the theater, and still ignored the "true affection" of the reporters. The people who came to the premiere in the theater were chatting in pairs. Angela, after chatting with Kevin and Annette, did not hesitate to leave them to join the group waiting for her. It ’s gone. The friends who came to the premiere today except Scarlett, Liv, Tanari and Ivanka and Paris.
"To be honest, today's premiere reminds me of the premiere of last year's" Titanic. "Angela said seriously.
"Are the two premieres similar? I can't tell." Natalie shrugged.
"Yeah, I don't think you are more beautiful than that, nor do you think this time is better than that." Liv nodded for a while, thought about it, and then said, "Maybe because this is your first time. A premiere for a film you directed? "
"Don't Angela have directed three films? Hasn't it ever premiered?" Ivanka was slightly surprised.
"If you pay more attention to entertainment reports, you will surely know, Ivanka." Natalie pouted and laughed, she and Ivanka could talk better.
"Well, I read more fashion magazines." Ivanka crooked her mouth cutely.
"Do you think so?" Angela snorted softly, making an all-incorrect look, "I said it was very similar because --- it is necessary to dress like this even when the temperature is so low Rarely in public. "
Holding her arms in an imageless manner, she rubbed vigorously: "In short, I will never hold a movie premiere in such weather! This is a disaster."
Although she knew she was dressed up in that distressed style, but a few girls covered their mouths for a while and laughed, but Angela noticed that although Paris also raised her corner of her mouth, she resumed the ordinary coping in the first time. The smirk, which reminds her that she hasn't talked much, Angela always thinks what happened to her.
The movie is about to start. Everyone went to their seats. Angela took two steps and then turned around and went to Paris. She patted her gently, and asked in a low voice, "Paris, you are fine. ?"
"Why, Miss Genius, do you have anything to say?" Paris flashed something seriously, biting her lips and staring at Angela's feeling of being a thousand miles away. Angela's heart could not help but start to worry, No matter how much Paris used to entangle her, she always took the form of praying for approval. This situation never appeared before, and Angela obviously felt that she wanted to put up with a social attitude towards herself, but she did not Can hold back, maybe ??
"I'm sorry, Paris," Angela glanced around, saying in a sincere tone. "I was in a bad mood that day, so that ’s why I knew I should have said sorry to you, but I have been so busy that I have been dragged on until now. I am really sorry that my language hurt you."
"It doesn't matter, Angie." Although Paris smiled, she was smirking no matter how she looked at it. "As a famous genius, I believe that this sincerity and generosity still exist, so I accept your apology. "
Although she was saying this, but there was no acceptable meaning in her tone, Angela opened her mouth to say something, and then Paris threw a thunderbolt in her ear: "Yes, Nikki and I have tried, It really feels great. "
This thunderbolt was so amazing that Angela didn't return to her mind for a while. When she wanted to ask a question, Paris had already sat in her position, and the lights had dimmed, so she had to go to her seat. .
How could this be? !! Angela watched the movie's intro a bit. God testified that she was just a slang and a joke? Didn't Parry think about it with her head? !! Damn it! Damn it! How could I say that!
"What happened?" The agent sitting next to her noticed a change in her mood.
"No, it's nothing, just some other issues to think about." Angela smiled reluctantly and focused her eyes on the screen. Now is not the time to pay attention to this. After the movie is over, the reception will be with those "Uncrowned Kings". Fighting, such a movie can make them unrecognizable by saying anything wrong, so let's talk tomorrow.
Two hours passed quickly. Unexpectedly, Angela was of course quiet in the hall after the last subtitles were turned on. This situation lasted for more than ten minutes before a sudden applause. If you suffocate, you can see that most of the applause people are still sighing.
"What happened to them just now?" Ivanka whispered next to Angela as applause was ready to leave, and Liv looked at her with a questioning expression as well, only Natali frowned slightly.
"Probably? They have some emotions." Angela shrugged. This movie is the biggest touch for those with rich life experiences. Of course, there are also a lot of spiritual people who can understand, such as
"Angie, I don't know what to say, although you told me the story, but ??" Natalie stared at her eyes with a bitter smile, "The genius's head always bursts out Something amazing. "
"This is just a small attempt. Maybe I'm just precocious." Angela didn't dare to look into her eyes, then raised her leg and went to the exit: "I have to prepare and know what questions these guys will ask at that time. "
Natalie wanted to say nothing but closed her mouth and watched Angela disappear at the exit.
Just as Angela expected, the creators just sat down, a reporter could not wait to ask the question: "Excuse me, Miss Angela, how long have you conceived this script?"
"Sorry for this gentleman, the creator of the script is Mr. Allen Ball, not me." Angela answered with a smile, it was so good that she was still thinking about how to destroy their momentum, but now she sent it to her own door. Come.
In a chuckle, the reporter showed an awkward look, but it did not last long, and soon returned to normal. He turned to the screenwriter Alan: "Sorry, Mr. Allen, Miss Angela gave us a self-directed image It's too deep. "
"I can understand." Alan smiled. "Actually, Miss Angela also made a lot of relevant comments in the script."
The reporter suddenly turned his eyes to Angela, but the other party seemed to be aware that the old was sitting there, so the reporter asked Allen with interest: "So Mr. Allen, how do you think What about this script? "
"If you talk about it in detail, it should be the inspiration I got when I saw the paper bag flying in the wind at the World Trade Center. Yes, it was the paper bag that Rich used the dv at the end of the movie ??" Allen immediately talked, adding The reporters asked a lot of questions and spoke for several minutes.
"Miss Angela, as a director of this movie, how do you know the characters in the movie?" A female reporter once again pointed her gun at Angela.
"I think this question should be answered by a few starring actors first, and their performances are all satisfying to me," Angela said with a smile, four or two pounds away from the focus. "Kevin first, you know he wanted to I want to take this role but I don't want to accept it. I have spent a lot of time trying to convince him.
The reporters suddenly looked questioning to Spencer, and Kevin grinned and laughed: "Well, honestly, the conversation with Angela has me remembered so far, this has taught me a lesson, It's best to forget her age and gender when chatting with Miss Genius! "
The reporters chuckled, and then Spencer continued: "I think the role of Leicester represents the image of the American middle class, at least the image of most middle classes."
The six main actors, Kevin and Annette, said their views according to law, and broke a lot of news in the middle. For example, Chris once wanted to reject the role and was only accepted by the agent after persuasion. Several young actors Zhong Weisi's speech was the best. Although it still looks like a taciturn word, at least every sentence has an idea. By contrast, Mina and Sarah's speech can only be considered satisfactory.
However, thinking does not necessarily develop well, and Hollywood obviously prefers more handsome men and more beautiful women. Angela thought silently, and then made a concluding statement under the watchful eye of the reporters: "I don't want to say how surprised I was when I first saw the script. The dull, suffocating air that filled the lines was unbearable. Ca n’t help but feel compassion, and then reflect on what it is for, and why is it so? Are people really numb to the point where they ca n’t find the beauty around them? So after reading a lot of community survey reports, I decided to pass these through the movie show out."
"The script of" Never Compromise ", which was released recently, was written by you, but today's" American Beauty "is directed by you. How do you think in the face of such a different theme?" A reporter raised his hand again Road.
"There is no such thing as a misunderstanding, because these are two different aspects of the same thing." Angela smiled. "We can't deny those successful people who work hard for their ideals and succeed, but also can't deny that they are living People who are gradually numb on the ground, I do n’t say much about the American Dream, I just show it-front and back-let you see the problem, I see it and then it shows it, now It's time for you to examine!
