Chapter 94 Rush with Chaplin!

The film has achieved great success, not only out of the surprises of Stenberg and others, but also from my surprises.

"Andre, today, I finally saw what a real movie is and what a real movie is!" At the banquet after the movie, Hays held my hand tightly, his voice trembling: "If you have any difficulties in the future, even if you come to me and Grant, for the people on Harvey Street, and for Hollywood, you must keep making good movies! Hollywood, no, in the United States, it has been a long time since there is such a touching and so direct-to-life movie!"

Hayes' eyes were red, and he was deeply moved by the scene just now.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hayes, I will!" I tried to squeeze out a smile.

Grant next to him was speechless. He held his handkerchief and kept wiping his eyes, not even shaking hands with me: "You kid will make me cry! I'll go out and ignore you!"

The bosses of the company who signed a screening contract with DreamWorks promised me with confidence that if nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely keep this movie until the Christmas period. Many directors, such as Todd Browning, Strauheng and others, sincerely congratulated me on directing a successful movie. Of course, I also took this opportunity to recommend Stenborough to everyone. After all, he also had his contributions. Stenborough did not disappoint me. He got along with the director and used the film theories I learned from me to make those people fascinated.

As for Chaplin, he hurriedly left the stage after the end, and then I never saw him. It is said that when he was asked by reporters at the end, he only said one sentence to the reporter: "This movie is a good movie, and I have to admit that Andre Corleon is a genius among Hollywood film directors."

After the premiere, I did not take Heidi and Lenny home for dinner, but returned to Harvey Street surrounded by people and company employees, where it had long become a sea of ​​joy.

From the gate of DreamWorks to the intersection of Harvey Street, there are torches and colorful lights everywhere on both sides of the street, Harvey Street people spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, throwing petals and gifts to my car like a hero.

Later, I simply walked out of the car and integrated with them with the staff.

Everyone held hands and sang and danced, ate black bread, and drank homemade spirits, and had a lot of fun.

Yassel told me that the three theaters that were specially screened for the Harvey for free, at the moment when the movie ended, the ceiling of the theater was almost blown away by people's crying and crying. The subtitles made Harvey cry with joy. They were moved by the subtitles and hugged each other. Long live the dream factory.

I told Yassel that I understand their mood and their kindness, and that if possible, I would give them all my enthusiasm without hesitation!

After all, this poor but kind Harvey Street is the root of DreamWorks!

On the morning of 9, all media, newspapers, magazines, and radio stations of Los Angeles set off a huge frenzy of public opinion. The center of public opinion is naturally "People who ask for help". Unlike "Lust and Caution", all the tone this time is one-sided: I use all the good and praise words to me and this movie.

Hollywood filmmakers, Strauheng, King Vidor, Liu Berchen, John Ford, Cice Dimil, Leibs Piley and others highly praised the various techniques in this movie, especially the "Water Massacre". In an interview with Los Angeles, Liansenate said: "This is a movie that is difficult to explain clearly. Mr. Corleon used this movie to confirm his theory of montage. The scene of the Water Massacre will definitely become a classic imitation object for later movies. After "People Who Seek Help", Hollywood will not have any art movies!"

William Hayes, Grant, Los Angeles Mayor Pang Mao and others also expressed their impressions. They said this is a masterpiece that deeply focuses on reality. Many film researchers pointed out that this film has many "first" innovations that have not been before, such as "the first time subtitles have participated in the construction of the meaning of the film as a film as an organic whole", "the first scene of a frontal shooting", "the first poetic film", "the first realist film that goes out of the studio to focus the camera on the bottom", "the first film that perfectly combines fast editing and slow motion"..., the many firsts have made all film researchers excitedly declare: "If we want to thoroughly digest this masterpiece, it will take at least 50 years. To be precise, this video|:. "Lust Caution" really makes Hollywood a country of movies!"

The Citizens published a set of interesting numbers. In the 343 cinemas in the North District of Los Angeles, there were 697 viewers who were unconscious on the spot because of the movie, and there were two in almost every cinema. For this reason, the Second Los Angeles Hospital was overloaded on the night of the 9th and almost paralyzed. The newspaper quoted a sentence from the director of the Second Hospital in the newspaper, "What surprised me is that these people who were carried into the hospital, even if they were unconscious, still burst into tears. After waking up, they were about to rush out of the hospital. We asked them where they were going, and they said they were going to the dock!"

In the movies in the Los Angeles Pier Area, many dock workers pulled them by hand after watching the movie

On the street, they shouted the line, proudly raised their heads, and built a huge rudder to send it to DreamWorks in the second place.

Faced with strong social reactions, the voices I originally expected to sing the opposite tune did not appear, and both Paramount and Fox were kept silent.

The theater managers of the film company that originally signed a screening contract with me flocked to DreamWorks to ask for the beans. Those who did not sign the contract lined up outside my office door. The scene was extremely hot. More than 40 copy machines of Shanlige Film Company were printing copies day and night and calling me and saying that after finishing the work, they would definitely invite me to the Imperial Hotel for a meal.

Gaomeng Company and Baidai Company sent special personnel to the company to pick up copies. They rushed directly from the company to Europe. In a short time, "People Who Called for Help" would meet European movie audiences.

Although the situation is very good, some chaos inevitably occurs.

On the day of the premiere, more than 20 DreamWorks employees at the Stenburg Cinema were opposite>: The staff of the hospital flew a fight, and 6 people were injured on our side, and 14 of the other party were smashed into the hospital. For this, Chaplin and I were summoned to the South District Police Department of Los Angeles.

"Stenborough, you guys have caused me a big disaster!" When I arrived at the door of the police station, I shouted at Stenborough.

Why, I have never been in a stumbling block before? Now, the big girl has been in the sedan chair for the first time, and it’s not because she caused some trouble.

Stenborough smiled apologized: "Boss, you want to help me get rid of this mess. You won't want me to squat for ten days and a half months! If that happens, who will make money for you to make movies?"

"Get out! I really want to fire you!" I was angry and laughing, either.

I can only regret that I was confused and handed over such a sensitive cinema to this live treasure. He hung a huge DreamWorks Red Dragon logo on the cinema. Just hang it. He also hung a villain with a top hat and a crutch under the claws of the red dragon. Who doesn’t know that image is Chaplin’s business card?! People from the United States stood opposite and looked at the man under Honglong, pressing an ugly top hat with a grin. How could they swallow it?!

So, revenge appeared. Lianmei Company hung a little dragon under the Chaplin with a crutch, a sign on the theater, according to their employees, which was not a dragon but a snake at all. Coincidentally, the dragon happened to be under the Chaplin's crutch.

The employees of DreamWorks have always been spoiled by me and have always had extremely sensitive self-esteem and arrogance. How could they bear this anger? They added many portraits of women around the villain who had first added the top hat. These women were all women who had an affair with Chaplin. Although the faces of these portraits were all taken off, everyone who had seen them knew who was on it. What's more coincidentally, there were Bickfort in these portraits. She was wearing very few clothes and holding Chaplin's thighs with a hot figure. That day, her husband Van Punk happened to be in the United States No. 1 Cinema. Of course, she was furious when she saw this thing, so she brought more than 30 of her subordinates to smash the scene.

Almost all of the more than 20 employees in the Stenborough Cinema were originally a few fights in Hollywood. Seeing Van Punk coming to smash the scene, they rushed up and beat the other party down with a ping-pong. 14 were smashed |: Among them, there were Van Punk, and half of the six injured people were pretending.

With such a riot, DreamWorks and Lianmei have become the leader.

When I entered the police station, I met Chaplin with a blue face at the door. There was a bandage man behind him. I looked carefully for a long time and found out that it was Van Punk. He was a little suave, but now his mouth was swollen and his nose was crooked. Two pandas had red eyes and the other one was purple and black, and a crutch. If it weren't for the police station, I would have thought he was acting.

Neither side spoke and entered a room and sat on both sides.

Chaplin looked at me with his eyes blazing fire, his mouth hanging and his hands on his hips, very funny.

If my eyes could kill people, I would probably have been bloody.

How to say this fierce fight was caused by the guys from the Stengburg Cinema. Before we started interrogating, we lost. It doesn’t matter if we lose money. The key is that this is a matter of losing face. If Chaplin takes the opportunity to make any unreasonable requests, then I will be better.

I sat in my seat, with countless awls standing under my butt, restless.

"Soldier is here!" The policeman outside the door shouted, and a man walked into the house with a baton.

As soon as I saw him, my originally nervous mood suddenly became relaxed.

The fat on his face was as big as a bulge, and the fat on his face trembled up and down as he walked, his eyes and a collapsed nose bridge. I have seen this person, and he is quite a bit of friendship. The fat sheriff who saved Jack, Heidi called him uncle.

Cook sat down, looked at me and Chaplin, and said seriously: "What the hell is going on with you?"

Van Punk immediately stood up and said it in great detail. He was originally a drama, but later he acted in a movie. Naturally, he showed his true feelings and his experiences and our unreasonableness.

All the best is to be fully realized.

Of course, Stenberg was not an idle meal. As soon as Van Punk finished speaking, he immediately responded: "I think we are villains!? We are villains and care about your United Beauty. Is that villain Chaplin? Do you think that is Mr. Chaplin? You point it to me if it looks like a nose or an eye! It is obvious that your company is popular when watching our movie, and it is jealous and annoyed. We put on the logo of our company to humiliate us! Sheriff, they are not humiliating the logo of an excellent company, but humiliating the incompetent police officers in the South District. They dare to beat people in public in your jurisdiction. That day, hundreds of viewers and pedestrians could testify, but they ran to us to make trouble! As for the fourteen people they injured, they were incompetent. So many people bullied us and were beaten up by us, and they still had the face to raise it!?"

I almost laughed at the scene after listening to Stenborough's words. This kid is so rude. After tinkering with this, Lianmei is so ignorant.

"You! You are shameless! Your DreamWorks have a bunch of women under the villain, which is clearly an insult to Mr. Chaplin's personality, and there is also a portrait of my wife, Bickford. As a husband and a loyal collaborator, I have the right to defend my dignity!" Fan Punk was so angry that he almost poked Stenborough with a crutch.

I lowered my head and covered my face and shook my head. As a person, I was considered the best at being a Van Punk. My wife cuckolded herself and had to maintain the image of adulterers. Who can match this mind?

Stenberg smiled wickedly: "Bah! We add a woman under the villain to highlight the momentum of the Red Dragon, and to show that the reason why DreamWorks was successful was because of the support of many male and female audiences. Mr. Van Punk, dare you, Mr. Chaplin has ever had a crush on you?!"

"Of course not!" No matter how bad Van Punk would not snatch his shit in public.

"That's all! Since there is no affair, you can defend it! Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?! Besides, those villains have no face, how do you know that one of them is your wife?? I still say it is my wife!" Stenberg burst into a thousand miles, and he led Van Punk into the trap he set step by step, making Van Punk speechless, and the mute eats Coptis chinensis and can't say it.

"Okay, OK, stop arguing, sit down for me!" Cook suppressed his laughter, looked through the documents in his hand, and said, "After a detailed investigation, the witness's testimony and the arguments between both parties, I will make a handling opinion on behalf of the South District Police Department."

Cook cleared his throat and read out: "1. This incident was caused purely by Mr. Van Punk, who led his subordinates to the theater of DreamWorks to cause trouble. He also injured the other party. The medical expenses of the factory employees were also fined $2. Second, United Apologies publicly apologized to DreamWorks Film Company."

"Protest, Sheriff, I protest! This is clearly a reversal of black and white!" Chaplin jumped up after hearing the verdict.

"If you have any objections, you can appeal to the Hollywood General Administration within five days." Cook looked at Chaplin and added: "But I think the General Administration will uphold the original judgment."

"I not only want to appeal, but also accus you of shelter. Just wait to go to court!" Chaplin took Van Punk away with his sleeves, his attitude was extremely arrogant.

Watching the two of them leave the room, Cook pointed at Stenborough and smiled, "Stenborough, you are so sarcastic!"

Stenberg laughed loudly.

"You two know each other?" I said curiously.

"We are not just acquaintances, we are drunk friends. We used to be drunk together. Mr. Corleon, we have met." Cook smiled and shook hands with me.

"Yes, yes, I haven't thanked you for letting Jack off that time. I'm sorry to bother you again this time." I smiled.

Cook waved his hand: "Small things, small things. Mr. Corleon, let alone you, I will judge this way today. Van Punk and Chaplin, two guys, have long wanted to beat them up. I did a good job in the North District, but because they drove drunk and drove, they deducted my salary and demoted me to the South District!"

Only then did Stenburg and I realize it suddenly.

"But, Mr. Cook, what will you do if they appeal and accus you?" I asked worriedly.

"Let them work hard. The sheriff who is in charge of this is my good brother, it's okay!" Cook laughed.

To thank Cook, Stenborough and I invited him to a meal at a high-end restaurant next to the police station. After the meal, I asked Stenborough to stuff a check of $3 into his bag. Cook didn't say anything, and finished the meal happily, smiled and said goodbye to us. Before leaving, I told me to find him if I have any trouble in the future.

This mess was put on the newspaper, but the result surprised many people. United States not only paid the fine in shame, but also published a public apology letter in the newspaper. Chaplin was so shameless that he was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed.

This incident became a joke for Los Angeles people after dinner, and Chaplin's romantic affairs with many women were even more rumored.
