When the lights in the cinema were on, I turned around and looked behind me. Under the ground, many people's faces were shining. When I looked closely, the flash was caused by tears.

It can be said that the first forty minutes of "Imperial Hotel" are bloody, violent, and even a little evil, but the next forty minutes are all concentrated on the life of a black child, and the bitterness in it makes the people in the entire cinema sad.

After watching the movie, they realized that this movie had nothing to do with mystery, horror, and violence. What it wanted to tell was a warm and even affectionate fable. As for what the meaning of this fable is, the audience needs to understand it themselves.

However, more people think that this movie is like a dagger, testing human nature and the good and evil of modern society. After watching the movie, they will feel very heavy, but they don’t know how to resolve it.

Applause rang out. Whether it was people who thought the movie was a bit evil or those who had a prejudice against it from the beginning, whether it was white people with high social status, or many black people who found resonance and weeping in this movie, everyone applauded, and they applauded over and over again. I took Stiller and others on the stage to bow and thank you again and again.

The first part of the DreamWorks Upgrade Trilogy is a hit.

The popularity of the movie was something I didn't expect, and it was also something Stiller didn't expect.

As the director, Stiller was so excited that he could hardly even speak, and his eyes were dull and helpless. He disappeared at the beginning of the party. I asked Gans. Gans said that he ran to the conference room behind the cinema and cried alone in the room.

"Boss, do you want me to come here?" Gans turned around and was about to go to the conference room, but I stopped him.

"Forget it, let him cry. I've been busy for so long. It's time to vent my heart." I sighed, raised my cup and walked towards those who were still discussing the plot of the movie.

"Congratulations, your DreamWorks has released another excellent movie." Natalia walked to my floor with a cup, looking at me, with affectionate feelings.

I shrugged: "You should congratulate Stiller. This movie is the hard work of this kid. There will be many such movies in DreamWorks in the future, so you can wait and see them."

Natalia smiled slightly: "What I look forward to most now is your movie."

"My movie? Hehe, it will take a while to release. What are you busy with recently?" I took a sip of wine.

Natalia said casually: "What else can I do? It's just the arms business." After that, Natalia seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong? I've never seen you look like this before." I frowned.

Natalia stared at me and said in a low voice: "My father is sick and the doctor has had a checkup. It's very serious. Even if he has an operation, he may only have a few years of life."

"I'm very sad." I comforted Natalia.

Natalia shook her head and said to me: "Andre. I'm here today. In addition to watching Stiller's movies, there is another important thing to discuss with you."

I was stunned for a moment and said quickly, "You said, as long as I can do it, I will promise you."

Natalia thought for a while before saying solemnly: "The DuPont Consortium's four arms companies in Los Angeles have never been managed. Paul was not the one who managed it. Now his father was seriously ill and he was transferred back to the headquarters. So now I am the only one who can support him in Los Angeles. Although I can manage it, I am a woman after all, and I am in the arms industry. Many occasions require men to show up. My father also knows that I am not a long-term solution for me to hold on here alone. When I get old and get seriously ill, I will plan for the future. Your Northrop company is the largest arms company in Los Angeles now. Mr. Boggy and Mr. Northrop are good at both business and management. During the cooperation process, our local arms companies have made a full ten times more profit than before. Therefore, my father wants to convey his idea through me. He hopes that the four arms companies in the DuPont Consortium can merge with Northrop."

"Merger?! Miss Natalia, are you kidding?!" Gans exclaimed.

Natalia glanced at Gans: "Gans, do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?"

"Natalia, the merger of the two arms companies is not a trivial matter. It involves a lot of interest division and personnel allocation." I reminded Natalia.

Natalia smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. When I came, my father said that after the two companies merged, Northrop's shareholding accounted for 60% of the company, and we are forty percent. In terms of personnel, I fully represent the DuPont family. How about it, think about it?"

Natalia said this, Gans next to me pulled my clothes, looking excited.

The overall strength of the DuPont family's four arms companies in Los Angeles should be a little stronger than Northrop's company. DuPont Belmondo actually promised that their shares would only account for 40% after the merger of the two companies. Isn't this obviously a loss for himself?

"Miss Natalia, I have something to say to the boss." Gans pulled me to the side and whispered: "Boss, this integration is beneficial to us. Our Northrop company is comparable to their four companies, and they are even a little stronger than us. DuPont Belmondo actually only has 40% of the shares of the new company, which means that we are the major shareholders of the new company, and this advantage can be taken. Besides, in terms of personnel, the DuPont consortium actually sent Natalia, so we have no problem controlling the new company. No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Besides, we can see that she is so meaningful to you. If you work hard, then this newly established super arms company in Los Angeles will be yours. Boss, go ahead, hesitate. Such good things are not something that everyone can encounter." Gans was so happy that he spitted.

"Get out! Your bitch is looking at me as bait!" I glanced at Gans.

Gans was anxious: "Boss! Whether you are a bait or not, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing! There is no need to discuss it with others. Please agree to her quickly."

After saying that, Gans pulled me to Natalia and said to her with a smile: "Miss Natalia, we agree with Mr. DuPont's proposal, especially if you join the new company as the plenipotent representative of DuPont, I

I am very happy. When do I have time to find a place to get the contract?

Natalia felt sweet when she heard Gans' words and looked at me. Her eyes were filled with spring.

"Okay, Andre, I'll go to your company to find you tomorrow." Natalia smiled at me.

After reaching this agreement, Natalia was very happy. The two of us danced for a while, and when we were tired, we sat on the chair next to us and chatted. As we were chatting, I heard a sound behind me. I turned around and saw Heidi standing behind her, following Lenny next to her.

"Leni? When did you come? Sit down quickly!" I pulled a chair for Leni.

"I just saw Lenny! I'm transparent!?" Heidi looked at me angrily, then glanced at Natalia again.

Since the last time he bet on the card, Heidi and Natalia have not had the same relationship as before, but they still have a little friction between them.

Lenny sat on a chair and put a beautiful big box house on the table.

"What is this?" I asked Lenny in wonder, looking at the big box wrapped in exquisite cotton.

Lenny hugged my arm and raised his smooth forehead proudly: "Clothes! What else can it be? One set of clothes made for you last time by Old Wolfgang, and the other set I made for you."

"Make the floor for me! Then I have to take a good look." I was so happy that I reached out and pulled out the box inside, and then opened it. I saw that there was indeed a set of clothes inside.

Although this set of clothes is not as luxurious as the old Wolfgang style, it is more comfortable and casual, but it has a gentlemanly style. On the chest and arms of the top, there are still Corleon family's family emblem and vine logos, stand collars and double-breasted ones. I can't let it go at first glance.

"Did you really make this clothes?" I picked up the clothes, a little unbelievable.

Lenny pouted and said, "Of course it's! Look, my fingers are blistering!" After that, Lenny stretched her white and tender little hand in front of me.

Sure enough, a large blood blister appeared on the palm of my hand, which was obviously ground when I held the scissors.

I kissed Lenny's little hand, making Lenny giggle.

"Andre, go and change it in the back." Lenny said to me impatiently.

I smiled and nodded, and carried the clothes to the conference room at the back to change.

When I appeared at the cocktail party again, many people were stunned by the clothes I was wearing. Todd Browning, Sam Warner and others came over and asked me where the clothes were made, and even Hayes ran over.

Lenny looked at me surrounded and watched so many people praise her clothes, and was so proud that her chin was raised to the sky. She hugged my arms and told others about the clothes styles of Warsaw clothing stores and started advertising.

Under the demonstration of my standard model, you can't say that many people present were interested in the Warsaw clothing store. Many people said on the spot that they had to go to the Warsaw clothing store and asked Lenny to design a few sets of clothes. Lenny couldn't even close her mouth.

"How is it? Are you particularly accomplished?" Looking at Lenny who was so busy that she was sweating profusely, I jokingly wiped her sweat with heartache.

Lenny cunningly spread his hands and said, "There is no way, the sense of accomplishment is not important to first-class fashion designers. What we pursue is the perfection of the works."

Her words made Heidi next to her sore teeth.

"You dead woman, you are still fiddling with each other!" Heidi pointed at Lenny and shook her head.

"Miss first-class designer, I heard that Warsaw clothing store is developing rapidly under your leadership. I don't know what plans are going on in the future?" Looking at Lenny with a springy face, I felt warm.

Lenny smiled and said, "We are planning to open the first branch, which will probably be opened before Christmas. If it develops well, we will open branches in major cities. In this way, we can form a sales network."

"Sister-in-law Lenny, as you say that. Isn't our clothing store chain like Jack's fast food restaurant??" Gans was a little surprised.

Lenny nodded heavily: "Our goal is to spread the Warsaw clothing store, and we have already started to build our own brand series. After the first branch opens, we will launch our first brand, 'Eve's Temptation'."

"'Eve's Temptation'?! What is this!?" Why do I feel that the name of this brand is so familiar?

Lenny blushed and looked at Natalia, Heidi and Holgina next to him, saying, "This brand is made of women's underwear, mainly designed by me."

"Good underwear! Good underwear! Women's underwear is too rustic nowadays! People don't have much appetite." Gans was excited.

Looking at his deep understanding, the women were all smiling happily.

"Leni. I have designed the first set, don't forget to wear it for me." I whispered to Leni.

"Rogue!" Lenny looked at me sweetly, his face flushed with shame.

Then a group of women ran aside and talked about their underwear. Looking at their backs, I let out a sigh of joy.

"Do you feel great happiness?" Gans said sarcastically.

I stared at Lenny's back and murmured, "I don't know why, but I suddenly felt that these women were all mature."

"How do you say this?! Why didn't I see it?" Gans smacked his lips.

I shrugged: "Heidi used to be a young lady who knew how to go shopping and sell things all day long. She was so angry that she couldn't stand anything. She was so furious that she could not stand anything. She was so furious that she could open her mouth. Now she was a director who went in the wind and rain and managed the company in an orderly manner. Isn't this maturity? Lenny was originally weak and simple, almost inseparable from society. Now she has become a top designer in the Warsaw clothing store and has a career she likes, knows how to fight and struggle. Isn't this maturity? Holgina used to know nothing except being a bodyguard and fighting. She hated the world quite a bit, but now she knows considerate people and knows to treat everyone around her well. Isn't this maturity? As for Natalia, I think you have also seen her changes. You know what she looked like when she first met her. Now look at her again, calmly and calmly, and do things without any leakage. More importantly, she is no longer as cynical as before. Isn't this maturity?"

Gans' eyes were straightened by my words. After looking at me for a long time, he said blankly: "Boss. I suddenly realized that I am now

I admire you!"

"Why?"

"I think I am a romantic and handsome man. In Hollywood, I am also a woman's favorite thing. But compared with you, you are a big witch. These four women, plus Jiabao, five, can be woken up with laughter after getting it for a middle of the night, but as for you, you can just wave to five! Five! I am envious, I am so envious! Why do you think I am not so charming...ah!"

Before Gans could finish speaking, I kicked him out.

On the first day of December, when I got up and went downstairs, I found that almost everyone in the DreamWorks yard was extremely excited. Just when I was wondering, Gans handed a dozen newspapers to my hand.

I didn't expect "Imperial Hotel" to cause such a big social uproar and would have such a large scale.

Almost all newspapers on this day regarded "Imperial Hotel" as their focus, and each newspaper spent most of its pages to discuss the movie from each room.

In addition to newspapers, six Los Angeles radio stations stopped broadcasting all local programs for the whole morning, and invited many film critics, film theorists, sociologists and ordinary audiences to the radio room to discuss the movie. The phone call filming on the scene was almost blown up.

Various social groups also responded strongly, especially some human rights organizations, who welcomed the movie. They called this movie a great contemporary American Declaration of Human Rights. In Los Angeles, many black people flocked to the streets holding signs and demonstrations. They held posters of "Imperial Hotel", demanding that the government give them equal political and personal power, and demanding that they be given an equal social space with whites. One of them was a poster of Orwell, who held his knees and watched the clouds on the rooftop. It was hung on a building in front of the Los Angeles city government, and the black people added a sentence: "This is our children, this is our lives!"

What is even more exciting is that this collective parade of black people has spread rapidly in Los Angeles and has a tendency to evolve into a political movement.

At the entrance of DreamWorks. At the entrance of every theater, fast food restaurant in DreamWorks, and even at every place where "Imperial Hotel" is shown, you will see people shouting, among which there are blacks and whites. They shout the lines in the movie: "Happiness is to climb from the balcony to the rooftop, happiness is to watch the clouds floating in the sky, and listen to the sound of wind wandering around the city. Happiness is not worried about not having enough food to sleep well, happiness is to have a father, mother, grandpa, grandma and sister. Happiness is to have a warm home. Happiness is to have a seat on the car without having to separate white and black seats, happiness is to make you face the world with a smile." And print these lines on homemade movie posters and flyers to passers-by. This movie has become a fuse that has caused their years of dissatisfaction.

In front of the nearly 20,000 cinemas of different sizes that were placed in the Imperial Hotel, in addition to seeing the crowd shouting slogans, a spectacular scene that can be watched is a long queue waiting for the movie at the entrance of the theater. These cinemas are playing the movie for almost 24 hours a day, and many copies are melted and burned because of continuous playback.

Because of "Imperial Hotel", a huge turmoil is coming.

On December 1st, the first page of the Los Angeles Times did not put any manuscripts on it. The whole page was filled with a huge poster of "Imperial Hotel". On the poster, Orwell, holding the angel's heart, looked at everyone who looked at this photo with a sad look. On the poster, the Los Angeles Times used a line of bright red and rough titles: What is happiness?!

As a newspaper with great influence in Los Angeles and even the entire West, the Los Angeles Times spent all its twenty pages on this newspaper, and such space is unique.

On the second edition, the Los Angeles Times described in detail the screening of the Imperial Hotel and the huge impact it caused: "Starting last night, the US cinemas were filled with tears and almost angry roars! There were numerous demonstrations in major cities, whether white or black, no matter what attitude they had towards black people, on this day, they took to the streets. In Los Angeles, hundreds of black people were sent for crying sadly and crying.
