Andre, this is the most beautiful movie I have ever seen!" When the movie was screened, Coolidge grabbed my hand while squeezing his nose.

When the lights in the cinema light up one after another, what I saw were faces full of bright smiles, faces of satisfaction, joy, and happiness.

This movie allows them to see the light of life and the sweet things in the world. After they have just experienced the great riots, struggles and blood, nothing can comfort their hearts more than such a movie.

The applause rang out and it passed away for a long time.

On December 14th, it was Hollywood Christmas.: On the evening, almost all film companies launched their own big dramas. MGM Sissidimill's "Volgaard", Paramount John Ford's "Blue Angel", Mutual Aid Company Senath's "The Bride in the Sleeping Car", Warner Bros. Liu Berchin's "Student Prince", 20th Cinema King Victor's "The Great Bartles", George Abbott's "The Love Woman" by George Stevens, Columbia's "Iron Man" plus Clark Brookman's "The Price of Death" by Clark Brookman of the Issane-Callum League and "The Black Pirates" by Chaplin and Parker, the premiere of the night, reached 11 movies.

The vigorous Christmas period reached its peak this night.

Audiences who walk on the street will find that they suddenly have many choices this night. Almost every cinema under the film company will show the movies produced by their own company, which makes the theater system very lively.

But that night, Hollywood and the entire United States focused on the No. 1 theater in DreamWorks and on the Hollywood Story.

There was only one voice in Los Angeles that night that resounded throughout the city. Then tap dance and singing! This song and dance movie immerses people in great joy and makes people suddenly realize that songs can be sung like this, dance can be danced like this, movies can be shot like this, people can live like this.

President Coolidge personally attended the premiere. The award of the Congressional Medal of Honor made DreamWorks a glory. After many people came out of the cinema, they couldn't help but temptation in the movies to turn around and buy tickets before entering. Such a movie was too new for them and directly hit the soft place in their hearts. They couldn't extricate themselves.

After the premiere, the local cocktail party became a sea of ​​singing and dancing. All the local guests did not stand together with wine glasses as usual and chatted in groups. Instead, they took off their suits, pulled off their tie, rolled up their sleeves and sang and danced on the dance floor until late at night.

December 15th. The media in Los Angeles is simply lively

Movie reports account for almost 90% of all newspapers.

The earliest newspaper of the Los Angeles Times was sold out within half an hour after it was launched. People want to know the news after the premiere of major movies.

This issue of the Los Angeles Times can be said to be a movie exhibition window, and almost every movie released to the evening was reported and commented in detail.

On the front page, it is a special report written by editor-in-chief Douglas. The title is the 2nd of the 926 Film Day!》.

"Last night, 32 Hollywood movies were released at the same time, and 11 of them were Christmas dinners carefully launched by major film companies. It can be said that this day. December: The 1926 local movie day was released in Hollywood, and the film was selected to be screened on the same day. Never. This night, not only Los Angeles, but the whole of the United States was immersed in the movie carnival, and President Coolidge's personal attendance also made the Christmas movie schedule more intense today."

The next one is of course the first to report on DreamWorks "Hollywood Story". In fact, the report on this movie is also the most extensive report in this issue of "Los Angeles Times".

"If last night was 32 movies that won the Christmas season at the same time, then the biggest winner was DreamWorks' Hollywood Story. So, it was not just because at the premiere, Mr. Andre Corleon won the top medal in the United States, but because Mr. Andre Corleon refused the British King to grant him the title of land, but because this movie was innovative in both form and style. It turned Los Angeles and the entire American audience into singers and dancers. Last night, Los Angeles was completely drowned out by the sound of singing and dancing. Everyone returned to their youth and returned to the sweetest and most romantic time in their lives. Such a movie is undoubtedly the best gift for all Americans to receive on Christmas."

Then there are enthusiastic comments on "Hollywood Story".

Adam Bernstein wrote in his article: "Hollywood Story has created a new genre of the most dazzling movies that Hollywood has never appeared. We can see that this new genre has developed with audio films. It is the eyes of a stage play and the vastest display world of recording equipment. It conquered all viewers with exquisite singing and dancing performances, spectacular and pleasing audio-visual effects. Such a movie will undoubtedly occupy an important page in the history of films. It opens the precedent of singing and dancing films and provides a broad road for the development of films. It is a huge impact for both film practitioners and ordinary audiences."

If Adam Bernstein's article shows the significance of "Hollywood Story" to the history of film from a high-level perspective, then Nice Feng Guo's comments seem much more emotional.

"I have to admit that I had a beautiful dream in the cinema last night. In the dream, I returned to my youth and the sweetest time of my life. The movie directed by Andre Corleon is a great movie. He has penetrated songs into daily life, making the originally quiet life swaying and colorful. The inside is lingering love. Singing in the rain, the rain is in the ground. The lonely trees on the hillside are hugged by lovers. Beautiful as a pair of exquisite ancient oil paintings. Such a movie provides people with the possibility of real viewing their hearts and caring for the world. Little by little, it seems so valuable!"

Frank Capra appreciates the performance style in Hollywood Story. He is not stingy with praise: "For a long time, Hollywood movie performance styles have either been

Zhang is like a stage play, either too mechanical and rigid, and it is life. For a long time, the performance style of the actors comes from stage plays. They forget that they are a movie actor. The performance style of the stage play is inappropriate for movies. The exaggerated and artificial style is far from real life. In this regard, Mr. Andre Corleon once made a detailed and wonderful discussion in his masterpiece "The Montage". It can be said that the film "Lust and Caution" opened up the simple and natural performance style brought by the DreamWorks School. Especially since "People Who Seek Help", this natural and simple and original performance style instantly became the goal pursued by all Hollywood actors. We are delighted to see that the performance of the actors on the screen is soft and real. Although there are still problems, Hollywood is constantly improving in performance."

"But just when other directors were still pursuing natural and simple performance styles, Mr. Andre Corleon was no longer satisfied with this. His new film "Hollywood Story" created a new performance style. We can see that the actors in the play have a distinct stage dramatic nature when performing singing and dancing, but opposite to ordinary movies. When we watch it, we do not feel the falseness of their performances, but feel pleasing to the eye. The actors in the play outside of singing and dancing are the same dream factory-style performance style. If these two completely different performance styles appear in other directors' movies, it will undoubtedly be a disaster. However, Mr. Corleon geniusly integrated these two completely different performance styles together!"

"We want to thank Mr. Corleon for once again providing Hollywood with a new epoch-making film style, a new style of performance, which his masterpiece proves. Any performance method can be successful for filmmakers, and the most important thing is that the director grasps the overall ability of the film. In this regard, we have to say that Mr. Andre Corleon is a genius in the film industry."

If Kaplan and others analyze "Hollywood Story" from the perspective of film, then Palatine Stamfordler of Los Angeles Opera explained his understanding of "Hollywood Story" from the perspective of musicals.

"Although "Hollywood Story" is a movie, I have to say that the singing and dancing performances in it cannot be completed by even the top Broadway troupes in the United States. The reason is very simple, that these singing and dancing are too exquisite and professional. Mr. Andre Corleon not only contributed a great movie to us, but also contributed a new dance style to the opera industry. We were surprised to find that this usually despised dance style actually has such great charm. Mr. Astaire's choreography and Mr. Porter's soundtrack make "Hollywood Story" not ashamed even in the most famous song and dance drama! I have a premonition that in the near future, Broadway will have an extra classic song and dance drama, which will last on the stage with many famous song and dance dramas, and its name is "Hollywood Story"!"

The Los Angeles Times' evaluation of "Hollywood Story" is extremely highly praised and has no objection, but they are not so polite to other movies.

—

The first thing to be affected is "The Bride in the Sleeper Car" directed by Mark Senate, Mutual Aid Company. Although Senate has achieved success in Hollywood, almost everyone is scolding for his movie.

"Mark Senate is old, so old that he can only repeat the things he has in the past again and again. "The Bride in the Sleeping Car" is not only the novel story, but the shooting techniques and scene schedule are a mess. The most important thing is that there is no thought in this long and protracted movie!"

"Senate should retire, and "The Bride in the Sleeper Car" by Mutual Aid is likely to be the most failed movie of the 32 movies last night."

"Filled with boring dialogue. Extremely disappointing. Is this the Senate we originally met?!"

In addition to Senate, Fox's George Abbott's "The Love Woman" and "Cinderella" directed by Bivor Graf's "Cinderella" are considered "pure body films, obscene, and confusing."

The 20th century film company King Vitor's "The Great Barthle" was mixed, and it was a "sincere film because it speaks about our inner difficulties and indomitableness." Some people accused the film of "distorting human nature and using a movie to pour dirty water on the world."

In addition, "Iron Man" directed by George Stevens in Columbia has been loved by many people. People believe that "this is a masterpiece that can express the tenacity of Westerners. The landlords are portrayed in an extremely real and respectable way."

John Ford's "Blue Angel" and Liu Bieqian's "Prince of Students" have received a lot of praise.

The red and green color film "Black Pirates" directed by Chaplin and Parker, which I care most, was ranked last by the Los Angeles Times.

"This is a movie that is purely playing with skills, to be precise, a movie that is playing with colors. Mr. Chaplin did not bet on his previous film talent on the creation of characters in the film, but instead played the technique before the horse, but sadly, only the monotonous color on the screen did not add any remarkable points to the movie, but instead made the movie more like a joke."

"Mediocre, boring, fancy, shallow, the brilliant Charlotte on the screen was dead, leaving only a Chaplin who had no talent!"

"I have nothing to say about a movie like this. It's not because of its excitement, but because it makes me feel like chewing a candle, and I don't taste any sweetness or bitterness at all."

To be honest, Chaplin's "Black Pirate" received such evaluations, which was beyond my expectations. Because in my impression, although this movie is not a very outstanding movie, it is not so bad. Why did Chaplin still have a certain level in filming movies? In addition, the new technology of red and green color film is adopted for the first time, this movie should have an advantage over ordinary movies. Otherwise, Chaplin would not show off his movie to others proudly all day long.

In this way, this guy really takes himself too seriously, or he wants to regain the glory and praise that once belonged to him. With this mentality, he will inevitably make him look down on his eyes and bent on performing the two-color color technology in the movie, but instead ignores the real things of the movie.

Imagine, very good

Such reports will have any thoughts in your mind. It can also be similar. If Ying fails again, what does it mean to the United States Company that is already shaky. However, these are no longer concerned about the problem.

Among these eleven movies, besides "Hollywood Story", the one that received the most praise is probably the director of "Volgaard Boatman" by MGM Siss Dimil.

"After experiencing the low point brought by "Washington", we saw that we were familiar with Sissy Dimil is back. "Volgaard" has Sissy Dimil's usual outstanding style, compact, profound, gorgeous, pleasing to the eye. Sissy Dimil is worthy of being a first-class Hollywood director. His use of the camera has reached a point of perfection. This movie is a rare masterpiece!"

"A thorough Dimil style! A thorough MGM style! A complete conquering our hearts! Wonderful!"

"It seems that after the mistakes in "Washington", Cissy Dimil learned his lesson. He knew that he could not grasp the grand themes. His best skills were romance films and small-scene chamber dramas. "Volgaard" is superb and attentive. We can see that in terms of style, this movie was obviously influenced by a series of films of Mr. Andre Corleon. To be precise, this is a work of imitation and learning, but it is quite good."

Sissy Dimil was already very skilled. This time, after suffering from "Washington", he honestly returned to his familiar field. Therefore, Sissy Dimil was completely unscrupulous in terms of grasping the subject matter and attitude. With Marskolov's support and MGM's huge publicity and theater screenings, it would be difficult for him to fail.

It seems that Marskolov is going to be happy this time. After the fans brought by "Washington", this old guy has been full of anger. Now, he is very proud.

For me, these opinions that are either praise or criticism are not important. After all, everyone has their own special hobbies. For the same thing, some people may say it is good, and some people say it is bad. But it is worth affirming that these comments often represent the collective opinions of the audience in the end. Once a movie is sentenced to death after its premiere, then the fate of waiting for it can be imagined.

Compared with the detailed comprehensive reports of the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Tribune seems targeted. This newspaper is not concerned with all the movies, but with the huge influence.

The first is "Hollywood Story". On the front page of this newspaper, five pictures were placed one after another. The lowest three are "The Crocodile Pond", "The Empire Hotel" and "Sunrise" posters in the most prominent position in the newspaper. They are posters of "Carma of Brave" and "Hollywood Story".

Below the photo, there is a very thick title: "The First Harvey Awards - DreamWorks Special Award Ceremony?"

Editor-in-chief Limore wrote personally: "With the premiere of "Hollywood Story", this year's DreamWorks plans to have all met the audience except for "Sunrise" being filmed. It can be said that these five movies are very likely to be included in the first Harvey Awards list at the same time. If "The End of the Road" and the movie "Caesar" directed by Griffith, the first Harvey Awards ceremony in 1926. = Will?! Anyway, with the launch of 32 movies last night, and now.: Watch, the novel and wonderful content of "Hollywood Story"

It has completely overwhelmed other films to become the biggest winners, and there is no doubt that this new work by Andre Corleon, and his previous "Brave Heart" will be the most heavyweight film at the first Harvey Awards. From my personal point of view, I would love to see the best director arise between Andre Corleon, the director of "Brave Heart" and Andre Corleon, the director of "Hollywood Story", and I would love to see the best film arise between DreamWorks' Brave Heart and DreamWorks' Hollywood Story. If that's true, I think that scene must be very good."

Next, there are nothing more than a series of commentary articles on "Hollywood Story", including Strauheng, Jin Weido, and many other filmmakers, and the contents are all full of praise. However, the name of one of them stunned me.

The article reads: "To be precise, I hate "Hollywood Story" very much! Because last night, it tricked me into tears for fifteen years, making me like a person over fifty years of dancing and dancing with his feet swollen like pig's trotters! What's more, my voice is now hoarse. And there are a series of major conferences waiting for me!"

"To be precise, I like "Hollywood Story". In this movie, I saw true love and light, and also learned to be moved by singing and dancing. For a person who has experienced everything over the age of fifty and has long been numb in his heart, what is more precious than being moved."

"To be precise, Mr. Andre Corleon is a well-deserved Hollywood film master. Although he is only in his twenties, his films have already reflected the various aspects of the world. With the birth of "Hollywood Story", there is an emerging and vigorous film genre in the history of films, and Hollywood has another glorious masterpiece that can be recorded in history. I am very happy to see that the prosperity of 32 movies were released last night at the same time. I am also very happy to see that Hollywood is producing excellent movies like "Hollywood Story". I am very happy to see that many excellent movie masters like Mr. Andre Corleon can emerge in Hollywood. Only in this way can Hollywood movies develop, and only in this way can human civilization be fruitful!"

This article is short and placed in a not very prominent position in the middle of the comments. However, the author's name made me stunned at the first sight.

"John Calvin Coolidge".

That is Coolidge's full name. Such a full name rarely appears. Coolidge wrote this article in its full name and not on the front page of the Los Angeles Times, the largest newspaper in Los Angeles, but on an inconspicuous position in the Los Angeles Tribune, which undoubtedly shows that at this time, his identity was not the president of the United States, but an ordinary audience and an ordinary American citizen.

But no matter what, when people read this article, they definitely don’t think of civilians, but the US president.

I know too. This is Coolidge helping me intentionally or unintentionally, and he knows more than anyone else the weight of a complimentary article. For this help,

What are you saying?

This president, who is cold and difficult to be in the eyes of others, has a very close relationship with me. Maybe it is because we have similar personalities, maybe it is because he was my fan a long time ago, maybe it is because he is really what people often say, it is fate.

In addition to paying attention to "Hollywood Story", the Los Angeles Tribune also focused on several other films, including "The Black Pirates" by Chaplin and Parker, "The Volga Boatman", "The Blue Angel" by John Ford, "The Bride in the Sleeper", and "The Prince of Students" by Liu Beichen.

The comments about these movies are both praise and criticism, which are basically the same as those of the Los Angeles Times.

The reports of the Post and the Hollywood Times are similar to those of the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Tribune, and they are all large numbers of commentary articles, but the Citizens, which has always been unique, are very different.

The newspaper did not focus on other movies, but only focused on the premiere of "Hollywood Story", but they did not publish anything related to the movie itself. What they care about was the duke's life experience and the refusal to accept the title of the British king at the premiere.

Fabricie, known as the "genius" of the newspaper industry, knew that if he only reported "Hollywood Story", he would definitely not be a match for other newspapers, so he simply gave up paying attention to "Hollywood Story" and put all the newspapers into my place.

On the front page of this issue of Citizens, there is a huge picture, which shows the Corleon family's emblem, the roaring red dragon, above this photo is a thick title: "Andre Corleon: Duke of the descendant of the Polish royal family, the Lokotke family!"

The newspaper first introduced the history of Poland, from the mid-10th century to the modern era, focusing on the glorious history of the Lokotke family and the history of the changes in the Lokotke family. It introduces in detail how Wadivasf. How Lokotke became the king of Poland from the Duke of Kurvia, how the Lokotke family became an ordinary duke from the royal family, how the Lokotke family changed its surname Corleon, and how it traveled across Haiti to Los Angeles.

There was an interview with Old Wolfgang and an interview with Gansti. In order to prove the orthodox nature of my identity, I mentioned the three heirlooms of the Corleon family.

The Citizen Daily reported on my life experience this time as a gossip. The report was filled with words such as "glory", "noble", "duke", and "royal". Anyway, it will definitely make anyone who has read the newspaper accept the views in the article unswervingly.

Then, behind the newspaper, Fabricie wrote a short and concise comment in a spicy and sarcastic tone to illustrate his thoughts on my resignation that I did not accept the title given by the British king.

"Director Andre Corleon, it is correct and obvious that the Duke Andre Corleon does not accept the baron title given by King George V of England. We cannot blame the Duke Corleon for this. If we want to blame, we can only blame Mr. George, who is arrogant in London, for not understanding the matter. How can one duke accept the title of the so-called baron given by the so-called king with another identity? What's more, Mr. Corleon is still an American."

"Last night, I was proud to see an American director who had just received the National Medal of Honor solemnly rejecting the title of title that represents shame to us! I was proud to see that today's Americans can say no to the British. In fact, we were talking about it a hundred or two hundred years ago. It's time for King George in London to wake up. This land of America is no longer their colony, but a real free country!"

The unique content of "Citizens" made their newspapers quickly lose their stock. With the widespread spread of newspapers, almost everyone in Los Angeles recognized the fact that I was a descendant of the Corleon Red Dragon family. They even called me no longer used a director, but a duke. This really made me laugh and cry.

Apart from newspapers, the radio was not idle, but what they did was not to invite some people to the studio to comment on movies one by one, but to play the moving songs from "Hollywood Story".

"Love is a Poison", "I Love You", "Uninating Melody", "TURN.TURN is played over and over again on six radio stations in Los Angeles, coffee shops, train stations, shops, restaurants... You can hear these songs in any place with radio. People will hum involuntarily walk on the streets. Many people even hold the radio and write down the lyrics inside and learn.

The success of "Hollywood Story" is certain. Others think it is an extremely happy thing, but there are advantages and disadvantages. While the movie is successful, DreamWorks is busy all over the place.

Jassel and Gans were busy directing the operation of the entire theater system, while Gary Grant, Garbo and others went around to travel around and began to meet the audience to promote the film. As for the others, they were so busy that they even counted more time when going to the bathroom.

As the owner of DreamWorks, I am naturally the busiest place among everyone. Not only do I have to take care of a series of things after the release of "Hollywood Story", the DreamWorks branch planned by Bala and Shottal in Cannes has now reached the most critical period. I have to command them in general to carry out various constructions, and also coordinate the transportation alliance of my second brother to transport necessary equipment and materials to them.
To be continued...
