Chapter 482-483 The premiere of "Emperor Julius Caesar" (1)(1/2)

The news that President Lizhi and Vatican Pope Pius XI will attend the "Jay premiere" has put Los Angeles in a madness and made DreamWorks feel extremely confident and glorious. The senior leaders sitting in my office are all so excited that they are too excited.

While a group of people were happy, the phone rings on my desk.

"The news that Andre, US President Coolidge and Vatican Pope Pius XI attended the "Jesus Premiere" was posted by you, a kid!?" As soon as he put the phone next to his ear, Coolidge's roar came from there.

"Yes, it was my instructed to spread it, but this news was only released in the media in Los Angeles. How could you know?" I laughed.

"How could I know!? Bah! Even the Washington radio is clamoring for this news! You kid are so amazing!" Coolidge couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm doing this for your own good, I'm helping you."

"What!? Help me!? It seems that I will help you at the beginning!" Coolidge was probably about to be mad by me.

I smacked my lips and said, "Yes, at first you helped me solve the censorship problem, and now I am helping you solve the problem you promised me to have the Pope attend the premiere."

"What a mess! I'm almost dizzy! You guy is baking me on the fire now!" Coolidge's voice seemed to cry.

"Don't say that, I dare not. I am just a moviemaker, so how dare I put you, Uncle Sam on the fire!" I laughed.

"A movie shooter!? There is no one in history who is as arrogant as you?? You guy, I tell you, I just went to Canada to discuss your issue with him tomorrow." Coolidge sighed heavily.

"You and Pius XI were on the phone!? How about it!? What did he say!?" I suddenly felt energetic when I heard this news.

Coolidge's helpless voice came from the microphone: "What can he say? It's not long after your Los Angeles newspaper was released. The old man received the news, and he was furious. He was not angry when I was on the phone with him. But it seems that he has no other way. After all, the American people are looking forward to him now. If he doesn't attend, his prestige will probably drop sharply. This is not what he wants to see. In addition, I will discuss it with him in person. I guess there is no problem with us attending your premiere," he said.

"That's good. That's good, don't worry, I've prepared the private room for you at the Imperial Hotel." I smiled wickedly.

"Go and go, get your movie done!" Coolidge cursed and hung up the phone.

I put down the phone and was overjoyed.

"Boss, what do you say about Coolidge?" Yassel asked.

"He said he would come with Pius XI to attend the premiere of "The Passion of Jeremy"." My words made the office thunderous.

"Don't be too proud of you guys. I have done the best in all external environments now. Next, it depends on yours. Jassel wants to manage the theater system well. Gans's publicity must be hot. Others must stick to their own positions. In addition, David, when will your "Caesar" be premiered?" I turned to look at Griffith and asked.

Because in name, "Caesar" is a movie belonging to Universal, all preparations for the premiere were carried out by Universal, and DreamWorks only provided some help in private. The premiere was also held in Universal's No. 1 theater, so I was happy to relax.

However, even though I handed over all these things to Lemmel and the others, it doesn't mean I'm completely relieved. As a movie that invests $800, "Caesar" is of great significance to both Universal and DreamWorks. Especially this movie is Griffith's comeback. Whether its success or not will directly determine whether Griffith can re-express charming glory in Hollywood, and whether the original generation of film masters are still alive. So I can't help but worry.

Griffith's eyes were red. It seemed that he must have worked very hard during this period. He was in his fifties and naturally his body was not as good as us, so he looked exhausted.

"Boss, all the work is ready and will premiere tomorrow night." Griffith looked at me and smiled embarrassedly.

"The premiere tomorrow night!? So fast!? Okay, I'll go and support you then!" I laughed.

"David, let's go too!" Stengborg and others patted Griffith on the shoulder.

Starting from that morning, under my leadership, DreamWorks established a editing group for "The Passion of Jeremy". In addition to me, the members of the group, including Stevenberg, Stiller, Munau, Dunar and Griffith, the locals of the DreamWorks director team, were all included in this group by me, except for Flahadi who was filming his documentary.

With these guys participating, the editing of "The Passion of the Lord" is much faster. Moreover, when I was filming this movie, I had already thought about the connection between various shots, so the editing was not very complicated. In this way, if it was fast, the editing of "The Passion of the Lord" could be completed within five days.

From the 10th to the afternoon of the 11th, we stayed in the editing room and did not go out. In a small editing room, the film containing the film of countless people's eager hopes was bit by bit under our hands.

Everyone is very careful when working because they all know the importance of this movie and know that every shot in it is taken with our blood and sweat, so they are careful when editing, for fear of destroying every shot in it.

The speed of six people working together is also amazing. These guys, who picked any of them, are now well-known directors in Hollywood, and are more experienced in editing. The most important thing is that they all understand my film philosophy. Sometimes, they don’t need me to say anything, they know how to edit and how to edit to best show my original thoughts.

In just over a day, we completed more than a quarter of the entire movie editing work.

During this period, earth-shaking changes have also occurred outside the editing room.

First, Bishop Yuteus Clay, the bishop of the American Western Diocese of the Vatican, was interviewed by Los Angeles 1 at strong public request.

Since the news that Coolidge and Pius XI will attend the premiere of "The Passion of Jesus" was exposed by the Citizens, various voices such as excitement, questioning, and accusation have been arguing endlessly. Later, the people asked Yutus Clay, the representative of the pope in the United States, to clarify the matter.

For Yutus Clay, he was unwilling to speak at all, because it was a delicate period. He knew that it was possible that a mistake could ruin his future.

But the voices of the people made him have no other choice.

During the interview, Los Angeles One's hotline phone number

After being beaten up, Los Angeles citizens called the radio station to express their opinions on the Pope's issues of "The Passion of Jesus". Most people welcomed the Pope to Los Angeles, but they said that if the Pope intentionally made things difficult for the movie "The Passion of Jesus", they would never agree.

During the interview, Yutus Clay said helplessly that he knew about the news that the Pope attended the premiere of "The Passion of Jesus" by himself after reading the Citizens. And he immediately contacted the Pope. He learned that the Pope had planned to attend the premiere of the movie, Yutus Clay also said that the Pope came to Canada this time to communicate with the American people face to bring the glory of the Lord to them. The Pope expressed his gratitude to the American people for their enthusiasm.

When answering the question of why the Pope secretly went to Canada without announcing the itinerary, Yutus Clay was a little embarrassed. He finally said that the Pope had his own reasons for doing this, and that this was purely a religious issue and had no relationship with the "The Passion of Jesus", and there was no problem with religious discussions in mainland America.

Many people don’t believe what he said.

It can be said that Yutus Clay tried his best to safeguard the honor and reputation of Pope Pius XI. These statements confirm the correctness of the news from the Citizens and further aroused the enthusiasm of the people.

In addition to leaving this day, Yutus Clay made such a speech, the secretary of the White House office in Washington also formally held a press conference.

At the reception, a White House spokesperson said that Coolidge will attend the premiere of "The Passion of Jesus" with Pope Pius XI, and at the same time, President Coolidge recommends government officials and the people of the United States to have the opportunity to watch the movie in the cinema in the name of Congress.

This press conference at the White House caused a sensation across the United States. For so long, the people finally saw the attitude of the federal government. They saw the government and the American people standing together, and the American government supported the American Hollywood, not the Vatican Church. Therefore, the reputation of the federal government and Coolidge soared, and the domestic atmosphere became more and more lively.

At 6:30 p.m. on the 11th, after dinner, I took Stenburg and the Sty people to drive towards Universal Films No. 1 Theater in downtown Los Angeles. That night was the day when "Caesar" premiered.

Although "The Passion of Jerusalem" is now highly anticipated and has no movie that can compare with it in terms of influence, "Caesar" has received enthusiastic attention from people. From the moment I entered the Los Angeles City, posters of "Caesar" can be seen everywhere on both sides of the streets, and long queues are lined up at the entrances of some cinemas that will be screened this movie.

The shadow of the tree, the name of a person, Griffith's return work, DreamWorks, and the sincere cooperation of Global Company, this "Caesar" is also very glorious.

When we arrived at the Universal Company's No. 1 Cinema, it was just around 7 o'clock, and it was the peak of the guests' arrival.

When my car appeared next to the small square in the cinema, there were bursts of cheers immediately.

The car has the red dragon logo on the roof and the extended sedan with the red dragon's family emblem in front of the car, and has now become a symbol of DreamWorks.

"Corion!"

"Corion!"

The shouts were deafening.

As soon as I got out of the car, the flash lights burst into pieces, and my eyes were almost dazzled.

Before I could gain a foothold, a group of reporters surrounded me and blocked my way.

"Mr. Corleon. When will the Passion of Jesus premiere?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you this, first of all, because it's the company's secret. In addition, the movie is being edited now, and I don't even know when it will premiere?"

"Mr. Corleon, what do you think about the premiere of Pope Pius XI and President Coolidge at the same time? Some people would say that there is a high possibility of bleeding at the premiere. What do you think?"

"I naturally feel extremely glorious about the new premiere of the Pope and President Coolidge. This is not only my personal glory, not only my dreamworks, but also Hollywood, the people of Los Angeles, and the people of the United States. In any case, "The Passion of Jesus" is a sincere work of mine. I worked hard to shoot it at the risk of my life. If everyone can have a heart-to-heart experience after watching this movie, even if this experience is just a little bit, it can make them

I am satisfied with grasping the world more realistically and grasping their lives. I think the speculation that bloodshed will occur at the premiere is definitely irresponsible and deliberate words that people are afraid that the world will be in chaos will throw out. I trust the American people, whether they are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or traditional sects, I trust them. I think we will definitely understand the truth and will definitely see the truth. I believe they will not cause any bloodshed!"

"Mr. Corleon, some people say you will also invite Pope Solomon V of the traditional sect to attend the premiere. If this is true, it will be the first time that the two religious leaders, the Vatican Pope and the traditional sect, met in history. This is of great significance to both Catholicism and to the traditional sect. How do you see this?"

"You asked this question very well. I will invite Pope Solomon V of the traditional sect to attend the premiere of my movie. This is what I have planned for a long time. For thousands of years, the Vatican Church and the traditional sect have been incompatible. In history, the Vatican Church has made traditional sects hate the Vatican Church very much. I asked Pope Solomon V to come and attend the premiere together, with the purpose of letting the traditional sects and the Vatican Church re-understand the truth of the historical matter. Let them understand what they should do in the future."

"Mr. Corleon, some people say that you may become a religious saint, especially a traditional sect, because of this "The Passion of Jerusalem". I wonder what you think about this?"

"Haha, your question is so interesting. I honestly told you that I am very satisfied if I can't go to hell. After all, I was judged as a heretic not long ago. I can't afford to accept the title of saint. I just did what an ordinary filmmaker should do, but just kept my heart in my heart and filmed the movie. If this can be liked and recognized by everyone, it will be my greatest honor. Other things should go with the flow."

...

These reporters surrounded me and asked questions for more than ten minutes, which made me feel overwhelmed. Just as I was sweating, Lemmer came over and greeted me in person.

"You're coming too late." Lemmer whispered as he walked.

"No, I'm here at half past six!" I gave him a blank look.

Joke, Hollywood premiere, usually guests arrive one after 7:30, and I arrived at this place at 7:00. This guy, Lemmer, even thought I was late, and this old man was too unfavorable.

Lemmer Hoho

He whispered: "Marskolov, Adolf Chuck, Fox, Yom Warner and others have arrived."

"Impossible, how could these guys come so early?" I don't believe it.

If Marskolov likes to come early, I still believe that Sam Warner and Fox are famously lazy. They often only arrive when the movie premiere is about to start the movie screening.

"Why am I lying to you? I'm sitting in the conference room behind now, waiting for you." Lemmer smiled.

"Waiting for me in the conference room!? What's wrong!?" I was very surprised, why it sounded like I was going to have a meeting.

"You'll know when you go to the conference room, Carrey Rockefeller is here, Grant and Pang Mao are here." Lemmer's words made me increasingly confused.

Marskolov, Adolf Chuck, Sam Warner and others were in the conference room, and it might be a meeting held by the league. Why is Carrey Rockefeller also there?

Is this too strange?

With a heart full of doubts, I followed Lemmer and walked towards the conference room behind the cinema.

I met many acquaintances along the way, and I couldn't help but greet each other.

I finally arrived at the conference room and the moment I opened the door, I was stunned.

Marskolov, Adolf Chuck, Sam Warner, Carrey Rockefeller, Fox, Todd Browning, John Cohen, Bessie Lof, Paul Strand, Charles Rey... The owners of all the famous Hollywood film companies are in there.

What exactly are you going to do? A big question mark appeared in my heart!

If these people picked a few out and sat here, I wouldn't be surprised at all. It's like you wouldn't be surprised when you occasionally saw a few classmates who hadn't seen for a long time. But if you push open the door that day and suddenly find that all the classmates from the same class appeared in front of you, that feeling would definitely make you feel like you had a nightmare.

I was surprised to see these people, but when these people saw me, they showed a strange expression on their faces that I couldn't even say.

Except for people like Todd Browning, Bescy Loeff, Paul Strand, and others who have a very good relationship with me have a smile on their faces, the expressions of others are a little strange.

Marskolov looked at me, crying and laughing, with a verdant face. Carrey Rockefeller was mournful as if I owed him a lot of money and had not paid it back, while Grant and Pang Mao, who were sitting in the middle, couldn't help laughing.
