Chapter 606 Make Stiller smile brightly Chapter 607 Crazy premiere?(2/3)
...
Everyone shouted in unison, crying as they shouted.
In the next few days, DreamWorks became more busy. Everyone worked according to the tasks assigned in advance. The laughter that they often heard in DreamWorks was gone. Some of them were just resolute faces and hurried backs!
Under my convening, Griffith, Dunar, Munau, Flahady, William Wheeler and others organized an editing team to start uniformly editing the pornographic film "Dancing with the Wolf".
The original idea of this movie was two hours, but the pornographic film had nearly 100 hours, with a 1:50 film ratio, which means we have a huge workload.
But no one complained about suffering, and no one complained about fatigue. We locked ourselves in a small editing room, eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping almost all of us.
524. After more than a week of editing, "Dancing with Wolves" was finally edited.
When everyone pushed open the door of the editing room, everyone's eyes were crying by the light outside. At that time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The film was immediately sent to Factory No. 3 for review on the 26th.
Regarding this movie, the Power Generation Executive Bureau has no opinion, and the unanimous vote is G-level
Two heavyweight movies were submitted for review together with "Dancing with Wolves", one of which is Keaton's "Small Biography"
"Ship", this movie is Keaton's hard work. It was filmed for eight months and passed the G-level.
Another movie that was submitted for review was Alfred Hitchcock's new work "The Watery Poplar Flower".
The movie Hitchcock is later than my "Dance with Wolves", but the shooting speed is very fast. It seems that I try my best to collide with me.
I don’t have much impression of this fat man’s movie. This movie should be very different from his movie “Thirty-Nine Steps”.
The reason why Hitchcock shot and speeded up the editing was not only the reason why he collided with me, but also related to Chaplin's "Circus".
At Leidianhua Film Company, he was the veritable number one director, especially after winning the 1927 Harvey Award for Best Director Yin Yu Award, and even more::. Unexpectedly, the dying Chaplin, who had already fallen and was dying, would make a comeback. Chaplin's great success made him feel that his position as the first director was threatened by an unprecedented threat. If these threats were eliminated, the most fundamental way would be to speak with the movie. If Hitchcock could shoot a movie that had a greater impact than "Circus", then no matter how Chaplin made a comeback, he would never get up in front of him.
This reason made Hitchcock look extremely impatient and confident about his operation of this movie.
This movie was passed by the R-level at the Power Generation Executive Bureau. It is said that Hitchcock got angry on the spot as soon as the result came out. He was not satisfied with the result of the Power Generation Executive Bureau and proposed to re-level it. As a result, the Power Generation Executive Bureau did not look up to him because he was the winner of the Best Director Silver Feather Award, and did not agree to his request at all. He still maintained the original R-level rating, which made Hitchcock furious, but there was no way.
However, Hitchcock also made a big fuss. After he went there, he wrote an article that bombarded the Power Generation Executive Bureau, saying that the Power Generation Executive Bureau was too authoritarian and too dictatorial, which completely hindered the development of Hollywood and deprived the director of his creative freedom. Such words were sprinkled with thousands of words. He thought that this article might attract a lot of support, but the result was that not only did it have few responders, but it also attracted a lot of curses.
Since Yutus Clay left the Power Generation Executive Board and replaced it, the work of the Power Generation Executive Board is obvious to all. It not only did not hinder the development of Hollywood, but also effectively ensured the health of Hollywood movies. It has produced a good reputation among Hollywood filmmakers and the public. This article of Hitchcock has attracted a lot of scolding. People accused Hitchcock of being arguing about his nonsense and saying that it was already polite to evaluate the R-level movie in his place. Many people asked Hitchcock to publicly apologize to the Power Generation Executive Board and make Hitchcock look dirty.
As a company, Chaplin also expressed dissatisfaction with Hitchcock's approach. In an interview, Chaplin criticized Hitchcock, believing that he was a mess and embarrassing Lei Dianhua, which caused Hitchcock and Chaplin to scold him. This internal strife between Lei Dianhua made many people see that there seemed to be some irreconcilable contradiction between the two senior executives of this company.
But these things are completely something that can be laughed out for us DreamWorks.
That morning, I was preparing for the release of "Dancing with Wolves" in my office. Suddenly I felt dark at the door. I looked up and stood alone in front of me.
When I saw this person, I immediately stood up in surprise.
"Stiller?! You are not in the hospital and stay well, why are you running back?!" I shouted at the person in front of me.
Stiller in front of him was dressed in a neat and clean suit, and had just shaved his hair. His hair was combed in a tiny way, completely different from the patient with lung cancer lying on the hospital bed.
But there was no smile on his face, but only solemnity and indifference.
"Boss, I only have that little time left. Did I waste it in the hospital?" Stiller smiled mockingly, then sat on the sofa.
After hearing what he said, I was stunned immediately.
Then I saw Woolf standing outside the door. She looked at me, her eyes filled with tears, and she whispered: "Mr. Corleon, he knows everything."
"Stiller, this..." I don't know what to say to Stiller.
Comfort? Or encourage? Or accompany him to cry sadly?
But all of these seem inappropriate.
Although I am extremely familiar with Stiller's personality, at this time, I have become a wooden man.
"Boss, this one is not like you at all." Stiller smiled and walked to my desk, picked up a cigarette from the desk and lit it. After taking a sip, he started coughing violently.
I went up and took off his cigarette, knocked it out and threw it into the trash can, and then said, "You bastard, your lungs are like that, and you still smoke?!"
Stiller shrugged, tears gushing in his eyes.
This news was really hard for him to accept.
"Stiller, although you are my subordinates in name, we are brothers, brothers who are in the same boat through thick and thin. There is a saying that I have to explain it to you. Since you know everything, you have to consider how to make the rest of your life wonderful, not depression, but more vigorous. Do you know what I mean?" I looked at Stiller, my voice trembled.
Stiller smiled and said, "Boss, so I ran out of the hospital and went to the company to find work. I belong to DreamWorks, and DreamWorks is my entire life."
I nodded: "Okay, then I will give you two tasks. First, prepare to organize the wedding with Woolf, and second, prepare to film "Step from St. Anthony."
Before I could finish my sentence, Woolf started crying.
"Mr. Corleon, Stiller is unwilling to marry me!" Woolf looked at me helplessly.
"Stiller, what's going on?!" I looked at Stiller with a hunched face.
Stiller spread his hands and said, "Boss, I'm like this, how can I marry her?"
"Are you worried that Woolf will become a widow after you get married?!" I gritted my teeth.
Stiller lowered his head and said no, indicating that he was defaulting.
My eyes became moist.
At this time, a couple still consider each other. Stenberg should be lucky and happy.
"Stenborg, I'll ask you something today, do you love Woolf?! Love, prepare for the wedding soon. If you don't love me, I'll find another man for Woolf tomorrow. Just cry, you bastard! Answer the question quickly!" I yelled.
Stiller raised his head with difficulty, tears were already flowing: "Boss, I. I, I love."
"If you love, prepare for the wedding! Gans, Gans!" I shouted outside.
"Here you. Come!" Gans ran into the office.
"I will prepare for a group wedding for you 500,000 yuan, and tell the people of the company that they want to get married. This time, everyone will get married soon!" I waved at Gans.
Gans' mouth opened into a 0-type: "Boss. I guess there will be many."
"How many are counted, everyone will have fun together!" I pointed at my nose again: "I'll be the leader, you guys will follow!"
"Okay! Stiller, you guys have taken a big advantage." Gans smiled and asked me, "Boss, when will this group wedding be held? You have to give me a sure letter, otherwise I can't tell anyone."
This question has stopped me.
"When will it be held? Then wait for Stiller to finish filming "St. Anthony's Temptation." I patted Stiller's shoulder.
Stiller finally laughed happily.
After the last layer of window paper was pierced, the people in DreamWorks were still the same as before and did not treat him specifically because he had lung cancer. Griffiths and the others were still making jokes with Stiller. I also cursed as usual.
Although nothing has changed on the surface, everyone's heart is aching, especially when they see Stiller's smiling face.
And Stiller, although he tried his best to work and live as usual, anyone could see the trace of confusion and helplessness in his heart.
This middle-aged man, known as the backbone of the DreamWorks school, and one of Andre Corleon's directed confidants, was a middle-aged man in the Hollywood. This Hollywood man was extremely respectful to director. At this time, he became a faint pain in the DreamWorks.
But Stiller was not depressed at all. He worked harder than before and devoted himself to his work diligently.
Under my special care, Stiller began to build the crew of "Step Anthony's Temptation". This movie is different from all the movies in Stiller, and is different from all previous movies in DreamWorks. It is a pure art movie, regardless of box office or how to please the audience. Instead, it fully expresses the director's personal inner experience, a person's experience of the world and life in his life, and because life is approaching the end. That kind of religious fanaticism determines that this movie is undoubtedly the greatest essence of Stiller's life.
Humphrey Bogart was selected as the male lead, Mubini, Jacques and Botton and other DreamWorks actors were selected, and Fatty became the photographer of this film. All the company's resources and personnel ranked this film first.
At the same time, Stiller also began to select other actors in the movie and choose the outdoor scene. Maybe he knew that this would be his last movie, so he was extremely strict and serious in every link.
Looking at his busy figure and listening to his cough, people in DreamWorks feel a little sad.
It’s sad, but everyone knows that the more this happens, the more you have to struggle. This is the style of DreamWorks people.
During the days when "Dancing with Wolves" were approved, I and Griffith and others were also busy with the premiere. Because the premiere was not held in Los Angeles, but in Indianapolis, it became very troublesome.
All famous filmmakers in Hollywood were sent by us. In order to manage them uniformly, we must make unified arrangements for these people.
Major film companies, five major associations, leaders of various social organizations, celebrities, politicians, etc., and so on, there were 600 people. In order to be able to safely send these people to Indianapolis, Los Angeles Mayor Pang Mao specially arranged a long luxury train for us to use.
Griffith and Gans shipped the required equipment to Indianapolis in advance.
528, US President Coolidge announced that he would go to Indianapolis in person to attend the premiere of "Dancing with Wolves" and followed him to the place where he was also a number of federal government officials. Republican presidential candidate Hoover also announced that he would go. Shortly after his statement, Democratic presidential candidate Alfred Smith also announced that he would go to Indianapolis.
The actions of the three of them greatly shocked the United States. DreamWorks was located in the Indianapolis office and received snowflake applications. Celebrities in the United States were proud to be invited to attend the premiere, and many ordinary people flocked to Indianapolis.
On the 29th, Indiana Governor Richard Daniel and Indianapolis City Hern announced the removal of police officers to maintain social order and security. The Indiana government will do its best to support the premiere of "Dancing with Wolves".
"Boss, I'm going to be so busy! I'm going crazy!" When I received the call from Stenborough, I was checking the list of personnel. The roar of his almost collapse made many people in the office laugh.
"So what's wrong?" I said impatiently.
"What else can you do? Boss, you will know in a few days. Now Indianapolis is a sea of people, with people everywhere. I won't say anything about the people with great prestige. The people in the entire Indiana state are going to use it. Moreover, people are still coming from all over the United States. Boss, if this continues, our equipment will not be available, and Lester said. There are many people and many troubles. If this continues, some unexpected events may happen, and our efforts will be in vain."
I agree with his words.
The premiere of this movie can definitely be called a crazy premiere.
"You discuss this with Rest. I mean, in the safest case, to satisfy the audience's wishes as much as possible." I knocked on the table.
"I'll communicate with Richard Daniel when I receive it." Stenborough sighed and felt so embarrassed.
No. 30. Indiana State
De Daniel began to issue a statement on restricting entry. Indiana police moved and tried to limit the influx of people. At the same time, states increased their efforts to invest in theaters, and the impact of the crowds finally gradually subsided.
It was also that night, at Los Angeles Railway Station, a group of bright and beautiful people stood on the platform and prepared to board the bus and set off.
"Andre, you're so much trouble. You actually put the premiere in Indianapolis. The place is far away and desolate. At first, I was worried about you, but now it seems that I'm asking you to bet right." Marskolov held a cigar and hugged me and choked me and coughed repeatedly.
"Andre's move is very clever. On the one hand, he can promote "Dancing with Wolves" to the greatest extent, and on the other hand, he can also show the lives of Indians to the whole United States. Let Americans and Indians hand over the building face to face to increase their understanding and reduce misunderstandings. In this way, the guys Alfred Smith will be in trouble." Adolf Chuck touched his naked bald head and smiled very poorly.
