(I'm going to Sanjiang, everyone, please give me more tickets!)

After hearing what I said, Lao Ma curled his lips and expressed his objection.

"Why is it okay?! I just want to tell you that even big companies like Mutual Aid Company are like this, and life in small companies is even more difficult. Do you understand?"

"I understand, but our DreamWorks and Mutual Aids Company are different. Hollywood is like a forest. Your big company is a lion and tiger fighting each other, and there will naturally be casualties. But companies like our DreamWorks are at best an ant. You beat you, you eat ant and eat wild boars, and you don't care about our ant!" I grinned at the old horse.

Lao Ma was so funny by my metaphor that he smiled. This guy was born to like lions (or there would be a roaring lion at the beginning of every movie produced by MGM). I used a simple metaphor to reveal the complex situation in Hollywood nowadays and deeply agree.

"Andre, I like this metaphor, but there is one thing you are wrong."

“Where’s wrong?”

"It's true that we are lions and tigers, but your DreamWorks are definitely not an ant. If it's really an ant, it's an ant that can only bite the elephant to death." Lao Ma stood up and walked out the door with a smile, holding his coat.

"Sit for a while?"

"No! Go home! Lenny is still waiting for me at home."

"Don't forget to go to DreamWorks Cinema on the 22nd to attend the premiere." I reminded him.

Lao Ma waved his hand: "I know! I can't forget it! I really don't know if you have so many colorful kids, what kind of premiere you have!"

On June 22, the weather was beautiful, the sun shining, and the cloudless. At night, the breeze suddenly blew, making the whole Burbank cool and comfortable. Pedestrians passing by accidentally found that this originally empty town suddenly became lively, and cars gathered here from all directions, many of which were luxury cars. The streets were crowded, and the door of DreamWorks Movie was even more noisy.

Gans and Berg and I stood on the steps outside the cinema to welcome the invited guests, while James and dad took people to work inside.

A total of 200 people were arranged to attend the premiere, a large part of which were from the film industry, while the rest were residents of Burbank Town and enthusiastic audiences who rushed over from all over the country.

The first one to visit was Carl Lemmer. The reason why the boss of Universal Film Company was able to attend my premiere was entirely due to the baby daughter Heidi next to him. If it weren't for her, with a young director like me, he wouldn't have been to such a dilapidated cinema.

"Hello, Mr. Lemmer, welcome you." I smiled and reached out. Lemmer just smiled politely, then shook hands and entered the cinema. Heidi next to me made faces at me.

When Sam Warner and Jack Warner arrived, my father came out from inside to greet him. After all, he was his old boss. Jack and I met him once, but I never knew Sam who held the power of Warner.

"Hal, I didn't expect you to have a promising son. It's not bad. When the movie is over, I'll ask him to report to our Warner. I told Sam that he will definitely reuse this kid." Jack patted his father on the shoulder.

The father smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but Andrei now opens a company and he is independent now. I am afraid that I, a father, can't control him."

"Mr. Warner, welcome." I seized the opportunity to go forward and say hello.

Sam glanced at me and entered the venue without paying attention. In his eyes, I was just a yellow-haired child and he had no interest in nagging me.

"Boss, John Cohen of Columbia!" The fat man pointed to an old man who had just come out of the car.

I don't know John Cohen, but I've seen Mit Cohen next to him more than once. If the old man can come, it's probably because his son is making trouble. Where there is Heidi, there is Mit. If Mit wants to come, he will naturally wrap his father around.

Lao Ma and Fox basically appeared at the same time, and the two looked extremely friendly, while Lenny followed them gently, making the men around him look almost falling to the ground.

"Andre, how are you doing?" Lao Ma asked me while shook hands with me.

"Everything is ready, just wait for you big bosses." I asked Gans to bring them into the field.

"After finishing the work, I'll have a lot of rest. Look at your eyes dark." Leni murmured quietly, followed Lao Ma and blinked at me.

The fat man looked at me and stabbed me in the back and said, "Boss, you are so happy! Why did Miss Lenny like you?"

I kicked it over and the fat man screamed repeatedly: "Fatty, what do you mean is that I am that toad?!"

"No, no, boss, you are the towering Mount Kilimanjaro! The vast western plain!" The fat man begged for mercy.

This night, the major Hollywood giants, except Adolf Chuck, Chaplin and Van Punk of United States, were all present. When the onlookers saw these big names whom they could not see at all, they discussed whether I had any friendship with these people, otherwise how could I invite them. Their arrival made me soar in the reputation of DreamWorks.

"Son, Dad, I've been working on the screening for so many years, and I've only seen Jack Warner. I didn't expect that after fiddling around for a month, I've invited all these men to my house. Dad, I'm pretty naked, and I can walk in Burbank in the future." Dad stood beside me and sighed.

In addition to these movie giants, I have also invited several owners of some small companies, such as Tom Baldwin of Issane, Sidney Alcott of Callum Film Company, Channy Barra of Lightning Company and others. They can come, basically the credit of Grant, the honorary mayor of Hollywood.

Among all, Grant was the last one. The old boy was drunk. He knew that he had just come from a banquet. With a little drunkenness, he walked into the cinema with me on my shoulder.

As we entered, there was a warm applause inside, and Grant pulled me up the steps under the screen and waved to the crowd.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" Grant smiled and shouted to the people in the audience: "Tonight is the premiere of Mr. Andre Corleon's first movie "Lust and Caution". I'm very happy that you can attend, and in fact, I'm very happy."

Hahaha. Everyone laughed when they looked at Grant's drunken look.

"Tonight, I attended a dinner at the city government. On the way here, I suddenly felt old when I looked at the movie poster!" Grant raised a poster for a chapter of "Lust and Caution": "Why do I think this way? It's all thanks to the young man around me! For more than a month, what this young man did, his film philosophy, and his shooting techniques have opened my eyes. As for whether you can open your eyes, you will know after the movie is screened."

Hahahaha, there was another burst of laughter.

"Today is the premiere of this movie, and it can be regarded as a gathering for us filmmakers. For many years, it has not been a long time since we met together like tonight." Grant's face was vicissitudes, and his tone began to become heavy: "The people here, Carl Lemmer, when Hollywood was just established, there were only a few thousand dollars in his pocket. Warner Brothers were also very poor. As for Mr. Marskolov, he was still in debt a few years ago, but today, they are all characters who stomp their feet and have to shake three times when Hollywood is shaking. Times are progressing, movies are developing, who has the credit? The credit of young people! They have forced us old men to run with their belts. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that after this party tonight and watching the movie, everyone will remember young people like Mr. Corleone, remember them, and support them more! Thank you!"

Papa! The warm applause sounded again.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being a person who has gone through the storm, and he speaks without any loss.

After Grant, Malskolov spoke on behalf of the movie giants present, which was nothing more than just appreciation for me and expectations for this movie. After he finished, I did not speak, but asked Berg to start playing the movie.
Chapter completed!
