Chapter 789 The five major movies premiere together!(1/2)
The reason why I was surprised was not because canned won the game, but because of this game, why were eight states participating?
You know, according to the original plan, this is impossible.
In the long-distance running plan for canned food, each stop is basically in four or five states, and the number is not large or small. But this time, there are actually eight states participating in the competition, which makes me a little confused.
"Stiller, what's going on? How could eight states compete?" I pulled Stiller over.
In eight states and forty opponents, the pressure on canning is not as high as before? This is definitely a challenge for canning that has just recovered.
"Boss, this matter was decided by Gans and the people in charge of the horse racing. Gans and the others analyzed the next schedule. If we follow the original plan, we still have four stops to compare. In other words, in less than half a month, the canned food will have to run one game every three or four days, which is too intense."
"So Gans simply combined the original two games into one?" I nodded.
"Yes. Gans said this would give the can enough rest time." Stiller smiled and swung.
After saying this, I agree with Gans's method very much.
There will be a game in three or four days, and for canned food, the intensity is too great.
"Can has two games to run. It seems that our movie premiered when it is a final battle. Everyone, Can is running there, we should work hard." I patted Bu Liesong on the shoulder.
A group of people nodded one after another.
"The Pentium Age" is progressing rapidly. Other film companies have completed filming, and the news of premiere has also begun to appear frequently in Los Angeles newspapers.
On December 4, the film "The Lonely Chicken in Troubled Times" produced by MGM Films was announced to be edited and will be released on the 9th.
This news seems to have become the fuse. After the 1929 Christmas movie schedule of Crescent Film Company's "Painted Skin" kicked off, MGM's movie really made Hollywood a boil.
On the same day, Columbia Film Company held a press conference and announced that the editing of "The Last Waltz" produced by George Stevens, directed by George Stevens, was completed and will be submitted for review immediately. The premiere time was also chosen on the night of the 9th.
Universal Studios followed closely behind, Howard Hawks's movie "The Scarface" also made a brilliant debut, passing the review at PG-13 level, and the premiere date was set at 7 p.m. on the Ninth.
In addition, "No War on the West Front" directed by Fox Films, which was completed not long ago, is finally here.
Among these four movies, Zenerman's film received the most attention. The reason why it attracted much attention was first because of MGM's strong investment and huge publicity offensive. Zenerman's own artistic skills are also one of the most important reasons why his film is valued.
With his unremitting efforts, Zenerman has now become the leader of Hollywood's new generation of directors and has also become the recognized successor of Xishi Dimil at MGM Films.
Therefore, his movies have not only attracted the attention of the media, but also received strong optimism from the audience.
The movie "The Lonely Chicken in Troubled Times" has been very mysterious since its launch. It does not accept any interviews, does not allow anyone outside the crew to enter the factory studio, does not allow anyone to modify the script, and does not allow the company to perform special editing... This series of requirements made many people think that Zenerman was making an extremely personal film.
What is even more surprising is that as the boss of MGM Films, Marskolov, who has always been furious and autocratic, all agreed to Zinaman's conditions and fully supported him, which made many filmmakers jealous of Zinaman.
However, Zinerman has so many requirements and has added so many conditions. It is also based on his movies. His movie is said to have conquered a group of MGM bosses including Marskolov, Meyer, Sissie Dimil, and must be of level.
Lewis Myerstone's "No War on the West Front" is much inferior. The promotional efforts of this movie are not done enough and the appeal is very small, but after the premiere, I am sure the result will definitely be different.
As for Columbia Films' "The Last Waltz", when it was filmed, it was rated as "one of the most anticipated movies of 1929."
Director George Stevens and starring Clark Gable, with two news barely destined to be a bombshell.
Clark Gable is now very popular in Hollywood, and the limelight has even surpassed Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart. As for John Wayne and James, they are not his opponents in terms of popularity.
This man flashed like a diamond on the screen, making women across the United States scream at it, so many film critics wrote: "Clark Gable will succeed even if he starred in a very bad movie, because the audience did not go to see the movie, but to watch Gable Linley."
This man, who is nearly thirty years old, turned the movie into his game and the movie screen into his stage.
This "The Last Waltz" is the most important feature of the Columbia Films Christmas film schedule. Not only does it have a huge investment, but the script was written by George Stevens himself.
George Stevens has long claimed that "The Last Waltz" was tailor-made for Clark Gable from the beginning, and any scene, any line, and the plot of the entire movie are set for him alone. In the words of George Stevens, it is: "This movie is Gable's one-man show, his stage."
"The Last Waltz", you can tell the general content by looking at this name. Love, dance, emotional entanglement between men and women... Such content is Clark Gable's best at it. The audience just needs to imagine Gable's dancing and going crazy.
"This movie may create a box office myth!" This is the Hollywood Times' evaluation of "The Last Waltz", which is also a prediction. It expresses everyone's voice.
Clark Gable himself is very modest. When he was interviewed by the media, he smiled and told reporters: "The movie "The Last Waltz" is actually the hard work of everyone in the entire crew. Without them, I am nothing. The movie is a collective product, not a personal performance show. What I want to say is that I may be lucky because I became the person standing at the center of the stage."
Gable's words were then reproduced by countless newspapers and were remembered by many movie fans.
This also changed my impression of him greatly. Before, in my eyes, Gable was more a prodigal son than an excellent actor. But now it seems that after a series of training in Hollywood, he may have realized the truth that a real actor should understand.
Movies are indeed collective products, not toys for one person.
"The Scarface Thieves" produced by Howard Hawks, directed by Howard Hawks, has attracted a lot of attention. The reason why many people look forward to it is not only Howard Hawks' extraordinary achievements in movies, but also my strong praise.
I highly praised this movie in many public occasions more than once. The reason I praise it is not because of the direct relationship between Universal and DreamWorks, but because this movie is indeed a rare masterpiece.
As one of Howard Hawks's representative works throughout his life, "The Scarface Thieves" is definitely qualified to be selected as the best Hollywood film array.
Cuban gangs, drug dealings, conspiracies, intrigues between gangs, twists of human nature under violence and oppression... With such content, a movie is transformed in Howard Hawksdin's magical hands and produces effects that you don't expect.
In addition to my recommendations, John Ford also loves this movie. He has taken advantage of the gap in his work to go to the shooting site of "Scarface Thieves" to discuss with Howard Hawks, and then put forward his own opinions.
As a director who loves westerns all his life, John Ford easily finds the emotional resonance he pursues throughout his life in the movie "Scarface Thieves".
"I want to say that compared to "Scarface Thieves", perhaps the movies I've made before are all trash." John Ford's words made many people who had some doubts about "Scarface Thieves" shut their mouths.
You know, John Ford is definitely a top director in Hollywood now, and his film works are unanimously recognized by Hollywood people. Such a director commented on "The Scarface Thieves" so much that many people have to re-look on Howard Hawks' new film.
Therefore, after the editing was announced, Howard Hawks's film set off a vigorous ticket booking craze.
These movies are the best in Hollywood Christmas movies, and it is natural to attract attention.
However, after editing a movie, everyone's attention was focused on the movie.
It is Griffith's new film "The Pianist at the Sea"!
"The Last Waltz", "The Scarface" and "The Lonely Chicken in Troubled Times" all have very eye-catching labels, but compared with "The Pianist at the Sea", it seems a bit dim.
Directed by Griffith, Andre Corleon himself was the screenwriter, starring Gary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, the first Hollywood photographer, Billy Bizetzer, made a comeback in ten years and took the lead in the filming. The first masterpiece released by DreamWorks Films...
This series of labels has determined from the beginning that this "Pianist at the Sea" will become the original protagonist at the first peak of the Christmas season of Hollywood movies.
From the start of the filming to the shooting, the media has been tracking and reporting on "The Pianist at the Sea".
Many things during the filming of this movie have become the topic of conversation among the people on the streets and alleys after media reports.
For example, Coolidge is extremely demanding on actors. For the sake of truth, Gary Grant was soaked in the cold sea for a whole day and almost caused Gary Grant to suffer from pneumonia.
For example, Billy Bizen's photography was almost tricky. In order to shoot a piano shot, he used 20 cameras at once! At the end of the movie, in order to capture the tragic moment of the giant wheel explosion, the old madman actually tied his waist with a rope and was hung by the plane and flew over in the huge explosion. For this reason, Billy Bizen is still lying in the hospital.
Also, at the end of the movie, the steamer exploded and 190, in order to pursue that spectacular effect, Griffith filled the bed with explosives. The power of these explosives was said to be able to overturn half of Hollywood. During the filming process, because it felt wrong, the crew exploded three ships in succession!
There are so many such filming highlights, which make the public think that if they don’t watch this movie, it will be a lifelong regret.
The filming and editing of "The Pianist at Sea" marks the official launch of DreamWorks' Christmas movie schedule. Among the three films that were being filmed, "King Kong" directed by Dunar has come to an end, and my "Penting Age" was soon completed.
The public opinion discussion brought about by DreamWorks' Christmas trilogy is overwhelming.
"This may be the most shocking Christmas period of the film company since the establishment of DreamWorks. Griffith took the lead. Mr. Corleon took the lead and Dunar ended. If you include Flahady's documentary, Victor Fleming's "Friends", Stenburg's "Prison Break", DreamWorks's gains in the past six months are definitely worth half a Hollywood." - The Los Angeles Times
"It's time for the master to play! David Griffith's "The Pianist on the Sea" will definitely be a peak in his film career. The remaining two movies in DreamWorks, Mr. Colilon's "The Age of Collapse". The camera is aimed at the hearts of all Americans under the economic crisis. Dunar's "King Kong" may create a new movie myth! This makes us shout: The time for the master's performance is up!" - "Los Angeles Tribune".
"The Pianist at Sea" was submitted for review after the editing was completed, and the result was passed at the G-level. After the review, all members of the review committee jointly signed the poster of "The Pianist at Sea" to express their respect for the old director Griffith.
"Boss, this movie makes me feel like I'm back many years ago. I've found the vitality that many years ago." When Griffith said this to me, his old partner Billy Bizets was right next to me.
"I just realized now that the Hollywood in front of me is actually very exciting." This photographer with gray hair and old naughty boy made a face at me and Griffith.
Seeing these two old men laughing in front of me as innocent as children, my heart became unprecedentedly warm.
The immediate premiere of "The Pianist at Sea" has made DreamWorks busy. Because it was the first movie in the Christmas season, everyone attaches great importance to it.
While they were preparing for the premiere of this movie, I was not idle either. What I had to do was not only film "The Collapse Year", but also a collaboration with Jean DuPont Belmondo.
After discussion, the DreamWorks board of directors agreed to the DuPont consortium to acquire stake in Lockettke TV.
When I informed DuPont Belmondo, Old DuPont laughed loudly on the other side of the phone, and his joy was beyond words.
After some communication, I took Coolidge and others to Jean DuPont Belmondo's villa. Natalia and Vapori were also here.
This time, half of it is a matter of official business and half of it is a matter of private affairs. The so-called official affairs are naturally a cooperation between the DuPont Consortium and the Lockett Consortium. The private affairs are to meet Natalia, who has not met for a long time, and Old DuPont.
The villa is still the same villa, which looks extremely spectacular in the sun. Walking into the gate of the villa, I pointed to the surrounding buildings and said to Natalia: "The last time I came here was at night. I thought this place was very gloomy. Now it looks very beautiful."
Natalia hugged Vapori and smiled like a flower: "This is the first time I have come to this villa. I have never said that my father has such a villa in Los Angeles. If I guess correctly, it should be his new land."
"No matter whether he bought the new one or the original ones, he would come to eat and drink when he had time. I heard that the chef in the villa was very good." I looked like a scoundrel, which made Natalia laugh.
"Wapoly, come on, let grandpa hug!" As we walked to an open grass, DuPont Belmondo stood up from the chair.
The old man almost treated Natalia and me as transparent people, and carried Vapori over without saying a word.
"Dad is old. He used to dislike children very much. I remember when I was young, he never hugged our brothers and sisters." Natalia looked at Jean DuPont Belmondo's back and smiled at the corner of her mouth.
"This is called a different generation of kisses. Look, my mother also looks ignorant of my second brother. When I see Victor, I also feel like I see the flesh in my heart?" I grabbed Natalia's hand.
"Andre. I am very happy with your cooperation with dad this time. Really, I was worried that there would be between you and dad..." Natalia looked at me and smiled embarrassedly.
"Will break apart?" I laughed and said, "I'm not full of food, so I'm having a break with people for no reason. Besides, no matter what, he is your father. If you don't look at his face, I have to look at your face, and Vapori's face is not."
"Smooth tongue!" Natalia gave me a sweet look.
Walking to the grass, sitting down next to the table, basking in the bright sunshine, drinking the best red wine, I really fell in love with the old DuPont.
"Mr. DuPont, this is the contract we are going to sign. Look, if there is no problem, you and the boss will sign on behalf of DreamWorks and DuPont Consortium." Yassel placed the written contract on the table.
"No need to see. I believe Andre." Jean DuPont Belmondo held Vapori in one hand, picked up a gold pen in the other and signed his name on the contract.
I also signed the name. Once the two sides exchanged, the cooperation was decided.
"I'm very happy that Andre, DuPont Consortium and Lockettree can cooperate." DuPont picked up the wine glass to me, then nodded to the butler next to me.
