Chapter 40: A Great Premiere

The sky is full of stars outside, and the sky is like a plain long skirt, decorated with dazzling diamonds. The evening breeze blows gently, and the Burbank town in front of you is quiet and quiet, and you can vaguely hear people's words, like a quiet sea.

"Why did you come out?" Lenny walked over from behind me and stood with me.

"I'm not afraid of you making fun of you. I'm so nervous. I'm afraid I'll get a heart attack when I stay inside." I shrugged.

Rainy did not recover me immediately, but looked at the sky and sighed softly: "So the sky in Burbank is so beautiful!"

I burst into laughter: "Aren't Burbank and Hollywood the same sky?"

Lenny looked at me and shook her head and said, "I don't think so. In Hollywood, on the balcony of my home, the brightest sky will become darker. The only thing that everyone around me wants to do is to make money and dig out their minds. The more the better. Who will pay attention to whether the sky is blue or whether the stars are bright or not? Who knows how to live like them?" Lenny pointed to the old people walking in the town, and the family playing in their own yard.

"After you say that, I'm not a good person anymore. I'm the same as them, and I have money in my eyes." I laughed at myself.

"You're not!" Lenny looked at me firmly and stared into my eyes and said, "You're not, you're not, you're not just making movies, otherwise why would you make the people in the cinema cry? Why would you give an old man who doesn't even move? Why do people in Harvey Street feel so heart-warming about you?"

"How do you know these things?"

"Some of it was what I heard from my father, some were what Heidi told me." Lenny lowered his head, fiddled with his hair with both hands, and said softly to me: "I really envy Dietry in the movie. In fact, if I can, I think of your company working, even if it's an ordinary drama."

I opened my arms and made a welcome statement: "Welcome, our DreamWorks is short of people now, as long as your father agrees."

"I don't watch a movie well, the two of them are talking about love here!" When Lenny and I looked at each other, Heidi walked out of it, and his big suspicious eyes swept over us with red and swollen eyes swept over us, and shouted to me: "Mr. Corleon, Lenny is a little girl, don't attack her, Lenny, go, hurry up, go in, no, you'll be in danger soon, go, go, hurry up."

Heidi said nothing, pulled Lenny to open the cinema door and crawled in, leaving me alone standing outside.

About ten minutes later, Fatty and Gans also came out.

"Boss, I'm almost out of reach. The atmosphere inside is too tense, I can't stay there!" The fat man covered his chest and breathed in the fresh air outside.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Gans smacked his lips and said, "Boss, there is no sound of coughing inside. Everyone stared at the screen with wide eyes. It seems that the air was filled with lead. I was so nervous that I was almost wet my pants."

"Do you see they like this movie?" I asked tentatively. To be honest, I want to know the answer now. Standing outside to guess is simply a torment.

"I don't know either. Everyone just clenched their hands and had their faces tense, and they couldn't tell." The fat man spread his hands.

I looked at Gans again, and Gans said, "I guess it's about the same. Judging from what they were moved, I think this is the most proud thing we have done in so many years!"

"Don't worry! Wait, there's still half an hour." I sat on the steps and took out a cigarette from my pocket, but found that I couldn't light the fire: my hands were shaking too much.

There was no movement in the cinema, no movement at all. As time went by, my heart became heavier and heavier. Gans and the fat man kept comforting me, saying that as long as no one left the stage halfway, it meant that the movie was still acceptable.

An hour has passed.

I looked at the watch, and there were three minutes left, and in three minutes, the movie ended.

But the cinema is still like a midnight cemetery, silent.

"Boss, the movie is over!" The fat man looked at the watch and shouted to me.

"I can't stand it anymore! Are these people asleep? Why are there no sound at all? "Gans was completely crazy.

Five minutes. In the five minutes after the movie ended, no one came out of it. I seemed to be standing outside a valley, and I couldn't even hear the sound of the camera rotating inside.

"Gans, Berg, it seems we have failed!" I was covered in sweat and sat on the ground as if I had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

There was no cheers, no excitement for the audience. My first movie failed!

After more than a month of hard work, everyone’s dreams were shattered!?

"Boss, no! Listen, listen inside!" Gans helped me up and pushed me next to the door with the fat man.

Bang!

Slap!

Slap sex!

Sexy sex!

My anticipational applause rang out!

It rang out in the silence five minutes after the end of the movie!

No! After an hour and eight minutes of silence, it rang!

"Boss! We succeeded! We succeeded!" Gans and Berg cheered, pushed open the cinema door left and right, pushing me into the middle.

A beam of light was projected onto me from the cinema, and everyone inside stood up together. Tears were hanging on their faces, clapping their palms hard, whistling, and cheering loudly one after another, for a long time.

I was dizzy! The dazzling light made me dizzy! And the applause, the surging applause, was overwhelming and almost knocked me down.

I couldn't see the steps under my feet, and everything around me gradually blurred in my sight.

All the hard work, the ridicule and disdain that I had received, disappeared in my tears.

From the gate to the stairs under the screen, there are a total of hundreds of steps, but I feel that it is extremely long and it looks like a lifetime.

I saw Carl Lemmer, who had been indifferent to me before, and smiled at me while wiping tears. I saw Warner Brothers huddled in front of my father and called me brother. I saw Fox standing on the chair and applauding me. John Cohen and Old Ma rushed to the stage with flower baskets and shouting. Grant had already reached a state of madness. He rushed to me, hugged me tightly, and strangled me all over.

All the 200 people in this movie went crazy, so it was impossible for Lao Ma to walk to the ready microphone to signal that it was impossible for everyone to be quiet.

I stood on the stage, next to Lao Ma, and only waited for them to calm down before talking.

For one minute, two minutes, the applause lasted for a quarter of an hour before slowly stopping.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, I'm sure to say that I have seen the movie that touched me the most in my life! An unparalleled wonderful movie! I think that in more than half an hour, the audience who saw this movie in 200 other theaters in Los Angeles will also have such sighs! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome tonight's hero, our Mr. Andre Corleon!" Lao Ma's face turned red with excitement and pulled me to the microphone.
Chapter completed!
