Chapter 065: Premiere Feedback
She has always been an uninhibited person.
Like a cat.
Many people can be elegant, naughty, and coquettish. When you are alone, you can live well and be free.
I thought it would go on like this.
Until one day, one night, maybe the moment when someone grabbed her wrist.
Suddenly tamed.
He is strong enough, genius enough, mysterious enough, but he can tolerate her little pampering, indulge her little perverseness, and indulge her little evil.
Simply the perfect lover.
Then he hurried on.
Hmph.
Seeing him run to Arizona, he didn't stop him, still thinking about the original prank, and wondered if Kate, who was repeatedly teased by himself, could resist his temptation.
It's just that.
The side was empty again, and suddenly I didn't feel comfortable.
So in the past few days, he simply lived in his house, walking around the villa quietly every day, like a cat after the owner left home.
Sleep in his bedroom at night.
I don't know what time it was, but I seem to hear the phone ringing.
I hate answering the phone the most, especially this kind of late-night call, hate, hate, hate.
Don't know if there's no one at home?
Pulled a pillow and covered his head, and the message on the other side of the phone was quickly forwarded.
In a daze, a girl's voice rang out.
He began to talk to himself.
Barely pricked up her ears and listened, oh, it's Sandra Bullock.
Call at this time.
Hmph.
I don't know if I should suddenly pick up the microphone to embarrass her.
Think about it or forget it.
Listening to the girl talking on the phone about the full theater of "Lola Run", she was quite proud, but unfortunately she didn't like to go to the theater to watch movies, and she was more used to being in a private screening room.
And then there was the grading of "Lola Run".
Equally angry.
Simon is gone, and she has been in contact with Orion as a representative of the producer for the past few days, so she knows the details.
It's obvious that it's the Seven Great Ones who are doing the bad.
"Lola Run" was originally sure to be okay to get a PG-13, but in the end it was rated R. Moreover, because the release schedule was too tight, there was no time to even appeal, so I could only hurriedly choose to release it in R-rating.
Thinking so, when Sandra hung up the phone, she was also angry and out of breath.
Well.
What a good reason, little boy, you need to comfort me so that I don't have insomnia.
rubbed to the side of the bed and was just about to pick up the phone, only to remember that he recently called and said that the crew was filming at night, and it was until two o'clock every day, and now it will definitely not be a hotel.
I had to give up.
Turning around and burying his face in his pillow, he snorted, and had just washed the futon very diligently recently, but he still felt his breath.
Suddenly I didn't get angry anymore.
Sleep, sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark.
After breakfast, I changed into a burgundy OL professional suit and drove my burgundy Ford to Orion.
Orion Pictures' recent operations have focused on Oliver Stone's Field Platoon.
The politically charged Vietnam War reflection film has already won several major awards at last month's Golden Globes, including Best Picture and Best Director, and has also received multiple nominations at the upcoming Oscars, making it one of the favorites of the awards season.
Moreover, the box office of "Field Platoon" is also very good, from the initial screening to the present, the cumulative box office of this film, which cost only $6 million, has exceeded $40 million.
Although the main focus is on "Field Platoon", Orion Pictures has not relaxed its publicity for "Lola Run", and has also set up a studio.
Janet rushed to the Orion Film headquarters and worked with a few staff members for a morning to roughly sort out the feedback information from all aspects after the release of "Lola Run" yesterday, mainly film reviews from major newspapers and audience research.
As for the box office, this will need to wait until next Monday to get the box office data results for the first three days of the opening weekend.
The initial feedback on the film was better than anyone expected, with almost overwhelming reviews in major newspapers and audience research indicating the film's popularity.
Some theater directors even called, hoping to increase the scale of screenings appropriately next week.
It was so busy until noon that Janet personally faxed the compiled materials to Arizona.
......
During this time, although the crew finished work at two o'clock in the morning, it was basically three or four o'clock when they rested, and some staff members resigned because they couldn't stand staying up late repeatedly.
Yesterday, "Lola Run" was officially released, but Simon couldn't see it.
Although Arizona is also adjacent to California, only the state capital city of Phoenix has a small number of theaters showing "Lola Run".
As his first film after returning to this era, although Simon is full of confidence, he is still a little apprehensive in the end.
I didn't go to bed until nearly three o'clock last night, and I woke up before nine o'clock in the morning.
I wanted to call Los Angeles as soon as possible, but I thought that it was an hour later than here, and I hadn't gone to work yet, so I had to give up. I simply drove to the city of Phoenix, more than 50 kilometers to the north, and hurriedly bought a large pile of newspapers.
When I returned to Coolidge again, it was past eleven o'clock.
The crew members have already gotten up one after another, and they are rushing to the crew's designated restaurant for dinner. Simon parked his car on the side of the road and happened to see Catherine and a few others laughing and coming out of the hotel.
Seeing Simon who had just gotten out of the car, Catherine greeted him with a smile and said, "Simon, how is the release of "Lola Run"? Well, and everyone is going to have lunch, let's talk about it by the way." ”
Simon nodded, took a stack of newspapers in his hand, and greeted Jenny Wright, Adrian Pastar, and others beside Catherine.
Jenny Wright was holding a handsome young man, this is her boyfriend, who happened to come to visit the class in recent days, and to Simon's surprise, the young man's name was Nicolas Cage.
So, Hollywood is really small.
During this time, they have become very familiar with each other, and everyone knows the news that Simon's movie was released yesterday.
Rushing to the restaurant and sitting down, Catherine and the others looked at the newspaper in Simon's hand.
Simon simply distributed the newspaper to everyone.
Although Jenny Wright is innocent, she is actually very wild, and she also likes rock and roll.
The girl got a copy of the Arizona Daily Star, quickly rummaged through it, and immediately shouted with great interest: "Found it, Lola Run." From beginning to end, I don't believe that an 18-year-old boy can make a good movie. Yesterday, however, I entered the theater full of skepticism, only to be shocked by a brilliant visual feast. Great shots, great soundtrack, great editing, and more rarely, great cinematic ideas. "Lola Run" is good enough to go down in the history of cinema, and Simon Westeros will undoubtedly become one of Hollywood's finest filmmakers. Wow, is that an exaggeration, Simon, it seems that I need to go see this movie as soon as possible, and besides, the heroine of your next movie should also consider me. ”
In the dining room, after listening to Jenny Wright's reading, everyone also became interested in the other newspapers that Simon had separated, and grabbed a copy in twos and threes, and looked through it together.
In the end, to everyone's surprise, Simon brought back more than a dozen newspapers, all of which gave positive reviews, except for one questioning whether the movie was actually shot by Simon himself.
Jenny Wright even teased Simon at the end that he must have thrown away all the newspapers with bad reviews on the way.
Since it was a Saturday, everyone quickly agreed to go to Phoenix tonight to watch "Lola Run."
After having a lively time, after lunch, when he saw the official Orion documents faxed from Los Angeles, Simon finally completely relieved himself about the box office prospects of "Lola Run".
