Unbelievable.

It seems that as soon as I woke up, my first movie was about to be released.

I thought it would take at least two or three years for this day.

It's a pity that Mom and Dad can't see it for the first time, and only New York has theaters on the East Coast.

Fortunately, he sent the poster back early, as well as the clip he cut to deliver to the crew of "Back to the Future 2", secretly copied a copy, and seriously told his parents not to leak the tape in the letter, especially to prevent his sister from doing this, Jessie is now the age when she likes to show off, and she is still so restless.

At the end of the afternoon, I left Warner Studios and drove back to West Hollywood.

Keanu was already waiting for him on Santa Monica Boulevard, huhula with a man and a woman, very popular guys. Although he has many years of acting experience, "Lola Run" also happens to be the first theatrical film in which Keanu participated.

Of course, this guy's role is a little too weak.

After getting to know each other, we rushed to a nearby theater that had been inquired about in advance.

I don't know if it's because of Friday, but there are a lot of people gathered in the theater and there is a queue. Looking at the eye-catching poster of "Lola Run" in the theater lobby, I silently prayed that these people would come to see their movies.

With a group of seven people, she naturally didn't need to run all of them to line up, so she volunteered to grab the errand. Mingled in the crowd, listening silently to the names of the people who bought tickets in front of them.

"Field Platoon", well, this knows, is also released by Orion.

"Lola Run", heh, plus one.

"Lola Run", tsk, plus two.

"Leap to the Peak", huh, turned his head and looked at the poster in the hall, oh, Stallone's new film, this is not comparable.

"Lola Run", ding, plus three.

"Black Widow", cut, spider?

Soon she was in second place, listening to the middle-aged man with a boy in front of her: "Miss, may I ask what is the rating of "Lola Run"?"

I was a little stunned.

By the way, why didn't you notice this, and quickly pricked up your ears.

The conductor also saw the boy in front of the window and replied, "Sir, it's an R rating, do you still need it?"

The middle-aged man suddenly hesitated.

Noticing his father's hesitation, the boy was a little dissatisfied and said, "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. ”

The middle-aged man looked at his son, and had to ask the conductor again: "Miss, this movie, do you think, well, is there anything too out of place?"

The ticket seller shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, sir, the movie just came out today, and I haven't seen it either." ”

She stood behind and listened, her head a little confused.

How can it be R-level, even if it can't reach PG-level, PG-13 must be absolutely fine?

Seeing that the father in front of him was still hesitating, I really wanted to remind the other party directly, no problem, I can guarantee it. Don't believe me, look at my face.

In the end, he still didn't take the liberty to speak.

The father and son finally chose Stallone's "Leap to the Peak".

So he stepped forward, but asked, "That, what is the rating of "Leap to the Peak"?"

In order to avoid being too easy to be recognized and embarrassed, she deliberately wore a black-framed glasses today, the kind without lenses, and her hair had already been dyed back.

The conductor glanced at her, and although it felt a little familiar, she didn't think much of it, and replied politely, "Miss, it's PG grade." ”

Sylvester Stallone's movie is PG-rated, that flesh and blood, are you kidding me?

Seeing that she was a little stunned, the conductor said patiently: "Miss, do you want it?"

Okay, okay.

Who made our name short?

Arnold Schwarzenegger's next film is definitely G-rated.

Complaining in her heart, she still nodded, and handed over a stack of change bills in her hand: "Yes, seven, the latest "Lola Run". ”

This time, the conductor was stunned, then smiled and lowered his head to check, but looked up regretfully, and said, "Sorry, miss, there are only 3 tickets left for the 6:20 show." ”

How can three be enough?

She immediately asked, "When is the next one?"

The conductor checked again and said, "8:10." ”

Her eyes widened, "Why does it take so long?"

The conductor immediately replied this time: "Miss, there is only one screening room in our theater showing "Lola Run". ”

She was immediately even more unhappy: "Since the tickets are so good, why don't you add more shows?"

The conductor still smiled politely and said, "Miss, this is not up to me, you can call our manager to report this matter." ”

I will.

I muttered something in my heart and ran away from the team.

Hey, Keanu, you idiot, why are you in such a hurry to buy popcorn, do you want to sit on the road and watch the street scene?

Hearing that the next show would be eight o'clock, a group of young people left again, changed two movie theaters in a row, and finally managed to buy seven tickets.

This is a large screening hall of about 150 people, and as soon as I entered, there was a buzz around me, and there were many people.

The seven of them took the initiative to sit in the last row and waited patiently for a while, and the last seats in the screening room were filled.

Immediately he was happy again.

Still, it doesn't seem surprising to think of the buzz in the media lately.

Who wouldn't want to see what kind of movie an 18-year-old 'madman' has come up with?

Then I thought of him.

It's surprising that he still has such an experience. It's just that I can't see it at all on weekdays, and I look more normal than anyone else.

Think about it.

It's not right, he's not normal.

Normal people, who can shoot a movie like "Lola Run" at such a young age.

And, occasionally, I can really feel the estrangement in his eyes against these people.

"He was so proud that he had lost pride in it, like a god from another world who suddenly came to conquer the world. ”

Inexplicably, this sentence from his girlfriend Jenny in the Los Angeles Times came to mind.

Tut.

How can it be so exaggerated.

Sure enough, people in love look at each other as the best ones in the world.

But.

Ponder it carefully......

Well?

Bah, I don't think about it, I'm not his girlfriend.

I also regret that I couldn't go to Park City together at that time, and I heard that it became so lively because of "Lola Run".

Thinking so, on the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened, giggling and chatting casually with Keanu, as if he didn't care at all.

The lights in the screening room dimmed, and everyone was silent.

As usual, it starts with an in-roll ad.

At the beginning, it was still the same subtitle.,It feels like it can be cut out.,So it's mysterious.。 However, it seems that if you cut it out, you will really feel that something is missing.

And then.

The sound of the pendulum, the second hand, the music, the shouts...... It doesn't give you time to think at all, and it's a quick and tight 80 minutes.

As the credits began to fall slowly, she looked around, and the screening room seemed to be filled with some kind of inexplicable emotion.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I just see?

Ha ha.

Then I started watching the subtitles with relish.

I didn't feel much when the movie was filmed, but when I looked at the subtitles at this time, I realized that he had sat down for so many things.

Until the lights came on, everyone in the hall seemed to be still immersed in some kind of atmosphere.

And then.

The boy sitting on the other side of Keanu suddenly shouted loudly, "It's-so-facking-cool!!"

Then he began to applaud him violently.

Shame on you.

Don't you want to be so exaggerated.

If someone finds out, they will be beaten.

However, the guy's shout seemed to ignite the atmosphere in the screening room.

Everyone gradually applauded.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

After a moment of excitement, everyone began to leave the venue with a buzzing discussion.

Leaving the screening hall with the flow of people, I deliberately stayed in the theater ticket hall for a while, and found that many people who had just come out together walked to the ticket window again, and the ticket window, which was originally a small number, suddenly lined up again.

My heart was immediately satisfied.

Leaving the theater, night has long since fallen, and the streets of Los Angeles are already lit with neon.

Everyone went to dinner together, and they jokingly thanked the guy who shouted just now, but the other party said that he really thought it was very cool, and claimed to take the time to watch it twice.

Well, when you're serious too.

Then I thought about the rating, and when I talked about it, I still felt very unfair.

Everyone has basically been in Hollywood for a longer time and knows more than her, and after probably guessing, she realized that the MPAA, which is responsible for film ratings, is controlled by the seven major film companies, and those people often give unreasonable ratings to films from some independent producers to suppress competitors.

That's certainly the way it is.

I heard that the seven major film companies are very interested in "Lola Run", but he handed over the distribution rights to Orion, and it is impossible to say that people will not suppress you easily.

It's just that.

It's so unfair.

Then I thought about it, the theaters of the three consecutive screenings of "Lola Run" experienced tonight were all full, and it seemed that they were not affected much.

Only then did I relax a little.

I played with everyone until eleven o'clock in the evening, returned to the apartment, washed and brushed, and was going to rest, but suddenly I thought of him again.

I heard that I ran to Arizona.

Alas, it's a pity that I don't know the phone number, otherwise I would have to call him to congratulate him at this time.

And, of course, the MPAA's rating of "Lola Run".

We are the same enemy.

Thinking about it like this, I suddenly couldn't sleep.

So he picked up the phone and nested in the sofa and turned down the sound of the TV. I picked up the microphone, but suddenly I didn't know who to call.

Parents and friends on the East Coast definitely can't, three hours jet lag, it's past two o'clock in the morning over there. Here in Los Angeles, I have made a lot of friends in the past six months, but I haven't been able to make phone calls late at night.

After a moment's hesitation, the ghost magically dialed his number at the villa in the Montana district.

After a beep, no one answered, and then there was the prompt tone of the phone message.

That's for sure.

However, in this case, I started to talk to myself: "Hey Simon, I'm Sandy, and I'm going to watch "Lola Run" with Keanu and them tonight." There were so many of us that we ran to three theaters to find a seat. Also, what's going on with the movie rating, you know? It's an R rating, and I think the PG-13 rating must be fine. ”

After talking for several minutes, he finally remembered the fact that he was not in Los Angeles suddenly, so he said a few words to himself, and then put down the microphone.

Then I regretted it a little.

It's silly.

It's just that after making such a call, the sleepiness that had disappeared suddenly returned.

Whatever.

Go to bed.

Anyway, what does that sentence say?

Well.

Tomorrow is another day.
