Seeing them leave, Jerry solemnly thanked Shirley Lansing.

The reason why these seven giants made time to attend the premiere just now was completely the result of Shirley's personal invitation.

At the moment, the characters who can bring together the heads of the seven major film companies can be counted on one hand in the whole of Hollywood.

Shirley Lansing invited them to attend, in addition to introducing Jerry to them, and wanted to take this opportunity to get Brad Gray, the general manager of Jerry's company, to have an initial contact with major film companies so that they could work in the future.

Just like Shirley once told Jerry, although she is the CEO of Paramount and has a high position, she does not have much authority, in fact, she is still a professional manager, and she only temporarily manages and runs Paramount for Viacom.

In terms of corporate finance, Shirley cannot be transferred at will, and any funds must be carried out in accordance with the financial process, because the group company has an extremely strict financial management system.

However, Paramount's status as CEO provides her with a stage to display her talents and deep and extensive network resources, so she does her best to help Jerry within her authority.

It's a real touch!

Jerry's previous feeling was completely right, Aunt Shirley treated him as her own, and cared for him as much as his biological mother, Lady Sally.

……

Five minutes before the opening, the VIP channel that had just been closed opened again.

Jerry's second and third uncles, Howard and Eward, accompanied by their mother, Bellis Gannett Towne, appeared at the entrance of the passage, which is Jerry's grandmother, and with her was the veteran director Billy Wilder, and the group of four entered the theater through the VIP passage.

When Jerry and his mother Sally saw it, they quickly got up to meet them.

The eight giants and veteran directors sitting in the front row also left their seats, followed by Jerry's mother and son, and stepped forward to greet the two old men.

Before that, they may not know who Jerry Towne is, but they can't ignore the high status of the old Wilder who is over 90 years old like a banner in Hollywood Jewish circles, and they will not forget how prominent and noble Bellis Gannett's identity is.

The Gannett Group is the largest newspaper giant in the United States, on a par with Murdoch's News Corp.

Although the Gannett family's stake has been drastically reduced with the passage of time, more than 60% of the directors on the group's board are still members of the Gannett family and their relatives, and the elder Tang holds about 10% of the group's shares.

As a result, the Gannett Group is the media kingdom of the United States, standing for nearly a hundred years, and Jerry's grandmother Bellis was once called "Princess Gannett" when she was young.

After a few simple pleasantries, Jerry and his mother took the place of the two uncles, took Bellis's arm and sat down in the seat that Jerry had prepared for his mother.

Belice Towne, who is over seventy years old, looks not much older than Lady Sally, she is as beautiful and energetic as ever, she let Jerry sit beside her, and laughed softly: "Many people in the family want to come to see your first movie, I don't allow them to come with me, dozens of people come to join in the fun, how big is the movie theater!"

Jerry smiled and said nothing, and grandma continued: "I told them, 'If you want to watch a movie starring Don Jr., there's no problem, go to the queue to buy a ticket first, if you don't buy a ticket and want to watch it for nothing, just stay at home honestly, and no one wants to take advantage of my little Done', so I only let your two uncles accompany me." I haven't been to Los Angeles for a few years, and the city is changing too fast, and your grandfather is not at ease if you don't let your uncle accompany you. ”

"Grandpa is coming to Los Angeles too?" Jerry was surprised.

"What do you say?" Belice smiled: "Don't you know your grandfather's habits? Wherever I have been for so many years, he will follow him, and he can't get rid of it, and he is still so clingy when he is old, I am embarrassed to think about it." ”

Having said that, there was a warm and happy smile on her face, and a girlish shyness, so much so that Jerry couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You know your grandfather's temper, old ideas and old traditions, in fact, he doesn't want you to be an actor, but he is embarrassed to tell you in person because of his face, but fortunately, you later opened a film company, both an actor and a boss, so he acquiesced to your choice. ”

Seeing that Jerry wanted to ask and was a little hesitant, as she brought him up with her own hands, she immediately understood what he wanted to say, so she took the initiative to explain: "Now he is sitting in the manor hall watching the live broadcast on TV! When I went out, the ABC entertainment channel had already started to broadcast the pictures of the stars walking the red carpet, and your grandfather wanted to save face, and he stalked his neck and said, 'It's the same for watching you at home'."

But he has an important meeting at 3 p.m., and he really can't spare time, otherwise he would definitely watch your first movie with me. ”

Belise knew that Jerry had always respected Old Done, and since he was a child, he loved to show himself in front of the old man, hoping to get his affirmation and praise.

Now that the old man didn't come, Bellisa felt that Jerry would be very disappointed, so she comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, grandma supports you, no matter what you want to do, grandma will always be on your side, even if your grandpa is against it, it's useless."

However, since you choose to be an actor, you have to perform the play well, whether you make money or not is secondary, the key is that you work hard and work hard, and that's enough.

Of course, movies can make money better, saving others from gossiping, after all, the family rules are there.

Your grandfather and I can give you some pocket money in private, but we can't give you too much help, otherwise there will be conflicts within the family, and there will be no shortage of gossip behind your back. ”

Jerry nodded lightly: "I understand, thank you grandma, I won't let you down, not before, and even more impossible in the future." You see, this movie will definitely make money, at least it can help me earn more than double the investment income, which is not lower than the profit of investing in industry. ”

"Oh?" Belice was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "That's good, grandma expects you to succeed, and so does your grandfather, you know that the person he likes and values the most has always been you." ”

Jerry smiled silently, confident and reserved, giving Belice a sense of contradiction that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

is familiar because her husband Tangen Sr. is a very confident man, and Jerry has followed him since he was a child, and he will naturally inherit his self-confidence.

The strangeness comes from Jerry's age.

In Belis's impression, Jerry is hardworking, studious, and has always been a good child, but he is a little lacking in assertiveness, and he doesn't make his own decisions about many things, and blindly obeys the arrangements of his grandparents.

But Jerry's performance in the past year is completely different from before, he has a very correct idea, he is very assertive, and he doesn't need to ask his grandparents for advice at all, and he will do it when he makes up his mind.

Because of this, although Old Don didn't like Jerry as an actor, he couldn't help but be relieved to see that he had finally learned to make decisions on his own, so he let him do it, and even provided him with some help in private to help him build his self-confidence, let him adapt to society as soon as possible, and master the ability to survive independently.

This is something that Belliss and the old Donnes have long discussed.

However, Belliss now suddenly feels that Jerry has really grown up, and he has a calm temperament that is not inferior to his second and third uncles, with the vigor and hard work of a young man, and the rationality and wisdom of a mature man, giving her a feeling of both contradiction and steadfastness.

"Maybe he can really make a career in the entertainment industry. Belice said to herself.

…………

Just as Jerry and Grandma Bellisy were whispering, the opening show before the premiere had already begun.

The show was hosted by Brad Gray, and after a five-minute thank-you speech, the show officially began.

Towne Pictures and Paramount have invited five popular singers to perform on stage, and the songs are tracks from the soundtrack that was released at the same time as the film.

The half-hour opening performance ended, and the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, and as the lights on the stage dimmed, the band and light props were quietly removed.

The huge screen suddenly flashed a bright light, the light became brighter and brighter, and white overlapping snowy mountains appeared on the screen, and the opening logo of the distributor Paramount kicked off the premiere.

Paramount's logo flashed, only to see the color on the screen suddenly bright and dazzling, a magnificent and majestic palace appeared in the golden light, in front of the palace is a three-sided palace gate, the palace gate on the left and right sides quickly shrunk, revealing the vermilion palace gate in the middle, on which there are two symmetrical magnificent patterns, like a dragon and a phoenix circling around, turning into a huge red seal.

The seal fell, and four bright yellow Chinese characters were imprinted, and the picture flickered, and the Chinese characters distorted into a line of English: "Produced by Tang En Pictures".

This is the opening credits of Donn Films.

It's a long time, but it's actually a short time, the picture flashes by, and the whole opening time is nine seconds.

More than 500 people watched the opening of the film, but there were very few people who really knew the two regimental cases of a dragon and a phoenix on the vermilion gate, because they were two small seal characters "Tang En", and the bright yellow text on the seal was also a small seal "Tang En Pictures", and the last English was the logo of the production company.

This title was created by Donn's special effects studio and provided by Jerry.

On the screen, as the logo of the production of Tang En Pictures flashed away, the vermilion palace gate suddenly opened, and the color changed suddenly, and a blue planet with yellow and green interlacing and divided into seven landmasses by the clear blue sea appeared on the screen.

"Wow, this is Earth?"

"It's so beautiful!"

"I don't think I've seen it before, it's such a beautiful planet!"

"It turns out that the earth is like this, and I like it!"

“……”

A green blue planet flashed in the vast starry sky, the picture was clear, very textured, and the visual impact was strong, and the audience suddenly exclaimed, sincerely shocked, such a vast and clear microcosm of the earth, presented on the screen for the first time.
