As the film deepens, the interludes of the film continue to increase, and I have to say that Lucas is an underrated commercial film director, and later generations know him because of "Star Wars" and "Industrial Light & Magic", but they don't know that his initial success was such a small and fresh film that depicts the spirit and life of young Americans in 1962.

Walter knew the production process, and he knew that Lucas had originally chosen 75 pieces of music as an interlude in the film, which was gradually reduced to 45, and that he had to pay $80,000 in copyright fees for the film's production costs.

is really a genius guy, although Walter is not interested in movies, but I have to admit that Lucas used this movie to express the thoughts and feelings of young Americans who lived a prosperous life on the eve of the Vietnam War.

At the end of the movie, the screen will explain the future of several male protagonists, especially Terry, who has an excellent large-scale boat scene with Basinger, who disappeared in December 1965 after responding to the government's call to enlist in the Vietnam War, and I don't know how many people were resonated with this character because someone in his family participated in the Vietnam War.

In the ending song of the movie, George Carlin used his excellent singing skills to cover "Blowing in the Wind", which has recently become popular all over the United States, finally, the movie is over, and the lights in the screening hall are turned on, but the whole theater is very quiet, quiet, and there is not even a trace of discussion.

"What's going on? There's no applause at all, no one even speaks?" Basinger glanced behind him worriedly, then quickly turned around and talked to Walter in a slight whisper, after all, if a movie is over, the audience has no reaction at all, it is really disturbing, this may mean a box office fiasco, for Basinger, who is determined to become famous, this is absolutely unacceptable.

"I don't know, let's wait and see. Walter also shook his head and replied, to be honest, he was also very nervous at the moment, if the memory is not wrong, Lucas's movie should be a big hit, not to mention his own classic hype marketing method, if this is not successful, unless the world he came to has deviated from the beginning, it will not be good.

Silence, there are many explanations, it may be incomprehensible and feel bad, or it may be after silent thinking, waiting to erupt......

Time seemed like a year, Walter could hear his own heartbeat, and finally with a crisp applause behind him, followed by a thunderous collective applause, and the applause was extremely enthusiastic, which can be described as endless.

The entire screening hall of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood seemed to be about to collapse, and applause continued to echo, and at the same time, the voices of countless men and women discussing were heard, which lasted for several minutes.

"Walter, what does this mean?" Bessinger was dumbfounded, and she finally asked in a muttered voice.

"Do you still need to ask? "American Painting" is definitely going to be a big hit, congratulations, Kim, you're going to be a big star that everyone knows. ”

"How is that possible? Don't lie to me, no matter how popular a movie is, it can't make me so famous. Basinger glared at Walter seductively, expressing her displeasure with the flattering guy in front of her.

"Can Lucas's film be comparable to the average hit?" Seeing that Basinger still didn't believe it, Walter replied without saying a word, perhaps only when the movie really worked hard, this woman could understand how correct her words were.

Until the applause stopped, the audience who stood up and applauded seemed to be a little unsatisfied, discussing their memories with each other, and even more, they raised their arms and shouted the slogan "No Vietnam War" in the theater.

After all, Disney is one of the eight major Hollywood companies, and its public relations capabilities are not comparable to ordinary film companies, and after seeing the audience watching the movie, they were so impulsive that they immediately captured the potential of the film, and did not give much time to Walter and the film actors who watched the film at the front desk, so they released several reporters at once.

At a cursory glance, Walter saw that reporters from the "Los Angeles Times" and "The New York Times", which have a lot of status in the United States, came to him, and secretly said that he was really hyped up, and such a movie without any famous directors and actors was worthy of being sought after by these big newspapers.

"Hello, Mr. Walter Volt, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, the premiere of the movie is so hot, it is said that you decisively signed Lucas, a little-known new director, what did you think at the time?"

"From the first time I saw George, I felt that he was very talented, and as soon as I saw the script, I could already see the magic of the film, so I signed it. ”

"Isn't it hasty to decide just because we met for the first time?"

"No, no, no, it's unfair to be sloppy, in my opinion, it's a kind of decisiveness, Lucas has the value of his talent, I'm just very decisive to invest. ”

"Okay, so may I ask, did you know later about the impact of the 'Agent Orange Incident' on the movie?"

"Ahem, ahem...... Sorry, time is limited, that's it for now, others need interviews as well. Seeing that the reporter asked the question he had been trying to avoid, Walter hurriedly diverted the topic and said that since the hype during this time, he has avoided this question as much as possible in the face of some follow-up interviews. Although he tried his best to avoid contact with himself before the hype, as the producer of "American Painting", no one would believe that he had nothing to do with it, of course, not only Walter, but also Lucas.

These reporters were arranged to take turns to interview in batches, after all, they are big newspapers, and they all have their own certain privileges in the face of Walter and Lucas, and they come up with a sweeping inquiry, after all, everyone can see that the movie will be popular, of course, they must ask as many questions as possible in advance and grasp first-hand information.

"Mike, can you not surprise us like this, at least before the interview, let's be a little prepared. Instead of going for an interview with another newspaper reporter, Walter walked straight up to Mike of the Bowell Film Distribution Company, who arranged the interview, and joked.

"I'm sorry, it's not something I can decide, and I don't want to be in such a hurry, it's just that those guys who have hormonal spikes when they see the news are crazy. ”
