September 21, evening.

There is still nearly an hour before the official release of "Killer Tragedy".

In the center of East Los Angeles' commercial street, in front of the Kamaike chain of cinemas, thousands of people have gathered.

They all came to see the premiere, and except for a few who were drawn, the vast majority of them were residents of the neighborhood.

They are all old neighbors for many years, and when they meet, they inevitably have to say hello.

Some have a good relationship, and after saying hello, they get together in twos and threes, chatting to pass the time, while waiting for the movie to start.

On the periphery of the crowd, Jim had just arrived with his new girlfriend and saw the neighbor's Andrews, "Hey, Andrew, what a coincidence, you guys are also coming to see the movie?" ”

Andrew, a somewhat balding middle-aged man, heard someone call him, turned his head to see that it was the neighbor's boy, and replied with a smile: "Yes, Jim, it's nice to see you here." ”

"Your Aunt Sophia won the third prize yesterday, and I've been hearing about this movie all the time, anyway, I have free movie tickets, so I'm here to join in the fun."

Sophia also took Andrew's arm and said with a smile: "Jim, you don't know how good my luck is. ”

"Originally, I went to buy a shirt for Andrew, but after I paid the money, the cashier told me that there was a raffle, and I just took one casually and won the third prize."

"In addition to the movie ticket, there is also a razor, which is the one that Andrew took a fancy to but was not willing to buy, so lucky."

"Little Jim, is it your girlfriend who is with you?"

Jim nodded shyly and introduced to everyone: "This is my girlfriend Grace, she has been clamoring to watch "Killer Tragedy" for the past two days. ”

"I can't help it, I'll bring her here."

Grace is a cheerful girl, and after greeting Mr. and Mrs. Andrew, she began to give them Amway, "You would never think that the director of this movie is my classmate. ”

"Oh, don't say it's you, even I didn't expect that someone like him would become a director!"

"If I hadn't seen him in a shopping mall when I went shopping last week, I wouldn't have known about it."

"I regret it now when I think about it, if I had known that I would really make a movie, maybe the heroine would be me."

Grace's mouth was not covered, which couldn't help but make Jim a little surprised, pouting and sneering: "Come on, people are now a big director, how can they still recognize you?" ”

"I think, I'm afraid we're all wrong, he's just a kid who just graduated from high school, what good movie can he make?"

"Grace, let's go to the mall, and then I'll take you to a good place."

"Have you heard of the Hero Bar? You can also watch movies there, and they are all the most classic old movies. ”

was ridiculed by her boyfriend in public, Grace couldn't hold her face a little, and said with an unhappy face: "If you want to go yourself, I'm going to watch this movie!" ”

"Okay, okay, it's up to you, I'll accompany you to see whatever you want."

Jim shrugged helplessly, coaxed Grace, and explained to Andrews with a smile: "She is this kind of character, she is still a good person, and she can talk to me very well, in fact, we have a good relationship." ”

Andrew smiled slightly and made a "I know" expression to Jim, and Sophia also covered her mouth and smiled: "Haha, I really didn't find out, now that our little Jim has grown up, he will make girls happy." ”

......

A few people were chatting happily, and a new black Cadillac sedan stopped on the side of their road, and Jim quickly pulled Grace to his side, "Honey, how many times have you been told, don't get too close to the side of the road, if you accidentally get hurt, I will be distressed." ”

Feeling Jim's concern, Grace leaned sweetly into his arms, and said coquettishly with a crimson face: "I know, Jim, with you by your side, what else am I worried about?" ”

Just then, the driver's door opened, and Cooper, dressed in a black Armani men's outfit and a pair of sunglasses, walked out coolly.

Then, according to what Harvey taught him before, he respectfully opened the door of the back seat, lowered his head and said to Tang Feng who was sitting in the car: "Sean, the theater has arrived, do you want to get out of the car now?" ”

Tang Feng nodded in a frustrated manner, then bowed out and whispered to Cooper: "Take off your sunglasses, don't look like a black bodyguard, we're here to watch a movie." ”

Cooper stalked his neck, and finally took off his sunglasses obediently, complaining: "I really don't understand, Harvey went to New York, Wilton and Anne went to Hollywood, Quentin and Yanusz went to Ingle and Long Beach respectively, and even William took Charlie to Santa Monica, why are we here?" ”

Tang Feng explained: "We are screening in 35 theaters at the same time, so naturally we have to divide the priority. ”

"Harvey invited some film critics and other colleagues in New York to build momentum for the film, and he was naturally the main venue for the premiere."

"It's not easy in other places, and you have to have people who can shock the audience, who have to deal with the management of the theater chain and the reporters who are interviewing."

Cooper: "yes, that's what I don't understand, why are you here when you sent everyone else to important places?" ”

Tang Feng said indifferently: "Those people just let them deal with it, let's just watch a good movie here, okay?" ”

Although he didn't care on the surface, he was actually a little nervous in his heart, even with a hint of worry and uneasiness.

The reason why Tang Feng threw everyone out and went to the most important theaters to sit in them, while he secretly stayed in East Los Angeles, was because he had a bad premonition.

He always felt that something seemed to happen today, just like the sudden incident a while ago, and maybe someone would suddenly jump out and make trouble.

That's why he persuaded everyone to guard the base camp of Dongluo by himself, and also arranged the reporters to be interviewed in other theaters.

Not only that, but he also said hello to Hunter, who has already summoned the police force, and in the event of an emergency like the last one, it is imperative to maintain order as soon as possible.

Of course, this is just a preparation, not that he has any persecution paranoia.

After all, it was his first movie, and now that there was such a big stir, he didn't want to make any more trouble.

As the two of them spoke, Grace recognized him and wanted to say hello to him, but she couldn't help but speak.

Just leaning into Jim's arms, she looked at her former classmate curiously, "This guy, why didn't I find out before, and now it looks pretty cool." ”

"The suit he wears is custom-made? The style is quite similar to my dad's, so it should be expensive, right? ”

"Wow, he was also sitting in the latest Cadillac, even my dad hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't buy it, the price is too high."

"That big black guy who looks fierce, is that his driver?"

"Tsk, making movies, riding in a luxury car, and taking a full-time driver, he is now a big shot, will he still recognize me?"

"If he really didn't recognize me, would Jim look down on me because I said a big thing?"

"I've said it so many times in front of him, not only are we classmates, I'm still one of his few good friends."

"Oh no, he's coming to me, I, what should I do?"

Just as she was about to bury her face in Jim's chest, a familiar voice rang in her ears, "Aha, isn't this Grace!" ”

"My friend, I really didn't expect you to come to see my movie, it makes me so happy."

"Hey, Grace, why are you stunned and don't speak? Don't know me anymore? I'm Sean! ”

When Tang Feng was talking to Cooper, he found that the person next to him had been looking at them, and when he turned his head, he saw his predecessor's classmate.

And it's Grace who is the best for him besides Charlie.

hurriedly greeted her, who knew that she was there and didn't speak, Tang Feng had no choice but to say his name.

After a long while, Grace returned to normal, and as usual, she reached out and hammered Tang Feng's arm, and then said with some grievance: "Good boy, I said why didn't you call me during the summer vacation, it turns out that you really went to make a movie quietly!" ”

"Say, do you treat me as a good friend, and don't call me such a fun thing?"

Tang Feng smiled helplessly at Jim and Andrew behind her, and then explained, "I'm sorry, Grace, I had some trouble a while ago. And after the matter was settled, I started to work on my movie and forgot to contact you. ”

Grace said magnanimously: "Forget it, for the sake of your honest face, I will believe what you say." ”

"Didn't Charlie come with you? Haven't you always been inseparable? ”

Tang Feng replied: "He and William went to Santa Monica, and I came by myself." ”

As he spoke, Jim interjected with a red face, "You, hello, my name is Jim, and I'm Grace's boyfriend." ”

"You're Sean, the director of "Killer's Tragedy", right? Nice to meet you. ”

Tang Feng smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you, wow, I really didn't expect that Grace would have a boyfriend after only two months of not seeing each other." ”

After the greetings, Tang Feng took Cooper into the theater, he didn't just come to see the movie, he had to communicate with the theater manager first, and in case of any accidents, he could also be prepared.

Looking at his back, Jim sighed, "Now I believe that he is really your good friend." ”

Then he said excitedly: "Honey, can you tell him that I want to work in his company, and I also want to make movies!" ”

Grace took his arm and said proudly, "No problem! He's my best friend, and he'll be sure to do you a little favor. ”
