On the night of the 21st, the premiere of Dream of Tears was held in New York, and Song Ya and Mariah Carey held hands like golden boys and girls, and greeted people with smiling faces at the door of the theater as the master of the ceremony.

"Cold, huh? I'll ask Taragi to get a coat ......," Song Ya waved to himself on one side, and the two fans whispered concern.

"Now? No way! ”

She was beautiful and frozen in the cold wind, and she decisively refused, "Don't think about it as a play, you just care about the little things in my stomach, right?" ”

"What a little thing, such a nasty ......"

The two were still complaining to each other one second, and the next second they were already smiling and hugging Spike who came to cheer, "Thank you for coming to Spike, this is Director An Lee, right?" He shook hands with an elegant Chinese man who had come with Spike.

"Yes, we worked together in ''83, 'Joan's Barbershop, when I was his classmate and camera assistant." An Li said with a smile.

"Haha, and we are all surnamed Li." Spike Lee laughed.

It seems that the two have a good relationship, and now An Lee's achievements in all aspects are higher than Spike Lee's, after all, even Hollywood is willing to hand over the guide of the famous book of reason and emotion to him, and the father's trilogy in the first half of the nineties, pushers, wedding banquets, and food men and women are all top-notch.

His reason and emotion have also started painting, and he has taken the road of award-winning art films, and the all-meter theater line has been firmly suppressed at 70 in the past few weeks, and the word of mouth and the box office of a single theater are very good, and the stamina will be very strong.

And An Li knows Mandarin, and it seems to be called Chinese over there? He can talk to himself better than Stanley Don.

"I love your films, next time I have a chance to work together?"

"Definitely."

The two talked for a long time, and Mariah Carey didn't understand at all next to her, but she couldn't stop her from staring at An Li, her eyes shining, "Can you find him to work with me next time?" Is it as simple as eating and drinking water for people like him to win awards? Very good at praising actresses? "When the two 'Lee' directors walked into the theater, she had another idea.

"You want acting."

"Huh!?"

"There is a chance, there is a chance, I will find a way to see if I can deceive ...... Ah no, can you make an appointment for him? Song Ya dealt with it casually, and then diverted her attention according to her experience, "After tonight, the ban on Xingmeng's tear-stained film reviews will be lifted, and you have to be mentally prepared for tomorrow's media reaction." ”

"Hmph, I know."

With the deepening of the screening, she now has a good idea of the true level of Xingmeng's tears, otherwise how would she change the premiere location back to New York and increase the publicity of the black community? doesn't admit it, but in order not to lose to Whitney Houston at the box office, it is too ugly, and it is still necessary to respect the objective facts and adjust the corresponding countermeasures.

Now her template for Dream Tears is 'Block Boys', expecting her and Patti LaBelle two generations of African-American DIVA to play the gimmick of mother and daughter in the movie, marketing to the black community, and currying favor.

Song Ya personally felt that this goal was also a bit whimsical, she overestimated her influence on urban blacks, and the main audience of her former adult lyrical genre was still white after all.

"Huh? Is Mariah Carey African? ”

After the grand premiere, she went on stage to do live interviews with the male lead Jude Law and the director, Song Ya stayed alone in the audience, and the question of a middle-aged white man in the back row in a surprised tone came into her ears.

In recent years, many ordinary people who don't care much about gossip news have indeed always thought that she is a white person, but after this movie, there should be no more such misunderstandings.

"It's just a movie." Said a middle-aged white friend.

"Autobiographical films." The middle-aged white man retorted.

"Uh...... That's probably half-blood. His friend wasn't sure.

Invited to the premiere, the voices that can reach my ears are all New York celebrities, and even some people in this group can't figure it out, which is very telling.

Celebrities always pay attention to what the gossip media says about themselves, but that is not necessarily equal to the opinion of most people, and celebrities are not as important as they think.

Song Ya looked at Mariah Carey in front of her, she was chatting about her past on stage, and excitedly said endlessly, what are the plots of which movies are what and when, what is the name of a certain character in the film in reality at that time, and she also came to the premiere, "Come up, come up!" She loudly called an old friend to the stage and asked him to tell him how difficult she was at that time and how hard she worked on her singing career.

The old friend made her giggle on stage by saying, 'I knew Maria was going to be a superstar,' and she giggled on stage.

Whitney Houston's re-introduction to his natural acting skills when he wakes up is a far improvement over the bodyguards, and the film's use of all-African-American actors marks a major shift in social phenomena. ’

Although the plot is full of escapist fantasies when I wake up, it still gives the female audience a lot of room to think about how to face her problems and enjoy all the good and bad things in life, from the car, to the house, to the closet, to the man, and even to the wrong man. ’

'Waiting to wake up is a perfect example of how African-American women can explore real relationship problems! ’

Early the next morning, the film review was freshly released, and she unexpectedly lost to Whitney Houston, and the film critics praised her when she woke up from her dream, at least more than eighty percent of them were praised, and the tears of Xingmeng were almost the opposite......

'We're honored to have another DIVA candidate for next year's Golden Raspberry Award, Mariah Carey, whose performance in Movie Star Dream Tears was a disaster. ’

'A shallow story, a nice soundtrack, that's all. ’

'The clichés inherent in autobiographical movies of singers, kitsch, and nothing to do, are forced into some rigid and hilarious plots for the sake of grand singing and dancing scenes. ’

The first half is not good, but the second half is not bad, because Mariah Carey has less time to cross in the film. ’

Rookie director Steve Ronn Mitchell had big problems with his storytelling, but the graphics and editing were well controlled. ’

Jude Law's related plot has been cut to pieces, and the male protagonist he plays is not only handsome enough, but his acting and behavioral logic feel weird, and it is hard to imagine that he had just won the Laurence Oliver Award for Best Newcomer the year before, and the British star's Hollywood road suffered a head-on blow. ’

The film critics who have been in public relations before have shrunk, and they will pretend to be dead if they give a high score and say two innocuous good words.

"Aung Aung Ang!" She was so angry that she broke down and cried on the phone.

"Don't move, don't breathe, adjust your breathing, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale......"

Song Ya secretly felt funny, if it weren't for the fear that the pregnant woman's spirit would be hit, he would even want to say a few cool words, so that you are stubborn and don't listen to me.

"You should have persuaded me then!" She began to dump the pot unreasonably, "Scumbag! ”

"It's boring to say this, Mimi, we haven't quarreled a lot about this before, who called you ......"

"Aung Aung Ang!"

"Okay, okay, don't cry, let everything pass, try your best to do what you have to do, at least let the debut not lose money. Adjust your mood and stop reading the gibberish of those film critics, they don't understand you at all. Think about your music career, is it overpowering Whitney right now? One Sweet Day is still winning streaks, isn't it? There are losses and wins, it is a tie, a tie ......"

Song Ya coaxed a few words, feeling that she could still withstand it at the moment, so she hummed the song and hung up the phone, "Taraghi, how is the box office performance of cat and mouse games this week?" ”

"Hit by the double attack of the brave game and the line of fire, as well as the return of resources to the new father-in-law 2 theater, the decline is relatively large."

Taragi reported: "There are only nearly seven million left at the box office. ”

"Wow, that Christmas holiday isn't going to be easy."

Next week, a large number of films will be released in a bunch, including Stay Until You Wake Up and Star Dream Tears, and the pressure of competition will be even greater. Of course, Song Ya doesn't care anymore, the cat-and-mouse game will definitely make money, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less, and the number of moviegoers during the Christmas holiday will also increase significantly.

"The good news is that Broadwell Pictures has agreed to the long-term screening plan submitted by Mr. Linton and us." "They also think we can achieve something this season," Taragi said. ”

"Of course."

The end of the year is the day when the film critics associations, screen actors unions and other organizations around the country focus on awarding awards, the cat and mouse game has achieved good results, John Malkovich has won many nominations and awards for best supporting actor, including the Chicago Film Critics Association, the second place in terms of quantity is the best film score co-branded by himself and the soundtrack, and the third is the best adapted screenplay award for himself and former well-known talk show host Johnny Carson and screenwriters such as Kunes.

The male protagonists Jared Leto and Amy Adams won some small acting awards for young people, and Ashley Judd won sporadic supporting actress awards, which should have been helped by Harvey Weinstein for public relations.

So the focus of PR at the awards should be Best Supporting Actor, Best Soundtrack and Best Adapted Screenplay, and the rest is not competitive, after all, director Ridley Scott is still angry, and now the box office is so good, he ...... Maybe it's even angrier......

"Anyway, I've got my business in mind."

In addition to accompanying Mariah Carey to dutifully carry out the publicity mission, Song Ya also took the opportunity to return to Chicago for the Christmas reunion to reprimand Tony and Connie again, especially Connie.

Tony is thick and fine, don't look at the usual mouths, and he really won't reveal too much about himself to his ex-girlfriends who just plan to have fun, Connie is much more stupid and takes her feelings seriously, although it doesn't affect the men around her to change often.

"Your tastes are still focused on the dancers, ah?" When the whole family sat at the dining table, Song Ya took the opportunity to tease her.

"Hmm." Connie also admitted that her boyfriend had changed several times from white to black, skinny to strong, "Sorry, I didn't know that guy would say bad things about you to the media." She cautiously asked, "You won't ...... him"

"Hmph." Song Ya snorted twice with his nostrils, "Not for the time being." ”

At Christmas in '95, except for Aunt Susie, everyone at the table couldn't let go, and Song Ya felt that they were all observing themselves, including little Emily, "What task did Matthew Norris arrange for you?" ”

"Practicing singing, the intensity is very high, and learning how to deal with the media." Emily replied.

"Did Foxy brown join you?" Song Ya asked.

"Just met, she can't get used to Beyoncé always looking like a princess, I feel like I'm having fun watching it." Emily seems to be a little gloating.

"Really? And what about what she does to you? ”

Song Ya didn't expect this stubble, and now that she thinks about it, it's really a bit inappropriate to stuff a street girl into the Destiny True Girl, "You should act as the glue of the team." ”

"We don't have a good relationship." Emily replied.

"Hmm." Song Ya nodded, "Foxy brown is more popular than you, has more experience, and is from the street, don't let her bully those four girls." She's going to launch her first major next year, and she won't have much time to stay with you, so let's run in for the time being. ”

"It's not certain who bullies whom, Beyoncé is the boss's daughter." Emily pouted.

"It's your boss's boss sister, you should stand up at this time."

After Song Ya finished speaking, I felt that this team was so complicated by me?

"It's up to you." Emily is in a rebellious phase, and she doesn't want to talk to the 'grown-up' about herself.

"What about Mimi? Don't even celebrate Christmas together this year? I also want to pass on some of her experience in giving birth to a baby. Aunt Susie asked.

"She's very busy, promoting movies, and hitting charts."

Song Ya hasn't told them about her divorce yet, "I have to run a commercial show at Christmas, which is very hard and very hard." ”

"Her movie is good, I think it's good." Connie said, "I've taken my little sister to support me several times. ”

"Me too, me and Beyoncé both love it." Emily chimed in, "Is her plot with Jude Law real?" Did she really have such a boyfriend before she became famous? ”

"It's my business......" Song Ya didn't bother to explain.

"Will your discriminatory Nger boss step down?" Tony suddenly asked, "I remember that you didn't have a good relationship before. ”

"He's a my boss."
