'Click-......'

In the pitch-black room, Songya and Halle Berry leaned back on their pillows relaxedly, taking the sound of others turning the doorknob as an afterthought.

"I thought Cooper's house was going to be big." Hallie said that Cooper didn't have many rooms in the house, and the two of them stayed in one room and locked it up, causing the men and women outside to frequently try to open the door to no avail.

"Damn! Open the door for me! Die to the dogs and men inside! A black man at the door scolded and walked away.

"Hahaha......"

Both laughed, but it didn't matter, someone else would try it soon.

In terms of the music industry, Song Ya knows a lot more than her, "Cooper is in . A is red to red, I didn't make much money, and my first single result after flying solo was average, so I really couldn't afford to buy a big house in Hollywood. ”

"He's funny." Hallie smiled: "I was so positive about this movie that I thought he was an investor at first, but today I learned that he only played a supporting role." ”

"He now wants to make a bad breath with this movie." Song Ya replied.

"I know." With. A new special is a big hit, and their feud with Cooper is almost well known in the black circle, and Hallie naturally has heard about it, "Cooper played very well in this movie." Hallie expertly commented: "A street boy with a sense of morality is played very well, and there is no trace of carving." ”

"Hmm."

Cooper's role is in line with his usual personality, but he is not playing himself, and Song Ya knows that Cooper is a very intelligent and cultural person in reality.

"But this movie may not be good at the box office......"

"There are problems with the editing and pacing, and the performance of the main character, Cuba Godin Jr., is mediocre, and the excavation of social issues is far less profound than that of jungle fever." ”

Song Ya smiled slightly, "Hallie, you're not from the streets, are you?" ”

"Of course not." Halle Berry looked at him in amazement, "My parents divorced when I was a child, and I live with a white mother, why do you ask this?" ”

"You don't know about black boys on the streets."

Song Ya said: "I think this movie will be a big hit, and the bottom black people will like this movie very much." ”

"Oh?" Hallie was interested, "I'd like to hear about it." ”

"Social issues are just a façade for the film, but it'...... I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I brought out a street boy's dream, Harley. The so-called dream is the distance you can't reach, and the thing you can't ask for. Song Ya stretched out a finger, "The protagonist is very honest from childhood to adulthood, studies well, never takes the initiative to cause trouble, and leaves the block by reading." Neighborhood boys can't do it, they can even bully people like that, but that doesn't mean they don't have such a dream in their hearts. ”

"Second, the mother of the protagonist has a master's degree and elegant manners, and the mother of the street boy is generally a rude housewife with little culture."

"Three, although the protagonist's parents are divorced, the protagonist can live with his father, which is simply impossible among street boys, and most black fathers have no sense of responsibility."

Fourth, the protagonist's father not only has a lofty financial job, can be polite in a high-end restaurant, but can decisively pull out a gun and shoot when a thief enters the house, he never uses violence but patiently teaches his son, and can give a wonderful speech to the community residents to point out the general trend of the country, which is ...... Hahaha......" Song Ya said and laughed as she spoke, "This is simply the father template of a street boy's dream, in fact, black fathers are often mixed with gangs, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, domestic violence is a common thing, and there is no useful insight except for words and phrases that start with F." ”

"Fifth, the protagonist is both good at studying, honest, and has a bunch of ruthless brothers, which is impossible in reality, how can there be the kind of gang brothers in the slums where you come to help at any time when you are in trouble, and then don't drag you into the water?"

Song Ya counted that one hand was not enough, "Six, the supporting role played by Escuber finally succeeded in avenging his younger brother, holding a pistol to execute the enemies one by one, which must have a refreshing sense of revenge in the eyes of street boys, aren't they gangs just to have that kind of shining moment one day?" ”

Seventh, the protagonist's father even threw out the stereotype of drug rampant in black neighborhoods in his speech, saying that Hollywood and Washington had drugs, and white people began to shout to clean up the drug problem in black neighborhoods. It's just ......," Song Ya thought of the adjective for a long time, "It's shameless, but the street boys who deal with drugs every day will listen to it." ”

"And eight, remember. Did A scold the police officer's song? They say black police officers are more hateful than white people, and this movie depicts a hateful black police officer......"

"By the way, there are nine, the protagonist's girlfriend is from a devout Catholic family, and she is still holding on to her blood in her twenties, where can you find this kind of girl in the slums?"

After Song Ya finished speaking at length, Harley's eyes on him had changed from respect to admiration, "APLUS, HOW DID YOU GROW THIS HEAD?" Not really familiar with the film industry? So many ...... can be analyzed."

"I'm not familiar with movies, but I'm familiar with the psychology of street boys, and I'm also from Chicago Southside."

Song Ya patted her on the shoulder, "This movie will never be bad at the box office, as I said, it is very pleasing to the boys in the block." ”

The doorknob rang again, and the two rolled together again laughing.

At four o'clock in the morning, Tarragi drove Song Ya through the streets of Los Angeles, observing the location of the paparazzi's motorcycle from the rearview mirror from time to time, "Is this the life of a star?" She said excitedly: "Spotlight, woman, body, paparazzi, news." ”

"You summed it up accurately, Taragi."

Song Ya lay lazily in the back seat, "You didn't drink on the body?" ”

"If you hadn't forbade me to drink it, I wouldn't have been able to control myself." "The men in the body are so enthusiastic. ”

"Good, keep in control, I don't need an assistant who gets drunk on the body, how was the response to the premiere?" Song Ya asked.

"It's very good, the audience is discussing the plot enthusiastically after they come out."

Taraghi turned on the radio, 'The Block Boys premiered today, and there was a disturbance outside some of the theaters that night, and some viewers seemed to link the film to the recent Rodney King case......,' the news host was announcing worriedly.

"Black movies seem to have a lot to offer."

Song Ya was very rewarding at the premiere of this film, "Spike Lee's jungle fever is about focusing on social issues and then participating in major film festivals, winning awards and then going back to the box office, and this block boy lowers his stature and weaves a dream world that the black community is happy to eat." Both films are done perfectly, and both paths work...... "He felt like he was enlightened again.

After a night's rest at the hotel, Songya calls Mira and Hallie to say goodbye and returns to Chicago.

"Professional bodyguards?"

Hamlyn Howard and Chuck Goodman completed the merger of the firm, and the name of the law firm that now serves the three companies has been changed to Goodman & Howard.

"What do you suggest Hamlin?" Song Ya mentioned the matter of bodyguards when they re-signed the contract.

"How about I introduce you to a personal candidate? Absolutely unlimited trust. ”

Hamlin said, "Goodman, do you remember the old man in the old courtroom who looked at the parking lot? McElman Trout, he is a Vietnam veteran, he has all the gun papers, he is a very reassuring person. ”

"We all call him Old Mike."
