Chapter 302: Stealing the Mood Saint

"Whoopi Goldburg is now the number one black actress in Hollywood."

On July 1st, Song Ya and Hallie had just walked the red carpet of the premiere when they heard the deafening screams of fans behind them, not for a popular student or idol actress, but for the nearly forty-year-old Whoopi Goldburg with a happy appearance. Her comedy The Nun, which was released in May, also sparked a craze for the whole rice, with the industry predicting that the North Rice box office would be 150 million, and the global box office would exceed 200 million, while the cost was only 30 million.

Disney's 'touchstone' strategy was a great success, the Hollywood giant that originally focused on the children's and family carnival market was forced by the market to make a strategic transformation in the 80s, and established the Touchstone Pictures label, focusing on adult-themed film production.

"Yes, her movie is still being released, and it's very interesting to be able to stand for us." Hallie said.

Several big black names in Hollywood, such as Eddie Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, and Whoopi Goldberg, are still relatively united, and are willing to give opportunities to those below them in most cases, but not necessarily for black actors who have a competitive relationship.

In the early years, there were few opportunities for black people in Hollywood, and almost all of them were tied to death, such as Eddie Murphy was a comedian who kept making jokes about gags, Morgan Freeman played the old man, Denzel Washington was a serious play, and Whoopi Goldberg was a female version of gags and pretending to be ugly. There is also a black supermodel Naomi Campbell in the modeling circle, who suppresses the juniors mercilessly, and doesn't even bother to hide it.

From this point of view, Hallie has met a good opportunity, she is very close to the specific type of 'most beautiful black vase', according to the black aesthetic of this era, she is not the most beautiful black actress, and even mixed-race blood is occasionally attacked, but because of the difference between black and white aesthetics in the mainstream market, the two sides have been slow to reach a consensus on who is 'the most beautiful'.

As the aesthetics of the black community gradually converged with the whites, the attacks on the mixed-race began to become politically incorrect, and at the current point in time, a large uncultivated no-man's land suddenly appeared in front of Hallie's star journey, where there were no rigid bosses, and there were almost no competitors at the same level, as long as you were careful to deal with the latecomers who were lower than hers.

"What are your plans after this movie?" Song Ya asked.

"There is a TV series role, playing a mixed-race black slave, showing acting skills and rushing to word of mouth. The economist suggested that I stop taking commercial films for the time being, wait for the box office results of the film to come out, and then raise the salary to observe the market reaction. In the past two years since I came to New York, in order to maintain a glamorous image on the outside, I have to live a careful life every day, really, I am poor. ”

In front of him, Harley was even more unscrupulous than before, and she whispered a complaint.

"You ......" Song Ya wanted to say that your life is better now than being homeless in New York, but is interrupted by the loud noise of people in the theater, and Whoopi Goldburg comes in.

This black aunt who has just carried hundreds of millions of box office is very energetic, and she keeps high-fiveing people from the back row, without any star shelf.

"Congratulations." Eddie Murphy waited in the middle of the first row, hugging her warmly.

"I wish you well." She spoke to the cast and crew and VIPs in the first row, one by one, "Hallie, you're so beautiful. After she hugged Harley, "APLUS! She made a surprise to Song Ya, "Cool boy, I love your song to death......"

After giving Song Ah a big hug, "Come, how about giving me the same kiss as Harley......

She pursed her mouth, Song Yazheng didn't know how to deal with it, and she quickly kissed her on the left and right cheeks, "Scare you, hahaha!" She looked at the person next to her and smiled.

People laughed out loud, because they had all seen the kissing gossip between themselves and Hallie outside the Columbia set.

Song Ya could only laugh along.

"WHERE'S BABYFACE?" Whoopi Goldburg asked.

Song Ya pointed to the stage, "Right now." ”

Accompanied by rhythm and blues music, BABYFACE and Donnie Breston walked onto the stage singing Give U My Heart from the soundtrack.

Everyone stood and twisted their bodies, clapping their hands with their hands, "Oh my God, he's still so young......"

WHOOPI GOTHENBURG LOOKED AT BABYFACE ON STAGE, THE SINGER WHO WAS ONLY THREE AND A HALF YEARS YOUNGER THAN HER SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN BY TIME, AND STILL LOOKED LIKE A YOUNG MAN IN HIS EARLY TWENTIES, WEARING JEANS, A METAL BELT, AND AN OPEN JACKET, SINGING AND DANCING ON STAGE WITH DOWNIE.

Donnie's evening outfit makes her fiery figure reveal and radiant.

Hallie subconsciously looked down at today's dress, she wore an office-style fashion in order to echo the role of the secretary in the movie, she pouted, she should have a little regret, the limelight was stolen by Donnie.

At the end of the high-quality chorus, the popular rhythm and blues group Boyz II man took the stage to the applause of the crowd and presented an end of The Road still composed by BABYFACE.

The four harmonies work together perfectly, and Song Ya feels that this song has the potential to be the crown.

After the two songs, the Stealing Mood Saint began to be screened, and everyone sat down.

This movie has been screened on a small scale in Los Angeles in advance, and Song Ya has already seen the film, Eddie Murphy is very ambitious, almost all black, the movie is similar to the block boy from a certain angle, and they all weave a dream world of black people, in this movie, the black leading actors wear high-end clothes in front of business executives, go in and out of various high-end places, and keep running around the world for their transnational business, and going to the island resort is also a trip to go.

The difference is that Eddie Murphy's ** seems too pompous and ungrounded, at least in the eyes of black people, the world in the movie is too fake, far less delicate than John Singleton in the block boys.

And then the core of the movie is still what Eddie Murphy is good at, colorful jokes, long gags, one second it is still a busy scene of people coming and going in a big company full of blacks or a lively and flashy high-end ball, and the next second he and Martin Lawrence and others are performing a long-form group talk show, which makes the rhythm of the movie a big problem.

The production is also weird, some of the pictures are very good, some have obvious traces of rough reshoots, Harley has two frontal monologues close-up to the camera, Song Ya is barely a layman now, and it can be seen at a glance that it is very different from the overall picture style of the movie.

However, the character of the male protagonist Eddie Murphy is very consistent with reality, and in the end, he and the character played by Hallie finally became married.

Hallie's little secretary is on the top, in fact, what this character does is quite a, fortunately, she relies on her appearance to achieve crushing in the play, basically, the first time she appears, the audience guesses that she will finally get together with Eddie Murphy.

After the premiere, Song Ya participated in one of the most torturous parties after the crossing, and Hallie was basically deliberately ignored by the women of the entire crew, and Nicole Mitchell, the girlfriend of the party host, Eddie Murphy, also sneered head-on, and the actors of the crew also chose to stand on the same side as the women.

"Let's go."

There is fire and it is not good, Song Yacai is too lazy to stay on this occasion, "Being envied by everyone is actually not a bad thing. He comforted Harley.

"In Hollywood?" Hallie smiled wryly and shook her head, "You don't know Hollywood yet. ”

Song Ya was speechless, patted her hand next to her, and the two walked towards the door, "APLUS!" Suddenly, someone in the back called his name, it was Donnie.

"Take me one?" She seemed to be drunk, and bit her lip at the two of them and laughed, "Harley, you don't mind, do you?" ”

"You're going now? NO, WHAT ABOUT BABYFACE? SONG YA WON'T TOUCH BABYFACE'S WOMAN, ALTHOUGH HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO IS.

DONNIE LUNU WAS TALKING TO A WOMAN IN HER ARMS, AS IF IT WERE HIS WIFE, TRACY EDMONDS.

"Do you know how to chair dance?" Harley asked suddenly.

"What chair dance?" Donnie looked dazed.

"APLUS invented, come on, let's go find a place." Hallie abducted her into the car.

"You're really, really sweet, Harley......"
