0730 [Collective Singing and Decline]

"An unknown young actor, wrote an unknown script, found a world boxing champion to shoot, and the filming was completed in just one week, that's it, and you still want to make money in Hollywood?"

Horvin, the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, has a very good relationship with Paramount boss Carlos.

The two usually go to bars and dance halls to have fun, and Carlos helps pay for them every time.

This time, Horvin knew that Carlos was unhappy with Du Yongxiao, especially unhappy with Du Yongxiao's heroic filming, and wanted to dominate Hollywood, so he wrote a special review article to sing about the drama "Rocky".

Hollywood is such a big place, and the entertainment industry is also a river and lake.

Horvin is also very influential in the industry, as soon as he made a move, some younger brothers immediately followed, and they also wrote articles one after another, and collectively sang down before "Rocky" was released, hoping to rely on the pen to beat this drama into the eighteenth layer of hell.

"A simple boxing story, low-cost investment, not worth watching!"

"Watching 'Rocky' is a waste of time, and yes, if you have that time, you might as well go to the bar and have a martini."

The audience and readers are closed to information, and the media sings about "Rocky" like this, so that this drama has not yet been released, and it has been predicted that the box office will be at the bottom, and it will even be released within three days.

The form is grim.

Fox was in a hurry.

Du Yongxiao was very calm.

He made a phone call, and for him, the people who wrote these articles were some little ghosts.

And all he has to do is find a "Yang Zhong Kui" and ask her to catch ghosts.

The next dayβ€”

The most famous magazine in the United States is no less popular than the Los Angeles Times, and even the entertainment sector surpasses the other party's "New Yorker" to publish opinion articles-β€”β€”

""Rocky, is it box office poison, or is it a dark horse in Hollywood?"

The content of the article is profoundly engraved, proceeding from reality, and calling on the audience to know how to think independently and not be swayed by some inexplicable commentary articles.

"Believe in yourselves and choose the movies that you think are good, especially before a movie is released, please keep your eyes open!"

"As a Chinese gentleman told me on the phone, the night gave him black eyes to look for the light. God, what beautiful verses, and I was struck by his wisdom at that moment. ”

"So now I'm going to appeal here too, and we're going to do the same, with our blue eyes, our green eyes...... Go find the truth! ”

Finally, at the end of the article-β€”β€” signed "Pauline Kyle"!

That's right!

This article was written by the famous female author, female film critic Pauline Kyle.

Since the last time Pauline inadvertently helped Du Yongxiao, turned the tables against the wind, and made Bruce Lee's "Raptors Across the River" popular, Du Yongxiao went to New York out of gratitude and found Pauline to talk.

Du Yongxiao knows everything about astronomy and geography, Western literature, and Oriental literature, coupled with the accumulation of knowledge in the previous life, which made Pauline "shocked" in the conversation, and her good impression of Du Yongxiao doubled, at least I feel that Du Yongxiao is different from other movie bosses, not the kind of copper smell.

The two have had a deep friendship since then.

Du Yongxiao knew that Pauline was not that kind of material person, so he secretly helped her to improve her life, in the name of her boss and the name of the magazine "The New Yorker", let her move from the small apartment where she lived to a small villa closer to the magazine, and for the convenience of work, he also gave her a car and so on, and gave her all kinds of care.

Pauline is not a material woman, but she is not a fool either, and the improvement of her life seems to be the company's "kindness" to herself, but why not before?

But after she and Du Yongxiao met and talked, their work and life changed a lot?

As a smart woman, Pauline didn't ask because she knew that even if she asked, she wouldn't be able to ask for results.

And what she has to do next is to return Du Yongxiao's kindness to him little by little.

So this time Du Yongxiao called and asked her to help write a draft, Pauline didn't say a word, not only went to Los Angeles in person, but also wrote it directly.

After writing the script, for the sake of prudence and more worthy of her profession, Pauline bought the movie tickets for the play "Rocky" for the first time, and she wanted to use her own eyes to prove whether the play was good or not.

……

"Damn, I heard that this drama was scolded very badly!"

"Yes, I've heard it too, and many film critics have scolded this drama as rubbish!"

"And you guys are coming over to see?"

"Curious!"

"Yes, the more they scold, the more curious we become! What's more, Pauline has written it all, so let's use our eyes to tell the good from the bad!"

Los Angeles -β€”β€”

At the entrance of Fox's movie theater, some spectators waited to buy tickets to enter.

Pauline glanced at it, there weren't too many people.

It seems that those singing and declining still have some resistance effect.

Pauline bought a ticket, walked into the cinema, and as far as the eye could see, there was less than a third of the audience.

It's no wonder that in addition to the boxing champion Ali, there is no well-known actor in this play, and it is already a miracle that he can not hit the street.

"I'm here to see the boxing champion Ali, and I'm a big fan of him."

"Me too! Hahaha, everyone is the same, who knows who that Stallone is? ”

Pauline shrugged, and the comment was not unexpected.

It's just that somewhere in front of her, a white man buried his head in his wife's arms melancholy: "Sarah, I'm afraid!" ”

"No, you don't have to be afraid! It doesn't matter if they don't know each other now, when this play is over, they will all know you, know that your name is Stallone, and know that you are a good movie actor! ”

"Will that happen?" Stallone looked up at his wife's bright eyes, a little unconfident.

"Surely, because I've seen how hard you work! Especially for this drama, how much do you pay! Sara encouraged Stallone.

Stallone took a deep breath and came out of his wife's arms, "Yes, you're right, I'm supposed to be a warrior, I shouldn't hide in your arms!" ”

Then looked at the big screen, "Even if it's not for me, for Mr. Du, I can't lose this time!" ”

Seeing her husband's morale boosted, Sarah was very happy and held Stallone's hand: "Yes, Mr. Du is a good person, he trusts you so much, you must not let him down!" ”

At this timeβ€”

Bang Bang Bang!

The cinema lights dimmed.

The audience was deserted.

Only some people are still whispering: "The movie is on, let's eat popcorn first!" ”

"Yes, even if the movie is boring, you can pass the time!"

There are not many audiences, and everyone is curious about what kind of bad movie this is?

Pauline is curious, is this film good or bad?

Stallone is curious, can he succeed this time?

Paramount Company in the distance, the big guy Carlos is curious, will Du Yongxiao win this time?

As for Du Yongxiao?

He is very curious, if this drama explodes tomorrow, what clothes should he wear for an interview?
