Chapter 565 First Weekend

"APLUS, Ms. Michelle sent a package, which seems to be an oil painting."

In Tribeca, New York, Song Ya, who was lying on the sofa and dozed off, received a call from a servant in Highland Park, "Has she left a message?"

"Let you call back."

"OK."

Find Michelle's phone number and call it, "It's the one you sent." The other party replied.

"Why?" Song Ya thought she wanted to break up the relationship, "Is there something wrong between us?"

"No, uh, we have to make some preparations, he wants to go into politics, so..." Michelle laughed: "After listening to your song, he finally made up his mind."

"Is that so?"

Song Ya suddenly said, "What are your plans? Maybe I can help. But this year is not an election year..."

"I won't be polite when I need help. We have to make some preparations in advance, you know, to straighten out some relationships, and probably aim at the state representative election in the Hyde Park constituency at the end of 1995." Michelle replied.

"No problem, my voter qualification is also hanging there, so it's a matter of course to help." It's a trivial matter, Song Ya readily agreed.

"APLUS, Miss Kelly, we're leaving." Linda reminded me.

On Sunday night, Song Ya and his fiancée appeared in New York to catch up with the theater activities here, "Hey, Harry, Spike, welcome."

Harley appeared with Spike Lee on her arm. She was glamorous and high-spirited as she participated in two summer movies that were sold out one after another, while Spike Lee, who had just played one next to her, was listless and unable to cheer up.

"Nice to see you again." After Spike Lee and Mariah Carey hugged, he asked Song Ya: "How much is the box office expected to reach in the first weekend?"

"The exact figure will come out tomorrow morning, and Universal estimates it to be around nine million." Song Ya replied.

"That's a fierce competition with the baseball angels?" Old Larry came with Stan Brackey from behind, and a **** white old man behind the two said.

"Mr. Woody Allen! Welcome, thank you for coming."

Seeing the other party was overjoyed, Song Ya took Mariah Carey and hugged each other affectionately. Stan Black and Hitch next to him blinked. Song Ya knew that they all belonged to the New York gang in the American film industry, and the Hollywood gang on the east coast. It’s a little alienating from people, but it is more closely related to the European New Wave and avant-garde film circles. It likes to discuss human and social issues, and Spike Lee is also one of them.

To make Woody Allen such an artistic title director run to support a pure youth commercial film, old Larry worked hard for this film, and he probably spent all the points he had accumulated for many years.

"Angel helped to win the game. No matter how you think about it, this is also a Disney movie."

Spike Lee complained. The prototype of the baseball team in that movie is the California Angels. Disney is one of the owners of the team. The protagonist is thirteen-year-old Joseph. Let's talk about it when the Angels win the championship' became his belief. The little boy kept praying to God, and in the end he really got an answer. victory.

This overly metaphysical development was not embraced by bored baseball fans during the offseason, especially after their favorite home team became one stepping stone after another on the Angels' road to success with the help of the Angels, such as the Chicago Red Sox. lost a member of the loser's background board, and word of mouth showed obvious signs of decline.

In the end, the angel disappeared, and the scene where the audience compared the angel wings to encourage the players to win by themselves was a bit too sensational.

Of course, as a sports film, the inspirational line is the best to deal with, and Disney is particularly good at it, so Universal predicts that they can also win about 9 million box office in the first weekend, which is almost exactly the same as Dancing My Life. It is difficult to win or lose until the last moment. material.

"Stop talking about this, let's go in." Steinbrakhetch smiled.

In fact, the inspirational line that dances out of my life is not bad. It is different from the inspirational theme of "Believe in miracles and miracles will happen" by baseball angels.

Dance Out of My Life focuses on the female lead, the male lead, and the second male lead to overcome and surpass themselves through personal efforts. Abandoned street bastard.

"That's what worries me, he won't take it seriously."

Spike Lee has not seen the finished film, but he still remembers the content of the script. Now on the screen, the female principal sees through the male lead and says when the female lead asks her to let the male lead be her dance partner.

The same is true for the male protagonist. When the second male lead and the chubby boy complained about practicing dance with the rich girl instead of having fun with his brothers, he also felt that real dance performance was more difficult than he imagined, and on the other hand, he also felt that the real dance performance was more difficult than he imagined. Tempted by the carefree life, he fooled around with the second male brother again.

"It's not bad so far." Spike Lee asked Harley in a low voice: "In the end, I followed the APLUS script, right? Happy ending?"

"You don't know him yet?" Harry asked back.

"There is no artistic pursuit at all."

Without the confidence of the box office, Spike Lee can only whisper this now.

Later, when the male protagonist was watching a baseball game with the male second, he mentioned the male second’s talent and dreams. He asked the male second, so good, why didn’t he try on a professional team? After being rejected by the male second, he persuaded the male second He replied: "Don't talk about me, don't you also look like this? No matter what you always give up quickly!"

The male protagonist was woken up by this hurtful sentence, and returned to the female protagonist. The female protagonist did not dare to believe him anymore, and said that she would test him again, so the two came to the ballet classroom where the female protagonist worked part-time.

"Hahaha!"

The audience was amused again by the big black man in a ballet leotard, standing in front of the girls with an aggrieved face, practicing leg presses.

"The old bridge in the lotus in the water." Spike Lee, who has read countless films, complained again.

When the male protagonist sent the female protagonist home, the guarded eyes of the rich white neighbors made him even more regretful, "It shouldn't be taken in one stroke, there are many things that can be dug deeper."

Harry secretly rolled his eyes.

The male protagonist who was accepted by the female protagonist went to the female principal, but the other party still saw through him, "Nothing will be easy to succeed, you have not proved your ability to deal with setbacks." She said.

Then the hero gave up for the second time, because the heroine's original dance partner returned from injury.

And the heroine's boyish boyfriend was also dumped by the heroine for stealing songs, and the heroine's dance career and relationship were entangled again. After the heroine's dance partner's old injury relapsed, and the chubby guy was shot dead by the other party for offending PJ, the hero finally After learning from the pain, I rushed to the scene at the last moment before the heroine reported the performance, and helped her complete the perfect performance.

The male second in the auditorium was deeply moved after watching the performance, so he also began to strive for a trial opportunity for the Chicago White Sox.

"Have you found it? The one in the back row is Mariah Carey." The female audience at the back chatted in a low voice, and it should have been done twice or three times, "Yes, it's her." They were very excited when they finally found the easter egg.

The movie ends in the affectionate embrace of the hero and heroine.

"The heroine's name is Amy Adams, right? The dance is not very good, but the performance is quite spiritual." Spike Lee stood up and applauded with everyone along with the ending song.

"What's Woody Allen's opinion?" Song Ya asked Stan Blakhey.

"He's not interested in this kind of movie."

Stan Blakhetch smiled and said, "I finally pulled him over."

"All right……"

Early the next morning, Linda put the first weekend box office calculated by Universal on the bedside, 9.3 million, ahead of the Baseball Angels' 8.5 million, and ranked fourth that weekend. In the off-season, it would be the box office champion of the week, but now it is the summer season, and there are three big mountains in front of it in order: True Lies, Forrest Gump and The Lion King.

"Sixth in speed of life and death, ninth in Phantom, and eleventh in the Modern Stone family."

Yeremov faced the report card with Song Ya over the phone, "If nothing else, our box office in the first week can get more than 15 million, and next week we will face Warner, Paramount and Columbia Pictures. In the competition for the launch of the three blockbuster films, among them Warner's client has a lot of voices..."

"I heard it's a legal thriller?" Song Ya asked.

"Yes, it doesn't have a high degree of overlap with our audience."

Yeremov replied excitedly, "Boss, we should be successful!"
