Chicago 1990

On the night of the 21st, the premiere of Xingmeng Tears was held in New York. Song Ya and Mariah Carey held hands like golden girls and greeted people with smiles at the entrance of the theater as the host of the ceremony.

"Is it cold? I asked Taraji to take a coat..." Song Ya waved to the two fans on one side and cared in a low voice.

"Now? Impossible!"

Beautiful and frozen in the cold wind, she decisively refused, "Don't think that it is one thing, you are just caring about the little things in my stomach?"

"What little thing, so ugly..."

The two were still complaining to each other for the last second, and the next second they smiled and embraced Spike who came to join him, "Thank you for coming to Spike, this is Director Ann Lee, right?" He and Spike together The elegant Chinese came to shake hands.

"Yes, we have worked together in 1983,'Joan's Barbershop'. At that time I was his classmate and photography assistant." Ann Li smiled.

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

It seems that the two have a good relationship. Now Ann Lee has a higher achievement than Spike Lee in all aspects. After all, even Hollywood is willing to give him the guide to the masterpiece of reason and emotion. The first half of the 1990s The father's trilogy, pushing hands, wedding banquets, and food and beverages are all top-notch artistic achievements and awards.

His reason and emotion have also begun to paint, and he has taken the number of award-winning art films. In the past few weeks, the full-meter theater line has been firmly suppressed in 70. The reputation and box office of the single library are very good, and the stamina will be very sufficient.

And Ann Lee can speak Mandarin, but Wanwan seems to be called Mandarin? I can talk to myself better than Stanley Don.

"I like your movie very much. Have a chance to cooperate next time?"

"for sure."

The two talked for a long time. Mariah Carey didn’t understand at all but couldn’t prevent her from staring at Ann Li, her eyes lighted up, “Can you get him to work with me next time? Is it because someone like him wins the prize? It's as simple as eating and drinking? Very good at supporting actresses?" When the two'Li' directors walked into the theater, she had another idea.

"For acting."

"Ok!?"

"I have a chance, I have a chance, I want to see if I can cheat... Ah no, can I make an appointment to his schedule." Song Ya casually dealt with, and then diverted his attention according to her experience in dealing with her, "After tonight, The film review of Xingmeng Tears was lifted. You have to be psychologically prepared for tomorrow's media reaction."

"Humph, I know."

With the deepening of the screening, she now knows the true level of Xingmeng's tears. How could she change the premiere location back to New York and increase her publicity to the black community? He doesn't admit it, but in order not to lose to Whitney Houston at the box office, it is too ugly, we must respect the objective facts and adjust the corresponding countermeasures.

Now her template for Xingmeng’s tears is the ‘block boy’, expecting her and Patilla Belle two generations of African-American diva to play mother-daughter gimmicks in the movie, marketing to the black community and please.

Song Ya personally feels that this goal is also a bit whimsical. She overestimated her influence on urban blacks. After all, the main audience of her previous adult ballads was still whites.

"Huh? Mariah Carey is of African descent?"

After the grand premiere, she took the stage to conduct live interviews with the male protagonist Jude Law and the director and others. Song Ya stayed alone in the audience, and a question from a middle-aged white man in the back row came to her ears in a strange tone.

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

"It's just a movie," said the middle-aged white friend.

"Autobiographical film." The middle-aged white retorted.

"Uh...that might be mixed." His friend was also unsure.

When I was invited to the premiere, the voices of conversations could reach my ears by New York celebrities, and even some people in this group could not figure it out. It was a good explanation.

Celebrities always pay attention to how the gossip media talk about themselves, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that most people’s opinion is. 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 the stage, and she said endlessly about which movie plots were and when, and what was the name of a character in the film at that time. It's the premiere ceremony, "Come up, come up!" She called an old friend to the stage loudly, asking them to tell how difficult she was and how she worked hard in singing.

The old friend praised and said, ‘I knew Maria would become a superstar since then’, and made her laugh on the stage.

‘Whitney Houston once again dedicated his incomparably natural acting skills when he was waking up from his dream, which was much better than that of bodyguards. The movie used all-African actors, which marked a major social change. ’

'Although the plot is full of escapism fantasy when I wake up from the dream, it still gives the female audience a lot of room to think, \'How should I face the problems she encountered\', and from the car, the house, the wardrobe , Men, even wrong men, come to enjoy all the good and bad things in life. ’

‘Waiting for the awakening of dreams is a perfect example of African American women in exploring real interpersonal problems! ’

In the early morning of the next day, the film reviews were released. She was unsurprisingly lost to Whitney Houston. The film critics praised her when she woke up. At least 80% of them were praised, and the tears of Xingmeng was almost the opposite. Come here...

‘We’re honored to witness another diva candidate for the Golden Raspberry Awards next year, Mariah Carey, whose performance in the tears of the movie star dream is disastrous. ’

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

‘The inherent clichés of the singer’s autobiographical movies are kitsch, busy, for the sake of a grand song and dance scene, forcibly stuffed in some mechanically hilarious plots. ’

‘Not in the first half, but not bad in the second half, because Mariah Carey travels less and less in the film. ’

‘Rookie director Steve Ron Mitchell’s narrative ability has a big problem, but the screen and editing are well controlled. ’

'Jude Law's related plot has been cut to pieces. In addition to his handsome hero, his performance and behavior logic feel strange. It is hard to imagine that he just won the best newcomer of Lawrence Oliver the year before. Award, the new British star’s Hollywood road was hit head-on. ’

The film critics who had been in public relations before shrank, and played dead if they said two good things to a high score.

"Aung Aung Aung!" She was so angry that she burst into tears on the phone.

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

Song Ya secretly poked and felt funny. If it weren't for fear that the pregnant woman's spirit would be hit, he even wanted to say a few cool words, making you stubborn not to listen to me.

"You should persuade me at that time!" She began to shake the pot unreasonably, "Scumbag!"

"It's boring to say this, mimi, we didn't quarrel less about this before, who told you..."

"Aung Aung Aung!"

"Okay, don't cry, let everything go, try your best to do what you should do, at least let your debut not lose money. Adjust your mood, don't look at the nonsense of those film critics, they don't understand you at all. I think. Thinking of your music career, is Whitney overpowering now? Onesweetday is still winning consecutive championships, isn’t it? There are wins and losses, a tie, a tie..."

Song Ya coaxed a few words, feeling that she was still able to withstand it, so he hung up the phone while humming, "Taraji, how is the box office performance of Cat Mouse Game this week?"

"Due to the double attack of the brave game and the line of fire, and the return of resources to the new father-in-law of the 2 theaters, the decline is relatively large."

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

"Wow, that Christmas holiday is not easy."

Next week, a large number of films, including when they wake up from the dream and the tears of the star dream, will be released together, and the pressure of competition will be even greater. Of course, Song Ya doesn't care about it anymore. Cat and mouse games will definitely make money. It's just a matter of making more and less. The number of viewers during the Christmas holiday will also increase significantly.

"The good news is that Bowei Pictures agreed to the long-term screening plan submitted by Mr. Linton and us." Taraji said: "They also think we can achieve some results during the awards season."

"of course."

The end of the year is the day when film critics’ associations, actors’ unions and other organizations all over the country give out awards. The Cat and Mouse Game performed well. John Malkovich has won many nominations and awards for best actor, including the Chicago Film Critics Association. The second in number is the best film score jointly created by himself and the soundtrack, and the third is the best adapted screenplay award for screenwriters such as himself and former well-known talk show host Johnny Carson and Kunes.

The male protagonists Jared Leto and Amy Adams won some small performance awards for young people, and Ashley Judd won sporadic female supporting awards. It should be Harvey Weinstein who helped public relations.

Therefore, the PR focus of the award should be the best actor, the best soundtrack and the best adapted screenplay. Others are not competitive. After all, the director Ridley Scott is still angry. Now that the box office is so good, he...maybe more Are you angry...

"Regardless of this, I have my business."

In addition to accompany Mariah Carey in the promotion mission, Song Ya also took advantage of the opportunity to return to Chicago to reunite at Christmas and reprimand Tony and Connie, especially Connie.

Tony is rough and fine. Don’t look at the usual mouths. He really doesn’t reveal too many things about him to his ex-girlfriends who only want to play. Connie is much stupid in her life, and she has a lot of emotions. More serious, although it does not affect the men around her to change frequently.

"Your taste is still concentrated on the dancers?" Song Ya took the opportunity to tease her when a large family was sitting at the dinner table.

"Yeah." Connie also admitted that her boyfriend has changed from white to black, thin to strong, "Sorry, I didn't know that guy would say bad things about you to the media." She asked carefully: "You will not treat him..."

"Humph." Song Ya hummed twice with nostrils. "Not for the time being."

On Christmas Day in 1995, everyone at the table could not let go except Aunt Susie. Song Ya felt that they were all observing themselves, including Little Emily, "What task did Matthew Norris arrange for you?" "

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

"Is foxybrown reunited with you?" Song Ya asked.

"I just joined together, she can't understand that Beyoncé always looks like a princess, I feel like I can watch it." Emily seemed a little gloating.

"Really? What about her to you?"

Song Ya didn't expect this to happen, but now it's a bit wrong to think about it as a street girl for the Destiny Lady, "You should act as a team glue."

"We have a good relationship," Emily replied.

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded, "foxybrown is more popular than you, and has more experience, and she was born on the street. Don't let her bully the four girls. She will release her first album next year, and she won't spend much time with you. , Let's run in for now."

"It doesn't always matter who bullies, Beyonce is the boss's daughter." Emily curled her lips.

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

After Song Ya finished speaking, I feel how the interpersonal relationship of this team is so complicated by me?

"You have the final say~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Emily is in a rebellious period, and she doesn't want to talk more about her with'soul'.

"Where is Mimi? Don't you even spend Christmas this year? I still want to teach her some baby-bearing experience." Aunt Susie asked.

"She is very busy. She wants to promote the movie and hit the charts."

Song Ya hasn't told them about his divorce, "I have to run a business show at Christmas. It's very hard and very hard."

"Her movie is not bad, I think it is good." Connie said: "I have brought my little sister to support it several times."

"Me too, I and Beyoncé both like it." Emily echoed, "Is the story between her and Jude Law true? Did she really have such a boyfriend before she became famous?"

"It's my shit..." Song Ya was too lazy to explain.

"Will your boss who discriminated against nger step down?" Tony asked suddenly, "I remember your relationship was not good before."

"He's a **** my boss."
