"The Sunshine Man" and "July in Florence" were both about two and a half hours long, and there were only ten or twenty minutes left, but William Jones and Bent Afflett could hardly sit still in the cinema.
They had already watched the film countless times. During the whole screening process, their attention was not on the screen. Instead, they lowered their heads and played with their phones, watching the limelight on social media.
The decline at the premiere was irreversible, but in the hearts of the two strongest Oscar contenders, it was not important at all.
They cared more about the reputation and box office performance of Women.
Although they didn't take Women seriously before, the sudden change at the premiere left a lingering shadow in the hearts of all the people in the two production teams.
Although they did not want to admit it, they were worried that they could not control it.
At 8: 10 PM, the first report about the reputation of the premiere of Women finally appeared, which made the eyelids of the two crew members, especially the two male leads, twitch violently.
[Horrible reviews. How amazing was the premiere of 'Women'?]
William and Bent unanimously rejected this headline, which was obviously written by someone Chen Guang had paid someone to write. They even refused to provide even one click for it.
At 8: 13 PM, the second report appeared.
It was from Damon, a well-known reporter from the Washington Post. He had previously been a staunch hater of Chen Guang and had even asked the art director of Sunshine for an interview. He was acquainted with the two crew members.
Damon's headline was, "The Ghost Filmmaker from the East? He has utterly conquered John Heenan! "
The crew members of the two crew members, who had come for the Olympic film, could not sit still anymore. A small number of them chose to click on it to see what was going on.
Both Damon and Heenan were celebrities that could not be ignored.
Two minutes later, the person who clicked on it extracted the content of the article and shared it with the people around him.
The atmosphere of panic gradually brewed and spread in the two premiere theaters.
At the same time, the third and the fourth …
More and more reports appeared in the media and social networks. The influence of the premiere of Women, which had already caused a certain amount of popularity, was superimposed.
It gradually became a torrent, as if it was going to sweep the entire Internet.
In the end, William Jones couldn't help but click on an article written by Gay, a reporter from Pan American Entertainment.
The title of the article was "The Huaxia Movie Changed Madame Joshtam. Will Donald Joshtam be redeemed or will he be subjected to more brutal violence?"
This kid named Guy was actually William Jones' high school classmate. The two of them had always been on good terms.
Guy also knew where he stood.
William Jones couldn't accept the fact that his classmate had started to speak up for Chen Guang. He also had a strong desire to know what his classmate had written.
Then he almost jumped out of his chair in shock.
It was about the same on Bent Afflet's side.
Only a blind person could not see the craziness on the Internet.
At 8: 20 pm, "Sunshine" and "July" were about to play the most important ending of the entire movie, but the huge premiere theater was filled with whispers that couldn't be hidden.
The members of the media sitting in the back for the premiere couldn't help but whisper to each other even though they knew it was rude to talk in the cinema.
If it weren't for the publicity fees they received from the two film crews, these people would have rushed out.
A question mark as tall as the Statue of Liberty appeared in everyone's mind. What kind of movie did the Huaxia man make?
What kind of incredible movie gave him the confidence to spout nonsense like that?
What made the audience, both celebrities and ordinary people, go crazy?
What made Madame Joshtam instantly change as if she felt the call of the Lord?
Our premiere has completely turned into a farce.
Listening to the annoying buzzing in the theater, the same thought appeared in William Jones and Bent Afflet's minds. They were angry and helpless.
In the end, Donald Joshtam didn't escape. Instead, he took out the heart medicine and placed it on the desk. Then, he pretended to be in extreme pain and waited quietly in the study.
That's right, so I won't get beaten up.
Although Jenny has a bad temper, she still loves me.
Donald comforted himself.
At that moment, he was angry, confused, and panicked, but he was also extremely curious and regretful.
Damn it, I want to see the Huaxia man's' Women '.
If I had known earlier, I would have personally checked the digital source of the movie. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in the dark now.
Also, what exactly is written in the book in Jenny's hand?
The door creaked, and the heavy footsteps could be heard. It was Jenny coming up the stairs.
Donald calmed himself down and silently flipped open the Bible in his hand. He read aloud, "In the fourth chapter of Jonah, the Lord said, 'Is it reasonable for you to be angry?' The Lord is a gracious and merciful God. He does not get angry easily. Even if there is a disagreement, the servants of God should follow God's guidance and use a tolerant and merciful heart to accommodate all opposing opinions, whether it's your family, friends, or even strangers. Only when you are full of love can you have a pure life. "
"Donald, the Bible doesn't contain the nonsense you added at the end."
Jenny Joshtan stood in front of the study table and gently placed the first volume of Chen Guang's' World Faction 'on the table.
She admitted that she had the intention of twisting Donald's ear before entering the house. However, her old husband had even brought out the gospel of the Lord and filled the table with heart medicine. What else could she say?
Mrs. Joshtan, who suddenly understood her husband's pursuit in life, looked at her husband with a rare gentleness and love. Maybe it was because of the illumination of the orange table lamp in the middle of the night, or maybe it was because she was inspired by the gospel of the Bible.
Donald felt relieved. I've passed the dangerous test. Thank God.
"Jenny."
His voice was slightly trembling. He did not know if it was because he was touched or nervous.
Madame Joshtan sighed. "Donald, as you have said yourself, you also need a great and forgiving heart to be tolerant of others. You should really watch Chen Guang's movie. This is his book. I didn't read the content, but I'm sure you'll like it. "
Mrs. Joshtan pushed the first volume of 'World Faction' with Chen Guang's' handsome face 'on it forward slowly. It was placed in front of Donald, right next to the gold-rimmed Bible.
Donald keenly noticed that his wife had a religious devotion in her eyes when she looked at the book.
What the hell? This is too scary!
Did Jenny attend Mass for two hours in Theater 14?
He opened his mouth to speak, but Mrs. Joshtan had already turned to leave. "Remember not to read it too late. You have to sleep by 2 am at the latest. You can read the rest tomorrow. I think I'll have to prepare two sleeping pills for you. I've set the alarm clock. I'll wake up before 2 am. If you're not asleep, you're screwed. "
As the study room door closed, Donald lowered his head to look at 'World Faction' again. Alright, it's Chen Guang's face again.
This shameless Huaxia man's smile was so smug and sinister!
Donald looked up at the time. It was almost 10: 30 pm.
I wonder how the premieres of 'Sunshine' and 'July' are going?
They'll probably be in a mess, right?
I really shouldn't have left the theater. Now, as the person in charge of the Huaxia Theater, I don't even know anything.
Donald blamed himself as he casually flipped open 'World Faction Performing Arts'.
Great, I don't have to see that annoying guy's face anymore.
I don't believe you can write a useful book.
The difference between the Huaxia film industry and the Hollywood film industry is like a three-year-old standing next to Shaquille O 'Neal!
World Faction Performing Arts?
Are you kidding me?
I only know about Performance School, Experience School, and Method School. What the hell is World Faction?
Do you want to add another genre to the traditional three major performing genres?
Do you think you're Van Gogh or Picasso?
Can you be any more shameless?
Where did you find a ghostwriter?
How ignorant must you be to write such a book without any common sense?
Donald skipped the title page and went straight to the preface. He still had a mocking look on his face.
Although he had received a lot of feedback about 'Women', and even his wife, Jenny, had changed, Donald still didn't think that Chen Guang could come up with a valuable book.
Writing an academic book wasn't like telling a story. It had a high requirement for the author. Without years of experience, the book would only make people laugh.
Moreover, this was the first time that Chen Guang, a Chinese internet celebrity, got shocked. He didn't know where he got the courage to go straight for the Oscars. As for writing a book on performing arts, it was even more ridiculous.
Coupled with the name 'World Faction Performing Arts', it only proved how ignorant he was about the film industry and performing arts.
Hmph, the ignorant are fearless.
You don't understand why the film industry only has three specific systems after a hundred years of development.
With such thoughts in mind, Donard almost burst out laughing when he saw the first line of the preface.
"Some people might think that my World Faction Performing Arts is the fourth system after the first three, but you're all wrong. But you are all wrong. The cosmopolitan school is above all performing arts. It is the general principle of the entire performing arts system. In the future, all the classifications of performing arts will be built on the foundation of the cosmopolitan school, just like Newton's theorem for modern science. "
Donald almost broke down when he heard that.
