Ronald wore one of his best formal coats and arrived at the Ziegfeld Theater. All he got was an invitation to the premiere, which was sent to him by the famous producer David da Silva. Producer
People have not forgotten his ability to do things, and the letter attached to the invitation invites him to talk about the filming of the spin-off TV series at the premiere.
Director Alan Parker seemed to have forgotten about him and did not give him an invitation letter. Originally, Antonia wanted to give him one. Antonia's nominal caregiver mother was nowhere to be found, and she only lived with her brothers. She only got a few invitations.
There is no one to send the letter to.
Ronald looked around. The Ziegfeld Theater is the largest theater in New York. The cube theater is on the second floor, with an open space supported by pillars below. Many journalists and TV reporters are nervously waiting for interview opportunities.
Antonia took Ronald's arm. No one knew this girl. She was one of the heroines of "Famous" who was about to premiere. Reporters were surrounding director Alan Parker to listen to him talk about the movie in Los Angeles.
The sensational response caused during the internal test screening.
"Alan, I heard that after your test screening in Los Angeles, the audience applauded for more than ten minutes for a long time? Can you talk about what you think? Do you expect to get the same treatment from the audience in New York?"
"It was an internal test screening, open to friends in the film industry and entertainment reporters. Barbra Streisand liked the movie very much, so she took the lead in applauding after the screening. She told me that Maureen Tiffey played a lot of roles.
Liz is a reflection of herself when she was young."
Allen Parker did not forget to bring the topic to Maureen Tiffey, who was beside him. He wanted the reporter to also mention his female companion in the report.
"Mr. Parker, what are your predictions for this film's prospects at next year's Oscars? Critics in Los Angeles generally responded that Famous deserves a Best Picture nomination."
"I respect the Academy very much. There is such a voice, which shows that my film has been loved by critics. Whether it will be nominated in the end depends on the attitude of the Academy Awards judges."
“What are your predictions for this year’s Oscars?”
"I loved Dustin Hoffman and Mel Streep's 'The Kramers,' their performances were top-notch."
"Alan, when will your new movie premiere in London?"
This is a gossip reporter from his hometown. Allen did not dare to neglect, "It will be later than America. I will inform everyone then..."
Ronald and Antonia walked into the Ziegfeld Theatre, which is a super large single-room theater that can accommodate more than 1,200 audiences. It is divided into two areas, front and rear, separated by an aisle in the middle.
Antonia is the official starring role and has her own place in the front three rows. Erin Kara, who plays CoCo, and Gene Ray, who plays Leroy, also came together. Antonia went to chat with them about their respective situations after separation.
.
Ronald's invitation was from a relatively low-ranking relative. After greeting Jean and Irene, he was not in a hurry to sit down and looked around for acquaintances.
"Michael, it's so nice to see you."
"Ronald! You haven't heard the two interludes you composed, have you? The effect is very good."
The film's score and interlude composer, Michael Gore, was delighted to meet Ronald. Two of his interludes have received critical acclaim from directors and producers alike, and vocalist Erin Cara is already preparing to release a single
And the album. Just wait for it to hit the charts after its official premiere.
"This time we used digital recording technology, directly using digital sampling method to record two channels, and then transcribed it to film. It is faster and easier to process than the original analog recording method. In the first two weeks,
I'm still working on the soundtrack for 70mm film. If I had used old analog recording, I might not have been able to make it in time for today's premiere."
The screen of the Ziegfeld Theater is 20 feet high (6 meters) and 52 feet wide (16 meters). For such a large screen, the effect of using 35mm film is not good, so the producer specially made a 70mm film copy.
Specially available at the Ziegfeld Theater and the Los Angeles Cinerama Dome.
Ronald looked at the very long rows of seats in the Grand Theater and felt a strange sense of intimacy in his heart. To sit in the middle seat, you have to apologize repeatedly before you can move in and out slowly. It seems that only such seats are available.
It is qualified to be called a movie theater, and everything else can only be called a movie hall.
"Hi, Ronnie, you're here. It's so nice to see you." Producer David da Silva still has his iconic mustache, but he hasn't seen him for a few months, and his career has grown rapidly again.
Sign of moving backwards.
"Me too, Mr. da Silva." Ronald hugged him.
"Call me David. Did you hear that? Gene and Erin Cara have agreed to star in the spin-off TV series, which we will air on TV stations in Los Angeles and New York." David da Silva pointed to the conversation with Anthony.
Ya Chat with its two black leads.
"You have to help me lobby Antonia again. The movie was screened internally in Los Angeles and Chicago and the response was very good. People from the TV station have watched it and are very confident about the TV series. You also want Antonia in New York? We will meet in
Shooting in a studio in New York.”
"You know, David, Antonia has her own career pursuits, and I can't force her." Ronald showed a wry smile. It would be great if Antonia could give up ballet and enter film and television.
"That's such a shame, but Antonia will also be famous in ballet. I heard she was signed by the New York City Ballet?"
"Yes, and the American Ballet Company also wants to sign her."
"Seriously, how about you help me? Ronnie." Seeing that he couldn't persuade Antonia, da Silva came up with Ronald's idea again.
"I need an on-set director, and I also need someone who can control Gene Ray. TV dramas are different from movies, and the shooting period is limited. You can help me a lot, and when you become familiar with the production process, I can also let you direct independently.
One episode.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Thank you for your kindness, David. My editing class teacher has given me an ultimatum. I must go to class, otherwise no matter how good my homework scores are, I will not be able to do it."
I can’t pass either. The courses at Tisch College are still very tight and I can’t spare the time.”
Ronald used classes to ward off David da Silva's invitation.
"I heard that your test screening in Los Angeles was very successful?" Ronald asked about the prospects of the movie, "Do you hope to get an Oscar nomination next year?"
"Of course there is," David da Silva smiled proudly. "If the box office and critical response are good, MGM will agree to win three awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor."
Focus on public relations for each award."
The PR for Best Supporting Actor was for Barry Miller's character Ralph Garcia. During the filming of the movie, he wanted to pick up Maureen Tiffey, but was slapped awake by director Alan Parker.
He accidentally performed the crying scene. The critics who attended the preview in Los Angeles all liked his performance.
"Okay, keep up the hard work, Ronnie. I have to go outside. I heard Brooke Shields is coming soon. She is a celebrity right now."
David da Silva quickly walked out of the theater door. In the open space at the door on the first floor, a young actress was surrounded by many reporters.
"Diane! Do you like the works directed by Alan Parker?"
"Yes, I like it very much, but many of his movies are R-rated, so I can only come with my dad." Diane Lane pointed to her father Bert beside her, and the reporters burst into laughter, and the headlines were
With "Diane Lane invited her father to accompany her to watch an Alan Parker movie."
"Diane, do you have any plans for a new movie?"
"Not yet, do you have an introduction?" Diane replied to the reporter with a smile.
There was another burst of laughter.
"Miss Lane, your debut film was with the British actor Sir Laurence Olivier, and you also like Alan Parker's movies very much. Will you continue to star in British movies in the future?"
"Of course, if there is a good script and director, I don't mind who the producer is. Even if it's a Japanese movie or a Chinese movie, it's fine."
"Hahaha……"
Diane Lane was born as a child star. She participated in Off-Broadway plays and toured the world at the age of five or six. She has already developed her ability to deal with reporters.
"Brooke Shields is here!"
Someone shouted something, and the reporters suddenly ran away and rushed to interview her.
Diane's expression remained unchanged, but her inner mood was already very bad. Her father, Bert, also patted her arm to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Brooke just likes to be in the limelight. This time we are all hired by MGM as foils. In order to become famous all over the world, she won't have many scenes on TV."
The speaker was Christopher Atkins, the star of The Blue Lagoon, who was also attending the premiere of Famous.
"Hello, Mr. Burt, I'm Chris Atkins." He introduced himself to Burt.
Bert knew that he was the leading actor in "Blue Coral Reef" and judging from his popularity, Coral Reef's box office success would be as good as today's. He quickly stepped forward to say hello.
"Do you need to be naked when filming in Fiji?" Diane Lane and Atkins walked into the theater and began to inquire about the crew of The Blue Coral Reef.
"No, Brooke doesn't need it. She has two stand-ins to shoot those scenes. Her dressing room will process her wig every morning and attach it to her bra. In fact, it is very safe during the filming." Atkins
answer.
"So you...?" Diane Lane heard what he meant.
"You can watch the movie then." Atkins smiled. The recent test screening of Blue Coral Reef turned out well, and many girls in the industry would take the initiative to talk to him.
"I really envy Brooke because she can go to a tropical island to film. I filmed a western in Mexico and it was very hard."
"Really? My agent is choosing my next film. It will be a story about child marriage among the Mormon fundamentalists. In the end, the hero and heroine will run away together. It will be a love and romance story with a happy ending. Then you will
You can come and try.”
"Really? What's your name?"
"Child Bride of Short Creek".
"I don't know if there are some unsuitable plots. My father doesn't allow me to take certain roles."
"Don't you know that minors over the age of 15 can declare themselves independent by publishing in the newspaper? As long as you can find an adult to be your guardian."
"Really?" Diane glanced at her father Bert, who was dragging behind to chat with the famous producer David DaSilva, and took the news to heart.
