Chapter 590: The reputation has soared after the premiere
After the premiere in Los Angeles, local newspapers praised the film, especially the red ribbon at the premiere and the presence of many celebrities supporting Elizabeth Taylor. It was in line with the demands of the Donkey Party. In the Los Angeles Times, it was actually
It jumped out of the entertainment section and became front-page news.
This made TriStar Pictures so happy that they expanded the scale of the premiere in New York overnight and invited all the celebrities they could mobilize in an attempt to arouse a wave of enthusiasm in New York, the base camp of American media.
The marketing strategy of "Philadelphia Story" follows a typical award-winning process. It will be screened on a small scale at the end of the year, and then cooperate with the media hype to attract the enthusiasm of many potential audiences. However, the scale of the screening is limited to
Limited theaters in New York and Los Angeles.
In this process, the audience for watching movies is limited to enthusiasts composed of celebrities, senior movie fans, etc. This has two advantages. First, the audience will be those who are particularly interested in this type of movies, and the reputation will be very good.
.Secondly, because the number of movie viewings is limited and all tickets are sold out, there can be a good number of upwards of US$30,000 for a single theater weekend.
"Ronald..." A model-looking woman with neat bangs and shoulder-length classical Hollywood female star hairstyle, wearing a brown corduroy dress and a very elegant woman with every gesture, walked over and hugged her.
He looked at Ronald and gave him a kiss.
"Christie, long time no see..." Ronald, wearing a black knee-length navy blue coat, also came here to stand in person.
Here is Christie Turlington, who is currently developing a very good career as a model in New York. She dated the multi-millionaire actor Roger Wilson for a while, and she recently broke up with her boyfriend, so she was also invited to attend.
premiere. It marked her reappearance on the social scene in New York and Los Angeles, signaling that I was now single again.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Turlington wiped the lipstick on the corner of Ronald's mouth and put on a very sweet smile.
"Keep smiling..." Ronald also smiled and weakly hugged Christie Turlington's waist, posing for the camera. The handsome man and beauty instantly attracted many photographers.
For the sake of the movie, Ronald also took the initiative and consciously stood up and became a prop for taking photos. He would not refuse anyone who wanted to be in the news and fulfilled the photo requirements one by one.
This is also because Helen Slater is also attending the premiere today, and it would be too conspicuous to take a photo with her alone in the newspaper. In order to prevent Helen and Diane from feeling left out and losing their temper.
, he had no choice but to sacrifice his appearance. Today, he even hugged Shirley MacLean, who lives in New York, and took a few photos that looked like a couple.
"Seriously, it's been a long time since we last met..." Christy Turlington also wanted to test whether Ronald was interested in continuing their relationship.
"It's been a long time indeed. Are you really interested in turning to film career?"
Since the filming of "Street Fighter", Ronald has not heard that Christy Turlington wants to enter the movie. Her appearance is based on her temperament. In the eyes of male audiences, she is indeed not as good as Cindy Crawford.
She is more beautiful and charming, so not many people want to invest in her in movies, unless they have other ideas about her as a person.
"Oh, I've already tried it. It's not my way at all." Christie Turlington seemed to be under a lot of pressure. This time Ronald gave her a chance to return to the social circle. She was a little nervous, although her appearance just now was perfect.
, but Ronald made it clear that he had no intention of continuing with his regular temporary girlfriend, so he became anxious. She quickly found a place with the reporter on her back, took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, and lit it.
Then I started smoking.
"Hey, e On, you have to stop and smoke at the premiere of a movie about...? I have a group here that is against smoking in movies..." Ronald went over and said half-jokingly
There was dissatisfaction. Because this movie is a rare one that cares for... people, many groups that care for other diseases also came to support it.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm very stressed right now..." Christy Turlington quickly threw the cigarette to the ground, stamped it out, and waved her hand as if to blow away the smell of smoke in the air. "Now my model
Career is also quite stressful. You see, she is the popular model now, and I’m a little out of date.”
"Nonsense, you will always be one of the best models in America in my heart. No, why do the modeling circles like such models now?"
Ronald looked up and saw that Turlington was talking about another very popular model in recent years, Kate Moss. She was wearing a windbreaker, blond curly hair, and long black stockings, which matched perfectly.
A pair of white high-heeled sandals attracted reporters and the audience to stare at her legs.
Ronald can see it very clearly from a distance. Kate Moss has high cheekbones, deep cheeks, and two protruding front teeth with gaps. How can you say that? Although Moss is also as eye-catching as a runway model
He has the characteristic of never forgetting, and his whole body exudes a unique temperament, but this kind of temperament is not what Ronald appreciates.
Entering the 1990s, the standards of healthy, upwardly mobile, and well-figured models seem to be gradually developing in the direction of Kate Moss's decadent, flat-chested, and seemingly slovenly (actually well-groomed) model, which is completely different from Ronald's.
An old-fashioned aesthetic.
Looking back at Christie Turlington, Ronald still felt that such a woman was in line with his aesthetics.
"Ronald..." Of course Turlington noticed that look, and she immediately came up with a smile on her face.
"I'm telling you, you have to quit smoking and stop losing weight. I'll let Richard help you find a way. However, the aesthetics in Japan and Xiangjiang are still stuck in America in the 1980s. If you can...
…”
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course, I will start to quit smoking today..." Turlington immediately threw away the cigarette box. It turned out that Ronald liked his past self, so...
It's easy to handle, "I'm practicing yoga every day now, and I'll be able to recover soon. The aesthetic changes of those designers are driving us crazy..."
"Don't worry, I'll see you next time..." Ronald wrote down this matter. Among his old connections, there are actually some people who admire beauties from America. It's not a big problem to promote such beauties.
It was very cold outside the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. Unlike the warm climate of Los Angeles, where you can go out just by wearing a suit, New York is very cold in winter. The models also had to wear thick clothes. Ronald asked Turlington to hurry in.
, tightened his windbreaker and continued to the door to take photos with the beauties.
Different from the relaxed look in Los Angeles a few days ago, Tom Hanks wore a thick white scarf, Denzel Washington wore a cashmere coat, and his wife Pauletta was even more exaggerated, wearing a mink coat that looked bright.
Eyes on the whole scene.
"Good guy, don't let those environmentalists see you." Ronald was also sweating. These black celebrities may be afraid of the cold or have backward aesthetics, so they like to appear in mink.
"Ronald!"
"gold!"
Another acquaintance of Ronald's is Kim Cattrall. She came with her new boyfriend, a musician. The clothes these two wore were more in line with the tastes of New York's upper class. They wore coats no matter how cold the weather was.
It is convenient to take off after entering a mansion with full heating.
"This is my friend, Anton Sanko, Anton Ronald." Kim Carrotel doesn't have many good movies to shoot now, so she came to the premiere entirely because Ronald was coming. As for
This poor "friend" has not yet figured out whether he is a boyfriend or a friend.
"Anton, it's nice to meet you. Thank you and Jin for coming to support us. Sorry, I have to borrow your money for a short while. The reporters know that we have cooperated and have to take some photos for the occasion..."
Ronald put his arm around Kim Cattrall's waist and took a few photos. Then he pulled the musician who looked like a Russian and said, "Friends, this is my friend Anton. Anton is a rising star in New York.
Music producer who started..."
Although there were more than half the reporters taking photos of Anton and Kim compared to the Ronald-Kim couple just now, Anton, who had just entered the New York social circle, was still very excited. After taking the photo, he pulled Ronald's hand one after another.
hands showing thanks.
"Is there any role?" Kim Cattrall still took the opportunity of taking a photo to pinch Ronald's butt quietly and asked softly in his ear.
"Call my agent Richard." Ronald replied softly in his ear. This woman was so bold, and her boyfriend was right next to her, and she was flirting so nakedly in public.
"Winona, Winona..."
The two people had just been sent in, and the reporter over there saw big-name celebrities arriving one after another.
Winona Ryder has been having a hard time recently. She just broke up with her ex-boyfriend Johnny Depp in a high-profile manner. The next film she was scheduled to win was "Shattered Dreams", which was an award-winning film, but it ended without any illness due to the death of the leading actor River Phoenix.
In order to maintain high exposure, she also participated in the MV shooting of the popular rock band "Soul Asylum" and dated band member David Pirner. She also came to the premiere with him this time.
.
Ronald stayed away from this eccentric female star, took a photo and invited them in. He stamped his feet on the cold winter night, and breathed a cold breath in the air. The photo session was almost over, why hasn't Helen come yet?
.
"Helen..." Finally, when a group of reporters were about to collect their cameras, Helen Slater, wearing a black coat, hurried over.
Ronald took a look and saw that Helen's hair had not been taken care of well. He used a quick hair twister to twist it on her head, and there was still a lot of hair sticking out in all directions, making it a mess.
Fortunately, she is naturally beautiful, and she is very photogenic even without heavy makeup. Her hair still looks like Meg Ryan in a romance movie, so the photographers unscrewed the lids and started taking pictures.
"Helen, this is for you..." Ronald naturally took a photo with Helen Slater while giving her a red ribbon.
"I've been playing with Linda for too long and I almost didn't catch up." Helen said with a smile as she walked away. Now that she has developed a strong maternal instinct, she actually doesn't value such occasions where celebrities appear so much.
"Slow down..." Ronald pinned the red ribbon to her.
"I heard that you were the instigator of the commander-in-chief's new policy?" In the dark cinema, Helen touched Ronald's collar and asked. She liked to hear this kind of thing the most.
"Oh, Helen, how do I have the ability to influence policy? The most I can do is give the commander-in-chief inspiration for a slogan."
"Really, I like how humble you are. It has spread in my mother's circle. Those... people and minority groups are very grateful to you. They are scolding Larry from Los Angeles in the circle.
Cramer, said he was being expelled from several minority institutions."
"I'm a filmmaker, not a politician..." Ronald refused to admit it.
"Well, yes, yes..." Helen pursed her lips and smiled. Ronnie was really funny. He would not take credit for things he had no intention of promoting. However, those groups in New York and even the East Coast were all well-informed and had the same understanding as Donkey.
There is a lot of collusion among the upper echelons of the party. Anyway, in their minds, Ronald has been on par with David Geffen and has jointly become the biggest contributor to the equal status of minority groups. And... among the patients and family members, his reputation is also
It was so good that we all agreed to watch the movie together in a private room after it was released for screening.
"Oh, is this true?" Helen asked with tears in her eyes, holding Ronald's arm.
After the movie was screened, the lights were not turned on immediately, but subtitles continued to appear. On them were dedicated to the names of several extras who unfortunately passed away during and after the filming of this movie. They did not care about their own health just to be here.
The movie shows the real... people and dispels ordinary people's misunderstandings about them.
"It's all true. They really burn their lives to fight for something for their companions..."
"Oh, this is really heartbreaking. I was a little moved by those old Hollywood movies I watched when I was a kid." Helen quietly wiped away her tears. Jonathan Demme's editing was very smooth and just the right amount of sensationalism, making people sad but not sad.
That kind of tear-jerking cry makes people have greater sympathy for these unfortunate people.
Because these people are not miserable or pitiful, but ordinary people like everyone else, living in ups and downs. Instead, the protagonist Andy found the greatest luck in life amidst misfortune, the lover who accompanied him to the end.
and understanding family members, and the justice found in court.

"It was a groundbreaking work, just like 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' was the first big-budget movie about interracial marriage, it was also the first mainstream movie to reflect... Tom Hanks and
Antonio Banderas' chemistry is amazing, replicating his romantic character in 'Sleepless in Seattle'..."
The next day, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times unexpectedly gave the film three and a half stars (the highest score in the second category) and compared it to the film and television classic "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."
The movie's reputation is very helpful.
Film reviews from other media outlets have also come out one after another, generally with high scores. The most surprising one is the review from the Washington Post.
"This movie feels more like Frank Capra's best work than the current director's work. Not only is it smart, corny, and overtly patriotic, it's also compassionate, engaging, and emotionally heartbreaking. According to
According to the news from the White House, after watching this movie, the commander-in-chief was inspired and used clever methods to promote the don’t ask, don’t tell policy.”
"Haha, this is probably Commander William's reward." Ronald looked at the most influential newspaper in the Washington area and praised the movie very much. It seems that after the policy was passed, Commander William
His popularity rose, and he was happy to give himself a little sweetness.
