incredible.
It seems that when I wake up, my first movie is about to be released.
I originally thought that this day would have to wait at least two or three years.
It's a pity that my parents couldn't see it right away. On the East Coast, only New York has a theater showing it.
Fortunately, I sent the poster back early, as well as the clip he cut to deliver to the crew of "Back to the Future 2". I secretly made a copy, and seriously warned my parents in the letter not to send the video tape. Leaking it out, especially to prevent her sister from doing so. Jess is now at the age where she likes to show off, and she is still so restless.
After finishing work in the afternoon, I immediately left Warner Bros. Studios and drove back to West Hollywood.
Keanu was already waiting for him on Santa Monica Boulevard, cheering and accompanied by a group of men and women, very popular guys. Although he has many years of acting experience, "Run Lola Run" also happens to be Keanu's first theatrical film.
Of course, this guy's character is a bit too weak.
After everyone got to know each other, they rushed to a nearby cinema that they had inquired about in advance.
I don’t know if it was because it was Friday, but there were quite a few people gathered in the theater and there was a queue. Looking at the eye-catching "Run Lola Run" poster in the theater lobby, I silently prayed that these people were all watching my movie.
There were seven people in her group, so there was no need for them all to queue up, so she volunteered to grab the job. Mixed in the crowd, listening carefully to the names shouted by the people who bought tickets in front.
"Platoon", well, you know, it was also released by Orion.
"Run Lola Run", hehe, plus one.
"Run Lola Run", tsk, plus two.
"Over the Top", huh? I turned around and looked at the posters in the lobby, oh, Stallone's new movie, I can't compare to this one.
"Run Lola Run", ding, plus three.
"Black Widow", uh, spider
Soon she was in second place, and heard a middle-aged person with a boy in front of her say: "Miss, what is the rating of "Run Lola Run"?"
Suddenly he was in a daze.
By the way, why didn't you notice this? I quickly pricked up my ears.
The conductor also saw the boy in front of the window and replied: "Sir, it's R-rated, do you still need it?"
The middle-aged man suddenly hesitated.
Noticing his father's hesitation, the boy was very dissatisfied and said, "Dad, I'm not a child anymore."
The middle-aged man looked at his son and had no choice but to ask the conductor again: "Miss, do you think there is anything too inappropriate in this movie?"
But the conductor shook his head and said with a smile: "Sorry, sir, the movie was just released today, and I haven't watched it either."
She stood back and listened, her head a little confused.
How can it be rated R? Even if it can't be rated PG, PG-13 must be absolutely fine
Seeing that the father in front of me was still hesitating, I wanted to remind him directly that it would be okay, I can guarantee it. If you don’t believe me, look at my face.
After all, he didn't take the liberty to speak.
The father and son finally chose Stallone's "Over the Top".
So he stepped forward and asked, "Um, what is the rating of "To the Top"?"
In order to avoid being easily recognized and embarrassed, she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses today, the kind without lenses, and her hair had long been dyed back.
The conductor looked her over. Although she felt familiar, she didn't think much about it and politely replied: "Miss, it's PG-rated."
Sylvester Stallone's movie is rated PG, with all the flesh and blood, are you kidding me
Seeing that she was a little dazed, the conductor patiently said: "Miss, do you want it?"
Alright alright.
Who told us to have a short name
Arnold Schwarzenegger's next movie will definitely be G-rated.
She was complaining in her heart, but she still nodded and handed over a stack of small change in her hand: "Seven of them, the latest show of "Run Lola Run"."
This time, it was the conductor who was stunned for a moment, then looked down with a smile and checked, then looked up regretfully and said, "Sorry, miss, there are only 3 tickets left for the 6:20 show."
How come three is enough
She immediately asked: "When is the next show?"
The conductor checked again and said: "8:10."
Her eyes widened: "Why does it take so long?"
The conductor immediately replied this time: "Miss, there is only one screening room in our theater showing "Run Lola Run"."
She immediately became even more unhappy: "Since tickets are so easy to sell, why don't you increase the number of shows?"
The conductor still smiled politely and said: "Miss, this is not my decision. You can call our manager to report this matter."
I certainly will.
I muttered this in my mind and ran away from the team.
Hey, Keanu, you idiot, why are you in such a hurry to buy popcorn? Do you want to sit on the curb and watch the street scene
When they heard that the next show would have to wait until after eight o'clock, a group of young people left in a hurry. They changed to two movie theaters in a row and finally succeeded in buying seven tickets.
This is a large screening room with about 150 people. As soon as we entered, there was a buzz around us and there were so many people.
Seven people took the initiative to sit in the last row and waited patiently for a while. The last seats in the theater were also filled.
Immediately I became happy again.
However, considering the recent lively discussion in the media, this does not seem surprising at all.
Who doesn't want to see what kind of movie an 18-year-old 'madman' makes
Then I thought of him.
It's really surprising that he actually had such an experience. It's just that you don't see it at all on weekdays. He looks more normal than anyone else.
think carefully.
That's not right, he is completely abnormal.
No normal person could make a movie like "Run Lola Run" at such a young age.
Moreover, occasionally, you can really feel the alienation in his eyes towards people like me.
"He is a guy who is so proud that he no longer bothers to be proud. He is like a god from another world who suddenly came to earth to conquer the world."
Inexplicably, this sentence that his girlfriend Jenny said in the Los Angeles Times came to mind.
Tsk.
It's not that exaggerated.
Sure enough, people in love see each other as the best person in the world.
but.
Think about it carefully...
Um
Bah, bah, bah, I don’t think about it, I’m not his girlfriend.
Suddenly, I regretted not being able to go to Park City together. I heard that the place became very lively because of "Run Lola Run".
Thinking about this, he acted as if nothing had happened, chatting casually with Keanu and the others, as if he didn't care at all.
The lights in the screening room dimmed and everyone fell silent.
As usual, it starts with a pre-roll advertisement.
The subtitles are still there at the beginning, and it feels like they could be cut out, to make it mysterious. However, it seems that if you cut it off, you will really feel that something is missing.
Then.
The sound of the pendulum, the sound of the second hand, the sound of music, the sound of shouts... no longer gives people any time to think, it is a rapid and compact 80 minutes.
When the subtitles began to fall slowly, she looked around and saw that the screening room seemed to be filled with some inexplicable emotion.
who I am
where am I
What did I just see
Ha ha.
Then I started watching the subtitles with relish.
I didn't feel much about it when I was filming the movie. Now when I looked at the subtitles, I realized that he had been busy with so many things.
Until the lights came on, everyone in the hall seemed to still be immersed in the atmosphere just now.
Then.
The boy sitting on the other side of Keanu suddenly shouted loudly: "It's-so-facking-cool!!!"
Then he started clapping loudly.
What a shame.
Do you want to be so exaggerated
If someone finds out, he will be beaten.
However, the guy's shout seemed to ignite the atmosphere in the screening room.
Everyone gradually started to applaud.
Hua Hua Hua.
After being so lively for a while, everyone began to leave the venue with buzzing discussions.
Following the flow of people, I left the screening hall and stayed in the theater ticket hall for a while. I found that many people who had just come out together went to the ticket window again. The queue at the ticket window, which was originally small, suddenly formed a queue again.
Realizing something, I felt instantly satisfied.
When we left the theater, night had already fallen, and the streets of Los Angeles were already filled with neon lights.
Everyone went to dinner together, and even jokingly thanked the guy who just shouted out, but the other person said that he really thought it was very cool, and claimed that he would take the time to watch it twice.
Okay, now you're serious.
Then I thought about the rating again, and when I told everyone about it, I still felt it was unfair.
Everyone has basically been in Hollywood longer than her and knows more. After some discussion, she realized that the MPAA, which is responsible for movie ratings, is controlled by the seven major film companies, and those people often give Some independent producers' films have unreasonable ratings to suppress competitors.
This is certainly the case.
I heard that the seven major film companies are all interested in "Run Lola Run", but he handed over the distribution rights to Orion. It doesn't make sense if they don't suppress you.
only.
So unfair.
Then I thought about it. The three theaters showing "Run Lola Run" tonight were all full, and it seemed that it wasn't affected much.
Only then did I feel relieved a little.
I played with everyone until eleven o'clock in the night. I returned to the apartment and washed myself. I planned to take a rest, but suddenly I thought of him again.
I heard he ran away to Arizona.
Alas, it's a pity that I don't know the phone number, otherwise I would definitely call him to congratulate him at this time.
Of course, we must also condemn the MPAA's rating of "Lola Run".
We share the same hatred and hatred.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly couldn't sleep.
So I picked up the phone, sat on the sofa, and turned down the TV volume. Picking up the phone, I suddenly didn't know who to call.
My parents and friends on the east coast definitely can’t do that. There’s a three-hour time difference, and it’s already past two in the morning over there. Here in Los Angeles, I have made a lot of friends in the past six months, but not enough to talk on the phone late at night.
After hesitating for a moment, he accidentally dialed the number of his villa in Montana.
After a series of beeps, naturally no one answered, and then there was the tone of a phone message.
That's for sure.
However, in this case, I still started talking to myself: "Hi, Simon, I'm Sandy, and I went to see "Lola Run" with Keanu and the others tonight. There were so many people, and we went to three screening rooms I just found my seat. Also, do you know how the movie is rated? It’s rated R. I think a PG-13 rating is definitely fine.”
After talking for several minutes, he finally remembered the fact that he was not in Los Angeles, so he just finished talking to himself before putting down the phone.
Then I felt a little regretful.
How silly.
However, after making the phone call, the sleepiness that had disappeared suddenly returned.
who cares.
sleep.
Anyway, what did that say
Um.
tomorrow is a new day.
