Chapter 251. [When happiness knocks on the door]
When the calendar on the wall flips to October 13th.
In North America, the October file of 2000 is about to officially kick off.
And Dream Pictures, which has been prepared for this, also launched its premiere today.
The premiere of "The Queen" was scheduled on Broadway in New York.
Broadway, a very famous name, is generally an important venue for cabaret performances and American stage performances, but today it was chartered by Yi Feiyang as the premiere site.
Why should you choose such a place, according to Yi Feiyang's words, since it is a fashion movie, then it should be screened in the most fashionable location, and there is no doubt that Broadway is the most suitable place.
On a breezy night, the periphery of the Broadway Grand Theater has long been covered with red carpets. And countless fans and media reporters have long crowded the doors of this originally spacious theater, which is the premiere of "The Queen Wears Prada".
According to the past practice, before the premiere, Yi Feiyang had to cooperate with the main characters of the play to greet the guests in front of the red carpet.
Seeing the red carpet spread out in front of them for a long time, everyone is speculating, who will be the first to come and cheer?!
The horn of the car sounded, and the first big coffee is here!
"Ha, dear Yi, congratulations, congratulations on the premiere of your movie tonight!" With smooth otter-like hair, an incomparably bright smile, and a pair of triangular eyes squinting brightly, Yi Feiyang never thought that the first person who would come to cheer for his play turned out to be him-President of the North American Film Association, Abbas!
Yes. It was this person who was demolished by himself last time. Tickling guy who hates himself. But looking at the way he is smiling now, he doesn't look like his enemy, but like a close friend he hasn't seen for years.
This guy's acting skills are first-class!
Yi Feiyang sighed.
Although he didn't know why this Abbas suddenly came to cheer him up, Yi Feiyang's superficial work still had to be done, so he shook hands with Abbas cordially, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the premiere of my movie." ”
"It should. You're welcome! Ha Lu Ha! Abbas obviously took the smiling tiger route, with a spring breeze smile on his face, "Since you and I are both filmmakers, then everyone is in our own family!" Anyway, don't you help each other! ”
Yi Feiyang was speechless, what this guy said was so good, I didn't know what I said and really thought he was a good person who was selfless and selfless.
Seeing that Yi Feiyang and Abbas had such a harmonious relationship, those media couldn't help but roar, "Together!" Together! ”
What are you doing together?
Of course, it's not getting married, it's about taking pictures!
Helpless. Yi Feiyang had no choice but to stand side by side with Abbas and shake hands. Crackling, baptized by the spotlight.
Seeing that after taking the photo, Abbas did not leave immediately, but grabbed Yi Feiyang's position very painfully, faced the media, and began to express his feelings.
The content of his thoughts is nothing more than how hard the North American Film Association has worked, and how hard he has worked hard to make the audience watch good movies. In short, he has done enough to put gold on his face.
It wasn't until some reporters couldn't bear the loneliness and began to yawn that Abbas shut up and said, "Welcome everyone's supervision, we will work harder, thank you!" ”
Although the arrival of Abbas's uninvited guest was somewhat unexpected by Yi Feiyang, it still made the premiere scene a little more lively. Immediately afterwards, it was the black movie star Will Smith who Yi Feiyang had invited to say hello to the red carpet early in the morning.
Will Smith came with his wife, which not only made Yi Feiyang sigh that this black star is definitely a good husband, no matter where he is, he takes his wife with him.
As soon as Will Smith saw Yi Feiyang, he punched him and hit Yi Feiyang in the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You guy, what are you doing with that statement, restricting male audiences from watching, God, don't forget, I'm also a man!" ”
"Hehe, isn't it time to release the order, regardless of men and women, all are welcome!"
"Welcome what? No sincerity! Will feigned annoyance.
"Oh, so what does it mean to be sincere?" Yi Feiyang pretended to be confused.
"Needless to say, of course, help me write the script quickly!" Will urged, "You know, I've been resting for so long, and my acting skills are itchy, if I don't film again, I'll die in a hurry!" ”
"Ahem, man, then you have to take it easy, don't rush me every time we meet, I also have a lot of work to do, but I promise, the script will come out soon, well, and it's a good script!" Yi Feiyang swore and patted his chest to promise.
"There is no basis for what you say!" Will wasn't fooled, "It's best if you could tell me a little bit about the show first, yes, I should always know what role I'm going to play, right?" ”
Seeing that Will Smith was so tricky, he had to show his hand, Yi Feiyang was helpless, and looked at the dark horse prince in front of him and suddenly made another move, and said in his heart, there is!
"Hey, Will, since you have to reveal a little bit of information from me, then I can only talk about the content of this play......" Immediately after, Yi Feiyang said softly about the stock market of the play in his mind.
It is said that a single father was destitute and homeless due to career failure, but he still had to bear the burden of raising his son. Although he lived a poor, lonely and busy life, his strong sense of responsibility made him fight his spirit, muster up courage, reinvigorate himself for his son's future, and knock on opportunities everywhere. And the biggest motivation that supported him to grit his teeth in the process, in addition to his precious son, is that he always believes: as long as you work hard enough today, happiness will come tomorrow. This is the 'bitter and sweet' that has been spread in the rivers and lakes! ”
When Yi Feiyang finished telling this story, he looked at Will Smith again, his eyes were already shining, staring at Yi Feiyang with his clothes wanting to eat him.
"Ahem, dear Will. You look at me like that. will make my sister-in-law jealous. Yes, it's ambiguous! Yi Feiyang had to remind Wildo,
"Oh my God, what a great story! I've fallen in love with him just by listening to it, easy, quick, hurry up and write the script! By the way, what is the name of this play? Will asked impatiently.
"Oh. This play is called "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"! It's my original, how?! Yi Feiyang said with a thick face.
"What's that, it's amazing!"
Nonsense, can the Oscar excellent films in the previous life be great? Yi Feiyang said.
In fact, the play "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a typical American inspirational story. Adapted from a true story, the protagonist is Gardner, a black American investment expert.
As a single father, Gardner once faced a dilemma that he could not even solve with his own food and clothing. During the most difficult of times, Gardner had to carry the only possessions he had, and then went to the homeless shelter with his son in the diaper in one hand and a stroller in the other. When there is really nowhere to stay. Father and son can only spend the night in places like parks and subway toilets.
In order to support his son, he was poor and homeless, and he started as a salesman at the lowest level. He later became a well-known financial investor in the United States. Reflecting on his past, Chris Gardner said: "In my twenties, I went through all kinds of difficult, dark, scary moments imaginable, but I never gave up. The reason why I publish this autobiography is to show everyone that no matter how painful life is, even in the most difficult moments, father and son are inseparable and dependent on each other. ”
The father-son relationship that blood is thicker than water, the entrepreneurial story that strives to inspire the heart, and the perfect ending that brings tears to the eyes, this is the excellent movie of the previous life - "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"!
Originally, this play was starring Will Smith in his previous life, but now Yi Feiyang designed it in advance, and it can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders, not to mention that it is better to let Will star in it, and it is not considered to bury him.
"Yi, I've decided, yes, I have to be the leading actor in this play! A must! Will Smith said with some emotion.
You must know that good actors also like to pick up dramas, and it is definitely a rare opportunity to meet your favorite stories and favorite roles.
Good actors and good scripts, when combined, will have a fierce collision and sparks, which can definitely achieve classics.
Will Smith has been filming for so many years, and for him, he can judge whether the script is good or not as long as he listens to the general story, not to mention that Yi Feiyang is also an expert storyteller, and under his colorful narration, Will Smith has completely liked this play.
"Ahem, dear Will, are you too anxious? To be honest, I only have a rough idea of this drama, and as for whether it can start filming, we haven't written a word yet, so we need to think about it in the long run......"
"No, I can't wait any longer, it's a big deal that you write the script, and I will star in it with zero pay!"
"Huh?!" Yi Feiyang's mouth opened wide.
Will's wife looked at her husband in surprise, knowing that Will's current filming value is 20 million US dollars, and how can she not be surprised if she opens her mouth like this and plays with zero pay.
Seeing that Will even said such "cruel words", Yi Feiyang almost slapped his face shamelessly and praised, "Zero pay is good!" Fortunately, his emotional intelligence is still quite high, and he said with a smile: "Oh dear Will, I'm so moved, it seems that you really like this play, then I will try to create the script as soon as possible, and prepare this play to start filming as soon as possible!" You will be my male protagonist, I can assure God of Lu! But there's no need to act with zero pay, you just need to reduce your salary a little bit, yes, this is the biggest support for me! ”
Yi Feiyang's words of "putting his heart in his heart" moved Will very much, look, this is a filmmaker who is not for fame or profit.
"Then how much should I be paid?" Will muttered.
Nonsense! Of course, the more you make an appointment! Yi Feiyang said in his heart, and said: "As for the salary, we will talk about it later, it is better for you and your wife to go in first, no, I have another guest here!" Hehe! ”
For some reason, Will always felt that Yi Feiyang was smiling a bit like a fox at this moment. (To be continued......)
