Chicago 1990

"APLUS, Ms. Michelle sent a package that looks like an oil painting."

In Tribeca, New York, Song Ya, who was lying on the sofa, received a call from the servant of Highland Park, "Did she leave a word?"

"Let you call back."

"Ok."

Find Michelle's phone and dial it, "It's the one you sent." The other party replied.

"Why?" Song Ya thought she wanted to break off friendship, "Is there something wrong between us?"

"No, uh, we have to make some preparations. He wants to be in politics, so..." Michelle smiled: "After listening to your song, he finally made up his mind."

"Is that so?"

Song Ya suddenly said, "What are your specific plans? Maybe I can help. But this is not an election year..."

"I won't be polite when we need help. We have to make some preparations in advance. You know, to straighten out some relationships, we will probably target the state House of Representatives election in Hyde Park in late 1995." Michelle replied.

"No problem, my voter qualifications are also hung there, and it makes sense to help." Song Ya happily agreed to a trivial matter.

"APLUS, Miss Kelly, we are leaving now." Linda came over to remind.

On Sunday night, Song Ya and his fiancée appeared in New York to rush to the theater event here, "Hey, Halle, Spike, welcome."

Halle appeared holding Spike Lee, and she was glamorous and high-spirited, who had been selling big in the summer of the two films, while Spike Lee, who had just pounced on one of them, couldn't help it.

"It's nice to see you again." After Spike Lee and Mariah Carey hugged, they asked Song Ya: "What is the estimated box office for the first weekend?"

"The specific figures will be released tomorrow morning. Global estimates are around nine million." Song Ya replied.

"Then there is a fierce competition with baseball angels?" Old Larry came with Stanbulakhitch behind, and the little white man behind them said.

"Mr. Woody Allen! Welcome, thank you for coming."

Song Ya saw the other party overjoyed and took Mariah Carey to hug each other affectionately. The Stan Blackhitch next to him blinked. Song Ya knew that they belonged to the New York Gang in the American film industry and Hollywood on the East Coast. The transfer of people is a bit estranged. Instead, they are more closely connected with the European New Wave and avant-garde film circles. They like to discuss human nature and social issues. Spike Lee is also one of them.

Let Woody Allen, an artistic director, come to support pure youth commercial films. Old Larry is also able to fight for this film. It is estimated that he has spent many years of points.

"Angels helped to win the game. How do you think this is also a Disney movie."

Spike Lee complained.The prototype of the baseball team in that movie is the California Angels. Disney is one of the team owners. The starring role is the thirteen-year-old Yucerf. When he asked his biological father when he would be a family again, an excuse from his father' Let’s wait for the Angels to win the championship. "It became his belief. The little boy kept praying to God, and finally got a response. Then there were angels to help Lien Chan's losing streak team win game after game. Victory.

This kind of overly metaphysical development has not been enthusiastically praised by the boring baseball fans during the offseason, especially after their favorite home team has become a stepping stone to the success of the Angels with the help of the Angels, such as the Chicago Red Sox. As a member of the loser's background board, word-of-mouth shows obvious signs of decline.

In the end, the angel disappeared, and the audience was a bit sensational than the scene where the angel wings inspired the players to win on their own.

Of course, as a sports film, motivational lines are the best to handle, and Disney is particularly good at it. Therefore, Universal expects that they will also get about 9 million box office in the first weekend, which is almost the same as dancing my life. It is difficult to win or lose before the last minute. material.

"Stop talking about it, let's go in." Stanbulakheqi laughed.

In fact, the inspirational line that danced my life is not bad, which is different from the inspirational theme of the baseball angel's "believe in miracles, miracles will happen".

"That's what I worry about. He won't take it seriously."

Spike Lee has never seen the final film, but still remembers the content of the script. Now the female principal sees the male lead through the screen, and said when the female lead asks her to let the male lead be a dance partner.

The male protagonist is also true. When he was practiced dancing with the rich girl and not having fun with his brothers, he also felt that the real dance performance was more difficult than imagined, and he was also caught in the streets. Tempted by the'carefree' life, he fooled around with the two male brothers.

"So far, not bad." Spike Lee asked Halle in a low voice: "In the end, I followed the APLUS script, right? Happyending?"

"You don't know him yet?" Hallie asked back.

"No artistic pursuit."

Without box office confidence, Spike Lee can only say such things in a low voice now.

Later, when the male lead was watching a baseball game with the male second, he mentioned the talents and dreams of the male second. He asked the male second, why not try the professional team. After being rejected by the male second, he persuaded him a few more words. He replied: "Stop talking about me, don't you also look like this? No matter what, you always give up quickly!"

The male lead was awakened by this very hurtful sentence and returned to the female lead. The female lead couldn't believe him anymore and said that he would test him again. So the two came to the ballet classroom where the female lead worked part-time.

"Hahaha!"

The audience was amused again by the big black man who was wearing ballet tights and standing in front of the girls with aggrieved expressions.

"The old bridge in the lotus of the water." Spike Lee, who read countless films, once again complained.

When the protagonist sent the protagonist home, the guarded gaze of the wealthy white neighbors made him even more regretful, "It shouldn't be taken in one stroke, there are many things that can be digging deeper."

Hallie rolled her eyes secretly.

The male lead who was accepted again by the female lead went to the female headmaster, but the other party still saw him through, "Nothing will be easy to succeed. You haven't proven that you have the ability to deal with setbacks." She said.

Then the male lead gave up for the second time, because the female lead's original dance partner returned from injury.

The heroine’s little white-faced boyfriend was also thrown away by the heroine for stealing the song. The heroine’s dance career and feelings became entangled again. After the heroine’s dance partner relapsed and Xiao Pangdun was shot and killed by the opponent for offending PJ, the hero finally After learning from the pain, rushed to the scene at the last moment before the hostess reported the performance and helped her complete the perfect performance.

The second man in the audience was deeply moved after watching the performance, so he also began to work hard to obtain a trial opportunity for the Chicago White Sox.

"Have you found it? The one in the back row is Mariah Carey." The female audience at the back talked in a low voice. It should be the second or third brush. "Yes, it is her." They were excited when they finally found the egg.

The movie ends in the affectionate embrace of the hero and the heroine.

"The heroine is called Amy Adams, right? The dance is not very good, but the performance is quite spiritual." Spike Lee stood up and applauded with everyone following the ending song.

"What is Woody Allen's comment?" Song Ya asked Stanbulakhitch.

"He is not interested in this kind of movie."

Stanbulakheqi smiled: "I finally pulled him over."

"Ok……"

Early the next morning, Linda put the first weekend box office calculated by Universal on the bedside. It was 9.3 million, which was 8.5 million ahead of the Baseball Angels, and ranked fourth on the weekend. In the off-season, I can win the box office of the week, but now it is the summer time. There are three mountains in front of them, the true lie, Forrest Gump and the Lion King.

"The speed of life and death is sixth, the phantom is ninth, and the modern stone clan is the eleventh."

Yeremov spoke to Song Ya over the phone, saying, "If nothing else, we can get more than 15 million yuan at the box office in the first week, and we will face Warner, Paramount and Columbia Pictures next week. In the competition for the launch of three blockbuster films, Warner’s client has a lot of voice..."

"I heard it was a legal thriller?" Song Ya asked.

"Yes, it doesn't overlap very much with our audience."

Yeremov replied excitedly, "Boss, we should be successful!"
