On the screen, with the huge roar of the airplane engine, the movie came to an end. The male protagonist laughed on the bed and ushered in his own ending. In the normal world, there are no weird things, no first love, only love.

Sister, the sad calls of parents, only the heroine passing by like a stranger, it is really a sad story.

"That's stupid." Sean muttered under his breath.

"What?" Katie, who was forced to sit next to him, asked at this time.

"It's nothing. It will be over soon. I am a little worried about the audience's evaluation." Sean said in a concealed manner.

In the past, the scene of myself laughing in bed was okay during filming. I don’t know why, but it became a bit silly on the big screen. Fortunately, it was fleeting and probably didn’t leave any more impression on the audience.

"Are you still worried about this?" Katie pouted and asked, seemingly still dissatisfied with his previous arrogant actions.

"As an actor, shouldn't you be worried?" Sean shrugged.

This is true, although in his opinion, his performance is considered good, but he cannot represent all audiences, can he? If he cannot convey the emotions of the character to the audience, then the actor will undoubtedly fail, and can he be sure

Once it’s delivered, you’ll have to watch the applause after the screening, so you’ll be a little worried at this point.

At this moment, the lights were turned on, and the originally quiet theater began to buzz with buzzing sounds. It seemed that many people started discussing at the same time. This was not a good phenomenon, because after the movie ended, the audience's first

The reactions are the most genuine reactions. If there is no applause at all, it means the movie is very bad.

In fact, Sean heard someone in a few rows behind ask in a low voice: What is this movie about?

However, seven or eight seconds later, the first round of applause rang out. Although the sound was very abrupt, it somewhat eased the awkward atmosphere. Then, driven by this round of applause, others began to applaud as well.

, and the scope is quite large. But it’s hard to say how enthusiastic it is. It feels like a review of a movie that is a bit strange, not very bad and has some highlights, but at the same time very inexplicable.

"Don't worry, this is only the first scene. A good movie takes time to reflect on." As a producer, Drew was not anxious at all and instead comforted everyone.

It seems that she should have found a publisher, or is sure to find a publisher. Having enough contacts will really help. Although Sean had the idea of ​​​​establishing relationships with some companies with publishing capabilities through Drew, he was a little more concerned.

I gave up after thinking about it. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is different from "Death Illusion". The latter did not plan to make much money. It only needs to recover the cost and win a few awards. If it sells well at the box office, it will be an unexpected surprise, so

The publisher you contacted will definitely not be very capable.

But "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" is different. Sean is convinced that this will not be an ordinary romantic comedy. Before reporting to the crew of "The Perfect Thief", Sean went to the studio in charge of post-production and even proposed

After giving some targeted editing opinions, he watched the film take shape. Because of this, he gradually became certain that the film would be very popular, especially after finding a place for internal test screenings, so the distributor's ability would naturally be

The higher the better.

If you are just looking for those small distributors, Todd Vladimir can do it alone. After all, he has served as the deputy director of the distribution department of Buena Vista Films, so he should have this network. But if you want to find those

If a large and powerful publisher takes over, such as Miramax, that may not necessarily be the case.

Although Sean is on speaking terms with Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein, it is not certain how deep the relationship is. If it was early last year, when "The Talented Mr. Ripley" was first released,

Sean might be able to get the other party to consider it carefully, but it's hard to say now. Although he and Weinstein talked on the phone when the production company was affiliated with Miramax, and the other party agreed very readily, but after all, it has nothing to do with distribution.

Movies are two different things.

Moreover, Weinstein originally planned to ask him to star in a movie about chocolate this year. Although Johnny Depp was invited midway, Sean did not respond immediately after receiving the news, so it is difficult to say what the other party will think about it.

There will be no dissatisfaction, after all, he generously invested 1 million in him.

This is why when Vladimir hoped that Sean could contact Weinstein, although Sean agreed, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

It would be great if I could meet Harvey here, at least I could test his tone. Sean said in his heart, and then, his wish came true.

"Yes, I have heard about it, but I haven't seen it yet. It is said to be a science fiction movie with some ideas." In a corner of the venue, Harvey Weinstein laughed with his belly bulging, "There is a movie with you in it.

There’s definitely quality.”

After hearing this, Sean was really flattered, but judging from his glowing face, he must have gained a lot at the film festival, maybe it was a scene talk. Miramax started and is famous for independent films, so every year during the festival,

You won’t miss the Danse Film Festival, and many producers hope to have their works bought by Miramax, so it’s normal to see him at the party of “Death Illusion”.

Although the applause at the initial screening was not very enthusiastic, there was still an endless stream of people watching the movie afterwards, and many people thought the movie was cool. Some film critics were also interested in pondering the details of the movie, thinking that as a young director, Kelly

Such an idea in a debut novel is worthy of praise.

"The director built a wonderful world and showed an alternative youth. As a young director's debut, "Death Illusion" is undoubtedly qualified. And Sean, who had an excellent performance in "The Talented Mr. Ripley"

"Tang's joining also adds a lot to the movie. If you like science fiction movies, you can go and see this interesting work." The day after the movie was released, there was a review in the entertainment section of the local newspaper.

Some film critics who started writing on the newly popular blogs also expressed their opinions on "Death Illusion" on their own blogs, and most of the reviews were good. As someone who was the first to use a blog to write film reviews, he naturally has to be avant-garde in his thinking.

Some people naturally have a certain fondness for this kind of work that likes to be mysterious.

Many of these comments have been reprinted by other media, but most of them are in later editions, linked to the Sundance Film Festival, and only a few sentences are excerpted.

This was so satisfying that Drew and several producers held a party on the second day of the release and invited many people to attend. Weinstein, who had been back and forth several times, was also there.

So I was invited by the street to come and have a look, and then I met Sean.

Regardless of whether it was a scene or not, this at least gave Sean a chance: "Thank you for your compliment, Harvey. It's really a joy to hear you comment on me like this one year later."

"It's true, you are indeed a great young man." Weinstein continued to smile.

"By the way, a movie I produced will be released at the film festival in two days. Are you interested in coming to see it?" Sean asked immediately.

"Produced a movie?" Weinstein raised his eyebrows, and the hint of indifference that had been hidden on his face disappeared. Obviously, his sense of smell was particularly sensitive in this regard.

"Yes," Sean said calmly, "remember, I established a production company and affiliated it with Miramax."

"Yes, that's right," Weinstein thought for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, which then turned into surprise, "You made a movie so quickly?"

"It's a low-budget romantic comedy. The script is very interesting, with an exotic feel but close to real life. So I raised funds to produce it and exhibited it at Sundance." Sean immediately started lobbying.

"Romantic comedy? This is not an easy subject to produce. Although it has always been a popular genre, the competition is also fierce. It is not a good idea for a new production company to choose this." Weinstein showed a disapproving look.

Sean frowned slightly, but before he could think of an explanation, a voice intervened: "It also depends on what kind of script it is. If it can be favored by Todd Vladimir, it will definitely not be too bad.

go."

"Sure enough, I can see you wherever I can see Sean, Fred." Weinstein hummed.

"Unfortunately, if you could have met Sean yesterday, then I would definitely not be around." Frederick laughed.

Weinstein snorted again, and then showed a hint of surprise: "Wait, what did you just say...Todd? Vladimir?"

"Don't you know?" Frederick pointed at Sean, "He invited Vladimir to be the general manager of the production company, and he also recommended the script of this romantic comedy to Sean.

I was very optimistic about the script and even served as the executive producer of the movie."

"Really?" Weinstein looked at Sean in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it. "I thought that guy didn't plan to do anything related to movies anymore, but I didn't expect...it seems like you don't just want to set up

It’s a leather bag production company, Sean, so why is it affiliated with Miramax?”

"Anyway, I became famous through Miramax, and Miramax is also more friendly to independent filmmakers. I hope to bring more good movies to Miramax." Sean said immediately.

Said, something that was supposed to be a matter of taking advantage was said so righteously by him.

It's a pity that the other party just took this trick.

"Really?" Weinstein grinned. "Okay, when is that movie you made coming out?"

"On the 23rd, it's called "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" at the Potuca Cinema. I will be waiting for you there with the creative staff." Sean said happily.
Chapter completed!
