America is in control

Chapter 240 Movie preview meeting and everyone’s opinions
Dino took an MGM movie viewing expert into the VIP box on the second floor of Anderson Cinema.

He immediately saw Perez, the deputy director of the distribution department of Buwei Pictures, and a solemn look suddenly flashed across his face.

Perez was half lying on the VIP seat, his eyes wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Realizing that someone was looking at him, he came back to his senses and turned his head to look over.

Seeing Dino walking into the VIP box, Perez's eyes flashed with curiosity and he quickly said hello.

"Dino, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Perez, long time no see, if you can come, of course I can come too!"

Dino slowly walked towards the other party, with a standard smile on his face, and answered loudly.

He asked tentatively as he sat down next to Perez.

"Has Bowei Films also taken a liking to this low-budget romantic comedy?"

Perez still maintained a half-lying posture and answered a few words half-truly and half-falsely.

"A small production can create big waves, who can say for sure?"

"The boss of the producer of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" is the boxing star John who wants to cross over. He has caused quite a stir recently."

"His boxing promoter Bob has a good relationship with the executives of Bowei Films. The boss couldn't save face, so he asked me to come over."

After a moment of pause, he suddenly sat up straight, looked at Dino with piercing eyes, and asked.

"What about you, Dino? When did MGM get interested in a low-budget romantic comedy like this?"

Hearing what Perez said, Dino sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing with me?

They were obviously interested in the film's box office potential, but they failed to secure the film's producer.

What are you trying to say to save face? Why are you pretending? Only a fool would believe your lies!

Dino remembered the not so harmonious meeting with General Liu at the celebration dinner. He had an idea and answered nonsense.

"Frankly speaking, the reason why I came here is not because of the cost of the movie, but because of Mr. John!"

"Mr. John is the pride of Italian Americans. As an Italian, of course I have to support him!"

"MGM management thought the same thing!"

Perez cursed secretly, "You are so fucking shameless, you can even say such nonsense."

The two looked at each other, and the false smiles on their faces grew brighter.

At this time, Roland, a movie viewing expert from Warner Bros. Entertainment, got out of the car at the entrance of Anderson Cinema.

He was slowly walking towards the cinema with a notebook in hand, when suddenly a voice sounded from behind.

"Good Afternoon, Roland."

Stopping, Roland turned around and looked at where the sound came from.

The person who stopped him was Doron, a colleague from New Line Cinema and an old acquaintance of his.

"Good afternoon, Doron, are you, New Line Cinema, also interested in this "Looking for the Midnight Kiss"?"

Roland said hello to the other party, pointed to the movie poster at the door of Anderson Cinema, and asked.

Doron spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and replied helplessly.

"I didn't really want to come, but the boss personally gave the order, so I had no choice but to make a trip."

"I don't know what Shay is thinking! What kind of tricks can a movie starring a boxing star do?"

"Isn't this a completely bad movie? It's a complete waste of my time!"

Doron complained as he came to Roland's side.

The two walked side by side towards the door of Anderson Cinema.

"What you say is too absolute! The executive producer and director of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" are both veterans who have been in the industry for many years. Maybe this movie will make your eyes shine!"

"Pull him down! Anyway, I don't have any hope. I'm just going through the motions this time to try my luck!"

I heard two middle-aged white men next to me discussing the movie "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" as if no one else was watching.

Standing at the door of Anderson Cinema, Angela frowned and cursed secretly.

Who is this? Really! I haven't even watched the movie yet, so I'm just blaming it here! What the hell!
Angela glanced at the backs of the two of them, sighed quietly, and then pursed her lips unhappily.

Why hasn't Arthur come yet? Doesn't he want to let me go? Scumbag!
There is no reliable man. I really don’t know what I like about him!

Stupid brat, if you dare not come this time, there will be no future between us!
Angela played with her slender fingers and stamped her feet, complaining about her sweetheart in her heart.

She and Arthur got to know each other through a party, and they liked each other. They were in a state of being friends but not lovers.

By chance, Angela learned a piece of news from a friend.

A preview of a romantic comedy called "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" will be held.

She has been worrying recently about how to establish a relationship with Arthur. Wouldn't the opportunity come now?

A romantic comedy, a dark and private viewing environment, no need to spend money, and a way to express your feelings.

Unable to find a better opportunity, Angela decisively extended an invitation to Arthur, who immediately agreed.

I thought everything would go smoothly, but the movie preview is about to start, but Arthur hasn't arrived yet. What should I do?

Just when Angela lost her temper and complained about her sweetheart.

Arthur held a bouquet of roses in his hand and quietly touched Angela from behind.

Gently patting the other party's smooth shoulder, he handed the rose to Angela and whispered.

"Angela, I'm coming!"

The beautiful girl shuddered, suddenly turned around and looked at Arthur, who had arrived late.

"You still know how to come! How long have I been waiting for you at the entrance of the cinema? Don't you know how long it is?"

Angela pouted her lips, grabbed the rose, and complained.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry! Didn't I prepare a gift for you? The movie is about to start, let's go in!" "Forget it this time, don't do this again next time! Do you understand? "

The two looked at each other, and after some chatting, they walked into the Anderson Cinema.

At this time, the cinema was already filled with preview audiences, the noise gradually disappeared, and the screening of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" began.

There is no gorgeous opening animation, and text information such as producer - New Caesars Entertainment, producer - John Liu and other text messages are abruptly displayed in the center of the big screen.

Duolong was sitting on the sofa in the VIP box on the second floor, surrounded by colleagues in the industry.

He looked at the big screen listlessly, his eyelids drooping, and he looked like he was coping with the problem.

An urban legend in Los Angeles? On the last midnight of every year, just find a stranger to kiss and you can get rid of this year's bad luck?

What an international joke! Why have I never heard of this urban legend? Is it just made up to fool people?

Huh! The male and female protagonists of this movie are not bad looking, they have handsome looks and good figures, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.

Is it another partnership between a rich girl and a poor boy? This is too cliche! Nothing new!

What the hell! The male protagonist actually exercised his arm muscles against his roommate's penis. Is this broadcastable?

Use the Internet to find strangers to complete urban legends and get rid of bad luck? What kind of brain circuit does this rich girl have! Is it so strange?
AuctionWeb? An online auction site? The hero and heroine are connected through a pair of kissing dolls?

This is a bit new! Maybe this way of making friends will gradually become popular in the future.

Who makes the United States a country full of worries? There are too many lonely men and women to count!
But this line is a bit too aggressive! How can any heroine come up and say that she is a disaster?

This male protagonist is not a good guy either. Whether he shaves his hair or not is none of your business!

Do you really think that the rich girl is here to play 419 with you?

With "Searching for the Midnight Kiss" showing a third of the way through, New Line Cinema's movie viewing expert Doron gradually sat up straighter and no longer looked like he was coping.

Most of his focus was on the big screen, and he clearly took a keen interest in the film.

Perez, the deputy director of the distribution department of Buvei Pictures, also looked at the big screen intently, with an occasional flash of light in his eyes.

The urban legend at the beginning of the movie is quite absurd! It doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, but it's barely passable.

The male and female protagonists are both handsome men and beautiful women, and their acting skills are actually pretty good. I can't find any major faults!
The storyline is both clichéd and somewhat new, so that it won't make people feel bored.

The quality of this movie is great! Even without the previous publicity, the box office potential is definitely not weak. This film is very valuable!
What kind of bad luck did New Caesar Entertainment have? Where did they find such an excellent script?
Perez is also an experienced film viewing expert. His position as deputy director of the distribution department did not rely on any special relationship, but he climbed up step by step.

Not to mention Hollywood movies, he has watched a lot of movies from the San Fernando Valley.

From a market perspective, this movie has at least reached the passing mark, not even too far from 70%, and is very likely to achieve box office success.

Characters, plot, and atmosphere are all factors that determine the success or failure of a film, and the rhythm is also good.

Perez secretly gave "Searching for the Midnight Kiss" a not-so-low score in his mind. As long as it is well publicized, this movie should attract the attention of many young people.

Roland, a film viewing expert at Warner Bros. Entertainment, opened the notebook in his hand but did not write a word. He felt it was not necessary.

The quality of this movie is just passable, but it's nothing special.

The vulgar plot and the old-fashioned pairing of male and female protagonists make it uninteresting.

Older people won't like this movie too much, but as for young people, who can say for sure?

However, "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" still has some box office potential. If this movie is really released, it should not lose money.

Dino from the MGM Film Company's Distribution Department has been staring at the big screen. He looked extremely seriously and kept writing and drawing in his notebook.

The way a rich girl and a poor boy get to know each other is very interesting, and they actually get to know each other through the Internet.

This setting is very pleasing. It not only rides on the popularity of the Internet wave, but also looks unique. Young people in the United States will definitely like it.

The rich girl in the movie is also quite unique. After learning about the scandal of the poor boy, she immediately turned against him and refused to recognize him. She is like a keyboard warrior emotionally!
This kind of character setting instantly raised the heroine's evaluation, no longer seemed so low-level, and was flesh-and-blood, in line with the fantasy of young American male audiences about rich girls.

As the plot develops, the poor boy also shows another side. He is no longer a hooligan who only exercises his arm strength and asks vulgar questions.

The poor boy and the rich girl quietly sneaked into a large theater that had been abandoned for many years in the city center. There were no ghosts in that large theater.

The two have a romantic and wonderful time there that young American female viewers should enjoy.

Next, the male and female protagonists, who had an ambiguous relationship, worked together, overcame many difficulties, got rid of the rich girl's perverted boyfriend, and teased the poor boy's bad friends.

All this happened before the New Year’s Eve midnight kiss where the old and the new alternated!

When the clock struck midnight, the rich girl and the poor boy kissed each other crazily, and all their accumulated emotions were released in an instant.

Dino loosened the tie around his neck to allow himself to breathe easier.

The scene of crazy kissing on the big screen made his heart, which had been silent for a long time, become restless.

At this time, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the cinema.

What happened! Dino was a little curious. He stuck his head out and looked downstairs.

At this time, some men and women in the cinema began to kiss without anyone noticing, and the sound was surprisingly loud, making people blush.

Taking the lead were the 'extras' recruited by Jonathan, those 'shills'.

Gradually, some serious trial audiences were moved by the atmosphere of the scene, and the theater suddenly broke into a kiss.

Angela blushed and glanced at Arthur beside her. There was a smile on her lips and a different kind of emotion flashed in her eyes.

The surrounding people were buzzing with voices, the atmosphere had already been set in place, and the hint of the beautiful girl was very obvious.

Arthur was obviously overly nervous. He tremblingly touched Angela's hand, grinding on it, but refused to kiss her. The progress was frighteningly slow.

Angela couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed Arthur's neck and pressed her pink lips towards the target.

At this time, many heads popped out of the VIP box, and movie-watching experts marveled at the scene that took place in the cinema.

Liu Jiang's eyes were fixed on the young couple Arthur and Angela, and he was filled with emotions.

I don’t know if this couple is one of the ‘extras’ recruited by Jonathan. If so, that’s totally outrageous!
Such professional acting skills and dedicated attitude are no less impressive than those of real actors!

I thought that the extras on the toilet seat were invincible, but I didn't expect that there were people in a foreign country who were braver than them. This is so magical!
Suppressing his doubts, Liu Jiang completely gave up the idea of ​​finding 'extras' from the preview audience.

There is more than enough heart but not enough strength! Just by looking at their behavior, he couldn't tell who among the men and women kissing each other had received his money.
