Chapter 302: Cheating

"Whoopi Goldberg is now the well-deserved No. 1 black actress in Hollywood. ranw?en??? `"

On July 1st, Song Ya and Harley had just finished walking the red carpet of the premiere when they heard deafening screams from fans behind them, not for a popular niche or idol actress, but for nearly forty years old, with good looks Happy Whoopi Goldberg. Her comedy film The Nun, which was released in May, also sparked an all-mi craze. The industry predicts that the box office of Beimi will be 150 million, and the global box office will exceed 200 million, while the cost is only 30 million.

Disney's "Touchstone" strategy was a great success. This Hollywood giant, which originally focused on the children and family carnival market, was forced by the market to make a strategic transformation in the 1980s. It established the Touchstone Films label to focus on adult-themed film production. The first time I went to the theater was to watch Pretty Woman produced by his family. That film grossed more than 460 million worldwide, and the production cost was only 14 million.

"Yes, her movie is still in theaters, and it's very interesting to be able to stand for us." Halle said.

Several black big names in Hollywood, such as Eddie Murphy, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Whoopi Goldberg, etc. are relatively united, and in most cases are willing to give opportunities to the following people, but for blacks who have a competitive relationship Actors are not necessarily.

In the early years, there were few opportunities for black people in Hollywood, and they were almost all types of actors who were tied to death. For example, Eddie Murphy was a comedian who kept making jokes, Morgan Freeman played an old man, Denzel Washington was a decent drama, Whoopi Goldberg It's the female version of gags and ugliness. They are locked in advance, and they will use methods to suppress the same type of black actors who may threaten their status. There is also a black supermodel Naomi Campbell in the modeling circle, who is merciless in suppressing the younger generation, and doesn't even bother to cover up.

From this point of view, Harley has a good chance. She is very close to the specific type of "the most beautiful black vase". According to the black aesthetics of this era, she is not the most beautiful black actress, and even mixed blood is occasionally used. However, because of the differences in aesthetics between blacks and whites in the mainstream market, the two sides have been unable to reach a consensus on who is the most beautiful.

As the aesthetics of the black group gradually converges with that of whites, attacks on mixed-race children have begun to become politically incorrect. At the current point in time, a large uncultivated no-man’s land suddenly appeared in front of Harley’s stardom, where there is no death There are almost no big bosses at the same level who are competitive at the same level, just be careful to deal with latecomers who are lower than her.

"What are your plans after this movie?" Song Ya asked.

"There was a role in a TV series, playing a mixed-race black slave, showing off his acting skills and gaining a good reputation. The manager suggested that I temporarily stop accepting commercial films, wait for the box office results of this film to be released, and then raise the salary to observe the market reaction. I came from New York for the past two years , in order to maintain a glamorous image on the outside, I have to live carefully every day, really, I am afraid of poverty."

In front of him, Halle was less concerned about her appearance than before, she complained under her breath.

"You..." Song Ya originally wanted to say that your current life is better than being homeless in New York, but was interrupted by the loud clamor of people in the theater, and Whoopi Goldberg came in.

This black aunt who has just earned hundreds of millions of box office is very energetic. She has been high-fiving people from the back row without any celebrity airs.

"Congratulations." Eddie Murphy waited in the middle of the first row and hugged her warmly.

"I also wish you well." She communicated with the cast members and VIPs in the first row one by one, "Harry, you are so beautiful." After she hugged Harley, "aplus!" She surprised Song Ya , "Cool boy, I love your song..."

After giving Song Ya a big hug, "Come on, how about giving me a kiss like Harley..."

She pouted, and Song Yazheng didn't know how to respond, so she quickly kissed her left and right cheeks, "Scared you, hahaha!" She looked at the person next to her,

Leaning forward and backward with a smile.

People will laugh out loud, because they have seen all the gossip about the kissing and gossip between themselves and Halle outside the Columbia set.

Song Ya could only laugh along with her.

"Where's babyface?" Whoopi Goldberg asked.

Song Ya pointed to the stage, "Right away."

Accompanied by rhythm and blues music, babyface and Donnie Braston took to the stage singing the song giveuheart from the soundtrack of the film.

Everyone stood and twisted their bodies, clapping their hands, "My God, he's still so young..."

Whoopi Goldberg stared at Babyface on the stage insanely. This singer, who was only three and a half years younger than her, seemed to have been forgotten by time. He still looked like a young man in his early twenties wearing jeans, a metal belt, and an open jacket. Donnie sang and danced on stage.

Donnie's evening gown made her hot figure show off and radiate.

Harley subconsciously looked down at today's outfit. In order to echo the role of the secretary in the movie, she wore an office-style fashion. She curled her lips, probably a little bit regretful, because Tang Ni stole the limelight.

The high-quality chorus ended, and under the applause of everyone, the popular rhythm and blues group boyzman came to the stage again and presented a song "endtheroad" still composed by babyface.

The harmony of the four people is perfect, and Song Ya feels that this song has the potential to be the top single.

After two songs, the show of Cheating Heart began, and everyone sat down one after another.

This movie had been screened on a small scale in Los Angeles beforehand, and Song Ya had already seen the finished film. Eddie Murphy was very ambitious, and almost all black configurations. The movie was similar to the neighborhood boys from a certain angle, and they all woven a The dream world of black people. In this movie, black protagonists wear high-end clothing in front of corporate executives, go to various high-end places, and travel all over the world for their own transnational business. Going to island resorts is just a matter of time Take a trip.

The difference is that Eddie Murphy's story is too exaggerated and ungrounded. At least in the eyes of black people, the world in the movie is too false, and it is far less delicate than John Singleton's handling of the boy on the block.

Then the core of the movie is still what Eddie Murphy is good at, colored jokes, long and large gags, one second is the busy scene of people coming and going in a big company full of blacks or the lively and flashy high-end dance party, the next One second is that he and Martin Lawrence and others are performing long-form group talk shows, which makes the rhythm of the film a big problem.

The production is also weird. Some pictures are very good, while others have obvious traces of rough reshoots. Harley has two close-up monologues facing the camera. Song Ya is barely an amateur now, and it can be seen at a glance It is very different from the overall picture style of the movie.

On the contrary, the male protagonist Eddie Murphy's playful personality is very consistent with the reality, and finally he is happy with the character played by Harley and finally gets married.

Harley's little secretary is in the top position. In fact, what this character does is quite bitch. Fortunately, she achieved crushing in the play by virtue of her appearance. Basically, the first time she appeared on the stage, the audience guessed that she would end up with Eddie Mo Fei came together.

After the premiere, Song Ya participated in the most torturous party after time travel. Halle was basically ignored by the women of the entire crew. The girlfriend Nicole Mitchell of the party owner Eddie Murphy was also positive There was a lot of cynicism, and the actors of the crew also chose to stand on the same side as the women.

"let's go."

Song Ya didn't bother to stay in this situation because she was angry but not easy to get angry. "It's not a bad thing to be jealous of everyone." He comforted Harley.

"In Hollywood?" Harry smiled wryly and shook his head, "You don't know Hollywood yet."

Song Ya was speechless, and patted her hand on the next door, and the two walked out the door, "aplus!" Suddenly someone called his name from behind, it was Tang Ni.

"Bring me one?" She seemed to be drunk, biting her lips and giggling at the two of them, "Harry, don't you mind?"

"You're leaving now? Okay, what about babyface?" Song Ya would never touch babyface's woman, although he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

Donnie pouted inside, Babyface was holding a woman's arm and chatting with someone else, it seemed to be his wife, Tracy Edmonds.

"Can you chair dance?" Harry asked suddenly.

"What chair dance?" Tang Ni was bewildered.

"Aplus invented it, come on, let's find a place." Harry turned her into the car.

"You're really, really sweet, Harley..."
