Courtney just stood by Simon's side and looked at his painting with some restraint, but Christie leaned over and stuck to Simon's side. A wisp of beautiful blonde hair swayed in Simon's spare light. As she looked at his painting, she said, "no, we're going to a party, Simon. Would you like to join us?"
Simon, noncommittal, continued to paint and asked, "what kind of party?"
"It's held by Matthew to celebrate the box office success of his leading role in" the genius of skipping classes. ". Oh, Matthew Broderick, you know what? "
Simon nodded. Although he has the memory of another 12 people, in order to fully increase his understanding of Hollywood in this era, he has been persistently reading Hollywood's two ace cards, variety and Hollywood Reporter, so he knows the popular films currently on display.
The most popular movie in Hollywood is Tom Cruise's top gun. In less than two months, the film, which was released in mid May, has grossed $75 million.
In Hollywood in the 1980s, the mode of all-round distribution with thousands of screens at one time has not yet emerged. The mainstream distribution method of major film companies is still the combination of long-term distribution and multi round screening.
The basic characteristics of this traditional distribution mode are small scale and long screening time.
Even in Star Wars: return of the Jedi three years ago, there were only more than 1000 screens. But on the other hand, as long as it is a popular film, it can be shown in North American Theaters for more than half a year.
"Top gun" also started with about 1000 screens. It took less than two months for it to make 75 million US dollars at the box office, temporarily ranking in the North American box office in 1986. Simon later learned that Christie had also made a small role in "the genius of skipping classes". Today, she was officially invited, not like those who lined up outside the door to enter the good school Men and women in the lewood circle.
Along the corridor into the bar hall, Simon found that the oval layout of the hall is indeed the same as its "airship" name, and the decoration is full of science and technology.
At this time, the hall has been filled with young people, lights flashing, deafening music.
Christie didn't immediately join the carnival crowd, but first took Simon and Courtney to the other side of the bar according to a waiter's instructions, where the main actor of the party tonight is.
After half a turn in the oval crowded hall, the trio found several young men and women sitting around and chatting at a round table deep in the bar.
Some people at the round table saw someone coming, but they didn't mean to get up. Christie reached out to a boy with a tender face, shook his hand with him, and said with a smile, "Matthew, congratulations. And this is my friend, Kurt Simon
As Christie finished, Simon and Courtney also came forward and shook hands with each other. Matthew Broderick was still sitting. Although he shook hands with them with a smile, there was also an obvious coldness.
After a brief greeting and seeing Matthew Broderick's indifference, they were not even interested in knowing the specific names of Simon and Courtney, so they planned to leave. But just as he was about to move, a boy sitting opposite Matthew Broderick gave Christie a look and pulled a chair from the side.
"Well, you go to play. I'll talk to Matthew and them for a while," Christie said to Simon and Courtney. Seeing them go away, she sat down with a smile and said, "so, what are you talking about?"
"Matthew's new movie," the boy next to Christie replied, handed her a drink, and then looked across at Matthew Broderick and asked, "well, what's his name?"
"Butterfly effect, a cool play," said Matthew Broderick, with no outsider nearby. His voice became active and he said, "do you know what butterfly effect means?"
All shook their heads.
"In fact, I don't know very well," Matthew said with laughter. "However, several senior executives in wma attach great importance to the script and are still planning to build it into a package project of wma, just like CAA."
The girl next to Matthew Broderick saw that he was walking around all the time. She pretended to be dissatisfied and shook his arm. She said, "Matthew, what kind of story is it?"
"Well," Matthew said, shaking his head and enjoying the coquetry of the girl beside him, "I can't say that for the time being. You'll know that in a while. What's more, there are many young characters in the script, and you also have the opportunity to participate in the audition. Maybe I can help you then. "
The crowd gathered around Matthew Broderick, expecting this kind of opportunity naturally. Therefore, hearing his last words, his expression was more eager and flattering.
Christie added, "Matthew, when does the movie start?"
"The project is still in coordination, and it should be introduced to the studio recently," Matthew Brodrick said, glancing at Christie's beautiful face. "Besides, Norman thinks there is too little for me in the script, and he wants the screenwriter to revise the script. In a word, we all know that a good movie is not so easy to complete. "Everyone nodded and said yes. At the same time, some people were envious of the name mentioned lightly in Matthew's words.
Matthew just said Norman, named Norman Broca, is his agent, is also one of the legendary Hollywood agents. Many years ago, Norman Broca had represented such a legendary star as Marilyn Monroe.
Due to the death of wma's two elders in the first half of the year, Norman Broca, who just turned 60 this year, successfully became the president of the brokerage giant with his many years of experience in wma.
A few of you are in Hollywood and have good agents of your own.
However, we all know that if we can find an agent like Norman Broca, their acting career will definitely be smooth. Matthew Broderick was born into an acting family, which enabled him to sign with Norman Broca at a young age.
Matthew Brodrick was held in the center of the conversation. There was a sudden commotion on the dance floor not far away. With the noise, there was a small space in the dance floor. It seemed that there was a fight.
Some people make trouble at their own celebration party. Matthew Brodrick's face suddenly gets a little uneasy. He gets up and walks to the dance floor. The others follow him.
Approaching the dance floor, Christie recognized the two figures in the center of the commotion, and her beautiful face immediately suffered.
