The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 16 Applause sounds

When he entered the screening room, Robert took a casual look and the attendance rate was about half.

Instead of going to the front row, he sat in the last row and said to Catherine and Eric, "You guys do whatever you want, don't have to be with me."

Catherine and Eric said a few words and sat on the other side of the aisle.

Robert took off his wool coat and found that many viewers in the front row were drinking coffee. He said to his subordinates: "Simon, go buy a cup of coffee."

Simon came to the sale and saw some instant paper cups of black coffee on the counter, and asked, "This is the only one?"

"There is only this one." Mason explained: "Welcome to a movie and get coffee, you don't have to spend money, the director will pay."

He took a cup: "How many cups do you want?"

Simon asked for a cup of coffee, returned to the screening room, and handed it to Robert, explaining: "There is only instant coffee in the theater, which is prepared by the crew."

Robert tasted it: "It's a little clever to use coffee to attract audiences."

He issued an order: "You send the questionnaire and recycle the movie after it is over. You don't have to come back, just find a place to sit."

This is the usual practice, and the four subordinates each left.

The gates close and the screening begins.

In the middle of the third row, Hawke also received a questionnaire and a gift pen.

The questionnaire is the simplest post-screen score, with the highest five stars.

Hawke felt relieved, no accident happened yet.

Regardless of whether the deal can be completed in the end, he has made a profit and no loss in this business.

The audience who drank strong black coffee were full of energy, with lunch and cash rewards hanging on. Even though the movie was full of Mexicans, most of them were still staring at the screen.

A big girl felt bored and yawned.

The little girl next to her glared at her, as if her sister was snatching her pocket money.

The girl quickly straightened her figure and watched the movie seriously.

On the other side of the aisle, the bearded man found that the person in front was tilted to one side and kicked him under his seat. The man in front immediately sat upright.

Simon chose a position, and in addition to watching the movie, his eyes swept across the audience from time to time.

Simon was not very interested in the movies full of Mexicans. What surprised him was that the white audience nearby were very engaged and stared at the screen one by one.

The other three people are similar to him, but they are not surprised. They thought it was not good in the past, and the audience liked too many videos after buying it.

After the film begins, Robert never touches the coffee cup again.

The plot of this film is very neat, with a standard three-act structure, and the theme is also the prodigal son who is loved by Hollywood and American audiences. It also involves family and friendship. Although the production is a bit rough, the cost is here, and it is replaced by Hollywood. The company is not much better.

The only question is, why is the protagonist not a white man?

Robert hasn't seen such a movie for several years. When I remember that the last time I watched it, many viewers left the stage early.

But the expected early exit did not appear.

Robert looked over from the last row, and most of the audience was focused, and few even went to the bathroom.

This is somewhat unexpected.

As the movie ended, no audience left the audience early.

Robert thought about it, with the development of the equal rights movement, the audience's acceptance has become more high?

Or, the plot of this movie reflects the drug and trafficker problems that are generally faced by the underlying communities, and resonates with these people?

As the movie ended, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief. The audience she found did not leave early, and Robert did not leave early.

Although there is no warm and explosive atmosphere, the quiet viewing atmosphere is really good.

Catherine is full of thoughts, and the film has a great hope of selling the copyright and regaining its investment, and may also generate profits.

She couldn't help but glance at her boyfriend. In addition to licking her, she also had real talents and practical skills, which could really help her improve her personality.

The film ends at this time, and the cast and crew subtitles flash.

Hawke, who had been preparing for a long time, was the first to applaud, and everyone around him applauded, and the applause spread throughout the theater.

All the audience applauded.

Hawke was the first to stand up and stood up and applauded!

There was communication in advance, and people around stood up and stood up and applauded. Back to the left, Larson stood up and led the nearby people to stand up one after another.

In other places, four deputy commanders, Brand, and the bearded man stood up one after another.

Everyone around them stood up and applauded.

The theater audience all stood up and applauded!

The applause kept ringing, half a minute, one minute...

Catherine remembered Hawke's advice and pulled Eric: "Idiot, go and end the curtain call!"

The actors in "SAR Highland" are all temporarily hired, and there is actually only one director behind the crew.

Eric had never experienced such a scene before. The applause made him panic. He got up and ran forward, but he almost fell down because he was too nervous.

Hawke thought this guy played it, and secretly sighed effectively adding to the sense of reality.

The rookie director, who has received such recognition, is excited, shocked, and panic...

Eric stood in front of the screen, facing the audience and bowed to the curtain call.

Hawke still stood up and applauded, and he increased his strength, and the people around him also applauded harder.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

In the theater, the applause became even more intense.

Eric could only stand up and bow again to the curtain call.

Hawke looked down at the phone that was placed on the cup holder. It was less than four minutes, so there was no hurry.

So, the applause continues.

The warm atmosphere spread to the back row, and Robert slowly stood up and patted his palm gently.

Everyone has self-judgment criteria for movies.

As a business manager of a film company, Robert's standards are simple, and the movies that frontline audiences like are good movies.

Because this is the commercial value.

In the past, most of the films that could enjoy such warm applause from the audience at film festivals have achieved success.

The eyes of Larson, bearded and others passed through the figures, fell on Hawke, and began to curse in his heart.

Nothing else, the applause took too long and the palms were a little hurt.

In front of the screen, Eric bowed to the curtain call again, muttering in his heart, there was still no end? Do they want to slap their palms?

Hawke had always mastered the time, and in six minutes he stopped applauding and sat back in his seat.

The applause gradually subsided and everyone sat down one after another.

In fact, Hawk is still a bit conservative. In another five or six years, the three major European film festivals will evolve into a business, and applause is not uncommon for more than ten minutes.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Eric thanked loudly.

The applause rang again.

After the film screening, the audience left one after another. Robert's subordinates were guarding near the exit and recycled the scoring questionnaire as much as possible to obtain the most intuitive front-line data at the fastest speed.

Simon was collecting the questionnaire when a beard suddenly came over and whispered, "Ask you something, you came from Hollywood, have you ever heard that Winona Reed stole the underwear that Bill was wearing in the zippered door? ”

This made Simon ask me in a daze, thinking that I had never heard of it. Is this an insider who is not as informed as a movie fan?

Hawke, who came from behind, quickly stuffed the scoring questionnaire into another person's hands and stayed away from here.

The audience left the theater and happily headed to the Alpine Pizza Store.

Everything we can do here was done, and the remaining Hawk could not affect it, so we went to the pizza restaurant together.

He believed in his words and took out the $10 that Bill had already exchanged and handed it to everyone.

The film festival has just begun, and this group of people can be used later.

The bearded walks through the crowd and finds Hawke, stuffs him a can of beer, and cries a glass with him: "Man, give you a toast!"

Hawke had drunk, fisted him, and toasted to the silent Brand.

Brand suddenly remembered something, and the $1,000 spent on the party fell on George Hansen.

Double monthly tickets, please give me some monthly tickets, and thank you, the bosses.
