Chapter 124 Julia Roberts

  First update, seeking Three Rivers ticket!!!!!

  On April 20th, at 9:00 AM West Coast time, the same venue, Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, which is located on Hollywood Boulevard, a place that was once unfamiliar to many people. However, since last year, the four words "Grauman's Chinese Theatre" have been etched in the memories of numerous journalists and film enthusiasts. This is because within the past year, this theatre has hosted four movie premieres: Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, Jurassic Park, and Leaving Las Vegas. What's even more astonishing is that all four films grossed over $200 million worldwide, with Jurassic Park becoming the first film in history to surpass $1 billion at the box office! The total global box office for these four films exceeded $2 billion, making it a legendary year for the 1992 film industry. On another note, among these four films, Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, and Jurassic Park not only achieved great commercial success but also won awards at the Oscars ceremony.

  And today, with the official release of "Brave Heart", the entire Datang Cinema is filled with people coming to watch the premiere and reporters coming for interviews! And there are more people today, the atmosphere is even more enthusiastic. When Song Tang arrived at Datang Cinema and saw this atmosphere, he couldn't help but smile.

  At 9:00 sharp, the big screen in the cinema started playing "Braveheart". This film features Hollywood's rising star director Mel Gibson, this year's Oscar Best Actor nominee Robert Downey Jr., France's eternal sweetheart Sophie Marceau. With the massive promotion before its release, both movie fans and journalists had high expectations for "Braveheart". Although they heard from people like Gibson and Downey that the film wouldn't disappoint, everyone was still curious before seeing it. Now that the film has finally started playing, people are not only surprised but also expectant, hoping that the film will live up to its hype.

  The film soon began, with its retro visuals and stunning fight scenes, accompanied by a soundtrack rich in Scottish flavor. At the time, Song Tang spared no effort to make the film's soundtrack even better, and finally found James Horner, the renowned Hollywood film composer for "Braveheart".

  The film has a strong color of yearning for freedom, and it is not lacking in heroic sentiment. In addition, there is also the brave pursuit of love. The scenes in the film attract people's attention, especially when it comes to the grand finale of the golden armor and iron horse scene, the fans' hearts are even more boiling with passion, wishing they could experience this scene personally!

  Finally, the $25 million film "Braveheart" came to an end after a thrilling three-hour screening, and as the movie faded from the big screen, the audience erupted into thunderous applause!

  "Too wonderful!" "I love Princess Isabella, she's so captivating!" ".heroic! William Wallace!" "I hate war, but I love the pomp and circumstance of it all!" "Oh God, why didn't I join the extras for 'Braveheart' back then?" "...".

  Listening to the movie fans' discussion about the film, Song Tang couldn't help but laugh. No matter what these reporters or critics say, as long as the movie fans recognize it, there won't be a problem with box office sales. Although this isn't necessarily true, if the movie fans don't recognize the film, then there definitely won't be good box office sales!

  As the movie ended, Mel Gibson, Robyn Smith and Sophie Marceau were surrounded by reporters. Although they didn't want to talk to the press, they had no choice but to answer some questions briefly.

  At this time, Datang Film's foundation was still not comparable to Hollywood's film giants. However, since last year when Datang acquired Murdoch's Fox Broadcasting Company and subsequently made some scattered acquisitions of cinemas, Datang now owns over 3,500 cinemas across the United States. When "Brave Heart" premiered at Datang Cinema, all 3,150 cinemas in the US simultaneously screened it. The weekend premiere of "Brave Heart" earned $28 million at the box office, winning the new weekly box office champion title. This not only shut up the mouths of journalists who had previously been skeptical about "Brave Heart", but also secretly relieved Song Tang.

  After the movie "Brave Heart" was released, Song Tang quickly began to devote his energy to filming "Sweetheart", but at this time, Song Tang encountered a person who made him have to suspend his work for a while!

  Julia Roberts! Looking at the tall and beautiful woman in front of him, Song Tang couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect to run into her again at the Oscars ceremony after their previous encounter. And now, he was even more embarrassed because of a script. It all started when Song Tang said: "Dear Julia, if you want to make a movie, you can find me!"

  Originally, Song Tang thought this was just a joke, but who would have thought that today he would run into Julia here, and the other party is still in a state of not giving up on the script! This made Song Tang feel depressed, but also a little excited! Julia, born on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna, Georgia, USA. Never thought about becoming the most popular actress in America, as a child, she had a strong interest in animals and wanted to be a veterinarian, but later studied journalism. When her brother Eric Roberts was making a name for himself in Hollywood, Julia decided to try her luck in acting. She made a breakthrough in 1988 with two youth-themed films "Mystic Pizza" and "Satisfaction", quickly winning over a large number of fans.

  In 1989, she starred as a diabetic bride in the romantic comedy "Steel Magnolias", earning her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. In 1990, "Pretty Woman" made her a global superstar and brought her a second Oscar nomination - this time for Best Actress. Her next film, "Sleeping with the Enemy", was a huge box office success, in which she played a battered wife who escapes her husband and starts anew. After starring in Steven Spielberg's "Hook" in 1991, Roberts took a two-year hiatus from the screen. By early this year, People magazine was asking on its cover: "What Happened to Julia Roberts?"

  "Congratulations! Genius director, you have successfully shot a movie!" Julia looked at the director in front of her, who was six or seven years younger than herself, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed!

  "Thank you, Julia! But please don't call me a genius director again. It sounds a bit awkward to my ears. You can just call me Song or Tang, either one is fine!" To be honest, although outsiders often referred to him as the "genius director" or "genius Song", when someone addressed him directly like that, Song Tang still felt a bit uncomfortable. This was probably due to the Easterner's inner mindset. No matter what, Song Tang felt that being called that way was a bit too showy. After all, in his heart, being low-key was the best policy!

  "Heh heh, why so shy? Alright, Song!" Julia couldn't help but laugh after hearing Song Tang's words. "But, did you bring my script?"

  "Uh!" Looking at Julia's serious face, Song Tang suddenly had nothing to say.

  "Good heavens! You can't have forgotten?" Julia exclaimed in surprise, looking at Song Tang's embarrassed face.

  "How is that possible!" Song Tang was indeed told by Julia, since the Oscar awards ceremony with Julia said this thing after, Song Tang immediately forgot in the back of his mind, however, Song Tang did not want to admit this thing in front of the beauty, so he awkwardly said: "You know, Julia, these days I'm very busy, NO! Should say is extremely busy!"

  "Alright! I know you're busy, great director! Where's the script?" Julia gazed at Song Tang with a piercing stare, as if to say that she wouldn't let him off until he handed over the script.
