Chapter 91 Birthday Party
Chapter 91 Birthday Party
Ronald asked Gene carefully before he knew what his plan was.
It turned out that Jean's neighbors were actually very unfriendly to him.His mother was a businessman, and he was a dancing B-boy known to many neighbors as Kee.
During this period of time, Gene only appeared at home on weekends. Many people called him a fag. He went to work as a midnight cowherd on weekdays to earn money to buy new clothes.
Gene tried his best to confess, saying that he was making a film on the film crew and was about to become a movie star, and Lucy also testified for him.
But none of the black boys in the neighborhood believed his statement.They would rather believe the Midnight Cowboy story they imagined than believe that the boy they laughed at would become the black-skinned John Travolta.
Driven by his self-esteem, Gene invited everyone to celebrate his birthday at home, and wanted his colleagues to testify for him.But unexpectedly, everyone's fear of various legends in Harlem caused today's embarrassing scene.
Ronald said he would go back with him and identify him to his neighbors.
"It's useless, Ronnie. It's not that I don't believe in your kindness to me. It's just that these 'bros', who only believe in their own ideas, don't think I'm a Really came out on top."
Ronald patted him on the shoulder, comforted Gene, and the two walked out of the shooting scene together.
Alan Parker saw the crowd's indifference to Gene and Ronald's comfort to him. "Where's the list for tomorrow's shooting?" He turned around and shouted to the assistant director.
……
"Our movie will be launched in Europe next month. If you want, you can audition for the leading actress with me. I think you are very talented."
"Antonia!" Ronald called Antonia who was avoiding harassment by a man on the road, "Can you help me?"
The man was obviously Italian in appearance, and he took out a business card and handed it to Ronald: "Don't get me wrong, I'm a director, and I just want to find your friend to make a movie. I have no malicious intentions."
"If you're a film director, you should know that you can't contact the actors directly, but you should find their agent." Ronald smiled coldly, tore up the business card and threw it on the ground.
Gene caught up from behind, outflanked the man's back, and made a muscle-showing gesture.
Seeing that he might be invincible, the man started to retreat: "No, I don't mean anything malicious, I just want to invite your friends to make a movie." Then he turned and walked away quickly.
"Fuxk you" Gene gestured at him.
"Antonia, are you okay? How could this happen? Isn't this the plot of the movie? Does this person want you to make that kind of movie?" Ronald was a little bit dumbfounded, who knew the plot of the movie would happen in reality In life.
"This is our daily life. It is very close to Times Square. I used to meet them often when I was studying at the performing arts college next door.
They'll follow you all the way home, and they won't force you.It's just constantly tempting you. If you want to be famous and fall for their tricks, then it's similar to CoCo in the movie. "
"Why, did you also go to the Academy of Performing Arts? Why don't I know."
"Remember what I told you, I was in 'Grease'? I was one of 10 dancers in New York who were chosen, I was 16, got a friend to make a fake birth certificate for the movie ..."
Antonia was very chatty when she saw Ronald, and the two of them and Gene walked along the road to the parking lot.
"...I danced really well, and they added me to the prom scene, dancing behind them.
...Then 'Grease' was released, and the high school of acting knew that I went to the film crew privately while I was studying, so I was expelled, and I got a scholarship from the American Ballet School, and used the film salary to pay for living expenses. "
When they reached the place where Ronald parked, the three found Lucy again.It turned out that she also came out to find Jean.The four looked at each other and laughed. Ronald proposed to have dinner again to celebrate Gene's birthday.
"You will succeed, Gene. I feel that this movie will be a big hit." Antonia comforted him when she knew that Gene was being treated coldly.
"Why do you say this movie will be a hit?" Ronald asked.
"I can feel the real power of others. Director Allen is very good at distinguishing which plots are real and which plots are fabricated. I think the movie will become popular."
"Cheers!" Gene was very happy, picked up Coke and clinked glasses with everyone.Now he loves to hear it.
"What do you think? Ronnie? Can our movie become popular?" Gene still believed in Ronald the most.
"I don't know if the movie will be popular, but most of the audience who watch this kind of movie come for the hot dancing and singing in it. Our dance shooting today is very exciting, so the box office should be good." Rona De forked a piece of food into his mouth.
"In the movie 'High School of Rock' I was involved in, every time the Ramones started playing, the audience started clapping and stomping their feet." Ronald took another sip of Coke.
"A lot of viewers still watch exciting things. For example, strong songs they haven't heard before, hot dances they haven't seen, so that they can tell which songs and dances are good when they go back and recommend them to their friends."
"For example, now I can tell you, 'Rock High', which theme song the Ramones sang is good, and the girls dance in the gym room. It's worth watching. Then they will say , The dance in the famous canteen was good."
"Then let's go and see, I didn't see it last time I wanted to see it." Antonia said.
"4 tickets to 'High School of Rock'."
"Here you are" The conductor handed out four coupons from the window.
"Are there many people watching?" Ronald wanted to inquire about the box office situation.
"Listen to yourself." The conductor pointed to the hall.
There was a rumbling stomp, and then another cheer.
Is it so hot?So exciting.Ronald thought that his share seemed promising.
When the 4-person show started, they sat in the screening hall with Coke and popcorn.
The "Vince Lombardi High School" sign at the beginning was taken by Ronald and Cameron together.The sun was shining on the teaching building, and director Alan Ekush funnyly dubbed the bird call, as if saying "Cheap! Cheap!", satirizing Roger Coleman's stinginess.
Ronald laughed out loud, which attracted the glaring glances of the surrounding audience.This guy is afraid that he is not mentally handicapped, so he smirks at the beginning.
"Ah, this passage is so beautiful." Antonia couldn't help saying it when she saw the scene of the rebellious girl Liv and the schoolmaster Kate walking together in the sunset directed by Ronald.
"Hahaha... is this mustache you? It's so funny, Ronald, you're not my type." Gene exaggeratedly exclaimed.
"Boom, the roof was blown up in the end, and the principal was stunned." The three of them shouted and cheered together with the audience.
Ronald, who has watched it countless times, doesn't feel much, but seeing everyone's love for certain plots, Ronald is still very happy.
"Ronald, that's your name, look." Antonia shook his arm, pointing to the special thanks on the screen.
"I also want to leave a name on the screen." This is Gene speaking.
