America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 883 - 844 City of Love_3

In this regard, Carly trusted the words of Taylor, the professional singer.

"La La Land" concluded its screening.

For ordinary spectators, watching a musical was primarily about the excitement; as long as the songs and dances were good and the story was passable, it made for a pleasurable viewing.

The applause in the venue was thunderous.

After the routine curtain call, the premiere dispersed.

Martin waited for a while before coming out of Chandler Pavilion and directly got into Taylor's car.

Apart from Taylor, Carly Kloss was also in the car.

Taylor started the car and said while driving, "I called Blake Lively, she will also come to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel later. You don't need to go home tonight, right?"

"There's no one at home." Martin stretched lazily, wrapping his arm around Carly who was also in the back seat, "I thought you weren't coming."

Carly suggested, "How about we go to your place tonight?"

Martin flatly rejected, "The hotel is better. I've booked the topmost floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel long-term and transformed it into a rooftop garden."

Carly immediately abandoned her previous idea and exclaimed, "That's great. We can go wild!"

Taylor shouted excitedly, "I'll scream towards the sky until the whole hotel hears it."

Carly grabbed Martin's hand and stuffed it into her arms, saying, "We'll make the headlines tomorrow."

Taylor didn't care, "I'll shout loudly, who will know who's shouting?"

Upon arriving at the hotel, Martin instructed Taylor to drive directly into the underground parking lot. The top-floor suite had a private elevator, and the three went straight upstairs.

Before the elevator reached the top, Blake Lively's call came through, she had already arrived.

A few minutes later, Martin was the first to reach the rooftop garden associated with the room. He turned on the lights, sat in an armchair, and patiently waited.

Not too long after, a unique fashion show began.

Three blonde long-legged girls, with model figures, wearing Victoria's Secret brought by Carly, performed a condensed version of the angel show.

That night, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's front desk received several complaints about mysterious women's screams incessantly coming through the open windows, disturbing their sleep.

Here under the starry sky, they practiced songs and dances, while the film's marketing progressed swiftly on the other hand.

The film was of good quality and adequately funded, hence received positive reviews.

That night, continuous praise echoed across various major media's online platforms.

Hollywood Reporter commented, "The film isn't perfect, but it is impeccable in style presentation and personality, enchanting throughout."

"Los Angeles Times" praised Martin and Silsa Ronan highly, "The subtle murmurs of the two actors were full of charm, and their performances were near perfect!"

Reviews on all aspects of the film were henceforth unembargoed, with Rotten Tomatoes initially yielding a freshness score of 97%.

Boosted by the positive reviews, "La La Land" began its widespread release across North America.

It had a blockbuster opening day, securing $22.75 million in box office proceeds.

IMDB score for the film was released, with an average viewer rating of 8.6.

Simultaneously as the audience's praise soared, the film's content sparked widespread discussion, especially on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram, revealing starkly different viewpoints about the female protagonist.

"La La Land," a story about a genuine guy and a green tea bitch."

"The male lead dreams of the heroine, but in the heroine's dreams, there is only herself."

"The heroine's dream isn't about art, but about becoming wealthy through stardom."

"Throughout the movie, both of the heroine's boyfriends became stepping stones in her life."

Similar opinions were abundant.

But as much as many criticized the heroine, an equal number supported her, particularly in the social context post-2010.

Left-leaning and feminist groups became the protagonist's largest support base.

"Under the heroine's pure dreams, everything else should feel ashamed."

"Rather than saying this is a romantic musical, it's better described as a pursuit of realistic dreams. In today's age, does anyone still think love is above all? In my view, the realization of a woman's personal value is far more significant than love."

"Some might say, love is above everything, without love, what meaning do dreams hold? But reality will awaken you, sacrificing your own dreams for another, how severe the consequences can be."

The online discussion was intensely fervent, quickly becoming a hot topic on social media.

The discussion even exceeded the confines of the movie, evolving into a debate about women's personal values.

"La La Land's" heroine, however, garnered even more support.

Because she chose to realize her life's value!

As is well known, movies in their release period are never afraid of being frequently discussed; what's feared most is lacking topics.

This burst of public opinion drove more people to watch "La La Land" in theaters.

By Saturday, the film's attendance rate had improved, and the daily box office receipts increased, ending the day at $25.41 million.

"La La Land's" first week of release in North America, across nearly 4000 theaters, grossed $67.21 million.
