Entering May, the weather in Los Angeles is getting hotter and hotter, but everyone has long ignored the changes in the weather, because the upcoming summer vacation has not yet begun, and super blockbusters from major film companies have already begun to be released.
Among the many big movies worth looking forward to, the most eye-catching is the period blockbuster "Gladiator" produced by Universal Pictures and directed by great director Ridley Scott.
Director Ridley can be said to be a golden name in the Hollywood directing world. His reputation is no less than that of the four famous directors such as Spielberg. He is best at science fiction films and has directed "Blade Runner" and "Alien".
Both of these films have become classics in the history of Hollywood science fiction. Especially the film "Blade Runner", which was invested by Hong Kong's Run Run Run Run Shaw in 1982 and was only completed after filming. This film uses a noir detective film technique to explore a philosophical issue.
The theme of the film is the relationship between human beings and replicants. Although it did not receive much attention at the time and the box office performance was mediocre, it was not until the early 1990s that this film was released in the family market and was recognized and recognized by the public.
A monumental classic masterpiece in the history of science fiction films. The film was nominated for two Oscars, and Ridley Scott also became a major science fiction film director.
But now Ridley seems to be tired of the fantasy of science fiction movies, and has begun to like the majesty of epic movies, so he made this epoch-making epic movie "Gladiator".
It is said that in order to film this movie, director Ridley did his homework, rummaged through all the books on ancient Roman history in the library, and even went to Nanjing University to find a professional professor in this field to ask for advice on the arena.
It can be said that this is an excellent director who is meticulous and striving for perfection. The drama he has shot now will definitely become a masterpiece. What's more, Russell Crowe, who stars in this drama, is not an ordinary person. He is a well-known actor in Hollywood. 6
I started acting when I was only 18 years old. I started trying to play the leading role when I was 18 years old. Now I am 36 years old and have accumulated countless experiences.
For filming, I even lost weight, exercised muscles, and practiced horse riding and archery...
It can be said that the addition of Russell Crowe makes this drama very deep and thick. It is not just a simple costume drama. In the words of director Ridley to Russell Crowe, "We are making history, man!"
As a film company that produces and distributes, Universal also has high hopes for this drama. Especially after watching the sample film of this drama, the senior management directly made a decision and vigorously promoted it, striving to win the Olympics!
Facts have proved that Universal's decision was correct. After the promotion of "Gladiator" began, countless fans began to talk about this movie, especially the exciting war scenes and duel scenes in the trailer.
All gave it high praise.
"God, this will be the most epic epic blockbuster I have ever seen! Spartan foot fighters, rise up!" --- A film critic in Los Angeles
"Although this drama has not been released yet, the magnificent scenes and majestic momentum have already stunned those of us who like action scenes. We can firmly believe that this drama will definitely become the champion of this summer vacation. Yes,
Definitely!---a movie fan in New York
"This is not just an action movie. Please take a look at the behind-the-scenes of this movie. There are also palace battles and historical accumulation. It can be said that any commercial elements are included, so this movie will undoubtedly be a hit.
!”---A team in Chicago
…
Along with this situation of fans collectively complaining after watching the movie, it can be said that this "Gladiator" has already taken the lead before it is released, and it can be said that the aura of a blockbuster movie is fully demonstrated.
Just when everyone was anticipating and unanimously applauding "Gladiator", news came that the animated film "Speed Snail" jointly produced by Fantasy Pictures and Paramount was about to be released... But this is not the most exciting thing. After all, it is
No matter how many cartoons there are, it can't shake the leading position of "Gladiator", but the next news is... this drama will premiere at Chicago's Fox River Penitentiary!
All of a sudden!
It's like the calm sea ignited hundreds of tons of explosives buried deep in the sea!
The entire Hollywood, no, the entire American film industry was shaken up by this bombshell news!
Huge waves!
Since the advent of movies, there have been countless premieres, and there have been countless premieres in various ways... But, who has ever seen a premiere in a prison?!
Don't you feel bad about it?
Don’t you think it’s too perverted?!
But ---Hollywood itself is a place that welcomes perverts!
The media, in particular, put aside the newly popular "Gladiator" and began to report aggressively on "Speed Snail".
"Prison Office Premiere, Snail Reverse Nerve!"
"Only if you can't think of it, no snail can do it!"
"Dream teamed up with Paramount and the prison premiere was a success!"
…
Suddenly, the news announcing the drama "Speed Snail" was overwhelming!
So much so that the popularity of the drama "Snail" was instantly raised to a boiling point, putting many super blockbusters to shame!
Of course, there are also some American media that promote controversy and rationality, and have expressed sharp opinions on the "Chicago Prison Premiere".
"Hype! This is naked hype! What a bullshit prison premiere. Anyone with a little bit of brains will know that this is a very low-level and boring hype method. The purpose is to attract everyone's attention and let us
Go pay attention to this damn cartoon! Dear friends, please wake up and don’t be blinded by such despicable methods again!”
It's okay if this comment is not published. Once it is published, it is like throwing a red-hot soldering iron directly into the water. There is a loud sound and thick white smoke rises!
Steaming heat!
The water in Hollywood is boiling even more!
…
While outside public opinion is abuzz, Fantasy Pictures and Paramount are speeding up preparations to move to Chicago for the premiere of "Speed".
Fortunately, this is a cartoon, so there is no need to go to great lengths to package and transport the male and female stars in the movie to Chicago. All it takes is a light truck and a simple package with the master tapes for projection and some formalities and equipment required for the premiere.
The preservation of the master tapes of premiere movies has always been a top priority, especially in events that are not released simultaneously around the world. The audiences who can see the master tapes are the luckiest first viewers.
This time, the premiere of "Speed Snail" was not the usual global synchronization. It premiered three days early in Chicago Prison, and three days later, global audiences could see this cartoon.
Why do this?!
Of course, this still means Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang's intention is very simple, that is, to let the media who have criticized the company's "prison premiere" as a hype see whether this is a real "premiere"!
The concept of premieres has always been to be shown in one place first, and then can be seen in other places after a while; however, with the changes of the times, the style of premieres has become more and more formal, and many so-called premieres are basically simultaneous
Screening, or a difference of one or two hours is also called "premiere".
Yi Feiyang is "retro" and wants to have a real "premiere"!
However, compared to simultaneous releases, in Hollywood movie premieres over the years, there are many bad situations such as missing, stolen, and destroyed master tapes. Once the master tape is lost, you can't make a copy. Without the copy, what else can you release?
!
Someone here again said why the master tapes were used for the premiere, when some copies could have been made... In fact, this is the point of the "premiere" in the true sense. Premiering with the original master tapes is not as good as the audience.
See the original new film, and you can guarantee that what everyone sees is definitely the first example!
This is just like the skyrocketing purchase of new literature from the Republic of China in previous lives. The most demanding thing is one edition and one print!
Of course, in order to ensure the success of this premiere and the safety of the master tapes, Paramount not only purchased a huge amount of insurance, but also provided Yi Feiyang with escort bodyguards...a tall black man with a burly body like a bear leopard,
His eyes are as sharp as a falcon, and I heard he was from the CIA.
The name of this black bodyguard is Kane, and he now works in the Paramount Security Department as the security director. In the words of Paramount Ramon’s boss, he is a capable guy with agile skills and a sharp mind. The most important thing is that he is worth it.
trust.
Just like that, on April 30, Yi Feiyang flew to Chicago by helicopter with Fat Jack, bodyguard Kane, and prepared master tapes and premiere equipment. The cartoon "Speed Snail" will be released in May.
Premiere at Fox River Prison on September 2nd!
A dangerous situation occurred during the flight. The plane encountered strong air currents, causing it to bump in the air. Yi Yang, who has always considered himself a hero and fearless of everything, became frightened, especially because he felt that flying on such an iron lump in the sky was too much.
It was dangerous. At that moment, he thought of his parents in Hong Kong, as well as Anne Hathaway, Jessica and others.
Yi Feiyang read a book, which said that the people people think of in times of crisis are usually the people they like or love.
Mom, Dad, and Annie are still talking about the past. As for Jessica, Yi Feiyang really doesn’t know why he suddenly thinks of her. It seems that he and her are very wrong. This little girl has too many scheming thoughts, and it’s not him.
My favorite type, but why...why do you think of her in times of crisis?
Yi Feiyang was puzzled.
After the plane passed through the strong airflow, it gradually stabilized. Look at Kane, the black man with an unchanging expression. He is easily ashamed. This is a real man!
If I had to praise Kane in one sentence, it would be that his appearance remains unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai!
Looking at Fat Jack again, Yi Feiyang felt a little less ashamed. This guy was so frightened that he almost peed his pants!
Therefore, you still have to compare yourself with others, otherwise you will be depressed to death in front of a strong person.
