Walking through the lively red carpet, Eric took the girl to sign a photo in front of the photo wall in the theater lobby, and then walked to the waiting room where the main creators and guests of the theater were temporarily waiting.
Most of the people have already arrived, and when they saw Eric and Drew appear, everyone greeted them.
Eric embraced the three daughters of Charlize in gorgeous dresses one by one, and praised with a smile: "Girls, you are so beautiful today."
Looking at the men whose wealth and power have become more and more unattainable these years, the three daughters of Charlize feel that the scene of secretly smoking a cigarette and being caught by Eric on the spot seems to have happened a long time ago, and it is inevitable that some Sigh.
Both Charlize and Penelope knew that the past could not be recalled, and those beautiful memories at the beginning might never happen again, so they were very polite and respectful to Eric.
Kate, whose actual personality is by no means like the three-none girl Selena in the movie, looked at the girl who was holding Eric's arm affectionately, but felt a little sour, and couldn't help saying: "Eric, we are still girls, but you Talking is getting more and more old-fashioned."
Hearing Kate's obviously appetizing tone, the expressions of everyone around were a little weird for a moment.
Over the years, Eric has gradually discovered that he is not suitable for the kind of life surrounded by a bunch of women.
In Hollywood, where there is no shortage of beauty resources, those sexy goddesses who were once sought after by countless men have no sense of mystery to Eric, and they even get what they want, and gradually become a little numb. He also deeply understands why Hollywood and the fashion circle will There are so many gays.
At this time, Eric could only pretend not to hear Kate's sour tone, and joked: "There is no way, I am a big shot now."
Everyone laughed softly, and Kate also realized that what she just said was a bit inappropriate, but she just rolled her eyes slightly.
After a friendly exchange of greetings, the staff began to inform everyone to enter the screening hall.
Although Eric still has the title of screenwriter and executive producer in this sequel, he doesn't plan to go on stage today, but just as a guest to watch the interaction between the main creators and the audience.
This continued until seven o'clock, when the lights in the hall were dimmed, and the screening of the film officially began. All eyes turned to the big screen.
After MGM's iconic title sequence, the scene quickly cuts to a disco blaring with deafening music.
Lucy Ni, played by Penelope, is wearing a set of shiny short skirts and cruising in the crowded crowd coquettishly, her sexy body glides past several strong men who obviously look like thugs.
The whistling electric sound suddenly sounded, and a helpless voice said, "Lu'er, stop playing, go up and help."
Lucy Ni looked at the camera on the ceiling in the corner of the disco, pressed the wireless headset in her ear, and then raised her other hand to show a walkie-talkie in her hand: "Isn't this helpful? There are so many messy things here. Fish, if they rush up together, we will be in trouble."
Saying so, Lucini walked all the way to the stairs in the corner.
Compared with the carnival on the first floor, the second floor seems to be more 'lively'. There are thugs lying here and there in the corridor, walking past the dead crowd with disgust. At the end of the corridor, there is a sudden loud bang. The door panel flew out.
"Tsk, this is really violent." With a 'cold war', Lucini unceremoniously kicked the strong man who was still moaning on the ground unconscious, and walked into the office at the end of the corridor where the door had been destroyed .
In the office, Selena, played by Kate, stood coldly in the middle of the room in a strong outfit.
A chubby middle-aged man, like a little girl about to be raped, curled up in the corner tremblingly and begged for mercy in a non-stop tone: "There are 20,000 dollars in the cabinet, and the credit card password in my wallet is six. You can take my suit if you want, it’s Armani’s and you can sell it for a lot of money, and the watch I bought in Italy, I’m just an accountant and I don’t know anything, don’t kill me…”
In the screening hall, watching Wayne Knight, who played the unlucky programmer in "Jurassic Park", look so bad, the audience couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Why do I feel like I've been robbed of my lines?" Lucy Ni also walked up to the fat man with a smile, and said a cold joke that fans of the "Charlie's Angels" series can easily dissociate, and then said: "Mr. Malden, Stop pretending, tell me where the safe is obediently, or I will ask her to ask?"
Lucy Ni said, pointing to Selena behind her.
Hearing Lucini call out his real name, the fat man immediately put away his expression of begging for mercy, and involuntarily glanced at a painting on the wall, but there was a bit of cunning in his expression.
Suddenly, the voice came out again from the earphone: "The desk seems to be moved frequently, move it away and have a look."
Hearing this, Luxini stretched out her hand and pushed towards the mahogany desk beside her. The desk looked very heavy, but with a little force from Luxini, the desk slid to the side, revealing a safe embedded in the ground.
"Hey, do you guys know what you're doing?"
Seeing Luxini's movements, the fat man suddenly became very excited, his face bounced off the ground fiercely, but he fell to the ground with a plop when he was hit by a sharp elbow from Selena.
At this time, Jill's voice sounded again in the headset: "Someone is coming up, many people."
Lucini, who was half-squatting on the ground to check the safe, looked up and met Selena's eyes: "Give me two minutes."
Selena nodded slightly, and walked out of the office quickly, facing the large number of thugs rushing to the second floor.
At this point in the plot, in fact, less than two minutes have passed.
Originally, I just saw a scene where a minion was indirectly thrown out of the office door by the powerful Lucini. Some fans at the scene were a little disappointed, thinking that there would be no too hot fighting scenes in the prologue this time.
However, in the next three minutes, accompanied by the hot music in the disco downstairs, under the cool montage editing, Selena once again showed her powerful skills to the fullest.
When Jill, played by Charlize, came out in a helicopter at the end, lifting Selena and Lucini, who completed the task, to fly away in the bright lights of Los Angeles, all the movie fans in the screening hall couldn't help being hooked.
Even some conservative film critics who are not interested in action movies can't help but secretly nod to this carefully set prologue.
Experts look at the doorway, but in this short five-minute prelude, these film critics can feel that the producer has spent a lot of thought, not only the carefully crafted action design, but also the scenes of the three heroines are also arranged just right. The unique style of the Charlie's Angels series is vividly displayed.
Although the great fusion of the agent movie universe has started, in order to avoid the aesthetic fatigue of the audience caused by the homogenization of styles, the three series have maintained very distinctive features.
007 mainly focuses on various high-tech props and Bond's tough gentleman style, and of course there is no shortage of Bond girls with a variety of styles.
The "Mission: Impossible" series pays attention to challenging the limit, and uses various plot settings to tense the minds of the audience.
Although the last "Charlie's Angels" has three protagonists, Selena's toughness, Jill's genius, and Lucy's often unbearable thoughts are firmly engraved in the audience's impression.
In addition, there are a series of small details such as Buick cars, dad terriers, etc., coupled with a perfect world view background setting, the characteristics of the "Charlie's Angels" series can be said to be the most distinctive.
After the prologue, after a few minutes of titles, the plot finally entered the theme.
John, the contact person played by Morgan Freeman, received the information that the three women got from the fat man, and did not explain too much to them, but told the three heroines that due to the incident on the British island last time, the detective affairs So they may have gotten into some troubles. In order to ensure the safety of the three girls, Charlie, the boss behind the scenes, needs the three of them to hide temporarily before solving the troubles.
Seeing this, most viewers realized that what Charlie Detective Agency provoked was undoubtedly the Spectre, and some more sensitive movie fans thought of Charlie's vacation cabin being bombed and smashed at the end of last year's "Casino Royale". Easter eggs, you can roughly guess the direction of the next plot.
Efforts by Charlie's Detective Agency to solve the trouble were apparently failing.
What follows is a period of more than ten minutes of literary drama.
Under the arrangement of the detective agency, all three girls got a job of concealing their identities.
Jill was assigned to an Internet company, listening to the practical but incompetent boss who seemed to be possessed all day long boasting about the company's listing prospects, and at the same time, he had to be wary of the salty pig's hand that the other party extended from time to time.
Lucini went to work as a waitress in a top-notch restaurant, and she always endured the strong temptation to stuff those expensive silver tableware into her pocket.
Selena works as a promoter in a clothing store and is often mistaken for a mannequin.
Although it is a literary play, the strong contrast between the three protagonists and their actual identities gave all audiences a sense of substitution, so it didn't look boring at all.
On the other hand, in the opening prologue, the disco that the three women break into is actually a stronghold of the Spectre Party in the United States.
The document that the three women got from the fat man's safe was actually a list of members of the Spectre Party.
Based on this, Charlie Detective Agency tries to cooperate with the FBI to wipe out the Spectre Party and solve the trouble the firm accidentally caused once and for all.
Although the operation was successful, everyone still far underestimated the potential strength of Spectre.
The people on that list are still just a peripheral branch of the Specter Party.
Then came the scene in the easter egg of "Casino Royale 007". The behind-the-scenes boss of the firm, Charlie, was revenged by the Spectre. Going to the rescue, all you see is a holiday cabin that has been bombed into ruins.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Charlie Townsend.
Now that the conflict between the two parties has become a deadly feud, Charlie arranges for the three girls to continue investigating the details of the Spectre.
During the subsequent tracking process, the three women had a misunderstanding with another team of agents who were also investigating the Specter.
This is naturally the Impossible Mission team led by Ethan Hunt.
After a confrontation, the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved. Under the guidance of the clues given by Ethan Hunt, the three women once again rushed to another base of the Spectre Party for the final decisive battle of this sequel.
After careful analysis, the plot setting of this sequel is not too delicate, the standard high-concept movie mode.
However, with the support of the complete background world view of "Charlie's Angels", coupled with the interludes of the other two series of plots, as well as countless commendable easter eggs and foreshadowing settings, the fun for the audience is far more than that of other single scripts that do not have much background and plot. High-concept films of the same type supported by popularity.
Just like this sequel, in the final battle against the Specter, Eric set up a very secret easter egg, and a document written "Stumbling Block Project" appeared on the desk of the villain in this episode.
Although the relevant shots are just a glimpse, Eric believes that this hidden easter egg will eventually be unearthed by fanatical fans.
"Stumbling Block Project" naturally leads to the "Bourne Shadow" series.
As for the plan appearing on the desk of the Spectre villain, it was not a forced plot.
According to the original novel, the "Stumbling Block Project" was informed by the villain of relevant information, which eventually led to the leak of the entire plan, the disbandment of the team, and Bourne's anonymity.
Therefore, it is natural and reasonable for the more powerful and intertwined Spectre to obtain information about the stumbling block plan.
After defeating the enemies of this sequel, at the end of the film, there will naturally be no lack of regular easter eggs, which will be a warm-up promotion for "Mission: Impossible 3" at the end of the year.
Although in recent years, some film critics have criticized the Agent Movie Universe series for overusing these 'tricks'.
But there is no doubt that, just like the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, these small tricks have gathered a lot of popularity and attention for the entire series.
In all fairness, the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are definitely not too good. Most of them are just average popcorn special effects blockbusters.
But they use this series of ingenious commercialization methods to gather the popularity of all the series in the whole plan, and finally get the effect that one plus one is far greater than two, and they have achieved a huge commercial achievement that all film companies are extremely envious of. success.
This "Charlie's Angels 3", whether it is the quality of the film or the publicity of the film, MGM has done its best. From the ultra-high production cost of 160 million US dollars, we can see the company's excellence. Therefore, the premiere Li also naturally everyone succeeded.
As soon as the film was over and the lights came on, there was warm applause in the theater hall.
After the main creators came on stage again to express their thanks, the premiere officially ended.
Eric took the girl to make a brief appearance at the following premiere party, and then left early.
Observing the reaction of fans and film critics at today's premiere, Eric has no worries about the film's box office prospects.
The next day, at Angle Manor, Eric woke up early in the morning and got the news that "Charlie's Angels 3" broke the North American midnight box office record without any suspense.
In the restaurant, a girl in a vest and shorts was lying on the dining table, looking at the box office data report in front of her, her tone was extremely excited: "12.5 million US dollars, it's really amazing, it's completely higher than "The Matrix 2" Two and a half million dollars."
Eric was holding last week's box office data in his hand. Looking at the girl's proud appearance, he smiled and poured cold water: "There is no need to be so proud. The "Star Wars Episode" at the end of the year will definitely break this record easily. .”
"Hehe, I don't want to compare with the Star Wars series, but I heard that the internal test screening of the first prequel was not good at all. It is said that Queen Amidala's appearance is very ugly. Lucas this time Might screw it up."
