The concept of a premiere was born long ago, but it didn't take on special significance until after the simultaneous global premiere of "Star Wars".
Before this, the premiere was just a public occasion to tell all the audience that "a new movie is officially released", which is concise and clear; now, the premiere is a highly commercial ceremony, and the rich crew even spends a lot of money Tens of millions of dollars to create a premiere, invite reporters, invite celebrity guests, invite enthusiastic fans, truly transform the premiere into a show, become an important part of the public relations process, and contribute to the next commercial harvest of the work. lay the groundwork.
Considering that the level of TV series and movies are far from each other, only HBO TV station and only two works such as "Band of Brothers" and "Pacific War" are specially held for the premiere of TV series in the world; not only that, the ceremony is also selected in Hollywood's hottest and biggest premiere location, the Chinese/Chinese Theater. The industry appeal of the two big names Tom and Steven is evident.
However, these are only strengths on paper. After all, hearing about them still does not have enough sense of reality. When the grand scene at the entrance of the Chinese/Chinese Theater came into view, Renly really understood the meaning of this premiere.
Sitting in the black stretched car dispatched by HBO TV, looking out the window, a mighty crowd stood on the crosswalks on both sides of Hollywood Boulevard. The spacious four-lane road had been blocked by iron railings and became a two-lane, densely packed. The crowd crowded both sides of the road to the point where it looked like there were at least seven or eight hundred people.
The crowd held stills and posters of "Band of Brothers" in their hands, covering their eyes, making people deeply feel that even after nine years have passed, this series is still very popular. Occasionally, you can see the propaganda posters of "Pacific War", but there are not many figures of the character posters, and they are almost submerged in the familiar faces of "Band of Brothers".
After passing the Kodak Theater and the Captain's Theater, the iconic temple roof of the Chinese/Chinese Theater appeared within sight. It is paved all the way across the road. As the most distinctive landmark in Hollywood, the Chinese/Chinese Theatre not only reflects Westerners' understanding of Chinese/Chinese culture, but also becomes the number one venue for major premieres. The handprints and signatures of outstanding filmmakers are concentrated on the cement floor at the entrance, which contrasts with the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of them.
At this time, there were countless reporters standing neatly on both sides of the red carpet, and rows of neatly arranged cannon barrels were aimed at the stretch platform passage in the center. The lineup of more than 60 reporters filled their sights. The water was blocked, and the huge and hollow shots were like the mouths of giant beasts, opening their bloody mouths, ready to devour everything that appeared in front of them.
The sky is full of heat, and the surging crowd is like an army of thousands of horses. You can clearly hear the sound of golden horses and iron horses. The grandeur and magnificence of Hollywood is slowly unfolding in front of you like a picture scroll.
This is just the premiere of a TV show.
Taking a deep breath, Renly opened the car door and stepped on the soft red carpet with his feet. He felt the sense of down-to-earth reality. He raised his hand to button the suit and straightened his waist. , and then set off on his first red carpet tour.
At this time, the red carpet was already very lively. Not far away, you could see David Nutt and Jon Seda just walking up the roadside steps. The reporter on the left stopped the two and conducted a brief briefing. interview, and apparently they arrived at the scene just before Renly.
The red carpet on the right was boiling hot at this time, with Ron-Livingston, Donnie-Wahlberg, Kirk-Acevedo and others They were all surrounded by a group of "Band of Brothers" teams. I didn't expect to attend the premiere exclusively today.
In the crowd, Alexander-Skarsgard was accidentally glimpsed. Renly thought he was blinded, but he didn't expect to see the petite Anna-Paquin. The body, surrounded by reporters, showed a bright smile.
Renly then realized that another popular HBO series "True Blood", the whole crew came to join in.
Unfamiliar and familiar faces were surging in front of his eyes, Ren Li stepped up to meet him with steady steps, and the restlessness swarming from all directions surrounded him. For a week, Renly was fumbling around on the red carpet—should he slow down and show himself? Or should we go to the side to party with the crowd? Or go to the front to communicate with reporters? Or go to the door of the theater and stand with the rest of the crew
Without the guidance of his agent, Renly had the illusion of being out of place and at a loss, as if... as if the screams and shouts of fans did not belong to him, as if the positivity and initiative of the reporters did not notice him, on the surging red carpet , he couldn't fit into it, and that weird loneliness swept over.
However, Renly's footsteps were not flustered, and he remained calm and moved forward in an orderly manner. I clearly understand in my heart that this is Hollywood, and this is the real world. As a complete newcomer, let alone the audience, even the reporters may not be able to name him, so this kind of treatment is really normal.
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly drew up, the awkward alienation gradually disappeared, and he began to gradually adapt to the atmosphere and rhythm of the red carpet. The feeling of standing under the spotlight is not bad.
Bradley-Adams had just finished his interview with David-Schwimmer when several reporters rushed over.
After the end of "Friends", the actor's career fell into silence. "Band of Brothers" is his only widely known work. More often, he has now gone behind the scenes and attended the premiere today. , we naturally hope to dig some more news.
Bradley looked down at the pictures in his camera, flipped through them, and then raised the camera again, aimed at the beginning of the red carpet, waiting for the next subject of interview value to appear. As a senior reporter for the entertainment page of the "New York Times", his focus is naturally different from "Entertainment Weekly", "USA Today", "TMZ" and other entertainment gossip media.
A tall and upright man appeared in the camera. He was wearing an army green suit. In the oppressive tones of black and gray, he looked unique and outstanding, and it also matched the theme of the "Pacific War". The black shirt is docile and matches the suit naturally. The first button of the suit is buttoned up, which outlines the proportion of the body with wide shoulders and waist. The slender legs easily grab the attention of the eye. ; A short golden brown hair with slightly curly hair was combed into retro 28 points with hair wax, and the whole face was presented in a refreshing and sparse manner, and the charm between gestures and gestures had a special charm that could not be accurately described in words.
If you want to say that this man is earth-shatteringly handsome, it is estimated that many reporters will roll their eyes directly. Alexander Skarsgard, who also appeared on the red carpet, was the second winner of the world's sexiest man last year. Everyone The aesthetics are completely different, which is also doomed to different viewing angles.
But Bradley couldn't help but pressed the shutter in his hand, trying to use film to record the moment when time stood still, as if... just like the moment when fireworks bloom, everyone likes the gorgeousness of fireworks, but they understand The fireworks are fleeting, the ultimate beauty makes people happy, but also makes people sigh.
Who is this
Question marks appeared in Bradley's mind, but the shutter in his hand couldn't stop at all. When he realized that the person had gone over his head, he subconsciously shouted, "Wait." No address, no object, the other party would naturally not stop, and the surrounding noise engulfed Bradley in a blink of an eye. the sound of.
"You're here!" Rami, who was already standing at the entrance of the theater, hurried up to greet him, and gave Renly a big hug excitedly, "I was thinking just now, when will you arrive."
Today Lamy is wearing a three-piece suit, which is very formal. A black suit, black vest, black tie, and a white shirt are matched. It is standard for a typical formal occasion, but the use of the vest still takes some small thoughts.
"My Healing Game"
Seeing Rami's serious appearance, Renly couldn't help laughing, "You look like you're going to appear in court." The mocking words made Rami roll his eyes helplessly, waiting for Rami to respond, beside him Then came the voice, "Rami, Rami!"
Bradley quickly crossed the line of his colleagues and walked to Lamy's side. Since there were no reporters around who cared about Renly's identity, Bradley's movements were effortless - the scene was too lively and too busy. Confusion, even though the appearance of a nameless and unfamiliar face like Renly is somewhat attractive, this is Hollywood, and everyone has their own characteristics. How could reporters care? Even Marilyn-Monroe went through a long and unknown period of nearly five years after her debut.
"Rami, won't you introduce me to this one?" Bradley asked quickly.
Rami, who didn't know Bradley but did recognize the New York Times logo on Bradley's backpack, smiled, "Renly Hall, one of our three leads."
The brief introduction made Bradley suddenly realize that the newcomer, the newcomer without any acting experience, the rumored name finally matched his number. Bradley's eyes could not help but light up, but such a newcomer was caught Steven fancy, as the "Pacific War" starring, can be described as soaring. The news highlights came out immediately.
However, before Bradley could continue to speak, there was an uncontrollable scream at the beginning of the red carpet, and everyone glanced at it: Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg arrived at the scene !
