Chapter 463 Independence Day Premiere
On July 4, the annual Independence Day of the United States, 219 years ago, the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted in Philadelphia, and began by stating that all men are created equal and have the natural right to pursue happiness and freedom, and finally solemnly proclaimed the independence of the United States of America from the United Kingdom.
John has no ambitions, and he can't do anything earth-shattering on such a big day, so he can only make some movies and have fun with the people, and make some money by the way.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the front of the Huaxia Grand Theater was full of reporters carrying long guns and short guns, as a director who has attracted much attention in Hollywood today, his new film will naturally attract countless media.
"Forrest Gump" has been released, with a global box office of $6.533 billion, as well as 16 Oscar nominations and 10 statuette awards, which makes people unable to raise the courage to challenge, although "Forrest Gump" is a public welfare film, and insiders have not put it in the box office list of film history, but no one will deny John's achievements, especially ordinary fans have listed John as a Hollywood director, and put him with Spielberg and Lucas...... and others were listed in the same stall, and he was also given the nickname "Demon Guide".
Therefore, in such a situation, it is difficult for John's new film not to attract attention.
"Demon Guide!"
"Demon Guide!"
When John appeared on the long red carpet wearing a costume made by Lafayette himself, fans on both sides immediately shouted, and the whole venue was shrouded in screams, and reporters were desperately pressing the cameras in their hands to take pictures of John at this moment.
John heard the fans on both sides calling the demon guide, smiling and waving his hand to say hello, although he didn't like the nickname of the demon guide very much, but he got used to it after a long time.
Walking across the red carpet to the poster signature wall, John took the pen, signed his name amid the screams, and then walked to the host stage to interact with the host.
"Enchantress, why would you want to make an alien movie?"
The host was invited by the new line, and the questions she asked were naturally communicated in the early stage, and no one wanted to have some discordant voices in such days.
"I like to look up at the stars, I am curious about space beyond the earth, and I often fantasize about what it looks like in those shining stars, so I filmed "Independence Day" with these curiosity, and I hope fans will enjoy it!"
After briefly answering the host's question, John left the host stage and walked towards the inside of the theater.
"Director Michael Bay, thank you for coming!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen Verona!"
"Hello Kate!"
Entering the theater, John greeted all the peers who came to cheer with a smile on his face, and his peers were like enemies, which was good, but there was another saying: Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high.
Today I will support you, tomorrow you will support mine, everyone helps each other, no one can suffer, after all, in Hollywood, the vanity fair, it is impossible to be alone, the kind of movie is released, the scene in front of the door will only prove that you are not popular and unconcerned, and will not prove how noble you are. In fact, the noble people will not engage in this profession.
After greeting everyone, John returned to his place with a stiff smile, and Eve Hugo, who was next to him, received a phone call and whispered something in his ear.
"Boss! I'll go out for a bit. ”
"Go ahead!"
After getting John's permission, Eve Hugo got up and walked out the door, and her friend Tammy was also a fan of John, so Eve Hugo gave her one of her tickets.
"Hi Tammy!"
Eve Hugo walked out the door and saw her friend Tammy waiting in line in the crowd to enter, so she walked over and led her into the theater.
"You're doing a pretty good job, at least I can find you if I want to see the premiere in the future. ”
Tammy walked with Eve Hugo in his arms, and said that the two had not seen each other for a long time, and they were very happy to see each other again.
"I can only get tickets for the premiere of the film of the demon director, and as for other directors, there is no way to do it yet. "Although Eve Hugo has been with John for a while, after all, she has just come to Hollywood, and her connections have not yet been established.
"But I think it's a pity to be in Hollywood with your talent, you should come to Wall Street, and I've passed the interview and officially become a part of Goldman Sachs, so you have to hurry, otherwise I may be an MD when you come to Wall Street." ”
"That's good! When I go to Goldman Sachs, you can follow me. ”
"Okay, no problem, I'll follow you when I become an MD. ”
Tammy patted her chest proudly, slapping her breasts so big that she couldn't see them, which was very attention-grabbing.
After settling Tammy, Eve Hugo said goodbye to Tammy for the time being, tonight was the premiere of "Independence Day", and as John's assistant, she couldn't stay with Tammy all the time.
The time came to seven o'clock, after everyone arrived, the lights in the theater went dark, and the people who came to attend the premiere today were all volunteers, except for the media, peers, film critics, and crew members, who helped promote and distribute ribbons in the theater when "Forrest Gump" was released, so it can be said that they completely sacrificed their summer vacation time to do public welfare, so in order to thank these people, John decided to invite them to the premiere of "Independence Day".
After the lights of the theater went dark, the whole theater gradually fell silent, and everyone knew that the movie had begun.
When the production team's opening credits were played, the picture became the surface of the moon, and after a jolt, a huge shadow came from afar, gradually enveloping the moon, and then a spaceship appeared in the eyes of everyone, all the way through the moon, moored in front of the blue earth.
Later, the film uses parallel montage to descend alien spacecraft in front of humans, New York, Los Angeles, Moscow, London, Paris, Egypt...... , all the familiar landmarks are shrouded in the shadow of alien spaceships.
And when the fiery red cloud disappeared, the alien spaceship finally revealed its true appearance, everyone was stunned by its appearance, and the city suddenly became chaotic, full of rear-end cars, jumping crowds, fallen children, and white-collar ...... fleeing for their lives.
Such special effects may not be much in the future, but they are the most advanced technology in the present, so advanced that the audience sitting in the theater will believe that the ships are real, not computer-made.
"Oh...... God!"
Hela, who was sitting in the theater, clenched her fists tightly, looked at the alien spaceship on the screen and exclaimed involuntarily, Jimmy on the side was no better than her, and the moment she saw the alien spaceship, she stared at the screen motionlessly.
At this point in the movie, John quietly turned his head to look at the audience behind him, wanting to see everyone's reaction at the moment, but when he saw that there were people covering their mouths, some people clasping hands, some people exclaiming, and some people stunned in the whole venue, he turned his head back and continued to look at the screen with satisfaction.
If the special effects of "Forrest Gump" belong to the gentle drizzle and moisturizing things silently, then the special effects of "Independence Day" belong to the storm, which is unconcealed, with strong destructiveness all the way from the depths of people's hearts, leaving a deep imprint.
And in order to achieve such an effect, John did not hesitate to exceed $15 million, but after seeing the expressions of these people, John felt that the money was well spent.
