500 for one person only
This is not the first time Lan Li has attended the premiere, but it is the first time that Lan Li has attended the premiere of a movie.
Just a year ago, "Pacific War" held its premiere at the Chinese Theater, which was the first real appearance of Lan Li, thanks to the introduction of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, he was a little beautiful in front of the media, but after all, it was only the premiere of a TV series, even if HBO TV was held exactly according to the specifications of the movie premiere, there was still a gap in the far-reaching impact of the movie.
A year later, "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" once again chose the venue for the premiere at the Chinese/Chinese Theater, a landmark building full of Chinese/Chinese style, which will be the first time that Lanli has appeared on the stage of a commercial film premiere, and it is also the starting point for Lanli to participate in the summer competition for the first time - although this is a spring release on the tail, not an official summer file.
It's a wonderful thing.
Outside the car window, the crowd spread along Hollywood Boulevard, and the entire street was blocked, leaving only the two lanes in the center to allow vehicles to pass through, and the rest of the view was completely occupied by the crowd, looking like the scene of ants moving before the rain, meandering forward, but there was no end in sight.
This is definitely far beyond imagination.
Universal Pictures is stingy — or cautious, tight, and picky—it's a well-known fact that the publicity budget for "Fast & Furious 5" is only 20 million, which is not even half of that of "Thor", which is rumored to spend as much as 45 million. In such a situation, the budget for the premiere is naturally limited, and it is impossible to hold it on a grand scale.
But today, the pomp and circumstance at the scene is reminiscent of the historical global simultaneous premiere of the "Star Wars Prequel".
There were at least 1,500 or more people in sight, or even 2,000 people, and the shouts of excitement and excitement were incessant, like a surging flood, which was constantly vented, and the whole street was boiling; The interview area at the entrance of the National Theatre has been completely crowded, the guardrails have been crooked, and the security guards standing next to it are scrambling to maintain order......
The air was boiling, like boiling water, bubbling and bubbling. is just a glimpse, and the heat and heat of the summer file are boiling.
Opened the car door, the rolling heat wave swept in, as if the eyebrows were burning, the dense heat instantly wrapped the whole person, as if summer was announcing with teeth and claws: My time has come! This made the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth involuntarily rise, he was very sure that this was Los Angeles, not New York.
Stepping on the red carpet with both feet, the soft touch was a little unexpected, it seemed to be even softer than the last Golden Globe Awards, and the entire soles of his feet were sunken, which made him have to stand in place, adjust his pace slightly, raise his head and scan the circle, crowd, crowd, crowd, in addition to crowd or crowd, the ubiquitous crowd filled his gaze.
Compared with the red carpet of the Toronto Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival, the boiling restlessness is surging under a golden sunset, and every pore on the skin can be truly felt, and even the blood can't help but start to speed up. But other than that, it doesn't seem to be any different.
Just as Lan Li was about to take a step, a sudden out-of-control shout came from his ears, "Ahhh
For a moment, the world was quiet, and all the noise in the ears disappeared, except for a "beep" sound that pulsed smoothly and sharply, and another moment, the world was noisy again, and the ears were filled with a chaotic and noisy sound, "buzzing" and constantly ringing, and it was impossible to identify the specific sound, as if the whole brain was shaking.
It was just a matter of exhaling and exhaling, but it was like riding a ninety roller coaster, suddenly rising, suddenly falling, and the excitement of free fall had melted into the blood before the frightened screams were shouted, and the blood vessels began to boil.
After being stunned for a moment, Lan Li reacted. After witnessing the silver waterfall of media flashing lights and the instant blindness of his eyes, now he has witnessed the sonic boom of fan screams and his ears are instantly deaf. At the Golden Globes, he watched as a bystander as Justin Bieber's emaciated body was engulfed in a stormy wave, and now he is the protagonist.
Turning around, Lan Li saw the surging and boiling crowd across the street, bustling along the iron railing, like dancing flames and twinkling stars, and only a wave could be seen in his sight. He had been treated to that earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, but compared to today's storm, Sundance's support was nothing more than a drizzle.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
In the midst of the surging cheers, a special shout came out, then two, three, gradually more and more, converging into one, and then flooding the mountains and seas, all over the mountains, filling the front of the sight, the not very neat shouts contained the energy of the earth-shattering, setting off a surge, even the sunset on the edge of the sky was eclipsed.
It's not the whole audience, it's just a small phalanx in front of it, but the appearance of two or three hundred people can't have the upper hand in the noise of more than 1,000 people in the audience. But they didn't care at all, they just shouted unswervingly, "Young Master!" One by one was more firm, one was more excited, and one was more happy, and the continuous shouts were twisted into a rope, and the powerful energy forcibly suppressed the shouts and screams of everyone else.
The whole audience, shake.
So grand, so enthusiastic, so turbulent, an emotion called moving spontaneously arose, slamming left and right in Lan Li's chest, hitting his chest with a faint pain.
He is just an actor, an actor who is conscientious and dedicated to acting, and has not contributed much to his works so far, let alone created any classic images, in his impression, he is an ordinary actor with no name, and there are countless such actors in Hollywood. Only on occasions like Toronto, Telluride, and Sundance can he find like-minded partners.
He never imagined that he could see so many cheers and shouts at the premiere of "Fast & Furious 5", he never imagined that he could enjoy such supreme treatment at the home of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, and he never imagined that after leaving the set and the studio, he would see a completely different world.
The surging emotions were so sudden and violent that I was caught off guard, and my nose was slightly sour. This made Lan Li a little embarrassed, but he didn't mind at all, the smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined, and happiness and satisfaction began to ripple in the quiet lake deep in his eyes.
So magnificent, so magnificent, so wonderful, Lan Li stood in place with a smile, taking in the view, as if enjoying a grand performance.
Not only Lan Li, but also the reporters at the scene were shocked, and the other spectators who were watching were also shocked, and their stunned eyes were projected one after another. No one expected that Lan Li, who had only starred in two art films, Lan Li, who only played the third leading role in "Fast and Thrill/Love 5", and Lan Li, who had only debuted for one year, would have such loyal and enthusiastic fans, as if this was not the premiere scene, but Lan Li's solo concert.
All the cheers are ringing for one person.
Hope Baez was shouting, screaming with all her might, she could even clearly feel the vibration of her vocal cords, every muscle in her body was trembling slightly, looking at the man in front of her intently, her eyes were already full of tears, and even Lan Li's figure had become blurred, but she didn't care at all, just shouted happily, using up every drop of energy in her body.
This is Lan Li's first public appearance after the Sundance Film Festival, this is Lan Li's first public appearance after the hellish shooting of "Fighting Cancer", and this is the first public appearance of Lan Li after the past period of news criticism.
So much has happened in just three months.
She wanted to tell him that physical health was the most important thing, that his performances were always so wonderful, that she wanted to tell him that he should concentrate on the film and ignore the gossip, that no matter how much the gossip was propagated, she always believed in him and never wavered, not even for a second, and that the clowns didn't matter, that in her mind, he was always an actor and just an actor.
However, she never had a chance. Until today.
So, Hope shouted desperately, seeing the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, seeing the touch of emotion in Lan Li's eyes, and seeing the calmness of Lan Li's gestures, this was enough. This is the light that illuminates the darkness and guides the way, and she will unswervingly follow it until the ends of the earth. Even at the end of the world, we will never give up.
"Young Master!"
The shouts spread overwhelmingly, resounding through the sky. It's not just Hope, it's not just Graham, it's not just William, everyone standing in front of them is shouting selflessly. There is no need for superfluous words and explanations, it is just the simplest word, but it is full of too much enthusiasm, too much affirmation, too much madness, and finally it all falls on the softness of the heart.
Little by little, the smile crept up and finally bloomed. I can't help but sigh, he is really a lucky man.
