044 Public debut
The concept of the premiere was born very early, but it wasn't until after the simultaneous global premiere of "Star Wars Prequel" that it was given a special meaning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before that, the premiere was just a public occasion to tell all audiences that "a new movie is officially released", but now, the premiere is a highly commercial ceremony, and wealthy crews even spend tens of millions of dollars to create a premiere, inviting journalists, celebrity guests, and avid fans, truly turning the premiere into a show, an important part of the public relations process, and paving the way for the subsequent commercial success of the work.
Considering the wide range of TV series and movies, only HBO TV has dedicated its premiere to TV dramas in the world, and only two productions, "Band of Brothers" and "Pacific War", and not only that, but the ceremony was also chosen at the premiere location of Hollywood's hottest and biggest name, the Chinese Theater. Tom and Steven's appeal in the industry can be seen.
However, these are just strength on paper, and after all, there is still not enough realism after hearing about it, and when the grand scene at the entrance of the Chinese Theater comes into view, Lan Li really understands the significance of this premiere.
Sitting in the black stretch car dispatched by HBO TV, looking out the window, the mighty crowd stood on the crosswalks on both sides of Hollywood Boulevard, the spacious four lanes had been blocked by iron railings at this time into two lanes, and the dense crowd crowded both sides of the road, and 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, filling their eyes, making people deeply feel that even after nine years, this series is still very popular. Occasionally, you can see the propaganda posters of the "Pacific War", but there are not many character posters, and they are almost drowned in the familiar faces of "Band of Brothers".
After passing by the Kodak Theater and passing by the Captain's Theater, the iconic temple roof of the Chinese Theater appeared in sight, and a red carpet of less than 50 yards was paved between the two stone lions at the door, which was paved across the road from the entrance of the theater. The understanding of national culture, and it has also become the number one venue for major premieres, and the handprints and footprints of outstanding filmmakers are concentrated on the cement floor at the door, which contrasts with the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of them.
Countless reporters stood neatly and fully on both sides of the red carpet at this time, rows of neatly placed cannon barrels aimed at the stretch passage in the center, and the lineup of more than sixty reporters crammed their sights, and the huge and empty shots were like the mouths of giant beasts, opening their bloody mouths, ready to devour everything that appeared in front of them.
The heat of the sky is blowing in the face, the surging crowd is like a thousand troops, and the sonorous sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse can be clearly heard in the ears, and the grandeur and magnificence of Hollywood are slowly unfolding in front of you like a picture scroll.
It's just the premiere of a TV series.
Taking a deep breath, Lan Li opened the car door, stepped on the soft red carpet with both feet, and couldn't help but exert a slight force on the soles of his feet, feeling the down-to-earth reality, raised his hand to button up the suit button, straightened his waist, and then took a step forward and embarked on his first red carpet journey.
The red carpet was already bustling with activity, and not far away Davy Nat and Jon Seda could be seen walking up the side steps, and the reporter on the left stopped the two men for a brief interview, apparently arriving at the scene just before Lan Li.
The red carpet on the right was boiling hot at this time, and Ron Livingston (Ron-Livingston), Donnie-Wahlberg (Donnie-Wahlberg), Kirk-Acevedo (Kirk-Acevedo) and others gathered together, all of which were the team of "Band of Brothers", and they did not expect to attend the premiere today.
In the crowd, I happened to catch a glimpse of Alexander Skarsgard, and Lan Li thought he was dazzled, but he didn't expect to see Anna-Paquin's petite body, surrounded by reporters, showing a bright smile.
Lan Li reacted at this time, and HBO's other popular drama "True Love is Like Blood", the whole crew came to cheer together.
Unfamiliar faces staggered in front of him, Lan Li stepped on a steady pace to meet him, the restlessness of the crowd from all directions surrounded him, the ubiquitous crowd made it impossible to find a place to stay, and couldn't help but look around, Lan Li was groping for the red carpet skills - should he slow down and show himself? Or should he go to the side and party with the crowd? Or should he go to the front to communicate with the reporters? Or go to the door of the theater and stand with the rest of the crew?
Without the guidance of the agent, Lan Li had the illusion of being out of place and at a loss, as if he was ...... As if the screams and shouts of the fans did not belong to him, as if the active and active reporters did not notice him, on the surging red carpet, he could not fit in, and that strange loneliness swept over.
However, Lan Li's footsteps did not panic, and he still maintained his calmness and moved forward in an orderly manner. I clearly understand in my heart that this is Hollywood, this is the real world, and as a complete newcomer, let alone the audience, maybe even the reporter can't call his name, so this kind of treatment is really normal.
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly outlined, 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 in.
After the end of "Friends", the actor's career fell into silence, "Band of Brothers" is his only widely known work, more often than not, he has now moved behind the scenes, attending the premiere today, everyone naturally wants to dig up more news.
Bradley looked down at the photos in his camera, flipped through them randomly, and then lifted the camera again, pointing at the beginning of the red carpet, waiting for the next subject of interview value to appear. As a senior reporter for the entertainment section of the New York Times, his focus is naturally different from that of entertainment gossip media such as Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and TMZ.
The camera shows a tall man, he wears an army green suit, in a black and gray oppressive tone, it looks unique and outstanding, and it also cooperates with the "Pacific War" The first button of the suit is buttoned up, outlining the proportions of the broad-shouldered bee waist, and the slender legs easily steal the attention of the eyeballs;
If you want to say that this man is earth-shatteringly handsome, it is estimated that many reporters present will roll their eyes directly, Alexander Skarsgård, who also appeared on the red carpet, is the winner of the second place of the world's sexiest men last year, and everyone's aesthetics are completely different, which is also destined to be appreciated from different angles.
But Bradley couldn't help but press the shutter in his hand, trying to record the moment when time stood still with film, as if ...... Just like the moment when fireworks bloom, everyone likes the splendor of fireworks, but they understand that fireworks are fleeting, and the ultimate beauty makes people happy, but it makes people sigh.
Who's this?
Bradley had question marks in his mind, but the shutter in his hand couldn't stop at all. When he realized that the man had gone too far, he subconsciously shouted, "Wait. There is no title, no object, the other party naturally will not stop, and the surrounding noise swallows Bradley's voice in the blink of an eye.
"You're here!" Rami, who was already standing at the door of the theater, hurriedly greeted him and gave Lan Li a big hug excitedly, "I was still thinking about when you will arrive." ”
Today, Rami wore a three-piece suit, which was extremely formal, with a black suit, black waistcoat, and black tie, with a white shirt, which is typical of formal occasions, but the use of the vest still took some small thought.
Seeing Rami look so serious, Lan Li couldn't help laughing, "You look like you're going to attend the court." The ridiculous words made Rami roll his eyes helplessly, and before Rami could respond, a voice came from the side, "Rammy, Rammy!"
Bradley quickly walked through the line of his peers and walked to Rammy's side, because there were no reporters around who cared about Lan Li's identity, so Bradley's movements were effortless - the scene was really too lively and too chaotic, Lan Li was such a nobody's unfamiliar face, even if the appearance was somewhat attractive, but this is Hollywood, everyone has their own characteristics, how could reporters care? Even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn-Monroe) has experienced a long period of unknown for almost five years after her debut.
"Lamy, won't you introduce you to me?" Bradley asked quickly.
Rami doesn't know Bradley, but he does know the "New York Times" logo on Bradley's backpack, and he smiles, "Ranley Hall, one of the three stars of our show." ”
A simple introduction made Bradley suddenly realize - the newcomer, the newcomer who didn't have any acting experience, the rumored name finally matched himself, Bradley's eyes couldn't help but light up, but such a newcomer was favored by Steven and starred in the "Pacific War", which can be described as soaring. The news highlights came out immediately.
However, before Bradley could continue to speak, there was a burst of uncontrollable screams at the beginning of the red carpet, and everyone looked at the scene: Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg had arrived!
