1902 Midsummer heatwave
Journalists all over Hollywood are waiting to be tormented?
I don't know how the reporters felt when they heard Lan Li's comments, but it is certain that they are definitely gloating around now, if the premiere of "Interstellar" really opens the skylight, it will be called wonderful, just make up for it and can't help but start gearing up.
As for the real torment, it should be the "Interstellar" propaganda team within Warner Bros., they are now tormenting in a hot oil pot, and the sword hanging above their heads does not know when it will fall, and that sense of suspense is tormenting everyone's nerves.
It's all Lan Li's fault!
In fact, Lan Li did not deliberately create suspense, let alone deliberately embarrass the publicity group. Andy is always updating the itinerary of Lan Li in real time, from the filming progress of Honolulu to the flight number and specific date to Los Angeles, to the arrangements to go to the premiere, etc., all the itinerary is transparent and clear, because Andy himself knows that the premiere is very important, and he also wants Lan Li to arrive on time.
Lan Li's every move is under the monitoring of the publicity team, and they also know very well that Lan Li will return to the North American continent, and they will definitely be able to arrive in Los Angeles before the premiere, as much as possible to avoid the accident of opening the skylight, which is already the most positive and positive situation under the difficult situation.
In other words, Andy and Lan Li showed a highly cooperative posture and did not mean to deliberately make things difficult and torture anyone.
But the problem is that the schedule is too tight and too tight, and it seems that the slightest deviation in any one link can trigger a domino effect that affects the entire premiere and subsequent distribution and promotion plans - once the negative news unfolds, the impact on the entire film promotion is immeasurable, so the importance of the matter is completely different.
But who can they complain about?
On the one hand, the senior management of Warner Bros. raised the file unreasonably, directly ignored Lan Li's shooting schedule, and showed an absolutely tough attitude, while the above sentence required three full months of busy feet, but they couldn't leave the burden; on the other hand, Lan Li's schedule conflict, they couldn't blame Lan Li's work, and there was no way to urge Lan Li to give up "Jurassic World" and choose "Interstellar", because the move to raise the file was a decision made by Warner Bros. to ask for their own hardships.
It is such a stalemate, the propaganda team is like a gas bag, stuck in the middle, you can't blame the company's top management, you can't put the blame on Lan Li, in addition to stabbing the villain in the back, the mouth is bubbling with anger, but there is no way to really push all the anger and pressure away.
At this time, they finally understood the feeling of the Golden Globe Awards ceremony at the beginning of the year.
Although they knew all of Lan Li's itinerary - which was much luckier than the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, they were still worried about the potential error crisis in every link, and they did not dare to relax easily until the last moment, just like the whistle in a football game, the suspense dragged on until the last moment, and it really made people have a heart attack at any time.
Pray for the filming to be completed, pray for the flight not to be delayed, and pray for the weather to be strong...... Pray that all goes well, that the premiere is as expected to be a superstar, and that nothing goes wrong at the last minute.
"The Eagle has landed at Los Angeles International Airport without a hitch. The latest news, Paul Walker personally went to the airport to pick him up and is now on his way to Malibu. ”
The excited voice couldn't wait to announce the news, and although it was suppressed and suppressed, the excitement still made the voice can't help but rise high. After waiting for so long, suffering for so long, now it is finally possible to draw a comma for the time being, and the most important step is completed until the premiere goes smoothly.
Immediately afterward, the entire office of the "Interstellar" propaganda group erupted in cheers, as if they had really completed the whistle goal reversal victory.
Joy is short-lived. With less than twenty-four hours to go before the premiere, the accident could happen again at any time, and there are still many uncertainties, and it is still not the time to be completely reassured, but at least, at least Lan Li has arrived in Los Angeles, and even if there are any more accidents, it will not be too outrageous, and things are finally in control, as if NASA Base Houston has confirmed that the rocket is ready - although there are still many variables in the launch, at least the countdown to the launch can be entered.
That's the good news!
The whole office began to cheer and celebrate, they never knew that the work of publicity planning and distribution and operation could be so exciting! Now, the publicity work of this greatly increased file has officially entered the last link - the premiere and public screening, and the three-month torment can finally see the end of the approach.
……
Wednesday, June 4th.
When you open the curtains early in the morning, you can see layers of dark clouds hanging overhead, as if the whole sky could collapse at any time, and the overwhelming darkness makes the morning time meaningless, and it is impossible to tell what time it is, as if it is still early in the morning, obviously, a rainstorm warning is slowly coming.
But it's a good thing for Los Angeles.
Every summer, California is facing the danger of drought because it is too dry and lacks rain, and even encounters wildfires of varying degrees every year, which has a huge impact on the fixed assets of residents and even the personal safety of citizens.
Those single-family families have begun to reduce the amount of water used to water the lawn in front of the door, so it is often joked that to see how rich a family is, just look at the lawn at the door in July and August, the greener it is, the more confident it is.
If it does rain, California will welcome it with open arms.
"Does that mean that 'Interstellar' is really going to explode? California hasn't had rain in the first half of the year, and it's going to rain today? What kind of luck is this?"
The reporters couldn't help but start chattering and gossiping, although this statement was a bit superstitious, but the discussion after tea and dinner was harmless, it seemed that the goddess of luck was on Lan Li's side again, and the reporters' complaints and ridicule may not have such a meaning.
It was absolutely terrible news for Diesel, who looked out the window at the clouds and prayed to God as sincerely as never before, "The sun comes out." Out of the sun. Please come out of the sun!"
Although the state of California has already issued a drought warning since June, and the flames of this year's wildfires seem to have sprung up early, Diesel believes that the delay of the rain for a day should be fine, the world will not collapse, he still hopes for the sun to come out, or he does not want Lady Luck to choose the blue ceremony.
The cloudy sky continued until noon, and the expected heavy rain never fell, but the air became more and more sultry and depressing, and there was a faint tension that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of tension; after twelve o'clock, the sky began to gradually clear, the cumulus clouds slowly dispersed, and the golden sun was revealed little by little, and Los Angeles once again became the city of angels that was shrouded in warm sunshine all year round.
The torrential rain still failed to fall after all.
The radio station is debating whether the town hall should consider artificial rainfall, or whether it is too urgent to start doing it artificially in early June instead of waiting for nature's bounty?
But Diesel didn't care, his prayer was finally fulfilled, and that was the most important thing, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and cheer, jumping up and down like a child, "God, oh, God! I praise you from the bottom of my heart, it's amazing! It's the best news I've ever heard this year." ”
Since the sun is out today, does this mean that "Interstellar" is not shrouded in a halo of luck, on the contrary, is it possible that it is a precursor to the movie Waterloo?
Just thinking about it makes Diesel want to scream again.
After the clouds cleared, the temperature began to rise gradually, and the feeling of stuffiness and restlessness permeated the streets and alleys of the city, which was clearly located next to the sea, but still produced a feeling of being trapped in a can, as if the air was no longer flowing, and then the heat wave of early summer was rolling in, and the temperature began to soar all the way, but instead experienced the heat of midsummer, and the weather began to be abnormal again, which was indeed a very strange day.
But the unusual weather still hasn't stopped the avid fans from attending, whether it is Christopher Nolan's strong appeal accumulated in recent years, or the far-reaching influence represented by the name Lanley Hall, which is enough to be a reason for fans to go to the premiere -
Not to mention the success or failure of the movie, but fans can at least get up close and personal with Christopher and Blue Rite at the premiere, and that's enough, isn't it?
The success of the premiere cannot be equated with the success of the movie at the box office, but the excitement of the premiere can be directly proportional to the popularity of the cast.
As a result, Hollywood Boulevard centered on the Chinese Theater entered a paralyzed stage, and the City Hall learned the lesson of the "Edge of Tomorrow" the year before and temporarily blocked all six surrounding blocks, but it still failed to stop the crazy crowds that swarmed from all directions.
This seems to be a bit abnormal - it hasn't been long since "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballad" were officially withdrawn from theaters, isn't it? Why are fans so eager to see Lan Li now, isn't there aesthetic fatigue?
But no one can answer this question, and perhaps the only answer is: there is really no end to Lan Li's popularity!
