Chapter 504: Ahh

Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!

Bang - Bang -

After Zack Schneider, who was in a suit and leather shoes, walked the red carpet for the last time, the sonorous and uniform footsteps suddenly sounded, and the fans gathered in front of the Emirates Rock Theater in Los Angeles hurriedly looked up, and two teams of tall and sturdy Spartan warriors suddenly poured out of the left and right side doors of the theater, and ran in unison towards the theater door along the passage close to the theater wall.

These Spartan warriors wore dark golden helmets, red cloaks and red trousers, and their exposed muscles were like hard stones.

Fans raised their cameras one after another to record this rare scene with their cameras.

The camera in the hands of the reporter also shifted from the red carpet to the Spartan warriors.

The Spartan warriors on the left and right ran to the place near the gate of the theater, and suddenly stopped, and all the Spartan warriors stopped and turned at the same time, standing in two rows by the granite walls on the left and right sides of the main entrance of the theater.

Then, at the same time, they drew their swords and moved forward, first striking the special dark gold shield with the aluminum alloy blade, making a loud "bang" like a war drum.

Then, all the Spartan warriors opened their mouths at the same time.

"Ahh

The three majestic roars instantly mobilized the emotions of everyone in front of the chieftain stone, as if people had returned to the battlefield in front of the hot spring pass.

Finally, the empty billboard at the top of the Chiefstone Theater suddenly flipped over, and a man like a god of war held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, looking up to the sky and roaring.

At the moment when the advertising screen was completed, Matthew's majestic and wild roar sounded in the loudspeaker that I didn't know where to hide.

β€œ . Sparta!”

After this sound, the three hundred warriors on both sides of the theater roared again.

"Ahh

There were three more majestic roars, and the emotions at the scene were completely mobilized.

David Ellison stood on the stone steps in front of the theater and said to Megan Ellison next to him, "How does it feel?"

"Hormones are flying, and there are red pants everywhere. Megan Ellison rolled her eyes without a trace, "You can have a male Victoria's Secret show." ”

David Ellison didn't care, he laughed, and looked in a very good mood, judging from the reaction of the scene, this ingenious premiere design will definitely win the headlines of many entertainment media.

Megan Ellison nodded slightly, "It's really better than just walking the red carpet." Curious, she asked, "Whose idea was this? Surely it wasn't yours, was it? Could it be Warner Bros.?"

"It's not. David Ellison sighed and said in a tone of some admiration, "Matthew, Matthew came up with the idea, and then I found someone to design it." ”

Megan Ellison frowned, but finally said, "He's got a lot of ideas." ”

David Ellison saw the main cast and crew of the crew being interviewed in the interview area of the red carpet shots, gathered in front of the background board of the premiere sponsor to prepare for a group photo, sorted out the bow tie, and asked Meghan Ellison, "Let's go for a group photo?"

"Don't go. Megan Ellison shook her head firmly, "When the movie I invested in is released, I have a photo opportunity." ”

Hearing her say this, David Ellison was not reluctant, went down the steps, walked into the photo area, found where Matthew was, and forced his way between him and Eva Green.

Matthew turned his head to look at David Ellison and asked, "Why didn't I see you on the red carpet?"

"I came early. David Ellison pointed to the theater door, "I've been hiding there and enjoying what it's like to be behind it." ”

He turned to Eva Green and said, "Hey, Eva, don't you mind if I borrow your king?"

Eva Green was still in a black dress, with a pale face and a smile squeezing out of the corners of her drooping mouth, "Whatever you want." ”

In fact, she has long since returned to Los Angeles and participated in many promotional announcements for the film, but there is not much contact with Matthew other than normal work contact.

Their brief relationship had ended the last time she left Horner Manor.

Everyone stood together and posed for a photo, and in between the photos, David Ellison asked Matthew in a low voice, "I heard that the "Iron Man" you invested in chose Robert Downey Jr. as the protagonist?"

Matthew replied in a low voice, "That's right, he has a low salary, and he agreed to sign a few more, in case the film is successful, let him make a sequel, which can also limit his future salary." ”

David Ellison wondered, "You're not afraid of messing up?"

Matthew reached out and grabbed him on the shoulder, patted him gently, and said, "Don't worry, even if I lose money, I still have the salary and dividends of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and I won't go bankrupt." ”

The crew gradually dispersed and began to take group photos in twos and threes, and Matthew called James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender over and solemnly introduced them to David Ellison.

When David Ellison ran to take a photo with Warners, Matthew said to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, "This is a big financier, and it doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with the big money owners who have the ability to invest in the big productions in the first line." ”

James McAvoy said, "I just told Michael to go after David Ellison's sister. ”

Michael Fassbender punched James McAvoy in the punch, "Such a difficult character, you might as well execute it yourself." ”

The three of them didn't say a few words, and another photojournalist came over, and the three of them stood side by side for a group photo, showing the friendship between the men.

As actors, they have their own careers, and they are destined to run all over the world, and they may not see each other a few times a year, but the friendship forged before they became famous is stronger.

After the group photo, Matthew walked towards the theater with James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, then gestured to the stone steps in front of him with his eyes, and said, "Megan Ellison is there, you two go up together." ”

The three of them were used to joking, so he deliberately added, "Remind you that if you marry her, you can save your life of struggle." ”

It was all a joke, of course, and when they went up, Megan Ellison had already entered the Emirates Rock Theater first.

Entering the VIP lounge of the theater, waiting for the general audience to enter first, Matthew greeted Depp and Keanu Reeves and others who came to cheer for him, and Amanda took the initiative to find him.

She leaned over to Matthew and whispered, "Good news for you, the interview team that went to Africa has sent a video interview with refugees." ”

"Where?" asked Matthew with concern.

"It went to the Foundation office. Amanda replied, "The assistant just called me to tell me that it has been received, and that it has been copied for three points and kept in three places. ”

She asked, "When are you going to use it?"

Matthew thought for a while, "I shouldn't need it for the time being, looking at the follow-up box office situation of the film, I will discuss with David and Warner's people, find a suitable opportunity to release the video, and have another wave of publicity." ”

Amanda nodded slightly, remembering something, and asked, "How about the presale?"

"Not bad. Someone walked by to say hello, and Matthew smiled and replied, "About $20 million for the first weekend." ”

"It's a lot worse than "Gathering Soul Coffin". Amanda muttered.

Matthew reminded, ""Soul Gathering Coffin" is a sequel, and it is rated PG-13, this one is R-rated, and it can't be compared to ......."

Speaking of which, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, a middle-aged black man with glasses, Spike Lee, whom he had just dealt with last week.

How did he come?

Matthew found David Ellison and asked a few questions, and David Ellison looked at Spike Lee and said, "You weren't invited, and I'm sure the crew and Skydance Pictures weren't invited either, presumably Warner Bros. invited." ”

That's the only way to do it.

Spike-Lee was here, and he didn't do anything excessive, and Matthew couldn't go down in front of everyone to chase people away, so he just didn't see it.

"There's ...... between you and him," David Ellison was curious.

Matthew didn't explicitly say, "Attending the premiere of Clint Eastwood's new film last week, something was a little unpleasant. ”

David Ellison saw Matthew's downplay and thought it was just a trivial matter, so he immediately moved on to something else, saying, "That "Flags of the Fathers" didn't do very well at the box office, and it was only $10 million in the first weekend, so it won't cause us problems. ”

Matthew nodded slightly, "The audience of the two is also different. ”

He has seen the "Banner of the Fathers", the style is different from "Saving Private Ryan", and it is more literary.

According to his personal opinion, the film is now in its second week of release, and there is no advantage over the premiere of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

Just as Matthew went to say hello, Spike Lee called Francis Lawrence, who did not come to the premiere and chose to go to the nearest other early screenings.

Time passed quickly, and under the reminder of the staff, the people in the VIP lounge walked into the theater one after another, ready to watch this "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

In addition to the guests who walked the red carpet, a large number of professional film critics also entered the theater.

As one of the most well-known film critics in North America today, Rex Reed is also mixed in with many people.

At the ticket office of the Emirates Rock Theatre, two people arrived late.

Although it was a bit late, the security officer looked at the two men's movie tickets and put them into the Chiefstone Cinema.

"We can easily get an invitation to the premiere. Donadoni complained a little, "You have to buy a regular ticket." ”

Giovanni Salvatore said with a serious face, "We are here to visit the site on behalf of Armani, and we must see the reaction of the film in the most intuitive way, and we can't be influenced by people casually." ”

Donadoni sighed and said, "I know, that's why I'm here with you." ”

As the two walked along, Giovanni Salvatore continued, "Again, the panty brand is relatively high-end and mass-oriented, and we're going to see for it the reception of Matthew Horner's figure." ”
