Chapter 118: Shou Jia

In the Colombian region of the South American Republic, Chris Veich placed the first chapter of "Beauty and the Beast" here.

With the help of the distributor, it was easy for Chris Weige to set the first time for Beauty and the Beast in the cinema.

The praise of Golden State Animation and Dianjia made the first appearance of "Beauty and the Beast" naturally attract reporters with a keen sense of smell to come forward.

In front of the cinema, the red carpet was spread, and the staff stood on both sides to prevent crazy fans from jumping over the railings and running to the red carpet to disturb the invitees.

The difference between the first and the first is that ordinary audiences cannot participate, and only those who get an invitation can enter the cinema.

It is one of the important nodes and activities of film marketing activities, and it is the final warm-up for the release.

Premieres are generally star-studded and are one of the best ways to attract media and attention.

In the lively atmosphere of movie fans, the first to walk the red carpet were some important Times reporters such as reporters from "The Hollywood Reporter" and "New York Times" with invitations to attend the first ceremony.

They walked into the cinema with a gleam in their eyes, and the reporter with a keen sense of smell found that this "Beauty and the Beast" had some different durations.

The point of "Beauty and the Beast" was well received by reporters and film critics at the time, but the difference was that the reporter opened the previous film version of the same name of "Beauty and the Beast" and many versions of the novel of Beauty and the Beast.

The novel of "Beauty and the Beast" is different from "The Maiden and the Lion" of Grimm's fairy tales in many places, its history can be traced back to ancient Roman times to tens of centuries, and there are writers who have published "Beauty and the Beast" novels, except for Beauty and the Beast, the content is not very different.

In the 30s and 50s, Walt Disney tried to bring the French female writer Jeanne-Marie Leprance de Beaumont's "Beauty and the Beast" to the big screen, but unfortunately it could not be completed under the conditions at the time, especially the film of the same name "Beauty and the Beast" directed by the famous French director Cuckotdo in 1946, which made them even more pressured to prepare for this film.

Lester asked Chris Witch to make an animated film for Beauty and the Beast, not afraid that Disney would come to his door and question him.

After all, the animated film of "Beauty and the Beast" was made in advance by Lester, and there are many movie scenes in it that the Disney director could not have come up with in 1986.

According to the memory in their minds, the reason why "Beauty and the Beast" was able to be re-approved by Disney was the instant hit of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", which made them remember the movie adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" again.

Now "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was cut off by Lester, and "Beauty and the Beast" was produced ahead of schedule, and according to the latest news from Disney, they seem to be planning to bring "The Little Mermaid" to the big screen.

Regardless of whether Disney has discussed the issue of "Beauty and the Beast", "Beauty and the Beast" has in fact been promoted by Lester and has attracted more attention from people in North America.

After the reporters walked into the cinema, the first to step on the red carpet were Spielberg and Harrison Ford, who were friends with Lester, and the two received an invitation from Lester and immediately agreed to participate in the premiere.

A group of people who came to participate in the first meeting were all Leicester who spent the money on plane tickets to reach the South American Republic of Colombia smoothly.

The production cost of "Beauty and the Beast" only cost 2.5 million, and the money spent on publicity was higher than the production cost.

As the invited actors and stars walked on the red carpet, some fans screamed, and those reporters who didn't get the invitation took pictures excitedly.

In addition to Leicester's team artists, some artists from other agencies also came to participate.

Although invitations were distributed, according to reports from the staff, there were also some people who received the invitations and did not come to attend.

After the red-carpet star directors entered the cinema, Lester took Gwen Stephanie to another place and walked into the cinema and sat in an inconspicuous seat in the back row.

Lester looked around at the people sitting in the seats, and was surprised to see the people sitting in the second seat in the fourth row.

In the second position of the fourth row, Lester unexpectedly saw Michael Eisner, the current CEO and executive director of Disney, and the other party appeared here, which made him anxious about what Michael Eisner was going to do!

"There are a lot of star directors. ”

Gwen Stephanie took Lester's arm and looked around excitedly, and even saw some well-known stars such as Tom Cruise, her eyes flashing brightly.

The film's first star director and reporter gathered, but Gwen Stephanie saw it for the first time, and she was a little excited.

"Okay, don't look around, so as not to attract attention. Lester withdrew his gaze from Michael Eisner, and set Gwen's head straight with a little crying and laughing.

Looking at everyone so brightly, others will definitely turn their heads to see that tomorrow Lester is expected to have the news about him and Gwen Stephanie reported by reporters.

Gwen Stephanie knew that too, and her eyes stopped wandering around, looking at the movie screen that hadn't started yet.

Everyone in the audience looked at the movie screen that had not yet started, and chatted with familiar people.

"Little Lester, why didn't you see him. ”

Harrison Ford looked around for Leicester, and when he saw no one in sight, he asked Chris Clear, who was sitting next to Spielberg.

"He sat in the back row with his girlfriend. ”

Christwich looked ambiguously behind him.

Harrison Ford has always been a figure of media attention, and when he subconsciously looked in the direction of Leicester, some reporters who paid attention to him also subconsciously followed the line of sight.

Seeing this, Lester, who was sitting in the corner of the afterlife with Gwen Stephanie, hurriedly beckoned to Harrison Ford, and lowered his head to Gwen Stephanie.

Seeing this, Harrison Ford also knew that he didn't want to be noticed, so he withdrew his gaze.

Because of the darkness of the lights, the reporters who came to see only saw a boy wearing sunglasses, looking down and chatting with a little girl, and withdrew his gaze indifferently.

Lester was relieved to see that no one was paying attention to him.

"The movie begins. ”

After the black screen showed a bright light, Gwen Stephanie nudged Lester's arm and reminded him;

The star directors and reporters in the other seats sat up straight and watched the Asuka film logo appear on the movie screen.

The blue birds revolving around the earth, looking up to the sky and wanting to fly straight away, attracted the attention of reporters from the New York Times.

In the past, the logo of Asuka Film and Television also passed by the logo belonging to Blue Sky Animation Studio, and then the logo of other distribution companies, and the film officially began.
