Chapter 10: Grandeur

Just when Max Martin was fooled by Sid into going to Canada to "pan for gold", the long-lost "Warm Corpse" finally ushered in the premiere of the Valentine's Day schedule after being bombarded with advertisements on the Super Bowl. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As the first commercial film to be released on a large scale by Fire Lion Pictures, the premiere theaters exchanged from Disney reached an astonishing 3,000. Compared with the pitiful number of dozens or hundreds of premiere theaters in the previous few times, it is simply incomparable.

So Shirley (Sandberg) and Sean also arranged a nationwide campaign early on, and the Super Bowl ad was just one of the most well-known steps.

Of course, the effect is also remarkable.

When Orlando Bloom stepped out of his car, cheers rang out on both sides of the street that could knock off the roofs, and the screams of female fans and the flashing lights of reporters made him dizzy.

I've never been in contact with the flowering of Hollywood Vanity Fair, and I almost can't hold it. And that's just a microcosm of today's premiere of "Warm Corpses."

As such a large-scale premiere, not only Ali (Emmanuel) mobilized its big-name artists to come to cheer, but also a group of celebrities from Endeavor elite agencies represented by golden boys Matt Damon and Ben Affleck came one after another.

And under the Fire Lion, the newly popular Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan, one of the youngest Oscar nominees, not to mention, Jeremy (Renner) and Amy Adams, of course, Sid's descendants also came to cheer.

And other brokerage companies, aiming for the name of the first commercial film of Hollywood prodigy Sid, have also sent their potential new stars over, so that they are familiar.

For a while, the premiere of "Warm Corpse" looked really starry, and the scenery was amazing. But the absolute protagonist who was supposed to appear here did not show up at all.

"So, Sid really won't come?" asked Britney, reluctantly.

"It's true, he called and said that filming in Utah was in a pinch, so he didn't have time to go back to Los Angeles. Ali (Emmanuel) helplessly spread his hands and explained.

"Brother Sid has said it, it's time to get down to business, silly girl. Lindsay on the side said unhappily.

"You!" Britney glared at Lindsay angrily.

"You two, is it time to be vindictive?" a female voice next to her suddenly stopped, it turned out to be Shirley Sandberg, as the group's COO, she didn't need to attend the premiere of such a single movie.

But on the one hand, after all, this is the first time that Fire Lion Pictures has held such a large-scale event, so she can be a little relieved to come to the scene to supervise it in person. In addition, these two princess-level goblins.

With Britney's records and singles becoming popular, she has been "raising her eyebrows" well, and Lindsay's Oscar nomination is not far behind. This makes the "contradictions" between the two people grow day by day, and when they are by Sid's side, the two goblins are still very well-behaved.

But as soon as Sid was gone, the two began to compete, either for fashion or for the number of fans, which almost drove several agents around them crazy.

Aside from Sid, Shirley (Sandberg) is one of the few who can hold them down.

"It's our turn. Britney's assistant Frisia looked outside and said.

Lindsay and Britney looked at each other and said in unison, "I'll go first!"

"No, it's me!"

A few people next to me couldn't help but think to themselves, "Then why do you have to take a car?

――――――――――――――――――――

"Boss, the comprehensive box office of "Warm Corpse" this month has come out. Henry handed over the latest statistics.

Sid took a look at "Warm Corpse", which premiered on Valentine's Day in February. It made its $30 million debut that week, an incredible feat for a film that was in the off-season in February.

Originally, because after the release of "Little Sunshine Beauty", only 3 months later, a new film was released. And the media questioned Sid's insane filming speed. In the face of the brilliant box office results of "Warm Corpse", I had to give up.

But this time the opinions of the film critics are not so unified, "Warm Corpse", as an idol commercial film, has revealed the positions of many media.

The Chicago Sun-Zele on the West Coast praised "Warm Corpses" as a post-apocalyptic love story with excellent pacing and great direction, along with excellent humor, romance and optimism.

The Los Angeles Times, on the other hand, praised Sid for mixing the horror popcorn and romance movie genres to bring a fresh breath to both styles.

The most professional "Variety Weekly" said that this unconventional zombie film, although the layout is small, can be called a good story between the zombie Romeo and the living Juliet.

The Texas-based Austin Chronicle said that after "Ghost Record" and "Little Sunshine Beauty", director Sid Leonhardt once again refreshed people's expectations, and made the film both intelligent and emotional by portraying the inner activities of "dead bodies".

And the Arizona Republic directly said that there is no hypocrisy in the sincerity of the film.

But instead of the West Coast media hype, the East Coast media began to be unkind to Sid.

The New York Post said that although the film has enough likable protagonists, the story of the whole film is still very boring, just a rough and mediocre impact.

Another HSD Post said that "Warm Corpse" is cute enough but not smart enough, and the film is brain dead like its zombie protagonist.

As for the well-known film review magazine "Village Voice", it is ruthless to say that the goal of the film is too high, and the end result is only bloodless feelings and more boring violent scenes.

Since his debut, Sid's strong civilian atmosphere and sunny atmosphere have been revealed in the film, fully proving his bohemian and uninhibited as a West Coast artist. And this style, which is based on full entertainment, is inevitably involved in the film style battle on the east and west coasts of North America.

The West Coast media naturally can't put him down, and an unprecedented film genius was born in Los Angeles, the mecca of cinema, which simply makes the West Coast film elite uncontrollable.

The East Coast elite, who prefer cold and high-end and believe that art should be higher than life, inevitably thinks that another "stinky boy" full of copper smell has run away from Los Angeles.

But Sid had no interest in such frivolous disputes, and this sense of West Coast identity was quite beneficial to him. Otherwise, he was shortlisted for the Oscar for the first time, why could he get two shortlisted places in the Best Live Action Short Film.

This is almost the same as announcing that the Golden Man for the Best Live Action Short Film award has been booked for him.

Although in recent years, the dispute between the east and west coasts in the film industry has subsided a lot. Last year, for example, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay at the age of 28, were born in Cambridge (next to Boston) on the East Coast.

But this year, there can be a younger West Coast genius (a full 10 years younger!) to slap the East Coast elite in the face, why not do the Oscars.

――――――――――――――――――――

After reviewing the latest information, Sid returned to the filming of "Youth Musical".

After incorporating the music and songs brought by Max Martin, the shooting of the entire dance part became easier to grasp. Although there is still no music during the shooting, when rehearsing the dance in the early stage, if there is music, it is still necessary to get twice the result with half the effort.

After more than a week of filming, all the scenes at Eastern High School were finally filmed. Then the crew moved to the ski resort of Salt Lake City to shoot the last remaining scene where the hero and heroine meet.

In fact, this is also the first scene of the movie.

Salt Lake City itself is a famous ski resort in North America, so there is still some snow in the ski resort that has not melted, so the crew stepped up preparations for the set and lighting after settling in a local hotel here.

The shooting of the interior scene is no longer a problem for the quite skilled crew who have run in. It's just when the hero and heroine pick up the microphone for the first time and stand on the stage to sing.

"Cut!" Sid shouted again impatiently, and everyone looked nervously at Jessica Alba on stage, this was the 19th time NG.

The shooting of the whole film has always been very smooth, and it is rare to have more than 10 NGs, and today this is directly doubled.

"I've said that many times, Jessica. When you and Chris sing, you need to show the process of growing intimate through expressions, tone of voice, and body movements. You can't just look at Chris with affection right up, oh my God!" Sid said with extreme displeasure.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Director. Jessica Alba was struck by Sid's anger.

It turned out that Jessica Alba, who was in love, always involuntarily showed a sweet and intimate expression when filming this scene where the two first met.

Originally, there was no problem with such a performance, and the scene after the two met. But when they first met, they behaved like this, so the heroine was too "".

In fact, compared with the "original" Vanessa Hudgens's performance that can be called facial paralysis, Jessica Alba is already better, but Sid can't help but raise the requirements when he films.
