At six o'clock in the afternoon, the crowd in front of the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood was full of voices. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A lot of enthusiastic fans gathered on the red carpet around the theater.

Mostly yellow people!

"Linzai, I like you so much!"

California is home to Chinese, and most of the people who like Shen Lin are Chinese!

Shen Lin smiled and waved.

Not long after, Matthew and Scarlett came, and the two walked through the enthusiastic fans to the end of the red carpet and were interviewed by reporters with Shen Lin.

"Why Matthew, because he's both a cowboy and an astronaut!"

"Scarlett, there's no one who doesn't like Scarlett, I'm a fan of hers!"

"This movie is not a simple science fiction film, we have done countless scientific experiments to prove that it is indeed feasible to pass through wormholes and black holes, in order to keep the movie from being obscure, I even found several ordinary people who don't understand physics at all, let them watch it first, as long as they ask questions, I will solve it!"

The taboo of commercial films, obscure!

The Disney reporter leaned over: "Shen Lin, why do you have to shoot this movie?

"I see what you mean, why are you giving yourself so many problems?"

Shen Lin paused, "When I was a child, many of us wanted to be an astronaut, that was a very cool thing, and this is the biggest reason why I created this story! With the reason, and then let's talk about the story structure, the earth is in despair, someone must pass through the wormhole, so, I chose astronauts! Every astronaut is destined to be extraordinary!"

"The earth is a good place to live, and if one day, we have to leave, what will you choose? Or, what kind of existence is the earth in the whole universe? What kind of existence is human beings and the universe?"

"I'm not going to shoot just this one!"

After saying this, Shen Lin nodded to the reporter.

Matthew and Scarlett glanced at each other, and the three of them left the interview area and turned around and walked to the door of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.

Before entering the theater, Shen Lin deliberately paused to take a look at this famous building in the United States.

One sentence to describe the style of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood: nondescript.

It is said to be a landmark building that combines Chinese and Western cultures, and the handprints and footprints of nearly 200 filmmakers have gathered on the concrete floor in front of the theater.

Unlike the stars on the Avenue of Stars, leaving footprints here is more of a commercial practice.

Because there are no particularly clear and strict standards for leaving a seal in Hollywood's Chinese theater, when some movies premiere in the theater, the leading actor will leave handprints, footprints, and even nose prints.

Not only the main creator of the movie, but also the props in the movie can also be imprinted, such as the magic wand of the 3 leading actors in the "Harry Potter" series of movies...

Moreover, since the beginning of the new century, the number of people who have left prints here has surged, and many of them are paid by film companies or foreign stars to achieve the purpose of publicity and hype!

The so-called seal is usually difficult to leave a name.

Leaving a name on the Walk of Fame means that the recognition of the American film industry represented by Hollywood has left a mark on the Chinese theater for many reasons, which can be commercial behavior or publicity, and the weight is not so heavy!

……

The first thing that catches your eye is two huge red columns made of coral at the entrance.

Each of them is inlaid with a wrought iron mask, two red pillars support the copper roof above, and between the two red pillars is a nine-meter-high stone sculpture carved with a Chinese dragon.

To this day, two large stone tengus, originally brought from China, still guard the entrance to the theater.

Shen Lin walked through the door of the theater and looked at the internal structure while greeting the people who came to greet him.

The interior design here is dazzling and has a strong Chinese touch.

(Forget it, I won't write about this, I haven't been there)

"The latest box office statistics have come out," Cook Dick walked to Shen Lin's side, ""Captain America 2" is not performing well at the box office today, the box office decline is showing, the three major commercial theaters will start tomorrow morning, will reduce the film scheduling rate of this film, if our early box office is excellent, we may get a higher scheduling rate than before!"

"A common problem with Marvel movies!"

Shen Lin said disappreciably.

Of course, he still didn't let his guard down: "What about "Draft Day" and "Eye of the Olympic Nuclear"?"

These two films, which are also premiering today, belong to the two works that are not high-cost, but cannot be ignored.

"Draft Day" starring Kevin Costner, if you don't know Kevin Costner, then "Dances with Wolves" and "Bodyguard" should always know!

Of course, the box office appeal of veteran movie stars is not as good as before, but as long as they encounter the right movie, they can still burst out a good chemical reaction!

"It's not too much of a surprise, these two movies shouldn't have any effect on us!" Cook Dick hesitated: "Our opponent is probably Rio Hot Adventure"

Walt?

Are you playing?

Is Rio Adventure a cartoon, okay?

"The reputation of "Rio Adventure" is very good, and it is estimated that it will be a good animated movie!"

"But our audience is different!"

Today is not only the North American premiere of "Interstellar", but also 3,200 advance screenings will be held at the same time as the premiere.

Due to the good reputation of the test screening, both the general audience and the media and film critics have praised "Interstellar", and in terms of distribution, Disney has adopted an exclusive screening strategy in some regions.

As the name suggests, "exclusive screening" refers to a contract between a distributor and the same distributor as the one that will be screened at the same time as the exhibition, to ensure that the exhibitor located in the heart of the city can have an exclusive, first-round screening of the film!

To put it simply, some theaters are only allowed to show one film of "Interstellar", and no other films are allowed!

If they don't, they'll be sorry, and the premiere of the next big production will have to be handed over to other theaters in that area!

For filmmakers, "exclusive screening" can reduce unnecessary waste or dilute the audience.

This is a common tactic used by the six major Hollywood companies, and it is also a strategy for them to control the theatrical side, and almost all the super-selling films are distributed by the six major companies or subsidiaries of the six major companies, and this strategy alone makes it difficult for small companies to get ahead.

"It's always been the case, every decision we make to exclude screenings is based on our best commercial judgment and our consideration of maximizing the interests of each film. ”

These are the exact words of Dave Hollis, the head of distribution at Disney!

O capitalists!

However, this is the rules of the game in Hollywood, and Shen Lin is not qualified to refuse, of course, he is not likely to refuse!

After the crew and guests participating in the premiere entered the theater one after another, the ordinary audience with relatively low seats gradually entered, and the fans who could come to participate in the premiere of the film were either fans of Shen Lin or supporters of a certain main creative staff of the crew.

Judging from their skin color, it is obvious that most of them are Chinese, which means that most of them are fans of Shen Lin!
