March 8, Women's Day, Los Angeles. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and the darkness imperceptibly covered the entire sky, and the city of angels at night was lit up with neon lights and bright lights.

As celebrities stepped on the red carpet, the click of the camera shutter became one, and at the same time, the cheers of fans, reporters' questions, and the shouts of the paparazzi also sounded disturbingly.

Putting down the camera in his hand, Antonioni breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, he is a reporter for the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, and he is used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, if this is not the off-season of the movie schedule, if it is not for Warner Bros. Pictures to release the news that there will be British stars attending the premiere today, such a football movie with almost no big names to support the scene, it is impossible for him, a big-name entertainment journal, to go out in person.

"Antonioni, why did Warner Bros. Pictures promote this film so much?" At this time, a reporter from another media asked, after all, compared with the big-name Antonioni, he is just a fledgling rookie entertainer. "It's very good for a football-type movie to have 20 or 30 million at the North American box office, but Warner Bros. has spent tens of millions on publicity this time, which is definitely a money-losing deal."

"Hehe, the reason is very simple, because the money for this publicity is not Warner Bros. own, but someone paid to hire Warner to help with publicity and marketing, even if it is a loss of money." Antonioni replied.

"Who would be that stupid? Think you have a lot of money? The rookie reporter asked.

"Hey, here, it's supposed to be him!"

A tall and cold sexy girl, at this time led a man in his twenties on the red carpet, although there are very few American entertainment reporters who know this man on the spot, but seeing his handsome appearance and aristocratic temperament, all reporters are not stingy to spend the film on this man.

This man is the investor of the upcoming film, Arthur Walker.

Despite his nervousness, Arthur managed to keep his mind steady, and in any case, as president of the Premier League champion team and the Champions League winning team for many years, he saw a lot of press conferences, which helped him on his first red carpet journey.

"Smile, Arthur, your face is as tight as a stone." Jessica Alba reminded in a low voice.

Even though the flashing lights that lit up from time to time made Arthur very uncomfortable, he still squeezed out a smile on his face, after all, Arthur in this life has become a big man who looks up to both sides of the entertainment story.

On the red carpet, Arthur turned his head sideways to look at Jessica Alba, who was calm but still a little nervous, and gently squeezed the palm of the female companion next to him.

Yes, Jessica Alba is the heroine of the upcoming movie "One Ball to Fame" and one of Arthur's favorite actors - after all, as one of the most well-known Hollywood actresses in Arthur's previous life, Jessica Alba, who has not yet been released in the famous "Fantastic Four" at this time, is one of the most worthy "investment" objects.

The cast of "One Ball to Fame" in this life has changed drastically from the previous life.

In the previous life, Kuno Baker played the male number one Santiago Munez, but Arthur didn't like this shoehorn-faced nobody at all, and chose Channing Tatum, who had a better image and worked harder.

As the most box office appeal of the post-80s Hollywood male star in the future, Channing Tatum, who was named the sexiest man of the year by People magazine in 2012, is naturally better than Kuno Baker, and Channing Tatum's efforts are also appreciated by Michael Winterburton, the director of "One Ball to Fame".

Male No. 2 Gran, in the movie, was the main player of the Premier League powerhouse Blackburn, and then worked as a scout.

Such an identity is not destined to be a sissy image like Stephen Dylan in the previous life, so Jason Statham, who was named the most bodyfit male star in Hollywood in 2013, was brought to Michael Winter Burton by Arthur, and the role belonged to him.

Male No. 3 Gavin, who is a big-name star in Blackburn, naturally Arthur also wants to find a big-name British actor to support the scene, and under the contact of friends, Arthur found Ewan McGregor to make a cameo in this role.

Now Ewan McGregor is red to purple, and this year, the last film in the Star Wars prequel series "Star Wars Prequel III: Revenge of the Sith" in collaboration with Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen and others is about to be released. In the same year, Ivan also co-starred with Hollywood sexy actress Scarlett Johansson in Michael Bay's sci-fi action film "Escape from Clone Island".

In addition to the above changes in the male lead lineup, the female lead does not need to be repeated, starring Jessica Alba.

In addition, British stars such as the new Batman Bale and the "Elf Prince" Orlando Bloom have also made cameos.

With so many British stars appearing in one movie at the same time, it is enough to be a reason for many viewers to walk into the theater. Coupled with the early publicity of the Internet and the media, tickets for the premiere were very tight, and Warner Bros. moved the venue to the largest Chinese Grand Theater, but there were still not enough seats, so more than 20 chairs were added.

The audience seemed very excited, just looking at the stars in the front row, it was already worth the ticket price. These are all specially invited by Arthur, although he is not a person in the entertainment industry, but the influence of the Jack family in the UK, the number of British friends who came to cheer still reached double digits.

It's a no-brainer to see the likes of Bell and Orlando Bloom, but it's a bit of a surprise that the real top names in Hollywood like Nolan and Daniel Day Lewis are also in attendance.

However, Arthur knows that this is all because after his successful investment in the United States, he has become the top person in the United Kingdom in the United States, and this time he has intervened in Hollywood, so it is understandable that these fellows have gathered for him.

The lights on the ceiling went out, and the black screen slowly lit up.

"Producer: Arthur Walker. Director: Michael Winter Burton. Starring: Channing Tatum, Jason Statham, Ewan McGregor, Jessica Alba, ......"

And when this string of names is played on the screen. Jason Statham and Ewan McGregor are okay, Channing Tatum and Jessica Alba and others are a little excited, and Arthur can't hold back the slightest agitation: it turns out that watching his own movie in the theater is so wonderful.

The storyline of "One Ball to Fame" is simple: Santiago Munez, a young boy who followed his father and grandmother across the U.S.-Mexico border at the age of ten, only carries a soccer ball and a photo of a World Cup football match. Soccer is all Santiago is, but as an illegal immigrant, Santiago can't do it despite being good at playing football, so he can only follow his stubborn father everywhere to clean up the homes of wealthy families in the Los Angeles area and earn a meager salary.

One day, scouts from England discovered Santiago's talent and encouraged him to go to England, where football was booming. Santiago arrived at Ewood Park, home of Premier League powerhouse Blackburn, to prepare for a trial.

Unfortunately, the Premier League is a world-class football powerhouse, and Santiago's skills are barely visible in this group of future top players in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and he has learned that in addition to talent, diligent practice is the key to establishing a foothold in professional football.

After Santiago realized his potential, he helped Blackburn Rovers win the Premier League title at the most tense moment, and also became Blackburn's hero

Listening to the enthusiastic applause that erupted in the theater, Arthur's heart completely returned to his stomach, and after watching this movie that completely crushed the original, he already had a strong confidence in the path he had chosen.

Many people came forward to congratulate the crew, and Arthur also gained a lot.

"Jessica, your show is amazing." Arthur expressed his admiration to the beauties around him for the first time after the movie ended.

"Congratulations, Jessica, your acting skills are as amazing as your beauty." After reaping the beautiful smile, Arthur smiled again: "Are you ready to become a big star?" ”

Jessica naturally knew the meaning of his words, and could only give him a pair of charming eyes at this time.

"Trust me, Jessica, you won't regret it when the movie comes down." Arthur believes that this movie will definitely make many people buy tickets repeatedly.

As with all movie premieres, after the film screening, there will be a press conference, and as the crew walks to another room, Michael Winter Burton keeps telling Arthur what to say and what not to say, and finally comes a sentence, "Arthur, if you get into trouble, turn the conversation to me." ”

"No problem." Arthur nodded, experienced the red carpet, with his psychological quality, naturally relaxed a lot, "Don't worry, Michael, I know how to deal with those guys, you must know that on the stage of the Golden Ball Awards and the Champions League final, there are more reporters there than here." ”

After all, it was a press conference in the entertainment industry, and the scene was noisy, and those reporters were scrambling to ask their own questions.

However, these entertainment reporters invited by Warner Bros. are different from the paparazzi after all, although the bottom line is only a little higher, but don't forget that this is a public place, and there are also Arthur and Warner Bros. "PR", so their questions are much milder, and most of the questions are such as "Jessica, how does it feel to star in a movie for the first time", "Channing, is your figure as good as in the movie" and so on.

Especially Jessica Alba, who is sitting next to him, is incomprehensibly beautiful, and there is nothing wrong with her in the movie, this kind of beauty has always been the darling of the media.

"Miss Jessica, we've all noticed that you and Arthur arrived at the theater together, and I'd like to ask what your relationship is?"

Arthur naturally won't come forward to explain that he and Jessica have only met a few times, after all, on the one hand, his scandal with Jessica helped the promotion of "One Ball Fame", and on the other hand, Arthur, who is tired of playing with the British modeling industry, also wants to change his taste and start a relationship seriously, even if this relationship is really in the spotlight.

The premiere of the film is over like this, and all the repercussions will have to wait until tomorrow, judging by the reactions of the audience and critics after the movie, the film should not be a problem in terms of word-of-mouth.

"The family branch of the father and son generations, the emotional branch of the girlfriend, the friendship branch of various friends...... The main line is clear, the side lines are full, and each plot is fully developed and does not slow down. The essence of the drama, the contradictions and conflicts, are well presented in front of the audience. It's a pity that this kind of plot has been overused by directors all over the world, and even the audience, when they see a key conflict, will say: Ah, the following development should be like this...... tradition, which reduced the film to the second rate. However, that's not the evaluation it deserves, at least not mine. I would give it a perfect score because it moved me. I'm sure the director is a man who loves football, or rather, he's someone who understands people who love football. ”

"I've always thought of football as a men's sport, even though I'm not a masculine. Passionate, passionate, bloody, there are more than enough words to describe the first sport. And this movie interprets it very well. When the camera panned over St James' Park, when tens of thousands of people sang a song and waved the same towels, when the ball rolled into the goal, I was blown away, and the real sense of presence was completely displayed in front of my eyes, and it made people feel in it. That's what touches me the most as a fan."

After Abby, the personal secretary, finished reading, put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked at Arthur, who was eating breakfast, "You can read the rest for yourself." ”

"Please, Abby." Arthur shoved the omelette into his mouth and said indistinctly, "Read me a few more." ”

Pouting, Abby, who was jealous because of Jessica Alba, picked up another newspaper and quickly flipped to the entertainment edition, "Truth, is one of the highlights of this movie." Authentic dribbling movements, moving forward with the ball full of texture, every action is professional. It's a film worth watching, whether you're a fan or not, it's going to make you fall in love with football. ”

"That's it?" Arthur pursed his lips, seemingly dissatisfied with the compliment.

"What else do you want them to compliment you?" Abby glared at him and threw the pile of newspapers directly on the table, "Some of the praise is too numb, you better read it yourself." ”

"Don't do that, Abby." Arthur muttered discontentedly, "Don't you want to see what they say about your wise boss?" ”

Seeing that Abby didn't pay attention to himself at all, Arthur had to finish his breakfast in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and rummaged in the newspaper, of course, the voice of criticism is not absent, no matter where, no matter who it is, it is impossible to win everyone's appreciation, and he doesn't want his eyes to look for abuse, all such reports are thrown aside.

"I'm bored, do you want to tease Jessica's chick?" (To be continued.) )
