On May 13th, "Troy" held a grand global simultaneous premiere, which was grandly debuted in five major cities around the world, gathering more than 20,000 spectators, pushing the original sensational momentum of "Troy" to the peak in one fell swoop, and the lively scene easily became the biggest hit of this year's summer file!

In the limelight, the shining appearance of an uninvited guest attracts all eyes, and even Brad Pitt's light is blocked, making everyone invariably ask the same question: who is this languid and uninhibited man!

When the answer was revealed, everyone suddenly realized: he was the director of "The Day After Tomorrow", the disaster blockbuster released a week before "Troy", and the biggest dark horse so far this year; What's even more rare is that he is also the director of this year's Oscar winner for Best Foreign Language Film "City of God", and "The Day After Tomorrow" is the second work of his career.

"Wow!" exclaimed again and again, such a charismatic and talented director, what kind of work does he know? Maybe you can go into the cinema to see the "day after tomorrow" that is being screened.

From London to Berlin, to Tokyo, and finally back to New York and Los Angeles, the audience did not notice the undercurrent surging under the harmonious atmosphere, and the emotions were mobilized lightly, and then screamed and shouted frantically, faintly pushing the atmosphere of the simultaneous world premiere of "Troy" to a new peak.

Faced with such a situation, Brad's mood is extremely entangled, should he be happy or depressed?

Does Lance know this is a simultaneous world premiere? Of course he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to take the initiative today. It is precisely because he knows the importance of today's occasion that Lance is sure that Brad will not dare to tear his face with him, then his unexpected appearance will have the absolute upper hand, and this is a great opportunity to promote the "day after tomorrow" - since Warner Bros. and Diorama Pictures want to hype, then he will accompany him to the end!

He is never shy about challenges.

Hearing Brad's polite words, Lance always kept a big smile on his face. Expertly patted Brad on the shoulder, "Ladies, gentlemen, this is Brad Pitt." The audience subconsciously burst into warm applause. But no one could figure out what was going on with Lance's play, and then Lance went on to say, "He's always been so humble and so polite. Even like me, I'm just a director who has directed two films. There are still many shortcomings and still needs to be learned, but Brad never minds. It's like two days ago, someone sued me, and now a lot of people are talking about the box office competition between 'the day after tomorrow' and 'Troy', and I think it's a joke. Because it is absolutely impossible for 'the day after tomorrow' to compete with 'Troy'. However, Brad was suspicious of my friendship and always treated me with enough respect. That's why I always admire Brad so much. ”

Many of Brad's loyal fans began to whistle one after another, they couldn't hear Lance's pistol with a stick, only heard Lance praising his idol. And so they began to cheer. Lance even raised his hands high to stir up the atmosphere of the scene, and at this time, Brad was completely difficult to ride a tiger.

The crowd was heckling, screaming, and shouting, and at the same time, London, Berlin, Tokyo, and four other cities in New York immediately responded with almost everyone getting agitated, and the shouts were higher and higher, pushing the simultaneous world premiere of "Troy" to a whole new high/climax.

The scorching and crazy atmosphere vividly interprets the essence of the summer file.

In fact, if it is placed on other occasions. Brad was completely in stride in the face of Lance's provocation, but today was really too special, this was the world premiere of "Troy". Brad is the host, and he must welcome every guest with an open heart. What's more, Lance's sudden appearance caught everyone off guard, and this little advantage is often easily magnified several times in such a high-profile situation.

Looking at the surging posture in front of him, Brad was already aggrieved to the extreme. Knowing that Lance was talking nonsense, he still had to show a big smile, waved his hand to the audience and the audience in front of the screen, patted Lance's chest with a smile, and said politely, "He is always so modest." ”

"So, Lance, what do you think of this week's weekend box office competition?" Conan took the initiative to speak again, but after saying this, Brad looked directly over and cast a sharp look.

Conan doesn't know why, the topic of box office wars is inevitable, rather than waiting for reporters to ask questions, it is better for him to ask questions, at least the situation can be controlled, which is also Warner Bros. gave Conan a special explanation before the premiere. I just heard that Lance himself took the initiative to bring up the topic of box office, so Conan took advantage of the trend. But why is Brad having a cannibalistic look?

Lance heard Conan's question, and secretly clenched his fist in his heart, Conan really played the instinct/ability of the talk show host to see the seams, seized the opportunity from his tirade, and once again brought up the topic of the box office war. In fact, even if Conan doesn't mention it this time, Lance will hint again next, because he knows that this is today's hot topic, whether everyone likes it or not, whether they like it or not, this is the core topic that cannot be avoided.

The mention of box office wars at the premiere of "Troy" also means that the frequency of ...... "acquired day" has increased rapidly.

"Hope you don't lose too badly?" Lance's half-joking words made the audience laugh, and he didn't give Brad more space, and directly completed a seamless connection with Conan, continuing the topic, "If half of the audience watching 'Troy' would be willing to walk into the screening room next door and support my work, I would have slept and woke up laughing." Of course, I would never admit that I woke up twice in the middle of the night last night. ”

Just as all reporters were wondering: Lance took the initiative today, but why did he always show weakness on the topic of box office? Is it because after standing face to face, I can't pull off my face and tear it directly? But then, Lance gave everyone an unexpected surprise - the subtext of Lance's words just now was that in his dream, the second week of "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy" were not left behind under the strong suppression!

Dreams can sometimes be seen as unrealistic daydreams, and sometimes they can be seen as bold self-confidence. The occasion for speaking determines a qiē. At this moment, Lance is obviously expressing a clear position: the "day after tomorrow" collides with "Troy", and it is not necessarily going to fall behind.

"Hehe, it's better to daydream less." Brad finally didn't hold back, and under Lance's step-by-step pressing, he had to launch a counterattack, otherwise he would only become more and more passive. However, even so, Brad still controlled his feelings, and said happily in a brisk and teasing tone, "After all, we all know that indulging in daydreams is not a good thing, and may even lead to disaster. ”

Although Brad spoke with ease, Lance, who was close at hand, could feel his muscles tense silently. Lance believes that Brad has such self-control and will not make a fool of himself in front of the public, and the current state of restraint is estimated to be Brad's extreme, but today's initiative is not in Brad's hands.

The lilting smile on Lance's face vanished, replaced by a rather helpless look, then shrugged his shoulders and said in a playful tone, "Yes, yes, that makes sense." Perhaps, I should accept the facts, accept the fact that the 'day after tomorrow' box office is bound to fail miserably, you know, life will always go on. ”

Lance This is an obvious ironic tone, listening to the audience's ears, this is self-mocking, self-mocking words, "Saturday Night Live", "Tonight Show" and other talk shows are really commonplace, all the audience burst into laughter. But after laughing, you can taste a trace of bitterness in Lance's words: in front of a behemoth like "Troy", there is really not much room for the "day after tomorrow" to survive.

The most important thing is that in the ears of reporters, the subtext of this sentence is to say, "Brad is too arrogant, the box office of the premiere of 'Troy' is still unknown, and he is already confident that there is no chance for 'the day after tomorrow'." This is Hollywood, and no work can be underestimated. What's more, the premiere box office of 'The Day After Tomorrow' has far exceeded expectations, and it has the ability to call for the market. Brad's hubris is really stupid and ridiculous. ”

Regardless of whether the reporter supports "Troy" or "the day after tomorrow", and whether the reporter is watching a good show or taking sides, no one can deny that Lance suddenly reined in all his edges and appeared in front of the public as a weakling, especially at the grand premiere of "Troy", the effect is really intriguing.

Brad was caught off guard again by Lance's sudden weakness, and the root cause was the follow-up reaction of the powerful impact brought by the uninvited guest, but Brad quickly calmed down and opened his mouth to prepare to fight back at Lance. At this point, Brad only needs to sneer at Lance a few words to defuse the situation - because Brad's blatant inching will give the audience the illusion that "this is a joke between two best friends", which is also to advance and retreat.

Brad had even figured out how to fight back in his mind, but at this time, Lance suddenly gave Brad a hug, not to mention Brad, even George and Conan, who were standing next to him, were stunned, and Brad's muscles tightened: he and Lance are really not familiar with each other, and today is only the second time they have met, and Lance's sudden intimate behavior naturally makes Brad unable to parry.

The sudden hug disrupted Brad's plan to fight back, and the audience still didn't know why, but they began to scream and shout simply because of this "friendly" scene, and the temperature seemed to rise quietly again.

One wrong step, one wrong step, after missing the opportunity, now the situation is falling into the hands of Lance step by step. (To be continued.) )
