985 Seismic effects
The Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills has always been a gathering place for celebrities, especially since the annual Golden Globe Awards are held here, and media reporters are all too familiar with it. Today, the Hilton Hotel once again ushered in a surging crowd, even if it was not inferior to the Toronto Film Festival in full swing, and it seemed that overnight, all the reporters rushed back from Toronto and rushed to Los Angeles.www.biquge.info
Looking at the red news hall in front of me, the crowd is far beyond imagination, the space that can accommodate 300 people is as if it is already full of 500 people, and the whole space is about to be crowded. Javier Ulliel looked down at his watch, it was only ten o'clock at this time, and there was still a full hour before the press conference, and when he looked up again, the lively scene in front of him still did not change.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please move to the banquet hall on the third floor, please move to the banquet hall on the third floor......" Several waiters walked into the news hall and began to take steps in different directions, shouting loudly, the crowd began to move slowly, and the restlessness became more and more turbulent.
Javier had accurately squeezed into the crowd, but now he took advantage of it, turned around and walked directly out of the press hall, identified some directions, and took a step in the direction of the elevator.
Today is the official press conference of "Iron Man", all the main members of the crew will attend, answer the basic questions of reporters, ten days later, "Iron Man" will be officially launched, this will be the first move of Chaos Pictures after the "Fury Road" set off a midsummer frenzy, and it is naturally the attention of everyone.
If it's just "Iron Man", the weight is still not enough, after all, the director is Jon Favreau, not the one people expect, but just two days ago, the "Wall Street Journal" exclusively broke the news: Lance's next work is officially confirmed, and he will take the guide tube and put "The Incredible Hulk" on the big screen! As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation throughout North America.
Not "Iron Man", but "The Incredible Hulk"! All the previous chasing after the wind and shadows does not seem to be groundless, Lance is indeed about to direct a comic book adaptation, but it is just "The Incredible Hulk", which will not only be "Sin City" After that, Lance once again took over the guide of the comic book adaptation; At the same time, it is also the second move of Chaos Pictures in a short period of time, starting to shoot two commercial films with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in one go, and such courage has indeed caused a sensation throughout North America.
Hollywood's seventh gamer showed its edge for the first time - no taoguang, no evasion, no deliberate weakness, no recuperation, not even breathing room, "Fury Road" is still in the top five ranks of the North American box office charts, tirelessly hitting 600 million moats, Chaos Pictures has already made a big move to show the next plan, and it is such a huge plan, so ambitious that it is eye-catching.
Not only that, but people must also note that among the thousands of comic book superheroes, the choice of the role of the Hulk really broke everyone's glasses. It's not that the Hulk is too unpopular, but because the Hulk is too tricky, three years ago, it made Lee/An a heel, and the North American box office was not even able to exceed the investment cost line on the books, with a loss of up to 70 million - this is still the result of counting all the subsequent peripheral income, and Universal Pictures almost didn't slow down in one breath; Even word-of-mouth is a comprehensive hit the street, and the comprehensive criticism of film critics, Rotten Tomatoes, and the audience almost ruined Lee/An's directorial career, and the disheartened Lee/An turned around and took over such a cold and tricky independent film as "Brokeback Mountain".
Now, Lance has actually chosen the Hulk remake, is this reckless, or confident, or arrogant?
Within twelve hours of the Wall Street Journal scoop, the Wall Street Journal was the subject of a national buzz, with everyone voicing their opinions, but at the same time, loyal fans were eager to learn more about the details, such as how Lance wanted to create the Hulk; For another example, when does Lance plan to officially start up; For example, who will play the Hulk...... It's just a "news", Chaos Pictures and Lance didn't even have an official response, people couldn't bear to look forward to it, and what was even more incredible was that no audience questioned Lance's choice, it seemed that everyone had acquiesced, this would be another peerless masterpiece, and that sense of expectation easily surpassed "Iron Man" and became the hottest topic at the moment.
As the highest-selling newspaper in the country, the sales of this issue of the "Wall Street Journal" reached a new high, easily breaking the highest sales in 2006, and even surpassing the record-breaking sales of a series of feature articles in the summer of this year's "Fury Road". The Wall Street Journal was rumored to have bought the scoop for $300,000, and now it appears that they have doubled or even tripled their efforts, and the commercial value of the name "Lancelot-Strello" is shining.
Just the rumor of a new project caused such a seismic effect, and Hollywood's golden age was no more than that.
After the news was released, Green Ridge Street was instantly flooded by reporters, and even the cleaners who cleaned for Chaos Pictures were surrounded by groups, eager to rummage through the garbage and find more information, but Chaos Pictures did not express any opinion, but responded in an official tone, "At present, the company is developing in an orderly manner according to the plan, and the specific situation is still waiting for the official announcement." Lance is currently busy with the preliminary work of "Iron Man", and will only have time to think about other situations after the movie officially starts. ”
The paparazzi reluctantly waited outside the villa in Malibu for two days, but nothing was gained, and the three brothers, Theo, Ian and Gawain, all showed up one after another, but there was no Lance. In desperation, everyone can only pin their hopes on today's press conference.
When he came to the banquet hall on the third floor, the words "'Iron Man' press conference venue" were erected at the door, and Javier determined that it should be the Hilton Hotel official who made adjustments in time according to the situation. As soon as he entered the banquet hall as one of the first reporters, Javier quickly took a vantage point in the front row and began to prepare for the upcoming press conference.
In the blink of an eye, reporters poured into the banquet hall like a tide, and there were more and more acquaintances around Javier, when he saw Nancy Black's sweaty expression, Javier couldn't help but show a big smile, the two of them nodded and gestured, Nancy stepped forward and asked, "Do you believe it?" ”
Nancy asked about the credibility of the "Wall Street Journal" news, with the weak background of Chaos Pictures, and the filming of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" at the same time, it is estimated that the situation is tight, although the profit of "Fury Road" is considerable, but now the movie is still being released, not to mention the follow-up peripheral profits, and even the box office dividends are temporarily unable to start, in other words, Chaos Pictures is relying on the income from the previous works to invest in filming, and the situation is definitely more tense than when "Fury Road" was desperate.
Of course, taking a step back, that's how the whole of Wall Street works, with bank loans, hoarding shorts, inside information, virtual funds, and so on, making money and rolling money out of money, and those billionaires are more or less burdened with loans, but their net worth is positive. But isn't Chaos Pictures too aggressive? The storms and rains of the "Fury Road" have not completely calmed down, so they will directly go both?
"Why not?" Javier shrugged his shoulders and looked calm, as if he had calmly accepted the facts.
"I knew Lance was a madman, but I didn't expect him to be crazy beyond imagination." Nancy tucked her chin, her eyes widened, and she said seriously.
Xavier couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Who knows, maybe, he can really break the blockade of the Big Six." ”
What if you were as steady as DreamWorks? The sword is biased, radical and decisive, once it fails, it is shattered, but once it succeeds?
Nancy pursed her lips, but there was still a glint of disagreement in her eyes, she was not a gambler after all.
However, after talking for a while, when Javier turned back again, he felt that the entire banquet hall was crowded again, and he couldn't help frowning, the news hall just now seemed to be stuffed, and it didn't really explode; But now the banquet hall is actually full? Could it be his delusion?
You know, the banquet hall can accommodate enough for 800 people, even if there is no problem in holding a grand graduation ball, but now it is actually crowded by journalists? It's so incredible that even if you include the space occupied by the journalists' photographic equipment, it's still unbelievable.
Javier didn't have time to think deeply, and there was a commotion ahead, and then Jimmy-Fallon, the comedian who has been in the mix for the past five years, has been critically acclaimed for his performances on "Saturday Night Live" and starred as a guest host on "The David Letterman Late Show" in 2003.
Didn't think of it. Today, Jimmy is the host of the press conference, and this standard treatment has been completely different from the "Fury Road" period. Just a detail, the foundation of Chaos Pictures seems to have quietly changed.
"Test, test......" Jimmy's voice came out of the microphone, "I need everyone to be quiet, because the protagonists have arrived and are ready to play." Before they make their official appearance, I need to show off my funny talents and make sure they have the right host to secure my future work. The reporters on the scene laughed, "Good, this is a good start." By the way, a reminder, the one everyone is looking forward to has arrived at the scene. Hush! I didn't say who it was. ”
