206 After Tomorrow
The premiere ceremony of "The Day After Tomorrow" has just begun, and there are waves of surprises, especially the confrontation between Lance and reporters, which makes the topic burst out with unimaginable sparks, Javier couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, turned his head and inadvertently touched Nancy's gaze, Javier raised his chin defiantly, as if to say, "How is it?" And that's just the beginning! ”
Nancy rolled her eyes speechlessly, although helpless, she had no way to refute, and she must admit that today's premiere ceremony was indeed wonderful. However, Nancy raised her chin without showing weakness and fought back directly, "This is just the beginning!" Not to mention that the final decision is the film itself, even the premiere ceremony is only a third of the way through, and it is obviously too early to be complacent.
Things are as Nancy expected, the premiere has experienced the topic explosion of the star-studded segment in the first half of the opening fan noise, and the second half is obviously lacking in stamina, with the starring cast led by Dennis Quaid, Jack Gyllenhaal, Jessica Alba, and the cast appeared one after another, but it was not able to create more highlights, but it made the atmosphere of the scene slowly precipitate, and I felt that the surrounding atmosphere was always haunted by a frivolous and restless atmosphere. In the end, the premiere opened high and went low, and the curtain slowly came to an end.
Nancy cast a defiant look at Javier and grinned brightly, silence now better than sound.
Xavier is not annoyed, the "acquired" cast lineup lacks heavyweight stars, and it is not a matter of a day or two that people have been criticized for it, which is also the biggest weakness of the "day after tomorrow" to break into the summer file. Even the best propaganda tactics can hardly turn decay into magic - this shows why the box office superstars of the "20 million club" have always been transcendent. To be able to achieve such an effect today is far beyond expectations!
Javier gave Nancy a confident smile and fought back without showing any weakness, "We'll see." Then he quickly packed up his gear – and then walked into the cinema. Truly enter the decisive part: watch the movie!
Entering the quaint screening hall of the Chinese/Chinese Theater, the entire space was already full, and more than 800 spectators were whispering in silence. The restless heat slowly spread in the air. Obviously, everyone was excited—not to mention the audience. Even the 200 journalists who were able to make it to the premiere were no exception.
The main reason is that in the past eight months, the topic of the greenhouse effect has attracted so much attention that even people who have no interest in the greenhouse effect know a little bit about it, and it has even become an important topic in the presidential election. Now, the film known as the "Greenhouse Effect Apocalypse" will be staged in front of everyone, showing the predicted end of the world in front of everyone. How can this not be exciting?
Javier quickly found his place -- the New York Times got two spots, in addition to him. Joshua-Rothkopf had already entered the screening room early and took his seat early. Joshua is one of the full-time film critics of the "New York Times", and he is a senior and professional authority, and he is definitely not on the same level as Javier, an entertainment reporter who is a halfway monk. The New York Times sent Joshua to the premiere of "The Day After Tomorrow" this time, which shows the importance they attach to this film.
Javier and Joshua simply nodded in greeting, and then sat down slightly nervously. Participated in the premiere before, Javier's work basically ended on the red carpet, and this time it was mainly because of Lance's relationship. He was able to write blogs, so he was able to get into the film screening segment, as a layman. The thought of writing a film review made Javier feel a dull pain in his brain.
Joshua seemed to sense Javier's nervousness and chuckled, "Just enjoy the movie." Javier didn't expect Joshua to suddenly talk to him, and he didn't react for a while, but he was stunned. Joshua had to go on to explain, "It's a commercial movie, popcorn and coke, enjoy the whole movie." That's the purpose. ”
Javier stared blankly at Joshua for a moment, and Joshua shrugged innocently. It's as if to say, "Isn't that a matter of course? Then he withdrew his gaze. Javier came to his senses. Nodding stunnedly, after carefully reminiscing, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
The lights in the screening room slowly dimmed, and then the opening credits of Twentieth Century Fox began to appear, which was all too familiar to most audiences, and the humming noise in the screening room gradually subsided, and everyone began to withdraw their attention; But then another picture appeared on the big screen, a point of light gradually magnified, and then exploded into a black hole, and the gorgeous aurora bloomed beautiful fireworks in space, interpreting the meaning of chaos to the extreme, and finally escaped into nothingness, and the words "Chaos Pictures" appeared at this time.
The entire screening room fell silent, and the beginning of the black hole explosion was only fourteen seconds, but the visual shock it brought was a powerful impact on the eyes of every audience. Compared with the "City of God", it is obvious that this time Chaos Pictures appeared in front of more people with a proud attitude.
Javier couldn't help but adjust his sitting position, let out a long breath, and entered the world of cinema under the melodious and tragic orchestral music.
The vast snowfield is slowly unfolded in front of all the audience with the accompaniment of the majestic symphony, and the documentary-like lens shows the magnificence of nature in front of everyone, so that when the camera overlooks a human research base from the sky, the incomparable stark contrast shows the insignificance of human beings clearly and shockingly in front of all audiences.
Surprisingly, the first person to appear in the picture is actually Jason played by Michael Fassbender.
Suddenly, the entire snowfield cracked, and the landslide that looked like an earthquake appeared without warning, and the ice where Jason was located fell straight down. The movie has just begun, and the thrilling plot makes all the viewers have to get into the groove quickly, and just when everyone thinks Jason is going to be cannon fodder, the gripping rescue operation begins to unfold. Jack rescues Jason first, and then the scientific research. But the entire ice shelf has completely cracked, as if the Grand Canyon Park is broadcasting all the formation process in front of you!
Javier's eyes widened and he turned to look at Joshua. He apparently didn't expect that the opening was only five minutes into reads();. The movie begins with a struggle between humans and nature, reminiscent of the high/low part of the "vertical limit". It was a pleasant surprise.
As a commercial film, the thrilling opening obviously caught the audience's attention!
However, Joshua had a calm and calm expression, and only raised his eyebrows slightly. This frustrated Javier a little, and he turned his head to see through the faint light of the screen, and then Javier saw the cheeks with their mouths open in astonishment—obviously. Most people were caught off guard by such a thrilling opening of the movie, and he was one of the majority. This made Javier slightly reassured.
The story moves forward quickly, and there is little nonsense, and Jack Hall gave a speech above the United Nations Global Warming Conference in New Delhi, expressing his concern about the acceleration of the greenhouse effect and the possible consequences, but apparently, politicians led by the vice president of the United States are not worried about such a situation, because the current crisis of the world economy is more urgent than the possible end of the world in a hundred years.
The indifference of the politicians contrasts sharply with Jack's eagerness.
Shortly after the meeting in New Delhi, Hunchun, China, became the first disaster site in the world. The basin-sized hailstone killed the head of the family as he was about to rush home, and even submerged the entire city, and the small city fell into a dead silence. A catastrophic hurricane began to sweep across the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the raging sea began to flood the islands.
Javier's heart tightened, and he realized that what Jack feared had already begun to happen, not a hundred years later, but now, the Ice Age was coming, and it was not alarmist, but real. But no one expected this. The vice president even intends to cut the budget of Jack's department. The invisible tension and excitement began to fill the air.
Javier's palms began to sweat, and he only hoped that the damned bureaucrats would come to their senses soon. Realized, this is not a joke. The end of the world has come, and every minute of delay will cost thousands of lives.
But, it's still too late!
The cyclone over Los Angeles began to spin rapidly, forming a huge vortex from above; At the same time, the cyclone in Los Angeles also rose rapidly, and two huge air masses converged in mid-air, and finally formed a powerful hurricane. What's even more terrifying is that not only one hurricane, but at least six hurricanes in the entire Los Angeles area made landfall at the same time, and the powerful hurricane swept by, directly shattering the iconic "Hollywood landmark" and beginning to destroy the entire city.
In the midst of the storm, two huge hurricanes converged into one, and the huge air mass became bigger and stronger, two, three, four...... Even the streets of the city could not contain the size of the hurricane, and the huge hurricane swept through in a devastating manner, and the lives were shattered in front of the eyes, and even the entire Weather Bureau building was swept away in half, leaving only half of the staircase standing in place, while behind it was the hurricane that swept by, continuing to destroy Los Angeles - the whole city was in ruins.
The vivid images were powerful, and the adrenaline rush made the eyes of all the audience in the screening room widen in amazement as they watched as their city was completely destroyed, and the rapid breathing sounded like a symphony with the hurricane on the big screen.
Javier watched in amazement at the deserted Los Angeles on the big screen, the buildings and streets that he was familiar with had been completely destroyed, and the bustling City of Angels had become history. His brain had completely stopped, and his only thought was:
"The day after tomorrow (rrow)", this is not about the day after tomorrow, but about the day after tomorrow. The end of the world is coming tomorrow, and after tomorrow, the world will be desolate. (To be continued.) )
