986 Historical Stage
At the moment of the birth of history, people are often unaware of it at the moment, and only by waiting for the proof of time can the true face of the historical node be transformed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info just like now, September 29, 2006, a very ordinary Friday, the coldness of the autumn file makes people turn their attention away from the movie, the excitement of the Venice Film Festival has just ended, and the noise of the Toronto Film Festival has seized the attention of the mainstream media in North America, Chaos Pictures chose to hold a press conference on the launch of "Iron Man" at this time, which seems to be a little low-key, despite this, The press conference attracted more than 600 reporters from 260 media outlets -- and the effects of the "Fury Road" seemed to be still boiling in the air.
But everyone involved did not expect that this press conference really became a watershed for Hollywood, not only truly marking Chaos Pictures becoming the seventh player to change the pattern, but also marking that the Hollywood film market has entered an era of dynasty change...... Everyone is witnessing the process of Chaos Pictures making history step by step.
Standing in the crowd of reporters, Javier could feel the vivid restlessness and boiling, and vaguely smelled the clues on the eve of the outbreak of the big event, but he didn't know what the two works of "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" meant and what they would bring.
Jimmy ** has been rolling around "Saturday Night Live" for years, and being the host of the press conference is a complete breeze for him, "Guys, guys, this is our crew, good, that's the end of the press conference." Jimmy's serious words made the reporters suddenly commotion, and the protests came one after another, while the crew members who stood on the stage and waited for the end of the photo session couldn't help laughing-
Obviously, the reporters are not very satisfied with the crew members who are currently on stage, Jon Favreau, Rachel McAdams, Robert De Niro Jr., Jeff Bridges and Jamie Fox, such a cast lineup is simply not enough to attract so many reporters, none of them is a first-line big name, and Jamie, who has the best development performance in recent years, can only be regarded as a second-line, and Rachel, who is a little red in the green bush, is still not widely known enough to rely on the "Love Notebook" the year before last. Therefore, Jimmy worked hard to introduce the cast lineup to the stage one by one, but the reporters in the audience were always a little absent-minded, and Jimmy had the ridicule just now.
Robert put his hands in front of him in a decent way, trying to laugh along with everyone, but he seemed a little smiling, the last time he held a press conference for his work as the leading actor was eleven years ago, he could barely remember what it felt like to be shrouded in magnesium lights, which made him a little nervous. The media seemed to have forgotten about him a long time ago, and the atmosphere at the scene was never too enthusiastic, which made him start to doubt himself, "Is it because of me?" Still don't welcome me? Is it that the film has been shrouded in the shadow of failure? What's more, he hadn't spoken to Lance alone since he arrived at the scene today, and he wasn't quite sure how much of an impact his "little accident" had, which made his mouth so dry that he couldn't laugh at all.
"It reminds me of the impromptu meeting in the gymnasium in high school." Jimmy's casual teaser succeeded in making many reporters laugh, "But I'm not sure if everyone's reaction when the 'principal' was present today still hasn't changed at all, or is it ...... Uh, our quarterback? ”
Javier immediately understood the humor in Jimmy's words, whistled, and began to heckle; Nancy, who was standing next to her, also shouted, "Wow! Roar! The commotion of the reporters gradually subsided, replaced by whistles, shouts, cheers, and applause.
Even Jon, who was standing on the stage, took the lead in whistling and applauding, and his expression of fear of chaos succeeded in stirring up the atmosphere. It was not until this moment that the turbulence of the press conference scene began to emerge.
Jimmy took a half step back and raised his right hand in an inviting gesture, "Ladies and gentlemen, Lancelot-Strello." ”
There was no embellishment, no introduction, no cumbersomeness, just the name was pronounced, and in an instant, all the reporters in the audience held their breath, the screams, whistles, and shouts were all left in their throats, and even the applause disappeared, and all eyes accompanied the lens of the camera, all of them aimed in the same direction, and then, Lance appeared.
The sound of the shutter of "click, click" was connected in an eerie silence, as if it was a pious applause, welcoming the focus of today's audience, the continuous shutter sound and the dazzling light of the flashing lights were intertwined, and the entire red banquet hall instantly became a stage, a stage that belonged only to one person.
Everyone watched as Lance calmly walked onto the stage, standing in the center with ease, and accepted the photo, but in less than thirty seconds, Lance turned around and walked towards the crew members, Javier opened his mouth, and before the voice could be made, the anxious voices of other colleagues sounded around him, "Wait", "Stop"...... The shouts continued, but the flash and shutter didn't stop, even when Lance was facing away from the camera.
But such earnest restlessness still didn't make Lance stop, he walked to the side of the crew, then turned around, found a position on the far left, and prepared to take a group photo with all the members, but the reporters obviously couldn't accept this fact, and shouted for Lance to stand in the center, and even Jon and others took the initiative to give up their positions - everyone knew that even though Lance was only the producer of "Iron Man", he was still undoubtedly the biggest focus of the whole work.
"Lance, can you take a picture with Jon alone?"
"Rachel, Rachel, stand next to Lance, yes, yes, Lance, look at the camera, here! Here! ”
"Robert, Jamie, you guys stand on either side of Lance, that's it, perfect, good!"
"Here, Lance, one step forward, yes, one more step! Hey Jeff, can you distance yourself a bit? Very good! ”
"Lance, Lance, Lance......"
The shouts were incessant, the whole banquet hall was filled with longing and urgency, no doubt pointing to the same name, and all the reporters were targeting Lance as if no one else existed, and even Rachel didn't enjoy much of a privilege. The photo session lasted nearly twenty minutes, and two-thirds of the time was filled with shouts of "Lance", even the premiere of the film or the Oscars were too small to imagine, it was just a press conference.
Finally, when the commotion subsided, the staff moved the long table onto the stage, and the crew members sat down in their respective seats, and Jimmy humorously quipped, "If my principal felt this enthusiasm, he would have burst into tears." "So, let's start the question-and-answer session......" Before the words fell, all the reporters raised their arms high, and the dense straight arms were like a dense forest, "Wow." Jimmy raised an eyebrow and sighed, "I was the first to answer the question, so?" Jimmy's funny, suddenly all his arms were put down again, Jimmy didn't speak, just spread his hands speechlessly, with a depressed expression, which caused laughter again, Jimmy picked up the microphone again, "Good, I know everyone's goal, Lance?" ”
Brushing brush, just a name, the reporters couldn't wait to raise their arms again, Jimmy found this kind of scene really interesting, maybe it could happen in middle school or elementary school, but in Hollywood, it is really rare, especially the reporters are so "well-behaved and obedient", it is really a wonderful joy.
Jimmy wanted to continue playing, but fearing to provoke the crowd, glanced around, pointed to a reporter standing in front of him, and designated the first question. Then everyone's eyes were projected, and Javier suddenly felt extremely heavy pressure on his shoulders, and under the watchful eye, Javier raised his voice and said, "Lance, it is rumored that your next work will feature the Hulk as the main character, is this true?" ”
Even Javier, who couldn't go against his curiosity, finally asked this ultimate question. In an instant, all eyes fell on Lance, even the members of the "Iron Man" crew on stage, including Jimmy, everyone was curious about the question - Jon was even more excited than the reporters, and simply turned to the side and looked at Lance face to face, his burning gaze slowly began to heat up the air, as if he could light a flame at any moment.
Lance picked up the microphone and gave a shallow smile, "Yes." ”
The crisp and neat answer, without any detours or cover-ups, calmly gave a positive response, and in an instant, the entire banquet hall was fried, and everyone unconsciously emitted onomatopoeia, "ah", "grass", "really", "crazy"...... The mind can't turn around at all, and can only reflexively vent the inner shock, no one can be an exception, even Javier, even Nancy, even those senior Hollywood professionals, can't suppress the turmoil in their hearts, the kind of magma that is surging under the layers of volcanic ash, seems to be about to move.
"'The Incredible Hulk,' that's the name of my work in the pipeline."
