Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Premiere Banquet
The whole movie of "60 Seconds" is nearly 120 minutes, which belongs to the duration of traditional commercial films, and this time is the maximum time limit for general commercial films and directors to let the audience sit here. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
Of course, this is also good for cinema scheduling and distributors, and a shorter time is definitely more cost-effective for cinemas. At the very least, they can arrange a few more films.
The focus of the last scene is naturally on the protagonist Nicolas Cage's Manfis, who drives the 67-year-old Mustang Elena galloping down the street very smoothly, and the most shocking scene is the scene where he drives the Mustang to escape from the police and fly over the Golden Gate Bridge.
This scene still made many viewers excited, and at the same time, the American muscle car expounded also met the spiritual needs of Americans. High horsepower and the pursuit of linear acceleration, which are in line with the tone of Lao Mei. So this nostalgic 67-year-old Mustang definitely belongs to the American spirit.
The finale is naturally a happy one, the villain is killed by the male protagonist, and the protagonist saves family, friends and loved ones. At the same time, it also saves the police, which is definitely the main theme of the American movie. At the end, there is a picture of family fun, which is also the right choice for commercial films. In popcorn movies, few directors dare to take the risk of ending in tragedy. If it does, it is doomed to failure.
Commercial films, few people dare to drown the actor like Cameron, and of course, there are few movies that will grow against the box office when they start unfavorably like a big boat, and they rely on the number of weeks of screening to pry open the wallets of all fans.
The last shot is a big BBQ, listening to a few people chatting there, Sean's Sphinx has his back against the sunset, the light is sprinkled on his shoulders, and his eyes are squinted, looking particularly stylish.
"His wounds, if you enlighten you, recognize the cruel end of your criminal life, and make your life change." Sean's Sphinx's magnetic voice sounded, and many friends on the screen all showed surprised expressions, obviously no one expected Sphinx to be able to speak.
Then his wounds will be both honorable and glorious. We should all be lucky that you say 'poor Toby'. Sean's Sphinx shrugged his shoulders, looked at the sunset not far away, and said to himself, "I said, it should be, 'Poor us'"
The little black man looked at Sean in a daze, while the other character on the side spread his hands in surprise, "Can he speak?" ”
"Yay......"
"I always thought you were an American rain man."
"Hey...... Haha......"
Everyone laughed, and Sphink took a sip of beer and looked around at everyone.
"Men should not focus on words, but on actions." The cool appearance stunned everyone in the movie.
At the same time, the audience at the scene was also stunned, everyone was surprised by the director's easter egg, and they all thought that Sphinx was a dumb person.
At the end of the movie, the main creator came to the stage to thank him, and when Sean stood on the stage, many viewers recognized this tough guy and greeted him with laughter, and some people called his name at the same time. This flattered Sean, and it was very cool to find out for the first time that someone was still calling his name.
After the premiere, Warner and Jerry Bruckheimer, who had deep pockets, naturally held a premiere party as usual. The party was chosen at the Billy Wellshire Hotel.
"Hey, it looks like you guys had a great chat, don't you mind if we join in?" Nicolas Cage smiled and walked over to Sean, glass in hand, followed by his wife, Patricia Arquette.
"Of course not, we're talking about you." Sean smiled and raised his glass to touch Patricia, "It's been a long time since I've seen Arquette, you're pretty again." ”
"This is the best compliment I've heard tonight......" Patricia Arquette greeted Sean with a smile, as well as Angelina, Duke, and Naya. It can be seen that she is in a good mood.
"Sean, Patricia has something to tell you." Nicolas Cage smiled and motioned for his wife and Sean to explain.
"It's like this, Sean, my mother died of breast cancer in '97......"
"It's a pity." Sean and the others raised their glasses and apologized.
"That's why every year I work with women's organizations to launch campaigns to fight breast cancer and focus on women's health. Last year, 'Run for Help' was launched. At the beginning of next year, there will be a public welfare activity of 'Running for Treatment, Escorting Health', and I hope you can participate, and at the same time, Cage and I have invited many friends to participate. ”
"No problem, time tells me and I will definitely participate. I hope to make a modest contribution to public welfare. Sean nodded in response to Patricia's invitation, and at the same time he subconsciously glanced at Angelina, who was holding a 36C chest next to him. The other party thought that Sean was asking for her opinion, so he happily stroked his long hair, and agreed to the event with joy.
"Sean, introduce you to a few friends."
Angelina took Sean's arm, said sorry to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas, Duke and Naya, and walked towards the smiling John Tara Volta and the gentlemanly Will Smith not far away.
Seeing Angelina walking over with Sean on her shoulder, John Tara Volta greeted Sean with a smile, while Will Smith just smiled and said hello to Angelina, then smiled at Sean, turned his head and laughed with an actress, looking very intimate.
Will Smith usually has no scandals, and he feels like a tall star, but looking at his acquaintance with actress Yankuai, Sean shrugged his shoulders, and some media in Hollywood are always whitewashing the peace. Or maybe Will Smith's PR team is really too strong, probably thanks to his skin as well. Just like the Jews, Hollywood's few remaining black superstars are often privileged.
"Mr. Travolta......"
"I know you guys from Cage. Cage and I are also good friends, so let's call me John. John Travolta smiled and raised the champagne in his hand, looking very enthusiastic, "Your performance in the film is eye-catching, really good." Director Senna also often compliments you on your hard work. ”
"Thank you Senna for the compliment." Sean smiled.
He has a good sense of the star.
But what Sean didn't know was that John Travolta had recently made the same mistake as his friend Nicolas Cage in the future.
In the Hollywood 20 million club, big names such as Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Brad Pitt, and Ben Stiller are very rigorous in selecting films in order to maintain their reputation and identity, and they dare not do a lot of them, but John went against the grain in the late 90s, and he was not afraid to shoot one popular film after another......
Big bad movie!
finally became one of the top superstars, and a "Earth Battlefield" almost made him bend his waist.
"It's not a compliment, I love this kind of cool character." John Travolta said with a smile. He came to the premiere of "Speed 60 Seconds" this time, in addition to giving face to his old friend Nicolas Cage, he wanted to save his reputation and cooperate with Jerry Bruckheimer to shoot a commercial blockbuster.
But Sean won't know this, he simply chatted with John Travolta and then walked aside with a smile to say hello to director Dominic Senna. At the very least, you have to send your own thanks, right?
When it comes to such a banquet and party occasion, Angelina is absolutely proficient, and she can talk very happily with anyone, whether it is a Warner executive or Jerry Brookheimer, a Hollywood bigwig, they all have a good conversation with Angelina.
At this point, Sean is ashamed of himself. But Sean also understands that while Los Angeles doesn't focus on the hierarchy of upper-class banquets like New York, it also needs to socialize. That's something Sean really needs to learn.
"Sean, I heard you've been filming that epic DreamWorks masterpiece lately?" Dominic Senna was dressed in a black suit, looking very energetic, and at the same time his face was a little more drunk, obviously the release of "Speed 60 Seconds" seemed particularly exciting to him.
"That's right, but I have two weeks off now, and I'm going to Italy after the New Year." Sean smiled, and when he saw another person walking towards him with a smile, Sean took the initiative to make room for the other party and walked around the banquet hall with a wine glass.
After a while, I came to a balcony, and looked at the people in the room who were talking and laughing with wine glasses. This is the appearance of all beings in Hollywood, and compared to this kind of banquet, Sean prefers the party held by Ted Demy.
It's really boring here, but it has to come. A lot of times, that's the politics of Hollywood. For Sean, a poor boy from Indiana, these are a bit far away.
Looking at Sean not far away, John Travolta raised his glass to Angelina, who was wearing a long black dress on the side, and smiled, "Congratulations to Angelina, Sean looks like a nice guy." ”
"Of course, I never deny that." Glancing at Sean, who was drinking with a wine glass not far away, Angelina smiled knowingly, "But this guy doesn't like this kind of scene, otherwise he wouldn't go over there to drink." ”
"Maybe that's what attracted you to him." John Travolta laughed and teased his friend Angelina, "At least this guy is a lot better than that British." I talked about you the other day when I was at a Democratic Party event with Jon, and he was very upset with the British. ”
"Oh, I don't want to talk about politics." Angelina interrupted her friend, "You know, Jon has always been committed to social party activities. The old guys are always looking for something to do. He is no exception. ”
"If you say that about him, I don't think he will admit that he is old." John Talavolta joked. A good personality makes him a lot of friends. He also had a good relationship with Angelina's father, Jon Voight.
Angelina gave John Tara Volta a glamorous back, twisted her sexy waist, dragged her swaying dress, held a crystal wine glass, and walked towards Sean with a smile.
