Chapter 401: Pedal on Two Boats
After fingerprint recording and driver's license registration, journalist George . Smith parked his car in the huge parking lot with hundreds of parking spaces, and he shook his head and sighed a little jealously, "This is the biggest party villa I've seen this year, Lear. The villa that Wayne used to pack now looks like a small house made of Lego bricks. Novel www."
In the United States, party culture is very popular, and whether it is planning before or cleaning after it, it is a challenge for the host, so there are countless professional party companies, and celebrities are also happy to rent party villas for a large amount of money to party, so as to maintain their own *, and secondly, it can also make guests more enjoyable - especially for those celebrities who have families, many parties are inevitably a little soft. Rather than cleaning up and discovering that many guests have snuck up to the second floor and left behind hookah pipes and stinking garbage, and the risk of children coming into contact with them, it is better to rent a dedicated party villa to make a splash, such as the well-known rapper Lear. Wayne often spends thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to charter a mansion covering an area of thousands of square meters with dozens or hundreds of rooms, and invites those blondes who are outside the entertainment industry, whether they are boys and girls who have not yet been given the opportunity to perform, reality TV stars, cover girls, Victoria's Secret supermodels, and even low-profile A.V actresses, are all guests at this kind of party. Of course, well-known musicians, filmmakers, and directors also hang out at these kinds of parties from time to time, so this is also a good opportunity to mingle.
Compared with ordinary movie stars, Lear, who has his own creative ability and enjoys the copyright of many works. Wayne's shot is already magnificent, but compared to the pomp and circumstance of this big dream, his famous dream party is also jaw-dropping - from the venue, this is not so much a party villa as a manor, this manor even has its own motel, which is dedicated to the drivers who drive to the party for celebrities, and most of the guests and interviewers who came this time also parked their vehicles here and in the nearby driveway, and were sent to the main house by a dedicated shuttle bus, of course, Like a real bigwig like James. Cameron and others can still drive the car to the door of the main house, but in addition, in order to avoid traffic jams at the entrance of the main house, media such as Riley can only wait for the shuttle bus. -- The battery car was already full of reporters, even Jennifer. Bell also sat in the car and waited for them to come, and when she saw George, she smiled and said hello, not at all of the usual street photography racks.
For TMZ, which is extremely well-informed and rarely misreported by the media, the attitude of celebrities has been changing, with the increase of their unique news, the rapid increase in click-through rate and influence, and now most celebrities will treat them a little more special - not to be pleasant, but not to deliberately offend them, after all, TMZ's little black house has now become a legend, it is said that even Jennifer. A perfect person like Jefferson, whose private life is almost impeccable, has information in a small dark room, and for these stars with many heads and tails, what reason do they have to offend TMZ?
"Hey, Jennifer." George was also very good, he didn't pick up the camera to take a picture of Jennifer waiting for the car, but said casually, "Is little Liana's flu cured?" ”
Last time he was with Jennifer. When Bell was in the time, she took her daughter to the hospital to see a doctor, so now Bell also replied normally, "It's much better, thank you for your concern." ”
"Why didn't you see Georgia?"
"He was at home looking after the kids." Bell smiled politely and avoided answering his question, and the reporters around her laughed knowingly: As the executive vice president of Universal and a strong candidate for the next president, Georgia Brown. Lansing is certainly inconvenient to attend such an occasion, after all, the success of "Codename SHERO" has nothing to do with Universal.
The family is stable, the career is not bad, the film is filming, the private life is quite normal, and there is no habit of making nonsense, Bell's recent news is not high, so the reporters did not hold the moon in the stars, but chatted nonsense in the car - they have to get involved with quite a lot of parties every year, either invited to participate, or waiting for guests to be filmed in ambush outside the venue, and because of this, they feel the style of this celebration party the most.
"What a big mansion!" Looking at the huge building in the distance, someone sighed the same as George, "Listed in 07, the asking price is 150 million, and the rent should be 500,000 a day. ”
"The most profitable thing this year is this movie, I heard that tonight's champagne is all $100 a bottle of fine quality - and that's right, Jennifer is about to become the richest woman in the United States, even if not now, in a few years, when the sequel comes out, she will definitely be."
"And she's so simple in her habits - haven't you, Jennifer, been to their cliff manor? I've heard that the interior hasn't even been touched, it's still the same as when the house was sold. ”
"I don't know what the house will look like when it's sold." Bell said with a smile. But the reporters didn't let her escape so easily, they turned on their phones one after another," said Architecture & Design. ”
"Oh my God, you guys even have pictures like this?" Belhaha laughed, but still did not say whether the rumor was true or not, fortunately, the battery car also quickly arrived at the door of the banquet hall, she quickly smiled apologetically at the passengers in the same car, took the lead to get out of the car, and after registering her name at the welcome desk, she entered the banquet hall with her face brushed because of her popularity. The reporters were identified again, and only then did they enter the venue under the surveillance of the security guards.
"J.J always takes security so seriously, all her money is used to hire security guards, right?"
"Oh, look, Spielberg is here too—she's so many...... Wait, I read that right! That's really Robert. Egger? ”
"I heard it looks like tonight Jeff. Robinov will also come ......"
"Could it be that the rumors ......?"
The party didn't start immediately, it was a celebration before, the crowd spontaneously gathered around the stage to wait for the protagonist group to appear, and the reporters had a special reception area, and they also made full use of the opportunity at this moment, and the camera basically kept capturing the part of these celebrities talking and laughing with each other: I have to say, as a celebration party, this lineup is really a bit too luxurious, like Jennifer. Bell, the coffee position can be regarded as a first-line among actresses, but in front of these big names, it is like a child meeting an adult, and there is no shelf at all.
Natalie. Portman, Annie. Hathaway, Scarlett. Johnson, Josh. Blanche, Leonardo. DiCaprio, Christopher. Hanks...... These young movie stars, who are already big names in Hollywood, are also talking and laughing in the corner, and there is no impatience and arrogance on their faces. The only one who hasn't been seen is Hiss. Ledger and Salvi. Tuqi, a pair of handsome men who are also very topical now, the news that Jennifer is going to cooperate with them in a new film has spread all over Hollywood, but these two people have no intention of taking the opportunity to promote at all, and have been staying in Yosemite, which also makes people very curious about the timing of Jennifer's return to filming: With the hot screening of "Codename Shero", Hollywood can be said to be all Jennifer's world, and it is difficult to say whether "Agent Sauter" on the 23rd can stop it from even winning the championship, no matter what publicity is going to be done for the new film, This is the best time to do this, and as a great producer, Jennifer really hasn't thought about using this to do some marketing for the new film?
Just as the reporters frantically pressed the shutter, the lights gradually dimmed, and amid applause and cheers, Andy Brown. Samberg's guest host took the stage with the microphone and said, "Ok, okay, I know you're desperate to get it all done right now so you can drink the champagne that comes at the end - because I'm in the same mood, let's stop talking nonsense and shout 'billion' together!" ”
"Billion! Billion! Whether it is the stars, the crew members, or the media, they all cheered with their hands raised, and some people blew a long loud whistle, almost no need to warm up, the atmosphere is as high as a large-scale concert: 1 billion in 14 days, no matter what the lineup and what marketing methods are very proud, and their excitement is also very sincere to be able to witness the birth of the legend as participants and relatives and friends.
Amid the shouts of 'bil' from the audience, strong rock music rang out, and Jennifer, dressed in a black tight-fitting skirt, walked into the venue with Zachary and Jos, both in casual suits. All three of them were radiant and gestured to the audience in thanks, and just as they were about to walk to the front of the stage, Andy suddenly said, "Wait! ”
He showed a somewhat cheap smile and snapped his fingers at the staff next to him, and soon, a large propaganda board hidden behind the bar was lifted up, this propaganda board was printed with the poster of "Code Name SHERO", and the words "billion" were lying above, Andy commanded the staff to put the display board in front of the three of them, and said with a smile, "We all know that Kelly is a superhero, of course it is not a problem to break a billion - come, show us one, Jennifer, show one, Jennifer!" ”
In the laughter of the audience, the reporters quickly pressed the shutter, and the audience soon followed Andy and shouted the slogan of 'show one', Jennifer covered her face, laughing and didn't know what to say, Jos shook her head again and again, Zachary stepped forward funny, as if to save the beauty of the hero, but after trying to kick the ground, he still shrugged his shoulders and retreated, as if he was not confident in himself, which also provoked bursts of laughter.
In the end, under Andy's insistence, the helpless Jennifer shook her head and knocked on the board, she stuck out her tongue, as if frightened by the thickness, and this expression also provoked laughter and heckling from the crowd. - James. Cameron even shouted, "J.J, you can do it, break it!" ”
His teasing made the laughter decibel higher, and in such a cheerful atmosphere, Jennifer shook her head and motioned for Joss and the others to make room, she took a few steps back, loosened her shoulders and neck, and reached down to her waist and ripped off her skirt, revealing the uniform pants worn underneath - this style was very similar to Kelly's uniform, and caused another shout 'Cool!' '.
With both hands clenched into fists, a few steps to run, and sideways kicks - with a loud bang, the three-plywood, which was deliberately not so strong, was kicked and broken, and Jennifer deftly flipped her front hand after landing on the ground, standing firmly, so that after a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause and shouts, "J.J! j.j! j.j! The cry spontaneously formed a slogan, which also made her fold around a little embarrassed to express her gratitude.
"Excellent! One kick shattered the threshold of one billion! Andy cheered. Now take the 2 billion I made out of iron—"
In the midst of the loud laughter, he evaded Jennifer's posturing, and the champagne tower was also pushed onto the stage, and several leading actors walked up to the stage, standing in the direction of facing the reporters with champagne in hand, providing them with the opportunity to take pictures.
"It's J.J's own project, and it always gives reporters a stalk to write about." After taking a few photos of the celebration, George hurriedly checked the photos he had taken: the kicking and smashing of the wooden plank just now was obviously deliberately prepared, and the angle from which the press gallery took pictures was very comfortable. But this will only make George admire Jennifer more - such a big star, a celebration party also personally brings the atmosphere and makes memes, this professional attitude is very admirable, and the kung fu skills she shows can only make people shout 'j.j' convincingly, among so many female stars in Hollywood, who can be compared with her, George thinks that the number is not too much.
"It looks like there shouldn't be any other big news tonight......" However, because Jennifer was so kind enough to give such a good report meme, they didn't let them run in vain, and George also refuted the rumors he had heard before. I said before that there should be a heavyweight news announcement related to the sequel tonight.,It should be a rumor.,Otherwise, J.J wouldn't have to go out in person......"
Just as he was thinking this, the photo session on stage was over, and Andy picked up the microphone again, "Okay, according to common sense, the awards ceremony should be over now, but ......"
He pulled an envelope out of his suit jacket and said in a strange tone, "I was given an envelope ten minutes before this - they said it was good news, I just had to open it and read it to the end, and as you can see, the envelope was still intact, and I didn't really know what I was going to announce." ”
Andy wrinkled his face and looked at the envelope back and forth a few times, and then in the midst of everyone's laughter, he prayed 'don't say I'm going to be fired, don't', and opened the envelope.
"Hi guys, I'm Jennifer. Jefferson, when the box office of "New Generation: Codename SHERO" exceeded 1 billion, I was very happy to tell you that ......" Andy read, and then, with a frown, flipped the paper over, "Uh, it doesn't seem like I was writing next-"
As he spoke, Joss and the other three suddenly disappeared from sight as a burst of dry ice erupted, and at the back of the stage, the large screen on the DJ booth lit up, and the trailer for "Codename SHERO" appeared on the screen amid curious whispers. "My name is Kelly. Johnson, 23 years old......"
Seeing a blonde-haired Kylie walking through the ruins of the building in the final uniform, George exclaimed, "Cool! ”
- Although as a journalist, he is used to seeing scenes, but as a fan of this movie, his heart is still tight, and he has a feeling that he is burning: as if a big event is about to happen, that restless and excited feeling is simply unbearable - Da Dream suddenly released this trailer, it must be useful, what is the intention? I don't dare to think about it, this is simply unthinkable!
When Kelly punches a cannon fodder, a burst of snowflakes suddenly jumps out of the picture. Donnie's distinctive voice slowly cleared up along with the picture, "Tony. Stark, Howard. Son of Stark-"
"Oh!!!!"
“kkkkk!”
“holy――*!!!!!! You must be kidding! ”
It was as if time had slowed down at this moment, and the reporters, guests, and even the crew members of "Codename SHERO" themselves all let out the real screams that belonged to ordinary people, the kind of screams that could break through the roof, as fans. Although there had been some rumors before, the suddenness and bizarre nature of the news still made them instinctively react the most shockingly.
"How is this possible! Will Warner allow it? "Codename Shero" and they are a partnership! ”
"No wonder Robert. Iger will come! He snatched this movie! Oh, my God! Oh my God! ”
In the excitement of the discussion, in "Iron Man 1", the image of Tony testing the armor at the horror base surfaced, and then the screen jumped to his introductory video in 1, "Graduated at MIT at the age of 17 with the best student......"
In the next moment, the screen cuts back to "Codename Shero", Kelly is still a child, she and her classmates walk past a group of boys in MIT cultural shirts, they make faces at Kylie, little Kelly looks at them with disdain, and her classmates say, "Do you know what MIT stands for?" monkeysintraining! These people are destined to work for Harvard students in the future......"
The famous joke caused the audience to burst into a wild laugh - not that the joke itself was funny, but that they needed it to vent their emotions: Oh my God! It looks like this is really going to happen, the marriage of Codename SHERO and Iron Man! It's a dream integration!
The camera swept over little Kelly and drilled into the group of MIT boys, among whom the childish boy who looked only a few years older than Kelly was the actor of the little Iron Man in the movie! And the scene cuts back to the scene in "Steel 1", when Pepa helps Tony change the battery, and Tony says, "No, no, no, you have to hold steady-"
Just like in the movie, Pepa accidentally electrocuted Tony, and she screamed, but the lines were changed to say, "You MIT people always make a mess of things." ”
"Your redhead looks good, Pepa. Miss Potts. "The picture went black, like Zachary. Quint's voice muttered, "Or, maybe I should call you by your old name, Kelly?" ”
"We are threatened like never before."
"Captain."
"Stark."
"Sir, do you need me to call Miss Potts?"
"I'm Thor, the god of thunder and lightning!"
In the dark, these dialogues from different characters come and go, as if piecing together a vague prototype of the story, and finally, in the screams of the stars, Robert Jr. Donnie, Chris. Evans, Chris. Hemsworth and Scarlett. Johnson, Jeremy. Reina's five-member Avengers team appeared one by one, and was collaged onto the screen as a member of the character poster, and finally, with a bang, Kelly's uniform appearance appeared on the far left of the screen, completely announcing the fact that everyone had already guessed: the world line of Codename SHERO will be connected to the MCU, Kelly will join the "Avengers", and Pepa will also reappear!
In the thunderous applause, the lights came on again, the smoke formed by the dry ice gradually dissipated, and several figures also walked out of the smoke one after another: Jennifer, who had changed into a small dress, Donnie and Scarlett, who had been present before. Johnson -- The other actors were filming and didn't make it to the party.
"Yes, there are two very good news to announce tonight," Jennifer took the initiative to take the microphone from Andy's hand this time, and she proudly announced, "I would like to invite my old friend, Disney President Robert Brown. Iger and Kevin Marvel, the head of Marvel Studios. Fei Ji came to announce with me that "Codename SHERO" will have an in-depth cooperation with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and in 2012's "The Avengers", Kelly will appear! ”
Two smiling men stepped onto the stage, hugged several actors and directors one by one, and gave reporters time to take pictures, after that, the Avengers party all stepped down, only Jennifer and Jos remained on stage, the two looked at each other, Jennifer's smile became more enthusiastic, "The second news, I have to invite my good friend, Time Warner President Jeff. Bix, as well as Senior Director Carry. Oronte and I announced-"
From their expressions - and the fact that they were there tonight, many people realized with some suffocation that Warner had no opinion on the 'betrayal' of the big dream!
Amid the frantic shutter clicks of reporters, she has just completed perhaps the most difficult task in Hollywood -- holding the parent company behind the two comic companies that regard each other as mortal enemies at the same time, and even letting two heavyweight presidents who are usually kings not see the king attend her celebration party, and openly stand on the platform for her to 'step on two boats' -- and at the same time star Jennifer, the actress who is about to exceed 10 billion at the cumulative box office. Jefferson confidently announced, "The second part of "The New Generation" is officially scheduled for 2013, and Warner will continue to work closely with Big Dream as a major investor and strategic partner of the film! ”
In the midst of applause, she took the champagne handed by the staff, shook it a few times, opened the champagne lid, as if playing a musical instrument, and let the wine draw a beautiful pattern in the air, provoking another wave of cheers, "Now, it's party time!" ”
