Chapter 385: Daniel Cinema
Not only Warner Bros., but also Universal, Disney, etc., have all lost in front of "Youth Musical" and "Bad Teacher", two movies with a combined budget of less than 50 million.
The 2006 North American summer season was grandly opened with the return of MGM's king.
The great company that once dominated the world's film industry, after its infinite glory and decline, seems to be about to find its own place again - although it is no longer possible to regain the MGM of half a century ago, it can now at least tell everyone that it has given birth to new branches, bloomed flowers, and its future is full of sunshine in its decaying body.
The next day, Daniel went to the largest viewing hall of the Oriental Cinema, Hall 1, which can accommodate 1,200 people, and watched this trendy movie with the participants of the "Song and Dance Youth Cup" and lucky fans.
The cinema provided 300 tickets for Daniel and the delegates, and the remaining 900 were sold out in an instant.
Over the years, Oriental Cinema has become the best cinema in the Los Angeles area, with the best screens, the best sound equipment, perfect sound insulation, comfortable seating and top air circulation system, all of which make it a benchmark for cinema construction - of course, not everyone can afford this kind of construction, so it can achieve 7% of the effect, and at a more approachable price, it is enough to avoid customer dissatisfaction.
There are only three Oriental Cinemas in the United States, all in the Los Angeles area, so it's not a challenger to the entire original market, but its unique approach and pursuit of extreme style have made it a star in the industry - if you're planning on a great movie-going experience, then going to Oriental Cinema is the best choice.
So, this makes for a lot of interesting situations. For example, at the Oriental Cinema. You can see the scene where a man gets down on one knee and proposes at the end of the movie. You can also see some tacit understanding and friendship that you can't see in ordinary movie theaters - if you communicate with strangers in other movie theaters, it may be difficult, but in Oriental movie theaters, everyone enters it, and they automatically recognize each other as "like-minded" friends, so it is very easy for you to communicate, communicate and share with strangers.
"There's a wonderful intoxicating atmosphere in the Oriental Cinema. Coming here is like joining a club, even though you don't know each other, you know that the other person must have something in common with you, maybe you are both movie enthusiasts, maybe you pursue a refined life together, maybe you both love to communicate and party...... This is like no other place. If you're looking for this unique and flawless movie-going experience, then I highly recommend visiting here – though, it's a bit pricey. You need to be mentally prepared. ”
This is how a Los Angeles travel company described Oriental Cinema when it introduced the places worth visiting in the area.
Daniel hadn't been here for a while, and he didn't have much access to the cinema, and usually when he watched a movie at his home at DD Pictures, MGM Pictures, or Malibu, he always got a separate copy of it because most of the movies he watched were from his own company. However, even if not, as a lifelong judge of the Oscars, the owner of DD Pictures and MGM Pictures. Hollywood's most powerful and charismatic superstar, he is always more qualified than those film critics to get a copy of the studio. If he wants to get feedback and reaction from the audience to the film. Statistical companies, survey companies will do all this for him. A? A-? Or B? The scores given by the audience will be gathered into more intuitive, scientific numbers and curves, presented in front of him, far more comprehensive and accurate than when he sits in the cinema and watches other people's reactions.
This is also the practice of most Hollywood superstars and studio owners.
However, once he was going to watch a movie with a regular audience, he would choose the Oriental Cinema - which gave the Oriental Cinema an attractive place for tourists. This is probably the most likely place in all of Los Angeles to meet Daniel, hence the nickname Daniel Cinema. If you're wearing a mask and a cap and you're tall and good-looking, there's a good chance you'll be stripped of your cover by crazy ladies – though most of the time, they'll be disappointed. But as a pleasure. Masks and caps are popular in Oriental cinemas and become one of the features of this iconic cinema.
Chinese movie star Zhang Ziyi once described this movie theater to the domestic media.
"If you see some men with great figures, they wear caps, big masks, and they cover themselves tightly. Don't think it's going to be a Hollywood star, they're usually just lovers, and then a couple of daring American girls will take off all these outfits, and then maybe a romantic movie theater love story begins. This is very different from Chinese cinemas, which represent more of a way of life, romantic, extreme, exquisite, interesting and surprising. ”
With such a feature, Daniel, of course, would not fall into the net, and Miller, who had a large target, did not follow him, but was closely accompanied by other security personnel, he and Paul. Dressed in a nondescript gray T-shirt and a baseball cap, Walker and two high school students, holding tickets bought by security guards, entered Hall 1 in a movie theater that was not brightly lit.
"If you are found, you may be torn, and you may not even be able to keep your pants."
Paul, who is filming "Transformers", is also an idler, the woman and his estranged wife stay in Hawaii, although he is not short of **, he has never had a girlfriend. Therefore, if his spare time is not enough for him to play car, dive, surf and other activities, he can only waste it at home. So as soon as Daniel pulled him out to watch the movie, he quickly came out.
"You're not much better than me." Daniel glanced at him, and Paul's smile froze on his face - because the current "Furious 3" was so bad that he and Diesel have been missed by many people lately, and their popularity has risen a lot. What's more, as the leading actor of DD Pictures' first big production, his expectations are not low, and his own conditions are good, if he is discovered by everyone, especially in such an enthusiastic place as the Oriental Theater, the end is predictable.
In fact, it's not that Daniel isn't worried, especially when everyone thinks that they can meet him here, the main reason is that there is a full plan here.
It's not like he hasn't been undiscovered, the last time he came to see "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith", he was exposed, but the staff of the Oriental Cinema quickly helped him get out, from the alternate passage to the office area of the theater, and then through the elevator there straight into the parking lot, Daniel is also familiar with the "escape" facilities here.
Their position at the front is not the best viewing position, and most of them are young men and women, and occasionally some are a little older, but they are also quite trendy in their dress. Daniel saw a gray-haired old man, wearing a big floral shirt and cropped pants, and a gentleman's hat on his head, very fashionable.
The opening credits of the Oriental Cinema are not advertised, and they are all beautiful video works purchased from International Geographic magazines, most of which are beautiful.
"It's really good."
"Of course, everything you see is made in dollars."
"I know you're rich, but you don't need to show it off, do you?" Adjusting his sitting position, Paul lifted his hat up.
"How do you show off? Let you see my deposit numbers? ”
“…… Here we go, shut up. ”
The on-screen documentary of Yellowstone's scenery aborted, and soon the MGM classic intro appeared - Daniel and Lang. Meyer is considering whether to shoot another lion again. However, it is not very likely, MGM's lions were actually seven half a century ago, and one of them, Jackie, even suffered a plane crash, but was very lucky to be unharmed.
MGM's lion's roar intro is followed by DD Pictures' double-D intro.
Then came the beginning of "Youth Musical", directed by Kent . Ortega, Starring: Zack. Efron, Vanessa. Huggins, Ashley. Tessdale is presented against the backdrop of Salt Lake City's snow-white mountains and the motel hosting the party.
Vanessa's Gabriella and Efron's Troy. Burton had been busy with his "business," like reading books and basketball drills — but their mother asked them to go to a party to have some fun. A truly moving story often begins by chance. These two young people, who had stayed away from the party, were now standing on the stage.
A magic switch was flung, and they went from jerky to perfect - as if they were supposed to be one, extremely harmonious and tacit.
To the sound of two people singing, the young people at the party also began to dance, and the same was true in the movie theater, where everyone sat in their seats and twisted their bodies - this is not a work that should be watched quietly, so there is no need to worry about being blamed for the movements and sounds. All you have to do is follow the rhythm. If the two of them are in the prelude to KISS in the movie, and you have a rock music, of course you will still be flattened. There is also a premise that it does not affect the field of view of other people.
"The song is good." Walker moved slightly, too.
The youthful scene of Eastern High School is fascinating, and the young people are showing their unbridled vitality and heat.
"Wildcats!"
"Wildcats!"
The atmosphere heated up after Troy's arrival.
The casting of the musical began, and the two young men who had lit up their new skill tree were determined to step into the field of acting and go to auditions, but there were many twists and turns, everyone did not want to see the basketball captain on the stage, and they did not want the top students to be taken away from their energy, and the original musical theater masters were worried - the audience was substituted by the story, they were moved by the heartfelt feelings of Troy and Gabriella, excited by the campus full of tension and heat, extremely angry at Xia Pei's small methods, and excited about the success of Gabriella and TroyWhether it's in musical theater auditions, academic competitions, basketball games, yes, young people with dreams have finally achieved all their dreams - with the support of their friends.
What's more, they are driven by the beautiful singing and performance, and the movie enters the final moments, and the audience in the back row is the first to stand up involuntarily, then the penultimate row, all the way to Daniel's row.
"Jump up, bro."
A beautiful brown-haired woman with studs tugged at Paul's arm, tapping her chin to the rhythm. (To be continued.) )
