Hearing Scarlett's words, Duke couldn't help but take the invitation from her, just glanced at it, and returned it, he had received many similar invitations almost every year over the years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Hollywood, under the cover of the aura of fame and fortune, there are always many unnoticed existences.

This kind of invitation is one of them.

The content is actually very simple, which is to invite Duke to a masked adult party, which is very common in Hollywood, especially at the end of the summer season and awards season, with all kinds of adult parties in the name of celebration.

Duke was targeted by this kind of club more than a decade ago, but he never participated.

When he was younger, he did have a chaotic life, but he never participated in this kind of adult party, and this kind of party chaos is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the scene will even exceed some films produced in the San Fernando Valley.

Duke has not been involved, but he knows a lot of inside information, and it is very simple to say, because Leonardo? DiCaprio is a regular at this kind of party.

This party hosted by the adult club, aimed at Hollywood celebrities and celebrities, was worth £30,000 and was not just for Leonardo? Male stars like DiCaprio, as well as a large number of female stars.

The female stars who actually participate are no less than the male stars.

Not only that, but male and female stars who are in love, Hollywood couples in open marriages, according to Leonardo, all buy tickets.

"It's a shame you don't go."

Seeing Scarlett accompany his new girlfriend to the garden, Leonardo sat next to Duke and told him about the party he had just attended a few days ago, "This time there were many well-known actresses who participated, and although they were masked, I recognized them at a glance." ”

Duke just shook his head. "I have to think about Scarlett's feelings."

Although Scarlett always says that monogamy is against human nature, Duke knows very well that this is just the case.

Like treated with Ivanka? Trump was in the same relationship, and he didn't plan to do some messy things behind his girlfriend's back.

He was not a noble man, and he was even a whole Pacific Ocean away, but he was still conscious of this.

Subsequently. Leonardo? DiCaprio talked about some of the things that happened at the party, and if I could describe it appropriately, it would probably be like Stanley? The party in Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Open" is average.

"I met Rachel at a party? McAdams, the mole under her mask is too obvious. ”

Drinking the coffee in the cup, Leonardo looked interested, "And Lily? Collins, this facelifted chick is so easy to recognize. It was also very open, and I saw with my own eyes that she was surrounded by three men, and that kind of scene ......"

Duke was not at all surprised by what Leonardo said, just like Leonardo? DiCaprio's name is the same. Rachel? McAdams and Lily? It's no secret that Collins is a regular at such parties, and it's no secret in Hollywood.

Of course, these two don't care much about this reputation.

After lunch, Duke sent Leonardo away? DiCaprio. He drove out of Malibu and arrived at the Warner Building in Burbank.

It's September. The Dark Knight Rises slowly approached $600 million at the North American box office and nearly $1.5 billion worldwide, and despite a series of events, the film was a huge success.

But. Duke isn't here for The Dark Knight Rises, but Seth? Logan and James? "The Interview" starring Franco.

After intense preparation and shooting, the film moved to post-production last month, and if there are no surprises, "The Interview" will be able to complete all the production work early next month, and then release around the end of October.

In any case, "The Interview" is a low-budget film, and the traditional off-season of October is the most suitable for film releases.

Due to the sensitive subject matter, Warner Bros. has never promoted this film, and the plot and content of the film have also been strictly banned by Duke from circulation.

In one of Warner Bros. offices, only Duke, Doug? Walter and Jamie? Johnson three.

"In fact, there is no need to do too much work in the early stage of publicity."

Looking at the two Warner Bros. executives, Duke said unhurriedly, "It's not hard to make a splash." ”

Doug? Walter nodded slowly.

Jamie on the other side? Johnson said directly, "As long as we disclose the subject matter and content of the film, many people will spontaneously hype and promote it for us, especially North Korea." ”

Duke reminded, "You have to weigh the political factors well." ”

"Don't worry, Duke." Doug? Walter said nonchalantly, "Do we care about North Korea?" ”

It is impossible for Hollywood movies to enter North Korea through formal channels, and smearing and slandering North Korea is an absolute political correctness in North America and even in the entire Western world.

However, the Duke trio also know very well that it is still very difficult to make a big profit in order to make a sensation and make a lot of profits just by relying on this, and some means are needed in the future.

Nowadays, the Internet is developed, and hackers are unable to prevent it, and it is not difficult for Warner to make some articles using these two aspects.

At the beginning of October, Warner Bros. released the first trailer of "The Interview" on Instant Share, which caused an uproar in the United States and even the world.

"This fall, James? Franco and Seth? Logan will try to assassinate Kim Sanfat. 'You are about to enter the most dangerous place in the world, and the people of Jin San Fat believe every word he says. Not only can he talk to dolphins, but he never poops ......'"

After the dialogue, there is a close-up of "Kim Sam Fat" played by a South Korean actor: wearing a uniform, with one hand on his waist, and a thick cigar in his mouth, full of "local heroism". The most recognizable is Kim Sam-fat's characteristic hairstyle — parted, combed back, trimmed short above the ears — which is known as "ambition" in North Korea.

This nonsensical short video trailer has sparked a global Internet hit, and has also become the most sought-after hit video for instant sharing.

As expected, North Korea took the initiative.

Just two days later, North Korea came forward and issued an official statement saying that it was an act of war and that it would respond decisively if the U.S. government allowed the film to be broadcast.

The statement said that the "blatant broadcast of the trailer for the blasphemy and assassination of North Korea's supreme leader" was an "act of terrorism and war" intended to "subvert North Korea's state system," "insult North Korea's dignity," and "is not tolerated by the international community."

In particular, the statement stressed that the good life of the North Korean people is closely linked to the care of the supreme leader.

North Korea's permanent representative to the United Nations also said that the U.S. government should ban the release of the film "The Interview" on the grounds that "the main story line in the film involves the assassination of Kim Sam-fat", and he believes that allowing the production and distribution of a film involving the assassination of the leader of a current sovereign country is tantamount to supporting terrorism and an act of war.

Of course, Warner Bros. and the crew of "The Interview", who had prepared in advance, must not have been so quick to stand up and respond.

Screenwriter and star James? Franco replied on Instant Share, when North Korea first protested, "Generally people don't want to kill me because of a movie, unless they spend 12 dollars watching it first." ”

Seth, who was accused of being a "second-rate director" by North Korea? Rogan also reacted with lightheartedness: "North Koreans often do such funny things...... What threat can a comedy movie pose? ”

The entire Western world has become accustomed to North Korea's attacks and "threats," and in the eyes of all, the North Korean government has always been "thundering and raining" -- just a few days ago, a North Korean state-level news media published a commentary criticizing the US military action: "The situation is very serious, and a nuclear war may break out at any time," and "criticism is useless, only merciless punishment and an iron fist can work against the United States......

The whole world is also taking these statements as a joke.

In today's era of Internet collective carnival, not to mention the Western world, which regards North Korea as a terrorist country, even neighboring countries that have always supported North Korea, the Internet only uses North Korea and his government as a joke to use for carnival, and emojis derived from Kim Sanpang are even flooded with several of the most popular online social software in this country.

But North Korea's protests went completely unnoticed, and Warner Bros. insisted that the film be released on schedule.

In fact, the trailer has also caused some controversy in North America.

In addition to the MPAA classification system, the Hollywood film industry mainly relies on self-discipline for the setting of the plot, but if the plot of the film contains attacks and insinuations against real people or entities, it may be subject to legal action by the other party, and if there is an insinuation in the plot that names the current leader of a country, such as assassination, it may be considered to have terrorist tendencies.

Because of this, although even the president of his country dares to "assassinate" in Hollywood movies, these "assassinated" targets are usually virtual characters.

Based on this, the naming of the assassins in the "Interview" and the insistence on scheduling them even after the parties have publicly expressed their displeasure cannot help but feel that it is a kind of "double standard" -- North Korea is now a full member of the United Nations, and Kim Sam-fat is its legal leader, and it is clear that a different standard is being pursued for "insinuation and personal attacks" against him.

In particular, it is difficult for North Korea to provide any box office revenue for Hollywood entertainment films now and in the future, which also makes this "double standard" more justified: Chaplin was forced to change the title of "The Great Dictator" when he made "The Great Dictator", and MGM's "Red Dawn" was the Soviet Union in 1984, and was hastily changed to North Korea before the remake in 2011.

For example, who would dare to think that any Hollywood studio would dare to joke about the leaders on the other side of the ocean by name? (To be continued~^~)
