Since 1977, five of the first six Star Wars titles have topped the North American box office that year, a series like no other, and now with the Duke name, the appeal is self-evident. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long wait, in mid-December, when Christmas is approaching, the long-awaited Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally here!

Duke held the world premiere of the film on the famous Hollywood Boulevard.

"This premiere is much more than the Oscars."

Standing in front of the Dolby Theater, Leonardo? DiCaprio looked at the long red carpet and said to Duke next to him, "Whether it is the number of fans present, or the number of guests and media reporters, it is incomparable to the Oscars." ”

"That's right." Scarlett, who was holding Duke's hand, took Leonardo's words, "Even the ratings on the red carpet are higher than the Oscars." ”

"My dear ......," Duke couldn't help but remind, "it's not fair for you to make Oscar and Star Wars compare." ”

Scarlett pursed her lips and muttered, "Maybe in a few years, the ratings of the Oscars can't even compare to the MTV Awards and the Saturn Awards." ”

Duke and Leonardo looked at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads and smile at the same time.

While Scarlett? Johnson's words are a bit exaggerated, but they also reflect the dilemma of today's Oscars.

It is an indisputable fact that the ratings of the Oscars have dropped sharply year after year.

On the whole, there are many reasons for the decline in the ratings of the Oscars, and the important factor affecting the ratings is the influence of the participating films, "Titanic" created 55 million viewers in 1998, and Duke created nearly 70 million viewers in the year when he won the statuette, which has become an insurmountable peak.

Secondly, there are too many forms of entertainment nowadays, who cares if a movie they don't like or haven't seen can win an award?

Not to mention the number of spectators, this premiere is destined to surpass the Oscars in every aspect.

For the red carpet setup and venue construction for the premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". Starting at 11 p.m. on Dec. 10, a four-day closure of Hollywood Avenue between Highland Avenue and La Brea Avenue began.

In fact, the annual Oscars closure on Hollywood Avenue is only a stretch from Highland Avenue to Orange Fields.

Compared with. The Red Carpet for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is 2,000 feet long, 2.5 times the length of the Oscar red carpet.

What's even more interesting is that the invitation to the premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" finalized by Duke himself did not tell the guests the specific name of the theater where the premiere was held, and the sealed section included a total of three theaters: the Dolby Theater, the Haoah Laiwu Chinese Theater and the El. Theater.

All the guests didn't know until the scene. The premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" includes the world premiere of the above three theaters at the same time, which is the largest movie premiere in Hollywood's history, and the number of guests attending the premiere alone is as high as 5,000!

Located in front of the Dolby Theater, the 2,000-foot-long red carpet is spread out in a white tent, magnificent, like space, with a brilliant starry sky created by lights overhead, dozens of lightsabers erected in the center of the red carpet are domineering and shocking, and on both sides of the red carpet are exhibitions of statues of characters such as Stormtroopers, the male protagonist and BB-8.

Before watching the new film, many guests already had a deep sense of substitution in the Star Wars universe.

While Duke and Scarlett? Johnson walked the red carpet early. But the real red carpet ceremony has just begun.

The first to appear on the red carpet were the big stars of the "Star Wars" series: C3PO and R2D2, and the new member BB8 also rolled around on the red carpet, with three robots taking the lead and setting off a small high C on the scene.

The next star who appeared also caused a burst of screams.

At this premiere, Han? Solo Harrison? Ford, Leia? Princess Kelly? Fisher, "Star Wars 7" hero and heroine Daisy? Ridley, Daniel? Wu and other new and old members of the multi-star war were all assembled.

And Steven? Spielberg, Francis? Coppola, Sofia? Coppola, Charlize? Theron, Jamie? Kim, Sophia? Vergala and many other celebrities came to the show, and even the mayor of Los Angeles came to help, and the degree of star shine is unprecedented.

And around the red carpet, fans holding up signs and begging for tickets have also become an alternative spectacle, because there are too many of them.

These people want to see the film "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" as soon as possible, and they didn't get tickets in the pre-sale. I had to try my luck with this oldest way of asking for tickets.

There is no doubt that the pre-sale figure of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" exceeded $120 million, which is unique even in Hollywood, where blockbusters are gathered, which shows the weight of this film. It also set a new record in the North American film market.

On the day of the opening of ticket sales, the crazy fans brought down the two major platforms for early ticket sales in the UK - the D website.

The site has not yet recovered from this, and the page still says "We are experiencing an unusually high load of views".

The North American website did not escape the fate of paralysis, and the American movie pre-sale platform released the movie tickets for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in advance, but the IMAX theater was swept out at midnight just a few minutes after the tickets were released, and after that, fans who bought the pre-sale tickets for the film on the website were directly directed to the website's maintenance page.

And the pre-sale event across Australia is ticketed for 90 minutes. The IMAX midnight show on the Australian mainland was sold out, and more than half of the tickets were sold at 3 a.m......

The pre-sale explosion is enough to see the appeal of Duke Gar's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", and almost all media believe that this film will set a series of brilliant records.

In addition to the red carpet ceremony, in order to promote the needs, Duke also asked Lucasfilm to hold a lot of fan activities on this Hollywood Avenue, sending special people to visit and comfort the fans who set up tents and queued up in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, not to mention, the party with fans is an indispensable item.

Recalling that in 1977, when the original movie "Star Wars" first met the audience, it caused an unprecedented sensation around the world. Lucas didn't expect the film to be such a huge success.

Lucas even went on vacation to Hawaii on the day of its release, only to watch the CBS Evening News that he learned that the film was a box office success and attracted a large number of people to queue up outside major theaters across the country, just to catch a glimpse of the sci-fi film.

Today the scene is repeated.

Huge numbers of fans gathered at the world-famous Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard tonight to wait patiently in long lines and dress up as movie characters for Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Chinese theatre has a significant place in the history of Star Wars, where the first Star Wars premiered in 1977, and even the film's iconic characters, such as the Black Warrior and R2-D2, have left their handprints on the concrete steps outside the theater.

Star Wars premiere day is also a great time for Star Wars fans to have a happy event. Caroline, a superstar Wars fan from Australia? Leet and Andrey? Porter flew to the United States to complete a lifelong event in front of the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre, becoming the first couple in history to make a wedding vow here.

Correspondingly, Duke also became a witness to the couple.

"Congratulations!"

In front of countless camera lenses, Duke presented the crazy Star Wars couple with two Jedi lightsabers and said, "I'm honored to be here for your wedding tonight, thank you for inviting me to surprise everyone." ”

There was a frenzied shouting around them, so loud and cluttered that it was impossible to hear what they were saying, but the fanatical fans were so appealing and varied in costumes that the front of the Dolby Theatre became a complete show for movie fans.

In addition to the star-studded creative team and the rich and dazzling on-site layout of Star Wars elements, the Dolby Theater behind Duke was specially built as a custom IMAX theater by IMAX, which took only 24 hours to complete the construction, fixing, curtain hanging and commissioning of the entire theater. The debut of The Force Awakens was amazing enough to provide enough setup guarantees.

After the long red carpet ceremony, followed by the routine of the Hollywood premiere, Duke and the creators were interviewed by the live media, and then Duke, according to the pre-made plan, had George? Lucas, Daisy? Ridley and Daniel? Wu came over.

The most special part of the whole premiere is the event that will be held below.

All the reporters looked at Duke, George? Lucas, Daisy? Ridley and Daniel? Wu, all the camera lenses and camera lenses are also staring at them.

The four of Duke walked together around the circular console in front of the steps of the Dolby Theater, and the staff around them, who had already rehearsed them, shouted together.

“10，9，……”

The other fans didn't know what was going on, but they were very cooperative and shouted, "8, 7......"

The voice immediately rang out, and everyone gathered on Hollywood Boulevard shouted in the same rhythm, "6,5......"

The shouts shook the sky, and it seemed that the entire City of Angels had only this voice, "4, 3, 2, 1!" ”

As the countdown to fans comes to an end, Duke, George? Lucas, Daisy? Ridley and Daniel? Wu Siren activated the lighting device, and the two radium devices placed in front of the Dolby Theater were instantly activated, and two dazzling beams of light shot straight into the sky, and finally evolved into the symbol of Star Wars - two giant "lightsabers", the red and blue lightsabers pierced the night sky of the City of Angels, symbolizing the head-to-head confrontation between the light side and the dark side of the original force in the film!

The Force War broke out again, and the history of the feuds of the Skywalker family began to be played out again. (To be continued.) )
