The test screening has just ended, and the Fox staff is still collecting the audience's questionnaires, and some people can't wait to leave, Mike? Scott is one of them, and he needs to go back and organize the relevant materials to submit them to the sponsors in a timely manner, and taking money to do things is the most basic criterion in the circle. This can be said to be something that is inevitable in every test screening, just as Warner and Fox can find someone to provide the test screening of "Braveheart", the money offensive is everywhere, and after the test screening, no one cares too much about this, and the publicity and public relations staff from Fox are all busy, because there will be a big press conference later. The press conference was scheduled in the grand ballroom of a hotel next to the theater, and Duke and Tom? When Hanks and the others came to the front desk, the audience was like a boiling pot, and the boiling words sounded one after another. All arrangements are for the needs of publicity, in Duke, Tom? Hanks and Leonardo? After DiCaprio sat down, everyone's PR also walked near the front desk in order to alert their employers in time. The host rambled, Charles? Rowan introduced some basic information about the film and came to the question session that media reporters were most interested in. The most attractive thing on the stage, of course, is Tom? Hanks. This kind of press conference can be imagined, and many questions asked by reporters are actually coordinated and planned by the organizer's public relations. After the moderator's roll call, a reporter stood up and asked directly, "Mr. Hanks." If I'm not mistaken, you received a lot of offers last year, why did you choose such a film? "I've always been fascinated by World War II history. And I was always looking for books and scripts that depicted the whole of World War II in terms of human nature or human emotional experience, not just strategic actions. "Tom? Hanks focused on the film, "Saving Private Ryan is a brilliant portrayal of this. This film is not only a magnificent war story, but also a tear-jerking film that analyzes human nature in war. "What was the biggest impression of your film?" Another reporter asked. "I've never experienced that rush of adrenaline before." Tom? Hanks looked over and smiled at Duke, continuing, "In this collaboration with director Rosenberg. I finally got it. "Because as soon as filming started, the whole shooting location was in chaos. People keep falling. Bombs exploded one after another in your vicinity, and I can imagine the soldiers falling in droves in a hail of bullets, and our eyes were filled with fear, and we knew that none of them were real. But that's why we're really afraid! "The scene is in good order, only Tom? Hanks's voice echoed, "We shot the landing battle at the beginning of the whole film, and it completely changed our attitude when we shot the battle scenes later. No one would have predicted how horrific the landing would be, and you would really feel the life-and-death test that the soldiers had to brave back then. Many reporters are nodding, the landing battle at the beginning of the film is indeed too real and shocking! Tom? After Hanks, the reporter asked Leonardo a few more words, including several reporters from Fox TV, and also specifically asked him and Claudia? Shifer's gossip. As long as it can attract attention, there are various ways to promote the movie. Finally, the reporter's eyes turned to Duke. "Director Rosenberg. What do you think of this collaboration with Tom? "The reporter's question is still inseparable from Tom? Hanks is the actor. Of course, this is also a pre-set question, Tom? Hanks is the person with the strongest substantive appeal to the audience in the crew. "I'm excited to work with Tom, I have a lot of respect for him, he's my favorite actor, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he's my idol." Since it's to set off Tom? Hanks's approach as a focus of publicity. Naturally, Duke didn't forget to praise him, "I've always wanted to work with Tom." "Saving Private Ryan" finally made my dream come true, and this experience of filming made me admire Tom's personality and acting skills even more. Tom is often able to make important suggestions, and when I clarify what I think about shaping the character, he always listens openly. Then, under the deliberate guidance of the host, the conversation turned to the film's near-real battlefield, and some veterans and historians were also interviewed. David? Brown was one of them, and in the face of the reporter's microphone, he made no secret of his praise for the film, which was short but sonorous, "In my opinion, this is the most authentic and shocking film ever made to reflect World War II!" Other veterans echoed his opinion, "The film restores the real battlefield to the greatest extent possible." "I never thought I'd see such a real war movie, as if I was back on that beach." As a well-known historian and leading scholar of the Normandy landings, Steffen? Ambroth also stood up and sang praises, ""Saving Private Ryan" truly reproduces the situation of the battle that year, there is no doubt that this is the most realistic and accurate war film I have ever seen that reflects the cruelty of war, whether it is from the combat deployment, or the soldiers' expressions, language, arguments and complaints between each other, as well as respect and love for each other, all of them are the same as the soldiers of the year! "All of this qiē is for publicity, all for the sake of attracting more people's attention. The test screening and promotional activities continued until the evening, when Duke drove to his home in Malibu, and Tina in the passenger seat? Fei has already received a call from Fox, and the statistics of the test screening have been released. "Fox collected 363 questionnaires, and the A-grade rating was 92 percent." In Tina? Fei's point of view is a very remarkable audience reputation, although the audience has a good reputation, and it is not without films like "The Shawshank Redemption" that have failed at the box office, but her employer's first three films have shown a terrifying word-of-mouth box office conversion rate, if calculated according to the past conversion rate, "Saving Private Ryan" is very likely to be another super blockbuster film. "What about theaters?" Duke asked. "The North American Cinema Alliance has a total of 37 viewing experts." Tina? Fei said as succinctly as possible, "23 people gave A+, 12 people gave A, and the remaining 2 people were B." "The scheduling of the theater chain should not be a problem." Duke breathed a sigh of relief that without enough theaters and scheduling, no matter how good a film is, it is impossible to sell well, saying, "Inform Zach, John, Mike, and Sophia of the results." "Hmm......" nodded slightly, Tina? Fei took out her mobile phone and began to dial. Just as Duke drove home, Tina? By the time Faye called the team members, the same results had already been laid out in an office at the CAA in Century City. Mel? Gibson and Martin? Bob sat across his desk, both of them flipping through materials from Saving Private Ryan. "The bloody cruelty of this film is even greater than we expected." Mel? Gibson watching and looking at Martin? "We could have done some work on the Teachers' and Parents' Association to get them to call on the student body not to watch the movie, and even though the film is R, no parent would want to accompany their children to watch such a bloody film." "Mel, did you notice another detail?" Martin? Bob threw the information on his desk, "Two reporters mentioned at the same time that the U.S. military in the film is white and Jewish, but there are no other minorities ......" "After the film was officially released, "Mel? Gibson understood, "As long as you push a few hands in the back, some minority organizations will definitely be dissatisfied, and even protest and boycott this film!" "They're denying the contribution of people of color to World War II." Martin? Bob chuckled faintly. Some organizations protesting may not be a big deal, but being hyped up by the media will inevitably cause trouble for a film, and even cause many minorities to resent the film. "Martin...... "Mel"? Gibson remembered something else, "Remember what I told you about Sophie?" Marceau's Jianyì? "Don't implement it just yet." Martin? Bob shook his head, "These female celebrities are all people who don't see enough benefits and won't take off their pants, and Duke? Rosenberg's scandal during the film's release will only attract more eyeballs, which may boost the box office. "Is that all?" Mel? Gibson doesn't forget the trouble caused by the other side when he was shooting, "He caused us a lot of unnecessary losses. "Of course not." Martin? Bob looked at Mel? Gibson, solemnly advised, "Mel, you are still thinking in terms of the mind of an actor, directors are different from actors, and the public pays more attention to their works than to lace gossip scandals, unless it is like Roman?" Polanski like that, otherwise it would not have been a fatal blow to him at all. "Roman? Polanski ...... "Mel? Gibson pinched his chin and seemed to be lost in thought, muttering in a voice that only he could hear, "All damn Jews!" "Mel!" Presumably to see Mel? Gibson didn't care much, Martin? Bob knocked the table, which was an important fortune tree in his hand, and reminded again, "Don't talk about Duke? Rosenberg, Sophie? Marceau is not an actor without any fame, she will not be at the mercy of others, even if it is CAA! "Mel? Gibson nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart, whether he was willing to be manipulated or not depends on whether the bait thrown out is tempting enough. Of course, he knows very well that in the next schedule, it is still necessary to target "Saving Private Ryan" itself, Duke? Rosenberg will not leave Hollywood, and the anger he has accumulated in Ireland will always be vented one day. (To be continued) ps: It's the weekend, and it will break out tomorrow, four more!
