Whatever you're afraid of, come here!

Xu Guanwu had been worried about this for a long time, but he didn't expect it, and he didn't know what to scold when he was angry.

Fortunately, he reminded Stallone before that although this tough guy in the film industry looks wooden, he actually has a very high IQ.

Knowing that he was being used by this woman, he quietly helped the woman up, and then took off his suit very gentlemanly to cover the woman's leaking spring light. Then, while apologizing to the reporters, he quickly helped the woman to the lounge.

A turmoil quickly turned invisible, Xu Guanwu put down his heart and continued to chat with the filmmakers as if nothing had happened.

Moments later, Sylvester Stallone returned to the hall in spite of his clothes, but his female companion was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's your female companion?" Xu Guanwu took the time to walk up to him and asked, "Still in the back lounge?"

"I've got security guards to kick her out." Stallone said in a cold voice with an expressionless face.

Xu Guanwu glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect Stallone to be so decisive, and he didn't think about the old relationship in the past.

"I said earlier that we are playing on the spot, and we take what we need." Stallone seemed to understand Xu Guanwu's doubts, and said with a sneer, "But she needs too much, she shouldn't have used me as a stepping stone and made small moves at the premiere." ”

"Well, how to put it, she's just trying to become famous." Xu Guanwu sighed, "Hollywood is said to be the holy land of filmmakers. Actually, the Holy Land is only for a small number of people. For most people, it's more appropriate to say it's a grave. ”

"It's also said that it wasn't the "Rocky" that was filmed in the first place. I've become a skeleton now. Stallone also said with deep feelings.

……

Three and a half in the afternoon. The movie premiere officially began. The first is the owner of the publisher 20th Century Fox, Darryl. Zaniuk gave a welcome speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I am very pleased to welcome you to the premiere of Jaws today. "Jaws is one of the highlights of our company's film distribution this year, and today it will be released simultaneously in 400 theaters, which is the first time in the history of Hollywood film distribution......

Hearing Darryl say this, the guests present couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In Hollywood. Before a movie is released, a few test screenings are held to see what the audience thinks, and then it is edited again. It's a bit like a midnight scene in a Hong Kong movie.

After the official release, first find a few theaters to do a pilot, and if the box office reputation is good, we will consider increasing the scale of the screening. Usually a haode movie doesn't reach a national audience until two weeks later.

Such a purpose, in order to reduce the risk. Avoid investing a lot of money in the early stage when the money situation is uncertain. After all, it's good to release publicity. Whether it's printing a copy of a movie, it's a lot of money.

"He's just crazy."

"No wonder old Zaniuk can't sit in the boss's seat, it turns out that he already has a problem with his brain, how many years can Fox survive like this?"

"Maybe it's not that he's crazy, it's that movie is really good and worth a lot of attention?"

"It's impossible, what can be so good about a film made by a new director?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and a lot of words reached Darryl. Zaniuk's ears were in his ears, but he continued to speak with a spring breeze on his face, "Our company admires the movie Jaws very much and thinks it will make history in Hollywood, so we will not hesitate to put all our efforts into promoting this film. At the same time, I also hope that audiences across the United States will enjoy this film. Now I have invited "Jaws" investor Stanley. Xu came to power. ”

"Stanley. Who is Xu? ”

"It doesn't sound like a surname in our country, maybe it's Japanese, they all have such strange names."

"Why do I think the name sounds familiar? Probably heard about it there before. ”

……

In the sparse applause of everyone, Xu Guanwu walked onto the stage, "Xiexie, you can enjoy your face today, thank you very much, I'm Stanley. Allow. ”

"Oh, it's him! The investor in "Rocky". ”

"The unlucky guy who got ten Oscar nominations and then didn't win a single award?"

"That's him. But if it has $140 million at the box office, I'd rather not have an Academy Award. ”

……

As soon as Xu Guanwu finished introducing himself, there was a buzzing discussion in the audience, and a few words reached his ears, making Xu Guanwu a little crying and laughing.

"The movie "Jaws" is a visual feast that I have prepared for the whole United States and the whole Shijie audience in the middle of summer, and it is guaranteed to make everyone feel refreshed in the summer." Xu Guanwu said with a smug smile.

He vaguely remembers watching a report about "Jaws" before, and after the release of the movie, American beaches were in a depression and tourism was greatly affected. For a long time, people did not dare to approach the shore, lest a behemoth come up from the bottom of the sea.

"This film is directed by a young director who is fledgling but talented, and I believe he will be the brightest director in Hollywood. Now we have our new director, Stephen. Spielberg. After Xu Guanwu finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding and invited Spielberg up.

"Jaws" is not the first film directed by Spielberg, he also had a "Rampage" before, but he is still waiting for the release schedule. So for many well-known filmmakers in the audience, Spielberg is a rookie.

Hearing Xu Guanwu call him the most talented director in Hollywood, even though Americans always like to exaggerate, I still feel that this adjective is a bit too much.

What qualifies this newcomer to be called Hollywood's most talented director?!

For a while, the filmmakers in the audience looked at Spielberg and were a little unfriendly.

Spielberg's face was also a little embarrassed, he didn't dare to claim to be the most talented director in Hollywood in front of many predecessors. While he did have a deep disdain for the stiff and rigid brains of these antiques, that didn't mean he was going to challenge their authority head-on.

"Stanley thinks I'm going to be the brightest director in Hollywood, and I'm grateful that he appreciates me so much, and I'm going to keep working in that direction." Spielberg said, "All of you here are my seniors, and I saw the director of "Sunset", the director of "The Bodyguard" and the director of "Horror Driver...... I've loved your movies since I was a child, and I can say that you guided me on the path of directing, thank you very much. ”

Spielberg's words finally calmed down the anger of everyone in the audience. Everyone is no longer so hostile to this sensible young junior.

"Jaws is my second commercial film, and it comes from my childhood fantasy stories. When I was very young, when I went to the beach, I was always worried that something would come up from the bottom of the sea. Later saw Pete. Benchley's novel Jaws, I felt the urge to bring it to the screen. Later, in Stanley, Richard. Zaniuk & David. With the support of Mr. Brown, I finally achieved this dream. Thank you very much to them! ”

Everyone who had just had a good impression of the new director unanimously applauded and encouraged when they heard this.

Spielberg stepped down the stage amid the applause of everyone, and after returning to his seat, he glanced at Xu Guanwu very strangely, not understanding that he was going to kill himself.

"Stanley, are you deliberately trying to fix Stephen? Do you know who are sitting in the audience, they are the most well-known directors, actors, and producers in Hollywood, and you call Stephen the most talented director in Hollywood, where do you put these people in the audience? "Richard. Zaniuk asked quietly.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. Stephen. Spielberg is indeed the most talented director in Hollywood. Xu Guanwu smiled.

Richard. Zaniuk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "There are so many talented directors in Hollywood, and Stephen is indeed talented. But when it comes to talent first, it is an exaggeration. ”

Xu Guanwu stopped arguing and smiled, "Time will tell." ”

……

After the speech, "Jaws" was officially released.

As the lights dimmed, a white light hit the huge screen, and the audience was very silent.

At the beginning of the film, there is a beach scenery that Americans are familiar with.

Martha's Grape Island in Massachusetts is truly beautiful and the beach scenery is so beautiful that you can't help but be soothed by it.

But Richard and David had a lot of pain, because when filming there, the crew not only had to pay high venue rent, but also had to be restricted by various conditions.

The local government simply slaughtered the "Jaws" crew like fat sheep, forcing them to eat at local restaurants and forcing them to requisition locals as extras......

Twenty percent of the total investment in this play was robbed by this group of vampires, which made Richard and David full of resentment about it.

……

The seaside town is all about tourism, and in the middle of summer, many tourists sunbathe, surf and swim on the beach, everything looks so beautiful.

But the peaceful life was soon shattered, and one day, a young man and a woman went swimming together, but only the man returned. Subsequently, the mutilated body of the girl was found, which was the work of the great white shark.

……

After the accident, the audience all raised their interest and had a certain understanding of the director's ability to control the rhythm of the story.

……

Soon, the sheriff and the mayor got into an argument over whether the beach was sealed or not. The sheriff, who didn't want any more accidents with tourists, was bent on sealing off the beach and stopping people from swimming in the water. However, for the sake of making money, the mayor refused the sheriff's suggestion and ordered him not to publicize the matter.

But soon, a second great white shark homicide case appeared. A boy was attacked while swimming in the water, causing panic among tourists.
