Chapter 558: Phantom Wizard

"If that dog X wants to get away with it, shouldn't he keep a low profile?"

Simpson's popularity continued into July, and standing in front of AMC Cinemas' flagship theater in Chicago, Song Ya smiled and waved to the audience attending the premiere of The Phantom Wizard, while cursing Simpson to Yeremov next to him.

That guy's close friend Kardashian kept exposing the black material of the two deceased, attacking the Los Angeles police, playing the race card, and desperately showing off the dream lawyer team, and also pretending to be a not guilty defense, which is too much.

All his previous popularity, except for the disappearance of Frank and Dow's acquisition of Barnes, basically did not jump out of the scope of the entertainment industry and black equality issues, that is to say, if you find your own news from the newspaper, it must feel overwhelming, but in fact, most people in the United States do not care at all and will not buy any entertainment newspapers and magazines, only Frank's disappearance has been widely tracked and reported by social news, and the Dow acquisition has been talked about in the financial media for a long time.

And this time the Simpson case completely caused a boom in the whole society, Song Ya began to worry that after the release of Dance Out of My Life, those potential movie-watching groups, especially black movie-watching groups, would rather sit in front of the TV to chase the case than come to the theater, and the exposure of other media to this movie will inevitably drop sharply.

"Maybe he wants the barristers to work harder? Now the lawyers who have received his money are like cowboys who participate in bull riding competitions, and it will be difficult for them to go up and down, and if the lawsuit is not fought well, their reputation will be affected. Yeremov said.

"Fxxk, that's enough for M-Fxxk."

Song Ya kept spitting fragrant mouths, and his engagement with Mariah Carey was obviously affected, and the photo exclusive has not yet negotiated a satisfactory price.

"Don't bother, it's useless for you to get angry here, it's better to pray that this movie hits the streets. Hehe......" Yeremov sneered.

Song Ya saw the executive in charge of the Phantom Wizard distribution from Universal approaching, "Hey ......" immediately put on a smile and hugged the other party, "Let's go in." ”

"Okay, why didn't Miss Kelly come?" The other party asked.

"There are two or three days left before the engagement ceremony, and she is busy preparing at home, so she can't be separated." Song Ya made an excuse, "Did you receive the invitation?" ”

"Got it, I'll take someone."

The group walked to the inside of the theater, "Dance out of my life and order it next weekend, right?" The other party asked. After getting Song Ya's affirmative reply, he smiled exaggeratedly: "Maybe you should make up some shots, change the baseball scene to rugby, and rub a hot spot haha!" ”

"Very good advice......

The two sides have a competitive relationship, although it is not good to tear their faces in front of them under the same distribution system, but they can't help but talk a little with a stick, Song Ya's emotional management is already very good now, and said perfunctorily: "You should have told me earlier, maybe we really changed it a week earlier." ”

"Hahaha! Please ......"

Everyone sat down one after another, and when the audience entered, some of the main creators of the crew accepted a brief interview in front of the screen, and at the end Song Ya was also called on stage to take a group photo, and then the movie began to play.

A few minutes later, Song Ya watched the spray, the villain in this play is the Oriental Yellow Peril in the Western stereotype, the old routine, with the unique Mi Guo style arrogance to show nondescript, behind the nomadic felt bag stands a Chinese-style wooden building, but there is an ancient Egyptian-style cobra totem entrance, a copper lion on one side guards, the protagonist pushes open the door, but it is crowded with lamas who speak standard English......

The protagonist is naturally a white superhero Phantom Man, with a blonde heroine as standard, Zunlong plays the villain boss, and a costume khan similar to Fu Puzhou, who can mind control and dream of conquering the world with destructive weapons.

All in all, it is a movie shot with the technology of the nineties, but the core is no different from the routine movie of the twenties and thirties when the white hero defeated the scheming yellow race and saved the world.

"Why does Zunlong take on this kind of role?"

Song Ya was uncomfortable to see, in the past, most of Hollywood's roles were played by Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese or white, but he played the last emperor......

"If I knew it was this kind of movie, I wouldn't have come at all." He complained to Yeremov, "Huh? You're happy to see it...... "I found that the other party was happy."

"This film can't be sold." Yeremov, of course, had his reasons for being happy, "far worse than the benchmark Batman." ”

Indeed, Song Ya thought about it and immediately felt better, "A wonderful movie." After the closing credits came out, he applauded with the crowd, and then hugged Bergman, the creator and the owner of the producer and production company, "It's going to be a big hit." ”

"Thank you."

Probably because the other film critics and guests who came to the scene wouldn't say anything bad to their faces, Bergman was in a good mood, "Take a tour of our merch shop?" ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

There's a merch shop just outside the theater, and it's really ambitious, with Universal's counter already stocked with Phantom costumes for fans, as well as some dolls and props, "and a video game in the works." Bergman looked with some envy at the various dinosaur toys that dominated the counter, Hasbro's products, and heard that a Jurassic Park movie drove more peripheral sales than the box office, and it was a super pop blockbuster that sold more than a billion dollars worldwide.

"Cool." Song Ya casually picked up the Phantom Man's masked scarf and put it on his face and tried it on.

The flash came on next to it, well, it was photographed.

"Are you ready to dance my life's merch?" Bergman seemed to want to leave him at the counter a little longer, looking for something to say: "What is it?" You also invest in movies, and merchandising is one of our sources of profit. ”

"Clothing? But it probably won't be sold here......"

His two-piece combination of long and short sleeves should boost the sales of A+ clothing this summer, but T-shirts are not unique, audiences may not necessarily buy A+ brands, and the global counter will not help sell affordable clothes.

"Not a single one?" The other party asked.

"I'm an urban movie." Song Ya smiled cohesively, he didn't like the movie, but it was not good to offend a Hollywood production company boss with a smiling face for no reason, "At most, there are two pieces of the same style on the protagonist, oh yes, there should be a belt......"

"Belt?"

"That's it...... I can't describe it, but you'll know when it's laid out. ”

The two were chatting, and the fans who left the show also appeared in the store in twos and threes, and the two couples recognized Song Ya and immediately gathered around excitedly, "Can you help sign a name?" ”

"Okay." asked for a pen from the counter sales brother, Song Ya casually signed it on the masked towel and handed it to the other party with a smile.

"Let's leave, there are more and more people." Old Mike led the other bodyguards closer.

"Okay, sorry, I'll leave first." Song Ya saw that many young girls in the distance were already shouting 'APLUS! APLUS is there! They surrounded and were quickly surrounded and left the scene.

"Uh...... He hasn't paid yet......"

The guy at the counter stopped the couple and pointed to the masked towel that the other person was holding.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, "I'll do it." Bergman pulled out the rice knife, "No need to look for it." ”

"What about the APLUS people? Isn't it there?! ”

The girls swarmed in, wailing in disappointment, "False alarm! False alarm! Someone else used fandom terminology to remind latecomers loudly.

"The Phantom Wizard's peripherals! Just arrived! The guy at the counter took the opportunity to sell.

"Don't buy it! A big bad movie! I haven't asked them to pay me back for my movie ticket yet! "The girls are very direct in their speech.

Bergman's face became a little ugly, "These brain-dead star chasers, don't care about ......" The photographer next to him explained him.

"I want Peng Peng and Timon Tin!"

"I want Simba!"

The Lion King's screening room next to it also ended, and parents led their children to the largest Disney counter and frantically scanned the goods.

Bergman pursed his lips, his tongue feeling a hint of bitterness.
