Chapter 150: Elmo Wants to Play
There are almost never movie premieres held at Beverly Center 13 Studios, and "The Wedding Is Coming" is the first of its kind.
At this time, the ticket hall in the cinema was very lively, with a large promotional background board erected on one wall, a short red carpet in front, and a photographer area not far away, where reporters from more than a dozen media set up their equipment and set up a temporary fence behind them to separate more than a dozen fans who arrived early.
The audience customers who come in and out will naturally look at this side curiously, what are the activities?
Not everyone was interested after asking the staff, and at this moment, the surprise suddenly came!
Accompanied by two assistants, Cage and Gia walked on the red carpet together, and suddenly pieces of white light continued to shine, and fans shouted excitedly: "Cage, Cage!"
They didn't stay long before heading to the screening room, taking the only starlight with them.
Then the two lead actors, Todd Segi and Ashley Mato, entered the venue just like a procedure, and the reporters were not diligent in pressing the shutter, but the two of them smiled very brightly, and it was a great honor for them to be actors like them who didn't have an avatar photo on an IMDB page (and now have it).
They all thought that maybe their fate had been changed by that 16-year-old boy, and it was amazing to think about it.
Shortly after the two entered, today's protagonist, the film's most talked-about person, arrived with a strong lineup!
"Viy!", "Oh my God, I saw a real person!", "You're so cool!", "I'd like to date you!", ......
The fans shouted excitedly, almost breaking through the defense line, and were stopped by the staff, their reaction was much better than when they saw Cage just now, especially the young girls, who came for viy, first to see their idols, visit the mall, and come to see the second screening later.
Today's Weizhen is going to make them handsome, I don't know if it's because the black clothes look good, or his body is hot, just like a young knight there, his handsome face doesn't look nervous at all, and his signature toothy smile charms all directions.
In his left hand, he was holding two cute little dogs, both of whom were wearing red knots around their necks, with a festive look, and in the other hand he was dragging a cute little girl in a pink princess costume of three or four years old, his sister.
She is also not stage frightened, her sweet smile is like candy, and she is holding a toy board cart in her hand, and there is a small Sucata tortoise lying on the car, which is very interesting.
And a little girl followed, Anna Sophia Robb, her short blonde hair flowing down, colorful dresses showed her lively cuteness, smiling and waving hands.
This lineup is intimate and funny, probably like "The Wedding is Coming".
"Only, look at me!" Suddenly, a girl fan shouted, she held up a dazzling big card that had been prepared, and the card read: "Your dream is a movie, my dream is you!
It really made Ye Wei look over, and his smile was even happier, and the girl was overjoyed, as if she was excited to say to the people around her: "He smiled at me! Awesome, oh my God!"
"It's not you, it's just smiling at me. Another girl next to her said urgently.
"You're a fool to think that! He's smiling at me!"
Reporters keep taking photos, if "The Wedding is Coming" is successful, Ye Wei will have more fans, and the value of these photos will be higher, but if it fails, the photos are useless, and most of these fans will disappear.
At least now, the glittering light is shining on Ye Wei and the others.
......
As the sky gets darker, the half-round moon hangs high in the night sky, and the light shines on the stars of Hollywood Boulevard, and another wonderful night in the City of Angels begins.
The screening room was already full, with 400 seats each a valuable resource, and many of the guests could not bring their families, including only 30 regular audience members, who were lucky enough to get tickets to the Guò Promotional Film Showdown, which was limited to the Los Angeles area.
The four spectators who were absent and did not show up were selected by lottery from among the fans waiting in the ticket hall to make up for it, including the girl holding the card, which made her scream with joy.
But she can only sit in the back row, and the first few rows belong to the big names, the crew members and the reporters, and 24 film critics like Roger Ebert are there.
Then there were the investors, relatives and friends, and the members of the Dream Chaser Alliance, where Lily also sat in that area, and Rameau, who were all low-key bigwigs in the hall.
"Cool, man, cool!", "yes!" Lev, Bard and the other four were looking around, all sighing with emotion, thinking that half a year ago it was here, but the screening hall was empty, and how many people were there at that time? Twenty? Brother Wei is amazing!
Attorney Salton and his wife were also here, and not far away was Mike Schwartz, a lawyer and a convenience store owner, all smiling so hard that they couldn't see their eyes.
Behind them were the general audience, without a single empty seat!
There was still a little time before the opening, and everyone's laughter and conversation converged into a lively movement.
In the front row, Ye Weizheng was greeting the film critics, many of whom were film critics he knew and liked.
Because of professional reasons, film critics and filmmakers will keep a certain distance, but it does not mean that there is zero communication, and sometimes they can even cooperate, such as Albert once wrote the scripts of many films such as "One Flew Over the Valley of Beauty" (NC-17) with Ross Mayer.
"Mr. Albert, I'm glad you're here. Ye Wei shook hands with the old man with round glasses, with irrepressible excitement in his heart, the quality of the movie can't all depend on Albert's mouth, but this old man is indeed an important judge, he smiled: "So I decided that the first thing I want to do when I become an adult is to watch "Flying Over the Valley of Beauty". ”
"Haha. Albert smiled, "I hope your movie is as interesting as your words." ”
"I hope you enjoy it too. Ye Wei nodded and greeted other film critics.
......
When the time was close to 19:30, the screening entered the countdown, and Ye Wei took the microphone to the front of the big screen to prepare for the opening. It is a necessary part of the premiere, and the director or producer will say a few words before the opening, and if you don't talk about it, it is called a "cold opening".
Sometimes a cold opening is a good thing, but today is certainly not, watching comedy needs an atmosphere, the more joyful the atmosphere looks like, the more fun it looks, whether you can mobilize the atmosphere of the audience with a few opening words, it depends on the speaker's ability.
"Hello everyone, everyone, and welcome to the premiere of "The Wedding is Coming". ”
As Ye Wei's voice sounded, the screening hall fell silent, everyone looked in the direction of the big screen, and many people were looking forward to what Viy was going to say?
"Whew!" Glancing at the people, Ye Wei exhaled nervously, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The movie is about to be screened, no matter what, we are really, really trying to turn it from a mess of stinky-into a pile of gold, I think this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry should be awarded to me, such a material transformation is a great innovation." ”
Everyone suddenly chuckled, and many young people even whistled, this is not a school, there are not so many rules, you can cheer and cheer to your heart's content!
"When I was a child, my mom used to tell me to be a happy person and to be a person who makes others happy. I get it, it's about being Elmo-wants-to-play, Elmo-wants-to-play! Mom, I didn't do well in my studies when I was a kid, and you have an unshirkable responsibility. ”
Listening to Ye Wei playing treasure, the audience laughed, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao's smiles were full of relief, and Duoduo shouted: "Brother, it's okay, no one is perfect." ”
"Director, Aimor wants to play, actor, Aimor wants to play, screenwriter, producer, editor, Aimor wants to play, and really plays, it's this movie! Aimmo also sincerely hopes that it can bring everyone happiness, let's start!"
Before Ye Wei's words fell, there was a warm applause in the hall, giving him the story and opening words, and how the movie was about was the applause at the end.
"go, go, go!" Lily clapped vigorously, her eyes were full of love, she didn't know what mood she was feeling right now, but she was nervous and excited, and she couldn't help but make her body tremble slightly and her indescribable excitement......
"It's open!" how many people shouted this sentence in their hearts, and a pair of eyes looked at the bright big screen, the wedding date has arrived!
Ye Wei returned to his seat and sat down, leaning on the back of the chair, looking a little expressionless, but in fact, his heart was already blank, as if everything had stopped, only the screen remained.
The light music suddenly resounded in the screening room, and the opening animation of the only image played on the screen, the little boy and the little girl frolicked through the grass, and a little dog ran into the frame, stopped to sniff the flowers and plants on the side of the road, and chased after it, and "vido" appeared in the center of the screen. This is followed by a Preton logo.
At this moment, Ye Haogen burst into tears, and he was sure that he was the happiest and proudest father in the world.
And the eyes of film critics such as Roger Albert and Richard Roope have changed, like boxers walking into the ring and entering the fight!
Boy, how are you doing, talk in the movies!
