Entering May, the weather in Los Angeles is getting hotter and hotter, but the big guys have long ignored the changes in the weather, because the upcoming summer vacation has not yet begun, and the super blockbusters of major film companies have begun to be released.

Among the many anticipated dramas, the most eye-catching is the costume blockbuster "Gladiator" produced by Universal Pictures and directed by the great director Ridley Scott.

Director Ridley can be said to be a golden sign in the Hollywood directorial industry, his reputation is no less than Spielberg and other four famous directors, he is best at science fiction films, once directed "Blade Runner" and "Alien", both of which have become classics in the history of Hollywood science fiction. In particular, "Blade Runner", which was funded by Hong Kong's Run Shaw in 1982, was filmed, and this film explores a philosophical theme of the relationship between humans and replicants in the detective film noir approach. Although it didn't receive much attention at the time and the box office was mediocre, it wasn't until the early 90s that the film was released in the home market and was recognized by the public as a monumental classic in the history of science fiction films. The film was nominated for two Oscars. Scott also became a big director of science fiction films.

However, now Ridley seems to be tired of the whimsy of science fiction films, and has begun to like the grandeur of epic movies, so there is this epoch-making epic movie "Gladiator".

It is said that in order to shoot this play, director Ridley did his homework, rummaged through all the books on ancient Roman history in the library, and even went to NTU to find a professional professor about this aspect and ask questions about the gladiatorial arena.

It can be said that this is an excellent director who is meticulous and strives for perfection. Now the drama he has filmed will definitely become a masterpiece. What's more, Russell Crowe, who starred in this play, is not an ordinary person, this gentleman is a famous person in Hollywood. He started acting at the age of six, tried to be the leading role at the age of eighteen, and is now thirty-six years old, accumulating countless experiences.

In order to film, he lost weight, exercised muscles, and practiced horseback riding and archery......

It can be said that the joining of Russell Crowe makes this play very deep and thick. It's not just a cosplay, in the words of director Ridley to Russell Crowe, "We're making history." Buddy! ”

As a film company that produces and distributes the film, Universal also has high hopes for this play, especially after watching the sample of this play, the top management directly knocked on the board. Get the word out. Strive for the Olympics!

Universal's decision proved to be very correct, and after the promotion of "Gladiator" was launched, countless fans began to talk about this drama, especially for the exciting war scenes and duel scenes in the film, which were highly praised.

"Oh my God, this is going to be the most epic blockbuster I've ever seen! Foot fighters of Sparta, rise up! —A film critic in Los Angeles

"Although the play has not yet been released. But the grandeur of the scene, as well as the majestic momentum, has killed those of us who like action scenes. I can firmly believe that this drama will definitely become the champion of this year's summer vacation, yes, it will be! - A movie fan in New York

"This is not just an action movie, please see the tidbits of this drama clearly, there are also court battles and historical precipitation, it can be said that any commercial elements are included, so this film will undoubtedly be popular!" - A team in Chicago

……

With this situation of collective complaining after watching the movie, it can be said that this "Gladiator" has not yet been released, and it has already taken the lead, and it can be said that the aura of the blockbuster is fully revealed.

Just when everyone was looking forward to the unanimous applause for "Gladiator", a news came that the animated film "Speed Snail" co-produced by Dream Pictures and Paramount was about to be released...... But this is not the most exciting, after all, a cartoon can't shake the leadership of "Gladiator", but the next news is...... The play will premiere at Fox River Jail in Chicago!

Bang Bang!

It's like a calm sea has ignited hundreds of tons of explosives buried deep in the depths!

The whole of Hollywood, no, it should be the entire American film industry that has been overturned by this bombshell news!

The waves are monstrous!

Since there have been movies, there have been countless premieres, and there have been countless various ways of premiering...... But who has ever seen a premiere in prison?!

Isn't it too obscure~ angry?

Isn't it too perverted~ perverted?!

But - Hollywood itself is a place that welcomes perverts~ perversions!

Especially those media, they threw aside the newly popular "Gladiator" and began to turn around and report on "Speed Snail".

"The prison held the premiere, the snail was against the nerves!"

"Only you can't think of it, no snail can't do it!"

"Dream teamed up with Paramount, and the prison premiere was a success!"

……

For a while, the news announcing the drama "Speed Snail" was overwhelming!

So much so that the popularity of the drama "Snail" was instantly hyped to the boiling point, which made many super blockbusters embarrassed!

Of course, there are also some American media that flaunt controversy and rationality and have expressed very sharp opinions about the "Chicago Prison Premiere".

"Hype! It's naked ~ naked ~ naked hype! What a bullshit prison premiere, as long as anyone with a little brains knows, this is a very low-level and uninteresting hype method, the purpose is to attract everyone's attention, let's pay attention to this damn cartoon! Dear friends, please wake up and stop being blinded by such despicable means! ”

It's good that this comment is not published, but as soon as it is published, I think it is a red-hot soldering iron thrown directly into the water, and the next time, thick white smoke rises!

Steaming!

The water in Hollywood is boiling even more!

……

Just when the outside world was full of public opinion, Dream Pictures and Paramount were quickly preparing to move to Chicago for the premiere of "Speed Snail".

Fortunately, this is an animated film, and there is no need to pack and transport the male and female stars in the play to Chicago, just a light car with the screening master tape, and some formalities and equipment needed for the premiere.

The preservation of the master tape of the premiere film has always been a top priority, especially in events that are not released at the same time around the world, and the audience who can see the master tape is the luckiest first audience.

The premiere of "Speed Snail" this time is not the usual global synchronization, but the Chicago prison premiered three days earlier, and the global audience will be able to see the cartoon three days later.

What do you do for you?!

Of course, this is still what Yi Feiyang means.

Yi Feiyang's meaning is very simple, that is, let the media that denigrate the company's "prison premiere" as hype see whether this is really a "premiere"!

For a long time, the concept of premieres has been to be released first in one place and then seen elsewhere after a while; However, with the change of the times, the style of premieres has become more and more formalized, and many so-called premieres are basically released simultaneously, or one or two hours apart, which is also called "premiere".

Yi Feiyang is "retro", that is, to have a real "premiere"!

However, compared to the simultaneous release, in the premieres of Hollywood movies over the years, there have been many bad situations such as the disappearance, theft, and destruction of master tapes. As soon as you lose the master tape, you won't be able to make a copy, and without a copy, what will you release?!

Here another person said, why take the mother belt for the premiere, you can make some copies...... In fact, this is the point of "premiere" in the real sense, using the original mother belt to premiere, not as good as being able to let the audience see the original new film, and it can also ensure that what everyone sees is definitely the first model!

This is like buying the new literature of the Republic of China in the previous life, and the highest requirement is one edition and one printing!

Of course, in order to ensure the smooth premiere and the safety of the master tape, Paramount not only purchased a huge amount of insurance, but also equipped Yi Feiyang with escort bodyguards...... A tall black man, with a burly physique like a bear and a leopard, and eyes as sharp as a falcon, I heard that he used to be from the CIA.

The black bodyguard's name is Kane, and he now works for Paramount Security as the head of security, and in the words of Paramount Raymond, he is a capable guy, quick and sharp, and most importantly, trustworthy.

In this way, on April 30, Yi Feiyang took Fat Jack, bodyguard Kane, and prepared mastering and premiere equipment to Chicago by helicopter, and the cartoon "Speed Snail" will premiere in Fox River Prison on May 2!

A dangerous situation arose during the flight, the plane encountered strong air currents, so much so that it tossed in the air. Yi Feiyang, who has always considered himself a good man and is not afraid of heaven and earth, was actually scared, especially feeling that it was too dangerous to fly in the sky with such an iron bump. At that moment, he thought of his parents who were far away in Hong Kong, as well as Anne Hathaway, Jessica and others.

Yi Feiyang has read a book that says that the people people think of when they are in danger are generally the people they like or love.

Mom and Dad, and Anne still talked about the past, as for Jessica, Yi Feiyang really didn't know why he suddenly remembered her, it seemed that he was very wrong with her, this little girl has too many scheming, not the type she likes, but for what...... Why would he think of her in times of crisis?

Yi Feiyang was puzzled.

After the plane passed through the strong air current, it gradually stabilized, look at the black man Kane with the same expression, Yi Feiyang is embarrassed, this is the real man!

If I had to praise Kane in one sentence, it would be that Tarzan collapsed and remained unchanged!

Looking at the fat man Jack again, Yi Feiyang's embarrassment felt a little lighter, and this guy was so frightened...... I'm about to pee my pants!

Therefore, people still have to be compared, otherwise in front of strong people, you will die of depression. (To be continued......)
