Chapter 317: The Story of a Cow
Fans were stunned, and media reporters frantically took pictures.
At the front of the red carpet, Martin, Leonardo, and Nicholson led a docile old cow towards the theater.
Nicholson wore sunglasses, smiled from ear to ear, walked the red carpet and gave it to the director's old buddy, for the first time in his life, he thought it was particularly funny.
Leonardo looked at Martin and said that a bastard could do such a unique action.
Martin walked at the front, leading the ox to the middle of the red carpet and waving around.
The surrounding fans let out piercing screams.
The reporters who could follow on both sides of the red carpet seemed to be crazy, constantly pressing the camera shutter.
Leonardo said: "We're going to grab the headlines of the North American entertainment version. ”
"It's going to take a few more times for such an interesting thing." Nicholson took two steps forward and snatched the reins from Martin's hand: "You've had enough of the limelight, it's time to change me!" ”
The reins were handed to Nicholson, and Martin walked towards where the Cult of Coke had gathered, taking a can of Coke from Bruce, who had followed him, opening it, and holding it high into the air.
Hundreds of people nearby raised the Coke in their hands and shouted in unison: "Coke God Cult, Forever!" ”
Then, someone shouted, "The Sect Master is mighty! ”
Hundreds of people shouted: "The Sect Master is mighty! ”
At the entrance of the Whiteson Theatre, Warner's Daniel said to producer Graham, "See? This is the leader of the Cult of the Coke. ”
Graham nodded slightly: "There are many supporters. ”
Daniel added: "In the case of this film, we did market research and estimated that Martin alone could add more than $5 million to the film's first-week box office. ”
Graham has read the relevant report: "My personal opinion is that among the post-80s male stars, Martin's commercial appeal is the strongest, at least one of the strongest." ”
"Martin's value goes beyond commercial appeal." Daniel reminded: "Don't forget, today's plan was originally proposed by him. ”
Graham met the mad bull-like reporters and said, "The news flashpoint has appeared. ”
Daniel laughed heartily.
Three bastards, leading a cow, swaggered through the city and approached the media area and the specially arranged platform in front of the theater.
Al-Pacinomo rubbed his chin and said, "It's not like Leonardo and Nicholson's style of doing things. ”
Robert De Niro said: "It's definitely Martin. He looked at Scorsese: "Get ready, your guys have brought you cattle." ”
Scorsese straightened his bow tie and said, "Why not a cow?" ”
On the opposite side, Nicholson picked up his speed slightly and pulled the cow across from Scorsese.
A large number of reporters gathered around.
Nicholson said loudly: "A few days ago, you said that you liked to direct the cow performance, and the three of us went overnight to buy the most obedient cow and came back, and now on behalf of the trio, I officially give you a cow, and you can film with the cow in the future." ”
"I took it." Scorsese took the reins, hugged his old buddy Nicholson, and then beckoned Martin and Leonardo: "Come here, take a picture together." ”
Martin and Leonardo went over, and the four of them stood together in front of the sponsor's backdrop and took a photo with Lao Niu.
Scorsese then gave an interview and said: "This gift is very precious, I will bring it back to the United States, direct it to act, let the three fools see, what is a good actor who listens to the director's command." ”
After saying that, he laughed to himself.
The three of them were also laughing happily.
Matt Damon, who has entered the theater, sees this scene clearly through the glass window, he sees it very thoroughly, and he has been excluded from the core of the crew since the beginning of filming in New York.
The so-called trio was also single-handedly created by Martin Davis.
Matt Damon can't get into that circle, but he has his own circle.
"Let's go." He said to the manager next to him: "Let's go into the theater and wait for the screening." ”
The manager followed and said, "I just communicated with Graham, and the crew has an opinion about your absence from most of the publicity because of the filming of "Spy 3", but it is not very big. ”
Matt Damon said: "I'm not the core. He asked instead, "Are the crew and Warner Bros. confirmed for a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Martin Davis?" ”
"Yes, it's decided." The manager said what he heard: "It is said that in order to ensure that he can get the nomination, Leonardo gave up the role of the best actor in this film and chose the role of another film "Blood Diamond". ”
Matt Damon nodded, "I see." ”
In the media area, reporters almost surrounded Martin and three people.
Martin was also duly interviewed, and reporters specifically asked him about this collaboration with Scorsese.
"I've experienced life on the ground at the Boston Police Department, and it has helped me a lot." He said that all he said was a prepared draft, and he didn't have to worry about conflicting with other people's speeches: "I like this role very much, and before filming, director Scorsese told me that you just need to read the lines in the script and do the rest to your heart's content." ”
Ten minutes later, with the assistance of the crew's publicity and public relations staff, the main creative staff broke out of the media reporters and walked towards the door of the Waiyason Theater.
"Moo-"
There was a cow barking from behind.
Martin looked back, and the docile old cow was still standing out in the crowd.
It stared at the people who were walking away, and mooed, as if questioning why it had abandoned it.
Someone will come and take the cattle away, and then they will be sent to the United States.
Scorsese has a ranch and it's easy to feed a cow.
The red carpet part of the premiere ended, and many online media reporters immediately withdrew from the scene, found a temporary office nearby, and connected to the Internet through laptops and wireless network cards, and sent the news and photos of the premiere scene as quickly as possible.
As soon as the news hit the Internet, it attracted widespread attention.
In the hall of the theater, the main creative staff of the crew came to the front row in applause, and the theater, which can accommodate thousands of people, was full at this time.
Guests, journalists, critics, columnists, and overseas buyers gathered to fill the first 10 rows, taking up nearly half of the seats.
Ordinary fans occupy the other half.
Before sitting down, Scorsese looked behind him, and it was difficult for him to make waves in his heart after many years of directing, but he still hoped that the film would have a good result.
Especially at the Oscars.
Giving up the award-winning biopic film and returning to the gangster film he does best, Scorsese is ambitious.
Many people say they don't care about the Oscar statuette, but in this industry and in this environment, there are very few people who really don't care.
In Leonardo's words, after being rich and beautiful and having a material foundation, there will definitely be some other pursuits.
Martin sat between Nicholson and Leonardo, moved his hands and feet slightly, and pulled out his phone to take a look.
There is an unread text message on the phone and the caller appears as Robert.
"The ceremony is ready, rest assured."
Martin turned off the phone's sound and vibration and put it back in his pocket.
The ritual of begging for the lottery has been insisted on for several years.
After every use, fighting for roles and film screenings is always a smooth sailing, and Martin certainly doesn't give up.
Leonardo suddenly whispered: "According to Warner Bros. estimates, this film may become my highest-grossing movie outside of the Titanic." ”
"I remember you were one of the investors, and if you made enough money, you would ask me to go out for three days and three nights," Martin said. ”
Leonardo asked, "You also brought money into the group, as if the money came from Asia?" Why didn't you see that investor today? ”
Martin understood: "Wu Maoting was able to enter the United States, but Canada denied him entry, and Pacific Pictures and my studio were hosting him in Los Angeles. ”
Nicholson looked at Martin and Leonardo at this time, and took out the boss's momentum: "It's going to be screened, talk less, be quiet, in my time, you will directly smoke your brother to death." ”
Martin didn't bother to reply and looked at the big screen.
This is a vulgar gangster film full of American street culture, which may have a preconceived relationship, even if he himself participated, Martin still felt that the Hong Kong version was better.
It may also be that the freshness of the Hong Kong version can give people a clean and fashionable, and even philosophical, romantic and poetic feeling full of oriental meaning.
Scorsese's film, probably like the low-level Americans on the street, is vulgar, direct and realistic.
From police officers to gangsters, all members of the staff swear every day.
The characters are unrestrained and lazy.
The two films can be said to be very different in terms of expression and film genre.
The Hong Kong version belongs to an elite police film.
This Departed is a street-based gangster film.
The heaviest scenes in the film are the roles of Leonardo and Martin, but the real core is Frank played by Nicholson.
This guy is an absolute genius when it comes to acting.
It's also that people are old and well-informed, and the Oscar statuetter has enough and doesn't care.
Otherwise, if the crew applied for a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for him, Martin would definitely have to stand aside in terms of performance and role alone.
Even so, Martin still performed better than Leonardo in the opponent's play.
"Not to mention that Martin crushed Leo, but Leo was also dwarfed in front of him." Robert De Niro lowered his voice and said to Al Pacino: "After all these years, Leo has never solved his old problems. ”
El Pacino nodded: "Martin has good talent, sleek and skillful acting skills, although he is not a talented actor like Nicholson, but if he develops well in the future, he may not be worse than you and me." ”
Robert De Niro said: "It's a very interesting film, and the most entertaining of Scorsese's films. ”
Al-Pacino said: "It's very watching, maybe it will help him set a personal box office record. ”
Like all art-oriented directors, Martin Scorsese's films earn average box office revenue, and many times rely on offline to make a profit.
At the end of the film's screening, the two protagonists unexpectedly all embarked on the point of no return.
When Tin kills Colin Sullivan with one shot, the whole film ends.
The scene resounded with extremely warm applause.
