Chapter 786: Finch's Blessing or Curse

Time is the easiest way to heal wounds, and more than a month after the premiere shooting, it has gradually subsided, and there are almost no relevant comments in the media, and it has become a thing of the past in Hollywood.

Because of Vin Diesel's relationship, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight Rises" has exceeded $450 million.

But now the most talked-about movie is no longer this Batman, but "Escape from Tehran", which has a patch ad at its opening.

There is still a month left before the release in North America, and "Escape from Tehran" began intensive promotion.

Although the scale of its publicity and distribution is not as large as that of Batman, Disney Studios still invests a lot of money.

From the five major television networks in North America, to the four major newspapers, to the three major social media, Martin's actor Tony Mendes can all be seen.

In addition to the TV station, the trailer was also heavily promoted on the Internet through YouTube, Twitter, and INS.

It's a film of individual heroism, and the film's main poster, Martin's solo poster, can be seen everywhere in the city's business districts and in old and new media.

The slogan "Escape from Tehran" is also eye-catching.

"Based on a real CIA case!"

"The most bizarre rescue operation in the history of the CIA!"

"Six hostages trapped in Tehran, a CIA agent orchestrated a shocking hoax to trick the world into saving lives."

On the side of the main poster character of the movie, that is, Tony Mendes played by Martin, there is also a corresponding promotional slogan - rescue is imperative!

Since the filming of the film began last year, the rescue incident of that year has been fully exposed in the media, and this kind of so-called scam planned by a Hollywood crew to rescue the trapped people has aroused the curiosity of countless people.

Tony Mendes has naturally become a figure of media attention.

The retired legendary agent enjoys being a celebrity, and the CIA is in dire need of a great spokesperson.

Martin, David Fincher and Tony Mendes also appeared together on Helen's "The Helen Show" to share the incredible rescue of the year and the adaptation of the film.

The three of them blew each other on the show, and they all became leaders in their respective industries.

Because this is the last time to attack the Oscar for Best Director, David Fincher is no longer as silent as before, but actively cooperates with the crew's promotion.

Over the years, David Fincher has also had a group of fans who like dark styles.

At the end of the show, Helen found Martin alone and chatted a few words.

"Last shooting, I wanted to ask you to be on the show, but you refused." Helen gossiped: "Did something happen?" ”

Martin shook his head: "There's nothing special, so many people have died, and it's not in a good mood, and it's not suitable to say anything at that time, in the interpretation of the media, it would be wrong to say anything, it's better to keep silent." ”

"yes." Helen smiled slightly: "Not every media is as reliable as my talk show." ”

Among the media reporters Martin knows, the most reliable are Jody and Helen.

Fake news is hardly reported.

Only occasionally does it create some real news.

The trio came out of the Warner TV studio and took Tony Mendes back to the hotel and then to Disney Pictures.

In addition to Bruce, there were only two people in the car, Martin and David Fincher.

David Fincher said: "Did Disney Studios communicate with you? ”

Martin said: "After communication, the main goal of this film is Best Director and Best Picture. ”

He added: "I contacted the White House and confirmed that Guanhai would watch the film, which is a politically charged film that meets his needs very well." ”

David Fincher was impressed: "You're now the number one award winner in the industry. ”

"Don't, I'm not, just rush casually." The Oscar experts that Martin has learned of have all ended up mediocre, needless to say Harvey Weinstein.

In her previous life, Megan Ellison rushed to the bankruptcy of the company.

David Fincher knows that watching movies is very influential, the Oscars are never good enough for movies to win awards, there are too many elements that affect the attribution of awards, and politics is undoubtedly a very representative one.

The vast majority of people in Hollywood support the Donkey Party, where Guanhai is located.

That afternoon, Martin and David Fincher attended a preview screening of "Escape from Tehran".

Hundreds of people, including the media, critics and theater managers, praised the film after the test screening.

The theater managers even gave the film an average of "A".

In the past two years, Disney Pictures has integrated resources and produced a number of films that have received excellent market responses, and its distribution business has made rapid progress.

After the test screening, Disney Studios' distribution department immediately took action, and soon the good news came that "Escape from Tehran", which will be released in October, will open in North America with 3,850 theaters.

Later, Martin embraced a new form of publicity, giving an online video interview to Twitter.

Similar propaganda followed, from Los Angeles to New York on the East Coast, where Martin and David Fincher began working in a three-point model of airport, hotel and announcement.

In addition, Disney Studios, David Fincher and Martin have also sent out a lot of invitations.

Like Martin's side, Leonardo and Nicholson are confirmed to be in attendance.

Elon Musk took the initiative to call and asked for three invitations.

Then there are many old white men, including the president of the academy, Tom Sherrac, who also received invitations from Martin, David Fincher and Disney Studios President Alan Horn.

The environment and correctness of Hollywood have been changing in recent years, but the old white men have not yet reached the time to withdraw from the stage of history.

Those demonic and monster films will not be in the Oscars for a few more years.

In October, Disney Studios held a grand premiere of "Escape from Tehran" at Chandler Hall in the Los Angeles Music Center.

The premiere is basically the same routine, red carpet, interviews, etc., but the crew has made careful arrangements, for the sake of the publicity effect, in addition to inviting Tony Mendes himself, they also spent a lot of effort to find the hostages or their descendants who were rescued by Tony Mendes.

When these guys were the first to walk the red carpet of the premiere with Tony Mendes, the eyes of all media reporters were drawn to them.

The use of Hollywood crews to carry out fraudulent rescues is already legendary.

Under the strong publicity of the crew and Disney Studios, this incident has become a model of transnational rescue, a true legend.

And Tony Mendes was portrayed as a hero by Disney and the CIA combined.

The group gathered in front of Chandler Hall and took a group photo together.

Around, a large number of security personnel were on full alert.

Because on both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of clowns painted with white oil paint and painted bloody mouths gathered.

The Los Angeles Police Department also added patrols on the scene, rather than the routine like the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises.

As the guests walked on the red carpet, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Elon Musk, who has skyrocketed in fame this year, surprised countless fans and media reporters when he walked on the red carpet with his girlfriend Amber Heard and ex-wife Tanlula Riley at the same time.

A reporter from People magazine muttered, "Rich people play with real horses." “

The TMZ reporter next to him said: "It is said that this person has a good relationship with Martin, why are Martin's male friends all such playboys?" ”

On the other side, a reporter from "Vanity Fair" said: "There may not be five or six beautiful lovers, and you can't enter Martin's circle at all." ”

The people around him felt that this made sense and echoed it.

These damn rich people spend too much money, and they take away a lot of good resources.

Ordinary people can only envy, envy and hate.

A black Escalade stopped in front of the red carpet, and Bruce was the first to get out of the car, sweeping the sides of the red carpet with a wary gaze and pulling the back door open.

Martin put the phone he had just hung up in his pocket, and just after Robert sent a message, the ceremony was ready.

Getting out of the car, he smiled at the camera and strode forward in the flash.

There were a lot of clowns gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and they shouted loudly, and seeing Martin seemed to see the god of faith.

Martin just waved to them, and then entered the area where the Cult of Coke gathered, signing autographs and raising a glass of Coke.

Amid the cheers, Martin entered the media area in front of Chandler Hall, was briefly interviewed by the live host, and went to the sponsor billboard to pose for a photo with the rest of the crew.

After a group photo, David Fincher walked towards the door of the hall, looked at both sides of the red carpet, and said, "Fortunately, nothing happened." ”

"You can't always run into crazy people and perverts," Martin said. ”

David Fincher gave him a deliberate look, but did not speak.

Martin was helpless: "Don't associate me with those people." ”

"But they do learn from you." David Fincher made a rare joke: "I've worked with Jodie Foster, I've heard her talk about Hinckley, and you have to be careful when you meet a female version of Hinckley." ”

Martin laughed, "David, are you a blessing or a curse?" ”

David Fincher asked, "Can this also be a blessing?" ”

Martin shrugged: "What if that female version of Hinckley is prettier than Nicole Kidman?" ”

Entering Chandler Hall, Alan Horn greeted him and accompanied Martin and David Fincher towards the VIP room.

The guests who arrived first all gathered in the lounge at this time and waited for the premiere to begin.

After Martin entered, he went to Tony Mendes's side first, shook hands with those people and their descendants, and said kind words.

In this kind of thing, especially in public, Martin has always been very particular.

Turning around, Martin finds Leonardo and Nicholson.

These two bastards are chatting with Musk, a bastard from Silicon Valley.

Instead, Musk's two female companions went to other places to socialize.

Musk said: "They still want to work hard in Hollywood, and they all go to build relationships, not as pure as me." ”

Martin said, "You're too pure to take two women on the carpet at once. ”

"What, envy?" Musk laughed and said, "Think about my suggestion." ”
