Chapter 859: Three steps and one kill, ten steps to lie down
Los Angeles Hollywood, Emirates Rock Theatre.
On the poster that occupies the entire theater wall, Martin holds a gun in one hand, staring coldly at the world.
Underneath the poster, there is a sea of black and red.
Black is the fans of the "Fast and Furious" series, and now the concept of thugs in suits is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and these people come to the premiere, all wearing black suits and white shirts.
Red is a member of the Cult of Coke, a pan-faith organization with tens of millions of members across the United States, who are the largest supporters of Martin, the leader of the Cult of Cola, whenever a new film is released.
Even if only one-fifth of the people watch the movie, it can bring nearly 100 million dollars at the North American box office.
Martin's success is like winning the Oscars, not just in the movies.
The male members of the crew who walked on the red carpet all wore black dresses without exception.
Martin even stepped on the red carpet in the style of Jonathan, full of coldness.
"Eternal Coke God Cult, Eternal Coke God of War!"
After drinking Coke, coming to the door of the theater, Martin met Mene and waited a little before director Chad came from behind, and the three of them entered the media area together.
Earlier, Blake Lively was being interviewed, in addition to talking about the movie "Fast and Furious 3", he also talked about the new film with Martin, praising the new film as a thriller that scares everyone.
Martin, Mene, and Chad came over, and the host immediately switched to this side.
"After hearing about this one, are you going to expand the universe of "Fast and Furious"?" The questions asked by the moderator were all previously communicated: "When did these ideas first appear?" ”
Martin pushed Chad to the front: "Our director had a plan for it a long time ago. ”
Chad smiled and said, "The first part of the year was a great success, which brought us great surprises. ”
His words were also prepared in advance, the success of "Fast Pursuit 3" is inevitable, and the most urgent task now is to increase the attention of the follow-up "Continental Hotel in New York": "After the first part was filmed, I, Martin, Mene, Marcus and Chen Hu got together to discuss, to what extent can the worldview of the film be expanded? In addition to the male protagonist Jonathan, can we dig into other character stories? ”
The host asked, "You decided you wanted to make a film with Winston as the main character?" ”
"Not at the time." Chad pulled Mene over again: "At that time, we didn't really realize that the biggest impetus came from the audience, Mane's Winston was very popular, and the audience's love for this series, the love for the character of Winston, gave us the possibility to continue filming." ”
The host asked Mene again: "I understand that you are Martin's most loyal fan?" ”
"That's right, I've known Martin for 10 years, we were friends 10 years ago, and I'm Martin's first fan." Mane's words are sincere: "I joined the series because of Martin, dreaming of being able to push the limits of my body in a new way, just like Martin, and I wanted to recreate what Martin did." ”
His words are full of Martin: "I have worked with Martin for so many years, every action movie, more than 95% of the action, Martin is done by himself, in today's ubiquitous computer CG technology, as long as the actor does the appearance, the computer can complete everything for him, but Martin still insists on doing those actions in person, Martin makes people look at action movies in a new way." ”
The host went on to ask, "Are you ready for the new film?" ”
"Yes, I've been doing all kinds of preparations all these years." "It was a huge challenge to play the role well, not only did I have to do a lot of movement training, but I also couldn't separate the drama from the action, and it was the hardest and most rigorous preparation of all my roles, and hopefully I could be half as good as Martin." ”
The three of them were interviewed, came to the sponsor's background board, and took a group photo with the rest of the main creative staff of the crew.
Clara walked over to Martin on her own and grabbed Martin's left arm.
Blake Lively cursed Bichi, clinging to Martin's right.
No one was surprised, and no one was even surprised, the main creators and media reporters present were very aware of the ecological environment of Hollywood.
After a group photo, everyone entered the theater together.
Clara stayed by Martin's side, asking as she went, "Are you coming to my house tonight?" ”
Martin thought for a moment: "You go to the Ritz-Carlton, it's still the same room as last time." ”
Seeing Clara nodding, he asked again: "The filming of "Avengers 2" is finished?" ”
"It's done." Clara said simply: "Dr. Zhao doesn't have many plays, but in the new season of "S.H.I.E.L.D.", it will be an important role, and Marvel Studios and Disney have asked me to continue to play this role." ”
Martin said: "I said hello to Disney Studios, you work hard, don't get involved in the mess of the crew." ”
Marvel and Disney now have a series of conflicts with Joss Wheddon, the director of the Avengers series, involving huge conflicts of interest between the two sides, and the contradictions can intensify at any time.
Clara's agent is Natasha, and she also listened to Natasha's advice, and hurriedly responded: "I understand." ”
Blake Lively, who was originally talking to his agent in the back, quickly caught up at this time, grabbed Martin's arm, and said, "Let's talk alone." ”
Clara is very clear about her position, and as little as possible to avoid causing trouble to Martin, she took the initiative to let go of her hand: "I'll ask the director if there is any role for me in the next play." ”
After all, Blake had been talking to Martin about a normal boyfriend and girlfriend for a while, and asked, "Honey, can my character stand on its own?" ”
In this part, she plays an extremely powerful female killer and the head of the Continental Hotel Casablanca, and will fight alongside Martin in the film.
Martin has considered the role of Blake, who is different from Halle Berry in his previous life, although the latter is an Oscar-winning actress, but at this time period, except for the Storm Girl, there is no role that can be handled, and the actual status in the industry can barely be regarded as second-rate.
has average appeal, and several precedents have proved that she can't hold up a movie.
If the Hunt universe wants to expand, it is natural that the role of Halle Berry will no longer be considered.
But Blake's situation is different, he is 27 years old, is in the prime age of Hollywood actresses, and is also the first person in the number of online fans among Hollywood actresses.
Her films have a certain audience base, and if they work well, it is not impossible to make a profit.
Blake's biggest problem is that his acting skills are quite average, but action movies don't need good acting skills, but they need Blake's good figure.
Young Scarlett Johansson, the effect of Black Widow should be obvious to all.
Martin thought for a moment and said directly: "As long as your character in "Fast Pursuit 3" has a good response, I will consider taking her out alone to shoot a new movie." ”
"I knew you were the best for me," Blake said. ”
Martin thought as he walked, and said: "In fact, in Hollywood now, there are more and more movies with women as the absolute protagonists, including action movies. My dear, your acting talent is mediocre, and it is difficult to make achievements in taking the literary route, maybe the positioning of an action actress is more suitable for you. ”
Blake didn't hide it at all in front of Martin: "It doesn't matter what the award is, I just want to be a star, I just want to shine, I just want to make a lot of money and enjoy the best life." “
This side is very real, and Martin said, "You'll be more famous in the future." ”
Blake smiled happily and said, "If you break up with Elizabeth one day, wouldn't it be good to choose me to be your official girlfriend again?" Don't worry, I don't care how many women you have outside, even if you want to play with them, I can. ”
Martin just replied, "It's good right now." ”
Blake couldn't help but sigh, he was also one of the witnesses of the Burbank Middle School incident, why did he give up in a daze? It's really that when I was young, I didn't know the importance of money and fame, and I just wanted to pursue a fresh and exciting love, and when I woke up, the best one had been snatched away by others.
The audience of the premiere entered the venue one after another, the guests and media reporters sat in the front row, and the main creative staff of the crew entered the screening hall at the end.
Amid warm applause, Martin and his party came to the first row.
At today's premiere, Disney came with several heavyweights.
Not only Disney Studios co-chairman Alan Horn walked the red carpet, but even Walt Disney CEO Robert Iger was in person.
The latter shook Martin's hand tightly and said, "I've read Allen's report on Beauty and the Beast, and many of your proposals are fantastic. ”
Martin said with a smile: "Actually, we can collaborate on more Disney fairy tale live-action films." ”
Probably because of his relationship, Alan Horn was more affected, and after the failure of the live-action fairy tale film "Enchanted Black Forest", Disney Studios did not touch the genre again until "Beauty and the Beast".
"Enchanted Black Forest" invested hundreds of millions of dollars and gathered many big-name stars in a live-action fairy tale movie, which lost commercially.
Robert Egger nodded slightly, but did not answer, and instead turned his gaze to Alan Horn.
Alan Horn continued: "Beauty and the Beast has an important crew meeting in a few days, Martin, you, the producer and the second largest investor, will also attend, and we will talk in detail then." ”
"Yes," Martin said. ”
Disney Studios' large investment projects will also be financed externally, and Davis Studios is more popular with Disney than ordinary investors.
The biggest advantage of Robert Iger is that he lets professional people do professional things, and he doesn't interfere casually.
Whether it is Disney Studios or Marvel Studios, as long as it does not touch the warning line of Walt Disney, the head office will not interfere with normal operations.
The film screening was about to begin, and everyone was seated.
Blake leaned over to Martin again and whispered about his collaboration with Disney Pictures.
Martin casually responded with a few words and reminded: "Watch the movie seriously." ”
As the lights on the ceiling went out, the premiere of "Fast Chase 3" began.
It's a top-notch action visual feast.
Martin's outstanding skills ensure that the film is real and cool enough from fighting to gunfights to horse battles.
Compared with other action movies that like to use dazzling and fast editing, the "Fast Pursuit" series prefers to use smooth large long shots to bring the audience a comfortable and smooth viewing experience.
The large long shot not only reflects the director's choreography skills, but also has higher requirements for the actors in the fight.
In the past, Hollywood action movies were very fond of using handheld photography and ultra-short shots for quick editing to establish a sense of pseudo-presence, which was not bad, but was itself a measure that was forced to be used in order to cover up the actors' action skills.
In Martin's case, this did not exist, so the "Fast and Furious" series frequently used long shots.
On the third part, there is even a nine-minute one-shot action long shot.
The effect is far more than those seemingly sharp short shots of quick editing, which makes the audience addicted to watching.
These are certainly not Hollywood firsts, and strictly speaking, Chad studied the action movies of the port city.
In the 80s and 90s, there were a large number of people with martial arts or juggling skills, unlike Hollywood, which relied heavily on editing.
The quality of the actor itself determines the shooting mode of the action scene.
In addition to close combat, the gunfight scenes in the "Fast Pursuit" series are also very particular, which also relies on Martin's own gunnery literacy.
So, in the film, Martin God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha.
Three steps and one kill, ten steps to lie down, fists to the flesh, guns and guns are bloody.
The plot or something, the basic logic is reasonable, as long as the fight is getting better and better, the audience will like it.
Fans who choose this film, no one expects to see the meaning of life or philosophical speculation in this kind of film.
Even, once the film is added to these, the reputation may collapse.
The feeling that "Fast Pursuit 3" brings to the audience is only one word - cool!
When dealing with the enemy, you have to kill it in one go!
Throwing knives with both hands, he turned a group of killers into hedgehogs!
The dagger pierced the eyes and sent chills down the spine.
Recreate the pencil killing stunt and kill three people in a row with a pencil.
Horseshoe killings are not only efficient, but also cool enough to have no friends.
Such a cool film, for the audience of Lao Mei, is like taking drugs, and it flutters to Elysium.
When the film ended and the subtitles flashed on the screen, the audience was so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and the applause was like the waves under a super hurricane, both violent and long-lasting!
This film may not be too evocative, but the viewing process and the period of time I just watched it will make people feel excited, what a cool word.
The main creative staff of the crew got up in the midst of crazy applause, and Martin hugged Chad first and said, "See? They love your movies! ”
Chad was happy and excited, but his head was not dizzy, and he said, "No, they love you!" ”
As the director and producer of the crew, after letting go of Martin, he hugged the other main creative staff one by one and thanked everyone loudly.
Martin beckoned everyone to the stage for a curtain call.
The main creator of the crew took three consecutive curtain calls, and the applause finally subsided.
The North American screening journey of "Fast and Furious 3" has just begun.
