Chapter 453: "Interstellar" Premiere (2)
The Los Angeles Chinese Theatre, located on Hollywood Avenue, was founded in 1927 and is named after the exterior of the Chinese-style building, with a bronze roof that rises into the sky, and the interior of the theater is also designed with the concept of Chinese art.
On the concrete floor of the courtyard in front of the theater, there are handprints and footprints of different sizes, which is the most famous landscape of Hollywood - the Star Courtyard.
At just 193 square feet, this small courtyard has been home to 238 famous film actors from different periods and styles
In the theater, there were originally 2,258 seats, but after many changes in the internal layout, the use of new equipment and new technologies, the latest structure now has only 1,400 seats.
But for "Interstellar", so many seats are enough for a grand premiere.
More than 200 specially invited guests, more than 200 influential film critics invited from all over the world, plus media reporters from Little 300 (who took away electronic devices), and two or three hundred main creators of the crew, basically filled the huge theater.
At this moment, Wu Yuan was standing under the huge wall on the left side of the Huaxia Theater, looking up at the pictures hanging on the wall.
Not only are there many large-scale photos of the world's top performing arts stars, but the first one is a still of a Peking Opera actor dressed in traditional Chinese costumes.
This person Wu Yuan still knows.
When I visited North America in 1930, I performed here and caused a sensation in the Chinese Republic of China.
"Director, everyone is seated, and the premiere can begin." A staff member stepped forward and interrupted Wu Yuan's observation of his seniors.
Retracting his gaze, Wu Yuan nodded and walked quickly to the front desk.
This year, the Huaxia Theater has undergone another renovation, replaced with the latest IMAX giant screen, and added 3D projectors.
Standing under the IMAX giant screen, Wu Yuan raised his head and beckoned, and the creators of "Interstellar" followed him to the front of the stage, facing all the guests and friends who came to attend the premiere.
Wu Yuan smiled, holding the microphone in one hand and waving the other hand to greet everyone: "Distinguished guests, friends, media reporters, good afternoon." ”
"Welcome to the world premiere of Interstellar."
"Are you ready for an IMAX 3D sci-fi ride?"
Wu Yuan has always disliked complaining about miserable sales at the premiere, although "Interstellar" is indeed the most tiring, hardest, and most complicated movie he has made over the years, surpassing "Gravity".
But he still chooses to ignore all the difficulties behind them.
can make you spend 200 million dollars to make a movie, what is there to be dissatisfied with and complain about?
If you don't do it, some people are rushing to do it!
So he just thanked Anne Hathaway, Mads Mikkelsen and other leading actors for joining in, and praised their wonderful performances in the movie.
Especially Mads Mikkelsen, because he is the least famous, so Wu Yuan praised him emphatically, and also said that it was not easy for him, which caused Mads Mikkelsen to wave his hand again and again on the stage, very embarrassed.
"All in all, I know that many media friends, from the start of "Interstellar" to today, have been talking about Mads Mikkelsen becoming the leading actor, and there are endless voices of doubt and deflated."
"But please believe me, Mads is a very good actor and the most suitable actor for Interstellar, and I believe that after today, your doubts will never appear again."
"And Mads Mikkelsen will also become a sensational actor around the world."
The smile on Wu Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he thought with a bad taste in his heart, if Mads Mikkelsen became a big hit with "Interstellar", would he still have a chance to participate in "Hunting"?
I'm afraid that the small Danish crew of "Hunting" can't afford to invite Mads Mikkelsen, right?
Life is such a wonderful thing, Mads Mikkelsen has reaped the benefits of Interstellar and may also lose the honor of Hunting.
If Mads Mikkelsen knew about it, I don't know what he would choose.
After Wu Yuan's brief speech, Anne Hathaway, Liu Yifei, and Mads Mikkelsen also talked about their premiere feelings one after another.
The sedan chair is carried by everyone.
Wu Yuan did not hesitate to praise them, and did not mention the difficulties and difficulties in filming "Interstellar".
When it comes to Anne Hathaway, of course, they praise Wu Yuan for his high directing level, how dedicated he is in the crew, how conscientious and responsible, the first to arrive on the set every day, the last to leave, and stay up late at night to watch the material......
The premiere is a process in which colleagues in the crew praise each other, tell each other how difficult it is for each other to make this movie, and hope that everyone will support it.
The guests and friends at the scene have also participated in the premieres of countless movies, and they are clear about this set of doors and skillfully laugh at the "performance" of the crew of "Interstellar".
Fortunately, the speech session did not take long, and ten minutes later, when everyone made some speeches, Wu Yuan took back the microphone again.
"Then, I won't say anything else."
"Let's enjoy this movie, which took a year and a half to make!"
The lights in the Huaxia Theater dimmed immediately after Wu Yuan's words fell.
Taking advantage of the gap of more than ten seconds when the projector was turned on, Wu Yuan led the crew and the creators and hurried back to the seats in the first row.
As soon as he sat down, James Cameron, who was sitting in the center of the second row behind Wu Yuan, came up and whispered next to Wu Yuan: "Daniel, congratulations." ”
"Thank you." Wu Yuan nodded reservedly: "I hope you can like this movie." ”
"I think, yes." Cameron said with a smile.
An IMAX 3D movie in the true sense of the word, made by Wu Yuan, a person who has proven himself in the field of commercial science fiction films.
There's no reason Cameron would think it's going to be a bad movie.
"W-oh-oh-"
Just a few words of conversation between the two, the super-large IMAX 3D giant screen has been lit up, and the logos of Light Age, Paramount, and Universal Pictures have appeared on the screen one after another, and then disappeared again.
All the guests and audience sitting at the scene picked up the 3D glasses issued by the staff when they entered the venue just now and put them on solemnly.
Although this is the second IMAX 3D movie, everyone is already familiar with how to watch 3D movies.
A close-up view of a bookshelf slowly appeared on the big screen.
Among the stacks of books on the shelves is a somewhat old and mottled model of a spaceship.
Because the camera is gradually obliquely closer, the audience wearing 3D glasses suddenly has a feeling that a three-dimensional spaceship is slowly approaching them.
“INTERSTELLAR”
(Interstellar)
The title of the movie lights up and disappears.
A blonde, blue-eyed, old-looking grandmother appears on the screen and begins to tell the story of her father...... (End of chapter)
