Chapter 901: The Premiere of "E.T."
Friday, June 19th.
Today's United States, it can be said that all the attention of the entertainment industry is attracted by a movie.
That is the "." released by Universal Pictures, written by genius screenwriter Yin Jun, and directed by the great director Spielberg, which is released today.
Not only did many Hollywood stars come to cheer, but even the giants of many Hollywood studios came.
Naturally, the reporters were in Great Carrier, and cameras and voice recorders were busy.
What surprised them the most was that Tang Shuxuan, the president of the North American branch of Kirin Group, actually came.
Now many rumors in Hollywood are spreading very strongly.
Including the real and confirmed fact that "Superman 2" is going to kill "Speed of Life and Death", as well as the fact that several movie giants want to suppress Disney and United Arts Films, and United Arts Films actually hired an unknown producer to make a movie, another person who turned to Hollywood as a truck driver was also entrusted with a heavy task to make movies, and there is also news that Tang Shuxuan is actually making a TV series by himself......
With so many rumors and gimmicks, as soon as Tang Shuxuan arrived at the scene, he was besieged.
"President Tang, may I ask you, about the schedule of "Speed of Life and Death", is there any meaning of changing gears? For the classic sequel of "Superman 2", Mr. Yin Jun, who is far away in Xiangjiang, is really so confident in "Speed of Life and Death"?"
"How can a movie starring almost Xiangjiang people achieve good results in North America, and how is it worth spending so many resources to support it? President Tang, can you talk about why?"
"I heard you're directing a TV series yourself, what kind of content is that, will it be on Disney TV?"
"Ms. Tang, why did you suddenly appoint the young man named Bruckheimer to make the film?
"I heard that James Cameron, who was still working as an assistant to other directors last year, actually got a budget of more than 30 million US dollars, Mr. Yin Jun and you, are you really desperate?"
“……”
In the midst of the swarm of reporters, under the protection of the staff, Tang Shuxuan walked very calmly, with a smile on his face, but he just didn't answer the questions.
When she crossed the group of reporters and walked into the field, the surroundings relaxed down.
Spielberg, who was talking to others, looked around after being reminded by his assistant, and walked quickly to Tang Shuxuan's side.
"Miss Tang, thank you for coming, and thank you and Jun for your great support. Spielberg held Tang Shuxuan's hand and lowered his voice a little, "I'm very sorry for what happened recently, but please forgive me for not being able to do anything." ”
Spielberg is also a director who started from the bottom, but his luck is good and his strength is very outstanding, so a "Jaws" brought him into the ranks of super-first-class directors.
coupled with last year's "Raiders of the Lost Ark", it stabilized his position as a super-first-class director in Hollywood.
But this does not mean that he is an outsider who does not know the world, and he sees all the intrigues in Hollywood, but these things have not happened to him, so he can only pretend not to see them.
In this society, in Hollywood, you want to make everybody as holy as the Virgin Mary, that's a joke.
It's already a great thing to be able to guarantee a little innocence around you.
So Spielberg also knows about the conspiracy of several companies to suppress the Kirin Group, but he is a director, what can he do to help? He can only secretly call Yin Jun morally and encourage him, and this is all he can do.
But Spielberg didn't expect that when "." was released this time, in early June, United Arts Film Company and Disney Company added a lot of movie theater co-screenings to his "." through their own distribution networks, so that the number of co-screening theaters of "." exceeded 2,000 unprecedentedly, reaching more than 2,300, and the number of screens also reached more than 4,700.
Although Yin Jun has too much interest in ".", Spielberg knows that if the Kirin Group does this, it should be Universal Pictures and him who will get more benefits.
Yin Jun did this, which was a bit of a disregard for his previous suspicions, and he was also a good friend, proving that he valued Spielberg more.
Tang Shuxuan smiled slightly when he saw this: "Steven, you don't have to worry too much, these things have nothing to do with you." Ah Jun said that your only task is to keep making good-looking and meaningful movies, and this is your contribution to the whole of mankind! These intrigues have nothing to do with you. ”
"That's the way it is......" Spielberg mused, "Are you really sure you'll face Superman 2?"
"Whether we are sure or not, we can't afford to back down at this time!" Tang Shuxuan also smiled, "But don't worry, I believe in Ah Jun more than you, he will definitely be able to create a miracle...... In a few days, you will also come to participate in the trial film and take a look?"
"Good!"
Spielberg readily agreed.
In this regard, he doesn't care about Universal's thoughts.
Besides, in Hollywood, business is business, and favors are favors, and Universal Pictures may send people to it, so why do you care if Spielberg goes or not?
……
Watching the two of them chatting over there, George Harding sneered, "It seems that this woman is still not giving up, is she trying to hook up with your Spielberg to save United Arts Film Company?"
Sam Karlov's heart jumped, but his face didn't care: "Steven's ability is outstanding, and it's normal for those people to want him to make movies." It's a pity that no one's conditions will be better than Universal Pictures, so he will definitely stay with us. ”
"Don't be careless. Michael Eisner said: "Now I think Yin Jun is indeed an opponent to be taken seriously. The 'Great Split' advertisement is really powerful, not only creating a classic for Mercedes-Benz, but also greatly pushing out the young man named Fei Xiang, and popularizing the "Speed of Life and Death" that has not yet been released. ”
"That's why I'm asking you to add more movie theaters and more publicity for me. George Harding's face was not very good-looking.
Today happens to be a month before the "Great Split" advertisement was broadcast, but Mercedes-Benz seems to be crazy, and now it is still promoting and broadcasting this advertisement on a large scale, and it has no intention of stopping.
Although I know that you have doubled your momentum by relying on this advertisement, and have directly become the world's No. 1 automobile company, your fame is bursting, and car sales have increased significantly, but such an exaggerated advertisement, is it really not worth money as an advertisement?
If you broadcast an advertisement one more time, you will be playing a free advertisement for "Life and Death"!
"Don't worry, like I said, the quality of the film is everything. Rosenbrandt said, "By the way, in two days' "Speed of Life and Death" test film meeting, do you decide to send someone to go, or go directly?"
"Will they give us an invitation?" Matthew Cody laughed, "Don't dream, just let the theater manager go, they are much more professional than us, and they will definitely be able to tell." In fact, I'm not worried, because its quality is 70 points at most, and "Superman 2" is at least an 85 point work, and neither of them is on the same level. ”
George Harding nodded slightly, "I expect that to be the case too." ”
"But speaking of which, don't you think we should pay more attention to the other two films prepared by the Kirin Group?" Alain Ryder interjected: "I know and know this young man Bruckheimer. He was a very talented young man. If he puts his heart into making a movie, and it is a script written by Yin Jun, it will definitely not be bad at the box office. ”
"He has also made our company's films, and according to the people below, he is just an echo worm, and he is very respectful to the director. Can such a person not have enough character to stand out in Hollywood?" Rosenbrandt answered, "And I also inquired, this time the leading actor is the black ghost who played in "Police School" and "Speed of Life and Death", and the heroine is a Chinese...... Hehe, Yin Jun's combination is also wonderful. ”
George Harding listened with it very much, "Yes, it's like "Life and Death", if he was filming in the United States and using American actors, then I would be even more nervous." But now it seems that he purely needs to have them Chinese in every movie, which is very different from the aesthetics of our North American audiences, and it is normal for the box office to decline. ”
"Yes, this is where Yin Jun is very stubborn and very puzzling. "You say he doesn't pay attention to the North American market, and he has invested so much in filming and publicity." But you said he paid attention to it, but he didn't invite a popular star, it's really strange!"
Michael Eisner suddenly laughed at this time: "You guys talk about this, I remember, where are people not using popular stars? It's the second movie that Ryder just said, except that the director is a former truck driver, and the actor seems to be the super bodybuilding champion, Arnold Schwarzenegger from Austria." This is a big star that women all over the United States love!"
"Haha......"
The giants present laughed out loud.
Schwarzenegger's experience in Hollywood over the years, they have all heard of it, in their opinion, this man with facial paralysis who is only big and full of muscles is the most suitable for his bodybuilding career, and the movie performance is too out of tune with him.
If he hadn't found the little princess of the Kenny Dee family in the past two years, the producers of the Big Seven, he would definitely not have given him any role.
But Schwarzenegger wasted all the roles given to him without exception, which made people laugh and cry.
Such a movie idiot, starring in a movie?
Yin Jun is really crazy!
