In April, Los Angeles is filled with a warm spring mood, with street pedestrians displaying flowers, some wearing short-sleeved shorts, stepping on skateboards, and feeling the joy and lightness of the sea breeze blowing their hair; Some wore plush coats and scarves in their hands for emergencies; Others wear T-shirts and jumpers to enjoy this short spring in California.

Burbank is a bustling affair today, and although it is said that it is crowded with people all year round because of the many studios and film companies, it is different today. The main road outside the main entrance to the studio was overcrowded, and the crowds on both sides almost filled the on-ramp, making it seem like a celebration to welcome Martin Luther King, Jr.

If it's just a lot of people, it's no different for Burbank, there will be a few special situations like this every year, but the strange thing is that these people are not blocking a specific studio, obviously not for a crew or a certain star, they have no intention of entering the studio shooting area at all, all of them are blocked on the main road outside, and the scene makes the staff who came over in the prop car tremble, and they thought that something had happened to the studio.

A rough look, there are at least more than 500 people on the scene, of which there should be nearly 200 reporters alone, such a battle is indeed rare, even when "Terminator 2" became the first work in film history to invest more than 100 million, Burbank was invaded by 300 people. So, what's going on today?

Nicholas McLaen stood bored in the crowd, he didn't deliberately crowd, and the location was not the best, because he knew that there were so many people gathered today, in fact, it was the same from any angle, and there would be no special exclusive revelations. The target of his visit was not the back of some cars on the main road, but the interview that entered the filming site after the target arrived at the scene.

Therefore, Nicholas was not in a hurry at all at this time.

James Rattle, who was standing next to him, raised his voice and said, "Hey, I see Bond." Since both of them regularly interviewed Hugo, they became good friends despite being rivals, one from the Los Angeles Times and the other from the American Weekly. Peers are enemies, but on the other hand, only peers can understand their persistence and their struggle.

Nicholas followed James's line of sight and saw Anthony Bond Stewart cautiously looking around about the situation, not surprised at all, still chewing gum, "It's strange that he doesn't show up, just see if he will continue to show up for a while." Nicholas looked around, "Did you see the reporter from the Post?" ”

There are many postal newspapers in the United States, "The Washington Post", "The New York Post", "The Globe and Mail", "The Seattle Post", "The Denver Post", etc., but the small talk between them has always referred to the "New York Post".

James squinted at Nicholas, "Did you say they might not come?" I saw it just now, there are four, and that's just the part I saw, who knows if there's anything else there's going on. ”

"Interviews don't rely on more people to win." Nicholas was chewing gum nonchalantly, and when he was talking, a burst of strength surged over him, and a person next to him did not stand firmly, and directly bumped into Nicholas, almost falling. The friend next to the man tried to pull him, but after all, he couldn't react, and the thrust from the right side was too great, and he was already too busy to take care of himself, where would he have time to take care of his companion.

Nicholas and James are veterans of this kind of situation, and their standing posture is originally upright, and the center of gravity usually does not shift. So Nicholas took it and helped the man to avoid the wolf who fell, and even more so the danger of being stepped on by the crowd after swarming.

The man stood up and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I mean, thank you, thank you, I'm sorry for what happened......"

Nicholas raised his hand and waved it slightly, indicating that it was okay, it was just a gesture, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

James glanced at it, the two people next to him looked too small, their height was directly submerged by the surrounding crowd, they couldn't see anything, their faces were so green that they didn't even grow a beard, he guaranteed that these two were definitely children, and they were estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

Nicholas seemed to notice James' gaze and whispered, "I guess it's a movie fan." ”

James nodded his chin approvingly, withdrew his gaze, and did not pay attention to the two men anymore, but changed the subject, "I remember that there was a paparazzi who had been closely following Hugo, why haven't you seen it recently?" Did you see him today? ”

"You say Scarter?" Dawes, who aspires to become the heir of Ron Clara, is also well-known in the paparazzi circle, especially after becoming Hugo's unshaken tail for more than half a year, and his fame has soared, and Nicholas naturally knows it, "It seems that after Bond challenged Mr. Lancaster last time he was unsuccessful, he disappeared, I heard last time that he seems to have other clues, and he is probably secretly investigating." ”

Journalists, who knew Hugo well, were accustomed to calling Adam "Mr. Lancaster" as a sign of respect.

Before Nicholas finished speaking, the scene began to stir, and the screams on the side close to the main road were already scattered and scattered, Nicholas and James immediately entered a state of readiness, and the two of them raised their cameras almost in no order, aimed high at the main road, and then listened carefully to the sound of the engine, and when they noticed that they were approaching, the shutter was immediately pressed.

After the car passed, Nicholas didn't look back, so he said, "Cruise." James immediately understood that it should be the "Mission Impossible" crew to enter Burbank now.

The scene immediately boiled, like boiling water, the crowd crowded in front and back, and the crowd that had been obediently staying on the pedestrian ramp began to invade the road where the vehicles were driving, and the whole team was chaotic almost in the blink of an eye, and the crowd frantically surrounded the vehicles, which forced the cars to slow down and move forward in the crowd in the posture of a snail, not like the engine was starting, but like the crowd was pushing the vehicle forward.

In the midst of such a chaotic situation, Nicholas and James did not pay attention to each other anymore and focused on their work.

The reason why Burbank is so lively today is because this is the only day when the crew of "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins" appeared together in Burbank.

"Mission Impossible" had already started filming five days earlier, and the $80 million production showed Paramount's absolute confidence that they would only shoot in studio for the first week, then travel to the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic to shoot major parts of the film, and finally return to Chicago to shoot the rest of the scenes.

Rich and confident. This is the impression that "Mission Impossible" gives everyone, today is the last day of the crew in Burbank, and tomorrow the cast will be the first to leave for London, leaving the crew here to finish.

Unlike "Mission Impossible", the "Seven Deadly Sins", which cost only $30 million, as the "New York Post" said, is a work by New Line Film Company to ask for directions, and it seems cautious at every point.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" did not arrange a grand opening ceremony -- you must know that the opening ceremony of "Mission Impossible" invited more than 200 reporters from 90 media outlets to arrive at the scene, which can be said to be the largest in recent years for Paramount. Of course, very few of these 90 media outlets require Paramount to spend PR money, and most of them are willing to attend. The boiling actor selection problem in the past month has almost pushed "Mission Impossible" to its peak.

The opening ceremony of the "Seven Deadly Sins" will be held today, but the new line film company only invited fifteen media to attend, which is not too little but not too much, and it is decent. According to the schedule of the opening ceremony announced by New Line Films, the press conference will be held at 10 o'clock, followed by two scenes in the afternoon, and 30 minutes of media interviews will be opened.

However, although "The Seven Deadly Sins" is not as popular as "Mission Impossible", it is also Hugo's new work after all, and it also involves the showdown between Hugo and Brad, and there are still many media uninvited. Many people are curious about what the crew will look like after the film is turned on.

Especially when many media discovered that the "Mission Impossible" crew and the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew would appear in Burbank at the same time today, everyone was immediately fried. There are a group of reporters who interview "Mission Impossible", a group of reporters who interview "Seven Deadly Sins", and another group of reporters who want to see Tom, Hugo, and Brad fight, so there is a rare scene at the scene, plus the fans who came to visit, Burbank was crowded.

Unintentionally, the opening ceremony of the "Seven Deadly Sins" made a grand debut.

In fact, in the view of New Line Film Company, "Seven Deadly Sins" needs to move forward in a low-key manner, because this work is completely different from "Mission Impossible" in terms of theme and style, and the publicity strategy is naturally different. But people are not as good as heaven, involving the three top and most popular handsome guys in Hollywood today, and the sesame trivial thing has become news, not to mention the big event where the three come together.

New Line Film Company could have rescheduled, but after thinking about it carefully, it finally gave up, and regarded it as a free pre-promotion for the movie.

More than 500 people surrounded Tom Cruise's car, and at this moment, I don't know who was shouting from behind, "Hugo, Hugo!" Originally, there were only one or two voices, but they soon became one, and the whole main road presented a strange situation:

The crowd that stopped the front of Tom's car did not disperse, but the crowd behind the car gradually dispersed, and then the car behind gradually approached, and the crowd gradually moved closer, and as a result, both cars were surrounded in the center. It looks like two isolated islands surrounded by seawater.

Well, tomorrow the news will be an ironclad sensation!
