Wednesday, March 18, "Final Analysis" and "Ben." Can" both chose this day for the premiere, which was not too common in 1992. It's not the 21st century when the North American box office hits record highs, with an average of only 20 movies being released in North American theaters every week; And a movie's North American box office can break the 100 million threshold is a huge success, and there is no problem in ranking in the top 10 on the year-end box office list. This was the early nineties, when the film industry was booming, slowly rising.

Therefore, in such a situation, a work with an investment of 25 million US dollars and a work with an investment of 49 million US dollars premiered at the same time, which really made all major theaters lively, especially this is still a spring file that lacks excitement, which is more and more rare.

"Ben. "Can" and "Final Analysis" can be regarded as thriller, suspense, ethics, and crime genre works, and both are generally not favored in the preparation process, because the thriller crime genre film was launched in the "Silence of the Lambs" last year. silence。 of。 the。 lambs)" reached its peak, and after that, similar genre films sprung up, but none of them did well, and now that two more works have been released, people still have reason to cast doubts.

Therefore, the premiere of these two films in the same week was arranged without being favored, which can be regarded as a competition for the brave to win in a narrow way, and easily focused people's attention on this week.

The so-called premiere is actually part of the film promotion, in the premiere, the director and main creative staff of the film will generally attend, and will also interact with the audience, and media reporters can also interview the crew for the first time. It's more of a concentrated propaganda occasion in the hope that people will focus more on the film.

After the event, the first audience will be able to enter and watch the film with their tickets, but since tickets for the premiere are limited, it will be more like a preview screening, a preview for journalists, critics, and loyal audiences. After the film is shown, critics and audiences will write the first batch of film reviews to warm up the film's upcoming release; And the second batch of reviews will not come out until the official release of the movie.

So, in general, the official release of the film is held on Friday to fight for the box office of the first weekend, but the premiere will be brought forward to Tuesday or Wednesday. The premiere is a promotional occasion that shoulders a variety of tasks such as interacting with fans, dealing with the media, and testing audience feedback.

Of course, a grand premiere is a gimmick in itself, such as "Harry Potter (Harry. potter)" series, "the. lord。 of。 the。 The simultaneous world premiere of the rings" series, which is a very important part of box office marketing, has moved away from the meaning of ordinary premieres and is more like the first step of commercial means.

Built in 1928, the Fox Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard is one of the most historic theaters in Los Angeles, with a capacity of 5,000 spectators, and many Hollywood movie premieres are held here because it is one of the most exciting, safest, and trendiest areas in Los Angeles.

Since this is not Hugo's own film, there is no need for him to deliberately postpone the appearance, and the invitation handed to Hugo by Paul Jonge Witte has the time of the premiere, saying that it is eight o'clock in the evening. According to convention, eight o'clock should be the time when the premiere kicks off, so it is polite for the guests to arrive at the scene half an hour early, and in order not to collide with the leading actors, Hugo chose to go to the Fox Theater at a quarter past seven.

At this time, the sky in Los Angeles was not completely dark, but the sunset was only a little tail burning in the sky, and Hugo could see the neon lights of the Fox Theater in the distance, and a dark blue ceiling was built at the entrance of the theater, apparently to avoid the sudden occurrence of heavy rain, and the red carpet not only extended from the entrance of the theater, but also paved the streets on both sides for at least fifty yards, showing a red "T" shape, as if it were a runway for a fitting catwalk.

The red carpet was already filled with crowds, and at a rough count there were at least 200 people present, not only professional journalists and film critics, but also loyal fans who had made the trip to attend the premiere, a scene that Hugo had never experienced before.

Of course, Hugo's ten years in the band of Glory to Death have also experienced occasions with more than 1,000 audiences, but that is different, he knows that there are still his four partners on the stage to fight together, and the stability of his heart is incomparable; And today he will walk on the red carpet alone, facing the eyes of reporters and fans in the film circle, which reminds Hugo of the night of the Golden Raspberry Awards. It's just that that day was too chaotic and vague, and Hugo didn't have too many clear memories, so he couldn't help much.

The rented black limousine stopped at the door of the Fox Theater, and Hugo took a deep breath and looked at Joseph, "Aren't you going to get off with me?" ”

"If it was your work, I would go down with you, but today you are also a guest...... Joseph said with a smile, when he took over Hugo, the premiere of "Hudson's Eagle" had already ended, so he had never stepped on the red carpet of the premiere so far, so it was inevitable that his heart was a little surging.

Listening to the cheers of the fans outside, although these voices were not directed at Hugo, they still made people nervous involuntarily. Joseph looked at Hugo's nervous expression, but instead became happy, "Good luck!" Joseph was also very curious about what it would be like for Hugo to appear in public for the first time after the Golden Raspberry Award.

Seeing Joseph's expression, Hugo didn't have the energy to refute, he tidied up his clothes, and asked Joseph to check himself again, after confirming that there was no mistake, Hugo didn't hesitate, just opened the car door and walked down.

Since it was still early at this time, there was still some time before the real climax of the premiere, so everyone knew that the guests who appeared at this time were invited over. There are all kinds of so-called guests, including some ordinary people, so people's expectations for the invited guests are not high, and they are absentmindedly brewing for a real climax.

When they saw someone coming down from the limousine, most of them just subconsciously looked in the direction of the street, and then they saw a personable young man appear in front of them.

Six-foot-tall blocks the last rays of sunlight in the sky, and the tall and well-proportioned figure sculpts a perfect arc in the light and shadow, and a smoky gray suit clearly outlines the figure. The wool and mohair blended fabric, dark and introverted, elevates the delicacy of the classic men's double-button suit to the extreme, and is matched with mercerized dark satin fabric, interpreting simple fashion with the difference in light between different fabrics. With a smooth shoulder line, a collarless suit, and a crisp right-angled hem, such a bold and brilliant design minimizes the heaviness and rigor of the suit, but instead magnifies the youthful and neat vigor to the greatest extent.

A black shirt is complemented by shiny leather shoes, subtly transitioning from a bright samoque gray to a calm black, creating a visual difference that is not too noticeable, and is finished with a black unpatterned solid tie. The streamlined cut of the extraordinary climax, every detail is clearly visible in the residual light of the fiery red of the setting sun, whether it is the delicate onyx buttons and small stand collar design on the shirt, or the casual feeling of the cufflink pleats protruding from the slightly shorter cufflinks of the suit, all of which create a distinctly modern image.

The handsome cheeks can clearly depict the lines of the eyebrows, eyes, nose and lip flaps, casting a soft shadow in the slowly sinking night, so that the soft lines of the facial features give birth to a warm light, a dark blonde hair actually looks a little transparent under the light, and the hair wax grabs out the faint curl of the hair, showing a beautiful shape in a random but orderly manner.

A shallow arc was revealed on the edge of the ruddy lip flap, and the flickering warmth under the eyes slowly rippled in this arc, which warmed people's hearts and brightened the night in an instant.

Hugo Lancaster!

At this moment, almost everyone was stunned by the handsomeness of the young man in front of them, the low-key, elegant, and concise concept collided with the warm, sunny, and casual temperament. This kind of dress seems to be similar to the suits of most male actors in the early 90s, but it is a little different, and there is nothing special on the whole, but the effect of the ready-to-wear on Hugo is amazingly good, so that people can't keep their mouths shut at all.

The noise and carelessness on the red carpet seemed to be frozen by time at this moment, blending with Hugo's amber eyes, leaving the imprint of time, the last ray of sunlight in the sky suddenly disappeared completely on the ground level, all the light around disappeared, and the night poured down in an instant, but stopped above the bright lights of the Fox Theater, and Hugo, who stood at the end of the red carpet, perfectly blended with the light around him.

"Hugo!" I don't know who was the first to shout, which woke people's attention, and everyone immediately realized that the person in front of them was not an ordinary person, but a real artist guest, and he was also a well-known Hugo.

At this moment, the scene immediately became a low commotion, and no one shouted loudly, because Hugo was not a popular actor at this time, but just a familiar face with a topic, but the shouts of "Hugo" were scattered around, and the low voices of discussion were endless.

"Wow, this is really a handsome guy."

"He made me lose my language, do you remember what movies he starred in? I want to check it out. ”

"He wasn't so good in the 'Dead Poets Society', and that young guy is now invincible."

"My heart was about to jump out just now, did you see his eyes, it's really moving!"

Such a conversation full of suppressed excitement filled the ears of the crowd at the scene, but at the entrance of the red carpet, there was a scenical voice, "I am a man, I am not interested in Hugo......" suddenly made the surrounding voices pause for a second, and then about six or seven people were heard in unison with a "cut" disdainful voice, which was very comedic.
