Superstar

Chapter 53: Public appearance

   On Wednesday, March 18, both "Final Analysis" and "Instinct." both chose to premiere on this day, which was not very common in 1992. This is not the 21st century in which North American box office hits record highs. On average, only 20 movies are shown in North American theaters every week; and the North American box office of a film that can exceed the 100 million threshold is a huge success, and it is in the year-end box office rankings. There is no problem in the top ten. This is the beginning of the nineties when the film industry is booming and slowly rising.

Therefore, under such circumstances, a work with an investment of 25 million U.S. dollars and a work with an investment of 49 million U.S. dollars premiered at the same time. This really made the major theaters lively, especially This is still lack of excitement in the spring file, and it is even more rare.

Both "Instinct. Ability" and "Final Analysis" can be regarded as horror, suspenseful, ethical, and criminal works, and both are generally not favored in the preparation process, because the genre of thriller crime was "silent lamb" last year. (The. Silence. Of. The. Lambs)” reached its peak, and similar genre films have sprung up after the rain, but there has never been any one that can achieve outstanding results. Now there are two more works released. People still have reasons. Cast doubts.

   Therefore, the two films were scheduled to premiere in the same week when they were not favored. It can be regarded as a competition where the brave meets on a narrow road, and it is easy to focus people's attention to this week.

The so-called premiere is actually a part of the film’s publicity. During the premiere, the director and chief creator of the film will usually attend and interact with the audience. Media reporters can also interview the crew as soon as possible. . This is more like a concentrated propaganda and hawking occasion, I hope people can focus more on the film.

After the event, the first audience can enter the venue with tickets to watch the movie, but because the tickets for the premiere are limited, this is more like a trial screening for reporters, film critics, and loyal audiences. meeting. After the film is over, the critics and audience will write the first batch of film reviews to pre-heat the film's upcoming release; and the second batch of reviews will not be released until the film is officially released.

   Therefore, generally speaking, the film will be officially released on Friday to fight for the box office of the first week weekend, but the premiere will be held in advance to Tuesday or Wednesday. The premiere is tantamount to a publicity occasion for interacting with fans, dealing with the media, and probing audience feedback.

Of course, a grand premiere itself is also a gimmick, such as the world premiere of "Harry Potter (Harry Potter series and "The Lord Of The Rings (The. Lord Of The Rings series. Ceremony, which is a very important part of box office marketing, has deviated from the meaning of ordinary premieres, and is more like the first step of commercial methods.

The Fox Theater on Hollywood Boulevard is one of the most historic theaters in Los Angeles. The Fox Theater, established in 1928, can accommodate 5,000 spectators. Because this is the most elite, safest, and most fashionable area in Los Angeles, many Hollywood’s Movie premieres are all held here.

   Since this is not Hugo’s own movie, he does not need to deliberately postpone the show. The invitation letter that Paul Jonge-Witt handed Hugo had a premiere time, saying it was eight o’clock in the evening. As usual, eight o'clock should be the time for the premiere to kick off, so it is polite for the guests to arrive at the scene half an hour earlier, and in order not to collide with the protagonists, Hugo chose to go to the Fox Theater at a quarter past seven.

At this time, the sky in Los Angeles has not been completely dark, but the sunset only has a little tail burning in the sky. From a distance, Hugo can see the neon lights of the Fox Theater constantly flashing, and a dark blue canopy is built in front of the theater. Obviously to avoid accidents caused by heavy rain, the red carpet not only extends from the entrance of the theater, but also pave the streets on both sides for at least fifty yards, presenting a red "T" shape, just like It is a runway for the fitting catwalk.

The two sides of the red carpet are already occupied by the crowd. Roughly speaking, there are at least two hundred people on the scene. There are not only professional reporters and film critics, but also loyal fans who came to attend the premiere. The noisy scene is Hugo has never experienced it.

Of course, Hugo's ten years in the Glory to the Dead band has also experienced occasions with thousands of audiences, but that is different. He knows that there are four partners of his own fighting together on the stage, and the stability of his heart is incomparable; But today he will walk alone on the red carpet, facing the baptism of 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 everything was too chaotic and too vague that day, and Hugo didn't have much clear memory, so he couldn't help much.

  The black limousine rental car stopped at the entrance of the Fox Theater. Hugo took a deep breath and looked at Joseph, "Aren't you getting off the car with me?"

"If it is your work, I will 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 Eagle" was over, so He has never stepped on the red carpet for the premiere so far, so he is inevitably a little emotional.

   Listening to the commotion and cheers of fans outside, although these voices are not directed at Hugo, they still make people nervous involuntarily. Joseph looked at Hugo's nervous expression, but he became happy, "Good luck!" Joseph was also very curious. After the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo appeared in public for the first time, what will it be like? situation.

Seeing Joseph's expression, Hugo didn't have the energy to refute. He tidied up his clothes and asked Joseph to check for himself again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, Hugo didn't hesitate anymore, opened the car door and went on. .

   Since it is still early, there is still some time before the real climax of the premiere, so everyone knows that all the guests who are invited are here at this time. The so-called guests have all kinds of people, including some ordinary people, so people's expectations for inviting guests are not high, and they are absent-mindedly brewing the spirit for a real climax.

   When they saw someone coming down from the car, most people just subconsciously looked towards the street, and then they saw a handsome young man appear in front of them.

   The height of six feet blocked the last ray of sunlight in the sky behind him, and his upright and well-proportioned figure sculpted a perfect arc in the light and shadow, and a smoky gray suit clearly outlined the figure. The wool and mohair blended fabric is dark and elegant and restrained, which enhances the delicacy of the classic men's double-button suit to the extreme. With the silky dark satin fabric, the difference in light perception between different fabrics interprets simple fashion. The smooth shoulder line, the collarless suit, and the crisp right-angle hem, such a bold and colorful design minimize the weight and seriousness of the suit, but on the contrary, it maximizes the youthful and neat vigor.

  The black shirt and shiny leather shoes complement each other, cleverly transitioning from bright smoky gray to calm black, forming a visual difference but not too obvious. Finally, it is matched with a black unpatterned solid color tie. The extraordinary climax of the streamlined tailoring, every detail is clearly visible in the residual light of the setting sun, whether it is the exquisite agate button and small stand-up collar design on the shirt, or the casual feel of cufflink folds protruding from the slightly shorter cufflinks of the suit. Both create a distinct and modern image.

The handsome cheeks can clearly depict the lines of eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, and cast a soft shadow in the slowly sinking night, letting the soft lines of the facial features give birth to a warm glow. , A dark blond hair looked a little transparent against the light, and the hair wax grabbed the faint curly curvature of the hair, presenting a beautiful shape casually but in an orderly manner.

   There was a shallow arc on the side of the rosy lips, and the warmth of the eyes gleamed slowly in this arc, which instantly warmed people's hearts and brightened the night.

   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 warm, sunny, and casual temperament. The whole suit walked between solemnity and leisure, and the mix and match were just right. . This kind of dress seems to be similar to the suits of most male actors in the early 1990s, but it is somewhat different. On the whole, there is nothing special, but the effect of the ready-to-wear clothes on Hugo is so good that it makes people unable to close it at all. Own mouth.

The noise and carelessness on the red carpet seemed to be frozen by time at this moment. UU Reading www.uukānshu.com and Hugo’s amber eyes blended together, leaving the imprint of time, the last ray of sunlight in the sky. It disappeared completely on the ground, all the light around it disappeared, and the night poured out in an instant, but stopped above the bright light of the Fox Theater. Hugo, standing at the end of the red carpet, just like this. The surrounding light blends perfectly.

"Hugo!" I don't know who was the first to speak, and this awakened people's attention. Everyone immediately realized that the person in front of them was not an ordinary person, but a real guest artist, and he was quite recognizable. Hugo of knowledge.

At this moment, there was a low commotion at the scene, no one shouted, because at this time Hugo is not a very popular actor, just has a topical familiar face, but the shouts of "Hugo" are zero. It was scattered around, and the low voice of discussion was endless.

   "Wow, this is really a handsome guy."

   "He made me lose my language, do you remember what movies he appeared in? I want to see it."

   "He was not so good in the'Death Poetry Society'. That young and young guy is also invincible now."

   "My heartbeat was about to jump out just now, do you see his eyes? It's really touching!"

This kind of repressive and excited conversation filled the ears of the crowd, but at the entrance of the red carpet, a horrifying voice came, "I am a man, I don’t have a cold with Hugo..." suddenly the surrounding voices There was a pause for a second, and then I heard a contemptuous sound of "cut" from about six or seven people in unison, which was very comical.
