Chapter 356 Premiere Carnival
"What? You said Orlando Bloom was hit by a car? Is it serious?" Little Gilbert was immediately concerned about Orlando Bloom's injuries.
"It's okay," the assistant Anna Hui reported: "It's just a scratch on the skin, but his assistant is in a terrible condition. Her leg was crushed and broken."
"God, Orlando is so lucky." Little Gilbert sighed.
The Elf Prince is lame. It's okay to be cured, but if he can't be cured, Hollywood doesn't need a lame Elf Prince.
But even more fortunately, Orlando Bloom was only scratched, but the assistant was unlucky.
Little Gilbert frowned and said, "Isn't it a little hasty to have a car accident at this time? You know, the premiere of "The Return of the King" is about to happen."
"It was indeed not an accident," Anna said the facts she knew: "I called Chief James, and now the perpetrator of the car accident has been caught.
According to the perpetrator's confession, he did it on purpose. "
"On purpose? Why?" Little Gilbert was puzzled. Did Orlando Bloom offend someone?
Anna explained: “I heard that Orlando Bloom recently met a Victoria’s Secret model from Australia named Miranda Kerr.
This Miranda Kerr is the girlfriend of the perpetrator, and she is very dissatisfied because Orlando Bloom was the third party.
He impulsively wanted to kill Orlando Bloom..."
"???" Little Gilbert was quite speechless. This kind of jealousy is very common in Hollywood.
A few days ago, little Gilbert heard from Leo that Brad Pitt and David Schwimmer had a fight over Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt was beaten violently.
I didn't notice it, but David Schwimmer looks smaller than Brad Pitt, but he fights very fiercely.
Brad Pitt couldn't beat him and was embarrassed.
The fact that Brad Pitt was beaten was still being hyped in the tabloids. As a result, Orlando Bloom was almost hit by a car because a third party intervened.
Worried Brad Pitt has Orlando Bloom to thank for the fact that the tabloids are now attracted to the car accident.
Little Gilbert also had a headache. It was actually very common to be jealous, but the problem was that he had been in a car accident.
If the perpetrator had hit it right, maybe "The Return of the King" would have become Orlando Bloom's legacy.
Although Orlando Bloom is not dead now, the situation is still not getting better, because the direction of public opinion is not biased towards the victims of the car accident, but towards the perpetrators.
The reason is simple. In the media's rendering, Orlando Bloom is the third party involved.
No matter what happens in private, at least in public society, the intervention of a third party is not tolerated by mainstream society.
There is no legal sanction, but moral criticism is certainly inevitable.
The perpetrator was also very smart. After being released on bail by a lawyer, he actively admitted his mistake, which aroused public sympathy.
Many netizens also commented in favor of him, saying that although his methods were a bit extreme, he was still a pure man.
On the contrary, Orlando Bloom, although a victim, suffered more criticism.
This is not the key. The most important thing is that Orlando Bloom's bad reputation has affected the crew.
Some people on the Internet are already saying: "You can see from Orlando Bloom what kind of people are in "The Return of the King". Look at little Gilbert, four or five rumored girlfriends..."
Although such remarks are not fatal, they have affected some people's movie-watching choices to a certain extent.
This matter is worthy of scrutiny. Little Gilbert does not believe it if there is no driving force behind it.
Faced with this kind of thing, the public relations team doesn't have a good strategy.
Orlando Bloom then made a public appearance with Miranda Kerr, then took the poor assistant with her broken leg in an attempt to salvage some image points.
Orlando Bloom's lawyer said he may choose to prosecute the perpetrators or settle privately.
No matter what happened, the bad impact has already been caused.
Little Gilbert has achieved great success along the way, and naturally also made many people dissatisfied.
They may not take the initiative to do anything, but they will not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Orlando Bloom's jealous car accident is one of them.
Despite this incident, the huge momentum of "The Return of the King" has not been affected at all, and all films in early May have stayed away.
However, this is not the end yet, because in "The Two Towers", Princess Eowen of Rohan once suspected that Aragorn and Legolas were the same.
So after the Orlando Bloom car accident, several fan articles about the Emperor of Man and the Elf Prince appeared on the Internet, which were very H-shaped.
These days are not like later. Although we dare not openly discriminate against homosexuals, it will at least arouse some people's resentment and affect their movie-watching choices.
"Obviously, someone is targeting us." Little Gilbert asked the public relations manager: "Marco, what solution do you have?"
Marco looked at Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom and said: "Starting from tomorrow, each of you will bring a close female companion.
I will arrange for the gossip media to follow and take photos, preferably some intimate actions. "
The two actors worked very well together, and the next day they went out with their female companions.
Then the gossip website took pictures of them kissing their respective female partners, which somewhat dispelled some rumors of the same relationship. These are just minor troubles, and they did not cause greater trouble for "The Return of the King." The film kicked off its premiere with great fanfare.
On Thursday, May 2, 2002, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" premiered at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.
On the day of the premiere, after two years of word-of-mouth accumulation for "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers", plus the final chapter of the series, the fanaticism of the movie fans was well released.
According to statistics, 150,000 movie fans from all over the world gathered in Los Angeles that day to attend the premiere in the form of a parade and carnival.
In order to catch a glimpse of the stars, many movie fans lined up with tents two or three days early in order to get a good position.
Although the premiere started in the afternoon, at 8:30 in the morning, movie fans packed the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Chinese Theater.
These movie fans dress up in different styles. It’s May in Los Angeles and the weather has started to get hotter.
But these movie fans wear wizard hats, wizard robes, cloaks, armor, elf gauze skirts, etc. He held various weapons and props such as staffs, bows and arrows, swords, etc. in his hands.
There are even people who cosplay as half-orcs to show that they are different.
If one ignored the surrounding shops and high-rise buildings, moviegoers at the scene might have thought they had traveled to Middle-earth.
Surrounded by elves, hobbits, orcs, and various monsters.
The accumulated influence of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy exploded with incredible energy on the day of the premiere.
The media were also very lively and gave comprehensive coverage to this event.
The Los Angeles City Government also strongly supported the event, with Mayor Mr. Locke granting permission for carnival fans to parade through the main streets of Los Angeles.
Mr. Locke also met with the cast of "The Return of the King" at City Hall before heading to the premiere.
Because the parade was delayed for some time, the red carpet ceremony of the premiere did not begin until around five o'clock in the evening.
Little Gilbert walked onto the red carpet with Anne Hathaway. The deafening cheers from the fans on both sides of the red carpet were so loud that they could penetrate the earth.
The reporter on the live broadcast of the TV station had to increase his volume to report: "We can see that the director of the film, Little Gilbert, took the elf princess Anne Hathaway to the red carpet.
The fans on both sides of the red carpet burst into loud cheers, and I felt like my eardrums were about to be burst..."
Little Gilbert didn't say much on the red carpet stage, leaving more space to the leading actors.
However, he still said: "From the beginning of preparation to now, we have finally ushered in the final chapter of the "Lord of the Rings" story.
I am grateful to our team. Without their efforts, this series would not be as smooth as it is.
Therefore, I would like to dedicate the final chapter of this series to the team members. This is an honor that belongs to all of us.
Although the story of "The Lord of the Rings" has reached its final chapter, the story of Middle-earth will never end..."
This last sentence gave movie fans endless reverie.
Could it be that? "Hobbit"?
After the main creators walked through the red carpet one after another, some celebrity guests arrived.
Almost all the A-list stars and directors in Hollywood came here just to support "The Return of the King".
Cheng Long attended the premiere with Bingbing Li and Shu Chang and walked on the red carpet.
Shu Chang, who was walking on the red carpet for the first time, looked at the enthusiastic fans on both sides of the red carpet. Although he was calm on the outside, he was already panicking inside.
"Sister Bingbing, is this the premiere of a Hollywood movie?" Shu Chang was curious that the premiere of a Hollywood movie was so huge.
Bingbing Li was also surprised, but she knew that not all Hollywood movies could have this scene.
"No, usually only movies directed by Gilbert Jr. can have such grand scenes." Bingbing Li said.
Cheng Long is now considered a well-known action movie star in Hollywood. He attended with two oriental beauties and young beauties, which attracted a certain amount of attention.
In fact, this is the role of linkage, using "The Return of the King" to promote "The Mystery of the Spell".
But the protagonist tonight is not Cheng Long and the others, but "The Return of the King".
The grand occasion on the red carpet alone today was enough for the media to write several reports.
Because the parade took a long time before, the guests took photos with the creators and then walked directly into the cinema to start the second part of the premiere.
Fans who had not been able to attend the rest of the premiere dispersed in droves at an astonishing speed.
But instead of going home, some of these fans headed toward nearby movie theaters.
Along with the premiere, there will be 2,200 advance screenings across the United States. Any "Lord of the Rings" fan doesn't want to miss the opportunity to see the film for the first time.
But unfortunately, the tickets for the early admission were sold out a week ago, and other movie fans who did not get the early admission had to endure.
Dedicated to "Chronology: Making a Fortune Begins from Five Acres of Flooded Land", a book written by a rare female author among the authors, a chronicle about farming.
A person with superpowers in the last days, whose soul traveled through the 1980s, farming in the mountains and rivers, without fail.
Those who are interested in chronology can go and take a look...
