Chapter 302 Chivalry
In the El Capitan Theater, Bob Eagle kept his appearance low and talked and socialized calmly, showing Disney's confidence and calmness.
But in fact, he was paddling like a duck, and his feet under the water had to kick hard. Only in this way could he maintain calm on the surface.
The uneasiness and anxiety in my heart are uncontrollable.
Judging from the current situation, the premiere publicity effect of "Princess Diaries" is mediocre. I am afraid that it will have limited help to the box office during the opening weekend. It will not be able to break the blockade of "Rush Hour 2", and the box office prospects will be clouded. layer shadow.
What to do?
Perhaps, they should have placed their hopes on "Princess Diaries" from the beginning. After all, this work has not been positioned as a heavyweight box office bomb from the production stage, but now it needs the movie to play such a role, It is indeed forcing people to do something difficult, and their temporary strategy is still too hasty.
All of a sudden, I had a lot of thoughts.
They will not be in a state of chaos, but they do need to be prepared for both -
Continue to increase publicity expenses and launch more publicity; or should they change their strategy?
Right now.
Boom!
An incredible heat wave erupted outside the theater. Everyone turned and looked over. Even if they were not there, they could feel the vibration of the air. The billowing air waves instantly filled the Emirates Theater hall.
And it is still rising.
“Ah! Ahhh!”
"It seems that Julie should be here. Sure enough, Mary Poppins still has extraordinary appeal." Some people made guesses and exchanged glances one after another. Even they had some expectations for Julie Andrews.
Bob feels a little more relieved. It seems that they made the right move in focusing on Julie. Maybe they should invite Julie to appear on some talk shows to further increase the exposure and awaken the audience. Childhood memories.
"No, Julie hasn't arrived yet, it's the movie's leading actor Anson who has arrived on the red carpet."
Someone next to him explained.
“I heard that Anson’s appearance was shocking and sparked heated discussions at the entrance of the theater. The reporters went crazy.”
Everyone looked at each other, unsure for a moment whether they should be happy or worried -
Attention and popularity are good things; but the styling controversy? Disney doesn't need that.
Bob:?
Anson, who? Is there a male protagonist in "Princess Diaries"? How shocking is the styling controversy? The last thing Michael Eisner needs right now is controversy. Even if "The Princess Diaries" fails at the box office, it doesn't matter, but the topic controversy may become an excuse for the board of directors to launch an attack.
For Disney, they would rather the movie box office suffers some pressure than damage their own image.
Bob was a little irritable, kept calm, and moved towards the door calmly. Although he had restrained himself and did not show his emotions, everyone present was a human being, and they all knew what this meant.
The air was slightly tense.
At the same time.
Outside the Emirate Theatre, Anne Hathaway felt the rolling heat wave as soon as she arrived at the scene. The densely packed figures on the red carpet were so crowded that she couldn’t see the end and she didn’t feel confident. ——
Besides being excited and excited, I am also more nervous.
Annie looked forward and asked, "Are there many people here today?"
After all, this is Annie's first official appearance as an actor. Compared with Anson, she is inexperienced and naturally more nervous.
"I don't know. The situation is a bit abnormal. But I heard that Anson just arrived."
Someone gave an explanation in front.
Anne exhaled softly, "Anson has arrived? That would be great."
The uneasiness and tension subsided a little, and then Anne smiled.
“I’m ready.”
The car stopped slowly at the entrance of the Emirate Theatre.
Annie pulled up the hem of her lace skirt, adjusted her breathing again, suppressed her tension, showed a sweet smile, and was finally ready to step into the field surrounded by spotlights and officially start her career as an actress——
Until this moment, I felt a sense of reality. It was like ice cubes falling into my stomach, and my whole stomach curled up and spasmed. Snap.
The car door opens.
At this time there was no time to hesitate, Annie had already walked out.
A heat wave came towards us with all its teeth and claws, and a black crowd filled the field of vision. Silver flashing lights roared down like a waterfall, swallowing up hearing and vision in an instant, and the world fell into boundless darkness and silence. , the right foot that had just been extended missed the point, he lost his center of gravity without warning, and then began to fall.
“Catch.”
In the silence, a voice exploded in my ears. Before I even had time to react, my right hand was held, and my right shoulder and body felt a force of support. The chaotic and bumpy center of gravity found support again, a warm ball. The air currents surrounded her, and the storm calmed down.
A ray of sunshine breaks through the darkness.
Then, Anne saw Anson's eyes, which were like the Aegean Sea in August, deep and clear, with the gentle breeze blowing the fish-scale waves, and the lazy sunshine dancing on the waves, feeling relaxed and happy.
"Be careful, Your Highness."
Another joke came to her ears, which instantly brought Anne back to the weight of gravity. A trace of annoyance appeared on her face, and she closed her eyes with a grin.
"Did everyone see it?"
"Ha." Anson's laughter surged in his chest and he comforted, "It's okay, we concealed it well, I believe no one will notice. .”
Click.
Click click click click.
The sound of shutters was overwhelming, and the hustle and bustle of the scene continued to surge. Annie could feel her skin getting slightly hot, and she knew that the situation was definitely not that simple——
Not only did they notice it, they recorded it on camera.
Embarrassed, really embarrassed.
So, is this your debut?
But miraculously, Anson's voice sounded quietly in his ears, so that the surrounding turbulence all receded like a tide, and his frantically beating heart calmed down again and regained its strength again.
With Anson by his side, all this doesn't seem so bad.
"Here, grab my hand, support your body, straighten your knees, and regain your center of gravity."
"Stand up straight."
"Calm down, smile, pretend it's okay, and move on. Car."
"As long as you are calm enough, other people's eyes will no longer matter."
Anson's voice made the corners of Annie's mouth rise again.
Click, click, click...
When Bob Eagle returned to the entrance of the El Capitan Theater, he happened to see this scene.
The flashlights were bright in the audience, and all the reporters pressed the shutter in unison, without even shouting or cheering. Just the sound of the shutter surged throughout the entire Hollywood Boulevard, and the echoes continued to explode.
In a silver halo, two figures at the beginning of the red carpet could be vaguely outlined -
The dressed-up princess was leaving the car, and the elegant knight stretched out his left hand and supported him. The princess appeared, her beautiful white lace skirt swaying in the wind.
The two people exchanged glances. After the small crisis was successfully resolved, they looked at each other and smiled, with the corners of their mouths slightly raised, exchanging ideas in a tacit understanding until the princess stood on the ground.
One left and one right, a man, a woman, a beauty, perfectly matched by nature, like an oil painting, so perfect that time is frozen forever at this moment.
Record classics.
