Chapter 482: Fanaticism is emerging
New York also has a cinephilia culture, and the various underground film festivals are even more dazzling.
But overall, movie fans in New York have thresholds and are scattered in different corners of the city.
If it is a small screening of a niche independent film, it can easily attract a large number of fans; however, special screenings of large commercial films are slightly deserted.
It is precisely because of this that Karen thinks they should stay in Los Angeles——
Now it seems like a good idea.
“Ah!”
A scream can easily summon a group of friends.
Being like a lunatic by yourself becomes much more normal with the support of your friends. One or two other people around you slowly put aside their rationality and join in one after another, and it becomes a trend - —
For example, take a photo with the humanoid board.
As a result, this scene of performance art appeared in front of the cinema.
While queuing and yawning, Karen couldn't understand this at all, "Ah, I have to protest to Sony Columbia. I would rather watch the midnight show than the morning show, if it weren't for Anson... …”
Unexpectedly, she just muttered and someone immediately responded.
“That’s right, why not arrange a midnight show?”
“I would like to watch the midnight show first, but Sony Columbia won’t give me a chance.”
"I guess I'm still worried about the box office."
Since the 1970s, North American movie theaters have had the concept of midnight screenings, specifically referring to movies shown in advance at 12 o'clock at midnight. However, this kind of movie culture has not yet become mainstream. Later, the news that commercial blockbusters broke the box office record at midnight shows is just a concept now.
At present, there are often only two types of movies that are willing to be screened at midnight:
One is genre movies, such as romance, horror, western, and types that are prohibited for those under 18 years of age. Services for couples or specific audiences.
One type is fan movies, such as "Star Trek", which has a large number of die-hard fans but has never been as popular as "Star Wars".
Simply put, niche.
After all, the concept of watching movies at midnight still lacked a little imagination in 2002 when the Internet was not fully developed.
Naturally, summer commercial blockbusters rarely use midnight screenings to create gimmicks, which is why this scene happened.
"Spider-Man" obviously does not have fanatical fans who are willing to rush to the midnight show. Superhero comics are even more aliens labeled as otakus. Sony Columbia is worried that the gimmick of the midnight show is in vain——
As a result, a group of impatient, impatient and impatient audiences were forced to get up early and come to the cinema to watch the morning show.
Not only the girls, but also the girls’ boyfriends. What’s amazing is that there is also a small group of otakus, all of them are taciturn and don’t approach strangers. They keep their heads down and line up obediently, not daring to look around.
In a sense, the morning show is even more outrageous and absurd than the midnight show.
After all, going to bed late is much easier than getting up early.
However, when the words "worry about box office" came out, everyone showed a clear attitude.
Including Karen, even though she was helpless, she couldn't refute.
Then, the crowd immediately erupted in sound.
"You are looking down on us, even if it is just for Anson, I will watch it three times!"
"No matter whether the movie is good or bad, I will definitely not watch it just once."
“Anson is worth it!”
“Oh, God, don’t you think Anson Jane is simply perfect?”
"...Yes, yes, yes, that's right, the Dior ad. I'm so fascinated by him. He's so weak in the legs. How can a man be so dashing!"
"I'm because of 'The Tonight Show,' Anson." The interaction with Jay Leno was so funny, I can’t remember the last time I saw such a funny show.”
“Business, God, I went to look for street performance. Look..."
"Isn't it because of "Princess Diary"? When Anson walked out of the crowd at the end-"
"Ahhh!"< br>
I couldn't control the crowing of the rooster. Every time someone brought up a topic, someone would pick up the topic right after. One after another, I was completely overwhelmed. "By the way, which one of you has 'GQ'?"
"I was just about to ask."
"It's out of print."
"What?"
"I specifically wrote an email to 'GQ' to ask about Anson's issue, but they told me it was out of print and would not be reprinted."
"Ah, my heart! Despair! ”
“The last time I saw someone buying it on the forum, it was priced at ninety-nine dollars. I didn’t dare to buy it, but it was taken away. I still regret it now.”
< br>“God, Anson isn’t even on the cover of that issue of the magazine, what’s going on?”
“But you have to admit, Anson’s photo of that issue is really good, it’s so beautiful.”
"I haven't seen it, how do I know."
Chirping, dazzled.
Suddenly, a whole new world opened in front of Blair's eyes.
For a long time, Blair thought that Anson was just a fledgling actor, and that "Spider-Man" was the first starring role in his career. Everything was like a street performance in Manhattan, and only a small group of people knew him.
The same goes for the premiere of "Spider-Man". There were only a dozen or twenty supporters led by Gloria, but they never imagined that there was another world outside their own. The vast expanse of the ocean.
It turns out that they are not the only ones who like Anson.
A sense of happiness at having found a comrade instantly filled my chest, and that excitement and joy flew up into the sky like a butterfly's wings flapping rapidly.
This is the first time that Blair knows that that issue of "GQ" is actually out of print, and there are even people asking for it at high prices on the forum. This is a whole new world -
How is that possible?
Unexpectedly, Karen interjected, "There is a scanned version on Yahoo. Although it is not very clear, it can be saved on the computer."
Blair looked at Karen in disbelief.
Ultimately, there was a lot of discussion around.
Karen also looked at Blair and smiled, "I also tried to buy a copy for my collection, but unfortunately I couldn't find it."
Blair suddenly covered his mouth: What the hell Karen , there is a good thing but you don’t share it!
“That section of Yahoo?”
"Yes, yes, share it."
In a blink of an eye, the entrance to the cinema was completely flooded with laughter again.
Jesse and Alexander, who had just arrived at the AMC theater, had not yet reacted. They sat in the carriage and looked out the window at the huge queue with question marks on their heads.
Alexander is an honest man, "Oh, is there a superstar showing up? Or are you queuing up to buy popcorn?"
Jesse:...
Jesse glanced at Alexander with a speechless face, "It would be more reliable if you said that AMC held a special summer movie viewing event of buy one, get one free."
Alexander's face was full of surprise, "Is it true? Why haven't you heard about it? "
Jesse was actually choked, ignored Alexander, looked out the window again, and couldn't help but start thinking.
He has confirmed that the crew of "Spider-Man" has not arranged a post-screening meeting in Los Angeles this week, so how to explain the huge crowd in front of him.
As a reporter, my keen sense of smell immediately grasped a possibility——
Not... right?
Jessie's heart tightened, and all kinds of conjectures instantly filled her mind. She was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little confused. Her hands and feet were all confused for a moment.
Wait a minute, what’s going on?
