Chapter 664 premieres like this
2002, December 24, Christmas Eve.
Logically speaking, it should be a time for family reunions and holidays, but the entertainment industry is still running and busy without touching the ground.
This year, especially so.
Last week, "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" chose to be released in advance on Wednesday. It not only held a grand premiere, but also held fan interactions in major cities across the United States, making it the first Christmas holiday in a grand way. gun.
From the side, we can directly feel the importance that Hollywood attaches to this year's holiday season.
Now, it’s the turn of the “cat-and-mouse game”. Christmas Eve is Tuesday. The movie held its premiere in advance and announced that it would premiere on Christmas Day on Wednesday. Like “Lord of the Rings 2,” it will be extended. First week screening cycle.
Naturally, the entire Hollywood is operating at a high speed, and no one is exempt. All the people related to the film industry have no chance to go home for the holidays, and the social workers still have to work hard. This is obviously not a good thing.
However, to outsiders, it looks like a different gorgeous scene——
On Christmas Eve, ordinary people can only spend the holiday with their families; but Hollywood people can enjoy it with Steven- Partying with top stars like Spielberg, Tom Hanks and...Anson Wood.
Families can see each other every year, but this may not be the case for superstars.
Christmas and Hollywood are more delicious when eaten together.
As it turns out, this seems like it might be correct.
Because—
The Chinese Theater goes crazy and gets into full holiday party mood.
"San Francisco Chronicle" said:
More than 1,500 movie fans gathered along the entire Hollywood Boulevard to attend this carnival, and the hustle and bustle of the scene was completely comparable to the Oscar Awards ceremony.
With Hollywood Boulevard as the center, traffic control is fully implemented in the surrounding four blocks. People have arrived at the scene 36 hours in advance and queued up. The huge queue has also become a scene at the Chinese Theater.
The point is that "Cat and Mouse Game" is not a series of movies nor a commercial movie; the fact is that such a biographical movie focusing on criminals cannot ignite market frenzy from any angle.
However, this is what happened.
It all comes down to...Anson Wood.
The "Chicago Tribune" described the grand occasion of the premiere in this way:
The faces expressed joy and happiness, like sunflowers in full bloom in the midsummer morning, looking out with joy and vigor. Heading in the same direction on the red carpet, waiting for a unique idol to appear——
A wave of "Anson fever" is setting off throughout North America.
Scream. Hot discussion. Knees weak.
Countless boys and girls are going crazy for Anson Wood.
Unlike Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of a perfect prince in the movie "Titanic", which triggered the craze of millions of girls, Anson Wood's Peter- Parker has become a teen idol indiscriminately. Maybe boys and girls see different charms in color, but there is no doubt that Anson is the goal they aspire to.
Everyone longs for Anson.
As expected, reports from the "San Francisco Chronicle" to the "Chicago Tribune" completely focused on Anson. This teenage idol who became famous overnight firmly controlled the focus of heated discussions. .
According to different media reports that night, the number of spectators who arrived at the scene exceeded 1,500. Some said it was more than 2,000, and there was even a saying that it was 3,000; but the number was no longer The key point is that the dense and turbulent sea of people on site will undoubtedly become the top spot for this year’s holiday season, recreating the summer heat wave.
Everything is waiting for Anson to appear.
Even Tom Hanks, even Steven Spielberg, their appearances were completely ignored.
It is understandable if the audience and movie fans reacted this way, but the media was no exception. The flash seemed so uninterested that Tom directly made a joke. "It seems that everyone is homesick."
The witty remarks made the reporters on the red carpet burst into laughter.
However, when the dazzling actors appeared on stage and the long-awaited protagonist finally appeared, the Chinese Theater showed a real tsunami storm.
Ah, ah ah ah.
Ah!
Heart-breaking, the earth is shaking.
The shouts instantly flooded the entire Hollywood Boulevard.
"New York Post", my ears were roaring for a moment and then I could no longer hear the sound. I could only see faces distorted by excitement and crying because of fanaticism. However, the world was quiet. The sharp contrast made the scene... The stormy waves continued to impact my consciousness in another form.
"Entertainment Weekly", crazy. Screaming, shouting, cheering, cheering and other words are simply not enough to describe one ten thousandth of the grand spectacle in front of us. The madness of trying to shout out the soul overturned the red carpet with the force of a mountain roar and a tsunami. At that moment, Anson was the king of China. The king of theater.
"Variety Show", the moment Anson appeared on the stage, we entered a dreamy wonderland like Alice. The world is no longer what we once knew it, and we can still feel the heart-exploding feeling until now. Excited and crazy, the soul is caught in the storm and shattered.
It’s not just about fans, it’s not just about the media.
Other actors, directors, and film industry staff were also shocked——
Unheard of.
Back then, after Leonardo became famous overnight with "Titanic", he actually didn't have the opportunity to enjoy cheering like this. Everything happened too fast.
Of course, Leonardo had a little experience at the Oscars, but the occasion was crowded with stars and there were many other audiences and fans, so it was not entirely for Leonardo to attend the ceremony.
Later, Leonardo's next work was released a full fourteen months later; moreover, "The Man in the Iron Mask" did not hold a grand premiere.
It is precisely because of this that Leonardo is at a loss when faced with the ubiquitous fanaticism in real life, and at some moments he wants to disappear from the earth.
He had not experienced it and was not prepared for it.
Anson was different in front of him.
The craze for "Spider-Man" continues, and "Cat and Mouse" holds another grand premiere, once again becoming the shining moment for Anson's grand debut. The spotlight focuses on Anson, and the whole world begins to spin.
Even senior professional reporters have never seen such a crazy occasion.
Los Angeles Times, raising doubts about the extent of a small earthquake.
Not to mention Melvin.
Melvin even began to worry that Anson's brilliance was so bright that people would ignore his appearance. After all, everyone was paying attention to that face and naturally no one cared about his appearance, even if Anson was wearing a sack. On stage, people were still crying and crying with tears in their eyes.
At the premieres of "Princess Diaries" and "Spider-Man", people were not blinded yet, so they noticed Anson's styling combination immediately.
But today?
Screaming with no end in sight.
However, Melvin soon realized that his worries were unnecessary.
The reason why Anson is Anson is because of his natural charm from the inside out. An innate sense of fashion allows him to shine quietly.
The same goes for tonight's premiere. With a little patience, someone will notice, and not just one or two. People once again feel that Anson is unique.
