"Los Angeles Times", "Obviously this is not the first time, and certainly will not be the last time. The only thing that can be 100% sure is that this is not common, at the premiere of a commercial movie , the movie ended with a standing ovation. After all, we were not at the Toronto Film Festival.
However, this is what happened.
Anson Wood and Tom Hanks teamed up. The starring work "Cat and Mouse" won five minutes of applause after the premiere at the Chinese Theater."
Papapapa.
Bang bang bang!
At the end of the movie screening, I am not sure who was the first one. Maybe several viewers stood up at the same time. Applause soon swept the audience and triggered a huge wave of mountain roaring and tsunami.
And, as the main crew members such as Anson, Tom, and Steven stood up, stepped onto the stage, and prepared to enter the audience interaction session, the heat wave climbed to a new level, and the energy released instantly was almost It’s about blowing the roof off and showing incredible enthusiasm.
“TMZ”, “Everything was too crazy and outrageous. At that time, all the blocks around Hollywood Boulevard were blocked and no vehicles could pass; however, a siren actually sounded from the street next to the Chinese Theater, which once alarmed Los Angeles.
After investigation, police officers confirmed that the noise inside the theater was too loud and crazy, and accidentally alerted the police motorcycle parked on the roadside, triggering an alarm; but there was no one around at the time, and the police The danger was quickly eliminated without causing more chaos.”
Things make people laugh and cry.
Although it was just a small episode, the well-informed paparazzi were also surprised. TMZ, which has been on the rise in the past six months, gave a detailed and in-depth report.
Compared with those words, TMZ's short story can deeply feel the astonishing response and aftertaste of "Cat and Mouse" on the premiere night.
However, this is still not the end.
Boom boom boom!
Buzz!
The heat wave is still rising, whistles, screams, and shouts are mixed with applause, and the premiere has turned into a fan meeting.
"Entertainment Weekly", "I felt like I stumbled into a Backstreet Boys concert."
In 2002, "The Twilight Saga" had not yet been released; Justin Bieber (Justin Bieber) -Bieber) has not yet appeared; the K-pop fan culture led by BTS has not yet swept across.
However, the fierce competition between Backstreet Boys and Super Boys has already seen the beginning of idol culture sweeping the world, and the era of "greater appearance" has quietly arrived.
Obviously, "Entertainment Weekly" compared the premiere of "Cat and Mouse" to a Backstreet Boys concert. It was just a small accident. They also did not expect that the idol craze in the music field would also begin to invade the film and television field soon. The more popular artists come into the public eye.
Judging from what happened on premiere night, though, Entertainment Weekly wasn't talking nonsense.
Passionate, crazy, on the verge of losing control, the scene fell into chaos for a time.
The "Hollywood Reporter" also said in a follow-up report:
"The applause frenzy that lasted for five minutes had no end in sight, so that interviews after the screening were completely impossible to conduct. Come forward to Anson
At that time, Anson just made a conductor's rest movement, and the billowing heat wave that filled the audience miraculously pressed the pause button, echoing the hustle and bustle of the opening. This man who just celebrated his 20th birthday last month Young actors already have unparalleled influence.
When the frenzy finally reached a stage, a woman in the screening room screamed in disbelief and began to confess.
‘Anson, I love you. ’
In response, Anson opened his hands and accepted the confession calmly, which once again put the screening room in danger of shaking.
This should be the most crisis-ridden night in the history of Chinese theaters. "Not to mention gossip media such as TMZ and "Entertainment Weekly", even authoritative media such as "The Hollywood Reporter" were no exception in the face of the craze on the night of the premiere.
Furthermore, the "Hollywood Reporter" conducted in-depth reports. They believed that Anson's role in "Cat and Mouse Game" was perfect -
Not only did Anson's charm as an actor appear in all aspects, Even an idol vase has multi-colored charm; and through a character showing his struggle and growth, such a work allows the audience to empathize and resonate, and strongly declares Anson's existence as an actor.
Anson deserves a lot of credit for the movie being able to trigger such a reaction.
“After experiencing the minor setback of ‘Minority Report’ with mixed reviews, Steven Spielberg turned in a perfect answer to prove his ability.”
Obviously, as a professional media, the in-depth reporting of "Hollywood Reporter" does not stop at gossip and tidbits, but uses gossip as an entry point to carry out all-round reporting.
Another authoritative media, the New York Times, approached the issue from a different angle.
“In the movie, Christmas Eve is a day of special significance. DreamWorks also specially selected Christmas Eve as the day when the movie and the audience meet for the first time. From inside the movie to outside the movie, it breaks the fourth wall and truly makes the audience happy. The audience felt the warmth conveyed by the movie, which echoed the ending of the movie.
At the end of the post-screening audience meeting, the crew creatively arranged a special gift and selected one lucky audience member from the scene, who was personally escorted by Anson. Go home and give a Christmas gift to prove the existence of the Christmas miracle with practical actions.
I never expected that this small activity would become the biggest highlight of the night.
Anson Wood said that the original intention of the event was to echo the movie. Just as little Frank Abagnale (the protagonist of the movie) is always struggling to find the warmth of family, in the real world he also escorts the lucky audience home on Christmas Eve. Reunite with your family on this special day.
However.
Obviously, Anson Wood has ignored his own charm, and the production team of "Cat and Mouse Game" and DreamWorks have also ignored Anson Wood's current appeal.
Before the seat numbers were drawn, the Chinese Theater was paralyzed for a time. Screams, cheers, and tears swept the audience. It was like entering the movie world instantly; and after Anson Wood announced the winner, the envious eyes made The Chinese Theater was reduced to a scorched earth as the premiere ended at its climactic moment. ”
Of course, the above is still not all, and the “New York Times” further analyzed the reasons in depth——
From "The Princess Diaries" to "Spider-Man" to "Cat and Mouse", here's how Anson became the dream lover of the entire North American continent in just three movies.
It’s not just a movie, but also characters and scripts. Step by step, Anson’s glory is finally achieved.
Words alone cannot describe even one tenth of the hustle and bustle of the premiere night; however, the scene sketched out with a few strokes triggered a storm of imagination in the readers' minds.
Some people regretted missing the premiere, some were envious of the participants who witnessed the miracle that night, some were looking forward to seeing the movie, and some gritted their teeth and said it was all hype.
The only thing that cannot be denied is the heat.
The premiere of "Cat and Mouse" turned out to be devastating, easily stealing the attention of millions of families on Christmas Eve.
The next day, Christmas Day, apart from opening gifts, what millions of people are most concerned about is:
What is the reputation of "Cat and Mouse Game"?
