Chapter 1121 Head-on collision
Nicholas Flynn showed a slight lack of interest and was not interested.
To be honest, the premieres are all the same, with little newness.
The fundamental reason why the "Cat and Mouse Game" was able to achieve great results last year is that Anson's flash mob activities were not only fresh, but also topical and impactful. It was a feat that cannot be replicated, including Anson himself. ——
After all, the same activity is fresh once but boring twice.
What's more, these Hollywood film companies often lack the sense of innovation. The premieres are just copying and pasting the same process and the same model.
So, Nicholas didn’t have any interest in the premiere of “The Big Show.”
In the final analysis, the really interesting part of the premiere is the people, the actors, directors, producers, screenwriters, etc., they are the best.
If he must go to the premiere, Nicholas would rather go to the "Butterfly Effect".
In fact, this is the biggest highlight of tonight——
"Fighting in the Raging Sea" VS "Butterfly Effect".
Russell Crowe VS Anson Wood.
Los Angeles, same day, same time period, two movies, two premieres.
So, where to go?
Of course, top media like the New York Times do not need to choose one from the other. They can send two teams to the two premieres respectively.
But here, there is a difference.
Where do senior journalists go? Which premiere is the elite team responsible for? Where should the focus of reporting be?
After all, there is no shortage of reporting teams, but with so many news pages, the media’s reporting resources will inevitably be tilted. At this time, it depends on the public relations layout.
Judging from the human publicity resources invested by 20th Century Fox and New Line Cinema, "The Big Show" should easily occupy more resources. Russell Crowe's current momentum is not inferior to Anson.
To be precise, it's even better.
The two movies "A Beautiful Mind" and "Gladiator" not only made Russell a candidate for the Oscar for two consecutive years, and finally successfully won a statuette; the North American box office of the two movies both exceeded 100 million US dollars, which can be said to be a box office and awards success. Double harvest.
Such a gesture is far beyond what Anson can match.
But in Nicholas's opinion, precisely because of this, he felt there was no need to go to the premiere of "The Big Show". It should probably be similar to "Gladiator". Just copy and paste the rainbow fart, press release There is no problem if you write it in advance at the hotel.
Moreover, key reporters from large and small media should not be absent. 20th Century Fox has taken care of everything. Even Anson has stepped aside in front of capital.
So, if one more person is not more, one less person is not more, so why go and join in the fun?
However, Nicholas's complaint was rejected by the editor-
"The Rage".
This is also the focus of the "New York Times" report. It is not just a holiday period, but a direct and seamless transition into the awards season. No one wants to miss it.
So. Despite his reluctance, Nicholas slowly swayed towards the Chinese Theater with heavy steps, but he kept thinking about the "Butterfly Effect" in his mind.
Tonight, "The Big Show" has a prime location, taking the spotlight at the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard; "The Butterfly Effect" is pitifully squeezed into the Wilshere Theater in Beverly Hills. .
In the past two months, New Line Cinema has detonated the box office market twice and found new ways to capture the audience's attention. This made Nicholas couldn't help but wonder, when New Line Cinema meets Anson, what can they do? What sparks came out of the collision.
You can get some clues from where the premiere was held.
In Los Angeles, the Chinese Theatre, Kodak Theater and Emirates Theater on Hollywood Boulevard are undoubtedly the absolute focus of attention. All movies are eager to be on stage here and hold grand premieres.
But don’t forget, this is Los Angeles, the base of Hollywood. There are countless movie theaters of all kinds, and special theaters of different types and styles abound.
Not only super commercial blockbusters will hold grand premieres, some niche films, independent films and restored classic films will also hold premieres. Maybe the lavishness is not as good as the big spenders on Hollywood Boulevard, but it is still in the Angels. The city has its own special market.
The Wilshere Theater is one of the more famous premiere venues.
This theater is located in Beverly Hills. It takes less than ten minutes to drive to the Chinese Theater, and you can reach it even on foot; but after leaving Sunset Boulevard, entering Beverly Hills is a Different world.
There are no tourists, no street performers, and it is not the vulgar stereotype of Beverly Hills filled with expensive mansions, but entering the heart of the city, where you can feel the rich flavor of life, and Really feel the footprints left by those movie lovers.
The Wilshere Theater officially opened to the audience in 1930. It is famous for its geometric patterns, symmetrical designs and luxurious decorations. Apart from the theater itself, this building is a landmark cultural classic in Los Angeles.
Known for welcoming arthouse and independent films with open arms, the theater quietly fueled the Hollywood film industry at a time when everyone was eager to head to the spotlight of Hollywood Boulevard.
Movie lovers including Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, etc. come here all year round and are keen to watch movies here.
Although the Wilshere Theater is far from famous among the general public, among true movie lovers, it is an important landmark.
"The Butterfly Effect" chose Wilshere Theater to hold its premiere. Nicholas does not believe that this is a "compromising" decision. He prefers to believe that this is an active choice that was closely discussed between New Line Cinema and Anson. .
What really makes Nicholas curious is, what is the scene there?
While his thoughts were surging, Nicholas had successfully entered Hollywood Boulevard. The familiar noise and heat wave rolled into his face. The familiar scene layout and regional divisions came into view. There was really no surprise at all——
Not even the appearance. The retro sailing ship on the red carpet was also completely expected.
The crew moved the real props from the movie shooting scene to the red carpet, which can not only attract attention, but also highlight the characteristics. Almost every crew thought so; reporters could foresee this before going to the premiere. One scene.
Of course, it must be admitted that this ship is quite spectacular. Not to mention the audience, many reporters also looked for photo angles to leave a souvenir.
At least from a publicity perspective, this is a talking point.
Standing in the bustling crowd, waiting for the film crew to arrive, Nicholas felt more and more bored. It was no different from other premieres. After changing a group of actors, the premiere of "The Last Samurai" could be held here immediately. And their manuscripts don't even need revisions.
Standing in place, wandering, hesitating, and struggling, Nicholas finally turned around and found his photojournalist partner tonight in the crowd.
"I'll leave this to you, take more photos."
After saying that, without waiting for a response, he turned around and got into the crowd, and just disappeared, just like that...disappeared... …
