Chapter 471 The Curtain Kicks Off
Today’s premiere of “Warriors” at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles was so star-studded that reporters on both sides of the red carpet felt like they couldn’t take photos.
Naomi Watts appeared together with Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson and other hostesses of Melon Manor.
Cameron Diaz is recuperating after giving birth, but she and Noriko Sakai and Norika Fujiwara recorded a short blessing video for little Gilbert while holding the baby.
From the crew of "The Mystery of the Talisman", Cheng Long brought Shu Chang and Bingbing Li to support them.
The Harry Potter trio also arrived, and Emma Watson opened up about her relationship with baby Gilbert in a red carpet interview.
Nicole Kidman and Suri Cruise appeared on the red carpet together. Suri is the goddaughter of little Gilbert and is very popular. People give her the nickname "Little Princess".
It's different from little Gilbert who doesn't let his children show more face in front of the media. Suri has appeared in front of the media many times. This time when I walked on the red carpet with my mother, I actually looked elegant.
In addition, there are a lot of Hollywood stars who will come to join in the fun as long as they can be related to little Gilbert and the leading actor.
Other people's movie premieres are all about inviting this and that, but what troubled little Gilbert's movie premiere was that there were too many guests and not enough seats.
At the end, it was the appearance of the leading actors.
Two superstars, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, walked on the red carpet together. There was a huge poster at the entrance of the theater, in which the two faced each other.
And when the two walked on the red carpet, the atmosphere highlighted in the poster was truly revealed on the red carpet.
The reporters almost clicked their cameras without noticing, they just wanted to take more good photos. The screams of movie fans on both sides of the red carpet created a sound that could shake Los Angeles to the sky.
After that, it was little Gilbert and Charlize Theron who appeared on the red carpet.
The momentum created by the two is no less than that of Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, and even slightly exceeds it.
Enough has been done before to promote this movie, and it’s time to see the real story.
So in the red carpet interview, little Gilbert didn't say much and just asked everyone to go to the cinema to find out.
After the red carpet ceremony, we entered the second part of the premiere, the movie viewing activity.
Movie fans who were not qualified to watch the movie quickly dispersed, waiting for the midnight show to start. Qualified media guests and some invited senior movie fans couldn't wait to go into the cinema to watch the movie.
Before the second session started, in the VIP lounge, little Gilbert was chatting with Director Nolan who came to support him.
"How was the filming of "The Prestige"? Was Scarlett ever naughty on the set?"
Before Nolan could speak, Scarlett interrupted, dissatisfied: "Hey, am I that naughty in your eyes?"
"Not only that, I heard from many directors that you are almost becoming a little devil on the set."
Sijia curled her lips and said: "How can there be? I am very honest."
Nolan watched the two bickering with a smile on his face: "I don't know about other crews, but in my crew, Sijia is still very hardworking and serious."
"That's good," little Gilbert asked another question: "How is Christian's performance? I mean, how is his performance?"
"He is a very unique actor and he works very hard." Nolan recalled: "He has a very special temperament. He has both dark and bright temperaments at the same time, both good and evil."
"It's similar to what I remember." Little Gilbert nodded.
Nolan smiled and said: "Are you satisfied with this choice? I think he is really good."
"Indeed, to tell you the truth." Little Gilbert said: "You should also know and participate in it.
In my plan to reboot the "Batman" movie, Christian is indeed the most suitable actor to play Bruce Wayne. "
The script for the "Batman" trilogy was written by David S. Goyer and Jonathan Nolan in the garage of director Nolan's home.
At that time, Nolan often paid attention to the completion of the script and provided a lot of opinions, so his name was also included in the screenwriter's signature.
As the script came out bit by bit, Nolan couldn't help but want to direct. But it is a pity that Warner does not trust him. With Gilbert Jr., Warner will not ask him to take over.
However, Nolan had the same idea as Gilbert Jr. about the choice of Bruce Wayne, and both thought Christian Bale was very suitable.
So when filming "The Prestige", Nolan recommended Christian Bale to Gilbert Jr.
After chatting for a while, the movie viewing activity officially began.
Before the movie started, there was still some noise in the theater. Everyone was looking forward to the movie and were discussing it eagerly. .
Drake is a relatively young Little Gilbert fan. He is only 20 years old and currently studying in college.
He grew up watching Little Gilbert movies, so he was very loyal.
During the lottery to qualify for the premiere, Drake wrote a short essay about his relationship with Little Gilbert's movie, and was immediately selected.
Thinking of the surprised and envious looks of his classmates, Derek almost laughed.
Drake was a little nervous attending the premiere this time.
He is responsible for judging the film and then telling the fan community about its specific qualities.
Surrounded by little Gilbert, or two Toms, or Queen Theron fans or fans. A little further ahead are "Variety", "Movies", "Vanity Fair", "Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times" and other major North American media.
Going further, Drake saw many familiar stars in Hollywood, and he knew every one of them by name.
This scene, this battle, made Drake quite excited.
But the one who attracted the most attention was Director Gilbert Jr. sitting in the front row.
At the star-studded premiere, little Gilbert was the sun and a star. And those Hollywood stars are all surrounding him because of his existence.
Drake remembered a sentence he had read in a book before: Gilbert Jr. is the youngest, most talented, most popular and famous director in the history of Hollywood.
He made a huge contribution to the globalization of Hollywood, he revolutionized the way Hollywood movies are shot, and he made a lot of explorations into Hollywood movie types and themes...
That book tells the history of Hollywood, in which Gilbert's chapter is described in such detail that it made Drake's heart surge.
This is Drake's first time watching a premiere. He almost shook hands with little Gilbert on the red carpet just now. He was really excited.
But before Drake could calm down, the movie officially kicked off, and the still-busy theater instantly fell silent.
The credits of Disney, Warner Pictures, and Melon Studios flashed by.
With the singing of an opera aria, the movie opens with a sense of fate and atmosphere. Tom Hanks' Ido Dash appears, painting stamps from fish bones and peeling paint.
In just a few shots, Tom Hanks' superb imitation skills are demonstrated.
In previous interviews, the creators did not reveal more about the story of the movie "Wushuang" itself.
According to director Gilbert Jr., if you know more details too early, you will lose the fun of watching the movie.
Judging from the performance method at the beginning, what little Gilbert said is indeed correct.
Ido Dash was then interrogated by the US police. It turned out that he was a member of a criminal gang called Painters.
On the way back from the airport, Ido Dash behaved a little strangely and kept looking at the rearview mirror in front of him. This detail was noticed by Drake. He felt that this was the key point and needed to be tested.
It can be learned from the police introduction that members of this gang died in a hotel in Canada not long ago, and Ido Dash was also caught shortly afterwards.
However, the leader of the gang, the painter, has been missing. There are no photos or files. The police have no way to investigate, so they want to get clues from Ido Dash.
The opening scene is a very normal crime film routine. According to the usual Hollywood practice, the police asked for information from Ido Dash, then battled wits with the painter, and finally succeeded in capturing the painter.
This routine is timeless and can make movies for decades.
But if that were the case, Tom Hanks wouldn't be cast as Ido Dash.
Charlize Theron was sitting in the front row. She had already watched the movie and had time to observe other people's reactions.
After observing for a while, Charlize Theron smiled and said: "These people were frightened by your pretentiousness. The real story begins later."
"Sally, what is the film about?" Naomi Watts sitting aside asked.
Charlize Theron shook her head and said: "You will know as you read on. All I can say is that it is very exciting. Be careful not to use your brain."
Naomi Watts turned to look at little Gilbert. Seeing that he had no intention of answering, she had to put her mind back to the movie.
The police questioned Ido Dash, but Ido Dash was so scared that he even asked the police to send him back to jail. He was afraid of the painter's revenge.
The police had no choice but to lock Ido Dash in the detention center.
The performance of Vera Farmiga, who plays the female police officer here, is very good, and she looks on par with Tom Hanks.
But what attracts more attention is her beautiful blue eyes, which are really attractive.
Drake fell in love with these eyes at first sight and decided to go get an autograph and take a photo with the actor after the premiere.
The story continues, and Mary, played by Charlize Theron, finally appears the next day, and she comes to bail Ido Dash out.
However, the police did not want to let Ido Dash go so easily and asked Ido Dash to tell him who the painter was before he could leave.
This Mary is the survivor of the last case committed by the painter group. She is also a famous painter today, a real painter.
Her husband died in the last case, and Ido Dash was a member of the painter gang, but she came to bail Ido Dash, which was a bit strange.
Drake is very smart and came up with this question.
There are also fans who are speculating, is there any relationship between Mary Caesar and Ido Dash?
From the subsequent dialogue, we can know that the relationship between Mary and Ido is really unusual.
Because of the warning in advance, the audience's minds began to spin, guessing various possibilities and directions of the plot, but no one really guessed how the story would unfold.
The previous story is at most an appetizer. From the memories of Ido Dash, the story of "Wushuang" slowly begins
