Chapter 1142 Two Worlds
"The angry sea fights", "the angry sea fights"... The headlines of the entertainment section of the "Los Angeles Times" are also "the angry seas fight", all of them are "the angry sea fights".
Carl Rivette, a film review blogger, is not in New York or Los Angeles, but in Paris, where he lives.
The last trip to the Cannes Film Festival and subsequent trips to the North American continent were all because of invitations; otherwise, he would not have had enough funds to fly around the world and go to the cinema to watch the premiere as soon as possible.
But, in France, he was slowly building up a steady readership of his own.
Ever since the close contact with Anson in Cannes, Carl has treated Anson differently and inadvertently, always habitually looks for news about Anson.
For example, this time——
"The Butterfly Effect" is released.
Carl was also very curious about Anson's aesthetic taste as a first-time producer; unfortunately, the film collided head-on with "Fighting", a heavyweight opponent, and the consequences were obvious, a complete tragedy.
Overwhelmingly, reports from major news media all focused on "The Fight in the Furious Sea."
Including the Los Angeles Times.
The reason is very simple. The public relations department of 20th Century Fox has done an excellent job. They ensured that all the headlines of major media focus on "The Big Show", and New Line Cinema has no chance at all——
< br>
Insufficient budget.
This is the reality. The era when the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley has passed. Now we have officially entered the era where whoever shouts louder can catch the attention. The importance of publicity has been further magnified.
Even Anson could not reverse this situation.
In Hollywood, capital is king after all.
Finally, with a glimmer of hope remaining, Carl opened the New York Times website again, trying to find something different in the entertainment section.
However——
"Fighting in the Raging Sea".
Karl was disappointed after all, and the last authoritative media fell.
The New York Times has always favored Anson. In the past two years, it has written many special reports, which are eye-catching and show a different Anson; but unfortunately, in the face of the all-round publicity of 20th Century Fox, they are no exception. , leaving the entertainment headlines to Russell Crowe.
"Hey, wait."
Karl was about to close the page. He had no interest in "Clash of the Furious", but he accidentally glanced at a photo, and his fingers couldn't help but stop——
Anson.
This photo is particularly special, completely different from the premiere in my memory.
Anson stood in the bustling crowd, with bright and brilliant smiles on their faces. It was obvious at a glance that they were enjoying a good time. Anson was densely surrounded, and then Anson seemed to hear the call and raised his head to look. Diagonally above, looking right into the camera.
Click.
A moment becomes eternity.
In the crowd, in the hustle and bustle, Anson still easily stands out.
That face makes time slow down and catches the eye easily.
"Anson Wood: An Evening with Friends——
‘The Butterfly Effect’ is a movie about life, but it is much more than that. ”
Glancing at it, Carl could see the author's name, Nicholas Flynn.
and!
The really interesting thing is that the headline position is indeed for "The Fighting Sea", occupying the entire page horizontally, and the text is densely spread out; but directly below, the topic "Butterfly Effect" is three times the size and majestic A long feature with different photos.
Ha ha!
Karl couldn't hold it back and laughed directly. It seemed that he could see the reporter's stubbornness and rebellion through the computer screen:
Since you said, the headlines must go to "Raging Sea", okay, they can have that position; but I still decided to use all-round in-depth reporting to steal his grace and give voice to the "Butterfly Effect". Of course, not only the New York Times, but other media also reported on the "Butterfly Effect". After all, it was Anson, and no one wanted to miss the news; but because of the "fighting", the reports covered all the news and did not overshadow it.
Naturally, those reports were relatively simple -
Despite this, the reporters' surprise and surprise can still be felt between the lines. The premiere of "The Butterfly Effect" took a completely different approach, opened up a new path, and firmly grabbed the attention.
Now, finally, you can see detailed and in-depth reporting in The New York Times.
The exclamations and admirations rushed out of my throat uncontrollably and I couldn't stop.
Karl was envious and sighed at the same time. It was hard to imagine just relying on imagination. How did the "Butterfly Effect" come up with such a premiere?
interactive. Periphery. party. Break down boundaries and enjoy the night together.
The whole concept is exciting, and the atmosphere of the scene is vivid on the paper. Just reading it, Carl can't help but be curious about the peripherals——
Moreover, it was actually painted and made by Anson himself.
incredible!
It would be great if they could also buy related peripherals when the movie is released in Paris.
"...Multiple endings? Are they crazy?"
"No, no, no, no, they don't, he's just Anson."
"But why? With so many endings, how do I know if I like it?"
"That's what Anson is about, he just wants us to think."
"Even for Anson, this is still crazy..."
On the side, rustling discussions caught Karl's ears.
This is a coffee shop, either a large chain coffee shop or a coffee shop in a residential area, but all the residents of the nearby blocks gather here, of all ages, even on weekdays.
Turning his head, Karl saw two girls just preparing to take a seat next to them, discussing with excitement, their cheerful expressions revealing their mood at the moment.
Without hesitation, Karl stepped forward.
"Sorry, please forgive my rudeness, but I just accidentally overheard your conversation, Anson?"
"So, are you talking about the 'Butterfly Effect'? What's going on with the multiple endings?"
Carl was slightly anxious and quickly turned the computer screen to the two girls next to him to prove his innocence.
They came forward to take a look, suddenly realized, exchanged a look with perfect understanding, and both laughed.
After two people explained it, Karl realized that the forum had become lively, and it was completely different from the media reports.
According to rumors from last night's premiere in Los Angeles, the theatrical version of "The Butterfly Effect" will have multiple versions of endings; the key point is that these endings will not be shown as Easter eggs after the end of the movie, but will be released randomly. Different cinemas play different endings.
When the news came out, it stirred up waves and triggered countless discussions in an instant.
Obviously, the voices of protest and opposition took the lead and spread——
By attacking and complaining.
Imagine a movie has five endings, so should viewers watch the movie five times?
Moreover, the ending of the movie is also random, which means that unless the European Emperor is extremely lucky, he will definitely not be able to see all versions of the ending five times.
So, what is this, a naked grab for money?
Although everyone knows that movie companies want to make money, this is the first time that they have so blatantly reached into the audience's pockets to grab money.
The food looks too ugly.
Criticize, curse, ridicule, ridicule, abuse.
An astonishing burst of energy instantly became the focus of major forums in a short period of time, and its spread exceeded expectations.
