Movie Master

Chapter 219 Take the initiative to attack

Lance and Brad stood facing each other, holding their right hands together in a friendly and polite manner, with charming and bright smiles on their faces, but the air between the two was surging, and their hot gazes collided head-on , filled with a tense tension, as if it only needed a ray of sunshine to ignite the sparks on the scene completely, the grand sense of confrontation and ritual was pushed to the extreme at this moment, there was a kind of depression And the introverted epic sense is magnificent.

Even without any words, let alone any collisions, the tension of the confrontation made the blood spurt, and the adrenaline was like thousands of butterflies flying together, dazzling the eyes. After Brian Barlow was excited to the extreme, he calmed down completely. When everyone was stunned and stunned for a while, he quickly pressed the shutter, one after another, and quickly recorded this story full of countless stories. moment.

Lance's attendance was completely beyond everyone's expectations. His appearance seemed to freeze the atmosphere in the audience, causing everyone to briefly fall into a state of stupor. The only thought in everyone's mind was: he Why are you here? Even the producers and staff of Warner Bros. were a little caught off guard. Only Barry Meyer stood inside the Chinese Theater, looking at Lance's proudly standing figure meaningfully, thoughtfully.

"I hope my arrival didn't disrupt the rhythm of the party." Lance said half-jokingly in a gentlemanly tone, "Everyone at the scene suddenly fell silent to welcome me, which really flattered me. "

Brad knew that he had to stand up to deal with Lance, but because all this happened so suddenly, and at this time under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't express his true thoughts, "Fuck you/Mom /Yeah, you are not welcome here, go back!" He took the initiative to stand up, expressed the host's generosity and hospitality, and welcomed Lance, which was already a reaction of Brad's/ability, but this When he had to further deal with Lance's hypocritical polite words, Brad's brain went blank for a moment, and he replied reflexively, "Hospitality is one of the characteristics of Los Angeles."

This kind of boilerplate politeness is actually a standard course in the etiquette teaching process of Hollywood actors. It will not shine, but it will not make mistakes.

But after saying it, Brad realized that by saying this, he was actually acknowledging that Lance's attendance was welcome—it didn't matter, everyone was welcome to the party, but the problem The reason is that in this way, the media will not know that Lance attended without being invited.

This really made Brad a little aggrieved.

"I never expected it, I never expected it." At this time, a hearty laughter came from behind, which made Brad's gratitude beyond his heart, and someone finally spoke. Looking back, it was Conan-O'Brien, the host of today's premiere, the red-haired middle-aged man walked over with a bright smile on his face, "Just when everyone is expecting the two movies to hit the earth, how can we imagine that we actually saw the spokespersons of the two movies appear on the scene, this is definitely the climax of today's premiere .”

As expected of an outstanding talk show host who is rapidly rising at present, Conan only used the space of one sentence to make everyone on the scene burst into laughter. What's more profound is that Conan blatantly put the confrontation between "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy" on the table, omitting the secret speculation and speculation, and also pushed Lance's position to that of an "outsider". Brad practically bit his handkerchief and tearfully thanked Conan for coming forward.

Conan can say some things, but Brad can't.

Lance didn't seem to be surprised by Conan's appearance. He chuckled and shook his head, "Dennis Quaid's heart will be broken when he hears such a conversation." What Lance meant was saying, " "The Day After Tomorrow" spoke for Dennis, not him. "I'm attending the premiere today as Brad's friend. I don't talk about business, just friendship."

Brad looked at Lance's laughing face, as if in the past week, all the debates about "the day after tomorrow" and "Troy" didn't exist at all, and suddenly felt choked - Lance didn't care at all, as long as he If one person holds on to it anxiously, the battle of bearing has already been defeated.

"Haha, this is definitely a good story." Conan glanced at Brad and found that he didn't speak immediately, and realized that the current situation was still too difficult for Brad to speak, so he went on to say, "I don't know. You and Brad are friends. It's really unexpected. Recently, the media has been talking about your works competing with Brad's. As a layman, I'm terrified by the fierce competition. .”

As the host of the premiere, Conan’s position is actually relatively neutral. Although he must shout for “Troy”, he also needs to interact with reporters to ensure that after the premiere, the reporters have enough to talk about. Promote the movie. From these words, it can be seen that Conan always put Lance in the position of "opponent" to start the conversation, but he did not leave the hottest topic in the past week. That kind of hostile attitude is like a needle hidden in cotton. Overwhelming.

The smile on Lance's face still did not fade, and he turned to look at George, "This is Hollywood, isn't it? We are friends, but we are also competitors." George received Lance's sight , At this time, there is really a dilemma. He can't help Brad blatantly, but he can't say good things for Lance, but even so, George knows that if he doesn't respond, he will show his feet, so he Still bit the bullet and walked over. However, Lance didn't mean to embarrass George, and continued, "Actually, during the preparation stage of 'Troy', I was also working hard to achieve the first cooperation with Brad, but unfortunately, the cooperation could not be reached in the end. "

Without making a fuss, Lance revealed another inside story: the candidate for the director of "Troy" was actually Lance—although Lance did not mention whether it was the director or the producer, it was obvious that the reporters had already started to make up their minds automatically. up. So, in the end, why didn't Lance get the project? Could it be because of Brad?

Recalling the tit-for-tat confrontation between Brad and Lance before, this immediately made the reporters excited, and a 10,000-word intrigue court drama was automatically written in their heads.

Brad knew that he had to speak at this time, so he seized the opportunity and said with a smile, "I believe there will always be opportunities in the future. After all, Lance's recent performance is obvious to all." attack resolved. However, at this time, Brad has already taken the passivity, and the reporters' brains will not stop for a short time.

At this time, George also understood the real purpose of Lance's actions today: to take the initiative to reverse the situation!

During the entire publicity period of "The Day After Tomorrow", Lance was absent from the publicity, but handed over to the three leading actors to go to the front of the stage; Especially the confrontation between Lance and Brad has become the headlines of the major newspapers. Under such circumstances, Lance simply pushed the boat along, grasped the timing accurately, and appeared on the premiere of "Troy".

Lance's move itself was beyond everyone's expectations, which allowed him to take the relative initiative. It is conceivable that after today, the confrontation between the two films will become more and more heated, and the media attention will also increase steadily. Both "Troy" and "The Day After Tomorrow" will definitely benefit, but the real winner is the latter. By. "Troy" spent more than five million dollars to create today's world premiere, and Lance made a free publicity for "The Day After Tomorrow" just by appearing on the stage, not to mention that Lance's performance on the scene also triggered even more Much discussion.

This is really a good move!

George looked at Lance's eyes, and suddenly became meaningful—this is not the Lance he knew, so cunning, so wise, so stable, no, absolutely not. So what went wrong?

It seems that everyone has forgotten an extremely important thing, that is - the premiere of "Troy" today is a simultaneous global premiere, and five cities including London, Berlin, Tokyo, New York and Los Angeles are linked and held a grand ceremony simultaneously. Grand premiere. In other words, now that Lance is on the global stage, although for most people in overseas markets, Lance is a face so unfamiliar that they hardly have any impression, but after today, things will start to change. Same up.

"Who is this?"

In addition to New York, audiences in London, Berlin and Tokyo all asked the same question. Although after the Oscars, Lance's face is no longer completely unfamiliar, but no one can deny that in terms of recognition, Lance is indeed far from being outstanding, not to mention that "the day after tomorrow" has not yet Spread the word globally. Even at the Los Angeles and New York premieres, a small number of audiences were confused:

Who the hell is this guy? Why did Brad and George greet them personally? As soon as he appeared, why did all the reporters go on alert? What is going on? And...even standing next to Brad and George, his demeanor is not inferior, and it is almost impossible to look away. Who is he!

"That's Lancelot Strelo, the director of 'The Day After Tomorrow'." Someone in the crowd couldn't wait to popularize science, and after finishing speaking, they screamed excitedly, "He's really charming, isn't he Is it? God, I just want to throw myself at his feet, even with Brad and George right next to him."

George Clooney and Brad Pitt, Hollywood's famous hot/sexy handsome guys, are popular all over the world, but at this moment, Lancelot Strelow standing next to them is not inferior, even better , the charm that settles down like red wine makes people blush and heartbeat.

This summer drama has just been unveiled!
