Hollywood legendary director

At the beginning of the lights, Robinson-Oli, who had been busy all day carrying a briefcase, left the Wall Street Stock Exchange and walked towards the crossroads of Broadway Avenue.

He is a newly hired securities trader. Of course, the business is not going well.

In this line, qualifications and achievements are particularly important.

Waiting for the taxi to go home, Robinson-Oli, who was upset, saw the owner of a newsstand not far away packing his things and preparing to leave.

Thinking that he was in a hurry this morning and forgot to buy a copy of the Los Angeles Times as usual, Robinson-Oli moved quickly to the newsstand.

"Hi, boss," he greeted with a smile, and waited for the other party to stop his tidying up before continuing, "Can you give me a copy of the Los Angeles Times?"

"of course."

There is a business coming to the door, so naturally it needs to be received.

The newsstand owner stopped busy, turned back and took out the latest "Los Angeles Times" from the arranged newspapers, "Here, 2 dollars."

"It's another Monday. Seeing you clean up so late, business is very good today." Robinson Ollie asked while taking out his change.

The newsstand owner took it, and the joy appeared, even the wrinkles on the corners of his mouth became deeper and deeper, "Yes, the Christmas stall is coming, and my work is also busy. Of course this is a great thing, you know? Today, I sold a total of 634 newspapers, almost three times more than usual."

The Christmas stalls every year are good news for newspapers, news magazines, and even newsstand owners who sell these.

There are endless film promotion, noisy scandals and hype, hot box office battles...the media has no shortage of topics to write about, and the audience's reading enthusiasm is gradually rising under the impetus of this momentum.

Robinson Ollie took the "Los Angeles Times" and pretended to look down at his watch, "It's getting late, I'm going home, and I'll talk later."

After saying goodbye to the owner of the newsstand, Robinson Ollie walked quickly towards an intersection on Broadway Avenue."I wish you a good dream." A polite politeness came from behind.

After getting in a taxi, he raised his voice and said: "The Liwen community near Rockefeller Plaza." Robinson-Oli then folded the newspaper into his briefcase and fell to rest.

After a while, he felt that the speed of the taxi began to slow down. Robinson-Oli, who had been keeping his eyes closed, couldn't help but open his eyes and looked out the window.

Then, he found a long line of cars ahead.

Although the rather bad traffic situation in Manhattan has become the norm, it is now more than eight o'clock in the evening. It is reasonable to avoid the rush hour after get off work, but there is still a traffic jam. This helpless situation.

Robinson-Oli couldn't help complaining a few times, and his heart became more irritable.

The taxi driver seemed to feel that Robinson Ollie was in a bad mood, and said with relief: "Don't worry, I have experience. I bet we will be able to pass this crowded intersection in less than 10 minutes. It will be much better."

"Yeah." In a simple response, Robinson Oli looked at the LED advertising column that stood on the side of the road.

"Boom..."

On the screen of the advertising pillar, a cannonball roared and hit the ground, exploding a large hole to kick off the curtain.

Robinson Ollie became interested. This seemed to be a trailer for a movie, and he continued to focus his attention.

The picture on the screen continued. There were countless bombers across the blue sky, all of a sudden, very spectacular.

A lieutenant colonel in military uniform looked at this scene with a binoculars, with joy.

Then, the screen turned, and suddenly the words "November 22" appeared on the darkened screen. Then, a high-altitude aerial shot of the battlefield flashed quickly, smog filled with gunfire... .. eventually converged into the words "Furious".

Robinson Ollie, who was sitting in the taxi, was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Only one thought was repeated in his heart: I am going to watch this movie.

......

Hans Zimmer finally matched the appropriate tune for the movie, and when it was actually recorded, Lehmann finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For more than half a month, he kept adjusting the genre, auditioning, and giving suggestions for improvement. For a time, Lyman's ability to distinguish music disappeared, and everything he listened to felt the same.

Fortunately, after this final manual adjustment, it was also on October 28 that all the post-production work was completed.

The 117-minute theater release of "Furious" was officially announced, and the entire production cost was fixed at $52.34 million.

This 117-minute video is devoted to the efforts and efforts of many people. Compared with the original version, they are two completely different stories, and the focus of the overall structure is also different.

After everything was completed, Europa Pictures backed up a copy as usual, and then immediately sent the final version of the film to mpaa in the United States for another classification review report.

Since the beginning of the film editing has been completed, it has been reviewed once, so the procedures for this review were handled quickly.

The whole film of "Furious" contains both swear words, violence, blood and other content. It is impossible to get any g-level ideas, and because the depiction of the battlefield camera is too naked, the frontal description of the broken arm is all There are several paragraphs, so mpaa directly gave an R-level rating.

R level: It means the limit level.

It means that young people under the age of 17 are recommended to watch with an adult.

This classification does not have any impact on the film "Furious", because the market positioning it shoots is not focused on teenagers, but on adults who know what war is and want to see similar scenes.

As early as a week ago, the first 50-second trailer was posted on the advertising time of major TV stations for promotion.

Immediately after that, a week later, another 30-second or so edited trailer appeared on the rest period during a game of the NCAA Tournament, and will continue to be played three times repeatedly, but at the cost of Paramount Pictures To pay 1.5 million US dollars for this.

Although a little expensive, the publicity effect of this kind of sports event has always been very good.

With a national audience rating of close to 9 o'clock, if the advertisements for the intermission of the game can be seen by half of the audience on the TV and leave an impression, it is also an extremely large group.

And this is not the only rigid advertisement for "Furious". Important "ticket warehouse" cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Chicago all have similar publicity activities.

The publicity posters of the movie are all posted on buses, subway stations and other places. Although they are not fully covered, they are close to always being able to find a publicity of "Furious" in a public place with a lot of people. The point of the poster.

As a result, the high-density distribution costs are naturally not low. The promotion of the entire hard-broadcasting plan has already cost Paramount Pictures a budget of no less than 30 million U.S. dollars, and this number is still rising daily.

Around November 17, the last wave of offensive before the release was also rapidly unfolding.

The starring teams such as Nicholas Cage, Heath Ledger, and Joe Boenser began to frequently contact the media.

Paramount Pictures may have just accepted a column interview from the "New York Daily" under the arrangement of Paramount Pictures, and in the next moment, I will receive a news interview from the "Chicago Daily".

The distribution department of Paramount Pictures is in touch every day. They have only one goal: more interviews, more news headlines.

Under this madness, talk shows with huge ratings will naturally not forget to contact.

Several of the main creators who participated in "Saturday Night Live" only last week came to the scene of "Late Night Talk Show".

In the well-equipped recording room, Heath Ledger and Nicholas Cage in casual suits were sitting on the red sofa. Conan O'Brien, the host behind the wooden table next to them, looked at them and suddenly smiled and asked: " Cage, how did it feel to be judged some time ago, do you have anything to say?"

The audience below exclaimed in response to the host's question.

Sitting Nicholas Cage, he didn't seem to feel any temper because of this rather embarrassing question. He smiled slightly, knowing in his heart that these talk shows were asking like this to create topicality.

"I think it's not bad. It's also another serious loss in my acting career. I think back to the beginning, it seems that I encountered this situation when I first debuted. Their criticism made me regain the past. Memories, I am very grateful to them." Nicholas Cage said in a serious tone, as if the failure of "The Wind Whisperer" seemed to him to be a good way to remember the past.

His rather inverted answer also made the audience laugh.

The exaggeration of the audience shouting also made Heath Ledger on the side amused.

Conan O'Brien pressed his hand and looked at Heath Ledger with a smile on his face, "You also participated in this movie. If you are asked to comment on Nicholas Cage's performance during the filming, What would you say about acting?"

"I think he is great, he doesn't tend to dedicate a wonderful performance in "Leaving Las Vegas"."

Conan O'Brien said with a serious face: "Oh, really, his performance inside can really bring him back a golden man again?"

"Leaving Las Vegas" is the film in which Nicholas Cage won the Oscar for Best Actor.

Heath Ledger nodded confidently, "Of course, I think his performance is very good. Then the movie will be released. After you watch it, you may have the same idea as me."

"..."

After finishing recording the show exhaustedly, then I am ready to leave for Nevada to promote...

For the movie, they are running around...
