Hollywood legendary director

Jayden, an ordinary person who calls this name without the surname on the busy street, at least several people who respond will appear.

Of course, he is now unemployed.

The wind on the winter night did not feel cool on his face, but could not extinguish the heat in his heart, so that he could calm down.

He is 27 years old this year, the age when he should start a family, but he has no job.

In the morning, he went to the recruitment market for a day and found nothing. It was full of people, except that there were no opportunities for jobs.

It's a pity, very sorrowful, he is not likely to show some superficial emotions in the eyes of outsiders, but his heart will still tell him that there are really unpleasant feelings.

Before the sky was completely dark, Jayden returned home.

There is no special police station in his community, so he never stays in the streets and alleys late at night.

After all, the crime rate in the suburbs of New York is high, not just knowing, hearing, or even seeing.

The sounds of fighting, verbal abuse, calls for help, including gunfire are all part of this place.

After closing the door, Jayden sat on an old sofa and turned on the TV dullly.

He doesn't like watching TV, but the extra sound makes him more comfortable.

Then, he inadvertently raised his interest because of a notice.

Spaceships, ruins, prawns, serious politicians.

Just looking at these, many viewers will think that this is a story about the earth's people defending their homeland and resisting alien colonists, because after the rise of alien themes, it is basically this routine, or it is an entanglement with humans, and it is goodwill.

For Jayden, life is already terrible, so why not watch an interesting movie?

Although he has no job, it does not mean that he has no money, or that he can still afford the $7 expenditure.

The trailer is written on November 7, and the director is also a familiar name. Although he doesn’t like many of the director’s works, his favorite themes are action and science fiction, like "Bad Guy", He likes "Water Monster in the Lake" very much. For him, love, love, or disclosure of a certain point of view is not as deep as the impact of real experience.

He is already very tired and does not want to be unhappy in the theater.

Many people say that Hollywood has special art theaters that provide screening thresholds. This is actually correct, but art movies still cannot be sold in Hollywood, and they still have poor results.

It’s just that literary and artistic films help to condense the label. A less appropriate analogy is that literary and artistic films are like serious books, while commercial films are cool and mindless. The former has a small audience but good works will be admired. There are so many people who can't get on the "table".

But when Jayden started looking forward to the movie, he discovered that there were advertisements for this movie everywhere.

In fact, the publicity of "The Ninth District" has been underway for several weeks. The main actors and creators have started to frequently appear on shows and press releases. Both well-known and unknown radio stations have gone to several stations, but Jayden is worried about unemployment. Not aware of it at all.

So when he really got into his heart, everything he had overlooked appeared beside him.

Walking on the street, the largest billboard is printed with the appearance of prawns, and slogans with similar elements can be seen in the poster boards in bus stops, parks, and squares.

Even most newspapers gave praises of "wait and see", because most media people or film critics who rely on film and television services for dinner, if they rank a director's list in their minds, Lehman-Last relies on 2 degrees. Nominated for the best director Oscar, received the best picture, the best foreign language, and the international awards and the not-so-famous film festival affirmation, has long proved his talent, enough to enter the top five.

People are always like this, and their eyes will be given priority to those celebrities who are full of light, unless the movie is really not good, then it seems not too late to criticize.

By the way, although the influence of paper media is declining, Blue Butterfly Pictures still paid a public relations fee to ask them to promote the film.

Moreover, it will be clear within a few days.

......

November 6th, Thursday morning, around 10 o'clock.

In a hotel not far from the Chinese Grand Theater, Lyman, Liam and others entertained reporters and friends who came.

Tonight’s premiere, we need the help of these people. If we don’t report it, how can we increase our influence and popularity?

Furthermore, this kind of first-hand propaganda needs more attention than the previous warm-up, because people always judge certain things with their first impression, and most people will wait and see how to transform their expectations into movie-watching motivation. To see whether the evaluation of the film is as good as the boasting, of course you will keep a certain amount of attention to these evaluations——

Although the evaluation of film critics is no longer the most intuitive manifestation of affecting the box office performance of a movie, if all of them are bad, it will definitely make some fans lose their interest in watching the movie and lose their intention.

Moreover, Lehman’s expectations for "District Nine" are more than just the box office, so the first impression of the media people is even more important. They can influence many judges’ consideration of the film, and in order to allow the media and film critics to give the film a For objective and positive articles, in addition to the necessary monetization fees and transportation subsidies, Lehman invited Landie Pictures to buy advertising space in the newspaper where they worked.

In other words, because of the temporary relationship between the sponsors, the attitudes of these people are also very close. Even if it is not for money, some of the films that Lehman himself made can still move people.

"Mr. Luster, the film is rated R. Can you talk about this part? I'm curious about the reason for commenting?"

This is a reporter from the "Film Pioneer". Unlike other newspapers, they like to take root in the film and television industry and do not report news in other directions.

"There was a staff member at the MPAA who kindly reminded me that if some of the violent and bloody scenes in the film can be deleted, this film can be classified as PG-13, but what I want to say is that if there are no such scenes, this The mood in the movie is not so strong. Sometimes, violence is just a kind of venting, not dispensable."

"Then what do you think of your own movie? Or the purpose of shooting?"

"There is nothing very special. When you have inspiration, shoot it. This is what the director will do. The words and opinions to be said are all in "The Ninth District."

"..."

Similar interviews are already familiar to Lehman, and the scene comes with open mouth.

Anyway, it seems to have said a lot, but actually didn't say anything, leaving enough room for suspense.

Because he knows that the more detailed the description, the less surprises the film will give people. For that turning point, there is not even a trace of the protagonist's position in the publicity topics formulated.

After all, the greatest charm and sublimation of "District Nine" are all after the "transformation". This is also the core setting of the film's success, which of course cannot be explained in advance.

After completing the interview successfully, Lehman gave these reporters and media people a small gift as usual.

Everyone accepts it with no surprises, and you will have a certain understanding of the draft after the night premiere.

Of course, extreme flattery and excessive derogation actually rarely appear among film critics. They themselves have a certain degree of professionalism, but the language is a very clever knowledge. They are obviously the same point of view, but they will be able to use different modifiers. It looks different, doesn't it.
