Hollywood Drawing

There was a sea of ​​people in front of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Bella Grant and her old photographer partner crowded in the press area and looked at the crazy movie fans opposite.

The theater had deployed more than a dozen security guards, but they still could not control the enthusiasm of the fans. On such a momentous day, everyone is afraid of uncontrollable problems. The staff of Warner Bros. simply called the police. In front of the red carpet, let the police control the order of the scene.

"I just received news that the red carpet for "Die Hard 3" next door is almost over. All the stars invited by 20th Century Fox to stand on the stage have already entered the Los Angeles Temple Theater, but we haven't done it here yet. start!"

The photographer looked at the large number of movie fans opposite who were gradually being controlled by the police. He lowered his head and glanced at his wrist. Brick said to his old partner.

Bella Grant also noticed his movements and glanced at her wrist subconsciously. It was already 8:20. Because of the large number of fans and to prevent stampedes, the crew and creators have never dared to walk on the red carpet. .

Not only did the Warner Bros. staff check the time frequently, but even the reporters waiting in the media area were anxious.

"It's about to begin." Bella Grant looked towards the beginning of the red carpet and noticed that Wayne's car was already driving slowly. Before the car stopped, she asked her old partner in a low voice. "How is the situation over there? It can't be as hot and chaotic as ours, right?"

"The atmosphere is not bad." The photographer said as he pushed forward and brought the camera hanging around his neck to his eyes, ready to start taking pictures at any time.

"Bruce Wesley's appeal is very good. Roger Ebert also flew here from Chicago to attend the premiere of "Die Hard 3". This film critic can also influence a large number of old movie fans. , I just don’t know how much ‘guidance money’ 20th Century Fox spent on public relations for him!”

“Not less than a million dollars!”

The reporter from the "Hollywood Daily Entertainment News" who was next to him also heard what he said. They were all acquaintances, so they couldn't help but chat with each other.

"If you want to invite that old vampire and let him start campaigning for the film before it's even released, the public relations costs are definitely not a small amount, at least a million dollars."

If we say who knows those film critics best, they, senior journalists, definitely know the rules as well as the film companies.

Pulitzer Prize winner Roger Ebert will not be affected by public relations. Every time he judges a film, he stands from a neutral point of view. This statement is just to deceive movie fans. Otherwise, what will he use if he only relies on the income from writing columns? Why can I hire a housekeeper and a group of servants when I buy a large villa in the suburbs of Chicago?

"coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and all the reporters started to click the shutter frantically. In an instant, the light of the flash illuminated the red carpet in white.

Seeing dozens of police officers, they had appeased the fans and formed a human wall. The door of the Rolls-Royce was opened from the inside. Wayne, wearing a black slim-fitting suit that had never changed forever, walked up alone. on the red carpet.

"Wayne! Wayne..."

"Hey, Wayne, ugh!"

Facing the shouts of countless fans, Wayne didn't dare to stop at all. There were hundreds of fans at the scene, and they were frantically attacking the police defense line. It was even more impossible for him to stop and sign autographs to those furious young men and women.

Usually when walking on the red carpet or attending events, he would accommodate his female companions, give them enough photo opportunities, and let reporters take more photos. But today, he was alone and simply ignored the calls of reporters and fans and went straight to Go to the theater door.

"Aren't we going to interview Wayne Greenberg?" the photographer asked anxiously when his partner didn't move.

Since she is here to attend the premiere, the purpose of sending Bella Grant here is simple: to use her connections to get first-hand interviews with the film's creative team.

"Don't worry." The beauty editor glanced at the reporters on his side. Many of them had already ran to the interview area and surrounded Wayne tightly. "The show is yet to come. Wayne Greenberg is not the star of the red carpet. Get your equipment ready. It should start soon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the huge speakers that had been arranged in advance suddenly sounded low music. This is the background music specially created for Batman by Hans Zimmer's team. The sound is low and full of passion for battle.

Amidst the buzzing sounds of countless people at the scene, the music played by these huge speakers became faster and faster. Many movie fans looked around curiously, not knowing what this was going to do.

"ohmygod!"

"Oh God, Bruce Wayne!?"

"Batman is coming..."

Just before the music reached its climax, a huge roar of motors was heard on the street. With the cooperation of the low music, an extremely powerful and muscular Batmobile rushed out from the street.

This unique way of appearing instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm. This tank has been released in concept drawings, posters and trailers before, but when it actually appeared in reality, fans realized how huge it was. , instantly captured the hearts of countless young boys.

The Batmobile itself weighs several tons, and it feels even more oppressive while driving. It kept playing with the background music and the shouts of countless people at the scene, and stopped at the end of the red carpet.

When the car door was opened and Christian Bale appeared, the reporters went crazy to hand in papers, and many fans were stunned by his appearance.

It's like Bruce Wayne in the movie is really appearing in front of you, with his extremely strong body, wearing a black armor full of technology, and the cape behind him is like a bat's wings, with Batman's unique logo on it.

The only difference is that he did not wear the bat mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

Christian Bale turned around and helped Naomi Watts out of the car. Today's Australian girl is equally sexy and charming, wearing a prosecutor's uniform skirt.

As the two walked hand in hand on the red carpet, the atmosphere was like a boiling pot, and all kinds of shouts could be heard.

"Look." Bella Grant yelled into her partner's ear. "This is the protagonist of today's red carpet, Mr. Bruce Wayne, who came to Los Angeles from the chaotic Gotham City!"

The photographer kept pressing the shutter and shouting. "This plan is simply amazing! F***k! The Warner Bros. PR department has taken marketing to another level."

Bella Grant nodded in agreement and sighed: "No matter what the film looks like, this real Batman will occupy the headlines of many newspapers tomorrow!"

Seeing the two people on the red carpet constantly posing for reporters to take photos and interacting with fans from time to time, she understood that Warner Bros. created this unique way of appearing, and it must be for the male and female protagonists to bear the responsibility. More promotional tasks.

Compared with the director's striding on the red carpet, the two protagonists today can be said to be much more normal. They have been taking care of the needs of media reporters and fans, and even gave fans a close look under the protection of police and security personnel. sign.

When the two of them finally walked into the interview area, Bella Grant was already waiting here in advance. After they signed their names with a pen, she walked up immediately.

"Hi, Christian, Ms. Watts." The beauty editor handed the microphone to the two of them, said hello, and then asked: "I have to say, the way you appeared today was so cool, it was like a superhero coming. , came to save Los Angeles, Mr. Bell, can you talk about why you do this?"

Looking at Bella Grant, Christian Bale's face tightened and was full of seriousness. This issue was communicated in advance. Warner Bros. was doing it to promote the film, and the Los Angeles Times was doing it as a gimmick.

He spoke into the microphone with a heavy voice: "This way of appearing is to commemorate the tragedy when "Joker" was released. Director Wayne Greenberg has always been obsessed with this tragedy and can never forget those who died. By.

So he specially made this Batman and filmed this non-killing superhero, just to use action and influence to tell the majority of movie fans that although our world is not perfect, taking revenge on society is definitely not the best choice!

As the actor of the role of Bruce Wayne, I have always wanted to do something, so we designed this way of appearance, which is to convey Batman's non-killing spirit to the film through our media friends. As long as goodness exists, no one can destroy it! "

Both Warner Bros. and Wayne know that 20th Century Fox's "Die Hard 3" is not a soft persimmon that can be easily handled. If you want to be more confident in winning this time, you have to fight hard. Try to find a way to promote it.

Fortunately, "Batman Begins" has absolutely no shortage of talking points. No matter how opponents try to discredit it, they can always find better ways to promote it.

When Christian Bale finished speaking, Bella Grant continued to ask: "Okay, Mr. Bale, you just mentioned the theme of the film. Can you briefly introduce what happened to Batman in the film?"

"No problem." He knew in his heart that he was now the number one publicity point for the film, and the nationwide publicity campaign starting tomorrow would also focus on him as "Batman", so he would say as much as he could.

"The core of the film's story is about protecting kindness. You will have to find out more in the film yourself, but I can give you a hint. The city of Sodom in the Bible story was the city that was destroyed by God. This city is the core of director Greenberg’s creation.”

After he finished speaking, there was another shout on the red carpet. Liam Neeson, who played Henry Duca, and Ralph Fiennes, who played the Scarecrow, the two actors in "Schindler's List" Familiar faces walked on the red carpet together.
