Hollywood Drawing

At the beginning of the summer season, it would not be a complete summer season without various celebrity scandals.

Since Hollywood entered commercialization, movie fans have actually become accustomed to this over the years. If you observe carefully, movie fans will also find that the stars involved in scandals are usually the main characters in films that are about to be released or have already been released.

No matter in which era, blind movie fans still account for the majority. This group of people usually simply give up watching a certain movie because they hate a certain star.

It's just that this feeling of disgust mostly comes from the publicity and hype in the media and the opinions of family and friends around me. Maybe today they are still vowing that they will never buy tickets to watch a work of a certain annoying star. Tomorrow, if the tone of the media changes, their decision will also change.

And this is the fundamental purpose of publicity and marketing. The public always has a herd mentality.

On the morning of May 11th, Warner Bros. suddenly released another trailer for "Wonder Woman". Different from the previous trailer, which lasted for up to 30 seconds, this time Warner Bros. released it through its TV stations, video store advertising screens, and commercials. The three-minute trailer was released on big screens on the streets of the district.

This three-minute trailer, carefully edited by Warner Bros. and Wayne, immediately caused a huge sensation when it appeared across North America.

In the center of Santa Monica Place, the famous business district of Los Angeles, Dior's fashion advertising blockbuster was suddenly interrupted on the 24-hour advertising screen of the building. Then bursts of low electronic music, through the loudspeakers around the square, gradually overwhelmed the conversations of everyone present.

This is the most prosperous area in Los Angeles. Whether they are tourists checking in or passers-by, their attention is attracted by the electronic music.

In the center of the square, people talking in low voices slowly raised their heads in confusion, looking for the source of the sudden music.

"oh my god!"

An African-American girl raised her head and immediately noticed that the giant screen in the square that had just been playing a commercial was now completely dark. But then, when a low drum beat began to appear in the electronic music, the giant screen in the square instantly lit up.

At the same time, the girl opened her mouth and exclaimed involuntarily when she saw the picture.

"Oh my god, this is...Wonder Woman?!"

"What? What the hell?"

"Look at the advertising screen!"

"."

More and more people raised their heads and set their eyes on the advertising screen amid exclamations.

On the giant screen that turns from black to bright, accompanied by the music of "is she with you", the first thing that appears in front of people's eyes is a battlefield. The camera used a long shot to clearly capture the ruins of the entire battlefield and the environment of heavy artillery fire in less than three seconds.

Then the camera quickly zoomed in, directly focusing on a figure that was incompatible with the surrounding environment. Slowly moving up her long white legs, first the leg armor, the skirt, and then the rope around her waist, deliberately stopping for a second or so before continuing to move up.

The whole process was very fast, as if there was no time left for the audience to think. A bullet was fired directly at the woman in the camera in front of everyone's eyes in high-speed slow motion. …

"What the f**k?"

"What did she do?"

Until then, the picture on the big screen suddenly accelerated. Amid people's exclamations, Wonder Woman raised her arms, blocked the bullets fired at herself, and then began to follow the rhythm of the nerve-provoking music in the background, on the battlefield. Rush forward quickly.

Each shot lasted no more than two seconds. She seemed not to be tired and was fighting non-stop. The editing speed of the footage is getting faster and faster. With the background music, more and more people feel excited and stare at the big screen.

"Weng~"

Something unexpected happened, the constantly changing camera stopped abruptly, and the volume of the music from behind also instantly decreased. The camera finally freezes on the front of the fully armed Wonder Woman, giving her a clear close-up of the battlefield.

Without waiting for people to take a breath or allowing the audience to think, the final shot seemed to have passed through a long period of time in a short period of time and gradually turned into a gray-yellow photo.

In this old photo taken on the battlefield, many people have spotted familiar faces. Not only is Wonder Woman Angelina Jolie, but beside her is Matt Damon, who is becoming increasingly famous.

"master?"

"God, it's Bruce, Bruce Wayne!"

Here, Wayne used the most common information hint. The camera zoomed in on Christian Bale's eyes. The next shot clearly told the audience that this was the scene in his memory.

Bruce Wayne, who was wearing a jet-black Bat suit, was leaning against the corner of the dilapidated building in a state of embarrassment. A laser was attacking him. The embarrassed Batman had obviously given up on his own resistance and stared directly at the incoming laser. Be prepared to die.

"boom!"

A woman wearing Valkyrie armor fell from the sky, just like when she resisted bullets on the battlefield at the beginning of the film, with her arms crossed, Bruce Wayne was saved amidst the roar.

"No, Clark, no, you can't do this!"

The camera suddenly turned, and a tall and strong figure, who looked like a model in the distance, floated in mid-air and looked at the woman with her arms crossed.

This was the last scene in this memory. Immediately afterwards, the camera suddenly switched again, and the center point became Wonder Woman again.

Accompanied by this is the increasingly high-pitched background music.

She crashed through the castle with a shield in hand, fighting an enemy non-stop. It's like she's demonstrating her fighting skills in all directions. Her strong, brave, sexy and hot body just gives everyone an illusion of power.

From beginning to end, the enemies fighting Wonder Woman were never shown their faces in the camera. But before the trailer ends, the clues given are obvious enough: the opponent is Ares, the God of War, Wonder Woman's archenemy and the number one villain in DC comics.

"ah!"

Angelina Jolie in the picture shouted and waved her fists under everyone's gaze. The trailer ends right here, and the super-burning music that echoes through Santa Monica Square also comes to an end.

"oh my god! oh my god!"

The African-American girl who was the first to look up at the trailer kept mumbling to herself and shaking her boyfriend beside her. "Did you see it? Did you see it? She's Wonder Woman, oh my god, who cares who she is in real life, we can't give up on this movie. Damn, she's so cool, so cool Got it!”…

"It's so handsome. This is the first time for me to feel that a woman can be so handsome!"

“It would be great if I could see the movie today.”

There are constant discussions around. There are many couples and friends like the African-American girls. Anyone who sees this trailer will undoubtedly be excited by its super irritating picture.

This ultimate trailer caused a sensation all over North America. The publicity team led by Bruce Rosenblum did not pay attention to the smear campaign against Angelina Jolie in the media, even though most of the so-called revelations can actually be said to be true.

As he and Wayne said, no matter how much PR Warner Bros. does, the impact of this aspect cannot be eliminated.

So he simply set his goal directly on the movie itself. Some of the scenes in this final trailer were originally planned to be included in the Easter eggs of "Wonder Woman". It was just to increase the influence of the series of films, so he chose to release them in advance and did not get Wayne's approval. be opposed to.

At the same time, Angelina Jolie once again appeared on a talk show. While promoting the upcoming "Wonder Woman", she was inevitably asked some questions about herself, Wayne, and even the film. controversy.

"Everyone has a rebellious period, right? I'm very lucky to have met Wayne. He told me as early as when we met that if you really love this profession, you should mature. Although a bad girl is cool , but it’s definitely not cooler than being a female star!”

"What? Is "Wonder Woman" the next "Cutthroat Island"? I don't think so. In fact, one of my friends in the industry once watched a test screening of "Pearl Harbor" and said: I said, "Pearl Harbor" is more similar to "Cutthroat Island".

Want to hear what he had to say about the film? "Pearl Harbor" is a war movie in the guise of a war movie, but in fact it is a bloody love triangle story. As for more, I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to reveal more. I suggest that these be left to the fans to evaluate after the film is released. "

On May 12th, the day before the premiere of "Wonder Woman", as one of the hottest names at the moment, Angelina Jolie was having a dinner with her actor father, and the entire process was photographed by the paparazzi. Come down.

Many leaked photos show that the two people were talking and laughing. Angelina Jolie took off her couture dress. No matter from her outfit or her bare face, she looked more like a very beautiful woman. An ordinary girl who is attached to her father's love.

Just after the dinner, many paparazzi once again surrounded Jon Voyint. Faced with the questions from the paparazzi, the Oscar-winning actor happily accepted the interview.

He told everyone that he was glad that his rebellious daughter had matured, and vowed that he would attend his daughter's movie premiere to express his full support for her.

"Hey, she's just an ordinary girl. Your excessive demonization has caused her a lot of trouble." This was the last roar left by Jon Voyint.

The news in the media is very chaotic. Some are reporting on Angelina Jolie's return as a prodigal son, some are reporting on all kinds of dirty information about her before, and some are hyping up the many movies of "Pearl Harbor" and "Cutthroat Island". The similarities are such that some media even went to Michael Bay's doorstep to ask for his opinion on the adjective "love triangle." …

All kinds of news are flying all over the sky. Warner Bros. and Disney are going all out to promote their own films, and at the same time they are throwing dirty water on each other.

It is against this background that the final sprint before the release of "Wonder Woman" is about to end, and a new North American summer weekend is about to kick off.

Looking back at summer vacations in previous years, basically every weekend, there will be multiple movies released with a production cost of more than 10 million US dollars. Even some of the more popular weekend schedules have become the battlegrounds that super blockbusters are competing for.

But it just so happened that in early May, when the summer season started, the entire North American theater market fell into a strange vacuum. Many movie fans and film critics have discovered that from May to now, there are only a few small-budget independent films released, and even one with an investment of more than 10 million US dollars cannot be found.

Everyone actually knows why. No matter how many topics surround Wayne Greenberg, it can't change the fact. That dark madman took nearly ten years to completely establish his power at the beginning of the summer season.

There were many people who tried to challenge him, but looking at the results over the years, it seems that under any circumstances, it was Wayne Greenberg who won in the end.

Some relevant people even came forward and said that a common characteristic of Wayne Greenberg's movies is that no matter what kind of competitors he encounters, he will be the final winner. What’s even more outrageous is that he, the big winner, always takes everything.

There is actually nothing wrong in saying this. In recent years, it can be said that the only one that can successfully achieve outstanding box office results under the squeeze of Wayne's films is "Jurassic Park 2".

But what does this mean? Does this mean that Steven Spielberg is not as good as his good friend in terms of market control? Or does it mean that Steven Spielberg performed so well that he didn’t let Wayne’s film take over for the first time?

At least until now, no one was stupid enough to talk to Steven Spielberg about it.

Warner Bros. invested US$200 million in production costs alone for "Wonder Woman," and the amount invested in publicity and distribution will never be less than half and a half of the production costs.

It is an investment that can be called a gamble of the century. Of course they want to achieve excellent box office results, and they will not be stingy with the expenditure on hosting the premiere.

At 5 pm on May 13th, local time in Los Angeles, a show that was claimed to cost three million US dollars was officially staged at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Since the afternoon, a large number of movie fans and reporters have gathered here. Regardless of whether "Wonder Woman" has been controversial during this period, they are here just to witness the premiere of the film.
