Made in Hollywood

Back in the high-end business suite he stayed in, Allen didn't take a rest like Kunites did. Instead, he turned on the computer in the room, logged in to the Explosive Maniac section on the film and television website, and entered the chat room.

This small chat room has grown from dozens of people at first to hundreds of people.

"The New York premiere should be over."

As soon as he logged in, Allen saw Duke Nukem speaking, "Did anyone watch "Chicago"?"

"I'm going." Alan left a message.

"Is the movie good?"

"Is it boring?"

"The most annoying thing about musicals!"

"Yeah, I don't understand why Duke made a movie like this."

In just ten seconds, a lot of complaints came out below. Allen thought about the movie he wanted to watch, which was definitely different from the original musical impression.

He quickly tapped the keyboard with both hands, "Actually, we are all influenced by our inherent concepts. This is not a musical in the 1960s and 1970s. Except for the lack of fights and explosions, the film is full of those movie elements that we like and Duke is good at. For example, gorgeous visual images, fast-paced short-shot switching, bringing the audience to the scene from the first point of view, and beauties, a large number of beautiful and sexy beauties, they danced the most seductive dances...especially one of the prisons. Tango, when you see Catherine Zeta Jones flick her thighs, your blood goes out."

Just after Allen's was sent out, Rose Mountain suddenly flashed out, "I can prove that I just attended the premiere! Not only are there beauties, but the film is very happy, the singing and dancing scenes are wild and wild, and they are all wearing the shortest dance clothes. Sexy beauty, Zeta Jones, hand-picked by Duke, is absolutely gorgeous."

Nothing wakes up the beasts of the web like beauty.

"Looks like I really should go and see..."

"Well...I'm now considering whether to change my mind."

Alan took advantage of this time to post another post. "The singing and dancing are sexy and wonderful, and the film is full of dark humor. I watched it and laughed a dozen times. It was very interesting."

Another account called Velma jumped out, "I also watched the premiere, and I love Velma to death. Zeta Jones is beautiful, singing and dancing are also great, this is not a musical film!"

"In that case, I want to go and see it." Duke Nukem was obviously moved, "I ask if there are still tickets for the midnight show?"

Rose Hill went on to remind him, "This film does not have a midnight show, and it will be officially released in the daytime tomorrow."

"I just called and asked around." Private Rescue Ryan, who had apparently been diving, came to the fore. "The three theaters in my small town don't show "Chicago", I'm mad at me!"

"My house is also..."

An ID named Jack said, "After listening to Rose Hill's words, I hurriedly called to book a ticket. I'm in Chicago. Listening to the tone of the theater, the ticket seems to be very nervous."

"It won't be so hot, will it?"

"As expected of a Duke and Tom Cruise movie!"

Seeing that more and more people in the chat room wanted to buy tickets as soon as possible, Velma and Rose Hill, controlled by Panney Kelly's two assistants, exited the chat room, and Panney Kelly stood in front of the computer. With a thoughtful look on her face, it was obvious that the situation just now had touched her.

"It's like... as if we didn't do anything." She turned to look at Duke, who was chatting with Tina Fey, "and incited a lot of people to buy tickets."

"Panny, you should have heard of it long ago, this is the Internet that is very widely used among young people." Duke turned his head. Looking at his public relations, since he is not an expert himself, he can only say a little bit of common sense, "The Internet can exchange information freely, and the timeliness is unmatched by traditional media, and people who use the Internet are often more blindly obedient."

After all, Panney Kelly is a media public relations expert, and immediately thought of some key points, "That is to say, if we make a fuss on the Internet, we can affect a large number of Internet users, and they will become potential customers of the film?"

She looked at Duke strangely, "So, you want me to find someone to help you build a...personal website?"

"I just want to have a channel where I can speak my own voice outside of traditional media."

Hearing Duke's words, Penny Kelly nodded and continued, "According to the survey results you have asked, the majority of Internet users in North America are young people and students, and these people are not the real "Chicago". Potential audience..."

"So, I just let you into the film and television section about me." Duke took the water that Tina Fey handed him and Kelly respectively, took a sip, and added, "It's still the most clicked website on the Internet. Post some related news.”

"We've reached an agreement with them." Panney Kelly looked at the time. "It should be on the front page of their website."

She walked to the computer and whispered a few words to the assistant. The assistant immediately logged in to a website. Duke and Tina Fey also walked over, but when he saw the name of the website the assistant logged in, he suddenly I have the urge to shoot myself to death.

This website with advertisements and news related to "Chicago" hangs in a prominent position on the homepage, and its name is "Yahoo"!

For more than 20 years, those things that have nothing to do with movies are really almost forgotten!

With a sigh in my heart, Duke has returned to normal. In the past, he was just the most ordinary netizen after his busy work. Whoever has nothing to do to check the specific information of Yahoo or something, it will be hell if he can leave a deep impression. .

"Take this website down," Duke whispered, turning to Tina Fey. "Go back and check its basics."

It seems that the boss is surnamed Yang or Yuan? Duke shook his head and looked back to check whether the other party was listed and how the listing was going. Perhaps the name of another stock could be added to the investment list.

Throwing this aside for a while, Duke stood in front of the computer and looked at a new review article about "Chicago" on Yahoo's homepage, knowing that the era of everyone being a film critic was about to begin.

However, this commentary report is different from the online propaganda that used to be completely without restraint, and it also has the characteristics of deep traditional media.

"The film version of the famous Broadway musical "Chicago" and its launch in New York this year, the characters in the film are all vivid..."

This report lists several highlights of the film - song adaptations, ingenious music, wonderful dance, incredible choreography, and more.

After Duke watched it, he felt very ordinary, in this era. Even the website itself has not grasped the focus of online advertising.

Although he is also a layman, he has always seen some in his previous life. This kind of advertising commentary must capture how beautiful the beauties in the film are and how sexy the smooth thighs are in the dance scene...

However, this online publicity is both a temporary move before his release and an experiment. The main audience of "Chicago" itself is not the groups that now constitute netizens.

Today's network has not been taken seriously by Hollywood, and even few traditional media groups take computer networks seriously.

Because "Chicago" didn't have a midnight show, Duke went back to his Upper East Side home to rest after a few words with Panney Kelly about building a personal website.

Thursday's night was fading, and Friday's sun lit up the Big Apple sky again. Retired Richard Thomas came back from a walk in a park on Long Island, walked to his detached house, took out today's "New York Times" from the mailbox, walked across the level lawn, and entered the room. First fill up a pot of hot coffee for yourself, then sit by the sunny window and read the newspaper.

He's a long-time Broadway fan, and he's heard that the movie version of "Chicago" is coming out today. Specially turned to the entertainment page, ready to see the film review of the film. Only when he flips to the familiar column full of rants about "Star Trek: First Strike" and praising "The English Patient" that last night's premiere of "Chicago" seems to be overlooked again?

Richard Thomas shook his head and looked elsewhere in the entertainment section. He doesn't understand what these film critics are being hypocritical about. Can they really ban the young director? The New York Times still had a story about the film on the front page.

"Chicago, a victory for the Hollywood genre!"

Seeing the signature under the title, Richard Thomas became interested. This is a commentary by the famous drama critic Linda Whitley.

"The story of the film is similar to the musical version as a whole, but it was repackaged by director Duke Rosenberg in a modern film style. Although the theme is the core of fame, fortune and desire that Hollywood movies have repeatedly sold, "Chicago" It is a musical, but it is not a musical in the typical sense. It uses a different image style to reflect the fusion, transformation and innovation of different types of films in the historical changes!

"The musical films produced by Duke Rosenberg have obviously been re-improved by him, and the characteristics of film noir are deeply immersed in them. "It also reveals all kinds of charms in the fragrance, and the perfect combination of grand singing and dancing performances and low-key gloomy black style highlights the multiple characteristics of the film."

"With 'Chicago,' audiences can get, not deep thinking, but a beautiful, diverse, complex viewing experience that embodies Duke Rosenberg's consistently good quality and tradition—production Sophisticated, timely and innovative!"

"It can be said that "Chicago" is a gorgeous transformation of musicals. The transition, integration and interaction of musical and dance scenes and real scenes are stronger than the musical version, and it breaks through the blunt method of simply inserting song and dance paragraphs in traditional musicals. "

"Duke Rosenberg made excellent use of the strong drama and deductiveness of musicals, completely serving the purpose of satire, exposing the rotten state of sensuality and reversal of black and white; at the same time, the elements of film noir were almost perfectly injected into the film. in every scene.”

"Also, the lighting, tone and other aspects of the film are carefully thought out, giving the film a gloomy, bloody flavor in addition to the wildness and cigarettes!"

Seeing this, Richard Thomas closed the newspaper, determined that he had planned to go to the movie, and planned to go directly to the theater to buy tickets after lunch. (To be continued ~^~)
