044 public debut
The concept of the premiere was born very early, but it was not until the simultaneous global premiere of "Star Wars: The Prequels" that it was given special significance..
Before that, the premiere was just a public occasion to tell all the audience that "a new movie is officially released." It was concise and clear; now, the premiere is a highly commercialized ceremony, and the wealthy crew even spends a lot of money. Spend tens of millions of dollars to create a premiere, invite reporters, celebrity guests, and fanatical fans, truly turning the premiere into a show, becoming an important part of the public relations process, and setting the stage for the subsequent commercial gains of the work. Set the stage.
Considering that the level of TV series and movies is very different, only HBO TV series and "Band of Brothers" and "Pacific War" have held premieres specifically for TV series in the world; not only that, the ceremony was also chosen at The most popular and famous premiere venue in Hollywood, the Chinese Theater. The appeal of two big names in the industry, Tom and Steven, is evident..
However, these are only on paper. After all, the hearing is not enough reality. Only when the grand scene at the entrance of the Chinese Theater came into view did Renly truly understand the significance of this premiere..
Sitting in a black limousine sent by HBO TV station, I looked out the window and saw a huge crowd of people standing on the crosswalks on both sides of Hollywood Boulevard. The spacious four-lane had now been blocked by iron railings and turned into a two-lane. The dense crowds The crowds crowded both sides of the road. It looked like there were at least seven or eight hundred people..
The crowd held stills and posters of "Band of Brothers" in their hands, covering the sights, making people deeply feel that even after nine years, this series is still very popular. Occasionally, you can see the "Pacific War" Promotional posters, but there are not many character posters, almost submerged among the familiar faces of "Band of Brothers".
After passing the Kodak Theater and the Captain's Theatre, the iconic temple roof of the Chinese Theater came into view. A red carpet of less than fifty yards was laid between the two stone lions at the entrance. Spread all the way across the road, as the most distinctive landmark building in Hollywood, the Chinese Theater not only reflects Westerners' understanding of Chinese culture, but has also become the number one venue for major premieres. The handprints and footprints of outstanding filmmakers are concentrated on the cement floor at the door, which contrasts beautifully with the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of them..
Countless reporters were standing neatly and fully on both sides of the red carpet. Rows of neatly arranged cannon barrels were aimed at the catwalk channel in the center. More than 60 reporters crowded the line of sight. There is no way to drain the water, and the huge and hollow lenses are like the mouths of giant beasts, opening their bloody mouths, ready to swallow everything that appears in front of them..
The hot air from the sky and the ground hit my face, the surging crowds were like thousands of troops, and I could clearly hear the clang of the fighting and iron horses. The magnificence and splendor of Hollywood slowly unfolded before my eyes like a scroll..
This is just the premiere of a TV series.
Taking a deep breath, Renly opened the car door, stepped on the soft red carpet with his feet, and couldn't help but exert a little force on the soles of his feet. Feeling the sense of down-to-earth reality, he raised his hands to button up his suit and straightened his waist. , and then took the step to embark on his first red carpet trip.
At this time, the red carpet was already very lively. Not far away, you could see David Nutt and Jon Seda just walking up the steps on the roadside. The reporter on the left stopped the two people and had a brief conversation. interview, apparently they arrived just before Renly.
The red carpet on the right is very hot at this time, with Ron Livingston, Donnie Wahlberg, Kirk Acevedo and others Surrounded by everyone, these are all the "Band of Brothers" team. I didn't expect that they would attend the premiere today..
Among the crowd, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Alexander-Skarsgard. Renly thought he was dazzled, but he didn't expect to see the petite figure of Anna-Paquin. The body, surrounded by reporters, showed a bright smile..
Only then did Renly realize that the entire cast of HBO's other popular series "True Blood" came to support him..
Strange and familiar faces mingled in front of his eyes. Renly stepped forward with steady steps to meet him. He was surrounded by restlessness swarming from all directions. The crowds everywhere made it difficult for his eyes to find a place to stay, and he couldn't help but look around. A week later, Renly is figuring out his red carpet skills - should he slow down and show off? Or should we go to the side and revel with the crowd? Or go to the front to communicate with reporters? Otherwise, go to the entrance of the theater and stand with the other cast members？
Without the guidance of an agent, Renly had the illusion of being out of place and at a loss, as if...as if the screams and shouts of the fans did not belong to him, as if the reporters' enthusiasm and initiative did not notice him, and among the waves of red carpets... But he couldn't fit into it, and that weird feeling of loneliness swept over him..
However, Renly did not panic in his steps. He remained calm and moved forward in an orderly manner. He knew clearly in his heart that this is Hollywood and this is the real world. As a complete newcomer, not to mention the audience, maybe even the reporters I can't even call him by his name, so this kind of treatment is completely normal..
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly formed, and the awkward alienation gradually disappeared. He began to gradually adapt to the atmosphere and rhythm of the red carpet. The feeling of standing under the spotlight was not bad..
Bradley Adams had just finished his interview with David Schwimmer when several reporters rushed over.
“After "Friends" ended, the actor's career fell into silence. "Band of Brothers" is his only well-known work. More often, he has now moved behind the scenes. Today, he attended the premiere. Naturally, everyone hopes to dig out more news.
Bradley lowered his head to check the photos in his camera, flipped through them casually, and then raised the camera again, aiming at the beginning of the red carpet, waiting for the next interview-worthy subject to appear. As " As a senior reporter for the entertainment section of The New York Times, his focus is naturally different from entertainment gossip media such as Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and TMZ..
A tall and tall man appeared in the camera. He was wearing a military green suit. Among the depressing tones of black and gray, he looked unique and outstanding. It also matched the theme of "Pacific War" and was pure. The black shirt fits snugly and matches perfectly with the suit. The first button of the suit is buttoned up, which outlines the proportions of the body with wide shoulders and waist. The slender legs easily steal the attention of the eye. ; Her golden brown slightly curly short hair was combed into a retro 28-part length with hair wax. Her whole face was fresh and clear before her eyes. The charm in her every gesture had a special charm that could not be accurately described in words..
If you want to say that this man is shockingly handsome, many reporters present will probably roll their eyes. Alexander Skarsgård, who also appeared on the red carpet, was last year's second-place winner of the world's sexiest man. Everyone The aesthetics of both are completely different, which also determines the different viewing angles..
But Bradley couldn't help but press the shutter in his hand, trying to use film to record the moment when time stopped, just like... just like the moment when fireworks bloom. Everyone likes the splendid colors of fireworks, but they Understand that fireworks are fleeting, and the ultimate beauty makes people happy, but also sad..
who is this？
Question marks appeared in Bradley's mind, but the shutter in his hand could not be stopped at all. When he realized that the man had passed, he subconsciously shouted, "Wait a minute." There was no name, Without a target, the other party would naturally not stop. The noise around him swallowed up Bradley's voice in an instant..
“You are here! Lamy, who was already standing at the door of the theater, quickly came over and gave Renly a big hug excitedly, "I was just thinking about when will you arrive.".”
Today Lamy wore a three-piece suit, which was extremely formal, with a black suit, a black vest, and a black tie, paired with a white shirt. It was a typical standard dress for formal occasions, but the use of the vest still took some ingenuity..
Seeing Lamy's serious look, Renly couldn't help but laugh, "You look like you are going to attend court." The teasing words made Lamy roll his eyes helplessly, and before Lamy could respond, a voice next to him Then a voice came, "Lami, Lamy！”
Bradley quickly passed through the team of his peers and walked to Lamy's side. Since there were no reporters around who cared about Renly's identity, Bradley's movements were effortless - the scene was really too lively. It's too confusing. Renly is a unknown and unfamiliar face. Even if his appearance is somewhat attractive, this is Hollywood. Everyone's appearance has their own characteristics. How can reporters care? Even Marilyn Monroe went through a long period of obscurity of nearly five years after her debut..
“Lamy, why don’t you introduce this person to me? "Bradley asked quickly..
Rami didn't know Bradley, but he recognized the "New York Times" logo on Bradley's backpack. He smiled and said, "Renly Hall, one of the three stars of our series..”
After a simple introduction, Bradley suddenly realized that the newcomer, the newcomer with no acting experience, the rumored name finally matched his name. Bradley's eyes couldn't help but light up, but such a newcomer Being spotted by Steven and starring in "War in the Pacific" was a meteoric rise. News highlights came out immediately..
However, before Bradley could continue to speak, there was an uncontrollable scream at the beginning of the red carpet, and everyone looked over: Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg arrived at the scene. Got it！
