In the conference hall on the fourth floor of the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Yi Feiyang held a simple press conference on behalf of the filming crew about the upcoming "Saving Rachel, a Female Soldier". Newspapers and radio stations in Los Angeles were basically attracted by him.
Please come to the scene.
The press conference was held in a very friendly atmosphere. Before the start, Yi Feiyang, on behalf of Top Film Company and Fantasy Film Company, expressed his deep condolences for the unfortunate death of Mr. Henry the Elephant; then the press conference officially began, and Yi Feiyang
Feiyang answered their questions about the planning, shooting and content of the film itself. At this point, the content of "Saving Female Soldier Rachel" that originally made people speculate has revealed the tip of the iceberg. However, Feiyang naturally did not reveal too much.
, told them that it would not be able to whet their appetite.
At the press conference, Yi Feiyang officially announced that "Saving Rachel, the Female Soldier" jointly produced by Top and Fantasy Pictures will be released simultaneously in 200 cinemas in Los Angeles tomorrow, January 11th, and in these
In the cinema, the "Superstar Cinema" among the eight major theaters of Top Film Company will show the show half an hour in advance, and all the creative staff will be present.
In response to the press conference held by Yi Feiyang, various media in Hollywood gave different reactions.
Some media who like to dig up gossip news shouted "Let's see what kind of pornographic film "Magic Young" can create" as the slogan, and made a fuss about the media.
However, the tone of these articles is inevitably a bit cliché. It is nothing more than that this Chinese director, although he is somewhat talented, has fallen into obscurity. He released some pornographic film during the Christmas period and called "make this Christmas more colorful". This is bullshit. This is pure
It's scratching!
Little did they know that "make this Christmas a little more colorful" was actually the promotional idea that the deceased elephant Henry came up with to help the play.
In addition, some mainstream media are neither salty nor indifferent about the upcoming new dramas, reporting a strange calmness. Perhaps it is because the Christmas period has entered the end, and it seems a bit difficult for Yi Feiyang to catch the last train. The reason is
...The competition is too fierce!
It is said that during the Christmas period from the end of November last year to January this year, all the major film companies in the United States tried their best to catch up. Those who suffered a setback in the summer season wanted to get some bones, and those who were going smoothly wanted to take advantage of the victory.
, everyone wants to make their own films gain both fame and fortune and "celebrate the New Year happily", and one of the guarantees for a "fat New Year" is a big cast, a star cast, and handsome guys and beauties who have not been seen in years.
Santa’s reindeer ride is coming…
…
The first shot of the Christmas season;
Comedy film produced by the American Disney Company: "Getting to Christmas".
The slogan is: Celebrate Christmas all the way through the levels, the "Golden Boy Prince" and the "Queen of Funny" will accompany you until you laugh like crazy!
Director: Alan Silverd
Starring: Jonathan Taylor, Jessica Biel.
This Christmas comedy film, invested and produced by Disney Pictures, stars the director of "Elf" and the famous American "Hollywood Golden Boy" Jonathan Taylor, as well as the "Queen of Funny" Jessica Biel.
The former played the role of the "super bad" male lead in the play. Not only did he sacrifice his appearance and bare his buttocks, he was also teased by everyone and suffered a lot. It can be said that this is the biggest challenge in the history of this Hollywood child star-turned-actor. Hollywood's "Laughing Aunt"
Jessica Biel plays the role of the clueless girlfriend that "bad brother" Jieco meets in the film. The couple is hilarious and has a lot of fun.
Selling point: Not only children love to watch Christmas comedies with a spoof and adventurous nature, not to mention Disney’s golden signature of “family fun”.
…
The second installment of the Christmas season;
Romance film produced and distributed by Universal Pictures: "The Sixth Sense".
The slogan is: Handsome guy, the god of death has come, true love transcends fate of life and death!
Director: Martin Brist.
Starring: Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Claire Forlani.
The inspiration for this film came from a 1934 film adapted from a stage play. Director Martin Brest had been planning it for 20 years. "When I first saw that film 20 years ago,"
Brest said, "I was really fascinated. It was a great story that had not yet been discovered. What we wanted to do was not to remake it, but to develop it further and explore those elements that fascinated me."
As the two most famous actors in Hollywood today, it goes without saying that Anthony Pupkins is an Oscar winner and a veteran actor. As long as he participates in the movie, you can't go wrong. The handsome guy Brad Pitt
Although his acting skills are lacking, his handsome appearance is still very suitable for a "visitation" in the cinema on Christmas.
Selling Points: Adaptation of a classic stage play, two Hollywood handsome men, a must-see film for loving couples at Christmas!
…
The third installment of the Christmas season;
The romantic film "City of Angels" produced and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States.
Promotional slogan: Angels come to earth and are willing to give up for love and return to heaven.
Director: Brad Sebonen.
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Meg Ryan.
The predecessor of this film is the 1987 excellent German film "Wings of Love", but its real target is "The Last Love". The angel played by Cage lacks the elegant temperament he should have. When he gets close to the woman
As the protagonist, the audience not only did not feel that she would be protected by angels, but instead worried that she would be plotted against. Meg Ryan almost repeated her role in "Sleepless in Seattle". The angel reflected in the film is called in China
"Death ghosts" specialize in welcoming people who have expired in the hospital to go to the underworld. There is a scene of angels gathering at the seaside in the film, which seems to be a tribute to Bergman's "The Seventh Seal".
Selling point: Not selling Santa Claus but selling angels, following the hard-core sadomasochism route, with a popular young man paired with a top beauty, at least the visual aspect is very eye-catching.
…
The above is just a summary of the Christmas strategies of the three major Hollywood film companies. More film companies are also bringing out their own movies, hoping to sell well during this attractive period and earn a lot of gold and silver.
However, as long as you are a professional, you will be able to research and find that among these many Christmas and New Year movies, the most obvious are two movie types. One is a family-friendly comedy, such as Disney's "Getting to Christmas".
This drama is aimed at the children's market, with little hands holding big hands, leading the whole family to watch it together. It can be said that Christmas is full of joy and good mood.
The other type is romance films aimed at men and women in love. As the saying goes, love is the eternal theme of movies. As long as it is a love movie, there must be a market. After all, Americans who consider themselves free and romantic can skip Christmas turkey.
You can skip buying Christmas gifts, but you can never skip falling in love!
"The Blue Bridge", "Gone with the Wind", and last year's "Titanic", these excellent love movies, with their super popular reputation and explosive box office, tell everyone that love can not only nourish the soul,
You can also make money! And make a lot of money!!!
Therefore, this Christmas has become a bit overflowing with love. In addition to Universal's "The Sixth Sense" and Warner Bros.'s "City of Angels", there are also several love movies joining the battle.
In this battle, there is no gunpowder smoke, no guns, no ghost killers, no robots, and the Earth's collision. There is only bitter love, miserable men and women, and the story of torturing you and abusing me...
In these plays, death comes and angels come down to earth. The common denominator is that they all fall in love and are drowned to the death... Death and angels are not easy either. They are even more unlucky than China's Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, at least for them.
Although they can send each other off at a distance of ten thousand miles, these two people are more unlucky than the other...
The three-month Christmas period is almost coming to an end. Just when everyone thought that this was the end of Christmas movies and there would be no more super dark horses or box office miracles, Yi Feiyang's "Saving Rachel, a Female Soldier" was at the end of the period.
, ready for official release!
…
On the day of January 11th, the gods were kind. The snowflakes that were falling one after another finally stopped shaking, and the whole world seemed extremely peaceful.
At night, a cold wind suddenly blows, making the entire vicinity of the Superstar Cinema extremely refreshing. Pedestrians passing by accidentally will find that this cinema, which was not very busy at first, suddenly becomes lively, with cars coming from all directions.
Many of the people gathered here were luxury cars. The streets were crowded with people, and the entrance to Superstar Movies was even more noisy.
Yi Feiyang, Rabbit Bill, and the personal lawyer of the late Mr. Henry stood on the steps outside the cinema to greet the invited guests, while fat men Gao Jiabao and Jack Black led people to work inside.
A total of 200 people were arranged to attend the screening, most of whom were from the film industry, and the rest were residents of Black Dad's neighborhood, who were also the "extras" who gave the greatest help to the film.
In addition, there are a group of enthusiastic viewers who got the news about the premiere.
The first person to arrive turned out to be Mr. Raymond, the boss of Paramount Pictures. The reason why this top executive of Paramount Pictures was able to attend the screening of this movie was entirely because of the happy cooperative relationship between Yi Feiyang and him. For Yi Feiyang
Raymond sincerely believed that he could make friends with a talent like Feiyang. Moreover, Feiyang's three dramas had helped Paramount dominate the Halloween schedule. As an act of reciprocating the favor, he felt that it was necessary for him to attend this premiere. Otherwise,
Due to the "pornographic reputation" of this company, people will not show their faces here.
"Hello, Mr. Raymond, welcome to your arrival." Yi Feiyang smiled and stretched out his hand. Raymond smiled politely, shook hands and said: "Dear Yi, you have made me miserable.
Ah, I originally thought that after we cooperated, we would have better cooperation projects, but I didn't expect that you and Henry this guy co-produced a pornographic film... Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so jealous of people who have passed away, but I really must
Hope to work with you again!”
"Yes, I will definitely do it." Yi Feiyang said with a smile. "If the response to this drama is good, I also hope that Mr. Raymond can send me more theaters to let it be fully released."
"No problem, as long as this drama is bright enough, I will work with you again even if you don't tell me!"
After a few more brief conversations, Mr. Raymond entered the cinema.
Gao Jiabao next to him made a face at Yi Feiyang, which meant, "Hold on to this guy, you're a rich man!"
When Mr. Gusta from Lionsgate Pictures arrived, the scene was in a state of excitement. This was not because Gusta was a bigger name than President Raymond, but because of Lionsgate Pictures' dazzling performance last year.
"Haha, dear Yi, it's not easy to flatter you. Did you see that there are so many people stuck here? Those who know it is a movie premiere, and those who don't know think there is a traffic accident." Gus
Ta patted Yi Feiyang on the shoulder, looking very affectionate.
Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "Thank you for coming to support me. I originally thought it would be very deserted this time."
"Oh, it won't be deserted this time, because besides me, didn't Mr. Raymond from Paramount arrive early in the morning?"
Oops, why does it sound like vinegar?
Yi Feiyang could only smile and said: "That's Mr. Raymond's favor. Otherwise, how could I, a nobody like me, be able to get his job?"
"Haha, dear Yi, you are becoming more and more eloquent, but I don't know if the movie you are filming this time will be as good as it is?"
"Go in and take a look, wouldn't you know?"
While joking, Yi Feiyang invited Gusta in.
The appearance of these two big company bosses made everyone at the scene drop their jaws. They had to look at Yi Feiyang's "prestige" with admiration. Especially the employees of the top film companies said in their hearts that even Mr. Henry had never been so prestigious during his lifetime. This
China Yi is really not simple!
Then, several guests appeared that surprised Yi Feiyang, because they either knew each other or they didn't know each other. They didn't know each other because they met at the last Christmas party and were not very familiar with each other, but they knew each other because they had talked to each other.
, I feel pretty good, including the genius director Quentin Tarantino, and the big Chinese actor Cheng Long.
Cheng Long's appearance made Yi Feiyang unexpected. According to Brother Cheng Long, he originally planned to fly back to Hong Kong immediately after reading the script of "Rush Hour 2", but he heard that "fellows" would hold a premiere here.
During the ceremony, I shamelessly came to drink and drink.
Brother Cheng Long and himself are both Chinese. The two stood together arm-in-arm and took a group photo. Yi Feiyang felt that no matter what happened in the future, the friendship the other party gave him was extremely precious.
As for the genius director Quentin, Yi Feiyang has always known him through the movie "Kill Bill". On the one hand, he admires him for perfectly "ruining" Chinese kung fu movies, but on the other hand, he has to admit that Quentin used a
In this weird way, Hong Kong kung fu culture was introduced into Hollywood. It can be said that the reason why Hollywood became craze for fist and kung fu in the future is definitely related to this person; and the reason why Hollywood filmmakers learned the essence of Hong Kong kung fu movies is also related to this person.
Relationship. Overall, this guy is a great "connector"! (To be continued.)
