When Yi Feiyang and others arrived at Chicago's Fox River Prison, the ones who arrived before them were naturally the ubiquitous media reporters.
Of course, these media reporters are not here to go to jail, but to cover the show. Specifically, they are reporters attracted by the publicity method of Yi Feiyang's prison premiere.
It was also the first time for these reporters to cover such a premiere. In the past, they were either in a grand theater or a big cinema, or at least an open-air square or something. How could they be like now, facing such a huge and rigorous event?
They were also a little "unaccustomed" to the prison, especially when they saw the prison guards armed with guns and nuclear bombs, and the timid female reporters were even more frightened, but they had no choice but to do it for their own work and their own future.
I can only bear to dig in with my scalp.
But having said that, most American reporters are still very "silly and bold", especially those who are eager to become famous, and they are even more bold. You can easily see a reporter being swept away by the storm while reporting on a tornado, or
I saw a reporter doing a live broadcast in Afghanistan where bullets are raining... These are a kind of spirit and a totem of American journalists, that is---use your life to broadcast, no matter how dangerous the environment is!
After entering the prison, these reporters quickly found the first target they needed to interview, and that was the warden, Mr. Federo.
At this moment, if you were not familiar with this place, you would never have imagined that this tightly guarded and airtight heavyweight prison would be so busy.
Under the flashing spotlights, Warden Federo was seen answering reporters' questions with a smile on his face.
Reporter: "May I ask Mr. Fidero, what is the specific meaning of holding this movie premiere in a prison?"
"What does it mean? Of course it does." Fidlo said in a compassionate tone. "In the eyes of outsiders, the prison is a cruel place, a fortress for prisoners. In fact, this impression is very bad. The prison is overly demonized.
Culture, especially our Fox River Prison, is rumored by the outside world to be so callous and inhumane, as if the prisoners imprisoned here will almost die or live in darkness for the rest of their lives!"
"Wrong! This is definitely a huge misunderstanding! We at Fox River Prison have always been adhering to diligent labor education and using humane management to persuade these prisoners to change their ways and start a new life. However, these unfounded rumors are misleading.
Dear citizens, let them have a horrible and wrong idea about our prison."
"Now is the time to change this misconception. Together with Fantasy Pictures and Paramount, we selected this inspirational cartoon to premiere in Fox River Prison. We want to use practical actions to change this misunderstanding."
To arouse citizens’ new understanding of this prison, and to awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in the hearts of the prisoners we detain here!”
"God has said that there has never been any distinction between good and bad people in this world. It is only because of the environment that some people have gone astray. I believe this sentence, and I firmly believe that as long as you can try to change, you will be better tomorrow.
There is hope, it will be better! Well, that’s all I have to say!”
These words of Warden Federo won applause from the media.
Just as it happened, Yi Feiyang and the others arrived at this time, and the media reporters who were interviewing Fidelo cheered again, and they all surrounded Yi Feiyang and the others.
"Hi, dear Yi, can you say a few words? Just a few words, anything will do!"
"Director Yi, this is the first play you premiered after winning Best Screenplay. What do you think?"
"Yi, do you have the confidence that this cartoon can beat the popular "Gladiator"?"
…
The reporters surrounded Yi Feiyang with all kinds of chatter, trying to pry a few words out of his mouth.
Seeing the enthusiasm of the media, Yi Feiyang stood under the spotlight with a smile and said: "First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for coming to support me. After all, this is a prison and not an Oscar red carpet. You guys don't think it is unlucky here. I am very happy."
!”
"Secondly, the cartoon "Speed Snail" I shot has only one theme. Everyone has a tomorrow. No matter how weak you are, no matter how failed you are, no matter how inconspicuous you are and not accepted by others, as long as you work hard, you can achieve it.
Own your dreams. In a word, no dream is too big, no matter how small the dream chaser is!"
"Finally, this drama will premiere tonight at Fox River Prison. At that time, I hope everyone can help with some publicity. It can also be regarded as radiating positive energy, helping everyone, and inspiring fighting spirit. Let's work together!"
"As for someone asking me whether this movie can beat Universal's epic blockbuster "Gladiator," I want to say that there is no comparison between the two movies. If you really want to compare, I just want to say that "Gladiator" is a
It's a very good blockbuster. If I have the chance, I will go back and watch it. I also hope that the director and starring actors of that film can pay attention to my upcoming animated film. Well, thank you everyone!" Yi Feiyang bowed in thanks.
It can be said that Yi Feiyang's words are accurate and neither humble nor arrogant.
The media reporters were obviously not satisfied with Yi Feiyang's answer. Some of them were chasing after them, hoping to get some more explosive news. However, Fat Jack and bodyguard Kane stopped them, "Okay, we have to prepare for the first time."
Please cooperate with the screening work... If you really have any questions, please ask after the premiere. Thank you all!"
However, there were too many reporters, and Fat Jack and Kane couldn't stop them at all. There was a large group of people chasing after them, shouting, "Yi, please stay and say a few more words!" "Yi, we still have questions to ask.
!”
…
When the warden Fidelo saw this formation, he immediately arranged for people to protect Yi Feiyang, and then he had the opportunity to walk into the prison.
Inside the Fox River Prison office.
"How are the arrangements going, Mr. Fidel?" Yi Feiyang asked the warden with a smile.
"Hi, dear Yi, as per your request, I have mobilized the people here to free up the entire big square, and three huge screens have been set up. Well, how should I say, you can watch in three directions of the square.
Very clear view of the premiere movie.”
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Federo. Without your help, I really don't know what I would do."
"You're too polite, Yi. This is what I should do."
"As for security, I don't want your place to be in chaos just because of a premiere."
"Don't worry about this. I have already made arrangements. All guards will be suspended from this moment on, and riot police are on standby 24 hours a day. Tear gas and gas bombs are also fully prepared. Most importantly, I have strengthened the security measures at various locations in the prison.
The intensity of the guards, let alone the prisoners, even a fly cannot escape..."
"Oh, God, after hearing what you said, I even suspected that I was about to become a prisoner who couldn't fly out!" Yi Feiyang joked.
…
At the same time, film promotion inside Fox River Prison also began.
In the cell, the noise was loud.
I saw all kinds of prisoners in cells, black, white, fat, thin, ferocious-looking, gloomy-looking... It can be said that here you can see all kinds of prisoners. Prisoner.
"Damn it, did you hear that, we can watch a movie tonight!"
"What tricks are these sons of bitches playing?!"
…
"What, shit! You let us watch cartoons?!"
"We want to watch porn! We want to jerk off!"
…
"Would you like to take the opportunity to cause a riot?"
"Riot your mother, I heard that the guys with guns and nuclear bombs outside are waiting for us to riot!"
…
"Oh, I love movies. I haven't watched one in a long time. God, there is finally some humanity in this damn prison!"
"I hope nothing happens tonight...I will be released from prison in a month!"
…
Yi Feiyang was really tired. Starting from three o'clock in the afternoon, he directed everyone in the prison square to start setting up.
After working for more than three hours, the entire venue was finally decorated. Yi Feiyang was very tired. Even after eating overnight porridge and practicing kung fu, he was still out of breath.
Looking at the watch, there is still an hour before the premiere. If time permits, I would like to take a shower before then. My whole body is smelly, sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable.
So Yi Feiyang said a few words to the people around him, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw Fat Jack running over sweating profusely, and said: "Oh God, something happened, something big happened!" "
"Looking at how anxious you are, what happened?" Yi Feiyang asked him.
"Our movie master tapes... were stolen!"
"Ah?!" Yi Feiyang opened his mouth wide.
…
When preparing for this premiere, Yi Feiyang imagined many unexpected situations, such as sound failure, screen falling, and prisoners rioting... But he never expected that the master tape would be stolen!
"What's going on?"
"The thing is like this..."
Fatty explained what happened in detail. It turned out that according to the procedure, Fatty wanted to check the condition of the master tapes and opened the safe, only to find that the master tapes inside had disappeared.
This master tape was placed in Fidlow's office, which was tightly guarded. It was impossible for ordinary people to enter and steal it. Moreover, the theft in the prison would be a big joke.
"What about Kane, where is he?" Yi Feiyang asked.
"I didn't see him, I suspected..." Fatty hesitated, "After the master tape was stolen, I called him directly, but he turned off his phone and couldn't find where he was."
"No, he is a person sent by Paramount. It is impossible for him to do such a thing." Yi Feiyang shook his head. "We have to trust our friends."
"Boss, now is not the time to talk about trust. After much deliberation, I think he is the biggest suspect. Think about it, we didn't know him before, and he is the only one who can open the safe except me... and of course, the warden. ...There is no one else besides him, who else could he be?" Fatty's words made sense, which made Yi Feiyang hesitate a little. Could it be that Kane really stole the master tape?!
