Chapter 317: The scene of the premiere (page 1/1)

Wang Xuanyuan walked on the red carpet for the first time and took Scarlett to the premiere of "The Matrix" at the Hollywood Theater. Since this movie is the highlight of Warner Bros. this year, the investment and publicity alone cost nearly a year. billion, so Warner Bros. organized this premiere with great grandeur. Not only did they invite the big names in the crew that were currently filming, but they also invited many stars from other industries.

In fact, there is a small interlude for Warner to invest in Wachowski's film.

Last year, when the Wachowski brothers handed over the script they had worked so hard to create to the hands of producer Bruce Berman of Warner Bros. Studios, Bruce only approved a production cost of 8 million for the two of them.

And this eight million is a far cry from the production cost of 100 million they proposed, but no matter how hard he lobbied, Bruce wouldn't let go, and the production cost was only eight million.

With no other choice, the two brothers made the first ten minutes of "The Matrix" out of the eight million, and then took this film to the producer. The result was that these ten minutes of footage made Warner Bros. The brothers were shocked.

With cool fighting action scenes, unconstrained ideas, and top-notch special effects shots, the ten-minute scene cost 8 million.

However, it was this opening scene that attracted the people from Warner Bros. Finally, Bruce saw that the eight million had been spent, and he could get a glimpse of the style of the film, so Bruce teamed up with the other two producers of Warner Bros. After discussion, the producers Anderson Mason and Barry Osborne allocated an additional 60 million in production fees to the two brothers. Although they had already watched the first ten minutes of the film, they had some idea of ​​the abilities of the two brothers. , however, this can also be regarded as a bold bet.

What they are betting on is that this movie can be a hit and have a good box office.

They bet their money on these two young brothers who have just debuted a few years ago.

The Wachowski brothers are indeed newcomers to the directing circle. They are not very young and do not have any decent works to produce.

With a production cost of 68 million, major Hollywood production companies will not produce a few such movies a year. Producing three movies a year is considered a big year for movies.

Fortunately, the Wachowskis lived up to the expectations of Warner Brothers. The two brothers hired Keanu Reeves, who was at a low point in his career at the time. After nearly a year of careful creation, they completed this action science fiction movie. After Warner Bros. After the internal test screening, senior people have always given extremely high evaluations, thinking that this film is a rare and wonderful movie.

Therefore, Warner increased the cost of publicity and distribution by several million and held such a grand premiere to let people all over North America and even the world know that the film was about to be released.

At the premiere, the first step was for the main creators of "The Matrix" to come on stage and accept interviews and interactions with the media.

A group of ten people came to the stage. They were Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tetsuhara, the three producers of the film, Bruce Berman, Anderson Mason and Barry Osborne, and the two director brothers, and starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving and Carrie-Anne Moss.

After the ten people walked onto the stage, they first greeted the media, celebrities from all walks of life, and movie fans who had invitations. The audience burst into warm applause.

The host first invited Kevin Tsuuhara, CEO of Warner Bros., to deliver a speech and talk about Warner's emphasis on the film. Then the three producers respectively told some interesting things about the film project.

Finally, and the most critical part, the two director brothers describe the creative inspiration and concept of the film, as well as some interesting anecdotes during filming.

Then the four leading actors will talk about their views on the film, why they joined this crew, what they felt about being in the crew, and share some interesting things during the filming.

This stage is also the stage that the media and reporters in the audience are most interested in, because at this time reporters can ask questions and reveal more revelations.

The reporters in the audience rushed to raise their hands to ask questions. The ten people on the stage talked and laughed happily and answered freely. The scene continued to burst into enthusiastic laughter, and the effect was very good.

Among them, the one who received the most attention from reporters was Keanu Reeves. Reporters kept asking him various questions, some of which were even very harsh.

But throughout the whole scene, Keanu had a smile on his face and was very comfortable answering any questions.

In fact, Keanu Reeves has long been a famous Hollywood star. The 1996 "Speed" propelled him to the throne of an action star. However, due to life and family reasons, Keanu stayed away from the film career. , which returned to the screen after three years of silence, so it is still very topical.

Wang Xuanyuan was not very interested in the questions and answers on the stage, so he simply turned around and started observing in the field.

Since his number is not very far back, it should be considered a little further back in the middle, so he can't see many celebrities.

Suddenly, Wang Xuanyuan saw an acquaintance behind him, it was Ryan. At this moment, he was standing relatively far back, craning his neck and looking at the stage with an intoxicated expression on his face. You could tell by his look that he was I was just thinking about when I would be able to be so beautiful.

And just when Wang Xuanyuan looked at Ryan, Ryan also spotted Wang Xuanyuan. Seeing that the other person was much ahead of him, Ryan actually gave Wang Xuanyuan a vicious look, as if he was going to kill him with his eyes.

According to unwritten rules, during the question-and-answer session, both the questioner and the person being asked should try not to move, or move as little as possible, for the sake of the order of the scene, so Wang Xuanyuan had nothing to do at the moment, so he could only look left and right. To all sides.

Scarlett next to her also looked excited, staring closely at the stage in front of her.

Finally, the question-and-answer session was over. After the host asked everyone on the stage to summarize, the second session ended. The remaining sessions were the banquet time and the movie premiere, which was the time to show the movie to the invited people. .

Now they are in a venue with loose chairs. This is also a small venue that everyone entered when the question session started just now to ensure that this session can proceed in an orderly manner.

Now, everyone was led by the host and waiter to the banquet venue. It was a banquet hall as big as a football field. There were more than a dozen banquet tables prepared for everyone to eat as they wanted, with people constantly shuttled in between. The waiters, holding trays in their hands, kept supplying wine and drinks.

And this is equally important, because this is the place where people chat and discuss things. Many projects and sales are led or contracts are finalized here.
