Throughout the year, day and night, seasons and holidays, Burbank, which has always been noisy and noisy, ushered in a bustling morning. At the entrance of the studio base, more than 800 people gathered, including reporters and fans. There are bystanders... Bustling, crowded, and so lively, everyone's face is filled with a relaxed and happy expression, and you can clearly feel the joy and comfort of the new year.

All this is only because today is the day when the "end of the world" officially starts-no, just at the press conference of the opening ceremony, Roland Emmerich announced that this work will hopefully be renamed "Independence Day", this The idea from Hugo has been supported by the entire crew, but due to copyright issues, there are still some follow-up procedures that need to be processed, so 20th Century Fox is still working intensively.

"We hope that the film can be released on Independence Day. Of course, this means that our entire crew is under tremendous pressure. We don't have time to rest and adjust." Roland said at the press conference, the slightly stiff German. Although the tone did not have much sense of humor, it still made the reporters laugh.

Independence Day in the United States is July 4th, which is the National Day. From filming to post-production-the post-production special effects of this work have been produced since April last year-in less than four months, and then It's time to put in the first wave of publicity, which is indeed an oppressive schedule for the crew.

Commercial blockbusters are different from "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row". Due to the cumbersome visual effects and post-production, it often takes half a year, a year or even longer to complete the production. "Independence Day" has been producing computer special effects for more than half a year, but it is still not completed, which shows that the degree of work is complicated and cumbersome. Therefore, the production cycle of commercial films will be relatively long, and now there are only four months left for "Independence Day", which is indeed very urgent.

The atmosphere of the entire press conference was very relaxed. Before, Brad Pitt made a strong rise at the end of the year, and then Hugo and Kim Carey joined the 20 million club; Paramount Pictures officially announced a day ago that Tom- "Mission Impossible" starring Cruise will premiere in the last week of May, kicking off this year's summer vacation... This time for reporters is the same as the New Year’s atmosphere, with constant explosions and news. Constantly, the little days are very moist.

Not to mention that at the press conference, Hugo was also very cooperative, answering the reporters' questions one by one, chatting and laughing, relaxed and comfortable, making the whole scene wafted with a cheerful atmosphere.

It seems that for the uncrowned kings, the stormy waves of the second half of 1995 have finally passed completely, and after entering the New Year, they also opened a new page and set off again.

After the press conference, Twentieth Century Fox held a grand breakfast meeting. All the uncrowned kings who were present were able to enter and joined today's star-studded start-up ceremony.

Today’s scene can be said to be a gathering of stars. In addition to the actors who made friendly guest appearances on "Independence Day", many bigwigs arrived on the scene to build momentum for Hugo, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Jie Ferry Katzenberg, three of the top DreamWorks presences, all appeared on the scene. Tim Robbins, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Paul Newman were all present. Now, the friendly guest Al Pacino also brought Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, a group of partners who are the most appealing in Hollywood.

In addition, Mark Canton, the president of Columbia Pictures, Kevin Pence, the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, Ron Meyer, the chief executive of Universal Pictures, and Shirley Lan, the man behind Paramount Xin and others also attended one after another, and the level was dizzying.

Many reporters sighed, even if compared with the Oscar night, this opening ceremony is not inferior. Reporters have already begun to look forward to the premiere of "Independence Day". If the stars on the premiere day are half of today's, it is bound to be the most anticipated day in the summer.

Obviously, Twentieth Century Fox’s strategy has been successful. The film has reached its apex before filming begins. The huge publicity fee is also the most important part of the cost of film production. Aside from subsequent publicity, it is only Today's kick-off ceremony cost at least 300,000 U.S. dollars or more. Of course, the effect produced is naturally amazing, which is eye-catching. It now appears that Twentieth Century Fox has concentrated almost all the propaganda resources of the entire company on "Independence Day", and it has the arrogance of being benevolent if it fails.

After being tired all morning, Hugo finally found a gap, drank a glass of juice, took two sandwiches and hid in front of the prop room behind the studio to catch his breath. After a while, Samora carried a plate with a pile of food, and sneaked up to the back. Hugo's eyes immediately showed the figure that met the savior, "Thank you, thank you so much." "

Samora carried the plate, and he took the bacon from the plate and delivered it to his mouth-even though he was already full, "Wow, I didn't expect it to be so grand today. It's an exaggeration."

Hugo raised his eyebrows, his face was full of surprise, "Don't look at me, this is the first time I have experienced such a booting ceremony."

Although Hugo had participated in many opening ceremonies before this, last year's "Seven Deadly Sins" opening ceremony was also a grand, but compared to today, it can only be described as pediatrics. Until today, Hugo really saw what the so-called "grand" should be like. The constant flow of people at the scene almost made people not even have time to drink.

This is Hugo’s first real high-cost and high-investment work in the past thirteen years of acting as an actor. An investment of 100 million US dollars can be included in the high-cost ranks even in the 21st century, let alone now. Woolen cloth. In addition, there has been a lot of noise on the topic recently. Twentieth Century Fox has consciously launched the first wave of pre-propaganda, so this has created the grand occasion of today's opening ceremony.

"No one mentioned Macaulay today?" Hugo mumbled suspiciously.

Samora picked up another apple, stuffed it into her mouth, and said after taking two bites, "Rick also made preparations before, but after I arrived today, I took a look and heard that it was Kevin who said hello."

Hugo stopped for a while while chewing on the sandwich. Actually he shouldn't be surprised, should he? Today's Macaulay is a dead end. If there is no interest, there will be no attention, whether it is a film company or the news media. What's more, Macaulay's father, known as the Watchdogs of Hell, really took the whole Hollywood All offended.

At the beginning Kitt was completely blatantly threatening, "If you don't satisfy my wish, Mike will refuse to film!" Since Macaulay is a minor, all decisions must go through Kit, so Kit took the emperor to satisfy the princes and satisfy the princes. Own private. Desire, do whatever it takes to fish for gold, and then squander it wantonly.

Since Macaulay has box office appeal, all the major film companies have nothing to do with Kit, and can only meet Kit's unreasonable demands. Now that Macaulay has lost its value, it is impossible for the major film companies to tear down the bridge. Not only do they have to shed their grievances and kill the donkey, but they also have to have revenge, grievances and complaints-although for them, a Macaulay basically It's not worth fighting to deal with, but it's easy to complete the blockade casually.

From Twentieth Century Fox to Warner Bros., from Columbia Pictures to Universal Pictures, almost all of them hated Kitt.

On the day of the audition, when Hugo left the Los Angeles Grand Theater, Joseph asked Joseph about Macaulay and Kitt's situation. The result was "We have all prepared, don't worry." When 20th Century Fox greeted him, the news media would naturally not care about Macaulay, who had no topical content at all. It couldn't be simpler to just sell a face.

But when Hugo heard this, it was rather sad. Of course, all of this is Kitt's own sins and cannot live, and the poor must have something to hate.

Hugo sighed lightly, looked down at the plate, only to find that Samora had eaten more than half, and there was not much left for him, "Hey, are you hungry or I am hungry?"

Samora couldn't help but stunned, and smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, can't blame me, Joe is losing weight recently and forbid me to eat and drink in front of him, you know I'm very hard." Hugo didn't buy it at all, just straight away. Giving a roll of eyes, Samora quickly showed a pleasing smile, "I saw sushi just now, should I go get you some? The sashimi is made by a chef on the spot, very fresh. "

Hugo curled his lips, "Forget it, let's go out It is estimated that Rick is looking for me everywhere at this time." Today Hugo is the core of the core. After the request for box office dividends was recognized by Twentieth Century Fox, Hugo knew clearly that he would have to pay a corresponding price. There is no free lunch in this world.

What's more, the opening ceremony is a normal propaganda occasion, not a malicious hype, and Hugo has no reason to refuse.

"Yes, Rick said that you should go and take a look at the child actor selected last. Carl seems to want to sign the child actor, and wants to ask your opinion." Then Samora remembered the incident and hurriedly Speaking of.

Hugo was stunned. At the press conference of the opening ceremony just now, Hugo, Alexander Lorraine, Sandra Bullock, and Jennifer Aniston appeared on the stage as representatives of the actors. He did not see the final audition. Selected child actors, "Why are you asking me to comment, I don't understand these?"

As Hugo was talking, he walked outside with Samora. Samora handed over a tissue and motioned for Hugo to wipe his mouth and clean up his appearance, but he kept saying, "We all believe in you. Eyes, not only the script, but also your keen sense of art!"

"Artistic touch... Hey, it sounds like a deodorant in the bathroom."
