Chapter 1168 1168 Grand Opening

In April, Los Angeles is filled with warm spring, with pedestrians waving on the streets. Some people wear short-sleeved shorts and skateboards, feeling the pleasure and lightness of the sea breeze blowing their hair; some people wear plush jackets and scarves in their hands for emergencies; some people wear T-shirts and pullovers, and enjoy the short spring in California.

Burbank is really lively today. Although it is because of the relationship between many studios and many film companies, it is different today. The main road outside the entrance of the studio is crowded, and the crowds gathered on both sides almost filled the pedestrian ramps. Looking around, people mistakenly think it is a celebration that welcomes Martin Luther King.

If it is just a crowd, this is no different for Burbank. There are a few special situations every year, but the strange thing is that these people are not surrounding a specific studio, obviously not for a crew or a star. They have no intention of entering the studio shooting area at all. They are all surrounded on the main road outside. The scene made the staff who drove the prop car tremble and thought something unexpected happened to the studio.

After a rough look, there were at least 500 people on the scene, including nearly 200 reporters alone. Such a situation is indeed rare. Even when "Terminator 2" became the first work in film history that invested over 100 million yuan, Burbank was only attacked by 300 people. So, what happened today?

Nicholas McClane stood bored in the crowd, and he did not deliberately crowd. The location was not the best, because he knew that there were so many people gathering today, and there was actually the same shooting from any angle, and there would be no special exclusive news. The goal of his coming to join in the fun was not the backs of some cars on the main road. After the target person arrived at the scene, the interview on the shooting scene was the top priority.

So, Nicholas was not in a hurry at this time.

James Rat, who was standing next to him, said, "Hey, I saw Bond." Because they both often interviewed Hugo, although they were competitors, one from the Los Angeles Times and the other from the US Weekly, they became good friends. The colleagues were enemies, but on the other hand, only the colleagues could understand their persistence and their struggle.

Nicholas looked over James's gaze and saw Anthony Bond Stewart, who was carefully looking around, and was still chewing gum. "It would be strange if he didn't show up. Just see if he would continue to show up." Nicholas looked around, "Did you see the reporter of the Post?"

There are many posts in the United States, "The Washington Post", "New York Post", "Global Post", "Seattle Post", "Denver Post", etc., but the reference to chatting between them has always been the "New York Post".

James glanced at Nicholas with a squinting glance, "Do you think they might not come? I saw it just now, four of them came, and this is just the part I saw, who knows if there are any other places."

"The interview is not about relying on more people to win." Nicholas chewed chewing gum indifferently. While talking, a force surged from the right side. A man next to him did not stand firm and directly hit Nicholas, almost falling. The friend next to the man tried to pull him, but he couldn't react in the end. Moreover, the thrust from the right side was too great and he couldn't take care of himself, so where did he get time to take care of his companions?

Nicholas and James are both veterans who deal with this kind of scene. Their standing posture is originally a horse stance and generally does not shift the center of gravity. So Nicholas helped the man a little while, so he avoided the miserable fall and the danger of crowds flocking over and being stepped on.

The man stood up and said with lingering fear, "Sorry, sorry. I mean, thank you, really, I'm sorry for what happened just now..." His words were incoherent.

Nicholas raised his hand and waved his hand slightly, saying that it was okay, it was just a simple task, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

James glanced at him and the two people next to him looked too small. His height was directly overwhelmed by the crowd around him. He could not see anything. His face was a young man and he didn't even grow his beard. He promised that these two were definitely children, probably only thirteen or four years old.

Nicholas seemed to notice James's sight and whispered, "I guess he is a movie fan."

James clicked his chin at the place of approval, retracted his gaze, and did not pay attention to the two people anymore, but instead changed the topic, "I remember a paparazzi was following Hugo closely, why didn't he see him recently? Have you seen him today?"

"Are you talking about Daws Carter?" Daws, who is determined to become the heir of Ron Clara, is also well-known in the paparazzi circle, especially after becoming the tail that Hugo cannot get rid of in the past six months, his fame has increased significantly. Nicholas naturally knew it, "It seems that after Bond failed to challenge Mr. Lancaster last time, he disappeared. I heard that he seemed to have other clues, and I guess he is investigating it secretly."

These journalists who were familiar with Hugo were accustomed to calling Adam "Mr. Lancaster" and expressed respect.

Before Nicholas finished speaking, the scene began to stir up. Screams came from the side near the main road. Nicholas and James immediately entered the state of preparation. The two of them raised the cameras in their hands almost without distinction, aimed at the main road, and then listened carefully to the sound of the engine. When they noticed that they were approaching with great enthusiasm, they immediately pressed the shutter.

After the car passed, Nicholas said without looking back, "Cruise." James immediately understood that it should be the "Mission Impossible" crew entering Burbank now.

The scene immediately became boiling, like boiling water, the crowd was crowded, and the crowd who were originally on the side ramp began to invade the vehicle's road. The entire team almost became chaotic in the blink of an eye. The crowd frantically surrounded the vehicles, which forced the car to slow down and move forward in the crowd in a snail posture, unlike the engine being started, but like the crowd being pushed forward.

In such a chaotic situation, Nicholas and James did not pay attention to each other anymore and focused on their work.

The reason why Burbank is so lively today is because this is the only day when the crew of "Mission Impossible" and "Seven Deadly Sins" appeared in Burbank together.

"Mission: Impossible" has started filming five days ago. This $80 million work shows Paramount's absolute confidence. They only scheduled to shoot in the studio for the first week, and then went to the UK and the Czech Republic to shoot the main parts of the film, and finally returned to Chicago to shoot the remaining scenes.

We are rich and confident. This is the impression that "Mission Impossible" gives everyone. Today is the last day of the crew in Burbank. Tomorrow the actors will take the lead in leaving for London, leaving the staff here to finish.

Unlike "Mission Impossible", the "Seven Deadly Sins" costing only $30 million, as the New York Post said, this is a work by New Line Film Company for the trespassing, and everything seems cautious.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" did not arrange a grand opening ceremony. You should know that the "Mission Impossible" opening ceremony invited more than 200 reporters from 90 media to arrive at the scene. Their work was the most expensive for Paramount in recent years. Of course, very few of these 90 media outlets required Paramount to spending public relations fees, and most of the media attended voluntarily. The issue of actor selection, which has been sensational in the past month, has almost pushed "Mission Impossible" to the forefront.

The opening ceremony of the "Seven Deadly Sins" will be held today, but Xinyi Film Company only invited fifteen media to attend, which is not small but not many, and is quite normal. According to the opening ceremony itinerary announced by Xinyi Film Company, the press conference will be held at 10 o'clock, and two scenes will be filmed in the afternoon, and the media interview time will be opened for 30 minutes.

However, although the "Seven Deadly Sins" are not as popular as "Mission Impossible", they are still Hugo's new work, and it also involves the showdown between Hugo and Brad. Many media are still uninvited. Many people are curious about what the crew will look like after the filming starts.

Especially when many media discovered that today the "Mission Impossible" crew and the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew would appear in Burbank at the same time, everyone was immediately in an uproar. There were a group of reporters interviewing "Mission Impossible" and a group of reporters interviewing "Seven Deadly Sins". There were another group of reporters who wanted to see Tom, Hugo and Brad fight. So a rare scene appeared on the scene. In addition to the movie fans who came here, Burbank was crowded.

In fact, the opening ceremony of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was grandly launched.

In fact, in the view of Xinyi Film Company, the "Seven Deadly Sins" need to move forward in a low-key manner, because the theme and style of this work are completely different from "Mission Impossible", and the publicity strategies are naturally different. But human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. It involves the three most top and most popular men in Hollywood today, and small things have become news, let alone the big event where the three gather together.

The new film company could have been rescheduled, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally gave up and regarded it as a free pre-promotion for the movie.

More than 500 people surrounded Tom Cruise's car and couldn't move forward. At this moment, I don't know who was behind yelling, "Hugo, Hugo!" There were only one or two voices, but soon they formed one piece, so the entire main road showed a strange situation:

The crowd stopped Tom's car in front of the car, but the crowd gradually dispersed, and then the car behind it gradually approached, and the crowd gradually moved closer, and as a result, both cars surrounded the two cars in the center. It looked like two isolated islands surrounded by sea water.

Now, the news will definitely cause a sensation tomorrow!
