985 Seismic effects
The Hilton Hotel located in Beverly Hills has always been a gathering place for celebrities, especially the Golden Globe Awards are held here every year, and media reporters are extremely familiar with it. Today, the Hilton Hotel once again ushered in a rush of people, even compared to the Toronto Film Festival, which is in full swing. It seems that all the reporters rushed back from Toronto overnight and rushed into Los Angeles.
Looking at the news hall decorated in red, the crowd was far beyond imagination. The space that could accommodate 300 people was as if it had been filled with 500 people. The entire space was about to be squeezed out. The grand occasion that was shoulder to shoulder was not visible even on the night of the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony. Javier Ulier looked down at his watch. It was only ten o'clock at this time, and there was still an hour before the press conference. He raised his head again, and the lively scene in front of him still had no change.
"Sorry, sorry, please move to the banquet hall on the third floor, please move to the banquet hall on the third floor..." Several waiters walked into the news hall and began to take steps in different directions, shouting loudly, and the crowd began to move slowly, and the restlessness became more and more surging.
Javier, who had originally squeezed into the crowd accurately, now took advantage of the convenience. He turned around and walked out of the news hall, identified some directions, and took steps towards the elevator.
Today is the official press conference of "Iron Man". All the main members of the crew will attend and answer the basic questions of reporters. Ten days later, "Iron Man" will officially start filming. This will be the first step of Chaos Film after the "Raging Road" set off a midsummer craze. Chaos Film's first move will naturally be the focus of attention.
If it were just "Iron Man", the weight was still not enough. After all, the director was Jon Favreau, not the one who people were looking forward to. But just two days ago, the Wall Street Journal exclusively revealed that the next work of Lance was officially confirmed, and the director will be held and the "Invincible Hulk" will be brought to the big screen! As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in North America.
It's not "Iron Man", but "Invincible Hulk"! All the previous storms seem to be groundless. Lance is indeed about to direct a comic adaptation movie, but it's just "Invincible Hulk". This will not only be the "City of Sin", Lance once again took over the guide of the comic adaptation work; it is also Chaos Pictures' second move in the short term, starting to shoot two commercial movies with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in one go. Such courage has indeed caused a sensation in the entire North America.
The seventh player in Hollywood showed his edge for the first time - he did not hide his strength, did not avoid his edge, did not deliberately show weakness, did not accumulate strength, and even had no room for breathing. The "Raging Road" is still among the top five in the North American box office rankings, tirelessly hitting the 600 million heavenly trench. Chaos Film has already shown its next plan drastically, and it is such a huge plan and such ambition that is eye-catching.
Not only that, people must also note that among the thousands of comic-level heroes, choosing the role of Hulk really fell below everyone's glasses. It's not that Hulk is too unpopular, but because Hulk is too tricky. Three years ago, it made Li/An fall seriously. The North American box office did not even pass the investment cost line, and the loss was as high as 70 million - this was the result of calculating the subsequent peripheral income. Universal Pictures almost failed to recover in one breath; even the reputation was completely disappointed, with the film critics, Rotten Tomatoes, and the audience's full criticism almost ruining Li/An's directorial career. The disheartened Li/An turned to take over a remote and difficult independent film like Brokeback Mountain.
Now, Lance actually chose the Hulk to remake. Is this reckless, confident, or arrogant?
After the exclusive news of the Wall Street Journal came out, it became the hot topic of discussion across the United States within just twelve hours, and everyone expressed their opinions, but at the same time, those loyal fans began to eagerly learn more about the details, such as how Lance wanted to create the image of the Hulk; for example, when will Lance start the filming officially start; for example, who will play the Hulk... It's just "news". Chaos Pictures and Lance didn't even respond to official responses, and people could not bear the expectation. What's even more incredible is that no audience questioned Lance's choice, it seemed that everyone had agreed. This would be a peerless masterpiece, and that kind of expectation easily passed "Iron Man" and became the hottest topic nowadays.
As the highest-selling newspaper in the country, the sales volume of the "Wall Street Journal" this issue hit a new high, easily breaking the highest sales volume of 2oo in 26 years, and even crossing the "Rampant Road" this summer season, a series of record-breaking special sales volumes, which were completely beyond imagination. According to rumors, the "Wall Street Journal" bought this scoop for $300,000. Now it seems that their efforts have achieved twice or even three times the returns, and the commercial value of the name "Lancelot-Stralo" is booming.
Just a rumor about a new project has caused such an earthquake effect, and the Golden Age of Hollywood is nothing more than that.
After the news was released, Green Ridge Street was instantly flooded by reporters. Even the cleaners who cleaned Chaos Film were surrounded, hoping to rummage the garbage to find more news. However, Chaos Film did not express any opinion and responded in an official tone. "At present, the company is in an orderly manner according to the plan, and the specific situation is still waiting for the official announcement. Lance is currently busy with the preliminary work of "Iron Man". After the movie officially starts, there will be time to consider other situations."
The paparazzi waited outside the villa in Malibu for two days without any gains. Theo, Ian and Govin all appeared one after another, but there was no Lance. In desperation, everyone could only pin their hopes on today's press conference.
When he arrived at the banquet hall on the third floor, the words "'Iron Man' News Conference Venue" were erected at the door. Javier confirmed that it should be the official Hilton Hotel that made adjustments based on the situation in time. After entering the banquet hall as the first batch of reporters, Javier quickly occupied a favorable position in the front row and began to prepare for the next press conference.
In the blink of an eye, the reporters rushed into the banquet hall like a tide, and there were more and more acquaintances around Javier. When he saw Nancy Black's sweaty expression, Javier couldn't help but smile. The two nodded and signaled. Nancy walked forward and asked, "Do you believe it?"
Nancy asked about the credibility of the news from the Wall Street Journal. With Chaos Pictures' weak financial resources, it was also starting to shoot "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk". It is estimated that the situation is tight. Although the profits of "Rampant Road" are considerable, the movie is still being released now. Not to mention the subsequent peripheral profits, even box office dividends cannot be purchased for the time being. In other words, Chaos Pictures relies on the income from the previous 6 works to bet on 6, and the situation is definitely even tighter than when it was the "Rampant Road" when it was stolen.
Of course, to take a step back, this is how the entire Wall Street works. With bank loans, hoarding short sellers, internal news, virtual funds and other various means, making money with money and getting money out of money, those billionaires are more or less burdened with loans, but their net assets are just right. But is Chaos Pictures too radical? The storm of the "Raging Road" has not yet calmed down, so they can go straight to two-pronged approach?
"Why not?" Javier shrugged, his face calmly, as if he had agreed with the facts very calmly.
"I know Lance is a lunatic, but I didn't expect that he was crazy enough to imagine." Nancy closed her chin, widened her eyes, and said seriously.
Javier couldn't help laughing, "Who knows, maybe he can really break the six blockades."
If you play steadily like DreamWorks, what will happen? You will go astray and decisive as soon as you fail, but what if you succeed?
Nancy pursed her lips, and there was still a light that she could not agree with. After all, she was not a gambler.
But after a short conversation, when Javier turned around again, he felt that the entire banquet hall was once again crowded. He couldn't help but frown. The news hall just now seemed to be full and did not really explode. But now the banquet hall is also full? Could it be his illusion?
You know, the banquet hall can accommodate 800 people. Even if there is no problem in holding a grand graduation party, it is now crowded by the journalists? This is too incredible. Even if the space occupied by the reporters' photography equipment is still unbelievable.
Javier had no time to think deeply, and there was a commotion in front of him, and then he saw Jimmy-**immy-fa11on). The comedian has been doing well in the past five years. His performance in "Saturday Night Live" has been praised repeatedly. In 2019, he also starred in the "David Letterman Late Night Show" as a guest host, and his status in the industry has been highly recognized.
Unexpectedly, Jimmy was the host of the press conference today. Such a standard treatment has undergone a completely different transformation from the "Raging Road" period. Just one detail, the foundation of Chaos Pictures seems to have changed quietly.
"Test, test..." Jimmy's voice came out of the microphone, "I need everyone to be quiet, because today's protagonists have arrived at the scene and are ready to appear. Before they officially appear, I need to show my funny talent and make sure they have invited the right host so that I can ensure my future work." The reporters on the scene burst into laughter, "Very good, this is a good start. By the way, I'll remind you that the one you are looking forward to has arrived at the scene. Hush! I didn't say who it is."
Chapter completed!
