Chapter 289 The Red Carpet at the Premiere
When the AMC Galaxy Theater on Sunset Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles is crowded with people, it must be the premiere of a new movie from Galaxy Film Company here.As the film companies under the Sherman Entertainment Group gradually settled down, their respective premiere theaters were gradually determined.Both Galaxy Movies and Galaxy Animation chose the AMC Galaxy Cinema on Sunset Boulevard; while MGM and United Artists chose the AMC MGM Cinema newly built by AMC Theaters in Orange County; the remaining Summit, Lions Gate, Europa , Media Asia chose the AMC Westwood Cinema located in the Westwood District... But there are too many people gathered around the AMC Galaxy Cinema today. In addition to the local radio reporters and newspaper reporters, even the TV reporters are driving SNG cars. Come connect live.And most importantly, all the important media at the national level were also present, and each of them seized a good position and waited for the arrival of key figures.
Yes, Jed Sherman will make his first public appearance at the premiere of Iron Man since his kidnapping.At present, the grievances and grievances between Sherman and the Black Dragon Club, the Sony Group, and the Japanese Mitsui consortium are still in progress. Due to the deliberate low-key of several parties, there is not much information dug out by reporters.This made the reporters and the audience extremely depressed. Although it was the hottest topic at the moment, the news materials were pitifully scarce.What's more, the heads of several parties have tacitly kept their mouths shut. Except for occasional rumors in the newspaper through the public relations spokesperson, everyone seems to have no interest in entangled in this matter.This is Jed's first time facing the media, and the reporters are naturally eager to dig some information from Jed.
The premiere of "Iron Man" will be held at [-] p.m. ET, which is [-] p.m. local time in Los Angeles.Then theaters in the eastern United States will show two shows at [-]:[-] p.m. and [-]:[-] p.m.; while theaters in the west will be able to show one more due to the two-hour time difference.Because the premiere starts at six o'clock, so it's time for the red carpet before five o'clock.After the director and creative staff walked by, Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth joined hands on the red carpet.Although the news media was not very interested in these two people, but there were more entertainment media and film and television media present, and the spotlight immediately turned the somewhat twilight Los Angeles into a particularly bright spot.
Robert Downey Jr. waved vigorously to the reporters and fans around him. He knew the movie better than anyone else.As long as Sherman Entertainment Group's distribution work is correct, then this movie is very likely to become the box office king of the summer and even the whole year.Although some film critics believe that awards are the best evaluation of an actor, an actor without a box office will never have a bright future in Hollywood.And as long as this movie is successful, then all subsequent contract plans can be launched.From no scary movie at all to two big-budget summer movies with two leading actors and two leading actors in the future, Robert Downey Jr. will undoubtedly give all the Hollywood movie stars who are in deep trough an excellent opportunity to "turn over". benchmark.
The "Box Office" magazine directly predicted that Robert Downey Jr. will most likely join the ranks of Hollywood's first-line male stars after "Iron Man", and may even challenge the dominance of "Two Soups and One Power".The "Influence" magazine joked that after Johnny Depp, Sherman Entertainment Group once again brought Hollywood a gold medal actor who has transformed from a bad boy.
And "Entertainment Weekly", which is famous for gossip, even commented that Robert Downey Jr. will replace Johnny Depp in the Sherman Entertainment Group, because Johnny Depp has already established himself on the front line of Hollywood through the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. The status of an actor, but unfortunately, he often has the dream of being a young man of literature and art and the style of choosing films at every turn makes Johnny Depp's box office record fluctuate. Therefore, he has never been able to break the golden triangle of "Two Soups and One Power".
At the same time, another gossip magazine "ok" analyzed that Sherman Entertainment Group seems to have more experience in cultivating male stars since it started as the Galaxy Film Production Company.Basically, it can be said that Tom Hanks became a god through the galaxy; while Tom Cruise and Will Bruce became the top Hollywood stars through the galaxy; and Johnny Depp, who is closely behind them, is also the fourth box office male star people.But compared to the impressive record of male stars, Sherman Entertainment Group has almost no female stars.
In the midst of all the gossip, the reporters were in an uproar as Jed Sherman's iconic Cadillac slowly approached.It's interesting to say that because of the kidnapping of Jed Sherman, Cadillac's sales have plummeted a lot around the world.Even the White House, a long-term customer, conducted a special inspection of the U.S. Army No. 6 and No. [-] (the cars of the U.S. president and vice president, usually Cadillac) through the Secret Service to eliminate some unnecessary safety hazards.
Therefore, after Jed was released, Cadillac was the first to come to the door. They hoped to provide Jed with a specially customized safety car for Jed to use again.After all, one of the symbols of Jed Sherman in front of the public is the Cadillac sedan. Although Jed has never signed an endorsement contract with Cadillac, he has been jokingly called the best spokesperson for Cadillac in the world by the media.Therefore, Cadillac does not want its long-term customers to give up on themselves anyway. This loss is not just a customer but a huge customer base.
After all, when Jade was kidnapped driving a Cadillac, both German BMW and British Rolls-Royce joined the ranks of competing for Jed.Fortunately, Jade expressed his willingness to continue to purchase Cadillac, but required that all models must be customized by himself, and the original Cadillac factory could not keep the original design.Although these conditions were harsh, Cadillac actually agreed to them all.
When Jed got out of the car, all the spotlights and neon lights on the scene were aimed at him, and the reporters rushed over like vicious dogs seeing a roasted whole lamb.Fortunately, the security guards had already expected this, so there was a team of security guards on both sides to separate the reporter from Jed. At the same time, seven or eight tall and strong bodyguards in black surrounded Jed tightly, and there were two bodyguards next to him. A bodyguard will act as a meat shield at any time.Not only that, but there were also many plainclothes bodyguards on the periphery who watched suspiciously vigilantly.
According to the new security plan John designed for Jed, Jed lamented that the President of the United States might be nothing more than that.Although Jed's security is a bit exaggerated, given that he has been shot and kidnapped, the Los Angeles police also turned a blind eye.As long as Jed doesn't have an accident, this is the happiest thing for the Los Angeles police.Although Jed is reluctant to accept media interviews, he also knows that he should not offend the media too much.When he saw the Foxnews reporter, he stopped.
The FoxNews reporter was speechless as if he had won a lottery, and finally squeezed out, "Mr. Sherman, how is your lawsuit with Sony going?"
Because Foxnews is a news channel owned by old friend Murdoch, Jed is still willing to give them a chance.But this reporter's question is really too... Jed couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and responded lightly: "The lawsuit is currently in the process of litigation. As one of the parties to the lawsuit, it is inconvenient for me to make any comments on this case. Everything Please refer to the relevant information released by my lawyer or the court, thank you for your attention to this case."
After answering FoxNews' questions, Jed asked a CBS reporter to answer the questions.Now that Murdoch has been given face, then Redstone has to be given face.Compared to the late star of Foxnews, the reporters from the CBS News Department are indeed much more stable.
"Mr. Sherman, what is your expectation for the box office of "Iron Man"? The tradition of Galaxy Films is to make efforts in summer. Do you have any special expectations for Galaxy Films' summer movies this year? In addition, I heard that you invested Blizzard Interactive Entertainment is cooperating with Microsoft's home entertainment department to create a new game platform? At the same time, Blizzard and Microsoft are planning to acquire Sony Computer Entertainment. Is this your revenge? At the same time, we are also concerned that you are Asia Music Group invested by Asia is also acquiring shares of Sony Music Entertainment Group and Sony Japan Music Group. Does this mean that your future focus will shift to the traditional record industry? Especially the goog1ep1ay online music store you developed is currently The world’s best and largest online music sales platform, do you buy so many record companies to expand your copyright library? There are many questions, and I hope Mr. Sherman can answer them all.”
"Wow!" Jed couldn't help but sigh that the petite female reporter in front of him could ask so many questions in a row.
Although Jed knows that every reporter selected by a traditional TV network like CBS is trained as a future news anchor, but this reporter is a bit too good.Not everyone in the United States can sit on the news anchors, especially the evening news anchors of the five major TV networks in the United States. They are almost the ace anchors of each TV network and the directors of their respective news departments.
We must know that news anchors in the United States are not just anchors, but also editor-in-chiefs of their own news programs. They have the final say on what news can be broadcast and what news should be dug deep.Therefore, the average age of news anchors in the United States is over 55 years old, and they must have been reporters for at least 3 years before they can sit on the anchor platform.Even if they become news anchors, they will go to the scene for interviews from time to time.An indispensable path before becoming a news anchor is to be a reporter on camera. Only by being a reporter on camera can you have the opportunity to become a news guest commentator, deputy anchor, and finally become a real anchor.Maybe it's just the early morning news or the midnight news anchor, but you've become a top TV journalist.By the time your news show is moved to morning or midday, you're just one step away from becoming one of America's top anchors.
Jed thought for a while, and replied: "This year, Sherman Entertainment and Galaxy Films have reduced the number of productions. Of course, we hope to use fewer movies to win a bigger box office. "Iron Man" will be one of the summer movies." It is a big-selling movie, and the battle of the box office kings in the summer and even the whole year should only be produced in the movies under Sherman Entertainment. As for the cooperation between Blizzard and Sony, it is just the behavior between their companies, and mine There is no connection between the lawsuit and myself. Similarly, the actions of the Asian Music Group are also their corporate actions."
Jed kept his mouth shut. There were many mistakes in this kind of thing. If the Ministry of Commerce launched an "antitrust" investigation, it would really be worth the candle.After answering the reporter's question from cbs, Jed waved his hand and entered the movie theater.Of course, Jed and John were seated in a box on the second floor.In fact, this is the only box, and the purpose is to protect Jed's safety, so this box is specially opened.
