Chapter 699 The duel begins ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

October 1991, 6!
Hollywood ushered in the most intense summer file collision in history!
Although the protagonists are only two movies, which cannot be compared with the previous four or five movies in scale, their intensity is the most serious one in the history.

In the past, there will be competition in the summer film in the United States, but there will be a time gap between the release of almost every movie, and this gap is about a week.

That would leave a week to make money for the last movie.

But this time is different, "Jurassic Park" and "Captain Hook" chose to be released on the same day.

From the point of view of the director, Wu Jianye is a cutting-edge director who just created the No. [-] box office chart in the world last year, and Spielberg is the director with the most box office appeal in Hollywood!
Compared with the cast, "Jurassic Park" is still not as good as "Captain Hook", the cast of "Jurassic Park", Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Zhu Zhu, these are all He is a fringe figure in Hollywood, and Zhu Zhuo has no fame in North America. Obviously, he cannot be compared with the dreamy cast of "Captain Hook"!

In terms of subject matter, these two films are both adapted from well-known novels, and there is no comparison between the two films!

If you simply look at the comparison of these three aspects, "Jurassic Park" is actually inferior to "Captain Hook"!

But "Jurassic Park" also has its own advantages. First of all, after this series of publicity, the image of Tyrannosaurus rex has been known to everyone. Everyone is talking about dinosaurs. In addition, "Jurassic Park" has spared no effort in publicity. Almost all the United States and the whole world are paying attention to this movie!

So now who wins and who loses, no one can say for sure. Only after the movie is released can the audience be given an intuitive answer.

It can be said that the two films have been competing since the establishment of the project, and the current premiere is naturally the same!

For the premiere of these two films, it is more like a big military parade in Hollywood. Almost every director, not a single actor, is forced to choose his own side.

Someone in later generations once said that if the stars who participated in the premiere of these two films were gathered together, it would be a large collection of North American Academy Awards, Emmy Awards, and Grammy Awards!
The brilliance of the stars is enough to be recorded in the annals of history!

Wu Jianye still put the premiere of "Jurassic Park" in the Huaxia Grand Theater. The premiere started at [-]:[-] p.m. They also showed up in dresses.

What kind of star will be present will cause fans from all walks of life to scream wildly!
Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, John Depp, Mel Gibson, Isabelle Adjani, Friends of Six, etc., people from all walks of life arrived one after another, and Wu Jianye also stood at the gate of Huaxia Grand Theater early to welcome these guests.

Not only the stars who have collaborated with themselves, but also those who have not collaborated before, James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, etc., were all present.

The same is true for Michael Jackson, Cheng Long and other stars.

And "Captain Hook" is not far behind, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Francis Coppola, Harrison Ford, Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Lewis.
Also star-studded!
In order to report this grand event, each TV station dispatched two film crews to shoot and broadcast live. The audience in front of the TV often just saw the star here, and the TV immediately switched to another TV station. It's the premiere of the movie.

The entrance time of nearly two hours was almost completed during the process of counting the stars.

But everyone is always enjoying it, and no one will find this process boring.

Martin Lloyd also came to Huaxia Grand Theatre. When Wu Jianye's "Back to the Future 3" was facing "Back to the Future [-]", he chose to watch "Ghostly Love". , It also made him feel very grateful for that decision!
In fact, when Martin Lloyd came to watch "Jurassic Park", he discussed it with people in his film critic circle.

"Martin, we admit that you made a very correct choice last time watching "Ghostly Love", but this time is different. This time Wu Jianye's opponent is Spielberg!"

"Spielberg is not Robert Zemeckis, and "Captain Hook" is not "Back to the Future 3", this time if you choose "Jurassic Park" as your first movie, it will be a huge surprise. mistake!"

"Yes, I think so too. Spielberg has used his countless successes to prove that he is the best director in the world who combines business and art. This time he came prepared, For Spielberg, no mistakes are allowed this time, and under such a major premise, Spielberg will not have any problems!"

Many film critics tell their own views!
They admit that Wu Jianye's last film "The Love of Ghosts" achieved a sensational result, but in the final analysis, if they were asked to choose between Wu Jianye and Spielberg, they would still Spielberg was chosen only because Spielberg had more successes and more prestige.

"Jurassic Park" is a sci-fi horror film, which is really not of interest to film critics like them, especially when his opponent is Spielberg.

Although "Captain Hook" is also a science fiction film, as long as the director of this film is Spielberg, then it is worth looking forward to. The previous "ET" is a good proof.

Martin Lloyd, not being fooled by his peers, said firmly: "I know what you think, but I have seen Wu Jianye's skills from "Human Ghosts", and Spielberg values ​​"" "Captain Hook", Wu Jianye is also interested in "Jurassic Park", I don't think Wu Jianye is worse than Spielberg?"

"The rise of every hero starts with a newcomer, not to mention that Wu Jianye is no longer a newcomer. His success at the European Film Festival is enough to prove Wu Jianye's accomplishments in art films. I don't think this movie He will fail!"

In the end, neither of the two sides could convince anyone, and each chose to watch the movie he supported.

Naturally, Martin Lloyd couldn't walk the red carpet like those stars. He came to the theater early, found his place, and prepared pens and paper. This is his habit. The reaction and the content of the movie are recorded one by one, so that I can write my own comments after watching the movie!
But at this time, the movie hadn't started yet, and he was looking around at the contents of the theater.

Here he saw a lot of celebrities who had just walked the red carpet, and they also sat in their seats, and the acquaintances were still whispering to each other. Seeing those celebrities who had achieved fame, they sat down like ordinary movie fans. There, Martin Lloyd was in a trance.

After only one year, Wu Jianye's appeal in Hollywood has become terrifying, but then Martin Lloyd thought of the development of Phantom this year, and knew that there must be most of the artists because of Phantom. Came here.

But it doesn't matter, everyone knows the relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom, the relationship is as close as wearing a pair of pants.

After watching the stars, Martin Lloyd observed the audience again. This time, there is still a big difference from "Ghostly Love".

For example, when "Ghost Love" was released last time, there were more female audiences, but this time the male audience has obviously increased a lot.

Thinking about it, I can understand that the movie "Jurassic Park" is different from "Ghost Love". The last one was a romance movie, which naturally attracted more female star audiences, and this time "Jurassic Park" It was announced early that this is a sci-fi thriller, which obviously scared off many female audiences.

However, in the crowd, he still saw some familiar faces, such as the couple who sat not far from him at the premiere of "Ghost Love" before. Although he didn't know their names, Martin Lloyd still Memorized their appearance.

In fact, the familiar faces of Martin Lloyd are Fiona and Liam!

But this time the identities of the two have changed. The last time it was Fiona who took Liam to watch "Ghost Love", and this time it was Liam who took Fiona to watch "Ghost Story". Luo Ji Park "!
"Don't worry, I watched the trailer this time. The part where the Tyrannosaurus rex overturns the jeep in the trailer looks too exciting, and haven't you also read their publicity? The mold of the Tyrannosaurus rex is too domineering!"

Liam danced and said, he saw the content in the trailer.

Immediately after the promotional event in New York, "Jurassic Park" released the final version of the trailer, and finally the image of the dinosaur appeared in this trailer, that is, the part where the Tyrannosaurus rex overturned the jeep. Although it was only a flash, but The image of Tyrannosaurus Rex is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of every movie fan.

Fiona said helplessly: "I really don't know what you guys think, those dinosaurs look so scary, I still like to watch the romance movies made by Director Wu, do you think there is any "Human Ghost" in this movie? The classic love in Unfinished Love?"

At the end of the story, Fiona showed a longing expression on her face.

Even though the movie "The Love of Ghosts" has been drawn for a long time, the plot in it still makes countless people yearn for it, and so does Fiona.

Liam said with a smile: "I don't know about this. Think about it, those dinosaurs are all Cretaceous animals. I hope that Director Wu can restore them in the movie. It's really touching. Thank you The image of the Tyrannosaurus rex was released in the preview of "Jurassic Park" before, otherwise I really thought that this movie would be like some people said, the special effects are not good, so I have been afraid to release it!"

Although Fiona's enthusiasm for this movie is not as strong as Liam's, Wu Jianye has already conquered them girls who yearn for beautiful love with "The Love of Ghosts".

So she still pays some attention to this movie.

"Aren't the special effects good? I heard that more than half of the film's funds are spent on special effects!"

"Well, now I hope that the whole movie can be like the one in the trailer." Having said that, Liam said anxiously: "Oh, I really want to see this movie soon, my dear, you How many dinosaurs will be released in this movie?"

"By the way, the Velociraptor in the novel is really the worst. I don't know what they will be like?"

Listening to the conversation between the young couple, Martin Lloyd also smiled. Of course, he is different from ordinary audiences. He is more optimistic about the plot of this movie.

Film critics like them always have a habit of worrying that excessive rendering of special effects will weaken the story of the entire movie and become a complete special effects film.

This is also one of the reasons why many film critics were not optimistic about this movie. In their opinion, this is the first time Wu Jianye has been involved in a real sci-fi film. Some special effects shots, but more importantly, the content of the story.

But this time is different, "Jurassic Park" itself is a complete sci-fi film, they are worried that a director like Wu Jianye does not have enough skills to control such a film.

"I hope Director Wu will not disappoint you this time!" Martin Lloyd said softly.

Cheng Long has also entered the theater at this time, and at this time, relying on his previous accumulation, Cheng Long has already gained a high reputation in Hollywood.

But when he saw the starlight at the premiere of the movie "Jurassic Park", he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he might not be able to reach the current situation.

I'm jealous!
Cheng Long thought silently in his heart.

Although it seems to the outside world that the actors in front of the stage have more fans and higher popularity than the director, they know that it is almost impossible for an actor to reach such a height!

It's not just Cheng Long who is thinking about these things, but everyone else is also thinking about it. They don't know that Wu Jianye only plans to shoot two movies in Hollywood before going back. They think that as long as the box office of this movie can reach "Human Ghost" "Love is not over" in general, will find a way to find a relationship, and cooperate with Wu Jianye!

At this time, the time was almost up, and the main creators also began to enter the stage. With the entry of the main creative personnel, everyone became nervous, and everyone wanted to watch it. What will "Luo Ji Park" be photographed by Wu Jianye?

Following the usual practice, before the movie started, Wu Jianye introduced the filming of "Jurassic Park" on behalf of the main creators. However, Wu Jianye also understood everyone's feelings. After a brief introduction, announced
"Jurassic Park" has officially begun!
