Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 750 is about to be released, big coffee gathers

The "Silence of the Lambs" publicity team was assembled and soon embarked on a publicity journey.

As a low-cost thriller movie, Spielberg did not carry out large-scale publicity, but only selected a few TV stations, and took the creators of the crew to participate in a few programs to complete it.

Instead, the Internet has become his main position.

Relying on the relationship between Zhang Xiao and Xunfei video website, Spielberg spent more than 2000 million US dollars to post the trailer of "The Silence of the Lambs" to the most prominent position on the website.

The trailer is very short, only 40 seconds long, and most of it is the wonderful performances of Zhang Xiao and Helena.

Obviously, the effect of the publicity is very good, and the comment area is completely occupied by movie fans.

"Oh my god, this is too scary!"

"The look in Zhang's eyes makes me shudder."

"The scene of Xiao Shen biting one ear and enjoying it all over his face successfully made me spit out the whole dinner."

"As a fan of thrillers, The Silence of the Lambs is already on my must-see list."

"The combination of Director Spielberg and Xiao Shen is simply perfect."

"I feel that the Hannibal played by Xiao Shen is likely to become a classic character like the clown."

"I don't want to say anything else, I just hope that time can pass quickly so that I can find some time to watch this movie."

"Yeah, although this movie is a thriller, I'm still looking forward to it."

"···"

There are three movies in the same period as "The Silence of the Lambs", and all other movies are released on Christmas Day.

Relatively speaking, the most famous one is this thriller movie co-produced by Spielberg and Zhang Xiao.

Therefore, when the pre-sale box office channel opened, "The Silence of the Lambs" took the lead, and in less than 24 hours, it successfully won a pre-sale box office of 1.2 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, due to the subject matter of this movie, the potential of this movie is very limited. In the next few days, the daily pre-sale box office of "The Silence of the Lambs" was only maintained at about 500 million US dollars.

Until December NO.18, the total pre-sale box office of the film "The Silence of the Lambs" successfully exceeded [-] million US dollars, and the time for the film's premiere has come.

Universal Cinemas New York.

Director Spielberg took Zhang Xiao and the main creative staff of the crew to stand at the entrance of the theater. Everyone chatted and greeted the guests who came to the premiere.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Director, I think you seem to be in a good mood these two days!"

Spielberg nodded, and said: "Yes, the pre-sale box office of "The Silence of the Lambs" can exceed [-] million US dollars, which relieves my pressure a lot, and my mood naturally improves."

Zhang Xiao said: "I thought that legendary directors like you and Cameron shouldn't be nervous, but I didn't expect that you are similar to those ordinary directors!"

Spielberg explained: "In fact, all directors in the world will be very nervous before the premiere of their films, no one is an exception. Because no one thinks that a director can be [-]% sure that his work will impress those who have more and more tastes. The pickier fans."

"Of course, you are an exception."

Hearing Spielberg's words, Zhang Xiao shook his head and smiled wryly: "You think too highly of me. When "Zhu Xian" was released, I seemed to be full of confidence on the surface, but in fact I was also quite nervous.”

Spielberg said: "With your wealth, do you still care about the box office of "Zhu Xian?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "It doesn't matter to me whether "Zhu Xian" can make money, but what I care about is word-of-mouth. As long as the word-of-mouth is good, even if it loses money, I will be happy, because it will make me feel a sense of accomplishment."

Spielberg said: "Zhang, do you know how much we envy you? With money and power, as long as you are interested in movie scripts, you can shoot without any scruples, but we people It's trembling, like walking on thin ice, for fear that the box office will not be good, and it will ruin its own brand."

Zhang Xiaodao: "After reaching the status of you and Mr. Cameron, even if the box office is not good, those investors should not do anything to you!"

"No, they will reduce the investment!" Spielberg said: "As far as Cameron is concerned, since he directed the movie, he has never failed at the box office, so even if he asks for a production cost of [-] million US dollars, the investment Merchants will also flock to it.”

"But, if his movie box office fails once, even if it is [-] million US dollars, investors need to think about it. There is no way, this is the reality."

After hearing Director Spielberg's words, Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Indeed, being a director is not an easy task. Compared with actors, the pressure on a director is much greater."

At this moment, there was a burst of screams from fans outside.

Zhang Xiao and Spielberg looked over after hearing the reputation, only to see Oscar winner Tom Hanks walking out of the car.

"Hey, aren't you filming? Why do you have time to come?" Spielberg and Hanks hugged and said happily.

Hanks is Spielberg's Queen's blessing. He has cooperated with many films such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Bridge of Spies". Almost every film can cause a strong storm in Hollywood. Talk more.

So he smiled and said, "I asked for leave in the name of Mr. Zhang."

Spielberg was taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?"

Hanks replied: "The biggest investor in the movie I made was Disney, so I told the Disney paper guy that their boss invited me to the premiere, and the paper guy let it go." , and asked me to question Mr. Zhang on his behalf."

"Hahahaha!" Hearing Hanks' words, Spielberg burst out laughing.

Zhang Xiao also said with a smile: "Mr. Hanks, it seems that you have to buy me a cup of coffee."

For Mr. Forrest Gump in the previous life, Zhang Xiao still admires him very much. He is low-key and has excellent acting skills. He can be regarded as a model actor.

Hanks shook hands with Zhang Xiao, and said, "No, it should be Director Spielberg who invites him to drink coffee, and wait until the box office of "The Silence of the Lambs" breaks through one billion dollars."

Zhang Xiaodao: "I believe this day will come soon."

The arrival of Hanks seemed to be the beginning, followed by Nolan, Cameron, Xiao Nizi and other big-name Hollywood filmmakers stepped onto the red carpet one after another, and the screams and cheers of the fans never stopped Pass.

Spielberg invited not many filmmakers, only a dozen or so, but each of them is the top Hollywood star. From this aspect, we can see the status of this old guy in the film industry.

At midnight, "The Silence of the Lambs" officially premiered.

When the movie first came up, there was a picture of the perverted murderer "Buffalo" Bill killing people. Although there was no skinning plot, when the police arrived and saw the cruel scene at the scene, it still caused a burst of exclamation from movie fans.

Soon, the heroine Helena appeared on the stage, and received a task from her superiors to go to the prison to visit the psychiatrist Hannibal and get some clues about the 'buffalo' from him.

In the theater, Nolan straightened his waist and asked, "Is the boss coming out?"

Cameron gave him a surprised look, and said, "Man, you seem to be very interested in Zhang's role!"

Nolan nodded, and said: "Zhang's criteria for selecting roles are very strict, I really want to know what kind of character this is that can attract him to the play "The Silence of the Lambs". "
