Chapter 871 hard-edged
Brian Barlow yelled out his question hoarsely, and it exploded like a thunderbolt on the ground, which startled Brian too. This was obviously an unexpected situation, but the panic only passed by. Ryan’s attention was then focused on Lance again. Today is the best opportunity to push Lance into a corner. He will never miss it easily, absolutely not.
In an instant, all the eyes of the audience couldn’t help but cast their gazes here. Even Alexander Payne, who had always been deaf to things outside the window, stopped and stood not far away to watch.
I saw that Lance still had a smile on his face, gentle and elegant. Hearing this question, he slightly raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised by the directness and impulsiveness of the reporter. Then he looked straight at Brian, the corner of his mouth But the arc of the mouth rose slightly, “One hundred percent.” He paused every word, enunciated clearly, neither humble nor overbearing, calm and unhurried.
Phew, the reporters could clearly hear the sound of gasping for breath. They made various speculations about Lance’s reaction, including tit-for-tat, but they never expected that Lance would reveal the truth without reservation. Even in the summer showdown between “Troy” and “The Day After Tomorrow” two years ago, Lance did not see such a brazen head-on collision, and almost responded by hitting a wall.
Since the opening of the summer file, the duels about “Superman Returns”, “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” and “Fury Road” have been exaggerated, but for the audience, this is just a summer box office showdown, nothing special. The significance of this is that the smell of gunpowder does not seem to be too strong. Warner Bros., Disney, and Sony Pictures hidden behind it did not directly tear their faces. All the undercurrents are only stirring inside Hollywood.
Before that, whether it was “Superman Returns” or “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, they didn’t specifically target the “Fury Road” crew, and even showed a harmonious attitude during the promotional period, as “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” The script writer, Lance’s name was also repeatedly mentioned in the publicity process – tonight Keira Knightley also attended the premiere of “Fury Road” on behalf of the crew, it seems that the summer file war that the media is in full swing is just “healthy competition”.
But now, Lance actually directly broke through the window paper, and put “Fury Road” directly on the opposite side of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” without any scruples, looking arrogant, defiant, and proactive. It’s really hard to feel good about him.
This means that Lance fell into Brian’s trap…? As smart as Lance, is it really easy to be blown up by Bryan with a single question?
However, no one is willing to think about this doubt for the time being, because Lance officially declared war, and the adrenaline of the reporters exploded at the same time, just like a fireworks display on the Fourth of July, their eyes burst into a terrifying light, and they wished to use their eyes directly Just stripped Lance naked.
“Lance, so you’re saying that ‘Fury Road’ will win over ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’ and achieve box office success? You know, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’ set a record last week!” Brian was so excited that he almost couldn’t bear it. Unable to resist the urge to scream, the remaining rationality launched an aggressive attack again, truly putting “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” and “Fury Road” in the red and blue stages of the group arena.
“Of course.” Lance’s answer was still understated, with a confident arrogance and even a hint of contempt, but at this time Brian didn’t care at all. Lance’s answer alone is enough to bombard the headlines of major newspapers tomorrow. Then I saw Lance shook his head slightly with a smile, and then said, “I don’t know what kind of mentality you guys are attending tonight’s premiere, you’re always assuming the premiere of ‘Fury Road’ It’s too bad that it’s going to fail at the box office. I never know when a movie is put in with the end goal of failing.”
The sharp sarcasm unabashedly stabbed at Brian, as well as the reporters who were watching the fun. Almost only with one question, Lance shifted the focus to the reporters—Brian’s cheeks couldn’t help but feel a little hot He was so anxious just now that he presupposed his position when he asked the question. Not only him, but almost all reporters subconsciously believed that “Fury Road” failed, but they said it was the same thing in private. Coming to the table is another matter.
“I think you’ve misunderstood.” A voice broke the brief silence to save Bryan, and it was Cliff Robinson of the Los Angeles Times, “‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’ made North American history last week For the record, that’s a lot of pressure for any movie, how does Fury Road handle that kind of box office pressure right now? Are you confident enough in the box office?”
Cliff quietly brought the focus back again, and secretly accused Lance of being too sensitive—was it because of too much pressure?
Lance’s eyes fell on Cliff, and he paused slightly. If he wants to get out of trouble now, it’s actually very simple. It’s enough to praise the historical record of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, for example, as a screenwriter, he joked, “It seems that my salary has been settled.” He is on the same side as the “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” crew, so this topic can naturally be covered.
However, Lance slightly restrained his smile and put on a serious attitude, “Of course. In fact, I was talking about this with Albert yesterday. ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’ is our goal. We hope Friends from the audience can help us achieve this goal.” After speaking, the smile bloomed again, and the sparkling light in those blue eyes was full of confidence and ambition.
Is ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’ a target for ‘Fury Road’? 135 million?
This may be the best joke I have heard since 2006. The reason why the box office record of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” caused such an uproar is because of the difficulty of creating this record, not to mention that there are only five in North American film history. The premiere weekend of this work earned a box office of 100 million. It can be seen that the premiere record of “Spider-Man” has been maintained for four years, and it has only been broken by “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” until now.
Now, just a week after “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” set the record, Lance wants to break it? And still relying on the sword to walk the slanted “Road of Fury”? This is simply fantasy, overreaching, and ridiculous.
Bryan couldn’t hold it back for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth burst into big smiles, “So, do you want to replicate the miracle of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ three years ago?” The Road” is not backed by Disney.
Lance suddenly withdrew his smile, and the serious expression made the atmosphere slightly condensed—is Lance going to turn his back? “I said ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’, not ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, I think Johnny wouldn’t like to hear you making random comparisons like this.” The gentleman who got Lance was friendly.
The goal of “Fury Road” is “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, not any other work, but the 135 million of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”. Without any cover, without any packaging, without any beautification, Lance declared the ambition and goal of “Fury Road” carelessly in this way, fully showing all the edges with his arrogant and unruly posture.
The scene was suddenly silent, and Brian’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth—is Lance crazy? How dare you boast so much? The surprise was so turbulent, almost like a dream, that Brian couldn’t believe it.
In addition to not directly saying that “Fury Road” will earn 136 million US dollars at the box office, Lance almost completely aimed his guns at “Pirates of the Caribbean 2”, which is completely insane. If “Fury Road” fails, then the media will definitely not be merciful, especially when dealing with such arrogance, the media reporter’s pen is even more familiar, and Lance will fall into the predicament of being pushed down by the wall, and the situation is bound to be terrible !
Or is it that Lance has already foreseen the end of failure, smashed the can, used the idea of hype, put down the wild words desperately, and created more topical gimmicks?
I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out, why Lance, who has always shown a wise and alert image, suddenly doesn’t care?
Javier has a faint guess in his heart. He thought of the special premiere tonight. Could it be that Lance intends to make a statement~www.readmtl.com~ Regardless of the success or failure of “Fury Road”, under the oppression of Disney and Warner Bros. Next, he didn’t intend to give in easily? Or is Lance laying the groundwork and telling people that the cooperation of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2” is not as simple as it seems on the surface?
But even Javier can’t see the whole situation, can’t figure out the truth, all thoughts seem to be hidden in a fog, but Javier can be sure that Lance is definitely not a person who acts impulsively, when “City of God” “The difficulties and obstacles faced during filming can be seen.
Javier couldn’t help but sweat. Tomorrow’s vigor and vigor in the news media is already foreseeable, but can “Fury Road” really withstand the turbulent waves and bombardment? Even though he was full of confidence in Lance, there was still a layer of sweat on his back at this moment.
With a flash of inspiration, Cliff shouted, “Lance, are you challenging ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 2’ now?” Cliff guessed that according to the current development trend, Lance would not deny it. If not, then tomorrow’s headlines have already been born.
Sure enough, Lance nodded with a smile, “Captain Jack Sparrow, are you ready?” The audience was stunned, so excited that they couldn’t react at all, so they were dumbfounded and stunned. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
