Chapter 479 479 The Stage Is Set Up
Thomas Verlander soon met Charlize and Alex. Charlize, with her elegant, cool, and almost perfect figure, was a tall, well-proportioned model, and she was a Burberry fit without a doubt. , and Thomas is quite amazing, you can imagine what kind of sensation Charlize would make if he appeared on the red carpet of the premiere with Hugo in a Burberry dress - obviously Thomas regarded Charlize as a Hugo's girlfriend.
As for Alex, his appearance and temperament are very good, but compared to Burberry, he is too lively. If it was before, Thomas would not take the initiative to sponsor Alex's type of actor. It's not that he doesn't like it, but it's just not suitable. Thomas thinks that a brand with bolder colors will be more suitable for Alex.
But today's occasion is very special, because it is Hugo's request.
Although the negotiation between Thomas and Joseph went well, Thomas knew that Joseph was just an agent, and Hugo himself was the one who really played a role. And now in the entire fashion circle, there are not a few brands that set their sights on Hugo. Everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts. , People have their own judgments about Hugo's future development. Although the current Hugo cannot be said to be hot-because "Schindler's List" is a time bomb, Hugo can definitely be called a gifted potential share.
In order to win this cooperation, Burberry defeated two powerful competitors - Givenchy, which has always had a good relationship with Hugo, and Armani, who hopes to restore the partnership with Hugo. Now, now that Burberry has decided to work with Hugo, they have to stick to it, so it's better to go with Hugo's needs, not to mention, it's not a difficult decision, just let Alex wear it too Just wear Burberry clothes.
After deliberation, Thomas returned to Burberry's Los Angeles branch, carefully selected the new clothes designed for this fall and winter, and returned with the company's in-house design assistant.
Choosing clothes is not so simple. After the clothes are put on, it is necessary to modify the details and parts according to the body lines of the person wearing the clothes, so as to maximize the design of the clothes themselves. Generally speaking, the preparation of evening dresses for an awards ceremony will start two months in advance, and these details and modifications will be done manually by professionals, but for occasions like movie premieres, it is not so particular, and it may be more Temporarily fix it with pins, and then restore it to its original state after the premiere is over.
That's why Thomas came again with a design assistant.
After Alex, Hugo, and Charlize had all chosen their outfits, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Thomas didn't make any further moves. He just finished his work politely and left with his assistant. This is a long-term project and there is no need to rush it.
After entering the 21st century, because people's aesthetic views generally tend to "be thin as beauty", the control of actresses on body shape is becoming more and more strict, so that many actresses begin to ban them twenty-four hours before the award ceremony. Eating, starting this work 36 hours before serious, relying only on high-calorie foods such as bananas and strawberries to maintain basic functions of the body.
Although people are always harsh on women, in Hollywood, male actors are no exception, maybe they will not ban fasting, but they will start to control food before an important ceremony or premiere. The most typical is at noon on the day of the premiere or the award ceremony. Actors and actresses will not eat. On the one hand, it is to avoid problems such as overeating, which causes abdominal bulge; on the other hand, it is also to avoid uncontrollable physical instincts, such as bad breath or fart; of course, on the other hand, because the schedule of the grand event will be very busy, and there is no Time to eat.
This is perfectly normal, because just controlling your diet for twelve hours doesn't do much harm. That's why there's usually a buffet at a premiere or an awards show, in case someone has a real health problem -- say, low blood sugar -- and can't find emergency food.
Of course, in order to avoid the ugliness of eating in front of the camera, most celebrities will not choose to eat at the buffet, but also because of the reasons mentioned before, since they have endured for twelve hours or more, they often do not Just an hour or two away. In such cases, often a single piece of chocolate can solve many problems.
Although this situation mainly occurs in the 21st century, in fact, in any era, people's requirements for manners are very strict. From the upper class, it has always been advocated to use waistcoats and corsets to sculpt women's thin waists. You can see it, so even in the nineties, it was.
In the early 1990s, because of the popularity of action movies, men's requirements for body shape are not weaker than women's; and women's trend of taking thinness as beauty has gradually emerged, but it has not yet formed a general trend. Still, most of the cast won't eat on the day of the premiere.
Therefore, the three of Hugo didn't eat at noon. They simply ate a few pieces of chocolate and bananas, cushioned their stomachs, and then rested for a while, but it felt like they didn't sit for long, and it was time to leave. A group of three got into the rental car and headed towards Zhong. Depart from National Theater.
The premiere of "Schindler's List" is scheduled for. The grand opening of the National Theater, Universal Pictures attached great importance to this premiere. I heard that nearly 80 companies were invited by the media alone, and 500 invitations were sent for the premiere, which shows the sincerity of Universal Pictures. .
Although it is said that "Schindler's List" only invests 22 million, although even the director himself believes that the film will be a success, although the whole Hollywood is undecided about this film... But, only one name is needed: Steven Spielberg, that's enough.
For the media, no matter what their views on the movie's prospects, they won't miss the premiere. If the movie is a success, they're happy to add to Steven's legacy; on the other hand, if the movie fails, the media is absolutely happy to do it.
Especially "Schindler's List" is a film full of humanistic care, which is also a subject that everyone agrees that Steven is not good at. Back then, a "Purple" won a lot of praise, but it is still far from a classic. There is a distance, so people are more willing to call Steven a "commercial director" rather than admit his artistic accomplishment. So what about "Schindler's List" this time? Will Steven ruin such a time of history that can make a classic?
There are countless media waiting to see a good show.
Therefore, the premiere of "Schindler's List" is like a stage. The audience is full of people. What they care about is not whether the show is good or not, but what kind of way they should boo after the show. Even if Universal Pictures doesn't hold a grand premiere, the media won't miss it.
Hugo distance. When the National Theater was still a hundred yards away, I saw the bustling crowd at the entrance of the theater. The whole street was very lively, and it was visually estimated that there were at least 500 people blocking the far door of the script. I had been here before the premiere of Hugo's "Righteous Sea Heroes". The National Theater, but obviously, the scale of that day was not on the same level as today. The turbulent crowd in front of me does not look like a movie with only 22 million investment, but it looks like the original The scene of "Terminator 2" when it was released - you must know that "Terminator 2" is the first film in the history of American movies to invest more than 100 million yuan regardless of inflation.
Hugo looked back at Charlize and Alex who were sitting next to him. Joseph sat here a few times before, and then comforted him not to be nervous, but today the situation has changed drastically. This is the second time that Alex has attended the premiere after "Sleepless in Seattle", and he is still in a state of acclimatization; while Charlize is the first time ever to make a public appearance in front of the media, and his mood is even more uneasy. So, Hugo, the most experienced, has no room for nervousness, because he has to calm down for the two best friends to calm down.
Thinking of this, Hugo laughed instead, which made Charlize and Alex look puzzled. Hugo chuckled and said, "Originally, you accompany me to the premiere to relieve my nervousness. , but look at you, now the air in the car is almost completely cleaned by you." Hugo's teasing made both of them look helpless, but there was no way to restrain the nervousness of the fast heartbeat. It was looking at Hugo dryly, speechless.
Hugo's smile became more relaxed, and he patted Alex on the shoulder lightly, "I'm serious, if you guys are really nervous, I can do it myself, the premiere is not a big scene. You guys You can leave in a car."
Alexton was depressed, "Don't underestimate us like that, okay? We're not cowards."
"Yes, that's right." Charlize nodded again and again, "Besides, we've all dressed up, and it's not worth going back like this. You know, we're busy at half past five. "
In fact, everyone who is active in this circle is longing for a bigger stage and more attention, because this means success. So, if you want to escape the limelight, leaving Hollywood is the right choice. Charlize and Alex both knew this, and they naturally wouldn't hold back.
Hugo saw that his aggressive approach had worked, and the two of them did relax a bit, and said with a smile, "You are right, in fact, today's premiere is not a big scene, I think you can handle it. ,Right?"
"Uh...you're going to be with us, right?" Hearing Hugo's tone, how could he feel like he was going to leave the two aside, Alex immediately asked uncertainly. Don't want to, Hugo laughed immediately, his eyes were full of pride, and Alex knew immediately: he was fooled.
