Forty-Nine Debut

The premiere, the cheering crowd, the bombarded media, and the lively scenes, are making a good luck for the movie and promoting the movie. But this all requires money. Richard Kelly has no money. The entire production cost of "Death Illusion" is equivalent to a "Pearl Harbor" premiere. So, the premiere of "Illusion of Death" was moved to the Sundance Film Festival, bringing all the indie fans together to kick off the film.

The Salt Lake City area has been snowing since last night, and this morning, it has turned into a heavy snowflake. The snowflakes are smaller until noon, but the snow is already two inches thick, and it is clear when you step on the snow. Heard a creaking sound.

There was no sedan and no red carpet. Just like the previous two days, Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell set off for Park City, and then walked towards the studio where "Death Illusion" premiered. Snowflakes on Park City's main street have been shoveled once, but the constant stream of snowflakes still makes the streets slippery. The heavy snow solidified the fiery hearts of the fans, and the place where the eyes touched was still filled with people, but no one would pay special attention to Gu Luobei, as if he was just an ordinary person. This made Gu Luobei have no sense of reality, and he didn't feel that the movie he starred in was about to be released today.

At the entrance of the theater, Teddy Bell separated from Gu Luobei. He went to line up to enter the theater, while Gu Luobei was going to perform the obligation of the premiere: to be interviewed by the media. After all, both Teddy Bell and Gu Luobei still have no self-awareness. One has no manager's self-awareness, and the other has no artist's self-awareness. If it is normal, the agent should follow the artist and take care of everything. Then follow the artist into the backstage and handle affairs. But the two of them seemed to be just here for the film festival. Everything was the same as yesterday and the day before yesterday. Teddy Bell went to line up to get in.

After watching Teddy Bell leave, Gu Luobei saw the long queue at the entrance of the cinema, and he couldn't help feeling much better. At least there were still a lot of spectators preparing to watch "Death Illusion" today. Pulling his neckline to block the cold wind, Gu Luobei walked towards the side of the theater.

Richard - Kelly, Drew - Barrymore, Gina - Malone, Maggie - Gyllenhaal and others have arrived. Gu Luobei couldn't help but quicken his pace, "It seems that I'm the only one who is late."

"It's okay, we just arrived." Richard Kelly turned back and smiled at Gu Luobei, then turned back and said, "I hope the work can satisfy everyone." I don't know if the "everyone" refers to the crew staff, or all the audience.

Drew-Barrymore's eyes were always on Gu Luobei. He originally thought that the image of this man in his mind had faded after not seeing him for a few months, but when we met here, he realized that this man's charm is like a mellow man. The wine is generally unforgettable for a long time.

"Then I'll go out first, Bell, you can go out later." Drew Barrymore's eyebrows moved slightly, she believed that the man in front of her must have received the message she sent. After she finished speaking, she walked forward and passed Gu Luobei. Although the two had no contact at all, the faint licorice aroma on Gu Luobei's body made Drew-Barrymore smile even deeper. some.

In principle, the protagonist or director usually goes out first, but the "Death Illusion" crew is a newcomer. Since there is Drew Barrymore, the appealing star, she goes out first to bring some atmosphere to the scene. Attention is also a good choice. The same is true. Most of the reporters who came to the scene today are for Drew Barrymore. The Charlie's Angel who swept the golden autumn schedule last year is now the focus of attention.

Listening to the cheers outside, Gu Luobei only felt a little real at this time. Is this about to be officially exposed to the spotlight? Whether it was Broadway or Yingyan Music Festival before, Gu Luobei had never had direct contact with reporters.

Although he has been in this business on the Broadway stage for a long time, today can be regarded as the day when Gu Luobei officially entered the entertainment industry. Is it his debut? It shouldn't be counted, it's just an appearance.

Gu Luobei stood in the same place, and his mind was a little confused for a while. The memory of the previous life was confused with the memory of this life. One was the days when he was studying at Harvard University, the other was the days when he lived with her; the other was Catherine. , Teddy's caring and kind face, sometimes it's the indifferent expression of his parents in his previous life; sometimes it's the splendor of Broadway, and sometimes it's the bloody sky in a car accident... Suddenly, not too far away, the cheers broke through the cold wind. The obstacles broke into Gu Luobei's ears, and a burst of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the bottom of his heart, causing Gu Luobei to fight a cold war.

Gu Luobei stomped on the stiff feet and stepped on the cold and hard ground, only then did he have a solid feeling: this is not a dream, this is reality. He has been reborn, and has spent eighteen years in this world. In this life, he has been unrestrained and free to do whatever he wants, all the way to the present, and today, he is going to stand in front of the media flash and create a world that belongs only to him! This made Gu Luobei suddenly enlightened.

Perhaps, in the past eighteen years, he has not really integrated into this world. However, starting today, everything will be different.

If Teddy Bell stood here, he would have found that there was a deep and deep haze in Gu Luobei's eyes, so deep that people could hardly find the existence of this haze. The two brothers grew up together, Teddy -Bell just found some clues. But now, that unfathomable haze has dissipated a little bit, even if it's just a little bit, it makes Gu Luobei's melancholy more relaxed.

At this time, Richard Kelly saw Gu Luobei showing a smile. This smile is still the same as before. It's ruffian, with some unruly, seductive and sexy, but it's more incomprehensible. things that make the smile brighter. Richard Kelly pondered for a while, but couldn't find a reasonable explanation. He just thought that he was thinking too much and blamed everything on the invisible and intangible aura of Gu Luobei.

"Bell, it's your turn." Richard Kelly's voice called Gu Luobei out of his mind.

Gu Luobei let out a long sigh of relief and jumped on the spot, letting his frozen feet loosen. Subconsciously, his left hand touched the ring finger of his right hand, and rubbed the base of the finger. It's like there's something there that can be rotated. But soon, Gu Luobei let go of his hand again, smiled at Richard Kelly and others, turned around and walked out.

This is a very ordinary movie theater, located in the middle of the main street of Park City. During the Sundance Film Festival, the premiere of the participating films will be held at this movie theater. But the so-called premiere is actually not grand. Just in the aisle at the entrance of the cinema, there is a red carpet more than 20 meters long. To the right of the red carpet is a huge background board with the sign of "2001 Sundance Film Festival" on it. About five meters to the left of the red carpet, about twenty reporters gathered, holding professional cameras in their hands, ready to take photos that could be published.

There are not many movie fans around the red carpet. Movies that attract attention at the film festival can gather hundreds of movie fans, but the appeal of movies that do not attract much attention will be lower. At this time, there were less than 100 spectators gathered around the red carpet. Most of them were just here to watch the fun. The main reason is that "Death Illusion" has not received much attention, and fans who have paid attention have already queued up to watch the movie, so there are only two or three kittens in the place where the premiere goes through the motions.

But fortunately, Drew-Barrymore still has some appeal, and her appearance at least made the atmosphere lively a lot. Even the spectators who lined up to enter the venue from a distance also cheered in cooperation, and the momentum was not too embarrassing.

William Wood, now twenty-eight years old, has worked for "Entertainment Weekly" for five years, but is still a junior reporter. Although the qualifications are enough, there is always a lack of an opportunity for him to develop upwards, so he has been struggling at the forefront. The interview assignment at the Sundance Film Festival this time was a chore: no big names, all independent filmmakers; no leaks, all genuine films. However, yesterday's outstanding performances by "The Believer" and Ryan Gosling still made William Wood quite happy, and it can be regarded as an unexpected gain from coming to Salt Lake City this time.

"Death Illusion," which premieres today, was something William Wood had heard of before, especially since Drew Barrymore's investment gained a lot of attention. The same is true. Today, when Drew Barrymore played, he did get a lot of cheers from the scene.

After Drew Barrymore, it should be the time when the protagonist Evan Bell or the director Richard Kelly appeared. Many of the twenty reporters at the scene deserted. Unlike the appearance of big-name stars, everyone paid great attention. , I just hope to take more photos of better quality. Now all the newcomers who appear on the stage are unknown newcomers. They will also stand in front of the background board and let everyone take pictures, so everyone is not so concerned, and many people even start chatting.

William Wood was deserting too, but he was wiping the lens, and today the snow was falling and the lens was smeared and water stained, and the quality of the photos was definitely not much better. Although he was wiping the lens in his hand, William Wood's eyes did not leave the red carpet in front of him, looking forward to the appearance of Evan Bell.

Although Evan Bell is just a newcomer with no reputation, from the poster of "Death Illusion", even in Hollywood where handsome men and beauties gather, Evan Bell still has impressive capital. It's just that I don't know how real people are.

Just then, the protagonist appeared!

The first update of the new year, hehe, Seven Cats is greeting everyone! Then by the way, beg for collections and recommendations, ha.
