Chapter 124： first encounter

The temperature in Los Angeles has always been relatively moderate, neither too hot nor too cold, making it very suitable for living.

However, July and August are still the hottest months in Los Angeles.

On August 31, 1995, with the end of the summer vacation, "The Evil Spirit" officially kicked off its release.

On Thursday night, the last day of August, the premiere ceremony of "The Evil Spirit" was held at the China Grand Theater.

Of course, tomorrow, Friday, September 1, "The Evil Spirit" will be officially released in North America.

Friday, September 1st, Saturday, September 2nd, Sunday, September 3rd, and September 4th are Labor Day, and at least three days of holidays will be the last twilight of the summer vacation.

"Kevin Bacon, Julia Louis De Duanfors, Robert De Niro..."

Looking at the main film creators walking past, a reporter was somewhat disappointed and said, "It seems that 20th Century Fox has not invited big-name stars over."

"I think 20th Century Fox's choice is very correct." A female reporter next to her said, "No matter how many big-name stars are invited to help out, the core of the film will always be the content, and it will always rely on the box office to speak."

"What's more, "The Evil Spirit" is only a horror movie. If there are too many famous stars, it will distract the attention of the media, which is not a good thing for the promotion of the movie."

"Well, I admit that you are right." Another reporter said helplessly, "I'm afraid I won't get any valuable news today."

"It is said that the internal audition for "The Evil Spirit" was not very satisfactory, and it may face a dismal box office situation."

The female reporter smiled slightly and said: "I don't think so, Ryan Gosling is a guy who can perform miracles, the box office of "The Evil Invasion" may not be too bad, at least I will contribute a movie to this film." ticket."

"Why?" Another reporter asked curiously.

The female reporter didn't choose to answer, but there was a slight arc at the corner of her mouth, which was somewhat unpredictable.

Not long after, Ryan walked over with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman, causing a burst of flashes from media reporters.

However, Ryan did not choose to stay, and walked quickly across the red carpet. Facing the flashing lights, Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman also did not intend to stop, and walked forward quickly.

Even in the face of reporters from Fox TV, Ryan did not choose to stay for an interview, but walked quickly into the Chinese Grand Theater.

Next, the crew members of "Independence Day" appeared, causing a climax at the scene, and there were huge cheers, which almost overshadowed "The Evil One".

Bill Pullman, starring in "Independence Day", became popular this year because of his role in "Love at Second Sight".

"Love at Second Sight" is a film produced by Disney with a budget of 17 million U.S. dollars, with a box office of 9.28 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, a North American box office of 81.05 million U.S. dollars, and a global box office of 182 million U.S. dollars.

While making Disney a fortune, as the film starring Bill Pullman, he has become one of the hottest stars of the moment.

(By the way, "Love at Second Sight" is adapted from "While You Were Sleeping", the author is Yan Qin, a Hong Kong female writer.)

When I came to the theater, I sent Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman to the seats of the main creative staff of the crew to sit down, and told Lei Sancheni to keep an eye on the two little guys, so as not to explode again A never-ending war.

Well, I don't remember how many wars the two of them have had.

Ryan stepped to the guest seat, sat down next to Roland Emmerich, and said hello.

"Roland, I'm glad you're here," Ryan said.

Roland-Emerich was talking to two women, one big and one small, beside him. When he heard Ryan's voice, he raised his head and said, "Hi, Ryan, nice to meet you."

"But it's a pity that Monica couldn't come together."

Monique Bellucci, just went back to Italy these few days, it seems that he has just received a brand endorsement and needs to go back to attend a signing ceremony.

It's not a famous brand, it's just a local Italian brand, but the endorsement fee is still considerable.

Actors from many other countries will choose to endorse some domestic brands, which can be regarded as an advantage of foreign actors.

For example, Jackie Chan, who often travels in North America and Hong Kong City, even if the box office in North America is not ideal, he can still choose to return to Hong Kong City for development.

"It's really a pity." Ryan really felt a little pity, otherwise, there would be some special programs tonight.

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on two women, one big and one small. The younger one was about fifteen years old, with long dark brown hair and wearing a long white dress, very beautiful.

It's just that the mouth is slightly bigger and looks weird, but it doesn't spoil her beauty.

Another adult woman has a very mature appearance. She looks like she is thirty or forty years old, but overall, she can still see the beauty of her youth.

——

Ryan seemed to feel a little familiar with her face, as if he had seen her somewhere.

Seeing Ryan's gaze, Roland Emmerich gave a brief introduction and said, "Ms. Kate McGolly and her daughter."

"Kate is a singer and actor, and his father, Joe, is a well-known TV host in Philadelphia."

Famous TV presenter in Philadelphia!

Ryan showed a little surprise. Philadelphia is not a small city. It is the fifth largest city in the United States after New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston. A famous host obviously has some good contacts.

"Hi, Ms. Kate."

"Director Ryan, hello." Kate-McGolly was very enthusiastic and started talking to Ryan.

She is a good singer and actress, but she is not a famous singer or actor. The only thing she can rely on is the contacts left by her father, so she is very enthusiastic about Ryan.

"Bill Pullman, a great choice." Ryan said pointedly.

Bill Pullman's popularity this year will definitely help the release of "Independence Day" in the future, and when he signed the contract, his film salary was not too high. If it is based on the current commercial value, it will definitely increase a lot.

Roland Emmerich showed a smug smile and said, "Sometimes luck is so easy."

Apparently he was lucky.

After chatting for a while, Ryan got up to say goodbye, and returned to the chief creative seat of the crew. He is the producer and director of the film and needs to stay with the crew.

On the seat belonging to the crew members of "Independence Day", Bill Pullman glanced at Ryan's back when he left, and said to Will Smith: "Ryan Gosling, a lucky guy."

"But he does have some talent."

"What you said is very correct." Will Smith thought for a while and said, "Ryan Gosling is at least a very good director."

"Of course if you want to pursue Monica, I will support you."

Bill Pullman shook his head and said, "Although Ryan Gosling is an out-and-out playboy, it doesn't mean that I will pursue Monica."

"Even though I admit that Monica is very charming."

Marrying a female star is obviously not a good choice, at least Bill Pullman will not marry a female star.

"Okay, let's see how "The Evil Invasion" is. Is it as rumored, a work that is about to fail." Bill Pullman quickly shifted his focus.

At the end of the summer vacation in 1995, except for "The Evil Spirit", no commercial production was released in a short period of time. At least until the release of "Seven Deadly Sins" at the end of September, there was no need to worry about competition.
