The lights above the theater went out, and the screen gradually lit up.

Unlike the previous ones, this time there is no familiar mermaid pattern of Ryan Studios, but the iconic opening title of Orion Pictures.

Against the backdrop of countless stars, ten of the brighter stars slowly form a pattern, which belongs to the iconic pattern of Orion Films.

Let many audiences present below feel very familiar.

James Cameron, who was sitting above the guest seat, suddenly became filled with emotion as he watched the opening title appearing on the screen.

"Orion Pictures is back."

When James Cameron directed his first work "Piranha 2", he had a lot of trouble with the crew during the filming process.

So as soon as the filming ended, the producer kicked him away and refused to let him participate in the editing of the film.

In a fit of rage, James Cameron spent a lot of time writing the first script, preparing to write and direct it himself, without being restricted by the crew and the producer.

So "Terminator" was born, and the North American distribution company of "Terminator 1" was Orion Pictures back then.

Until now, he still clearly remembers the scene when "Terminator 1" was released on October 26, 1984.

On the first day of opening, it was screened in 1,005 theaters. In the first weekend, it earned a box office of 4 million U.S. dollars in three days. It won the first weekly box office champion in life, and soon won the second weekly box office champion.

In the end, the North American box office of "Terminator 1" was as high as 38.3 million US dollars, and the overseas box office was also as high as 40 million US dollars.

In one fell swoop, he became a famous and popular director in Hollywood, and at the same time made Arnold Schwarzenegger, a famous action star all over the world.

Now the iconic title of Orion Films once again appears in the "Terminator" series of films, as if everything has returned to the original point.

There are many people who feel the same way as James Cameron, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gail Anne Hurd, as well as some veteran employees in Orion Pictures.

As the official broadcast began, the main characters in the film appeared one by one.

Among them, the character played by Charlize Theron, in the film, is cold and delicate, wearing a tight leather jacket, which looks extraordinarily attractive, as if her every move can stir up male hormones.

For a moment, the more than 2,000 spectators sitting in the arena were firmly attracted by the figure of Charlize Theron on the screen, and there was even the sound of swallowing saliva subconsciously.

However, the fighting scene that followed left everyone dumbfounded once again, with all kinds of difficult moves fully showing the charm of the female body.

There is also the emergence of firearms. While jumping in the air, the trigger is constantly pulled. The combination of fighting movements and firearms is simply cool.

This is not a traditional Hollywood fighting style, but more like an ornamental action. With Charlize Theron's appearance, figure, and slender legs, it is completely a kind of enjoyment.

Different from the original fighting mode, Charlize Theron not only has an almost indestructible body, but also makes all kinds of dazzling fights.

"God, who is this female robot!"

"She's downright cool."

"Wow, I swear, I must be in love with her."

Compared with the exclamation of the audience in the field, some invited guests paid more attention to the fighting action itself.

"Is this gun art?"

Tom Cruise frowned and looked at the screen, some dazzling fighting movements, completely different from the fighting movements of current Hollywood movies, more ornamental and giving people a visual impact.

Although female action actors have not been recognized by Hollywood film companies.

But he had to admit that the series of fighting moves performed by Charlize Theron on the screen were really beautiful and messy.

Judging from his past experience, he will be welcomed by young people 100%, and it can even be said to be sought after.

"How did Ryan think of it, and even designed it, such an incredible way of fighting?"

As Tom Cruise, a recognized action star in Hollywood, he knows very well what kind of sensation the firearms technique on the screen will cause.

"I heard from Jon that it seems that the action guidance team that Ryan invited from Xiangjiang specially designed a set of fighting moves for Charlize-Theron."

Nicole Kidman said with a hint of envy, "And, that's just one of her selling points in the film."

Tom Cruise nodded, Nicole was right, the gunplay on the screen was only one of the selling points of the whole film.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and the bullet time special effects in the promotional trailer are the biggest selling points of the whole film.

"It's a good thing it wasn't released at the same time as this film." He suddenly said to himself with some fear.

"Terminator 3" is officially released on December 11th, and "Mr. Sweetheart" was originally scheduled to be released on December 13th, only two days apart.

Generally speaking, the impact of Hollywood commercial blockbusters will not exceed one week. That is to say, as long as the release time of two films is staggered by one week, there will not be too much competition.

However, there is only two days between the release time of "Mr. Sweetheart" and the release time of "Terminator 3", and there will inevitably be fierce competition.

Tom Cruise doesn't think his box office appeal can compete with the film in front of him.

It's not that he is not confident enough, and the film shown on the screen is really too visually impactful.

Even after just watching the beginning, there is a feeling that people can't stop.

When the film was filmed, Ryan knew very well that the popularity of the "Terminator" series of films was not because of the plot or literary drama, but the wonderful fighting scenes.

Therefore, there are very few literary dramas in the film, and there are no mysterious scenes. Watching the whole film from beginning to end, one word can sum up "cool".

As for the professional reputation of film critics and the media, it is not in his consideration at all.

What's more, the film's publicity needs of up to 40 million US dollars are enough to change many things.

No matter whether it is a film critic or the media, no one will have trouble with money.

As the fighting scenes appear one by one in the film, just as some people think that the plot of the whole film will follow this fighting style.

On the screen, bullets were fired from the muzzle of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Charlize Theron instantly leaned back and made a dodging motion.

At first glance, it seems that the movement is very fast, but the picture feels very slow. The flight trajectory of each bullet can be clearly seen, showing a 360-degree rotation.

Although most of the audience in the field have already seen the bullet time special effects in the promotional trailer.

But seeing the bullet time displayed on the screen at this time, he was still dumbfounded, and even couldn't believe his eyes.

This is the difference between the big screen and TV, and it will even be possible to be immersive in the future.

For example, in future 3D movies, only in cinemas can you feel the charm of 3D movies.

"Is this the bullet time that has been advertised?"

Looking at the visual impact displayed on the screen, George Lucas suddenly sighed and said: "The emergence of guns and bullet time, as well as shocking sound effects, will set off a technological revolution in the way Hollywood action movies are shot in the future. .”

"Ryan is about to cause a wave, a wave of new types of fighting movies."

Helen-Solomon shrugged and said, "This style will definitely be imitated, and even become a norm."

"It's just that not all directors can achieve this effect."

The same technique, the same style, in the hands of different directors, the final effect will never be exactly the same, it will only be very different.

"By the way, Helen, when the premiere is over, ask Ryan to give me the contact information of Xiangjiang's action director team George Lucas said suddenly.

He doesn't care about gun skills, or even bullet time.

But the fighting moves made by Charlize Theron in the film made his eyes shine, and he can completely integrate them into "Star Wars" to redesign Skywalker's fighting style.

"Can."

Helen-Solomon agreed immediately, and asked curiously after finishing, "Is it for the preparation of the new "Star Wars" film?"

News about George Lucas' upcoming reboot of the "Star Wars" series has never stopped.

It's just that most of the news is media speculation or fabricated fake news.

"It can be regarded as a preliminary agreement with 20th Century Fox. It is expected to start filming "Star Wars Prequel" in the middle of next year."

George Lucas did not hide his plan to film "Star Wars", "Star Entertainment Company has suitable actors who can be recommended to Lucasfilm for audition in advance."

It is a very shocking news that the shooting of a new "Star Wars" film will start in the middle of next year.

"Thank you, Uncle George." A look of joy flashed across Helen Solomon's face.

This is the "Star Wars" series of films, which has an unimaginable status in the United States. Once he becomes one of the main actors in the film, he will definitely become the darling of the media.

Besides, she knows George Lucas's filming habits very well. Once the filming of the "Star Wars" series is restarted, it will definitely not be just one film, but at least three films will be shot together one after another.

In other words, the actors in the film will shoot three "Star Wars" series films one after another.

It is conceivable that as long as this news is spread, there will be countless Hollywood actors rushing to sign with the star agency.
