Chapter 478 Premiere after a two-year absence

On December 22, on Friday night local time in Los Angeles, a simulated version of the ancient Roman Arena was set up in front of the Temple Grand Theater. Warriors wearing Roman armor stood on both sides of the red carpet with swords and shields, like guards waiting for the king to review.

Two years later, North American fans finally ushered in the premiere of the movie starring Ryan...

A huge poster of Ryan wielding a horse and wielding his sword hanging in front of the Temple Theater seemed to herald the beginning of a new era. From today and next, the action scenes he starred in will appear on the big screen one after another.

When Ryan led Charlize Theron on the red carpet, there were shouts that could overturn the entire Hollywood outbreak. The neat "Ryan" almost passed through Beverly Hills and went straight to Santa Monica Harbour.

The sound of the reporter pressing the shutter was completely unheard. The flash light seemed to map the dark dresses they were wearing into silver. If it were not for the obstruction of dozens of strong bodyguards, Ryan and the others would never be able to move at all.

"Who else in Hollywood can cause such a sensation today?" A reporter from outside the crowd sighed.

"Ryan's influence is indeed unparalleled." The person next to him pointed at Charlize Theron in a one-shoulder dark evening dress, "The diamond stood by his side, and it was even more powerful!"

"A handsome man and beautiful woman..."

"Wrong! It's the prince and Cinderella!"

Walking to the middle of the red carpet, he was closer to the fans on both sides. Ryan heard that, in the warm cheers, there were still many girls attacking Charlize, and immediately accelerated his pace.

"It's okay." Charlize followed Ryan's footsteps and chuckled, "I've been used to it for so long."

I have already stood beside him. Who cares about a few insults?

When he arrived at the interview area, Ryan patted his slender arm. Charlize nodded sensibly and walked directly into the Temple Grand Theater. He casually answered several questions about the movie, ignored the reporter's love affair, and found Leonardo, who had also been interviewed by the reporter, took a routine photo with other crew members, and walked towards the theater together.

"I went to Giselle's hometown some time ago. The sunshine, beach and enthusiastic Brazilian beauties were so charming." Leonardo talked about his recent vacation trip, "It's simply a paradise on earth."

"It is also a paradise for crime." Ryan remembers that Brazil is indeed beautiful and the security is enough.

"That's true." Leonardo nodded, looked at the staff dressed as a Roman warrior curiously, and followed Ryan into the theater gate. "I have seen with my own eyes that the kids playing football on the beach take out a pistol from the sand, and after robbing tourists, they continue to play, without any fear of attracting police."

When he entered the theater, Ryan politely greeted the guests. No matter what, he was the starring actor of this movie. If someone else came here, he would be able to support you. A few greetings are bound to be indispensable.

When he was a child, he received rigorous British etiquette training, and the social skills he had developed over the years made him feel relaxed and relaxed.

Charlize, who held his arm, always kept a decent smile and fully showed his beauty and temperament. He looked like a hostess.

"Hi, Shirley." When he came to several people, Ryan happened to hear the movie topic they were talking about, "What are you talking about?"

The person who asked was Ryan, Shirley Lansing, as if he had found a victim, complained, "A few days ago, the Germans asked us why we could win 3,600 theaters for "Gladiator", while "The War" only has 1,500. Ryan. Can you help me reply?"

Ryan understood that she was joking, shrugged casually, and said nothing.

The theater companies pay more attention to actual interests than the producers. Even if the movies are not open, if they show the potential for a big sale, they will definitely increase the number of screens without hesitation, but "The War to the City" is obviously not in this ranks.

Like "Ghost" in this life and "Blair the Witch" in the previous life, how many years will it take to make a bad movie an example of a big-selling movie?

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the cooperation between Ryan and Paramount Pictures over the years, which side will they focus on?

Not only did a large number of stars come, Jenkins Film also invited many seniors from the academy. The chairman of the academy, Robert Lyme, was present in person. After Ryan stepped forward to say hello, Harvey Weinstein and Pie Kingsley were with them to chat.

"There is no guess as to what kind of character can win the best actor and actress."

When he walked into the screening room and sat in his seat, Ryan stroked Charlize's finger and whispered something about Oscars, "But if he doesn't do a public relations role, he will definitely not have a chance with Xiao Jinren!"

"So you are very confident this year?" Charlize asked in his ear.

"No one can guess the result until the last moment."

Thinking of his age and the previous storm, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head, "The judges always have a way to make you speechless."

"For example, last year." Charlize naturally thought of the best film of "Pianist" last year, "with another heavyweight award to compensate?"

Ryan avoided answering, but instead talked about Charlize, "You have read some of the scripts I wrote. Do you have any thoughts?"

"I'm going to shave my eyebrows and put on ugly makeup, that's all." Charlize showed the right complaint, "but I'll gain thirty pounds, God, I can imagine myself bloated now."

"It's just temporary." Ryan had no choice but to comfort him.

"Don't think I don't know. You don't like women with overweight figures the most." Charlize leaned closer, "Will you still be intimate with me then?"

"Of course." Ryan nodded without hesitation.

"Men always measure women by appearance." Charlize deliberately showed disbelief, "Okay, my dear, if you can't stand it anymore, you can go find them."

This is not a good topic. Ryan wisely chose to remain silent and waited for the beginning of the movie.

Outside the Temple Grand Theater, the crowds on both sides of the red carpet quickly dispersed. Those who were lucky enough to get the premiere tickets couldn't wait to enter the theater. Gene and Luya were naturally one of them. Although they must be able to sit behind, being able to see the movie one step ahead of others is the greatest happiness for fanatical movie fans like them.

The movie is about to begin, and there is silence between them, and keeping quiet is the minimum politeness to watch the movie, and everyone is waiting for this epic masterpiece.

The lights went out in rows, and the big screen gradually became brighter. Paramount Mountain and Jenkins Films opened one after another, and then a text introduction to the background of the film's story.

"This is an unprecedented huge empire, with its borders extending from North Africa to the northern part of England. Its emperors held the power of life and death for one-third of the world's population. The name of this empire is Rome!"

"In the winter of 180 AD... if the war against the Germans were won, the Roman Empire would be peaceful forever!"

Today, the largest ticket shop for movies in the world is still North America, and a lot of Americans do not pay attention to history outside their country at all. Whether it is to supplement the movie story or take care of North American audiences, such an introduction is essential.

"Roman Empire? Is it really that big?" Luya, who had always been active, couldn't help but say, "Didn't you check the relevant background information before watching the movie? Alas..."

After pulling his wife for a moment, Gene told her to keep quiet, and there were already dissatisfied eyes around her. If anyone was interrupted from watching the movie, she would not be happy.

The first complete picture of the movie is a close-up of Ryan. He wore a gorgeous Roman armor and fur shawl and reviewed his own square formation. The greetings of the soldier's "general" not only pointed out his identity, but also explained that this was a commander who was loved by soldiers.

"Courage and glory!"

"Courage and glory!"

This dialogue that appeared many times was undoubtedly the best portrayal of the Roman soldiers at that time.

Most of the people who play the Roman Legion soldiers are hired by English soldiers. These are disciplined troops, and even in the film, they show a rigorous lineup.

The Germans composed of extras, you don’t have to watch them too much, just know that they are a group of mobs.

There is not much to show off the individual at the beginning of the movie. A fierce opening battle, although too routine, is one of the best ways to attract audiences to watch.

Then, there was a great battle between the Roman legion and the Germans. Although the Romans showed advanced weapons such as catapults, crossbows, and longbowmen, and also launched cavalry and infantry attacks, the movie was like the filming, and soon fell into a state of chaos like street melee.

Ridley Scott is a major Hollywood director after all. After post-modification and montage editing, the shots here are switched very quickly, making the battle extremely fierce and bloody, forming a strong visual impact.

"Why do I feel suffocating?" Luya thought to herself, and grabbed her husband's arm tightly.

Gene's eyes never left the big screen, and he tacitly patted his wife's hand that was afraid of.

The war is fierce, the death is cold, the sword pierced the Germanic body, and the axe cut off the Roman warrior's head. With such a fierce and bloody scene, the movie's level can naturally be rated as R-level.

The camera is mainly placed on Maximos, played by Ryan, and many of them give close-ups of the facial features. The Roman general is brave and good at fighting, and he has no hesitation when he should use killing to solve the problem.

Perhaps some people will rate this opening scene as a reflection on the brutal war.
