Producer [American Entertainment]

On May 1982, 5, on Wednesday, "Star Wars 25: Return of the Jedi" (the third part of the main story, with three prequels before it) premiered in Los Angeles as scheduled, sounding the clarion call for this year's summer file battle .

Both William and Spielberg attended the premiere at the invitation of producer Lucas.

William arrived earlier. After all, he is not the protagonist today, and he has no intention of stealing the limelight at all.The female companions who alighted from the car with William were Margaret and Lydia, Sabatino's reward for gossipgirl's outstanding contribution to the previous Wilson Pornographic.

Well, it wasn't Sabatino who offered it, but the Marguerite trio wanted to come.

The conversation at that time was basically as follows:

Sabatino: "The website is doing a good job, what incentive do you want?" Pay raises and vacations are fine.

(Without thinking) Margaret & Lydia: "I want to have an intimate encounter with God William!" Glass's opinion was ignored.

Sabatino frowned: "Change it, William is too busy recently."

(Not short of money) Margaret & Lydia: "Then when the male god is free, we want to treat him to a meal! Choose from the three Michelin stars in the world."

Sabatino said desperately: "...you should accompany him to the premiere of "Star Wars"."

(Having planned this for a long time) Margaret & Margaret & Technologist Glass said decisively: "Deal!"

There are three main persons in charge of the Gossipgirl website, but William received only one companion allowed in the invitation letter. Even though William asked Lucas for a few more invitation letters later, it still failed to solve the most fundamental problem—— — Both Margaret and Lydia wanted to be the female companion who could stand beside William.

Glass was very witty, quit the war early, and made an appointment with his good friend (now a good colleague who also works at Microsoft) Little Wheeler, and planned to go to the premiere together.Equipped with the most expensive custom suits, the rarest hairstyles, and the most excited mood like a child.The significance of Star Wars to tech nerds is really very different.

William was a little annoyed.

In the end, it was inevitable that the two girls would fall in love and kill each other, so William decided to take the two girls to attend together.Of course, this was done by greeting Lucas in advance, and Lucas only smiled and teased William with the words "the blessing is not shallow", and nodded happily in agreement.

The flamboyant Margaret in the red dress is like a budding red rose, and the restrained Lydia in the white dress is like a quiet white lily. The two girls are young and beautiful, each with its own merits, and it is very rare to see each other. She is a beautiful woman, and her gestures are full of elegance and generosity that is difficult for ordinary people to learn.At the moment William emerged from the extended car with one arm in his hand, the three of them attracted the spotlight of the audience, which completely failed William's low-key plan.

The media reporters kept calling William's name, and even the short interview session before the red carpet had to be extended for a specific analysis of the situation.

"These two are my friend's daughters, who are not yet of age. I hope that friends from the press will be merciful." William took the initiative to explain to the media that this was a move he had never done in so many interviews before.

Because of the influence of Mary's mother since he was a child, William always pays special attention to taking care of the women around him. As long as the other party does not take the initiative to provoke, he will treat him gently.William has a lot of experience with the media's verbal swords and swords. He can bear it because he doesn't care, but the two underage girls are not necessarily so.It is said that Margaret had a not-so-pleasant experience of being bullied on campus last year, and William naturally did not want her nightmare to repeat itself.

Margaret and Lydia glanced at each other, and the joy of being valued in their hearts almost couldn't be controlled and wanted to show on their faces.

The parents who watched the premiere in front of the TV felt a lot better about William. After sweeping away the unhappiness of "Blood Red Splashing White Gauze" a few years ago, well, in fact, many parents have actually been upset so far. Didn't notice that William's name was listed as the producer of the classic psychological horror film Blood Red.

Although the United States is open and will not prohibit minors from dating, parents will still be more or less concerned about it. They are afraid that their children will suffer and be fooled. William's firm attitude of never dating minors naturally caters to them. parents' taste.

"Mr. Theros, where is Director Miguel Beckett? Why didn't he attend the premiere with you this time?"

For minors, even if they are entertainment reporters who have no lower limit, they will still protect them to some extent.Anyway, these two girls themselves are not the focus of everyone's attention this time.

Recently, the media has been speculating about the director of "Star Wars". Lucas was unable to direct the film because of the previous Star Wars and the directors' union. His good friend Spielberg was also hindered by the directors' union. But failed to take over the director's shooting job.Later Lucas found David again.Lynch and David, both of Jewish origin.Cronenberg, for one reason or another, never made it.

Now the Welsh director of Star Wars Richard.Marquand is a pure newcomer that Lucas found from abroad who does not understand the direction of Hollywood.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Good is good, but there are also bad places.

It is said that because of director Richard's lack of directing experience, he has a tense relationship with the actors who have become big names in the crew, and the crew also complained about the director.

Therefore, Lucas, who originally had the idea of ​​directing, even though he was a producer in name, also did the job of director.The outside world has been rumoring the relationship between Richard and Lucas, so this matter has become very bad.The Directors Guild of America also fanned the flames at this time, expressing their dissatisfaction with Lucas becoming the actual director of the film. It is said that many union directors have been "banned" from attending Star Wars.

Today, Miguel, one of the up-and-coming directors who is in the limelight, did not attend the premiere of Star Wars.

I just don’t know if Miguel is drawing a line with Lucas in order to please the director union, or there is some unknown conflict between Miguel and Big Mouth Lucas.

In fact, it was rumored that even William would not attend the premiere.

Because compared to his friendship with Lucas, William is obviously closer to MiG, the queen director.As a result, William came. Not only did he come, but he also brought two beauties in a high-profile manner (William felt that he was wronged, but he wanted to keep a low profile).

But MiG didn't come.

All kinds of wild guesses flashed across the brains of the media reporters like a barrage, giving them a collective climax.Countless microphones flocked to William, wanting him to reveal some truth.Will the "friendship" between William and MiG come to an end, and they are ready to choose another way?Or is MiG becoming famous and arrogant, ready to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

William knew what the media wanted to ask, but...why did he have to answer it?

In Sabatino's words, I have worked so hard to climb to such a high position, isn't it just to have the freedom to do what I don't want to do?

The reporter is not afraid of William's explanation, what is afraid of is that William will not explain.Because no matter what William says, they can "distort" it, but if William doesn't say a word, well, they can still report it in a misleading way, but there is not much room for editing, After all, there is no root and no basis, and they don't even have room to take it out of context.

At most, it can be said that William kept silent about this matter and kept a secret.Often mixed in the entertainment industry, it is very important for BALABALA to master the means of when to be quiet as a chicken.

William insisted on the three-no policy of no answer, no explanation, and no evaluation to the end, until he entered the cinema with his two female companions, but he still didn't disclose any news.

However, after entering the theater, William explained to Lucas in private, for MiG: "It's not that he doesn't want to come, but he has been having a fever, and I asked someone to force him to rest at home, which is why I The reason why my special assistant Wendy (congratulations to Wendy for being promoted to another level~) and bodyguard Shirley didn’t come, they wanted to look after him for me. This is my responsibility, because I infected him with the flu.”

It is probably because William has been sick once a year and has already gained experience. The flu that came late this year was not serious, and he soon became alive and well.On the contrary, Miguel, who seldom gets sick, has never recovered. He would suddenly have a fever without warning. It has been on and off for almost a month. He has taken medicine and seen doctors, but he still does not recover. It is very worrying.

The most frightening thing is that Miguel is still unwilling to be safe, and wants to sneak to the set of "Back to the Future 2" and prepare to attend the premiere of Star Wars.After Wendy found out, she quickly sent a small report to William.Then William directly detained him at home, and when he was ready, he would be released again.

Lucas has also heard a little bit about William's physique that gets sick once a year. When he cooperated with ET last year, he went to visit William specially. He was very frightened by his menacing flu. of.

"Of course I don't believe the press, my friend. I'll go with you to see him after the premiere."

"Aren't you busy?" This is the premiere of Star Wars, the film is just about to be released, it should be when the producers are going crazy.

Lucas shook his head: "I have a habit of not looking at the box office data of the film's release period. I had already planned to turn off my phone, empty my mind, and go for a long hike in the original porridge wetland park. Before we start, I think I still have time to see the MiGs, what, you are not welcome?"

"Of course not, please come back to New York with me on my cousin's private jet, you don't know how much Miguel loves your and Steven (Spielberg) movies."

"Evil rich people." No matter how rich Lucas is now, he still can't own his own private jet, and he has invested his money in running film companies and special effects companies.

William's face thickened day by day, and he shrugged and replied, "It's my cousin's plane, not mine. I don't mind telling you how evil he is."

Lucas looked at William speechlessly: "You have time to chat, but I don't have time to accompany you."

Lucas is the protagonist of today's premiere, and there are too many people to meet. To be able to chat with William for a while, he already attaches great importance to William's performance.

When Lucas went to entertain Paramount executives, William sat between Margaret and Lydia, whom they had strongly requested (“That’s only fair! One half, no one loses!”) , introduced to the two little girls those big figures in the theater who don't appear in front of the camera, but are much more important than the people in front of the camera.

"Where is Mr. Lucas's wife?" Margaret asked curiously, but Lucas's family was not seen at the premiere.

Lucas married his editor Monica in 1969 and adopted a lovely daughter named Amanda together. William gave the little girl a goose yellow dress at Christmas.

"When I heard the news, they were arguing for divorce, and they should have divorced now. So, remember not to mention his wife in front of George." This divorce is said to be not very happy.Any divorce can't be too happy. William thinks that in the magical place of the people on earth, divorce accounts for a large proportion, and they even have the concept of divorce.He's saying, why get married if there's no guarantee you'll be together forever?

Margaret and Lydia understood, and nodded in a very sensible way. They are the type that makes people feel at ease, and the circle they live in is also doomed that they have long been accustomed to divorce and marriage. Not particularly curious.

"Look, Steven. Spielberg." Little Wheeler and Glass also have their own male gods, and besides Lucas, it is Spielberg.

Lydia and Margaret turned around when they heard the sound, but saw the annoying person, Irving.Kershner.

Irwin is also a director and is still teaching at USC. He was Lucas's professor when he was in USC, and now works as an assistant director for Lucas in Star Wars.

The reason why the two girls hate him is that he is also the director of Warner's copycat version of 007 "Cruising Missile".

There is nothing to say about the positions of the two girls, just like Wendy, Wendy even her male god Sean.Connery (the other party took over the male lead of the copycat version of 007) hated it, and they naturally didn't like the entire crew of "Cruise Missile".Moreover, it is said that the news of the feud between Lucas and director Richard was also revealed by Irving to the media. Even his former students and current bosses can betray him, which is really despicable!

William was a little helpless about this: "The director and actors were paid by the company, not they took the initiative to shoot. And Warner does have the copyright of Thunderball. This is just a very common commercial competition, and it has nothing to do with being mean or not."

The two girls glanced helplessly at William together, the meaning was obvious, male god, you are so easy to deceive, what would you do without us watching?

"..." Who is the adult and who is more understanding of the world?

The author has something to say: * Star Wars' director change incident, and Lucas' divorce in 83 are all true.However, the director's union issued an order not to allow the director to participate in the scandal of the premiere, this is the stupid author's own imagination.

Chapter 116 The 110th Sixth Day on Earth: God gave William the golden finger named Sabatino. 【Hello

The first-day box office of "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was 800 million. Such data can be found on Wednesdays on weekdays. One can imagine how many loyal fans the Star Wars series has.This gave a very good start to this year's summer vacation, and also put great pressure on "007: Octopus Girl", which will be released in two and a half weeks.

The outside world dubbed it "Lucas' revenge on William".Based on the fact that "007: Top Secret" snatched the title of annual box office champion from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" last year, this time Lucas must have come prepared and wanted to surpass William's film as the annual champion.

The publicity in the newspapers in the early stage was as expected. Although the propagandists of the two films did not blackmail or splash dirty water on each other, the tense competitive atmosphere between them can still be felt.This is like a battle. Both sides have already prepared their horses and soldiers, and after the assembly is complete, they are waiting to fire the guns.

then……

But what came out of the rifle was flowers.

What the fuck? !Many people have an unbelievable face of "I've taken off my pants, just show me this".

Cough, William and Lucas, good friends who were supposed to love and kill each other, instead gave each other a lot of face. With smiles on their faces, they attended the premiere of each other's movies, and even sent gifts to the media. A sincere blessing that you can't tell lies with your eyes open.

——Pay money to each other, and book [-] movies of each other.

This is a blessing of real money. Although it is vulgar to talk about money, sometimes it is vulgar to express good feelings so that outsiders can understand that their friendship and will are very firm and will not be easily provoked.

At the premiere of 007 in the United States, Lucas even bluntly said to the media: "Revenge should also be revenge with the new series of Indiana Jones movies. Star Wars and 007 have nothing to do with each other. And, yes, this is Inserting advertisement abruptly, Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 will be released next year—that is, in the summer of 84. Please support me and Steven, and hope that Will can be killed in the coming year. No good looks, At least we two uncles can still have box office comfort."

Humorous, without offending William or Lucas himself.

William said: "007 is not my movie, I'm just the production representative of the film company MGM United Artists, you say that, it is very disrespectful to Kirby (Albert. Brock Lee's nickname). So, please Please, let me have a place in the next 007 movie, I don’t want to offend my future boss before the filming starts.”

William has said that he is not interested in 007, even if 007 is a hen that can lay golden eggs, it cannot compare with William's dream pursuit of creating a high-grossing series.

Albert's compliments and statements to William were very useful. This was the only good news that could make him happy after the pornographic photos of his stepson recently.

And Albert is also the best person among all. In an interview, he said bluntly: "This year will be a year of fierce competition in the film market. How dare I boldly assert that the champion will definitely appear in 007 and Star Wars." Between? I read an ancient Chinese saying that if the sky wants to kill it, it must first make it crazy. Isn’t this very reasonable? I think my jokes this year have been seen enough by everyone. Don’t you need new materials?”

Self-deprecating has always been the magic weapon in American humor, and he was able to insert the stepson's pornographic incident cleverly, and Albert didn't know how many brain cells died.

Many reporters were dumbfounded, this is different from what they said before!

Before Star Wars and 007 were released, didn't they keep promoting that these two movies have a cruel competition between me and you?Why is it so harmonious now, hello, me, everyone?Brain pumped collectively?

Only the gossipgirl website with a big mouth dares to reveal the truth - bundling sales and hyping each other, isn't it silly?

Yes, this is indeed the publicity plan discussed by William and Lucas early on. The goal of the two crews is "It is impossible for anyone who mentions Star Wars not to know 007; Watch Star Wars."Who said that two blockbuster films are the only choice to be strangled to death?What a win-win for mutual benefit.

Even the "reveal" of gossipgirl this time was part of the public relations plan.After all, what they want is healthy competition, not that the fans of the two parties are in the same boat.

The original proposer of this plan was not Lucas, nor William, but Sabatino, who had the advantage of rebirth and always had an endless stream of propaganda methods.

The ideal follow-up state of Sabatino's plan is to tie William, Miguel, Spielberg, and Lucas together from movies to three-dimensional characters, so that the "good friends love each other" can be continued forever. kill" theme to promote any movie they need to promote.Directly stated generously, yes, we are promoting each other to show our faces.Dissatisfied?You bite me [Hello.

The reactions of netizens on the Internet also indirectly proved the wisdom of this public relations decision. Many people left messages on the Skype forum, saying that if you are cute, don't want it.

Sometimes this is true. Instead of trying to insert an advertisement that does not make people feel that it is an advertisement, it is better to say that this is an advertisement.

This kind of competitive bundling is beneficial to everyone. It raises each other's social status and expands the fan base. Not to mention, it won't make people feel disgusted that they are forming a group, forming a small group to exclude others, and everyone will only laugh. Joking about the love and hatred between their good friends.Just like the frustrated trio formed by William, Spielberg and Lucas at the previous Oscars, their attention is much higher than the Oscar-winning movie that year.

"One of the simplest proofs, who remembers the winner of last year's Oscar?" Sabatino gave an example at the meeting.

Among the people present at the meeting, only William raised his slender hand high.

"..." It was quite sour for my cousin to be slapped in the face by his cousin, but he still sighed and satisfied the childish William, "Okay, you go first."

"Best Picture is "Chariots of Fire" and best director is Warren, director of "Red Fire". Beatty, Best Actor is Henry in "Golden Pond." Fonda, Best Actress is Catherine .Hepburn...do I need to continue? I can name all the winners."

Sabatino clapped his hands: "OK, besides Will, who has a camera-like abnormal memory, who else has an impression of last year's Oscar?"

Even Lucas was a little embarrassed, he almost forgot who the best movie was last year, because he didn't even see that movie, it was too literary, too niche, too...sorry, he had to say, so boring up.

"But everyone remembers the frustrated trio at the Oscar party, the three of you."

That's Sabatino's point.

The reason why the publicity plan decided to bring MiG along was because William didn't want to be too famous and needed someone to share his attention.Of course, it is also because William wants to push MiG to a shortcut to success, and is associated with Spielberg and Lucas. It will definitely help MiG's career, but at least there will be no what a bad.

Later, MiG surpassed Spielberg to win the Oscar for Best Director, which made many people take it for granted. After all, he is a director as famous as Spielberg, isn't he?

Spielberg and Lucas are also very optimistic about MiG and don't mind letting MiG get this light.On the one hand, it can sell William and Sabatino face, on the other hand, it is an investment, just like Spielberg was very optimistic about Robert and Bob, the screenwriters of "Back to the Future", and he is looking forward to their future s return.

Of course, the success of the plan also depends on the relatively good public image of the four of them. It will only give people a group of positive people, and it will not remind people of the not-so-good flocking of birds of a feather.

The power of mutual hype is enormous, as evidenced by the number of successful pop groups.

This summer, Star Wars and 007 both got good box office. On June 6th, Sunday, Octopus premiered in London, England. Although it did not break the top secret record of the previous year, it was already very high in the previous dozen 6 films. Let the investors laugh.

The royal guest at the 007 London premiere is everyone's old friend - David "Prince". He has now firmly secured the top spot of the British Film Association, and he has taken off the word "honor". , the momentum to become the real chairman.

"It's all thanks to you, senior." David sincerely thanked William, thinking that he was his lucky star.

William only paid attention: "Have you invited my cousin James?"

David shook his head: "He refused as soon as he heard your name. I really don't understand, student, why do you still care about him when he treats you so ruthlessly? You shouldn't be so kind anymore, even if you There is a blood relationship, not all family members will be like your cousin Mr Sabatino."

William nodded reassuringly, and said to David, "You don't understand."

My cousin is my mascot.

David "Prince" could only sigh helplessly. By the way, he wondered why the senior seniors would not let them get close to Senior William when he was in Eton College. By mistake, he was bullied.

"My aunt and I personally promise that she will not recognize Warner's movies." David decided to change the subject.

Who is David's aunt?He has only one aunt named Elizabeth, Queen of England.The 007 series of movies that are not recognized by the British royal family dare to say that they are 007 movies?

"Do you need me to help you get the word out?" David asked William positively.

William shook his head: "No, I don't need it for the time being. We'll talk about it later when the box office slaps us in the face. Warner isn't afraid of confronting us at all. What we're afraid of is that we ignore it and don't play with it."

Just like 007 and Star Wars are tied together, Warner's copycat 007 also wished to catch up with the genuine 007 from MGM United Artists to use the other party's fame to hype themselves.It's a pity that William just didn't answer the phone, and he didn't talk to each other. No matter what the media asked, he would treat it as if that side didn't exist.

All the newspapers, magazines, and website media under Microsoft also seem to be selectively blind. They don't mention another movie in a word, which basically makes the other movie feel non-existent.

"The more jumping, the more it means that the other party wants to get attention. Why should I pay attention to it?"

The more William ignored him, the more anxious he would be.It's like a long-established master who is provoked by a fledgling rookie. Unless the master is crazy, he will end up fighting, because there is no benefit to winning, and losing will only make people laugh.On the other hand, for novices, whether they win or lose, their fame comes.William would never let that happen.

"I admire." David cupped his hands, completely convinced.Although the personality of the senior is a bit softer, but luckily IQ is enough.God is still fair.

"Amazing, isn't it? My cousin Saba taught me." The relationship between William and Sabatino has not been known to too many people, so William can only show off in a low-key manner through various methods. Sabatino's good.

David nodded, got it, the golden finger that God gave to the senior is obviously his cool cousin!

The author has something to say: *Star Wars' first-day box office floats upwards.In three dimensions, the real box office on the first day was 600 million.The stupid author expresses it here because of William's intervention and propaganda, so...
