Hollywood superstar XX history [travel]

The four major theater lines in North America are Emperor, AMC, Carmike and Ark. Among the more than 4000 theaters in the United States, the four theater lines control half of the theaters.People often compare the four major theaters together, because based on various considerations, the four major theaters occasionally make a joint boycott of a certain movie.The scary thing about this kind of move is that once a certain movie is boycotted, in addition to the fact that the theaters under the four major theater chains will not show the movie, many small theater chains will follow suit and reject the movie because of concerns about the box office. The release of the film led to a fiasco at the box office.Therefore, every film distribution company in the United States must establish a good relationship with the four major theaters.

"Brokeback Mountain" was released by Paramount, one of the six major theaters, and there was no reason for the film to be boycotted due to the bad relationship with the four major theaters. "Brokeback Mountain" was rejected, in the final analysis, it was a matter of subject matter.

The absurd thing is that the worry on the theater side is not that "Brokeback Mountain" is not filmed well, but that it is filmed too well!Almost everyone who has watched the movie, whether they are film critics or directors of theaters, have all given positive comments, and even think that the movie will be a big hit in the upcoming awards season!

but--

"The image is too positive! These two cowboy boys are so handsome that they will become iconic figures of homosexuality! There is suspicion of promoting a sexual orientation that is different from the mainstream..."

"Conservatives and religious groups will go crazy over this movie!"

"I personally don't discriminate against homosexuals, but please keep them away from me..."

——These feedbacks full of conflicts and struggles from the theaters finally determined their attitude towards "Brokeback Mountain".To avoid trouble, most theaters shook their heads at the highly controversial film.

"Of course, the producers spent more than 1000 million on "Brokeback Mountain", and they will never give up on it." The old god Lance was saying.The release of films with sensitive subjects will not always be smooth sailing.Vogt is new at this, and this is his first film, so there's nothing to worry about.

"It would be a shame if it didn't come out." Vogt handed Lance a glass of skim milk.

Lance frowned slightly to show his disapproval of milk, but he still respected Vogt's good and healthy eating habits. After reaching out for the cup, he took a sip and immediately put it aside.

Vogt felt that his expression was exactly the same as that of his grandfather Michael Clark, and he was indeed a blood-related grandparent.

"We're not going to let that happen," Lance assured Vogt.Especially after seeing the finished film, even Lance, who has reservations about homosexuality, has to admit that Vogt did make a good movie.This kind of film destined to become a classic should not be buried.

Vogt threw himself on the sofa: "This feeling of being pinched in the palm of your hand is really annoying!" Whether his film can be released depends on whether other people are willing to "raise their hands".Damn it!

Lance looked at the well-to-do dude and joked, "If you have enough money to buy Hollywood—of course, the U.S. government won't allow you to do that—take a step back and buy one of the Big Six or One of the Big Four, or you'll feel much better. The question is, do you have the money?"

Vogt deflated at the mention of funding.But Lance's words opened a door for him.He likes acting, and he likes fans' admiration for him. After seeing his films made into films and shown on the big screen, he has a new favorite.

He doesn't have much interest in acquiring a film company for production and distribution—that would be so troublesome and brain-intensive!Now he takes on a film a year, and he can return to Broadway to enjoy the drama addiction in his spare time. He is satisfied with this busyness and doesn't want to ask for more trouble for more profits.But buying a theatrical circuit, no, or buying a movie theater and playing the movies I made, Jack made -- how cool would it be?

Of course, this idea is still a fantasy for now.When Vogt can pay Lance the salary of the corresponding level, he will dare to talk about his "whimsical" in front of him.Now he can only be ridiculed by Lance.

However, Lance's calm attitude calmed Vogt's anxiety.His agent has repeatedly proved that he is reliable.For example, he insisted that Vogt move to Hamby Hills instead of allowing Vogt to live in the house Fred had chosen for him, although this decision was less important because of the generosity of Vogt's maternal grandparents, But now that Vogt can live a peaceful life free from harassment by reporters, it is enough to show how prescient Lance was at the time.Jack, who couldn't move in with Vogt in an aboveboard manner, is now suffering—he has four movies in theaters this year, and he can't escape the bombardment of all-pervasive reporters.

Jack has said that if his endurance reaches the limit, he will definitely escape to Vogt!

"I can't control that much!" the gentle and reserved Jack yelled madly!

On the surface, Vogt comforted Jack, and together with him scolded the reporters who were afraid of chaos, but secretly cheered them up:!Paparazzi!Hard work on Jack!My "sexual happiness" depends on you!

The premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" was finally set on December 12, and the premiere was held in Los Angeles. A total of 9 theaters across the United States showed the film.

Since the film won the Golden Lion Award, it has been a constant topic of conversation. Controversial themes, unceasing praise from the preview, a large-scale Chinese director, and four handsome men and beautiful women starring in the film have attracted people's attention one after another.Although many people expressed some discomfort with the subject matter, their curiosity still drove them into the cinema.

The main creators and leading actors of the film are all in place.

Vogt and Jack arrived at the scene together, and soon saw the bright smiling Anne Hathaway and the sweet and gentle Michelle Williams.

"You're really good!" After embracing each other, Anne happily patted Vogt and winked at him wickedly.

Vogt had a ghost in his heart, so he suddenly looked at Jack subconsciously.

Jack happened to be watching him too, blue eyes full of confusion.

In order to prevent their feelings from being exposed, they wrote a script to play a pair of good friends with "deep feelings but not crossing the line" according to the script.And just to be cautious, before they go out, they let the people around them who know about their relationship carefully confirm that they have not shown any clues before they set off. Didn't expect that Annie, who is the biggest and most nervous, will see it? !

"What's wrong?" Vogt played dumb.

Annie blinked her eyes: ""The Departed"! Leonardo! I read the report, do you know that you are famous now?"

Vogt & Jack: "Ah~" They knew Anne wouldn't be so perceptive!

"What's wrong with you two? You're weird..." Annie looked at them suspiciously.

"It's all right," Vogt and Jack said in unison.

Annie frowned and looked at Michelle for help.Michelle gave Vogt and Jack a meaningful look, and raised Anne's arm: "Don't pay attention to them, come on, let's go say hello to the director."

"Okay!" Annie glared at Vogt and Jack, and said fiercely, "You better keep it from me, huh!"

Vogt and Jack were stunned by Michelle's look, and smiled helplessly at Anne's warning.

Fortunately, this occasion does not allow Anne to get to the bottom of it. They are all busy entertaining all kinds of guests who arrived at the premiere, including some executives from the producer and distributor, film critics, celebrity friends, fans, etc.

When they finally sat down and the lights dimmed, they breathed a sigh of relief and could concentrate on enjoying the film quietly.

No matter how many times you watch it, "Brokeback Mountain" can touch people's hearts.Halfway through the movie, weeping began to be heard intermittently around.As the plot progressed, Anne, who was sitting next to Vogt, was out of breath from crying, and she had to cover her mouth with a tissue to avoid being too gaffe.Michelle didn't cry as boldly as she did, and wept quietly while watching.

Their movement did not attract attention, because the entire auditorium had a similar atmosphere.Both men and women are deeply drawn into the relationship between Ennis and Jack, and their emotions fluctuate accordingly.

Vogt and Jack's eyes were moist too.

When the choked sound of the last sentence "jack, iswear" sounded, the suppressed crying in the auditorium became hoarse as if suddenly released.Annie hugged Michelle with a "wow" and cried bitterly!

The scene suddenly got a little out of control!

There was no cheering, no applause, everyone seemed to be immersed in the aftertaste of the movie, sitting in a blank position, unable to calm down for a long time.When the lights came up, most people were wiping their faces with tissues, and some susceptible men and women were still crying.

Vogt and Jack stood up, looking at the scene at a loss, and they were determined to look at Ang Lee and James together.

At this time, the host of the premiere ceremony began to remind the film that the film was over, and asked the crew to speak on stage.

The audience who came back to God gave warm applause!

"So heartbreaking..."

"very exciting!"

"Incomparable!"

"..."

Hearing these unconcealably excited comments, both Vogt and Jack breathed a sigh of relief. Under Ang Lee's admiring and encouraging eyes, they smiled and devoted themselves to the next interaction.
