Movie Master

It was difficult for Philip to describe his excitement at the moment, and it was even difficult for him to find an accurate word to describe his current mood. He is a movie buff and will definitely go to the movie theater once or twice a week. He does not reject commercial movies, but objectively speaking, it is not easy for a commercial movie to please him. After all, the number of movies he enjoys is increasing, and the requirements are getting higher and higher, but... when When he saw the trailer of "The Day After Tomorrow", the hotness and turmoil in his heart was indescribable.

Just one and a half months ago, Philip and his wife Jenny went to Washington to participate in demonstrations, in order to stop the greenhouse effect and promote the protection of the earth. The massive parade attracted nearly 300 media outlets to the scene for interviews, and caused such a sensation that the White House had to hold a special press conference to respond.

After entering the presidential election year, the topic of the greenhouse effect has become one of the absolute hot spots.

However, with the passage of time, the heat of the topic has gradually settled down. Philip is not an employee of the Environmental Protection Association. He is a manager of a Wal-Mart supermarket in Indianapolis. He has his own life and his own job. He cannot spend all his time on demonstrations. Therefore, life gradually returned to the original track.

But just when Philip thought the topic of the greenhouse effect had come to an end, he saw the trailer in front of him. For him, this is not a movie trailer, but a warning prophecy that predicts the future, and it is a wake-up call for everyone in the world.

Philip suddenly remembered a certain issue of the "Washington Post" in January this year, which published a professional article on the dangers of the greenhouse effect. As mentioned in that article, under the trend of global warming, the ice age is likely to come again; the final hazard is likely to cause the age of dinosaurs to come again!

And on the screen in front of him just now, this prophecy has turned into reality in a true and terrifying way. The turbulent waves created deep in his heart made Philip completely stunned. The shock and fear in his heart could not be expressed at all. His only thought was: Maybe those predictions of the greenhouse effect are not alarmist, and maybe the destruction of the earth has already made great strides. Big strides are approaching, maybe the end of the world is no longer as far away as the legend...

Turning his head to look at Guy who was stunned beside him, Philip's eyes shone with excitement, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I told you, the greenhouse effect is not a lie!" Guy looked at Philip dumbly, wanting to He retorted, but opened his mouth, only to find that no sound came out.

Compared with Jimmy, Sean's shock was more turbulent and more intense. He has seen countless visual effects movies, "Tornado", "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings" series... But today's feeling is unprecedented, Not only grandeur, not only spectacular, but also a strong reality, as if tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the scene previewed by the movie will actually happen.

Recalling the discussions about the greenhouse effect that have been raging in the media in recent months, Sean has never paid much attention to it, because he has always believed that this is a game of interest and a game of politics. But today, even though Xiao En wanted to continue to stick to his point of view, that tiny fear still sprouted quietly in his heart like a seed.

What if it is true? Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, what if? So will the scene that happened in the trailer just now happen in reality? So what is the overall picture of the story in the trailer? How should they respond? How should they survive? How terrible is the end of the world? When will the end of the world come?

"Sean! Sean!" Jimmy's voice came from far and near, and Sean finally came to his senses. Jimmy said with a shocked face, "Let's go and see together! Let's go and see together! God, I'm so curious, what would it be like if the end of the world came? Don't you wonder? Let's go and see! Together!"

Sean just nodded stiffly, the turmoil in his mind couldn't be dispelled at all, he just stood there in shock and astonishment.

Not just Philip and Guy, not just Sean and Jimmy, not just the silent Ryland Stadium, but also the 120 million American viewers sitting in front of the TV at this time.

Generally speaking, there will be some fluctuations in the ratings of the Super Bowl halftime show. Those who are not interested in the performance will choose to go to the bathroom to solve their physical needs, but those who are not interested in sports but are very keen on the performance will also turn to the channel. Come and watch.

But today's situation is very special. The scolding of "stop" made most people stop, and at the same time attracted people who specially watched the halftime show. Twenty-five million American viewers watched the "The Day After Tomorrow" trailer.

An accurate and wonderful trailer, under the control of Lance, accurately grasped people's conditioned reflex psychology, and brought the coverage of the trailer to the extreme. Then a seed is planted deep in people's hearts, waiting for the five months of brewing and fermentation to grow, and finally grow into a big tree in the sky.

Whether it is people like Philip who are already keen on environmental protection and even participated in the parade, or people like Sean who are not interested in the greenhouse effect but pay attention to current affairs news, after watching the trailer of "The Day After Tomorrow" Afterwards, the first reaction was to think of the discussions in the past half a year—they were not alarmist talk, but the real possible results, and there was even a movie that captured the doomsday event, which was based on guesswork. The blurred lines towards reality are frightening.

For a while, the heat of the discussion broke the table!

During the Super Bowl halftime show, there was a very interesting statistic. More than 20,000 calls were received by 937 radio stations across the United States, asking whether the TV screen of the Super Bowl halftime show just now is actually happening now. Yes, it will happen the day after tomorrow, and the panic can hardly be suppressed; in addition, nearly 15,000 calls have been received, specifically asking what movie the trailer is - because "the day after tomorrow" is more in the trailer. More like a prophecy than a movie title; all told, more than 60,000 calls were made to mention the trailer for the halftime show.

Some people cursed and blamed the trailer for confusing the audience; some people were terrified and worried that the day after tomorrow would be the end of the world; Looking forward to the release of the movie...

Although the Super Bowl has always been the focus of attention in the United States, the chain effect caused by the movie trailer of "The Day After Tomorrow" is far beyond imagination, even if it is described as incredible, it is slightly pale.

Standing beside Lance, Lang had a weird expression on his face, hesitated again and again, and finally asked seriously, "So, those discussions about the greenhouse effect are real?" The greenhouse effect in recent months The frenzy of effects is really too turbulent, and almost no one can ignore it, even if they don't have any interest, they have more or less heard about it on TV and newspapers.

Lance showed a shallow smile, "I'm not a natural scientist, I'm just a filmmaker. Of course, if you're interested, you can go to the cinema and watch this movie, maybe you can find some answers." This official statement seemed cunning and witty, and Lang was taken aback, then nodded with a chuckle.

Gawain patted Lance's arm, leaned into Lance's ear and whispered, "Is that true?"

Lance turned his head and saw Gawain's serious expression, the corner of his mouth smiled involuntarily, he patted Gawain's left hand, "Relax, whether it's true or not, Theo will never let you leave my side Yes." After finishing speaking, Lance ignored Gawain's gloomy expression and stood up - because the performance in front of him had an accident.

At this moment, Janet-Jackson, who was dancing passionately on the stage, covered her chest in panic, while Justin-Timberlake, who was standing beside him, lowered his head handsomely, showing his handsome face. profile. The covering clothes on Jenny's right chest had drooped down, directly revealing the contents wrapped in the leather jacket, without any cover, which caused an uproar in the audience, and then Jenny raised her hands in panic, blocking her own chest/butt, but it was too late, and this scene was passed directly through the live broadcast screen without any hindrance.

Lance clenched the fist of his left hand involuntarily, and his thumb slowly rubbed the side of the middle finger, but even though he tried his best to control his emotions, the thumb of his left hand trembled slightly.

How could he have forgotten this! How could he forget this!

On February 1, 2004, at the XXXVIII Super Bowl, an unexpected event that caused a sensation all over the world occurred: Janet Jackson's "exposed/chest/door"-at the end of the halftime show, Justin raised his hand and tore Get off Jenny's boobs and show off directly in front of over a billion people around the world.

This incident shocked the world and had a far-reaching impact. It directly caused Jenny's singing career to decline, and it began to decline since then; but the culprit in the incident, Justin, was not punished accordingly, and his career became more and more prosperous. Another sex/gender/discrimination controversy - when something like this happens, it's always the woman who gets the blame.

The worst thing is that this incident directly triggered a five-second delay of live TV programs across the United States-this is unprecedented in the history of American TV. They have always condemned China's delay strategy as an insult to freedom of speech, but Now the United States has to do the same. This policy even extends to the Academy Awards ceremony.

But the most important thing for Lance is this - this event will be a global sensation, and his well-planned debut ceremony of the "The Day After Tomorrow" trailer will take away all eyes!

Damn, fatal mistake!
