Chapter 154: The Bourne Bourne screening

"Busy Daniel, after flying to France for the Cannes International Film Festival, returned to Los Angeles to continue the Bourne Bourne campaign, calling Byrne the 'cool guy' in his mind." The Dallas Morning News reported Daniel at the end of May "This young, hard-working star must have become a super diamond user of American Airlines, flying not only across the United States, but also in Europe and Asia from time to time. Of course, he was well received at Cannes The unprecedented popularity and attention of the world also shows that Daniel Sandler, who has swept the world with "The Fellowship of the Ring", has truly become a global superstar. Can The Pianist, which performed quite steadily at Cannes, make him win a Cannes Best Actor? Maybe not, but there is still some hope."

"Cannes Best Actor? My God, are you fighting Jack Nicholson?"

"About Schmidt", as the biggest hit of the Cannes actor, seems to have almost no rivals at present. However, the urination of Cannes has never been something that Hollywood can figure out. It would not be surprising if Jack failed. But this is not good news for Daniel. If Jack loses the honor of actor because of his Hollywood blood, then he, the most proud representative of Hollywood, is even more hopeless.

Maybe it will be the Belgian or Austrian fishermen who profit, anyway, Hollywood seems, looks, looks, and doesn't care about Cannes.

When Andy showed Daniel the briefing, Daniel's reaction was as expected. He didn't stay in Cannes at all. He only watched the opening film of Woody Allen, and then flew away from Cannes, leaving only Polanski. A person is there to cope. This is also something that can't be helped. Intensive "Bourne Bourne" screenings have started all over the United States. The media, audiences, theaters, and producers, all kinds of previews need to be present. No one can help him this time. Although Franka Bertante is the heroine, she is really not well-known. No matter how much Doug Liman values ​​this German actress, she can't let her provoke the heavy responsibility of publicity.

Therefore, the evaluation of an audience preview yesterday was 8 percentage points lower than the A+ rating of the preview that Daniel attended.

This is the reality, and the feeling of rushing to respect will also become an important basis for the audience to score. If you can see that the director, starring, producer, etc. are all present, waiting for yourself to score this movie, most people will feel good. That's why the audience watching the movie rustled for a while when they found out that Daniel was no longer there, only Franka.

"You have to come back, Daniel, you are needed here." Frank Marshall and Tony Gilroy both called him, even though he was only going to be at the opening ceremony and declined all other movie parties.

At the beginning of the competition between Matt Damon and Daniel Sandler, Frank and Tony both supported Daniel, and now it seems that it is more correct. The movie has not yet been released, at least the publicity expenses have been saved a lot. Daniel is too "loved" by the media, and there is always news throughout the year.

The second preview held in New York is also aimed at audiences. Some of these audiences are members of IMDB, some are senior users of major theater chains in New York, and professionals such as "The Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety". The subscribers of movie publications are always those who pay attention to movies, have a certain appreciation ability, and have a relatively large influence among movie fans.

Daniel's appearance was greeted with enthusiastic applause. In the one the day before yesterday, Daniel did not attend. They thought that they might not see Daniel before the premiere, but they did not expect him to appear in this one.

"I'm sorry, I didn't meet the audience in that show before. In fact, I flew to France, and Leonardo and Cameron were there too. They looked very close." Daniel paused, waiting for a bang The laughter stopped and hoped to stop, this kind of joke in the publicity period was nothing. But the cautious Daniel was actually just responding to them.

Woody Allen, the director of "Gangs of New York", was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is a "compatriot" with Daniel. He loves that land very much, and many creative inspirations also come from there. In previous interviews, he and starring Leonardo had joked about Daniel.

The reporter asked him, "Are gangsters running rampant in Brooklyn?"

Leonardo took over and said, "Are you talking about 'gangsters' like Daniel Sandler? Not to mention Brooklyn, I'm afraid there aren't too many in New York or even the United States."

Of course, this kind of teasing with hidden compliments will not lead to contradictions.

Daniel's proper response to Leonardo today is entirely part of building a friendship.

"Actually, maybe I got it wrong, because the time was so tight, I turned around in the middle of the red carpet and Tony urged my phone to come out of the speakers in Cannes."

The laughter became more intense, and Tony Gilroy also showed a wry smile, and quickly shook his head, indicating that he did so.

"So, maybe Leonardo was making out with Woody Allen?"

This time, even the main creators couldn't help laughing, and the laughter of the audience waiting for the movie almost knocked down the movie theater.

Daniel himself didn't laugh, he was serious, and seemed to be talking about very normal and ordinary things, which made some people laugh sporadically after being quiet.

"I think my honesty may attract revenge from the gangsters. After all, this is New York. Let's hurry up and watch a movie."

In the final high atmosphere, the lights of the theater slowly dimmed, and the Universal logo appeared on the screen.

……

"How is Collins? You seem to be in a good mood." Franka and Daniel sat side by side.

She is German, and she has a high probability of being mentioned in the German media because of her recent collaboration with Daniel in The Bourne Bourne.

"You know Collins?"

"Who doesn't know someone from the Porsche family? We met and talked briefly, and she looked polite, well-bred, and a good girl."

While Daniel is looking at the dark ocean background on the screen, a small fishing boat looks shaky in the storm, and a little light on the sea not far away shows a bit of unusualness in this background, and the story will continue from here. A slice of the ocean begins.

"Oh, are you going to show your hips?"

Franka suddenly changed the subject. She had seen the rough cut version, but not the latter.

"Minus it, Doug thinks that might obscure the rest of the propaganda."

She showed obvious disappointment, "That's really bad. But also, if you show your buttocks, I'm afraid all the newspapers tomorrow will be like this, who will remember the 'audience film reviews' they have worked so hard to prepare."

Two hours passed quickly.

When Jason reunites with Mary in the enchanting sea breeze of Greece, everyone realizes that the film is coming to an end.

"so fast."

Cobo is the owner of a private dental clinic in New York. He loves movies, especially spy and war movies. Of course, his expectations for the mutant spy war movie "The Bourne Bourne" are also quite high. This time he pulled his friend Dyson. Harry, an otaku engineer, gets a sneak peek.

The list of entertainers is still being broadcast on the screen, but the movie with Easter eggs is not said to be finished at this point.

"Indeed," Dyson stretched, feeling a little stiff in his back, "it's too fast, which shows that the rhythm of the movie is quite tight, and there are hardly any boring moments."

"It's great," Cobb has seen a lot of similar movies, and has considerable appreciation. "Doug Liman's skill in mastering the camera is amazing, every shot is clean and neat, even the long takes are full of people. Breathless charm. This is an amazing director."

"Jason is also great, I think."

Dyson also likes watching movies, but he is not on the same level as an enthusiast like Cobo. Usually, when he and Cobo watch movies, they will always receive some IQ inspiration. Some didn't understand it properly, and at this time Cobo explained it to him. Under normal circumstances, Cobo would never deprive him of the pleasure of watching movies. Think about how annoying it would be if your friend was constantly babbling around while watching a movie, showing off his eyesight, experience and guesswork, don't even think about it, next time you watch a movie, just kick him Kick it away, I would rather watch it alone, and there is no need to abuse myself like this.

Cobo was silent for a while, and words were still written on the screen.

For the role of Jason Bourne, he can first agree with Dyson, which is great! In fact, according to the understanding of ordinary people, Jason's neat kung fu, calm and high IQ response, facing the CIA, that is, the CIA's outrageousness, each of which is remarkable. If it's Daniel's young female fans, even just staring at him is charming enough, whether it's the crew's ill-fitting sweater, or later the tight black vest, and the long legs, including the ever-charming Every precise emotional expression of that face is worth the price of the ticket. However, Cobb was reluctant to give Daniel's performance so simply.

The lights in the cinema began to slowly come on.

The rustling of people interrupted Cobo's thinking.

"Daniel's performance, and the story." Cobb felt that he needed a little time to think about it. This is not the charm of movies, or similar movies, not the kind of "Legal Blonde". Only those who are sick can extract a few sentences of fast food of chicken soup for the soul. "The Bourne" is by no means that kind of work, and it's definitely worth watching twice, maybe even three times.

After the movie is shown, it is usually the interaction between the creator and the audience. Especially now, when there are more than 20 days before the movie is released, the distributor still has to rely on the final audience reaction to determine the ultimate strategy.

"Director Liman, I have a question. Byrne missed at the beginning because he saw the eyes of the child. An elite CIA agent with such a huge cost to train, and finally missed because of such a reason, do you think that Unreasonable?"

Doug Liman smiled, "I think it would be better for Daniel to answer this question."

Daniel waved his hand, he is now a popular figure and usually gets asked many times, so most of the time he pushes the question to others.

But Doug Liman was quite insistent.

"Okay, then I'll answer the question. Is that Mr. Smith?"

Smith, who nodded at him, smiled.

"I don't know what an agent looks like in your heart? Is it like 007, a beautiful car, an invincible image, or something else. But Jason is not like that—"

When Cobo heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. He finally knew why he felt wrong.

Jason is an agent, but not an agent.

Daniel's ruthlessness and firmness in fighting, gunsmanship, plot reasoning, even driving, and even fighting, coupled with the excellent personal appearance of the movie agent, made him have no doubt that this is an excellent product of the CIA. Sophisticated, ruthless, powerful, and ruthless killing machine. But not all, from the beginning, lost because of a child's gaze, most of the time obsessively asking who I am, my past, what I want and what I got, what an ego person this is, this The self is not external, but internal. It definitely doesn't require the use of a "Bond Girl" vase to assist the symbolic agent.

Speaking of which, this is a milestone for the special agent movie to move from imagination to reality.

Therefore, Cobo, who has watched a lot of movies, will feel unsatisfied.

On stage, Daniel briefly stated that this episode is not useless or wrong, but a setup.

"I hope everyone can understand what Jason wants to express, as well as our entire creative team and Doug's intentions. This is an important point, you can think about it more."

Of course, at the early audience preview meeting, the main creator couldn't say everything cleanly, so he seldom asked the question of Mr. Smith just now on such occasions.

Dyson adjusted his glasses and raised his hand to ask questions, but this time it was not his turn.

"What do you want to ask?" Cobo asked suspiciously.

"I want to ask him how he feels about Porsche."

"Um?"

Dyson is an otaku, very proficient with the Internet, and is very familiar with the romance scandal between Daniel and Collins, but Cobo doesn't know all of this. After Dyson explained it, he was impressed by his friend, an otaku with such an enthusiastic gossip attribute, it was really hard to imagine what he would do at home alone.

After a few questions, it was Dyson's turn.

"Daniel, hello. I'm Dyson. I've been following you for a long time. I've always wanted to build your muscles. Do you have any suggestions?"

Cobo's mouth opened slightly, which was different from what he just said.

Dyson was a few years younger than him, but he was also thirty-two.

Daniel and everyone were amused. The topic of fitness was asked many times, and the answer was of course very easy, "Hello Dyson, about fitness, I think the most important thing is to hypnotize yourself. Oh no, open A joke."

"Make a fitness plan, pay attention to your diet, and then stick to it. You must stick to it. You can take pictures every day to record your progress like me. I believe that under normal intensity, there will be obvious results in three months. I wish you good luck. You succeed."

"Okay, thank you, I have another question, sorry. Excuse me, do you like Porsche?"

"You mean the car?"

"You can also understand it as something else, such as a woman."

Now, I am happy if I know it, but if I don't understand it, I ask people everywhere.

Doug, Tony, Franka and Chris Cooper all looked at Daniel with interest on the stage. As an insider, I still know this news. Daniel's new girlfriend is a descendant of the German Porsche family. Collins' grandfather is the current head of the family, Wolfgang Borsch.

"Ah, yes, I think the results are the same, yes."

Daniel will go on vacation to Northern Ireland after the release of The Bourne, and he doesn't want to be surrounded by a large number of paparazzi at that time. He admits earlier that there will always be fewer pesky followers. And there will be other people in the Porsche family going with them. Although the impact will definitely be there, it needs to be minimized as much as possible.

"Wow."

This answer obviously surprised everyone.

"But BMW sponsored us, but Porsche didn't. We talk too much here about Porsche being killed by gangsters hired by sponsors. This is New York."

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo are going to be ruined by him.

The host named a middle-aged woman.

"Daniel—"

Sure enough, it was Daniel again, and this was his fourth consecutive question.

"Can I ask other people? Like me, let Daniel have a drink." Chris Cooper picked up the microphone in front of Doug and said.

But this lady persisted in shaking her head, her eyes were sharp, and she seemed very eager to fight.

"Daniel, my younger brother has just been sent to the Middle East, and the anti-war remarks made by celebrities recently are really outrageous. What do you think about what you're doing? Do you think celebrities should be involved in these things?"

The whole place was quiet.

The host looked at the colors of Daniel and Doug, and if he got a signal, he would immediately stop the question.

But Doug took a look at Daniel and found nothing special.

Daniel was a little surprised, but he kept his gentle expression. He seemed to think about it and straightened the microphone.

"Lady, first of all, I hope your brother can return home safely, God bless him. Then, I can't talk about many personal opinions here, so I just reply to your question simply, the difference between stars and ordinary people is influence, But influence, like a president, cannot take away a person's liberty. Celebrities can certainly do it, as can you and all American citizens. That's it, thank you for coming."

The post-screening meeting lasted only half an hour, so the rest of the time was basically forcibly allocated to the director and other actors.

The episode just now didn't affect everyone's good mood, because most people gave the movie a good review. This is consistent with the previous test screening results. Universal is now more confident in the box office. Shanying's routine pre-screening forecast is not a paid project, but an open one. They give numerical forecasts for films that attract audiences' attention. The North American forecast for "Bourne Bourne" is 120 million.

Compared with the blockbuster format of "007", "Bourne Bourne" is more small, so major evaluation agencies have no tendency to predict the box office explosion, but if 100 million is available, then only the North American box office can appear. Profit, if it is 120 million, Universal has run a very good project, and similar themes should be expected to perform better on DVD.

Undoubtedly, Daniel's confession of his romance with the only granddaughter of the Porsche family helm has grabbed the headlines during this short period of time.

Even his ex-girlfriend Jessica became popular for a while.

The problem she encountered was endless "Daniel" "Daniel" "Daniel"...

"We're not in touch, at the moment. I really don't have much to say about his new relationship."

The unbearable Jessica officially closed the question. Yes, there is no contact anymore. In other words, she is not even a friend. Of course, she has no obligation to respond to Daniel's new relationship.

And until the second half of May, the word-of-mouth of "Bourne Bourne" began to come out one after another.

Among them, the film review of Cobo Kerr reprinted by The New York Times has attracted a lot of attention~www.readwn.com~ This film review was first published on the homepage of Cobo Kerr's personal blogger, and was later quoted and reposted hundreds of times. It was then seen by the editorial staff of The New York Times and recommended to the editor-in-chief, so the audience film was able to be published in the newspaper along with the New York Times' own film critic's article.

"Farewell to 007 and Welcome to Jason Bourne"

Cobo spent a small space in his own film review giving a short summary description of the aspects that other film critics praised, and more than half of the space was spent on explaining the differences and innovations between "Bourne Bourne" and "007" series of films . Cobo's own taste is more inclined to Jason Bourne, so he also unabashedly praised Jason Bourne-like agent in his article, in his original words, "a flesh and blood but excellent skill, A special worker who retains ordinary human nature but possesses extraordinary temperament.”

The feedback received by the "New York Times" obviously shows that the "Bourne Bourne" described by Cobo has attracted a lot of people, and it is a good move that is different from the 007 label. Even Daniel wondered if this sharp-eyed Dr. Cobo Kerr was the childcare arranged by Universal. A follow-up report from The Times described 'The Bourne' as "an excellent film that is about to become the signature of the new spy movie coming out, and obviously this time won't be an exception on Daniel Sandler's list of good films. After "Gladiator," "Legal Blonde," and "The Fellowship of the Ring," will The Bourne Bourne break 100 million without a doubt? Everyone will wait and see."
