Chapter 1,338 Fresh and Retro(2/2)
This time, the first screening of "Heartbeat" specially screened by the media and film critics was held at the Green Cinema in Los Angeles.
This theater has a long history and is an old theater. However, the equipment is not bad, but of course it is much worse than those first-tier theaters.
The advantage is that this is an old cinema, full of emotions.
Li Yi's reputation is still good in Hollywood, not to mention that it is a movie invested by Dean Pictures. Naturally, there will be no shortage of media and film critics invited.
Don’t underestimate the cost of special screenings for media and film critics. The cost of inviting these people is also not low, because if you don’t pay them, why should they help you promote it?
Therefore, the more people you invite and the greater your reputation, the higher the cost of the same public relations.
Of course, the influence of film critics is certainly incomparable to that of the past.
However, many of the film critics and media people invited to the scene today are from social network self-media.
Only a small number of them are established media people and film critics.
Lonnie is a well-known self-media online film critic.
He is quite famous as a film critic on social platforms.
What's interesting is that Lonnie's main commentary video is the recommendation and interpretation of old movies.
Among them, he has also produced related interpretation videos for old and fresh movies such as "Little Children".
He himself is indeed a fan of this aspect.
Lonnie is actually no stranger to Li Yi. He has even produced commentary videos for several of Li Yi's movies.
These include "Life is Beautiful", "The Story of Hachiko", "The Truman Show", "The Sixth Sense", etc.
This time, he also received news about the movie "Heartbeat" very early, and he is quite interested in this kind of movie.
Maybe some people are just following what others say, but Lonnie really doesn't like the current Hollywood movies. According to him, those movies are too noisy.
"Hi, Stephen, are you here too?" After Lonnie entered the theater, he met an old friend.
Stephen Lee!
This is his counterpart.
Unlike Lonnie, Stephen Lee is a UP actor who specializes in romance films.
Of course, in some respects, the two of them can be said to have similar interests.
Because romance movies have long been out of date, most of the materials he can come up with are old movies from the past.
"Hi, Lonnie! Of course I'm coming to Lee's movie, and since it's a romance movie, it's even more impossible for me to be absent! Isn't it?" Stephen greeted Lonnie with a smile.
"The key is for Dean Films to be generous, right?" Lonnie said with a smile.
"Of course! You can watch movies you are interested in and get paid for it, why not?" Stephen shrugged.
"I just don't know if the work of this miracle director can really conquer us!" Lonnie said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it. After all, "The Truman Show" was really shocking back then. Hollywood lacks external pressure. Lee's appearance is definitely a good thing!" Stephen Lee said with a smile.
In fact, this is really their consensus. After all, the topic of Hollywood's lack of innovation is not new for a long time. Many people have analyzed the reasons. They believe that the biggest reason why Hollywood has become more and more conservative is not the issue of cost and risk.
