Chapter 317 The Story of a Cow(1/2)
Movie fans were stunned, and media reporters took photos frantically.
At the front of the red carpet, Martin, Leonardo and Nicholson led a docile old cow towards the theater.
Wearing sunglasses and smiling from ear to ear, Nicholson walked the red carpet and presented a cow to the director's old friend. It was the first time in his life, and he found it very funny.
Leonardo looked at Martin and thought to himself that only a bastard could do such an unusual move.
Martin walked at the front, leading the cow to the middle of the red carpet, waving to all around.
The movie fans around them let out ear-piercing screams.
The reporters who were able to follow and take pictures on both sides of the red carpet seemed to be going crazy and kept pressing the shutter of their cameras.
Leonardo said: "We are going to grab the headlines of the North American entertainment edition."
"Such an interesting thing should happen more often." Nicholson took two steps forward and grabbed the reins from Martin's hand: "You have been in the limelight enough, it's time for me to take your place!"
After handing the reins to Nicholson, Martin walked towards the place where the Coke Cult members gathered. He took a can of Coke from Bruce who was following him, opened it and raised it high towards them.
Hundreds of people nearby raised their Cokes and shouted in unison: "Coke Cult, Forever!"
Then, someone else shouted: "The leader is mighty!"
Hundreds of people followed and shouted: "The leader is mighty!"
At the entrance of the Ryerson Theater, Warner's Daniel said to producer Graham: "Did you see it? This is the leader of the Coca-Cola Cult."
Graham nodded slightly: "There are many supporters."
Daniel added: "As far as this film is concerned, we have done market research and estimated that Martin alone can increase the film's first-week box office by more than US$5 million."
Graham has read relevant reports: "In my personal opinion, among the male stars born in the 1980s, Martin's commercial appeal is the strongest, at least one of the strongest."
"Martin's value is not only reflected in his commercial appeal." Daniel reminded: "Don't forget, today's plan was first proposed by him."
When Graham saw the reporters who were looking like mad cows, he said: "The news breaking point has appeared."
Daniel smiled cheerfully.
Three bastards, leading a cow, swaggered through the market and approached the media area and the specially arranged platform in front of the theater.
Al Pacino rubbed his chin and said: "This is not like the way Leonardo and Nicholson do things."
Robert De Niro said: "It must be Martin." He looked at Scorsese: "Get ready, your guys are bringing you cows."
Scorsese straightened his tie and said, "Why not a cow?"
On the opposite side, Nicholson speeded up slightly and pulled the cow to the opposite side of Scorsese.
A large number of reporters gathered around.
Nicholson said loudly: "A few days ago, you said that you like to coach cows in performances. The three of us went to buy the most obedient cow overnight. Now, on behalf of the trio, I will officially give you a cow. You can
I filmed a scene with a cow."
"I accept it." Scorsese took the reins, hugged his old friend Nicholson, and then called to Martin and Leonardo: "Come here and take a photo together."
Martin and Leonardo went over, and the four of them stood in front of the sponsor's backdrop and took a group photo with Lao Niu.
Scorsese later accepted an interview and said: "This gift is very precious. I will bring it back to the United States, guide it in acting, and let these three idiots see what it means to be a good actor who listens to the director's instructions."

After saying that, he laughed himself.
The three Martins were also smiling cheerfully around them.
Matt Damon, who had already entered the theater, saw this scene clearly through the glass window. He saw it clearly. He had been excluded from the core of the crew since the filming in New York.
The so-called trio was also started by Martin Davis.
Matt Damon can't enter that circle, but he still has his own circle.
"Let's go." He said to the manager next to him: "Let's go into the theater and wait for the screening."
The manager followed up and said: "I just communicated with Graham. The crew has some objections to your absence from most of the publicity due to filming "The Bourne Supremacy", but it's not a big deal."
Matt Damon said: "I am not the core." He turned to ask: "The crew and Warner Bros. have confirmed that Martin Davis will be nominated for Best Supporting Actor?"
"Yes, it's confirmed." The manager said the news he had learned: "It is said that in order to ensure that he can get the nomination, Leonardo gave up competing for the Best Actor with the role in this film and chose another one.
role in the film "Blood Diamond."
Matt Damon nodded: "I know."
In the media area, reporters almost surrounded the three Martins.
Martin also accepted an interview appropriately, and the reporter specifically asked him about this collaboration with Scorsese.
"I have experienced life in the Boston Police Department on the ground, which helped me a lot." He said all the prepared scripts, without worrying about conflicts with other people's speeches: "I like this character very much. Before filming, Scorsese
Director Si told me that as long as you read the lines in the script, you can do the rest freely."
Ten minutes later, with the assistance of the crew's public relations personnel, the creative staff broke out of the heavy siege of media reporters and walked towards the entrance of the Ryerson Theater.
"Moo——"
The sound of cows came from behind.
Martin turned around, and the docile old cow was still standing in the crowd, particularly conspicuous.
It looked longingly at the person walking away and mooed, as if asking why it was abandoned.
Someone will come and take the cattle away, and then send them to the United States.
Scorsese has a ranch where it is easy to raise a cow.
The red carpet part of the premiere ended here. Many online media reporters immediately withdrew from the scene, found a temporary office nearby, used laptops and wireless network cards to access the Internet, and sent out news and photos from the premiere as quickly as possible.
As soon as the news hit the Internet, it attracted widespread attention.
In the theater hall, the crew and creative staff came to the front row amidst applause. The theater, which can accommodate thousands of people, was now full of seats.
Guests, reporters, critics, columnists and overseas buyers gathered together, filling the first ten rows, occupying nearly half of the seats.
Ordinary movie fans take up the other half.
Before he sat down, Scorsese looked behind him. His many years of directing career made it difficult for him to feel troubled again, but he still hoped that this film would have a good result.
Especially at the Oscars.
Scorsese has great ambitions by giving up biopics specifically for awards and returning to the gangster films he is best at.
Many people say they don’t care about the Oscar, but in this industry and environment, very few people really don’t care.
In Leonardo's words, after you become rich, beautiful and have a material foundation, you will definitely have other pursuits.
Martin sat between Nicholson and Leonardo, moved his hands and feet a little, took out his mobile phone and took a look.
There is an unread text message on the phone, and the sender is listed as Robert.
"The ceremony has been completed, so don't worry."
Martin turned off the sound and vibration of his phone and put it back in his pocket.
The ritual of asking for luck has been carried out over the past few years.
After each use, the fight for roles and film screenings is always smooth sailing, and Martin certainly won't give up.
Leonardo suddenly whispered: "According to Warner Brothers' estimates, this film may become my highest-grossing film besides Titanic."
Martin said: "I remember you are one of the investors. If you make enough profit, you want to invite me out for three days and three nights."
Leonardo asked: "You also brought capital into the group. It seems that the capital comes from Asia? Why don't you see that investor today?"
Martin has learned: "Wu Maoting can enter the United States, but Canada refuses his entry. Pacific Pictures and my studio are receiving him in Los Angeles."
Nicholson looked at Martin and Leonardo at this time and showed his boss's momentum: "It's about to be shown. Talk less and be quiet. In my day, you would have beaten your brothers to death like this."
Martin was too lazy to reply and looked at the big screen.
This is a vulgar gangster film full of American street culture. Maybe because of his preconceptions, even though he participated in it himself, Martin still thinks the Hong Kong version is better.
It may also be that the refreshing Hong Kong version can give people a clean, fashionable, or even philosophical, romantic and poetic feeling full of oriental undertones.
This film made by Scorsese is probably like the bottom Americans on the street, vulgar, direct and realistic.
From police officers to gangsters, all members use swear words on a daily basis.
The character is unrestrained and lazy.
It can be said that the two films are completely different in expression techniques and film types.
The Hong Kong version is an elite police film.
The Departed is a street-oriented gangster film.
The most important roles in the film are played by Leonardo and Martin, but the real core is Frank, played by Nicholson.
This guy is definitely a genius in acting.
In other words, the person is old, well-informed, and has won enough Oscars, so he doesn’t care.
