Chapter 819

Outside the Holy Citizen Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles, the red carpet ceremony for Jurassic Park 2 opened at 5:00 on May 31.

This summer in 1995 included a series of heavyweight blockbusters such as "Red Tide Storm", "Die Hard 3", "Ghost Elf", "Apollo 13", "Brave Heart", "Future Water World". Except for the project that lost control, which led to the final investment of US$175 million, other films cannot compare with the "Jurassic Park" series in terms of production budget, promotional investment, IP popularity, etc.

The sequel directed by Michael Bay has burned 100 million US dollars. For a director who is very good at saving the studio's budget while ensuring the quality of the film, the film's effect will naturally be further improved if he gives enough budget. Not only that, the promotional budget for "Jurassic Park 2" also reached 80 million US dollars, and such a high investment can only be compared with "Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" at the end of the year.

The total investment of $180 million in project is, even for many popular sequels of this era, studios often have to bear great risks and pressures, but the "Jurassic Park" series has no worries in this regard at all.

It is just the first part of the series. In recent years, it has brought more than $1 billion in net income to Daenerys Entertainment through box office, video, peripherals and other revenues.

Through negotiations, Daenerys Entertainment is expected to receive a high share of about 65% from North American theaters, which also means that the North American box office of "Jurassic Park 2" is only more than US$275 million, but the local theater release is enough to recover all US$180 million in investment.

The first song of "Jurassic Park" released at the end of 1992 reached US$356 million in local box office.

Although Steven Spielberg withdrew from this sequel, under Simon's personal control, Michael Bay, a commercial film director who rarely misses in the original time and space, joined. With Daenerys Entertainment's unremitting investment and overwhelming publicity, as long as the reputation is not particularly broken, relying on the popularity of the full-name IP that has been established in the series, it will be very easy for North American box office to hit $300 million.

In fact, after several consecutive internal previews, both the senior executives of Daenerys Entertainment, the film critics invited to attend, and the few ordinary viewers who were lucky enough to have a sneak peek, all had quite positive comments on the original film of "Jurassic Park 2". This is actually the confidence that Daenerys Entertainment spent 80 million yuan to promote and publish the budget after investing $100 million.

Daenerys Entertainment's "Jurassic Park 2" in recent months has been a brainwashing large-scale publicity, and has formed a subconscious in the hearts of the American public, a subconscious that "Jurassic Park 2" belongs to the must-see videos in this summer.

As Daenerys Entertainment's absolute "child" and the strong influence of this series is no less than the DC movie universe project, the premiere of "Jurassic Park 2" not only chose to be held in the Holy Citizen Auditorium, which can accommodate thousands of people in downtown Los Angeles, but the premiere is no less than many formal event ceremonies.

Starting at five o'clock, the premiere red carpet began to appear like a big star in the entertainment and fashion industry, and the screams of onlookers almost never stopped.

About 10 minutes after the red carpet ceremony started, a white extended concierge car parked at the entrance of the red carpet. Cathy Hilton got out of the car with her husband Richard Hilton's arm, and immediately felt the hot atmosphere at the scene. The screams of the fans even made the woman's heart beat faster.

Looking around, there are dense crowds of people on both sides of the red carpet.

As I looked over the crowd, I could see a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex model standing on one side, one by one, hideous and shocking, but it was a lot of money to transport this big guy to the center of Los Angeles.

Revealing her husband's slight pulling forcefully, Cathy Hilton withdrew his gaze from the Tyrannosaurus Rex, quickly cheered up, and stepped onto the red carpet with a decent smile.

The couple used to be supermodel Claudia Shiver and her boyfriend, the famous magician David Copperfield. Both of them are very famous, which attracted the call and screams of movie fans on both sides. In comparison, the Hiltons are not so familiar. After all, they cannot hang the surname "Hilton" on them. The audience of "The Wife of New York" has little social interaction with the fans around them, so they get much less attention.

Cathy Hilton was not disappointed.

Being able to step on today's red carpet was a success for her. Cathy Richards, an actress in the 1970s who had been silent since she was married, returned to the public eye again.

When Cathy Hilton successfully married into a wealthy family like Hilton, he thought he could live a luxurious life as a rich wife, but as a result, many things were very different from their previous imagination. The Hilton family is indeed a wealthy family, but this family is obviously more famous than wealth. To put it bluntly, it is just a glamorous shell.

Although the standard of living is far superior to that of ordinary people, in fact, the family children of Richard Hilton's generation can only receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in living subsidies from family trusts every year. If you want more, you can only work on your own. There is even no family business stocks that many wealthy heirs often hold.

When Conrad Hilton died, all other stock assets were donated to the Hilton Family Foundation and some other charitable organizations, which led to Richard Hilton's father Byron Hilton's lawsuit for nearly a decade for the legacy.

What he finally obtained was only the voting rights of the related stocks and a small number of stocks that were far lower than expected. Byron Hilton's current net worth of about 200 million US dollars, and even the Forbes US 400 Rich List could not be entered. Moreover, although Byron Hilton did not hesitate to sue for his father's inheritance that year, he basically gave nothing to his eight children, just like Conrad Hilton back then.

Therefore, in order to be more prosperous over the years, Cathy Hilton had to use the surname Hilton to start a design firm.

He started to play "The Wife of New York" in the first half of the year and signed two sequel contracts directly after achieving good results, which was a turning point for the Hiltons. Or, the night half a month ago, it was another turning point.

After that night, at first, Cathy Hilton was still a little worried that Simon Westeros would pester him.

Even if this marriage is not as glamorous as I thought back then, Cathy Hilton was very satisfied. Compared with her two sisters, she could feel superior enough. Therefore, she would never want the incident that night to spread and make changes in her current life.

Simon Westeros is just having fun, and this is very clear.

Cathy Hilton is very realistic. She knows that her age does not allow her to stay with him like Westeros’ young lovers, and it is even more impossible to replace Westeros’ marriage. It is the wisest thing to do to keep what she has.

I was nervous for more than a week, but nothing happened.

Not only did the incident that night without any slightest rumor in Manhattan, but most importantly, Simon Westeros has never contacted them again.

Only then did I realize that a young man obviously didn't take what happened that night at all, even if it was the three sisters together.

Mix the ball!

Realizing this, Cathy Hilton's mentality changed. On the other hand, her two sisters were even more anxious than her. They called each other every few days to test whether Westeros had asked them for another appointment, and also tried to ask for a man's contact information. God knows that she did not have Westeros' contact information, and because of this, her two sisters questioned her, thinking that she was hiding her own personal information.

Until this premiere.

Before the incident, the two sisters urged her to see Westeros again at the premiere or afterwards party. There was no further information after that day. Her initial reaction was to refuse. Unexpectedly, the little sister Kyle was a little anxious and hinted that if she didn't help, she would not guarantee that she would say anything.

What can you say?

I just want to tell my husband or something.

Cathy Hilton was also anxious at first, and soon relaxed, and in turn warned her sister that if she was chewing around, she would think about what Simon Westeros would react. Not to mention the other party's power and wealth, she would be a guy who dared to organize a private army to go to Africa to kill tens of thousands of people to overthrow a country.

Of course, I also know that the two sisters are "eating the marrow and knowing the taste".

Just one night, although Westeros left early afterwards, he was generous to them.

Although, well, some of the actions of the butler at first made them offend, and then they were allowed to choose from the room of famous clothing, shoes and shoulder bags, and in the end each had an expensive jewelry gift. Anyway, Cathy Hilton had never been so relaxed in spending for so many years.

At that time, he matched it with a limited edition Hermes platinum bag and a diamond necklace. Cathy Hilton quietly checked and converted it, and the total value was over 300,000 US dollars.

The two sisters got no worse than hers.

In just one night, Westeros gave away $1 million, which is more than the total income of their family in the previous year. Many ordinary people probably have never seen so much money in their lives.

How could such a generous guy not attract women?

Faced with the constant instigation of the two sisters, my heart began to relax. If I couldn't contact Westeros, Cathy Hilton found Robert Egg, the insider that night. Then, the premiere ticket was not a problem, and the invitation to the party afterwards could be obtained successfully, but there was only one red carpet ticket.

Because it is a red carpet ceremony to be broadcast online at the Igrit portal, large-scale press releases will be arranged afterwards, which is also a kind of publicity. If any cat and dog are allowed to step on the red carpet, it will be a bit self-deprecating.

Of course, Robert Iger would not say words like "A cat and a dog". This is Cathy Hilton's own understanding.

Looking at the supermodel Claudia Schiffer and the famous magician David Copperfield in front of the couple, listening to the shouts of "Broches" from behind him. It should be the "beautiful baby" Brooches Xiaosi, who became famous for the young. Obviously, if you count carefully, the couple is not qualified to step on the red carpet. It is obviously a favor given by Robert Eiger because of Westeros.

Of course, it was only given a favor.

The two sisters who wanted to step on the red carpet had to take her two daughters into the auditorium through the ordinary audience passage. This time the family came here together. Paris and Nikki had already had summer vacation. After tonight, the husband would return to the West Coast to continue working. The mother and daughter can stay here for a few days.

I think those two uneasy sisters would be more jealous of her sister.

Hate, hate, hate.

Thinking of this in his heart, the smile on Cathy Hilton's face was still impeccable. Facing some cheering and screaming fans, he would wave his hand gently, and finally cross the red carpet, signing the name on the huge poster with some unsatisfactoryness, and then joining the media area with her husband, taking some simple photos, letting go of her husband's arms, Richard Hilton walked away tactfully, leaving all the flashlights to his wife.

After posing for a while, he found that Brooke Little Silk not far away had approached. Cathy Hilton reluctantly left. Under the guidance of the staff, he came to the backstage of the auditorium for a short rest. This is a special treatment for the guests of the red carpet. Some people will change their clothes here. The Versace dress on Cathy Hilton can be used until the evening outfit at the party, so there is no need to worry about it.

Actually, it's not enough to make a living.

It is very expensive to hire a small team specifically for this, and she doesn't have the full support of an agency like those hot supermodels or Hollywood actresses. In order to save money, she has no signing an agency and has been an actress before, but these are experienced.

This time, the only other preparations I made was to say hello to a photographer in the red carpet area just now, and afterwards, I was able to get some good photos and post them on my Facebook and Instagram. This was a suggestive requirement from Daenerys Entertainment when I participated in "The Wife of New York" in the first half of the year. It would be best if all the protagonists could enter these two social platforms. Cathy Hilton also specially learned some computers for a while.

The unspoken rules of the red carpet ceremony are, the more important the guests appear, the later they appear.

The one-hour red carpet ceremony was planned, and the Hiltons and his wife were arranged to appear 10 minutes later. It can also be seen that their treatment was not dissatisfied with Cathy Hilton.

Enter the backstage early and you can take the opportunity to have some social interaction.

In the next half hour, the couple really met many people, but Simon Westeros never appeared. It was not until nearly six o'clock that they entered the hall and found that the Westeros arrived at the time point and entered the hall directly. If they had not paid attention, they found that the Westeros were gathered to talk by several main creators of "Jurassic Park 2". They could not even find that the couple appeared tonight, perhaps the other party hadn't walked the red carpet just now.

Westeros is completely confident that he doesn't care about these things now.

The Hiltons were in a relatively back seat, and they were with the Richards and their two daughters, obviously, they had no chance to contact Westeros.

After finding her place to sit down, Cathy Hilton noticed that the screen at the premiere tonight was a bit exaggerated. When he heard his two daughters chattering and reposting the comments he had just heard, he realized that this was called IMAX.

Finally turned his attention to tonight's movie.

Start some startups.

Six o'clock.

The movie begins on time when the lights in the hall are dim.

After the opening of the film, the opening of the film is a fierce pursuit scene.

Several military helicopters fought against a large group of toothless pterosaurs who escaped from the cage of the dinosaur island. This scene of Simon refers to the plot of "Jurassic World" in memory. It was the plot of the pterosaur hanging tourists into the air. However, the scale of the toothless pterosaur this time is not as overwhelming as "Jurassic World". The number is about a dozen. The plot is that the pterosaur tribe attacks the town, and the government has to use helicopters to culpture it.

Just looking at the shocking screen display effect on the huge screen, the Sacred Citizen Auditorium came from irrepressible amazement.

Moreover, just the beginning, the audience felt a completely different picture shot style from the first "Jurassic Park".

Spielberg is a quite old-school filmmaker, so even special effects blockbusters like "Jurassic Park" will inevitably have a conservative and classical style due to their long-term habits. Anyone who has watched Spielberg's movies will probably have some experience. Even "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" in 2008 will still give people the feeling of a movie in the 1980s.

In comparison, Michael Bay is completely a representative of the new generation of filmmakers.

Whether it is cool shots or sharp editing, it is more in line with the era of CG special effects blockbusters that have arrived quickly.

In the auditorium of the Holy Citizens, Michael Bay showed the camera style he was good at to the fullest. The toothless pterosaur hung the residents of the town into the air, and the airborne snipers and the primitive dinosaurs were tensely confronted by the helicopter cannon and the toothless pterosaurs, and even air-air missiles, as well as burning, colliding, and explosions.

A fierce explosion.

How could the explosion be without explosion?

In just 7 minutes of the opening, many viewers at the scene decided to watch it again after this premiere. Of course, if you can still watch it on such a huge IMAX screen tonight, it seems to be better. However, most people also realize that this seems unrealistic.

The same is true.

IMAX technology has appeared in the early 1970s and is widely distributed in science and technology museums around the world for broadcasting various popular science documentaries. This company has been trying to promote IMAX to the film market for many years, but it has not made any progress in all aspects of the high costs involved.

Until last year, Daenerys Entertainment quietly bought the company in Canada and injected funds to start further research and development of IMAX filmization, mainly breaking through the duration limit of traditional IMAX films and 35MM film conversion IMAX film technology.

The premiere of "Jurassic Park 2" is an experimental public debut.

There is still a long way to go to really want to promote it on a large scale.
