On 5.6, the grand premiere of "300 Spartans" was held at the Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

On the long red carpet at the door, director Zack Snyder, starring Gerard Butler, David Wenham, Dominic West, Vincent Regan, Michael Fassbender, The sports boy group formed by Tom Westorm appeared in turn with the **** queen Sienna Miller.

Adapted from Frank Miller's cult comics, "Spartan 300" has received a lot of attention since the beginning of filming.

Simon Pike and Twentieth Century Fox president Tom Rothman stand side by side in the hall.

"We expect to invest close to 40 million US dollars in advertising costs. At present, it seems that it is still worth it," Tom Rothman smiled. After all, at the preview meeting, the film evaluation was very good.

40 million US dollars, Simon's eyelids picked it, then the total cost of this movie is ready to exceed 100 million US dollars!

"The DVD of The Devil Wears Prada is about to be released, Tom?" Simon reminded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Simon, after the release, the credit will be credited to Xinghai Pictures' account as soon as possible," Tom Rothman said, patting Simon's shoulder lightly.

"This British director is good, and this strong personal style is very interesting. Simon, you have developed a pure men's film." Tom Rothman also felt very visual impact when he first watched the film.

"Not bad, "The New Zombies" is his directorial debut, and it is also a very good genre film. Zack Snyder used to shoot commercial MVs, and he has studied the sense of the picture. In fact, his plot grasp is not bad, but "Spartan 300" mainly pursues the sense of picture, and the plot is weakened," Simon himself is more optimistic about Zack Snyder.

"After half a month, it will be released in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. I hope this movie will still have the momentum of the previous "The Queen Wears Prada"!"

Simon nodded and smiled: "The movie is about to start, go in!"

Inside the theater, Simon came to his seat, where Blake Lively was already seated.

"Simon, the Iranian government is protesting this movie loudly!" Blake Lively whispered.

"Come on, it's not planned to be released in Iran anyway," Simon shook his head. That little market doesn't matter, and this movie will definitely not be able to enter China.

If you want to enter other people's market after putting people in Persian black like this, don't think about it!

"By the way, Jennifer Smith's role in "26 Dresses" is over, and I'm going to go to New York to shoot "Gossip Girl" as soon as possible. Will you go to New York after that?" Blake Lively asked.

Simon nodded and said, "Of course I'm going. The things over there are very important. This year, it is estimated that I will often fly between Los Angeles and New York!"

"Well," Blake Lively continued watching the movie, "Oh, the movie does seem a little bloody!"

"Oh, Frank Miller is the artist who created this kind of cartoon, at least it's much better than "Sin City", and the impact of this picture is much stronger," Simon is very satisfied, all of them are lumpy belly Muscular men, don't these guys in Europe and America like strong men? This group is all.

During the two hours, the audience would exclaim from time to time, and the **** slashing from the knife to the flesh seemed to suit some people's tastes!

"Go back, just leave the rest of the time to them," Simon said, leading Blake Lively out of the theater.

On the road in front of the entrance of the Chinese Grand Theater, there are stars one after another, stepping on them, Simon said with a smile:

"It seems very honorable to let so many people step on me every day, and I don't know why those celebrities are rushing to print their names!"

"Haha, Simon, this is an honor that belongs to Hollywood, and you will receive this kind of invitation soon!" Of course, Blake Lively hoped that his name could also be printed, it was an honor.

"I'm not interested, I still have to pay, and I don't like being trampled on," Simon shook his head. According to his own situation, I believe that he will soon receive an invitation from Yin Xingxing because of the producer's achievements, but , boring.

"Simon, a photo of you and Bob Weinstein in a bar in New York was leaked, have you reconciled?" Blake Lively asked in a low voice.

Simon was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Reconcile with them? How could you reconcile so easily when you mocked me so much before?"

"It was just a casual chat at the bar. Hollywood is already crowded. There are six major filmmakers on top, and there are also independent publishers in the middle. Is Xinghai Entertainment always the bottom-level independent production company?"

Simon looked at the sky and said, "Being an independent production and distributor is a must. At that time, it will be both public and private, and Weinstein Pictures are all my direct enemies. They have a better life, and my life will be difficult!"

"Recently, Harvey Weinstein and Democratic candidate Hillary got very close, often helping to organize fundraising dinners, and many Hollywood stars support Hillary!" Although Blake Lively is young, he also knows business and Politics are inseparable.

"I know that Hillary does have too many fans in Hollywood. In every presidential election, Hollywood is the front line of the Democratic Party's attack." Of course, Simon knows that Hollywood is about to move, and Hillary is in the limelight. There was always a woman, and now the *** is indeed not as powerful as him, but in the hearts of voters who are looking for change, a man is always better than a woman, even though the man is black.

"Okay, let's get on with filming, these things are a little far off," Simon said and Blake Lively got into the car.

Los Angeles, which is dimly lit, knows that this day is about to change. The financial tsunami is more exciting than any presidential campaign.

The release of "Spartan 300 Warriors" produced by Xinghai Pictures collected a high box office of 70.88 million US dollars in 3,100 theaters in North America in the first weekend.

"An epic movie with a new way of shooting!"

--The Hollywood Reporter

"Flying male hormones, a visual feast!"

--"empire"

"The empty plot can only be made up by the pictures!"

- "Variety"

At the beginning of May, "Spartan 300 Warriors", which took the lead in provoking the summer box office bomb, was indeed an alternative movie, and it was considered to be an epic movie comparable to "Gladiator".

What I don't like is that it is a visual impact movie with empty content, relying on muscles and blood to win eyeballs.

In any case, most of the praise, the North American box office of the film has officially opened the prelude to the 2007 summer season.
