[1967 Intensive Itinerary]

buzzing.

buzzing.

The roar of the aircraft engine continued to linger in the ears, the cabin space of short-haul flights was slightly noisy, and the lack of night mode kept people awake all the time, and the sound of chattering quietly surging in the cabin; When you turn your head, you can see the endless darkness outside the window, like a big ship driving on the sea in the middle of the night, accompanied by the sound of the waves, but it loses its direction in the night and drifts quietly.

Nathan-Pryce tried to concentrate himself, turned on the reading light, and read the materials in his hands attentively, but his thoughts were always a little loose, his frowning brows could not be concealed, and the whole person seemed a little irritable. There was a slight coughing sound and a sound of turning over, and he immediately threw the items in his hand aside, stood up in a panic, and leaned out and threw it towards the other side of the aisle.

However, the baffle blocked all sight, and Nathan was not able to catch any movement, but it attracted the attention of the flight attendant. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Nathan glanced at the seat next to him out of the corner of his eye, shook his head silently, and then said softly, “Let me know in advance before the plane is about to land.” The

flight attendant The staff nodded lightly to show their understanding, and then turned and left again lightly.

Nathan didn’t sit down again, still staring nervously at the seat next to him, worry lingering, and then a low voice came from behind, “Don’t worry, Renly knows what he’s doing. ”

That is Roy Lockley, and they are flying in the direction of the magic capital at this time.

The premiere of “Interstellar” in North America is in full swing, and Warner Bros. obviously has more ambitions for the film’s global box office. After the North American promotion, the entire crew started a long journey of global promotion.

From London, Paris to Berlin, from Singapore, Tokyo to Seoul, from Hong Kong / Hong Kong, Taiwan / North to Magic / Capital, in just two weeks, a total of 13 cities in 10 countries on four continents have been arranged. Propaganda, the density of itinerary has reached a vomiting level, they can be seen in almost every corner of the world, and the average stay time in each city is less than 12 hours, making full use of every minute and every Spread the word in seconds.

The mighty publicity itinerary finally came to the last stop: Magic City, the crew will spend two days and one night here, in fact, strictly speaking, it is less than thirty-six hours, and then Renly will end all the publicity itinerary, Go directly from the magic capital to Honolulu, return to the “Jurassic World” crew, and start shooting again.

The “Interstellar” crew is huge and lively enough,

However, not all actors’ schedules can be matched, so the lineup of each station is different.

For example, in London, except for Renly and Nolan’s joint platform, all the other leading actors were absent, but many of Renly’s British actor friends attended the premiere; Stan, Matt Damon, Timothy Chalamet and others all joined the promotional lineup.

There’s also Magic City, where the trio of Renly, Nolan, and Annie will land at the premiere.

The same is true for Renly himself, because of the filming schedule of “Jurassic World”, Renly’s promotional tour ends in the magic capital, but Nolan and Annie will continue to travel to South America to join Casey Affleck, Michael -The ranks of Kane and Jessica Chastain, continuing the film promotion cycle.

The entire promotion will finally end in Sydney, Australia, and Renly will need to take two days off from the crew to travel from Honolulu to Sydney to complete the final promotion.

The entire promotional itinerary was too intensive and rushing. Because of over-fatigue, Renly felt slightly unwell, and he had some coughs when he left Berlin.

At the beginning, it was just a small cold, and Renly didn’t pay much attention to it; but after arriving in Asia, the density of the publicity itinerary has risen to a higher level. Frequently going in and out between the air-conditioned room and the hot outdoors, the fatigue broke out; The most direct thing is that, in less than 24 hours from yesterday to today, three cities were transferred to Tai/Beijing in the morning and Hong Kong/Hong Kong in the evening, and finally took a red-eye flight to come to Magic Capital. The situation is getting worse, and even some low-grade fever.

Fortunately, the seats in the first-class cabin can lie flat independently. After boarding, Renly fell into a drowsy sleep.

This time, Renly, Annie, and Nolan were very low-key in this trip to the capital, and they did not attract any attention among the passengers on the same flight, but the flight attendants still got the news right away that the captain and the steward had complete information in their hands. The passenger list of the first class also brings a lot of sight between the comings and goings of the first class.

Of course, the flight attendants noticed Renly’s unwell condition. They still maintained their professionalism, did not dare to disturb Renly, and did not take any amateur actions such as candid photography or recording, but did their best to ensure that Renly could have A quiet and stable resting environment; but the sight of coming and going and the initiative to be on call, including clearly knowing the identities of Nathan and Roy, can be seen from the side of Renly’s current global influence.

What Nathan was really worried about was the intense schedule that followed, and he wasn’t sure if Renly’s health would hold up.

At this time, after hearing Roy’s words, Nathan couldn’t hold back his anxiety after all, detoured to Roy’s side, and squatted down beside the seat, “But I don’t understand why Renly is willing to perform this time. The publicity schedule, such an intensive schedule, almost used Renly as a new rookie actor, and Andy lost his temper and rejected the proposal from Warner Bros., but Renly nodded and agreed.”

Similar to For a work of such magnitude as “Harry Potter” or “The Avengers”, the movie promotion schedule is very intensive, but the top actors are not involved in the whole process. On the one hand, considering the intensity of the schedule, it is better to concentrate on the attack. Casting the net in an all-round way can expand the publicity effect; on the other hand, considering the big name of the actors, the most typical one is the Huaxia market. The “Avengers” series starts from the first part to the third part, and goes to the imperial capital to promote it in place. Actors and casts are gradually rising in weight. The more important the market is, the more important the publicity lineup will be.

“Interstellar” should be the same.

But the reality is that Warner Bros. regards Renly as an all-purpose white flower oil, smearing it everywhere, and arranges Renly’s short two-week publicity gap to make people breathless. All the residual value was drained, and such a stupid behavior was strongly rejected by Andy.

To this end, Andy even communicated directly with several middle-level and high-level managers of Warner Bros. by telephone, expressing strong anger with a strong and iron fist, and rejecting the entire propaganda proposal without any room for manoeuvre.

Warner Bros. did not dare to confront Andy head-on. They ordered the publicity team to revise the publicity plan.

But after Renly learned about this, he nodded lightly and agreed that he would not participate in the whole promotion, but he was willing to cooperate fully in the spare time. Therefore, Renly missed the premieres in Barcelona and Rome and attended The promotion schedule in Paris and Berlin; and then missed the premieres in Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo, but attended the premieres in China, China and Taiwan, and the whole promotion schedule was still so dense that it made me vomit.

Due to the publicity schedule, Andy, who opposed it, and Roy, who supported it, also had a quarrel, but after all, it was decided according to Renly’s wishes.

Roy folded the “Times” in his hand, thought about it carefully, and then said to Nathan, “Do you know why I want to be Renly’s manager?”

What’s the problem? Nathan is confused. , but he still nodded, “I know, Renly gave you a helping hand when you were hiking in the wild?”

“Ha, yes, but it wasn’t.” Roy laughed, “The hiking in the wild that time. He did help me, but I definitely didn’t want to work for him for the sake of repayment, it’s the 21st century, there are many ways to repay, and selling myself to work for him is not the best choice.”

Nathan Did not laugh.

Roy didn’t mind, as he was still lazy, “When we met in the wild, he once asked me why he thought of walking alone, because I wanted to find the answer to life; then I asked him the same question again. , the answer he gave me at the time was: I don’t want to forget myself. I chewed on that sentence for a long time, and finally understood the wisdom of life in it. Renly is not only an excellent actor, he is also a person who really knows how to enjoy life. People.

There are too many temptations in life, fame, glory, status, money, privileges, desires, etc., etc., if you relax your vigilance a little, you may be lost. Among them, forget your original intention and the essence of life. All efforts and struggles should ultimately be for your own beliefs, persistence and happiness. If you forget these in the process of chasing those temptations/tempts, then even if you have more and more The more you can’t be happier, the more you lose the true meaning of life, the purest and simplest happiness.

Hollywood is such a place, the spotlights and spotlights are too dazzling, and when you are in it, you accidentally forget your original intention, and you lose your place in the bubble of blockbusters.

Renly has never forgotten who he is, which is why he is always happy.

But Nathan didn’t understand, “What does this have to do with Renly’s promise of an intensive trip?”

Roy laughed dumbly, “because he didn’t want to forget the group of Don Quixotes who followed him.” Without them, Renly would He is still alone on the road of chasing his dreams, and he doesn’t want him to forget that.
