Chapter 31
A trip to the beach allowed Martin to clear away the accumulated fatigue in his body.
After returning to school, John came over resentfully
"Boss, you guys went out to play without me."
"Well!"
Martin touched his nose in embarrassment. He had indeed forgotten about this kid.
"Next time, I will definitely call you next time"
"That's a deal!"
"That's a deal!"
John became happy again
"By the way, boss, a reporter came to the school this morning and wanted to interview you, but was blocked by the principal."
Have you found the school? It seems that I can almost show my face.
Mystery does have the effect of amplifying the publicity effect, but Martin still understands that too much is not enough.
When he returned home, Martin saw his agent Jeff
"Martin, it's time for you to be interviewed."
A few days later
"Genius writer Martin Meyers was interviewed and briefly discussed the original intention of creating"Kung Fu Panda" because he had no more stories to tell on the school bus.……"
"Martin Meyers is not only a genius in writing, but also an academic genius. When we interviewed the principal of Martin Meyers’ school, she said: Martin’s excellence is all-round, from Since the beginning of junior high school, he has been excellent in every subject.……"
"Martin Meyers in the eyes of his classmates: He is a hero, he defeated the school bully; he is the best in our school; he is so handsome, I like his blue eyes best; he plays the guitar very well , and also write his own songs……"
On July 7, in just over a month, the 500,000 additional printed copies of"Kung Fu Panda" were sold out. At its peak, more than 23,000 copies were sold in one day.
Random House made a lot of money, and so did Martin.
At the same time,"Kung Fu Panda" also successfully entered the 1997 bestseller list in the United States, ranking 17th.
But everyone knows that this ranking is only temporary.
July 12th.
After more than a month of bombardment,"Made in Heaven" is about to be released.
6925 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles.
Hollywood Chinese Theater
《The premiere of"Made in Heaven" was held here.
Disney had high hopes for the film and invited many stars and famous film critics.
Elizabeth Olsen followed her two sisters into the theater,"Ashley, can I really see Martin today? Can I ask him to sign my book? Will he say yes?""
"Shut up, Elizabeth, you have too many questions."
"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, but Ashley, can you answer my previous question?"
Ashley Olson sighed, glared at Mary Olson who was snickering on the side, and said helplessly:
"Well, you're going to meet Martin Meyers today, and you can ask him to sign your book, but whether he'll sign it for you or not depends on your own charisma."
"Hmm, we can give him Mary, and maybe he will agree. Ashley chuckled, looked at Mary, who had her eyes widened, and said,"I think I can give it a try.""
"Hey, you two have gone too far."
Enter the theater.
The three girls sat down in their seats and waited for the movie to start.
The lights dimmed. The opening scene was a wedding scene on a cruise ship, with candlelight, dance, and fireworks, all showing romance.
If this scene were placed ten years ago In the end, it may make the audience feel dragged out and boring, but in the 1990s, such a scene was still very attractive.
After all, James Cameron’s masterpiece——《"Titanic" has not been released yet.
People's aesthetic appreciation of such scenes has not been infinitely improved.
But compared to the audience who watched it with gusto, those film critics specially invited by Disney found it boring.
《Los Angeles Times film critic Kevin Thomas quickly wrote in his notebook,"The beginning of the movie has a strong commercial atmosphere, a clichéd lavish wedding of a rich kid.……"
At this time, the scene on the screen changed, and the scenes at the wedding turned into old photos, and the time came 11 years and 9 months later.
A group of children took a bus to a summer camp in Maine.
Boys and girls, known and unknown, were all greeting each other, and joyful and lively scenes were presented in front of the audience.
In the chaotic scene, Mike, played by Martin, left the country
"Ok, I finally found my bag."
He smiled and was about to pull his luggage out of the pile of luggage. At this time, several more luggage were thrown over by the staff unloading the truck and pressed on his bag.
Mike's smile froze. on his face.
Then, he took a few steps back with a grimace, showed an awkward yet polite smile, and said to himself:"Okay, okay, I can do it."
He encouraged himself, walked to the luggage bag again, grabbed the strap and pulled it up hard.
At first, he said confidently:"I can do it, I can definitely do it.……"
And then it quickly became,"No, I can't, I simply can't……"
This sequence caused a roar of laughter in the cinema.
Elizabeth:"Hahaha, Mike is so funny."
Then, with the help of two enthusiastic summer camp friends, Mike finally took out his yellow luggage bag.
What follows is a self-introduction to his friends.
Kevin Thomas continued to write:"Martin's performance is not bad, above the standard of a child actor, especially this self-introduction at 5 minutes and 43 seconds of the movie, which fully expresses the character's cheerful and humorous personality……"
In the picture, Mike and his friends walked into the summer camp dormitory talking and laughing.
At this time, a stretched Cadillac sedan came slowly.
The car door opens.
A meticulously dressed butler in a suit got out of the car first.
Then the camera panned down, revealing a pair of feet wearing shiny leather shoes on the ground. The camera slowly moved upwards, and a polite young gentleman appeared in the screen.
Wow!
There was an exclamation in the cinema.
Nancy's shot is well designed and full of anticipation.
When Martin, wearing a light casual suit, fully appeared in the camera, his face bathed in the sun was stunning.
Many little girls present were amazed.
For example, little Elizabeth said,"Wow, Baker is so handsome, but Mike is also pretty good!"
Mary deliberately reminded:"They are played by the same person."
"I know, it's Martin, so Martin is the most handsome."Little stars almost appeared in Elizabeth's eyes.
Kevin Thomas wrote in his notebook:"This shot amazed me. In addition to Nancy's lens design, there is also Martin's outstanding performance. He combined the contrast between the two characters. The feeling is fully expressed……"
