Chatty Hollywood

With the internationalization of Hollywood movies, it is increasingly not a new thing to have some blockbuster premieres abroad.

Not to mention, the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" was held by Disney in Shanghai, China.

Isn’t it for the growing Chinese market?

In the later stage, in order to reduce the losses caused by piracy, they even started simultaneous screening around the world.

However, in 1995, this kind of thing was not that common.

Therefore, when Charlotte heard that Paramount wanted the premiere of "Sleepy Hollow" to take place in London, England, he immediately wanted to refuse.

There is no other reason, it’s too troublesome!

However, Andrew Kevin Walker convinced him.

"In recent years, Hollywood movies have done well at the box office in the UK! By hosting the premiere of 'Sleepy Hollow' in the UK, it will definitely further increase the box office of the movie."

They are both producers and have similar personalities. When Andrew came up, he used money to talk things over.

"Besides, I have already seen the finished film of "Sleepy Hollow", which is very good, especially the dark, absurd and terrifying style. I think it will be very suitable for British tastes."

"British taste?"

Charlotte shrugged.

"The British Empire is famous for its dark cuisine. However, if the premiere is in the UK, what will happen in North America?"

"Simultaneous screening!"

Andrew's tone was very sure,

"Our most important priority is always the North American market. Therefore, at 6:30 pm on Halloween in New York time, we will start screening locally, which is Greenwich Mean Time in the UK——"

"10:30 pm. Come to think of it, that's Tuesday, right?"

Charlotte made some preliminary calculations, but remembering that Britain and the United States still had the damn daylight saving time system, she couldn't help but have a headache.

"am I right?"

"Honestly, I don't know either."

Honest Andrew shrugged,

"Anyway, you just need to know that it will be screened simultaneously in both places."

"Right."

Charlotte suddenly thought of another question,

"Does that mean we have to go to England on the day of the premiere——"

"Yes."

Andrew nodded,

"You, Charlize and Depp all need to go to London for the premiere!"

"What about my previous plan?"

"Depp said he's still thinking about it."

"This guy is so cowardly!"

Charlotte cursed...

**********

Time sometimes passes very slowly, as slowly as a snail.

Sometimes it goes by so fast, like a bullet being fired.

In a blink of an eye, Halloween, the holiday symbolized by pumpkin heads, has arrived.

On the morning of October 31st, several creative members of the "Sleepy Hollow" crew boarded a plane across the Atlantic——

Target, London.

"Christopher, when we get to London, this is your territory."

On the plane, Charlize joked with Christopher Lee, the oldest actor on the set.

"At your service to the beautiful lady!"

As an old-school actor born in 1922, the future Master Saruman and Count Dooku are very gentlemanly. He gave Charlize a simple gentleman's salute, making the girl giggle.

In "Sleepy Hollow", Christopher Lee's role is not important, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a soy sauce.

The reason why he went to London with the creators of the show was just to catch a flight home.

"After the premiere, you can come to my house as a guest."

The old man warmly invited everyone, but his next sentence revealed his British nature.

"I'll treat you to potatoes and fried fish."

——As a subject from the dark culinary kingdom, Christopher Lee can live on potatoes and fish for a lifetime, but other Americans present are not so good.

"plum,

Let’s spare us this! "

Winona Ryder, who accompanied Depp to the premiere in London, smiled and begged for mercy.

After several months of training, this classical beauty has completely restored her former style.

Now, the relationship between her and Depp is very delicate - they have not reconciled. But seeing how the two get along with each other, there is no slightest barrier between them. It is not a problem to say that they have been married for many years.

"Have they ever..."

In her own mind, Charlotte asked a somewhat obscene question.

"No."

The one who answered him was River Phoenix, who had been following Depp and Winona in ghost form.

"After all, the two of them have not officially reunited, and they still have some obstacles in their hearts. Besides, Winona's body has not been fully restored before."

——Thanks to this, I didn’t go blind!

Rui Fan muttered in his heart.

"Charlotte, can I get away from these two?"

The new Headless Horseman is actually very anxious about this issue.

Being possessed by Depp, he naturally knew the other party's plan. In Ruifan's view, if Depp succeeds today, the two of them will definitely start having sex as soon as they return to the hotel...

Ruifan really didn't want to see that shocking scene.

In particular, his head and body were attached to Winona and Depp respectively, which means that at that time...

It’s embarrassing just thinking about it!

And Charlotte actually knew this.

He barely suppressed the urge to laugh loudly, and then said to River Phoenix in his mind,

"Don't worry, I will summon you back after tonight's premiere."

"That's good!"

Rui Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

*********

When the crew arrived in London, it was already the afternoon of Greenwich Mean Time.

It took them a long time to arrive at the premiere.

There is a full Halloween atmosphere——

Pumpkin lanterns were decorated on the walls of the theater, and fans waiting for the premiere even dressed up in various costumes——

"This is Dracula, that is Frankenstein..."

Charlotte looked at the costumes of the fans with interest,

"If a few more kids come and shout "Trick-or-treat," then there really will be nothing missing."

However, they are not here for Halloween after all.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the premiere begins——

It should be said that compared to Depp and Winona, Charlotte and Charlize are really not that famous.

After all, one of them is a director working behind the scenes, so it is naturally not easy for them to become famous.

Although the other one is a female star, she has just emerged for more than a year, and her influence has not yet left North America and expanded to Europe.

But no matter what, with her reputation as a heroine and her top-notch looks, Charlize still attracts a lot of attention.

As for Charlotte——

Entertainment reporters asked him a lot of questions, but ordinary movie fans didn't pay much attention to him.

What everyone pays more attention to is Johnny Depp as the leading actor, and Winona Ryder who comes with him.

"Hey Johnny, Winona, do you want to get back together?"

After a reporter asked this question, Winona Ryder was about to shake her head when Depp suddenly stood up.

He walked up to Winona, knelt down on one knee, and held a small box in his hand. The exquisite diamond ring inside was shining...

PS1: "The Proposal Battle" is a 2007 Japanese drama starring Masami Nagasawa and Tomohisa Yamashita. PS2: Regarding the time difference issue between the United Kingdom and the United States, I have specifically checked. The UK is Greenwich Mean Time, time zone 0. New York in the United States is in the 5th district of the West. It is said that the difference is 5 hours. However, because both the United Kingdom and the United States have daylight saving time systems, which is one hour ahead of the original time, this shortens the time difference to 4 hours. Because daylight saving time ends late in the United States and ends early in the United Kingdom, on Halloween, British summer time ends and daylight saving time ends in the United States, so the time difference is 4 hours. PS3: Of course, my calculations may be wrong. But that’s how everyone is optimistic about it.
