"This boy is really lucky~"
Shion, who was sitting in the back two rows, looked at Nanaya being hugged by women on both sides and gritted her teeth.
Although he agreed to attack Ryan, wasn't this man's action too fast?
And what happened to Lily?
I didn't say you can have both sisters!
"You are pushing your luck..."
Shion cursed quietly in a voice that only she could hear.
But Shion frowned and muttered to herself.
Even if you didn't hear clearly what she said, you would notice that something was wrong with her.
So, of course, the people sitting next to Shion asked her questions.
"Ms. Shion, what's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing."
Shion hurriedly shook her head. She smiled and said to the other party: "Uncle Lucas, I was just a little distracted."
Sitting next to Shion was none other than George Lucas.
In order to establish a good relationship with the other party, Shion has been very diligent in interacting with the other party during this period.
Because Washimine's relationship with the other party has fallen behind that between Disney and Fox.
Shion deliberately put herself in the position of a junior to communicate with the other party.
Lucas still likes this cheap junior very much.
Shion is sweet-talker and treats me very well.
In addition, there are many cooperative projects between Washimine and Lucasfilm.
From online video copyright to cooperation in the gaming field.
It can be said that Washimine just made up for what Lucas had previously lacked in developing the value of the "Star Wars" IP.
This made Lucas even more satisfied with Shion.
Of course, considering the other party's age and status in the film industry, it wouldn't be a loss for Shion to call him "uncle".
But what Shion was more concerned about today was not George Lucas, but Steven Spielberg who was sitting next to him.
Even though she knew that he would come to the movie premiere, Shion really didn't expect that he would sit so close to her.
However, there was no particularly serious conflict between Washimine and Spielberg.
Although when FSN was released that year, the competition with "War of the Worlds" caused some conflicts between the two sides.
But that was not the main reason for the failure of "War of the Worlds", nor was it the reason for the bankruptcy of DreamWorks.
At most, it can only be regarded as normal business competition.
With Spielberg's good temper, he would have let go of such trivial matters long ago.
If we really want to hold someone accountable, shouldn't Warner and Michael Bay be held more accountable for the failure of "Escape from the Island"?
So despite being curious, Shion didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"It is such an honor for me to have Mr. Spielberg here at the premiere of Inferno."
Shion greeted Old Spiel with a smile.
Although he is no longer the boss of DreamWorks, he is still a representative figure of the Jewish community in Hollywood.
Spielberg's extensive network and energy in Hollywood deserve Shion's respect.
"Nothing. Although I am old, my heart is still active."
As a well-known veteran, Spielberg always smiles at everyone.
"I have read the first and second parts of FSN and the first part of FZ, so I am considered a half fan of the Fate series."
"This time when "Purgatory's Flame" is released, I really want to know the ending of the story as soon as possible."
Shion smiled but said nothing.
If Spielberg was really a fan of Fate, he would have known the ending long ago.
Spielberg continued, "And James also mentioned it to me at the beginning. Your director Kiryu used new technologies in both Inferno and Madoka Magica, which is still being filmed."
Shion knew that the James the other party mentioned was James Cameron.
"I have visited James' set. If what he said is true, then he and Director Kiryu will bring a new technological revolution to Hollywood."
"Mr. Spielberg, you flatter me." Shion replied modestly.
Spielberg shook his head and said, "Don't be modest. Let's not talk about the IMAX craze you brought with Goblin Slayer. The 3D technology you used in FZ alone has shown people the future of movies."
As he spoke, Spielberg waved the 3D glasses in his hand.
Then, Old Spiel turned the topic to the movie "Inferno" itself.
"I have watched the trailer of the movie. Many of the shots and editing methods are very novel. These are worth learning."
[This is probably the truth. ]
Shion finally understood why Spielberg came to attend the movie premiere.
Now that he is no longer the boss of DreamWorks, if he does not want to retire, he can continue to be a director.
Although Spielberg has never left the front line, he was definitely out of touch with the forefront of the times due to the constraints of his company's operations.
This is proven by the fact that Spielberg's several films since "The Terminal" have not performed particularly well at the box office.
In this case, Spielberg naturally needs to continue to learn from the current popular movies.
Understand their technical applications, observe their shot editing, and then enrich yourself with what you have learned.
Spielberg is well aware that this is a rapidly changing era.
If he does not absorb new elements for his own use, he will inevitably be eliminated in the future.
But Shion thought of her man's evaluation of the director.
"What Spielberg lacked was never the production technology, but the concept of making movies."
Shion still remembers the helplessness and regret Nanaya felt when he said those words.
"Spielberg has a similar problem to Michael Bay. If he can't break away from the core framework of his past works, then Spielberg will only go downhill."
"Because the audience has long been tired of his three-pronged attack."
Although Spielberg's films are far less fast-food than Baywatch, North American audiences are already familiar with the sincere interactions between his characters.
Overseas audiences are okay, but North America has long since stopped buying into this.
This is also why Spielberg's movies occasionally have good box office performance overseas, but they are just flops in North America.
Although Shion felt that her man's evaluation was very reasonable, she was not familiar with Spielberg, so there was no need to remind him.
So after dealing with the other party for a few more sentences, Shion took the initiative to end the conversation between the two parties.
Shion's reason for ending the conversation was simple: the movie was about to start.
Although "Purgatory" will not be officially released on a large scale until tomorrow.
However, many movie fans can no longer wait any longer. Having already waited for a year, they can no longer wait patiently until tomorrow.
This is somewhat similar to the explosive box office performance of the premiere of "Endgame" in Nanaya's previous life.
After a year of anticipation and waiting, everyone's expectations for the movie have reached its peak.
Many viewers who never go to the premiere chose to watch the movie in advance to satisfy their cravings.
As for the fans of Fate, they were so eager to watch the movie that they pre-ordered tickets for the nearest premiere as soon as possible.
And those fans who were fortunate enough to attend the preview also chose to watch it a second time.
As core fans, they were very satisfied with the finished film, so it was normal for them to watch it again.
Many box office prediction agencies believe that the first-day box office of "Inferno" is likely to break the new record set by the first half of FZ last year.
This time, "Purgatory's Flame" is different from previous films released by Washimine Entertainment.
This is Washimine's first film to be released simultaneously on a large scale around the world.
Judging from the results, Washimine's operation this time was very successful.
After expending enormous energy and resources, Washimine Entertainment finally managed to release "Inferno" simultaneously in 105 countries and regions around the world.
Being able to achieve such a level also proves that Washimine Entertainment's distribution capabilities are comparable to the Big Six.
Ordinary movie fans certainly don't know how much effort Washimine put in to achieve this result.
The only thing they knew was that they would be able to see the ending of FZ no later than other viewers around the world.
That's enough to get excited.
However, this kind of excitement is something that Japanese audiences do not have.
As the base camp of Washimine Entertainment, the Japanese film market is basically able to release films simultaneously with North America.
Therefore, Japanese movie fans have long been accustomed to being able to watch movies almost at the same time as North American audiences.
However, they still felt excited about watching the movie.
"Well...it's about to begin."
Asuna, sitting on the throne in the IMAX theater, was shaking her legs constantly.
Although she was not able to see Inferno again at the third preview in North America, she immediately booked the earliest screening in Japan after returning home.
From the moment this young lady entered the theater, she became the focus of attention of everyone around her.
It's not just because of Miss Asuna's beautiful appearance, but also because she is wearing a COS costume of Artoria.
Although his hair was not dyed blonde (his family did not allow it), his clothes were also missing metal armor.
But this blue and white knight's dress alone is still enough to attract people's attention.
"It's a pity that we can't bring in the knight's sword. The ticket inspector is so rigid." Asuna said regretfully.
Asuna felt pretty good about herself regarding the curious looks that came from all around.
She asked her boyfriend next to her, "You said that without the knight's sword and blonde hair, will they not be able to tell that I am COSing Artoria?"
"That shouldn't be the case. After all, the clothes are so conspicuous." Kiritani smiled bitterly helplessly.
"But, Asuna..."
"What?"
"You can't dye your hair blonde, so why not wear a blonde wig?"
"…"
"…"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
