American fame and fortune

The Dome Theater in Los Angeles was built in the 1970s when the mill movie was booming. It is a holy place in the minds of countless B-movie fans.

The fan and media meeting of "Zombie Gigolo" is here.

In the small theater, the movie is being shown.

In the next lounge, Blake, the publicity director of Lionsgate Films, once again emphasized the precautions to Martin, Catherine and Benjamin: "You can talk less, and you must not talk nonsense. When you encounter sensitive or embarrassing questions, don't rush to answer them. We have people among the journalists and fans who will help you out."

He looked at Martin and said directly: "Your role is the most brilliant, fans and reporters will focus on you, can you face the camera and face them calmly?"

Martin was ready when he arrived: "No problem."

Benjamin chimed in: "Our hero is the number one gigolo in Atlanta, and he's seen everything."

Black boosted Martin's confidence: "Don't be afraid of entertainment reporters and those online entertainment bloggers, they rely on us for food."

Catherine, who was ignored, felt a little complicated.

Black called his assistant and asked, "Notified?"

The assistant said: "The focus will be on the leading actor."

After the screening in the cinema hall, Blake clapped his hands and said to the three of Martin, "Come with me."

The four of them entered through the side door of the theater and went up to the small stage together.

Those who came here today, except for the media reporters and entertainment bloggers invited by Lionsgate Films, were all B-movie fanatics.

Seeing the three main creators appear on the stage, they applauded enthusiastically.

The movie hall is not big, with a total of more than 100 people. The communication between movie fans is close contact, and many audiences flock to the stage.

Benjamin and Catherine hadn't experienced it before. Martin had already taken the initiative to move forward, came to the edge of the stage, sat on the edge of the stage, and said with a smile, "Everyone, don't squeeze, we have plenty of time, let's talk slowly."

Most of the audience gathered to his side.

Martin must control the rhythm and initiative, and asked: "Guys, is the movie good?"

The man with glasses at the front laughed: "The plot is as bad as shit, crudely made." His voice changed abruptly: "It is the most impressive one among the B-movies I have seen this year."

Martin couldn't help but look at this person more, highly suspecting that this is an undercover agent arranged by Lionsgate Films among fans, to spit out the biggest point in advance, so that the people behind have nothing to spit out.

He did his homework and said, "There's nothing we can do if we don't have money. We have worked hard to innovate this film and come up with new ideas and tricks. It's a B-grade film. It's like we take a ride to travel poorly. It’s delicious, but it’s actually a pauper.”

This remark caused everyone to laugh, and a woman in her mid-twenties said, "You acted very well. Your name is..."

Martin reacted very quickly and said, "I'm Martin Davis, you call me Martin."

The woman said, "Martin, those scenes of yours are so good, they will become classics in B-movies!"

Another woman wearing glasses echoed: "This film is full of thunder and rain, but you are the lightning in the rainy day, illuminating the entire night sky."

Martin danced and danced: "Thank you! Thank you!" He waved to the Lionsgate staff behind him, and waited for someone to come over, and said, "Can you find me a notebook and a pen? I want to write down all these words of encouragement."

Even though the staff were experienced, they had never encountered such a request. Fortunately, they responded quickly enough and quickly brought notebooks and pens.

Martin took it, thanked him, and handed it to the two ladies just now: "Can you do me a favor? Write me those words of encouragement. I didn't have confidence when I was shooting this film. I almost couldn't hold on to many scenes. Sometimes I I still have doubts, are the roles and plays played by people watching? Are there people who like it? My work is meaningful?"

Most of the movie fans are ordinary people. They have encountered countless similar situations in their work and life, and they will resonate to some extent.

It doesn't need much, just a little bit can infect each other.

The woman wearing glasses was the first to take the notebook and pen from Martin's hand, and scribbled down what she just said.

Martin was originally sitting on the stage, but he simply jumped off and asked, "Can you leave your name? When I see it, I can know who is encouraging me."

The woman smiled: "My name is Rachel! Martin, you did a great job, really great, I like your zombie machine gun dance very much, I like your trapeze, I will buy tickets to watch again, I will Recommend to friends, there is a good protagonist in this bad movie."

Martin said, "Thank you, Rachel, I will always remember this day."

The middle-aged bald man next to him took the pen and notebook, and said while writing: "Martin, you have performed a lot of wonderful ideas in this film, which reminds me of the glory of B-movies twenty years ago, don't doubt yourself, you have to Confidence, you are a good actor!"

Martin asked his name: "Rick, if one day I succeed, it will definitely be due to your encouragement today."

The surrounding reporters were taking pictures, and some bloggers used cameras to record the scene just now.

Compared to the bustle over Martin's side, Benjamin and Catherine's side was a little deserted.

Benjamin is the director, half of his feet are still behind the screen these days, so he has to maintain a certain style.

Before Catherine came to Los Angeles, she was just an ordinary late-night actress. Except for the temporary training from Lionsgate, no one systematically taught her how to face fans.

Seeing Martin stealing all the limelight, Catherine became anxious, the more anxious she became, the more she couldn't deal with it calmly.

On one side of the stage, Blake had been staring at Martin.

The staff who delivered the notebooks and pens came to Black and whispered: "Head, Martin Davis is asking fans to sign."

Black said: "I see, there is something in this little actor's mind." He felt that he had learned: "I didn't expect that he could also mobilize fans' emotions through reverse signatures."

The staff suddenly realized: "A leading actor on the screen asks fans for autographs and congratulations. Fans will be more fond of the leading actor and the film. The ones we recruited today are B-grade film lovers."

Black said: "You go and observe carefully, go back and compile a report for me."

The staff froze for a moment, thinking that this is not asking for trouble for themselves?

Martin easily controlled the rhythm and communicated smoothly with the fans. Although the reverse signature was a trick, it was concealed under the encouragement, and there were not many obstacles for the fans to accept.

Therefore, Martin said logically: "Guys, if the film I acted in can still be seen by the big guys, please help recommend it to friends around you."

There were chaotic responses from all around.

"no problem."

"I am the moderator of the B-grade movie forum, and I will recommend it emphatically."

Compared with Benjamin, who kept his style, and Catherine, who was slightly flustered, Martin attracted the most reporters and bloggers.

Blake came forward in person and had a little exchange with the invited reporters and bloggers, most of whom turned to Martin.

Martin invited fans: "Everyone come on stage, let's take a group photo together."

Many fans surrounded Martin on the stage.

Martin didn't forget Benjamin and Catherine, and waved to them: "Come here, let's go together."

Benjamin strode forward and bumped fists with Martin.

Catherine, a rookie actor, was mentally unbalanced, and she didn't want to be a foil for others, so she stood stubbornly where she was.

The trio, who had a harmonious relationship when they came here, had just touched the edge of Hollywood Vanity Fair, and cracks had already appeared.

Movie fans gathered behind and on both sides of Martin and Benjamin, facing the cameras of the media reporters and taking group photos.

Then there will be interviews with reporters and bloggers. When Black came over, Martin whispered something to him. Black looked at the atmosphere and nodded in agreement.

Martin completely controlled the scene, picked up the microphone, and said: "Guys, friends from the media and bloggers want to communicate with us. Everyone is tired from standing for so long. Let's sit down and chat slowly."

Instead of a chair, he sits directly on the stage.

Benjamin still wanted to eat the meal from Gray's Company, but he hesitated for a moment before sitting down as well.

All the fans around sat down and gathered around Martin, like his hardcore younger brother.

Reporters and bloggers who were supposed to be many to one, or more to three, found that the situation was not right. How did it become a dozen to face more than a hundred?

Black has never intervened. He feels that the effect of today's publicity has greatly exceeded expectations.

Catherine wobbled over and sat down beside Martin.

From movie fans to reporters to bloggers, the existence of the heroine is almost ignored.

The male protagonist is good in the movie, and even better outside the movie.

At the beginning of the reporter's questioning, it was still the usual routine of Lionsgate. The first reporter asked the biggest flaw: "Is this film too rough? I feel that you used a big frame, but told the story of what happened in a small club. short story."

Benjamin was prepared and said, "If you pull out the stance and have a super battle between the church and the vampire, it won't be a B-grade movie."

Another reporter asked: "The film uses some new concepts and novel designs, such as the flying battle between the male protagonist and the supporting actress, and the life-and-death struggle between the male and female protagonists. How did you come up with these ideas?"

Benjamin pointed to Martin: "These ideas first came from Martin."

At this moment, he thought of a sentence that Martin often said, and used it vividly: "He is the most versatile actor in Atlanta."

A female blogger asked loudly: "Martin, did you have actual combat experience in this area, so you can design those action scenes?"

Martin spread his hands and smiled: "I don't dare to use such a difficult move. Only Spiderman can play such a difficult move. Batman is also possible?"

All the questions focused on Martin, and another female reporter asked, "Did special effects be used for the zombie machine gun dance?"

Benjamin shook his head: "No, it's completely real."

There was an exclamation all around.

The female blogger suggested: "Martin, can you do a live performance?"

Martin stood up, took off his coat and handed it to Jessica who was wearing glasses. He moved his body briefly and made room for him: "Let's just say, you can't take off your clothes."

He snapped his fingers to the side, and said to the Lionsgate staff, "Let's play some music."

The explosive dance music sounded, and everyone was dumbfounded, really amazed.
