Chapter 316 Declaring War on the Trio
With the release of the main poster of "The Departed", the movie has officially started its release promotion.
In this poster, Leonardo, Martin and Nicholson stand out as three pillars.
The competition for the position was not very fierce, and the crew handled it very reasonably.
Leonardo is on the far left of the poster, and his portrait is also the largest, showing his rank.
Martin stands on the far right, and his bust is one-fifth smaller than Leonardo.
Nicholson is as big as Martin, but he is behind the two protagonists. After all, he is a supporting character.
The two-minute official trailer was also played repeatedly on major TV stations across the United States, and a version with a lot of swear words appeared on the Internet.
Martin's personal blog and the official website of the CocCola Gods have announced the specific release time of the film in major cities across the United States.
On the website of Coke God, there is also a trailer of Martin's version of his personal character, which reproduces the classic picture of a headshot with a bottle of Coke.
The Colin he played faced a criminal attack and grabbed the Coke at hand to fight back.
CocCola's multi-million-dollar sponsorship did not come for nothing to the crew.
Martin, Leonardo, Nicholson and Scorsese are divided into four groups and frequently attend various promotional activities.
Sometimes they gather together to cheer for the film together.
In October when there are no heavyweight films released, "The Departed" is undoubtedly the only one.
In mid-September, the crew and creative staff left for Toronto.
The Toronto Film Festival is different from European film festivals in that it does not have official awards and is closer to a platform for film screening, promotion and trading.
Due to geographical factors, in the eyes of many American movie fans, this is the largest international film festival in the world.
The world premiere of "The Departed" was held during the film festival.
At the bar of the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, Martin took the drink from the bartender, raised it to Nicholson, and said, "Do we have a tacit understanding?"
The two of them just discussed doing something special next year.
Nicholson sneered: "I will participate in such a fun thing even if you don't ask me."
Leonardo clinked glasses with Martin: "You are really an expert at **** up."
The three of them had a drink together. Martin pointed to the TV hanging from the ceiling: "Look, our director's interview."
Martin Scorsese gave an interview to NBC this morning and was in the news this afternoon.
Most of the content is for publicity purposes, and there is a paragraph related to the Bastard Trio.
The reporter asked: "Some media reported that during the filming, the three main actors Martin Davis, Leonardo and Jack Nicholson formed a trio. Did this organization play a role in the filming? The role of positive promotion?”
Scorsese's expression was quite strange: "They formed a very strange organization, which really helped them establish a tacit understanding between each other, but most of the time they were causing trouble on the set, which was a headache."
Martin was quite innocent and asked his two companions: "We didn't cause trouble on the set, did we?"
Nicholson and Leonardo shook their heads at the same time: "Absolutely not!"
On TV, Scorsese said again: "Sometimes, I don't agree with their views on the characters. They are as stubborn as cattle. It takes me a lot of time to convince them and reach an agreement."
He said emphatically: "When the three of them are causing trouble, I think it's better to use the three of them's salary to hire a few cows for filming."
The TV interview ends here.
Leonardo asked: "Are we as stubborn as cattle?" He spread his hands: "Are we worse than cattle?"
Martin said seriously: "Excellent actors must have unique insights into their roles."
"This guy Scorsese is declaring war on our trio!" As the leader of the trio, Nicholson consciously rushed to the front when he was about to cause trouble: "Leo, Martin, we have messed with many people, this Why not engage in Scorsese?”
Leonardo thought about it and said: "Director Scorsese is old and his body is incomparable to yours. It must be within the range that he can bear."
Martin looked like he was thinking about it seriously.
Nicholson asked: "You have a lot of bad ideas, come up with a solution quickly. The trio has been attacked by the director and must respond!"
He has been an old friend with Scorsese for decades and knows it well: "We are going to make Scorsese pay the price."
"You two bastards, listen to me!" Martin gradually came up with an idea: "This is what I'm thinking about. As the most trouble-making trio in Hollywood, we must not only respond to the director's remarks, but also create eye-catching effects. Breaking some news will help the crew promote it, so that the crew can reimburse us for any expenses incurred. "
Nicholson said to Leonardo: "Look, he has the most bad ideas."
Martin asked: "It's my first time coming to Toronto and I'm not very familiar with it. Do you two know any ranchers?"
Leonardo said: "I have people I know, money and friends."
Nicholson said disdainfully: "They are not real friends, they are after your money."
Martin poured wine for the two of them: "We are true friends."
Leonardo deliberately put on a vigilant look: "What are you planning on me?"
Martin patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely not plot against your ass." "Wait!" Nicholson raised his hand to interrupt the **** words of the two bad people: "You are off topic."
Leonardo returned to the subject: "What do you want to do?"
Martin said: "It's very simple. The premiere is coming soon. Do we want to give Director Scorsese a big gift at the premiere?"
Nicholson laughed: "What a great idea!"
"I agree!" Leonardo thought more: "Martin, is this a publicity plan you conspired with the crew?"
Martin neither admitted nor denied, but just said: "Aren't we known as the strongest threesome? Since we want to cause trouble, we must create sensational hot events. Those small fights are boring."
Leonardo suddenly remembered something: "After Jack and I left Pinewood Studios, I heard that Emma Watson was blown up by firecrackers in the toilet and peed her pants. Was it you?"
“How could I bully a little girl?” Martin thought he was the most qualified among the trio: “I swear, I didn't do it.”
Leonardo took out his mobile phone, made a few calls, and urged Martin and Nicholson: "Let's go! Let's go to the suburbs. There is a big ranch over there. The ranch owner is the cousin of one of my exes."
Martin followed him out and said to Nicholson: "Having more ex-girlfriends brings a lot of benefits!"
On the same day, news of Scorsese's TV interview spread quickly. Although he obviously used a joking tone in the interview, the gossip media didn't care about it. The entertainment media, which had no contradiction but fabricated contradictions out of thin air, immediately started the hype mode.
“The crew of The Departed is at odds, and the director and the lead actor are in conflict!”
“Scorsese criticized the three leading actors for not acting well enough!”
“Shocked! The three big stars in Hollywood are not as good as cows...”
However, the TMZ website, which was just established last year, went against all kinds of gossip paper media and published a number of photos in a prominent position on the homepage of the website.
It's all related to the crew of “The Departed”. Whether in public or in private, the relationship between the trio and Martin Scorsese is very harmonious, and no contradiction can be seen.
ˆˆTMZ is gradually showing how it is different from general gossip media.
Some people even call it the Internet version of The Sun.
The parties involved did not come forward to speak until the premiere of "The Departed".
The Ryerson Theater in Toronto is the main venue of the film festival, and the premiere of the film is held here.
Because from the director to the leading actor, the crew gathered list directors and superstars, and because of the so-called contradictory reports before, a large number of media reporters gathered at the premiere.
Hundreds of people crowded the media area.
Movie fans who came to the film festival also listed this gangster film as their first choice for viewing at the film festival, and the red carpet was tightly packed on both sides.
Congregants of the Toronto Diocese of the CocCola Church hung up posters of their leader early, waiting for Martin to walk on the red carpet and participate in a famous scene that has spread around the world - drinking CocCola together.
Director Martin Scorsese is here. This great director is smiling and is completely unaffected by media reports.
The heroine Vera Farmiga has also arrived. As the only heavyweight female face in the main creative lineup, she has also attracted great attention.
Matt Damon, who has been absent from almost all promotional activities, came from London, England to attend the premiere. He was very low-key and walked the red carpet as a routine. He neither communicated with fans nor declined media interviews.
When the film's promotion plan was being formulated, Matt Damon communicated with the crew and wanted to use the role of Ding Konan to compete for the Oscar for Supporting Actor, but was rejected by the crew because the candidate recommended by the crew was Martin Davis.
One of the two protagonists competes for the Best Supporting Actor nomination, and Matt Damon's role can only be given up.
Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Jodie Foster, who came to cheer, also walked the red carpet.
Fans and media reporters at the scene discovered that the three leading actors of the film have not appeared yet.
“No way, is there really a contradiction?”
“Aren't they going to attend the premiere?”
The media area was buzzing with discussions and was about to explode.
On the red-carpeted platform in front of the theater, Robert De Niro approached Scorsese, who was very familiar with Martin and Leonardo, and asked, "No way, are you really in conflict with them?"
Scorsese just laughs.
Robert De Niro felt something was wrong: "Although Martin loves to cause trouble, he is a smooth and sociable person, let alone Leo..."
Suddenly, a truck horn sounded, and a van spray-painted with posters of the three male protagonists of "The Departed" drove over from a distance.
Whether it's movie fans or reporters, everyone's eyes are focused there.
The van stopped in front of the red carpet. Martin, who was driving, got out of the driver's seat first, followed by Leonardo and Nicholson on the other side.
The three of them came to the back of the car and opened the back door of the cargo compartment. An iron plate automatically slid down, creating a **** between the compartment and the road.
Martin entered the carriage and pulled a cow out of it!
The whole place was in an uproar!
