Chapter 300: Celebrated on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

July 6th, a sunny day.

Although it is midsummer, the sea breeze blowing from the Pacific Ocean takes away the heat and brings fresh air, which is helpful for health.

The sidewalk stretching between Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles is Hollywood's famous Walk of Fame, which is bustling with activity at this time.

Many entertainment media and movie fans gathered here, waiting for an important moment.

Today, little Gilbert's name will be engraved on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and he will become a member of the Hollywood Hall of Fame.

In fact, with little Gilbert's qualifications, he is already enough to leave his own star and signature on the Walk of Fame. However, due to various reasons, he was delayed in leaving his name on the Avenue of Stars.

This time to coincide with the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", at two o'clock in the afternoon, little Gilbert first left his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before heading to the Chinese Theater for the premiere.

ABC TV station broadcast the entire Star Receiving Ceremony live on the Avenue of Stars. The scene was a sea of ​​people, crowded around the Avenue of Stars.

But what was slightly discordant was that some "Lord of the Rings" fans also came holding protest signs. Because they were blocked by movie fans, they had to protest and shout slogans outside.

At this time, the host of the star-receiving ceremony and the manager of the Hollywood Historical Trust came up to greet little Gilbert, shook hands with him, and invited him to come to his star.

There was no Little Gilbert movie in the summer last year, which made all movie fans feel like something was missing. This time Little Gilbert returns to the summer season again, and movie fans are already bursting with excitement.

Of course, different positions mean different perspectives.

Naturally, there is also indispensable opposition from peripheral "Lord of the Rings" fans.

To this day, the films directed by Gilbert Jr. have grossed more than 6 billion U.S. dollars at the box office, won several Oscars, and won an Oscar for Best Director.

Everyone looked toward the end of the Avenue of Stars. A Rolls-Royce stopped, and a tall man wearing a black suit came out of the car. It was their beloved little director Gilbert.

The host began to introduce: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

But their protests were ignored, and other studios would not support these protesters if there was no conflict of interest.

There was very enthusiastic applause, cheers, screams, and opposition from peripheral "Lord of the Rings" fans.

Today, director Gilbert Jr. will leave his name on the Avenue of Stars with his new work "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring." "

"Speed", "The Island", "Saving Private Ryan", "The Matrix", "Chicago" and other movies are his masterpieces.

After the applause stopped, the host continued: "Director Gilbert Jr.'s contribution to the globalization of Hollywood movies is undoubted. To this day, he has become a symbol of Hollywood.

This idea is quite strange. Regardless of how good the film was, fans of the book actually hope that the film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" will fail, in order to save the literary novel "The Lord of the Rings".

I don't know who shouted: "Coming, coming, coming..."

Today we will hold a star-receiving ceremony. The famous director Gilbert Landrini finally left his star and name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame forever today. "

All of us movie fans love his movies, his unconstrained imagination, his unlimited imagination, and even more, he continues to bring new works.

In fact, little Gilbert couldn't understand these people. Protests were useless. The film was about to have its premiere. How could the film company back down at this time?
But protesting book fans believe that their beloved literary masterpiece can be saved by letting "The Lord of the Rings" fail at the box office, thereby allowing "The Lord of the Rings" to escape the clutches of Hollywood.

As everyone knows, success can save the novel "The Lord of the Rings", and their interference will only harm "The Lord of the Rings".

But today's protagonists are not them. Even the trouble-provoking media didn't pay much attention to them. Everyone was waiting for the appearance of a man at the end of the Avenue of Stars.

At this time, there are obstructions on the stars, which requires a star-picking ceremony.

After hearing the latter sentence, the fans reacted even more intensely. They have been looking forward to this movie for too long.

So the protest is entirely the insistence of the "Lord of the Rings" Fans Association. Maybe even the fans are confused about what they are protesting about.

Because it doesn't work at all, people don't even take them seriously.

After a lot of nonsense, and with the attention of thousands of fans and countless cameras and cameras in the audience, Gilbert Jr. and representatives of the Hollywood Historical Trust completed the star-receiving ceremony and officially left his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In fact, in terms of little Gilbert's status, he can leave his name on the Avenue of Stars, which is to give the Avenue of Stars face, otherwise he can completely ignore the Avenue of Stars.

However, for the promotion of the movie, little Gilbert still came.

Little Gilbert also took the time to observe his own star. The star was made entirely of terrazzo, in the shape of a five-pointed star, and was still pink.

The entire star was inlaid with bronze and then embedded in a dark gray square.

His name is engraved in bronze on a pink star, with a camera logo underneath to represent his contribution to the film industry. Of course, not only people from the film industry can leave their names on the Avenue of Stars, but also people from the television industry, record industry, radio industry, live theater and other related industries can leave their names here.

After the star-picking ceremony on the Walk of Fame, little Gilbert set off again to the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, where there was another activity waiting for him, which was to leave handprints and footprints.

Many people mistakenly think that the Hollywood Walk of Fame is a place where handprints and footprints are left, but it is not.

The Avenue of Stars is a place to leave your own stars, and only the China Grand Theater is a place to leave your handprints and footprints.

The handprint and footprint activities at the China Grand Theater are much earlier than the star-picking ceremony on the Avenue of Stars.

The Chinese Theater was founded by founder Grauman in 1927. It is a landmark building in Hollywood and has hosted several Oscar Awards.

The premieres of summer commercial blockbusters are usually held at the Chinese Grand Theater if conditions permit.

The ritual of leaving fingerprints was an accident.

At that time, silent film star Norma Talmadge accidentally stepped on the wet cement, leaving footprints that prompted Grauman, the then owner of the Chinese Theater, to see a business opportunity.

Stars including Norma Talmadge were asked to leave their mark, which attracted the attention of the industry and became a special event at the Chinese Theater and preserved as a tradition.

To this day, the handprints and footprints of Hollywood stars from Marilyn Monroe to Sylvester Stallone remain here.

However, the handprints and footprints here are more of an operational behavior of the theater and are not as authoritative as the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This can be seen from the Chinese actors and stars. So far, only two people have been named on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One is the Chinese movie star Huang Liushuang, and the other is the famous kung fu superstar Bruce Lee.

Cheng Long and Li Lianlian also have a good chance of leaving stars and names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but it is quite difficult for other Chinese stars.

Nowadays, there are not many Chinese people who have the handprints and footprints at the entrance of the Chinese Grand Theater, but little Gilbert knows a little bit about it, and knows that later a certain Yanzi, Huang Xiaoming, Feng Dapao, Gao Xixi and others could leave their handprints and footprints.

It's not that little Gilbert despises and looks down on these people, but he feels that the presence of these people's handprints and footprints here has reduced the value of the handprints and footprints.

This is not to say that they are not good, but that their contribution to the entertainment and cultural industry is not enough and they are not qualified to be placed with those famous people.

Of course, they are indeed not put together, because these handprints and footprints are all at the side entrance of the theater affiliated with the China Grand Theater.

Little Gilbert's handprints and footprints are at the main entrance of the Chinese Grand Theater. The difference in this place is also the difference in identity and status.

When we arrived at the Chinese Grand Theatre, a set of templates was also prepared, waiting for little Gilbert to leave his handprints and footprints.

The entire process was broadcast live, and after repeating the process on the Walk of Fame, little Gilbert left his handprints and footprints, officially leaving his name on two landmark buildings in Hollywood.

Although he doesn't use these face-saving forms, little Gilbert's name is destined to be written in Hollywood history.

But after you stay, people will have one less reason to make excuses later on. Moreover, this live show was seen by many North American viewers.

The repeatedly mentioned "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" also deepened the audience's impression and did a good publicity job.

After the ceremony of reaching for stars and leaving fingerprints, the premiere of "Lord of the Rings" officially began.

At this time, the Chinese Theater in Hollywood was already crowded, with more than tens of thousands of movie fans gathered at the scene. Many celebrity guests and related practitioners, and well-known directors walked on the red carpet.

Fans counted them one by one, and there were dozens of people who could just name them, which shows how powerful the guest lineup at the premiere was.

After the activities at the Walk of Fame and the Chinese Theater in the afternoon, the enthusiasm of movie fans was completely aroused. The sound at the scene was like watching a Michael Jackson concert.

But in fact, these movie fans are here just to meet their summer king, Little Gilbert.

Inevitably, as these movie fans cheered, there were thousands of "Lord of the Rings" fans holding signs and watching the slogans in protest.

The protesters occupied the red carpet, but were quickly driven out by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department riot police with shields and sticks.

Little Gilbert has a good relationship with the Los Angeles County Police Department, and he pays a lot of sponsorship money every year. Even though he is busy, the police department is still happy to help.

However, this failed to frighten these enthusiastic book fans, who continued to protest relentlessly.

Amidst the sounds of welcome and protest, the sun in the west finally disappeared from the skyline, and all the main creators of "Lord of the Rings" walked on the red carpet.

The big ship "Lord of the Rings" set sail in this not-so-relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
