At the Fox Theater in Westwood District, Los Angeles, the red carpet was spread on the sidewalk, and movie fans who were arriving one after another gathered on both sides of the barrier.
Emily and Jessica had free tickets from Martin in their hands and ran over in the middle of the afternoon.
They were thoughtful enough to bring Martin's character poster.
The number of fans at the scene was unexpectedly large, and most of them had Paris Hilton character posters in their hands.
The poster of the wax corpse.
Very popular and a big seller.
They also brought various signs insulting and criticizing Paris.
Both sides of the red carpet were almost occupied by Paris's fan base.
Fans of heroine Eliza Cuthbert could only huddle in a corner near the media area.
Jessica was tall and pointed to the other side of the media area: "There are people over there holding posters of Martin."
Emily pulled her over there: "Let's go take a look."
On the left side of the media area, there were more than 20 young men and women gathered. The leader was a young woman wearing glasses. She was distributing posters to everyone.
Seeing the two girls holding Martin posters, Rachel waved: "Come over here, we are all here!"
Emily was curious, entered the crowd, and asked: "Are you all Martin's supporters?"
A big boy with freckles answered: "Yeah, zombie gigolo, it's so cool. I've always wanted to practice the machine gun dance."
Jessica has met many people who want to practice this dance: "Most people can't achieve that kind of effect."
Several people around him echoed: "It's too difficult."
Rachel asked at this time: "You signed up through the blog?"
Emily shook her head: "We came here ourselves."
Rachel quickly said: "We made an appointment through Martin's blog. If you like Martin, you can follow his blog. There is a special fan section on it. We will notify you in advance of any events."
Jessica was surprised: "I didn't expect Martin to have so many supporters."
Rachel still remembers her first meeting with Martin: "Martin is a great actor and a very nice person."
Phoebe next to her reminded: "Look, a car is coming."
People on both sides of the red carpet were very excited. The person who got out of the car was actually Eliza Cuthbert. This summer's actress next door attracted a lot of attention.
The screams started.
Bruce drove a black Cadillac from a distance.
In the back seat, Martin flipped through his notebook.
Bruce said: "If you worked so hard in middle school, you would have been admitted to an Ivy League school long ago."
"A natural scumbag will never pass the exam." Martin was also a genuine scumbag in his previous life: "I am self-aware, and I am not the type to study."
Bruce understood: "Talent is all about screwing up."
Martin was too lazy to pay attention to him and memorized the words in his notebook.
This is the congratulations several fans wrote to him at his first fan meeting.
At that time, I had a lot of fun signing reverse signs and could easily control the rhythm of the entire meeting, but it was a bit difficult to remember the Zhu Yu.
Rachel, who had seen him on the Saturn Awards red carpet, posted on his blog that he called on supporters to come and cheer him on at the premiere.
Martin took it seriously, and if several others came, he would always express that he had not forgotten them.
After reading it over carefully, he closed the notebook and vowed never to play like this again.
The Cadillac stopped in front of the red carpet. Martin opened the door and got out. The moment the flashlight came on, he was already smiling and waving.
Unlike before, "House of Wax" was promoted on a large scale, and reporters all recognized Martin as the film's male lead.
Martin paused in front of the red carpet for a while, waiting for reporters to take photos, and then walked towards the theater door, where all he could see were wax posters of Paris's character.
Judging from the premiere, the publicity was very good.
Martin waved to both sides frequently, and soon saw the group of fans supporting him, and strode over.
When Rachel saw Martin, she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs: "Martin! Martin..."
Everyone around them shouted, even Emily and Jessica were shouting at the top of their lungs. The voices of more than 30 people temporarily overwhelmed the hundreds of people present.
Martin came to the guardrail where they were: "Hi, Rachel."
Then he nodded to Emily and Jessica and greeted everyone: "Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming to support me."
Rachel handed over a signature pen and took the poster.
Martin had just reviewed it, picked up a brush and wrote: "You are the lightning in the rainy day, lighting up the entire night sky."
Rachel covered her mouth happily, tears welling up in her eyes, not knowing what to say.
Martin hugged her gently: "Come on, Rachel."
He then signed autographs for other fans.
It was the first time Phoebe saw Martin in person, and she kept mumbling to herself: "He is so handsome, handsome and stylish, he is my male idol."
Emily and Jessica are neighbors with Martin and see him often.
Unlike Martin, who has an easy-going personality in life, after putting on a formal suit, his whole person shines, with an aura that is both friendly and dignified.
These two different temperaments were perfectly blended by him.
The sound at the front of the red carpet became louder again, and another person came over.
Martin turned around and saw an old acquaintance - Kate Winslet.
It must have been invited by Louise.
After Martin signed, Kate also walked over, stopping to wait for him, and then entered the media area together.
A reporter immediately came over to interview: "Kate, are you familiar with Martin?"
Kate looked at Martin and smiled, then turned around and said, "I met Martin when I went to Atlanta to shoot a movie. Didn't you notice that Martin appeared in my movie?"
Most reporters have seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" but have no impression of Martin.
Martin had already seen it. In that film, there were only four frontal shots of him, only one line of dialogue left, and the total appearance time was only more than 20 seconds.
The reporter asked Martin about Kate again.
Martin praised Kate: "There is no doubt that I will always be a fan of Kate. Ruth will always be the goddess in my heart, and so will Kate."
The two stood in front of the advertising background board and cooperated with reporters to take photos.
Afterwards, we entered the theater together.
Louise came out of the lounge at this time, greeted the two of them, and came to Kate: "You came back from other places specifically."
"I'm not coming back specifically. The Toronto Film Festival is over." Kate smiled and said, "You are an investor and producer. If I don't please you, I won't have any roles in the future."
Martin followed the two men towards the cinema.
Kate said: "Award season has begun and I'm preparing to hold a party and will send you invitations then."
Martin responded: "You need to introduce some British directors and producers to me."
"No problem." Kate winked at Louise and said to Martin: "I can also introduce you to some British actresses."
Louise looked back at Martin: "British rose."
Martin just laughed and asked, "Has the awards season officially begun?"
Kate simply said: "In a narrow sense, it starts in December, but in a broad sense, it starts from the Toronto Film Festival in September."
The three of them entered the cinema together, and Martin went to sit in the front row.
Director Zomi has arrived.
The two chatted for a while, and Mene also entered the theater and sat next to Martin. He was a little excited: "Boss, you don't know, when I walked on the red carpet, the fans on both sides shouted my name. It felt so good. ”
"You're a celebrity now, you have to do it in style," Martin said.
Mene licked her face and said, "I didn't expect that just like Paris... I would get so much in the end. I am a celebrity too!"
Eliza, who was wearing a red dress, came over and greeted the crew next to her.
Coming to Martin, he smiled and nodded.
Martin also smiled and nodded, and neither of them spoke.
Guests, audiences and media reporters arrived one after another. Susan and Zomi took the crew and creative staff to the small stage in front of the curtain. After a short group photo and speeches, the film began to show.
This is a traditional American horror film, but the method of killing has changed from knives, axes and chainsaws to wax.
The crew also made certain innovations, such as the stunt of twins fighting twins.
The wax figure artist and his conjoined twin brother in the film are twins, and the heroine and supporting actor who kill them are also twins.
Maybe Zomi did it intentionally, or maybe Paris was born with it, and her character in the film was bitchy when she appeared.
The first climax for ordinary viewers occurs when the two characters of Paris and Mene interact intimately.
Even sitting in the front row, Martin heard curse after curse.
Originally, Paris's reputation was very poor after the video. After the storm of publicity and hype during this period, Paris's reputation as a wealthy slut bottomed out faster than Martin's previous life.
Because the first protagonist is Eliza, Martin's role can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
But Zomi, Susan, and the editors knew how to appeal to female audiences outside of the horror genre.
Whenever Martin appears in the camera, he always looks tall, cool and handsome.
In the auditorium, Phoebe, who followed Rachel, had a look on her face full of infatuation: "This is my boyfriend!"
Rachel nodded repeatedly: "He is good-looking, has good acting skills, and has a good personality. Our Martin will become famous very soon!"
But Jessica added: "I think the real person is better looking."
Everyone around agreed.
Emily reminded: "Martin also starred in a horror film. He is the absolute leading actor. It may be released next year."
The theater suddenly erupted in cheers.
Everyone stopped talking and went to watch the movie in peace.
It turns out that Paris Hilton encountered a murderer.
The part that many people have been waiting for has finally arrived.
Paris is being chased by a murderer.
I don't know who it was, but suddenly shouted: "Kill her! Kill her..."
There were scattered responses.
A person who can torture himself to the point of being disgusted by gods and ghosts is also a very powerful talent.
Let’s just say that Paris, who was born into the Hilton family, has such a talent. How can ordinary people have it?
Perhaps "Horror House of Waxwork" can set a record for audience expectations in the history of horror films.
There has never been such a character, and the audience watched her being tortured by a murderer so eagerly.
Therefore, the cinema ushered in the real climax of the night.
When Paris had her ankle ligaments cut off by an ogre and was caught in a wax museum spraying wax into a statue, the audience burst into applause.
The audience was bombarded by the news media, oppressed by the Paris scandal, and vented their frustrations freely.
Some people died, but not completely...
