American fame and fortune

With the announcement of the main poster of "The Departed", the movie officially opened its release promotion.

On this poster, Leonardo, Martin and Nicholson are three pillars.

The competition for the position was not very fierce, and the crew handled it reasonably.

Leonardo is on the far left of the poster, and his portrait is also the largest, showing the position of the first brother.

Martin stands on the far right, a bust one-fifth smaller than Leonardo.

Nicholson's whole body is as big as Martin's, but he is behind the two protagonists. After all, he is a supporting role.

The two-minute official trailer was also played on a loop by major TV stations across the United States, and a version full of swear words appeared on the Internet.

On Martin's personal blog and the official website of the Coke Theology, the specific time of the film's release in major cities across the United States was announced early.

On the website of the God of Cola, there is also a preview of Martin's version of the personal character, which reproduces the classic picture of bottled Coke headshot.

Colin, played by him, faced the attack of criminals and grabbed the Coke in hand to fight back.

Coca-Cola's sponsorship of several million dollars is not for nothing.

Martin, Leonardo, Nicholson and Scorsese split into four groups and frequently attended various promotional activities.

Sometimes they will gather in one place to cheer for the film together.

In October, when no heavyweight film was released, "The Departed" is undoubtedly the only one.

In mid-September, the main creative staff of the crew went to Toronto.

Unlike European film festivals, the Toronto Film Festival has no official awards and is closer to a platform for film screenings, publicity and transactions.

Because of geographical factors, in the eyes of quite a few American fans, this is the world's largest international film festival.

The world premiere of "The Departed" was chosen during the film festival.

In the bar of the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, Martin took the drink from the bartender, raised his hand to Nicholson, and said, "We have reached a tacit agreement?"

The two of them discussed just now that they would have a big fight on a certain matter next year.

Nicholson sneered: "It's such a fun event, I'll take part in it even if you don't ask me to."

Leonardo clinked glasses with Martin: "You are an expert in messing things up."

The three had a drink together, and Martin pointed to the TV hanging from the ceiling: "Look, our director's interview."

Martin Scorsese was interviewed by NBC this morning and appeared on the news this afternoon.

Most of the content is for publicity purposes, and there is a section related to the asshole trio.

The reporter asked: "It was reported by the media that during the filming, the three main actors of the film crew, 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 is quite weird: "They set up a very strange organization, which really helps them build a tacit understanding with each other, but more often they are in the crew to make troubles, which is a headache."

Martin was quite innocent, and asked the two companions: "We didn't make trouble on the set, did we?"

Nicholson and Leonardo shook their heads at the same time: "Absolutely not!"

On TV, Scorsese said: "Sometimes, I don't agree with them on the role. They are as stubborn as cattle. It takes me a lot of time to convince them and reach a consensus."

He said emphatically: "And when the three of them are making trouble, I think it's better to use the salary of the three of them to hire a few cows to shoot."

The TV interview ends here.

Leonardo asked: "Are we as stubborn as a cow?" He spread his hands: "We are not as good as a cow?"

Martin said solemnly: "Excellent actors must have unique insights into roles."

"Scorsese is declaring war on our trio!" Nicholson, as the leader of the trio, rushed to the forefront when he was about to make trouble: "Leo, Martin, we have dealt with many people, this Don't want to mess with Scorsese?"

Leonardo thought about it and said: "Director Scorsese is old, and his body is incomparable with yours. It must be within the range he can bear."

Martin looked like he was thinking about it seriously.

Nicholson asked: "You have a lot of bad ideas, so come up with a good solution. The trio has been attacked by the director and must respond!"

He and Scorsese's old friend for decades knew it well: "We will make Scorsese pay the price."

"You two bastards, listen to me!" Martin gradually had an idea: "This is how I think about it. As the most troublesome trio in Hollywood, we should not only respond to the director's remarks, but also create eyeball effects. Breaking news is good for the crew to promote, so that the crew can reimburse us for the cost of making troubles."

Nicholson said to Leonardo: "Look, he has the most bad ideas."

Martin asked, "It's my first time in Toronto, and I'm not very familiar with this place. Do you two know any ranchers?"

Leonardo said: "I have people I know, people who are rich and people who are friends."

Nicholson said disdainfully: "They are not real friends, they are plotting for your money."

Martin poured wine for the two: "We are true friends."

Leonardo put on a vigilant look on purpose: "What are you plotting against me?"

Martin patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will never plot against your ass."

"Wait!" Nicholson raised his hand to interrupt the bastard talk of the two rotten people: "You are digressing."

Leonardo returned to the subject: "What do you want to do?"

Martin said: "It's very simple. The premiere is coming soon. Shall we give Director Scorsese a big gift at the premiere?"

Nicholson laughed: "Good idea!"

"I agree!" Leonardo thought more: "Martin, is this a publicity plan conspired by you and the crew?"

Martin neither admitted nor denied, but only said: "Aren't we the so-called strongest trio? Since we want to make troubles, we must create sensational and hot events. Those small fights are meaningless."

Leonardo suddenly remembered something: "After Jack and I left Pinewood Studios, I heard that Emma Watson was blown up with firecrackers in the toilet and peed her pants. Did you do it?"

"How could I bully a little girl?" Martin thought he had the highest quality 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 a cousin of my ex."

Martin followed him out, and said to Nicholson, "Having more ex-girlfriends has a lot of benefits!"

That day, the 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. There were no contradictions, but the entertainment media fabricated contradictions out of thin air, and immediately started the hype mode.

"The crew of The Departed Walker is at odds, and the director and the lead actor have many conflicts!"

"Scorsese slammed the three leading actors for not being as good as a cow!"

"Shocked! The three big stars in Hollywood are not as good as cattle..."

But on the TMZ website, which was just established last year, it sang against all kinds of gossip media, and published many photos in a prominent position on the homepage of the website.

It's all related to the Departed Walker crew. Whether in public or privately, the relationship between the bastard trio and Martin Scorsese is very harmonious, and there is no contradiction.

TMZ is gradually showing that it is different from the general gossip media.

Some even call it the Internet's version of The Sun.

Both parties have not come forward to speak, until the premiere of "The Departed".

The Ryerson Theater in Toronto is the main venue of the festival, where the premiere of the film is held.

Because from the director to the leading actor, the crew gathered first-line directors and superstars, and there were so-called contradictory reports before, a large number of media reporters gathered at the premiere scene.

Hundreds of people packed the media area to the brim.

Fans who came to the film festival also listed this gangster film as the first choice for viewing at the film festival, and the red carpet was tightly blocked on both sides.

The congregants of the Coca-Cola Church in the Toronto Diocese hung up the posters of the leader early, waiting for Martin to walk on the red carpet and participate in the famous scene that has spread all over the world-drinking Coca-Cola together.

Here comes director Martin Scorsese, a great director with a smile on his face, completely unaffected by media reports.

The heroine, Vera Farmiga, is also here. As the only heavyweight female face in the main creative lineup, she has also attracted great attention.

Matt Damon, who was absent from almost all promotional activities, rushed over from London, England to attend the premiere. He was very low-key, walking the red carpet routinely, neither communicating with fans nor declining media interviews.

When the film was making a publicity plan, Matt Damon communicated with the crew and wanted to use the role of Ding Genan to hit the Oscar supporting actor, but was rejected by the crew because the candidate proposed by the crew was Martin Davis.

One of the two protagonists is competing 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 found that the three leading actors of the film have not shown up for a long time.

"No way, is there really a contradiction?"

"Aren't they at the premiere?"

There was a lot of discussion in the media area, and it was about to explode.

On the red-carpeted platform in front of the theater, Robert De Niro approached Scorsese, who knew Martin and Leonardo very well, and said, "No way, are you really in conflict with them?"

Scorsese just laughed.

Robert De Niro felt wrong: "Although Martin likes to make troubles, he is a smooth and sociable person, let alone Leo..."

Suddenly, the horn of the truck sounded, and a van painted with posters of the three male protagonists of "The Departed" drove over from a distance.

Regardless of movie fans or reporters, everyone's eyes were on that side.

The van stopped in front of the red carpet. Martin, who was driving, got off the driver's seat first, and Leonardo and Nicholson got off 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 slope between the compartment and the road.

Martin got into the carriage and pulled a cow out!

The audience was in an uproar!
