Chapter 273: Lisa
Motorola is already a behemoth, and when he liquidated Motorola stock, Simon didn't pay attention to the company anymore.
However, Nokia, which stood side by side with Motorola in the 90s, is now just a small shrimp curled up in a corner of Northern Europe, such a mobile communications company that has risen and declined rapidly, with a peak market value of more than $200 billion in the original time and space, how can you let it go!
Moreover, Cersei Capital can provide Simon with enough chips to swallow Nokia.
Thinking of Nokia, Simon wasn't too eager.
In recent years, mobile communication is still in the era of analog signals, and the era of digital signals will gradually come in two or three years, and Nokia is relying on digital mobile phones and GSM standards to begin to rise, and Simon still has enough time, which can be arranged in the second half of the European trip.
However, thinking of Nokia, Simon also made up his mind to carefully comb through his memories during his vacation after completing "Batman", so as to find more 'potential stocks' that are still in the dormant period.
Everyone went to the parking lot, and after Amy finished calling, the four of them rushed to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
At the same time, all corners of North America.
As the weekend approaches, office workers are planning their day off.
It has long been a habit to watch a movie with family and friends on the weekend as a very common pastime. What's more, it's a summer file with all kinds of blockbusters. As for the large number of student parties in the summer vacation, they don't need to arrange special time, they can enter the theater at any time.
A series of films that are being released.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark 3", a sequel that has been looking forward to for several years, is naturally the first time I have seen it;
"Bodyguard", the soundtrack record has been bought;
"Ghostbusters 2" and "Longwei Kid 3" are said to be sequel projects that Columbia Pictures hastily launched in order to boost the stock price in the acquisition negotiations with Sony.
"Honey, I Made My Child Smaller", Disney's family carnival, which is said to be good;
"The Sixth Sense", a new film that opens today, is a screenplay by Simon Westeros, starring Robert De Niro. Although I don't know exactly what I'm talking about, however, horror films, Westeros's horror film scripts have always been very good, not to mention De Niro, De Niro rarely appears in horror films, you must see it;
《......》
《......》
Daenerys Entertainment's box office performance last year was too eye-catching, and "The Sixth Sense" was created by Simon and De Niro, although the promotion of this movie seems to be a little tepid, but in order to avoid being accidentally crushed, other film companies have chosen to avoid it.
As a result, "The Sixth Sense", like "Raiders of the Lost Ark 3" and "Bodyguard", became the only new film to open this week.
Simon needless to say, De Niro has also re-established his reputation after two consecutive "Vulgar" and "Dead Poets Society". Therefore, many viewers regard "The Sixth Sense" as the first choice for weekend viewing.
Manhattan.
Lisa Collins, who has long since become a practicing lawyer and secured a job at the prestigious Skadden Law Firm, finally enters the cinema at about 9 p.m. after a busy day of work and dinner with her boyfriend.
The film I watched was naturally "The Sixth Sense".
Two years later, that trip to Park City with Jennifer has become the most special experience in Lisa Collins' mind.
During the short weekend together, Lisa Collins originally thought that the young man was amazing enough, but he didn't expect that the Sundance Film Festival was just the beginning of his fierce life.
He is now Hollywood's youngest annual box office director, has created or led a slew of blockbuster films, is able to play the stunning "Flying Bees," and became the youngest winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or, miraculously amassing billions of dollars.
Just last week, an inadvertent trip to his girlfriend nearly triggered a stock market crash in the world's second-largest economy.
Seeing that he was creating one miracle after another, although only one side, Lisa Collins became the most staunch admirer of the young man. When her best friend ran to be his assistant without hesitation, Lisa even had the same idea, but she couldn't make it because of various ties.
However, while Jenny has always maintained her attention to him, she has always been the first to support every work he creates.
Lisa Collins even had a copy of the solo piano tape called "Blizzard", Jenny said that she had missed her mouth during a phone chat, and Lisa threatened to kill and rob Los Angeles in order to get the copy of the tape, even her lover, Jenny reluctantly compromised and sent her a copy, and the result was that her admiration for him was even more.
Inside the screening room of a theater on Broadway.
Thinking about these things, feeling that her boyfriend Carl Lloyd next to her flatteringly helped her lift the popcorn bucket that was about to fall crookedly in her arms, Lisa Collins came back to her senses and smiled at the other party, but she was not very satisfied with her boyfriend who worked at Goldman Sachs.
Secretly made up his mind that if the guy next to him dared to hint at letting his father help him introduce customers, he would decisively kick it out.
Seeing that you are handsome and coaxing, you can barely be regarded as having some ability, so I can deal with it a little bit, and comfort my sister, my lonely and lonely body and mind after heavy work.
After knowing each other for less than two months, I wanted to eat the old lady's soft rice.
Ahh
The lights in the screening room dimmed, and Lisa Collins put aside the messy thoughts.
After a few short in-roll commercials, Daenerys Pictures' gorgeous undead rebirth opening animation appeared on the big screen.
Just in this opening credit, Lisa Collins found something unusual.
Daenerys Entertainment's film labels are divided into three: Daenerys Pictures is a reborn bird from the ashes and specializes in mainstream commercial films, New World Pictures is a clear sky after thunder and lightning, focusing on the thriller and horror film market, and Gaomen Pictures is a mobile film full of artistic atmosphere, responsible for the production and distribution of literary films.
If "The Sixth Sense" is just a 'horror film' promoted by Daenerys Entertainment, it should be distributed under the New World Pictures label.
Now it is the 'Immortal Bird' commercial film label owned by Daenerys Entertainment.
The opening credits end, and the plot begins directly.
The scene shifts to a large hall where a cocktail party is being held, and on the podium, an old man with gray hair is giving a speech to the effect that Dr. Malcolm Crowe, who has made great contributions to child psychology, is an honorary citizen.
In addition to De Niro, Lisa Collins feels that the actress who plays the role of Dr. Crow's wife is also somewhat familiar.
Well...... That's right, 'Eve' from Once Upon a Time in America.
This is the second time that the two have played a couple.
However, the actress is not very famous, and Lisa does not know what her name is.
On the big screen, the Crow couple are still unsatisfied when they return home, and his wife Anna is about to go to the cellar to get a bottle of red wine to celebrate, when she accidentally discovers an intruder in the house.
Dr. Crow carefully communicates with the uninvited guest under his wife's protection, and gradually learns that the other party is a mentally ill person whom he has helped to no avail. After a desperate confession, the patient shot Dr. Crowe and aimed the gun at his temple.
Gunfire rang out again.
The camera pans to Dr. Crow, who has been shot and falls to the ground, and the camera slowly zooms up as Anna cries in horror.
Immediately, the wedge ends here.
In the aimless cold color wandering street scene, accompanied by the sound of music, the main creative subtitles began to appear.
Simon made a big adjustment to the beginning of the new version of the film, changing the original opening scene of the Crow couple abruptly reading lines to a certificate of honor in order to save the budget to a lively drinking party, quickly flashing a coherent plot, and at the same time introducing the identity of the male protagonist more clearly.
The aimless wandering of San Jose's deserted streets as a wedge and the transition between the formal plot is also an elaborate metaphor that suggests the wandering of the city by the protagonist who has been reduced to a state of soul.
Of course, these details need to be savored by the audience after watching the entire film.
In the screening room, Lisa Collins, who knows nothing about the plot, does not understand this excessive metaphor, but has been aroused by the wedge at the beginning, and begins to wonder if this is a flashback film, and whether the suicide patient at Dr. Crowe's house is the psychic boy who appears in the TV trailer.
However, when the plot officially unfolds, the timeline is already a year later.
Dr. Crow sat on a bench on the side of the street and looked through a patient's information, the camera swept over the doctor's medical records, and some important information was circled.
'Cole Hill, 9 years old. ’
'My parents are divorced. ’
'Withdrawn, extremely anxious, may suffer from mood disorders. ’
Camera cuts.
On the other side of the street, the boy walked out of the house, put on his glasses, and looked cautiously from side to side, like a frightened little beast, ready to flee from predators.
Obviously, this is Cole Hill.
Dr. Crowe follows Cole to a church and begins to communicate with the boy with a wary expression. As Dr. Crowe calmed down, Cole began to relax and struck up a conversation with the doctor.
On first contact, Dr. Crow discovered that the boy spoke Latin, exhibited speculative symptoms, and had unknown scars on his arms, possibly being abused.
Immediately afterwards, the plot began to split into two, and the cold war between Dr. Crowe and his wife Anna made the audience more curious about what had happened in the past year.
The boy Cole's life is also full of strange situations from time to time.
As a veteran movie fan and a very meticulous mind, Lisa Collins was vaguely aware of something less than half an hour into the film. It wasn't until Cole uttered the line 'They didn't know they were dead' that Lisa Collins was completely sure of it.
Dr. Crow died a year ago!
Discovering this secret, Lisa Collins couldn't help but look around, in the uncertain light and shadow, some of the viewers who could be seen around were basically focused, and there was no such surprise that Lisa herself appeared because she had discovered something.
Obviously, most people are not aware of the most important foreshadowing of the film.
However, although the plot of "The Sixth Sense" is not as ups and downs as some big-budget films, the suspense that continues to spread, the interaction between the two protagonists, and the ghosts that appear around the boy from time to time all firmly attract the audience's attention, making people wonder what all this is all about, how the story will progress next, and whether the doctor can cure the boy's 'illness'.
Lisa Collins looked at her boyfriend again, and Carl noticed that she was looking at him, and immediately withdrew his gaze from the big screen, smiled at her, and said, "Very interesting movie." ”
"yes. ”
Lisa nodded, looking back at the big screen.
Even though the film's biggest secret has been released, she doesn't feel bored at all, and is equally curious about how the story will end.
On the screen, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.
Under Dr. Crow's continued guidance, Cole gradually opened his mind and learned to communicate with the ghosts around him. When he successfully helps a little girl who has been poisoned to expose her stepmother's evil deeds, Lisa in the screening room can't help but feel an indescribable excitement. Perhaps, this should be Cole's future.
In the film, after experiencing this incident, Cole finally let go of his knot completely, and took the opportunity of a car accident to confess to his mother that he could see ghosts.
Looking at the mother and son hugging and crying on the big screen, Lisa felt that her eyes were slightly wet, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook. In the screening hall, many audience members were also moved by deep and shallow expressions.
It's just that Cole's story is over, but what about Dr. Crow?
When most of the audience is still immersed in the consummation of Cole's mother and son, and even thinks that the movie is about to end, the plot turns back to Dr. Crow.
What follows should be a self-descriptive conclusion, right?
People are speculating.
Dr. Crow failed to save the young man who committed suicide, but now he has finally completed a redemption and succeeded in helping another child out of the gloom.
Maybe.
The couple should be able to release their suspicions.
Sure enough, Dr. Crowe returned home with a video of their wedding on the TV, and his wife was still calling Malcolm's name in her dreams, and she was clearly still in love with him. Now, all he had to do was wake her up, and the two of them hugged each other sweetly, and Dr. Crowe explained to his wife what he had done during this time, and the rift between husband and wife caused by the incident last year should be repaired.
At last.
Happy Ending!
Standard Hollywood-esque ending.
However.
Dr. Crow echoed Anna's whispers affectionately, and in her emotion, she finally leaned over and wanted to kiss her wife.
The wife in the dream instinctively dodged away, and between the movements, the palm of the hand she had been holding spread out, and a wedding ring fell from her hand, rolling softly towards Dr. Crowe.
His wife's wedding ring was clearly on her hand, and Dr. Crow raised his left hand tremblingly as he stared at the other ring that rolled toward him, one that should have been on his own.
Strong emotions welled up in my heart.
I don't know if it's fear, or anger.
And then.
And he saw the chill coming out of his wife's mouth.
A series of overlapping voices rushed wildly through his head, the boy's voice.
"We'll meet again, right?"
"They don't know they're dead. ”
"I can see ghosts. ”
"When they're angry, it's cold around them. ”
"Maybe we can pretend to meet again tomorrow, just pretend. ”
“......”
“......”
It turned out that he was the one who didn't know he was dead, a ghost.
