"The Redemption of Xiao Shengke" received a mediocre response when Han Mo's original world was released in theaters that year, and it was not until many years later that his value was discovered, and it was hailed as an insurmountable classic.

In the awards of Dan year, "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke" did not perform very well, because when it was released, there was also a film "Forrest Gump" at the same time, and in that era, the awards were more inclined to play films with disabilities. And people's minds at that time were also in a state of needing Forrest Gump's spirit, and they were not optimistic about realistic films, especially movies with a critical spirit of society.

Later, "The Shawshank Redemption" has achieved great success, and it also reflects the transformation of people's thinking in different periods.

The theme of the whole movie is "hope".

The main characters in Shaw Singk prison, Andy and Red, both have the word hope running through.

Andy hopes that he can live calmly in prison, when he is wronged, he knows how to fight back rationally, and when he faces rape, he can also face it with a smile.

And Red, who had just been released on parole, was very uncomfortable with life outside, and when he remembered the oak tree that Andy had told him in prison, and when he read that letter, he regained hope, and his soul really enjoyed freedom from this moment.

Han Mo changed the storyline slightly according to different historical backgrounds.

......

"Dad, can't I go to the movies with you?" Grandma said, today is the premiere of Dad's movie. The little guy looked expectant and said pitifully.

Han Mo squatted down, making himself at a height similar to the height of the little guy standing, and gently rubbed the top of the child's head.

"No, this movie is about the story of the prison, and it's not suitable for children. ”

The little guy was a little disappointed, pouting, although the child wanted to see it, but Xuanxuan was a sensible child, her father had already reasoned and made it very clear, she would not cry and ask her father for consent, and her eyes lowered to look at her fingers rubbing each other.

"Then dad will come back early, Xuanxuan is waiting for you. The little guy blinked with big cute eyes.

Han Mo pinched Xuanxuan's face and promised the child.

Han Mo gave Xu Fei the opportunity to go to the United States to attend the premiere, and he took Lu Qingyang in China.

Han Mo unanimously believes that his movies will never be able to compete with American films.

Any one of other people's movies is a well-known director, actor and actress, and he himself is a newcomer in the director industry, and the actor is even less famous, Liu Han has had an excellent performance in "Wrestling, Dad", which is not worth mentioning in the United States.

So they can only fight the story and the acting skills, so Han Mo didn't go to the United States, he felt that even if he worked hard to promote it, it would not help the movie much, and everyone would know whether the movie was popular or not.

Because of many familiar media in China, Han Mo still went through the motions and cooperated with the interview.

When the media asked, do you have the confidence to surpass "Frozen" and hit a new high at the box office.

Han Mo's answer was a bit surprising to everyone, because he was not like other directors, cheering for himself, shouting for his films, and saying some boastful words.

Han Mo's answer was only three words, "I don't know." ”

This is the truest answer in his heart.

No one knows what kind of box office and word-of-mouth "The Shawshank Redemption" will be in this world. Such a classic movie, when it was first released before, the box office was mediocre, and all the nominations were award-winning.

Although he changed slightly, the main story line has not changed, and he really doesn't know what kind of results will be achieved.

Almost at the same time, the American director was interviewed by a local reporter and asked if he was confident of surpassing the previous Han Ma Dan animated film "Frozen".

Jerry smiled slightly, and then the corners of his mouth showed a look of disdain, ""Frozen" is an animated movie, we are different genres, and there is no guarantee that it will surpass the former, but I am confident that it will surpass Han Mo's upcoming movie." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it spread rapidly on the local network in the United States, which was a blatant provocation, and no one would dare to be stupid enough to say such a thing unless they were absolutely sure.

For a while, the media and the directors association also leaned towards Jerry, coupled with the fact that Han Mo still asked Lu Qingyang to be the leading actor of the movie despite the pressure of quotations, so that Han Mo's film had lost part of its reputation before it was screened.

American movies were released a little later than in China.

Fans haven't watched it yet, but have already bought their tickets or are waiting to get in.

"I'm looking forward to 'The Shaw Redemption', but I'm also a little worried. ”

"Prison-themed movies, I don't know what theme to reflect. ”

"If it weren't for the previous Frozen, I wouldn't have watched this movie at all. ”

Jerry said that his movie would definitely beat Han Mo's one. ”

"It's hard to say, we'll see it later. ”

Almost at the same time, the world was released simultaneously, and there were differences in the timing of each country.

Compared with movies from other countries, Han Mo's film is much inferior in publicity, and it hardly does anything in the public eye except for necessary publicity.

It's such a film that after the first film screening in each country, all the audience fell into thought.

"Life can come down to a simple choice: either be busy surviving or rush to die. ”

"Important things are often the hardest to talk about, because words diminish their importance, and it's not easy to get people who don't know how to care about the good things in your life. ”

"You know, there are birds that are not destined to be kept in cages, and every feather of them shines with the light of freedom. ”

The classic lines in the film echo in people's minds.

On the Internet, professional film critics at home and abroad have made the most objective and fair evaluation of "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke" after watching the first screening.

"One of the hardest films of all time to beat. ”

This evaluation is very high for a movie that has just been released for one day.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was screened in various theaters, and Han Mo didn't pay attention to it anymore.

He kept his promise to the little one and returned home early.

Although her father didn't let her watch the movie, the little guy was still very interested in the movie, and it turns out that the more you don't want others to know, the more people will want to know.

That's how the little guy is feeling now.

The little guy leaned up to his dad and said, "Dad, what is this movie about?" ”

"It's a movie about hope. Han Mo hooked his fingers and swept the child's nose dotingly.

Xuanxuan's big watery eyes widened, with an excited face, "Wow, Xuanxuan is also hopeful." ”

"What is Xuanxuan's hope?" Han Mo asked with some curiosity.

The little guy raised his little chin, a little proud, "Xuanxuan's hope is that she can go to a good school in the future." ”
