Chapter 39: Sensational

End of the movie!

Audiences poured out of the screening room.

Except for a few people who are more normal.

Most of the audience members were weak in their hands and feet, and even a dozen or so people needed help to walk.

"Jim, you've found out all the scary movies you've ever made!" said a boy, clinging to a tree on the side of the road, patting his chest.

"Don't say anything nice, come to something affordable, I'll get it for a week's food!" Europeans and Americans pay attention to their actual interests, and the accounts that should be asked for will never be delayed until the next day.

"Give!"

Willing to gamble and lose, although it was more distressing, everyone still took out the change in their pockets and handed it to Jim.

"Don't pay your money yet, go back and give it to me!" said a boy who was about to pay for it when Jim stopped him. "You can pee your pants even if you watch a movie, you're too timid. ”

"I don't blame me, it's really terrible for this movie!" looked down at his pants, the boy's face was red, shameful!

"No, I can't just be embarrassed, I have to call more people to watch this movie, and we must be ashamed, and everyone will be embarrassed!"

The boy cried out in his heart.

"How's that, how about this movie!" Anna called out to her little sister on the other side.

"Cool!"

A group of girls responded.

"We're going to find more people to watch the movie, it's a shame that we people watch such a good movie!" Anna exclaimed.

"Okay, let's go back and call people, especially boys, I just saw a guy pee his pants scared, that scene is amazing!" a girl shared her experience with her girlfriends.

"It's strange that I smell a commotion, it turns out that someone is scared to pee!" Anna smiled, "Those girls are cowards, and they are not as bold as our girls, find a few more boys to scare them!"

The speed of word-of-mouth communication is fast and slow!

Because the Toronto Film Festival is full of lovers of all kinds of films, and most of these people have circles.

Soon it will spread ten, ten will spread hundreds, and anyone who likes horror movies knows that there is a "Ghost Shadow" at the film festival that is a superb film!

So they came over to have a look!

By the time of the third show, the screening hall was already full, and I had to stuff some benches to make people squeeze in!

And in the fourth scene, the gasai bench is no longer good, it is already overcrowded inside, and fans have to wait outside.

At first, there were only a few fans waiting outside to see it, but as time passed, the fans gathered more and more, and finally reached hundreds of people, surrounding the booth.

"Hey, isn't this Tom, why are you here?" Cruise, who was waiting to enter the venue, looked at the more and more crowds, and felt a little anxious, there were so many people, and there were less than a hundred seats in it, how would it be divided then.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar figure not far away also waiting there, and I couldn't help shouting at the figure.

"It's Cruise, I didn't expect you to be here too! Don't you like to watch horror movies? Why are you here too!" A boy with glasses heard someone calling him, and hurriedly looked over there, and when he found out that it was his friend, he immediately squeezed over.

"Isn't it because I've heard people say that 'Ghost Record' is a good one? It's the scariest movie ever, and it scares a lot of people, and I just want to see how scary it is!

"Yes, there are too many people, if only the screening room inside could be bigger!" Tom said helplessly, looking at the crowd around him.

"Why don't we mention one to the organizers and make the screening hall a little bigger, at least the kind that can seat five or six hundred people!"

"It's hard!" Cruise, who knows a little about the festival, shook his head, "Since "Ghost Shadow" adopts the open-air screening mode, it means that it was not selected by the organizing committee, and it will not be able to enter the cinema in Toronto.

If we want to see it in the cinema, we can only hope that there will be a distribution company that values it. ”

"Are the judges of those organizing committees idiots, such a good movie was not selected!" Cruise's words made Tom a little angry.

"No way, it's an indisputable fact that horror films are discriminated against at film festivals!" Cruise shrugged, saying that this was already an unspoken rule.

Although horror films are good at making a big deal with small films, the weakness of low investment cannot be changed.

"What are they doing!"

It's really boring to wait, and many fans are already playing cards to kill time.

The investors of "Ghost Shadow" have always made a move!

One young man hung a small screen high in the air, and another began to fiddle with something like a projector.

"Do you want to play it in the open air!" Tom couldn't help but ask, looking at the movements of the people on stage.

"No!" Cruise shook his head, "If it was to be shown in the open air, it would have been shown in the open air a long time ago, and it will not wait until now, it is estimated that it will be another movie!"

"Another movie!" Tom scratched his head, "It's good to see it, just to pass the time!"

"Everyone!" Li Yan walked up to the booth with the microphone, "Everyone is welcome to come here to enjoy the movie, because the hardware cannot meet everyone's needs, I apologize to you here." ”

Saying that, Li Yan bent over everyone!

"In order to make up for everyone's time, we are here to screen a movie from the other side of the ocean, and everyone is welcome to comment!"

Li Yan didn't talk nonsense like the domestic host, and after a few simple words, she got into the topic.

Show the movie directly to everyone!

"Nightclub"

Look at the big print on the screen!

Cruise frowned!

Because of the surprise of Eastern and Western cultures, it is difficult for Chinese films to be accepted by Western audiences, just like the "Infernal Affairs", which is known as a god film, swept in Asia and was hailed as the savior of Hong Kong films, but in Europe and the United States.

The box office is pitiful.

And the remake of "Infernal Affairs" "The Departed"!

It was changed by Warner Bros. Pictures buying the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" from Media Asia Film Distribution Company.

As a result, the cost of 90 million US dollars achieved a box office of more than 300 million, and it also won 4 awards at the 79th Oscars: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Picture.

The reason for this is because of the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.

For example, the rivalry on the rooftop.

In Infernal Affairs, Chen Yongren and Liu Jianming looked at each other silently and talked a lot of nonsense!

Oriental people are cool to watch, because the portrayal of the mind here does not reflect the internal basis of the characters' actions and the evolution of events, and it also makes this genre film a novel author's film.

But not with Europeans and Americans, they look at it inexplicably!

For Europeans and Americans, it is the norm to fight without a word!

In "The Departed", what the protagonists talk about all day long is sloppy, gangsters, and swearing is a common situation.

Especially at the end, the blank space at the end of "Infernal Affairs" escaped the villain played by Andy, and the audience couldn't help but think about his subsequent fate.

And in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, right is right, and wrong is wrong!

If you don't want the box office, it doesn't matter!

If you want the box office, taking advantage of evil to promote good is a necessary ending for Hollywood blockbusters!

Otherwise, wait and hit the streets!

So the director was stunned to let Leonardo's scathing boss avenge his dead colleague, ambush Matt Damon's house and shoot him, and then stop abruptly, leaving no room for anything.
