Chapter 959: Help

"The box office on the first day was $15.2 million, and it was a success, and "The Departed" was a success!"

Even if he is as calm as Xu Qian, he can't help the joy in his heart!

Although I had long expected the success of "Departed", I didn't know how excited I was until the moment I actually saw it!

This is an incredible number, and it is likely to break the box office record directed by a Chinese-speaking director!

Nowadays, there are not many Chinese directors who are in Hollywood, and the famous one is Li Chuang, who once filmed "Dragon and Tiger" and won an Oscar!

However, he was born in literary films, and he has no achievements in commercial films at all!

If the box office of "The Departed" can enter the world film history, then Xu Qianke will be a big hit!

Good word-of-mouth, novel publicity, and loyal fans have created the success of this "Departed" on the first day of box office, making it the box office champion of the day!

Warner also saw the potential of "The Departed" and naturally increased its publicity efforts!

On the second day of the release of "The Departed", Warner specially appeared on ABC TV's "Good Morning Rice Country", focusing on recommending this film.

"Good Morning America" is a morning news program broadcast on ABC, which began broadcasting on November 3, 1975. Broadcast for two hours from Monday to Friday, with the third hour aired exclusively by ABC Nes No, the show features news, talk, weather and interesting stories.

This is a live broadcast, Xu Qian is sitting in the studio, behind him is a huge poster of "The Departed", telling the film "The Departed" in popular language!

Many people were stunned!

"The director of "The Departed" turned out to be a young man?"

"The director of "The Departed" is a Chinese?"

"Sounds interesting!"

"Is 'The Departed' really that good?"

"This director looks so handsome, and he is so talented, I admire him!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。

Many Chinese people are also very proud!

"Oh my God, Xu Qian actually appeared on the United States TV!"

"Awesome, it's really worthy of Xu Qian!"

"Xu Qian also eats like this in the United States。。。。。。。 ”

"This is the son of a miracle, that's how it is!"

The audience of "Good Morning Rice Country" is mainly middle-class families, many of whom are office workers over the age of 30, these are the main audience groups of "The Departed", but they don't pay too much attention to the publicity, this time Warner's publicity is aimed at them and then get their attention!

"The Departed" is a police film that meets the taste of the United States, the film tells the lives and choices of two policemen with different positions, and these two main lines are intertwined with the prehistory and development of the two protagonists' personalities, and also involve the discussion of the internal relationship between the police agencies and corruption issues, the crime problem of the gang boss Castro and the relationship between the gang members and many other auxiliary lines. ”

The director boldly expanded, staggered, and extracted the spatio-temporal structure of the film, and then stitched it up again, establishing a multi-line "three-dimensional editing" structure, and using the editing techniques of parallel and cross-montage to make it perfectly compatible with the director's multiple narrative styles, firmly controlling the narrative rhythm of the film, and sorting it out in an orderly manner, so that the audience can easily accept and understand without affecting the natural flow of the picture.

In terms of the processing of the entire narrative, through the use of post-editing, the processing of parallel montage and contrast montage is very natural and smooth, which makes the relationship between the characters in the story seem to become more direct and simple, and the effect presented is very in place, which is a very skillful model of technology. ”

At the beginning of the film, the protagonist Colin narrates autobiographically, and the camera leads to the number one American gangster character Castro, because Colin accepted the favor and baptism of the gang leader, he became the tool of the gang leader Castro, was admitted to the school, and became Costello's undercover agent in the police force. The background of the other protagonist, Bill, is more complicated, his uncle is a famous gangster, and his father is more upright, because he was killed by the underworld, he wants to take revenge by becoming a policeman, so he also entered the police academy to study. The film uses a parallel montage to narrate the learning process of the two at the police academy. In the police academy, both of them are paired with a like-minded supporting role police academy classmates, Colin is matched with a classmate who invites him to dinner from the beginning, and Bill is matched with a black fat classmate. The appearance of these shots also paved the way for the final ending of the film. That is, these two classmates gathered people with things and people, and buried the two protagonists with the role of grouping. ”

Xu Qian's description doesn't seem to be his own film and starts to talk about it, of course, this is indispensable for boasting, and the purpose is, of course, to trick the audience into the cinema!

Many people can't help but be curious after listening to Xu Qian's introduction, the "double undercover" mode is indeed unheard of, and it is precisely because it is unheard of that it can arouse people's interest!

Many viewers in front of the TV were attracted by Xu Qian, and then decided to buy tickets for "The Departed" to watch the movie "The Departed"!

In the following days, Xu Qian was not idle, but worked hard to promote "The Departed", and he also worked hard!

Xu Qian began to be interviewed by a number of media outlets, traveling between major cities to see fan meetings.

On the big screen, Kobe Bryant got off the roof and hurriedly ran down the elevator!

With a "boom", a figure smashed on the taxi behind him, and the protagonist played by Kobe Bryant was stunned, looking very sad!

The audience below was silent, all of them were shocked, with tears flashing in their eyes, and the black and white shots were also playing flashbacks sensationally, almost making people cry.

But this was not enough, the last shot hit Kobe Bryant in the forehead, and his figure slowly fell into the elevator, and the elevator door closed and opened on his lap, "If you don't do it well, just like him, fuck off." Who wants to trade with him?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a police officer!"

The repetition of the scenes, the sensationalism of playing with life, many people left tears!

"Oh my God, how can this be, the protagonist is actually dead. ”

In the end, the criminal went undercover to give him a funeral, a police funeral!

"The protagonist is dead! It's so unexpected, it's so good-looking!"

"It's so exciting, "The Departed"!"

"A Chinese director can make such a bullish movie, awesome!"

"I'm starting to like this director, the style is unique!"

"Awesome, this director is really amazing!"

"This director's name is Xu Qian, remember!"

"I didn't expect China to have such a powerful director!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。
