Chapter 1134: It's time to give it back to him
The main creative staff of the crew, like all the audience, saw the final full version of the film for the first time since the filming of this film was completed, and sitting here today, they also became a spectator, savoring the energy brought by this film from beginning to end.
More than ten seconds later, Chen Hao slowly stood up, and the main creators of the crew around him began to stand up with him, walked to the front of the big screen, and faced the audience of nearly 400 special guests, bowed to express their gratitude, thank you for coming.
Here, we don't have any cameras, no interviews, no one asks you how you feel about watching the film, now all you need to do is leave the screening room under our watchful eye and go out and exercise your rights as professionals.
Sending a movie review?
Sending long-form movie reviews?
Writing news material?
Going to be interviewed by outside media?
To vomit badly?
Or, go aftertaste.
After Chen Hao himself watched the ultimate version, he felt that the most appropriate way is to let everyone slowly taste it by themselves, this is a movie that does not need you to evaluate it in words, its good and bad, its success and its failure, it is not that it cannot be evaluated, it is that everyone who has seen this film will have their own cognition, and they don't need to learn anything from the film, but at least they have their own judgment on the value of the film。
Forrest Gump is a kind of spirit.
Jon is a film critic from New York who has a reputation for sharp, Sharp and accurate views have won the love of a considerable number of audiences, his articles and film reviews have a fixed group of audiences, a small number of people but most of them are elites, for the general commercial film Jon will not comment at all, he and the audience who like his comments and opinions, think that it is a blasphemy of the profession of film critics, rather than to be hot than to rub the heat, rather than spend a long time in a year in silence, rather than waste his energy to evaluate some movies that he feels have no artistic value in his eyes.
He accepted Chen Hao's invitation to come over, and always behaved very calmly, when others were restless and felt that this film was a failure, he would still praise the opening feather in his heart, such a shooting method was a happy perception for him, and after watching the whole film, he was also not excited.
Walking out of the screening room, the media from New York saw him and recognized him, and immediately went to his side to interview him: "Jon, what do you think of Mouse's new film?"
Jon paused, he wouldn't have spoken easily in the past, but this film had planted a seed in his heart, and he believed that it would definitely take root, so he didn't need to go back and remember and phrase it before speaking.
"I love this movie, I don't think it's a movie to be judged by what kind of movie it is, it's not 'The Shawshank Redemption' , it will not even make you have a great perception from the perspective of the movie, but when you see it there will be a silent touch, I don't want to go into the cinema immediately and watch it again, I will definitely walk into the cinema for the second time in the future to be moved again, and in the further future I will collect a CD of this movie, I need the highest quality kind, and from time to time I will take it out and watch it again. ”
Mary is the host of a film festival, she is also within the scope of the invitation today, she came, she watched, she did not try to interview the main creative staff of the crew on the spot, like all moviegoers, she is an ordinary audience, she walked out of the screening hall and was interviewed, she thought sideways: " I CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS FILM, MAYBE IT WON'T HAVE BEEN CRAZY BOX OFFICE RESULTS, BUT I DARE SAY IT WILL DEFINITELY HAVE ITS PLACE IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA, AND MOUSE'S PERFORMANCE IS SO GOOD THAT HE IS THE BEST ACTOR IN MY HEART. ”
There are a lot of people interviewed in the waiting halls of various movie theaters, Chen Hao's films, worthy of a large number of media waiting for interviews in movie theaters in major cities across the United States, when the news came out the next day, everyone found that the vast majority of the interviewees did not use relatively accurate words to describe the film, nor did they put any color on the film, everyone actually has their own evaluation after watching this movie, but when they are interviewed, they will feel that their inner evaluation may be too simple and superficial, how to define this film, it seems that it is blasphemous to say it easily。
In the end, there was a sentence that became famous, and it became the sentence that everyone felt was the most suitable to reply to media interviews: "Go into the cinema and watch it yourself, I believe you will have your own evaluation." ”
All the people who are asked by their friends whether this film is good or not, will also say similar things, such as Jon, if asked if the movie is good, he will answer you: "This is a movie that is worth going to the cinema to watch, you can take popcorn and Coke to watch a relaxing movie, you can also watch it with a stomach full of resentment, but when you walk out of the cinema, I believe you will feel the same way as me- Don't evaluate, I'm too tired, I've watched a movie that is worth watching, it's okay, I don't want to analyze plot by plot, that may be the biggest blasphemy against it. ”
In addition to the North American market, the European market is hot, the South American market is hot, and the only broadcast area in Africa and Asia is mediocre, especially the Asian fans who have super hopes for this film, they don't understand, isn't this film an inspirational film? At best, Chen Hao used very good special effects technology to put Forrest Gump into the historical event, is there anything else?
This is not the family movie we are familiar with.
It's not the kind of in-depth art film we want.
We don't know how to define this film, and if we want to say that this film is good, it seems that in addition to Chen Hao's acting skills, there is no other place worth praise.
Ordinary viewers don't look at what the media and audiences in North America and Europe say about this film, and when they feel that they can't understand it, all they can do is go to Douban on the Internet or some similar scoring websites, how much score is given to this movie, and how do those film reviews interpret this film? It doesn't matter if we don't understand it, we can solve our doubts from other people's film reviews.
In the eyes of professionals, the evaluation of "Forrest Gump" is the same all over the world, and it is not inaccurate to use some words to define this film, but it is a little too hasty.
They feel that all this is the foundation of director Chen Hao, and in their eyes, Chen Hao is the pinnacle of director as a director, and when everything returns to the basics, there will still be such a level, next year's Oscars, the little golden man who owes him the best director.
It's time to give it back to him.
When more and more film critics say that this is not a movie that should be simply defined or evaluated, those viewers who feel that they have not understood this film suddenly realize that it is not that they can't understand it, that they should not interpret this movie in a conventional way, and they don't need to define whether it is good or bad, what do you feel after watching it? Is it comfortable? Is it relaxing? Is it a glimmer of hope for the future? I still feel that all this is just a castle in the air, just like Hamlet, the audience who doesn't believe in the existence of such people, and they don't think that people like Forrest Gump will succeed in real life, maybe the really good thing about this film is that in the film, Forrest Gump's success has never been the focus, and because of this, those who don't believe in it, when they watch a movie in the cinema, they won't have a beautiful and feeling that this is an imaginary idea.
The single-day box office in North America is 15 million, according to Chen Hao's previous level, this is low, if the first weekend of a film is a box office blowout, then the box office of "Forrest Gump" in North America is at best 60 or 70 million, in terms of investment in this film, it is a success, but if it is labeled by Chen Hao, it is undoubtedly a loss, and it is a miserable loss.
Those who are on the box office theory have been criticized by many people as soon as they opened their mouths, these people are proud of watching art films, and feel that discussing the box office is too cliché, according to their ideas, the film "Forrest Gump" should be shown in art theaters, and it should not be screened in mainstream theaters, which is a blasphemy against this film.
The box office in China is good, 80 million. Some brainless black guys have popped up, they slammed Chen Hao's film as a deceptive work, deceiving the audience's expectations, take a look, in addition to online pre-purchase tickets, the premiere that started at noon was crazy, and the attendance rate after that dropped significantly, if it weren't for the fact that many fans booked a few shows in advance, maybe by the prime time in the evening, the attendance rate would have dropped to less than sixty percent, if so, then a day or two, even in such a non-crazy schedule "Forrest Gump" The number of films will also decline, in Huaxia but not in North America, Chen Hao's works almost directly account for 40% of the film schedules in major theaters, and the box office of 80 million is definitely Waterloo's data on him.
Chen Hao is not in a hurry, the company is in a hurry, thinking of finding someone to say something on the Internet, an article from netizens, which can also be regarded as a slightly spoiler version of the film review, has caused a huge response on the Internet and has been reprinted crazily.
"Do you understand Forrest Gump? Do you understand Haozi?"
