Chapter 388: Box Office

The first detail is that it was a small thing that prompted him to enter this industry, one day when he passed by the securities company, he saw the smile on the face of the people in the securities industry, and he said that he really saw a fucking smile at that moment.

I guess that kind of inspirational thing is called interest.

THE SECOND DETAIL IS THAT CHRIS IS CONSTANTLY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIMSELF AND TRYING TO GET INTERVIEWS.

Including personally submitting the application, deliberately saying that he was on the same road as the person in charge and sitting in the same taxi to talk about his characteristics and strengths, which gave him the opportunity to show off the familiar Rubik's Cube he played at home.

One day I also discovered that no matter what kind of skill, even the most insignificant, there will be a time when it will come in handy.

THE THIRD WAS THAT CHRIS WAS DETAINED BY THE POLICE FOR PARKING FINES AFTER HE WAS OFFERED AN INTERVIEW, AND BEFORE THAT, HE WAS ORDERED TO MOVE OUT OF THE HOUSE BY HIS LANDLORD, AND HE HAD TO PAINT THE WALLS TO GET A ONE-WEEK DELAY IN PAYING RENT.

So when he appeared in front of the interviewers in suits and leather shoes in his paint-stained overalls, he said that he had been thinking about how to tell a lie along the way to explain why he was in front of the examiners in such a face, but in the end he could only tell the truth.

When the interviewer asks, if you were an examiner, what would you do to admit someone with paint on their clothes?

CHRIS LOWERED HIS HEAD AND SIGHED, "IT MUST BE BECAUSE HE HAS A NICE PAIR OF PANTS." ”

Knowing how to laugh at oneself is a valuable quality.

With kids picking up from school every day, you have to work harder than your competitors to find time to reach out to potential customers.

He says he won't stop hanging up the phone, won't go to the water cooler to drink — so he doesn't have to go to the toilet either, and he's desperately squeezing out every minute to compete with others.

The brutal competition is reflected in every minute you experience.

FIFTH, WHEN HE HAS TO BE ENTANGLED IN TRIVIAL TASKS SUCH AS SERVING TEA AND WATER TO THE OFFICE MANAGER EVERY DAY, GOING OUT TO BUY TAKEOUT, ETC., CHRIS ALSO THINKS, "I FEEL LIKE I CAN DO SOMETHING MORE VALUABLE." ”

- Everyone thinks when things don't go their way, I can do something more valuable, but for now, let's do it well.

THE SIXTH THING WAS WHEN HE WAS PLAYING BASKETBALL WITH HIS SON, CHRIS SAID, "YOU HAVE A DREAM, YOU HAVE TO PROTECT IT...... What you want, you try to get it."

Passion and action go hand in hand.

THE SEVENTH CRIS OFTEN SAYS THAT "THAT'S A PART OF MY LIFE...... INCLUDING "TAKE THE BUS, RUN ......" AND A SMALL MOMENT, WHICH IS A PART OF HIS LIFE, CALLED "HAPPINESS".

- FOR SUCH A LITTLEPART, JUST BECAUSE IT'SCALLEDHAPPINESS, EVEN IF IT IS INSTANTANEOUS, ALL THE EFFORT SEEMS WORTH IT, BECAUSE IT IS CALLED "HAPPINESS".

These two reviews on the website of the United States.

Translated by a Chinese reporter.

Many Chinese talents began to understand the film.

It turned out that when they ridiculed others for being uneducated, didn't understand Huaxia at all, and couldn't understand "Xiaoli's Spring", they themselves made the same mistake.

I think that "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was written by Chinese people, and it should not be difficult to understand.

But there are some things that they really don't understand.

It's really a hundred steps of laughter with fifty steps.

"I really don't know how many bad movies I've watched to be able to fish out such a good film? ”

Many people re-examine this film, and they find that this film is really not ordinarily good.

No extra shots, no time wasted.

Every line, every action can be touching.

This is the power of Li Dabao's movie.

Douban Er was very moved after watching the movie, and cried and wrote: "Some time ago, a mainland student in Hong Kong chose to commit suicide because of academic pressure, bleak future and many other reasons.

Amid the current of discussion and reflection, one of the graduates anonymously published his story on the intranet.

He said that he had also faced a desperate situation at school and was penniless.

He chose to be a "beggar student" and persevered through the course.

Some of the episodes that I remember are very impressive, such as living in the elevator hall secretly, unkempt like a beggar, being so hungry that I silently enter the venue and eat when the school holds a luncheon.

The students who were able to study in Hong Kong from mainland universities were all very outstanding young people.

I don't know how the scholar who once lived in the ivory tower was ruthless, gritting his teeth to face that abyss-like gap, as well as the eyes and discussions of others.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is such a movie that was seen by chance and moved me again.

Chris, a black man who works as an ordinary medical device salesman, is left by his wife, who can't stand the financial pressure, leaving his 5-year-old son, Christophe, to live with him.

With only twenty-one dollars left in Chris's bank account, he and his son were evicted from the apartment because they had no money to pay the rent.

With great difficulty, Chris won an internship at a well-known stock investment firm, but there was no salary during the internship, and only one of them was able to successfully enter the company.

My younger sister once told me a story that made me feel inexplicably scary every time I thought about it. She said that after graduating with a master's degree, she went to GD to find a job, and a middle school had to recruit several teachers, but as a result, the master's and doctor's degrees from the south to the north were crowded into an auditorium.

One can imagine how cruel the competition is. It seems that both Chinese and foreign job seekers face the same challenges.

Finally, one day in the movie, his father and son, who can't pay the rent, are living on the streets.

Chris and his son were relatively silent in the midnight subway, the son couldn't understand why he couldn't go home to live, but the father started playing the game: "We have traveled through the time machine and arrived in ancient times!" The son immediately cooperated excitedly, looking around.

Chased by the "dinosaurs", the father and son fled to a "cave", what is the "cave", it is actually a men's toilet. Chris sat against the wall of the toilet with his sleeping son in his arms.

The midnight light was miserable, and the emaciated, malnourished father was silently weeping.

Father and son are still working hard for happiness.

They began to live in shelters, and with limited beds, the cheetah-like man sometimes had to use the explosive power of the steppe to fight.

The son fell asleep in a modest shelter bed, and the father was still fixing the medical equipment he was selling, or flipping through the thick written book.

The wallet is badly worn, and, too deflated, every piece of money is familiar. The boss wanted to borrow 5 yuan, hesitated, rubbed the banknotes, and finally gave the money away.

Selling blood, blood seeping inside a plastic bag, that was the last thing a man could give. With the money from the sale of blood, Chris still went to buy electronic components.

Every little hope must be persevered.

What is the most sad thing for parents, that is, the little pitiful wishes of their children are not satisfied.

Christophe's only doll, "American Hero," fell to the ground during a squeeze.

The five-year-old boy was grief-stricken, and Chris's hard expression read the ferocity and pain of facing difficulties. However, no matter how deep the hopelessness was, it did not destroy the bond between father and son and their faith, and they believed that happiness would always fall to them.

"You're a good father", Christophe followed his father around, but the child's heart and weight are the same as those of angels.

This is a very typical "American dream": a person can achieve his dream through his own efforts, happiness, will come knocking on the door.

Many people tend to focus on the establishment of dreams, and often ignore the hardships of the process.

In particular, when faced with a seemingly hopeless reality, how many people will persevere, and how many will give up? Life is constantly revising, and reminds us that those who go with the tide are always more likely to reach the other side of success.

However, it is true that there are some people who are willing to swim against the current.

I believe that this is a little encouragement from the director to the retrograde.

The anonymous graduate from Hong Kong later graduated with a Ph.D., got a good job, had a beautiful wife and lovely children. This strongman said in the post, what can't you persevere? As long as you have a dream. ”

There are a lot of similar comments, and most of them are written because they moved the audience.

Of course, there are countless short reviews.

"When I saw this movie, I remembered the embarrassment when I graduated.

In those days, I really thought about dying, but I persevered.

Now I'm happy, just like that anonymous doctor, and I feel like what's there that can't last? as long as we have dreams. ”

"It's the dream of the United States, and it's also the dream of China. ”

"After watching the movie, how many people can hold on until when happiness knocks on the door?"

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" can be so popular with everyone, which is something that many people did not expect.

Especially Zhang Shuangjiang and Zhang Yishui, father and son.

"This Li Dabao is dead and it doesn't stop. Zhang Yishui said with a gloomy face.

"Hmph, I don't think it's Li Dabao's credit at all, it should be Stephen's credit. Zhang Shuangjiang said.

Zhang Yishui's eyes lit up, yes, Li Dabao is just a screenwriter, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with him.

He quickly posted on Weibo and said: "I am not surprised that Stephen's film "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" can achieve such results, I knew before that he is a particularly talented and talented director.

Some people say that he is not only a successful director, but also a successful screenwriter, as long as he is given an idea, he can make excellent movies, and now it seems that it is really good.

The director is the soul of a movie, the plot of the movie is very good, and every shot is handled particularly appropriately.

I really like the movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and it is their blessing that Dabao Studio can invite such a talented director. ”

When he said this, many people understood that he was weakening Li Dabao's influence on everyone, and clearly told everyone that the reason why the movie achieved such results was because of Stephen, and it had nothing to do with Li Dabao.

Zhang Yishui smiled with a smile, I don't say bad things about you Li Dabao, but when I say that others are good, you can see from the side that you are not as good as others think.

not only suppressed Li Dabao's arrogance, but also made people unable to jump out of the slightest problem.

There are a lot of trolls who are also swiping posts.

"Although "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is a script from Huaxia, it is essentially a Chinese film, and the creative team is from the United States, so the pictures and flavors shot are naturally different. ”

"It's Li Dabao's movie, it's definitely some people who insist on putting gold on their faces. ”

"It's hard to imagine that Stephen has made such an excellent film in such a short period of time, and it seems that his film skills have really reached the point of perfection. ”

"Alas, I'm completely disappointed in the Chinese, always boasting about how I am, it's essentially an American film, so to speak, if there is no Stephen, how can I make such an authentic literary film?"

"At this time of great attention, I really want to know what kind of box office the movie can achieve with such hot reviews?"

"On the first day of box office, I think it will definitely be higher than "Kung Fu". Because it's Golden Week, the number of people watching the movie should be quite large. ”

"That's for sure, I really want to know whether "Xiaoli's Spring" is high, or "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is high at the box office?"

"I don't think they can do either movie, it must be Zhang Yishui's peak moment to win the first-day box office championship. ”

Regarding the box office, a reporter from Kyoto Entertainment interviewed Zhang Yishui.

"Director Zhang, who do you think will win the box office championship among the three movies?"

"Personally, I feel that it is possible to appear in two movies, one is "Xiaoli's Spring", and the other is my "Rush Hour", one of these two movies is a Chinese movie, and the other is a pure rice blockbuster. Zhang Yishui said.

"What do you think of When Happiness Knocks on the Door?" said the beautiful female reporter.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door is a very simple story, so it's not a story.

Stephen's filming skills are quite ingenious, and he is also well-known in the industry for handling the plot very well, and many times he almost fights with the screenwriter in order to revise the plot.

You also know that movies are such a thing, and it is possible that a movie plot can change the meaning of the movie itself.

But the script he chose was not very good, and he actually chose a literary film, and it was a literary film written by a Chinese.

I think he must have worked very hard to shoot, not only to revise the script, but also to determine the idea, which is definitely no less than writing a script himself.

Even a lot of the time it will be overturned and rewritten.

This is precisely what no director can match.

If I let him shoot "Rush Hour", I can't catch up with others, but what he filmed turned out to be "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" written by a Chinese person.

I'm pretty sure I'll beat him. Zhang Yishui said politely.

"Are you saying that what Li Dabao writes is not good?" said the beautiful reporter.
