The premiere of "Manchester by the Sea" was relatively low-key, but it was not deserted.

In addition to Fu Luo, Li Yu, and other main creators of the movie, even Scarlett Johansson, who only played one soy sauce, also made a special trip to attend.

Then Anne Hathaway also came over to help, the other party and Li Yu filmed the famous "Brokeback Mountain" together, and Fu Luo needless to say, after all, "Interstellar" is in full swing, all of them can be regarded as acquaintances, and it is not so strange that they will come over to support.

To put it utilitarianly, Li Yu is a big director, Fu Luo's status is not low and he is super rich, there are many people who want to show favor to the two, and interests can sometimes clear up a lot of potential factors.

In addition, many film critics have also been invited by Focus Pictures, and if they want to win the awards, they naturally have to invest in this area.

Anyway, this time Fu Luo is personally ready to spend 20 million US dollars to find professionals to help with public relations, to see if there is a chance to win a grand prize, life is rare to join in the excitement, other people's territory naturally has to follow other people's rules, if you can succeed with a little money, it is also excellent.

Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't succeed, if he doesn't play in the future, he is not as persistent as Xiao Lizi.

I didn't have much public relations last year, because Fu Luo felt that the chances of "Gravity" winning the award were really small, and he couldn't afford to work hard.

After all, for the Oscars, if you want to win the best actor with a sci-fi film, it is undoubtedly possible for the sun to come out of the west.

And now this "Manchester by the Sea" is naturally more in line with the taste of the Oscars, and the only thing that is not quite certain is probably his identity as Chinese.

But there is no way to do this, he is Chinese, so he can only wait for the final result.

It seems a bit too far to say this, at least after the nomination, you have to be qualified to talk about it.

Anyway, before Christmas next month, according to the usual list of previous years, the Golden Globe Awards will announce their nominations, and then you should know if there is a chance, the weather vane!

Back at the premiere, amid the shouts of dozens of media reporters at the scene, the main creators of "Manchester by the Sea" began to accept questions from reporters and take pictures.

In this way, almost ten minutes later, the entire short red carpet ceremony came to a smooth end, and all the guests began to enter the theater, ready to start watching the movie.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and as the entire screening room went dark, the big screen appeared on the factory logos of Focus Pictures and Dune Entertainment, and when it was over, a long shot continued to zoom in from the sea level, against the seaside town in front of it.

The picture is beautiful and serene, and with Albinoni's Adagio score in G minor, it even makes people feel comforting.

And in the dark, many professional film critics also nodded secretly, and Li Yu's level did not disappoint.

Soon, two sets of shots were switched on the screen in succession, and the title of the movie was brought out, until the subsequent scene changed to face the sea again, uh...... There is no spring blooming, after all, it is winter.

It was a moving ferry boat that rushed into the camera, and then Fu Luo, the actor and a small actor, also officially appeared, but it was a long shot, and only the two could be seen laughing and talking.

This shot may seem ordinary, but it actually conveys the emotions of Fu Luo, the male protagonist, and it is a state of joy.

Soon, after the end of this long shot, several small clips and subplots appeared one after another, showing the life of the protagonist Fu Luo, and at the same time, a temperament of silence greater than death also flowed from him.

It forms a strong contrast with the previous picture, and also gives the audience a sense of thought and thought.

A few fragments can be regarded as showing Fu Luo's performance strength, that kind of decadent temperament, which he interprets as if it comes out of his bones directly.

The next moment, Scarlett Johansson, who was dressed in sexy pajamas on the big screen, also appeared, which immediately made many people's eyes shine, especially men.

"Heh~~!!"

As the conversation began, when Scarlett Johansson said in a sarcastic tone, "You want to see me take a shower, you want to drink my bath water", the whole theater resounded with chuckles, perhaps thinking of Durant's meme.

And Scarlett Johansson herself, who was in the dark, also smiled slightly.

In fact, there was no such sentence in the original line, but when filming this scene, the guy Fu Luo said the matter of "drinking bath water".

Later, she took the initiative to add this line, and director Li Yu didn't say anything at the time, and now she keeps it, which is also a surprise to Scarlett Johansson.

Regardless of the whole thing, the movies on the big screen continue to be screened, and they unfold completely through the sight of Fu Luo, the male protagonist.

is divided into two, one line is the family breakdown caused by the hero's family tragedy, and the other is that after the death of the hero's brother, the nephew left behind needs his guardianship.

A father who can't get out of the pain of losing his son, and a son who has lost his father, these two people with special identities have come together, and all kinds of life contradictions have become a profound discussion about family affection.

In fact, the movie doesn't care about conveying any kind of values, or bringing some kind of dramatic visual presentation through the reversal of positive energy, it just conveys such a sad emotion.

Choosing how to live is everyone's own subjective choice, so the sorrow and melancholy diffused in "Manchester by the Sea" is also the actor's independent choice, regardless of right or wrong.

Maybe the audience has been expecting warmth, but by the end of the movie, the warmth did not come as expected to comfort the male lead.

Such a reversal without reversal is actually the biggest reversal, and it does not follow the old-fashioned traditional routine.

Then the whole movie also adopts the method of interpolation, and various pieces are mixed with each other, but under the control of director Li Yu, it will not be incomprehensible.

Even two seemingly unrelated images, in fact, if you think about it superficially, you will find that there is always a trace of connection, and the original version did not do so perfectly in this regard.

Perhaps, this is the difference between the Oscar for Best Director and the director of the original film.

"Whoa, whoa!!"

As time passed, after almost two hours passed, when the end credits appeared on the big screen, the audience stood up and gave enthusiastic applause.

In the hearts of everyone, the movie "Manchester by the Sea" did not bring any positive energy, and the whole process was mourned to the end, which seemed to be no surprise, but in fact, it was the biggest surprise, and it was so real that it pierced the heart.

…………

The next day, various reviews of "Manchester by the Sea" were released, and it can be said that most people gave good reviews, calling it a movie that is definitely worth watching.

This is due to the operation of Focus Pictures and the PR team, as well as the quality of the film itself, at least in the eyes of those who admire the art of cinema, "Manchester by the Sea" must be a high-quality work.

In addition, the box office of the first day of the movie also has specific figures, five theaters were screened, and the box office of a single theater reached 123155 US dollars, with a total box office of 616,000 US dollars, which is amazing enough.

In terms of the box office of a single museum, the result of 123155 US dollars can rank third in 14 years, only losing to "American Sniper" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

Both of these films are big hits this year, and it can be said that they are the rivals of "Manchester by the Sea".

However, Fu Luo is not too worried, because in his memory, these two movies do not seem to have won any heavyweight awards.

The actor he pays the most attention to seems to be given to "Freckles" Eddie Redmayne, the first post-80s actor in Oscar history, he is also a post-80s, just see if he can grab 20 million US dollars.

In this way, Fu Luo, who stayed in the United States for two days, was ready to return to China after arranging some things, he was not allowed to stay here and go to parties or anything, anyway, what could be done with money, just use money as much as possible.
