Chapter 682 Word of Mouth Begins to Appear, Audience Recognition (Three Watches)
The jury is actually separate from the organizer, and the jury is only responsible for selecting the shortlisted films and deciding the ownership of each award, while a series of arrangements such as the screening hall and screening time belong to the organizer.

Therefore, when the audience's dissatisfaction was vented, Colin, the chairman of the jury, called the organizer as soon as possible and asked the other party to quickly give a solution.
"Don't want the film festival to come back to South Korea in this life!" Colin angrily extinguished his cigar, he had been drinking with a group of old friends to catch up, but unfortunately such an incident happened.
Gladstone, a famous sci-fi screenwriter, said with a smile: "Maybe you can consider going to China, they will definitely welcome you." Now their sci-fi development is quite fast, and most sci-fi films can get a good box office over there. ”
The rest of the people knew what was going on, so another old man with a whiskey glass said, "Colin, is that 'The Matrix' really that good?
They are all people who have seen the world in Hollywood, and they don't think that a Chinese science fiction film can be any better, maybe it is because the South Korean group of hillbillies have little knowledge and praise an ordinary work very highly.
Americans also have a kind of pride in their bones, their movies are the best in the world, and they can't look down on Asian and European works at all!
Colin Cecil shook his head, recalling how he felt when he first saw the film, and sighed: "It was a movie that everyone remembered, almost to the extreme in every way. Before I saw The Matrix, I never thought it would be possible to make a film like this outside of Hollywood, and it was directed by a writer!"
Since the North American promotion of "The Matrix" has not been carried out on a large scale, many people do not actually know who the director of the movie is.
"I know that this writer is very remarkable, and this year's "Jurassic Park" is his work, and he is still the screenwriter. The script for "A Bouquet for Algernon", which I co-wrote with Lisa, is also his novel, and this young man is very simple, diverse and mature in style, and he is the most important talent that China has sent to Hollywood!"
Gladstone praised and said, compared with the others, he had worked with Lin Han indirectly, so he knew more about Lin Han's influence in Hollywood companies.
"Is this movie really as good as you say?" Roger Houston gulped down the wine from his glass, "It's still early, why don't we go and see it?"
People who engage in art just do what they want, Gladstone immediately agreed: "It seems that it only takes more than ten minutes to go to the movie palace here, what do you think, Colin?"
Colin Cecil just wanted to go to see the scene of the trouble, and he replied, "What are you waiting for, let's hurry up, maybe the movie will start at this time." If I were you, I wouldn't want to miss that wonderful opening scene!"
……
The scene shifted to the Cinema Palace, where "The Monster of the Han River" was being played in the largest screening hall that could accommodate more than 500 people, and this was the second time to be the opening film, but the audience was sparsely packed, and not even a third of the seats were filled.
Frank sat in his seat, feeling that this story couldn't be read at all, the pattern was too small, especially compared to the "Matrix" that he had just watched, it was not at the same level at all!
He also didn't want to waste time, he originally wanted to watch "The Matrix" again, but unfortunately there were so many people that he couldn't get in at all, so he could only retreat to the next best thing, wanting to see why "Monster of the Han River" could occupy the best theater.
What kind of movie can squeeze a film with cool visual effects and plot into the fringe screening room, but Frank's curiosity has completely turned into disappointment!
It is true that this is a work above the standard, telling the story of the US military morgue illegally pouring a large amount of spoiled formaldehyde into the Han River, resulting in the pollution of the water quality of the Han River and the mutation of the organisms in the water.
"The Matrix" has raised his horizons, and now when he looks at "Monster of the Han River", he just feels that it can't be compared anywhere, and it is a complete waste of time!
"If you were to use this IMAX hall to show 'The Matrix,' the visuals and sounds would have kept me awake all night. ”
Obviously, the monster of the Han River is raging on the screen, but Frank is distracted, and he is thinking about some details of the Matrix.
If Neo had swallowed the blue pill and chosen not to reveal the truth, how would the story have developed?
Does the world after coming out of the matrix world have to be real?
The apocalyptic scene looks terrifying, and machines and artificial intelligence can create such a real illusion as a matrix, so why do we need to use humans as biological batteries?
They should have a lot of alternative energy sources, and nuclear power will certainly not be difficult for future technology.
There are many more details in the film, and even Frank feels that every number has its own meaning, he rubbed his temples and decided that when the movie is released, he must study it carefully, and it is best to buy a Blu-ray disc and watch it repeatedly!
He didn't know anything about philosophy, but he wanted to know what these details meant in the movie.
"I really don't know how to get the code in the movie, and I want to get a code portrait for myself as an avatar. Looks like we'll have to get in touch with my cousin to see if their Silicon Valley programmers have the skills!"
The portrait of the green code that Frank has in mind is the one that Neo looks like at the end of the film after he becomes a savior, and the entire screen can be seen that Neo wearing sunglasses is actually composed of the ever-changing green code.
For example, his sunglasses, hair, and clothes are actually a black background between the codes, and the green codes make up his skin, and the color difference and arrangement of the two colors just form such a fluorescent portrait!
……
At this time, the organizers of the film festival are like ants on an iron pot, and they are in a hurry.
In order to avoid the audience from making trouble, they quickly opened a screening hall and let the audience who were waiting outside go in and sit down!
Even if they have the source in their hands, they can't play it without the key, so the organizers asked the staff to stabilize these audiences first, and on the other hand, they quickly contacted Lin Han.
However, at this time, Lin Han had just returned to the hotel and took a shower to rest, and he didn't hear the phone ring at all, so they had to find Miao Hong!
Miao Hong was actually doing a questionnaire survey at this time, and he collected a lot of comments and feedback from the audience, which was originally collected by a special company in North America, but now he can only be the general manager.
Fortunately, the questionnaire was made in English, and most of them were choice questions, otherwise I really couldn't read Korean.
"Mr. Miao, please be sure to help us, we have just opened two more halls, one of which is full of 300 people, and the other hall is also a third of the seats. Everyone is really looking forward to seeing this movie!"
The attitude of Song Junxiu, the representative of the organizers, to ask for help is very good, if the problems of these viewers cannot be solved, it will not be "The Matrix" that will suffer, but them.
However, Miao Hong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he said slowly in English: "According to the plan, we will only show these two shows, and anything that exceeds the plan must be approved, especially a heavyweight film like ours." ”
He accentuated the word heavyweight, which was completely mocking the previous approach of the organizers, "The Matrix" deigned to participate in the film, and it was treated as a garbage movie, not to mention enjoying super high praise, not even normal treatment!
Who would have been in such a small screening room at the opening of the festival?
Now that he has lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, Miao Hong is happy to see the joke.
Kim Jun-so scolded Choi Yong-jun and his group in his heart, but they had to take responsibility for the mistakes they made, forgetting that he also agreed to Choi Yong-jun and others to suppress "The Matrix"!
"This is a gross dereliction of duty on our part, and I am very sorry. Kim Jun-so is also a person who can afford to let go, he immediately bowed to Miao Hong and apologized, and the whole person looked very sincere, "But the audience is innocent, they love this movie very much, and they hope to have the opportunity to be seen by more people." ”
Miao Hong narrowed his eyes, is this using the audience to morally kidnap himself?
Originally, he wanted to agree after seeing Jin Junxiu's apology, but the latter sentence of the snake added to the snake wiped out all Miao Hong's favor, "Your apology is not sincere, and you can inform those audiences to come back to line up tomorrow morning, or wait for them in this screening room." ”
Jin Junxiu was almost dumbfounded, he didn't expect things to turn out like this at all, Miao Hong was not moved at all.
I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, just when the atmosphere came to an embarrassing scene, the panting Colin trotted to Miao Hong, he originally wanted to bring his old friends to watch the movie together, but after coming over, he found that the audience was just sitting in the screening hall, and there was nothing on the screen.
"Mr. Miao Hong, we have met once at Mr. Duke's cocktail party, I don't know if you still have an impression. ”
At the beginning, Miao Hong was the senior management at the helm of Sony Pictures North America, so all kinds of top social occasions in Hollywood are indispensable.
Miao Hong smiled slightly, which was considered to give our mutual friend Duke a face, "Mr. Cecil, I'm sorry to let you run late at night." I have a question, why did you arrange such a screening room and time for us?"
Colin's expression was a little embarrassed, his eyes shook from side to side, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "We think that this movie is too commercial, plus it is a Chinese dialogue, miscalculated the audience's preferences, thinking that the audience is not interested in this movie." I didn't expect it to turn out to be the exact opposite, it was a serious mistake in our review, but tomorrow we will definitely use the best theater for "The Matrix"!"
This is actually a step, Colin Cecil can't take the initiative to break the news that it was the South Korean organizer who did it, although everyone knows it, but the film festival has just begun, it is impossible to really offend the Koreans, otherwise what will happen in the next few days?
Miao Hong shook his fingers, this is not enough, far from enough, "This is the treatment we should have." You hurt our feelings, is this a sincere remedy?"
Kim Jun-so gritted his teeth, and he said: "Next, we will let more audiences see this movie, and give priority to "The Matrix" in terms of promotion." ”
"Deal! I'm going to download the key now, and let's go over together?"
Miao Hong is a businessman, so what he wants is to maximize his own interests, and if Lin Han is present, he may give priority to the needs of those hundreds of spectators.
Jin Junxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart, he scolded Lin Han and Miao Hong, Cui Yongjun and others together, and at the same time, there was a dark thinking surging!
At this time, in the screening hall of "Monster of the Han River", I don't know who said loudly in Korean, "My friend just told me that "The Matrix" has added two more shows, and there are still many places, will anyone go over together?"
This is probably the result of the call, and the already small audience members stood up one after another, and everyone quickly walked outside, leaving only a small number of people still here.
Frank has lived in Korea for almost 5 years, and of course he understands some of the Korean, so he followed the team to the screening room next to it, where there were no staff to stop him, because even the staff went in to watch it carefully!
