Chapter 187: You've Succeeded! [5,000 words]
PS: "Best Director" Vali is about to release a new book, or entertainment! Expect!
――
The long queues at the entrances of the five major theaters along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles are completely polar from the scene of the theater doors slamming two days ago.
In the past two days, the single-day box office has not exceeded 10 million, and you can imagine how sluggish the film market is.
Although today is Wednesday and it is still a working day, the release of "The Lord of the Rings 3", which cost nearly 100 million, has injected a strong shot into the film market, after all, the total global box office of the first two films is nearly 2 billion.
It is the best series of films in the history of cinema at the box office, and it has a good reputation, compared to most commercial blockbusters that only sell well and cannot have a place at the Oscar feast.
"The Lord of the Rings" is an absolute killer for the Oscars, and the first "Return of the Lord of the Rings" received thirteen nominations at the Academy Awards, and finally won three awards: Best Picture, Best Cinematography and Best Score.
The second part of "The Twin Towers" was a little worse, and it still received six nominations, and finally won two small awards.
In Chen Tian's memory, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" has set many Oscar records, and the most impressive thing is that all 11 of the 11 nominations were awarded.
And the director Peter. Jackson was also nominated for Best Director three times for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and finally won a little golden man with this "Return of the King", and also became a top international director.
Released with such a super-blockbuster zuò, the gambling psychology at the beginning also became a little worried.
3,733 theaters in North America are online at the same time and almost occupy the vast majority of the prime time, from the film scheduling, you can know the desire and expectation of the theaters for "The Lord of the Rings 3".
Scarlett on the side looked at Chen Tian and held Chen Tian's hand tightly. The other pointed not far away: "It's not all about Lord of the Rings today." There's ours too, isn't it? ”
Chen Tian looked over. Holding the promotional poster of "Little Sunshine Beauty".
"I can't escape anyway, go head-on!" Chen Tian cheered himself up and walked forward with the advancing crowd.
Just like Scarlett said, not all the fans at the scene came to see The Lord of the Rings, although most of them were Lord of the Rings fans, Chen Tian still heard a lot of people discussing "Little Sunshine Beauty".
There is a discussion of him, and there is a discussion of Kolo. Moretz's.
Soon came to the ticket office, Chen Tian looked up at the schedule of the show.
Chen Tian only knows that today's "Little Sunshine Beauty" premiered in 2,788 theaters in North America. It ranks fifth among all the films screened today.
It is second to "The Closest Brothers", "Haunted House" and "The Last Samurai", as well as the largest "Lord of the Rings 3".
Judging from the number of theaters alone, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is obviously at a certain disadvantage, but at this moment, Chen Tian looked at the schedule at the ticket office and breathed a sigh of relief.
From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., although three-fifths of the performances are "The Lord of the Rings 3", "Little Sunshine Beauty" occupies almost the remaining two-fifths.
Many of the other films with a large number of theaters are scheduled for daytime screenings, and it is clear that the poor box office schedule has made the theaters make a choice.
However, Chen Tian knows that if "Little Sunshine Beauty" is also bad in the next few days, then the arrangement of these blockbusters in two or three days will be the end of "Little Sunshine Beauty".
"Two "Little Sunshine Beauty", thank you!"
Chen Tian took out his wallet and bought the ticket, and followed the crowd to the screening hall where he was.
The ticket in hand is a hall for 300 people. The AMC-owned theater has two 1,000-seat super halls, all reserved for The Lord of the Rings 3.
The largest hall of "Little Sunshine Beauty" can seat 500 people. These are all reflections of the gap with "The Lord of the Rings 3".
Entering the theater, nearly half of the 300-person hall was seated, and Chen Tian was very satisfied with such an attendance rate.
Chen Tian and Scarlett sat in the fourth row, the position was not bad, Chen Tian had drinks and popcorn in his hands, and Scarlett had donuts in his hands.
There are still three minutes before the start of the film, and you can still hear people walking in one after another.
Chen Tian raised his eyebrows, if the big theaters in Los Angeles and other big cities also had such an attendance rate, he could laugh happily.
"Donut, don't you want to stay in shape?" Chen Tian looked at Scarlett who was eating a doughnut.
"My body is like this, no matter how thin I am, I can't lose weight, and I can't get fat if I eat too much." Scarlett glared at Chen Tian, "Do you dislike me for being fat?" ”
"How is it possible, I just think that women will always like to be a little thinner on their own, and they should stay away from such a diet, not like you."
Scarlett took it and stuffed it into her mouth again: "As long as a woman likes to eat snacks, it's normal, but not everyone will gain weight after eating, and I'm very modest." ”
Originally, there were not many people sitting in this row, but one after another, tempting people sat in this row.
Soon all the lights in the theater went out, and the big screen slowly lit up.
MGM animations appear on screen, when the iconic lion Leo roars.
The music slowly started to sound louder, and the hall was completely quiet.
More than half of the audience who entered "Little Sunshine Beauty" today came on purpose, and only a small part chose "Little Sunshine Beauty" when buying tickets.
The most direct manifestation of this is that there is not much noise in the theater, and everyone is beginning to look forward to the screening of the film.
Looking forward to what kind of effect Chen Tian's personal system can make with the largest cost of 8 million, and Los Angeles across the entire United States of the Big Apple City of New York.
Roger and Alice had packed a hall full of 500 people with fans who had already seen "Little Sunshine Beauty" once.
It was on that day that they got Chen Tian's signature, and thus began to participate in the creation of Chen Tian's official website.
A little girl with glasses appeared on the screen, with brown eyeballs and long eyelashes, which looked particularly exciting.
Everyone could see the childlike mark of the gods in her eyes, and this pair of eyes alone made a lot of people because of Kolo. The audience who entered the theater recognized Moretz as Colo. Moretz's.
And Kolo. Moretz is working with his brother Trevor at the moment. Moretz and his mom watched their screen debut in another big theater in Los Angeles.
"These eyes are so beautiful!"
"That's Chloe's eyes. I could see it at a glance. ”
Listen to the voices of the audience behind you. Little Kolo. Moretz smiled. She hopes that the film will move the audience more than just her eyes.
She has released some stills of Oliver on the Internet before, and the contrast with real people has made her get a lot of praise.
"The winner of the 30,000 yuan prize is...... Miss Louisiana Erica. Schwarz. ”
On the screen, Kolo. Moretz's face was special, and the camera slowly turned to the two women on the TV.
The camera switches again and returns to Colo. Moretz's face.
Under the deliberate fattening and make-up effect, Kolo. If Moretz hadn't released his stills in advance, if it wasn't for the poster promotion.
Then one can only vaguely see from Oliver's face that this is Kolo. Moretz, with a slightly erect belly, a slightly chubby figure, and a dirty scumbag dress. This is Kolo. The first impression of Moretz.
Some film critics in North America had already seen "Little Sunshine Beauty" at the New York International Film Festival two months ago, but most of the film critics sitting in the theater now have not seen it.
In Colo. After the close-up of Moretz, the fierce confrontation between Dad Greg and Mom Tony shows the conflicts between the husband and wife and some family difficulties.
It also allowed some adult viewers to find themselves in them, and Collo, who was packing up his things in the room. Moretz, who kept screaming that I had won, was full of innocence in her tone, even though she couldn't see her.
The first twenty minutes perfectly sink this terrible and contradictory family situation that seems to be about to collapse at any moment.
Steve. The acting skills of Carell and others are too superb, and a few simple lines with expressions make the audience feel as if they have experienced the contradictions of this family.
"Justin's cast selection is still great!" Roger. Albert turned his head with his colleague Judy. Fox said with a smile.
Judy. Fox also works for the Chicago Sun, and the two of them came to the theater today.
"Very good indeed. But that's just the beginning. "Judy. Fawkes nodded, she agreed with Roger. Albert's view.
Just a start. The actor's acting skills are eye-catching.
And a good actor can add a lot to a film, even if the script of the film is terrible.
But at the moment in Judy. In Fox's view, the beginning of the film is not new.
The presentation of contradictions is not outstanding, but the acting skills of a group of people have changed the status quo, and she is very interested in continuing to watch.
When Dwayne told his uncle in a small notebook that he would not commit suicide tonight, there was some laughter in the theater again.
Dwayne turned off the lights, cheerful music rang out, and the camera showed a mountain range, and a family's yellow van appeared on the road leaning on the small peaks.
Accompanied by the sound of music, the camera swept over the faces of the family at one time, except for Oliver, who was listening to the music, everyone else showed sleepiness on their faces.
The camera is elongated, and the car looks very small in nature.
The grandfather, who was leaning on the back seat, looked at his grandson Dwayne and shouted, "Old man, I'm tired, damn, I'm tired, do you know how tired I am?"
Even if a woman strips naked in front of me and asks me to do it, I won't be able to do it. ”
Vulgar words, for the old disrespectful expressions and movements, the old drama bone Alan. Ah Jin completely played the role of this grandfather.
Chen Tian looked at it again, and finally knew that the future generation of Allen. Although it is an exaggeration that Ah Jin can win the Oscar for supporting actor with this role, it is not too outrageous. Ah Jin's acting skills are really fantastic.
Just as the family was driving to the race site in a yellow van, they didn't expect the clutch of the car to be broken, and there was no car nearby.
This couldn't help but worry the audience, and while they knew that the family would certainly not be denied attendance because of this, they wanted to know how to solve the problem.
Amid the sound of cheerful music, Dad drove the yellow van and the others pushed the yellow van to start.
One by one, they jumped into the car, but their uncle Frank couldn't catch up with the car. Eventually jumped into the car under Dwayne's push. And when a passer-by laughs at the behavior of the family. Laughter was heard again in the theater.
"This family is so unlucky! It's funny! ”
"It's so pitiful, it's not easy to participate in the beauty pageant for Oliver."
"The soundtrack and camera handling are really good, and it makes me see a different Justin style."
Roger. Albert laughed as he listened to the words behind him, and he agreed with them.
Chen Tian's handling of this ordinary script makes it fun, unlike in the past when Chen Tian relied on lines to set up suspense, the lens presentation of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is much richer.
And it's handled great. It's easy to bring the audience into the embarrassment of a family.
Judy. Fox also had to praise Chen Tian for portraying an otherwise old-fashioned plot with a feeling, Roger. Albert watched the film seriously.
As he guessed, the family's conflicts intensified at first, but the actor's appearance added a lot of charm to the script.
The camera shows that when Uncle Frank meets the man he loves at the gas station, Steve Brown. Carell's look made all the critics secretly admire it.
Although the plot looks very old-fashioned, many people in the audience still have to admit that Chen Tian handled the plot just right, and did a good job in both the intensification of the contradictions and the handling of the contradictions.
When Uncle Frank meets his gay boyfriend's current boyfriend at a gas station, the acting is shocking, and the erotic magazine cover that appears in the camera makes the adults in the theater smile.
The father, who was bent on publishing a book, was helplessly deceived, and then there was nothing. It made this embarrassing family even worse.
With the warm music playing, it dyed a layer of warmth on this dilapidated family.
The family is getting more and more in trouble. However, this is not the end.
Cheryl couldn't stand Richard any longer, the camera was not on the husband and wife, but on the silent son Dwayne, and the sound of the quarrel across the wall was faintly heard, not loud but like all normal husband and wife conflicts.
This kind of dialogue and processing makes adult audiences feel extremely real.
When Oliver revealed that he was worried about tomorrow's game and asked if he was a beauty, his grandfather told her in a confident tone that he still couldn't put Oliver at ease.
Calling Grandpa again, the expression on Oliver's face became even more worried, and when she told Grandpa that she didn't want to be a loser, the expression of holding back tears made countless people feel distressed.
"Daddy hates losers." Oliver's tears were already in his eyes.
"Do you know what a loser is? A real loser is someone who is so afraid that they won't be able to win or even try. ”
With no daytime confidence at all, everyone realizes that Oliver, no matter how precocious he is, is still a child.
And Grandpa's words also made everyone realize that this bad old man who was full of swear words, drugs and sex - sex had the best side.
When Oliver woke up the next day and went to his parents' room to say that his grandfather couldn't wake up, the expression on his face contrasted with his grandfather's death.
Grandpa's death on the road without warning made the audience even more worried for the family, and Dad firmly told Oliver that he must compete for Grandpa's sake, and he would never give up if he didn't compete.
"Can't put him here."
"He's never going to stay here."
Dad Richard threw all the slips in his hand into the trash, then opened the curtain and looked outside.
When Dad shoves Grandpa's body wrapped in sheets out of the window, the sound of upbeat music turns the original pathos into crazy black humor.
The car drove out, but the horn broke, and the police finally stopped it.
This made everyone sweat for the Richard family, and if they were caught badly, they would definitely not be able to participate in the game.
However, at this time, Frank helps his grandfather buy a erotic magazine that plays a key role, and when the policeman's love for the magazine is faintly visible on his expression, the theater bursts into laughter again.
"Justin, you're not far from success!" Scarlett shook Chen Tian's hand.
Chen Tian smiled, at least until now, the theater is still very good.
Everyone thought that the family's nightmare was over, but on the way to the next day, his brother Dwayne found out that he was colorblind.
He had been silent and shouted loudly...... UCK's Dwayne knelt on the grass in agony, and the family's tragedy was at its extreme.
Because the road was wrong, I drove frantically so that I was not late, and finally the door of the yellow van fell down.
The faster-paced Clearing Music accompanies Uncle Frank's running, which is extremely compact and highlights the family's desire for Oliver to be part of the race.
Eventually, when the family was five minutes late, the image of Daddy Richard kneeling in front of Ms. Jenqin in order to qualify for the tournament gave a sense of Daddy Richard's desire for Oliver's victory.
And Oliver is like an ugly duckling compared to other little girls dressed up.
The little girls before Kooliver, every one of them was outstanding, and their father and brother went backstage to try to get mom to stop Oliver from coming up.
However, Oliver hesitated for a while and finally chose to take the stage.
"This little girl's acting skills are really good." Roger. Albert said again.
When Oliver appeared on stage and finally danced a striptease, the audience didn't feel out of place at all.
Instead, he felt that his chest was being weighed down by something and he couldn't breathe, and the audience couldn't help but laugh when the scene of the family dancing with Oliver happened.
There was no award, only the applause of the DJ and the applause of another strong man, and this is all the recognition that Oliver's performance received.
When the family pushes the car again, one by one jumps in the car and leaves, the car gets smaller and smaller to the light music.
Roger. Albert looked at the car on the screen and let out a sigh of relief, the seemingly old-fashioned routine took a different path.
In his opinion, regardless of the box office, this is another excellent film.
The screen went dark, and when the list of all the crew flashed, it stayed on top of AJustinCHENFILM.
Everyone who devotes themselves to the film is a little depressed in their hearts.
Scarlett turned her head to look at the 300-person theater: "No matter what the box office is, you succeeded!" (To be continued......)
