The last reporter's question was deliberately a bit too much, but he didn't stay any longer after answering, and took the four beauties around him back to the red carpet and walked to the theater, which also made the other reporters roll their eyes at that guy.

At 4:30 p.m., all the guests and media attending the premiere entered the venue, and the audience was seated. The premiere of "Lethal Weapon" officially opened.

Catherine's "Lethal Weapon" is slightly different from the one directed by Richard Donner in Mo Fei's memory, but this kind of film that is aesthetic from the perspective of male thinking of female directors does have a different flavor.

First of all, the difference is shown from the beginning of the film, the Richard Donner version of the opening credits is set in the city at night, and the soundtrack uses a soft rock version of Merry Christmas, while Catherine's version uses the bustling crowds on Christmas Eve as the backdrop, and the Christmas song starts gently and gradually moves towards a faster pace.

In the bustling Christmas Eve crowds, everyone is feeling the joyful atmosphere of Christmas Eve, and some people are starting to walk to the church to take a good place at Midnight Mass.

But Christmas Eve was not peaceful, and when everyone was rejoicing, the clock of the cathedral pointed to twelve o'clock, and before everyone had time to shout "Merry Christmas", the bell rang early.

With a loud bang, a female corpse wearing only very simple underwear appeared in a car, and after a burst of screams in the flow of people, some people were worried that something would continue to fall and be smashed and ran away, and some dared to walk in to see what was going on, and maybe there were perverts with special hobbies.

After a completely different opening, the film begins to slowly return to its original trajectory, with Danny Grove's black cop taking a bath, today is Christmas, and his birthday, and Halle Berry's daughter brings her younger siblings to congratulate him. Then it was Danny Grove who went to the scene of the crime and found that the deceased was the daughter of his comrade-in-arms.

The first actor soon appears, with Bruce Willis living in an RV next to the road, licked by his dog and drinking beer while going to the bathroom, and dedicating his first screen nudity.

In the following plot, except for a joke added to bring the relationship between black and white closer, the original trajectory is completely restored, as long as it is not to increase watchability and entertainment, and Mo Fei is not willing to change these classic films too much.

This little joke is taken from the classic Western humor in the movie "Tarzan", Danny Grove and Bruce Willis went to investigate the case together, and encountered a hob meat thug, picked a baseball bat from the wall and pointed it at Bruce Willis to provoke, but was snatched by Bruce.

The thug was anxious, and hurriedly said that it was a baseball bat signed by all the players of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it took him a lot of thought to get it.

Bruce Willis picked up the baseball bat and looked at it, looked at Danny Grove, and then tried to break the baseball bat with both hands, but because he was a little overdrunk after the injury the day before, he couldn't do it at all, so he had to hand the stick to Danny Grove.

The fifty-year-old police officer came twice and didn't break it, and by this time the audience was already laughing, these are simply two living treasures. After the two looked at each other again, one of them grabbed the baseball bat and shouted "one, two, three" and slammed it sideways into the corner.

A signed baseball bat snapped, and Bruce Willis took the broken bat and handed it to the thug, "Boy, you have two now." ”

As the investigation continues, the audience becomes more and more nervous, Bruce Willis and Danny Grove are just two cops, but the other party is a former member of the CIA-affiliated special forces, and it is a group of groups, which is not an organization they can overturn at all.

But justice must be served, old friends must be avenged, the honor of the police must be maintained, and their duties must be fulfilled, and the black and white heroes will finally embark on a fierce road. Bruce Willis, the lethal weapon of the human figure, was once again possessed by the god of war, and he entered the battle with the halo of a people's hero, and the ending was naturally happy.

In the tidbits after the end of the film, the part where Bruce Willis jumped out of the helicopter himself once again pulled the audience's hearts up, although he knew that Bruce Willis was fine, he was still alive before the premiere just now, but he couldn't help but be shocked to see him jump from the helicopter again and again and then reshoot it, no wonder the footage of the movie is so beautiful, this is a desperate fight, and it is worth applauding everyone for this.

The next day, the film reviews came out, and almost most of the reviews expressed support for this black and white duo, and affirmed the story content and the acting skills of the two protagonists, but there is nothing else to praise, a very good commercial film, this is the best praise.

Of course, it is not that no one sees more problems, such as the unique perspective of director Catherine Bigelow, the typical thinking, which are the elements that bring success to the film. The control and tension shown in this film are not even possible for many male directors, but this female director has done it.

A columnist in the Los Angeles Times critic expressed his opinion, saying that Catherine Bigelow is a rare excellent director, who has properly integrated business and film in this film, and also reflects her own style in many details. No one knows that this guy with the name "Aslang III" is actually the famous Oscar-winning director, Nicolas Cage's uncle, Francis Coppola.

On March 11, two days after the premiere of "Lethal Weapon", it is the day when the nominations for the annual Academy Awards are announced, although there is a gap between the American Film Academy Awards and the three major film festivals in Europe in some aspects, Russia cannot deny that this award by the American Film Institute is one of the most important awards in the global film industry.

Early in the morning of the announcement of the nomination, Mo Fei also got the box office of "Lethal Weapon" since its release two days ago, due to the popularity of the first day of the premiere, the theater chain taboo freed up 700 screens to increase the screening of this film, and the box office results in two days were quite good, reaching 13 million US dollars, even if the final box office in North America is not more than 100 million, it will not be too bad, which can be regarded as bringing a touch of joy to the upcoming nomination announcement.

With joy, of course, the effect behind it will not be too bad, Phoenix Culture also got a lot of positions in this nomination, "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Soul Catcher" have won multiple nominations, and "Die Hard" is not too far from the trajectory of the previous life, and was successfully nominated for best visual effects, best editing and best sound effects.

In the awards ceremony soon after, "The Silence of the Lambs" will compete for the Best Film Award with four films such as "Out of Africa", "The Color Purple", "The Honor of the Pritz Family", and "Witness", but in this one, it is not difficult to see from the Golden Globe Awards that it is almost impossible for Chinese films to win this award at present.

There was no nomination for Best Actor for a Chinese-language film, and the award will ultimately be decided between William Hurt for "Kiss of the Spider-Woman", Harrison Ford for "The Witness", James Garner for "Murphy Romance", Jack Nicholson for "The Honor of the Pritz Family", and Jon Voight for "The Runaway Train". In Mo Fei's memory, it should be William Hurt who finally won the award and won the best actor, and this year's Golden Globe actor Jon Voight did not win.

The Best Actress award has nothing to do with Chinese films, or it can also be said to have nothing to do with Phoenix culture. Streep, Giratin. Peggy, Annie. Bancroft, Whoopi. Goldberg and Jessica. The five Langer will compete for this award on behalf of "The Color Purple", "Journey to Abundance", "God's Daughter", "Sweet Dream" and "Out of Africa", while Golden Globe actress Whoopi Goldberg also failed to continue his glory and should have lost to Girardin in the end. Peggy.

After the Golden Globes, he was once again nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Amici, Klaus of Out of Africa. Mary. Brawdle, William of The Pritz Family Honor. Hawky, Eric of "Runaway Train". Roberts four-man competition. However, this time Yongjiang's hope is not very big, the Oscars have the rules of the Oscars, just like the best picture, pure Chinese films are not yet time, and the possibility of accompanying them is quite large. Of course, if Yongjiang can have the luck of Cambodian Chinese actor Wu Han in 85 years, it is not completely impossible to take a little golden figure back, but the difficulty is too great, it was just sent to Asian actors last year, and the possibility of re-issuing it this year is very small.

Best Supporting Actress is the same as a drama without Phoenix culture, and the supporting actress Ye Qianwen in "Soul Catcher" performed well, but she didn't have many scenes, and the chance of attracting attention was relatively small, but even if she was nominated, she would not gain anything, so she should avoid this trip.

Mo Fei's name also appeared in the list of nominees for the Best Director Award, and it seems that "The Silence of the Lambs" is still very successful, and it has received at least one nomination. I believe that this will not be given to me, no matter how good the movie is, it is impossible, a Chinese director, or a newcomer, it is a big face to be nominated, and the old comrades of the United States must be taken care of first when winning the award.

Phoenix Culture is most likely to compete for important awards, namely Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, "Soul Catcher" and "The Silence of the Lambs" were shortlisted respectively, these two films were originally the best screenplay and the best adapted screenplay, and this year's "Witness", "Back to the Future", "Official Statement", "Cairo Purple Rose", "Out of Africa", "Purple", "Kiss of the Spider Woman", "Honor of the Pritz Family" These eight films cannot compete with Phoenix Culture in terms of script. As long as the surprise is not very big, it is necessary to win one of the awards, the feasibility of the two awards is not great, and Mo Fei's fame can't support it.

What is unexpected and not so surprising is that "The Silence of the Lambs" was nominated for Best Cinematography, and Liu Weiqiang became the first Chinese-speaking Chinese photographer to be nominated for the Oscar. And the cinematographers of the other four films "Out of Africa", "Purple", "Mo Fei Romance", and "Witness" are not inferior to Liu Weiqiang, and he is still a pure Chinese.

Among the two nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design announced later, Phoenix Culture did not have a liar shortlisted, whether it was "Die Hard" or "Soul Catcher" and "The Silence of the Lambs", they did just a glance in both aspects, and they really couldn't find anything outstanding. At this time, Phoenix Culture is still accumulating strength in the United States, it doesn't matter if it wins awards or not, the most important thing is that the fame has to be played, the fame of the film company is not only the actors, directors, and films, these important awards, other awards are also a manifestation of strength, and even the country still pays attention to a comprehensive national strength, in fact, which line is almost the same, comprehensive strength is the most critical, which also reminds me of a person, after returning to Hong Kong, I have to find out this person as soon as possible, and give him more opportunities to exercise, In the future, you might even win an award for Best Art Direction or Costume Design.

"Die Hard" was shortlisted for Best Sound Effects, Best Editing and Best Visual Effects, while Best Sound Editing and Best Makeup were completely lost to Phoenix Culture. From these awards, you can see the strength of really large companies, "Out of Africa", "The Honor of the Pritz Family", "Back to the Future", "Runaway Train" These films are more or less nominated in these awards, and all-round healthy development is the key to what Phoenix Culture must do next.

There are two nominations later, namely Best Original Song and Best Original Score, but unfortunately Phoenix Culture's originally very competitive "Samantha" and "Taiping Mountain" and "Pretty Woman" failed to participate in this competition, so they could only pass by with these two nominations.

The four awards of Best Animated Short Film, Best Live Action Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, and Best Documentary Feature Film have little to do with general film companies, especially the current Phoenix Culture, which is far from the time to play documentaries.

The last announcement of the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, this thing is more confident, at the Golden Globe Awards, "The Silence of the Lambs" has already beaten "The Official Statement", according to the long-standing practice, it is not a big problem to beat the Argentine film again at the Oscars, plus there is unanimous praise, the possibility of winning the award is still very high.

As for the other three films, the West German film "Harvest of Wrath", the French film "Three Men and a Cradle", and the Yugoslav film "Dad Leaves Home to Work", although "Dad Leaves Home to Work" is a very flavorful film and has a certain degree of competitiveness, I believe that since this film can't compete with "Official Statement", it will be a draw at most with "The Silence of the Lambs", so the final award has to belong to "The Silence of the Lambs".

The reason is actually very simple, originally in Mo Fei's opinion, "Soul Catcher" and "The Silence of the Lambs" are almost as good, but the Golden Globe Award gave the award to the latter, and the Oscar was nominated for Best Picture, but ignored "Mind Catcher", which shows that among these two almost excellent films, the film adapted from the United States is more affirmed, so the final award is relatively clear.

When the Oscar nominations were announced, it was still late at night in Hong Kong, enough time to send the news back, and a few hours later, the "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao" announced the news that Phoenix Culture Film had been nominated for the Oscar, and the Hong Kong film industry was about to shout for a while.

However, in the list of nominees for the Hong Kong Film Awards of the same year announced a few hours after the two newspapers went on sale, the nominated projects of Phoenix Culture are almost the same as those given by the Oscars, not only the two films "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Soul Catcher" are extremely bleak, but other films of Phoenix Culture such as "Taiping Mountain", "Pretty Woman", "Angel of the Poles", "Samantha", "The Story of Ah Lang" and other Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, American Golden Globe Awards, British Academy Film Awards, Berlin Film Festival award-winning films, Almost all of them are treated equally, and none of the nominations for the five major awards of Best Picture, Director, Screenwriter, and Actor and Actress are films and actors of Phoenix Culture.

As long as you care about movies, or people who care about the Hong Kong Film Awards, you will know that there is a big problem at the Academy Awards. The Berlin Film Festival, the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars have all recognized the films, but the Hong Kong Film Awards have to be turned away, what does this mean, has the level of the Academy Awards made the highest in the world, and Hong Kong films have reached the realm of despising the sky?

Not only ordinary citizens, but even the Hong Kong entertainment industry has become a mess, others may not know about it, but industry insiders know that the Academy Awards are doing this to get along with themselves and all the filmmakers in Hong Kong. One is that he doesn't play movies anymore, and the other is that he has nothing to do with movies at all, but these two people have harmed everyone, and the Hong Kong entertainment industry is afraid that there will be a big mess.

The news soon arrived in Los Angeles, and Mo Fei was chatting with Demi Moore in the hotel room about the next arrangements for her, when the phone on the bedside rang, and it was Chen Pu's voice that picked up: "Mr. Mo, the nomination for the Academy Awards is out......"

After listening to Chen Pu, Mo Fei said that he had no pressure on this: "That's right, if they don't do this, there will be problems, this is exactly what I want to see, let the company's employees and actors be quiet, don't express any opinions on this matter, don't say a word, just let them continue to make trouble." ”

"What's the matter, looking at the way you smile, is there anything good?" Demi Moore couldn't understand Cantonese and could only judge from the man's expression.

Hearing the news, Mo Fei was very satisfied with the performance of the two, and his mood became much happier, he turned over and pressed Demi Moore underneath, ripped off the bathrobe with his big hand, and kneaded Demi Moore wantonly on his chest, "It's indeed good news, so, let's celebrate."
