Chapter 712 Scene 712 The soul of the movie
What does it mean for Li Xiaole to climb to this height? This means that joining "Life of Pi" has the potential to achieve a double harvest at the box office and artistically, which means that Black Pearl has nothing to do with losing "The Avengers", as long as he is here, he can develop endless new themes, new movies that make fans scream and critics open their mouths.
All the companies under the Black Pearl Alliance, such as Century Cinemas, Lionsgate, and Summit Entertainment, will trust Li Xiaole and firmly attach themselves to him, the king of the film world......
While Canon was trembling, another story suddenly appeared at the seemingly bland ending of the screen, when a Japanese insurance company came to verify the pie's story.
In order to convince them, Pie tells another story, and the drifting story is not much different from the one you see, except that all the animals have been replaced by people, and cruel cannibalism has been staged between people.
"The cook is the hyena, the sailor is the zebra, your mother is the orangutan, and you...... It's a tiger ......."
Hearing this story, everyone in the theater was stunned, and suddenly there was a chilling feeling, just a few words, suddenly turned a fantasy journey into a cold and cruel story......
The middle-aged pie on the screen seemed to be looking at everyone in the theater: "Can I ask you a question?" ”
"Of course."
"I told two versions of this story at sea, neither of which explained the cause of the shipwreck, and no one could prove their truth or falsehood, and in both stories, the ship sank, and I lost my family and was tormented...... So which story do you prefer? ”
This second story is very short, but this finishing touch of the second brother story makes this movie completely metamorphose to another level!!
Until the last few minutes, no matter how well the original novel was written and the movie was made, it was just a first-class story of survival in the sea, just to show the brilliance of faith.
But the second story makes this survival not so simple, it transitions to the boundaries that can be reached by testing human nature, and the theme of this story really hits the core of survival.
In the end, Pie also survived, do you want to believe that Pie is the man-eating tiger who survives with the greatest evil? Or do you believe that the brilliance of faith allows Pai to work miracles?
Does the human psyche possess that bright and calm inner strength, or is it a cruel and vicious beastly nature?
This question is in front of everyone~
The soft, ethereal music at the beginning of the film begins again, and Pi smiles in a boat in the middle of the sea, while the tiger slowly walks into the lush jungle where he belongs...... Fade away......
The screen gradually went black, and in the calming Indian chant, the subtitles were played: "Producer, Director, Script Adaptation: Li Xiaole" At the same time as the subtitles were lit up, the lights of the audience slowly lit up, and in those few seconds, everyone was still unsatisfied, no one stood up, but they were all sitting in their seats thinking about something.
Tom Cruise, Wagner, and George Clooney's mood has returned to the real world from this fantasy journey, and the mood immediately became tense, what's going on, why no one has reacted, isn't this movie good? They each looked at each other with worry in their eyes......
Li Xiaole had already stood up at this time and walked out, and the people from the Black Pearl Company could only follow with feeling, and the scene was still quiet......
Suddenly, the director of "The Godfather", who had been silent, stood up, Li Xiaole, Tom Cruise, Wagner, George Clooney, everyone stopped and looked over expectantly, and saw a serious Coppola raised his hands to look in the direction of Li Xiaole, and applauded gently.
At this time, everyone began to slowly return to reality from their inner thoughts, and they saw that more than 300 people in the entire theater stood up in the dark, and everyone's hands clapped vigorously.
The dense applause like waves of "Papa~" was wave after wave, like the most beautiful melody in the world, and all the filmmakers present used this action to pay the highest respect to the Black Pearl Company for making such a great work, and the applause lasted for 5 minutes~~
No one arranged, no one organized it, and everyone in the filmmaker felt a surging excitement in their hearts at the moment, encouraging themselves to do it, to applaud this movie!
For two hours the next year, they experienced a fantastical journey like no other, and they felt the splendor of the new faith that the filmmakers believed in conveying.
The first thing people feel after watching it is that the reporter who interviewed Pai in the film said "Idontknowwhattosay" after listening to Pai's story (I don't know what to say).
Touched and shocked not in a certain moment, but the soul from beginning to end there is no moment of peace, these two hours contain too much content, let you enjoy and make you crazy, when you are quiet, that unprecedented calm hits, and there are too many emotions.
A 16-year-old boy, a tiger, a lifeboat, a vast ocean - the story is simple and simple; The three religions are intertwined, the power of faith, dream meditation, sometimes you think about your own life, sometimes follow Pie to experience that fantasy drift in the sea, you will not be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy on the side of your own heart.
But no matter what state you are in, you can still feel the shock of your heart, even if you are a picky filmmaker, you will still cry and laugh, and you will still feel extremely shocked by this movie.
The filmmakers applauded, not just because of the movie itself, but for Li Xiaole's incomparable courage~!!
Today, when the wave of Hollywood movies is moving towards pure commercial and good storytellers, ordinary people can't imagine the excitement of filmmakers after watching this movie. Pie Crusoe may not be able to convince everyone here of the existence of God, but this movie will make you believe in the movie again!!
This is not only the picture, special effects and soundtrack are the ultimate beauty, it is as simple as shaping the movie into a "work of art" appearance, what makes people really moved is the precious, brilliant and brilliant light of great human emotions~!
After "Titanic", "Jurassic Park", and "Star Wars", people believe that big scenes, wonderful plots, and eye-catching star actors are the future of movies~~!
But after watching this movie, Li Xiaole stood up arrogantly and told them all here! What a big scene, what a wonderful plot! What a star! It's all about monetizing respect and belief in movies!
He let every heart here float in that vast, turbulent and gentle sea of movies under the clouds, and he looked down on all of them like a god in Pi who never showed up, but was always there, and told them, what is a movie? This is the movie~~~!
Film critics, directors, and producers all poured up, surrounding Li Xiaole, Tom Cruise, cheering, and excitedly shouting speech, which instantly overwhelmed them, "It's amazing~~ Director Li." "It's an unbeatable piece." "Thank you for washing my soul." "This movie is the best story I've ever seen~! Long live Richard Peck~! ”
Crowded in the center by the crowd, Li Xiaole looked at the excited faces from the heart, listened to their cheers, let them pat their shoulders excitedly, hugged themselves excitedly, and suddenly felt that everything around him became in slow motion, he looked back at Tom Cruise and found that he was shouting something excitedly, while Wagner, the strong woman next to him, was also excitedly wiping tears on the side in the corner.
They were surrounded, applauded and congratulated by Spielberg, George Lucas, Coppola, the best directors in the world, and hugged by the film critics and producers who had mocked them countless times, Li Xiaole looked at the 'sworn enemies' who gave him a headache when he just landed in the United States, and at this moment he was moved, conquered, and excited by his own movies, when the great happiness brought by these scenes of success in front of him came, this overflowing satisfaction was so wonderful that he couldn't describe it. He smiled and shook hands with everyone, hugged him, and let his excited peers pat him on the shoulder, enjoying this incomparably beautiful moment.
Tears, laughter, screams, and the emotions of the people who have been suppressed for a long time in the Black Pearl Company have exploded, and everyone is roaring and roaring in their hearts~! Youth Pi succeeded~! We did it~!! Black Pearl Company has succeeded~~!!!!
Outside the cheering crowd, Brad Gray, the president of Paramount, moved his fat body to get out of the crowd, but he couldn't squeeze through the crowd, he suddenly felt the vigorous strength of the people on the scene, and he felt that Li Xiaole's influence was slowly forming as the CEO of a big studio far beyond them.
Looking helplessly at the cheering crowd, Brad Gray saw the flying face of Tom Cruise, who was swept out of the house by him, and suddenly felt a deep chagrin in his heart, why would he let a person like him go out to establish the Black Pearl Company? If he keeps him, then Li Xiaole will never be able to have such huge resources to shoot such a shocking movie.
And Canon collapsed in his seat, looking at all this powerlessly, he felt for the first time that Li Xiaole had a power beyond all of them imagined, and no matter how big the capital he had, he couldn't shake it, the majestic power of film art......
"Fool, don't get up yet." Coke, who was in a gloomy mood, shouted coldly beside him, also looked over there, gritted his teeth like a curse and read: "It's not over yet, what's the use of a good movie, the quality of the box office can determine all this." ”
