Chapter 761
In the second week of the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", the North American box office accumulated more than 80 million US dollars, which may be much worse than films such as "Baby Zhiduoxing" and "Ghost Love", but the attendance rate has not fallen, and with the extension of the release time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Shawshank Redemption has also received more and more positive reviews, although it may not make everyone go to the cinema to watch the movie. But the movie's attendance has never fallen. Always keep it above 70%.
With the popularity of "The Shawshank Redemption", the person that American journalists most want to interview is naturally Chen Jie, who is a film director. But it's a pity that Chen Jie is not in the United States at this time. So the reporters had to settle for the next best thing and began to interview some of the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption". Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks, as the male protagonists of this film, were naturally the first targets to be interviewed. These two people have been very proud during this time, especially Morgan Freeman. has been an actor for more than ten years and has always been a supporting role, this movie can be said to be Morgan Freeman's first film in which he played the leading role, but he didn't expect Morgan Freeman to enjoy the feeling of being an instant hit.
"Honestly, I really want to thank Jerry. I've been in acting for more than a decade. This is the first time I've played the lead role! And it's such a brilliant protagonist. I have to thank Jerry for giving me the opportunity to play the role of Red, I really enjoyed the role. Also, I have to say that Jerry is really a director like no other. The feeling of working with him is different from that of working with any director! I don't say this because Jerry chose me as the protagonist, I believe that all the crew members of "The Shawshank Redemption", even if it is a trick, will feel the same way as me! We've only worked together on one film, but in my heart Jerry is the best director. I look forward to working with Jerry in the future! Morgan Freeman said in an interview with reporters.
"I'm glad Jerry only made two American films, and I had a role in both of them! Jerry is my Bole. Although I was nominated for an Oscar this year, one thing you can't deny is that I'm actually just a newcomer. But Jerry didn't despise me because of this, on the contrary, he always guided me on the right path when I was confused! God, I can't believe he's only 22 years old, even six years younger than me. But if you despise him for that, it must be the stupidest thing in the world. To be honest, I know it's unlikely, but I really want to keep working with Jerry! Tom Hanks told reporters.
The two leading actors gave their directors high praise, but this could not satisfy the reporters, who interviewed the film's assistant director, the well-known Hollywood director Richard Donner! You know, Richard Donner has been famous for many years. And this great director is not used to others, I think he was scolded by him even when Gregory Pike was scolded! If you're unfamiliar with the name Gregory Peck, you might have some impression of Roman Holiday. Gregory Pike is the male protagonist in "Roman Holiday".
"The first thing I want to say is that Jerry is really talented. And the way he dealt with the problem was a bit different from our conventional view, which made me have some opinions about him when I first started filming "The Shawshank Redemption". But his approach proved to be really effective. Even he was able to mobilize the enthusiasm of the entire crew, which is one of the reasons why we were able to shoot "The Shawshank Redemption" in less than two months. Although I had some opinions about Jerry at first, I couldn't help but integrate into the group myself. As for Morgan's statement that Jerry is the best director. I have to say that in some academic places, Jerry's directing technique may not be perfect. But in some ways, Jerry does deserve the title of best director. At the very least, he's definitely the director that all actors want to work with, because even if you're just a showman, Jerry will make you feel respected! This is also what Morgan said feels like Jerry is different from other directors. Richard said in an interview.
Everyone didn't expect that even Richard Donner's evaluation of Chen Jie would be so high, especially the key word 'respect' that appeared in Richard Donner's words, although this word is very common, the list can say a lot of things. In the United States, the word straight is really sensitive, because the United States is a country composed of many races, not only whites, blacks, but also Indians, Chinese and other races. It is precisely because of this that the U.S. government attaches so much importance to racial discrimination. However, although the law clearly prohibits it, racial discrimination in the United States is still repeatedly prohibited. At most, everyone doesn't say it on the surface, and behind the scenes, it's still what it should be. There is no basic respect at all, so when the word came out of Richard Donner's mouth, everyone was shocked. Chen Jie's fans once again pushed Chen Jie's prestige to a peak. People who don't know Chen Jie are also curious, what kind of director can make a dragon actor feel respected? So one after another, they walked into the cinema to watch the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", which made the box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" exceed $150 million in the third week of release. It's up faster than the second week. After Chen Jie heard the news in Hong Kong, a stone hanging in his heart was finally put down. However, the same Chen Jie is also curious, what height can the box office performance of the unburied "The Shawshank Redemption" reach? Chen Jie really can't say this result, there are very few commercial elements in the movie "The Shawshank Redemption"! The exact height of what can be achieved can only be known after the film is drawn. In this regard, Chen Jie really has a little bit of expectation in his heart.
Hong Kong's "True Colors of Heroes 2" was finally drawn, and although it received a lot of scolding, the box office still reached 28 million Hong Kong dollars. Fortunately, when "True Colors of Heroes 2" was drawn, the news that "The Shawshank Redemption" was selling again in the United States came back, which made many people who wanted to scold Wu Yusen and Xu Ke pick up a bargain. But it's a pity that Chen Baixiang finally returned to Hong Kong a week ago, which made Chen Jie finally get out of the sea of suffering, so when they surrounded Chen Jie's house again, Chen Jie once again chose to close the door, which made the reporters very helpless!
