Section 81 Opening the Painting

"Six movie tickets, thank you."

Standing at the door of the movie theater, when Jack paid for his friends' movie tickets, he couldn't help but raise his head and stare at the poster in front of him with an admiring look.

It's December 5th, and the eavesdropping storm is finally released. This is the first time Jack has participated in such a large investment movie, and it is also the first time he has more than ten lines to say in a movie, although he is not the protagonist yet, but such a scene has made him quite excited.

Only with a successful start will there be a glorious future. This drama itself is only a supporting role, maybe the next movie itself can have more scenes? Look up at the big poster, the black poster is divided into two, the upper half is the big avatar of Wiesler with headphones eavesdropping, and the lower half is the hug of the other two protagonists in the room, maybe, next time, even if he can't have a huge avatar like Kevin Spacey on the poster, at least like the two people below, at least have the opportunity to show up, right?

Jack has always wanted to be famous, and that idea hasn't changed since the day he came to Hollywood. Especially with the success of Mystery Company, several friends have begun to have their own careers, and the desire to become a star has become stronger and stronger.

With this longing, he forced a few of his friends to watch the movie. Compared with him, among these people, there are more important people: the director, actress, screenwriter, and editor of the movie are all here, but if it is said that the interest is the highest, then no one can compare with him. "Tickets have been bought...... Oh, Alex! Can't you just stop talking on the phone for a while? I know you're busy all this time, but you can't spare 2 hours to watch a movie with us? This is the movie I starred in. ”

"It's also a film released by our company -- I'll have to watch how the movie does at the box office." Alexander grumbled, with a look of displeasure on his face. At such an important moment as the release of the movie, as the person in charge of the film company, he did not wait for the news of the box office in the company, and went to the cinema to watch the movie. ”

"Watching a movie in a movie theater is not the same." Levy said with a smile on the side, while following Jack's footsteps and walking inside, "But Jack, you are too anxious, Charlie is still the starring, she is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" ”

"Am I the same as her? She is a beauty, and she will be loved by the audience no matter what. At the time of the test screening, the media was already full of praise for her, and it didn't mean much to the audience. I'm a man, a male star who doesn't have an audience, and I'm very miserable. ”

Looking at Theron, who was snuggled up to Levy, Jack said with some depression.

In the process of becoming famous, there are so many channels for women to be better than men. Especially those beautiful women, there are always a lot of opportunities. The eavesdropping storm sent to the media for a small test screening, which immediately caused a sensation, and when the media dubbed the film "Movie of the Year", "Deep Reflection on Human Nature", "Deep Reflection on Human Society", etc., Theron's beauty also attracted attention. Others don't know, but Jack knows very well: there are already many companies contacting Theron to wait until after the movie to let her endorse her products.

Jack doesn't have such good luck, if he wants to become famous, he still has to rely on his acting skills.

It's a pity that after the test screening, people's box office estimates are not so optimistic. Kevin Spacey is not a very popular actor at the box office, and several other leading actors and directors are newcomers, although the film has been well received by critics, but how much box office can it get in front of the audience? It's still hard to say.

At least many media outlets believe that the film will not be a big hit.

A good movie is not necessarily a movie that makes a lot of money: the Los Angeles confidential movie released in the summer is also considered to be a top good movie, but the investment of that movie is 35 million, but the final box office is only 60 million.

Women don't have to worry about box office revenues, but men can't, and if they are nicknamed box office poison, it's hard to do anything. Not to mention, after the Batman released this summer fell sharply, the starring George Clooney suffered Waterloo all of a sudden, and after the failure of starring in a commercial blockbuster, he could only transform into a literary film. That's Clooney, known as the most handsome man, and he is far from him.

"I don't expect the movie to make much money, as long as it doesn't lose money......" Jack muttered as he walked behind Levy.

"Are you done with all your nonsense?" Clark made a gesture to shut up the group: a few people had already walked into the movie theater, and it was quite rude to watch a movie in the theater and talk loudly.

Jack stopped talking, he raised his head and scanned the audience, the time was about to start, and he found that the attendance rate of the movie was quite good, at least in the entire movie theater, seventy percent of the seats were already full, such an attendance rate was already very good for a movie like Eavesdropping Storm.

Perhaps, the box office is not as bad as people think?

As Jack pondered, the lights in the screening room suddenly dimmed. The screen in front of him lit up, and the Universal logo appeared on it, which also made Jack suddenly interested.

The movie begins.

The station logo faded, and a line of text appeared on the black screen.

"During the GDR, people lived under the watchful eye of Stasi. An intelligence network of 100,000 employees and 200,000 people ensures that the organization knows everything. ”

The subtitles are very short, only one sentence, but this sentence is enough to introduce a lot of things. The subtitles faded and the footage began to appear.

At the beginning of the movie, it is a dim corridor, the police grab the prisoner's arm, and walk in the corridor, on both sides of the corridor, there are exactly the same wooden doors, and there is no second sound except for the sound of shoes.

The two men walked down the hallway for a few seconds, and just when the monotonous sounds and images were a little tiresome, the two men stopped.

"Stop, bow your head!" At the policeman's words, the prisoner lowered his head, and at this moment, at the end of the camera, a man walked through the front of the hallway - this was to keep the secret from seeing Stasi's internal staff.

It was chilling to see this scene in the dark surroundings of the movie theater - Jack found that this movie was far better than he had imagined.

"Sit down, put your hands on the chair with your palms down." Although the prisoner walked into the room, in the interrogation room, Wiesler's voice sounded without the slightest wave, opening the film.

Immediately, there is a cross-shot, two different scenes, on the one hand, Wiesler is interrogating the prisoner, and on the other hand, Wiesler is explaining the main points of the interrogation to the students.

Immediately, the following actions also illustrate this point. Wiesler is teaching the students how to analyze whether a prisoner is lying or not, and how to destroy the prisoner's will.

In this paragraph, the filming performance is impeccable. He is very cold and quite stereotyped. He has been acting in crime-related movies for the past two years, and he has his own understanding and analysis of this aspect, and he performs the image of a cold-blooded agent exactly the same. It's not just him, even the people sitting in the interrogation room and being tried are just as secretly applauded.

"I've said it all, I've really said it all......" The actor was already in tears on the chair.

It was so good, Levy said in his heart. The actor in the movie, in order to play this role well, really asked the crew to not sleep for 48 hours in a row under the bright light, and experienced the fatigue and pain of the interrogators.

This actor named Michael Fassbender is young, but he definitely works hard.

"What did you do that day...... was still a fairly calm question, and then, without any emotion, the narrative rang out, "If you insist, you will be arrested, your wife will be arrested as well, and your two daughters will be sent to an orphanage......"

The continued increase made the prisoner collapse, and Wiesler got the information he wanted. Then, in the amazement of the students, he did not get complacent, but continued to explain how to keep the scent bottle so that the prisoner could be arrested later.

Seeing such a class, the audience who watched the movie also began to have some commotion.

Obviously, through this teaching process, the image of Whistler as a cold, ruthless, shrewd, and capable secret police officer has become very clear.

At the beginning, there is only one protagonist in the whole five minutes, but it is said that the progress is extremely slow. However, this beginning is definitely worth it.
