Chapter 40: R-rated limited film, coming soon
The curse of the Kennedy family is no stranger to Americans, the only "royal family" in American history, and the most prominent but tragic story of the time is a long list of obituaries, some say, as a member of the Kennedy family, you should not expect to die quietly in bed......
So, the curse of the Kennedy family is like a mystery of the world, many people are interested, but no one knows the reason for it.
When the hustle and bustle of "50 First Loves" was about to gradually begin to subside, a more exciting news was revealed.
"The Kennedys spread rumors to hide the secret of the family curse."
This news gives a lot of evidence that the Kennedy family used their influence to attack the movie "50 First Loves", such as the previous news media that poured dirty water on "50 First Loves" through trumped-up charges, several of which were controlled by the Kennedy family, and these news media also stood up at the same time to denounce the movie as if they had discussed it.
Then the message also pointed out that there is a word contained in "50 First Loves", which is amnesia, which links amnesia and curses, and things suddenly become confusing.
The curse of the Kennedy family is known to almost anyone who knows American history.
In 1941, Joseph Kennedy's disabled daughter died of a failed lobotomy; In 1944, Joseph Kennedy Jr., the eldest son, Joseph Kennedy, Jr., died in a plane crash during the war; In 1948, Joseph Kennedy's second daughter, Catherine, died in a plane crash; In 1963, President Kennedy's third son died two days after he was born; In 1963, Joseph's second son, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated; In 1968, Joseph's third son, Robert, was assassinated; In 1983, Robert's son, Bobby, was sentenced for drug use; In 1984, Robert's son David died of an overdose of Fallin; In 1997, Robert's son Michael died in a skiing accident; In 1999, John's son, John F. Kennedy Jr., died in a plane crash
Ten important family members died in 56 years, such a mortality rate is really terrifying, and more importantly, this curse has been continuing, and the closest death time to now is 99 years, very close time. So, for the secret behind this curse, it can be said that almost every American is eager to know.
When the news was made public on the Internet, the craze that had just subsided was hyped again, and the news media's festival was always below the negative line, for the sake of sales, they didn't care about the real surname of the news at all, so when the online news was hyped, some media TV also reported it, and there was a local TV station that paid for a fee, which opened up a program that revealed the curse of Kennedy, not to mention, for a time this program attracted a lot of people to buy and watch.
Of course, the movie "50 First Loves", which is at the center of public opinion, has been pushed to the forefront again, and more details have been dug up little by little, such as the director is a Chinese who has never made a movie, and Leonardo and Julie Barrymore have joined with zero pay, and even the competition between Xiansen and Cook, the manager of Columbia Pictures, has been dug up.
Of course, all of this was deliberately released by Xiansen, although he did not come forward to clarify it in person, but as long as a reasonable person sees the news, it is clear that Julie Barrymore will not be the unspoken rule of a Chinese director who has not made a movie no matter what, and for this movie that can make Leonardo and others join with zero pay, so that Columbia Company will be impressed and admit that they are wrong, many people have the urge to watch it.
Under the stimulus of many parties, the craze has gradually climbed to its peak, and the whole country is discussing what this mysterious, oriental-made film is like. For the vast majority of Americans, going to the cinema is still a very common consumption. Of course, you can also understand that they don't have fast broadcasts
On February 13, 2001, the preparations for the release of the movie "50 First Loves" have been fully prepared, but one thing is beyond Xiansen's expectations, that is, the MPAA (American Film Association) rating of this movie, originally Xiansen thought that it should be PG, or PG-13, which means that 13-year-old children need to watch it accompanied by their parents. But the final score is R-rated, which is a restricted movie, and viewers under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or acknowledgement. Xiansen didn't understand and asked for the reason, he didn't think that there was violence and surnames in his movies. The answer given by the MPAA is that there are too many swear words in the movie, and besides, there are brutal scenes of violence.
After listening to such an explanation, Xiansen realized that the original MPAA is not responsible for the content but the picture
The movie will premiere in more than 1,300 theaters across the United States, a low number, and with the current popularity of "50 First Loves," almost every theater wants to get their hands on the film that could bring wealth. It's just because Margaret once again stood on the opposite side of Xiansen, of course, this time it also includes the Kennedy family, for this kind of wealthy family, illegitimate daughters are actually not very important, the important thing is that the tragedy of their own family was maliciously used by others, which is a shame, so they will use all legal means to curb Xiansen's movie, but the wealthy families have a characteristic, they never care about who provoked whom first.
"Mister, are you worried? That movie has been very popular lately. ””
Seeing Xiansen lying on the sofa thinking about something, Ruiman asked in a low voice.
Since the recording of the song that day, she moved to Xiansen's house, and then after Xiansen asked someone to secretly transfer all the things in her Los Angeles County apartment here, Ruiman also lived temporarily, and most importantly, every time she was ready to leave, Xiansen would find many reasons to keep her, these reasons were very strange, but she always couldn't refute them.
"Worried about what? Box office? ”
Xiansen asked suspiciously, to be honest, he is not worried at all now, he had also considered the box office of the movie before, but with Margaret's troublemaking and help, he didn't expect it to make the movie popular all of a sudden. He is very confident in the quality of the movie, which also makes him more confident at the box office.
Who says a small-budget movie is necessarily worse than a blockbuster? After the final cut of the movie came out, Xiansen used the right to watch that time, and compared the Silva version of the movie, how to say, these are two completely different works, but coincidentally, there are still a few places that collide together, such as the pair of sunglasses at the beginning of Henry's film.
If you insist on distinguishing between these two works, Xiansen still chooses his own film, his film is more real than Silva, which is caused by the difference in actors and the different attitudes of the director. Xiansen's requirements for movies are much more demanding than Silva's.
"I know 'Hannibal' is very popular these days, but, taking your girlfriend to a thriller on Valentine's Day? I don't think a lot of people would choose to do that, of course, those with other purposes don't count."
Although it doesn't matter so much, "Hannibal", which was released on February 9 and is known as the second part of "The Silence of the Lambs", is indeed his biggest rival in Xiansen's opinion.
