0378 【Women's Federation Ends】
The ship is about to sink in the storm, and Pie sees an animal drowning in the waves and tries to save it, but it turns out to be Richard the tiger. Pie panicked and jumped out of the boat, but with countless sharks swimming in the sea, Pie had to flee back to the lifeboat again and hang on the canvas's bow mast for the night.
The next day, it was discovered that Richard was gone, but there was an extra hyena on board, and then an orangutan floated on the sea, and the orangutan sat on a floating banana, and the orangutan was rescued.
But days passed, and Pi didn't know where the lifeboat had drifted to, and no one had come to save her.
After a long drift without anything to eat, the hyenas began to attack the orangutans and zebras and bite them to death, and the party was extremely dissatisfied with the hyena's behavior and was about to attack the hyena, but Richard suddenly rushed out from under the canvas and bit the hyena to death, and turned his head to attack Pie. Pie played dead and dodged Richard's attack. In order to avoid being eaten by Richard, Pai made himself an improvised lifeboat and tied the large and small boats together.
Sent to the big lifeboat to pick up tools while accidentally finding drinks and food. At night, Pie looks at the vast sea and weeps. At dawn, the sea was unusually calm, and the sun shining on the sea looked particularly beautiful, and the party put the distress letter into the drink bottle and let them drift on the sea, hoping that someone would pick it up and save him. Sent back to the boat to see Richard, as if seeing something in Richard's eyes, sent to pray to God.
Pai studies the ship's rescue manuals and learns to survive on his own, so that he can live as long as possible on the ship. Pie tries to coexist with Richard on a ship, but fails. The faction had no choice but to stay in his dinghy. Pie solves the problem of eating and drinking himself, and fishes for Richard to eat in order to prevent him from going hungry at the end.
One day. Richard was so hungry that he jumped into the water to catch the fish, and slowly swam to Pie's boat, who thought Richard was going to eat him and quickly fled back to the boat. Pie wants to take the opportunity to hack Richard to death with an axe, but he can't do anything when he looks into Richard's eyes. In the end, it was decided to get Richard back to the dinghy, and he went back to his dinghy and loaded all the food onto his dinghy.
When Pie finally catches a large fish, he knocks it to death with an axe, and the fish stares at it with wide eyes. Pie looked at the dead fish and wept bitterly.
"Thank you for being a fish. Saved our lives. Pie wept and thanked the gods.
As night falls, glowing blue jellyfish give the sea a mysterious aura. Suddenly, a large whale jumped out of the sea, overturned the dinghy, and fell into the sea with food and water. Pie ran out of food. He had to live with Richard.
But a storm took away all the tools that survived. The spirit of the pie is getting worse and worse. Richard is also getting thinner. Eventually, they all fainted from hunger, and when they woke up again, the boat was docked on a floating island. This is a banyan island. The sea is full of meerkats and food, and there are many small lakes in which Pie swims excitedly.
When night came, all the meerkat climbed the tree and began to rest, and Pie also fell asleep in the tree, but when he woke up in the middle of the night, Pie saw a terrible scene, the lake where he swam during the day, actually secreted an acid that corroded and devoured the fish. From afar, the island looks like a man lying on the surface of the sea, a cannibal island, pie among flowers, and human teeth have been found.
As if seeing what had happened to him, Pie decided to flee the island, and he and Richard boarded the boat and drifted alongside the sea. Soon after, they finally floated back to the real shore, the Mexican coast, and Pie, exhausted, watched Richard head toward the jungle. He thought that Richard would look back at him in this drift, living and dying together, but Richard just paused for a moment and walked into the jungle without looking back.
Pie, howling and crying.
If the story ends here, then it's nothing more than a fantasy adventure with nothing to be credited with. The film continues, and then the middle-aged party writer recalls the story of his rescue, and the Japanese steamship company comes to investigate the accident, and they want to know why the ship sank.
Pie tells them the story, but they don't believe it. Because bananas can't float on the water, orangutans can't get on a big boat with bananas. They need a reasonable explanation. So Pie told them another story, the story of four people getting on lifeboats.
One is a Chinese sailor who breaks his leg, the other is a hateful cook, the other is the mother of Pie who also floats over with a banana, and the other is Pie himself. When there is no food, the cook kills the sailor and uses the carcass of the sailor as bait for fishing, then kills Pie's mother and throws the body into the sea to feed the sharks.
Pie ends up killing the cook and drifting alone on the sea.
They believed it.
Pie asks the writer which one he believes, and the writer understands, and Pie compares himself to a tiger, a mother to an orangutan, a sailor to a zebra, and a cook to a hyena. Pie didn't say which was true, so the writer said that he believed in the story of the tiger.
At the end of the film, another shot is added, and the moment Richard walks to the jungle, Pie's smile appears in front of him, and he looks at it like this for a while, and then walks into the jungle.
The subtitles rose and everyone applauded.
"This is an unbeatable movie, Shao, Ang, this movie is so great, we have to release it in advance, we don't have to wait until next year, this year, just this year, in September, schedule it to be released in September!" Mitchell. Bruce said excitedly.
"It doesn't matter, you look at it." Shao Shuaijun suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yu, "Which kind of story do you believe?" ”
"What about you?"
"I don't believe anything."
"I believe everything."
"I can't feel it, if you really believe it, there won't be two doubts that have not been explained, why the boat sank, why bananas can't float, and how did the orangutan and his mother get on the boat." Shao Shuaijun said.
"And then, Ang, what the hell do you think?" Mitchell asked.
Li Yu smiled coquettishly: "There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand audiences, and I have already made a movie, so it's not my business to understand it." ”
"This ...... It's really full of literature and art, what do you think will happen at the box office? ”
"It's worth a try." Shao Shuaijun gave a positive opinion, "Besides, this is a movie that can be used for the Olympics (Oscars), Mitchell, you should publicize it on a large scale, and then do a good job of Oscar public relations, and strive to win a few more awards at the Oscars." ”
"Of course."
"Life of Pi" is the kind of movie that can be interpreted in countless ways, and what Li Yu is best at is making this kind of movie that can stand up to countless scrutiny. After being confirmed as Summit Entertainment's annual Olympic film, a lot of resources revolved around the Youth School, and Shao Shuaijun still buried himself in the filming of "Iron Man 3".
Occasionally, I will also take the time to supervise the production of Louis. "The Amazing Demon Thieves" directed by Lenard, or care about "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" directed by Xu Zheng, or ask about the progress of the four major magic series, and review the Marvel Cinematic Universe plan.
Time slipped away like this.
In the blink of an eye, in August, the global box office of "The Avengers" has reached $1.63 billion, second only to Cameron's "Avatar" and "Titanic", ranking third in film history. The box office in North America also reached $660 million, surpassing the $658.6 million after the 3D release of "Titanic", second only to "Avatar" with $732.4 million.
Now, the battle of the Women's Federation is still far from Japan's vote base.
Given that superheroes are not as popular as they might have been in Japan, with the likes of Thor, Captain America, and The Incredible Hulk all getting a cold reception, The Avengers deliberately avoided the Olympics and chose to be released in Japan during the summer holidays. Even so, experts are not very optimistic about the performance of the Women's Federation in Japan.
However, when the first-week box office data came out, everyone knew that it was wrong.
In the first week, 844 screens were released, and the box office collected 1,504,670,000 yen in six days from August 14 to 19, and the box office reached 608,020,000 yen over the weekend. This data is worse than the 1.5 billion in 4 days of this year's Japanese local movie "Sea Ape 4", but it also set a record for the best opening of an overseas film in Japan this year.
Far exceeded Summit Entertainment's expectations.
After all, "Thor" grossed 450 million yen in Japan, "The Incredible Hulk" 900 million yen, and "Captain America" was even more shabby, only 260 million yen. The Women's Federation is equivalent to the total box office of these three films in one week, which can be described as a big start. And the reputation in Japan is also good, "Pia Movie Life" first day satisfaction survey, the Women's Federation scored 91.2 points, becoming the highest that week, Japan Yahoo, the Women's Federation also got 3.94 points, as a commercial blockbuster, such a score is already valuable.
The path of the Women's Federation in Japan can be expected. It also did not live up to everyone's expectations, and at the end of the one-month release period, it received 5.1 billion yen in Japan, and so far, "The Avengers" has officially been drawn around the world, with a total box office of 1.67 billion US dollars, handing over an impeccable and perfect answer.
"The Avengers" ended perfectly with the third highest box office in film history, the second highest box office in North America, and a number of world records. At the same time, the original audio-visual version of "The Avengers" has also landed in the global market, and is currently available in three versions, DVD, 2D-like Blu-ray and 3D-like Blu-ray disc. The DVD includes an uncut cut version of Shao Shuaijun's feature film, and the Blu-ray Disc also features great behind-the-scenes production footage, laughing scenes, and unmissable cuts and lengthened clips, including alternate openings and endings. Enthusiasts are welcome to subscribe to the surrounding stores of Golden Harvest Entertainment. ——Summit Entertainment.
"Shao Shuaijun bluntly said that the Women's Federation is not perfect, but it is a qualified entertainment movie, and he is proud to achieve such good results." - "Variety".
"The Avengers is over, this year's superheroes, as well as "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", whether they can set off a women's federation frenzy, it is worth looking forward to!"
With the end of the blockbuster, on September 28, the Olympic film "Life of Pi" had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival. (To be continued......)
