Chapter 509: He's Dad
"I think if you have to add meaning to this film, the significance lies in the fact that it successfully educates underage girls and teenage fathers."
Jiang Xiaojun paused, pointed at Ge Guangtou and said, "Including future fathers like you." ”
"Huh?" Ge looked at him baldly.
"The movie is simple, it's exciting, and most importantly, it's a little bit of a hint." Jiang Xiaojun lowered his voice and said, "For example, it can remind those mischievous bags to listen to their father, call their father more, don't talk to strangers casually, and don't associate with classmates with bold styles." ”
Hearing him say this, Ge Guangtou couldn't help laughing.
But Jiang Xiaojun didn't seem to be joking, and said, "Those old men in the bureau should cooperate with the Ministry of Education to release this movie in various cities and middle schools across the country!" ”
"Xiaojun, you better save it." Ge Guangtou seemed to remember something, and persuaded, "Be careful that those old men make you unable to even be an actor." ”
Jiang Xiaojun showed a wry smile and simply closed his mouth.
On the screen, when Brian was going backwards at high speed by the Seine, and death struck again and again, like the light of Elysium illuminating his increasingly resolute face again and again, the audience was all moved, and the greatness of father's love was easy to understand at this moment.
Who doesn't feel nostalgic for having such a father?
Of course, in fact, every father is like this, even if they do not have the extraordinary skills of Brian, an American agent described in the play, but in the love of the child itself, in the sacrifice of the child itself, it is the same - maybe everyone's ability is different, but parents are willing to go to the trouble for the sake of the child.
The so-called gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, and the driving force is estimated to be no more than this kind of parents' love for their children.
It's an endless love, of course. There is only one kind of love in the world that is endless......
In this world, there is such a person, at a certain moment, they will transform. Sometimes, they take on the form of a gentle Santa Claus; Sometimes, they turn into omnipotent supermen; Sometimes. They look like cruel devils; Sometimes, they lick the blood from the corner of their mouths and turn around and smile.
Brian in the film? Mills is one of those people, who travels alone in a foreign country, alone in the seemingly romantic city of Paris, killing countless bastards and villains with a gun, and then tying one of them to an electric chair and torturing him. He didn't hesitate to shoot his former friend's wife, threaten the other party, and then punch him back. In the end, he relied on his professional skills. Countless corpses and seriously injured were left behind.
All this is just to save a woman, to save a young woman, to save a young woman who is the loveliest in his eyes.
Who do you say this man is?
It's simple, he's a dad! The young woman he wants to save is a daughter who is more important than his life!
Leaving the mess in Paris, Brian, with the help of his former colleagues, returned to the United States from Paris with his daughter. This is the end of the film.
There was thunderous applause in the theater, and many audience members stood up to applaud the film. Although the screening was over, Duke did not leave, and he walked into the adjacent press room, accompanied by Warner's public relations staff, to be interviewed by media reporters.
Since he was the only one in the crew, all the problems inevitably fell on Duke's head.
But. The entertainment reporters here, compared with Europe and the United States, are only in their infancy, and the questions they ask are not tricky, but more on the movies that have just ended. With Duke's experience, it's also easy to deal with.
"Director Rosenberg, what do you think is the most important part of this film?"
Hearing this question, Duke thought for a moment and said, "Directly achieve the most effective purpose of the action effect!" This is related to the work that the protagonist of the film is doing behind the background, so what the viewer sees is Brian nimbly sweeping through all obstacles. ”
A reporter stood up under the host's roll call and asked, "When you were filming "The Matrix", you successfully introduced Chinese kung fu to Hollywood, and set off a kung fu craze in North America, but the fighting skills used by Brian in the film are obviously not kung fu. ”
"It's really not kung fu."
Duke, of course, would not say that kung fu has begun to cause aesthetic fatigue in North America, and casually said, "Every actor has his own way of acting and moving, and my action direction team, according to the actor Liam? Nissen's own characteristics have tailored his current fighting style, Liam? Neeson also had a lot of training because I wanted him to do the action of the film as much as he could. ”
"Of course, I'm not going to let him jump off the bridge or crash into a car." "But Liam has a lot of fight scenes, so it takes a lot of time to rehearse. It was very strict for him, because I didn't want the action to be reflected in the frame too quickly. In fact, Liam has really gotten tougher in the game. ”
There was a burst of laughter, Liam? Although Neeson is not a Hollywood A-list star, he is no stranger to people here.
Then, another reporter asked, "We noticed the inner struggle of the male protagonist in the horrific torture scene in the film, how did you manage this scene?" ”
"The scene was really tense and scary when it was filmed." After a moment's consideration, Duke said, "In the film, Brian starts thinking after he finds out that his daughter's best friend has been overdosed to death. He learns the darkest side of things, and his instinct as a father sweeps away all his worries and repressions. Therefore, I think this scene is needed to make him lose his mind. ”
"Duke, in your experience, Liam? Will Neeson be in the spotlight because of this film? ”
"Liam has always been in the public spotlight." "I used to close off the scene for him, and he didn't like to be disturbed by some 'fanatical' behavior at work. It's going to make it hard for him to get into the role, and he's a great charismatic actor, which is a big reason why I chose him. ”
"Also, Liam's temperament is perfect for the role of Brian, and I can't imagine anyone else playing Brian. Liam's personality and conditions are quite remarkable - 1.95 meters tall, but at the same time very sensitive. When you meet him, you don't think he's militant, but you can feel a certain potential beneath his cold exterior. ”
Finally, a male reporter stood up and said in a joking tone, "Director Rosenberg, when I was just sitting in the theater watching a movie, I suddenly had a feeling that this film was a living warning, and even thought, if the director wants to make such a film, is it because his daughter is disobedient, so my father made such a film to scare her fiercely?" ”
As soon as the question came up, the whole press room laughed, and Duke laughed too, and he could tell it was a good-natured joke.
He also joked, "If I say it's a movie made specifically for middle school girls all over the world, would you believe it?" ”
There was another burst of laughter in the press room.
This is the end of the interview, Duke quickly left Shanghai Cinema, according to the time calculation, the North American release time is not far away, and he has to go back to maintain active contact with the North American side.
The day after its release, Duke saw a lot of reviews about "Hurricane Rescue" in many local newspapers, and it was generally good.
"The storyline of the film is still old-fashioned, and the lone hero is resourceful and athletic, going deep into the tiger's den and killing the bad guys. But the placement of the emotional core and the establishment of the relationship between the characters make this movie look new, not only with exciting and fiery action scenes to feed your eyes, but also with secret, subtle, moisturizing and silent emotional scenes to tease your heart. ”
In addition, the film is worth mentioning for its well-controlled rhythm, extremely textured pictures, and excellent psychological creation. Duke? Director Rosenberg, as always, has created an excellent commercial blockbuster, which allows people to not only hold popcorn and be refreshed by the energetic sound, but also drop two lines of tears and walk out of the theater thoughtfully. ”
"All in all, it's a masterpiece not to be missed."
Now that he has come to Shanghai, some events, especially those related to Warner and movies, Duke inevitably needs to attend, which is also the main purpose of his visit, to lay the foundation for the future, at least to get acquainted with the media, the audience and the departments related to the film industry here.
Duke has attended two formal banquets held by China Film Group and the Shanghai Municipal Government, but he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he knows very well that the nerves of some departments here are too sensitive.
There's still quite a lot of work to do in North America, and Duke can't afford to stay here for a long time, so after the two formal dinners, he is ready to go on the last two events according to the schedule that has been laid out earlier.
One is to be interviewed on TV, and the other is to give a speech at Fudan University.
Because he didn't want to go north, and because of the nature of the TV station, Duke turned down an invitation from a TV station with the largest audience and chose a relatively personal program.
Of course, this show also has a large audience, and it has a certain influence in Asia.
That's right, among the many TV invitations, Duke chose Yang Lan's interview, the other party has the experience of studying in the United States and working in North America, knows the political and social situation on both sides, and is in Tina? In the communication between Fei and her, she also happily agreed that the topic of the interview was basically within the scope of the movie, and would not involve messy sensitive content such as politics and human rights.
On Monday afternoon, Duke walked into the interview room of Sunshine TV and was interviewed by Chinese media for the first time in his life. (To be continued......)
