Chapter 120: The Nasty and the Excited
The film gradually came to an end, the federal president on the screen stood in the dawn and gave a generous speech, the audience in the theater was so excited that they couldn't help themselves, but Roger Albert shook his head, the film was full of simple and crude sensationalism from beginning to end, the biggest selling point was very realistic special effects, and the family relationship analyzed earlier could also resonate with the audience, but he just couldn't like it!
Dazzled by the fire of the explosion, shocked by the loud bang to the point of tinnitus, and disgusted by the vulgar plot to the point of wanting to vomit, Roger Albert endured and analyzed it for a while, full of disgust for this film, which caused the audience to cheer and the whole theater to boil, made him extremely disgusted.
"July 4 will no longer be America's National Day...... Today, we are celebrating Independence Day! ”
In the sound of the theater, applause and cheers rang out, and the audience in the theater erupted into even greater applause and cheers, as if they wanted people all over the world to hear and see their excitement.
Although he is a standard American citizen, Roger Albert, who thinks he is by no means vulgar, has endured this vulgar behavior of currying favor with American audiences and making them pay a lot of money in their own pockets, and the eyebrows hidden behind his glasses are almost wrinkled into a knot!
He stood up slowly, his eyes wandering around, and then walked out of the theater, looking back as he went, because this was Chicago, the city he had the most influence!
However, 99% of the audience in the theater was agitated by the film, and under the excitement of comfort, who would care about the reaction of the film critics, until Roger Albert walked out of the theater, not only did no one follow his footsteps, but he didn't even glance at the back.
Standing at the door of the theater, Roger Albert glanced in again, and all the audience was watching the movie, as if no one remembered that he had greeted the famous film critic before the film started, and no one saw that he had left the theater early.
Even in the city of Chicago, audiences pay far more attention to the film itself than to film critics!
Roger Albert was a little annoyed by the sudden discovery of this, which is the most intolerable point of successful people - being ignored!
In the theater of New York, the fragments of alien spaceships falling from the sky are as gorgeous as meteors, and the whole world is celebrating this joint victory on Independence Day, but the face of film critic David Denby has a deep disdain!
In his eyes, this is a standard super bad movie, with no depth of thought, no humanistic care, no soothing and gentle narrative rhythm, no scenes of actors competing with each other's acting skills, and no scenes that can leave him with good memories, just explosions and a collection of past Hollywood vulgar episodes!
With his hands on his chest, David Denby sat on a chair and looked at the screen coldly, as if he wanted to show his disdain completely, and wanted to drive the audience around him.
However, contrary to his appearance, almost everyone in the theater stood up and spontaneously clapped their palms, eager to give the most enthusiastic applause for the film, which was mixed with cheers, even for people with ear problems, I am afraid that they can hear it.
The audience is cheering for "Independence Day"!
As a member of the Lauder Group and one of the future heirs, controlling her feelings is the most basic element, but at this moment, Erin Lauder doesn't care about the obscene and strange bald head who seems to be sulking next to her, clapping her palms vigorously, and shouting cheers in her mouth, this is the most outgoing of her love in more than a year, and it seems that all the excitement and pressure accumulated have been stimulated by "Independence Day"!
Anna was a little calmer than Irene, and although there was no applause in her mouth, her palms never stopped.
"Vulgar, disgusting!"
The applause gradually faded, and Erin's ears caught the voice ringing next to her, "Such a bad movie is worth applauding?" What a vision! Now the audience is all depraved! ”
Bad movie? Vulgar?
Erin blinked, and the bald head next to her seemed to be scolding the movie that had just ended, and by the way, they were also scolding the audience who liked the movie.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" She turned her head and stared at the bald head.
"What's going on?" Anna grabbed her and asked.
"He's scolding Independence Day!"
The situation here instantly attracted the attention of the people around her, Erin's eyes widened, and she said extremely slyly, "And scolded the people who applauded "Independence Day" just now for being vulgar and disgusting!" ”
As soon as her crisp words fell, more than a dozen knife-like gazes around her fell on David Dambi.
David Denby is not flustered at all, but unusually calm, he is a well-known figure in the New York film critics, and he still thinks he is very influential.
"I'm David Denby, a film critic for The New Yorker." He said unhurriedly, "I ......"
"What happened to the critics?"
Before David Denby could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a young man in his twenties, "You can not like a film, but don't insult those who like it!" ”
"That's it!" Someone immediately chimed in, "Film critics are stupid people who ridicule directors and actors for being fools, but they don't know that they are fools!" ”
"Film critics? What happened to the film critics? Can film critics just talk nonsense? ”
"Don't think you have a better vision than we do, what kind of are all those films you are touting!"
"FUC@K, I actually scolded "Independence Day"!"
Among them seems to be patriotic youth, "Do you know that this film is promoting the importance of America? Or do you think patriotism should be scolded? ”
Seeing the excitement of the surrounding audience, Erin quietly made a triumphant gesture to Anna, pulled her out of the aisle from the other side, walked out of the theater, and glanced back, the confident film critic was obviously overestimating himself, and was being washed with saliva by dozens of ordinary fans.
Walking out of the theater and down the bustling streets of the Upper East Side, Erin took Anna's arm and suddenly asked, "Is the film really vulgar?" I think it's very interesting, even if it's a little too sensational, the president's speech can be very emotional. ”
"That's where Dukr Rosenberg comes in."
Anna pulled Erin, and the two walked towards the parking lot, "This section is indeed full of Great Americanism, but do you see the reaction of those people in the theater?" The audience loves these! ”
"I like it too." Erin answered.
"Before making a movie, it is necessary to locate the target audience, which is the most important ability that a director should have." Anna explained in detail, "No film can please everyone, unless it is only filmed for yourself, and before the director makes a film, he must abide by one principle - it must serve a certain type of people!" ”
Seeing Erin nodding, Anna continued, "Dukr Rosenberg is a director in Hollywood, of course, he has to please the audience in the United States first, who pays for the movie first?" -- Audiences across the United States. Not Japan, Europe. Presumably he also knows very well that movies that are sensational in North America can often sell well in overseas markets. ”
"I feel that if 'Independence Day' can be a big hit, Great Americanism will be one of the reasons for its success."
After listening to her friend's analysis, Erin blinked her eyes and said playfully, "Then use the sensationalism of Great America to completely eliminate the box office in the world resolutely, cleanly, and completely!" ”
"The big hit of the film has nothing to do with us." Anna shrugged.
"I'm very happy that my favorite movie can sell well and more people like it." Erin said of course, "I love the work of director Dukro Senberg, whose films always bring joy and bring the most simple entertainment. ”
In the Los Angeles City Theater, Sarah crossed her arms to her chest and held her chin with one hand, quickly filtering the plot in her mind while the two male protagonists were planting viruses and chatting and farting in the alien spaceship.
This is a very simple film, the plot is clear in one scene, and it does not give the audience any chance to think.
On July 2, the eve of Independence Day in the United States, a surveillance station in New Mexico discovered that a huge spacecraft that had reached hundreds of miles was approaching the earth, and the signal sent by the spacecraft interfered with the signals of the earth's communication satellites, which attracted the special attention of the authorities.
Subsequently, the alien fleet actually surrounded the earth in a big way, and the spacecraft released 36 sub-ships with a diameter of 15 miles to fly over the major cities on the earth, and the people of the world felt confused and frightened, but there were also people who wanted to welcome the arrival of alien friendly messengers.
Davy, a computer engineer, discovers that the alien signal is actually a countdown to the attack, and Davy manages to inform his wife, Connie, who is a White House spokesman.
The government tried to contact the aliens, but there was no response, and the president was so worried that after learning of the message that David had brought, he hurriedly ordered the evacuation, but it was too late.
On July 3, the alien spacecraft began to launch a deadly attack on several large cities in the United States, and in an instant, humanity suffered a huge blow and disaster.
With the assistance of computer expert David and black Air Force pilot Steve, the earthlings launched a comprehensive counteroffensive against aliens, and the president personally flew fighter jets to the front line, and finally used computer viruses to lift the unbreakable protective shield of alien spacecraft and eliminate the enemies of all mankind in one fell swoop!
At the same time, it is also an extraordinarily complex film, with a staggering scale of special effects and a staggering level of realism, and director Duke Rosenberg has fulfilled his promise to get out of California and blow up all over the country.
Sarah interviewed the young director, and what he is best at is big scenes and big productions, and every film always has to get the city ruined and the sky falling apart......
The movie "Independence Day" simply took what he does best to the extreme.
What does it mean to be sensational? Speech before Independence Day, the President of the Federation personally went into battle! What is heroic? The White House was blown to pieces in an instant, inspiring the spirit of resistance of all mankind! What is sacrifice? For the sake of his children, his father drove a fighter plane and crashed into an alien spaceship without hesitation!
