As Jiang Peng thought, "The Shawshank Redemption" won four awards in Germany, which is known for its stereotypes, and it also made discerning European journalists regard it as an immortal work of Hollywood.

Sun Ziming shook hands, hugged, and greeted those big stars, and he was also lamenting the reality of the entertainment industry in his heart. "Lame Hao" won the Venice Golden Bear Award, and several movies made in the United States, each of which did well at the box office, and "Rush Hour" even won last year's box office champion. As soon as he revealed that he was going to make a film starring a white man, his big-star neighbors came to cheer him on.

When the guests, reporters, film critics, and fans filled the screening hall with 1,200 people, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and "The Shawshank Redemption" began.

Through the faint light of the hall, Sun Ziming has been paying attention to the reactions of ordinary fans, and seeing that as the story unfolds, guests, film critics, and fans begin to be attracted to this movie, and their hearts completely put down the stone.

This is a movie that requires the audience to be patient and savor, it has no grand scenes, diversified plot settings, and in terms of film progress and plot setting, it has almost no particularly fierce confrontation and conflict.

This movie is presented with a step-by-step plot from beginning to end, and is completed with the explanation of the male number two Red. But it is such a gentle movie, but it resonates with the audience's heart in a calm and sharp way all the time. Therefore, the contradictions and confrontations of this film arise in the hearts of the characters and the hearts of the audience, and convey the theme of this film to the audience in a lasting and profound way.

This is the reason why "The Shawshank Redemption", even if it is another twenty years, will still endure.

One hundred and forty-two minutes passed slowly, and the people in the screening room were happy and sad with the movie. Finally, when the two inmates meet on a sunny Mexican beach, the lights in the screening room are on, and the audience wakes up from a dream and remembers that they should applaud this great movie.

In everyone's applause, the main creative members of the crew walked onto the stage and bowed to the guests, reporters, film critics, and fans to thank them.

In the applause, the main creative staff thanked the guests and walked to the interview room prepared by the theater. Hundreds of reporters packed the small interview room, and after asking Fa Ge, the double actor of the three major European film festivals, a few questions, the reporter aimed all his firepower at Sun Ziming, who made him make a film like "Shawshank"?

"Ming, "Deutsche Zeitung" ranked "The Shawshank Redemption" in the top three Hollywood classics, what do you think?"

Sun Ziming had a wry smile on his face, in the history of Hollywood for more than 80 years, classic films are as bright as stars, how can today's films be compared with yesterday's?

The reporter continued to persevere, and Sun Ziming had no choice but to follow their words, "The Godfather", "Gone with the Wind", and "Modern Times" and other classic films, all of which focus on reflecting social reality, have become the insurmountable peak of their time. ”

After a pause, Sun Ziming sighed: "Personally, "The Shawshank Redemption" is my perception in prison. There, I thought about humanity, freedom, life, and friendship, which led to the Shawshank Redemption. Once again, I would like to thank Mr. Stephen King, whose novel inspired me to turn my personal insights into a wonderful story. ”

Although "Shawshank" has just moved these reporters, they eat on topics, and Sun Ziming mentioned "The Godfather", and they will not miss the opportunity to compare the two.

"Ming, your movies have always been synonymous with high returns and high box office, can you predict the box office? In Hollywood, classic films will be blockbusters, do you think "Shawshank" can surpass "The Godfather" at the box office? ”

As soon as the reporter's words fell, everyone looked at him like a fool, and the kid added with a red face: "Ming, I mean the number of moviegoers, after all, the movie ticket twenty years ago was only two dollars, and now it is ten dollars." ”

It's pretty much the same, but how could Sun Ziming be fooled by this? The box office of "The Godfather" that year was nearly 300 million to 400 million US dollars according to today's ticket price, and "Shawshank" will not exceed 180 million if it dies!

“NO！ I'm not God, so I can't predict the box office, but I'm sure God will love this film too! ”

The audience smiled, this movie is indeed God will like it, but there are still people who deliberately create news, "Ming, you are wrong, children will not like it." ”

Sun Ziming really choked this kid, you have to have a certain amount of social experience to really appreciate the charm of "Shawshank", children really won't like it, even older children won't necessarily like it.

Fortunately, Morgan Freeman, who was next to him, was quick to take the microphone and said, "Kid, you're wrong. Children will also love it, and when they grow up, they will still be moved by this film. ”

Morgan, who is over half a hundred years old, said 'child', which made the reporters laugh, and the premiere press conference also came to an end under Alexander's reminder.

……

As Sun Ziming said, this is a 'movie that God will also like', and the film received rave reviews as soon as it was released, and the reviews from film critics to fans were one-sided, and they all thought that this was a rare classic.

Many curious audiences were influenced by film reviews and word of mouth, and they all walked into the cinema, they wanted to see if this movie, which everyone said was good, was really as wonderful as others said. They were not moved by the plot of the film, but they were deeply conquered by the profound meaning expressed in the film.

This is an era full of thinking, far less impetuous than the future globalization, "The Shawshank Redemption" has been unanimously praised, and many of the dialogues in the film have become classics:

Cowardice imprisons the soul of man, and hope can make you feel free. The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people.

Life can boil down to a simple choice: either be busy living or be busy dying.

These walls are funny, and when you first went to jail, you hated the high walls around you; Slowly, you get used to living in it; Eventually you find yourself having to rely on it to survive, and that's called institutionalization.

Don't forget that the world penetrates a qiē high wall, it is deep within us, they can't reach it, and they can't reach it, and that's hope.

Hope is good, perhaps the best in the world, and good things never fade.

With the word of mouth of fans and audiences, the box office of "Shawshank" has risen all the way, squeezing "Howard Manor" and "Chaplin" released at the same time to the weekly box office of 5 million.

The box office in the first week was 70.19 million?

Such box office statistics, not to mention Claudia, even if Sun Ziming got it, he couldn't believe it, but after the marketing department counted it three times, it was still this number.

"Boss, two days after the film was released, theaters have increased theaters and big screens. Now there are no longer 2,847 cinemas and 3,514 big screens, but 3,721 theaters and 5,128 big screens. ”

Claudia's explanation was equal to nothing, Sun Ziming was still expressionless, the statistical table in his hand trembled, and there was a fat brother standing next to him who was also dumbfounded.

The box office of the next week was 87.25 million!

This time, Sun Ziming and they were already able to treat it normally, although the smile on his face began to twitch.

"Ziming, why don't I help you play "Jurassic Park"? Don't worry, I don't want to be paid, I should play with you. ”

The guy doesn't mean that he still wants to earn a vote, it is estimated that the scale of investment is too large, and the salary budget for the actors is too small, so he wants to support himself. Sun Tzu Ming Dynasty Fa Ge arched his hand, "Thank you, 'If people have no faith, they will not stand', I have to find a white man to play this film." ”

"Come on, 300,000 yuan, what good actor can you hire? Lao Tzu went to the university for a few days to see it, and he was guaranteed to look like a professor! ”

Well, that's right, what kind of role does this bastard play, it's better to be cheap than cheap outsiders than cheap to your own people. However, Sun Ziming still wanted him to play "This Killer Is Not Too Cold". "Jurassic Park" doesn't want any acting skills, and it's not worth wasting his time.

"Come on, hurry up and lose weight, this time next year, you must lose 40 pounds. If that film can still be popular, you will have a firm foothold here, and don't rely on Lao Tzu to shoot it for you in the future. ”

Hearing Sun Ziming say this, Fa Ge is not reluctant, that film is related to his future, there is no need to covet the 60 million big production. As long as other directors are under him, he can make good films, and he is a well-known Hollywood first-line superstar!

Fa Ge got up and went to the gym, just halfway through walking and turned back, "Hey, pull Morgan's in, the box office share of "Shawshank" is earned by him in a few years, and it just happens to let him do it, you can give 300,000 OK." ”

Hehe, this guy is still thinking about his black brother, but this doesn't matter, Sun Ziming said casually: "Yes, let him play Ahmed, and then make up younger." By the way, try to use our original team as much as possible, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders! ”

After Claudia informed the crew members of "The Shawshank Redemption", I didn't expect these Americans to agree without thinking about it, in the words of Bob Gunton's 'Warden', following China Ming to make a movie, you can't suffer a loss!

Since everyone is so face-saving, Sun Ziming is also ready to give them another chance to make a fortune, while appearing on the show, accepting interviews, and continuing to promote the film, he began to prepare for the casting of "Jurassic Park", but the heroine made him feel a headache for a while.

……

Of course, this is also a happy annoyance, because the box office of "Shawshank" is too happy.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was released for a month and a half, and finally received a box office of 380 million, breaking the box office record of a North American literary film, and the VCD and videotape of this film also set a sales record for American audio and video products.

This is truly a masterpiece!

The media, fans, and the film industry unanimously praised this Hollywood immortal work, which was hailed by Europeans, and should indeed be ranked among the top three American films. Almost everyone is optimistic about this film, thinking that at next year's Oscars, "The Shawshank Redemption" will definitely be like in Berlin, sweeping a lot of competitors and reaping a bunch of golden figures.
