Chapter 110 "No Country for Old Men" Premiere (2)
The cinema was pitch black.
On the screen, at the beginning, it was an unusually vicissitudes of voice, it was John. Ford's.
"When I was 25 years old, I was the sheriff of this place. My grandfather was, and so did my father. I think he must be very proud of that. ”
In the sound of vicissitudes, there is a set of empty shots next.
The empty American West, a wilderness, the sun is rising, sparse, cold, and slaughtering.
Next, the bland monologue completely pushed the empty scene at the beginning of the film to a climax - "A while ago, I sent a boy to the electric chair. I arrested him and gave testimony that he had killed a 14-year-old girl, and the newspapers said that he had committed the crime on impulse, but the boy had not been impulsive at all when he told me that he had killed someone. He said he wanted to kill someone for as long as he could remember, and that if he was released, he would do it again. ”
"Interesting, I like this at the beginning." Next to Victor, Liu Beiqian nodded.
The veteran director, who had become famous in the twenties, turned his face to look at Victor: "Victor, is this beginning very innovative!" ”
"Not bad! The lines are good. "Frank. Capra laughed.
If the beginning of "No Country for Old Men" suddenly condensed the atmosphere at the screening scene, then the appearance of the next psychopathic killer made everyone's nerves tense.
On the screen, a police car stops, and the police grab the psychopathic killer into the car and bring a high-pressure oxygen tank. Next, inside the police station, the young policeman made a phone call, and the killer came from behind without a sound and strangled the policeman cleanly.
When the psychopathic killer played by Victor appeared on the screen. Everyone's eyes widened.
Victor was originally handsome. But the one on the screen has shawl hair. With a pale face and strange eyes, it was almost a neurotic character when it was revealed, and the audience sat up straight in unison.
"This character is absolutely stunning in image." Think of the director Raoult, who is famous for his character design. Walsh couldn't help but ask.
"But what the hell is that dogskin jar in that guy's hand for!?" In the audience, many people were whetted by the high-pressure oxygen tube carried by the killer.
In less than five minutes into the opening scene, the movie completely captured everyone's attention.
Very good! Very good! Victor said secretly in his heart.
Soon, everyone in the movie theater covered their mouths in front of the screen. There was a huge exclamation -
On the screen, Anthony, the killer who escaped, stopped a car, and he got the driver out of it.
The driver stared at the oxygen tank in Anthony's hand: What is this?
Anthony: I ask you to get out of the car, sir.
Driver: What's wrong?
The audience then watched as Anthony aimed the nozzle of the oxygen tube at the driver's forehead.
All the viewers were glued to the screen, completely unaware of what would happen in the next second.
Even Hitchcock, a master of suspense, is now completely captivated, saying, "What the hell is ...... thing?"
Before the words were finished, on the screen, the killer Anthony pressed lightly, and the high-pressure oxygen tank squirted a bloody hole in the driver's forehead. Blood splattered!
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God! It turned out to be a murderer! ”
"So you can kill people like this!"
"It's horrible!"
……
There was an exclamation in the cinema. Everyone covered their mouths.
"This ...... Too...... So creative! "Adolf. Chuck simply applauded: "Raised by a bitch!" I've watched so many movies, and all killers are either guns or knives, and no killer has ever been able to come up with something so creative! ”
"Good! Wonderful! Great! Laimer nodded: "What a talent!" Victor, you're a great idea! ”
"Incredible...... Incredible...... This one...... Not bad......" Even Hitchcock had to nod.
At the beginning of "No Country for Old Men", in less than ten minutes, the perverted killer played by Victor conquered all audiences, including many Hollywood filmmakers, with his cold, weird, and neurotic words and deeds, and with that incomparably creative killing oxygen tank!
"This movie has to be funny!" Sam. Warner was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth: "Victor, can you imagine what the audience's expression will be at this moment in thousands of movie theaters?" ”
"I don't care, I just want them to feel like their money isn't being spent in vain." Victorle.
When all the audience was terrified to see what this perverted killer was going to do next, the screen changed. Cooper's appearance as Moss, an old cowboy.
Footage of hunting, the old cowboy shoots the prey in the empty Gobi, the prey escapes, and the old cowboy carries a gun to track the prey......
A series of shots, Jali. Cooper brings the experienced, tough, and wise western cowboy to the fullest!
"Jali, good! It's very potential, and I've always had a hunch that this guy will be a big star sooner or later. He will be the second John. Wayne. "Sam. Warner nodded.
The ordinary audience in the back was confused.
"I'm going to see that killer! What about the killer!? “
"That's right! How could there be a cowboy! What's so good about hunting! What about the killer!? ”
"What does this guy have to do with the killer!?"
"There should be a story, don't argue, damn it, look down!"
……
"Two-line structure." Hitchcock looked at Victor.
"Two-line construction? How can this kid play with such a complex structure? Does he have what it takes? Chaplin was skeptical.
"What's so complicated about a two-line structure. In my opinion, I'm afraid there's more to it than that. This movie, looking at it now, whether it is the structure or the characterization, is wonderful! "Great Conductor John. Houston is very appreciative of the film at the moment.
On the screen, soon the highlight of the old cowboy Moss came out - he found the scene of the drug dealer's fire, the corpse was in disarray, the flesh was blurred, and the car accident was killed.
"Damn, so many people died."
"The old cowboy is in trouble."
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
On the screen, the old cowboy Moss calmly examines the scene, he throws away the Mexican who is not dead in the car, and judges that there must be another person who has escaped, he follows the bloodstains and finds the person under a tree.
The old cowboy did not come forward, he sat in the scorching sun and waited, and after a few hours he walked over and walked under the tree.
"This cowboy is so smart."
"Calm down. Duel. This is the man of our west. ”
The audience, who was complaining about the appearance of the old cowboy just now, began to like this man at this moment.
The cowboy finds the escaped drug dealer and finds a box of money.
"Good boy, so much money!"
"Haha, I'm rich."
……
Then, the audience saw the old cowboy carrying the money home, and then the woman played by Bergman appeared, the poor life between the couple, and the relationship between the two people, which made the audience very satisfied.
"I'm usually like this to my women."
"It's true. Enjoyable. ”
Then, the old cowboy filled a bucket of water and returned to the crime scene.
"Oh my God, this man's head is in the water, why should he go back!?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble!"
……
Seeing the cowboy return to the drug dealer fire and the scene, the audience's hearts were lifted.
"But don't let anything happen." Liu Beiqian's nervous face made Victor feel funny.
It seems that all of them were brought in.
"This guy is going to run into that perverted killer! These two people, dead and good-looking. Absolutely. "Hitchcock, who was critical, finally uttered a word of appreciation.
The movie is here, it's very good!
Victor clutched his chest, finally relieved. (To be continued......)
