Chapter 694: The Water Is Gone! Food is out!
As the release time approached, Disney simply teamed up with online media such as Yahoo to put the three most interesting aspects in the advertising in an important position in the advertisement, in order to attract audiences into the theater.
Not only the Internet, but also the print media quickly reprinted the news, and the entertainment pages of many newspapers and magazines appeared in the three major highlights of "127 Hours".
"Aspect 1 – according to Explorer Allen? Based on the true story of Ruston, he stumbles and falls down a valley during a hike and is unable to move when he is crushed by a rock in his arm. After being trapped for five days, Ruston survived with a broken arm, amputated himself in the wild, climbed the 65-foot valley floor, and walked 5 miles before being rescued. ”
Aspect 2 - After starring in the success of "The Hunger Games", Natalie? Portman did not continue his career as an actor, but chose to direct and shoot a biopic to continue his success. With this film spanning only 5 days to tell a story of courage and self-help, shooting this film is very important for Natalie? Portman was also a challenge. ”
"Aspect 3 - the footage of the amputation is too realistic, so it looks too bloody. It is said that when it was screened in Toronto, many viewers saw this segment, their legs were weak, and many viewers vomited directly in the cinema. ”
However, in general, the film has limited investment in terms of publicity and marketing, and this is the way to build momentum, which can only be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which will be released worldwide before Thanksgiving.
The film itself is a niche genre, and if you don't control the cost, you probably won't be able to recoup your investment.
Therefore, the premiere held when the film was released was also pitifully small, and it was not even as good as the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" last month, but fortunately, because of the relationship between Ryan and Natalie, there were not many media and stars who came to cheer. One of them, for example, Scarlett? Johnson, Gail? Gado and others are still popular movie stars.
"Although I don't have to be stuck in the valley for more than 100 hours like Alan, for me, this performance is a challenge to hone my body and willpower."
Standing in the red-carpet interview area, Ryan spoke to reporters about his obligation to promote the film anyway, "but luckily, modern film technology allowed me to really shoot it at the level of a professional mountaineer." ”
"Was it a strange experience to make this film?" Los Angeles Times reporter John? Tetru is very good.
"It's really special, very intense. Very valuable experience. Ryan nodded to the clever reporter and continued, "We were going to shoot in a Los Angeles studio, and we had to recreate it to the shot of Allen being trapped in the canyon, and I can relate to the predicament that Allen encountered and the courage to get out of it. ”
On the red carpet behind, there were cheers one after another, and when Ryan looked back, Alan? Ruston and his girlfriend Jessica are walking towards the theater. After the filming of the film and the vigorous promotion of Disney, his fame gradually spread throughout North America.
In such a country that worships individual heroism, he almost became a second Antonio? Mendez-esque 'national heroes'.
After the other party came over, Ryan hugged him gently. Then the interview area was given to him, and promoting him was equivalent to promoting the film, as long as Alan? Ruston has enough to bring in that Ryan doesn't mind making him a true hero.
"I'm after being trapped. The first thing that comes to mind is to take a picture of myself, hoping to leave a final image for my family and friends, and it is this attachment to family and friends. So I finally created a miracle, a miracle that deserves to be shared by the audience in the theater. ”
When leaving, Ryan also heard Allen coming from behind? Ruston's voice, after Disney's intensive training and media bombardment, also knows how to deal with those guys and promote himself.
Regardless of the size of the premiere, it was nothing more than that, and after the interviews, group photos and other routine projects were over, Ryan and others walked into the theater.
"You're nervous......"
Sitting in the front row, Ryan could feel Natalie's hand holding him seem a little tight, "Nat? ”
"A little." Natalie nodded slightly.
Toronto's screening was only in a limited number of theaters, and this was a large-scale screening, although the number of theaters was only 800, but it covered most of North America.
"Nat."
Scarlett, sitting next to Natalie? Johnson interjected, "We'll work together on the next movie you're directing, and we're not going to take Ryan." ”
"So, Scarlett, and Nat."
Gale in the back? Gado also leaned over, "Do you have a specific plan?" You can count me in as one. ”
"Gail, haven't you started preparations for Wonder Woman 2 yet?" Ryan asked, looking back.
"Warner Bros. is still making preparations." Gail? Gado grabbed the back of Natalie's chair and whispered, "According to Director Burton, it won't be until next year at the earliest. ”
"Hey, Ryan." Scarlett said dissatisfiedly, "Don't change the subject, okay?" ”
She pointed to herself, Natalie, and Gail? Gado said, "All three of us have to have heavier roles, and the script for Nat's new movie will be handed over to you." ”
"Scarlett!" Natalie gave her a stealthy glare.
Three heavier female characters? Ryan pinched his chin, and after "Brokeback Mountain", homosexuality gradually ceased to be a taboo topic in mainstream films, perhaps...... Well, the heroine since. The scene of consolation must be deleted, even if it is retained, it cannot be as bold as in the previous life.
"What are you thinking?"
"I don't think of a suitable subject, do you?"
Natalie and Scarlett asked one after another, and Ryan shook his head, "I'll tell you more about it after I clear my mind, and besides, Nat is going to shoot "The Hunger Games 2" next year, and I'll discuss it with her slowly when she has time." ”
Seeing that Scarlett was still full of curiosity, Ryan made a silent gesture and pointed to the lit up big screen, "Watch a movie!" ”
Allan? Ruston, an adventure sports enthusiast in mountaineering, is a hot-blooded young man who is 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighs 175 pounds, and has a great body.
On April 25, 2003, he traveled alone to Blue John Canyon in Utah, USA, for a trip he will never forget......
In a small town called Aspen, he set out on an adventure and drove to the Horseshoe Canyon on the west side of Canyon National Park, where Alan was ready to embark on a one-day trip to the canyon, as the trip was expected to be short, he only took a car, a mountain bike, a first aid kit, a trekline, a 4-inch pocket pocket knife and a day's rations, but! He didn't bring his phone!
Alan parked his car in Horseshoe Canyon and camped out that night.
Early the next morning, he rode on his mountain bike and traveled south for two and a half hours against the wind to reach the Blue John Canyon, which is a vast area with a lot of weather, and there are many places in the park that are very remote and have not been set foot in so far, and Allen is going to the edge of the western part of the park.
This generation has loose sandy and difficult trails, deep and narrow canyons, sandstone that can slide or move at any time, and bad weather, even in summer, with a huge temperature difference between day and night.
Once at his destination, Alan embarked on a 15-mile hike, and after nearly three hours of marching in Blue John Canyon, the boy was not honest, and he came to a canyon about 4 feet wide, with fiery red sandstone bumps and bumps, and he climbed up the rock.
At 70 feet, he managed to climb a seemingly sturdy boulder, but when he climbed a 3-foot crevice, misfortune happened......
Alan pushed a boulder blocking his way, and when he was about to climb it, the boulder shook, and Allen's feet slipped and slammed down, and his entire right hand and forearm were squeezed between the boulder and the rock wall!
The boulder pinned him firmly into the air on Saturday, April 26, at 2:45 p.m.
It happened so suddenly, and when Alan came to his senses from the whole thing, it was in vain, no matter how much he pushed, squeezed, pulled, and pulled, he studied mechanical engineering in college, and he used all his knowledge, intelligence, and body, but it was a 770-pound boulder!
Because the red sandstone was relatively soft, he tried to chisel the stone at first, but he only brought a pocket pocket knife, in which case it was undoubtedly extremely unwise to spend too much money, and all Alan could do was to stay awake, save his body, and wait for the extremely slim rescue.
Alan began his desperate wait, he stuck his grappling hook into a rock crevice and fastened his climbing vest so that it could hang in mid-air, freeing his feet, he had 2 quesadillas, a few pieces of chewing gum and 0.8 gallons of water in his backpack, which was his only ration, and he tried to save as much as he could, hoping to last a little longer.
At night, although it is already April, the temperature in the desert will still drop below zero, and Allen, who is only wearing shorts and a T-shirt, can only rely on his strong body and few utensils to withstand the cold.
Fear, frustration, remorse, anger and darkness came over him in the cold wind, and he felt that he had failed those who loved him, regretted that he had broken the safety rules of rock climbing, and he carved his name on the rock wall, hoping that one day those who loved him would read about his story.
On the 3rd day of being trapped, Alan drank the last drop of water, urine, and other means of survival, which was indispensable, and he even fantasized about the downpour in this sandstone desert area, and imagined that countless waters filled the canyon and wrapped him tightly in it.
However, this is destined to be only a fantasy, in which his eyes, which never shed tears when he was desperate, were soaked with tears because of the ethereal hope he saw.
The water is exhausted! Food is out! Not even pee!
Life and death are pressed on both sides, and one qiē is just waiting for him to choose!
On the 5th day of being trapped, Alan? Ruston makes the most important decision of his life! (To be continued......)
