Chapter 171: Incredible
Paramount Pictures' secrecy system is quite strict, even if Hughes is the president of Paramount, he can't enter the post-production room until the film is released.
Of course, Hughes can also go to the theater of the opening to watch the movie, but many of those audiences are VIPs invited by Paramount, and their film reviews are very professional.
But the eyes of these professional moviegoers may not be representative of the general public, so Hughes went to this popular cinema to watch the movie "Rommel", and at the same time listened to the general public's evaluation of the movie.
Hughes and the secretary took the movie tickets and lined up to enter the movie theater, and the two high-priced movie tickets were in the middle, which was an ideal location for watching movies.
Entering the cinema does not immediately see the film, and it takes about twenty minutes for the first film to be shown in the first screening hall before it is the turn of the second screening room.
The people who entered the movie theater chatted while eating popcorn, Hughes just listened to the conversation of these people, and did not interject, Hughes sat next to several young people who came together, and they saw that the movie did not start, so they chatted:
"It's so hard to buy tickets for this movie, and the brothers came to line up from last night and almost didn't get a movie ticket."
"What are you complaining about! The idol who can see our hearts in time is already thankful. ”
"By the way, there are more than 30,000 people in our Imperial Eagle fan group, and less than 5% of them can buy movie tickets in time, and many brothers can't watch it if they want to!"
When Hughes heard this, his heart was really happy, the more fans of Rommel were, the more people came to see this movie! The higher the box office.
Hughes didn't interject and continued to listen quietly to their chat:
"Have you read the newspapers these days?"
"Of course, our great General Rommel has taken the island of Malta again."
"Tsk. The British on the island of Malta are really unlucky, how did they meet the eagle of the empire - General Rommel! Observe three minutes of silence for them. ”
"As soon as the great General Rommel made a move, he knew if there was any, and even those shrimp soldiers and crab generals on Malta Island dared to fight against the great Rommel, that was because they were beyond their means."
"It's they who seek their own death. So had to die, and the newspapers said that their commander, Lieutenant General Brian, was all killed. ”
"The great General Rommel was so powerful."
With a "pop", the lights in the cinema suddenly went out, and some countdown numbers suddenly appeared on the screen.
"The movie starts, everybody shut up."
After the subtitles and title are finished, the movie officially begins:
Seventeen or eighteen-year-old Rommel was training recruits in the uniform of a German second lieutenant in World War I.
After training. Rommel, the instructor, was just as sweaty and dusty as the recruits.
At this time, Rommel did not rest, but personally gave the recruits bruises, and Rommel's rigor and kindness were quickly recognized by the recruits.
As soon as the picture turned, World War I broke out, the battlefield on the Western Front was full of artillery fire, and Rommel led his platoon to withstand the French artillery fire. A heroic and fearless counterattack, bullets flying through the air. Rommel's soldiers were constantly falling.
While directing his soldiers to counterattack, Rommel fired desperately at the attacking French troops, and due to Rommel's desperate resistance, an impassable death zone formed in front of his position.
Countless enemy troops fell in front of the position like mowing grass, and suddenly a cannonball screamed and fell, and Rommel quickly struck to the left. Knocked down the machine gunner who was shooting.
The shell exploded at the position of the heavy, and the gunner looked at Rommel gratefully, did not say a word, but gave Rommel a military salute, and then ran to the machine gun position to shoot. ”
This movie is too real and shocking. The sound of bullets shuttling through the air, the explosion of shells and the splashing of dirt, filled the position with gunsmoke.
The highlight of this film is that the war scenes are grand and real, and everyone who watches this movie is shocked by this real war, even Hughes is no exception.
The scene turned again, Rommel successfully held the position, and the audience couldn't help but let out a slight cheer.
The continuous trench warfare and poison gas warfare caused heavy casualties on both sides, and the battlefield fell into a stalemate.
Rommel began to advise his superiors that he should take his platoon from the trail to outflank the rear of the French army.
The superior did not agree to Rommel's request, but asked him to take three soldiers to reconnoiter the situation, and only after the wait was confirmed that it was not too late to send troops to intersperse.
Rommel and his soldiers went out day and night, and after going through hardships and dangers, they finally arrived at the rear of the French army, and after Rommel had explored everything about the French army, he suddenly encountered twenty French soldiers when he returned.
But Rommel was suspicious, and he had two soldiers drag the branches through the woods, and he went out alone to shout:
"You are already surrounded, and if you do not surrender immediately, you will be wiped out on the spot."
A French officer did not believe in evil and fired a shot at the ridge where Rommel was hiding, and Rommel raised his hand and shot the French officer in the head, and the twenty French soldiers who had lost their command had to obediently throw away their weapons and surrender.
After the French army was captured, it was discovered that Rommel and there were only three of them, but at this time, Rommel had already stopped his machine gun and hundreds of grenades, and the French soldiers who had no weapons did not dare to resist anymore. ”
Several of the youths around Hughes began to discuss in whispers again:
"The great General Rommel is so powerful that he captured twenty French soldiers in three people, and this method of dragging branches and spreading suspicious soldiers is really good."
"Those French soldiers are rubbish."
The film continues, and after Rommel returns to the barracks with the French prisoners, he is commended by his superiors and awarded an Iron Cross of the Second Degree.
After Rommel reported to his superiors what had been detected, the superiors agreed to Rommel's plan of interspersing, and Rommel began to intersperse with a platoon of soldiers, and the troops moved continuously for fifty hours until they reached the rear of the French position.
Rommel cleverly took advantage of the negligence of the French army and succeeded in a sneak attack on the French arsenal, which was blown up.
The scene of the explosion of the ammunition depot was extremely shocking, the movie screen was full of gunpowder smoke from the explosion, and the movie theater was full of deafening explosions, which was extremely real and cinematic.
When a division of French troops learned that the arsenal had been blown up, they panicked, and the whole division began to retreat in a panic.
Rommel took a platoon of soldiers and made a detour through a pass on the road that the French army had to pass through to retreat.
The retreating French army began to organize soldiers to attack, but was severely killed and wounded by Rommel, and after several attacks, the French army had no will to fight, and the ammunition was exhausted, and the remaining 5,000 French troops were forced to surrender to Rommel, the second lieutenant. ”
When the audience saw this, all the audience in the cinema applauded Rommel warmly, what courage and wisdom it took for a mere platoon to capture a division of the French army! It's incredible, but everyone knows it's Rommel's true record.
[Brothers, this is not a water plot, the falling leaves wrote a movie that caused a huge repercussion in the United States, and it is paving the way for the future, if the brothers don't like it, the next movie can be brushed aside. 】
