Chapter 514 Can't be concluded yet
【SOUL-SURFER】
On all screens and screens where "Soul Surfer" was screened, including 2,757 North American theaters, the title of the show soon after it opened.
The audience was taken into the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai, with the blue sky, the blue sea, the mountains, forests, coasts, and beaches, which were like paradise in the soft light and warm colors. At the same time, Bethany's narration is accompanied by images to introduce the characters and the background of the story.
She was born into a family of surfers, dad Tom and mom Sheri, and two older brothers, Noah and Tim, both of whom both surfed, and she also grew up surfing and showed extraordinary talent. Her best friend, Alana, and her pet dog, Gingy, appear in her narration.
【BASED-ON-A-TRUE-STORY】
The title suggests that this is a film based on a true story, and Bethany's cheerful narrator makes a thematic hint: "I love them, and all my strength comes from my connection to Christ, and the love and encouragement of my family and friends." ”
On the big screen, the blonde girl surfs on a big wave, looking infinitely powerful.
Watching this scene and listening to these words, the devout believers in the theater were already applauding silently, and the eyes of the enthusiastic middle-aged mothers were hot, what a good Bethany!
THE NAMES OF THE FILM'S MAIN CREATORS AND ACTORS ARE PLACED AT THE BEGINNING, AND EACH ONE IS DISPLAYED IN APPROPRIATE WHITE LETTERS IN THE APPROPRIATE SPACE ON THE CORRESPONDING SCREEN, EMMA-ROBERTS, COLIN-FIRTH, HELEN-HUNT, SHAILENE-WOODLEY......
That's it, a fat man with a beard squints his eyes that have been cured with a laser, and this opening is too ordinary.
Everything in these few minutes belongs to the basic narrative technique of the movie, the kind of thing that anyone can shoot, no genius or not, with such a true story and that autobiography, anyone who has studied directing can do it. He had thought of dealing with the opening scene of "Lovely Bones" like this, and that kid blew it all over the place, and that's it in the end?
That kid has the capital to blow, and several of his films have their own amazing beginnings, painting the atmosphere of the film, and quickly sucking the audience into the screen world like a magnet. But not this time, Ye Wei, who is also the main screenwriter, did not use a scene like LMS to open, but used narration to explain the most ordinary way, resulting in the beginning of the past, those characters only have names and identities, and have no personality.
It's not something genius does, but sometimes, the most ordinary equals the most effective, and it's not conclusive.
【SCREENPLAY-BY-VIGOR-YEAH
MICHAEL-ARNDT_and_HUCK-BOTKO】
Seeing Ye Wei's name in the screenwriter's column on the screen, cheers rang out in the hotel suite that had been quiet for a while, Jennifer and Alicia were laughing, but Gia frowned, the effect seemed to be average, Scorsese and the people who couldn't see Ye Wei's good would have shown a mysterious smile now if they saw it.
15-year-old Emma faithfully restored the small figure of Bethany at the age of 13 years and 8 months, and the cute bikini showed off her delicate figure and exercised little muscles.
Playing a happy girl next door, she is smiling is playing, slight forehead lines, two big round eyes, straight nose, white teeth in her big grinning mouth, that aura has her own unique sunshine, and some arrogance.
The general audience looks very good, the teenagers are quite familiar with her, Julia Roberts's niece! The boys look pretty and cute, the girls look at it with a sense of intimacy, compared to those supermodels with 100cm legs, "Bethany" looks more approachable.
This isn't the first time Julia Roberts has seen it, and it's much more nervous to see the opening than it was to see the inside Lionsgate premiere, because it's the reaction of the ordinary audience around her that makes or breaks the difference. When she heard a few young people in the back row whispering, "She's so pretty," Roberts was happy, but not enough.
Emma's star journey is rising or falling this time, and whether she can become a popular new star on the big screen must not just be "beautiful".
After a series of producer names such as Peter Heller, Marc Foligno, Dech Hofstedtle, etc., the first producer is introduced separately in the marching frame:
【PRODUCED-BY-VIGOR-YEAH】
On the screen of the Brown Bear Cinema, under a large white tent on the shore, the Hamiltons join many residents at an outdoor service at Kauai's North Shore Christian Church. Off-screen, Bethany and others watched this completely realistic reproduction, and it felt amazing how many times they watched it.
Youth mentor Sarah Hill has worked for this church for many years, and the camera focuses on Melissa McCarthy, who plays Sarah, who is like a band in a concert, accompanied by an instrument on either side of the congregation, her fat face full of kind smiles, singing into the microphone:
"I prayed for rain to come and wash away what had made me numb, and I prayed for a violent storm to drown my sins. ”
McCarthy sang and danced, and the audience on Kauai's North Shore who knew Sarah's mentor laughed, and while Sarah was happy, it was a bit dramatic.
Most of the viewers who have watched LMS still have the impression that this fat woman is too recognizable. An interesting situation that many fans noticed was that Emma Roberts also made a cameo in LMS, and their partnership continued into SS.
The funny and funny fat woman is still making people happy, like the smiling residents on the screen, and there are also smiling faces off the screen.
Liz laughed, that's my goal! Even if you're fat like that, you're a good actor. What is this song called? It is light, dynamic and charming, and it is very good.
"I pray for the rain to come and wash away what makes me numb......" the residents laughed and sang together, as did Bethany. Emma can show off her youthful singing voice, and the other voices become the background, and her singing voice resounds through the screening room: "When your storm is coming, it will come." Your storm is coming, your storm is coming—"
In Manhattan, New York, the atmosphere of the screening room suddenly changed, and a trace of weirdness rose in the cheerful and quiet.
Amy laughed, this Pray-For-Rain was really suitable, it was getting more and more interesting so quickly, she could see the shark named VIY swimming close because of the song.
Many people may wonder about the track of the soundtrack, but Mike Giacchino, who is the soundtrack, naturally knows it all, this is the song of the same name by the gospel rock band PFR, but it was not his idea. He is responsible for the original soundtrack, and the selection of the interludes is all managed by Ye Wei himself, and he does not cooperate with the singer to make more time-consuming new songs.
Ye Wei used all the gospel music this time, and almost all of them were very unpopular, but the director made a decision, Giacchino and the mixing side listened very well, it is not difficult or expensive to obtain the copyright, there is a young female singer who was favored by two songs when she negotiated, she was so happy that she wanted to be free, one of them was recorded according to Ye Wei's requirements and under his supervision, and there is the current public version.
Many people doubt whether Ye Wei works hard enough for SS, Giacchino, editor Suzanne Hines and other post-production personnel don't see it that way, the question is not whether Ye Wei works hard enough, but how hard he works, one day off a week, soaking in various post-production studios all day long, no matter how cumbersome it is, his talent, professionalism and intentions are obvious to all.
If you talk about private life, Ye Wei and Amy Rosen were in a stable relationship at that time, but they never saw Rosen go to visit the class.
The calm air enveloped the critics' screenings, and it was too early to judge, and it was a fact that the critics had not yet had any surprises.
The digital shooting does not affect the perception, there is no problem with the technical level of the film, and the scenery is still beautiful, but the story scenes, the use of lenses, and the performances of the actors are all moving forward in a dull track, only the mentor Sarah and this soundtrack are not bad. Genius prodigal son VIY, I'm sorry for your name and people's expectations at this beginning, right?
【DIRECTED-BY-VIGOR-YEAH】
When I saw this line of text in the video, the film was directed by Ye Wei, countless people smiled for it, fans felt excited and confident, Levbad and others and Duoduo and other children cheered excitedly, as if this was Ye Wei's first time directing, and "Dance of Angels" has passed three years.
Many young actors applauded silently everywhere, and those who had cooperated, been helped, admired their talents, and dreamed of working together one day......
"I don't know if Candace Akola has seen it? Kelsey thought to herself, still unable to forgive Arcola for withdrawing.
"VIY, GOD BLESS YOU. Modi silently wished, and Stella and Safi, who were watching together, only envy, as soon as TLB was released next month, Mody will officially become a big star.
The singing fades away, the beginning of the camera is over, the Hamilton family of five plus Gingi frolic on the beach, and play surfing, the warmth of family can almost overflow the screen, and the combination of Feith, Hunter, Garfield, Dolan and Emma has as much sporty style as bookish atmosphere.
In the home theater, Lily couldn't help but laugh at her girlfriends and say, "Mr. Darcy surfing, isn't it cool? Not at all! ”
"Come on, Gingy, you can do it!" In the screen, Bethany asks Gingy to surf together, the camera cuts quickly, Gingy lies on the surfboard and floats to the sea, it's really good!
In between the plays, a foreshadowing message is revealed that Bethine Tom has a knee injury, and then in the duo play between Bethany and Alanna, there is not only a connection to the upcoming North Shore surfing competition, but also another foreshadowing message, the night surfing activities of the teenagers on Halloween.
Viewers familiar with Bethany's story are getting more and more nervous and getting closer, and these real events will come together in an amazing rendezvous on Halloween, October 31.
Agents and people who are concerned about the girls in the future have calculations in their hearts, Shailene Woodley is a supporting role, limited by the space to play, and does not perform much but can be passed for the time being, and Emma Roberts is also good, but it is only good in youth commercial films, not much better than her in "Mermaid".
Whose problem is it?actor?director?
The KING of the ten cards that Ye Wei picked out thousands of times is just that?
