Chapter 312. [The Passion of the Christ]
It can be said that this premiere was particularly successful, whether it was the crew of "Sparta" or Dream Entertainment, they all raised their eyebrows greatly, so that those who are interested in Hollywood can see how beautiful Yi Feiyang's first comeback is.
After the premiere, there was no celebration as usual, not because Yi Feiyang was stingy, let alone stingy, but because he felt that it was too early to celebrate, after all, Warner and the two blockbusters of the new line company were still eyeing each other, how could he drink and have fun on his side? !
In extraordinary times, stay vigilant!
……
Inside the study room of the villa.
Yi Feiyang lay down on the boss's chair, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. Originally, he had been feeling a little unwell recently, and he had to intrigue with these bastards, and that tiredness was not something that ordinary words could describe.
"Shh Yi Feiyang exhaled, closed his eyes, and lay quietly. But in his mind, he was thinking about the success or failure of this movie war.
Now, although the premiere is going very well, the gimmick of this movie is also full of its own bubbles, the only thing missing is that this drama is not a blockbuster, it does not have the momentum of a blockbuster, compared with "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", it feels a little weaker, it is undeniable that the shooting of this drama is very exquisite, and the action design is even more outstanding, but no matter how good it is, it can't hide the background of the low-cost production of this drama.
This is like a man from a civilian background, who wants to squeeze into the upper class society, the aristocratic society, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Yi Feiyang has always been a person who came up in distress, and this time it was the same, but what was the result. It's up to you to see the reaction of the play "Spartan 300 Warriors".
But there are good things. In addition to "Sparta", which is being premiered. The only thing that could make Yi Feiyang feel a little happier was Mel Gibson's initiative to propose "The Passion of the Christ".
Yi Feiyang is very confident in this drama and makes it a classic in the name of fantasy entertainment, after all, where are the achievements of this drama in the previous life, whether it is the box office or word of mouth, it is first-class.
In fact, it is true, you must know that Hollywood has always had a mocking attitude towards religion, and even more so scorns movies about religion. When Mel Gibson announced his plans to make a movie about the Crucifixion, the director who had directed "Braveheart" was immediately confronted with various forces of criticism and obstruction, "realizing that he suddenly had so many enemies." Martin Scorsese almost died because of the filming of "The Temptation of Christ", turning the holy Christ into a mortal who indulged in love ~ lust and marriage. Mel Gibson revisits the subject matter and recreates the passion of Jesus and touches the sore spots of many.
The Christ on the screen was bruised and bloodied, and all the Jews will relive their eternal sins that they have committed, and the recurrence of this wound will surely sting many. This includes both Hollywood's numerous Jewish bosses and anti-Semites. And the film may also be accused of twisting and hating Jews. The huge religious pressure brought by the film caused a mass reaction from the film industry and religious circles, and it became the most controversial film of the year.
The hot taro of "The Passion of the Christ" has put many studios off. Gibson had to rely on his own foundations, raising about $30 million to shoot. Even after the film was completed, he could not find a film company to dare to release it, but fortunately, after the test screening, the excellent reviews from all parties cheered him up, and many religious people who had seen the film also expressed their appreciation for his work, and finally Newmarket took over the distribution work, and won more than 2,000 movie theater chains, which was not easy.
And within 5 days of the film's release, it exceeded $40 million at the box office, and the final box office reached an astonishing more than 300 million! It has become another dark horse movie in Hollywood history with a small and big one!
Now, such a "god film" was easily delivered to himself, or Mel Gibson himself, how could this not make Yi Feiyang happy? It's the feeling of picking up a treasure on the ground.
But there is one thing that Yi Feiyang does not know, in his previous life, Mel Gibson alone owned nearly 30 million US dollars, and the reason why this film was a big hit was because many churches and evangelical organizations fully mobilized and encouraged people to watch this film as a contact point for sharing faith.
However, many critics who opposed the film denounced the tragic death of Christ at the hands of the Jews, which would promote anti-Semitic sentiment. Others have accused him of exaggerating the cruelty and bloodshed of Christ's suffering. Compared with many film critics, the film has been praised for its excellent quality and touching. The evaluation from all sides can be said to be quite polarized.
To put it bluntly, this drama is now invested and filmed in the name of Dream Entertainment, but in fact, the bad luck is uncertain.
What's more, Yi Feiyang will find that he seems to have made a mistake, that is, this play was not starring Mel Gibson in his previous life, he just created the script and became a director, and the person who starred in this play should be another person.
Yi Feiyang guessed correctly, the actor who starred in this drama in his previous life was an outlier in Hollywood - James Carveezer.
Growing up in a strict Catholic family, he aspired to become a basketball player while attending school, but unfortunately broke his ankle while playing ball, and had to give up on that dream. Later, he played a small role in a play and made his debut on the movie screen, but he never got a role that could be fully utilized. It wasn't until this year that he was "hand-picked" by Jennifer Lopez to play the male lead Cage in "Angel Eyes", a sensitive and charming man full of mystery who made James Caviezer begin to attract widespread attention. But then he was hidden by the film company for refusing to play nude scenes with the heroine in the play "Felonies", because it violated his personal religion. In the future, he brilliantly portrayed the Savior Jesus in Mel Gibson's religious film The Passion of the Christ, and his powerful performance finally brought him film career success.
To put it more bluntly, a good movie needs a good actor to play it, and in fact, only James Caviezer is suitable for this role. Now Yi Feiyang has appointed Mel Gibson to be the director. and starred again. In fact, a big mistake has been made.
After realizing this mistake, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but sigh, I only hope that when this drama is really filmed in the future, Gibson can take the initiative to change his mind to act, but for Gibson, who is also a Catholic, being able to play the main god "Jesus" in his mind is definitely an opportunity that can be encountered but not sought, will he take the initiative to give up? !
Thinking of this, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but sigh and began to have a headache again. The troubles of many days are like a mess in my heart.
Just when Yi Feiyang was upset, the door of the study was pushed open, and a fragrance hit.
Very familiar fragrance, Anne Hathaway, is her.
Since Yi Feiyang and Anne Hathaway established their relationship, Anne took the initiative to move to live near Yi Feiyang with her grandmother Mrs. Lawrence, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of those media, the two also tried their best, and there was very little time to be alone like this.
Yi Feiyang didn't open his eyes, but he could feel Hathaway gently walk behind him, stretch out his jade hand, and help Yi Feiyang rub his temples lightly.
Unconsciously, Yi Feiyang's head was buried in Hathaway's chest. Hathaway's clothes were thin and snuggling. Therefore, Yi Feiyang's intuition is soft. Vaguely feeling her body temperature and heartbeat, as well as the amazing elasticity, Yi Feiyang's head moved slightly. I clearly felt the deformation and rebound of Hathaway's chest.
Feeling the tingling sensation on her chest, Hathaway's pretty face suddenly flushed with a rich flush, and at this moment, she could fully feel the warmth of the man in her arms. How wonderful and fulfilling it is to feel that this extremely attractive man, who has fascinated countless women, is now in his arms.
Unconsciously, Hathaway's hand relaxed, and Yi Feiyang's head was brought closer to his arms, his chest was numb, and he bit his sleeve lip, almost moaning.
"Hey, why are you here?" Suddenly, Yi Feiyang spoke.
Hathaway touched his hair and smiled, "I'm afraid you're too tired, and I'm afraid you won't be able to rest......"
Yi Feiyang took her hand and kissed her gently, "You don't have to, Annie." ”
Hathaway: "I just really want to take care of you, yes, you're like a child, you don't care about your body too much."
Yi Feiyang smiled bitterly, "I also know the way, but there are too many things around me." ”
"So, you're always reassuring." Hathaway sighed, then wrapped her hand around Yi Feiyang's neck, her glittering lips, like delicate flower buds, and slowly kissed Yi Feiyang's forehead, cheeks, and neck......
Yi Feiyang's breathing became heavy, and he could feel Hathaway's overflowing love.
The care of the lover is more gentle and charming than anything else.
"Forget everything, I don't want you to be so tired all the time, Yi, you are my most important person, Zhilu Dao?" Hathaway whispered, as if in her sleep, so softly, like a feather floating in Yi Feiyang's ear.
Her hand was inserted into Yi Feiyang's chest, caressing Yi Feiyang's muscular breasts, and an exciting feeling arose.
At this time, many men may not be able to help it, but Yi Feiyang did not, he suddenly held Hathaway's sliding hand and looked at her with his eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness, "I'm sorry, Annie, I always let you worry about me." ”
Hathaway smiled and said, "What more could I ask for for a man like you?" As long as I can watch you by your side and take care of you, I'm already satisfied, yes, that's it, that's all......"
Yi Feiyang was greatly moved, and he gently held Hathaway in his arms, his heart full of sweetness and tenderness.
Hathaway closed her eyes and felt Yi Feiyang's fiery love......
Happiness is right now.
……
In the early morning, the rising sun rose from below the horizon, hanging higher and higher in the sky, and the golden sunlight shone through the window, shining on the luxurious bedroom, and sprinkled all over the snow-white bed, Hathaway's delicate cheeks reflected the brilliant light, which seemed even more crystal like jade.
Hathaway woke up when Yi Feiyang got up, but she was a little soft all over, and she didn't even bother to move her fingers, so she kept lying quietly, according to the past, she should have gotten up by this time. And make breakfast. Feed the cat. Then she went to work at Dream Entertainment, but now, she just wanted to lie here and look at the ceiling......
Sometimes, Anne thinks that life is as simple as possible, to be with her beloved, to talk and laugh together. Ignore any fame and fortune disputes, ignore intrigues, just like that, simply live, simply live, this may be happiness.
But in fact, Anne knew that she couldn't do it, and Yi Feiyang couldn't do it, both of them were Hollywood celebrities, and they were getting more and more famous. I want to live like an ordinary person, unless I live in seclusion overseas.
Anne's gaze fell on an oil painting on the wall. It was an oil painting of the seascape, islands, sandy beaches, coconut palms, and beautiful sunshine......
"It would be nice to be able to live carefree in a place like this!"
With a leisurely sigh, Hathaway finally lifted the quilt and sat up on the bed.
The cloud-like hair is draped behind the shoulders like a waterfall, and the proud and tall breasts are slightly undulating, as beautiful and moving as fairies in ancient Greek mythology. Bathed in the golden sun, it made her body seem to be shrouded in a layer of holy light. Na Li's stunning appearance, that charming and delicate expression, is not beautiful, and there is no place that does not make people's hearts shake.
"Hey, what are you doing in a daze?" I don't know when Yi Feiyang walked in, gently hugged her waist, kissed her on the cheek and asked.
"No, I'm just feeling a little sleepy."
"Hehe, let you sleep a little longer, why do you get up so early?"
"I'll make you breakfast, and don't forget, I said I'd take care of you."
"Now, then, let me take care of you...... I've already made breakfast, we're Chinese, I don't know if it's to your liking, well, you wash up, and then we'll dine together! Yi Feiyang kissed Anne on the cheek again and went downstairs.
Anne glanced at the seascape oil painting and asked herself, is her request too high, just ask, what girl in the world can be so happy to make Yi Qi make breakfast?!
"Be content, Hathaway!" Anne said to herself.
……
Yi Feiyang's breakfast is very simple, two bowls of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, two omelettes, then two servings of ham, and two cups of mandarin duck milk tea.
His skills are good, at least Hathaway eats with relish, but Yi Feiyang is a little absent-minded, holding milk tea, but his eyes are on the newspaper.
The newspaper published the news after the premiere of "Spartan 300" last night, and overall, it received very good reviews.
For example, the Los Angeles Times commented: "It was an honor to watch the premiere of "Spartan 300" last night as a special correspondent. The first impression I had of this drama was that it was very shocking, and there was no impression of a low-budget production, on the contrary, I thought it was a Hollywood blockbuster at first glance. It can be said that this is an epic war film directed by Yi Feiyang, with beautiful action design, atmospheric scene design, tense and exciting storyline, and vivid character performances...... The film is cleverly conceived and has a clear theme, with strong men and graceful women, and there is a strong contrast between bravery, intelligence, and loyalty on the one hand, and cowardice, intrigue, and betrayal! The growth process of the Spartan warriors from being brave and good at fighting is shocking, and it can't help but arouse the audience's strong heroism complex, short and powerful dialogue, bold and deep eyes, and impassioned speeches, which make the audience's blood boil. This is perhaps what makes this film so powerful. ”
"It is undeniable that shock is the return of cinema. The film reflects reality or restores history or imagines the future, showing a variety of postures in the world, and the audience gets different feelings from different stories, dialogues, music, and pictures. or reflect, remember, longing, or cry or laugh, or cry or laugh. In short, a film that can stir up a certain emotion in the audience is a successful movie in a sense. This is also the reason why many people like to wander in the world of movies, wandering like ghosts without brains, as if they can peek into the lives of people who are far away from us. When you go back to your own reality, it's incredibly easy. The success of The Three Hundred Spartans reveals this – the shock is everywhere! With the storyline, let us continue to enjoy the shock brought by the audio-visual effects, which "Sparta" has done. ”
"Hollywood Entertainment News" reported: "We have a deeper understanding of the first play of Yi Feiyang's comeback. It is undeniable that this "Sparta" makes us feel the unprecedented violence, and the aesthetics that are presented in the violence. Yi Feiyang is very good at choosing actors, especially Mel Gibson, who is the leading actor, is a well-known actor in Hollywood. As we all know, for this play, Gibson worked hard to exercise his figure, so that in the play, his perfect and strong muscles, as well as his cold face and eyes, make us feel the masculine charm of men in that era of cold weapons, men, should be like Sparta, standing up to the sky! ”
These are some article comments on the newspaper, and after Yi Feiyang finished reading it, he closed the newspaper and put it aside, only to realize that the porridge in his bowl was already cold.
"I'll go give you some heat." Anne said.
Yi Feiyang nodded, "Don't bother too much, just heat it up." ”
After Anne heated the porridge, she returned to the restaurant, but Yi Feiyang's shadow was gone. There was a small note on the table, and the tone was urgent, "There is an urgency, go first!" ”
Anne-Hathaway knew that he must have rushed to the company, looking at the hot porridge in her hand, Anne couldn't help but sigh, she really didn't want Yi Feiyang to work so hard, although men work very charming...... (To be continued......)
