"A History of American Gangsters" officially premiered in the United States.

Only one of the theaters of Xingyang exclusively screened.

Although it is very lively, there is no wave in the mainstream media in the United States......

People only pay attention to Zhao Zhen, who filmed "Brokeback Mountain", followed fans into the cinema to support "American Gangster History", and other than that, others were too lazy to pay attention to this movie.

in the screening room.

The lights are flickering.

Zhou Yang looked at the plot on the screen.

In the past two years, although he has changed a lot, his body is still as stubborn as it was at the beginning.

He also couldn't tell where this stubbornness came from, but he felt that if there was no "Mine Bottom", his life would not have changed because of this, and if he hadn't changed because of this, maybe he would still be an ordinary hydropower worker, living a difficult life of paying off debts.

More than half a month ago, Zheng Jun found Zhou Yang with the movie "History of American Gangsters", and Zhou Yang noticed that Zheng Jun's eyes were emitting a fiery light, which made him suddenly a little moved.

Jung Joon is eager to prove himself, and this proof does not seem to be commercial, but in the "art" of film.

So, Zhou Yang made this decision that seemed very stupid to others.

[No matter how it ends, at least let this movie be screened in its entirety].

That's what Zhou Yang thought in his heart.

……………………

It was very quiet in the screening room.

It was so quiet that Zheng Jun felt scared, and the whole person couldn't sit still.

He is also extremely conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he desperately wants to prove himself, but he still does not give up in his heart, but on the other hand, he is very afraid, afraid of proving that this is a bad movie.

I am grateful to Zhou Yang, but I am afraid that this movie will eventually become a joke.

In such a contradictory environment, he watched the film unfold slowly and methodically, showing the situation of the United States in the last century, and composing the history of the United States like a picture scroll.

More than ten minutes after the movie was released, he glanced at the audience next to him...

The audience didn't seem to be paying attention to the movie, and several fans even fell asleep watching it.

It's a really uncomfortable taste.

I'm afraid another tragedy is about to be released......

Next, Zheng Jun was engrossed in the movie and didn't go to see these audiences anymore, he was afraid that it would affect his mentality.

After watching the movie he made again, Zheng Jun still feels that this "History of American Gangsters" has made what he wants to shoot in his heart, and it has been filmed heartily, incorporating many of his views on Lao Mei in the last century, he feels that even if this movie can't be said to be a classic, at least it is excellent!

More than three hours passed quickly.

The upper part is finished.

The screening room was still silent, so quiet that it was frightening......

It wasn't until the lights came on that the audience got up and left the screening hall in a very orderly manner.

They are to!

This thought resurfaced in Jungjun's mind, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and then became a bitter expression.

When he stood up, he heard a sudden noise in the screening room, and many people were talking about something, but Zheng Jun had a burst of tinnitus and found that he couldn't hear what these people were talking about......

As soon as he walked out of the screening room, he felt his ears clearer a little.

But it was soon covered by bursts of screams......

Zhao Zhen came out.

The media's attention is all on Zhao Zhen.

After Jung Jun finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd, his phone rang again.

The call was still from Zhang Changsheng.

"Once Upon a Time in America came out at the box office......"

"How much?"

"The total box office of the three films is more than 8 million, and the box office of the third premiere is only 1.5 million, and the attendance rate has dropped by 30 percent......"

Zheng Jun nodded.

Hung up the phone.

Coming and going on the streets of Los Angeles, no one cares who he is......

When he filmed "The Departed", he used the English name Jeffer, and when he filmed "American Gangster History", he still used the English name Jeff.

Except for a few people inside the company and outside who knew that it was him, no one else knew that he made these two movies.

Three movies, one worse at the box office......

Although there are reasons for not adapting to water and soil in China, it actually doesn't make much sense.

At noon, Jung Jun ate something alone......

In the afternoon, the second half of the American version of "American Gangster History" was about to be released, and although Zheng Jun felt that this kind of release was very abrasive and almost discouraged in his heart, he still walked over silently.

When Jung Jun walked to the screening room, he found that the premiere of the second half was more lively than the office department......

He saw Zhou Yang's figure.

Zhou Yang came with a woman, and when he saw this woman clearly, Zheng Jun's pupils shrank.

The woman's name was Charlotte. Sally, a woman who has amazed the Western film industry in the last century, has a respected status in the literary circle, and once had the Berlin International Film Festival of "Mine Bottom". Sally is the president of the entire festival.

He heard Zhou Yang talking to Charlotte. Sally chatting about the movie "A History of American Gangsters," Charlotte. Sally nodded from time to time, then walked into the screening room with a smile.

Mr. Zhou is helping me gain popularity!

Zheng Jun only felt as if he was choking on something in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out for a long time.

He followed, finding his place and sitting down like a passerby.

The screening hall was very noisy, Zheng Jun didn't know what was going on, and as soon as he walked into the screening room, he had inexplicable tinnitus and couldn't hear what the audience was talking about.

Just know that they are pointing fingers.

……………………………………

Zhou Yang did not deliberately invite Charlotte. Ms. Sailly.

Although the other party helped "Mine Bottom" a lot at the Berlin International Film Festival, and thanks to her recommendation, "Mine Bottom" sold a good copyright fee. Ms. Sally is not particularly familiar with each other, and the two sides have not been in contact with each other in the past two years......

Charlotte. Sally came on her own.

It seems that after seeing the Chinese version of "Once Upon a Time in America" movie review and some stills on the Internet, I was a little interested, and then I called myself.

"Mr. Zhou, the box office of the third part of "Once Upon a Time in America" is outrageously low, but the reputation is frighteningly high, Mr. Zhou, have you invited a water army?"

in the screening room.

After Xu Mei finished reading the third review of the latest "Once Upon a Time in America", her eyes widened in surprise, and then she looked at Zhou Yang in disbelief.

"Nope!"

"Really?"

"There really is no ......"

Zhou Yang shook his head.

When he took the notebook handed over by Xu Mei, he also felt shocked, the score of the third part was as high as 9.0 points, a must-see score for this classic.

After being shocked, Zhou Yang looked at the comments, and then slowly regained his composure.

The movie "Once Upon a Time in America" has no great attraction for Zhou Yang, but Zhou Yang knows that this is not a bad movie, but a well-polished literary movie.

This film tells the story of that period in the United States, as well as the changes in society, and it has a sense of vicissitudes......

It's telling the story of life.

Such a movie is very attractive to some literary fans.

In the screening room......

Zhou Yang heard bursts of sobbing and sighing.

Zhou Yang subconsciously looked around and found that there were viewers around him sobbing, and some of the audience had unwillingness on their faces, which was quite uneasy.

The movie tells the story of the protagonist and his companions who grew up together, wandered the streets of the United States in the last century, did some cheating, gradually grew up in danger again and again, and formed a deep friendship.

In particular, the friendship between the protagonist "Sarn" and the supporting character "Carey" is more like a brotherly friendship.

Although the first half is boring, it is portrayed in great detail, especially the careers and love of several people......

When Zhou Yang watched "American Gangster History" for the first time, he felt that it was really boring, but when he came to the theater for the second time to watch this movie, he saw a different feeling.

Especially after learning a little about the history of that period, and then watching this movie, you will find that this movie affects your emotions, follows the protagonist all the way, feels the mixed life conditions along the way, and the lyrical conception of prose poetry......

As the second half of the film progresses, he sees the divisions and contradictions of this small group on the screen from the movie......

Reality, love, the changes of time, chaos, the cruelty at the bottom, the creepy and scary people's hopes, all these hearty things are presented in this movie one by one.

It's a lot of fun to watch......

The same plot, the same picture, watched in the cinema and on the computer, I saw two completely different flavors.

When he saw that it was about to end, Zhou Yang felt the amazement of the camera, which was once breathtaking.

The aftermath fell slightly......

The movie reached the end of the plot, and Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel helpless and uneasy in his heart......

And then......

He saw Charlotte. Sally stood up suddenly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Oh my God, I may have seen a classic movie come to life!"

"Mr. Zhou Yang, I can't wait to meet that director named Jeff, he is simply a genius!"

"I haven't seen such an amazing movie in years."

“……”

When seeing Charlotte. When Sally stood up and let out such an emotion, Zhou Yang laughed, realizing that his persistence was not wrong.

But he didn't answer anything, but turned his head to look at Zheng Jun who was not far away.

Jung Jun seemed to stay in the screening hall blankly, still in a state of bewilderment until a round of applause.

……………………

Chinese.

Many filmmakers initially laughed at Once Upon a Time in America.

is outrageous, and even ridiculous to the extreme box office, with a long movie plot and a cumbersome narrative......

But laughing and laughing, they suddenly found that they couldn't laugh.

They patiently watched the third part, and after reviewing it again, they suddenly realized that they were just a joke......
