Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, "Brokeback Mountain" officially started publicity.

is different from other commercial films, "Brokeback Mountain", as a literary film, did not have such a large scale of publicity and distribution at the beginning.

After all, this is an award-winning literary film, and what many media predicted was just that "Brokeback Mountain" would be considered a great success if it could return to its original origins.

However, with "Brokeback Mountain" winning the Golden Lion Award in September, it then caused a boycott in North America, and then faintly set off a confrontation between the two sides, forming a social controversy to a certain extent.

"Brokeback Mountain", its popularity seems to be also in the Christmas schedule in December, stepping on some commercial movies to start breaking out.

Of course, popularity can translate into a certain box office, but not all.

As the heat grows, the more controversy it brings is just bigger.

There are rumors through the grapevine that the movie is likely to last less than a month before being forced off the shelves by some groups.

There are also rumors of grapevine that someone has begun to boycott Lu Ping'an.

Then somewhere in North America, several theaters announced that they would not release "Brokeback Mountain".

This drew applause from supporters and, of course, protests from supporters.

It's just that the "same" group is actually not a climate in the United States at the moment, so on the whole, Lu Ping'an and "Brokeback Mountain" are at a disadvantage, and Lu Ping'an has once again encountered a big hurdle in Hollywood.

If you really want to say whether the movie has a direction or not, you can actually look at the original book.

But public opinion, how can it be so easy to brake the car.

So at this time, you still have to use movies to speak.

And before that, what Lu Ping'an has to do is still not to clarify.

Instead, he used this window to further expand the popularity, and then marketed himself again, telling everyone that "I am very good, and I will still succeed this time".

If this wave passes successfully, then the next road will not only be able to rush high again, but the journey to the Olympics will also be smooth.

After all, before the Oscar nomination, the most important thing is public relations.

And in the public relations link, heat is the most important.

Let thousands of judges know and like it, this is the way to success in the Olympic Games.

So before the movie is released, it's not very important to trace the real cause of the controversy and clarify what is right or wrong.

This kind of thing, to get to the bottom of it and to clarify right and wrong is itself wrong.

The correct thing to do is to stir up a tide in public opinion.

Entertainment to death, that's the truth.

So in this outlet, the first program on Lu Ping'an and the creators is the current top-level program of the Lao Mei talk show: "Oprah Talk Show".

That night, on the "Oprah Talk Show", the 51-year-old black fat sister Oprah asked Lu Ping'an, who was sitting on the sofa interview seat:

"Not so good now?"

"Yes."

"Any thoughts?"

"A familiar feeling."

"Familiar?"

"yes, my movies are like that before every release, I'm used to it."

Lu Ping'an confidently spread his hands, his eyes were resolute, and he felt as if the trouble in front of him was inconspicuous.

"Well, Lu, I know you're very confident, you also have the strength to be confident, I used to be able to punch the doubters every time, the fist was very heavy, and it hurt to beat people, I knew it when I watched "Chainsaw".

Oprah touched her face.

The audience laughed.

Oprah patted Lu Ping'an's knee: "I like jigsaw (the villain in "Chainsaw"), does he have a boyfriend?" ”

Hahaha, the scene laughed again.

After a simple rhythm, Oprah asked again, "But this time it's not my boy, this theme, well, you know, here it's similar to the word that starts with N, this time you might really get in trouble." ”

Oprah followed the text, exaggerating and magnifying things.

Lu Ping'an immediately explained very naturally:

"I know, but it's a good thing for me."

"Is this still a good thing?"

"Of course, before the release of "Chainsaw", the deepest impression of the American people and the media was "Memory Block Cabin", at that time the short film had just been nominated for an Oscar, and "Chainsaw" was about to be released, and everyone didn't think that the Chinese director who made such a warm animated short film could make a good movie, let alone a horror film, and it was an American horror film, and finally everyone knew that Ms. Oprah's ideal boyfriend was a jigsaw."

Hahaha, the audience laughed.

Lu Ping'an continued: "Before the release of "Happy Death Day", no one thought that I could control American comedy, some people didn't watch it, and they said that Chinese jokes didn't work here, and many more people felt that I couldn't use a small-budget movie to succeed a second time, but everyone knew that there were no Chinese jokes in the movie, and I made a lot of money, and I had a lot of horror and comedy fans. ”

The audience applauded.

Lu Ping'an continued: "Before the release of "Batman", no one thought that I could make a good superhero movie, everyone thought that I would play Batman badly, before the movie was released, I also saw someone on the Internet saying that I don't want to see a Batman who can only 'hey ha-ada' (discriminating against Chinese kung fu onomatopoeia), but everyone saw that Batman didn't have hey-ha-ada, he lived the way everyone wanted to see, and I also had a lot of superhero fans. ”

This time, the applause was even more enthusiastic.

Lu Ping'an looked at the camera: "Now, "Brokeback Mountain" is about to be released, no one thinks that I can make a good love movie, and it is also a love movie with a sensitive theme, some people think that I will mess around and bring a lot of people, I just want to say this, you still don't know me well enough, now I will tell you, those friends who like romance movies, if you want to become my fans, you can start queuing now!" ”

Confident and heroic, but there is no shortage of just the right amount of humor.

The Yankees had the best of this.

Bang la

The audience applauded thunderously.

Oprah clapped and then asked, "So, you see Brokeback Mountain as a romance movie, not a same-sex movie?" ”

That's the key point of this talk show.

Oprah certainly has seen it, and she knows that this question is not very smart.

But here's a talk show, and the problem is for people in front of the TV.

Lu Ping'an smiled and said the last keyword: "That's right, this is the most beautiful love story that transcends gender, class, and Eastern and Western cultures." ”

"After watching the movie, you will know that everyone has a brokeback mountain in their hearts, it is a dream that can never be reached, maybe it is a person or a thing, in short, you poured all your feelings into trying to keep him, but you can't do it, in everyone's heart, there is a deep mountain called 'once upon a time' that cannot be let go and cannot be returned."

Lu Ping'an threw out the original words of Li An.

The original time and space "Brokeback Mountain" was invincible in 2005, and in the end, the last mountain of the Oscar remained.

Li An was asked in an interview with the media, "Why do you want to make such a movie about cowboys of the same sex?" He replied, "Because every man has a brokeback mountain in his heart." ”

It's just that just as the listener clenched his fists and wanted to listen to a more profound and delicate explanation, he didn't expect Li An to change his words and say: "When I was filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I felt that 'everyone has a green sword in their hearts', and when I filmed "Hulk" in 2003, I also felt that 'everyone has a Hulk in their hearts'".

At this time, you can almost imagine the trademark shy and slightly cunning look on Li An's face, it turns out that "everyone has xxx in their hearts", which is a panacea answer.

It's like his famous quote "I can't read it, but I'm blown away".

It is likely that it is really because Li An's English is not particularly good and he can't think of any clever answers.

However, this does not affect the fame of these "famous sayings" all over the world.

Because what can become a famous word itself has its majestic vitality.

Like now.

Lu Ping'an finished speaking.

The applause rang out for at least half a minute.

Everyone hasn't seen the movie, but they have indeed been "fooled".

That's enough.

When the movie is released, everyone will naturally feel the real power of this sentence more deeply.

At that time, Lu Ping'an will no longer need any other explanation.

Just be a beautiful man quietly.
