…
Countless reviews came overwhelmingly, and those curious audiences entered the theater invariably, and then invariably promoted the play.
"Oh God, the heroine is so beautiful, there is no doubt that I am in love with her!"
"It's such a pity that this drama is restricted. Otherwise, I would definitely let my children watch it!"
"The story is exciting and touching, and the shooting effect is beyond praise!"
"It is simply a miracle that a ** movie can reach this level!"
…
"Magic Yang once again proved with his movie that pornographic movies can be shot like this!"
"Who says China is willing to let itself down? I think it is constantly innovating!"
"Those who used to laugh at him, despise him, or even hate him have probably been slapped in the face now!"

With the **, this R-rated movie was released in the top eight theaters. After its release, it performed well both in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. So with the help of Paramount and Lionsgate Pictures, it was released on a large scale this week

It can be said that this high-quality pornographic film has attracted the attention of countless people. Countless movie fans continue to walk into the cinema. The Christmas period, which was already about to end, has unexpectedly entered the movie-watching blowout season...
By the way, before that, most moviegoers only dared to sneak into shabby little theaters in mean streets, and the atmosphere in the theater was silent and solemn, with everyone keeping as much distance as possible from others.
Now, they are all queuing up in front of the spacious and bright theater, talking and laughing loudly in front of the interview camera, saying that they are waiting to watch "Saving Rachel," because it seems that everyone else is rushing to watch it.
So, at the end of this Christmas, watching pornographic movies becomes a shared experience, where everyone can satisfy their curiosity and talk loudly to each other about their experiences, as if they were attending a noisy carnival.
As Henry the Dead Elephant proclaims: “Let’s make this Christmas colorful.”
Now, Yi Feiyang has done it!
…
In its third month after being screened in Los Angeles, "Saving Rachel" continues to attract large crowds and box office revenue continues to hit new highs.
According to a report published by American Movie Magazine on March 18, 1999, Superstar Cinema was fully booked for Friday afternoon shows, and there was still a long queue of spectators waiting to enter, including single women, young couples and middle-aged couples.
A young couple and a few old women carrying shopping bags.
It is really incredible that a pornographic movie can attract audiences of all ages.
In the past, most of the adult films were single-reel short films that could only be shown in underground theaters for specific groups of people to watch.
"Saving Female Soldier Rachel" is a feature film with a complete structure and a relatively high production level. The most important thing is that it incorporates many touching war scenes. It is a brand-new attempt for Japanese movies.
, so it can be more easily accepted by the general audience.
"Saving Rachel" has swept the mainstream film market since the beginning of 1999 and has become one of the top-grossing films in the first half of the year. This grand occasion inspired New York Times reporter Prem Halls,
On March 25, 1999, an article titled "** Trend" was published.
In the article, Preman-Halls described in detail how pornographic films have become increasingly strong and have become a new trend in society under the promotion of Paramount and Lionsgate Pictures. As the director of this film
The creator, Yi Feiyang of China, has undoubtedly become the spokesperson for this kind of war porn movie.
A group of World War II veterans, as well as Vietnam War veterans, couldn't stand it any longer. They objected to this kind of movie that packages pornography as a war, thinking it was "blasphemous" to war-themed movies and war-themed stories.
The opposition of this group of people is supported by the American right-wing politics. In fact, what the right-wing politics cannot tolerate is the existence of the Chinese director "Yi Feiyang"!
Therefore, under the intervention of the government, "Saving Female Soldier Rachel" was harshly classified as NC-17 on the basis of R-restricted rating, and then directly downgraded from NC-17 to X-rated, that is to say
Major theaters are no longer allowed to show this film.
This ban has been jointly supported by 23 states in North America. However, for the majority of the people, the meaning of "ban" is equivalent to "must-see". The government's ban has invisibly helped "Saving Female Soldiers Rui".
Autumn" was the most successful free publicity.
Mainstream film critics originally ignored the existence of "Saving Rachel". This new type of war-related film confused them and they were unable to give a correct positioning. Later, as the number of audiences gradually increased, major major film critics
Only then did mainstream newspapers and magazines join the ranks of reporting, including the Times of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, as well as Time Magazine and Newsweek, etc., all of which published exclusive interviews and reviews of ** movies.
Because this movie has generally attracted the attention of the audience, is ambitious and adventurous enough, and has high reporting value, it can interest readers. News and drama programs on various TV stations also include "Saving Rachel, a Female Soldier"
It is used as a topic of discussion or ridicule, especially in some funny talk shows. The more famous one is a joke made by comedian Bob Hooper. He said: "I like watching war movies, so I ran to watch "
"Rachel", I thought "Rachel" was "Ryan"'s biological sister!"
In the first half of 1999, it was the time when the box office of the North American film market in the United States was the most sluggish after various periods. However, there was a low-cost pornographic film that made a lot of money. Of course, people in Hollywood were particularly jealous, which indirectly affected the
The route they took to film.
Several Hollywood porn film directors and film critics believe that the drama "Rachel" has made a good start. This year, many porn movies may be shot or released collectively, and Hollywood movies will gradually To develop towards more openness, perhaps ** movies and mainstream movies will be integrated into one in the future.
Of course, these are just some beautiful dreams, and they have not really been realized in the future. However, it is not surprising to hear that the Paramount studio is really secretly ****ing movies.
In fact, there were many famous directors a long time ago, such as Frances Capola and Wes Crevan, who had made adult films before they became famous. It is said that Stanley Kubrick also had plans to make films during his lifetime* *movie, but this may just be a rumor.
No matter what, by May 1999, the drama "Saving Rachel" had become a god-defying movie. As the starring role, Stormi rose to the top and became a world-class porn star that attracted worldwide attention. Countless young American men took it as their own. She regarded her as the woman in her dreams, and her photos were plastered all over her bedside and bedroom. Their popularity was staggering.
And Stormi herself is constantly being interviewed and filmed. However, she always likes to say one thing in interviews, that is: "If it weren't for China Yi, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
As the leading actor, Otori Rucci has swept away his previous frustrations. He has conquered countless audiences with his superb acting skills. But what everyone is more envious of is his romantic encounters in the play, and his ability to meet Stowe If you act in a sex drama, you can be happy with a kiss.
However, Otori Luqi said in an interview: "Everyone only sees that I am lucky and happy, but they don't know how difficult it is to shoot the scene in the trenches in the ice and snow!"
Big Bird Rucci is also proud, but he is not like Stormi, who has countless film appointments. In this regard, female stars are always more popular than male stars. Rucci doesn't care, because in his opinion Come on, I have found a breakthrough in my career, and it is just around the corner to soar into the sky.
At the end of May, the total global box office of this god-defying movie "Saving Rachel" has reached an astonishing 880 billion!
Some people even speculate that if this is not a pornographic film restricted by ratings, if the audience can be more open-minded, and if the Christmas schedule is extended a little more, then this "Saving Female Soldier Rachel" * movie, its box office will exceed Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan"!
This view is shared by many people.
But the facts are facts. With an investment of 300,000 US dollars and a box office of 88 million, Yi Feiyang used his incredible talent to create a miracle.
However, according to the agreement between Yi Feiyang and Henry the Elephant during his lifetime, all the box office profits of this drama will be donated. In other words, on behalf of Top Film Company, Yi Feiyang will donate all the tens of millions of box office profits received as a charity fund to We visited the US Charity Headquarters and left nothing behind!
Such a move undoubtedly pushed "Rachel" to a new level again. Even those who originally arbitrarily criticized the show have shut up this time.
Various media outlets in the United States even followed up on this donation and praised Yi Feiyang as a "grand master" and "charity ambassador" in the film field.
However, Yi Feiyang did not accept these two titles. For him, these titles were too high for him and he could not afford them.
This reaction was reported by some media as --- humility! (To be continued.)
