The environment in which "Rocky" was released was not as crazy as when "The Pianist" was released.
Although the pre-sale tickets sold very well, "The United States 1900" produced by the competitor Columbia Company also sold very well. Even if you really want to count, in a sense, "The United States 1900" is more popular than
"Rocky" is much higher.
The famous Hollywood actress Anelle plays the heroine in my heart, and the famous tough guy Johnny, who won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2003, plays the male lead. Although the supporting role is a little unknown, this can definitely be called a blockbuster movie.
In addition, the name of the movie is also a bargain. The title "American 1900" can easily remind people of 1900, the leading actor in the movie "The Pianist" that bombed the entire Hollywood last year and became the third-ranked movie in the history of Hollywood movies.
1900 played by Lu Yuan is so classic. The last wave suddenly exploded, which not only brought a wave of tears, but also brought a wave of uncontrollable regret. Therefore, the name 1900 has quite a status among international movie fans.
.
"United States 1900", just looking at the name, some people thought it was the sequel or the second part of "The Pianist on the Sea" at first. Although later, after seeing Columbia's production, they understood that this was the same as "The Pianist on the Sea".
"Master" has nothing to do with it, but...
Unable to resist, they also want to see what kind of movie this is, right?
After all, "American 1900" seems to be a musical just like "The Pianist"...
……………………
I can do it!
I can do it!
I decided not to let them down.
In the cinema.
Zad was sitting in a very remote corner.
When he heard the sound of "Rocky" playing, he felt nervous and expectant. Of course, in addition, he also had an uncontrollable sense of inferiority.
Every question asked by the reporters at the premiere cracked a little bit of the strong defense in his heart.
Yes!
He was born in a slum and didn't read much. When he was a boy, he did many disgraceful things. As a young man, he often helped others do things that were not dirty but despised. Entering the police station was regarded as
Common things...
He lived in confusion at the bottom of society, as if he were standing in an abyss, and all he saw was darkness every day.
He originally thought that his life would be like that.
but……
Lu Yuan's appearance was like a ray of light, tearing apart the darkness.
Be an actor?
I?
Okay? What a joke!
At first, he thought Lu Yuan was just making fun of him, so he could be an actor?
But not long after, when Lu Yuan handed him the script of the movie "Rocky" and planned to use Forrest as the director to make the movie, Zadeh realized that Lu Yuan was not joking.
He is serious, and more serious than ever before!
Later, after entering "remote", he found that everything about remote entertainment was very good, and everyone had no pretensions.
For example, when Zaide checked the resume of the actor Wei Wuji who played Rocky's best friend Fatty, he found out that Fatty Wei was a very famous director in China. For example, he lowered his head and realized that the old man who played Rocky's coach turned out to be a man named
Lu Yihong’s middle-aged man…
In the crew, we would listen to Fatty Wei talking about everyone's future plans every day. Occasionally when he was drunk, Fatty Wei would pat Zaid on the shoulder and say something like, "You will also win the Best Actor Award in the future, and you will become a Hollywood superstar."
The longer Zade stays on the set, the more he feels that this is a big and warm family, and the more he cherishes every little thing.
That moment...
He no longer wants to live the life of a gangster!
It is as warm as the warm sun in winter.
Precisely because this light is so good, the more he desires that he can have enough strength to integrate here, and at the same time, make more contributions to this small family. Then, the more he thinks about this, the more inferior he feels, and the more he feels that he is not good enough.
It really lacks so much.
He has great confidence in "Rocky".
However, this time "Rocky" faces "America 1900", and it faces the best actor and best actress...
And myself, just...
A little bastard who is nothing.
this……
"Zade..."
"Huh? Director Forrest, aren't you sitting in the front row? Why..."
"Come here and see, um, you look nervous?"
"I... Forrest, what if the box office results are poor? Will I give it to the company..."
"Zade."
"Um."
"The boss chose you, which means you have no problem at all. You are worried about the attack from the best actor and best actress. But, let me tell you, you don't have to worry about these at all. What kind of opponent you face, that means
You are also such a strong person, and more importantly, this script is tailor-made for you by the boss. It is based on your story and you perform in your true colors, so you can also be the best actor!"
"I am also an actor..."
"The boss actually wants to tell you one thing with this movie...the success or failure of "Rocky" does not matter whether it is good or bad at the box office."
"What?"
"Don't worry about the past, we have to look forward to everything. If there is an opportunity, we have to try our best to fight for it. At the same time, never give up at any time. Just think about Rocky when he met the boxing champion...
…”
"I..." Zad suddenly fell silent.
"The boss told me before that he can also write scripts. You are an indispensable part of the script. The boss has never missed anyone. Although he didn't say anything, I know that he has always regarded you as his future.
The training of movie stars is not about winning movie stars with minor awards, but Oscar movie stars! Every actor in our company will be a superstar in the future, a top star!"
"I, I..." Zaid's eyes were red, and after looking at Forris's expression, he almost cried.
"come on!"
"good!"
Forrest stood up and returned to his seat.
Zaide took a deep breath.
…………………………………………
The movie started showing soon.
In fact, the beginning of "Rocky" looks very dull and boring. From a real look, it really doesn't have many exciting points.
Some of the fans who were attracted by the poster couldn't help but shake their heads, some of them dozed off, and some fans looked at the big screen as if to pass the time.
Allen did not go to see his own "The United States of America 1900", but came to the screening room of "Rocky".
This has become his habit.
He wanted to know what kind of movie "Rocky" was.
However, when Allen saw the beginning of "Rocky", he also felt an indescribable feeling of disappointment.
In his view, this narrative style is completely different from the current popular style in the United States.
And the plot of the movie is a bit slow.
It is just a description of the low-level life of a gangster. Moreover, the background of the era is also the 1960s and 1970s, and the sense of immersion is also somewhat lacking.
Moreover, judging from the development of the plot, Zadeh can't tell that he has any acting skills...
"This is too boring."
"Oh my god, screenwriter Lu Yuan is going to write a plot like this? This is so boring."
"It's better to go next door and watch "United States 1900"..."
"Yeah, forget it..."
"Now I suddenly feel that "Rocky" may really be as popular as these media said. After all, how could he become popular with such an ordinary substitution."
"..."
Allen heard many such complaints.
In fact, Allen felt the same way when watching the movie.
This feeling of boredom didn't start to make sense until more than ten minutes later.
Rocky persuaded a little girl not to fall into depravity. At the same time, he foolishly doubted to himself what qualifications he had. Then he came to the pet shop in a daze and said something to a staff member named "Adrienne"
After hearing the "humorous" jokes that made people feel that they were nutritious, Allen began to feel some sympathy for "Rocky".
At the same time, he found that the initial complaints around him were much less...
The movie gradually enters the plot.
………………………………
In fact, Huaxia Cinemas are also filled with some complaints.
Some people even left without seeing them for ten minutes.
The progress of this movie really makes people feel fucked. They want it to be earth-shattering like a Hollywood blockbuster, or like the charming charm shown by Lu Yuan like "The Pianist on the Sea"...
But Zad.
Well, he behaves like a big fool. Although he is a kind-hearted person with low self-esteem, but...
That's it.
"Ayuan, I suddenly realized what you meant by predicting a movie box office of one billion. Even if I am an outsider, in my opinion, the box office of this movie will only be around one billion at most. This start... is not very good.
OK." Zhou Shuai, who was sitting next to Lu Yuan, glanced at Lu Yuan. His expression of great anticipation when it first came out gradually turned into disappointment...
He even felt that this was one of the most inferior scripts written by Lu Yuan so far.
"Well, yes." Lu Yuan nodded. He didn't have any other emotions, but was calm.
In fact, even if "Rocky" really fails at the box office, he will not lose money.
after all……
The pre-sale tickets on the first day can cover the investment cost. At most, it just depends on how much you earn.
Even if the movie was taken off the shelves one day after its release, he doesn't think it would be a big problem.
You may think that I jumped on the street and lost money.
But actually...
I don't!
Moreover, the real plot of "Rocky" has not really been revealed yet.
Wonderful, it has just begun.
………………………………
The movie still continues to play.
Although a group of movie fans feel that the movie is not as boring as it was at the beginning, they still feel that they should watch it or not.
Rocky's life at the bottom is really like a loser, and he is a loser with little sense of empathy.
The box was robbed by others, and he was taught a lesson by a coach who looked a little rickety. At the same time, the girl he liked didn't like him...
In short, except for the appearance of Fatty Wei and the appearance of Lu Yihong, which surprised the movie fans a little bit, other...
That's it.
Some people are even ready to follow the trend on the Internet and predict that "Rocky" will become the Waterloo in the history of Lu Yuan's films...
after all……
The box office explosion of other people's movies is big news, but Lu Yuan...
All right!
The failure of Lu Yuan’s movie is such big news!
It was enough to shock the whole of China.
However, at this moment, the movie finally reached a very strange point...
Boxing champion Apollo chose his opponent because his opponent was injured and withdrew from the match. It just so happened that Rocky, who lived at the bottom, turned out to be one of the lucky ones!
At this moment, the plot of the entire movie began to gradually change...
After seeing this news, the coach played by Lu Yihong, who had always been very disappointed with Rocky, came to Rocky's house.
Then……
Everyone's eyes suddenly widened.
Zade, who played Rocky, waited until Mick left the room and then suddenly walked out.
Originally peaceful and even a little sad, the sad Rocky suddenly became ferocious.
He broke out.
He punched the toilet door hard!
hysteria!
Roaring, a huge surge of sadness, grievance, and unwillingness, all poured out at once like catharsis!
"Mick, I asked you to help me ten years ago, but you never ignored me..."
"I asked, but you never listened!"
"Talk about your heyday, and mine, Mick, at least you had your heyday!"
"Do you want to see my jokes? Or do you want to see me get beaten?"
"Now, my legs are no longer working, everything is no longer working, no one has given me anything!"
"..."
"It's really great, come to my doghouse!"
…………………………
When Allen saw this scene, he suddenly felt a sore nose for some reason.
The next moment, I heard Zad's roar on the big screen and saw Zad's crazy roar on the screen...
He actually wanted to cry.
This is the sorrow and crazy roar of a little person...
Then...
He suddenly realized that all the ordinary foreshadowing and all the boring plots were just an exaggeration.
This moment!
Rendering explosion!
He suddenly realized that the script of this movie was not a rubbish script, but was very likely to be another masterpiece!
……………………
"Impossible, how could he have such acting skills? He is just a gangster. He has never attended any acting school!"
"No...this is not Zaide's acting skills..."
"What?"
"This is who he is! He's not performing, this is who he is!"
"Boss, are you okay..."
"Lu Yuan is truly a creepy and terrifying opponent!"
"Boss, why do you say that?"
"This script is directly tailor-made for Zaid. In fact, I feel that he is slapping everyone in the face. He is using his absolute talent to illustrate one thing!
"What's up?"
"Even if he is a good-for-nothing little gangster, he can use his absolute talent to turn him into a movie king! In the future, if this movie is rendered well, this movie may really surpass "United States 1900".
…”
Logan, the CEO of Century Corporation, turned extremely pale in an instant after watching halfway through the movie.
