Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Bruckheimer is right, "Yi Yi" and "Room" are still running rampant around the world in their third week of release and release, leaving media around the world in awe.

Thanks to the word-of-mouth effect of "The Young Man", the influence of Shanhe, and the hot sales of the novel "Room", the movie's global popularity remains high.

China is the home base of Shanhe, so there is no shortage of viewers for "The Young Man". The film schedules for "The Young Man" in various theaters are more than 60%. Even though it has been released for two weeks, there is still an endless stream of movie fans and audiences.

Especially for 3D shows, the average attendance rate remains above 70%, and 3DIMAX shows are all sold out.

In the third week, "The Young and the Restless" still collected 580 million domestic box office figures, beating out Hollywood blockbusters such as "Elysium" and "The Wolverine 2".

The cumulative domestic box office in the three weeks has approached 2 billion yuan.

The box office decline of "Yi Yi" in North America will inevitably continue to increase in the third week. The box office will exceed 100 million US dollars in the three days of the weekend, a drop of more than 60% compared with last weekend.

However, the box office base of "The Young Ones" is too high. Even if it drops significantly, the figure of over 100 million in three days on weekends is still out of reach for other movies.

Including the box office on four working days, the cumulative box office in North America in the third week exceeded 150 million US dollars.

Including European and Asian countries, the global box office of "Yi Yi" still reached 350 million US dollars in its third week.

The cumulative total box office is close to 1.5 billion US dollars!

The media's box office forecast for "The Young and the Restless" has been updated again, with a North American box office of 650 million US dollars and a global box office of 1.8 billion US dollars.

As a result, Shanhe's head has been adorned with countless halos, and titles such as "Box Office Ruler", "Business Emperor", and "Literary Caesar" have fallen on him.

Neon Media was the most exaggerated, directly calling Shan He "the strongest genius in five hundred years" and "the strongest king in the universe"!

Domestic media also gave Shanhe titles such as "China's Unparalleled Genius" and "China's Light".

However, the domestic public is not particularly excited. Everyone is mentally prepared. What they are most keen on is not to praise Shanhe, but to be like a bunch of people. Watching foreign media and netizens praise Shanhe in various ways, they will comment casually. The district made fun of them.

"Westerners' vocabulary is too rigid, and they can only boast a few words. Look at the neon media. They have risen from 'the strongest on the surface' to 'the king of the universe'!"

"Haha... When it comes to Secondary 2, I only believe in Neon people. Have you seen the introduction video of Shanhe on Neon TV? There is a long prelude to the fire explosion. After the pictures of Shanhe came out, the background was all made of 50 cent animation special effects. It made me laugh out loud!"

"That's the highest praise anyone can give. In neon comics, every big boss appears like this!"

"Shanhe is really perverted. This time he directly made two mistakes. I really don't know how far "Young Yi" and "Room" will go?"

"I'm not surprised at how far it goes, everyone is used to it anyway!"

…

One of the important reasons why "Young Boys" has such box-office longevity is the craze among women watching "Room". Together with the enthusiasm of female consumer groups, the level of craziness cannot be matched by men.

With this book "Room" and the tears of Elizabeth and Tate, Shanhe has earned enough favor among female consumer groups!

There is no shortage of groups of female audiences of all ages in theaters around the world. When it comes to couples or families watching movies, the vast majority of decision-makers are women, and the impact on the box office can be imagined.

And "Room" can create such a buzz in the female world. European and American feminists have widely used it to attract attention, and it plays a major role in attracting attention!

Ten years later, female politicians from all over the world have raised their heads and launched an attack on the highest positions of political power in various countries. Not only in many European and American countries, but also in many countries in South America and Asia!

Ever since a certain former first lady of country M and a female boss of Germany spoke highly of "Room", this novel has become the best propaganda tool for female politicians from various countries. It is often used as an example and analogy!

Feminists from other walks of life were not to be outdone. They compared the basement where Elizabeth and her son were imprisoned in "The Room" to a cage of prejudice against women in Western society. They loudly called on the female community to bravely stand up and break this "room"!

Hollywood is the loudest place among them. Actresses have spoken out to protest various injustices against women in Hollywood.

Of course, the biggest protest is about film pay. Compared with Hollywood actresses and male actors, the pay gap is huge, often as much as dozens of times.

Hathaway, who returned to country M, quickly changed back to the style of a popular Hollywood actress. She would not let go of this perfect opportunity for publicity. This was started by my husband. How can I just let you guys " bith" to take advantage!

Within days she had quickly become Hollywood's leading figure in feminism, replacing Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett.

In an interview with NBC, Hathaway even compared the treatment of Chinese women.

“You always report that China is backward and poor, but look at the treatment of women in China. Women receive special protection by law during menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. Not only do they have three to four months of paid maternity leave, but they also receive During the breastfeeding period, female employees must not reduce their wages or fire them. Women also have their own holidays. They enjoy their own holidays every year and are respected by the public!

As for the United States, you have been saying that we are the most democratic and developed country in the world, but where are the protection laws for our women? Thirty years ago, my mother lost the opportunity to work because she gave birth to a child, but thirty years ago Years later, the situation has not changed at all. In country M, having a child is a luxury and requires many women to work hard for decades or even a lifetime! Is this fair? Why do we have to sacrifice so much?

Country M needs a women's and child protection law. Women are not the vassals of men. Every woman has the right to pursue her dreams and needs equal opportunities! "

Once Hathaway's interview was broadcast, it immediately caused a huge response among ordinary women in country M.

Many people went online and found out that what Hathaway said was absolutely correct. The treatment of women in China is actually much better than that in Country M.

Comparing people to each other makes people angry!

In the eyes of ordinary people in Country M, China is an ignorant and backward country, and most of the poor people do not have enough to eat. But why do women in such a place actually live with more dignity than those in the wealthy and democratic Country M?

The anger arose from this. These bullshit media and those in power would cheat us taxpayers. We must protest. If we don’t protest, we will be disrespectful to our constitution and democratic system!

When Hathaway came to Vancouver on the "Little Flying Bear", the Internet in Country M was already full of resentment. Countless women vented their dissatisfaction on their social accounts and told about the unfair treatment they had received!

Depending on the situation, this resentment will soon spread into reality.

Shanhe also saw his wife's interview under Xu Ahui's reminder, and learned about the impact this interview had on the people of M country, and couldn't help but laugh and cry about it.

My wife is really not a fuel-saving lamp. She can really take advantage of her Chinese daughter-in-law and compare China with Country M. The incitement is too strong. Isn't this clearly giving eye drops to the women of Country M!

The eye-catching painting of the "Little Flying Bear" landed at the Vancouver Airport. Seeing this cute little bear with wings, everyone knew that Hathaway had come to Vancouver.

After Shanhe picked up his wife, who was surrounded by reporters, into the car at the airport, he casually laughed at her,

"Look, you are causing trouble for yourself. Why are you joining in the fun and getting involved in all that mess?"

"Honey, you don't understand!"

Hathaway turned her head and gave her husband a kiss.

"This is the survival rule of Hollywood. Now that I have returned to my role as an actor, I have to make good use of these social hot spots. This is a responsible attitude towards investors and projects. In this way, I will have greater influence and appeal in the circle. Li, besides, this is a book my husband wrote for me, why should I let others take advantage of it?”

Shan He looked at his wife and couldn't help but smile.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to directly compare China with Country M?"

"Is there anything wrong? I don't think so!"

Hathaway smiled and replied,

"In Country M, political correctness is the most important direction. Today's political correctness is feminism. I am a Chinese wife and a Chinese mother. I have an unbroken blood relationship with China. Isn't it normal to talk about China! "

"Okay, you make up your own mind!"

Shanhe agreed with his wife's answer and stopped talking about this topic.

"How is Little Bear? Are you getting used to living in New York?"

"Don't mention it, that brat Bernie was so happy that he even forgot about me, my mother! Before I got on the plane, he didn't feel reluctant at all!"

Mentioning her son, Hathaway immediately smiled.

"My parents, Michael and Thomas were so well prepared. They took Bernie everywhere for the past few days. He went to amusement parks and Disneyland and he could play whatever he wanted and eat whatever he wanted. Buy tickets for NBA, NFL, and MLB games and take Bernie to the games. The brat loves the excitement and crowds, and he forgets everything when he’s happy!”

"Haha... It would be nice to let him spend a few more days with Gerald and Kate. They are indeed too quiet in New York!"

"Isn't it? My mother started talking to me about having a child again. She always said that a child is too lonely, and it would be better to have two younger brothers and sisters!"

"Ha ha…"

…

With the arrival of Hathaway, the crew of "Room" got into working mode. Bruckheimer made very thoughtful arrangements, and found locations and actors that met Shanhe's requirements.

Squamish is one of the towns closest to Vancouver. It is located under the Rocky Mountains and is very similar to Amstetten, Austria. It has a small population and beautiful scenery, with towering mountains and dense coniferous forests.

The arrival of the "Room" crew brought rare excitement to this quiet town. The constant stream of reporters and tourists from Vancouver to watch the excitement gave the town a bit of urban noise.

The filming crew chose an old community in the town as their location base.

In the first two days, the filming progress was very slow. The reason was not the crew and actors, but the weather.

The sun has been shining brightly in Squamish these past few days, and the weather has been surprisingly good, but that's not good news for the crew of "The Room."

Mountains and rivers require a large area of ​​cool-toned natural light, and artificial lighting is used to set off the warm light in the lens.

Like the plot, there are times when the sun shines brightly, but they are very rare. After shooting these scenes, the entire crew is in a state of rest and can only work for an hour or two in the early morning or evening.

However, the crew was not in a hurry. Waiting for light, rain, snow, etc. are very common operations in location shooting. Instead, they could take advantage of the good weather to explore the surrounding scenery.

The only one who was a little anxious was the director Shan He. September is the autumn in Vancouver, which is the best window period for filming. There are fallen leaves all over the ground, bare tree crowns, and a bleak winter scenery.

Once it's postponed to October, Vancouver will usher in the rainy season, and the shooting plan will face serious delays, and my entire work plan will have to change accordingly.

Fortunately, God has not been too hard on the mountains and rivers. After a week of warm autumn sunshine, Squamish finally ushered in the change of weather before the rainy season.

The entire crew immediately started working at high speed. They had to complete all the exterior shots before the rainy season came.

The actor who plays Elizabeth's mother Nancy is Helen Mirren. She is quite famous in the Western film circle. Her experience is somewhat similar to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan actor Shu Qi.

She was famous for her beauty when she was young. She was famous for being bold in taking off her clothes, speaking out, and showing off her personality!

In 2006, Helen Mirren, who was in her sixties, won back her dignity with the movie "The Queen" and won the Venice Best Actress and Oscar Best Actress, sweeping the entire award season. Her performance in the film was unquestionable!

Coincidentally, the Venice Film Festival in 2006 was the beginning of Shanhe's global conquest with "Moon".

At that time, Helen Mirren was deeply impressed by this unexpected Chinese young man. In the following years, she witnessed this young man soaring into the sky and flying higher and higher, and she was often filled with emotion about this!

When Helen Mirren received the script invitation from Shan He, she took it very seriously. After reading the script, she accepted the supporting role invitation without hesitation.

In Helen Mirren's opinion, the role of the heroine's mother Nancy in this film is quite brilliant and it is a very good opportunity!

Nancy, like the heroine Elizabeth, is also a mother who is desperate to protect her daughter and grandson.

Her daughter has been missing for seven years. Nancy has accepted the reality that her daughter will never come home again. But suddenly one day, her daughter escapes from captivity and returns to her with a grandson who was born of sin. This news has a huge impact on Nancy. Earth-shaking.

She was heartbroken by what happened to her daughter, hated the perverts who brought endless pain to women, and felt complicated about the sudden appearance of her grandson, but in the end she decided to tolerate the child and save her daughter and grandson at all costs.

Her husband couldn't accept a sinful grandson, so she divorced her husband. No matter what happened, she stayed with her daughter and grandson. On the one hand, she wanted to deepen the relationship with her daughter and grandson, but she had to work hard to overcome their dark past. , the love and pain, struggle and tolerance contained in it are indescribable.

This is a very deep character!

Helen Mirren even feels that with this role, she can have another shot at the Oscars, especially in Hua Xiaqiu's film.

She was well prepared for this role and had experienced it in a welfare institution for a full month in advance.

As soon as she entered the filming, Helen Mirren's performance wowed Shanhe. She is an experienced actor, and she played a heartbroken and struggling mother and grandmother very well.

Hathaway, Jacob Jr., and Helen Mirren, the three of them began to play with each other in the subsequent filming.

The three of them promoted each other and brought full chemical effects to the entire crew. Shanhe even improvised several long shots because of their performances.

Taking a good shot and making a good movie is an extremely wonderful enjoyment for the director, which can be described as hearty.

Shanhe experienced this beauty during location filming in Squamish.

He understood why Wong Kar-Wai didn't like to use scripts when making movies. Sometimes the actor's feelings are the most direct inspiration. When shooting with this kind of impromptu inspiration, the spirituality in the shots cannot be achieved step by step!

When shooting a feature film, having good actors is so important to the director!
