Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

With the increasingly outstanding performances of Helen Mirren, Hathaway and Jacobs Jr., Shanhe and the entire "Room" crew were running smoothly. Shooting was no longer an execution job, but more like a time and again. creation.

Shanhe has put aside the script and the shooting plan. The entire crew is enjoying the passion and beauty brought by creativity. The photographers and lighting engineers have all used their talents to the maximum. The crew has entered an indescribable world. state.

Sometimes, creating art makes people immerse themselves in it and forget everything else!

This is also the reason why many directors only love literary films and look down on commercial productions.

It is impossible for a commercial film to bring such an atmosphere and sense of beauty to the director and crew, because commercial production needs to incorporate a large number of other elements, such as special effects, explosions or big scene shots. The shooting rhythm is completely different from that of feature films, and it is impossible to be so smooth. and freehand brushwork.

In commercial production, directors need to consider more aspects. The shooting plan prepared during the preparation period does not allow for too many changes. Once there are temporary changes, the manpower and funds consumed are immeasurable.

Therefore, execution and organizational skills are more important than creativity in commercial film shooting.

Literary movies do have their own unique beauty and charm!

At this time, Shanhe fully realized the enrichment and grace brought by the movie. He was delighted by it, but he was not intoxicated.

He is very aware of the shortcomings of literary films, which are too niche and too elitist. Shanhe does not want to change his original intention and style. He is thinking about how to add this kind of fresh creativity to commercial production.

The filming of "Room" seems to have brought Shanhe some opportunities to break through himself, and he is focused on this.

This extraordinary state of the crew also brought the heroine Hathaway to another realm.

Different from her previous performances, Hathaway was too fully invested and prepared for the role of Elizabeth. During the studio shooting, she felt a little bit more dramatic, but she always felt a little erratic.

The addition of Helen Mirren, her experience and performance brought opportunities to Hathaway, and Shanhe's filming method of abandoning the script also gave her enough space.

In the scene with the experienced Helen Mirren and the spiritual little Jacob, she completely opened this door.

Hathaway can feel her progress every day. It turns out that this is the true meaning of acting, not only to become the character, but also to transcend the character!

Becoming a character can make the performance smooth, full of emotions, and have more explosive power. Being detached from the role can add more control and creativity to the performance, and bring more temperament and charm to the character. Both are indispensable. , this is the correct way to open the performance.

Hathaway was very excited about this, and both couples devoted themselves to their breakthrough without any external possessions.

But the outside world became more and more noisy under the fire and fan set by their couple.

It's quite funny to say that since "Room" was put on the shelves, the former First Lady of Country M, several well-known female politicians, popular Hollywood actresses, and media reporters have been hyping it for more than half a month. Although feminism has become A hot topic in country M, but it has never been able to fan the fire lit by mountains and rivers into a prairie fire.

But Hathaway lit up Mars with just one interview!

There is no harm without comparison. This saying makes perfect sense. The disparity in the treatment of women between China and Country M immediately aroused the strong anger of many women in Country M. This anger was caused by the natural superiority of the citizens of Country M. More violent:

In their minds, backward and poor Chinese women live with more dignity than themselves. They really cannot accept this fact!

You must give us an explanation!

As a result, under the organization of many women's organizations, a nationwide women's demonstration was staged. Their slogan was "We need dignity, we need change."

Washington, D.C., New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Las Vegas... Hundreds of thousands of housewives and their supporters took to the streets, holding placards and shouting to move forward.

Now, the female politicians were happy. They joined the parade and gave speeches in public.

The former first lady said it most explicitly:

"...This march and movement has gone beyond protest against a certain politician or a certain political party. We are pursuing women's equal rights and women's dignity. Dear fellow women, we need change and you need to vote. A vote that represents your rights!”

Hollywood actresses are not far behind, and popular actresses such as Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, and Jennifer Lawrence are also actively participating.

The women's movement in country M gained great influence from the beginning and gradually spread around the world.

Within a week, women's protest marches were in full swing in London, England, Paris, France, Rome, Italy, Ottawa, Canada, Osaka, Seoul, Frankfurt, Germany, Sydney, Australia and other places.

The "New York Times" of country M reported this global women's movement on its front page with the headline "The Global Women's Wave is Coming".

"Time" also used a picture of a mother holding her child holding aloft a poster of "The Room" as the cover of the magazine, with the title "Breaking Out of "The Room"!"

…

Although Shanhe and his wife did not directly participate in the demonstrations or even express support, they gained a lot. After all, this movement was started by Shanhe and Hathaway was the fan.

Shanhe once again confirmed his reputation as the number one troublemaker in the West!

This sub-trend has even spread to China. On the Internet, "anti-trafficking" and "sexual harassment in the workplace" have become hot topics among female netizens.

However, more melon-eating people still focused on watching the excitement. This was the third large-scale protest incident caused by Shanhe. Not to mention the previous two sentences, it was a waste of Shanhe's ability to make trouble.

"I knew something like this would happen sooner or later. Mountains and rivers have a bit of an evil nature, and they can always poke at the heart of Westerners!"

"Haha... this time it was Shanhe who lit the fire, Hathaway was fanning the wind from the side, and the husband followed the wife. If Hathaway didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known. It turns out that the social treatment of women in country M is not very good!"

"Actually, it's nothing to make a fuss about. Protests and demonstrations are common in Europe and the United States. They are used to it. If they don't do it a few times a year, they will feel uncomfortable all over!"

"Haha... If nothing else, "Young Yi" and "Room" have returned with a wave of blood. Shanhe's luck is really unbelievable!"

…

Indeed, as the fans said, this protest has brought direct benefits to "Young Yi" and "Room".

In its fourth and fifth weeks, "Young Boys" once again scored US$120 million in box office in North America. The cumulative box office in North America has exceeded the US$650 million predicted by the media and is approaching the threshold of US$700 million.

After five weeks of domestic release, "Bring Her Eyes" has once again set a new box office record of 2.4 billion yuan, raising the box office ceiling of Chinese movies to more than 2.5 billion yuan.

According to the predictions of Chinese film professional media, "The Young and the Restless" is very likely to break through the critical value of 3 billion, bringing greater box office space to Chinese-language films.

The box office revenue in European and Asian countries was also considerable, with US$80 million and US$50 million respectively reported in two weeks.

In the five weeks since its release, "Young Boys" has grossed more than 1.8 billion U.S. dollars in global box office. According to this trend, it is not a fantasy to exceed 2 billion U.S. dollars!

The novel "Room" benefited even more. Since the Women's March incident, sales immediately rebounded rapidly.

The global sales in the fifth and sixth weeks exceeded 3 million copies. "Room" has firmly occupied the top sales list in North America, Europe, Asia and other countries for six consecutive weeks, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 2,500. Ten thousand copies, rapidly moving towards 30 million copies.

Disney, Chuhe Film and Television, and Scholar Publishing House are laughing so hard that their teeth are falling out. This money is so comfortable to earn. Not only is it a large amount of money, but it also has its own hot traffic, so you don’t need to spend too much money. It’s just sitting there. Picking up money!

Shanhe's dividend payment is quite positive, and the first dividend has been paid into Shanhe's private account.

The calls from the presidents of the two industry giants were full of compliments and enthusiasm.

The figure of more than 200 million US dollars dazzled Shanhe, who didn't care much about money!

This money is really easy to earn!

Other Hollywood movie giants were salivating at the sight, and while cursing Disney's shit luck, they accelerated the progress of large-scale investment production.

Especially for Warner, the preparation period for "Wonder Woman" has accelerated again, and the shooting date is expected to be advanced to early next year. The Shanhe couple are so capable of causing trouble, and Hathaway's interview can actually incite women across the United States!

What a pity. If "Wonder Woman" were released now, it would perfectly suit the tastes of women, and with Hathaway as the spokesperson for the protest march, how much box office would it have?

The hustle and bustle of the outside world did not cause much interference to the "Room" crew. At this time, the Shanhe couple were fully devoted to their work and insights.

At the end of September, Helen Mirren's role was completed. After more than half a month of contact and cooperation, Hathaway has a good relationship with this aura old woman.

Hathaway learned a lot from Helen Mirren. Before Helen left the set, she took Shanhe together and held a closing banquet for her to express her gratitude according to Chinese custom.

Bruckheimer arrived uninvited. He and Helen Mirren have been old acquaintances for decades. They had a very happy chat together, during which they also talked about the feminist march.

Helen Mirren commented with a smile,

"The situation now is much worse than in the 1970s. At that time, there were dozens of women's federations in every community. There were speeches at gatherings every day, and protest marches were held from time to time. Almost all women participated!"

"is not that right!"

Bruckheimer raised his glass and took a sip of red wine, and joked with a smile,

"Helen, you were a representative figure of feminism back then. I still remember what you said on TV: Why can't a serious actress have big breasts?"

"Fuck you! Damn old gangster, do you only have big boobs in your head?"

"Ha ha…"

Shanhe and Hathaway laughed at the side.

Bruckheimer didn't care about Helen Mirren's retort, raised his glass to greet Helen Mirren, and responded with a smile:

"I'm focusing on the first half: Serious actress, Helen, you are outstanding. You predicted your own success decades ago!"

Helen Mirren looked at Bruckheimer and raised her glass in the same way,

"When we met, you were still a small advertising director. Who would have thought that you would be so successful! Time flies so fast!"

"is not that right!"

Bruckheimer put down his wine glass, sighed, and said solemnly,

"Helen and Anne's performance in "Room" is phenomenal. I can assure you that you are determined to win the Oscar next year or the year after that, and I will try my best to fight for you!"

"hehe…"

Shan He was amused by Bruckheimer's praise.

"Jerry, you can really take credit for yourself. Their performance didn't require much effort from you. Are you trying to earn short favors?"

"Qiu, you really don't understand Hollywood!"

Bruckheimer looked at the mountains and rivers and responded,

"You can't compare yourself with others. There is no comparison. You don't care about the Oscar statuette. You even missed the Oscar ceremony for two consecutive years. Last year's best actress was Jennifer Lawrence, who was pushed by Weinstein. of!"

"Jerry is right!"

Helen Mirren nodded in agreement,

"Harvey Weinstein has great energy and his methods are very dirty. To be honest, he is the bastard who deserves to be crusaded by feminism the most!"

"Yeah?"

Shanhe remembered that Harvey Western was later accused of rape, and was eventually ruined and faced jail. This incident was quite a big deal and was almost universally known.

Hathaway responded:

"Dear, in fact, almost everyone in Hollywood knows about Harvey Westaine's evil deeds, but no one has exposed him. He has a strong network of contacts in Hollywood, and few people can do anything to him!"

"He is indeed a mean person, but there are many rumors that are not true. Some actresses are willing to make deals, such as the evergreen tree!"

"hehe…"

Shanhe smiled. He had no intention of paying attention to these messy things in Hollywood. The world was as dark as crows. There was no shortage of such scum in the entertainment industry.

"Jerry, he won't mess with you, right?"

"Haha...he's not that stupid!"

Shanhe shook his head again and sneered. This is the rule of the game in the West. Demonstrations are just farce. Everyone goes to the streets to shout and vent their emotions, which hardly solves any problems. They can't shake the real rights holders.

There are also many profiteers and thoughtful people of all kinds mixed in. What’s even more ridiculous is that these thoughtful people who openly speak for women and cry out for women secretly deal with rapists, and are even the biggest scum who harm women. The protector.

For example, last year's Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, or a certain former first lady!

It’s so ridiculous and sad!

…

After seeing off Helen Mirren, the filming plan for "Room" came to an end. In the first drizzle of October, the filming came to an end.

"Ending long shot, second shot, ready, action!"

Hathaway held little Jacob's hand, walked through the thick fallen leaves through the dilapidated courtyard, pushed aside the crooked fence, and silently walked out of the wooden house.

Under the gloomy dark clouds, in the long drizzle, and along the bare trees, the mother and son walked farther and farther.

Their backs in the camera became increasingly blurry, and finally disappeared, leaving only the bleakness of autumn and the drizzle of winter!

"Stuck! Perfect shot!"

With the shouts of Shanhe, the filming of the movie "Room" has been completed!

Hathaway was the most excited. She ran all the way over and rushed into Shanhe's arms, hugging her husband tightly.

"Dear, thank you for letting me find the joy of being an actor again!"

"hehe…"

Shanhe hugged his wife and responded with a smile:

"This is my promise to you!"

"Honey, I'm really happy now!"

"You will be happier after getting the statuette!"

"Well, Qiu, after I finish filming "Interstellar," let's have another baby, okay?"

"You make the decision on this matter! I will help!"

"hehe…"

…

As usual, Shanhe held a closing banquet at the best restaurant in the town of Squamish, and personally paid for the entire crew to travel to Canada for free for a week.

The day after filming wrapped, Shanhe and his wife said goodbye to the crew and little Jacob's family, boarded the "Little Flying Bear" and headed to New York to pick up Little Bear back home.
