Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth
Chapter 455: This matter is not over yet, just wait!
Amid calls from Western mainstream media to "fall down the hill", "Room" was released as usual.
On Wednesday, the last day of April, Disney arranged the premiere two days in advance. Shanhe was absent from the ceremony as scheduled, but Hathaway came.
Hathaway, who is five months pregnant, has already had a swollen belly. She wore a light blue silk water-sleeved dress that made her plump figure full of charm. On the red carpet, she looked like a harvest goddess, which impressed the reporters and fans present. There was constant shouting and taking pictures.
As Shanhe's wife and a native of China, Hathaway is undoubtedly the focus of interviews by reporters. The controversy caused by Shanhe in European and American media has naturally become the core topic of questions.
"Annie, there has been a lot of controversy over what Qiu did and said in the media recently. What do you think of this?"
Hathaway's answer was very fierce. In an instant, she changed from a graceful goddess to a husband-protecting demon.
"I feel angry about this. I don't understand why Qiu's choice makes these people attack. He just did what he should do. Is it wrong to love his country? Is it wrong to speak out for his compatriots? Promote Is it wrong to ban drugs? These reports and remarks are simply rumors and slander. They always like to ignore the facts, look at others subjectively and narrowly, like to use ideology and prejudice to classify people, and use double standards to define others. My husband is A great writer and director, he has a pure and great personality, there is no doubt about it!”
"Annie, shouldn't artists maintain their independence? If Qiu becomes a spokesperson for rights, can he still be called an artist?"
"Haha... the whole world knows that Qiu never accepts endorsements!"
Hathaway looked at the reporter who asked the question and replied with a sneer,
"This is all your subjective conjecture. You didn't understand the facts at all, so you started to make accusations. I have read the script of "Operation Mekong". It is a perfect action movie that combines business and reality. It is very passionate but also not lacking." On reflection, Qiu has not changed his style. I don’t want to explain too much to you. Qiu is very proud. He doesn’t bother to fight back against your remarks. You don’t need to verify whether he is an artist or not!”
"Annie, how much impact do you think the criticism from the media and Western mainstream cultural circles will have on Yau's international reputation? Will the box office prospects of "Room" be hindered?"
"Look at history. Great artists always have to experience unreasonable suspicion and attacks, but their works will speak for themselves. I have great trust in my husband and I adore him! As for the box office of "Room", we will wait and see. Truth, kindness and beauty are always more popular than unwarranted malice!”
…
After dealing with reporters, Hathaway waved to the cheering fans and walked into the China Grand Theatre.
The premiere of "Room" was still star-studded. In addition to the Shanhe couple's friends, there were more Hollywood movie stars and producers than expected.
People who can gain a foothold in Hollywood's fame and fortune are smart enough, and they understand Shanhe's power in Hollywood better than those literati and scholars.
With the passing of Jobs, Shanhe has become Disney's largest individual shareholder. Based on this alone, he is as stable as a rock in Hollywood, not to mention the unrivaled record of him and Bruckheimer in Hollywood. They have a tacit understanding of each other. From interests to feelings, the two of them are truly the best combination and have a close relationship.
Bruckheimer is not someone to be trifled with. The old gangster has been in Hollywood for decades, has connections all over the world, and has a reputation for not being stingy. Once he is provoked, even the Oscar Academy will still dare to bite him, and he will bite them until they are covered in blood and embarrassed!
Don't look at Harvey Western's showmanship in Hollywood. He seems to be extremely awesome. If he really meets an old gangster, he has to come up to him and say hello honestly and respectfully!
If you want to touch Huaxia Qiu, you are touching Bruckheimer and Disney's cream cake, and you are making enemies of them. The media's criticisms that are just scratching the surface will not have any effect on Huaxia Qiu. If you want to completely stink Huaxia Qiu, you must first destroy Huaxia Qiu. He was kicked out as a Disney shareholder!
But this idea is almost impossible. Without mentioning the huge benefits that Huaxia Qiu has brought to Disney, just looking at the increasingly large and delicious cake of the Huaxia film market, Disney will continue to deepen its relationship with Huaxia Qiu and Chuhe Film and Television.
Almost all of Hollywood knows that some specious controversies cannot affect Huaxia Qiu's status in Hollywood. Therefore, almost no one in Hollywood participated in the "Qiu Qiu" incident. Even the Oscar Academy, which has always had a grudge against Shanhe, remained silent.
As soon as Hathaway entered the theater, she exchanged pleasantries with the guests as a hostess. As the wife of Shanhe, the proprietress of Chuhe Film and Television, and a rich man on the Forbes list of richest people, she naturally appeared in the eyes of others. There is an air of grace and grace.
Before the movie was screened, Hathaway took the stage to give a speech on behalf of her husband. The pregnant Hathaway was more emotional and had great emotional ups and downs. What she said on the stage was very emotional.
"..."Room" was inspired by Bernie and I, but it is based on reality. Reality is more cruel than novels and movies. I would like to thank this great mother here for her love that transcends all. Her children also created this story and touched the world.
There will always be too much evil and evil in this world, and we cannot change it. Fortunately, everyone is still pursuing truth, goodness and beauty. I hope this movie can bring a bit of clarity to the murky reality! On behalf of Qiu and the entire cast, thank you all for coming to the premiere! "
Hathaway's speech gave the theater a sad atmosphere in advance.
After the applause, the movie began to be shown. Shanhe's version of "Room" has the same plot as the original version, but they are two completely different films.
The movie begins with a basement skylight shrouded in warm light. In the child's simple voice-over, the whole picture is warm and colorful, giving people a fairy-tale feeling, and this feeling is the tone of the first half of the film.
Shanhe tells a sinful story from the child's simple and beautiful perspective. As the mother told the child, the basement is the whole world, and they live in a fairy tale.
The mother and son get along in the narrow basement with warmth and even a bit of joy. Even the quarrels and cold wars have a warm tone. Even the appearance of the perverted captor has some fairy-tale demonic colors. The mother and son's escape journey is more like a fantasy adventure in a fairy tale.
Only in Hathaway's delicate performance can the audience feel the mother's hidden pain and let everyone understand the helpless reality born in sin.
Shanhe's advantage in storytelling is fully demonstrated in the first half of the film. Although the audience knows the plot of the film, they are still attracted by the experience of the mother and son who have been imprisoned in the basement for six years.
From the daily warmth to the mother's decision to tell her growing son the reality, from the appearance of the perverted captor to the worsening life of the mother and son, the mother realized that they might starve to death in the basement, from the mother's decision to let her son escape from the basement first, to the thrilling escape process. The audience seemed to be in a real-life fairy tale with ups and downs!
They were worried about the experience of the mother and son, moved by their sincere feelings, and happy that they could escape.
Unlike the fairy-tale life in the basement, the outside world is full of coldness, because they escaped in autumn, and the mother and son faced the cold of winter.
The movie slowly transitioned from the perspective of the child to the perspective of the bystander, and the warm tones in the picture gradually turned into cold colors. Both the mother and the child needed to walk out of the dark fairy tale world in their hearts. All this is not easy!
The audience followed the rhythm of the movie to experience the pain and fear of the mother and son facing reality. They did not just need to face each other and have each other like in the basement. They needed to adapt to this cruel society and accept the different views and intentions of more people.
The mother endured much more than the child. He walked out of the basement where he had been imprisoned for six years, but his heart remained there!
She was full of fear and disappointment for herself and the future. She decided to escape by leaving this world. The child once again saved his mother from body to soul. When the child cut off the long hair that he had always cherished and begged his grandmother to bring the hair to his desperate mother in the hospital, the whole theater fell into sadness and moved. All the audience guests could not help but burst into tears, and some girls even burst into tears.
There was no sensationalism in the movie, but it was extremely sincere. The last twenty minutes of the movie were almost soaked in the audience's tears.
It was not until the mother overcame the inner difficulties and the mother and son hugged each other tightly in the courtyard that the audience's emotions were completely released.
The two mothers and sons were on the bed, quietly enjoying the time together as in the basement, for a long time!
The mother stared at her son and suddenly spoke,
"I'm sorry, Tate!"
"It's okay! Just don't do that again!"
"I promise!"
"Are you okay now?"
"Yes, it's getting better slowly!"
The mother stroked her son's short hair and took out the long hair that her son had cut from her pocket,
"Tate!"
"Hmm?"
"Your grandma gave me this, and I knew I would get better!"
The mother stroked her son's cheek and said to him with tears in her eyes:
"You saved me, again!"
"Hmm!"
"I'm not a good mother!"
"But you are my mother!"
The mother cried and laughed as she looked at her son,
"I am!"
The mother and son smiled and nodded at each other,
"I am!"
…
The movie ended with the mother and son saying goodbye to the basement, but the audience was immersed in the bleak autumn on the big screen for a long time.
After a long time, thunderous applause rang out in Huaxia Grand Theater. All the audience guests stood up and applauded for this film. Hathaway and Jacob's performances in the film conquered everyone!
That night, the audience who attended the premiere couldn't wait to post their feelings on the Internet.
"It's so touching! It's several times more touching than the novel. I almost didn't stop crying in the second half of the movie. Everyone must watch this movie. Missing it will be a huge regret!"
"The best movie, no one. Hathaway and Jacob's performances are so touching. Huaxia Qiu is really a genius. A movie that everyone knows the plot can make the whole theater cry together. It's incredible!"
"I can't remember how long I haven't cried in the cinema. Maybe I have never cried because of a movie before, but I was moved by Elizabeth and her son. There is no sensationalism, plain and warm daily life, life-like language, and even the music is soft and gentle, but it is difficult to control emotions. Tears just flow out!"
"Hua Xia Qiu always has this magic. Hathaway's performance in the film is amazing. Before watching the movie, no one would believe that Hathaway could play the tough and fragile mother to such an extent. There is no suspense about next year's Oscar for Best Actress!"
…
The next morning, the premiere report of "Room" became the front-page headline of all Hollywood entertainment newspapers and magazines.
"A flawless movie!"
"Hua Xia Qiu uses his works to tell everyone that arguments and criticisms are just verbal pleasures!"
"The Room ascended to heaven, but its creator fell?"
"Hua Xia Qiu brought his wife into the Hollywood Hall of Fame with a movie!"
…
"Room" not only conquered the audience, but also conquered film critics and the media. Shanhe has never fought back against the criticism of the Western cultural circle, but the release of "Room" is the biggest counterattack.
The rave reviews of "Room" defeated all the criticisms and pessimism against Shanhe. Let the works speak for themselves!
No matter how much you say, no matter how fiercely you spray, groundless smears can never defeat a real masterpiece.
The attacks and criticisms of the Western mainstream cultural circle have been turned into a joke by the mountains and rivers. You keep saying that they have become vassals of the powerful and are about to fall into mediocrity.
But the fact is that within a few days, Hua Xia Qiu handed over a genius work that amazed everyone, and the old face of the Western cultural circle was slapped "pa pa". It's really embarrassing!
These scholars and writers frowned and looked embarrassed when they looked at the newspapers in their hands. Now, they failed to attack and suppress, but they were made fun of by others. They were careless!
How could China produce such a monster? It's really a diamond body, immune to all poisons! Things are so coincidental, and he is so lucky!
Fuck! Hua Xia Qiu had planned it long ago and deliberately set a trap for us to drill. He is trying to tease us and the entire Western mainstream cultural circle!
Too rampant, too insidious!
Okay, Hua Xia Qiu wins this time. This matter is not over yet, just wait!
These people are used to being high and mighty, and their inexplicable sense of superiority is extremely strong. They are naturally very angry when they are defeated by Shanhe. They make up a lot of reasons in their minds and regard Shanhe as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. They feel uncomfortable all over when they think of this name!
The release of "Room" made all the arguments and criticisms about Shanhe disappear. Cultural people are not stupid and will not confront Shanhe on this limelight, but the grievances between the two have been planted, and sooner or later they will grow again!
On the second day of the May Day holiday, "Room" was released in countries around the world at the same time.
The first day box office data completely dispelled the doubts about Shanhe.
"Room" opened in more than 3,800 theaters and nearly 5,000 screens in North America on the first day, and the box office exceeded 50 million US dollars. You must know that this is a 2D drama film, without the box office bonus of 3D screens. This result has broken the first day box office record of North American drama films.
The audience's word of mouth was phenomenal. Almost all the audience walked out of the theater with tears in their eyes. A "three-no" movie with no 3D, no special effects, and no big scenes, the audience survey rating was "A+", even higher than the comic adaptation blockbuster "The Amazing Spider-Man" that was released just two weeks ago!
"Deeply touching!"
"This is a great female film, worthy of all women to go to the theater!"
"There are no animation special effects, but Hua Xiaqiu has shot two different worlds, both of which are so moving!"
…
The film's Rotten Tomatoes freshness on the first day was 99%, and the film critics index also reached 95%. The film review website was full of praise comments.
The first day's box office explosion plus the phenomenal word of mouth, "Hollywood Survey" immediately gave the box office forecast data for "Room":
400 million in North America, 1 billion US dollars worldwide!
