Chapter 557: Polarized Word of Mouth, Premiere in Europe and America
"Whether Forrest Gump is running, playing ball or fishing for shrimps, his concentration is at work, so his success can be fully explained."
"Director Spielberg commented at the Cannes Awards Ceremony that "Forrest Gump" is a great movie. I think it is well-deserved. At the same time, I am also looking forward to next year's Oscars. "Forrest Gump"
》What kind of results will be achieved?”
Next, film and television bigwigs commented one after another.
Li Liangjie: "A classic among classics, I smell countless trophies. "Forrest Gump" may leave a strong mark in the history of world cinema."
Chen Daoming: "A good movie can make people think, and "Forrest Gump" obviously does it perfectly. Using people as a mirror, you can dress and dress appropriately. Look at Forrest Gump in the film, and then compare yourself. Maybe we can learn from it.
Get a lot of stuff."
Guo Xiaogang: "I am a layman when it comes to movies. My criterion for measuring the quality of a movie is very simple, that is, whether it can make me concentrate on watching it."
"'Forrest Gump' is really great. From beginning to end, I didn't miss a single scene. Teacher Yu even held back his urine to finish watching this movie."
"Hahaha!" After hearing Guo Xiaogang's words, there was a burst of laughter in the theater.
Zhang Xiao said: "Well, in order for Teacher Yu or Teacher Guo to solve the problem as soon as possible, today's premiere will end here. Thank you again for coming."
Amidst the applause and screams at the scene, Zhang Xiao walked towards the audience.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped and said, "Look at my mind, I almost forgot a very important thing."
Everyone stopped and looked at Zhang Xiao suspiciously.
Zhang Xiao looked back and said: "Teacher Guo, Teacher Yu, the toilet is on the east side. I wish you success."
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
The theater burst into laughter again.
Guo Xiaogang and Yu Qian looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
After watching "Forrest Gump", fans returned home and logged on to the Department of Culture's professional film review website to post comments.
""Forrest Gump," the classic among classics, is firmly finished."
"I just gave it 9.9 points. I didn't give it a full score because I hope Xiao Shen won't be proud."
"It flows smoothly and is done in one go. There are no pee spots from beginning to end. It's so beautiful."
""Forrest Gump" is about the legendary life of a fool, but this fool is attractive in a hundred million ways."
"A good thought-provoking movie that will leave you with endless aftertaste after watching it."
"Compared with Forrest Gump, those of us with sound minds should really take a break."
"Forrest Gump is very stupid, but his spiritual level is richer than everyone else's."
"Tough character, brave and kind, loyal and trustworthy, this is Forrest Gump, a person who is stupider than us, but happier than us all."
"Full marks, this movie is definitely worth it."
"A magical movie, I just love Forrest Gump so much."
“···”
In just one night, 160,000 people rated "Forrest Gump" a terrifying 9.8 on the Department of Culture's professional film review website.
At the same time, "Thunder", which was released together with "Forrest Gump", only scored 6.1 points and was scolded by movie fans.
"Damn it, what kind of thing is this?"
"From the beginning to the end, I just know how to pose and fight monsters. Why not watch anime?"
"Chinese actors have always been embellishments in Hollywood movies, so why can't they be the protagonists?"
"Is this the commercial blockbuster that Universal is touting? Sorry, I really didn't see it."
"I regret it. I should have watched "Forrest Gump"."
"Five points, this is already my limit."
“···”
The two movies were released at the same time, and word-of-mouth immediately became polarized. The gap was shockingly large.
At the global business headquarters, Chairman Marlington looked extremely gloomy.
In order to beat Zhang Xiao's "Forrest Gump" to vent anger on Andrina, the company spent 120 million US dollars on the promotion of "Thunderbolt" alone, which is comparable to "Forrest Gump".
The publicity and production costs for "The True Story" are almost the same.
The leading actors are also very good. They have been to Europe, America and Asia, and the results are very good. The pre-sale box office of "Thunderbolt" has reached 380 million US dollars, which is not much different from "Forrest Gump".
But he never expected that as soon as the movie was released, China, the world's second largest box office, gave him a blow.
Although the first-day box office has not been released yet, judging from the reports from his staff, Marlington can still have a premonition that something is not going well for "Thunder" in China.
"My dear, how is the situation now?" Andrina walked into Marlington's office in a hurry.
Marlington said solemnly: "In China, the reputation of "Forrest Gump" is much better than that of "Thunderbolt", so there may be problems."
Andrina sat directly on Marlington's lap, hugged his neck, and said: "Don't worry, Zhang Xiao is the most powerful filmmaker in China. Even if his movies are not good, Chinese movie fans will definitely
Will help him."
"As long as we can win in Europe and the United States, the box office of "Thunderbolt" will definitely exceed that of "Forrest Gump"!"
Marlington nodded and said: "I hope so, honey, I'm in a bad mood right now, please relax."
Andrina said angrily: "I hate it."
"Hahaha!"
Marlington laughed loudly, picked up Andrina and entered the bedroom.
What will happen next, even Forrest Gump can probably imagine it.
At half past eleven in the evening, Marlington and Andrina came to the Universal Cinema.
Seeing the rustling people in the theater, Marlington's face immediately darkened.
"Moxley, what's going on? Didn't I ask you to invite more stars?" Marlington looked at Eco Mosley at Universal Cinema and asked with sharp eyes.
Mosley smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Linton, Disney is very interested in "Forrest Gump" and has invited almost all the famous directors and actors in Hollywood."
"These people all wanted to see Forrest Gump, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, so most of them declined our invitation."
Marlington cursed fiercely: "What a hell."
Andrina next to her was also very annoyed.
···
Inside the Disney Theater at this moment.
Director Chris, Director Nolan, Quentin Tarantino, Luc Besson, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Leonardo and dozens of other big-name stars and directors, all gathered together
, watch "Forrest Gump".
Two hours later, the movie ended, and lead actor Heath Ledger took the cast of "Forrest Gump" to thank everyone.
There was a warm round of applause in the theater.
Before leaving, Leonardo patted Heath Ledger on the shoulder and said: "Hey, man, good acting."
Heath Ledger smiled and said: "Leonardo, I am really happy to be recognized by you. To be honest, I was very, very stressed when I won this role from you. I was afraid that if I didn't perform well, I would let you down."
joke."
Leonardo said: "I understand how you feel, Ledger, be more confident, the Oscar winner next year will be yours, but I really want to beat you up, without you, maybe Forrest Gump will be mine."
Chapter completed!
