2145 Chapter 2145

"A Beautiful Mind" was scheduled to be released at the end of the year. In fact, it was a last resort. The filming of the work was completed in June, and the post-production was completed in early September. As we all know, the performance of Hugo's works in the autumn file has always been eye-catching.

However, after the internal test screening, it was found that the editing of some plots seemed too procrastinated, which actually affected the overall rhythm of the movie. After discussion, Ron Howard also agreed with this statement, so he decided to readjust that part of the plot. As a result, the release date had to be pushed back.

That's why "A Beautiful Mind" was scheduled to be released on December 17th, making it a part of the awards season.

In fact, because "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality" is still performing well on the list at this time, this work still ranks fifth on the North American box office list in the first week of December, and the enthusiasm for releases has not weakened at all; So, when "A Beautiful Mind" was ready to be released, people didn't even realize that Hugo had another work in theaters.

"A Beautiful Mind" is defined as a drama-biographical film, which is exactly the same as "Schindler's List". Therefore, DreamWorks decided to follow the release strategy of "Schindler's List" and let "A Beautiful Mind" start with screenings, and then gradually expand the pace of expansion after the film has gained enough recognition.

This is also the first time since "Death Row Walking", four years later, Hugo once again has a work starting from point screening.

However, the screening of "Death Row" created an unimaginable enthusiasm for watching movies, and people still talk about the scene that the supply exceeds demand. It is definitely not an easy task for "A Beautiful Mind" to replicate this grand occasion. But judging from DreamWorks' strategy, they didn't plan to hold a grand premiere in a grand manner to attract more attention.

"A Beautiful Mind" was screened in 11 theaters on December 17th. The film first held a small trial screening on the 13th. Less than 300 audiences received invitations. Including 60 media reporters, 50 professional film critics, 60 relevant people in the industry, and 100 lucky local audiences in Los Angeles, it can be said that it is a very private internal preview.

This spot screening did not do any form of publicity in the media. Even the most important young volcanoes did not receive the news. It was only spread in the Hollywood industry, so the internal preview was not too lively on the day. More like a rave party happening inside Hollywood.

Although almost no one in the outside world knew about this matter, it caused an uproar internally—those who could receive the invitation letter were considered to be real authorities in the industry at present. This was not just an opportunity to build a good relationship with Hugo, At the same time, it is also an opportunity to establish a good relationship with DreamWorks and Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company. Even top leaders such as Kevin Pence, Shirley Lansing, Mark Canton, and Barry Meyer have personally attended the internal screening Yes, who wants to miss such an opportunity?

Unintentionally, "A Beautiful Mind" once again became a topic of conversation in the industry, but this time, even Hugo didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Since the movie was only screened this week, it meant that there was no premiere—and the picture of Hugo and Charlize attending the premiere, which the reporters were still looking forward to, would not appear. I can only complain, "Fortunately, 'The Sixth Sense of the Spirit' made up for this regret", there is no other way.

However, at the internal preview, Hugo and Charlize were undoubtedly present hand in hand.

"Hugo, tell me the truth, is the reason why the film is being screened because you don't want the media to hype up your relationship again." Nicholas McLenne looked at the pair of couples standing in front of him with a smile. When they came out, both of them were in a very good mood.

This question caused Hugo to immediately show a surprised expression, as if to say, "Why do you have such absurd ideas?" Nicholas spread his hands, "To be honest, you even arranged an appointment to avoid attending the movie screening ceremony." The internal preview, it's like a private party, even if people have gossip, they don't dare to say it to your face."

Hugo and Charlize glanced at each other, and then showed an expression of sudden realization, Charlize sighed with a smile, "So that's the case, then it seems that the two of us can clean up for a while today."

Nicholas was stunned by this sentence, and he could only have a helpless expression. Hugo and him are also old friends, he chuckled lightly, and said seriously, "I have always wondered, what about other people? What is there to pay attention to about our relationship. We are no different from ordinary couples. It is reported that the two of us are eating corn tortillas on the street, and then what?"

"Hugo." Nicholas cast his gaze angrily.

Hugo shrugged, "I'm serious. You can report on the movie itself, as well as interesting things about us during the filming process, including our performance in the movie. These lace news are completely worthless. Isn't it?"

"Hugo, this isn't funny." Nicholas noticed the playful smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth standing aside, and immediately understood, and said helplessly. "So, during the filming of the movie, did you really do the fake show? Did countless sparks really burst out? Did there really have a chemical reaction?" As a result, this question made Hugo and Charlize They all rolled their eyes, and Nicholas spread his hands innocently, "Hey, buddy, you said it yourself, let me ask some questions about the movie, I am so dedicated now, why are you unhappy again!"

Hugo didn't want to argue with Nicholas, so he simply pulled Charlize around and left. Nicholas hurriedly bypassed the two people, blocked them in front, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "Okay, I'm not kidding Seriously! In the past three years, you have only released one work every year. This year, after "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", you have released a second work. Does this mean that next year you may Absent from the film market?"

"I didn't find this out." Hugo felt that the reporters' attention angles were always full of surprises, and he never thought of such a question, "I have no way to determine what will happen next year, but one thing is certain, I So far, I have no plans to take any works. Maybe I will think about the next development of Glory to Death."

Nicholas's eyes lit up in one sentence. The amount of information hidden in this sentence is too great, "It seems that we can already start to look forward to it." Nicholas didn't deliberately point it out, after all, today is the internal preview of "A Beautiful Mind" Yes, the news they know is only limited to the inside. "I'm very curious about one question. Judging from the previous news, you once again experienced unimaginable difficulties during the performance of "A Beautiful Mind". Did you make another self-breakthrough?"

"Playing a real character has never been an easy task, not to mention Nash's experience itself is legendary. From the script adaptation stage, he faced many difficulties. This is indeed a very difficult shooting process. As for whether I Having made a breakthrough, I think it’s up to you guys to answer this question, because any answer would be too arrogant for me, so I try to avoid that possibility.”

Hugo's words immediately made Nicholas and Charlize both roll their eyes. Seeing Charlize's faceless expression, Hugo was very helpless, "Then why don't you come and talk to us about your filming process of this work?" a breakthrough in the

Charlize raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, "I just completed an unbelievable challenge in the 'Female Devil', and I don't think I have the ability to make another breakthrough." This sentence is full of confidence. The answer without losing humility is indeed much better than Hugo.

Nicholas, who was standing next to him, watched these two people dismantling each other, and couldn't help but laugh, "If the plot in the movie is like this, I will be very, very interested in this work."

Both Hugo and Charlize turned their heads to look at Nicholas, with a look of "you're kidding me", and then Charlize said, "Then isn't this 'When Harry Met Sally'?"

Nicholas was stunned, and touched his nose helplessly, "Yes, maybe it's 'When Hugo met Sally'." This cold joke made both Hugo and Charlize look at him with contempt, and Nicholas couldn't even move. Overwhelmed, "Hey, hey, I know you guys are dating now, no need to remind me that way. I'll be seriously watching 'A Beautiful Mind', I promise!"

While speaking, the internal preview will begin.

Although it was an internal trial screening, it was actually held in a cinema, and the scale was comparable to a small movie premiere. It's just that compared with regular movie screenings, the atmosphere of the internal preview meeting is more relaxed, and the overall feeling is more harmonious. There is less excitement and jubilation of the premiere, and more casualness and coziness of the party.

A Beautiful Mind kicked off with a welcome reception from the University Mathematics Department.

In Princeton University in September 1947, the professor stood behind the podium, and other students sat around the professor in a fan-shaped manner, listening to the class content, "It was the mathematicians who won the world war, it was the mathematicians who broke the Japanese code, and it was the mathematicians who broke the Japanese code." Mathematicians invented the atomic bomb, mathematicians like you and me, the ultimate goal of the Soviet Union is to destroy the whole world, including medicine, economy, science, space, the line of war has been drawn, in order to win, we need results , needs results that can be published and applied. Who is the Morse of the future? Who is the next Einstein? Who among you will be the pioneers of democracy, liberty, and invention? Today, we place the future of America in your hands .Welcome to Princeton!"

In the corner, John Nash was dressed in formal attire, sitting quietly and restrainedly, but his eyes were full of panic and embarrassment, as if he was embarrassed by the strangers in the room.
