Chapter 648 Hope

"Shawshank's Redemption" received mediocre response when it was released in theaters in the original world of Han Mo. It was not until many years later that its value was discovered, and it was hailed as an insurmountable classic.

In that year's awards, "Shawshank's Redemption" did not perform very well, because when it was released, there was a film "Forrest Gump" at the same time. At that time, various awards were more inclined to play disabled people. man's movie. Moreover, people's thoughts at that time were still in the state of needing the spirit of Forrest Gump, and they were not optimistic about realistic movies, especially movies that were critical of society.

Later, "The Shawshank Redemption" made great achievements, which also reflected people's ideological changes in different periods from one aspect.

The theme of the whole movie is "hope".

The main characters in Shawshank Prison, Andy and Red, run through the word hope.

Because of hope, Andy can live calmly in prison. When he is wronged, he knows how to fight back rationally. When he faces rape, he can also face it with a smile.

And Reed, who had just been released on parole, was very uncomfortable with the outside life. When he remembered the oak tree that Andy told him in prison and read the letter, he regained hope. Only then can we truly enjoy freedom.

According to different historical backgrounds, Han Mo slightly changed the plot of the story.

 …

"Dad, can't I go to the movies with you? Grandma said, today is the premiere of Dad's movie." The little guy said pitifully with anticipation.

Han Mo squatted down, making himself about the same height as the little guy was standing, and gently rubbed the top of the child's head.

"No, this movie tells a story in prison, so it's not suitable for children to watch."

The little guy was a little disappointed, pouted, although the child really wanted to watch, but Xuanxuan was a sensible child, her father had already made it very clear, she would not cry and ask her father to agree, and looked at it with downcast eyes. Looking at their fingers rubbing each other.

"Then dad come back early, Xuanxuan is waiting for you." The little guy blinked his big cute eyes.

Han Mo pinched Xuanxuan's face and agreed to the child.

Han Mo gave Xu Fei and the others the opportunity to go to the United States to participate in the premiere, while he brought Lu Qingyang in China.

Han Mo agreed that his films would never be able to compete with local American films in terms of popularity.

Anyone else's movie is a well-known director, actor and actress, and he is still a newcomer in the director circle, and the actors are even lesser-known. Liu Han had an excellent performance in "Wrestle, Dad", this achievement Not worth mentioning in America.

So they can only fight for the story and acting skills, so Han Mo didn't go to the United States. He felt that even if he worked hard to promote the film, it would not be of much help to the film.

Because of many familiar media in China, Han Mo went through a formality and cooperated with the interview.

When the media asked if they had the confidence to surpass "Frozen" and set a new record at the box office.

Han Mo's answer was a bit beyond everyone's surprise, because he was not like other directors, cheering for himself, shouting for his own film, and saying some bragging big words.

Han Mo's answer was only three words, "I don't know."

This is the truest answer in his heart.

No one knows what kind of box office and word of mouth "The Shawshank Redemption" will be in this world. For such a classic movie, when it was first released, the box office was mediocre, and all the nominations were awarded.

Although he made some changes, the main line of the story remained the same. He really didn't know what the results would be.

Almost at the same time, the American director was interviewed by a local reporter and asked if he was confident that he would surpass the previous Han Madan animated film "Frozen".

Jerry first smiled slightly, and then a look of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, ""Frozen" is an animated movie, we are different types, we can't guarantee that we will surpass the former, but I am confident that it will surpass Hanmo's upcoming movie."

As soon as this remark came out, it quickly spread on the local network in the United States.

This is a blatant provocation. If it is not completely sure, no one would dare to be stupid enough to say such a thing.

For a while, the media and the directors' association also leaned towards Jerry. In addition, Han Mo still let Lu Qingyang be the leading actor in the movie despite the pressure of the quotation, which made Han Mo's movie lose part of its reputation before it was screened.

The release time of American movies is slightly later than that in China.

Movie fans haven't watched it yet, but they have already bought tickets or are waiting to enter.

"I am both looking forward to "The Shawshank Redemption", but also a little worried."

"Prison-themed movies, I don't know what theme to reflect."

"I wouldn't have watched this movie at all if it wasn't for the Frozen that came before it."

"Jerry said his movie will definitely beat Han Mo's."

"It's hard to say, we'll find out after a while."

Almost at the same time, it was released simultaneously around the world, and there are differences in the timing of each country.

Compared with movies from other countries, the Korean-Mo movie is much less publicized. Except for the necessary publicity, it hardly does anything in the public eye.

It is such a movie. After the first movie screening in each country, all the audience fell into thinking.

"Life boils down to a simple choice: get busy living, or get busy dying."

"The important things are often the hardest to say, because words diminish their importance; it's not easy to make people who don't know you care about the good things in your life."

"You know, some birds are not meant to be kept in cages, and every feather of them shines with the light of freedom."

A sentence of the classic lines in the film echoed in people's minds.

On the Internet, professional film critics at home and abroad have all launched the most objective and fair evaluation of "The Shawshank Redemption" after watching the first episode.

"One of the most unsurpassed films of all time."

This evaluation is very high for a movie that has just been released for a day.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was showing in various theaters, and Han Mo didn't pay any more attention.

He kept his promise to the little guy and returned home early.

Although her father didn't let her watch the movie, the little guy was still very interested in the movie. Facts have proved that the more you don't want others to know, the more others will want to know.

Now the little guy is in this mood.

The little guy leaned over to his father, "Dad, what is this movie about?"

"This is a movie about hope." Han Mo raised his finger and swiped the child's nose lovingly.

Xuanxuan widened her watery eyes with excitement, "Wow, Xuanxuan also has hope."

"What is Xuanxuan's hope?" Han Mo asked curiously.

The little guy raised his chin, a little proudly, "Xuanxuan's hope is to go to a good school in the future."
