Two Hundred and Twenty-Three - Squeeze It Out While It Still Has Value!
"Hollywood Drawn()"!
The theater was dark, and the movie being shown on the big screen had already reached the second half.
In the almost unbelievably warm tone throughout the film, the greatest theme at the core of the story, 'hope', is revealed everywhere!
The atmosphere when watching the movie today was very strange. There were only a dozen or so people in the theater. As the atmosphere of the movie became exaggerated, the already small audience became silent.
Sergey and Nina sat next to Naomi Watts, and Wayne himself sat in the seat next to the aisle. Although he was also watching the movie carefully, maybe because he had watched it long ago, he always Can't concentrate.
The three remaining people sitting on his left were different. Almost all of them were deeply immersed in the story woven by the film. 'Hope', a thing that is too precious in reality, made the three of them completely immersed in it.
This time, on a whim, I asked the three of them to accompany me to watch a movie just for the obsession in my heart.
Not to mention box office and other factors, this "Shawshank Redemption" is definitely one of the top movies in the entire history of movies. It is also a movie that Wayne has always believed that men should watch carefully.
It is not as poisonous as "The Pursuit of Happiness", nor as deliberate as "The Intouchables", but it can affect a person's thoughts throughout the story.
‘This is a must-see movie for men! ’ I believe that not only Wayne himself agrees with this sentence, but in his opinion, this sentence is still too narrow if distinguished solely by gender. He feels that this movie is one of the few that breaks through the limitations of "men's movies".
When we have no choice but to encounter the kind of beast that imprisons the freedom of the soul like in the movie, are we the helpless old Brooke, the discouraged Red, or the wise Eddie?
Use wisdom, trust in hope, and face fear bravely to defeat him?
Even Wayne feels that the reason why this movie is called a classic and is still sought after more than ten or twenty years later is because it has always done one thing and always made you appreciate it from different angles. The beauty of hope.
"Boss." After the movie ended, Nina's ordinary face was full of tangles. She couldn't wait to call him as soon as she walked out of the theater. "Why is it that so few people watch such a good film?"
He understood what Nina meant by saying this. It was obviously the first day of the screening, but in the huge screening room, including the four of them, there were only a dozen or so people in the audience.
This is inconsistent with the terrifying reputation of this and the film, and it is also completely inconsistent with the professional rating of 9.8. This is something that has puzzled many people.
Before getting in the car, it was Sergey who answered the assistant lady's doubts. He was as big as a bear and had the same tangle on his face. "This movie is a good movie, but it is not suitable for watching in a place like a movie theater. When the video tape is released later, I will definitely buy a collector's edition to keep and watch it alone at midnight."
After the car started moving, Nina and Naomi Watts were both thinking about Sergey's words. These two sentences also reminded them both that this movie was indeed not suitable for viewing in the theater.
Wayne had known this result for a long time. Not to mention the "Shawshank Redemption" that was made in time, even though this movie was re-released several times by Sony Columbia, the total box office was only over 50 million US dollars, which was completely incompatible with its huge reputation. Mismatch.
Some movies are like this. Everyone will admit that they are good, but they are really not suitable for the theater market.
"Depending on the situation, "The Shawshank Redemption" probably won't be able to turn around." Although Naomi Watts feels it's a bit of a pity, this result is what she wants to see. She can't turn around so that she can once again achieve the success around her. The greatness of man.
"But a film with this tone should be worthy of recognition at the Oscars. Those old men in the academy will definitely like this film very much."
The Australian beauty and Nina were leaning together. The two women were still thinking about the movie they had just watched.
"No."
Wayne shook his head nonchalantly. "The subject matter of this film determines that it will not be able to achieve anything in the Academy Awards."
Facing the looks of the two women, he did not continue to explain. At next year's Oscar ceremony, "The Shawshank Redemption" did receive a lot of nominations, but the nominations were just nominations in the end.
No matter as time goes by, whether the status of this film in people's hearts has long surpassed "Forrest Gump", whether this film has caused many people to rekindle their hope in life after watching it, he during this period But it can never be compared with "Forrest Gump".
This year's "Forrest Gump" will be the big winner at the Oscars, and sober insiders should have already expected it.
The American 'conservatism' shown in the movie always represents the fundamental needs of North American productivity and values, and is also the direction of American culture. It is the fundamental interest of the North American public!
Some people may think that "Forrest Gump" is a bowl of fake chicken soup, and the life of cheating is too unreal, but what is revealed in the film is indeed the most in line with the current American values.
The sentence "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like!" The beginning of the film where Gan is sitting on a bench already explains too many things.
If the Oscars are viewed with Eastern thinking, then "The Shawshank Redemption" will definitely have many advantages over "Forrest Gump". This is just a different perspective on the problem.
After the car returned to the manor, the assistant lady automatically ran back to the study. She has a lot of work now, especially communicating with the accountant at any time, and ensuring that the various fund statements sent back by Colin Howard are processed. The lawyer also needs her Stay concerned.
However, as long as the popularity of "The Return of the Clown" subsides and Wayne's financial transactions are fully prepared and she successfully acquires a stake in Warner Bros., her work will gradually decrease.
There are not many people Wayne can trust. Even accountant Colin Howard maintains necessary supervision. This is a lesson left to him by countless predecessors. The main financial review and supervision methods are in Nina's hands. .
If the accountant can still play tricks on the funds, the only loophole is to hook Nina. The difficulty level is too high. Outsiders will never know how much Nina can get from Wayne, and no one else can give this kind of money. Stable long-term interests.
"It's so hard to be your assistant!"
Before Naomi Watts went upstairs with him, she looked at Nina's back and sighed as she pushed up her glasses and walked into the study. This time I have lived in the manor for many days, and the assistant lady is much busier than before.
"It's a good thing you chose a top student like Nina, otherwise ordinary people wouldn't be able to be your assistant."
Wayne shrugged, opened the bedroom door and walked in. He didn't object to this view. Whether it was fate or something else, Nina was indeed a good assistant who was capable and compatible with him.
"Nami, don't treat her like an assistant!"
After taking off his shirt and sitting on the balcony, he explained. "Nina is not only my personal assistant when filming, she is also my personal manager. Personal...well, I want to say that she is more than just an assistant."
Of course, there was a lot more that he didn't say, but correspondingly, the salary he gave Nina was definitely far beyond the scope of an assistant.
The bonus phrase I always talk about is no joke. Since the assistant lady got more and more jobs, a percentage of every remuneration Wayne received went to Nina, and she received no less than her agent Jimmy.
"Are you still waiting for the box office to come out?"
Naomi Watts changed into her pajamas, walked to the balcony and sat next to him. She was careful with her steps, trying not to touch the two dogs clinging to him.
"But, Wayne." The Australian beauty took a sip of his black tea and turned her head to stare into his eyes strangely. "You behaved differently about the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" today than you usually do. The words 'go watch a very good movie' don't seem to come from your mouth!"
Wayne was stunned for a moment and asked: "Then what am I usually like? What should I say?"
Naomi Watts put away her smile and tightened all her expressions. It was obvious that she was deliberately imitating his state at work.
"First, will "The Shawshank Redemption" bring trouble to our film? If this film performs well, how much damage will it bring to our film?
Second, "The Return of the Clown" has already crushed it at the box office, so don't take this movie to heart.
Third, now that our film has exploded at the box office, how much value can it create for us? We must squeeze out all the value while the heat is still there! "
Just as he was lighting a cigarette leisurely, when he heard her imitating his own words, Wayne pointed at himself in surprise and said, "Is this what I usually do?"
"Yes." Naomi Watts winked playfully, took the cigarette from his hand, put it elegantly in her mouth and took a deep breath. "You say that movies have nothing to do with art at all. Only valuable movies are qualified to talk about art. That's how you usually behave!"
"ok!"
Wayne tilted his head and said mockingly: "It seems that I have become a qualified Jewish capitalist."
Naomi Watts put the cigarette back into his mouth, turned around and lay in his arms, looked up at his face and asked: "So, may I ask Mr. Greenberg, what am I doing in your eyes?" How much value does it have? In other words, when are you going to squeeze out all my value?"
"fxxkyxu!"
Wayne reached out his hand, gently pinched the blond beauty's chin, and said to her: "There are some things you must not say nonsense. From your words, I have noticed the huge changes in myself in the past few years. Don't let this happen." I’ve lost my original companion, okay?”
Naomi Watts looked at his serious expression and nodded. She had known Wayne not for a day or two, but for many years, and knew that what he told was indeed the truth.
