Chapter 1134 It’s Time to Give It Back to Him
The main creative staff of the crew, like all the audiences, have seen the final and complete version of the film for the first time since the filming of this film was completed. Sitting here today, they have also become an audience and savored it from beginning to end. The energy this movie brings.
After more than ten seconds, Chen Hao slowly stood up, and the crew and creative staff around him began to stand up with him, walked to the front of the big screen, and bowed in front of the nearly 400 specially invited audience. Thank you for coming.
Here, we have not arranged any links, no cameras, no interviews, no one will ask you how you feel after watching the movie. All you need to do now is to leave the screening room under our watch, and you can exercise your professional skills after you go out. people’s rights.

To vomit?
Or, to reminisce.
After Chen Hao himself watched the final version, he felt that the most appropriate way is to let everyone slowly taste it for themselves. This is a movie that does not require you to use words to evaluate it. It is good, it is bad, and it is successful. The failure of "It's not that it cannot be evaluated, but that everyone who has watched this film will have their own understanding. There is no need to learn anything from the film, but at least they have their own judgment on the value of the film. Perhaps, it is time to lead the children Come and take a look. Perhaps, you should invite your husband who is a bit decadent and has no confidence in his future work. Perhaps, you should invite the elderly, frail and disease-ridden elders to come and take a look.
Forrest Gump is a spirit.
Jon is a film critic from New York. He has always won the love of a large number of audiences with his sharp entry points and sharp and accurate opinions. His articles and film reviews have a fixed audience group, which is not large but most of them are Among the elites, Jon will not comment on ordinary commercial movies at all. He and the audience who like his comments think that it is a blasphemy to the profession of a film critic. They would rather not seek popularity than ride on it, and would rather stay together. He has been silent for a long time in the middle of the year, and he is unwilling to waste his energy criticizing some movies that in his eyes have no artistic value.
He accepted Chen Hao's invitation and behaved very calmly throughout. When others were anxiously wondering whether the film was a failure, he would still praise the feather in his heart. This kind of shooting method was very important to him. It was a happy feeling, and after watching the entire movie, he was equally unexcited.
As soon as he walked out of the screening room, the media from New York saw him and recognized him. They immediately came to him to interview him: "Jon, what is your evaluation of MOUSE's new film?"
Jon paused for a moment. In the past, he would not have spoken easily, but this film has planted a seed in his heart. He believes that it will definitely take root and sprout, so there is no need to go back and reflect on it carefully. Fancai spoke.
"I like this movie. I don't think it should be judged by what kind of movie it is. It is not "The Shawshank Redemption". It won't even give you a great understanding from a movie perspective. But after you watch it, you will feel silently moved. I don’t want to go into the cinema to watch it again immediately. I will definitely go into the cinema for the second time and be moved again in the future. I will collect it in the future. I need a CD of this movie in the highest quality, and I will take it out and watch it again from time to time.”
Mary is the host of a movie show. She was also invited today. She came and watched it. She did not try to interview the crew and creative staff at the scene. Like all moviegoers, she is a When an ordinary audience member walked out of the screening room and was interviewed, she turned her head and thought for a moment: "I can't find the exact words to describe this film. Maybe it won't create crazy box office results, but I dare say, it will definitely It will have its own place in the history of movies. In addition, MOUSE's performance is so wonderful. He is my best choice for the best actor."
Many people were interviewed in the waiting halls of various movie theaters. The movie produced by Chen Hao was worthy of a large number of media waiting for interviews in movie theaters in major cities across the United States. When the news came out the next day, everyone discovered that most of the people were interviewed. Most of the interviewees did not use relatively accurate vocabulary to describe this film, nor did they put any color on this film. Everyone actually has their own evaluation after watching this film, but when it comes to When they are interviewed, they feel that their inner evaluation may be too simple and superficial. How should they define this film? It seems that saying it easily is blasphemy.
In the end, one sentence became famous and became the sentence that everyone felt was the most appropriate to respond to media interviews: "Go to the cinema and watch it yourself. I believe you will have your own evaluation."
Anyone who is asked by friends whether this movie is good or not will say similar things. If a film critic like Jon is asked whether this movie is good or not, he will answer you: "This is a good movie." This is a movie worth going to the cinema to watch. You can go to see a relaxing movie with popcorn and Coke, or you can go to see it with a lot of resentment, but when you walk out of the theater, I believe You will have the same feeling as me - don't judge, I'm too tired, I just watched a good movie worth watching, that's it, I don't want to analyze it plot by plot, that's probably the biggest thing about it of blasphemy.”
Outside the North American market, the European market is hot, the South American market is hot, and the only broadcast area in Africa and Asia have a mediocre response, especially for Asian fans who have great hopes for this film. They don’t understand. Isn’t this film just an inspirational film? At best, Chen Hao used very good special effects technology to put Forrest Gump into historical events. Is there anything else besides this?
This is not the family movie we are familiar with.
This is not the kind of in-depth art film we want.
We don’t know how to define this film. If we want to say that the good part of this film is that it seems that there is nothing else worth praising except Chen Hao’s explosive acting skills.
Ordinary audiences will not look at how the media and audiences in North America and Europe evaluate this film. When they feel that they don’t understand it, all they can do is go to Douban or some similar scoring websites on the Internet to see how many points the film has been given, and how those film reviews interpret this film? It doesn’t matter if we don’t understand it, we can get rid of the confusion from other people’s film reviews.
In the eyes of professionals, the evaluation of "Forrest Gump" is the same all over the world. It is not inaccurate to use some words to define this film in general, but it is a bit too hasty. This film seems to be bland and tasteless, but its strength is revealed in every detail.
They think that all this is the foundation of director Chen Hao. In their eyes, Chen Hao is at the peak of his directorship. When everything returns to its original state, he can still achieve such a level. Next year's Oscar owes him the little golden man for best director.
It's time to give it back to him.
When more and more film reviews say that this is not a film that should be simply defined or evaluated, those audiences who feel that they have not understood this film suddenly realize that it is not that they do not understand it, but that they should not interpret this film in a conventional way. There is no need to define whether it is good or bad. What do you feel after watching it? Is it comfortable? Is it relaxing? Do you have a glimmer of hope for the future? I still think that all this is just castles in the air, just like Hamlet. Those audiences who don't believe in the existence of such people also don't think that people like Forrest Gump will succeed in real life. Perhaps the real good thing about this film is that Forrest Gump's success has never been the focus in the film. Because of this, those who don't believe it will not have the feeling that this is a beautiful and nonsense imaginary thing when watching the movie in the cinema.
The single-day box office in North America is 15 million. According to Chen Hao's previous level, this is low. If a film has a big box office blowout in its first weekend, then the box office of "Forrest Gump" in North America is at most 60 to 70 million. In terms of the investment in this film, it is a success, but if it is labeled with Chen Hao, it is undoubtedly a loss, and a very miserable loss.
Those who talked about the box office theory were criticized by many people as soon as they opened their mouths. These people are proud of watching art films and think that discussing box office is too cliché. According to their ideas, "Forrest Gump" should be played in art theaters and should not be screened in mainstream theaters. That is a blasphemy to the film.
The box office in China is not bad, 80 million. Some brainless haters came out and criticized Chen Hao's film as a deceptive work and deceiving the audience's expectations. Look, in addition to the online pre-sale tickets, the premiere at noon was crazy, and the attendance rate dropped significantly afterwards. If many fans had not booked several shows in advance, the attendance rate might have dropped to less than 60% during prime time in the evening. If so, in one or two days, even in such a non-crazy schedule, the number of "Forrest Gump" screenings will drop. In China, it is not in North America. Chen Hao's works almost directly accounted for 40% of the screenings of major theaters. This 80 million box office is definitely a Waterloo for him.
Chen Hao was not in a hurry, but the company was. They thought of asking someone to say something online. An article from a netizen, which could be considered a slightly spoiler version of the film review, caused a huge response on the Internet and was reposted crazily.
"Do you understand Forrest Gump? Do you understand Haozi?"
