Main Text Volume 446 My Own Strength~ Adding More Rewards for the Wonderful and the Lunatic Ck
And the fact that elephants are hard to get a ticket at sunshine cinema made Charles, a film critic who came by chance, become interested.
He bought a scalper ticket from an old Chinese lady at a high price of 10 dollars, and followed a group of yellow-skinned Chinese into the overcrowded movie screening site.
After the movie was played, and following the flickering lights on the big screen, Charles never looked away.
Even if the little kids around told their mothers that they were going to pee, even if the movie theater was a flat screen, even if there were two men and women in love in front of them, ecstatically embracing.
All of Charles's minds are immersed in the director's shooting techniques, the narrative of the story and the hero of the show.
This is a bright film, and it stands out from the crowd of indie movies that are messy.
With the end of the screen, Charles, who left with a large audience, ignored the strange eyes of the people around him, and ran on the streets of New York at night. He wanted to express his feelings with a brilliant commentary.
The editor of the special column of the New York Times received an emotional film review from Charles one minute before the final draft, which belongs to a rather niche film audience, independent art films.
Simply this article does not have many words, adding a paragraph to the video column can be regarded as enriching the content of the newspaper.
Finally, on the fourth day after the film was released, due to the box office hit in the New York market, a total of 107 theaters across the United States made efforts in the later stages. There was a comment about elephants.
"Famous film critic Charles, his feelings about watching elephants: If it weren't for the hero and the final climax, ordinary people should be able to fall asleep in the theater, but the director's shooting techniques and narrative methods are quite different. Fresh and exciting...'
For a literary film, this is simply a comment that likes it directly, and Vivienne, who always pays attention to it, reposts the comment and the data of the elephant's box office counterattack to omg.
"I am becoming more and more interested in this film. I am very relieved to see that our city has theaters..."
"Looking at Qin Guan in nylon looks like a heavenly man. The big screen lens can't fool anyone. I'm going to test the hard currency of the handsome guy."
A strange phenomenon is being staged in art theaters across North America. Usually, a film has the highest sales on the first day. In the case of the film Elephant, it perfectly embodies what is called reversal.
The number of 2 theaters increased to 107, and the box office of the next day and the third day completed a strong road with ten times the strength.
...
Strange scenes are continuing to unfold in even stranger ways.
Han Zhuojiu and a group of brothers sat in the front row of the movie theater. The theater was basically reserved by people from Chinatown. As the savior of his family, he had to make a contribution.
But what the hell is this movie about? This man kills without end...
"Damn, you bastards, don't go to sleep..."
"Ah, it's over? Boss?"
"It's so embarrassing! How can I bring you out in the future? It's an insult to art. Art doesn't understand!"
A pair of elegant old couples who just came out of another hall were discussing warmly the clips of the movie they just watched. They saw the Chinese people leaving the movie theater with a solemn body. Keep it very straight.
"The Chinese really have a long history, profound and profound, and this movie theater is almost becoming a special show for Asians..."
"Oh, yes, the national education of our American children is worrying. Look at others, even gangsters organize to watch art films..."
Inexplicably, the Chinese living in Chinatown have an added aura of admiration, the aura of art. If you haven't seen the art film Elephant, hey, you're too embarrassed to say hello to people.
The week's North American box office rankings were finally published in the major entertainment newspapers across the United States, and Elephant actually ranked it tenth in the art film rankings, showing its face in front of the American audience.
Elephant's total weekend box office: 270,000 US dollars, ranking tenth on the weekly box office list of North American art films.
Far away in Cannes, France, director Gus, who was sitting at the movie promotion meeting on the set, thought he had already suffered from Alzheimer's and had a disease called auditory hallucinations when he received a call from the distributor of the film.
This independent film was originally a dream come true, but after the savings were spent, it was just an end to my dream of being a director, but what is the situation now?
On the basis of 0 publicity expenses, I have now recovered all the investment costs.
And 50% of the next week's box office will go to his pocket. According to the current screening feedback, his box office is still growing.
Director Gus's lips were trembling slightly, and the Asian audience who spoke a few words made him understand that the reason for the film's reversal was Qin Guan.
He looked at the application form for the best actor that had been submitted, and suddenly laughed happily. His film is excellent, he has passed the test of ordinary audiences, and what he wants in his life is nothing more than approval. At this moment, Director Gus let go of his previous obsession with Cannes.
It doesn't matter whether he wins an award or not, he will continue to shoot, with good inspiration and good ideas, even if he is still an independent filmmaker.
The promotion assistant on the side found that Director Gus seemed to have let go of all the burdens and swept away all the pressure and haze. This kind of mentality is really good.
Well, very good, Qu Xuemei just had a half-hour video call with that elegant Italian old man, and from now on, Armani has 3 fixed model seats for haute couture fashion, and starting today, there will be one Straight figure of Asian male model.
As a high-end customization, it is not something you can get with a big name. If you say that you are a high-end customization as soon as you touch your lips, people in the fashion industry will not buy it.
The first is the high-end nature of your high-end ready-to-wear, the second is the popularity of advanced customization designers, the third is the number of master craftsmen in your high-top studio, and the last is the level of your endorsements, catwalks, and regular models.
Who is a billionaire, and he is not willing to wear the same clothes as you, a third- and fourth-tier starlet.
After the elephant's influence began to show, this most forward-looking Italian old man used his own words to make a decision on Qin Guan at Armani's shareholder meeting.
Qu Xuemei, who was sitting on the sofa swivel chair, let out a long breath, Qin Guan's top fashion road, even if he stepped into it from today, whether he can stand firm depends on his true ability.
ps: Are there too many leftovers from yesterday? Give some chicken bones, fishbone or something? Feed the cat o(n_n)o...
Suddenly there is a feeding spot for wild cats at the corner downstairs. Although I have been squatting for many days, I haven’t seen any cats coming, probably because the food is too poor. (To be continued.)
