Entertainment Rebirth Rhapsody

Chapter 166 Chapter 160 Six: First Day
The movie "Parasite" begins with the struggle of the black Bjork family in the poor black community.

Same as Shanhe's original work, in the first part of the film, the life of the Bjork family is full of joy in helplessness, and bitterness and numbness in the daily jokes.

Martin Scorsese switched the tone of the film in two different lights, warm and cold, making people feel a little sad about the family's struggle to survive when they couldn't help but smile.

As the plot unfolds, Martin Scorsese's contrast in light and tone is getting bigger and bigger, and it even makes people feel dreamy. Bright and dark, bright and dim are constantly switching between the two families.

The picture is also full of contrasts. The Bjork family always composes the picture in a closed frame. The picture gradually narrows, giving people a sense of depression. The picture of the wealthy businessman’s family is open and wide, with a fast rhythm. Martin Scorsese always reminds the audience of the two classes There is a huge difference.

The sound and score also serve this center, Scorsese has done it with great care and refinement.

When the climax of the movie comes, the two contrasts finally merge together, and the camera keeps switching back and forth, colliding sharply with the tragedy of the Björk family. The eyes and hearts of the audience are also deeply attracted by this intersection and collision, and then Watch Martin Scorsese's baton go up and down!

This is indeed Martin Scorsese's masterpiece. The final coldness is full of helplessness and sadness in his lens language, and the end of fate brings endless thoughts to people.

The nearly two-hour movie ended, and the theater fell into silence. Shan He was the first to walk out of the plot. He stood up and gave Martin Scorsese a heartfelt applause.

Shanhe's actions were like a fuse, and all the audience and guests stood up one after another and gave warm applause.

As the main creator came on stage again, the warm applause gradually subsided.

Cheers and whistles began to ring out from the crowd.

The host began to interview the main creative team, Martin Scorsese and Morgan Freeman were the key points.

The excitement and emotions of the two made Shanhe empathize with him. Seeing his work being put on the big screen and being adapted so well, Shanhe felt quite agitated.

Successful movies have a much wider audience than novels, and the influence of successful directors is also more common!
The premiere has entered the final stage. The media and audience asked questions, and a series of questions poured into the creative team.

"Martin, how sure are you of today's Oscar for Best Director? Do you think the Academy will recognize your efforts?"

"Martin, how would you rate "Parasite"?"

"Morgan, what is the biggest reason why you performed so well in the film?"

"Martin, is Yau satisfied with your adaptation? Have you communicated?"

...

Looking at the creative team answering questions with great enthusiasm, Shanhe couldn't help showing a gratified smile. They have done a great job and deserve to be sought after.

"Annie, let's go first, otherwise we may not be able to leave in a while."

Hathaway held Shanhe's arm cooperatively, and quietly walked out of the theater.

Outside the Huaguo Grand Theater, the two of them were still waiting straightly by the reporters outside, and the microphones of different lengths hit their mouths.

"Yu, after watching the film, how would you rate the film as an original author? How would you rate Martin Scorsese's work?"

Seeing that he could not avoid it, Shanhe simply stopped and replied: "Martin did an excellent job. The film is more touching than my novel. After watching the whole film, I can't find any flaws. I give full marks to the efforts of the creative team." .”

"Yu, after watching the film, do you still stick to your box office forecast? Have your expectations increased or decreased?"

Shan He replied: "I'll raise the box office forecast for the first week to $4000 million!"

"Qiu, you attended the premiere with Annie today, does it mean that you have entered the period of love as a couple, do you have any follow-up plans?"

"No comment, this is my privacy!"

"Annie, do you agree with Yau's statement? What's your opinion on your boyfriend's film adaptation?"

Hathaway was not the white girl back then, she handled it skillfully: "Yu and I are friends! I'm his only female friend in Hollywood, it's normal to accompany him to the premiere, the filming of "Parasite" and The original is as good as the original, I am very envious of the actors in the play, it is the pursuit of all actors to be able to participate in such an excellent movie!"

...

After the two answered several different questions from the reporter, all the guests in the theater walked out of the Huaguo Grand Theater one after another.

The reporters were distracted, and Shan He and Hathaway took the opportunity to return to the car.

"Qiu, tomorrow our photo will be widely reported in the media, will it cause you trouble?"

Shanhe smiled and patted Hathaway on the back, "It's nothing serious, we have been advertised everywhere, I'm not a rookie at the beginning, don't worry too much!"

Hathaway smiled softly, "Honey, you don't look like a veteran today."

"I feel like I performed well!" Shanhe hugged Hathaway, "If you laugh at me again, I'll make you look good tonight!"

Ha ha…

The next morning, Qu Ling knocked on Shanhe's door with a thick stack of newspapers and magazines.

Shan He opened the door and greeted Qu Ling: "Aunt Qu, it's so early in the morning, have you had breakfast? We just called the hotel service."

"How early is it? It's almost 09:30. I ate early. This is today's newspaper and magazine. The premiere of "Parasite" received a good response. The first week's box office should not be lower!" Qu Ling held the newspaper and magazine in his hand. Handed it to Shanhe, "Also, photos of you and Annie are posted everywhere, so be careful, don't be exposed to pornographic photos!"

Shanhe smiled embarrassingly, "Understood, Aunt Qu, come in and say it!"

"I don't want to see you two get bored. I don't have anything to do today, just some daily interviews. Take a good rest and go out and let me know!" Qu Ling turned and left after finishing speaking.

After watching Qu Ling leave, Shan He returned to the dining table with newspapers and magazines.

"Didn't Aunt Qu come in?" Hathaway asked, holding milk.

"She still has some things to deal with. Annie, here are today's newspapers and magazines. "Parasite" has a good reputation!" Shanhe put the newspaper in his hand on the dining table.

"Let me see." Anne Hathaway put down the milk glass, picked up the newspaper and said, "Honey, I'll read it to you!"

"Martin Scorsese has made a modern version of "Human Comedy" with his extraordinary talent. Yau's masterpiece has been brilliantly adapted to the theme and artistic conception of the original work... This is the review of "The New Yorker." Anne While reading, he introduced Shanhe, "The New Yorker has a large circulation, and many people in New York like to read its entertainment news!"

"This is a review from the Los Angeles Times, "Parasite" may make Martin Scorsese realize his Oscar dream, and Morgan Freeman is expected to win the Oscar..."

Hathaway continued to read the newspapers with undiminished interest, "Wow! "M Country Weekly" actually used my premiere photo as the cover, my dear, let me read the content for you, the premiere of "Parasite" last night On the show, Hathaway, the sweetheart of country M, joined hands with the author of the original writer, Qiu, and staged a foreplay of a gifted man and beautiful woman. The genius of Hua country can't escape the charm trap set by the sweetheart of country M in the end!"

Shanhe took the magazine from Hathaway's hand and said while reading: "This "M Country Weekly" is really interesting. Other media are reporting on "Parasite", but it uses this kind of gossip as its cover!"

Hathaway covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Honey, "M Country Weekly" is originally a gossip magazine, and it has the largest dissemination among the gossip magazines in M ​​country."

"So that's how it is!" Shanhe put down "M Country Weekly" and picked up a newspaper to read it.

Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" also praised "Parasite" in his film review column: an undoubted masterpiece, impeccable in every way, the most amazing thing is that it is so Good looking, Martin Scorsese has achieved both elegance and common taste this time, I give him two thumbs up!
Shanhe was somewhat familiar with the name Roger Ebert. He handed the newspaper to Hathaway and asked, "Annie, is this Roger Ebert very famous?"

Hathaway took over the "Chicago Sun" and replied: "It is very famous. When many movies in Hollywood are released, they give money to the film critics headed by him. He was the winner of the Pulis Award for Journalism and also produced a movie. This film review TV program has a huge influence in country M!"

Shanhe nodded after listening, "It seems that Jerry will be more familiar with him."

Hathaway responded with some hesitation: "Honey, Mr. Bruckheimer doesn't like them. I heard him call Albert a vampire more than once!"

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

"Yes, many Hollywood film companies don't like these film critics. They often criticize some commercial blockbusters, and producers often have to pay them public relations fees to keep them quiet." Anne Hathaway explained to Shanhe.

"So that's it!" Shanhe looked at the rest of the newspaper thoughtfully.

The first day of "Parasite" was promoted in full swing across the United States, and there were many comments on the Internet in Country M.

The emerging Rotten Tomatoes website gave the Tomato Index on the first day, with a freshness of 90.00%. The reputation of "Parasite" on the Internet is overwhelming.

Many people of color cried out on the Internet, sympathized with the tragedy of the Bjork family, and lashed out at the status quo of country M. The commotion caused by the novel "Parasite" has shown signs of resurgence.

Fans of the original book and good reputation made the movie "Parasite" explode with potential on the first day. More than 500 theaters and nearly 4000 yuan worth of screens added to the box office figures of "Parasite".

Bruckheimer was busy until the early morning of the next day. He sat in the office without any sleepiness. The release of the film was in good condition, but the final data was not released, and Bruckheimer was still a little nervous.

There are quite a few films that have sold well at the box office but ended badly. Bruckheimer walked out of the office anxiously, "York, haven't the box office figures come out yet?"

"Sir, it's only been half an hour. You still have to wait a while. You don't have to worry. Qiu's novels have never disappointed us."

Bruckheimer nodded, "Tell me as soon as the data comes out!"

At one o'clock in the morning, Bruckheimer finally received the good news.

"Sir, the average price of each museum is more than 2000 US dollars, and the box office broke the 70 million mark on the first day, which is million US dollars. The box office is a big hit, sir!" York shouted to Bruckheimer holding a fax paper .

Bruckheimer stood up, walked quickly towards York, took the fax paper and read it.

"Haha..." After reading it, Bruckheimer shook the paper and laughed loudly: "Qiu is our lucky star at the box office. Every time he comes, something good happens. It's time for him to win an award!"

"Do you want to notify Mr. Qiu now?"

"No need!" Bruckheimer said with a lewd smile, "He is in Gentle Township now. I will tell him tomorrow."

The next morning, Shanhe woke up to the ringing of the phone and answered the phone in a daze.

"Xiao He, wake up, Bruckheimer called and said that the box office has exploded, and it was 70 million US dollars in one day yesterday! Also, the Book Critics Association also called. Tomorrow night, you have to participate in the end of the year of the Book Critics Association. Awards ceremony." Qu Ling's voice reached Shanhe's ears with excitement.

Shanhe recovered from his confusion, "So much, so calculated, didn't you get over 5000 million US dollars in the first week?"

"Haha..." Qu Ling's laughter came from the microphone, "When Jerry called just now, he was full of admiration for your luck, saying that you are the illegitimate child of God. A lot."

"God is not familiar with me, Aunt Qu, do you have any requirements for the awards ceremony of the Book Critics Association?"

"Probably not. I've learned about it. Although this award is authoritative, it's very simple. It won't be as bustling as the premiere ceremony. The literary world always has a higher style!"

"Okay, I'll wash up first."

"Hurry up, you two have to be restrained, you are too young!"

"Aunt Qu~"

"I'm reminding you for your mother. If you don't want to listen, I have to say it!"

"Um…"

"Okay, stop talking!"

Shanhe put down the phone while covering his forehead, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Honey, what did Aunt Qu say, did something bad happen?" Hathaway put her arms around Shan He from behind.

Shan He straightened his face, and replied with a smile: "The box office of "Parasite" has exploded, breaking 2000 million US dollars on the first day!"

"Wow!" Hathaway hugged Shanhe's face and kissed excitedly.

"Yu, you succeeded, it's amazing, my dear, you never failed, Hollywood will praise you to the sky!"

Shan He kissed the corner of Hathaway's mouth, and responded with a smile: "This time it's mainly Jerry and Martin's glory, and I hardly did anything."

"NO, dear, you don't understand the situation in Hollywood. Stephen King's novels, even short stories written casually, will be snatched up by film companies. Writers also have appeal. My dear, you and Aunt Qu must be prepared. , Hollywood is not just a big company like Disney Pictures!”
