Chapter 400 A group of mentally retarded
May the stars twinkle in the night sky, and the endless stars guide you on your journey. May the veil of darkness fall, and evil things stay away from your holy heart...
The subtitles slowly fell, and the elegant, agile, and peaceful singing sounded. Norman Shearer's eyes completely left the big screen for the first time after the screening, and he looked at his watch. More than two and a half hours have passed. .
How long is this movie? Hiller was shocked!
In his sense, the film seemed to end soon after it started. He was so immersed in this fantastic story that he couldn't feel the passage of time at all. In retrospect, he realized that it was as fast-paced as The Matrix. In contrast, the progress of the story is more slow and flat.
What made him incredible was that the relatively slow rhythm not only did not make him feel dull and long, but he found it very interesting, and he could easily sink his emotions into it. I just wish the film could be longer!
Why can't it be longer? Why does this fantastical journey end here?
It's not just Norman Shearer, the vast majority of the audience in the theater thinks so, it's definitely an amazing movie, and they don't want to see the end.
A journey like this shouldn't have an end!
The singing continued, and there seemed to be a peculiar emotion brewing in the theater, which Michael Bay could feel, though he could not see or smell it.
The film is over. Although the end of the first song is a tragedy, he realizes that the number one box office bomb of this summer's season has appeared!
Looking at the ordinary audience who were either sad or excited, but did not have any calm or bored expressions, Michael Bay also briefly fell into thought.
It is also a super-long epic film. Why is Pearl Harbor called dull by most audiences, while The Fellowship of the Ring can make the audience mesmerized?
I need to learn like Duke? Rosenberger and there are many things!
Duke is not Peter Jackson after all, and has no homeland plot for New Zealand. Although the Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring will inevitably show the style of Middle-earth when they are on their way, he will not use certain shots that are purely for display. Special effects scenes, the rest were discarded. That's the only 165-minute public release.
Pace, which is extremely important for any commercial film, is a bit lukewarm in The Fellowship of the Ring, but never so slow that it feels dull.
And the slow transitional plot, either with the exotic flavor of Middle-earth, or with angels and elves coming out to attract attention.
As for the effect...
The subtitles ended, and the applause came as promised. The loud voices changed from scattered to neat, from exploding thunder to continuous waves. The audience who made up each wave all stood up, clapped their palms with the greatest strength, and paid tribute to this incredible work. Kudos to the director and crew who created this amazing journey!
The applause was like thunder, and the thunder turned into waves, and the waves were continuous for five minutes. There is no stopping trend.
Congratulations, Duke!
The crew members stood up long ago. Ivanka was the first to give the hug, followed by everyone nearby!
Oh, my! Oh, my...
Appears to be infected at the scene. Among the main members of the crew, the youngest Elijah Wood was a little out of control, What have we done? Almighty Lord, what have we done!
His eyes were red with excitement, and he looked at Duke and others around him, Is this really what we did? I can't believe that we shot such a great work in New Zealand!
As Elijah Wood's good friend in the film, Sean Austin hugged him tightly, We did it! God, we did it! Let those damned criticisms go to hell!
Gerard Butler, who earned countless tears at the end, saw that the applause had not fallen back until now. He thought of suppressing the protest cheering for them on the red carpet, and he couldn't help but waved his fist in a vent, Fuck the protest of X. !
The entire crew became excited in the applause. How many sins did they suffer during the preparation and filming of the past two years? How much pain did you eat? How many scars were added to the body?
At this moment, they have the capital, self-confidence, and it is necessary to enjoy the applause, which is full of respect!
People are always affected by the external environment, and they are as calm as Duke, and they clenched their fists tightly at this time!
Although it has never been shown in normal times, the total investment of more than 500 million US dollars, including Xuanfa, is bound to be weighed on his shoulders. How could he not feel heavy as a mountain?
How many other people know how many nights he suffered from insomnia during filming due to stress, busyness and excitement?
A hand next to him suddenly reached out and held his tight fist. Duke turned his head and nodded to Ivanka, and his turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.
But the applause still hasn't diminished!
Ivanka clenched tightly, her eyes gradually turned to the back, the lights in the theater were bright, and the crowds were standing up and applauding, applauding for a movie, a crew, a director, and a person's success!
Everyone is applauding Duke's success!
Although it wasn't her who paid tribute, Ivanka was still very happy, very happy.
Duke took a deep breath and said to Charles Rowan next to him, Hello everyone, come to the stage for the curtain call!
Brad Miller's hand was already sore and numb, but he didn't want to stop at all. Only in this way could he express his inner excitement and excitement. The strength of the palm increased a bit.
The film and crew came to a curtain call under the leadership of the director and producer!
The applause in the theater not only did not stop, but instead became louder and lasted for nearly ten minutes. After the five consecutive curtain calls, the applause gradually subsided.
According to the plan of the premiere, after the screening, the crew will have an interaction with the audience.
The first question inevitably came from a reporter who had done a good job in advance. The reporter just got the microphone and asked, Director Rosenberg...
Then, he found himself unable to ask any more questions.
Brad Miller doesn't want to wait, he'd love to see the next two episodes. When the applause stopped, he unconsciously shouted, The Two Towers!
The eyes of Shearer and Pete next to him immediately lit up, and they shouted, The Two Towers!
Anyone who knows the Lord of the Rings knows what The Two Towers stands for, and countless fans who are not reconciled to the end of the journey. This call was answered spontaneously.
The Two Towers! The Two Towers! The Two Towers! The Two Towers...
In front of crowds of fans, nothing can be done, let alone interaction.
Duke stood there, holding the microphone, saying nothing, not doing anything.
The Two Towers!
The shouts from the sky rushed to the front of the crew like a tide!
Those reporters had long since ignored the interviews and interactions, and stood up one after another. Looking at the rear, they have never seen each other before. After the screening of a movie, the fans in the audience collectively called for a sequel!
What a spectacular scene this is.
They raised their cameras, no longer targeting the crew on stage. The crew is irrelevant, they are madly shooting the more crazy fans in the back, and they don't care if they murder all the film!
Watching all this, Duke stopped Charles Rowan, who wanted to shoot the microphone. Let the reporter take enough shots!
The screening has been over for more than fifty minutes, and the theater has not finished yet. Clichy took the protesting group and blocked the theater near the exit, so that when the audience and the crew left, they protested loudly again.
Take advantage of others. It's about doing things for people, he knows that.
It's just... It's just that the situation is too strange. It's been nearly an hour since the end of the show, not to mention the crew members and media reporters, not even the audience.
what's going on?
Boss...
A black boy approached, Could it be that the audience was extremely dissatisfied with the film, refused to leave the show, and smashed the theater?
Is your head full of water?
Chrissy slapped him hard on the back of the head, pointed to the police nearby who had been staring at them, and said, If that had happened, the police would have been in there already.
The black boy touched his head, and suddenly saw a lot of spectators coming out of the theater door, he quickly reminded, Come out! Come out!
Refresh me! Chris shouted to the hundreds of people behind him, Hold up the slogan and banner, wait for the reporters to come out, and shout with me...
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion and abuse from the audience who walked out in front. The voice was high-pitched and excited. Even at a distance, it fell into the ears of the protesters clearly.
Such a wonderful film is still protesting, you have something wrong with your head!
I X, protesting against the magic film in my mind, I X you...
Have you seen the film? You still protest if you haven't, a group of mentally retarded!
I protest you protesters!
The voices from the opposite side became louder and louder, and Krishna couldn't help but be stunned. The one who should protest was his own side, why did he become those spectators?
Just when he was stunned, many young spectators stopped, and many people gathered around, and a crowd of hundreds quickly formed. They faced the protesters with mocking and sneering faces, as if in Look at the biggest bunch of fools in the world.
Just like in the theater, once the crowd gathers, the emotions are easily contagious. I don’t know who in the audience shouted abusive words, and then a word with a big ‘F’ fell on the heads of the protesters like a downpour.
The reporter also came out, and Sarah of the Los Angeles Times immediately rushed over with her cameraman to capture this rare scene.
In an instant, she thought of the title of this news.
The Fellowship of the Ring only conquered fans with one premiere, and fans fought protesters to preserve the film!
Of course, it is impossible for a war to break out. There are always police around the protesters. They immediately rushed over to maintain order, and the troops on both sides gradually dispersed.
It was at this time that Miller and Pitt, who had left the Chinese Theatre, joined the protesters. (To be continued ^)
