Chapter 945 No One Knows Movies Better Than Me
The audience was immediately convinced when they heard Zhang Yang’s answer. Is it so detailed?
"Not only that, the positions of all the actors when the mushroom bomb exploded were exactly the same as the real scene back then. The director specially sought advice from professionals for this." Leo reminded the audience with a smile.
The crowd was shocked again. Is it so awesome? This is how terrifying the world's top three directors are.
After that, the three of them answered a few more questions and today's roadshow officially ended.
The next day, with the official preview of "Oppenheimer", reviews of the film from the general media and audiences were also released.
AP: "Oppenheimer" is an amazing masterpiece!
New York Magazine: Oppenheimer is a movie with an incredible and relentless pace.
The Daily Telegraph: Oppenheimer is the film that completely knocked the critics out.
The American media continued to promote the film, mainly because they thought the movie "Oppenheimer" was really good. Moreover, it sounded good and they could get travel expenses, so why not do it?
Even ordinary audiences were mostly applauding, and many of them also expressed their views on their own media.
"Zhang Yang creates a fascinating and meticulously detailed portrait of a man who changed history and science forever."
"Leon once again gave an Oscar-winning performance."
"I hope Depp can use this to completely get out of the shadow of the crazy woman."
"Scarlett's expression when she refused to shake hands at the end was very vivid."
Of course, some people praised it, while others thought it was not good enough. In addition to thinking that it was dragged out in some parts and took too long,
Many people also think that Zhang Yang portrayed Oppenheimer too well and simply ignored his shortcomings and controversies.
There was a sentence in it that was really heartbreaking, at least that’s what Zhang Yang felt.
"An accident caused by Einstein's bad face?" Zhang Yang was almost defeated when he saw the negative reviews collected by his assistant in the room.
Damn, why does it have a bit of a "murder case caused by a steamed bun" vibe? American audiences are also so mean.
The assistant tried hard not to laugh, because he knew that his boss would be overwhelmed by this comment.
"Boss, negative reviews only account for a small proportion, you don't need to pay too much attention to it."
Zhang Yang threw the information on the table and said "hmm", but still muttered: "This comment was most likely made by a Chinese student studying in the United States."
The next day, two days after Oppenheimer was previewed, its IMDb score was finally released, with an opening score of 9.7.
Zhang Yang was very happy to see this result in the hotel. He kept shaking the paper handed to him by his assistant and said loudly:
"The idea that Einstein's ugly face caused a murder is sheer nonsense. The audience has sharp eyes."
Seeing the boss so happy, the assistant nodded in agreement: "Boss, Oppenheimer might be able to equal or even surpass the rating of Joker on IMDb."
The assistant privately thought that "Oppenheimer" was too politically correct in the United States and it would be unacceptable not to get a high score.
The highest-rated film by Zhang Yang on the American imdb is "Joker", which started with a rating of 9.7, then slowly slipped to 8.8 as the number of people who rated it increased. Even so, it still ranks among the top ten in imdb.
Of course, the other two movies, "A Beautiful Mind" and "Parasite", also received good ratings, 8.2 and 8.6 respectively.
Zhang Yang nodded. He really didn't remember these things, but he thought they should be correct.
That afternoon, Zhang Yang went to a cinema to start his roadshow in a good mood.
When he met Depp and Leo, all three of them were smiling.
Such a high rating from imdb is also a form of hype, and it can be used as a reference for members of the Academy.
Everyone waited backstage at the cinema for more than half an hour before going to the stage of the screening room and starting another day of roadshow.
The three of them joked around for a while, and then it was time for the audience to ask questions. In addition to the general audience, there were also many media reporters who were lucky to "meet" Zhang Yang by chance.
After a few general questions were asked, the theater manager prepared to select the last questioner.
He saw an Asian face and subconsciously thought it was Zhang Yang's compatriot. It seemed that the person had raised his hand many times, so he decided to give this person a chance to ask a question.
The handsome guy excitedly took the microphone and quickly asked Zhang Yang a question in English: "Director, I think Oppenheimer is a good movie."
"Thank you."
"But why can't you spend a few more minutes telling us about what's happening to ordinary people?" The handsome guy's voice got louder and louder as he spoke, his face flushing abnormally.
I don’t know whether I was excited or angry, but in the end I even spoke my native language.
Damn, the theater manager exclaimed in his heart, how could this be Zhang Yang's compatriot, this is a small day. Or is it a Japanese, he is here to make trouble.
Zhang Yang looked at the handsome guy with a little surprise. He didn't expect that he was an ordinary person.
"This is a film shot from the perspective of Oppenheimer himself, with the mushroom bomb dropped on a small day and Oppenheimer half a world away.
He himself did not see the specific situation, I just presented the history truthfully, it is a biographical film after all." Zhang Yang said expressionlessly.
"Then why did you film the poisoned apple incident? That is also true history?" Xiao Rizi asked quickly, he was afraid that his microphone would be snatched away.
"Oppenheimer is a movie after all. Artistic processing of some harmless parts can make his character more full-bodied. Can you understand this?" Zhang Yang changed his words.
I feel like my head is going to get dizzy these days. Well, it turns out that you can say whatever you want, and the final right of interpretation is all yours.
"I can't understand." Xiao Rizi shook his head violently, disagreeing with Zhang Yang's explanation.
"Then go back and think about it carefully."
“Is your understanding correct?”
"At least on this earth, there are few people who understand movies better than me." Zhang Yang seems calm and relaxed in the face of his somewhat impulsive life.
When the media reporters at the scene heard this, they frantically pressed the shutter button at Zhang Yang.
At this moment, they almost thought that Zhang Yang was possessed by that man because the words he said were so similar.
The cinema manager saw how things had developed to this point and immediately winked at his employees. They turned off the microphones for questions about Xiao Ri Zi and announced that today's roadshow was over.
We can't go on any further. If we continue, Zhang Yang doesn't know what he will say.
Since the end of this roadshow, Zhang Yang quickly became a trending topic on Twitter.
The term that made him a hot search was #No one knows movies better than me#.
Only those who have experienced it in the United States know how popular that man is on Twitter.
The heat between Zhang Yang and that man directly set off Twitter.
The video of his answer also went viral on the Internet, not only in the United States, but also around the world.
This is how the most popular promotion for "Oppenheimer" came about.
Of course, that man is not just there to do nothing. With so much popularity, would it be worthy of his status if he didn’t take advantage of it?
So on the morning of the 24th in the United States, he tweeted: You are the emperor of movies, and no one knows movies better than you.
Wow, the heat that had just dropped overnight was heated up again, and the newly released entry #It's true that no one knows movies better than you# suddenly became a hot search.
This reply made Americans excited.
The only pity is that Zhang Yang doesn’t have Twitter, otherwise they could interact back and forth, and the movie "Oppenheimer" wouldn’t have to go on a roadshow, and its popularity could have been maintained until the movie was released.
In addition, Zhang Yang's reputation as the Movie Emperor became more and more famous. After all, it was recognized by that man. No matter what he thought, he agreed with the title.
When Zhang Yang heard his assistant report to him in the hotel, he was completely stunned.
"Is this guy so idle?" He was just making a joke, but he didn't expect this guy to accept it. He is so shameless, trying to take advantage of his popularity.
The assistant smiled and said nothing. As a result, his boss became famous all over the world again.
In the past, he became famous mostly for how much money he made, how many awards he won, or some news about him and Liu Yifei, but this time it’s really…
"Last night it was rainy and windy, and the remaining wine was not washed away by a heavy sleep."
Zhang Yang's cell phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw it was Jim.
"Zhang Yang, there's a problem." Jim's serious voice came from the phone.
"Is the movie too popular?" Zhang Yang joked. He thought Jim was joking.
"Our movie cannot be released as scheduled on Xiaori." Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't know what was going on, Jim told him the fact directly.
Zhang Yang's "Oppenheimer" is very different from the original time and space. It is released simultaneously around the world, unlike the original time and space, where different countries have different times.
Although it is still classified as R-rated due to the nude scenes, Zhang Yang had already made preparations in advance and made a black gauze version that doesn't reveal anything, so it passed safely in China.
It’s just a daily routine, and seeing the trend of “Oppenheimer” being released simultaneously around the world, even though the subject matter is sensitive, we agreed to release it.
Now they actually regret it!
"I'll be there right away." Zhang Yang hung up the phone and asked his assistant to drive him to Paramount.
In late October in Los Angeles, the temperature is 15-26℃, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Zhang Yang, wearing a blue short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, sat in the car and looked at the towering palm trees in the distance, swaying in the wind, adding a touch of tropical flavor to the city.
"Boss, we're here." The assistant's voice came over, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Paramount.
Zhang Yang gathered his thoughts and walked into the company building with his assistant and bodyguard. As soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor, Jim's assistant came over to lead the way for him.
The employees of Paramount all looked at Zhang Yang with strange eyes. He was personally recognized as the movie emperor by that man. They couldn't help but be curious.
They came to the general manager's office. Zhang Yang and Jim sat on the sofa and exchanged a few words before asking about the details.
"What happened to the little day?"
"No doubt they are responding to what you said on the roadshow yesterday."
"They don't even give face to you, Paramount?"
"Everyone has a temper. I didn't really want Oppenheimer to be released in the first place, and this just gives me an excuse." Jim said helplessly with his hands paralyzed.
"Why don't you just arrest the people from the Xiaorizi Cultural Unit?" Zhang Yang waved his hand and gave Jim a bad idea.
"Hey, Zhang Yang, what are you talking about, our country..." Jim said some high-sounding words.
"Everyone knows that every director of the Special X Department has to come to your country, the United States, to study abroad." Zhang Yang looked at Jim with contempt.
The daily life of the special X department is a bit like beating the tyrant above and the greedy ministers below.
This department is also a powerful tool for the United States to control people's lives. If anyone disobeys, the United States will send that disobedient person to jail through it.
"Rumors, all rumors." Jim shook his hands repeatedly and rejected them righteously.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"you can……"
"No." Zhang Yang interrupted him directly.
"At most the film will be released later on a smaller date. Do they really dare not allow it to be released?"
"Well, that's a shame," Jim shrugged helplessly.
Zhang Yang looked at his expression and an idea flashed in his mind: "Jim, you can ask the publicity team of Han Country to report this incident on a large scale.
I believe that as a result, Oppenheimer will do surprisingly well there.”
