Chapter 751 2000 Million Dollars Smashed Down
The premiere of "Manchester by the Sea" was relatively low-key, but not deserted.

In addition to Fu Luo, Li An, and other main creative personnel of the film, even Scarlett Johansson, who only had one soy sauce, made a special trip to attend.

Then Anne Hathaway also came to help out. The other party and Li An had filmed the famous "Brokeback Mountain" together. Needless to say, she and Fu Luo, after all, "Interstellar" is currently in theaters, and they all know each other , it is not so surprising that they will come to support.

To put it more utilitarianly, Li An is a great director, and Fu Luo's status is not low and he is super rich. There are many people who want to show goodwill to the two of them. Benefits can sometimes clear up many potential factors.

In addition, many film critics have also been invited by Focus Pictures. If they want to compete for awards, they must invest in this aspect.

Anyway, this time Fu Luo personally plans to spend 2000 million US dollars to find professionals to help with public relations to see if he has a chance to win a big prize. It is rare to join in the fun in life. Naturally, other people's sites have to follow other people's rules. If you spend a little money, you can succeed , that is also excellent.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed, as long as you don't play in the future, he is not as persistent as Xiao Lizi.

There was not much public relations last year, because Fu Luo felt that the chances of "Gravity" winning the award were really low, and there was no need to bother.

After all, for the Oscars, if a sci-fi film wants to win the best actor, it is undoubtedly possible for the sun to come out from the west.

Now this "Manchester by the Sea" is naturally more in line with Oscar's taste. The only thing that is not sure is probably his Chinese identity.

But there is no way, he is Chinese, so he can only wait for the final result.

It seems a bit too far-sighted to say these things, at least you have to be nominated before you are qualified to talk about them.

Anyway, before Christmas next month, as usual, the Golden Globes will announce their nominations. By then, they should know if there is a chance. It's a weather vane!

Back at the premiere, amidst the shouts of dozens of media reporters at the scene, the main creators of "Manchester by the Sea" began to accept questions from reporters and take pictures.

In this way, almost 10 minutes later, the short red carpet ceremony came to an end smoothly, and all the guests also began to enter the theater, ready to start watching movies.

Another 15 minutes passed, and as the entire auditorium went dark, the factory logos of Focus Pictures and Dune Entertainment appeared on the big screen. The small town of Manchester by the sea ahead.

The picture is beautiful and peaceful, and with Albinoni's Adagio soundtrack in G minor, it even makes people feel comfortable.

In the dark, many professional film critics also nodded secretly, and Li An's level did not disappoint.

Soon, another two sets of shots were switched on the screen, bringing out the title of the movie, until the next scene turned into facing the sea again, uh... There is no spring, it is winter after all.

Then a ferry boat that kept advancing rushed into the camera, and then Fu Luo, the leading actor, and a small actor also officially appeared on the stage, but it was only a distant view, and only the two of them could be seen laughing and talking.

This shot may seem ordinary, but it actually conveys the emotions of Fu Luo, the hero, in a state of joy.

Soon, after this long shot ended, several small clips and small plots appeared one after another, showing the life of the protagonist Fu Luo, and at the same time, a temperament of mourning greater than heart death was also revealed from him come out.

It forms a strong contrast with the previous picture, and it also makes the audience have a thought and idea to find out.

A few fragments can be regarded as showing Fu Luo's acting strength, and that decadent temperament, which he interprets, seems to come out of his bones.

The next moment, Scarlett Johansson in sexy pajamas on the big screen also appeared on the stage, which immediately caught the eyes of many people, especially men.

"Heh~~!!!"

As the conversation began, when Scarlett Johansson said in a sarcastic tone, "You want to see me take a bath and drink my bath water", there was a chuckle in the auditorium, maybe it was all Think of Durant's stalk.

And Scarlett Johansson in the dark also smiled slightly.

In fact, there was no such sentence in the original lines, but when the scene was filmed, that guy Fu Luo said about "drinking the bath water".

Later, she took the initiative to add this line. Director Li An didn't say anything at the time, and now she has kept it, which surprised Scarlett Johansson.

Regardless of the overall situation, the movie on the big screen continued to be shown, and it was unfolded entirely through the eyes of the male protagonist, Fu Luo.

There are two lines in total, one is the family breakdown caused by the hero's family tragedy, and the other is that after the death of the hero's brother, the nephew left behind needs his guardianship.

A father who can't get over the pain of bereavement, and a son who lost his father. These two people with special identities come together, and all kinds of life contradictions become an in-depth discussion about family affection.

In fact, the movie doesn't care about conveying a kind of value, or bringing some kind of dramatic visual presentation through the reversal of positive energy, it just conveys such a feeling of loss.

It is everyone's subjective choice to choose how to live, so the sadness and melancholy diffused in "Manchester by the Sea" is also the independent choice of the hero, which has nothing to do with right or wrong.

Perhaps the audience has been looking forward to warmth, but by the end of the movie, the warmth did not come as expected to comfort the hero.

This kind of reversal without reversal is actually the biggest reversal, and it does not follow the old traditional routine.

Then the whole movie also adopts the method of interludes, and various fragments are intermingled with each other, but under the control of the director Li An, it will not be incomprehensible to people.

Even two seemingly unrelated pictures, in fact, if you think about it a little bit, you will find that there is always a faint connection. The original version is not so perfect in this respect.

Perhaps, this is the difference between the Oscar-winning director and the director of the original film.

"Huh huh huh huh!!!"

As time passed, after about two hours passed, when the end credits appeared on the big screen, the audience stood up and gave warm applause.

In everyone's minds, the movie "Manchester by the Sea" did not bring any positive energy, and it was sad to the end. It seemed that there were no surprises, but in fact it was the biggest surprise, which was so real that it pierced the heart.

…………

The next day, various film reviews of "Manchester by the Sea" were freshly released. It can be said that most people gave good reviews and called it a film definitely worth watching.

There are not only the operation of Focus Pictures and the public relations team, but also the quality of the film itself. At least in the eyes of those who admire the art of film, "Manchester by the Sea" must be a high-quality work.

In addition, the box office of the film on the first day also has specific figures. It was shown in five theaters, and the single box office reached 123155 US dollars, with a total box office of 61.6 US dollars, which is amazing enough.

In terms of single-house box office, the score of US$123155 can be ranked No.14 in 3, only lost to "American Sniper" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

Both films are big hits this year, arguably rivals to Manchester by the Sea.

But Fu Luo wasn't too worried, because neither of the two films seemed to have won any major awards in my memory.

The actor he is most concerned about belongs to "Little Freckles" Eddie Redmayne, the first actor born in the 80s in Oscar history.

In this way, Fu Luo, who stayed in the United States for another two days, is going to go back to China after he has arranged some things. He is not allowed to stay here and go to parties or anything. Money is fine.
