"In the end, the master and the disciple should have reconciled. It ended at the climax, which is great!"
"It's been many years since I've seen such a good music-themed movie. I really enjoyed watching it!"
“When will our company be able to make a good movie like this?”
“…”
After the filming of "Whiplash", Wilson walked out of the cinema and got into the car, and suddenly sighed to his assistant.
Looking at the people coming and going outside the car window, Wilson's expression was somewhat regretful.
In an era dominated by Hollywood blockbusters, there is suddenly a wave of inspirational movies about music, humanity and faith, which is truly a rare spiritual tonic.
When he saw the complicated look in his assistant's eyes, Wilson seemed to react and frowned.
"Helen, don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Lu Yuan, not now, and not in the future..."
"Mr. Wilson, how much do you think Whiplash will earn at its premiere?"
"Probably upwards of $20 million."
"Record-breaking?"
"Um."
…
Thomas Wayne also walked out of the cinema.
As soon as he walked out, countless reporters surrounded him from all directions, asking all kinds of questions, and all of these questions were related to the Oscars, the Best Actor, and how many box office records could be broken.
Thomas Wayne felt very uncomfortable being surrounded by reporters.
This feeling of becoming famous overnight for no apparent reason made him really confused about what was going on in this world.
Everyone was confident about Whiplash, and almost no one doubted that the film would break records.
This feeling...
It's really weird.
In the end, he could only lower his head, smile honestly, and say a few polite words like "everyone is great".
After finally dealing with this group of reporters, Thomas Wayne finally got on the car back to the company.
Looking at the huge crowds of enthusiastic fans and reporters...
Thomas Wayne was still a little dazed.
After the trance, an idea came to his mind uncontrollably.
Am I...
Are you going to become famous overnight?
"Calm down."
"ah?"
"You will experience more of this kind of thing in the future! In the future, you will win the Golden Globe, become an award-winning actor, and become a big shot that everyone is paying attention to. But you must remember that no matter what, you can't be complacent, like in the movies."
"right!"
“We want to be showmen!”
"master?"
At this moment, Zade patted Thomas Wayne on the shoulder and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
However, perhaps influenced by the character in "Whiplash", Zadeh's smile looks gloomy and a little creepy.
Thomas Wayne nodded.
He seemed to have gotten used to this feeling.
"Whiplash" had a profound influence on Zadeh, and the characters in it also influenced Thomas Wayne.
Deep in his heart, the flame of paranoia was instantly ignited after Zade's reminder...
…
"Destructive Creation Method, this is a weird one!"
"You despise me. Actually, I am the same. You want to destroy me, but I won't let you destroy me!"
"Heaven and Hell, what would you choose?"
"This is not an inspirational film, it is a bloody reality film. Children under 18 should watch it with caution!"
“…”
As soon as Whiplash was released, countless reviews began to flood major media and news networks.
Even many international film critics have come out to share their opinions on "Whiplash".
For a time, the popularity exploded.
Of course, the flourishing comments and opinions did not affect the reputation of "Whiplash". In fact, the score of "Whiplash" on the American Movie Network is very scary. It reached a blasting score of nearly 9.2 on the first day, and this data is constantly rising. Among all the art films on the American Movie Network, the only one above it is "The Legend of 1900".
The movie "The Legend of 1900" is already considered a classic movie and is extremely influential worldwide. It is an unsurpassed pinnacle in the field of literary and artistic themes. Whether in terms of lineup or gimmicks, "The Legend of 1900" is invincible.
Whiplash wants to go beyond...
It's really difficult.
After a whole day of excitement and discussion, the total box office for the global premiere of "Whiplash" was announced in the early morning of May 16th.
After seeing this data, Wilson was silent. In fact, he wanted to say something, but in the end he found that he didn't know what to say.
The global total box office reached an astonishing 30 million!
This has exceeded his expectations. This data has even broken the record of musical and artistic films. It is second only to the classic "The Legend of 1900" in the category of artistic films.
"Remote" has made another classic movie.
Wilson put down the data text of Whiplash and sighed again.
Even he didn't know why he sighed.
At this moment, he always felt old.
Andrew has felt old since he went to heaven.
etc.
Andrew?
The protagonist of "Whiplash" is Andrew?
…
The morning of May 16th.
In fact, many fans of the movie "Whiplash" have regrets about it.
after all……
They couldn't buy tickets.
After seeing the overwhelming comments about Whiplash on the Internet, they were eager to watch it, but even if they waited at the pre-sale ticket window, they couldn't get any tickets.
In addition to not being able to buy tickets and watch the premiere film, they also had another regret, which was that the premiere of "Whiplash" did not surpass "The Legend of 1900", so they could not see the exciting Guinness record news.
A bunch of trouble-making movie fans don’t care about the difference between “Whiplash” and “The Legend of 1900”, they just want to have fun and have a blast!
"Whiplash has received great reviews, but unfortunately, the box office performance is still a bit disappointing..."
“There’s always something missing from Whiplash…”
“If it is scheduled in early May, can Whiplash surpass The Legend of 1900?”
"The number and dates of the screenings have ruined the possibility of Whiplash creating a miracle. It has failed..."
“Whiplash should get more screenings, at least the same as The Legend of 1900!”
“…”
“…”
Especially...
What does this mean?
What's wrong with this world?
When Lu Yuan saw many fans expressing regret on the Internet and the popularity was getting higher and higher, he felt that there was something wrong with his mentality.
If he hadn't seen the global box office data of 30 million, Lu Yuan would even think that his "Whiplash" was a flop!
This complexity is just like when a new actor was asked if he had confidence in winning the Best Actor award before the movie was even released...
Isn’t this ridiculous?
He suddenly felt that the world was becoming distorted. We were not expanding, but these people were starting to expand.
Records...
Is it so easy to break?
And the film schedule?
Although the screening rate of "Whiplash" in major theaters has not exceeded that of "The Legend of 1900", it has always been the number one, okay?
Are you going to let all theaters show "Whiplash" and let all other movies go to waste?
Is this fair?
Is the world's cinema chain owned by my family?
Lu Yuan shook his head and ignored it, continuing to busy himself with the filming of "Titanic".
In the days that followed, he felt that he would be busy with the two movies "Batman 2" and "Titanic".
In the evening, when Lu Yuan finished filming "Titanic" and was about to go to the "Batman 2" crew to check on the progress, he suddenly received a call.
The call came from none other than Nino, the director of the legendary Hollywood film "War and Roses".
He called with only one purpose, which was to ask Lu Yuan to help write a script for an art film about music.
After making an appointment to meet in a coffee shop, the old man Lu Yuan was very polite and even came over to help Lu Yuan pull out a chair regardless of his own status.
Seeing that this man who once stood at the top of the world film was so polite to him, Lu Yuan finally felt too embarrassed to refuse.
The two chatted for a long time, and only left the cafe until the early morning of the next day.
When leaving the cafe, Nino carefully took a look at the script summary that Lu Yuan provided him.
"Mia, a lonely young actress, aspires to be an actress and playwright. She is obsessed with old movie stars. She works as a barista on the set of 'remote' entertainment and often skips work to audition. If she really gets a role, even the smallest one will make her ecstatic..."
After reading the script outline, I took another look at the title of the script.
"La La Land"!
He suddenly looked forward to the complete script that Lu Yuan would provide him in a few days.
There is no doubt that...
During his lifetime, he was able to make another extremely classic movie.
but……
etc!
“Remote” set?
Why does this movie feel like an advertisement for "tele" entertainment?
…
This world is indeed a little distorted.
In fact, the subsequent box office of "Whiplash" is still very fierce, basically increasing at an average rate of 25 million US dollars a day, but a wave of public opinion on the Internet feels that "Whiplash" has not achieved the success it should have, and still has various regrets.
as if……
Lu Yuan's works are born to break records, and the fact that "Whiplash" did not break the record is such a failure.
This regret lasted for a few days, and then I was bombarded by another hot news.
Nino, a world-class film master, is about to shoot a new movie "La La Land".
Moreover, the new film will be shot in collaboration with "Remote", and will be written by Lu Yuan...
The Wang Zha combination instantly shocked the entire Hollywood company!
The director of "The Anthropocene" Loren even stayed awake all night.
I dreamed many times that "Anthropocene" collided with "Titanic" and "La La Land" and then flopped.
After all, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
The influence of movies by a master like Nino is absolutely terrifying!
This wave of public opinion bombarded Hollywood for several days in a row, and the heat has not diminished...
All kinds of rhythms were flying all over the place.
…
The office of the Disneyland Director.
"Haha, the movie industry is very lively these days."
"Yeah, this company called 'Remote' is so cute, they do all kinds of things. I watch them bombard me every day!"
"Haha, okay, now it's time to plan the activities for June 1st."
"Yeah, okay!"
Amid such lively public opinion, Elisa, the person in charge of Disneyland, who was looking very happy, had no idea that the next fire would burn her.
Um……
Juneteenth at Disneyland is the craziest holiday.
Then……
James arranged for Final Destination 3 to be released on June 1st...
