"He is a small thug. He has done many despicable things. He lives at the bottom of society and is as muddleheaded as most small thugs. But at this moment, he is enough to win applause and make us cheer for him. His rusty resume is just a shell of his transformation. Just like Rocky, they finally proved themselves on a stage that the world is watching. Please remember, his name is Bog Zad..."
The premiere of "Rocky" is over.
This movie is not like other American blockbusters, which directly use very dazzling special effects to shoot very cool scenes.
In fact, the special effects in this movie are very rarely used, or even non-existent. The content is basically simple and realistic. Although everyone lacks a sense of immersion at first, when Rocky, played by Zadeh, truly shows his kind and hysterical side, everyone identifies with this little gangster.
In fact, the mainstream entertainment media in the United States also highly agrees with this "Rocky".
On the evening of July 16, Entertainment Weekly wrote this passage very seriously on the most eye-catching front page, and accompanied it with a scene of Rocky standing on the stage, bleeding but looking extremely strong.
This is the poster for Rocky.
Entertainment Weekly's review of the film was very pertinent, and the official website was filled with various positive reviews about Rocky.
In addition to the reviews for the film itself, Zadeh also officially appeared in everyone's sight as an actor.
At the same time, Zade's identity as a gangster was no longer despised and spurned as before. In fact, people began to feel a hint of sympathy and invisible empathy for him.
Yes, he really did not receive any education, and he really lived at the bottom of society.
But, what can we do about it?
Could it be that these are his fault?
No!
None of this was ever his fault, after all, he couldn't choose his own birth!
Just like what was said in the movie "Rocky", this is his livelihood, and it is not easy for people to survive in this society.
certainly……
The people who are most deeply touched by "Rocky" are those who come from the bottom of society and are in a muddle.
After watching Rocky, they suddenly realized that this was a light that belonged to them. They suddenly found that this movie, which seemed boring at first glance, but they felt very empathetic after watching it, was worth watching a second time...
They are Rocky. They were once not recognized and had experienced all kinds of things that made them accept their fate. In fact, they also longed for life to suddenly give them a little surprise, and then...
Therefore change!
…
In terms of ratings on professional American film websites, the movie "Rocky" has already scored 9.4 points!
Moreover, this rating is gradually rising, and some people even call "Rocky" another rare inspirational film in the history of American films.
The famous French director Mr. Henry wrote a very long article on his personal website to evaluate "Rocky". In his article, he evaluated some of the shortcomings of the film from a very professional perspective and rarely mentioned the advantages of the film. However, in the final summary, he unexpectedly rated the film as a classic.
Then, he wrote another article very proudly...
"I am very honored because I can see such a genius in my lifetime."
"The greatest all-round genius of this century is so close to me at this moment..."
"I watched his movies and listened to his piano music. At the same time, my granddaughter in China was broadcasting live about the project he created..."
"I'm honored, yes, I'm very honored!"
"In fact, the success of the movie Rocky itself is the finishing touch of Mr. Lu Yuan. After all, in my opinion, this script does not require any acting skills from Zade. He just needs to play himself... Yes, the best acting is the true performance of one's true self..."
"I suddenly realized that Lu Yuan can create the best actor in his own way. This is undoubtedly terrifying and impossible to imitate. After all, no one has such a terrifying talent as him..."
“…”
“…”
Henry's second article is full of emotion and enthusiasm.
No one could have imagined that a director who had always been aloof in the director circle, often sneered at geniuses and felt that there were no geniuses in the world, would suddenly write this article in such a fanatical and excited tone.
In fact, when everyone saw this article, they suspected that they had read it wrong.
But when they found out that the source of the article was indeed Henry's personal official website, they believed it.
While believing it, there is an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to praise a movie. In fact, there are quite a few people who criticize "Rocky".
At the same time, several directors from entertainment companies, led by Century Entertainment, were praising "American 1900" and disparaging "Rocky". They believed that "American 1900" was the real classic, and as for "Rocky", well, basically the disparagement was based on the filming techniques, the old-fashioned plot, and the forced sensationalism...
certainly……
These people are far from enough to stop the wave of movie-watching craze.
…
After watching "America in 1900" and observing the people around him, Allen's expression seemed a little strange.
He left the theater with a heavy heart, realizing that America 1900, a film that cost Columbia Pictures more than two years to produce and cost nearly $10 million, might be in trouble.
By the evening, when Alan saw the reviews of "America 1900" on the Internet, his bad premonition became even stronger.
In contrast to the popularity of Rocky, no one said that the plot of America 1900 was old-fashioned, and there was not much criticism either...
In fact, 80 percent of movie fans say that "America 1900" is incomprehensible.
The editing of the plot is not right, and the storyline is a bit inexplicable, and even many parts don't connect, which feels weird.
Both American and Chinese movie fans feel this way.
The ratings plummeted, falling directly below 7 points, almost on par with some bad American movies.
There were even many doubts on the personal website of the great director Bob.
"What's going on, Bob? This America 1900 is totally not your standard!"
"Yeah, Director Bob, what's the matter? It took you two years to make such a thing?"
"Was it taken by someone else? I seriously suspect that you are a fake. I seriously suspect that your name was forcibly used on "America 1900"..."
"right!"
“…”
“…”
After seeing all these comments, Allen's feeling became worse and worse.
In Allen's opinion, the movie "America 1900" does have a lot of problems. Many plots that could not be cut have now been cut out.
If this is true, then tomorrow's box office will definitely not be optimistic!
Alan touched his hair and then took a deep breath.
He checked the time on the wall.
There are still three hours until the first day’s box office results are released!
He suddenly no longer had high expectations for the box office on the first day of the premiere.
…
The sun sets.
While Fatty Wei and others were cheering for the rising ratings of "Rocky", Lu Yuan and Wang Jinxue were watching the movie "America 1900" in his father-in-law's cinema.
In fact, Lu Yuan had watched Bob's movies after coming to this world.
If there is any director in the world who deserves Lu Yuan's admiration, it is Bob from Colombia.
He has directed several classic films such as "March in America", "War and Peace" and "Onward!", which have both good reputation and box office success.
Lu Yuan especially likes "Go!" This is the only movie that Lu Yuan has watched more than three times, although...
This movie was supported by Lu Yuan on the pirated website.
Cough cough.
In short, Lu Yuan is actually quite looking forward to "America 1900".
However, after watching America 1900 in the cinema, he also felt confused and at a loss.
What does this mean!
What is this movie about, and what do these characters that suddenly appear mean?
Why do I feel so confused?
Besides, this movie is two and a half hours long?
After reading it, Lu Yuan was completely confused.
"Jinxue, can you understand this movie?"
"I understand a little bit, but this movie is very confusing..."
"Hmm... I feel the same way. This is totally not the level of Director Bob. Could it be that someone is using Director Bob's name to cause trouble? That's not right. This can't be possible..."
"Well, I don't know, but, Lu Yuan, his movie probably can't compete with your Rocky at the box office... You don't seem very happy?"
"No... I just think that he shouldn't be at this level." Lu Yuan held his chin and then frowned slightly.
"..." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan, and she found that she couldn't understand Lu Yuan at all.
She seemed to see...
Lu Yuan’s regret?
"Maybe..." Lu Yuan's pupils shrank.
He suddenly remembered that there was a movie in the original world, which was exactly like this when it was first released, and that movie also suffered huge losses!
but……
Later, that movie suddenly became the biggest loss in the history of world cinema.
Lu Yuan frowned even deeper.
…
Early morning.
Lu Yuan stayed in the office, quietly waiting for the final box office of "Rocky".
While waiting, thousands of thoughts surged in his mind, and several times, he wanted to call Columbia.
But then it stopped again.
After three o'clock in the morning, he received a call from Forrest in Hollywood!
"Boss, the box office is out, the box office is finally out!"
"How many?"
"The box office in the U.S. is four million dollars! Second only to the $500,000 box office of USA 1900. And, judging by the reviews of the movie, USA 1900 flopped. Boss, we won! We won! Zade, did you hear me? You are going to take down all the best actor's movies soon. I am going to take down Director Bob soon!"
"Congratulations!"
"Well, Boss, we will succeed. We will truly gain a foothold in Hollywood and become the number one in Hollywood!"
“…”
“…”
After watching Forrest’s movie, there was another knock on Lu Yuan’s office door!
"Come in!"
"Son of a bitch, haha, we won. America 1900 only made 20 million in China, and we made 25 million. We won, we beat Bob!"
“…”
“…”
Fatty Wei seemed to be cut from the same mold as Forrest, rushing in with the ticket in hand, looking dusty...
