One Hundred and Fifty One: American Premiere
Americans and Chinese are still a little different after all. Duane realized this and was on the stage of the AFC Theater.
He stood on the stage, with a crowded audience in front of him, with local American media gathering in the audience, and the host next to him communicated with him with a smile, while the translator Wu Yaozong, who was around, whispered to translate the host's words to him.
"Yes,"
He said with the microphone, "This movie does add a lot of new things, unlike my previous two movies, but as a director, you can't always shoot the same thing, right? It seems to me that's so scary and boring. I always like to try something new, which makes me happy..."
He said a paragraph, paused for a moment, and waited until Wu Yaozong next to him translated what he said, and then continued to speak loudly in a microphone.
This is not very different from the domestic premiere. It is probably because many things in the American film and television industry are directly borrowed from the Chinese film and television industry, but the next scene is that it will never happen in China.
A front row audience suddenly stood up and shouted something. Duane only understood a few words such as "China" and "Go Back", but looking at the man's expression, it seemed that nothing good was said.
The man was a white man, and the so-called classic model was that Duane, a blind patient, looked like this person who looked like all the white people on the street, and there was no difference.
This man looked in his twenties, with an angry expression, his mouth kept moving, and he kept shouting, his speech was very fast. Apart from the first few words, Duan could not understand only one word after that. However, from the embarrassing and ugly faces of Wu Yaozong and the host beside him, it is not difficult to see that this man was not saying anything good.
The media reporters became excited and quickly shifted the camera and shot it at the man. So the white man became more excited when he looked at him, as if he was inspired to fight cocks, and his speech was faster.
Du An put down the microphone, then signaled Wu Yaozong beside him to put the microphone down, and asked in a low voice: "What are he talking about?"
Wu Yaozong hesitated for a moment, looked at the white man and Du An, and said in embarrassment: "I think you shouldn't know."
Sure enough, something bad is wrong.
This scene suddenly happened, and the theater was noisy. Duane saw the white man with audience shouting excitedly at him, asking him to sit down, "Private tdon!plea color...", which he could still understand. There were also those behind, those who turned their heads in front, and those around him, many viewers were saying something to this white man, but they could not stop the white man from speaking.
In the end, two black guards from the theater arrived in time and stopped him. After one of the black guards talked to the white man for a few words, Duane saw the white man smiling and walked out of the seat, walked to the passage, and then gave him a middle finger far away.
OK, the common word in the world, it’s simple and clear. Now he knows what white men mean without translation.
Many viewers covered their faces and shouted "eon" when they saw this, as if they were ashamed of their companion. The excited man stood up and seemed to want to go over and have a good chat with this buddy, but was pulled by the female companion beside him and sat down.
Duane silently watched the white man's movements and silently.
This is the sadness of being a public figure. Even if someone provokes in person, you have to endure it, because everyone's eyes are focused on you. As long as you act a little rashly, you will be infinitely magnified. So he can only watch this white man leave the theater leisurely under the double-team of two black guards.
From time to time, people shouted something to him in the seats where the white man passed. It was too far away that Duane could not hear clearly, and could only hear some words like "ashamed" and "goodjob". As the white man walked further and further, he could not hear those words.
It seems that there are people who like him and those who dislike him at this scene. But what puzzled Duane was that since he disliked him, why did he still come to the premiere of his movie? He could understand the white man just now. The premiere was probably to stand up and say some trash words in front of him, and what are the psychology of those who sit in the position and say "goodjob" but don't get up and leave and don't stand up to speak?
He really couldn't understand the strange psychology of these Americans.
The interview begins again.
The host was influenced by the moment and his expression was a little unnatural. He was thinking about whether to interview Shu Yu next to him first and give the director Du An a psychological buffer, but Du An had already picked up the microphone again, smiled, and continued to talk about the topic just now.
His expression was exactly the same as before the conflict just now. If you use a ruler to measure it, you can even find that the height of the corners of his mouth was the same as before, with the error of no more than 1 mm. It seems that he has not been affected by the incident just now, but in fact he is still affected. Now he is in a very unhappy mood, but with his superb acting skills, it is just that it is impossible to tell.
"...I try to show something different from the past in this movie, and I will continue to do this in future movies. It is impossible to say that I will always be fixed on a certain frame, such as comedy, action movie, martial arts movie, and even cartoons. I will want to try it..."
After the premiere interview, Duane returned to the audience and sat down.
His seat is in the middle of the first row, with Wu Yaozong on the right and Tom Cruise on the left.
After Duane sat down, the white star said a few words apologetically. Wu Yaozong translated it, saying that it was "I feel sorry for what happened just now, An. Please don't be affected by him. Your movie is great, "Saw" and "Pretty Beauty", all of which make us crazy. You should see that everyone here likes you, they like your movies, and of course, including me, I am also your fan."
Duane nodded and smiled.
Yes, he had just seen some reactions from the audience. There were still many people who liked him, "Thank you, Tom, this matter has passed, I didn't take it to heart." Wu Yaozong translated his words.
It was so painful to chat through translation, so after the two of them said a few simple words, they stopped communicating, and the movie began.
Americans are indeed different from Chinese people. Duane discovered this again during the movie watching.
Domestic audiences are more restrained. Even when they are excited, they will deliberately suppress their emotions and not reveal them. American audiences are much more out: when they see Wang Ming looking for assistance everywhere for the right to watch the World Cup and finally win Bart's vote, some whistles can be heard on the scene, and Duan vaguely heard words like "that' private t" coming from the back row; when Wang Ming took the patients in the Asylum to fish out and finally returned triumphantly with several big fish, Duan heard someone exclaiming "arzy"; when Wang Ming turned the Asylum into a party dance, everyone danced and cared for the whole time, the scene almost started to burn...
It seems that American audiences enjoy his movie more?
Duane thought about this problem.
When the film ended and the last scene was over, the American League Theater was quiet first, then instantly boiled, and it had become a party scene.
Many spectators stood up, some slapped the back of the chair, some whistled loudly, and some shouted Duane's name and applauded.
“This is a great movie!”
Tom Cruise, who was beside Duane, praised this, stood up and applauded with the audience. The supporting stars around him: Johnny Depp, Meg Ryan, etc. also came over to shake hands with him, not stingy with their praise, sighed at the excellence of the film and congratulated Duane.
Du An thanked them one by one, and then went on stage with Shu Yu again, accepting the applause and cheers from the audience. In the noisy and lively atmosphere, the premiere ended perfectly.
In the American media reports the next day, "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" occupied a lot of newspaper pages.
"A amazing great movie." This is a comment from the Los Angeles Times. Some other newspapers also focus on the excellent viewing of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum". In addition, more media focused their reports on the emergencies that happened yesterday at the premiere of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum".
"There was an accident at the premiere of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum", and the Chinese director seemed not to be popular among the American people." This is a report from "Daily Entertainment". This newspaper always likes to add fuel to the fire and attract attention. In the report, Duane faced the audience's provocative behavior, with a "distorted face" and "blushed face". "If it weren't for his companions, he would be sure that he would rush down to beat the man who made the remarks."
Some newspapers reported on this matter from different angles, thinking that Duane’s restrained behavior is worthy of praise, believing that movie fans need to restrain themselves when watching movies, and some believe that this matter reflects the weak inferiority complex of the United States’ own film industry, the United States needs to accelerate the development of its own film industry, and Hollywood needs to develop...
But no matter what, the promotion of "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum" was successful, and the emergencies at the premiere yesterday made them unpredictably promote "Flying Over the Crazy Asylum".
"Maybe I should have rushed down and beat him up, maybe the publicity effect would be better."
After Wu Yaozong read the content of these reports to them, Du An joked.
Shu Yu curled her lips and said nothing.
Their itinerary was very tight, and after recording a TV interview program in Los Angeles, they went to New York without stopping. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian.
