Original time and space, the box office failure of "The Shawshank Redemption" was not only encountered many blockbusters, but the main reason may be that the plot of the movie itself is too long.

Some people even said that they fell asleep while watching in the cinema.

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated to Mr. Wu. Because he has never fallen asleep when watching movies, he will only be very irritable when seeing bad movies.

Maybe it's because I can't sleep, so I look even more irritable!

However, he watched the movie "Shawshank Redemption".

And he has read it more than once.

The first time was because he couldn't understand it. He always thought that the protagonist was wronged at the beginning, but he would definitely be able to turn the tables through legal means in the end.

He felt that the protagonist would definitely get evidence in the end and reverse his grievances.

After all, he is the successor who grew up under the Red Star. Although he has never received the class, his three views are absolutely normal and his positive energy is full.

But who would have thought that the protagonist's handling in the end was like this!

Therefore, for the first time, he didn't understand at all and looked confused.

Then I read it again and realized that it was not my illusion.

Only then did he realize that in Europe and the United States, this was also considered a kind of freedom.

All right!

This is indeed a spirit of freedom!

Anyone who sees it will breathe a sigh of relief for the protagonist and be happy for him.

But when you think about it deeply, you can't help but feel a little sad.

Although this kind of social problem is not very common, it does exist, especially the problems like supporting role Lao Bu, which exist more.

And in the Americans, many states are countries without death penalty.

In the mainland, there is basically no need to think of being released, especially in the mainland of that era. Unless the final treatment method is changed to evidence that the protagonist uses the role of the thief to reverse the case.

However, the plot handled in this way does not have any room for sublimation for the plot itself, and the impact on the audience will not be so great, and it will not cause deep thought.

This is one of the biggest reasons why the movie "Shawshank Redemption" is thought-provoking.

Therefore, when it lost to "Forrest Gump" at the Academy Awards, so many people felt sorry for it and felt that it was born at the wrong time. If it weren't for "Forrest Gump", its fate would definitely not be so miserable!

But to think about it from another perspective, if it hadn't met Forrest Gump, would so many people remember it? At least, its performance in the box office is far behind that of Forrest Gump.

Of course, this idea is impossible to implement in original time and space and cannot be verified.

But now, Mr. Wu can give himself an answer.

Because, ‘Shawshank’ and ‘Forrest Gump’ were finally separated by him.

In this episode of "The Superstar is Coming", the ratings rose a lot after the broadcast. Although everyone was basically aimed at the two men, Mr. Wu and Al Pacino, everyone suddenly realized that Mr. Wu was becoming more and more humble.

When Mr. Wu was humble, let alone the audience felt strange, the most depressing thing might be the entertainment journalists. Because they found that Mr. Wu was not as interesting as before.

Although it can still attract people's attention, it is not that powerful.

I don’t know if it’s because he has become calmer because he has grown one year older!

In the past, when he promoted his movies, in order to attract attention, he would say "sarcastically" that the movie could win how much box office the movie could earn.

Even in the drama "A Chinese Ghost Story", he dared to speak out bluntly that he would build Wang Xiaoxian's image in this movie into a memory of an era.

Indeed, he did it!

After the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the Xiangjiang film industry followed many ghost movies. In many ghost movies, the image of female ghosts was created according to Wang Xiaoxian's model list.

However, it is strange that there are only a single actress who can surpass Wang Xiaoxian in the female style.

Wang Xiaoxian's version of Nie Xiaoqian can almost be said to be completely insurmountable.

Even the later version of Nie Xiaoqian, although it does not seem to lack fairy spirit, in Wu's opinion, it still lacks the agility and temptation.

I have to say that some actors are born for that role.

Therefore, Mr. Wu has not let Cheng Xiaodong start filming "A Chinese Ghost Story 2".

Xiangjiang movies are incomparable to the speed of the wind, and Hollywood cannot compare with each other.

Although Mr. Wu has always emphasized that people should not follow the trend or plagiarize, they cannot withstand market demand and the investment enthusiasm of investors.

If you can't ask for others, Mr. Wu has to ask for himself.

At this time, Mr. Wu had already gone to Baodao to do publicity.

After running to the treasure island, he ran to Japan and South Korea again.

There is no need to say what Mr. Wu has fame there.

On July 1st, Zhou Runfa, whose honeymoon has not yet ended, took his wife Chen Huilian to California, North America to support Wu.

Because on this day, "The Shawshank Redemption" was released.

This is a day that countless fans are looking forward to. Global publicity has been working for more than two months, and victory or defeat is here... Well, it is not right, because this movie is aimed at winning the award.

At the box office, Mr. Wu didn’t have a strong sense of expectation.

Although he cut some of this movie, the time was controlled to more than two hours.

For him, this is already done to deal with it with it with all his best efforts.

But he didn't know what the result was.

Because he could watch the original version of "Shawshank", he could watch the version himself, so it was naturally no problem. However, no one could tell whether the audience could watch it.

Although Mr. Wu was a little nervous about this, he could actually find many excuses to comfort himself.

It was originally aimed at winning the awards, and the box office results were a little worse, so it didn’t matter.

The key is whether the Shawshank will win a key grand prize at the Academy Awards next year. He can still not even want the Best Director Award, but he really wants the Best Actor Award.

Although he is not the starring actor, he has already talked to Al Pacino, and Al Pacino himself has also devoted a lot of time and energy to this role.

If he still can't win that award, it's easy to imagine how big the blow it will be.

It is understandable that Mr. Wu cannot win the Best Director Award himself.

After all, he is a Chinese, and he is not an American, and he is still so young.

If he can get it, it will be a record of the youngest best director.

It would be fine if the jury did not give him this award, although he also nominated for the Best Director Award several times.

"The Love of Man and Ghost" once; "The Legend of the Night", although there was a nomination that time, it was probably related to the movement triggered by the movie; and the other time was "God of Gamblers 2".

Of course, "The Love of Man and Ghost" cannot win the award, and Mr. Wu has nothing to say. He was too young at that time. Moreover, Hepburn won the Best Actress Award, which was an unexpected surprise.

After that movie, Hepburn stopped filming for him.

There is also a black actor, Whoopi, who also won the Best Supporting Actress Award for this movie.

As for the failure of "The Legend of the Night" and "God of Gamblers 2", Wu also felt that there was nothing to say. After all, the box office of these two movies was far beyond his imagination.

Especially "Legend of the Night".

If it weren't for that movement, how could this movie break the record?

You know, the box office of the original time and space version of "Legend of the Night" was not that strong.

Even though Kate Beckinsale has become one of Wu's favorite Hollywood actresses because of this movie, it can even be said to be one of the goddesses.

Although goddesses are actually just like that in the entertainment industry, please don’t easily destroy the impression of an idol in the minds of fans. It’s just that everyone can tell you tacitly.

However, it has to be admitted that the box office of this movie is actually just like that. Compared with those movies that cost more than one billion yuan in global box office, it is more than a little worse.

And this time and space are just changing actors, making the scene bigger. The results can be so much stronger than the original time and space.

It even created a box office record that no one can surpass so far.

As for the ‘Shawshank’, that was the beginning of Mr. Wu’s journey to compete for the Oscar Director Award and was also the first step... Although he had made several preparations before, those movies were not for winning the awards by themselves. There was a nomination, which was a reward.

But this "Shawshank" is the clarion call of the journey and is also the first step. Being able to win the award will naturally have some impact on him.

He even wondered, if he could win the award this time, he would continue to shoot "Forrest Gump", then will the jury give him the Best Director Award for two consecutive times?

If the Shawshank can win the Best Director Award, then the possibility of winning the Best Director Award for two consecutive times is completely there.

So, the key depends on how the judges will make a decision.

If they are worried that Mr. Wu will film "Forrest Gump" next year, it is estimated that Mr. Wu will win the Best Director Award this time. They are also worried that Mr. Wu will really do something like this forever.

Of course, there have been directors who have been the best director in film history, and this is not new.

But if it is taken away by a non-American Chinese, it will be new.

On that day, Mr. Wu took Madonna on the red carpet because there were no famous actresses in the movie "Shawshank".

Moreover, in North America, in addition to Madonna, the women around Wu also include Ajani, Amy, Lizhi, etc.

But Amy is the secretary and Lizhi is the person in charge of Starry Sky Investment. They don’t need to show their faces on this red carpet. And Ah Jiani, this woman is ready to retire from the film, and Wu doesn’t want her to show up in public, so she doesn’t think she is also beautiful under this flash, and she goes back to play a role like a lunatic.

Therefore, in this way, only Madonna is left.

And Madonna also needs to find a sense of existence around Mr. Wu.

Although everyone knows what's going on with them!

Of course, because of Mr. Wu, Madonna in this time and space, his image is still relatively positive. There are basically no shocking things.

"Cheng, Cheng..."

"Madonna, Madonna..."

As soon as the two of them got on the red carpet, cheers continued.
Chapter completed!
