Chapter 836: Harvest at the beginning of the year
As for how they got the quota, Niu Qihua and the others were inevitably asked to ask Chen Kangjie. That afternoon, Chen Kangjie was blocked by them at the school gate after school and took him to the office. The evening training was cancelled very slowly. On the one hand, they had to ask clearly how Chen Kangjie got the quota, and more importantly, they had to discuss with Chen Kangjie the preliminary training plan they drafted.
After knowing Chen Kangjie for a while, they also found some of Chen Kangjie's temper and way of doing things. If you want Chen Kangjie to train well, you can only start from his personality and temper. This is called knowing yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Chen Kangjie is the kind of person who is hard to pursue with one word. It can be said that he is a man's word. As long as he admits something, he will not regret it. Instead, he will do his best and persist to complete it. This is the intuitive feeling of Niu Qihua and the others spending a while with Chen Kangjie. Take the filming of the movie that was just completed as an example. Chen Kangjie stipulated that he would complete it within that time, and he would choose to do it day and night. Not only himself, but the entire crew was also asked to do it, and in the end it was not too timed out.
After two months of careful production, this movie "Forrest Gump" was first released in major theaters in the United States on the eve of New Year's Day. Next are European countries, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Russia, South America, etc. The release schedule will be scheduled until March 4.
In order to increase the publicity effect, Miramax Company gave a grand premiere at the Chinese Grand Theater in Los Angeles. Except for Chen Kangjie, the key figure, other cast members attended the show.
Although Chen Kangjie would not attend in person, it still attracted a lot of media to come and interview. Many critics, as the first audience, took the lead in watching the film. The male lead Tom Hanks, as the most eye-catching superstar, led the publicity of the day, which supported the scene. He was mainly the interviewee. Among so many actors involved in the filming, who is the most famous?
Although the focus of the interview was Tom Hanks, at least half of the questions asked were related to Chen Kangjie. Not only him, even cast members like Jeddica, Robin Wright Pan would involve Chen Kangjie when asked questions by reporters. In short, everyone is trying every means to inquire about Chen Kangjie. Anyway, the more mysterious they are, the more interested they are. The audience and readers are very interested in this.
This is before watching the movie. After watching the movie, almost all the questions were directed at Chen Kangjie, and the inquiry was no longer about him. The reporters finally returned to the movie itself, and the focus was on this movie. For example, how could LONG think of making a film about contemporary American society? For example, what does LONG look at the United States in the past few decades? For example, what does LONG want to tell the American people through this movie, etc. Anyway, it was this movie that moved them and allowed them to find a feeling of memory and return to their souls. This feeling is very friendly and hazy, and seems to be right next to them, but the distance is not so easy to grasp. Most of the things told in the movie have experienced, but after all, it has been the past few decades.
No matter what kind of question it is, no one can answer it on behalf of Chen Kangjie, because all those who answer the questions think that Chen Kangjie is not so easy to understand. It is a bit incredible that a foreigner can tell the history of his country so emotionally and understand it so meticulously, not to mention that Chen Kangjie did not entrust them to answer any questions.
Before the film was played, a video of Chen Kangjie's back was played. In these few minutes, Chen Kangjie himself did not answer those questions. He mainly thanked the crew for their hard work and strong support, and then explained why he could not attend the premiere. Even for the promotion of this movie, Chen Kangjie said very little, just to tell everyone that this is definitely a movie worth watching, a movie with humor but you can't laugh out loud, just a few words.
Chen Kangjie didn't want Wang Po to sell melons. Whether this movie is worth watching in the end, or whether it can impress the audience, or whether it has historical value, is the matter of the media and film critics. He just made the movie in his memory.
There is no doubt that media reports are naturally almost all positive comments, greatly amazement, deeply moved, incredible, touched the soul, shaped history, greatness, classics, etc. These words are widely adopted by major media.
For example, the New York Times film review column called it "will be a classic American business card", Movie Weekly called it "a representative work of the American "anti-intelligent film", the BBC evaluated it as an "authoritative American movie", the Los Angeles Times said that "Forrest Gump is full of the conservative spirit of the return of Hollywood movies", CNN commented on it in news commentary: "An epic film that shows the agreement between history and individuals, and looks at the history of American politics and society based on the experience of small people." The Chicago Sun's commentary title is directly "incredible". The article analyzes the historical subtleties mentioned in the movie in detail, including the 3KKK and Xiaoshi. The City Incident, Playboy's School Uniform Incident, Washington Anti-War Game, Jiaozhi War, Watergate Incident, Table Tennis Diplomacy, John Lennon, etc. The newspaper compared the story with real history, but did not pick any criticism. The first issue of Time magazine in 1996 included Tom Hanks as the cover. They originally wanted to use Chen Kangjie as the cover, but they could not find a comprehensive photo of him, so Hanks picked up this cheap. At the end of the description of the film, there was a sentence, "Like other best actors, Hanks is a super reactor." It can be seen that Tom Hanks really interpreted the role of Forrest Gump to be so melodious.
The comments of the famous Hollywood producer and film critic Wendy Felerman are more emotional. He said: "I think Forrest Gump in the story is simply a typical American. His growth process is exactly what we have experienced. He makes us look back on the past history clearly. He is a good person who can make people cry and make people laugh."
In short, Chen Kangjie was successful. When the movie was fully released in North America, the New York Times directly posted a big title "THANKYOU, LONG" on the front page to express the touch and historical return that Chen Kangjie brought to them.
Even when President KLD held a press conference on the State of the Union address, he was asked by reporters about his views on this movie and his views on LONG. What can President KLD say in addition to praise or praise, ",,, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely treat him to the American people."
Chen Kangjie would not be surprised at all about the success of this movie. In history, he once achieved a box office of nearly 700 million US dollars, and there were many praises all over the world. This time, in post-production, Chen Kangjie had time to participate in the 1996 Oscars selection, and added $5 million, making the cost of $65 million. In addition, Chen Kangjie's fame, the box office of this movie will only exceed 700 million US dollars, which will not be reduced. As for how much it can exceed, it will take until the statistics can be seen after the global broadcast is completed. Anyway, many people are looking forward to it.
At this time, the happiest person was not Chen Kangjie, but Jon Gordon and Fan Wenxuan, because they were doing the company's business, making a fortune was what they most wanted to see, but Chen Kangjie didn't care much about money.
He couldn't care. At this moment, he was being escorted by several coaches to train as if he was doing a cow or a horse. Since the winter vacation came, Chen Kangjie's training was suddenly mentioned to be 9 hours a day. The training was completely closed in the private gymnasium in Liwan District, Guangzhou. If calculated based on the hard work of sweating, the sweat Chen Kangjie shed every day had to be measured by kilograms. From the fact that he scrapped a pair of top sports shoes in four days, it can be seen how intense his training was.
All of this is not entirely pressured by the coaches. Chen Kangjie also knows that the opponents he faces are all world-class. If he does not keep his previous training results and strives to improve, he may not be sure to guarantee that he will win the championship by then.
It cost such a huge price, and the money was tens of millions of dollars. If I don’t have a gold medal when I come back from Atlanta, I will only judge him, but I will probably find a hole to crawl into it if I don’t say anything.
Either not to do it, you must do your best. This is Chen Kangjie's consistent purpose. The task he set for himself is not only to win gold medals, but more importantly, to tell the whole world that Chinese or Asians have already stood up on the track and field field. The history of Westerners and blacks ruled the track and field field is gone forever.
After learning that Chen Kangjie had obtained the qualification to participate in the Olympics, the whole family supported Chen Kangjie's training, especially Chen Jing, which shows that she could spend the summer vacation in 1996. Except for Chen Qigang, no one cares about how his qualification came about. They also don't understand what conditions can be used to participate in the Olympics. They thought that the state could just be assigned by the state, but they were happy and proud of Chen Kangjie anyway.
Chen Kangjie's answer to Chen Qigang was also very simple. I don't know, this was all arranged by the above help, and Chief Zhao Zhibang also came forward in person.
Chen Kangjie's words are not true, but they are not lies. Anyway, the upper class in China came forward, and Chen Qigang dared not confront Zhao Zhibang. Their status is still a bit big. Even if there is an occasional phone call, it is impossible to talk about these except for work. Zhao Zhibang knows a lot about Chen Kangjie and will not take the initiative to mention things that may cause Chen Kangjie's identity to be speculated.
