Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 305 Chapter 305: Cannes Premiere

Shan He looked at this serious middle-aged man and felt a surge in his heart. It turned out that I was already standing so high!

I became the mascot of China’s rejuvenation!

Maybe that's true. China's five thousand years of history have created its own rebirth, and I am here to witness this process!

"Thank you for your concern, leaders! Since I can't leave the capital, please ask Comrade Liu to help me donate supplies to the disaster area!"

Yang Liu on the side spoke, "Shanhe, I will go to the disaster area for you. Sister Zhong is here in the company. I can go easily. I can deliver the supplies to the compatriots on your behalf!"

Shanhe turned to look at Yangliu and said in reply: "No, it's not your turn to go on my behalf!"

"What? I'm not Chinese!" Yang Liu stared at Shanhe and replied, "Shanhe, I've been following you for eight years. I understand what you are thinking now, and I also hope that I can do something. You know, your father We have already set off from Magic City with supplies. On behalf of you and all the employees of Chuhe Film and Television Group, I will go to the disaster area. I must do this!"

Zhong Lifeng hugged Yang Liu and said: "Let her go, I will arrange for someone to protect her. Yang Liu is right, she is the most suitable to go to the disaster area on behalf of you and Chuhe Film and Television Group to do her best. Our follow-up supplies will continue to flow. Send it to the disaster area, I promise!"

Shan He looked at the two determined female generals and nodded slowly, "Keep it safe!"

In the afternoon of the same day, the convoy set off from Chuhe Film and Television in the capital and headed for the disaster area. It included more than a dozen volunteers selected from the employees of Chuhe Film and Television who actively signed up. They held red flags and rushed to the front line of disaster relief.

Shanhe looked at the leaving shadow of the convoy, his eyes turned red.

Kang Zhixuan, who was following beside her, also had red eyes. She was moved and said to Shanhe: "I know why my parents always have a hard time forgetting China, because there is a shocking feeling in your blood!"

"Zhixuan, you are wrong, it's not you, it's us!"

"Yes, you are right, it's us! I'm proud of it!"

Chuhe Film and Television's rush to the disaster relief was like opening a hole. Major companies in the capital followed suit. Within two days, rescue convoys of various sizes set off to the southwest in an endless stream.

CCTV News reported this spontaneous act of charity by the people.

Chuhe Film and Television has gained national recognition as a leader.

Celebrities across the country are supporting the disaster area, but Shanhe has not made any words or statements. He has been doing his work silently.

On May 15th, the Cannes Film Festival kicked off, and "Dallas Buyers Club" premiered in Cannes as the opening film.

Almost all the main creators arrived in Cannes, but the most important screenwriter and director were missing. Shanhe was absent from this world-famous premiere.

"Dallas Buyers Club" was already famous all over the world. The novel's global sales exceeded 38 million copies within six months, creating a ceiling for realistic novels that is difficult to surpass.

The whole world has been touched by the characters of Ron and Raymond in the book. These two characters have become fighters and representatives of kindness. It can be said that this book has changed people's understanding of medical rights.

Changes in people's demands for medical rights have made governments around the world realize that the medical system needs to be improved. Shanhe, to a certain extent, changed the world with a novel.

It is precisely because of this that the film adaptation of the same name directed by Shanhe himself has attracted global attention. At this time, the premiere of the Cannes Film Festival attracted media reporters from all over the world to report.

Both Disney and the Cannes Film Festival gave Shanhe face. There was no red carpet for the entire premiere, and almost all posters and decorations were changed to black and white.

Each of the main creators expressed condolences and sympathy for China during interviews. Three of the film's leading actors publicly donated money to the disaster-stricken areas in China at the premiere.

"I am very sad about the disaster that happened in China. Disasters always bring pain to people. I believe that Qiu is in grief at this moment. It was through Qiu that I learned about China. I followed Qiu to the Magic City and stayed in his country. I am a guest at home, and Chinese people are as kind and enthusiastic as Qiu’s family. I hope the pain caused by the disaster will pass soon. After the Cannes Film Festival, I will go to China to visit my close friends..." Heath Ledger said Very sincere.

"No one wants a disaster to happen. Life is always the most precious. I hope that China can recover from the disaster as soon as possible. I feel sad for the compatriots in Qiu. I hope that what I do can bring them some Help..." Leonardo also expressed his concern with a heavy face.

"I have never been to China, and I don't know many Chinese people, but I can see their kindness and enthusiasm from Qiu. These disasters should not befall them. I will pray for Qiu's compatriots..." Winslet even had red eyes when facing reporters.

Bruckheimer made a speech for Shanhe on the stage of the film's premiere: "I spoke with Qiu yesterday on the phone. Qiu did not give any explanation for his absence, and no explanation was needed. We can all feel his sadness. , he never hides his love for the motherland, he always cares about every ordinary person.

I have known Qiu for almost ten years. He is a genius and a person destined for greatness. Since I met him, he has experienced a blockbuster, started from scratch, and become famous all over the world. He has transformed from an ordinary Chinese boy into a magician. But he has never changed and always treats others and the world with kindness. This may be the secret of his success.

Here I want to tell Qiu: My friend, the world and others will also repay you and your compatriots with kindness. Before the film is shown, let us observe a minute of silence for the victims of the disaster in China! "

After the audience observed a moment of silence, the movie began to show.

Everyone in the audience knows Ron's story clearly through the novel, but the film still brings them into the plot.

When Leonardo, who was thin and out of shape, appeared on the big screen, the audience couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

The outstanding performances of the three actors made the audience's emotions rise and fall as the movie played.

Starting from the joy brought by Ron's chaotic life, to the despair of being diagnosed, to the dramatic change of fate.

The first half of the movie allows the audience to follow the performances of Leonardo and Heath Ledger, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad,

Especially the part where the protagonist changes his destiny and finds hope from despair. The dramatic smuggling of drugs becomes Ron's career. The rapid editing of mountains and rivers, coupled with the passion of rock music, allows the audience to fully experience Ron's fate. .

Leonardo and Heath Ledger fully demonstrated the helplessness of terminally ill AIDS patients wandering back and forth between despair and hope.

The movie even makes their drug-buying business look somewhat joyful, but the audience can feel the sadness beneath this joy.

The audience may have smiles on their faces, but their hearts are complicated.

It’s very addictive to use comedy to show tragedy. The performances of Heath Ledger and Leonardo in this section are phenomenal. Two parallel lines that seem to never intersect become interdependent in the end.

This kind of accumulated emotion, swinging back and forth between despair and hope, makes people envious but sad at the same time.

Raymond died, and the entire audience knew that this was his end, but they were still sad.

This man who wears women's clothes, has charming eyes, and looks like an effeminate man has too many non-mainstream things about him, including homosexuality, transvestite, and drug addict.

But he does not lack everything that normal people have, such as desires, emotions, joys and sorrows. He is even more touching than ordinary people because he has a sensitive and kind heart!

The audience in the audience looked at Ron's anger and despair on the screen, and all the sadness and emotion in their hearts turned into tears.

Ron in the movie has completely changed. Buying medicine is no longer his career, and safeguarding the dignity and rights of life has become his obsession.

He becomes a fighter, a quixotic knight who attacks unjust laws and an indifferent class.

The audience watched Ron dragging the infusion cart on the screen and shouting loudly at the pharmaceutical manufacturer's press conference; watched him walk to the court with a haggard look; watched him accept the sentencing with a numb expression.

Anger and sadness suddenly came to my heart, why can't we get what we deserve in this damn world!

At the end of the movie, Ron returned to the club depressed. As soon as the door opened, the room was filled with AIDS patients, and they all applauded this warrior's feat.

Ron's eyes quickly changed from numbness to surprise, surprise to relief, and finally relief.

So he rides the crazy bull again with HIV, his life is endless and his fight is endless!

The movie ends with Ron riding a bull between the railings.

"Beautiful Now", written by Shanhe himself, was sung roaringly with bass accompaniment!

No one in the audience stood up. It was not until the music ended that all the audience stood up and applauded one after another. The applause got louder and louder and never stopped.

There were also some roars of protest from time to time.

The applause lasted for seven or eight minutes before slowly stopping.

Leonardo and Winslet hugged each other in the audience, but Heath Ledger was lost in his thoughts.

My friend Raymond wins everyone’s applause, I hope you recover from your grief soon!

The next day, various Western media spoke highly of "Dallas Buyers Club".

The Cannes screening reached a record score of 3.4 points, with five top film critics giving it a perfect masterpiece rating.

""Dallas Buyers Club" is a masterpiece. Even without the addition of Hua Guoqiu's novel, it can still win everyone's applause. Hua Guoqiu seems to control the rhythm of the movie at his fingertips, and you can't help but follow it. His movements are ups and downs, sadness and happiness are sometimes so close..." - French "Le Figaro"

"I think most people have read Hua Guoqiu's novel, but you can expect more from the movie. Leonardo and Heath Ledger made the actors who came to Cannes full of despair. It was a phenomenon. With a top-notch performance, the Cannes Best Actor has no suspense anymore, no one will deny this..." - "The New York Times"

"The whole movie is straightforward, but it makes people feel like they are in a storm. Joy, sadness, anger, and helplessness are all emotions that will make you unable to extricate yourself. Hua Guoqiu uses a novel to make the whole world restless, and then he will also use a novel to make the whole world restless. The movie made the world clamor again..." - "Los Angeles Post"

"The highest-level tragedies are hidden in comedies. In his fourth film, Hua Guoqiu showed a director's talent that is no less than that of a writer. From makeup photography to rhythm control, to the actors' perfect interpretation, I am in There is nothing to criticize in this film..." - "Berlin Voice"

"Hua Guoqiu's style has been formed. His movies will never be boring. Even if they are telling a cruel reality with a helpless ending, they are still full of fun. The Chinese have a very beautiful word to express this state." "Everyone will be satisfied with it, no matter what you want to see in the movie..." - "Journal of Rome"

The next day, "Dallas Buyers Club" was released in the global film market except China.

Theaters around the world were immediately packed with book and movie fans. This is the advantage of adapting the novel of the same name.

There is almost no need to do too much publicity. The public's expectations for "Dallas Buyers Club", coupled with the appeal of Shanhe and Leonardo, the film's first week box office is sufficiently guaranteed.

Disney Pictures' box office expectations for the film are US$200 million in North America and US$400 million worldwide.

Leonardo was even a little uneasy because the box office expectations were so good. Those damn old guys from the academy wouldn’t deprive me of my Oscar statuette again just because the movie’s box office was so good, right?

Everything was as expected by Disney Pictures, and "Dallas Buyers Club" triggered a movie-watching craze of varying degrees in countries around the world.

Especially in North America and Europe, theaters have been unable to get tickets, and the audience's feedback has been excellent.

Almost every audience member walked out of the theater with emotions, either sad or angry!

The comments on the Internet are even denser.

"After watching the movie, I immediately had the urge to go to the streets and scream. It's so sad and infuriating!"

"I even think the movie is more touching than the novel. Hua Guoqiu tells the story so perfectly. Joy, sadness, helplessness, and anger are all present in this movie!"

"Leonardo and Heath Ledger did a great job. Their dedication to their roles is really admirable. Both of them are too thin. The Academy should give them a statuette. They deserve it!"

"The two actors are so amazing, especially Heath Ledger. The Joker and Raymond are two completely opposite characters, but he can actually play them superbly. It's incredible!"

"Hua Guoqiu was absent from the Cannes Film Festival, and a disaster occurred in China. He is a great writer and director. I can always feel his compassion and compassion from his novels and movies. I want to pray for Hua Guoqiu and the Chinese people, May they be free from suffering and sorrow as soon as possible!"

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes on the Internet has created the history of the website. The audience’s freshness is 99%, and the film critics’ freshness is 95%!

The first-day box office in North America exceeded 30 million US dollars, reaching 31.3 million US dollars, and the total box office in European countries was also close to 30 million US dollars, reaching 28.9 million US dollars.

In Europe and the United States alone, the box office of "Dallas Buyers Club" exceeded 60 million US dollars on its first day, and its reputation is excellent!

The entire Disney studio was in jubilation, and the creative team in Cannes even hugged each other to celebrate.

On the contrary, the creative team of "No Man's Land" in Cannes fell into silence and sadness.

Ning Hao and his wife came with excitement and expectations. However, within two days, bad news came from the country, and they instantly lost all expectations.

The trip to Cannes these days has turned into a torment, and they can only learn about everything in the country through the Internet and mobile phones.

Seeing the shocking reports on the Internet, the eyes of the entire team were red, and the girls covered their faces and cried.

Watching your compatriots suffer in a foreign country will make your sadness magnified several times.

We should be with them!

This is something that all Chinese people will spontaneously think of.

"Old Ning, why don't we go back to China? It's really hard for me to stay here and watch my compatriots suffer! Even if I can't do anything, I can always accompany them!" Xing Aina said to Ning Hao with red eyes.

Ning Hao looked at his wife seriously, "Our mission is to promote the movie and win honors for Chinese-language movies. Returning to China at this time is nothing. Shanhe wants to bring supplies to the disaster area, but they are all blocked. At this time, do your own thing. It’s the biggest responsibility!”

"As long as you are here to fight for honor, I want to return to China. I really can't stand it anymore! I want to go back and be with them!" Xing Aina said firmly while looking at her husband.

Ning Hao looked at the three women with swollen eyes in the team and was silent for a long time. "Okay then, you guys will go back to China first, but Xiao Wu has to stay. You are the translator and you have to complete your work!"

"I know! I won't let go!"

On May 15th, Cannes local time, "No Man's Land" premiered in Cannes.

The entire premiere was a bit deserted, with no local accent from domestic reporters and only a few French reporters silently taking photos.

Ning Hao walked into the Cannes Film Palace, which he had been looking forward to. He felt desolate in his heart. Cannes would not be his lucky place. This film festival was too painful!

An elder in the family has passed away, so there should be less time for coding these two days!
