I want to make headlines

Chapter 491
"Life of Pi", this film is categorized as drama/adventure/disaster in Hollywood. The promotion adopted in North America is not as prominent as Forrest Gump in China. On the contrary, the promotion in Europe focuses on Cannes Starring the actor.

But a good work is a good work. Director Ang Lee's skills and Gan Jing's wonderful performance have still gained a good reputation.

The famous American film review website, Rotten Tomatoes, scored 8.4 points for "Life of Pi", and 94% of the audience expressed their liking.

The famous American film review website, IMDB, has a higher score of 8.7 points!
Although these scores will drop accordingly in the later stages of the film's release, it is enough to show that this film is not only well received and popular in China.

Looking at these statistics alone, it can already be proved that Gan Jing's film has once again killed both Chinese and Western movie fans.

——The brightly visible picture and the intoxicating soundtrack almost capture all the joy of nature.

——This wonderful language story has an unexpected ending.This is a bold and brilliant work.

——Certain scenes in the film can be said to be the best of the year, and Forrest Gump's last scene can be said to be the best of his works ever.

—Ang Lee creates an adult adventure, not because of the eroticism or violence of the film, but under the cover of an immersive and riveting fantasy story about Deep themes of spirituality and self-knowledge.

The American audience gave a lot of comments on the website, and there were also many discussions about the plot. Compared with Huaxia's indifference to religion, people here value this more.

They not only appreciated Forrest Gump's performance, but also discussed the charm of it.

"I think the last shot of Forrest Gump is really shocking. His eyes make me feel that it is detached, that is a perspective that transcends the three-dimensional level."

"I liked Forrest Gump's performance before, and this shot was amazing. But I still think his shot somewhat undermines the meaning that Director Ang Lee wants to express."

"Forrest Gump can switch to acting in religious films, the expression and eyes are very surprising to me, well, he can also consider horror films. Imagine this scene. You come home at night, just opened the door and turned on the lights, Forrest Gump Just standing in front of you, looking at you that way. Oh my God, God bless!"

Many of the audience's heated discussions were captured by the domestic media. They not only lamented the popularity of Forrest Gump in the United States, but also took pleasure in translating foreign languages ​​for domestic audiences. At this time, there is a kind of our Huaxia also has a sense of honor as a world-class actor.

Just after China's box office figures for the first week came out, box office statistics for North America and Europe were also released.

The box office in North America was 2856 million U.S. dollars in the first week, ranking second in the week; the box office in Europe was 1250 million U.S. dollars in the first week, and the theater chain increased the number of films.

The box office of movies released abroad is generally not too bad, and the release time will be longer than that in China. The release time of the movie Youth Pi in China was 5 weeks, which is almost more than a month.

But aside from these things, the box office in the first week of the world is more than 8000 million. This figure is already very satisfactory to [-]th Century Fox and Warner.

There is no doubt that this film will be a profitable business, it only depends on how much you earn.

At the same time, for a film that is aiming for awards, the phenomenon of high box office will attract the attention of Oscar.

"Fantasy Drifting of Boy Pi" is not like other commercial films. Ang Lee has something he wants to express in it, and it will not produce the situation that the higher the box office of some commercial films, the less pleasing they are.

After the box office came out in the first week, Gan Jingyou received a call from Ang Lee. From the voice, he felt that the great director had become more confident. I don't know if it was simply because of the box office, or because of Fox's new commitment.

Gan Jing's mentality is relatively calm. He was only happy for a while when he first heard about the box office, and then he paid more attention to the industry's evaluation. After all, he has a different focus on this film.

"The New York Post just declared Pi the best movie of the year, hey, not even one. That's a shame."

"The "People's Daily" even reported it, saying that the pictures are beautiful and the story is incredible. Tsk, it also said that believing in the first story is to believe in God more, and the second story is to return people to the cruel reality. Strange Shouldn’t the People’s Daily insist that materialism is unwavering?”

Zhou Dongyu was holding the mobile phone in A-Gump's office, ignoring A-Gump who had been pressing his temples, and read out the evaluation content he saw word by word.

Gan Jing was a little helpless, but he really listened to these comments: "If you don't go to publicize "Zodiac", why are you here to make trouble?"

It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Zhou Dongyu was a little dissatisfied: "We were almost running away. As a result, when Huayi saw that two of your films were released, they immediately postponed the release. Why are you running away! Everyone is staring at your box office now! Fortunately, your results are good, otherwise it would be a shame."

The girl gritted her teeth for a while, and was happy for a while.

Gan Jing saw it funny, shook his head and said: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, as long as you don't lose money. I can't always be number one. I don't think this film of Youth School will surpass that of Lost in Thailand this year." gone."

This year, a domestic film released "Lost in Thailand", starring Xu Zheng, Wang Baojun, and Huang Po. It continued the reputation of the previous work, with a box office of 12.6 billion, making it the most shining film this year. video.

The current box office trend of Youth Pi really cannot reach this level.

After hearing this, Zhou Dongyu said unconvinced: "There is still a global box office! Now the global box office has 5 million Huaxia coins, and this is only the first week. If you can fulfill your previous expectation of 6 million US dollars, That's 36 billion Huaxia coins! It must be more than them."

Gan Jing smiled and said nothing, he didn't have the idea of ​​this kind of confrontation - this is actually a bit of bullying, but the domestic market is getting better and better, domestic films have broken the threshold of 10 billion, which is a good thing.

When he was thinking this way, the phone on the table rang, Zhou Dongyu picked it up quickly, clicked the answer button, and slyly clicked the external voice, and put it in front of Uncle Gan .

Gan Jing curled his lips, so he didn't turn off the external voice.

"Hi, Forrest Gump, hello. I'm the director Spencer. Do you have a schedule? I have a script "Son of God" that is especially suitable for you." A series of English came from the phone.

Son of God?Isn't that Jesus?
Gan Jing was a little stunned, thinking that this might be a reference, such as the God of Gamblers, he asked, "What is the content of the script?"

"It's the story of the life of Jesus," Spencer replied.

Gan Jing couldn't laugh or cry at once: "Are you sure you want me, a Chinese, to play Jesus? Is today April Fool's Day?"

"Really, Forrest Gump, I saw your pie, your acting skills are absolutely suitable, and the role of God will definitely suit you."

"The schedule is over. Goodbye."

Gan Jing hung up the phone without saying a word, this, I'm really not interested, but...has the response to that shot reached this level?

Does this mean that Oscar is expected?
