Made in Hollywood

Chapter 508: The Greatness of Father's Love

Although only Duke came to the entire crew, Warner Bros. has attached great importance to this market. Warner Bros.'s branch here also cooperates with China Film Group to promote Hurricane Rescue.

This film does not involve any sensitive issues. Even if it does, it is also about immigration issues in France. The PG-13 rating is enough to ensure that there are no scenes that are too bloody.

Whether it comes from official capital or personal capital, they are all born to pursue profits. Duke has proven with countless facts that his films can bring in revenue beyond imagination. China Film naturally spares no effort in promotion. .

In the final analysis, China Film Group took great pains to invite him here, not for the sake of Sino-US friendship or to extend a hand of friendship. What it wants and thinks is nothing more than maximizing profits.

Of course, in Duke's view, this is a win-win cooperation, otherwise he wouldn't be flying over.

In the past few days of the film festival, reports and advertisements of Hurricane Rescue can be seen everywhere in the major media here.

Duke Rosenberg's films, to a large extent, have made a big step forward in the international promotion of Hollywood commercial films. In the hearts of ordinary Chinese audiences, Duke is the most well-known Hollywood director. Speed ​​of Life, Brave the Dead Island, Saving Private Ryan, The Matrix and The Lord of the Rings trilogy have all been introduced to domestic theaters and are well received by movie fans.

After winning the Oscar for best director, the world's best director of commercial blockbusters has officially landed in China with his latest anti-terror thriller action film Hurricane Rescue. All the elements of the game, the star lineup, the exciting scenes of racing cars, neat action fights, etc., make people look forward to it...

On June 10, 2004, before the sun went down, many fans gathered in front of Shanghai Cinema. These moviegoers are eagerly waiting, waiting to witness the style of Hollywood's top directors.

In addition, many entertainment reporters and people from the film industry also gathered here, such as Jiang Xiaojun and Ge Guangtou who rushed over early in the morning.

It's amazing, it's really amazing.

Standing in the waiting area in front of the studio, Jiang Xiaojun was holding a Beijing movie. He said to Ge Guangtou, This director is not an ordinary person. When I went to the Cannes Film Festival the year before last, he made a film by himself. Just for the screening, he beat the entire Cannes Film Festival to the ground, making the organizers very uncomfortable. No face. It is said that the board of directors of the Cannes Film Festival decided not to invite him to Cannes unless he is officially in competition.”

The world's top grossing box office. Ge Baltou straightened his bow tie and looked at the director who had already stepped onto the red carpet. If the film festival and the Oscars can work behind the scenes, this is a real achievement.

That's right! Jiang Xiaojun raised a thumb, In my opinion, he is the one in commercial movies!

Ge Guangtou lightly nodded his chin, He's playing commercial movies. The box office is the best explanation.

Like in Hollywood, Duke walked the red carpet. The speed is relatively fast. Although there are many fans around him, they are not too enthusiastic. After all, he is not a movie star that attracts the attention of fans. The director here is far from moving to the front desk like the opposite.

Maintaining his usual style, without signing autographs for fans in the past, without posing in the photo zone, Duke quickly walked this long red carpet as the finale of the premiere.

Hurricane Rescue is not a film in the competition unit, and only participates in the screening session. After Duke accepted a routine interview, he walked into the large cinema of the movie city with the people from Warner Bros. The convention here is to simply say a few words on the stage.

The words he said were all formulated by professional public relations personnel from Warner Bros. Greater China, nothing more than to praise the film festival, praise the audience here, and think that the film industry here has a brilliant future.

Then, there is the film screening.

Compared with the long Lord of the Rings trilogy, Hurricane Rescue, which was carefully edited by Duke, is only more than 90 minutes long. Like the original Speed ​​of Life and Death and Brave to the Dead Island, the plot is compact. Fast paced!

Duke did a lot of surgery on the whole film, especially the beginning of the film, on the basis of keeping the original frame of the film.

After the routine opening, there are no long subtitles, the film directly enters the theme, Brian Mills single-handedly rushed into a factory, neatly placed the criminals on the ground, and finally rushed into the office where the leader was. Take away the core layer of the smuggling organization in one pot.

This scene only lasts less than five minutes. Brian's fights are nothing fancy, all in the most deadly way, which easily gives people the feeling that a real fight should be like this.

It's not kung fu. Ge bald head turned to look at Jiang Xiaojun, Isn't that saying that kung fu has become popular in Hollywood recently? It seems to have started after Duke Rosenberg's The Matrix. Why did he give up kung fu?

Who knows. Jiang Xiaojun shrugged and said, He is one of the best directors in the world, at least in business, if he can reach his current position, he should have a very keen grasp of the market. Are kung fu movies going to decline in Hollywood?

Jiang Xiaojun is not only an actor, but also a director. Although for some reason, he can no longer direct films in a short time, his sense of smell is quite sensitive.

The plot of this movie is very simple. Brian completed his last mission and decided to retire early because he wanted to take care of his daughter. During the party with three colleagues and friends, he kept talking about his broken family and his lovely daughter. From the side Come to set off his father's image.

It is no different from a typical Hollywood action movie. After the opening action scene, it is the foreshadowing of the plot. In the way of Brian looking at the photo album, the background of a typical Hollywood hero is clearly explained, just like all heroes, There are always injured families behind.

Brian and his ex-wife, Brian and his daughter, are not very harmonious, but these can't stop a father's love, which is one of the greatest feelings in the world, vulgar but can easily move people's hearts.

Moreover, the relationship between his occupations, Brian is very aware of the dark side of this world. Having a daughter who lacks social experience and is beautiful enough is destined to be an inescapable responsibility for his father.

As a result, the daughter made a series of small moves and ran to France to travel, but she and her companions became the target of kidnapping by gangsters. The father, who only had 96 hours of rescue time, was about to sweep Paris like a hurricane.

The so-called no hatred is not a father and a son can also be applied to the father and daughter. In order to satisfy her and her partner's dream of going to Europe to follow the U2 band's tour, the daughter did not hesitate to deceive her father with lies such as going to Paris to see a museum.

And that female companion is also extremely unreliable. As soon as he arrived at the French airport, he was attracted by the handsome young man of the human trafficker. Not only did he take a taxi with him to his place of residence, but he also fantasized about sleeping with this handsome man who claimed to be Pete, and tried his best to persuade him to be a virgin. His daughter also took the opportunity to romance in France to complete the evolution of her life.

As a result, after less than half an hour of fantasizing, he was kidnapped by the person who was recruited by this handsome young man.

Because this female companion was not a virgin, she did not have the value of being sold to a wealthy businessman at a high price. As a result, she was injected with drugs and attempted to be sent to the **. During the accident, she died of an overdose of drugs, which is also embarrassing.

Young people are full of endless fantasies about the world, including romance and anticipation of encounters, but they don't know the dangers of this world.

At this time, a father who deeply loves his daughter and has a special experience, a man who is full of anger and wants to rescue his beloved, no matter what choice he makes, it will not be too disgusting from the audience.

On the contrary, family love is more touching than love, and it is a value promoted by the whole world. The greatness of father's love is vividly reflected in Brian, and it can easily infect many people.

Maybe a quick-moving, sturdy actor would have made the movie good, but Liam Neeson gave the father, who could do anything to save his daughter, an epic hero version.

He is tall but agile, courteous but full of energy. When he saw his daughter's friend died in the cell, his suppressed emotions exploded. The scene of torture and interrogation of the Albanian was so handsome that the steel nails were fierce. The moment he pierced the other's thigh, he believed that he was more invested in the emotion of being a father to avenge his daughter, rather than the agent who caught the criminal.

So, a former American agent, an old-fashioned father, and a murderer like cutting vegetables, in order to prevent his daughter who was captured by human traffickers from being turned into a gangster, he killed all the way from the United States to Paris. kill.

In order to save his daughter, a father can do whatever it takes!

This is a very traditional Hollywood action movie, but Bryan is not indistinguishable from traditional Hollywood heroes.

Duke's films have never lacked a sense of substitution, and the whole plot is very easy to make the audience feel that if their relatives are kidnapped and sold by gangsters, if they have enough ability, they will be angry. Won't make the same choice as Brian?

In fact, the answer is very obvious. This is a world where blood is always thicker than water.

When Brian launched his bloody revenge, none of those human traffickers who deserved to go to hell would be forgiven! Bang bang bang, kill kill kill!

Many viewers couldn't help but think, if everyone had such a father, how harmonious and peaceful this society would be!

Hey, Xiaojun.

Ge Guangtou suddenly said to Jiang Xiaojun, You should let your daughter take a good look at this film!

Thinking of his naughty and mischievous daughter who specializes in being right with others, Jiang Xiaojun nodded, I should really let her see it. (To be continued ~^~)
