The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

The incident that happened in the Viper House that night became the focus of news that the American media frantically pursued. The news station even obtained the recording of Erica’s 911 emergency call, and countless so-called insiders jumped out for interviews. Restore the minutiae of the night.

However, the two most important people involved in this matter, River Phoenix and Erica Parker, did not accept any media interviews. The filming of "The Story of Gan Zheng".

The filming of "Forrest Gump" was completed in mid-December, and Erica hardly had any rest time before starting the promotion of the premiere of "The Truman Show" and the public relations operation of the upcoming awards season.

It is not an easy task to be a judge of legal public relations in the awards season, and the cost is even more expensive-the screening cost, advertising placement, marketing, public relations lobbying and other ways cost up to millions of dollars.

As the producer of "The Truman Show", Erica's luck this year is still not very good. In the awards season, he will compete with "Schindler's List", and the popularity of this historical film is so high. , I am afraid it will overshadow all other works.

For this reason, Erica had to use the public relations lobbying operation of the important awards of "The Truman Show" to only focus on the best actress and best original screenplay.

On December 1993, 12, "The Truman Show" was officially released, and nearly 24 theaters across the United States were screened simultaneously. Erica's box office appeal once again bought an amazing first-week attendance rate for the film. As far as literary films are concerned, they are extremely rare.

——"If I never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon and good night."

In the theater screening hall, the audience looked at the beautiful and friendly young girl on the screen, "Erica looks like a different person."

"Of course, I mean, of course she's still beautiful, but why does she look very real and familiar, like someone who lives next to me."

The film critics were very pleasantly surprised, "Her previous performances were always glamorous, but now she shows a calm and solid charm, and she is sincere and restrained."

The bizarre plot of "The Truman Show" can be called fascinating-Nancy Truman is suspicious of the world around her and tries to escape from this sea-view town.

And when she disappeared in front of the surveillance cameras, all the residents of the town joined the team to arrest her, and the moon in the night sky became a searchlight for her whereabouts. Everything was so terrifying and absurd.

"Two for one, I bet she can't escape." In the bar, people watched "The Truman Show" and gathered together to discuss Nancy Truman, who sailed on the sea with sails raised.

Erika's figure appeared on the screen. She was looking at the sea, showing a smile that she couldn't help yearning for freedom. That kind of sincerity and touching made people smile knowingly.But then, people realized that she was in danger.

In the monitoring room of "The Truman Show", in order to force her to return to Haijing Town, the production team will set off a storm on the sea, "start the wind and wave program, concentrate the storm on the boat, and aim at her."

A violent storm rolled up on the sea, and the lightning almost hit Nancy Truman's boat. On the screen, Erica's body was hit back and forth by the storm. She tried her best to stabilize the boat, and every second seemed to be buried in the lightning and the storm.

On the screen, the storm was so strong that it seemed to overturn the ship. Erica was holding on to the mast, and her body already had obvious impact injuries. She shouted, "What else do you have? If you want to stop me, you can only kill me." me!"

"Strengthen the wind," Christopher ordered to his subordinates, "to overturn her and blow her into the sea."

Everyone in the monitoring room objected, "She tied herself to the hull—"

Christopher suddenly pressed the strongest storm mode, the hurricane surged and hit, the ship was completely overturned, Erica sank into the sea, with several scars on her face, her eyes were closed, as if she had died .

And when the storm ended and the sailboat turned around, her body tied to the hull was gradually brought out of the sea.

In the theater, everyone held their breath until she opened her eyes again—Erica's face was pale, her body was trembling, but she staggered to raise the sail again, and the audience cheered excitedly and applauded loudly, "bravo!"

But this excitement did not last long. The boat driven by Nancy Truman crashed into the "blue sky and white clouds" at the end of the sea. In the theater, everyone and Truman discovered at the same time that the endless sea and sky turned out to be a studio a part of!

"Truman—" In the sky, like the miracle of Jesus Christ, the voice of the producer Christopher came, "Listen to my advice, the outside world is as false as the world I gave you."

Even so, she still chooses the road of freedom.

Nancy Truman looked at the camera in the air, showing a real and friendly smile, "If I can't see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon and good night."

Standing in front of the door leaving the studio, she made a curtsy closing ceremony like a mime actor, and then turned and left resolutely.

At this moment, audiences all over the world watching the soap opera "The Truman Show" cheered and shed tears in front of the TV, as if they felt the same for her emotion and life.

And just a moment later, the audience in front of the TV began to discuss calmly, "What else is there? Change the channel to see what else is there?"

This is where the film comes to an abrupt end.
