Wait, why are there two empty seats? Nicole Kidman doesn't seem to be here either? She frowned.
Soon, the movie room was almost full, and some actors who were in a critical period of their careers were a little nervous. This is especially true for the male protagonist Caviezel. For the first time, he was responsible for the 70 million major production male protagonists adapted from such a best-selling book. The movie was too important to his career when he was 30 years old. After he was seated, he held his chin with his hand, and from time to time secretly observed the faces of Yeremov and others in the front row. The walking and coughing of other people attracted him. Looking at the past eyes.
Jennifer Connery and Xue Linfen saw him as a startled rookie. They both came here like this, and the two women looked at each other and smiled heartily.
"Please be quiet."
The staff of Bowei Pictures asked to close the door and pressed the red indicator light outside the door.
"Wait a little longer." The executive vice president of Bowei Pictures looked at the two seats that were still vacant and ordered.
Yeremov and Daniel looked at their watch impatiently at the same time.
That shouldn't be waiting for him, indeed, there are many people on this occasion today, and it is not convenient for him to show up. Jennifer Connelly observed the behavior of the two and thought.
Sure enough, there was a commotion outside the door, "Sorry...hey, hello, hello..." Superstar Liang Tang Chunfeng entered the door with a smile and greeted the familiar actor nearby. His wife Nicole Kidman was holding his arms and standing tall. The difference is obvious.
"Tom, Nicole, welcome." The executive vice president of Bowei Pictures got up to welcome the couple of Hollywood's top celebrities.
Liang Tang is a powerful Hollywood figure who can lead hundreds of millions of big productions. Many actors stood up and shook hands with him one by one, "I'm not late, am I?" The two arrived with time. Liang Tang asked his teacher Tony Scott and others. High-level.
"Very punctual, please take a seat." The executive vice president of Bowei Pictures personally led the two to the seats.
Nicole Kidman smiled and sat down before looking back, and turned away when he touched Jennifer Connelly's eyes.
"Hello, Tom." Yeremov reached and shook hands with Liangtang, but Daniel and Charles Fraser, who had had a holiday with him, chose to ignore them.
"Hello there."
After Liangtang and Yeremov shook hands and ignored the two, they sat down to tidy up their suits, and the executive vice president of Bowei Pictures signaled to the staff that they could start.
The door was closed, the lighting went out, and the viewing room was immediately dimmed.
very quiet.
The simple logo of A+ Film Studio appeared on the screen, followed by Touchstone Pictures, Glass Pictures and Bowei Pictures.
Accompanied by the melodious soundtrack, the waves of light on the lake and the subtitles produced by A+ Film Studio, Touchstone Films, Glass Films, and Bowei Pictures, Nicole Kidman’s narration sounded. paragraph.
Nicole's skills are very good, and a restrained recollection text reads a touch of sadness and feelings for the male protagonist.
His debut work was put on the big screen, Charles Fraser suppressed his excitement, he turned his head in the darkness to secretly observe the goddess not far away.
Nicole Kidman watched with all his attention, but his husband Liangtang felt it, and looked back sternly, Charles Fraser guilty of avoiding the other's eyes.
In the beautiful voice of Nicole's narration, the plot comes directly to the famous Second Petersburg Battle in the later period of the Civil War.
In 1864, the Northern Army besieged the southern fortress of Petersburg for ten months. The battle was very tragic. The Northern Army suffered 42,000 casualties and the Southern Army suffered 28,000 casualties. The beginning of the war was very beneficial to the Northern Army. The 48th Pennsylvania Army, composed of coal miners, quietly dug a 500-foot tunnel underground in the center of the Southern Army’s defense line, buried 8,000 pounds of explosives, and directly blasted the Southern Army’s core defense line into the sky, creating a tunnel. Big gap.
But unfortunately, due to poor planning and extremely unreliable commanders, 20,000 Yankees took advantage of the momentum to initiate Renhai Charge and plunged into an explosion that was more than 70 meters long, more than 20 meters wide, and more than 10 meters deep. In the pit, the soldiers in front couldn't climb up, and the soldiers behind were squeezing forward without knowing the situation. As a result, they were surrounded by the reacting southern army like pigs in the pigpen, and they shot the target condescendingly.
This war scene was mainly filmed in Ireland. The Hollywood war scene skills trained by the brave heart, rescue soldier Ryan and the local group performers are all very professional. The Irish government also sent some active military personnel to support the filming. The visual spectacle of the big explosion, the rain of guns and bullets, the flying flesh and blood, and the special effects of the clothing on the body being instantly scorched by the high temperature shock wave are perfectly presented.
If Song Ya is present, you will see that this scene is much more exciting and grander than the original film of Apocalypse.
This version is also very consistent with historical facts, such as the Indian comrades around the hero.
Due to the rapid development of the emerging bourgeoisie in the north, a large amount of demand for raw materials, land and personnel has been generated. This will inevitably lead to conflicts with the Indians due to the scope of the territory and the distribution of resources. The Lincoln of "liberating the blacks" is the Westward Movement. Supporters of the United States, the Homestead Law of 1862 stipulates: Any U.S. citizen who has reached 21 years of age, or a young European man who meets the naturalization requirements, can receive no more than one hundred dollars for free or pay a ten-dollar registration fee. Sixty acres of state-owned land in the western part of the country are used as an allotment.
Of course, those lands in the west need to be seized from Indian tribes. In the same year of the Second Petersburg Campaign, there was also a massacre against Indians such as the Shaxi Massacre.
Since the south is dominated by the agricultural economy, the economic structure develops slowly, and there are fewer conflicts of interest with the Indians. The two sides can basically be in peace for a long time. Therefore, many Indian tribes chose to join the Southern Army. They and the Southern government A series of agreements were reached on preserving the place of residence and obtaining citizenship after the war.
There are also blacks. Because the southern manor has a large number of black slaves who are personally dependent, there are also a lot of blacks in the southern army, mainly doing some dirty logistical work.
Charles Frazier, as a new era writer who emerged after the hippie movement, compared to Piao Piao, Leng Shan described all aspects of these history more objectively, had a more equal perspective on all ethnic groups, and his characters were relatively less facial.
The only protagonist in this drama is the southern soldier Inman played by Caviezel. Caviezel looked at himself on the big screen with brilliant eyes. After years of hard work in Hollywood, he finally has a chance to become a big hit. Began to wet.
And the worried director Tony Scott is quite satisfied with this. He has learned what APLUS has led to the changes. Since most of the exposed scenes and empty shots of APLUS need to be increased rather than decreased, the total duration is not much. , His old friend Chris Lebenson basically still carried out his will with the power of the editor.
Bowei also agreed to relax the length of the whole film because APLUS increased the length of time, increasing it to two hours and forty-two minutes. In fact, after subtracting the part of APLUS, it is actually a little profitable in total. .
