The movie Escape from Jue Ming Town is definitely a small cost. All unknown actors are invited, and Liu Yifei has not played a role either.
The whole movie is an unknown third-tier black director from Ghana. Although he is very talented, he is discriminated against in Hollywood.
Because some investment companies in Hollywood believe that black directors are destined to not be able to shoot any very interesting movies. Although the subject matter of this filming was related to black people, at the beginning, Warner Bros. was also preparing to find some famous white directors.
To be honest, this discrimination against some black people is everywhere, and many people don’t even know it themselves, but it is like this in their hearts. Of course, all of this is also for a reason. This nation is not good at creation and likes to plunder. Although it has strong physical fitness, it is difficult to have a strong country.
Even Warner Bros., who had been a slave for twelve years, is the same internally. At the beginning, Su Yi was opposed by many internal voices when he was filming a movie at Warner Bros., which is true for Chinese directors, let alone these black people.
However, Su Yi once told Liu Yifei that the details of this movie are enough to follow the script, and there is no need to have much room for play. And after all, it is not a big investment movie, but a standard suspense plot movie. Just shoot the script intact.
So under Liu Yifei's insistence, Hongxingwu took the pressure from Warner Bros. I almost quarrel with them because of this and invested only 2 million yuan!
Warner Bros. itself wants to turn against each other.
But later, this movie was released in Star Flag Country for Su Yi's sake.
Although there were many differences at the beginning of the shooting.
However, I have to say that there is a good script, which is really not so picky about the director. This movie is all filmed in Ghana, a relatively secluded town.
This is like a film and television base, but in fact it is where Liu Yifei and the others live, and the house is Liu Yifei's neighbor. During the filming of the entire movie, Liu Yifei's house was also filmed.
In addition to the high-definition camera and some director fees, some other actors have very low costs, spending less than $2 million in total. Didn't do much publicity either.
But in fact, there is no need to do any publicity, because this is Su Yi’s part-time job and screenwriter.
His current name is also a golden sign abroad, and many foreign fans are looking forward to the works he has taken.
Especially after he filmed works like "Batman: The Dark Knight", he added a lot of fans.
Movies like superhero are now mainstream, and with those touching plots, it is inevitable that they will be popular.
The poster of escaping from Jueming Town this time was a black man crying. The black man in the poster had panic on his face, and there were many people looking at him coldly in the distance.
Su Yi made a satirical movie when he debuted. His first work, "Parasite", is the fear and worship of the people of Star Flag.
Later, a film was filmed about the abuse of black people by the Star Flag Kingdom centuries ago.
At that time, the trend of parades and riots caused, and blacks opened the era of 0 yuan purchases. The Star Flag Government also began to come forward and reported in the newspaper to clarify that the plots in the movie do exist, but they are all things in the past. Many people do not understand this history. It doesn’t matter, but we will be better for blacks in the future!
Those who make trouble are not for these bullshit promises.
The most important thing is that after printing a lot of money, and after sending it to them, a lot of riots were calmed down.
The theme of the movie shot this time is still related to black people.
If it were director Su Yi, there might be some capital intervention and it might not be released smoothly.
But this time, Su Yi was only a screenwriter and producer. The film only borrowed his fame. Moreover, Su Yi didn't get much money, which made this small-cost movie successfully released in North America. However, the screening rate was not too high, but these were small problems, because the screening rate would be adjusted according to the box office, and cinemas were not charitable, so they would scheduling more films if they made money.
At this time, big black letters on white background appeared on the screen.
"This movie has suspense and horror elements, please choose to watch it with caution."
Due to the principle of grading movies in Star Flag Country, it was explained when the film was first played that the original film was directly introduced to the island, so this paragraph has not been deleted.
This time it was released almost simultaneously around the world, and the island is also one of the first releases.
It is rare for a group of big shots and celebrities in the island entertainment industry to sit in the cinema and wait for the movie to be played.
It is Su Yi who has such energy.
Everyone here also knows that this movie is inseparable from Su Yi. Hongxingwu was once synonymous with Su Yi's back garden.
At that time, domestic entertainment stars and even island stars, knew that Liu Yifei, the delicate little flower, would sooner or later bloom in Su Yi's palm.
What is surprising is that later Liu Yifei left the mainland, and Liu Yifei's mother even moved all the business of Hongxingwu to Xingqi Country. These things were also discovered and a lot of suspicion was discovered.
For example, the breakup broke up because of the split, and Su Yi no longer favored the mother and daughter, which made them unable to survive in the mainland. Unexpectedly, a work that won the Hollywood world was released in a blink of an eye.
And it is still Su Yi's producer and screenwriter.
The audience was quietly waiting for the plot to unfold. The filming at the beginning made people feel a little drowsy, after all, the plot also needs to be laid.
This movie does not look like a professional film at the beginning, but rather like it is recorded in daily life.
The black man had a white girlfriend, but in his daily life he encountered many unexpected discrimination.
For example, when there is a car accident, the black man, who is the co-pilot, will be interrogated by the police, and even put on a humiliating look to submit his ID. It is under the strength of his girlfriend that it ends. This seemingly interrogative inquiry, the suspicion and defense in his eyes will make people feel stinging.
But is it still the old trick of whites discriminating against blacks?
At this time, the audience was a little confused. They did not reject this kind of movie, but they did not want to see the old routine. They watched too many such movies.
After the 12th Year of Slave airing, the public's reaction was very strong, and many directors also shot similar movies.
I have to say that these Hollywood directors are still very imaginative. Knowing that this kind of subject is very popular, many movies about discrimination against black people have been filmed.
However, after so many years of filming, the audience's aesthetic taste has become a little boring, and they don't have high expectations for the plot. I don't know why Su Yi wants to rehearse. "The plot looks a bit old-fashioned. If you still want to rely on such a plot to attract audiences, the box office this time will probably not be too high."
Someone has whispered in the cinema, because after all, they are all professionals, and they are all here to pick on them. Basically, everyone knows that the director this time is not Su Yi, but this work has also been summarized into Su Yi's collection of works. "I think so. The twelve years of being a slave in the previous filming are enough."
There are two actors who seem to be whispering, but in fact the voice is quite loud.
The people in the front row could hear it clearly. In fact, the purpose was very simple, and they were targeting Su Yi.
Some people still don't want to see Su Yi's majestic appearance, and even hope that this movie will receive very bad reviews, which will make Su Yi, the number one director at the box office, fall from the altar.
However, the plot quickly slapped them in the face.
The plot of everything looks very strange. When he arrived at his girlfriend's home, whether it was a servant or a gardener, his white girlfriend's family was very friendly to him, but he revealed a strangeness from his bones.
This kind of look is not like the look of looking at the daughter’s boyfriend, but rather looking at animals - yes, it is animals that can bring value to them!
For example, a good breed of pet dog will be sold for a good price, or a strong cow, which will also bring them a good taste...
This look makes people chill. Ang Lee frowned from the beginning to a smile on the corner of his mouth now.
He seemed to have understood the next plot.
Most of the productions of small-cost and large-scale productions are feature films, which is almost recognized by the film industry.
The most important thing about this is the early preparation. Every time the audience thinks that they guess the plot, they keep reversing.
As the plot deepened, especially after the black guy was hypnotized by his girlfriend's mother, many people had already penetrated into the plot.
"This should be a dream of a black guy, or something that is impossible to happen at all. It should also reflect reality. In real life, there are white people who marry black people, but the proportion is very small. This girl is beautiful, has a good figure, and has a good family background. Her parents live in big houses in a small town. People who know people are also well-known figures, how could they allow women to marry a black man?"
"I guess it wasn't sold him as a slave. If so, it would be a bit nonsense."
After hearing these words, Ang Lee frowned and looked back, talking to two young actors.
They all had sarcastic smiles on their faces. Even though the cinema was a little dark, Ang Lee still saw it clearly.
Some young actors on the island are now famous for their Black Continent.
After all, this is also supported by some forces.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
And the most important thing is that anyone who can gain the upper hand in front of Su Yi now is afraid that he can become the number one person on the island!
However, before Ang Lee could scold him, the plot began to slap in the face.
The same goes for a friend of the male protagonist in the play, saying that some black people became special slaves after being hypnotized.
The strange performance of the black actors in the movie and the abnormal eyes of everyone imply that the process of the movie is not that simple.
The whole town is like a net bag, tying the black male protagonist more and more tightly!
Especially the black rich man who accompanied a white woman over 30 years older than him appeared at the dinner.
He rushed up angrily, asking the protagonist to leave here quickly, and then fell into a daze.
It was completely different from when we first met, just like it was schizophrenia.
The same is true for black maids, with the smile on their faces chilling, but they often burst into tears.
Although the actors' acting skills are superb, they make people feel creepy.
…
A movie theater in North America.
"My God! I don't want to watch the next plot anymore. It will definitely be very scary. Didn't I say there was no bloody scene before? But why... the theme of this movie is not cannibalism, right? If so, I will definitely complain about this movie."
A black audience obviously felt discomfort.
Because I felt like I was in the scene, I especially looked at the white girlfriend beside him.
The smile that originally looked very sexy also became a little scared at this moment.
"Dear, don't react so much. This is just a movie."
As usual, the white girlfriend had a sexy smile on her face, and she patted her black boyfriend comfortingly.
The black boyfriend barely smiled, and his heart became more and more endless.
The movie itself is not that magical.
But that feeling of being there makes people feel a little panicked, especially after the heroine's mother hypnotized the black man.
Is it a dream or a reality?
This itself is just a little trick to shoot a movie. Even if you watch it on your own equipment, it may not feel so immersive.
But in the movie, there is a feeling of being there.
And not everyone can tell the difference between the plot of the movie and the reality.
The black audience became more and more uneasy.
In the first half of the play, Su Yi seems to be terrorizing the audience, but at the same time he is also comforting the audience. When the black protagonist is uncomfortable or encounters something strange, his white girlfriend is always gentle to comfort him.
This finally made the audience feel less uncomfortable.
However, when he and his girlfriend were lingering by the lake, the originally romantic lakeside formed a sharp contrast with what happened in the villa.
"Auction!"
Auction is auctioning the black protagonist!
His photos appeared in the yard, and below were the well-known guests just now.
The black man who had recorded his disappearance at the other end of the Law Enforcement Bureau also sat on it, his face looking very calm, and he was completely free from the previous disobedience.
The heroine's father looked serious.
Auction price!
In the end, a blind man won the final victory.
And although the audience is a little worried, they still don’t know what they are auctioning.
After the black protagonist returns to the villa, everyone becomes a ‘devil’.
Especially because of the family's transformation, the white girlfriend was looking for the car keys in a panic the previous second.
The next second, he held the car key expressionlessly. "You know I can't give you car keys!"
The black audience who had just entered the show immediately became cold! (This chapter ends)
