Chapter 389 Ordinary is the truth


Chapter 389: Plainness is the truth

Blockbusters such as "The Matrix" and the "Lord of the Rings" series use visual spectacles and shocking scenes to attract audiences. "Heartbeat" has more of a narrated feel.

The entire movie proceeds in an unobtrusive way, using a bland perspective to tell the story of the film.

Young viewers who like blockbusters may not be immersed in it and may find it a bit boring to watch, but Powell felt that the film was shot quite well.

Little Gilbert was born in 1970 and had no experience of that era. Perhaps his father had a better idea of ​​what rural American towns were like in the 1950s and 1960s.

In fact, the old man did star in this film, and his name can be seen in the film's credits.

He provided a lot of advice during filming, which helped the crew complete the filming tasks faster and better.

Watching this youthful story, Powell felt quite emotional, and he missed the stories of the past.

After returning to Boston, Powell plans to take his wife to watch the movie again and recall past stories. Maybe I can write another book to record the love stories of the 1950s and 1960s.

Compared to Powell's sentiments, some fans were not so friendly.

Some fans murmured: "This Bryce is really annoying, Julie Baker is so cute and beautiful, much better than that school beauty.

Is he blind? "

"Looking at it this way, Bryce is no different from anyone else, she's just more handsome, but still very superficial. I like Julie Baker, she is brave, strong, and ideal.

The scene of protecting the sycamore tree is really touching. "

Robert Pattinson happened to be located relatively close to the two movie fans who were discussing. Hearing their discussion, his face suddenly turned red.

He didn't want to be like this, but the script arranged for him to act like this.

The story continues to develop, Bryce and Julie both entered middle school, and things changed subtly. Bryce Roski's grandfather Chet Duncan moved in with him.

One day, my grandfather learned about Julie Baker’s deeds in the Mayfield Times and wanted to learn more about Julie Baker from Bryce Rosky.

Under the guidance of his grandfather, Bryce Roski began to rethink his view of Julie Baker.

And after the sycamore tree incident, the egg incident, and the Uncle Daniel incident, he gradually got rid of the prejudice against Julie Baker and her family under the influence of her father and good brothers.

Not only that, he discovered that he fell in love with Julie Baker.

From Julie Baker's perspective, the sycamore tree incident and the egg incident made her increasingly feel that Bryce Roski was not as good as she thought.

She began to reconsider her feelings for Bryce Rosky, and after the incident with Uncle Daniel, she planned to give up this relationship.

The arrangement of this series of stories would be called a clichéd love story ten years later.

But in today's Hollywood environment where movies are everywhere where people go to bed within three minutes of meeting each other, "Heartbeat" is obviously particularly clear and refined.

Powell habitually took out his pen and notebook and wrote down his feelings while watching the movie.

A person next to him saw this and asked: "Sir, are you a film critic?"

"No, it's not." Powell shook the notebook in his hand and said, "I just felt it. I really like the line design in it, which is very philosophical about life."

"Really?" This person was obviously a fan of Little Gilbert's movie. He also said excitedly: "I also think that including "The Return of the King" is really great."

Powell has not seen "The Return of the King", or even the first two films in the "Lord of the Rings" series. He is not the audience for such movies.

But today's exchange with this fan made him a little curious, so he asked: "Is "The Return of the King" still in theaters?"

"Of course, sir, but now the screening scale has been reduced." The fan replied: "The current North American box office of "The Return of the King" is 631 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is 1.768 billion U.S. dollars.

It's a pity that it was still close to breaking the record of "Titanic". "

Whether a movie has a high box office depends on many factors.

The film quality of "The Return of the King" is excellent, but in terms of audience profile analysis, male audiences account for more than 55%.

As we all know, no matter how much a male movie fan likes a movie, most of them will go to the cinema to watch it once or twice.

In a few cases, we may go a few more times for support, but not too many times.

But if a movie pleases female fans, female fans are often emotional and impulsive when it comes to consumption. Based on this impulse, some chick flicks will achieve good results.

"Titanic" is not a chick flick, but the film managed to please female moviegoers.

The New Yorker reported that during the release of "Titanic", more than a dozen girls went to the cinema to watch "Titanic" fifteen times. The madness is evident.

Coincidentally, although he doesn't like blockbusters, Powell has watched "Titanic". Mainly because his wife enjoyed watching it, and Powell was able to study something.

In the classroom at Harvard University, he gave his students a special lecture on the sociological phenomena caused by "Titanic", which was exactly in line with his major.

The discussion ended and the two returned to the movie.

Just when Julie Baker thought she didn't like Bryce Roski, the basket boy auction held by the school made her realize that she still missed him in her heart.

When Bryce Roski stood on the stage in a suit and tie, her brain began to be confused.

She found that even though the person she was having lunch with was not Bryce Roski, her attention was entirely on him.

Just as she was thinking a lot, Bryce Rosky suddenly walked towards her, then pulled her aside and wanted to kiss her in front of all the students present.

She pulled away, she'd always wanted a kiss from Bryce Roski, but not in a scene like this.

She felt offended, ran home and locked herself up, unwilling to see him again. Until one day, she came to the front room to read a book and found Bryce Roski digging a hole in her lawn.

Preparing to plant her favorite sycamore tree, she understood his intentions, and the two reconciled as before, opening a new chapter in both directions.

The film ends here. As the song composed by Avril Lavigne sounds, the theater lights turn on, and little Gilbert leads the creators to the stage for the curtain call.

This movie may not be liked by many people, but everyone present was very considerate of it, and the applause never stopped.

After the film screening session ended, there were also specially arranged sessions to interact with movie fans and communicate with reporters.

Powell was sitting in the back row, but he didn't expect to be called on first.

So Powell stood up and asked: "I know that the original novel takes place in a very modern story. I would like to ask the director, what is the reason that made you place the story in the 1950s and 1960s?"

Little Gilbert joked: "Because there is an old man in the crew who made all the changes in the last century..."

After everyone had laughed, little Gilbert said seriously: "The story in the film is, to a certain extent, the story of screenwriter Andrew Schein himself.

In addition, I think there are many external conditions that interfere with campus today, such as the influence of game consoles, mobile phone text messages, and social networking sites.

But by setting the story in that era, these distractions disappear, allowing us to focus on the story of Julie Baker and Bryce Roski. "

Powell was satisfied with the answer and sat down after saying thank you.

The focus of the next questions, in addition to the movie, is also the question of Gilbert Jr.'s new movie.

Some viewers asked: "Although I like this movie very much, I would like to know if there will be a next "Lord of the Rings"? What are the plans for the new movie?"

Faced with this question, Gilbert Jr. smiled helplessly and said: "Although I prefer everyone to focus on the movie itself, there are so many people curious, so I will reveal a little bit.

There's a new Lord of the Rings story being planned, we're going to tell the story of The Hobbit, and my new movie is shooting in Mexico and I'll be back on set after the premiere. "

Compared with the movie itself, news about the new "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" attract the media more.

However, little Gilbert stopped answering any questions that had nothing to do with "Heartbeat", and fans and media reporters had no choice but to give up.

Afterwards, Avril Lavigne, the creator of the film's theme song, also performed on stage and sang two songs. This was an opportunity Sheena Boone fought for.

After the interactive session, Little Gilbert took Scarlett and Avril Lavigne to complete an epic meeting.

As soon as the two girls met, Scarlett stared at Avril Lavigne with eyes full of gunpowder. Avril was still wondering why the blond Persian cat in front of her had any grudge against her.

But seeing Scarlett hugging little Gilbert's arm tightly, Avril understood that she was jealous.

Avril thinks Scarlett is a bit funny, and little Gilbert is not a dollar, so it’s not like everyone will like him. She doesn’t like him either...

The two girls shook hands with their own thoughts, their expressions were complicated.

Little Gilbert didn't have so many ideas. Of course he felt that Scarlett was a little hostile to Avril, but this was all a matter for the girls. Little Gilbert left it to them to resolve it themselves.

"Next, the promotion of this movie depends on you. You must cooperate well!" Little Gilbert said.

Scarlett twisted her mouth and said, "No, I don't want to cooperate with her."

"Scarlett..." Little Gilbert sounded serious, warning Scarlett not to be willful.

Scarlett then turned around reluctantly, looked at Avril and said, "I hope you won't hold me back and our cooperation will go smoothly."

The clay figurine has three firearms, not to mention Avril Lavigne who can fight with boys.

She also sneered: "Huh, don't worry, I'm more professional than you..."

The two girls turned their heads away from each other, paying no attention to the other.

Looking at this scene, little Gilbert felt a little funny. He looked at Sheena Boone and motioned to leave these two little troubles to you.

Sheena Boon rolled her eyes and said she was speechless. Girls of this age are the most annoying.

After the premiere, Gilbert Jr. attended several shows with Scarlett and Robert Pattinson before rushing back to Mexico.

After the premiere, "Heartbeat" officially started its theatrical journey.
