Chapter 88: We are going to watch this movie

At the 72nd Academy Awards, as most of the media predicted beforehand, "American Beauty" became the big winner. It won the most lived film, most lived director, best actor, most lived original script, The top five awards for best photography, including almost all the top prizes, Sam Mandes became the sixth director of the debut film to win the "Oscar Best Director" award, and his second youngest The record is second only to Norman Tauróg, who won the award with "Tao Geer" at the age of 32. (Reading novels)
Two years ago, no filmmaker was willing to invest in "American Beauty". Finally, Steven Spielberg was able to start shooting with DreamWorks investment. Now it has won a great victory and become another classic in film history. Sam Mandes has also become a rising supernova. He can be seen in almost all film casts and magazine headlines. On the award stage, Spear Berg smiled and handed out the picture of the little golden man to Sam Mandes, which became a lot of cover photos.
The media have already shouted the title of "Steven Spielberg's successor". The light of Sam-Mandes overshadowed the entire Hollywood for a time. The future is promising and the next film master ... "But there are also media It is pointed out that for Sam Mandes, what to make in the second movie proves that he is not the kind of "one-piece director". This is an unavoidable and serious test.
In 1999, the most popular movie "Pre-Star Wars," failed to get a top prize, and all lost to "The Matrix"; and another big-selling movie "High School Musical" is also empty-handed, the best original song The first prize was won by "Taishan". David Lawrence couldn't hide his disappointment. Wang Yang didn't matter. He had long guessed how the serious and old-fashioned Oscar could put the little golden man in the hands of a youth campus movie. , Even if it ’s just the best original song.
Before attending the Oscars, Wang Yang still had some excitement and expectations, but when he finished this time, he did n’t want to come again. He spent the whole day outside the venue to deal with the media and participate in activities. In the evening, he sat in the Kodak Theater All night long, after the award was over, everything will be fine. But then there is the Oscar dinner held by Vanity Fair. You will almost have to go after receiving the invitation. All the winners, nominees, and invitees will go. This is already a "tradition". It was an offense to Vanity Fair, and it was disrespectful to the winners, because you did not congratulate.
Wang Yang knows that he absolutely has no idea of ​​disrespecting anyone, but others do n’t know, there is no need to turn his physicist into
solitary
. He is a producer and a director. People deal with each other and know each other, so despite shouting "I just want to go home!", He attended the Oscar dinner with the same tired Jessica.
Things are not over yet, obviously hungry to swallow a few big hamburgers, but in front of the sumptuous food of the dinner, Wang Yang and Jessica, and all other celebrities, won the best actress Hilary Wanke, the best leading actor, Kaizhi Spassi ... "No one started, because there were media reporters all around, they would always take the" ugly "food you eat, and then add" stack ghost "," Reporting with headlines such as "no demeanor" is a big blow to the individual stylist.
Wang Yang did n’t want to be an idol star, but his personal image was a chain reaction, including the promotion of company figures and movies. Before it was so dead that he would die without eating food immediately, Endure it! At the end of the dinner, he and Jessica returned to the extended Lincoln car, and they both could n’t wait to gnawing at the family package bought by their assistant at nearby McDonald ’s, while whispering
Let the Xingjia die

Continue to join other celebration parties? Have a sleepless night? This is a large part of the star's choice, but Wang Yang's choice is to go home, then lie down in bed comfortably, sleep on the ground, and continue the post-production of "Dang Xingfu to Knock on the Door" the next day.
Edited with Margaret, scored with Jens-Kezmelik, and made some manual adjustments to the light and color of the picture, and Wang Yang lived busy every day when the time came In mid-April, all later work was finally completed within expectations, and the 120-minute release version of "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" was announced. The production cost was fixed at 32 million yuan.
This 120-minute video is devoted to the efforts and efforts of countless people. Compared with the original version, the overall structure of the story has not changed much. It is still around Chris Gardner from barely supporting life, poverty, and finally to success. To carry out, but there are many differences in rhythm and details. The proportion of time in the homeless stage has increased, and there are more real details and changes in mentality. Wang Yang feels that he has reached the overall natural plumpness, and there is no hasty transmission. Feelings: In the soundtrack, Jans-Kez Solik is the "best soundtrack". His mastery of the picture and emotion are master-level, lively string music, soft and sad piano, and a few magical strokes. The children's voice has greatly enhanced the design of the boat and the performance of the actors.
The co-operating Valais-Fez held Wang Yang's thoughts very well, and they adjusted according to the style that was set at the beginning. At the beginning, the picture was like the morning sun in the sky, slightly yellowed, and warm but a trace Lonely; then slowly became gray, and slowly became bright, and finally Will Smith walked in the crowd with red eyes, and when he was too happy to cover himself, it seemed that the shame became only warm and happy. .
There is also a sincere and moving interpretation of Will Smith Smith, strict restoration of the streets and clothing of San Francisco in 1981 ... "and his own emotions. This movie not only has the life and mentality of Chris Gardner, but also To him, when Chris was counting debts to Weiss, he added Weiss and yelled at Chris, "You are a loser, we are all, don't care about that old piece, find a job you should find." ", As Harry-George once shouted to him.
Wang Yang feels that the current "When Happiness Comes to Knock" is the highest level he can currently produce. He gave himself a + and Will-Smith +, and everyone in the crew is a +.
After everything was completed, the Flame Film Company sent the finished version of the film to the MPAA for classification review for the first time. There was no foul language, violence, drug use, etc. in these 120 minutes, but Wang Yang ’s desire to get a grade was defeated. MPAA gave a PG level, parental counseling level, because there are scenes such as selling blood, being hit by a car, squeezing a shelter, etc. that make children emotionally uncomfortable, so we need a mother to help them understand.
In fact, the level and PG level have no effect on "When Happiness Comes to Knock", because its market positioning is not children, but adults who know what is lucky and what is a dream. Wang Yang wanted to get a grade, but a greedy mentality "If you pursue a grade without affecting the quality of the film, you should pursue it as much as possible"; now that you have obtained the PG grade, he is not disappointed, but inexplicably relieved, he will not next time I want to classify things again.
As early as the beginning of the month, the flame movie released the official trailer. This trailer is still the main son of Will-Smith. Of course, there are also pictures of their family, and there are some ups and downs, such as Chris ’s detention The scene of Liz being hit by a car is more exciting than the previous trailer, which also makes the expectations of fans more and more high. The other one was on the TV screen for the 30 trailer. During the advertising period of the NAA National Championship finals, Michigan State University vs. University of Florida, it was only broadcast twice, but the Flame movie was paid to the broadcaster $ 2 million.
Wang Yang and Jessica watched the whole game with excitement on the couch at home. It was to support the University of Florida, who was not optimistic but broke into the final. His top four predicted that only the University of Cincinnati was not listed, and the success of the popular ups and downs in Florida made Jessica thumbs up and also convinced fans who watched his blog.
But to the disappointment of the two, the University of Florida did not have a dark horse in the end, and finally won the national championship for the second time.
But in any case, the publicity effect of the film has been reached, close to 20 o'clock national viewing, the advertisements with long pauses in those two games were watched by the audience at 10 o'clock, and they are extremely large groups.
The hard advertisement of "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" is not the only one. Several advertisements such as Luofan, New York, Chicago's "ticket warehouse" city bus city, subway station and other places are posted with prestige. Although the posters of the Smith and Sons are not to the full extent, they are also close to the "you can always see it in one place", the cost is naturally not low, together with the trailer of 2 million, and some city and city LED advertisements The budget of the entire hard and wide plan is 18 million.
The entire film's promotional cost is 25 million, and the other 7 million is used for soft advertising, viral marketing on the Internet, Chris Gardner's autobiography, and TV talk show. The viral marketing on the Internet is still old-fashioned, without playing the mystery, bluntly went to various forum communities to provoke topics, about Chris Gardner, about this movie; with the success of Chris Gardner ’s tour speech, His autobiography reached the championship position of the New York Times weekly bestseller list, and the snowball was getting bigger and bigger, but it was also out of control; the last wave of offensive before the release, Wang Yang and Will Smith Waiting for the main creator to start a talk show and an interview with a paper magazine, the distribution department of Huoping Film is in touch every day. There is only one goal, more interviews, more talk shows!
In "Late Night Talk Show", Wang Yang and Will-Smith in casual clothes were sitting on the red sofa. The host Conan Obris behind the wooden table next to them looked at them and suddenly smiled and asked, "Sir, take In the golden acid, the worst actor, how do you feel that the martial king, the Holy King, made the sacred king, and the night will kill the God Seal, the throne, and the strongest abandoned the young big week, the royal family will kill the God, the seal, the throne, and the night. The strongest abandoning the young Zhou Dynasty martial arts Qiankun will kill the God seal the throne in the night and seek the devil Ao Nine Heavy "The audience below immediately uttered" Oh, "Wang Yang and Will Smith all smiled. This talk show is for the purpose of entertaining people, and a small open is naturally one of the means.
"I feel very good, this is a major achievement of my acting career, I put the trophy in the bedroom window cabinet, hey, man, it's beautiful. Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao.com women's winter coat m!" Wei Er-Smith said seriously in his face, just as Jin Shui Mei was a great honor, his anti-look response also made the audience laugh. Conan O'Brien shook his head frowning and said, "If I throw it away, at least not in the bedroom, the smell will affect my sleep. I want to eat berries. Is anyone the same as me? ? "
The audience laughed and shouted, Will Smith also smiled, Conan O'Brien pressed his hand, looked at Wang Yang and asked, "Yang, when you heard Will got the worst actor , What was your first reaction? "He immediately looked shocked and frightened, and changed his voice." Oh my god! Oh bad, it's over, the hero of my movie has just got Jin Suan Mei. , Wow, what should I do? "
"No, come, ......" In the audience's laughter, Wang Yang smiled and denied it, and the thumb smiled: "I don't want to talk about Jin Shou to take this matter again! OK, in fact I didn't react at all, There is only one idea. "He looked at Will Smith next to him, remembering the 120-minute video, but what could he say? He looked at the audience and said with a smile: "Have you taken Jin Suan Mei this year, and the Oscar next year? I want to have it." The audience suddenly laughed and exclaimed, and Smith Smith also made a face. Shocked, Wang Yang said loudly: "I know how great Will's acting is, and you will know soon!"
"Oh! Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Conan sniffed Briss raised his hand to stop the audience to applaud, watching Wang Yang, very excitedly said: "What did I hear? Yang, you said Will Can I get an Oscar? Is this your vision of "When Knocking on Happiness"? "
Everything has been said. If "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" fails, he and Will will both become laughing stocks; but will it fail? Wang Yang nodded with confidence: "Yes, this is my prospect! I can say more, but leave it to the cinema." Kofu Obrien sighed a few times, Pointing at Wang Yang, he smiled at the audience: "This guy is crazy enough, I like it, I don't worry about watching!"
Wang Yang shrugged indifferently and shrugged. Will-Smith grabbed him and booed and smiled: "Director, let's relax!" After the movie was completed, he watched it for the first time. The performance was also very satisfying and self-confident. He smiled and said, "There will be no surprises when you say it, will you?"
The audience below suddenly laughed and clapped, and many people blew up. Whistle, Kefu Obris said solemnly: "Oh, how confident two people! I can't wait to see the movie." Then, he asked quietly, with his head stretched out again, his mouth half covered. : "Tell me, was the truth just told? Was the movie so exciting?" The audience laughed louder, and Wang Yang and Will laughed. After a few seconds, Conan said, "Okay, It ’s time to talk about living with people, my favorite part! So, Jan, how are you and Jessica ?,

He watched the talk show and laughed haha: "Hey, that guy is really good! When will his" When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door "be released?" He looked at his wife on the other side of the sofa, and she answered without thinking: "No. 20."
"Oh, it's 20th in a few days, let's go and see!" Aron Johnson smiled and hugged the five-year-old son next to him, holding him up and laughing, "Hey, little boy, we are going to see this A movie, "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door."
