I was deeply shocked by your coldness and cruelty, Dufrey, and even before you I felt that chill, on behalf of the Supreme Court of Maine, I sentence you to two life imprisonment, in order, once per person, immediately, no parole, no above!
Andy Dufrey's face turned pale as the judge's cold verdict was announced.
The next step is naturally to be sent to jail. What kind of blow will be more serious than this?
The shot of looking up when passing the prison gate made the viewer feel suffocated, and the warden's naked words of giving faith to God and body to me made people initially appreciate the despair in prison.
However, unexpectedly, most people, whether it is Red in the film or the audience in front of the big screen, thought Andy would cry on the night of jail, but they accepted their situation very calmly.
As Reid said when he was giving the wind, among these prisoners, he was like a free man.
The story continues to develop, and Reid's fish in prison, the cruelty of the prison guards, and the perversion of the three sisters are revealed one by one as the plot. The audience is worried and indignant and confused, did Andy kill his wife?
The answer to this question seemed to reveal clues when repairing the roof. Andy risked being pushed downstairs by the prison captain to exchange three bottles of beer for each of his companions.
In the early morning sun, prisoners were drinking refreshing beer, while Andy smiled and looked at them, as if normal workers were resting.
As Andy helped the prison guards evade taxes, he began to enter the warden's sight, and was transferred to the library to be his companionship with Lao Bu, and then began to launder money for the warden.
He was like Lao Bu who was released from prison on parole and finally hung in the room. He began to be institutionalized slowly. He wrote to the State House to ask for funds to build a library and seemed to be struggling to die until "Figaro's Wedding" rang in prison.
I didn't understand what the two Italian ladies were singing that day, and I didn't want to understand... Reed's narration rang, but another line began to echo in the hearts of the audience: Some birds are destined to be locked in cages, because every piece of their feather shines with the glory of freedom!
Finally, the climax is coming, Tommy, who was imprisoned for theft, cleared Andy's suspicion. Unfortunately, the warden did not intend to declare for him, how could he let a prisoner who had his own secret leave the control.
Andy angered the warden and was finally put in a lockdown. Although he fought, he still failed and even took Tommy's life.
Is everything going to end?
When the audience held their breath when they learned that Andy had taken away a few feet of rope from his friend, and when the camera stayed in Andy sitting on the bed for a long time, Reid said that anyone could not get through it.
At this point, no one wants to see the end of the tragedy.
They did not see that the plot suddenly turned around. When the camera stretched out from the cave where Andy escaped to shoot the warden's twisted face, when Andy carefully planned to crawl in the foul sewer regardless of everything, when Andy stretched out her hands to look up at the night sky in the rain, the audience's previously suppressed emotions were vented in the thick and exciting music, and the long breathing sounds abounded in the screening hall.
The movie is finally over, all the bad guys are punished, and Reid, who sincerely confesses for Andy, is also released on parole, and the two reunited on the sunny beach and hugged.
The lights in the screening room started to illuminate and quiet for a few minutes. The applause suddenly rang out. At first, there was only one person, but there were two more people. As more people joined in, the warm applause could almost overturn the roof.
It seems that everyone still likes this movie.
Adrian, sitting in a special private room, said proudly as he looked at the scene in the screening room. Lavern looked at him without saying a word, lowered his head and wrote something on his laptop.
Soon a staff member fed back the information of the preview meeting, and with the statistics table, Adrian couldn't help but whistle: Look, Laver, the evaluations are basically between 8 and 9 points, and there are also a few who score 10 points. As for the opinions put forward, they are all within my expectations and can be ignored.
This is indeed an excellent movie.Lafone nodded in agreement with the statement.
Then, I will notify the Global side and leave the publicity work to you.Adrian stared at him, not blinking.
I see.Lavern stopped what was in his hand, raised his head and nodded seriously again.
He knew very well why Adrian spoke so seriously, Oscar!
As the most influential film award in the United States, the honors represented by the Academy Awards are incomparable to other awards, whether it is the Golden Globe, the Director's Union or the Film Critics Association Award. Every year, it will trigger a war. Various film companies will do their best to promote and publicize the movies they produce for the actors who star in the movies, from nominations to awards.
As Adrian said, all award ceremony is just a cake split, whether it is a European film festival or an Oscar, as long as you are qualified to participate, you can expect to get a piece of it. As for whether you can get it, it depends on the means of publicity and public relations.
Generally speaking, if a movie or an actor can be nominated and won an award, the contribution to publicity and public relations must be at least 40%, especially when winning the award, which will increase by 5 percentage points.
Unless the movie or actor has an indisputable advantage, for example, 90% of the critics and the public agree that the movie or actor should win the award, or that the other movie or actor nominated that year has too big a gap between the movie and actor.
It sounds unacceptable. Shouldn’t the judges of such widely-known film awards be fair and fair?
However, the reality is so regrettable. If it is a person, it will be affected, and if it is a person, it will be biased. Of course, the judges cannot be not humans, so it is certain that they are influenced or have subjective views on certain movies.
As long as the publicity is in place and the public relations are effective, the judges will naturally unknowingly favor certain movies and actors, and then vote for it.
The Film Academy has thought of a solution. The 5,000 members are judges, which is one of the measures. This indeed ensures fairness to a certain extent.
After all, compared to the Golden Globe Awards with only 99 judges, it is not easy to influence 5,000 people.
However, this fairness is only a certain extent. The 5,000 members of the Film Academy seem to be quite large, but less than half of the people can really control the judges. Just like in European film festivals, the Chinese judges always have a lot of say.
Therefore, after ensuring quality, competition outside of quality becomes the main factor in determining the outcome.
If you have huge publicity tools in your hands and can be seen, heard and noticed by judges at any time, then you will be almost invincible, and this is the power of the media.
Of course, ordinary people will not see these. They will only see the various predictions of critics, the various shows on the Oscar red carpet, and the glamorous pictures. However, they will not and cannot pay attention to the various things behind them. This is also the power of the media.
Therefore, Adrian has fulfilled his promise to produce a movie that is qualified. Whether he can get the Oscar ticket next year depends on Lavern's publicity work.
OK, so let's talk about another issue next.Adrian immediately changed the topic and prepared for a new movie.
Lavern immediately smiled bitterly, and he really didn't know what to say about this. Adrian's pace was too fast and too big, which made him feel like he couldn't catch up.
It is undeniable that since he acquired Bosworth Films, the two small-cost and high-box movies he produced personally immediately changed the company's current half-dead situation.
Especially "Memory Fragments", which only had a few million less box office than "Two Big Blows", but it won a very high reputation. The last time this happened to Bosworth Films was several years ago.
In addition, he has an extremely keen vision in investing in movies. For example, in July's "Terminator 2", the global box office has exceeded 400 million, and several countries have not yet released it. The global final box office may exceed 500 million!
Since there is a good start, it should naturally develop steadily, but Adrian chose to make a breakthrough.
Before "Memory Fragments" was released, we began to prepare for the medium-sized investment "Shawshank Redemption", and this time the goal is no longer a film festival, but an Academy Award!
In addition, Spielberg was invited to direct "Jurassic Park" and also prepare to collaborate with Disney to produce the live version of "The Ghost Elf".
Well, Lavern admits that Shawshank Redemption is a great movie that is fully qualified for the Oscars.
He also admitted that with the lessons of "Terminator 2", if "Jurassic Park" can really make a realistic dinosaur CG, it would be a big profit; while "The Elf" has the popularity of the anime, and as long as the director and producer can grasp the selling points, it is possible to make a profit.
But not only did Adrian not stop, but instead ran even more crazy. The late stage of "Shawshank Redemption" just ended, and he was about to prepare a new movie, and he also wanted to make three movies in the next year. He also threatened to win a movie star and a movie star and get the nomination for the best director!
As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Lavern has seen many arrogant, paranoid, eccentric directors and producers, but this is the first time Adrian has.
He is neither arrogant nor paranoid and very well-educated, but once things involve film, he will become extremely confident, as if he is always right.
Indeed, Adrian's ability is unquestionable. So far he is right, but the question is, can he continue to be correct?
Maybe...can it?Although she smiled bitterly, although she had expressed her opinions on Adrian's actions a long time ago, Lafone couldn't help but want to see another miracle in her heart.
Andy Dufrey's face turned pale as the judge's cold verdict was announced.
