American Fame and Fortune Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Pain and Anger

From the very beginning of the movie, there is a documentary-like nuclear explosion scene, with yellowed paper as the background of the picture, revealing a lot of so-called top secret information.

The main cast and crew subtitles flashed by, and a group of scientific expedition personnel wearing protective clothing were suddenly attacked and wiped out.

Then it's the beginning of a typical American horror film. The family goes on a trip and chooses to drive through Nevada.

 All dialogues and scenes highlight the occupation and character of the male protagonist Bob, a physical education teacher who teaches baseball and other sports in a certain school, and a young father.

 He has a deep love for his family, and for the sake of his children and wife, he has endured his conservative, stubborn and aggressive father-in-law again and again.

 Every time the two of them had a dispute and his wife came to act as peacemaker, Bob would choose to step back for his wife's sake.

  Compromising with his family for love, at least the audience will not be disgusted with this character.

 So, after filling up at the gas station, Bob shut himself into the RV to look after the kids while his father-in-law chose a side road.

The car suffered a puncture, and his father-in-law chose to go back to the gas station for help. As a young man, Bob went to explore the unknown road ahead.

 The road was cut off by a huge crater, and the deformed murderer officially appeared.

 Bob was suddenly attacked and attacked by two murderers. After paying the price of losing his finger, he killed the murderers.

Just when he bandaged his wounds, picked up the baseball bat and was about to return to the RV, his father-in-law was tied to a tree and set on fire. His mother-in-law and wife were killed, his sister-in-law and brother-in-law were injured, and the child was snatched away.

 In pain and anger, the one-person-one-stick-one-dog mode was officially launched.

 The male protagonist and the deformed murderer abuse each other.

 With the help of the dog and the deformed girl, the hero killed the enemy and rescued the child.

From the third row of the auditorium, watching the scarred actor carrying his child out of the abandoned town, film critic Kenneth Turan said: "Wes Craven has finally made some progress over the years."

 Todd McCarthy nodded: "He incorporated more action elements into the film."

 Another film critic, Courtney Howard, said: "This model is a bit interesting. One person and one dog, struggling to survive, and then fighting their way out."

McCarthy asked: "What did you think of the film?"

“It doesn't deviate from the traditional horror film formula.” Turan said simply: “But the male protagonist's acting is good. Did you notice that he played the sadness and anger of losing a loved one very well.”

Courtney then continued: "Don't you think that in the final showdown with the murderers, he was more like a pervert?"

McCarthy recalled it carefully, and it seemed to be somewhat interesting.

But Turan doesn't think so: "You can think about it after you step in. At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist loves his wife and children very much. When he sees his wife being killed and his children being robbed, what will he do? If you had his ability, , what will you do?"

McKas has a child: “I'd be even crazier than him.”

 Courtney nodded: "So, the male protagonist shows the greatness of father's love in this way."

Turan said: "Martin Davis is a good actor, much better than the idiots in Craven's two most successful series, Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream."

 The end credits appeared at this time, and the audience stood up and applauded, and several film critics also stood up and applauded.

This film cannot be said to be that good, but it is certainly not a bad one.

Vaughn next to him comes from CinemaScore, a professional market evaluation agency that specializes in audience reputation and has a keen insight into the film market.

Vaughan feels that this film is one of Craven's rare masterpieces in recent years. The leading actor's performance is very exciting, and the climax scene with one person, one dog and one stick at the end is amazing.

　　There have been so many articles on publicity and marketing, and there has been a lot of speculation about the scandal between Martin and Annie. Judging from his many years of experience in the first-line market, the market response to this film is not bad.

 Vaughn took out his cell phone and sent a group text message. His men were ready.

  Amidst applause, Ajia and Martin took the main cast and crew to the stage for the curtain call.

 From the auditorium, a chaotic scream suddenly sounded: "Martin, I love you!"

 At the beginning, only two or three people shouted, and then more people shouted Martin's name.

 Martin's role in this film is really outstanding, especially his love for his wife and children.

How deep your love is, how ruthless you will be when facing a murderer.

 No audience was disgusted by Martin's almost perverted killing, but instead felt a sense of joy and joy.

 The charm of the character flourished and spread to the actors.

Fans were very excited for a moment. Jessica and Emily glanced at each other. With excellent movies and characters as a basis, it was very easy for them to complete their tasks.

 The so-called potential is created.

 Martin's popularity and appeal are currently insufficient, so building momentum has become a necessary option.

Facing the enthusiasm of the fans, Martin had to stand up, wave, bow and take a bow.

Once a person's enthusiasm is aroused, it is difficult to subside immediately.

 Martin can only take his last breaths again and again.

 The other actors in the crew looked at Martin with envy, but there was nothing they could do.

The absolute leading actor, brought money into the group, and also serves as the production manager. He is one of the three most powerful actors in the crew, and is also deeply involved in publicity and marketing.

 The difference is more than one level.

In the media gallery, a reporter exclaimed: "Looking at the atmosphere in the theater, he looks like a superstar." The reporter next to him said: "This movie is a success, and Martin Davis's upward momentum cannot be stopped!"

　　The former agrees: "He and Anne Hathaway have been ridiculed by many people for being strong women and weak men. Maybe they will soon become strong men and weak women."

 Finally, the applause dispersed.

 The fans' emotions gradually calmed down.

  After the production director and the actor said a few words of gratitude as usual, the premiere ended in an orderly manner.

 Back in the lounge, many guests came over to congratulate them one by one.

Angelina Jolie hugged Martin gently and said with a smile: "Your performance is crazy and full of charm. I am very much looking forward to acting opposite you."

 Martin responded with a smile: "I also look forward to cooperating with you."

 The atmosphere in the lounge was excellent. Anne stayed with Martin and watched Martin become one of the central characters.

 She has also enjoyed something like this, which can be said to be a harbinger of success.

Kenneth Turan, the top film critic of the Los Angeles Times, came over, greeted Martin and Anne, and said to Martin: "I have been in the industry for more than 30 years and have reviewed thousands of movies. I found that your acting skills are very explosive. But the role itself limits your performance, maybe you should try a role with more layers.”

Martin said with respect: "Thank you for your pertinent advice. In the past, I had no choice but to act whatever I encountered. If I have a choice in the future, I will definitely choose more complex roles to hone my acting skills."

Turan was very pleased when the other party listened to his words: "Martin, you are very talented. Don't waste this talent. I hope you can become the new Daniel Day-Lewis or Sean Penn in the future."

 Martin nodded and responded: "I will work hard."

Turan smiled, said goodbye and returned to the circle of media critics.

 Todd McCarthy asked: "How is it? He doesn't look as arrogant as young people."

Turan said: "A very humble young man, he listens to suggestions, and his talent is so good. I hope he won't disappoint like Tom Cruise."

This group of reviewers was the first to leave the lounge and prepare to go back to work on the manuscript.

 The crew immediately sent someone to send them off, and each person was given a handbag.

 At the same time, the audience dispersed and left.

 Vaughan of CinemaScore company gathered a few of his subordinates and got into a large commercial vehicle together.

 He asked: “How was the response from the audience?”

The assistant next to me made preliminary statistics: "Most people rated it as A or , and relatively few people rated it as or B. If calculated on average, there should be an A."

“It's great that a horror film can do this,” Vaughn said.

The assistant added: "Today's premiere, too many viewers are supporters of Martin or Craven, so the rating will naturally be higher."

Of course Vaughan understands this: "According to past rules, after the film is fully released in North America, the rating may be A or , and the box office in the first week will be the same."

 In the theater, the premiere guests were also leaving one after another.

 Meine found Martin: "Boss, I'm ready to leave." He glanced at Anne: "Want me to help attract firepower?"

"No need." During the movie promotion period, Martin now needs high exposure. Seeing Mene alone, he asked curiously: "Where is Paris?"

Mene looked complicated: "She wants to come with me and is willing to pay, but I dare not let her follow."

Martin said: "It doesn't hurt to be cautious."

"Here in the theater, she gives me so much that I can't refuse it." Mene expressed her worries: "But in a secluded place, what should I do if she finds someone to attack me? I'm not Lao Bu, and it will be over by then."

 Martin looked at the time: "Go back early."

Seeing Mene leaving the theater, Anne said: "Where are you going tonight?"

Martin said: "I am a poor man now, and I can only go to the princess's residence."

Anne just thought Martin was joking, took his arm and walked out: "Then you will be a pauper, and I will be responsible for raising you."

　Why does this line sound familiar? Martin thought about it for a moment, wasn't this what he often said to Louise?

 The two walked out of the theater gate, and a large number of reporters and paparazzi gathered around them to take pictures.

Multiple security personnel stopped them. Martin escorted Anne to the car, opened the door and let the female companion get in first. He got in the car, closed the door, and said to Bruce: "Brother, go to the Hilton Hotel."

Bruce was not driving very fast, and there were at least a dozen paparazzi driving and riding motorcycles behind him. If he drove too fast, they would be in danger.

 Under Martin's words and deeds, Bruce will also put himself in others' shoes.

 A group of paparazzi chased him to the Hilton Hotel.

 The Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the door, and Martin and Anne entered the hotel. The two of them were in an intimate posture and would not come out again tonight.

 The other paparazzi left one after another, and Jody waited patiently for a while.

Not long after, someone came over from the parking lot and waved to her.

 Jody quickly walked over to get in the car and found that it was a young girl.

 Jessica took the envelope and handed it to Jody: "Martin is going to propose to Anne. This is a plan."

Jody opened the envelope and flipped through it: "I know how to write it."
