Hollywood Lover Chapter 345

  The man also smiled slightly, and the two held hands.

  The initial resisters saw such a change, about 40% of them left without saying goodbye. Some of them still insisted on their own views, and although some of them had a better impression of Brokeback Mountain, they couldn't immediately change their positions.

   As for Zi, Zhang Dongcheng didn't say anything, all of this is their freedom.

   I looked at the time and it was getting late. Zhang Dongcheng said to everyone: "Everyone, it's getting late, everyone, let's take our leave first!"

   "Wait!" The man suddenly stopped Zhang Dongcheng and said, "Director Smith, can I trouble you to sign for me?"

  Looking at the embarrassed look on the man's face. Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help smiling, and said, "Of course. But I don't have the habit of carrying a pen with me."

   "I have it, I have it!" The man hurriedly took out a watercolor pen and handed it to Zhang Dongcheng.

   Taking the oil paint pen from the man, Zhang Dongcheng hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where is the signature?"

  The man tugged on his clothes, pointed to the chest on the clothes, and said, "Just sign it here, um, can you write it as a gift to my most loyal supporter, Colin. These words?"

   "Of course!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded and smiled, and quickly left a line of English words on the man.

  Zhang Dongcheng's handwriting is still very beautiful, thanks to his English teacher back then. Although many students hate English classes in China, Zhang Dongcheng has practiced a very beautiful English word because of it.

  After finishing the signature, Zhang Dongcheng returned the oil paint brush to Colin and said, "Then goodbye, Colin!"

   "Goodbye, Mr. Smith!" Colin replied excitedly looking at the signature on his clothes.

   As time went by, Brokeback Mountain became more and more controversial.

The film critics in the newspapers scolded each other as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The reason was only Zhang Dongcheng's "Broken Arm Mountain". , the cusp of the storm is not enough to describe Zhang Dongcheng's current situation.

  Director Smith Zhang's expression is very subtle, with an oriental artistic conception, without too many conflicting plots, and many details need to be understood. I clearly didn't shed a single tear, but I felt extremely sad and felt tight in my chest.

   Not just the **** community, all love is the same. There is beauty, but also heartlessness and cruelty. Those women who fell in love with Ennis and Jack in the play, I think, their sadness, strength, confusion, and resistance are no less than the two male protagonists.

  They are also in love, and they are also experiencing the joys and sorrows of love. Broken Arm Mountain evokes the deep sigh in everyone's heart, the heartache of loving but not being able to. Cold and quiet, no end.

   Similarly, it also expresses a person's pursuit of the true self. The thorns encountered in the pursuit. The trade-off between responsibility and freedom. And those unspeakable regrets and hatreds.

  Everyone has their own concerns, all kinds of pain, and try their best to survive. The grievances and embarrassments suffered for life and love, what I fear most is not collapse or explosion, but a depressed death. As the years go by, the trivialities wear away, the face gets older, and the slight sadness and tenderness become the truth of life.

  The days of separation and reunion go by day by day. Some people grow old, some people become memories. Only the carefree years on Brokeback Mountain, the innocent feelings like children, reminded the past full of passion and nostalgia, and the insatiable pursuit of the lost youth.

  Although Smith is Chinese, he is very good at using Eastern culture to interpret the Western humanistic world, which is a kind of precipitation and integration.

  ——Tom Jaden, columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

  I think I should be grateful for this taboo on same-sex love.

  The taboo of their identities makes love last as long as new. Huge obstacles have made this love, and people are naturally resistant to prohibitions and obstacles.

"Any peace and contentment brought by warm reality, any rock-solid image of happiness will be destroyed by the hands of time; while the forbidden and damaged love can be achieved through the party that exerts power and the party that bears pressure. Eternal life." Being together is so difficult, so people will cherish it; people who don't know when to see each other will know how to miss.

  We see too many feelings around us that have no resistance but end without a problem, and self-sufficient feelings. In other words, we ourselves are also performing such clumsy dramas in turn.

  Brokeback Mountain only allows us in the bustling city to experience the romance and destruction that can only be loved in isolation.

  －－New York Times columnist Edward

I know that many people cried when they saw the two shirts of Jack and Ennis were connected by flesh and blood. I saw the sleeves of the shirts were empty, and I thought of the ancestors who had been made fun of for many years with Chinese allusions. I felt deep love with cruelty.

  This man and man and love story, written by a female writer, was made into a movie by an oriental man with gentle eyes like a lamb, with complex and mysterious cultural identities.

  Sometimes I suspect that this play was created by women, and ultimately belongs to female audiences, and Smith Zhang, who is the bridge, is now as great as Zweig in my eyes.

The farmer and the cowboy are actually two uneducated country children, but they are also rough and strong, and they are by no means the generosity and heroism shown in the Marlboro advertisements. The love of the past year is like that broken mountain range, gentle and quiet but touching. I don't know how much better it is than the literary youths playing seven twists and threes.

  Jack is enthusiastic and positive, while Ennis is always forbearing, but I love Ennis as a character. Why isn't Ennis a good guy? He works hard to support his family, and even though he doesn't love his wife enough, he always has a pleasant face and doesn't see him engaging in machismo, let alone his love for his daughter.

   As for him, wealth has never been close to him. His wife, daughter, and lover left him one by one, and finally his favorite Jack.

Jack seeks all the way, disappoints all the way, like a bird flying in the sky until he falls to the ground, it's not that he doesn't feel sorry for him who died; while the one who is alive still has consciousness, knows the pain, covers up the pain, and feels the knife every night I miss ENNIS, the fish who buries everything deeply in my heart.

   It was Ennis who silently carried and endured everything, and finally had the courage to say: Jack, Iswear.

  God, I can't describe in words, the image of this man with a big tongue in my mind at that moment. (btw, I like Ennis' surname DelMar, which means ofthesea in Spanish, so deep and forbearing...

  GOD, what more can I say, Brokeback Mountain….

  －－Washington Times columnist Christine.

The trend seems to be turning slowly. Broken Arm Mountain has more and more positive comments, and more and more people who have watched this movie have also begun to devote themselves to the movement to defend this movie. Love made them desperate, openly supported Zhang Dongcheng's Brokeback Mountain, and wrote articles to speak out for him.

  The church, conservatives, etc., hate this movie, and they can't wait to criticize it as a product of the devil, tempting the unclean fruit of human depravity.

   On the other hand, those who supported Brokeback Mountain split into two factions.

  One faction was originally gay, and this is the group that supports Brokeback Mountain the most. They support Brokeback Mountain almost like a brain-dead, and most of them have bought tickets several times to enter the movie theater.

  They don't have any utilitarianism, they simply feel that Zhang Dongcheng is the person who understands them best. In the two protagonists in the Broken Arm Mountain movie, Ennis and Jack, these people seem to see their own shadows. The awareness of empathy is beyond the comprehension of other movie fans!

  Of course, I believe that no one will really distort their sexual orientation, specifically to understand the relationship between homosexuals who will never leave, life and death.

  The other side of the supporters is the emotional love in it. The kind of gender-neutral, the most sincere emotion in the human heart!

   Also as written in some comments in media papers. Brokeback Mountain has the magic power to cleanse people's souls. That kind of pure, clean, and love without the slightest impurity is the fundamental reason that really drives these people to like Brokeback Mountain and support Brokeback Mountain.

  Christmas Eve in 1998, the day before Christmas, and the sixth day before the premiere of Brokeback Mountain. December twenty-fourth.

  On the streets of Los Angeles, a group of people with banners supporting Broken Arm Mountain gathered donation boxes and began to recommend Broken Arm Mountain to people.

  A large-scale fundraising campaign was launched on the Internet.

  However, due to the fact that the rise of the Internet is still relatively short, many people do not trust this kind of fundraising on the Internet, so online fundraising activities are not so smooth.

  In contrast, those fundraisers who took to the streets, mostly gathered around movie theaters where Brokeback Mountain was shown, turned out to be extraordinarily gratifying in the end.

   After one night, until Christmas the next day. They actually raised nearly 7,000 US dollars in donations.

   Don't think this is very little, because their harvest is only one night. Even in 2005, Brokeback Mountain raised donations from supporters on the Internet, but in the end it was only $6,500.

  In Zhang Dongcheng's villa.

"Smith. Look at this report! This Louis is such a piece of shit. He actually said in front of reporters that the fundraising activity that started yesterday was created by you. This is an illegal means of fundraising. What else is yours The purpose is nothing more than to promote Broken Arm Mountain. ****! Is this guy's head filled with poop? Now Broken Arm Mountain still needs publicity?” Adaman came to Zhang Dongcheng's villa with an angry face As soon as he saw Zhang Dongcheng, he impatiently took out a newspaper and handed it to him.

   Frowning slightly, Zhang Dongcheng said differently: "Adaman, who is this Louis?"

   "Oh! ****! I actually forgot to tell you that I was hungry." Adaman slapped his forehead and explained: "This Louis is the boss of a theater company we contacted before."

   "Theatrical company?" Zhang Dongcheng became more and more confused. If it was purely a theater company, would there be any conflicts between the two parties? There is no need for this Louis to spare no effort to discredit him, right?

   "Adaman, do we have an enmity with this Louis?" Zhang Dongcheng asked puzzled.

  Adaman pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really can't remember when we had a grudge with this guy!"

   "Then why does this Louis want to discredit us?"

"****! How do I know this?" Adaman shrugged, sat down on the sofa, his face suddenly filled with a malicious smile, and said, "Maybe this Louis himself is gay. Your Brokeback Mountain It might have exposed his true face and made him feel ashamed!"

   "Nonsense!" Zhang Dongcheng scolded with a smile, how could this kind of reason be valid?

  But Zhang Dongcheng didn't know that, although Adaman's words missed, they were not far away.

  Louis is a deeply rooted person who hates homosexuality. He opposed Brokeback Mountain and even slandered Zhang Dongcheng for no reason. The nature of a businessman is to pursue profit.

  Louis is certainly no exception, and it must be good for him to do so. Of course, I just don't know how great this benefit is, and it has allowed him to do this to such an extent that he spared no effort to discredit Zhang Dongcheng.

   "Okay, we don't care why this guy is right with us now!" Adaman waved his hand and said seriously: "Now this guy has made a move. What should we do now?"

"What can we do?" Zhang Dongcheng shrugged indifferently, and said, "The mouth grows on someone's body, and it is the other party's freedom to say whatever they want. Freedom of speech is the foundation of the United States. It is a national policy. Can we still Tell him to shut up?!"

   "But why don't we let this guy slander randomly in the newspaper?" Adaman said angrily.

  In his opinion, this Louis is simply full. There have been several cooperations between the two parties before, but now, there is no enmity, and there is no enmity. This guy slandered Brokeback Mountain and Zhang Dongcheng so unscrupulously in the newspaper.

   This is unbearable.

  This kind of feeling is like when you are walking on the street, someone suddenly rushes over and slaps you in the face, but this guy has met you before, and there is no conflict between the two parties.

  As long as they are normal people, they will feel angry and unbearable, and they can't wait to fight with each other.

   "Smith, are you still afraid of this guy?" Adaman persuaded dissatisfiedly, "Where did your courage to beat Andy go?"

   "Adaman!" Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help feeling a little funny seeing Adaman's distraught look, but at the same time he was also a little moved in his heart. Approaching Adaman so angry is also defending his friend. "Don't be so anxious, we are different now. We were just students at that time. But now, you are the senior management of Dongcheng Pictures! Do you want to scold each other like scolding each other in the newspaper? "

  Adaman froze for a moment, and said eagerly: "But we can't be cowards, can we?"

Looking at the almost slanderous remarks made by Louis in the newspaper that Adaman came to, Zhang Dongcheng smiled meaningfully and said, "Adaman, don't worry. I don't think it will be long before this guy is about to commit suicide. Eat the fruit!"

  In fact, Zhang Dongcheng still underestimated the supporters of Brokeback Mountain.

   When this newspaper was just sent out, Louis was in trouble.

  A large crowd of demonstrators gathered in front of several movie theaters of the Louis Cinema Company, shouting slogans asking him to come out to direct Brokeback Mountain and apologize for Zhang Dongcheng, making the entire theater chain unable to operate.

  In Louis' office.

   "This group of homosexuals who should have been burned a long time ago, they dare to do this!" Louis looked angrily at the crowd gathered in the office building to sit in and demonstrate.

   "Boss, what should we do now?" A white man with a big hooked nose asked Louis with a bit of haze in his eyes.

   "Monroe, hold a press conference for me right away. I want to condemn Smith. This is a violent act. I will never give in!" Louis said with a grim expression.

   "Boss, this is really a wise decision!" Monroe said approvingly.

  This Monroe was the editor-in-chief of Los Angeles Media News. Ever since Zhang Dongcheng slapped him hard, Monroe has been completely devastated. Gavin took it out on him too, lost his editorial job, and changed jobs several times over the course of a few months.

   In the end, he had to turn to his old classmate Louis for help. This trouble for Zhang Dongcheng was his idea for Louis, and it was impossible for him to forget that humiliation.

   More than ten days ago.

  Dongcheng Pictures just announced the premiere date of Brokeback Mountain.

   "Louis!" Monroe came to Louis' office.

   "Oh! Monroe, my friend. How is it? Are you still used to working here?" Louis asked with concern.

   "Of course. Thank you for your concern, my boss!" Monroe has deep knowledge of the workplace, although he and Louis were good friends who talked about everything when they were in college. But now that he is a subordinate, of course his off-duty hours can be the same, but in the company, he must maintain enough respect for Louis.

   "So, what do you want to see me for?" Louis asked puzzled.

   "Boss, read this first!" Monroe handed the newspaper to Louis.

   "This is?" I saw Zhang Dongcheng's hungry photo in the newspaper, and the news that Brokeback Mountain was about to be broadcast. Louis had a dissatisfied expression on his face.

  Munro knew that when he was in college, Louis was **** and harassed him for several months. In the end, he was almost dragged away by the other party to pick up soap. This incident left a deep impression on him, and made his old classmate hate homosexuality deeply.

  The mentality of resistance is even comparable to that of the Jews against the Nazis, and the people of Nanjing against the Japanese right wing! It is not an exaggeration to describe it as discord.

"******! Smith is so dazed that he went back to shoot such a movie. Sure enough, he became famous so fast, which made him feel a little giddy. Who did he think he was? Going to shoot such a glorified **** movie The movie? True love has no gender? Shit! If there is no gender, why did God create an Eve after creating Adam? Wouldn't it be enough to just create two Adams?” Lewis complained.

  He has cooperated with Dongcheng Pictures several times, and he has to admit that Zhang Dongcheng's movies have indeed made him a lot of money.

  But this Brokeback Mountain really disgusted Louis.

"That's right!" Monroe's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "The topic of homosexuality has always been an emergency. Even some world-class directors dare not challenge such a subject rashly. It is certain that Brokeback Mountain is about to Become Smith Zhang's Waterloo!"

   "Monroe, you have the same opinion as I do! Brokeback Mountain will indeed become Smith's Waterloo. Even the foundation he worked so hard for will face the danger of collapse and disintegration!" Louis nodded in agreement.

   "Louis, I heard that your previous cooperation with Dongcheng Pictures was very pleasant, right?" Monroe changed the subject and asked.

"Yes!" There's nothing to hide about this, Louis nodded, and immediately understood what Monroe meant, and said, "Dude, you're not here to persuade me to let the cinema show Brokeback Mountain? That's impossible , you know me. I will never allow this kind of dirty movie to appear in my theater!"

  In Louis' eyes, even restricted-rated movies are much purer than movies like Brokeback Mountain. At least in his mind that is the case.

  In Louis's mind, homosexuality is a group of brutal, shameless creatures with distorted views, like male dogs in heat. It can't be equated with humans at all.

   "No, no, no!" Monroe shook his head again and again, and said, "I know you. Louis, I'm not here to persuade you to show this movie. On the contrary, I'm afraid you will be blinded by Smith Zhang's previous success!"

   "I'm not that confused!" Louis smiled a little, and said, "I think I understand your reason for coming. I will definitely not cooperate with Dongcheng Films on this movie!"

   "A wise choice!" Monroe raised his thumb and exclaimed, "But this is not enough!"

   "Huh? What do you mean?" Louis asked puzzled.

  "Louis, do you know what it means to throw a stone into a well?" Monroe said the four words "to throw a stone into a well" in Chinese.

   "To add insult to injury?" Louis repeated awkwardly, then asked blankly, "Is this Chinese?"

"That's right, it's Chinese!" Monroe said, "Louis, China is a very magical country. The more you get to know her, the more you will find that this country has been able to last for five thousand years, and it has a culture that other civilizations cannot. The advantage of comparison. In this country, there are many common sayings. Breaking the drum and beating it! Adding insult to injury. All of them have the same meaning.”

   "Okay, I know you know a lot about China. My Mr. China Hand. Then, can you explain to me the meaning of these two sentences first?" Louis shrugged and asked.

"It's very simple!" Monroe said with a sinister smile, "Since Smith Zhang himself has gone to the point of no return, then we should simply push him! Don't you think that a yellow-skinned monkey is in the hands of us Americans? Is it unacceptable to be domineering on the country's land?"

   "Push it?" Louis' eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean, let me belittle Brokeback Mountain publicly?"

   "Oh! No!" Monroe shook his head, pretending to be helpless on purpose, and said, 'This is not intentional belittling. It's just telling the truth. Do you think Americans are attracted to a **** movie? "
