Chapter 769

On the big screen, the powerful arrow from the hard bow just surprised an old man who had just driven to see John off.

This is will, Professor of psychology.

Different from the abrupt turn of the original, because there have been many details, the audience are aware that compared with other colleagues, will obviously has a special connection with John, and a few more agile viewers have even vaguely guessed this connection.

Knowing the topic of discussion, will, who seems to be in a low mood, rallies to analyze John's "delusion" of immortality from a psychological point of view.

When he found that he could not refute John's theory, will burst out unexpectedly and even took out a revolver.

This is another turning point for the film.

After some consolation, they learned that will's wife died suddenly, and that the man who had just lost his beloved was on the verge of collapse. Knowing that John could enjoy endless life, they felt that time was unfair.

In this episode, John once again shows his unusual concern for will.

Finally, will calms down, feels that John intends to stop the topic, and takes the initiative to mention it, hoping that he can continue to tell this seemingly beautiful and fantastic story.

John agreed and continued to respond to all kinds of questions skillfully.

Unconsciously, the sky came to an end.

By the campfire in the fireplace, John played Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

In the distant music and the confused fire light, the story seems to begin to end and come to the final climax.

"I once participated in the rise of the pyramids, and was shocked by the Great Wall stretching thousands of miles."

"I have witnessed the rise of the Persian Empire, and I regret the fall of the Roman Empire."

"I came across the preaching of Jesus, listened to the Buddha, watched the stars with Copernicus, painted with Van Gogh, felt the light of Aristotle's wisdom, and experienced the brilliance of the Renaissance."

“……”

"And war."

"Endless war."

"I followed Alexander to conquer Europe, met the whip of God of the Mongols, witnessed the fire of Troy, and witnessed the fall of Constantinople."

"The revolt of Sparta, the Crusade, the defeat of the Teutonic Knights, Napoleon's Waterloo."

"And."

"The two world wars of human self destruction."

“……”

John's monologue lasting more than three minutes, like a wonderful speech, slowly unfolds a magnificent historical picture to the people in the hut.

The music fell unconsciously.

In the light of the fire, John finally scanned the crowd, suddenly raised his hand and gave a loud high five, which broke everyone's dreams.

After everyone recovered, John suddenly announced that the story would come to an end.

It's just a story.

The night is thick.

It's time to leave.

After seeing them off, John finally gave them the big bow and Van Gogh's painting.

It's over.

But there are still women who have been in secret love for ten years.

Side by side in front of the car.

Look up.

Overhead is the empty and lonely starry sky in winter, which has never changed.

Linda asked if John would come back to attend will's wife's funeral. She got a seemingly inhuman negative answer, but it was no surprise. Then she suddenly combined some of John's and will's previous words and revealed some truth. A truth that most people have already guessed at the end.

"The planet is 4.6 billion years old, maybe 4.6 billion more."

"Well?"

"14000 is nothing."

"Well."

"So we're all in a flash, aren't we? "

" yes, in a moment. "

In the final dialogue, the camera starts to take off, pull away, and gradually turns into the sky again. It stops in the endless starry sky and the distant outline of heaven and earth, and then goes dark.

The subtitles rise.

Because of Simon's deliberate action, the film does not instill any thinking words into the audience from the beginning to the end, but only narrates and discusses in a interlocking way. However, in the screening hall, when the film is over, all the audience are immersed in a kind of involuntary meditation.

Until the light came on and there was a moment of silence, warm applause finally broke out.

The new version of this man from the earth takes just 90 minutes, slightly longer than the original version. Simon's obsessive-compulsive disorder is a problem.

The screening starts at 10 o'clock and the movie ends at 11:30 a.m.

With the applause of the audience, a group of main creators came to the stage.

A row of chairs were arranged on the stage. Simon and Redford sat on both sides, showing the posture of leaving opportunities for several core members. The middle four were the film's four main creators, director Brett Ratner, leading actor and heroine George Clooney and Elizabeth Perkins, and "it's no use for you to be envious just because there are big guys behind you." The girl is next to Simon.Six people sat down, waiting for the reporter who was allowed to bring the camera into the audience to press the shutter wildly for a while. Then Redford raised the microphone and asked with a smile, "what do you think of the film?"

The response was another round of applause.

A moment later, Redford raised his hand and pressed it. Then he said, "if you have any questions of interest, you can ask them freely."

Voice down, the stage raised an arm.

Redford looked around and carefully selected a reporter from variety magazine who just had some impressions.

The young white man, who seems to be less than 30 years old, took the microphone from the staff and, as expected, directly aimed at Simon: "Mr. westrow, it's a great honor to see your Screenwriter's work on the big screen again. I want to ask, how did you come up with the idea of this film, or is the hero John of this film yourself to some extent?"

At the exit of this question, hundreds of audience in the screening hall were slightly wide eyed, waiting for Simon's answer.

At a corner in the front row of the screening hall, grace heard this question, but she couldn't help thinking of her experience in San Francisco last October. There are not many opportunities to get along with the little man alone, each time can make grace remember deeply. Noticing that a guy on the stage obviously glanced at this side, grace quickly lowered her eyes. Her cheek was slightly hot, and she didn't know how he would reply.

Simon was not surprised by this problem. He glanced at a place under the stage without any trace, and said with a smile: "it's just an interesting idea that I had a chance to chat with my friends, and then I made it. It has nothing to do with myself. If I were John in the movie, I would try my best to hide myself instead of sitting in front of you now. I'm still afraid of being caught doing anatomical experiments in the Research Institute. "

In the laughter from the audience, Simon added: "bright and George have made a lot of efforts for the film. I hope your questions will focus on the film as much as possible. If they go further, I won't answer them."

After Simon's warning, although there are more questions about Brett Ratner, some gossip in the screening hall is still hard to suppress.

However, when it came to relatively private topics, Simon stopped answering.

The audience in the spot has only one chance to ask questions, and they hit the wall several times, so no one can easily waste it.

The interaction lasted more than half an hour, and the premiere of "this man from Earth" came to an end at about 12:15.

In previous years, when movies premiered, they often had to wait until the next day to see the reviews.

With the popularity of the Internet in the United States, the speed of information transmission has also increased significantly. Less than 10 minutes after the premiere, the first group of film reviews for this man from the earth appeared on online forums and social platforms.

"I can't wait to see the genius like idea for a second time."

"Oh, I can't describe the shock this movie has brought me. It also let me know that movies never need all kinds of big stars and special effects, but extreme creativity. As long as your imagination is rich enough, even without any technical means, you can make a top science fiction film. Yes, "this man from Earth" is a science fiction, however, the film does not appear in any traditional science fiction common special effects techniques. Well, I can't reveal any more, but I swear to God, it's definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen. "

"Simon westero, who has 500 billion dollars, is Simon westero who made Lola Run."

"An amazing alternative science fiction movie."

“……”

Almost one-sided praise, of course, there is no lack of opposition.

A film critic on Facebook, who is certified as a columnist for the Seattle Times, criticized this man from earth as "a disappointing film full of Simon westero's crazy imagination".

Another free film critic, who also has more than 800000 fans on Facebook, is even more straightforward: "I'm sure this Simon westero self-made play, which is said to cost just over $1 million to make, will sell again, because it will once again remind the public of the peculiarities of Simon westero. However, from the perspective of film, it lacks sincerity. I think it will certainly be compared with "Twelve Angry Men" in the future. However, compared with the ideological depth of "Twelve Angry Men", this film really has no connotation and the story logic is far fetched

The original version of "this man from the earth", like the people very much, do not like the people also have a lot.

Simon's original intention of making this man from the earth is for fun, and perhaps a little further blurring the public's intention to speculate on him. He is also prepared for the media comments, both positive and negative. It is inevitable that there will be disputes over any film. In fact, these comments will not have much impact on Simon.

Now that we have done our best, we will give it to the audience.

After the premiere in the morning, having lunch with Redford and others, Simon returned to his peak villa south of Park City in the afternoon.Simon's time is not free. Celia Miller and Ken Dixon, who came back from Ukraine, specially came to park city. He needs to deal with some related affairs at any time.

And so on until evening.

Since the beginning of last year, this time in Park City, Simon held another hilltop villa party as usual, inviting many filmmakers to come.

This year, the total number of films participating and showing in Park City exceeded 200, and the overall quality was very good.

In addition to "this man is from the earth", a new director Edward Burns's "McMullen brothers" has entered the main feature film competition. This is a project recommended by Ang Lee's co producer James shams, who has signed a contract with gaomen pictures. The production cost is only $500000.

Once upon a time, "McMullen brothers" was the winner of the grand jury award of Sundance, and achieved very good business results.

In the past few years, Denise entertainment did not interfere in the results of the Sundance review. This time, Simon took the initiative to tell Radford that "this man from the earth" does not need any honor. I hope the jury will leave the opportunity to other films. It's a hint that this man from earth makes way for McMullen brothers.

After all, whether this man from the earth won the award or not has little influence on the commercial performance of the film, which is destined to attract too much attention. However, McMullen brothers can win a new cutting-edge filmmaker once again.

In addition to the two feature films, a fashion documentary "zipper down" entered the main documentary competition unit.

This is the video record of the creative director of American fashion brand lishikabang, Isaac Mizrahi, in the process of preparing a new season of clothing last year. Because lishikabang is a low-cost fashion brand, there is no competitive relationship with many luxury brands under melisandro, so gaomen film industry has accepted this cooperation. The documentary is jointly invested by lishikabang and gaomen film industry, and gaomen Film Co., Ltd The company is fully responsible for the operation of the issue.

In order to promote this brand, lishikabon has also made a lot of efforts. In the process of documentary shooting, Cindy Crawford, Linda evangelinsta, Naga Allman, Yasmin Garry, Tara banks, and qusi Goff and other first-line supermodels have appeared one after another. The park city exhibition also invited Cindy Crawford and other supermodels to help. The premiere of the film is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon.

Many supermodels show up in Park City, so the evening peak party will not be missed, so it also adds a bit of color to the gathering party of filmmakers.

In the morning, she called back to Miami, learned that things had changed, and relaxed. Bryce Levison stayed in the hilltop villa like a canary all day.

In the evening, she felt the excitement of the party downstairs. At first, she was worried about being recognized and embarrassed. She wanted to stay upstairs all the time, but she couldn't resist it. In addition, grace spotter, who was picked up by Simon in the afternoon, joined the party. She didn't want to fall behind and go downstairs quietly.

Then I found that I couldn't attract much attention among these familiar faces of the public. Those tall and beautiful supermodels shuttling through the party gave Bryce Levison a rare sense of inferiority. Even if the maintenance is good, her son is already 17 years old, she can't compare with these big goblins.

But thinking about what's going to happen tonight, Bryce Levison's mindset changes.

These big goblins show off one by one, not to attract the attention of a young man at the party, but she has done it.

No matter how goblin women are, men just don't like that type, do they?

With that in mind, Bryce Levison walked through the party crowd and found westero in an indoor bar booth.

The other party is chatting with several other people, with two models who are obviously flattering in their faces. They have seen it in fashion. It seems that their names are Tricia Schiffer and Patricia veraquez, both of whom are Vermeer angels. After a little hesitation, Bryce Levison stepped forward.
