the world is at stake

As the news spread, even Hollywood in California paid attention to the frenzy of public opinion caused by this movie.A large number of film critics use sporadic information to criticize, which is basically not a good word.

"The Motion Picture Association of America is trying to mobilize public opinion and block this film. Those old antiques have attracted many authority figures and government officials, and are preparing to put pressure on us."

Sun Luoji has no foundation in the film industry, but he has some backing in the political arena.He appeared in front of Minister Marshall as a producer, asking for help.

"Rep. McCarthy just accepted a TV interview with ABC. He said that 'beauties love heroes' is a normal thing, and the role of an American hero representing justice can break some rules."

Marshall frowned at the name 'McCarthy'.The two sides are currently at odds, fighting fiercely.But now the media has finally stopped messing with the Ministry of National Defense, and the Minister of Defense does not want to cause extra problems.

For politicians, how about a movie with a little bit of sex between a man and a woman?Just see if it can bring convenience to yourself.Marshall was noncommittal, only saying that he would continue to assist in the filming of the film and wished it all the best.

Since the Secretary of Defense didn't say anything, Sun Luoji left the Pentagon happily.He immediately called the media reporter, "Tomorrow there will be a picture of the bombing of the White House on the front page."

Discussion within the crew, if a government building is really going to be bombed, bombing the White House will undoubtedly have the greatest impact.So a certain climax of the plot is when the villain blows up the White House.

So on the next day, the front pages of several major newspapers across the United States were full of a photo of the White House being bombed into ruins.The details of the photos are extremely realistic, the ruins are clearly visible, and even the interior of the bombed-out building is in line with the real thing.

It is also thanks to the fact that Zhou Qingfeng secretly mobilized enough bigwigs for the media to cooperate so well.Especially the mad dog McCarthy has done a lot.This guy actually wanted to 'leave his name in history', and he did.

There is not much description under the photo. The newspaper only said that the film "American Hero" used a lot of shooting techniques that had never been seen before. This is true, after all, the bombing of the White House has never happened before.

The first movie to blow up the White House was "Independence Day" in 96. Zhou Qingfeng advanced this gimmick by almost half a century.This concept is absolutely absolutely shocking at the moment, more shocking to Yankees than any nudity.

Seeing the photos of the destruction of the White House, many people were unable to maintain their rationality. They almost thought that the United States was really invaded by foreign enemies-the public opinion in the United States was like a volcanic eruption.

People called the police to ask questions, causing the government's phone number to act like a hotline.Someone asked the newspaper for verification, hoping to know the truth.Some people even drove outside the White House to check, and compared the photos, they became more confused.

No matter what, this bad movie has been hyped up, Zhou Qingfeng thinks it should be able to make some money, "At least it won't lose money, it can make a million or so."

Chapter 80 Can This Be Called a Bad Movie?

In August 51, after more than half a year of tossing, Chinese scientists studying in the United States finally returned to China after going through many twists and turns.Along with them, there are tens of thousands of tons of scientific instruments and academic literature.

In August, North Korea, which had been silent for several months, rekindled the flames of war. The newly appointed Li Qiwei straightened out the command system of the US military in the Far East, broke the tacit understanding of the armistice negotiations, and decided to try how powerful the volunteers on the opposite side were?

Also in August, 'MacArthur' who was ordered to return home was forcibly retired and expelled from the military.Just as unlucky as him are more than a dozen people from the 'Brotherhood', all of whom are under residential surveillance.

But these are not noticeable.

At the end of August, the filming of Uncle Zhou's bad movie was finished, and a preliminary edit was made.He's not very good at making movies, but the propaganda offensive has caused unrest in the United States.

American conservatives and radicals are arguing with each other because the movie is rumored to be outright provoking the 'Hays Code'.There is no need to deliberately fan the flames, the Americans themselves divided into two factions and quarreled.

In this context, Zhou Qingfeng made a "director's cut" of his bad movie and sent it to the White House—President Truman was actually quite curious when he learned that the White House was bombed in the movie, and wanted to see it first.

Watching the film together are more than a dozen American politicians who show their faces in the film, all of which have a few seconds or a dozen seconds of footage.

It has only been five or six years since the end of World War II, and there are not many related blockbusters. Being able to play yourself in person is quite a novel experience for many big shots, and it is also quite precious.

In the White House auditorium, the president sits in the front row, followed by cabinet ministers.As the main creator, Zhou Qingfeng and several leading actors were present.

Before the screening, the leading actors stepped forward to be interviewed by the president.

Needless to say, Zhou Qingfeng, he and Lena were transferred from the Ministry of Defense.Are there two more heroines?

"This is Grace Kelly, who plays the female FBI agent in the film." Sun Luoji was in charge of the introduction, leading out a beautiful girl.

The girl was only in her early twenties, delicate and elegant, with a good face, passionate and reserved in her conversation.She has participated in some stage plays and TV series before, and it is the first time to make a movie.

His acting skills are relatively poor.But pretty is really pretty, cold beauty.

President Truman saw the poster and was impressed by the girl.Sun Luoji took half a step back after the introduction, and happened to be standing with Zhou Qingfeng.

"Is Princess Monaco fun?" Sun Luoji asked in a low voice.

"What?" Zhou Qingfeng looked puzzled, "What princess?"

Sun Luoji turned his head slightly, and whispered in surprise: "The photos of you and Kelly kissing, touching your buttocks and pinching your chest spread all over the United States. Every man is jealous of you. Don't tell me, you don't know who Kelly is?"

Zhou Qingfeng showed a puzzled expression, "Isn't this the unknown little actor you found? I just hooked up with her a few times, and no one told me what kind of princess she is. Where did the princess come from?"

Sun Luoji was stunned, sure that Zhou Qingfeng really didn't know Grace Kelly, who was not yet famous - although this sister is not famous now, she will win the Oscar for Best Actress in a few years.

What is more famous is that after Grace Kelly won the Oscar statuette, she immediately married the Prince of Monaco and became the princess of a small country in southern Europe.This is really a leap into the rich.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Zhou had been filming with this girl for two months, and he only regarded her as a young actor.

Sun Luoji was very excited when he found this girl, and he was secretly proud.But now facing Uncle Zhou's bewildered expression, he wanted to explain but was suddenly powerless, so he thought for a long time and only asked one sentence

"Is it tight?"

Zhou Qingfeng frowned, "It's not bad, the thighs are quite strong."

"When did you hook up?"

"On the day of filming the car speed scene, it was raining, and I broke into her dressing room by mistake. At first she resisted a little, but then she almost broke my waist when she rode on my body."

"Break in by mistake? Believe in you to be a ghost."

Sun Luoji shook his head and sighed, there was one less goddess in his mind.

Grace Kelly chatted with the president for a few minutes, and then had a good laugh with the bigwigs present.His pretty face won the favor of everyone present.

But when Kelly went to shake hands with Eisenhower, another heroine who played the 16-year-old girl behind her jumped out and greeted Truman.

"Hello, Mr. President. My name is Elizabeth Taylor." The third heroine in the movie is actually 19 years old, but she is full of girlishness, her appearance is perfect enough, and her figure is also good.

Zhou Qingfeng and Sun Luoji both sighed when the dazzling heroine ran out.Uncle Zhou didn't know Grace Kelly, but he had heard of Elizabeth Taylor anyway.

The Hollywood movie queen is still a dainty doll.She was not a character chosen by Zhou Qingfeng, but was inserted into the crew through McCarthy's channel.

The reason is that Zhou Qingfeng's bad film is becoming more and more influential, and even the blind can feel that its leading actor must be attracting attention.Now Taylor doesn't have much acting skills, a typical vase, indeed a beautiful enough vase.

Sun Luoji asked again in a low voice, "Is this tight?"

Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "I don't know."

"How is it possible? Will you let her go?"

"I'm only sure that her ventriloquist is okay, I haven't tried the others yet."

Sun Luoji rolled his eyes and cursed in a low voice: "Boss, you are such a scum."

Zhou Qingfeng also rolled his eyes, "Speaking of which, I actually prefer Kelly, who has a cold temperament, and I don't like Taylor too much. But this girl is very enthusiastic, and she came to me between filming. Due to time constraints, so"

Sun Luoji didn't want to hear it anymore, another goddess turned into a mortal.He just sighed, fortunately Vivien Leigh, Hepburn, Bergman and others have been famous for a long time, so it is impossible to come to Zhou Qingfeng's small crew with no money.

But it's hard to say later.

After getting to know the main creators, the film began to be screened.

Completely different from the current Hollywood's slow-paced narrative style, Zhou Qingfeng's bad film created a tense atmosphere at the beginning - not because he deliberately did so, but because he subconsciously felt that it should be so.

The first thing that appears on screen is a helicopter that rumbles as it prepares to land, and the camera looks down on the Pentagon.This scene is quite novel, and there are few people in Hollywood who shoot like this.

Next, the German female spy played by Lena sneaked into the Pentagon. The shot of shaking her hips and walking made the projection room extraordinarily quiet, only the sound of high-heeled shoes stepping on the speakers.

Deliberately shooting the curves of women's buttocks, one can imagine what kind of sensation it will cause when it is released.

The plot advances gradually, and soon Zhou Qingfeng's character will appear.

This one doesn't know how to act at all, and can only rely on his true colors to prop up the picture.He was framed and fled for his life less than 5 minutes into the game, racing on the streets of Washington.

These days, no one in Hollywood knows how to shoot drag racing scenes, and all the dynamic shots are terrible.In contrast, Zhou Qingfeng actually shot the drag racing, the camera was set up on the car he was driving, and the results were extremely real.

With the tense soundtrack, Zhou Qingfeng on the screen drives a car to escape the pursuit of the FBI.The movement of vehicles colliding, braking suddenly, and turning is particularly exciting.

The roar of the engine and the sound of metal twisting sounded in the projection hall, making one's heart jump involuntarily.

There was a scene of two cars colliding with each other that was so realistic that it shocked President Truman and Secretary Marshall who were sitting in the first row.I don't know who said "ah", which caused the screening to be interrupted, and several special agents ran over.

"Mr. President, are you all right?"

Secret Service saw that Truman was sweating on his forehead, and other political leaders almost had a heart attack—it was the first time watching such an intense action movie, and the old men in their decades were extremely uncomfortable.

Truman laughed at himself in embarrassment, then turned to look at Zhou Qingfeng in the back seat, "Major Chanders, how did you take such a dangerous shot?"

Danger?

The action movies of later generations are just ordinary car chases, with bad street techniques.

Zhou Qingfeng felt that his bad movies had no characteristics.He shrugged, spread his hands and said, "During filming, the camera is fixed on the vehicle. I just drive and do what the director wants."

Easier said than done.

The not-so-famous director was right next to Zhou Qingfeng, and couldn't help but blush slightly and wanted to bow his head - such scenes like speed car chases were not in his consideration at all, and no one in Hollywood would shoot them.It was Zhou Qingfeng who had to join the filming plan.

The result of the shooting shocked all the crew members hired from Hollywood. No one had ever dared to shoot the same kind of shots so hard before. Occasionally, some driving scenes were fake.

Zhou Qingfeng doesn't know how to make movies, but he has seen a lot of movies.

"Read [-] Tang poems by heart, even if you don't know how to compose poems, you can chant."

Under the guidance of Uncle Zhou, the aesthetics of violence was born, and it is vividly displayed in this bad movie.An ordinary vehicle seems to have a soul in his hands, turning into a living thing that can be grasped and controlled freely.

Zhou Qingfeng is very familiar with things that others cannot do.

Hundreds of vehicles were destroyed during the two-month filming.If it weren't for the second-hand military vehicles donated by the 'Post-War Property Administration', the production crew would have gone bankrupt just by the consumption of vehicles.

Most of the crew members brought in by the old Baker were extremely down-and-out in Hollywood, and they often didn't make a name for themselves after working for more than ten or twenty years.But this time they came to Washington, apart from following the rules to make films, they just followed Zhou Qingfeng to broaden their horizons.

Many concepts that are not worth mentioning or commonplace in Zhou Qingfeng's eyes were innovations that broke the mold and conventions decades ago, and were breakthroughs in film art.

As long as any filmmaker learns a little bit on the set, he can become famous in exchange for fame—but even so, Uncle Zhou still feels that he has made a bad movie.

The more calm Zhou Qingfeng behaved, the more others looked up to him.Regardless of how they viewed him before, the dozen or so bosses in the screening room all favor him now.

show continues

After the tense car chase, the plot slows down a bit, adding some suspense factors.The female FBI agent played by Grace Kelly appeared on the stage, tracking clues and targeting the protagonist played by Zhou Qingfeng.

The girl played by Elizabeth Taylor also appeared on the stage. As a key witness, she was hunted down for a while and rescued for a while.As the villain's boss hiding in the dark, Lena is glamorous and ruthless, sometimes tender and affectionate to the hero, and sometimes secretly murderous.

During this period, a little gag comedy characters are added to relax the audience, and there are also a lot of scenes of undressing and bathing, beautiful women getting wet, lovers being emotional, etc., which make men's blood boil.

The tone of the whole movie is just one word - cool!

Two-thirds of the film was played, and a group of big shots appeared one after another, surrounding President Roosevelt to make various decisions about World War II.Just when the bosses joked about their image in the movie, the White House was suddenly blown up by the villains.

Ah, the building representing the symbol of the United States flew directly into the sky, and most of the rest were fragmented and incomplete.

The explosion was thrilling, and it came too suddenly, and there were bursts of exclamations in the auditorium.The screening had to be stopped again, the lights came on and Secret Service agents ran in again.

All cabinet members, including the president, have strange faces.They turned and looked back, staring at the no-nonsense director from Hollywood.

The director was not afraid of the president, but there was a hidden boss like Edgar Hoover among the big bosses. He couldn't help being excited, pointing at Zhou Qingfeng and shouting: "Actually, the director of this movie is Chandler." The idea of ​​blowing up the White House, Major, was his idea."

The eyes of the bosses turned to Zhou Qingfeng again, and they all felt that they had encountered strange talents, wizards, and geniuses—this drama looked simple, but it actually created an era.

Zhou Qingfeng also smiled and spread his hands, "I just offered some suggestions, I hope you will like this bad movie."

bad movie?

President Truman whispered: "If this is a bad movie, what are those in Hollywood? I can guarantee that this movie will definitely become a classic."

Zhou Qingfeng chuckled, but he still insisted on his point of view in his heart—it was obvious that you bumpkins were too low-spirited, and I almost fell asleep for a long time.

Chapter 81 A Blockbuster

Those who pay attention to a sense of novelty, a form of expression that would be commonplace a few decades later, would be astonishing a few decades ago.

Zhou Qingfeng felt like dozing off, but the other audience in the White House auditorium were unwilling to give up for a second——a low-cost movie made in two months, the plot was very tight, the rhythm was bright, the relaxation was moderate, and the climax came one after another Wave.

Even the erotic scenes are shot very beautifully.Lighting, atmosphere, background, every factor is provocative.Even in bed scenes, it is lewd but not lewd, vulgar and elegant.

After all, Zhou Qingfeng has seen and seen too many old-fashioned people like this.What is easy to pass the review, where is the bottom line of the review, they know.

In the movie, the bombing of the White House became the darkest moment of the plot.The audience's emotions were suppressed to the extreme, and the male protagonist brazenly gave up his emotions to release them. After tracking down the real culprit, he entered the final boss showdown.

The gunfight scene going deep into the devil's nest is completely Zhou Qingfeng's stage.

On the screen, there was machine gun fire, rocket launcher bombardment, and finally driving a truck to collide.

Even if it is a small pistol, it is necessary to use a slow motion to show the accuracy of the marksmanship, or use precise editing to reorganize several ordinary shots, which greatly boosts the sense of refreshment.

This is audiovisual magic.

More than a dozen political leaders who watched the test screening either commanded World War II or participated in World War I. They loved the scenes of fists to flesh, blood on the knife, and deadly guns.

With the final explosion, the male lead, who had overcome all obstacles, walked to the threshold of victory with all his injuries, and cheers erupted in the screening room.

Even the old guys in their tens of years felt that they had had enough, and couldn't help applauding to congratulate the main creators in the back row.

Grandmasters, masters, geniuses, groundbreaking achievements, classics destined to go down in history, masterpieces that are bound to spark moviegoing frenzy, record-breaking box-office pinnacles

There are endless words of praise.

The poor director was about to shed tears.Old Baker hadn't called him that.It was another well-known director who felt that this movie must be rushed, and he, a downcast, got the opportunity.
