[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

On the other hand, Fopper and Chris handed over the important decision of choosing an egg provider to Chris' mother.Fopper, on the other hand, needs to continue to get back to work, because the big premiere of "Blowout Drummer" is about to begin.

Because it's the movie Disney is trying its best at this year, the premiere of "Rapture Drummer" this time is simply huge.It's as if the movie is a commercial.Although Disney understands that no matter how high the box office of "Burst Drummer" is, it will not exceed [-] million US dollars, and even the cost may not be recovered.But after all, this movie can be regarded as a signal, a sign.

Why can Disney be ranked among the top six film companies?Not that Disney's movies are any better.But in some film fields, other film companies are not as good as Disney.This field is the animated film.

Yes, basically Disney doesn't make movies other than animated ones.Even if it is filmed, it is aimed at teenagers.Take High School Musical, for example.After the acquisition of Goldfinger Films, Disney's strategy needs to change.After all, a large part of the movie resources owned by Goldfinger Films are pg-13 movies.It might even be rated as an R-rated movie.Therefore, what Disney needs to do is to expand to the normal film field without losing the original animated film.This can be regarded as their pioneering work.Therefore, "Burst Drummer", a masterpiece after the acquisition of Goldfinger Film Company, has received attention.

China Grand Theatre, "Burst Drummer" premiered in this well-known theater.It is enough to prove how high the expectations of "Burst Drummer" are.After all, for the premiere of a film, not especially a literary film.Use the China Grand Theater as a venue that pays attention to hosting Oscars.It's a bit overkill.

After glamorously walking into the venue with Fopper, Chris lightly touched Fopper's arm with his hand, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Why do I feel that you are nervous?"

"It's okay." Fopper responded to Chris with a smile.Now Fopper doesn't know how to express his feelings.In fact, "Burst Drummer" put a lot of chips on him.

The whole Hollywood and even the whole world knew that Fopper was talented and young.Not even cancer can stop him.Even if he doesn't succeed in hitting the Oscars this year, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future, but only he knows that's not the case, and he doesn't have much time. After 2010, all Oscars will be biographical films.If you don't take advantage of the current time to work hard for the Olympics.Fopper felt that the chances of himself competing for an Oscar with a bunch of great people were really slim.

"I think you're really nervous." He touched Fopper's cheek with his hand: "I'm filming "Fantastic Four 2" during this period, and the time we spend together seems a bit short. But I'm shooting for you I still know about the situation of the movie. Yu Qing said that you are too hardworking. I don’t know who you are? You are most afraid of trouble. You will never use six points to do things that can be done well with five points. If not This time there is really no bottom, you will never do this."

"Well... I just think that the movie "Rapture Drummer" is a really good opportunity. So I'm going to take it."

"You got it, honey." Chris said softly, "I am amazed by your performance inside. I will never be able to reach your level..."

"You can say more about this kind of compliment, I love to hear it..." Fopper raised the corners of his mouth to Chris.But Mai did not wait for him to continue to say anything, the whole hall suddenly became dark, and this move represented the beginning of the premiere.So Chris and Fopper stopped talking, but focused on the big screen.

"..." Although he had watched the movie many times, when it came to the premiere, Fopper still felt his heart pounding.

"..." Without saying anything, Fopper felt Chris grab his hand in the dark.A warm hand wrapped his hand.Made him feel a little relieved.

The rapid drumbeat sounded, changing from slow to fast. Such a simple drumming sound seemed to have magical powers, making people's heartbeats involuntarily faster following the drumbeat.But when everyone followed the drumming, the drumming stopped suddenly, and then there was a shot of Fopper practicing drums alone in a dim rehearsal room. Watch him adjust the drum stand, and then the whole person starts to play a rhythm smoothly.

The rhythm of this section is not fast or complicated, but many film critics present have already shown a look of surprise, because this long shot is pushed up close, and it can be seen that it is Fopper who is really driving the drum kit, not What a stuntman.

But just when people with insight were admiring Fopper's performance, Fopper in the picture stopped in panic, and then said loudly: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

The camera turned around, and a man in a black suit walked out of the oppressive and dark corridor. The light fell from the top of his head, and his face could not be seen clearly, as if he was an underground creature born from the darkness.And when the man completely walked to the door, everyone held their breath.Seeing the handsome face of Ralph Fiennes did not bring much relief to people.On the contrary, this handsome gloom made people feel even more depressed.It seems that the youthful and inspirational feeling shown by Fopper just now was covered by a dark light, and the whole space became a little tense.

"Very good." Slowly pursing his lips, Ralph said, "You know I'm looking for a musician, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Fopper replied nervously.

"Then why don't you fight?"

"Oh, okay!" Fopper seemed to realize something, and then continued to beat the drums.And Ralph looked at him quietly as if admiring this.

"He's doing a good job," one film critic told those around him.It was not Fopper who was right, but Ralph.In just a few minutes, the pressure brought by Ralph was felt by everyone.As if he was Andrew sitting in front of the drum stand, it was unsettling.This is an exceptional rendering power.

But the plot continued, and it was different from the gloomy professor named Fletcher who was expected to discover the talent of the young Andrew and then extended a helping hand. After mocking Andrew with his strength, Professor Fletcher left without hesitation. up.At this time, people also began to realize that this movie may be different from ordinary inspirational movies.

Following the camera, people began to understand the life of this young man named Andrew.This young man was very ordinary. He walked around the academy alone, watching the performances of the band members through the crack of the door, and then he could only practice in front of the drum stand when the others were away.He has no friends, and Asians are always ridiculed and excluded in school.No one wants to make contact with him.At night, he would buy fast food at the shop where the girl he liked worked part-time. He secretly looked at the girl more, but he didn't dare to say anything... Just a few pictures, he portrayed an ugly duckling character that is very common in the United States.Of course, he was rendered more realistic by the director.And because Fopper is Asian, a racial element was added to it.

No one was watching him, but he was still listening to the master's recording and working hard quietly.The movie portrays Andrew's diligence and envy of others all the time, and of course his own inferiority complex.Seeing this, everyone felt that it was time for Andrew to start meeting an opportunity.And the plot also developed in this way. The well-known music conductor Fletcher chose him in a selection of musicians.

Everyone felt a little happy to be here.But after being happy, they all got a little boring.After all, it is really a bad street for a famous teacher to choose jade in the rough.In most of the stories, the protagonist has a teacher who loves him, teaches him, and when necessary, guides him with his own life.It's a mindless sense of fate changing.Although very warm.But many people think in their hearts: 'Look, as long as you work hard, you will succeed, how easy it is to say.The following plot should be that the pair of masters and apprentices join forces to participate in competitions and win honors one after another balabala...'

Andrew in the movie thought so too.Now he is not only in his dream band, but also confessed to the girl he likes and got accepted.He felt that everything in his life seemed so fresh.But as Andrew went deeper, he found that the people in the orchestra were different from what he had imagined. They didn't have any expression of pride and enjoyment that he expected. Every face of them was tense, with tension and even pain. look.

The moviegoers also felt the change in the atmosphere, and just when they were wondering, there was a small sound of pushing the door.And all of a sudden, all the band members sat up straight, as if they were soldiers being inspected by the king, with nervousness.The room that had some sound became silent.

Fletcher, dressed in black, walked in. The movie gave him a long shot. He took off his hat gently and hung his coat on the hanger. Without a single line or exaggerated expression, he walked slowly. walked to the front of the podium, but it was just such a movement, and everyone couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously.

'This...doesn't seem to be the same as expected? ' People are thinking like this in their hearts.

And the fact is the same, Fletcher in the movie is not a life mentor, but a devil.He ruthlessly destroyed a student's confidence in music, and he also unabashedly swayed his malice.The inexplicable sense of fear made people feel oppressed like a dark cloud cover, making the whole movie theater heavy.

"Do you know that you are out of tune?" He forced everyone to play one by one, just because he felt that one of them was a little out of tune when playing together.

"Yes... yes..." The trumpeter's little fat man had tears in his eyes, he was timid and fragile, like a harmless little animal that needs encouragement and needs love and care.

"Then you...damn you still don't say a word!" The little fat trumpeter was driven away by Fletcher before everyone could react.With his harsh and merciless words.

But when the audience hadn't reacted, Fletcher whispered softly to his beloved apprentice Andrew during the break, telling him to relax, you are talented and selected.Such a situation makes everyone think that this Fletcher is a guy who likes geniuses and hates mediocrity.And the main character is obviously a very talented young man.Although such a role also gives people a sense of disgust, after all, most people are ordinary people.But if the plot requires it, people will understand.Because this is the only way to express Andrew's difference.

But in less than a minute, the audience who thought this way were slapped in the face.Because Andrew in the movie was just out of time, Fletcher started slapping him to count the time.In the entire theater, Andrew could only be heard tremblingly counting: "1, 1, 2, 3" and the crisp applause.

Fletcher slapped Andrew's face with his hands, and scolded Andrew: "Your mother ran away with someone else after she found out that you and your father were worthless!" The softest thing.

And seeing this scene, people suddenly discovered that the warmth just now was just a way for Fletcher to take advantage of the other party's weakness.He knows the weaknesses of all the students well, so the words that come out of his mouth are piercing, reaching the deepest part of the soul...

"This..." Seeing this, some film critics were a little puzzled: 'Isn't this movie a promotion for Fopper?But for Ralph? 'After all, the best character in the whole movie right now is Ralph as Fletcher.Although Fopper portrayed Andrew's psychological performance vividly.But in the final analysis, this movie has gradually drifted to the situation where the supporting characters shine.Everyone was attracted by Fletcher.

'Let's take another look.Maybe there is a turning point...' the film critic thought.But most people regard "Burst Drummer" as another "Scent of a Woman".

why would you say so?Because "Scent of a Woman" is like this. In fact, the protagonist of "Scent of a Woman" at the beginning is not Al Pacino, but Chris O'Donnell, who is the college student Charlie in it.But Al Pacino's performance was so good and so perfect.The halo completely overwhelmed Al Pacino's Charlie.It makes the hero of the movie become a character who leads to the main plot.Became a complete disaster.According to the current development, Andrew played by Fopper also has this trend.Although Fopper's powerful acting skills control the scene, it is not far from collapse.

And while the film critics in the audience were writing, drawing, and brainstorming, the story on the screen continued.After another conflict between Andrew and Fletcher, both of them completely fell into the trough of life and became nothing.

Fletcher, who was too severe, was investigated by the orchestra because of the suicide of a former student. After being reported and complained, he was kicked out of the orchestra.

And Andrew, after a failed performance, completely quit the music academy, his eyes were full of inferiority, and he no longer had that kind of energy.

'Stop beating the drums! '

'It's all like this, what's the point! '

'Like Fletcher said, you're a worthless man! '

All kinds of negative emotions are flooding Andrew’s type.And of course, he gave up.

"I'd rather die for a musician and die at the age of 34 and be remembered by others than to have a wealthy family and live a safe life without being known." The scene of Andrew and his family confronting each other before flashed across the screen.Compared with Andrew's ordinary life now, it makes people feel disappointed.Andrew's brown eyes also slowly turned gray, as if he had lost the shell of his soul.People suddenly discovered that Andrew, without Fletcher, seemed to be doing nothing like ordinary people.

At this time, people slowly began to look forward to the appearance of that evil Fletcher.And the story has developed to this point, for many film critics, there are no surprises.In fact, the development of the plot seems to be as expected by the film critics. Andrew finally met Fletcher again, and the two smiled in front of the same music they love. Andrew finally got a chance to prove himself at the music festival.

"Very well, in the last scene, Fletcher must have saved Andrew, a happy ending..." The film critic Edson thought this way, and his pen recorded it like this.

What happened on the screen was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

On the performance stage of the music festival, Andrew put on his most precious and handsome clothes and stood in front of the drum set.He looked around nervously and excitedly.Rubbed his hands on his thighs.Although there is no psychological description.But everyone knows that he is nervous and excited now.

At this time, Fletcher came over and smiled at him. Andrew didn't know why, but he also smiled nervously at him.But Fletcher suddenly opened his mouth and said speciously: "Do you think I'm a fool? I know you're the one who made the whistleblower!" Fletcher turned around and left after saying something without any reason.Left Andrew with a blank mind.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to this festival. I am one of the best conductors in New York, Fletcher. And they are also the best bands in the United States, and even the best bands in the world. Here , we first present an upswing for you, I hope you will like it!"

upswing?

wtf? !

Andrew looked at the sheet music on his shelf.Obviously, this is not the score to be played.Looking at Fletcher's figure.He understood that this was his revenge for his denunciation to the school.

But Fletcher didn't give him a chance, and directly announced the start of the performance.What is it like to play without score?Andrew told you, what a mess!

"It seems that you really don't have any talent!" At the end of the song, Fletcher walked in front of Andrew and said lightly.It was that familiar sense of oppression and evil again.But this time, it was strangely embarrassing and humiliating.

Looking at the eyes of the audience, Andrew slowly walked out of the stage, took off the coat he had carefully prepared, and threw it on the ground.As if preparing to escape from this space.And his father also caught up with him, and then held Andrew in his arms.

"Let's go, let's go home." After hugging for a while, Andrew's father said to him.

"..." Without speaking, Andrew looked at his father and made a move that surprised everyone. He turned around and slowly walked back towards the stage.

"What do you want to do?" His father's eyes were full of puzzlement.

"..." Andrew didn't speak. The black corridor and black back seemed to represent his feelings that he would never look back!

"..." He silently returned to his drum kit.Then raised the drum stick, and Andrew made a gesture of raising his hands.And Fletcher, who saw Andrew's movements on this side, didn't say anything. Instead, he turned his head and faced the audience in the audience, ready to speak.

"Then... bang bang bang!" Fletcher had just opened his mouth when a series of rapid drumming sounded.Angry drumbeats, like a storm, followed the drumbeats, all emotions, all those thoughts, were completely controlled by Andrew's body, expression, and drumming performance.

"Wait for me to give you a hint, caravan!" Ignoring Fletcher, Andrew said to the cellist next to him.But the movement in his hand didn't stop.

"Two, three, four!" At Andrew's try, the cellist subconsciously began to play.And with the addition of the cellist.The other band members also started to play.

"I. Fuck you. Mom!" Looking at Fletcher, Andrew suddenly said such a sentence silently.

Fletcher had no time to say anything at this time.Because he was trying to lead the band, to regain control of the band.But after directing for a while, Fletcher discovered that the control of the band was completely controlled by Andrew.

"I'll gouge your eyes out." Walking up to Andrew, Fletcher threatened him.But what responded to him was Andrew's violent drum sound.

"..." Fletcher reluctantly returned to the podium, making useless command gestures.But at this time, his face was no longer gloomy and depressed, but a smile appeared on his face.

The classic caravan is played.Just as Fletcher was about to finish his speech, the drumming didn't stop.

"What the hell are you thinking?!" Fletcher came to Andrew again.

"I said, listen to my prompt!" Andrew continued to beat the drums like a storm.Sweat has soaked his whole body.But Andrew didn't care about it at this time.He put his heart and soul into it.A little bit of red has gradually splashed out on the drum stand.But Andrew didn't pay attention, even Fletcher who returned to the podium didn't pay attention.Because of his smile, he fought more and more.His palm kept up with Andrew's rhythm, as if he was controlling him, then slowly raised, and at the climax of the drum beat, it fell suddenly.

At the same time as Fletcher's hand fell, the performance of the entire orchestra sounded again...
