Hollywood Rhapsody

The meeting with Smith opened a new door for Sarah—

Want to get in front of the camera?

Want to appear on the big screen?

Do you want to participate in those great and famous film works?

Do you want to get in touch with movie stars and directors who were once only silently admired?

miss you!

Of course I do!

why not?

The blood in Sarah's whole body was trembling with excitement at this moment. Today, Smith's astonishing eyes gave Sarah a lot of encouragement. The beauty left by her original body is indeed a very precious wealth, and it is also her capital to enter Hollywood. With opportunities, hard work, and hard work, what she thinks is actually not impossible, but where can she get more opportunities?

Sarah knew that it would be difficult to have a second Smith, a coincidence, and then the role would fall from the sky.Does she need to create opportunities for herself, attract more people's attention, stand on the street and perform performance art and wait for talent scouts?No, she has a sure-fire, risk-free shortcut.

Looking at the movie poster across the street, Sarah's eyes flickered, she had more than just a face.

Compared with the new field of acting, Sarah is at home in writing film reviews and predicting the box office, especially back in 1997, for Sarah, who has a superb memory, reliving her life is her golden finger, star?box office?awards?Countless crazy information lay quietly in her long river of memory. With the memory of nearly 20 years in the future, wouldn't it be a waste of money to use it unreasonably?

"Acting skills also take time to hone, so why not be a prophet before the real good opportunity comes!" Sarah's eyes stopped on the movie poster for a long time, and a bold movie review was already in her mind. The outline is listed.

In early July 1997, the movie "Men in Black" was released, and this sci-fi comedy made Sarah's first miraculous prediction as a "prophet".

But what Sarah didn't expect was that before her prediction shocked Hollywood filmmakers, she was stunned by a discovery——

The already excellent memory seems to have been "upgraded". Sarah's brain has stored all the memories of "Men in Black" as accurately as a computer. When she closes her eyes and thinks back, that movie seems to have appeared before her eyes. It was played in real time, and the box office data that had been counted was even accurate to two decimal places.

This kind of memory can no longer be described as "superior", it can be called against the sky!

"Why? Is this a big gift package for rebirth?" Sarah was puzzled by all this. "Could it be some reason that I ignored? Because of the severe brain injury and electric shock that caused my death?"

Zhu Yinuo, who received a high-quality education since she was a child, is very pure in the use of skills such as quick calculation, shorthand and memory palace, and her extraordinary memory has even reached the level of photographic memory. Until now, she can recite words and phrases in elementary school textbooks verbatim. However, this does not mean that she can accurately reproduce all known movie box office data, even to the decimal point, and it is even more impossible to completely reproduce the movie in her mind, so that every frame of the movie is clear , every line, every piece of soundtrack, as if I was really sitting in a movie theater and reliving it.

Sarah knew that she had a good memory, but it was by no means so heaven-defying, even beyond the scope of science, so when she realized the change in her memory, she was shocked while being pleasantly surprised, covering her heart for fear of the next The heart that has been speeding up in seconds will jump out of the chest.

Sarah licked her lips, as if she had just tasted a superb meal, until she quickly reviewed the five movies in her mind, accurately reported their box office, and recalled the nominations and awards for Oscars for three consecutive years. After a big meal, she accepted this rebirth gift package with a sense of happiness, rolled up her sleeves, and started to write her first film review with great enthusiasm.

"This is a time war. It is already the second day after the movie is released. Sending a letter to a newspaper does not guarantee that it will be published!" Sarah tapped her finger on the table, thought for nearly a minute, then grabbed the paper and ran. When I went downstairs, I was still muttering, "I don't know if I can successfully enter the newspaper office. Will they underestimate my age? How far has the Internet developed now?"

Three hours later, Sarah stood in front of the Los Angeles Times building and looked at the passing vehicles in a daze, with a slightly depressed expression.

"The newspaper already got the film critic's manuscript when the movie was previewed, so I'm sorry..." For a large daily that pays attention to timeliness, Sarah's arrival has already been labeled as "late". The prediction part of her film review was so bold that the section editor rejected her without even showing her face. Sarah only had time to hear "Sorry" from the other end of the phone, and the other party hung up the phone.In the end, she had no choice but to leave under the regretful gaze of the lady at the front desk.

In the building, editor Sam put down the phone with disdain, and laughed at Simultaneously: "It's only July, and this guy can even predict whether he will be nominated for an Oscar or win an Oscar! What a sensational lunatic!"

Although she was rejected by the Los Angeles Times, it didn't close Sarah's way. The newspapers couldn't do it, she still had the Internet!

Fortunately for Sarah, although computers had not yet been fully popularized in every household in 1997, the amount of information and usage on the Internet was not low, especially the page views of popular websites were very impressive. If movie reviews could be posted on the most popular Website, the effect is still worth looking forward to, and there are just a few computers in the library that Sarah can use.

Sarah was sitting in the cozy living room talking with her baby son, and she was planning how to earn some pocket money to buy a computer. After this experience, she realized that her previous thinking was too optimistic. There is an exclusive film critic, and the possibility of Sarah accumulating fame in a short period of time is very small, and the circulation of the tabloids is not enough. After weighing it up and down, she finds that the best way for her is still "old business"——Internet !

All right!Need to re-plan!Sarah exhaled, and suddenly had the illusion that she was about to go to the battlefield. First, she made a name for herself as a "prophet" on the Internet, and the content could be bolder.

"Honey, come and take a look at this movie review on the front page of the entertainment section, prophet? Although this author didn't use his real name, he wrote really well and was very bold. Break through 1 million, and the summer box office will reach about 2.5 million." In front of the "big head" monitor of an old-fashioned computer, Jada Pinkett Smith was staring at the screen and whispered:

"Wow, what a wonderful prophecy, let me see..." Will Smith, who had just finished exercising, was also aroused. Of course he was happy that his movie was predicted to be a big hit. He wiped the sweat from his body , leaned over, stared at the computer screen and exclaimed, "Hey guy, he actually predicted the Oscar! Three nominations, one award? This award analysis seems to be well-founded, as if it will really happen, Tsk tsk, it's a pity he didn't predict the best actor award."

Jada Pinkett Smith pushed a glass of juice to her husband, guessing: "Who is this author? Could it be arranged by the publisher? I guess he must love Rick Baker to death."

Legendary special effects master Rick Baker won the 70th Academy Award for Best Makeup for his superb craftsmanship in "Men in Black". Sarah also focused on the two aspects of directing and nominations for the best musical and comedy soundtrack, but it seems that this is not bright enough. Many people can see the highlights of the film, and what she wants is "one word" Amazing" effect.After some hesitation, Sarah boldly wrote her Oscar predictions, which would be more eye-catching than regular comments.

And the effect was as expected. When Sarah came to the library to open the webpage again, she stared at the computer screen and couldn't help rubbing her eyes. Her movie review actually appeared on the homepage. It was hard to ignore the bold and eye-catching title. The thousands of clicks displayed on the review page and nearly a hundred comments below are even more beyond Sarah's expectations. Although there are many doubts in the comments, many people agree with her analysis. Many netizens said that although the box office forecast is bold , but not necessarily impossible.

A debate about the box office and the Oscars has made the film reviews more and more lively, and this bold film review has also attracted more and more attention.Is it the grandstanding of boring people?Or is it a public relations tool for the movie?

With the screening of the movie, the box office predictions are becoming more and more convinced. The thousand-word film reviews of the prophets seem to have cast a mysterious light. Many movie fans and filmmakers are eagerly waiting for the arrival of the next Thursday. Can The Man in Clothes break through [-] million after a week?

When July 7 ended, "Men in Black" received a box office of 8 million on the seventh day of its release, and the cumulative box office reached 683 million, which was only one million away from 9840 million. And it was only Tuesday, the fifth day of the release of film reviews. Can "The Man in Clothes" win a box office of 100 million in the next two days?The answer is without a doubt!The [-] million box office prediction came true ahead of schedule, and the nickname "Prophet" quickly spread.

"Didn't you arrange PR? Is this really just a random comment by an unknown film critic?" Barry Sonnenfeld asked on the phone. As the director of "Men in Black", his work swept the summer vacation. One thing to be happy about, which is to say that the film itself is excellent, and that the release campaign is well done.

However, producer Laurie Macdonald did not dare to claim credit: "I also want to get to know this bold prophet, thank him for his high recognition of "Men in Black", it is hard to say that our [-] million box office performance How much of it is because of this movie review? Overnight it seems that everyone is discussing the accuracy of his prophecy, and everyone walks into the theater excitedly just to confirm for themselves that the movie is really that interesting? Does Rick Baker Are you really qualified to win the Oscar for Best Makeup?"

But where is this bold and mysterious seer now?

At this time, Sam, the editor of the Los Angeles Times, was also thinking about this question. Compared with those who were curious about the prophet but had no clue, he obviously knew more information and had more complicated emotions.

"Is that contributor really just a little girl? Did she leave her contact information? She..." Sam couldn't help asking Sarah's colleague at the front desk for the nth time.

And the other party also rolled his eyes for the nth time, frowning impatiently and interrupted Sam: "Poor Sam, enough is enough, if you regret that you missed that prophet, go to her and leave a message on the website Why don't you just contact her? If you ask me a thousand times like this, it's impossible for her to show up!"

"I...who said I didn't try? But no matter whether it's a message or an email, I guess, my arrogance seems to have offended the prophet behind that girl." Sam was dejected, wondering if he should write another Try an email.

He didn't know that his email was just not checked, because the prophet he was thinking of was seriously studying his role on a certain set, preparing for his own screen debut.
