Chapter 2145 2145 Quietly screened
"Beautiful Mind" was scheduled to be released at the end of the year, but it was actually a last resort. The work was filmed in June and the post-production was completed in early September. It was originally scheduled to be released in mid-October. I hope to impact the relatively cold autumn period. As we all know, the performance of Hugo's works in the autumn period has always been eye-catching.
However, after the internal trial, it was found that the editing of some plots seemed too slow, which affected the overall rhythm of the film. After discussion, Lang Howard also agreed with this statement, so he decided to re-adjust that part of the plot. In this way, the release schedule had to be pushed back.
This made the release schedule of "Beautiful Mind" scheduled on December 17, becoming a member of the awards season.
In fact, since the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" is still outstanding on the list, this work still ranks fifth on the North American box office list in the first week of December, and the release boom has not weakened at all. Therefore, when "Beautiful Mind" is about to be released, people did not realize that another Hugo work was released.
"Beautiful Mind" is defined as a plot and biographical movie, which is exactly the same as "Schindler's List". Therefore, DreamWorks decided to follow the distribution strategy of "Schindler's List" to allow "Beautiful Mind" to start from preview and wait until the movie gains sufficient recognition before gradually expanding.
This is also the second time that Hugo has made a work from preview after four years since the "Death Prison Walk".
However, the preview of "Death-infernal Walk" created an unimaginable enthusiasm for watching movies, and the situation of supply and demand is still talked about by people. It is definitely not easy for the "beautiful soul" to replicate this grand occasion. However, judging from DreamWorks' strategy, they did not intend to hold a grand premiere in a grand grand manner to attract more attention.
"Beautiful Mind" was previewed on December 17th at the Eleventh Cinema. The film was the first to hold a small preview on the 13th. There were less than 300 viewers who received invitations, including 60 media reporters, 50 professional film critics, 60 industry-related people, and 100 lucky local audiences in Los Angeles. It can be said that it is a very private internal preview.
This preview did not do any form of publicity in the media, and no one received the news even for the young volcanoes that paid the most. It was just spread in the Hollywood industry, so the internal preview was not too lively on the day, and it was more like a carnival party that took place inside Hollywood.
Although almost no one outside knows about this, it has caused an uproar insider for those who can receive invitations, which are considered to be the real authoritative figures in the industry at present. This is not only an opportunity to establish a good relationship with Hugo, but also an opportunity to establish a good relationship with DreamWorks and elite brokerage companies. Even top tycoons like Kevin Pence, Shirley Lansing, Mark Canton, and Barry Mayer attended the internal preview in person. Who would like to miss such an opportunity?
Unintentionally, the "beautiful soul" once again became a topic in the industry. However, this time, even Hugo didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing.
Since the movie is only held for premiere this week, this means that there is no premiere and the scenes of Hugo and Charlize who are still looking forward to the premiere will not appear. At this time, the reporters can only complain, "Fortunately, the 'Supernatural Sixth Sense' makes up for such regrets." There is no other way.
However, at the internal preview, Hugo and Charlize undoubtedly attended the event together.
"Hugo, tell me honestly, is it because you don't want the media to hype your relationship again?" Nicholas McClellan looked at the beautiful couple standing in front of him with a smile. It can be seen that both of them were in a very good mood.
This question immediately made Hugo look surprised, as if saying "Why do you have such a ridiculous idea?" Nicholas spread his hands, "To be honest, you even arranged an internal preview to avoid attending the preview ceremony of the movie. It was like a private party. Even if people were gossiping, they would not dare to talk to you in front of you."
Hugo and Charlize looked at each other, then showed a sudden enlightenment expression. Charlize sighed with a smile, "So that's how it is. Then it seems that we two can be peaceful today."
Nicholas was blocked by this sentence, and could only have a helpless expression. Hugo and he were also old friends. He chuckled and said seriously, "I have always been puzzled about what other people's relationships are worth paying attention to. We are no different from ordinary couples. It was reported that we were eating corn pancakes on the street, and then what?"
"Hugo." Nicholas looked in a bad mood.
Hugo shrugged, "I'm serious. You can report on the situation of the movie itself, as well as the interesting things we did during the filming process, including our performance in the movie. These gossip news have no value in reporting at all, right?"
"Hugo, this is not funny." Nicholas noticed the joking smile on the corner of Charlize's lips standing beside him, and immediately understood and said helplessly. "So, have you really done a fake drama during the filming of the movie? Have you really sparked countless sparks? Did you really have chemical reactions?" As a result, this question made both Hugo and Charlize roll their eyes. Nicholas spread their hands innocently, "Hey, man, it was you who said it yourself. Let me ask some questions about the movie. I am so dedicated now, why are you unhappy again!"
Hugo didn't want to argue with Nicholas, so he simply pulled Charlize and left. Nicholas hurriedly walked around the two people, blocked them in front, raised his hands and made a surrender gesture, "Okay, I won't joke anymore. Seriously! In the past three years, you have only released one work every year. This year, after the "Supernatural Sixth Sense", you have released a second work. Does this mean that you may miss the film market next year?"
"I didn't find this." Hugo felt that the reporters' attention angles were always full of surprises. He never thought of such a problem. "I can't determine the situation next year, but there is one thing that can be confirmed. I have no plans to take on any works so far. Maybe I will think about the next development of Glory until death."
A sentence suddenly made Nicholas' eyes lit up. The amount of information hidden in this sentence was too large. "It seems that we can start looking forward to it." Nicholas did not deliberately point it out. After all, today is an internal preview of "Beautiful Mind", and the news they knew is only limited to the internal. "There is a question that I am very curious. Judging from the previous news, this time you experienced unimaginable difficulties in the performance of "Beautiful Mind". Have you made a breakthrough again?"
"It has never been easy to play a real character, not to mention that Nash's experience itself is legendary. He has faced many difficulties since the adaptation stage of the script, which is indeed a very difficult shooting process. As for whether I have made a breakthrough, I think this question will be left to you to answer, because no matter what answer I will seem too arrogant, so I try to avoid such a possibility."
Hugo's words immediately made Nicholas and Charlize roll their eyes. Looking at Charlize's expression of disrespect, Hugo was helpless, "Otherwise, you come and talk to us about the breakthrough you made in the filming of this work."
Charlize raised his hands and surrendered, "I just completed an incredible challenge at the 'Devil'. I don't think I have the ability to make a breakthrough again." This confident and modest answer is indeed much better than Hugo.
Nicholas, who was standing next to him, was laughing as he watched the two of them break each other, and said, "If the plot in the movie is like this, I would be very interested in this work."
Hugo and Charlize both turned to look at Nicholas, looking like "You're kidding me", and Charlize said, "Then isn't this just 'when Harry meets Sally'?"
Nicholas was stunned for a moment and touched his nose helplessly, "Yes, maybe it's just 'When Hugo meets Sally'." This cold joke made both Hugo and Charlize look contemptuous, making Nicholas unable to resist it at all, "Hey, hey, I know you are dating now, there is no need to remind me in this way. I will watch the 'Beautiful Heart' seriously, I promise!"
While speaking, the internal preview meeting is about to begin.
Although it is an internal preview, it is actually held in the cinema, and the scale is comparable to that of a small movie premiere. However, compared to regular movie screenings, the atmosphere of the internal premiere is easier, and the overall feeling is more harmonious, with less lively and joyfulness of the premiere and more casual and comfortable party.
"Beautiful Mind" kicked off with a welcome meeting at the Department of Mathematics of a university.
At Princeton University in September 1947, the professor stood on the podium, and other students sat around the professor in a fan-shaped manner, listening to the classroom content, "It was the mathematicians who won the world war, it was the mathematicians who cracked the Japanese code, and it was the mathematicians who invented the atomic bomb, just like you and me, the ultimate goal of the Soviet Union was to **** the boundaries of the world, including medicine, economy, science, space, and war, and we need results, and we need results that can be published and applied, who is the future Moss? Who is the next Einstein? Who among you will be the pioneers of democracy, freedom and invention? Today, we hand over the future of the United States into your hands. Welcome to Princeton!"
In the corner, John Nash sat quietly and introvertedly in his clothes, but his eyes were filled with panic and embarrassment, as if he was uneasy about the strangeness and discomfort in the room.
Chapter completed!
