The preview results of "Rock High School" were not too good or too bad. The two directors were a little disappointed. Roger Coleman watched the preview results and convened everyone on the spot to hold a meeting. He decided to make only a few more than 10 copies and play them in each state in turn.

This old-fashioned distribution model has long been subverted by the new model of "Great White Shark" with hundreds or even thousands of painting theaters released nationwide.

The reason why Roger used the old model was that he was not optimistic about the box office of the movie, so in order to save copy production costs and reduce risks, he adopted the state carousel model.

One copy is a complete film, reprinted from the negative and can be played many times. Instead of making hundreds of expensive copies of the movie at the beginning, it will be launched simultaneously across the country, and then harvesting box office bombs and ending with a loss. Roger Coleman's philosophy is always the first cost. If the cost is low enough, it will be difficult for you to lose money.

Roger decided to release the films in small central and southern states, such as Arizona, Georgia, etc., and then after the screening in one state is over, the copy will be shipped to the next state. Not only does it save the copy production costs, but it also mainly uses local cinemas to post posters, and there is no need to use expensive TV and newspaper pages.

If the box office in small states is high enough, add some copies to be released in big cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. If the box office is average, then don’t add them and let the movie slowly complete your life journey.

There was no big explosion that exceeded expectations, nor did it fall below the bottom line, and it could be released nationwide. Allen and Joe were both a little disappointed and grateful. Ronald didn't know whether to comfort or congratulate the two directors.

Ronald went out to buy some Chinese food and brought it to the two directors. They liked this kind of improved Chinese food that suits Western tastes. However, Ronald himself prefers the original ones. He often goes to Mong Kok restaurants in Chinatown.

The preview is the first time the film faces a real audience. The director's psychology is probably similar to the gambler's feeling waiting for the result. Ronald began to think about the "Apocalypse of Modern Times" at night. I wonder how the great director Coppola would view the preview of his movie. Is it also nervous?

As it turns out, Coppola is even more nervous.

Francis Coppola has a big beard and wears black-framed glasses, and has a little fat body.

"Please don't release reviews after today's trial. Today's trial is still a semi-finished product, which is incomplete. We will go to Taiguo to attend the Cannes Film Festival next month and then return to China for refining. This trial will be temporarily screened at the invitation of the Directors' Union and the Film Academy, so please don't release reviews before the official release."

When Ronald entered the door, he saw many viewers who did not need invitations and directly showed a membership card. It was thought that they were the critics mentioned by Coppola. As a film critic in newspapers and magazines in the United States, they all enjoy this privilege. No matter what kind of movie it is, as long as you present the critic card, you can watch it for free.

After a brief speech by a senior executive of a publisher Lianyi, the lights turned off and the screen was pitch black.

“Scared…”

A faint sound of propeller came, which was sometimes left and right, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and then seemed to be coming from behind Ronald.

The audience turned their heads in surprise, wanting to see where the sound came from.

"It's a new technology, called surround sound..." Ronald heard someone whispering.

Is this a new technology? Ronald thought to himself that the original movie and the sounds were all released behind the screen, and the audience was used to it. Today, the propeller seemed to be hovering behind his head, which was really a long experience.

On the dark screen, a sad background music sounded...

The screen gradually shines, and it is a tropical coconut forest. The orange-red dust is raised by the wind and is pulled upwards in circles.

The dust is getting more and more, and the sound of the scattered propeller is getting louder and louder.

The landing gear of a helicopter suddenly passed through the screen from left to right.

It seems that the world was awakened.

A breeze suddenly broke out in the coconut forest...

Napalm bombs fell into the coconut forest, and the orange-red explosion flames rose one by one, very much like the color of the dust just now.

"Wow..." Ronald was really surprised. The beginning was extraordinary. He couldn't help but sit upright, waiting for the movie name and subtitles to explain it.

There is no name for the movie! The subtitles do not appear either!

There was only one man's voice, and he began to sing softly, and his voice was very special.

"This is the end (this      the    end…)"

Why did you sing the ending at the beginning?

Some of the audience actually boiled, "Oh, this is the end of the doors!"

Some people started applauding...

Ronald did not understand these literary and artistic people and admired Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the Door Band. Morrison, known as the rock poet, also has many fans in the literary and artistic circle.

This is the end this                                                             

My beautiful friend    beautiful    friend

This is the end                                                             �

My only friend my                                                             �

Accompanied by poetic singing, the helicopter circled above the coconut grove that was blown into ruins.

The tail is exposed, the propeller is exposed, and the landing gear is exposed.

A backward face began to appear on the screen, staring at the audience with confused eyes, as if asking, "Who am I, why am I here?"

The terrifying propeller sound is getting closer and closer to the audience...

Just as Ronald felt that it was getting weirder, the propeller turned into a ceiling fan.

The ceiling fan was blowing the wind hard, and the camera began to rotate slowly 180 degrees, and the owner of the face began to appear in the field of view.

The "finale" of the opening music gradually dissipated, and the audience saw the protagonist lying on the bed resting in a tropical-style room, with a pistol thrown beside the bed.

The protagonist finally got up, walked to the window, and used his hand to open the midnight window on the switch, and there was a warm sunshine outside.

The picture finally isn't that weird orange red anymore.

A gentle voice recalled.

Ronald was shocked, and the person who was talking seemed to be whispering in his ear. How did this be done? The audience was looking down at whether there were speakers hidden under the seats.

"Saigon, shxt, I'm still stuck in Saigon."

It turned out to be the protagonist's inner monologue, so the helicopter and explosion just now were the protagonist's memories? This opening is really exciting.

The protagonist turned out to be an officer of the Mid Army intelligence department, Captain Willard. He accepted the task and went north along the Mekong River to investigate a Mid Army who had left command and organized a private army on his own. If the situation allowed, he would get rid of Kutz himself.

Willard formed a ranger and marched on a boat, and encountered all kinds of strange people and strange things along the way.

Command the helicopter formation, put the Valkyrie riding, bombing the colonel in the village, and only thinking about surfing.

The girl who flew from the United States and was wearing a bikini to sing for the frontline soldiers, but was surrounded by soldiers and wanted to spend the night, and finally climbed onto the helicopter to escape.

Frontline soldiers held a fireworks party. On the other side of the beautiful fireworks were soldiers on duty who were shooting machine guns in the trenches.

The team went ashore to rest and encountered a tiger in the rain forest... and was so scared that it was pissing.

The squad who finally arrived at his destination, with the help of an Ameriga field photographer, found Colonel Coates.

Coates had become an evil leader, killing his subordinates. He hoped that Willard would inherit his status and career. The leaders held a sacrificial ceremony and slaughtered a bull. Everyone cheered, as if they worshipped him as God.

The captain Willard seized the last chance and killed Cotts with the knife that slaughtered the bull, led the remaining team members away from this weird place. Before leaving, he called the bomber and blew up Colonel Cotts' camp.

The ending music is the ending of the Door Band again, and the whole film seems to tell a cycle of reincarnation.

"Apocalypse Modern" has not been edited for the final editing. There are many copies that have not been processed. They either suddenly black screen or get stuck. There is no subtitle for the entire movie. There is only one shot and the words "Apocalypse Modern" are written on the wall.

I don’t know if I didn’t have time to do it or the director intentionally did it.

The video ended for about 2 hours and 20 minutes, and the lights in the screening room turned on. The audience began to whisper.

I don't know what others think, Ronald was deeply fascinated by this movie.

The film seems to be telling a strange dream, the protagonist Willard always tells words in his ear, and it also seems that a dreamer is telling a story to himself.

The main creative team was invited to the stage, and some viewers began to applaud enthusiastically.
