Chapter six hundred and ninety-first great and sacred task
When Ryan appeared on the red carpet, it triggered a wave of shouting. Judging from the cheers that broke out on the scene, it is believed that many homosexual groups regarded his appearance here as a support for them.
However, Ryan was not interested in greeting anyone, ignored the reporter's interview request, and walked directly into the theater with Taylor in his arms.
As for how people outside understand it, just do whatever they want. No matter how outrageous these guys are, they will not write him as a homosexual.
"Nate?"
After walking into the theater, Ryan saw Natalie standing beside Drew, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are you here?"
"After returning from Canada," Natalie waved to Taylor, looking at Drew next to her and said, "I don't have much work yet, I come over after receiving a call from Drew. You know, Ryan, you have shown this script for me, I really want to see what it will look like after it is made into a movie."
"Listen to Nat..." Drew continued with a smile, "At first this was the script you prepared for her?"
Shrugged, Ryan made a gesture you understand, "Nate chose "127 Hours."
"Drew, let's go in first." Taylor walked over and took Drew's arm, "They must have something to say."
"Then I won't disturb you."
Drew Barrymore turned around and waved, and walked away with Taylor.
"Not congratulations yet, Ryan."
When there was no one around, Natalie slowly spoke, "It's time to be a father!"
Although she knew that this day would always come, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had blocked a stone and couldn't help but bring a thorn in her words.
"Hey, Nat." Ryan leaned closer and held her hand hard, "Can you stay calm?"
"Am I not calm?" Natalie's words seemed very plain.
"Okay." Ryan didn't want to get too entangled with this kind of problem at all, "Then let's go in."
After saying that, he took Natalie's hand and walked into the theater's screening hall.
This kind of thing cannot be explained, and it is not clear. Too much entanglement will only become more and more troublesome. Perhaps having two more children will be a good solution?
If Natalie's two nails hadn't been trapped in his palm, perhaps Ryan was still wandering around the world at the beginning of the movie.
If he included his previous life, this was his fourth time watching "Brokeback Mountain". Although there have been many changes in the subtleties of the film, the main line and overall plot have not changed.
The film has a strong Ang Lee style, and the connotation of the Western film combines the delicate oriental expression techniques. While telling the love between two men, it does not ignore all the victims of this relationship. In addition to Jack Drizzt and Ennis Demar, there are also two broken families.
Even the sensationality of the film is extremely subtle. When Ennis said 'Jack, I swear' to the two shirts, many people may forget that this is a video about the love between two men.
Perhaps the pace of the film is too slow, but it is not boring, especially the majority of the audiences participating in the North American premiere are among the homosexual community. When the film ends, they not only give warm applause, but also have a little tears in their eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the best gay video ever, at least one of the most.
"Brokeback Mountain" is obviously not suitable for everyone. It is a typical niche film and will inevitably not be popular with mainstream viewers. Most of the people who will buy it for this film are homosexuals or sympathetic groups.
Of course, there are many people who boycott it. Utah, the most conservative state in the United States, has banned Brokeback Mountain from being released in theaters in the state.
A week after the film was released, conservatives and religious groups in the United States even mobilized more than 60,000 people to jointly boycott the film.
However, all of these were ignored by Flower Pictures. They used the so-called universal values - love can transcend cultural differences, and when love comes, the opposite sex love is no different - and began to build momentum for the film. Ang Lee himself knew that Ryan and Drew were targeting next year's Oscars and actively cooperated with the film's public relations promotion.
After all, he wants to make a comeback in Hollywood, and this film is crucial.
As for the box office of the film, although the single-stage box office was very high, the 50 theaters in the first week received more than 5 million US dollars, the number of theaters could not be increased.
First of all, most of the people who are willing to buy are homosexuals, and their number is relatively small; secondly, after all, this is still a niche film and it will definitely not cater to the tastes of the mainstream market.
In the film market where supply is far greater than demand, this is the most basic market rule, and it cannot be changed by a certain actor or director.
Although the film caused the rise of the homosexual movement, in Ryan's opinion, these have nothing to do with him. He neither discriminates against homosexuality nor has any special opinion. Just like treating ordinary people, and the higher the homosexual movement, the greater the relative influence of the film, and Drew's public relations will become easier.
However, Brokeback Mountain wants to win the Oscar for Best Picture, and even if "Crash" is not nominated this year, the possibility is extremely small.
After all, homosexuality is not a minority that mainstream society urgently needs unity, and some personal awards are enough to calm their emotions.
Although the box office growth can only be described as the speed of a snail, the film received unanimous praise from the critics and most media also praised it - no one wanted to attract a group of people to protest at the door because of his statement criticizing homosexuality. Ang Lee also felt like he was turning around, just not knowing whether he had the idea of not being suitable for pure commercial productions.
Later, Ang Lee found Ryan again, with the natural purpose of attracting investment. He wanted to shoot a Chinese-language film after the Oscars next year, but Ryan refused.
Ryan was not interested in films that did not have much market value. He initially won "Brokeback Mountain" for Natalie, otherwise it would not have been handed over to Drew's Flower Pictures later. This type of film has almost no derivative value for Disney.
As for assisting Chinese-language films to the world, this task is too great, sacred and too arduous. Ryan does not think he has the ability, nor does he think he does not have the ability to change the world where Western culture and values are rampant. On the premise that culture cannot occupy the dominance of the world, Chinese-language films cannot replace Hollywood-language films.
This is a hundred times more difficult than the boss in his previous life who wanted to conquer Hollywood and the US markets with money.
