Chapter 694 The water is exhausted! The food is exhausted!

The general content of this film is not confidential at all. As the release date approaches, Disney simply joins online media such as Yahoo to place the most eye-catching three aspects in the important position of promotional advertisements to attract audiences to the theater. ~~~~23wx~

Not only the Internet, but also the paper media quickly reprinted the news. The three highlights of "127 Hours" appeared on the entertainment pages of many newspapers and magazines.

"Highlight 1 - Based on the true story of explorer Allen Ruston, it tells the story of him falling into a valley during a hike, and being crushed by a stone, unable to move his arm. Ruston chose to survive after being trapped for five days. He performed amputation on himself in the wild, climbed to the bottom of a 65-foot valley and walked 5 miles, and was successfully rescued."

"Highlight 2 - After starring in "The Hunger Games", Natalie Portman did not continue his career as an actor, but chose to direct and shoot a biopic to continue his glory. This film with a time span of only 5 days is used to tell a story about courage and self-rescue. Filming this film is also a challenge for Natalie Portman."

"Highlight 3 - The shot of amputation surgery was taken too realistically, so it seemed too bloody. It is said that when the Toronto screening, many viewers' legs became weak when they saw this part, and many viewers vomited directly in the cinema."

However, in general, the cost of this film in terms of promotion and marketing is limited, so that's the momentum. Compared to the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which will be published globally before Thanksgiving, it can only be said to be a slight witch.

The film itself is a niche type, and if the cost is not controlled, it is likely that the investment will not be recovered.

Therefore, the premiere held when the film was released was pitifully small, and it was not even as good as the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" last month. Fortunately, due to the relationship between Ryan and Natalie, there were many media and stars who came to support the show. Among them, Scarlett Johnson, Gale Gado and others were still popular movie stars.

"Although you don't have to be stuck in the valley like Allen for more than a hundred hours, for me, this performance is a challenge to hone your physical strength and willpower."

Standing in the interview area on the red carpet, Ryan talked to the reporters. No matter what, he had an obligation to promote the film. "But luckily, modern film technology prevented me from really reaching the level of professional climbers to shoot this film."

"Is it a very strange experience to shoot this video?" John Ttrue, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, said very well.

"This is really a very special, very nervous. Very valuable experience." Ryan nodded to the clever reporter and continued, "We are going to shoot in a studio in Los Angeles and restore it to the canyon shot of Allen's trapped canyon. I empathize with the dilemma of Allen and the courage to get out of it."

On the red carpet behind, cheers came one after another. When Ryan turned around and watched, Allen Ruston and his girlfriend Jessica were walking towards the theater. After filming the film and strong promotion from Disney, his fame gradually spread throughout North America.

In such a country that worships personal heroism, he almost became the second Antonio Mendez-like 'national hero'.

After the other party came, Ryan hugged him gently. Then he gave up the interview area to him. Promoting him is equivalent to promoting the video. As long as Allen Ruston can bring enough benefits, Ryan doesn't mind making him a real hero.

"After being trapped, I first thought of taking pictures of myself, hoping to leave a final image for my family and friends. It is this attachment to my family and friends that has finally created a miracle, a miracle worthy of being shared by the audience in the theater."

When he left, Ryan also heard the voice of Allen Ruston coming from behind. After experiencing Disney's intensive training and the bombardment of the media, this person also understood how to deal with those guys and promote himself.

No matter how big the premiere is, it just looks like that. After the routine projects such as interviews and group photos were completed, Ryan and others walked into the theater.

"You're nervous..."

Sitting in the front row, Ryan could feel Natalie holding his hand a little tight, "Nat?"

"A little bit." Natalie nodded slightly.

The screenings in Toronto are just in a limited number of theaters, which are released on a large scale. Although there are only 800 theaters, they cover most areas of North America.

"Nate."

Scarlett Johnson, who was sitting next to Natalie, interjected, "We work together for the next movie you directed, and we don't bring Ryan."

"Then, Ska, and Nat."

Gale Gado, in the back row, also came over, "Do you have any specific plans? You can count me as one."

"Gal, aren't your Wonder Woman 2 ready yet?" Ryan asked back.

"Warner Bros. is still doing preliminary preparations." Gale Gado grabbed Natalie's back and whispered, "According to director Burton, the filming will not be started until next year at the earliest."

"Hey, Ryan." Scarlett said dissatisfied, "Can you stop changing the subject?"

She pointed to herself, Natalie and Gale Gado, and said, "We all have more important roles, and you will leave the script of Nath's new movie."

"Ska!" Natalie glared at her invisible.

Three heavy-weight female characters? Ryan pinched his chin. After "Brokeback Mountain", homosexuality gradually no longer is the taboo topic in mainstream films. Perhaps... well, the heroine's masturbation scene must be deleted. Even if it is retained, she cannot be as bold as she did in her previous life.

"What are you thinking?"

"You didn't really think of a suitable subject?"

Natalie and Scarlett asked one after another, Ryan shook his head, "After clarifying his thoughts, let me tell you in detail. Also, Nat will film "The Hunger Games 2" next year. When she has time, I will discuss it with her slowly."

Seeing that Scarlett was still curious, Ryan made a gesture of silence and pointed to the lit big screen, "Watch the movie!"

Allen Ruston, a mountain adventure sports enthusiast, is a passionate young man with a height of 6 feet 2 inches, a weight of 175 pounds and great strength.

On April 25, 2003, he came to Blue John Canyon in Utah, USA alone and experienced a journey that he would never forget...

In a small town called Aspen, he began his adventure and drove to the Horseshoe Canyon west of the Canyon National Park, where Allen was preparing to start a one-day tour of the canyon, because the trip was expected to be short, and when he set off, he brought only a car, a mountain bike, a first aid kit, a mountain cable, a 4-inch pocket folding knife and a day's ration, but! He didn't bring his cell phone!

Allen parked his car in Horseshoe Canyon and camped on the spot that night.

The next morning, he rode a mountain bike and traveled south for 2 and a half hours against the wind to reach Blue John Canyon. It is vast and has a lot of weather. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has ever been involved. This time, Alan went to the edge of the west of the park.

This generation of sand is loose and difficult to walk. The canyon is deep and narrow. The sandstone may slide or move at any time. There is also bad weather. Even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large.

After arriving at the destination, Allen began a 15-mile hike. After nearly 3 hours of travelling in Blue John Canyon, the boy was still unhonest. He came to a canyon about 4 feet wide, with fiery red sandstone bumps and he climbed up the rock.

Everything went smoothly at first. At 70 feet high, he successfully climbed a seemingly strong boulder. However, when he was climbing a 3-foot crevicle, unfortunately happened...

Alan pushed a huge rock blocking his way. When he was about to climb, the huge rock shook. Alan's feet slipped and suddenly went down. His entire right hand and forearm were squeezed between the huge rock and the rock wall!

The boulder nailed him firmly in the air. It was Saturday at 2:45 pm on April 26.

The incident happened too suddenly. When Allen woke up from the whole thing, accompanied by severe pain, no matter how he pushed, squeezed, pulled, and pulled it was futile. He was studying mechanical engineering in college. He used all his knowledge, intelligence and physical strength, but it was a 770-pound boulder!

Because the red sandstone is relatively soft, he initially tried to shatter the stone, but he only brought a small pocket knife. In this case, it is undoubtedly extremely unwise to spend too much energy. All All Allen can do is to stay awake, save energy, and wait for extremely slim rescue.

Allen began his desperate wait. He inserted the grapple hook into a rock crack and fixed it, then clamped the climbing vest on his body so that it could be suspended in the air and freed his feet. He had 2 burritos, a few pieces of chewing gum and 0.8 gallons of water in his backpack. This was his only ration. He tried to save as much as possible and hoped to last longer.

At night, although it was April, the temperature in the desert would still drop below zero. Alan, wearing only shorts and a T-shirt, could only rely on his strong body and few utensils to resist the cold.

In the howling cold wind, fear, depression, regret, anger and darkness came towards him. He felt that he had let down those who loved him and regretted that he had violated the safety rules of rock climbing. He engraved his name on the rock wall, hoping that one day those who loved him would read his own experience.

On the third day of being trapped, Allen drank the last drop of water, urine and other means of survival. It was essential at this time. He was seriously short of water and even fantasized that it was raining heavily in this sandstone desert area, and countless water filled the canyon, wrapping him tightly in it.

However, this was destined to be just a fantasy. In the fantasy, his eyes that never shed tears when they were desperate were soaked in tears because of the vague and ethereal hope he saw.

The water is gone! The food is gone! There is not even urine!

Life and death are pressing on both sides, and everything is only waiting for him to make his own choice!

On the 5th day of being trapped, Allen Ruston made the most important decision in his life! (To be continued...)
