LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 61 Quentin: Watching The Godfather, Chu Xuan Niu~Pen~
The bright California sun shines through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows in Chu Xuan's villa.
Fair-skinned Elizabeth Olsen, wearing a long Chu Xuan T-shirt and bare slender legs, sits on a high stool in the kitchen drinking coffee.
The ipad next to it is opened, and all the movie reviews of "The Godfather" are displayed.
After a night of deliberation, "The Godfather" completely detonated the entire network!
Those who have seen it are full of hype, and those who have not seen it are very curious to book tickets with one heart.
"You haven't seen enough yet? I woke up in the morning and watched with my phone, and now I'm watching with a tablet."
Chu Xuan yawned and took a cup of coffee from the coffee cup.
"I can't see enough, I just like to see others praising you!
Ao Mei smiled sweetly and deliberately imitated a film review in a rough voice:
66 "The Godfather" is wonderful, there are too many pictures and scenes that make people unforgettable. I've tried hard to find a movie that is comparable to it, but I can't think of anything..."
...Anne Hathaway is an actress I hate so much, but she's also a lot more pleasing to the eye in this movie...
Speaking of Anne Hathaway, Au Mei suddenly thought of last night.
She wanted to pick up Chu Xuan at the door of the celebration reception, but unfortunately the plane was too late, so she came a step late.
Inside Legendary Pictures employees said that Chu Xuan and Anne Hathaway had already left.
So she sent a message to Chu Xuan and went home by herself.
Out of trust in Chu Xuan, Ao Mei didn't ask too much about "Six Seven Seven", but just casually mentioned:
"Chu, did you take Annie home last night? Is she okay? 39
Chu Xuan nodded calmly: "She didn't drink much, it's fine.
"Well, that's good. I heard that Annie's performance was great too...I want to see The Godfather! Would you like to watch it with me today?""
"It is estimated that I can't buy tickets in the past few days. I happen to have a copy here. Let's watch it directly in the screening room at home."
"Okay! 55
Elizabeth Olsen was very happy, cupped Chu Xuan's handsome face, and kissed it passionately.
The phenomenal movie-watching craze triggered by The Godfather continues.
This cross-era gangster movie quickly became a hot social phenomenon through social media.
Different from the previous "La La Land", this time, "The Godfather" has triggered an avalanche of movie viewing craze after the overwhelming word of mouth!
Everyone who has watched the movie will go crazy to the friends around them on their social accounts.
One pass ten, ten pass one hundred.
Even people who didn't pay attention to the movie before have been screened by "The Godfather" these days!
Open twitter, people above are discussing whether Chu Xuan, who just won the Oscar for best director, will win again next year.
Or discussing the Corleone family in The Godfather, discussing every character in the movie.
Even on the short video platform, many netizens have begun to imitate the clips in "The Godfather", or imitate the classic lines.
"A man who doesn't spend time with his family is not a real man."
"I'll give him an offer he can't refuse."
"Don't let outsiders know what you're thinking.
"I'm never going to be a fool and let the big guys manipulate me behind my back.
There are also many videos that imitate the godfather's dress and imitate the godfather's tone!
In just one week, the film "The Godfather" quickly became the most popular cultural symbol in North America!
And various media also jumped out one after another to interpret the profound meaning of the film!
"The New York Times" also published a "Godfather" film review column.
The journalist Judith Lester, who once hacked Chu Xuan, wrote a 4D long film review, analyzing the film in detail.
The article also quickly hit the hot list and was retweeted by netizens.
Many viewers who didn't understand the movie, after seeing this analysis, immediately respected Chu Xuan!
"The opening study scene, I think is the great opening of the top 10 movie history!
"The first few paragraphs of character dialogue have shaped the classic image of a generation of godfathers in a short time. It shows that Corleone has a basis for advancing and retreating, and he completely controls the other party's momentum. At the same time, it also introduces Corleone's guidelines for dealing with people.
"The next wedding group portrait is even more exciting!"
"After it is released on online streaming media platforms, you must go to pull the film and observe it carefully. 99
"Everyone's future destiny has been explained clearly through this wedding scene. There are too many details!
"For example, Mike is the only person who doesn't get involved in the family business. At the wedding, when his girlfriend Kay asked him family questions, his face was backlit into half darkness, indicating that he will be involved in complex struggles in the future!"
"Under the hustle and bustle of the surface, the undercurrent is surging, and the bright outdoor sun is in stark contrast to the dark indoor trading!""
"Director Chu Xuan's photography, sets, lighting, editing, and scheduling are textbook-level!"
"The tone is dark and gorgeous, the atmosphere is low, and the time and space structure is intricate, but the look and feel is smooth and impactful..."
Not only audiences and film critics were shocked by Chu Xuan's new films, but even many famous Hollywood directors were impressed by Chu Xuan's films!
Steven Spielberg, a big-name director who shot "ET", "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List" and many other films, also expressed his views on Twitter:
"I just finished watching "The Godfather" yesterday, and the shock it brought to me is indescribable. 55
"And he is the third work of a 21-year-old Chinese director!
"My first reaction was, let's just retire. I really doubt that I can reach this height, it's a bit of a confidence blow/emoji laugh and cry"
Ridley Scott, director of the Alien series, said:
"Perhaps 50 years later, Chu's film will still be repeatedly mentioned and watched countless times.
Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino said to the camera on "The Jimmy Feather Show":
"The Godfather is my favorite movie, I can even learn a lot of techniques from it, Chu Xuan can be called half of my teacher. Speaking in their Chinese, Chu Xuan is just...a great pen~~"
After Chu Xuan filmed "Ghost Record" and "La La Land", he has not yet become completely famous.
Walking on the street, perhaps few people recognize him.
After all, what everyone is most impressed by is the image of the actor. It is good that someone pays attention to who the director is and what the director looks like.
However, after the recent explosion of "The Godfather" in North America, Chu Xuan's popularity has risen to a new level!
The number of fans on his social platform also quickly exceeded 30 million!
Walking on the street, many fans began to gather around to look for his autograph and take a photo.
Fans didn't even call him Chu Xuan directly.
✰✰......
"Maiga! Look over there, is that him?"
"Absolutely! Godfather! Godfather sign me!"
"Ah ah ah, the godfather is here! I want to take a photo! 35
"Godfather is so handsome!
Chu Xuan originally wanted to go to the restaurant for a meal, but a crowd of movie fans suddenly gathered around him.
They even call themselves - Godfather?
Chu Xuan had to sign autographs and take photos one by one to appease these crazy fans.
He finally understands the troubles of celebrities, and it seems that he will also prepare sunglasses, masks and sun hats in the future.
At this time, the first week of "The Godfather" box office has been released!
The media is crazy!
"Chu's Phenomenal Movie 'The Godfather' Hits $206 Million in First Week!
"Breaking box office records! Chu Xuan's "The Godfather" sparked a movie-going boom!"
"The undisputed godfather of the box office! The first week of box office crushing will win the championship!"5
Breaking 200 million in the first week?
Analysts from all walks of life are stunned! If this goes on, Chu Xuan's film can easily exceed 1 billion US dollars! The global box office can easily exceed 1.5 billion!
A movie costing only 10 million, the box office is more than 1 billion!
Chu Xuan is the fastest director in Hollywood!
Sure enough, "The Godfather" has no intention of stopping in the second week of its release.
Cinemas around the world are still full!
A week after the release of other films, attendance and box office generally fell by about 40%.
In the second week, the attendance rate exceeded 50%, which is already a phenomenal blockbuster movie!
The second week of "The Godfather" is still over 70%!
Even in places with few theaters, the attendance rate can reach 90%!
There is no doubt that "The Godfather" still occupies the global box office champion!
Other than that, there isn't a single movie that can beat!
Chu Xuan single-handedly turned the cold April schedule into a popular movie!
A really good movie is indeed not restricted by the schedule!
Maybe wait until the summer, some big special effects blockbusters can challenge "The Godfather" at the box office
position.
During this time, Chu Xuan did not rest.
Preparations for Infernal Affairs have come to an end.
Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei, Yu Wenle, Zheng Xiuwen, Liu Jialing, Chen Huilin...
All well-known movie stars in Hong Kong were dispatched almost collectively.
Originally, it relied on Chu Xuan's $20 million investment and excellent script.
These stars have already made a move.
Recently, Chu Xuan's "The Godfather" has become a global hit, and Hong Kong Island stars are shocked!
I heard that Chu Xuan invested behind "Infernal Affairs", and these stars all volunteered to join the crew!
Even investors who have rejected many times before are now licking their faces and asking for follow-up investments.
Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang were both crazy.
I asked my grandfather to tell my grandma before, but I couldn't get it, but now I want to get a piece of the pie?
unnecessary!
The two finally got tough again!
They were ready to shoot soon, and they asked a Feng Shui master to calculate a good day and auspicious day.
Then the film officially entered the shooting stage.
It stands to reason that they are shooting, and Chu Xuan, as a mature producer, will not point fingers.
Both of them are senior directors, and the filming is done according to their own ideas.
As a result, the two called every three days to ask for Chu Xuan's advice.
I can't wait to invite Chu Xuan to the scene to guide the shooting.
"No, you two are the director! This kind of lens also asks me what 3.5 means?"
Chu Xuan could not laugh or cry, and was directly confused by Mak Zhaohui.
Mai Zhaohui smiled dryly:
"Director Chu, I was quite confident before. But I watched your "Godfather" last week, and I was afraid that I would smash it...
Chu Xuan could only helplessly say:
"Director Mai, just shoot according to your ideas, don't worry about me. You must believe in yourself! That's it, don't call me if there is no big deal."
"Director Chu, Director Chu?"
Chu Xuan has hung up the phone.
Filmmaking is really about consistency.
No matter how strong the director is, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, the sense of disobedience will be very strong.
Mak Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang were both directors.
Coupled with my own suggestions, I might not be able to reach the level of the original "Infernal Affairs".
Chu Xuan also simply hung up the phone and let them shoot by themselves.
It's not that Chu Xuan doesn't value "Infernal Affairs", on the contrary, he values the movie quite a lot.
Mainly, Chu Xuan himself has something to do.
On the one hand, Chu Xuan is preparing to communicate with director Li An about the filming of "Mulan" today.
On the other hand, Chu Xuan is also writing the script for the summer blockbuster.
Since some people say that he will only direct low-budget movies, Chu Xuan intends to create a special effects blockbuster to make the box office even more explosive!
Save money to buy MGM as soon as possible!
On his computer, the half-written script is displayed!
"iron Man"!.
