In Han Mo's original world, Xiao Shengke's redemption had a mediocre response when it was released in the cinema. It was not until many years later that his value was excavated, and it was known as an insurmountable classic.
In the awards of that year, "Shawshank's redemption" did not perform very well, because when it was released, there was also a film "Forrest Gump". At that time, various awards were more inclined to play films with disabilities. And people's thoughts at that time also stayed in the state of needing Forrest Gump's spirit. They were not optimistic about realism, especially the films with critical spirit to the society.
Later, Shawshank Redemption made great achievements, which also reflected people's ideological changes in different periods.
The theme of the whole film is "Hope".
The word hope runs through the main characters in Shawshank prison, Andy and Rhett.
Andy can live calmly in prison because of hope. When he is wronged, he knows how to fight back rationally. When he faces rape, he can also smile.
Red, who has just been released on parole, is very uncomfortable with the outside life. When he thinks of the oak tree Andy told him in prison and reads that letter, he regains hope and his soul really enjoys freedom from this moment.
Han Mo changed the plot slightly according to different historical backgrounds.
......
"Dad, can't I go to the movies with you? Grandma said, "today is the premiere of dad's film." The little guy looked forward and looked at Han Mo pitifully.
Han Mo squatted down, let his height be similar to that of the little guy standing, and gently rubbed the child's head.
"No, this movie is about a prison story. It's not suitable for children."
The little guy was a little lost and tooted his mouth. Although he still wanted to see it, Xuanxuan was a sensible child. Her father had made the truth very clear. She wouldn't cry for her father's consent and looked down at her fingers rubbing each other.
"Then Dad will come back early and Xuanxuan will wait for you." The little guy blinked big cute eyes.
Han Mo pinched Xuanxuan's face and promised the child.
Han Mo gave Xu Fei the chance to go to the United States to participate in the premiere, while he took Qingyang home.
Han Mo agreed that his films could not compete with American films in terms of popularity.
Any film of others is a well-known director, the film emperor and queen, and he himself is a newcomer in the field of directors, and the actors are unknown. Liu Han has performed well in wrestling, Dad, which is not worth mentioning in the United States.
Therefore, they can only spell stories and acting skills. Han Mo did not go to America. He felt that even if he worked hard to publicize, it would not help the film. We will know whether the film was popular or not.
In China, because of many familiar media, Han Mo still went through the motions and cooperated with the interview.
When the media asked, do you have confidence to surpass the snow and ice and set a new record at the box office.
Han Mo's answer was somewhat beyond everyone's expectation, because he didn't cheer up for himself, shout for his film and boast like other directors.
Han Mo's answer was only three words, "I don't know."
This is the truest answer in his heart.
No one knows what kind of box office and reputation shawshank redemption will be in the world. Such a classic film, when it was first released in the past, the box office was flat, and all the nominations did not win.
Although he made some changes, he didn't change the main line of the story. He really didn't know what achievements he would make.
At almost the same time, the American director was interviewed by local reporters and asked if he was more confident than the previous Han Ma egg animated film ice and snow.
Jerry smiled first, and then showed disdain at the corners of his mouth. "Ice and snow is an animated film. We are of different types. We can't guarantee to surpass the former, but I am confident to surpass the upcoming film of Han mo."
This remark quickly spread on the local network in the United States. It is a naked provocation. If you are not fully sure, no one dares to say such a remark.
For a time, the media and directors' Association also tilted to Jerry. In addition, Han Mo still let Lu Qingyang be the hero of the film despite the pressure of quotations, so that Han Mo's film has lost part of its reputation before screening.
American films were released a little later than domestic ones.
Fans haven't watched yet, but they have bought tickets or are waiting to enter.
"I look forward to and worry about Shawshank's redemption."
"I don't know the theme of prison movies."
"If it weren't for the previous snow and ice, I wouldn't have seen the film at all."
"Jerry said his film would beat Han Mo's one."
"It's hard to say. We'll see it later."
Almost at the same time, the world is released synchronously, and there are slight differences in time among countries.
Compared with the films of other countries, Han Mo's film is much inferior in publicity. In addition to the necessary publicity, it hardly does anything in public view.
It is such a film. After the first film screening in various countries, all the audience fell into thinking.
"Life comes down to a simple choice: get busy living or get busy dying."
"Important things are often the most difficult to say, because words reduce their importance; It's not easy to make strangers care about the good things in your life. "
"You know, some birds are not meant to be caged. Their feathers are shining with freedom."
The classic lines in the film echoed in people's minds.
On the Internet, professional film critics at home and abroad have made the most objective and fair evaluation of "Xiao Shengke's redemption" after watching the first scene.
"One of the most difficult movies in history."
This evaluation is very high for a film that has just been released one day.
"Shawshank Redemption" was shown in various cinemas, and Han Mo didn't pay attention to it anymore.
He kept his promise to the little guy and returned home early.
Although her father didn't let her see the film, the little guy was still very interested in the film. It turned out that the more he didn't want others to know, the more others would want to know.
This is the mood of the little guy now.
The little guy came up to his father and said, "Dad, what's this movie about?"
"This is a film about hope." Han Mo picked up his fingers and swept the child's nose.
Xuanxuan stared with big eyes and looked excited, "Wow, even Xuanxuan has hope."
"What is Xuanxuan's hope?" Han Mo asked curiously.
The little guy raised his chin and felt proud. "Yuxuan's hope is to go to a good school in the future."
