Chapter 983 The best gift!

  Looney and his group fled the theater in embarrassment.

  They don't understand: It is obviously a very annoying movie, why do so many people like it?

  This is probably the difference in values ​​between the so-called elite class and ordinary people.

  Forrest Gump is not a representative of the elite, he is a symbol of hundreds of millions of people at the bottom.

   At the same time, Liu Qingshan and others were also watching quietly as audience members in another theater not far away.

  The theater is very quiet, and the audience watched it very attentively. This is a movie that can go straight to the heart.

  Many things in the movie have been experienced by everyone, and they empathize with each other, which is very engaging.

  While watching, the audience can't help but think: If I had been so, would I be able to live a better life now?

  Wait until the lights in the theater came back on, I don’t know who took the lead in applauding, and then the applause broke out.

   "This will definitely become a classic movie!" Someone shouted loudly.

  Liu Qingshan and others walked out of the theater first. In the neon lights of the city, Liu Qingshan said to the people around him: "We will definitely succeed."

   This time, Chambers and the others nodded vigorously, and the worries and concerns in their hearts were completely dissipated in the applause of the audience.

  The next day's newspapers were full of news and discussions about Forrest Gump's movie.

  There are two mainstream views, and they are diametrically opposed, and a war of words has been fought in the newspapers.

  One is derogatory, thinking that Forrest Gump cannot represent the image of the American elite at all.

  The other kind is praise, thinking that this movie has shocked their hearts and is worth watching.

  The result of this debate is that more and more people walk into the theater.

   However, the debate only lasted for three days before it was declared over, and the party that bad-mouthed the movie had already been defeated.

  More and more people began to express their praise for this movie. Whether it is the shooting, the plot, or the emotions and thoughts shown in the movie, they all fit the values ​​of the current people very well, so its success is already unstoppable.

   In less than a week, the box office has exceeded 100 million, and this momentum shows no sign of weakening.

  For a feature film to achieve such an achievement, it undoubtedly means that it is destined to become a classic.

  In the newspapers, there are more and more discussions about the plot of the film, and Colombia released another news in a timely manner.

   Or an easter egg: Mr. Mountain, the planner of this movie, also participated in this movie.

   And there is also a reward of 10,000 US dollars, which will be rewarded to the first viewer who finds it.

  The audience also became interested. Those who have watched the movie recalled it in their minds, as if they did not see Mountain.

   Someone didn’t believe in evil, so he went to the theater to watch it again, but he still couldn’t find it.

  Considering that Mr. Mountain is from China, the most likely scene is the part of Forrest Gump in China. In the end, a female audience finally locked on the target: the old man with the white beard practicing Tai Chi.

  This lucky female audience received a reward of 10,000 US dollars from Columbia Corporation.

  When a reporter interviewed her, the female audience also said excitedly: "I recognize Mr. Mountain's eyes, they are so different, because those eyes fascinate me, I love you, Mountain!"

   There is no way, female movie fans are so enthusiastic and straightforward.

  In an open country like the United States, no one will laugh at this female movie fan. In fact, in a survey conducted by boring people, Mr. Mountain has a very high proportion of your most desired partner.

  This is completely understandable: young and handsome, multi-talented, and most importantly, a billionaire, it is only logical to become the dream lover of young women.

  And those ordinary fans pay more attention to Liu Qingshan's performance in the movie.

  Although he only played for more than a minute before and after, Liu Qingshan was on top of the Great Wall. Bathed in the morning light, dancing with hands, as if the whole world is spinning.

  When all the audience saw this, they felt a very mysterious feeling in their hearts.

  But if they want to express it in words, it is indescribable.

  I can only say that this scene was shot really well, and it is definitely the most impressive part in the whole movie.

   For this reason, fans appealed: This year's Oscar should be awarded to Mr. Mountain as a statuette for best supporting actor.

  This is a bit too much, but it’s good for fans to enjoy themselves.

  This female movie fan was lucky to get a prize of 10,000 US dollars, and another lucky viewer also got the same reward.

  Although he didn't find the right character played by Mr. Mountain, he found the song sung by Liu Qingshan.

   It was the background music played when Little Forrest Gump threw off his walker and started running for the first time in his life.

  After the movie was played, this piece of music also became popular. The reason is very simple. The music is so hot that it makes people want to run.

  Of course, if you have wings, you must have a feeling of wanting to fly.

  Accompanied by the scene in the movie where Little Forrest Gump breaks free and starts to run freely, an extremely passionate singing sounded:

   "Run forward, meet cold eyes and ridicule"

  “How can you feel the vastness of life without going through hardships”

  “Fate cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy”

   "Even if the blood is all over the arms"

  The singing is sung in a voice that is almost roaring, as if the timidity in people's hearts is torn apart at once, leaving only the courage to run forward.

   This is a song that can bring people strength and make your blood burn instantly.

   "Keep running with the pride of a child"

  “How can you see the brilliance of life if you don’t stick to it”

   "It's better to burn than linger on"

   "For the beauty in my heart"

   “Uncompromising until you grow old…”

  Hearing this, everyone felt like their scalp was tingling and their hair was about to stand on end.

   After walking out of the cinema, some audience members wanted to sing a few lines to vent their anger, and then they realized that the song was too high, and they couldn't sing it at all.

  But this doesn't affect everyone's enthusiasm, and the roar is over.

  So the streets and alleys were full of ghosts crying and wolves howling, all of which were the English version of "Dream Chaser".

  The police who are on the night watch are all more vigilant.

   Then someone began to research: who sang this song, the tone is too high, and it has exceeded people's cognition.

   If you wait a few more years, you will definitely suspect that it was synthesized by a computer, but right now, the technology has not reached this level.

  A male movie fan had an idea and decided that this song was written and sung by Mr. Mountain.

  The result was affirmed by Columbia Film Company and awarded 10,000 US dollars.

  Accompanied by the popularity of Forrest Gump's movie, the English version of Dream Chasing Chizixin also became popular.

  Even many well-known singers have tried to interpret this song.

   But without exception, all of them failed. They could only lower one or a few tones.

  The only version that is closer to the original version is the version of the dolphin girl Maria, which can compete with Liu Qingshan's singing.

  Anyway, he is also a member of his own company, so Liu Qingshan simply authorized this song to Maria.

   To say that Maria is really amazing, over the past few years, she has firmly secured her position as the queen.

  In short, the movie Forrest Gump has become the hottest topic at the moment.

  Amidst the joy, Looney and the others were too late to regret.

   This bet, they must lose, now it is only a matter of time.

  Looney and their intestines are green: Why did they go to bet with that **** guy again on impulse?

   And the critics and professionals who mislead them, can't even tell if a movie is good or bad, it's all shit!

  Even if Looney and the others want to make some small moves, it doesn't make any sense. The general trend is that they have no choice but to admit defeat.

   Presumably at that time, they will definitely become the targets of media ridicule again. Thinking of this, Looney and others have an urge to hit their heads against the wall.

  This kind of taste, before them, Li Dashao and the others on Hong Kong Island have experienced it many times.

  Because of the success of Forrest Gump's movie, Columbia Pictures also swept away the previous haze.

   Within a year, after changing two owners one after another, the company's situation is a bit worrying.

  This can be seen from the mental state of the employees. People are unstable and work is lax.

  The few films produced by the company are also popular.

   To describe it in one sentence, it is: the hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.

  Although Chambers made some rectifications after becoming the new president, the effect was not good.

  With the success of Forrest Gump, it can be clearly felt that Columbia Pictures has become stable in an instant.

  Everything is based on achievements. With good films, the company will have a good reputation and correspondingly good benefits.

  No need to worry about job title and salary, and people's hearts will naturally stabilize.

   And just as the company was thriving, another film by Columbia Pictures, also when Forrest Gump was getting better, announced that it would start to be released.

  Some film critics immediately jumped out again, ready to criticize: Your Columbia company is gone.

  But after learning that this movie is an imported animated movie, the critics quickly died down.

  Animated movies are a special type, they are basically customized for children and do not conflict with any movies.

   Now let’s see how the quality of the movie is. If it’s not satisfactory, I can approve a batch of it.

   As a result, after learning that it was the movie version of The Lion King, those who were looking for trouble were all discouraged.

   Everyone knows how popular the Lion King IP is now.

  Whether it’s Broadway musicals or TV cartoons, they are people’s favorites, so as long as the film version is not too bad, the box office is not a problem at all.

  It’s summer vacation, parents take their children, and the family goes to the cinema to buy tickets to watch movies, watch The Lion King.

  The movie did not disappoint people. A well-known film critic commented: This movie is the best gift for children!

  Another well-known film critic also expressed his opinion: "This is an animated film about growth and friendship, not only suitable for children, but also worth watching for adults."

  The Lion King has received widespread attention from the society and received rave reviews. It was released for three days and the box office exceeded 100 million.

  Experts predict that a billion movies will be born.

  Columbia has become the most popular film company recently.

   The haze brought about by changing the boss has been completely cleared away.

  People have to sigh: Mr. Mountain, as expected, is still that magical boy from the East.

  During this time, Liu Qingshan was also very busy, busy dealing with the media, busy with various entertainments.

   After the two films were completely stable, he finally relaxed temporarily and had time to visit his tutor, Professor Peter, at the university.

  It is summer vacation now, and the campus is very quiet.

  When Liu Qingshan knocked on the door of Professor Peter's office, he saw the professor sitting at his desk, writing something.

  Professor raised his eyes and saw Liu Qingshan, a smile appeared on his usually staid face.

  He took off his glasses: "Liu, congratulations on the success of your movie, Forrest Gump is a good movie, and I also contributed a movie ticket to your box office."

   "Of course, my granddaughter prefers Simba."

   "Professor, please forgive me for coming to see you so late." Liu Qingshan put down the gift in his hand, and then hugged Professor Peter.

  Professor Peter patted Liu Qingshan on the back lightly: "Didn't we meet a long time ago? In the newspaper, I can learn about you every day."

   When the master and apprentice sat down to chat, Professor Peter's expression became serious:

   "Liu, you shouldn't bet with Professor Merton. Although he and I have different ideas, there is no need for you to stand up for me in the matter between us at that time."

   Yes, Professor Peter is still so strict, although he loves Liu Qingshan very much, but when it is time to criticize, he is not polite at all.

  Of course Liu Qingshan accepts the teaching with an open mind, anyway, he just listens.

   After Professor Peter finished speaking, Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Professor, you are right, but from my point of view, I don't allow anyone to belittle my mentor, even a Nobel Prize winner."

  Professor Peter could only shake his head helplessly, but there was a strong sense of comfort and pride in his heart: This is my student!

  But the reality is cruel. Professor Peter handed several newspapers to Liu Qingshan: "Look, Professor Merton is already announcing his victory."

  Liu Qingshan flipped through it, and couldn't help but smack his lips: "There are so many people, this Professor Merton really knows how to gossip."

  The recent newspapers are full of praise for Liu Qingshan, so some people are naturally not used to it.

  So they found out the bet between Liu Qingshan and Professor Merton last year, and made a big fuss.

   Among them, the help of Looney and others is indispensable. Although they lost, if they can get revenge through Professor Merton, they can regain some psychological balance, right?

  Professor Merton naturally wants to take the opportunity to promote himself, after all, he is now in the leading position, and the leading advantage is still relatively large.

  So when interviewed by reporters, he just ridiculed Liu Qingshan, such as having no hair on his mouth, not doing things well.

   What's even more irritating is that this guy also involved Professor Peter, threatening to completely defeat this pair of master and apprentice.

  Liu Qingshan was amused, he raised the newspaper in his hand: "I really don't know who gave Professor Merton the confidence."

  Professor Peter is specialized in academic research, but the clay figurines are still somewhat earthy, so naturally they feel uncomfortable.

  Hearing what Liu Qingshan said, Professor Peter's eyes lit up: "Liu, do you still have a way to turn defeat into victory?"
