Chapter 118 The Sound of Music Released
……

Premiere of "The Sound of Music".

The director and actors are being interviewed.

"Ms. Taylor, I heard that this is a very rare movie featuring a female perspective. How do you feel about it?"

"Director Tiffin, this is your third film. We all know that your shooting techniques are becoming more and more proficient. Is there any difference between the shots this time and the previous ones?"

"I heard that in this movie, your image has undergone a subversive change. Do you think everyone will accept this change?"

"This movie was written by Mr. Chris again. What's your relationship?"

……

Taylor wore a black skirt and dress, and answered the reporter's questions gracefully.

As the only popular star in the crew, she naturally needs to stand up, she is the main force of publicity.

And most of these reporters received tea money, and it was very face-saving to ask questions, and there were no excessive questions.

Some sharp questions were specifically asked by Peyton, just to add a little booing.

In the backcourt, Payton was also greeting the shareholders of the studio.

"The Sound of Music" was the production company's first film, and the shareholders obviously paid close attention to the film. After receiving the invitation letter, they all came to the scene.

"Joe!"

"Lady Catherine!"

"Monsieur Alberto Papa!"

……

Payton met his partners one by one.

The mine owner in the west, Alberto Papa, with a pipe in his mouth, said with a smile, "Mr. Chris is really efficient!"

"Indeed, I thought the movie wouldn't be released until next year!" Cloverfield agreed with a smile.

Obviously, they have also done some homework, knowing that it usually takes about a year or even longer for a film to be released from filming to release, which is considered normal.

Payton took over the project and completed it in just over four months. From their point of view, it was indeed highly efficient.

Catherine is a little worried. In her opinion, high efficiency is not necessarily a good thing. Just like when they make newspapers, sometimes the speed is slower, but the results are more satisfactory.

As the company's first film, a good start is very important!
She hopes that it will be released next year, and with the extra time, she can improve the quality of the film.

Joe on the side laughed: "Chris has always been highly efficient. Back then, the filming of A Beautiful Life was completed in less than half a year."

"That's it, it's still for the gift, and I spent more than two months, or it would be over in three months."

"Three months!"

Several people were obviously surprised, this kind of high efficiency was something they obviously didn't think about.

Peyton just smiled slightly, what is this?
In the future, those fast shooters in Hong Kong will make a film every half a month, and during this period, they will also conceive the script, pass a note after filming a section, continue to think about the plot, and continue to shoot when there is follow-up content!
Although it sounds a bit shoddy, but this is to make money!
Speaking of it, some directors are still too hypocritical, they obviously bowed their heads to the market, and they all knew that they were making commercial films, but they still regarded the status of movies too high, and always wanted to show something.

Can't wait for every shot to tell you something.

It's too preachy.

To use a little bit too much - the taste of father is too strong!
No need, really no need!
From the beginning to the end, the movie is just a movie, a tool for entertainment.

The director's own level of thought is not necessarily high, so why bother to weed out the audience?
Peyton never said that shooting a movie is too high a status, as a work of art.

What is the art of light and shadow?
The level is too high!

Peyton sees it as a form of storytelling.

Organize people to write a sufficiently complete script in advance, including listing the outline, detail outline, and daily shooting progress.

Just treat it as a homework.

As for quality?
Looking at the lens alone, it is indeed not as good as relying on time to polish it delicately, and there may not be any flashes of inspiration and exquisite lenses.

It doesn't matter, the story is complete, and the parts that need to be polished are slightly improved, and the completeness is absolutely high.

The audience can understand.

Not to mention the unfathomable stream of consciousness, the cloudy mountains and mist, and in the end the director still dislikes the poor audience of this session.

As for artistry?
Can make money, who pays attention to this?
Payton is not a director, he is a producer, he only needs to be responsible for investors, not film critics.

As for film critics, investors' money would hold them accountable for their film reviews.

position!

Very important!
Art in a small style?Or the pockets of the public?

If it's not Hitler, don't have such a dream.

"Don't worry, the company's first film is absolutely qualified, otherwise I won't release it."

Payton also gave the investors a little confidence that they were on the same page.

Next, investors need to continue to spend money!

"Okay, I can't wait to see the finished film, old man." Qiao said with a smile.

He is indeed in a good mood, not only because he made a fortune last year in Life is Beautiful and tasted the sweetness.

It is because of the thriving family business.

Since the legend of the drug lord, their family has united with the Gambino family, cooperated with each other, opened up a new transportation route, and made a lot of money!

Moreover, since September, the situation in Cuba has been in chaos.

The guerrillas led by Castro launched an attack on the Cuban government. Two columns led by Raúl Castro and Che Guevara went deep into the northern and southern regions of Camagüey Province in central Cuba.

This has had a great impact on their competitors in Cuba, seriously affecting the entire South American market.

Their business has a great tendency to expand!
A few days ago, Carlo Gambino, that silent guy, actually opened up the Colombian market again, which was really a big surprise.

……

After a while, the movie starts.

The lively, careless and kind-hearted nun Maria, played by Taylor, caused a lot of laughter as soon as she appeared on the scene.

To be honest, the image of Taylor in this movie is still very subversive. In the past, she mostly played the role of a beautiful vase and a sentimental girl.

This kind of honest and playful comedy image is somewhat similar to the early Marilyn Monroe.

Although not a complete funny girl, Taylor is definitely a challenge to the image of a "beautiful girl".

After a while, watching the scene of the colonel training the children like sailors, laughter came from the auditorium. This kind of classical humor belongs to the traditional art of the Federation people.

Soon, the movie showed Maria taking the children to play, learn music, and make musicals. The warm and interesting scenes warmed everyone.

With the appearance of the musical, the scene was even more laughing, and everyone began to enjoy this beauty.

Soon, the Colonel performed the most classic scene, singing: Edelweiss.

It has to be said that the male actors personally selected by Peyton are indeed in line with the aesthetic image of popular women.

At this time, in the movie theater, many ladies began to quietly inquire about the actor.

With the development of the story, the relationship between the nun and the colonel comes, which is mixed with the colonel's fiancée, the baroness.

Another part of this love triangle.

I have to say, the routine is popular!
Honestly, why do rich people always fall in love with governesses?

Before Jane Eyre and Rochester, after Maria and the Colonel?
Peyton can't tell clearly, he only knows that the audience, especially women in this era, are very fond of it.

With the colonel stumbling to express his love, the two entered the palace of marriage smoothly.

The story develops to the end, facing the change of form in Austria, they must escape the country under the pursuit of the police.

It was a classic scene - all the Austrians sang the famous Austrian song: Edelweiss.

Many people who have experienced World War II, or even far away from their hometown, sigh in their hearts, and their eyes gradually turn red.

The story develops to the end, and a comedy musical in front of it helps the children escape smoothly.

After the nuns dismantled the car parts of the pursuers, the family fled to the Commonwealth...

The story ends.

Why is this movie so popular?

Because he perfectly integrated too many elements, such as family affection, old-fashioned but popular love, the sadness of the country's ruin...

With music running through the front and back, and in a comedy way, everything is described...

Beautiful and profound.

……

At the end of the movie, the audience applauded.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Catherine, who had watched this movie with a critical eye before, also had slightly red eyes, stood up, and clapped vigorously.

She was completely immersed in it, especially seeing the beautiful scenes of getting along with her children. As a mother of several children, she was very moved and was also reflecting on her own family education.

Joe smiled: "Congratulations, Peyton, another masterpiece!"

Peyton smiled: "No! Congratulations to us, you also have investment shares, don't forget."

Alberto Papa, facing Clover beside him, smiled and said: "It seems that we will make a fortune from this investment."

Clover nodded, then sighed: "It's just that the investment share is too small."

He was a little unwilling, because he was the first to discover the gold mine of Chris, and he wanted to cooperate.

Alberto Papa is also an old man. He glanced at him with a half-smile, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed.

"Isn't this the first project? How about doing a few more projects soon?"

Turning around, Alberto Papa left a word with a little meaning.

"Besides, if you have money, are you afraid you won't be able to find a project?"

When Clover heard this, his heart moved, and he looked up subconsciously, but only saw the back of Alberto Papa.

Alberto Papa had a smile on his face and was dressed in an old-fashioned way. He looked like a country bumpkin.

But the mine owners in the west are more cunning and ruthless than outsiders imagined. To a certain extent, there is no place outside the law.

Especially when Mr. Chris was young, it was completely pristine soil.

It is difficult to find the murderer even after beating someone to death and throwing it anywhere.

Outside the Chris family ranch, an unknown number of people were hanged on rows of tall tree trunks.
