Chapter 257: In the movie theater

The plot of the film "Shapes' Love History" is actually not complicated. It mainly tells the romance of Shakespeare's own love in a comedy way. (To be continued  89 free novel reading "")

Hundreds of years ago, there was a shining star in the London theater industry. He was William Shakespeare. But in the summer of 1953, he faced a major crisis because he lost the inspiration for writing. You should know that this was in the era of Elizabeth I, and there was a variety of entertainment and interesting things everywhere. However, the great Shakespeare had no talent. No matter what method he used, no matter how much pressure the theater owner and creditor put him, he just did not have the inspiration and motivation to create the next play.

In order to create this drama called "Romeo and Juliet", he needed a goddess to inspire him. Unexpectedly, real life actually reflected his creations. He fell in love with a girl and brought him into the drama he wrote himself.

At this moment, a noble lady named Viola pretended to be a man and went to the theater to audition for Shakespeare. However, the young Shakespeare soon discovered that she was a woman, so they both fell in love immediately. At this time, Shakespeare finally found the inspiration he had always dreamed of and put their love into words. Viola became Juliet in his life, and he, Romeo, also found the meaning of survival.

But the reality is not satisfactory, because of the cruel fact that Viola has to face and must marry Sir Weiser. In a confusing identity and complicated mischief, the jealous husband and his wife's lover duel, and the couple who privately entrust their lifelong life secretly **... In this series of deeds that are both ridiculous, Shakespeare finally found a perfect ending for his drama and a happy ending for his love.

In general, "Shapes' Love History" is a very interesting and humorous ending, and the film also achieved remarkable results. It is a film that is definitely worth shooting.

However, when Xia Shang started to write the script of this film, he was a little stunned, because at this moment, he suddenly thought of a very interesting question. He remembered that he read an article about introducing the creative background of "Shapes' Love History" in his previous life.

At that time, the article introduced the creation process of the film in detail. Although the script of "Shapes' Love History" was written by the screenwriters Todd Stoppard and Mark Norman, his original creative inspiration was directly derived from the fantasy ideas of the latter's son Zarek Norman. As early as 1989, Zarek, who was studying Elizabethan drama at Boston University, proposed inspiration ideas similar to that of this film to his father. At first, Mark Norman also admitted that this was a very good idea, but he did not know how to start. It was not until two years later, after a long period of preparation that the script of this film gradually took shape.

If nothing unexpected happens, the script of this film should be in the hands of the guy Mark Norman. Should we contact him on the initiative or should we leave him alone?

Almost instantly, Xia Shang made a decision to contact Mark Norman to invest in this film, but in this way, he seemed to be sorry to Miramax Pictures.

"If Miramax Pictures can go bankrupt, then should I merge him?" At this time, Xia Shang thought a little viciously.

It was not until this time that Xia Shang thought that he seemed to have snatched several films from the other party, from the original "The Sun Like Me" (also known as "The Spirit Catcher"), to the later "The Patient in the British", plus the "Shapes Love History", and the "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" should have been released by Miramax Pictures, but so far, these films have basically been snatched by themselves.

I hope Miramax Pictures will not go bankrupt. After Xia Shang said something viciously in his heart, he arranged for people to contact Mark Norman. Since he had decided to invest in this film, the speed would naturally be faster. If someone else took it away, his efforts would be in vain.

Just when Xia Shang instructed the company staff to try to keep the copyright of "Shapes' Love History" in his hands, after a period of publicity, with the arrival of August 1, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" starring Monica Beluchi is finally officially released.

However, over the past period of time, many American entertainment media have been very cold to the film "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" and are not optimistic about this film. The reason is that this is because of the theme of this film. Everyone believes that Italian-style love videos do not conform to the aesthetic views of American films, and after the film is released, it will definitely fail miserably.

For this reason, "USA Today" sarcastically sarcastically in the article published in the current issue: "I really don't know what young directors will do except be obsessed with women. Yes, Monica Bellucci is a cold, mature and sexy woman. It does have endless temptations for a man who has just developed. But if you want to use these to make American movie fans accept "The Legend of the Beautiful Sicily", then you are very wrong."

At the same time, the Hollywood Reporter also expressed its skeptical point: "At this time, I don't want to doubt whether there are unknown secrets of unspoken rules here, but I really want to say, Dear Mr. Best Director, do you think American movie fans will welcome an Italian-style love story... The era of trying to win by actors is gone forever!"

Will Hollywood welcome an Italian-style love story? For such a question, let alone the Hollywood Reporter's company is full of doubts about this issue, even Xia Shang himself was a little worried. Although he knew that Monica Bellucci had gained unprecedented international reputation with this film, who knows what kind of chain reaction would cause to put it in Hollywood premiere?

If he was premiered in Italy, Monica Bellucci's fame in Italy and the style characteristics of this film may have a stable result. Unfortunately, there is no regret in this world.

However, Vanity Fair magazine, which has always cooperated with Storm Pictures, has expressed its assistance to Xia Shang at this moment of storm: "In the past month, Hollywood has undoubtedly been very exciting. At this time, a unique film will be released, which will surely give people a unique sense of freshness."

"Vanity Fair" magazine is not wrong. Over the past period of time, Hollywood blockbusters that have been continuously released by various Hollywood film companies have indeed brought different visual enjoyment to countless movie fans. "My Best Friend's Wedding" at the end of June, "The Two Heroes of Faces", "The Man in Black" ("Black Super SWAT team") in early July, etc. have all received good reviews and box office reviews.

Starting from July 11, the new week began, and Hollywood blockbusters have also started a new week again. The competition for the box office rankings of North American movies is still ranked first. The box office of 3,020 movie tickets in the United States is $43.59 million, making it continue to lead the North American movie box office rankings this week. In this way, this film received a box office of $153 million in the United States after half a month of release, making it the most dazzling film among the recently released films.

Even compared with "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" directed and filmed by great director Steven Spielberg and released in late May, it is no less beautiful.

Following closely behind is Warner Bros. Films, the science fiction suspense blockbuster "Super Time and Space Contact" (also known as "Contacting the Future"), released by Warner Bros., which was released for one week. It received a total of 31.29 million US dollars in movie box office in 1,923 cinemas across the United States. In fact, once this film was released, it received attention from Hollywood filmmakers and countless movie fans. At the same time, this film was also rated as the true science fiction film with the highest scientific value in Hollywood. Since the release of the film, 97% of the people in the United States believe in the content described in the film... Compared with this film, films such as "Star Wars" are too imaginative, which can only be regarded as a fantasy.

At the same time, among the several films released at the end of last month, "The Two Heroes" has 2,851 cinemas across the United States, with a box office of $17.95 million, and "My Best Friend's Wedding" has 2,343 cinemas across the United States, with a box office of $13.03 million, ranking third and fifth in the North American movie box office rankings this week.

It is worth mentioning that after four weeks of screening, the film "My Best Friend's Wedding" has received a total of US$88.21 million in the box office of the movie. This figure is a bit insufficient compared to "Men in Black", but compared to its production cost, it is already good. Of course, this is not the final box office of this film. You must know that the beginning of the next week is the fifth week of its release.

From July 18 to 24, the movie "Men in Black" was still the movie "Men in Black". The box office of 3,102 cinemas across the United States was $28.57 million, making it the third week of the North American movie box office championship, and the total box office was close to $200 million, which was very popular.

In addition, Disney Films' "The Wild Clan" ranked second and third with 2,506 cinemas across the United States with a box office of $28.55 million.

After the new week, the box office of the movie "My Best Friend's Wedding" has also successfully approached the box office of 100 million US dollars in North America. I believe that after the weekend of this week, among the films released in Hollywood this year, there will be another movie with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars in North America.

Starting from July 25, a new movie was released and swept Hollywood again. It was "Air Force One" created by Columbia Films. The film was directed by director Wolfgang Peterson and starred by Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Glenn Close, William Messi and others. Although this is a pre-conventional action film, its success has to be admired for the rich details of the film. This may be why this film received $37.13 million in 2,919 cinemas across the United States in three days of the weekend after its release.

When this week came to the end, the film "Air Force One" won the new North American movie box office rankings with 2,919 cinemas across the United States and $55.01 million in movies, successfully ousting the film "Man in Black" from the championship.

At the same time, just over the past week, the box office of the film "Men in Black" exceeded US$200 million, reaching US$2011 million, making its film the second film to exceed US$200 million after "Jurassic Park 2: Lost Paradise". As for "My Best Friend's Wedding", it successfully broke the box office of US$100 million on Saturday last week.

As soon as the new day got up, Xia Shang saw a series of gratifying numbers, which kept his face full of happy smiles and was not worried about the result of the release of this film today.

However, Monica Bellucci, who had been a little depressed since the early morning, had a look of worry on his face, obviously, was affected by the cold treatment of those entertainment media, which had affected his mood.

"Dear, you actually don't have to worry at all. The box office of the film does not represent everything. As long as you can get a positive evaluation, that's enough." Xia Shang wrapped her plump waist from behind, and stroked her big hands back and forth on her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but comfort her.

In fact, he does not attach great importance to the box office of this film. After all, this is a small film, and the style is an Italian romance drama. It is already very good to be recognized by Hollywood fans. There are less than 700 cinemas across the United States. Can you still expect how high the box office is?

The key is to see that the evaluation received by this video is crucial for Monica Bellucci's future development.

"I know this, but I also know that Hollywood critics don't like it. An actor on the European road like me." Monica Bellucci broke free from Xia Shang's arms, and his face seemed a little annoyed.

"It's not that Hollywood film critics don't like European actors, but the Oscar judges don't like you, or even say they hate you, but so what? Our film is released, and they still have to look at their faces..." Xia Shang rolled his eyes and couldn't help feeling a little funny. Then, he pulled up her wrist: "Okay, my dear, don't worry about this matter, why don't we go to the movie, right?"

After saying that, Xia Shang did not wait for the other party to object and directly pulled her to the ticketing site of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"... Originally, according to Monica Bellucci's emphasis on this film, he would definitely attend the premiere of the film. However, it was a pity that her unexpected pregnancy not only changed her mentality, but also as she began to become slightly bulging, it was obviously not suitable to participate in such an event.

Monica Beluci himself also understood this, so when Xia Shang proposed that the two of them go to watch a movie, he directly agreed to his approach.

When Xia Shang, dressed in casual clothes, sunglasses, and a large-brimmed hat, and Monica Beluci, who was wearing black suspender skirt and sunglasses covering his face, walked into the cinema together like a couple, no one recognized them. Before the movie began, the two walked into a private room belonging to them and looked at the situation in the cinema carefully.

Although Monica Bellucci is not as famous as her in Italy, she is definitely not an unknown person. From "Four Hundred Years of Shocking Love" directed by the great director Francis Ford Coppola, to the American TV series "Joseph", to "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" released last year, especially the ambiguous relationship between her and Xia Shang, which has always been unclear, she has never lacked exposure.

And her cold and mature life, her sexy and charming also make every movie fan salivate!

It is precisely because of this that, as the outside media generally pays a lot of attention to this film, there are still many fans in the cinema. Even if it is less than the prime time of every day, the attendance rate has reached 60% to 70%, which is already very good.

"Dear, it seems that your appeal is really good. Look, there are many fans here to support you." Looking around, Xia Shang reached out and directly surrounded the other party's waist, embraced his plump body, tasted the faint fragrance on the other party's body, and smiled.

"Actually you are right. The good or bad of this video is not the point, and now for me, there are things that make me more concerned about." Hearing this, Monica Bellucci touched his slightly raised belly, smiled calmly on his cold face, and looked at Xia Shang, full of gentleness.

The intoxicating style made Xia Shang's "kill" stunned. It has to be said that women like Monica Bellucci, who are at the most mature stage of life, are the most sexy and charming, especially after pregnancy, the maternal nature on the other party made him fascinated.

"Dear, you are becoming more and more charming..." After seeing Monica's charming appearance, Xia Shang couldn't help swallowing, especially at this time, he felt a pair of elastic and huge squeezes on the other party's chest. Looking at the snow-white and deep ravines that were close to him, it was unbearable for a moment.

If he hadn't been worried that she had just been pregnant for a few months, he might have really pushed the other person down here and ravaged him hard.

As for Xia Shang's hot eyes, a charming smile appeared on Monica Bellucci's face.
