"Andre, you have a drink too." Heidi took the initiative to pour me a glass of wine.

"I drank more yesterday. I won't drink it today." I continued to tease my son.

Yagelo and Vapori were so funny that they screamed. Yagelo even lay on my shoulder and grabbed my ears and bit them.

"Must drink! This is to celebrate me! Take a look!" Heidi excitedly placed a stack of newspapers in front of me.

Looking at the stack of newspapers, I understood why these women drank red wine early in the morning.

It turns out that in these newspapers, "Painted Skin" occupies an important page and has received great praise.

The Hollywood Times, the front page headline published a special commentary article. The author of this article is none other than Hollywood's most famous film critic Adam Bernstein.

He gave great praise to "Painted Skin".

"I must say that last night, I was not watching a movie, but having a dream! A mysterious, splendid dream full of oriental style! I have never done this dream before. Not only me, I am afraid that all Americans have not experienced such a culture in this world!"

"This movie written by Andre Corleon will definitely be called the representative of Hollywood's alternative. When Crescent Film announced the project to shoot this movie, I was worried about them, because the development of Hollywood over the years has proved one thing: Although Hollywood is a place where cultures meet, it has never used another civilization in the United States and America as the background to shoot movies. It has never been, nor has it achieved success."

"But this statement has been completely broken when it comes to "Painted Skin"! This is a magical movie! A beautiful movie!"

"The whole movie shows us the Chinese culture behind us, pavilions, pavilions, customs and customs, poetry, songs, and music of piano... All these Chinese elements are just rightly combined, not stiff or artificial, and they are like flowing water to fill the hearts of the audience. The hearts of those who have watched this electric chair are filled with joy!"

"The Painted Skin is a success. The greatest success is to show Chinese culture with whatever Americans can accept. This display does not bend and alienates Chinese culture. In fact, in terms of plot structure, "The Painted Skin" changes the novel by a famous Chinese novelist, Mr. Corleon, who is familiar with Chinese culture, obviously undergoes multiple processing when adapting it into a script. After retaining the original charm of the story to the greatest extent, it also integrates Hollywood aesthetics to the greatest extent. This creates a work that perfectly blends two cultures!"

"The Painted Skin is a good movie, a rare movie! The success of this movie is the success of cultural integration. It is the success of Mr. Corleon's climax of the screenwriter. It can be said with certainty that the success of this movie will inevitably cause a Chinese film craze in the future. Mr. Corleon's screenwriter's technique should be learned by the Hollywood screenwriters!"

Adam Bernstein praised "Painted Skin", especially the Chinese culture reflected in this film and the screenwriter's treatment of the entire script.

His praise made me feel a little over-rewarded.

In addition to Adam Bernstein, other Hollywood filmmakers have also expressed their opinions, and some people still have their bodies very sharp.

"I have to say. My old friend Andre Corleon and his comrades created a miracle. A charming miracle! When I sat in the movie and the first shot appeared in front of me, I knew that I would like to like this movie!"

John Ford's comments are filled with emotional bursts and beatings between the lines.

"A bamboo forest. At night, a scholar wearing a long-distance running was attracted by the sound of a piano with a bookcase on his back. After searching for it, the scholar found a woman wearing white clothes sitting on a pavilion in the river playing the piano."

"This kind of beginning is the most beautiful beginning of the land I have seen over the years. The things I have seen are so fresh and so charming! My God, I am about to be crazy by these Chinese things!"

"There are many things worth analyzing in this movie, some of which are extremely exciting and can be called a role model for other filmmakers."

"First of all, the story of "Painted Skin" is really charming. The love between men and women is intoxicated by the warmth at the beginning. The first half is warm and extremely warm. When it comes to the second half, it suddenly becomes terrifying, heavy, and finally becomes tragic!"

"The love between man and ghost, the life and death entanglement between man and ghost, was perfectly integrated through the screenwriter of Mr. Corleon, and the different cultures and concepts of the East and the West, forming a great love that transcends love. This love is the peace and warmth between man and a collection of all the beautiful things."

"The Painted Skin is about the story between humans and ghosts, but after all, it is about our hearts, about our inner feelings and opinions about the world! It is very exciting, and after waking up with great skills, this is exactly the charming part of Andre Corleon's script."

"In addition to the plot, the addition of Chinese culture and elements is the biggest key to the success of this movie. In the past, Hollywood filmed films of other countries' cultures, which was that although the filmed contents of other countries, every time we watched a movie, we felt that the people above were Americans. This approach obviously brought other cultures and completely adapted them. The adapted things like this cannot be considered pure foreign culture, but just Hollywood games."

"But "Painted Skin" is not, it's a real cultural movie!"

"There are many techniques in the movie that must be mentioned. The most amazing thing is the use of the tone of the whole movie!"

"Miss Heidi is obviously influenced by Mr. Colilon in terms of artistic conception. This electric chair has a huge shock in its overall tone."

"The whole movie is full of colors and is so gorgeous that it makes people crazy. In the green bamboo forest, women in snow-white dresses sing and dancing in the forest; above the green water, a small boat, on both sides of the river bank, the jungle is dyed; in the dark night, the yellow chrysanthemums covering the hillside... Since the invention of color movies, no movie has been compared with this movie. It is simply a philosophy of color!"

"In the movie, color becomes a true reflection of the characters' emotions and psychology, which not only promotes the plot of the story and participates in the construction of meaning, but also enhances the beauty of the entire movie, not only in form, but also in impact and culmination on the people's hearts."

"In addition to color, another outstanding feature of "Painted Skin" is the performance of actors. Choosing actors has always been the strength of the DreamWorks School. Especially Mr. Corleone, who has never missed an actor."

"As the heroine of this movie, Miss Anna became the highlight of the whole movie. She performed the female ghost's desire for love. After getting love, she also performed tragic and angry. On the screen, Miss Anna was like a charming butterfly, dancing, making people intoxicated."

"In addition to these, the most worthy thing about "Painted Skin" is the rigor of the film. In order to shoot this movie, the crew went to China in person, visited many of the most famous Chinese artists, and brought the charm of Chinese culture to the historical stage. Without such rigor, I'm afraid this movie would have long become a bad movie."

John Ford is extremely fond of "Painted Skin". In his article, he deeply analyzed the success of "Painted Skin" and was thought-provoking.

In addition to John Ford, other Hollywood filmmakers, such as King Victor, Cialis, Dimil and others, have also expressed their personal ideas after watching this movie.

Among them, praise accounts for the vast majority.

King Victor, Sissy Dimil highly appreciates the movie. After watching this movie, Sissy Dimil came out of the cinema and bought a second movie to watch it again. This kind of thing happened more frequently among the American people. The Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Tribune and other newspapers have also published a large number of reports about "Painted Skins". Most of these reports are praised.

Overnight, Huang Liushuang became popular. Even the actors who played other roles in the movie began to attract the attention of the public and Hollywood Film Festivals.

"Movie Manual" made a whole issue to introduce and analyze "Painted Skin". Of course, using "Painted Skin" as a breakthrough, the fundamental purpose was to introduce Chinese movies and introduce Chinese culture, and the result was very good. After reading it, many people wrote letters to "Movie Manual" to express their views.

The Citizen Daily simply made several special issues of ghosts. The collections are all about Chinese ghost culture, and Fei Mu and Cai Chusheng were invited to write the works, and the things they wrote were very profound.

The people like these "Citizen News" very much, and even robbed them. These ghost culture stories in China make Americans fascinated by reading them.

However, if someone suffers, he will definitely oppose it or even slander it.

"Painted Skin" did not escape such a fate.

On the first day after the premiere, there were articles of slaughtering and cursing "Painted Skin" with the Post as the base. Some of the people who wrote these comments used pseudonyms, while others signed their names directly.

The first one to fire at "Painted Skin" was none other than Alfred Hitchcock.

Since losing the last time with DreamWorks, Hitchcock has been depressed almost overnight. There is no news of his new film, nor any rumors about him.

This guy almost seemed to have disappeared, and few people could see him.

Journalists occasionally take photos of Hitchcock, but they usually take other occasions at Leidianhua Film Company.

To be honest, Hitchcock has not had a good time during this period.

First of all, the repeated failures in competition with DreamWorks made Hitchcock increasingly disappointed and lost interest in the movie, especially the last failure. This British guy almost collapsed mentally.

Secondly, the outbreak of the economic crisis has greatly reduced the property of the entire Leidianhua Film Company, which has also affected the directors of Leidianhua Film Company.

Hitchcock is a person who can't stand loneliness, but the current serious facts force him to lie dormant.

But this time, he didn't plan to lie dormant. He wanted to stand up and appear in front of the people by harshly criticizing "Painted Skin".

He seized a chance: "Painted Skin".

In his articles, Hitchcock criticized "Painted Skin".

"This is a ridiculous movie. The reason why it is ridiculous is that this movie is full of ridiculous images. Although Mr. Corleone has a talent for screenwriter, this script originally wanted to reproduce the beauty of Chinese culture, but this culture, through his hands, has become symbols. Poor symbols, these symbols are thin. They are like cheap fake flowers, and suddenly become nothing after grafting."

"The story of "Painted Skin" is very good, but a good story is not necessarily suitable for adapting into a movie. Mr. Corleone made a mistake this time. The movie "Painted Skin" seems to be very glamorous on the surface, but behind Chinese culture, some somewhat stylized things appeared and some superficial things appeared."

"Maybe it was because Mr. Corleon did not direct it himself, "Painted Skin" is not as heavy as Mr. Corleon's usual works, but it has a bit of fireworks."

"I think "Painted Skin" is unsuccessful. At most, it can be called a curiosity movie. There is such a movie in Hollywood. I don't know if it's helpless or sad."

"I think this movie would have received very few box offices if it was screened in China. So in a strict sense, it is not a real Chinese cultural film."

Hitchcock's article is very sour and mean. But to be honest, some of his suggestions make sense.

Except for Hitchcock who has a lot of opinions on "Painted Skin", there are many other opinions.

I asked people to summarize all these opinions and read them. I feel that the film "Painted Skin" has indeed benefited both the people, scholars and the public.

Despite some criticism, in society, whether it is Hollywood filmmakers or the public, most people like "Painted Skin", while major newspapers with great relationships with DreamWorks, joined hands with Bizer's publishing house to take the opportunity to promote Chinese culture in an overwhelming way.

These propaganda include all aspects of Chinese culture, and systematically introduces the relevant situation of Chinese culture to the audience.

Especially the Bizerdi Publishing Company planned and published a large series called "Chinese Cultural Encyclopedia". This series started to be compiled from the time when "Painted Skin" was confirmed to start filming. When "Painted Skin" was released, it happened to be published.

With the east wind of "Painted Skin", this series of books has caused a severe response in society as soon as it was launched. People have rushed to buy it, benefiting book companies a lot.

In addition to being screened by DreamWorks film companies, "Painted Skin" has also been introduced by movie theaters under film companies such as MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros. In just two days, "Painted Skin"'s box office exceeded 6 million US dollars, which made Heidi very happy.

In a survey conducted by the Hollywood Times, the vast majority of people said that "Painted Skin" is one of the few good movies they have seen this year. Many people believe that this movie is qualified to win this year's Harvey Award, which also shows that "Painted Skin" can at least appear on the list of nominations for this year's Harvey Awards.

The success of "Painted Skin" made DreamWorks and Crescent Film Company jubilant. This movie made the other filmmakers in DreamWorks full of confidence and greatly mobilized their enthusiasm. Griffith, who filmed "Sea Pianist", Dunar, who filmed "King Kong", Stenberg, and Victor Fleming, who filmed "Friends", have also become more focused and diligent.

The success of "Painted Skin" not only inspired the dream factory, but also inspired the entire Hollywood. Because "Painted Skin" is the first Christmas film production in the entire Hollywood, its good start has made other Hollywood film companies full of longing and hope for this year's film schedule.

Two days after the premiere of "Painted Skin", another incident once again made DreamWorks people feel excited and crazy.

This incident also made the whole of the United States excited.

On December 4, the racecourse in Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri, was squeezed into 50,000 people, while nearly 100,000 people could not enter outside the racecourse.

These people come from all over the United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast, from the southernmost to the northernmost, and many of them are supporters of canning. Some even specialize in following canning cans to cheer them up.

On this day, the canned ligament was injured and broken, and he officially returned.

This news was continuously broadcast on major American newspapers and radio stations, and the grand event of American people celebrating the whole country.

Gans, who is fully responsible for the "long-distance running plan" of canned food, officially announced on behalf of DreamWorks that the long-distance running plan has continued as the body of the canned food has recovered almost under careful care.

"Can will not give up, in its dictionary, there will never be the word "give". It is a hero, a hero full of confidence and dreams. It wants to run to prove to the world that abandoned horse has dignity and glory. There will also be a future! I hope we should learn something from this cute and respectable pony, and learn that kind of optimism and confidence spirit! The United States is in a storm and storm, and we have experienced hardships, but because of the New Deal, we have seen a glimmer of hope! Compatriots, let's learn canned food. Abandoned horse can run so confidently. Why can't we raise our heads and wipe away tears and rebuild our home?!"

On the day DreamWorks announced the plan to resume canning, Herbert Hoover delivered a public speech in Washington. The president, who is now increasingly supported by the new policy, announced at a press conference that he would attend the first game of the canning recovery plan to personally cheer for canning.

The president of a country is like this, not to mention ordinary people. So Americans with conditions drove from afar just to see how the cans were running. More people chose to sit next to the radio to cheer up the cans.

In the whole of the United States, almost everyone is concerned about one thing, that is, whether canned food can successfully break through in its first game of its comeback.

Many people are upset about this issue.

Not to mention that ordinary people play drums, even DreamWorks people are not sure.

After all, the canned food has just recovered from injury. The competition is so intense. Who can guarantee that there will be no other problems?

But we can do nothing except prayer. Everything depends on the canned food.

December 4th. The first game after the Canned Racecourse in Jefferson City was held in the spotlight.
