150 Windfall
The screening of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" ended, and at the end of the movie, Daniel and Keffey, who were standing in the center of the huge courtroom, looked around, and finally left the empty courtroom with firm steps, and the surging hearts of the audience in the cinema were undoubted.
Not only because justice was finally served at the end of the movie, not only because of the strong confrontation between Cafe and Jessup at the end of the movie, but also because of the reflection left at the end of the movie: Jessup, Dawson, and Doni don't think they were wrong, or didn't understand what they were wrong, but the fact is that an innocent soldier died, and the three of them were direct or indirect murderers. So, is it really a happy ending for Jessup to be imprisoned and Dawson and Doni to be dismissed with honor?
Hugo sat in his place, feeling the impact of the movie, Rob Reiner gave the movie "Yihai Xiongfeng" not only the charm of the character, but also the whole story to dig out the depth worth tasting, this may be the charm of the movie, the charm of the actors, Hugo benefited a lot, there is an exploration of acting skills, and there is also a reflection on the movie.
The applause rang out from the audience, and then swept in like a huge 'wave', and it was about to hit in an instant. Surrounded by the inside of the National Theater, the crisp and loud applause conveyed the true feelings of the audience, and the feelings that had been suppressed for a full 140 minutes were vividly vented at this moment.
Hugo's thoughts were interrupted by a flood of applause, and then he felt a warm sensation in his right hand, and when he looked sideways, he saw Uma's face full of joy, and she opened her mouth and said, "You are the best!" Then the smiles bloomed along with the applause that poured in from all directions.
Uma then let go of Hugo's right hand and stood up clapping. Only then did Hugo notice that the crowd around him was standing up one after another, expressing his respect in this way. Hugo couldn't help but stand up, and met the joyful eyes of Jack Nicholson, Rob Reiner, Kevin Beckon and others with a smile on his face, Hugo knew that he had succeeded!
Following "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'", "Yihai Xiongfeng" also achieved success again, and this time, Hugo's first breakthrough in acting skills also began to shine on the big screen. Hard work will pay off in the end, and when the opportunity is near, it must be cashed in with double sweat, but fortunately, Hugo did not miss it.
This kind of happiness was instantly stuffed into Hugo's 'chest' cavity, and the huge sense of accomplishment made his eyes feel a little warm, and he also stood up with applause, hugged each other with his crew colleagues, and congratulated the great success of the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng". Although the comments of film critics and the feedback of the audience still need time to wait, at this moment, it is the time to enjoy victory, and it is the best choice to open your arms and embrace applause.
Rob led the cast to stand in front of the big screen, the cinema lights were slowly lit up at this time, and people were welcoming the main creators to the stage, preparing for the next exciting questioning session. Although it is not as good as the gossip four 'shooting' in the reporter's interview session, this is a rare opportunity for the audience and the crew to communicate with the bridge built by the work, and no one will miss it.
The staff hurriedly stepped forward and handed the microphone to the leading actors, Jack rejected the microphone handed to him, and instead 'handed it over' to Hugo, and patted Hugo on the shoulder with a light smile, but Rob still took another microphone to Jack. One by one, the audience sat down in preparation for the upcoming Q&A session.
But at this moment, the style of the ending song of the cinema sound changed, from the 'exciting' music at the end to the tune with a strong soul jazz style, and the notes full of the forties had a kind of charm and comfort, "The next time you meet me, things will not be the same again." The warm and bright voice blends into the melody and flows slowly, with a little bit of lightness, so that the fingers can't help but want to tap the beat gently, and before you know it, the ears are redirected from the surrounding noise to the big screen.
Only then did people realize that the subtitles on the big screen were still rolling up, and everyone was so 'excited' just now that they ignored this, and there were subtitles and an ending song after the movie ended. But at this moment, quietly, attention is substituted into the situation of the ending song.
The cozy and elegant voice of the singer of the ending song has a charm that is difficult to describe in words, mellow but clear, and the lyrics are cleverly combined with the storyline of "Yihai Xiongfeng" under the interpretation of this voice. In fact, the song at the end of the film was originally about the man's mood after the breakup, he said that the 'woman' betrayed him, and he would not continue to be depressed, and he would make the 'woman' regret it after meeting again. But under that brisk and elegant interpretation, it is reminiscent of the experience of Kafi in the movie. At the beginning of the story, Coffey is like countless lawyers, right and wrong are not the most important, winning or losing is the key, which is also the biggest drawback of the current American lawyer industry, which has been criticized by European countries, lawyers are no longer the defenders of the law, but the users of the law, their greatest ability is to use the law to seek the greatest interests for their clients, the so-called morality, the so-called right and wrong, the so-called good and evil are no longer important.
Before meeting the defendant and reading the case report, Kaffee thought that the reduction of the sentence to 12 years was a victory, and then he could not resist the "temptation" of the prosecution's six-month sentence. As for how the defendant will gain a foothold in society after he is released from prison, it has nothing to do with him, and whether the defendant has really "committed a crime" is not the point. Coffey is a typical American lawyer.
However, as the story progresses, Kefei gradually understands that there are some things in the world that cannot be resolved through negotiation, and that the lawyer is not a salesperson, relying on negotiation and 'trade' to enforce the law, such as the dignity of a soldier, such as the relationship between law and justice, which are beyond the scope of "negotiation". In the end, Cafe used his wisdom and actions to win the 'confrontation' with Jessup, won the respect of Dawson, and also won the hearts of all the audience.
The amazing thing is that a mid-board jazz style song, "Next Time You Meet Me (E)", has been interpreted in a different style, making the picture from the movie appear in the minds of all the audience again, as if the story of "Yihai Xiongfeng" is reinterpreted with music, which is very wonderful and magical.
Not only the audience, but Jack and Nicholson also noticed the beauty of the ending song, and he cast an inquiring glance at Rob, who was quite surprised when he looked at the audience's reaction, but still gave Jack a positive answer, which made Jack look at Hugo again, and there was more exploration in his sight.
Sensing the noise that was gradually precipitating in the theater, and looking at the expressions of the audience listening attentively or looking at each other, Hugo also realized that something was wrong, and he cast an inquiring glance at Umma, who was sitting in the audience, but Uma was also enjoying the music at this time, and did not give Hugo a response. Hugo only saw the intoxicated expression on Umma's face, so he frowned at Rob, and got the answer he wanted: Rob pointed to his own ear, and Hugo heard his own voice slowly flowing out of the stereo.
Although Hugo wrote several songs after the crossing, this was the first time he heard his own voice after it had been recorded. This made Hugo feel a little strange, and his voice now seemed more mellow, and he was more delicate and thicker when interpreting some details, specifically to be able to sculpt the song more vividly.
But it's a pity that Hugo's singing skills are still a little jerky, and he hasn't been able to give full play to this advantage, but fortunately, Hugo's expression makes up for this, after ten years of ups and downs, through the unbelievable, after a year of bloody struggle, Hugo's understanding of music has obviously improved by two levels than before, which also makes it easy to touch the soft place of the heart after the interpretation of "Next time you meet me".
This can definitely be called a huge surprise.
When the ending song was sung, there was another round of applause at the scene, and many viewers showed surprised expressions. Details determine quality, and an excellent movie is bound to have countless details that are worthy of repeated scrutiny, and obviously, the ending song of "Yihai Xiongfeng" can be regarded as a detail.
As a result, the first question in the question session was quite surprising, "Is the ending song specially made by the 'door'?" Generally speaking, no one will care about such a question, and even if they do, they can wait for the official release of the movie to watch the end credits to check the relevant information, at least no one will 'waste' an opportunity to be in the question session after the premiere screening.
"Oh, that's a question I think Hugo can answer, because he's the arranger and singer of this song." Originally, the first question was thrown to the director, but Rob directly threw the question back to Hugo, and as soon as these words came out, a low cry immediately sounded at the scene.
Hugo and Lancaster and music? This is unheard of, everyone was surprised by the fact that the singer of the ending song, and even more surprised by Hugo's dedication to a 'fine' performance, but also contributed a beautiful music, which really surprised everyone on the scene, including all the reporters and film critics present, such a harvest is not in the plan.
Hugo picked up the microphone in his hand, he definitely didn't expect his first question to be about the ending song, should he be happy that the music was noticed, or should he be frustrated that his acting skills were not recognized. Hugo had a helpless smile on his face, "Yes, this ending song was adapted from the original song by Little Parker and sung by myself." Then, the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth bloomed, this is a good thing, there is no need to feel frustrated, "It seems that there are still many people on the scene who like it, which makes me relieved, at least if the movie fails, Rob will not blame me." ”
As soon as Hugo's words fell, Jack burst out with a sentence, "You are the male protagonist, who do you blame if you don't blame?" made Hugo stunned for a moment, and the audience all laughed.
