Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 694 The water is exhausted! Food is gone!

There is no confidentiality in the general content of this film. As the release time is approaching, Disney simply cooperated with online media such as Yahoo to put the three most interesting aspects in the important position of publicity advertisements. In this way, the audience is attracted to the theater.

Not only the Internet, but also print media quickly reprinted the news. The three major highlights of "127 Hours" appeared on the entertainment pages of many newspapers.

"Aspect 1 - Based on the true story of explorer Alan Ruston, which tells the story of how he stumbled and fell down a valley during a hiking trip and was crushed by a rock and unable to move. Ruston was trapped for five days. Then he chose to cut his arm to survive, he amputated himself in the wild, climbed down a 65-foot valley, walked 5 miles, and was successfully rescued."

"Point 2 - After the great success of starring in "The Hunger Games," Natalie Portman chose to direct a biopic instead of continuing her career as an actress. Five days of film to tell a story of courage and self-help, making this film was also a challenge for Natalie Portman."

"Aspect 3 - the scene of the amputation operation was too real, so it looked too bloody. It is said that during the Toronto screening, many viewers saw this scene, their legs were weak, and many viewers went directly to the cinema. vomited."

However, in general, this film has limited investment in publicity and marketing, and this is the case. Compared with "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", which will be launched around the world before Thanksgiving, it can only be said that it is a little witch. See the witch.

The film itself is a niche genre, and if you don’t control costs, you may not be able to recoup your investment.

Therefore, the scale of the premiere held when the film was released was pitifully small, not even comparable to the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" last month. Fortunately, because of the relationship between Ryan and Natalie, the media who came to support and There are not many stars. Among them, such as Scarlett? Johansson, Gail? Gadot, etc., or a popular movie star.

"Although I don't have to be stuck in the valley for more than 100 hours like Alan, for me, this performance is still a challenge to hone my physical and willpower."

Standing in the interview area on the red carpet, Ryan talked to reporters eloquently, no matter what, he was obliged to promote the film, "But luckily, modern film technology prevents me from really reaching the level of professional mountaineers. This film was shot at a high level.”

"Is it a very strange experience to shoot this film?" "Los Angeles Times" reporter John?

"It was really special, very intense. Very rewarding experience." Ryan nodded to the smart reporter and continued, "We're going to shoot it in a studio in Los Angeles, and we're going to restore it to Ellen In the trapped canyon footage,

I can relate to Allen's predicament and the courage to get out of it. "

On the red carpet behind, there were cheers one after another, and when Ryan looked back, Alan Ruston and his girlfriend Jessica were walking towards the theater. After the filming and Disney's strong publicity, his fame gradually spread throughout North America.

In a country that worships individual heroism, he has almost become a second Antonio Mendez-esque 'national hero'.

After the other party came over, Ryan hugged him gently. Then he gave the interview area to him, and promoting him was equivalent to promoting the film. As long as Alan Ruston could bring enough benefits, Ryan didn't mind making him a real hero.

"After I was trapped, my first thought was to take a picture of myself, hoping to leave a final image for my family and friends, and it was this attachment to my family and friends. I finally created a miracle, a worthy audience The miracle of cinema going to share."

When leaving, Ryan also heard Alan Ruston's voice from behind. After experiencing Disney's intensive training and indiscriminate media bombardment, this man also knew how to deal with those guys and publicity. Own.

No matter the scale of the premiere, it is nothing more than that. After routine projects such as interviews and group photos, Ryan and others walked into the theater.

"You're nervous..."

Sitting in the front row, Ryan could feel Natalie holding his hand a little tight, "Nate?"

"A little." Natalie nodded slightly.

The screening in Toronto is only in a limited number of theaters. This is a large-scale screening. Although the number of theaters is only 800, it covers most of North America.

"Nate."

Scarlett Johansson, who was sitting next to Natalie, chimed in, "We will work together on your next film, and we won't have Ryan."

"So, Scarlett, and Nat."

Gal Gadot in the back row also came over, "Do you have a specific plan? You can count me in."

"Gail, haven't you started preparations for "Wonder Woman 2" yet?" Ryan asked back.

"Warner Bros. is still making preparations." Gal Gadot grabbed the back of Natalie's chair and said softly, "According to Director Burton, it won't start until next year at the earliest."

"Hey, Ryan." Scarlett said dissatisfiedly, "Don't change the subject, okay?"

She pointed to herself, Natalie, and Gal Gadot and said, "All three of us need to have relatively heavy roles, and the script for Nat's new movie will be handed over to you."

"Scarlett!" Natalie glared at her covertly.

Three heavier female characters? Ryan pinched his chin. After "Brokeback Mountain", homosexuality has gradually ceased to be a taboo topic in mainstream films. Perhaps... um, the scene of the heroine masturbating must be deleted. Even if it is retained, it cannot be as bold as in the previous life. .

"what are you thinking about?"

"Shouldn't you really think of a suitable subject?"

Natalie and Scarlett asked successively, and Ryan shook his head, "I will tell you in detail after clarifying my thoughts. Also, Nate will be shooting "The Hunger Games 2" next year. When she has time, I will I'll discuss it with her slowly."

Seeing that Scarlett was still full of curiosity, Ryan made a silent gesture and pointed to the lit big screen, "Watch a movie!"

Alan Ruston, a mountaineering adventure sports enthusiast, is a 6-foot-2, 175-pound, passionate young man with great physical strength.

On April 25, 2003, he came alone to the Blue John Canyon in Utah, USA, and experienced a trip that he will never forget...

In a small town called Aspen, he embarked on his adventure, driving to Horseshoe Canyon west of Canyon National Park, where Allen was ready to embark on a one-day trip to the canyon. He only brought a sedan, a mountain bike, a first aid kit, a climbing rope, a 4-inch pocket knife and a day's rations, but! He didn't bring his cell phone!

Allen parked his car at Horseshoe Canyon and camped there that night.

In the early morning of the next day, he rode a mountain bike and headed south for 2.5 hours against the wind to reach the Blue John Canyon. It is a vast area and a lot of weather. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has set foot in it so far. It is the western edge of the park.

This generation of sand is loose, difficult to travel, canyons are deep and narrow, sandstone can slip or move at any time, and bad weather, even in summer, with extreme temperature differences between day and night.

After arriving at his destination, Allen started a 15-mile hike. After nearly three hours of walking in the Blue John Canyon, the boy was not honest. He came to a canyon about 4 feet wide, with fiery red sandstone bumps. Climbing up the rock.

Everything went well at first. At 70 feet, he successfully climbed a seemingly solid boulder. However, when he was climbing a 3-foot crevice, something unfortunate happened...

Allen pushed a boulder blocking his way. When he was about to climb over, the boulder swayed. Allen's foot slipped and fell suddenly. The entire right hand and forearm were squeezed between the boulder and the rock wall!

The boulder pinned him firmly in the air at 2:45 pm on Saturday, April 26th.

The incident happened too suddenly. After Allen woke up from the whole thing, he was in severe pain. No matter how much he pushed, squeezed, pulled, or pulled, it was all in vain. He majored in mechanical engineering in college. All knowledge, intellect and physical strength, but that's a 770 pound boulder!

Because the red sandstone is relatively soft, he tried to chisel the stone at first, but he only brought a pocket knife. In this case, excessive physical exertion is undoubtedly extremely unwise. Allen can do The only thing left is to stay awake, save energy, and wait for an extremely slim rescue.

Allen began his desperate wait. He inserted the grappling hook into a crack in the rock to secure it, and then fastened the climbing vest on his body so that it could hang in the air and free his feet. He had 2 in his backpack. Burritos, a few sticks of chewing gum, and 0.8 gallons of water were the only rations he had, and he tried to save as much as he could, hoping to last longer.

At night, although it is already April, the temperature in the desert will still drop to below zero. Allen, who only wears shorts and a T-shirt, can only rely on his strong physique and few appliances to resist the cold.

Fear, frustration, remorse, anger and darkness came over him in the cold wind, he felt that he had failed those who loved him, regretted that he had violated the safety rules of climbing, and he carved his name on the rock wall , and hope that someday those who love him can read about what happened to him.

On the third day of being trapped, Allen drank the last drop of water, urine and all other means of survival. At this time, it was essential. He was seriously short of water and even imagined that it was pouring rain in this sandstone desert. , imagined that countless water filled the canyon and wrapped him tightly in it.

However, this was destined to be just a fantasy. In the fantasy, his eyes that never shed tears in despair were filled with tears because of the illusory hope he saw.

run out of water! Food is gone! Not even pee!

Life and death are on both sides, and everything is just waiting for him to decide!

On the fifth day of being trapped, Alan Ruston made the most important decision of his life! (To be continued..) ()
