At least the share of the films is still at the forefront. Lehman comforted himself by taking the North American theater schedule schedule summarized by Liam.

Of course, it would be useless to not comfort yourself like this.

Is it a good person? I am still a little bit Ah Q's spirit.

Taking a sip of coffee and eating a piece of pastry, Lehman couldn't help but sigh secretly as he looked at the data sheet.

Although there are no six major support or blood draws, and the benefits of film screening are less than the profit sharing link, it is actually not much better.

This time, the final release of "The Old Nothing" has been decided, and the final theater resources are strictly less.

Especially compared with the "Da Vinci Code" that has been screened for more than a week, this film now has more than 3,800 screen theaters and 27% of the screening schedule.

As for "Old Nowhere to Belong", the newly released movies have the potential value to be developed and the market space is large, and they have only won less than 2,000 screens and 18% of the screens, ranking third - the animation movie "Outside the Fence" also has 20%.

Of course, our conditions are not bad compared to the ones that come later.

After all, cinemas also need to make a living, profit is the top priority. Look at the total resources of four to ten films are not as strong as "Da Vinci Code", and even reach the top ten. Films such as three-day tours in theaters may not even be able to get 1% of the total screening. They will only be released in a few theaters in a few areas and will be thrown into the offline market and fend for themselves...

Is it worse than the worst? Is it unfair? I have always had worse treatment.

But, I'm still a little envious.

The screening scale of more than 3,800 screens, even if the attendance rate is only half, the box office you get is longed for is something you yearn for.

Perhaps, this is why second- and third-tier studios attach so much importance to the development and accumulation of distribution work. Because the movies are excellent, but the box office potential is wasted because the promotion resources cannot keep up, which is indeed heartbreaking.

However, if you feel heartbroken, you will feel heartbroken. Being blood drawn is not a long-term solution...

Anyway, the series of work from production to release of any film is always closely related to the strength of the studio, distribution company and the resources provided by it.

The theme of "Old Nowhere to Belong" is actually not suitable for large-scale opening and opening. With this resource investment, although it is a little less, it is actually almost the same. In addition, the market size that French theaters can provide is still the first-class, and they always beat "Da Vinci Code" at home...

It was in such a mess that time came on the 24th, when "Old Nowhere to Belong" was released in theaters.

France, downtown Paris.

After work, Honore ran to the cinema before he had dinner, so that he could see "The Old Man" as soon as possible.

As early as the newspaper reported on the news about the Cannes Film Festival, he noticed this work. It looked good and he had some expectations.

Honore is in his twenties and has only entered society for a short time. He often watched movies when he was in school, but he mainly liked American blockbusters. It was not until after Lehman became famous that he slowly paid attention to him.

The main reason is that his works are not boring, and another plus point with a slightly weak point is the sense of identity.

Yes, the plot without any ups and downs really makes you look bored.

Lehman's movies are usually dramatic enough, and the unevenness of the characters is, in other words, easy to leave an impression.

I don’t know what the main character is for after watching the movie.

Until today, the theater also changed to the screening schedule for "Old Nowhere to Belong" and Honore arrived anxiously, making him feel a little distracted from his work today.

I soon arrived at a nearby theater, and it was easier to buy tickets in multiple cinemas.

When Honore came, although there were already a lot of people in the ticket window, the speed of diversion of the branch hall was fast enough, and it was his turn in a short while.

"Is there any intermediate point in a picture of "Old Nowhere to Build"?"

"Sold out, can you get a little closer to the front?"

"No, no, no, look up and look at your neck with a bad mood. Please help me choose the one behind." Honore shook his head.

"That's OK." The ticket seller is a man in his forties, serious.

Enter the cinema and find your seat to sit down.

Honore bought a piece of fries and waited for the start of the main film while eating.

......

Bella, a columnist who is far away in Chicago, USA, also entered the theater to watch Lehman's new film.

When she saw Javier Baden's hairstyle, she couldn't help but smile.

Because the most popular hairstyle in the United States is brothel owners, and it is usually left by women, men basically do not stay like this.

Therefore, a cold killer who has this kind of hair does give people a weird feeling.

But not long after, Anton broke out.

As he strangled the policeman in handcuffs at the police station, a burst of exclamations rang out in the screening room.

——He didn’t even have any emotional fluctuations in killing people, which was naturally scary.

As the plot develops, the scene where Moss shoots the hunting dog in a daze also arouses the admiration of the people around him.

Then, Anton single-handedly fought to the mining group and killed the employer, which also gave the audience a more comprehensive and profound understanding of his lawless style of doing things.

Finally, what the old policeman Ed said made people feel empathetic and understand his powerlessness.

"The crime that is happening now is so serious that it cannot even be sentencing it. I am not saying that I am afraid, although it is a bit too much, but since the day I joined, I have been very clear that this job is life-threatening. But I don't want to bet on my life to deal with things that I can't understand at all. Those people betray their souls, but happily claim to be adapted. If you told me twenty years ago that I would see colorful kids on the streets of Texas, wearing nose rings and treating crime as cool, I would never believe it, but it became a fact..."

The older generation is eliminated and abandoned in the face of this rapidly changing society without the energy and vitality, and can only immerse themselves in the memory of the old days, right?

Bella walked out of the theater, still savoring some details of the video in her mind.

Compared to the more passionate and exciting crime movie "Bad Guy" that tells the relationship between brotherhood, this "Old Nowhere" is not as good as the plot and rhythm.

With the same theme direction, is "Old Nowhere to Belong" a bad thing?

Of course not. If it is bad, there will not be so many people who praise it. In fact, this is also an extremely excellent movie.

Because it is a multi-line narrative, interspers and connections are frequent, and the inevitable plot rhythm is a bit loss, but this movie actually has a larger proposition and is much broader.

If you really want to evaluate it, "Bad Guy" focuses on the so-called loyalty of friends, and the fight is an additional manifestation; while "Old Nowhere to Belong" tells the bloody truth about the "salary to the strong" in the face of the weak.

Therefore, the first movie experience is better, while the second movie has a deeper reminiscence, but they are both two excellent crime movies directed by Lehman.

Back home, Bella opened the document and wrote: "The Old Man has no place to rely on - the cruelty of the weak, the elimination of the weak.

——In the movie, the geographical environment is a very important background element. The film was filmed on Texas, New Mexico and the US-Mexico border. At the beginning of the film, it shows all this with a long view: withered and yellow, lifeless on the vast plains and hills, and naturally exudes a sense of toughness and madness.

In fact, this is exactly what most people say about Texas.

In such an environment, a place where wild animals compete for food, can it be done without being fierce?

This is how the tone of the movie is determined.

For example, what was Moss doing when he first appeared? He was hunting.

If Moss is a "Wild Hunter", Anton is a "city hunter". The difference between the two is that Moss' prey is an animal, while Anton's prey is a human.

In addition, Mondley illegally started mining and bought murderers; barrister Jote helped to do perjury and complete the procedures, which could also be regarded as hunters, but they used power, money and rules to pioneer the way.

Therefore, the film depicts such an disorderly and cruel system, so violence becomes the way this film rules everything.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, the big black humor in the film is that everyone thinks they are the big fish, but the result is not.

For this reason, Monterey died at the hands of Anton because Anton was even more unruly; Mos died at the Mexican helper because he was too confident; even the most violent Anton almost died in an inexplicable car accident because the driver who ran the red light did not abide by the rules.

You see, everyone who does not follow the rules seems to have gained benefits from this. Isn’t such a story interesting?

Finally, after watching this movie, what I want to say is that time is like a rolling giant wheel, ruthlessly crushing everyone.

Who can say that the new generation will not become the eliminated older generation in the future? The old policeman Ed feels out of his power. He is increasingly unable to control the situation when the crimes occur. He is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to control his fate, and he is silent and curled up in the corner.
