ALL NOVEL Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Mysterious identity
After the ninth episode of “Pacific War” was broadcast, it really caused a sensation.
This episode is about the famous battle of Iwo Jima, but the movies “Letters from Iwo Jima” and “Flags of Fathers” have reflected this war from different angles. The “Pacific War” avoided the battle itself, but with different Re-examine this arduous battle from a different perspective.
While inspecting the ruins of the war, Eugene accidentally found a family who had died tragically in a house on the side of the road. Only one baby was left crying and crying. Before leaving, Eugene also found a woman who was lingering and panting. Eugene, who had been baptized by the war, went from being wary to cold-blooded and then approaching, and finally hugged the woman, waiting for her to swallow her last breath.
Faced with the numbness and indifference when facing babies, and the gentleness and movement when facing the dying life, this subtle contrast completely detonated the discussion craze for everyone, not only the comments from the audience on the Internet, but also the professional film critics. , The enthusiasm of public film critics to express their opinions.
As Kyle Smith said in the “Wall Street Journal”, the exquisiteness and turbulence, depth and thickness that Renly showed in this scene is not only amazing, but also completes the sublimation of the whole drama until this moment. , The intent of the entire series of “Pacific War” was fully revealed, bringing a storm of reflection for every audience.
“Hollywood Times” stated, “After the controversy of the opening, the’Pacific War’ showed an amazing depth of thought. The torture of human nature, the pain of war, and the rebirth of thought have once again become a rare classic!”
“Vanity Fair” said, “Drive low and go high. The’Pacific War’ experienced a thrilling roller coaster journey, but just like the excitement of the whole process, the high/tide towards the end bombarded the audience wildly. The pain of the war is uncovered before every audience. The performance of Lanly-Hall is directed at the soul!”
The “New York Times” commented, “This is a work that makes people re-examine themselves and veterans. We have seen the cruel and terrible war, but we have not seen the scars of the soldiers. When Lanly-Hall As Eugene Sledge embraced the dying woman tenderly, the blending and opposition of life and death made the audience feel for the first time: how difficult it is to live.”
……
The authoritative media’s comments and the Yahoo community’s netizens are on the same track for the first time. Although most media still refuse to give all credit to Lan Li, like the “Wall Street Journal”, and always insist on that, the drama The success of “is still the power of the whole, especially the sublimation of the weight of thought; but they still unanimously admit that Lan Li’s performance has become a highlight that cannot be ignored in the second half of the series, and the twenty-year-old newcomer makes his debut like a comet .
IMDB’s score soared to eight and five points, and the media review was unimaginably improved to eighty-seven points-slightly ahead of the “Brother Company”, HBO was finally a long time before the last episode of “Pacific War” was left. I took a sigh of relief, not only because the professional film critics and netizens reached an agreement and praised the series; but also because the satisfaction of subscribers has returned to normal levels, and even exceeded expectations——
According to HBO’s official return visit content, subscribers’ satisfaction with the “Pacific War” successfully surpassed the “Brother Company”. Even setting aside the unfavorable situation at the beginning, this is the result that people did not expect.
As previously stated in the Yahoo community discussion post, “The Pacific War” is a set of miniseries, not a movie. You cannot judge success or failure based on the content of one episode, but should be viewed as a whole; similarly, “Pacific War” “War” focused on three independent individuals. As long as the audience can establish a connection with the three characters, then the influence of this series on the audience is likely to exceed the “Brother Company”.
When the “Pacific War” was all played, the enthusiasm of netizens was finally fully released.
At the end of the story, Eugene sat alone and lonely under the sycamore tree in front of his house, staring blankly at the steadily red sky in the distance. Although he survived, there was only a trace of broken wandering spirit left. The once enthusiastic, energetic, sensitive, firm, and hopeful son of the Laiqi couple stayed on the blood-stained battlefield forever.
The surging frenzy of reflection completely detonated the Yahoo community, and the number of replies to discussion posts reached a new high. Netizens couldn’t wait to express their views, expressing their views on the “Pacific War”, the war itself, and Eugene Sledge. Views, then look for like-minded people and share them together. This reflection and discussion heat wave far exceeds the “brother company” of the year.
If it is said that the “Brothers Company” brought people blood boil; then, the “Pacific War” brought people mixed thoughts.
The number of IMDB scores for “Pacific War” surpassed 100,000 in one go, and the score remained stable at 8.6, and successfully ranked among the top 70 on the 250 list of classic dramas.
If compared with the 9.5 high score of the drama “Brothers”, this achievement has nothing to show off, but for the “Pacific War” that started badly, such a finishing touch is already gratifying. What’s more, the next step is to see where the score will go after more viewers have watched the work after the DVD is released. It took nine years for the “Brothers Company” to be the No. 1 in IMDB series, and there is still a long way to go for the “Pacific War”.
In 2001, the “Brothers Company” set off a frenzy of war works, and people were talking about this wonderful work. Later when the DVD was released, it broke the sales record of drama series and DVDs-this record maintained a sufficient level. For nine years, no one has been able to break it, which shows the profound influence of this series.
However, what “Brothers” really achieved is the reputation of the golden partners Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, because this is the success of the entire work, not the success of a single individual. After the passage of time, people will find that there are many familiar actors in this series, including Damien Lewis, Kirk Eswoddo, Michael-Fassbender (Michael-Fassbender) , Tom-Hardy, Simon-Pegg, James-McAvoy, etc.
When revisiting “The Brotherhood” many years later, you will find that this is a new star factory, and every familiar face will bring surprises. But in fact, for a long time after 2001, these actors have not been able to benefit from the “Brothers Company” drama-none of them became popular, there were no invitations, no careers took off, none of them. .
In 2010, the “Pacific War” once again awakened people’s enthusiasm for war topics. The Yahoo community’s discussion enthusiasm has remained high since the first episode. The development curve of declining and then rising challenged the nerves of countless viewers, and finally succeeded Forged the praise of his “masterpiece”. Although there is still controversy as to whether this set of works can be called a classic, it is undeniable that the collaboration between Tom and Steven has once again contributed a wonderful performance.
However, this time the “Pacific War” made an actor stand out, “Eugene-Sledgehammer-Sledge”, the role that supported two-thirds of the series touched the minds of countless audiences, especially It was the moving scene of the ninth episode that even the audience waiting for the live broadcast burst into tears. After the show was over, the discussion focused on Eugene even went beyond the show itself.
For a while, people began to ask: Who on earth is Eugene Sledge played? Who is the actor who dedicated his calm and atmospheric performance?
Yes, he is called Lanly Hall, he is a newcomer actor, he is the core soul of the “Pacific War”…… This information was at the premiere, and it was already widely known through Tom Hanks’ introduction. Just search for it, and you can see on the major news that there were still a lot of controversies about this newcomer actor, and many people have expressed their concerns, not sure whether to hand over the core role to a newcomer who has no experience in acting. It was the right decision.
It now appears that Steven and Tom made a desperate bet to achieve the glory of the “Pacific War”. That risky decision has become a wise choice for Huiyan Zhizhu.
But what about other information?
I searched the entire network, but the information about Lan Li is pitiful, as if this actor really jumped out of the stone, without personal experience no resume, not even his No one knows the birthday—wait, does anyone know how old Lan Li is this year?
This chaos is full of a kind of blurred mystery. You know, now that social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are fully popularized, everyone can become a news source, not to mention personal information. Even elementary schools can dig out any embarrassment. As long as Lanli’s elementary school classmates or friends in life, after seeing the Internet boom, take the initiative to speak out some information, this is enough, the tip of the iceberg can be a breakthrough, and then the whole blueprint can be unveiled.
But, no, nothing. Even during the two and a half months of the “Pacific War” broadcast, there was a lot of turmoil on the Internet, but no one took the initiative to reveal the information of Lan Li.
Weird, this is really weird. Did Lan Li live in a backward rural area before? The people there are simple and honest, everyone doesn’t like gossip, is not keen on the Internet, and the news is blocked and behind, so they have not noticed this boom at all? This is currently the only most reasonable explanation.
The discussion on the Internet did not encounter any setbacks. Instead, it became more and more intense. All signs are showing that the biggest winner of the “Pacific War” is Renly. Lan Li achieved the success of this set of works, and this set of works also achieved the rise of Lan Li.
But, how long can this kind of heat last? Netizens are always forgetful, the craze comes fast and goes faster. What exactly can this kind of heat bring to Lanli? The enthusiasm for online discussions has limited impact on the film industry in real life. What’s more, the “Pacific War” is just a miniseries, with no box office pressure, no burden of word of mouth, and no awards season involved.
For Hollywood, does all this make sense?
