He also did not miss some low-budget art films. He would first carefully look at the director and actors, and then arrange his own movie-watching time according to the story type.
As a senior and excellent film critic, this is the work that Shu Pain has to repeat every day.
His extensive experience in watching movies has accumulated a wealth of knowledge for him, and he can also gain a lot from these movies, some of which are mediocre or some of which are outstanding.
The TV was playing in the room. On the screen, an old man was crying at the top of his lungs, complaining about his children's unfilial behavior. His wife had a look of deep sorrow on her face, watching intently.
Shu Pain took a look and turned his head away again.
He picked up the notebook beside him. At his age, although he has to deal with electronic products due to work, Shu Payen's favorite thing is to use a pen to write down line after line of his thoughts in the notebook.
The two were each doing their own things, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious for a while. The pen tip made a rustling sound as it moved across the notebook, blending with the music on TV. All this made Shu Payne extremely relaxed, until his cell phone on the coffee table suddenly rang, and the ringtone woke up the old couple who were immersed in the TV and movie plots.
Shu Payen frowned. He didn't like being disturbed when he was thinking about something. After the phone rang a few times, his wife put down the sweater she was knitting, stood up, picked up the phone and took a look:
"It's Cui Zhangcheng calling."
The caller ID showed the name 'Cui Zhangcheng'. He was the editor-in-chief of the film magazine "Times Review" and a friend of Shu Pei'en who had worked with him for many years. He even opened a special column under the magazine "Times Review" to write film reviews for Shu Pei'en.
It’s just that Shu Pei’en has not been in good health in recent years. He still watches movies, but is much more cautious in writing film reviews than before, and he hasn’t produced many works. However, the friendship between him and Cui Zhangcheng is still deep.
If nothing serious happened, Cui Zhangcheng would not have called at this time. He should know Shu Peien's living habits and understand that he has no plans to write a film review for a certain movie recently. He called at this time, probably because he got some news.
Shu Pain guessed in his heart, while putting the cap on the pen, tucked it in the Japanese diary, took the mobile phone from his wife, and said:
"Zhangcheng, I'm Shupein."
"Teacher Shu, did you see it online?"
Cui Zhangcheng's tone was a little hurried: "You were following "God's Redemption" before. The official website released a trailer thirty minutes ago."
Jiang Se starred in "God's Redemption". After "Devil", Shu Penn has been paying close attention to Jiang Se. After knowing that she was going to star in Cesare's film, he has been following the news since it came out.
Unfortunately, it has been more than three years since the filming of this movie started, and the post-production took too long, resulting in countless negative news about this movie, which was originally highly anticipated by fans and was written by Cesare.
Especially as the production of "God's Redemption" has come to an end, it was previously rumored that it would be released first in North America on December 26th and simultaneously worldwide on January 1st.
With the team of "God's Redemption", the investors are the well-known foreign companies Borgia Family and Roundabout Company, the director is the experienced and famous director Cesare, and the Italian actor Donald joined. It has attracted a lot of attention along the way, and any piece of news can easily make the news.
Logically speaking, for a movie with such a strong cast, trailers should be released one after another in the first half year after the release date is confirmed to attract audience expectations and lay a solid foundation for the future release of the movie.
But what is strange is that the investors have remained silent, contrary to their usual behavior.
It is already October, and there are only more than two months left until the official release, but the film company has still not released a trailer to hype up the movie. Instead, under frequent inquiries from fans around the world, the new developments released on the official website of "God's Redemption" have nothing to do with the trailer.
In such a situation, it is inevitable that rumors will spread.
There is speculation that this movie might be a failure of Cesare's. He can make exciting and thrilling action movies, the imaginative "Lost City" series, and commercial movies with outstanding box office results, but this is Cesare's first time to work on a film with religious themes, and it might be difficult for him to capture the essence of this film, originally titled "Prisoners."
After all, this novel, originally named "The Prisoner", is not considered outstanding in the eyes of many viewers. The book contains a lot of religious content and is extremely formal, making it a bit boring and difficult to read.
Rather than saying that "Prisoners" is a story, it is more like the author's self-definition of "God".
When Cesare announced that he was going to make this film, it attracted a lot of doubts, followed by some pessimistic voices.
It's just that he is very famous and the films he made have performed well, so his personal reputation overwhelms the voices of opposition.
Now as time goes by and December is approaching, there are still no behind-the-scenes footage or trailers uploaded for "God's Redemption", which makes Cesare's fans worried.
Some people in the industry have speculated that "God's Redemption" shot by Cesare might not be as satisfactory as expected. According to the current situation, some fans of Cesare are worried whether "God's Redemption" can be officially released as scheduled on December 26.
Because this is Jiang Se's first foreign-invested major film, Shu Payen often pays attention to it and refreshes the news on the official website of "God's Redemption" from time to time.
In recent years, it has been very difficult for domestic stars to go abroad. It is not easy for an Asian face to navigate the European and American markets with different skin colors. It is a very honorable thing for a Chinese actor that Jiang Se can join the crew of "God's Redemption".
There was no movement from the crew during the filming, and Shu Payen was worried about her, fearing that the release of the film would be full of twists and turns and that there would be changes again.
Until today, when Cui Zhangcheng called him and told him out of the blue that the trailer for "God's Redemption" had been released, Shu Peien subconsciously asked:
"real?"
He still couldn't believe it. Before this, the investors had no intention of releasing a trailer. Even though netizens from all over the world had been asking this question on the official website half a year ago, the crew had never responded positively.
Many people are paying attention to this matter, but the film company has never given an explanation. Everyone thinks that if the plan remains unchanged, if you want to see Cesare's new work, you may have to wait until December 26th to see the full film in North America. The crew unexpectedly released the trailer at this time without any warning. (To be continued)
