By the time August arrived, the post-production stage of the film Emily had already been finished. The film's schedule was also set in September by Columbia, and in mid-August, the film will hold a premiere ceremony, and at that time, it will meet with the public.
This movie is different from the previous ones. Although Winona Ryder has not made very good movies in the past two years, as a top movie star, her influence is still there. And Levi is no longer an unknown director; he is already a well-known new director. The movie they worked on together generated a lot of anticipation and caught the attention of many people. Emily's promotion has been going on from a very early time. People are also very interested in what the film will look like.
When the movie was being filmed, some news was also revealed along with the promotion of the movie. First of all, people heard that during the filming of this film, Winona Ryder herself was moved by the script. While filming the film, her mood became better and better, and she got rid of long-standing depression and insomnia. Secondly, people also heard that when the filming of this film was almost completed, Levi said boldly that this film was not aimed at places like the Venice Film Festival and that it only wanted to be selected for the Oscars.
Levi had high expectations for the movie, and when the news spread, it immediately attracted people's attention. Levi is already an Oscar-nominated director. He said that his film shooting is aimed at the Oscars, which is quite credible. Moreover, seeing that he can even dismiss the Golden Lion Award, such confidence has given people a lot of room for imagination.
At the same time, someone has interviewed Winona. It is rumored that she has been in a good mood recently, and people want to dig out more news from her. Unexpectedly, Winona's attitude was also very abnormal -everyone knew that Winona had publicly apologized in front of the media because her movie's box office was not high. Although she is a big star, she is also quite self-aware. It's logical to assume that she should adopt a more low-key approach after three unsuccessful movies. However, this time, her attitude seems less cautious.
"I think it's a good movie - at least I was moved by it. I believe that this movie will touch a lot of people. It's a very, very good movie. I hope everyone will see it. It will absolutely be worth the ticket price. And I also believe that this movie's box office will be very high."
Winona did not hesitate to speak for her own movie. During her interview, she confidently predicted that this movie's box office would be great, despite her previous movies' performances. People became even more curious after her statement. They wondered just how good the movie really was to make both the director and protagonist so confident.
It is precisely because of this that the premiere ceremony held in mid-August also attracted much media interest. People also want to see if the movie is as good as they say.
It's clear that many media outlets are skeptical rather than enthusiastic about this movie. The opinions surrounding Emily's propaganda are varied and highly sought after by these media sources.
Some people took Levi's desire to continue fighting for the Oscars as a joke, especially considering the competition this year, such as the critically acclaimed film Saving Private Ryan which is regarded as an exceptional work on the theme of war. It would be quite a feat to surpass it.
"It doesn't make sense if the purpose of Levi's new film is to advance his career. While his previous film was successful, political and romantic comedies differ vastly. It's challenging to receive praise for romantic comedies, especially when Levi is primarily known for directing political films. There are reports that Levi mentioned wanting to win an Oscar for this film in an interview after its release. This is incredible arrogance. Is there a chance for another movie to win the Oscars this year besides Saving Private Ryan?"
Some people already believe that Levi is destined to fail, which makes his statements seem unrealistic. Additionally, Winona's confidence in the movie's success is drawing attention, but many are not hopeful about it.
"I still can't understand why the film crew of Emily is promoting this movie so much. If Winona Ryder wants to win at the box office, it must be impossible to succeed. The most successful romantic comedy this year is destined to be There's Something About Mary. The movie has made 60 million at the box office within just three weeks of its release. At the very least, this movie is guaranteed to make over 100 million at the box office.
The movie features Cameron Diaz's timeless beauty, as well as the charming presence of Matt Dillon and the emotional depth of Ben Stiller's performance.
A rare classic comedy, despite vulgar humor, definitely worth watching. This movie proves that the comedy effect is also an essential part of romantic comedy besides love.
It's hard to imagine that an actor like Winona Ryder can make comedy in a movie. And can a movie without humor be successful?"
In romantic comedies, on the one hand, love is the main line; on the other hand, of course, comedy elements are also required. Many romantic comedies are watched by men and women, and people want a relaxed and happy mood. Including comedy in movies can make them more enjoyable for people.
One of the most popular movies this year is "There's Something About Mary," starring Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller. This romantic comedy has been a huge success, grossing tens of millions in just a few weeks. Its popularity shows no signs of fading, and it's expected to reach hundreds of millions at the box office. This is a common trait of comedy films - they are meant to entertain and make people happy.
Winona Ryder's delicate beauty is often compared to that of an elegant elf. It's hard to believe that she would use crude humor, as it would clash with her refined image. Wouldn't that have a negative impact on the quality of the movie?
She is clearly a top actress in Hollywood, but instead of using her image as a vase in classical dramas, she has to shoot a comedy - her image is completely wrong; this is not a painting style at all!
There was a lot of discussion in the media, and generally speaking, they all held a conservative attitude toward this movie. People believe that Levi's movies should be innovative and unique in some places, but this is simply impossible if they want to beat Saving Private Ryan in terms of word of mouth and beat the same type of There's Something About Mary at the box office.
A meaningful but unsuccessful attempt by a new director - this is the title of the article that many media have already thought about.
There were quite a few such discussions, but Enigma Company did not quarrel with them in the newspaper this time. Just as people were talking, Enigma released the movie's first trailer.
The trailer is short, only about a minute long, but it was this trailer that changed everything.
The movie trailer begins with a vibrant green hue, and the supporting characters swiftly make their appearance before the camera. Al Pacino's voiceover provides a soft narration of the story. As the camera focuses on Emily, the soundtrack by Yann Tiersen fills the scene with the sound of a violin, complementing her smile that illuminates the screen.
Then, it was Emily who was in trouble; Emily found the box, was shopping, chatting with people, and met the hero... and in the process of all this, Emily's beauty and smile are also consistent throughout.
The movie features beautiful violin music, vibrant colors, and captivating scenes in New York. Winona's smile and Al Pacino's magnetic voice add to the film's charm. Despite only showing for a minute, Emily's character is already beloved and known as an angel.
An optimistic and hearty protagonist, pictures full of dreams, and good music — this is indeed a beautiful world where angels live.
"No matter what the movie is, the promotional video of this movie is really good." After seeing the promotional video of the movie, many people said the same words, "This movie looks beautiful."
It looks beautiful - this is the first impression people have of Emily.
The trailer has few still images, music, and smiles, lacking a clear storyline. However, with Emily's charming smile, vibrant colors, and stunning New York scenery, viewers find it relaxing and joyful.
What a strange movie. It turns out that just watching a trailer can make people relax a lot and even feel a little happy.
A movie like this surprised the media: Levi apparently found something more appealing to audiences than cheesy jokes: beauty, music, scenery, smiles — a spiritually beautiful New York was perfectly captured in the film. It is different from the hustle, bustle, and filth of the real New York; it is so dreamy and so yearning.
If other movies are used to scratch the audience with their own vulgar jokes and force the audience to laugh, then this movie uses very gentle emotions to convey joy to the audience compared to those who laugh and forget. The vulgar jokes of this kind of affectionate joy have no words and cannot be expressed in words, but they are more lasting and soul-stirring.
"Maybe Levi really made something amazing." The media also had a new view on this, "It seems that their new film premiere, it is necessary to go and see it."
Such a movie, of course, is necessary to watch - even if you only watch the one-minute trailer, people will all realize that compared to There's Something About Mary, the victory of this movie is ultimately a victory of style.
This kind of victory, you only need to watch the one-minute trailer to know it!
