(Here I would like to wish everyone a happy new year, and wish all friends a happy new year! In the Year of the Rat, you will make a lot of money, your work will be promoted step by step, your wishes will come true, and everything will go well.)
Wang Yaocheng looked at Xie Yi silently, speechless for a moment, and did not make a promise hastily.
This is a sharp knife, if you don't use it properly, you will cut yourself.
Shay is a very capable producer who has been in the upper circles of Hollywood for decades. He has the unparalleled deep connections and advantages of Pan Shiyi and Huang Baiming, because he is a white man of Anglo-Saxon descent.
For Shay, the door to the upper-class circle was always wide open.
In the original history
Seeing the market potential of "The Lord of the Rings", Shay, who can produce many popular and popular films, is of course very talented. He also has a fatal flaw of film artists, that is, he is too big.
People with extraordinary abilities also have big spleens, especially those who are engaged in film art work.
This is especially true for Shay, who made a lot of money and became a rice farmer.
Otherwise, it would not be so wasteful that a New Line film company would be on the verge of bankruptcy, and it would have to sell itself to Time Warner, and continue to live without changing its habits.
In the end, it became hated by people and dogs, and it stinks ten miles away in the wind!
All those who engage in art have this characteristic;
When I was down and down, I couldn't even afford a bowl of instant noodles, and when I swelled up, I didn't recognize my relatives, and the waves were endless.
This is not a shortcoming of Shay alone, but a problem that most people in Hollywood directors and popular movie stars will commit.
? While making a lot of money, I was thinking about getting myself an Oscar statuette for fun.
From then on, I slowly went astray.
In Hollywood from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, Spielberg was the only one who could achieve both the box office and the Oscar statuette, so he is the greatest director in Hollywood.
The martial arts drama "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by the famous Chinese director Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
The success achieved in Hollywood has greatly stimulated director Ang Lee's new ambitions, and he followed up with a commercial blockbuster "Hulk", which almost made Universal Pictures lose their pants.
The famous Chinese-American director John Woo made his way to Hollywood. He filmed the popular and well-received "Face Changing", "Broken Arrow" and "Mission: Impossible 2".
What was the result?
year 2002
At the invitation of MGM Pictures, director John Woo and Nicolas Cage co-produced the blockbuster "Windtalker" reflecting World War II, trying to explore the profound connotation of war and peace, but it turned into a real box office tragedy, dragging MGM Films down. Lost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Therefore a battle
?Wu Yusen completely ruined his way to rise in Hollywood, and MGM Pictures also fell into the quagmire of losses.
Is it because the director can't make films?
of course not.
It's because I have too many ideas, and I want to add more heavy connotations to the film, reflecting on life, society, ethics and morality, exploring the good and evil of human nature, and world peace and so on.
All of this is catering to the preferences of the judges of major film awards.
The so-called professionalism, artistry and depth.
A commercial blockbuster is mixed with these things, the main line is unclear, and the sub-line of the plot interferes with the storytelling, and finally becomes nondescript.
If it is neither liked by movie audiences nor recognized by the professional judges of major film festivals, it will naturally hit the street.
European filmmakers are keen on art films, and have developed a special category of art films.
These high-cold things are not recognized by the general public, and can only be played in small circles. The movie box office is so bleak that it makes people cry, and the screening hall can basically run rats.
All kinds of
It is tantamount to film artists using investors' money to try and make mistakes, competing for nominations for major film festival awards.
this thing
The well-known Sunglasses King in Hong Kong is the most sneaky, and investors who lose money will jump off the building, but Sunglasses King is a frequent visitor to European and American film awards.
a moment later
Wang Yaocheng asked;
"Mr. Shay, have you deeply reflected on yourself, why did New Line Films come to this point?"
This question hit Shay's mind like a heavy hammer, forcing him to face up to the core issue that he had been evading.
After thinking about it, Xie Yi's eyes gradually became firm;
&??, low-level tastes are not spared, the ultimate goal is commercial box office.
Directors are different. When filming commercial blockbusters, they will use their directorship to add some emotional sidelines;
? Such as ethics, family and responsibility, reflection on society, etc., I hope to try my best to show works that are eye-catching.
Different positions will inevitably lead to differences in ideas, which is nothing more than normal.
1980s
Director Michael Cimino, who just won the 51st Academy Award for Best Picture with his Vietnam War film "The Deer Hunter", is full of ambitions to launch an attack on the best director of the Oscar and shoot a commercial blockbuster that demonstrates profound ideas.
At that time, director Michael Cimino was very popular in Hollywood, and there was only one requirement for the film he directed, and that was to obtain the final editing rights of the film copy.
Picking from left to right, Michael Cimino finally got the guide tube of the movie "Heaven's Gate" and started to work hard.
but in the end
This blockbuster, which cost $44 million, only got back a North American box office of less than $3.5 million.
The disastrous failure of "Heaven's Gate" directly led to the disintegration of the investor, United Artists, and also ruined Michael Cimino's infinitely bright director career, from a sweet pastry to a stinky shit that no one cares about.
Poor United Artists, who was shot, used blood lessons to prove the importance of the final editing rights of the film.
This film company, which came from the golden age of Hollywood and was established by Chaplin, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks, could only be sold to MGM in the end, and stopped film production and was only responsible for distribution.
Wang Yaocheng will not bet his own money on the director's professionalism. The producer of Marvel Entertainment Film Company is the person who helps the film company keep an eye on the money bag. His status is very important.
In the final editing of the film, the producer will meet with the producer, and the director will stage round after round of fierce quarrels.
The director tries to keep more of his private goods in the final copy to imprint a distinctive personal mark on the film, while the film company will decisively cut out all unnecessary things and only keep elements that are beneficial to business and box office.
therefore
In a Hollywood movie, there will be a difference between the final film copy and the director's cut version, which is a concrete manifestation of this profound contradiction.
The movie copy version is more than 80 minutes long, and the director's cut version may be as long as 120 minutes. For the director, the cut 40 minutes are all sweethearts.
Every cut is an unbearable burden for life. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
