    Orson Welles was a wild and unruly man, and he must not be treated like an ordinary person.  Hearing that his debut novel was about to receive a series of hits, if it were anyone else, he would probably have grown mad, but instead of worrying, Welles was extremely excited.  ¡°Tell me, come on, tell me, what kind of scolding will I get?¡± Wells licked his lips and sat across from Victor.  Victor was almost speechless: "How do I know this?" "Compared to you? I mean, compared to the bloody scolding you got last time?" Wells seemed to have to compete with Victor in everything.  Comparable.  ¡°Brother, is it fun to be scolded?¡± Victor said happily.  "That was quite enjoyable. Seeing those idiots getting mad, what could be more joyful in the world?" Wells said, "I'm satisfied if I can be scolded almost as much as you were last time."  " "Okay, okay, you have the guts." Victor nodded, and then said: "Actually, I'm also curious about how they scold you." The two looked at each other and smiled.  The next day, Victor got up early and sat at the table waiting for the newspaper.  It is estimated that Wells is also waiting anxiously at this time.  Soon, Baggins delivered the newspaper. After reading it, Victor was really stunned. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Moreover, Orson Welles was even more scolded this time than when he was filming "No Country for Old Men."  At that time, even though Victor was scolded bloody, at least some people in Hollywood, such as John Ford, Kim Vidor, etc., supported him, but in front of him was the "Hollywood Review".  Almost all of them are critical articles, and each one is more violent than the last.  Each article is more harsh than the other.  Although Victor had a premonition that Orson Welles would be scolded, he never imagined that the criticism would be so severe.  In the history of film, the reason why "Citizen Kane" is called the greatest film is entirely because it served as a watershed, dividing Hollywood into two, completely destroying the traditional Hollywood film model, and comprehensively establishing the narrative model of modern films.  That's the great thing about it.  But in the 1940s, Wells's techniques were obviously too trendy, and many people simply couldn't accept them.  Look at what Hollywood filmmakers are criticizing - "Orson Welles doesn't understand movies at all! What Hollywood movies emphasize is the objectification of the story, and there must be a basic objective story. Take a look at this "Citizen"  "Kane" is not only highly subjective, but also the narrative is mixed and reversed. This method is simply stupid!  After the complete story, there is a closed ending, a final presentation that is settled in the film. The audience cannot see the ending at all, or in other words, the conflict is not resolved at all. This completely violates the law of conflict diagrams in movies!  ! " "Characters have no personality! Hollywood movie characters are stereotyped, and the audience should know their character and position as soon as they appear! Look at the characters in this movie, they are completely different from real life.  It¡¯s no different!¡±¡­ ¡°The footage is messy! The editing is too fast! It¡¯s a harvester-style movie that has no regard for the audience¡¯s viewing experience.  The emotions are often castrated in such editing! It¡¯s completely unqualified!¡±¡­ Among Hollywood filmmakers, it¡¯s okay to be old-timers like Chaplin and Teacher DeMille, at least for their time.  It has passed, but stalwarts such as Hitchcock, Lubitsch, and Capra also unanimously criticized it, which made Victor feel that it was a bit too much. ???????? Do these people really not understand what¡¯s going on here?  You should be able to understand a little bit. ???????? Then why the lashing out so violently?  Obviously, it¡¯s because the classic narrative style and tradition established by Hollywood over the past few decades are too deep, deep enough to assimilate anyone!  All new and creative attempts in Hollywood will not fail to hit a wall at the beginning!  Seeing these comments, Victor became angry.  Who are these people!  At this time, the phone rang.  It¡¯s Orson Welles.  The guy burst into laughter on the other end of the phone: "Victor, did you see that? Haha, I'm satisfied! I even scolded you harder than I scolded you! Hahahaha! Okay! Okay!" "Is there something wrong with your head? Are you scolding you like this?  Are you still happy?" Victor said.  "Why are you not happy? I said, there are not many people in Hollywood who know about movies, so why bother with these people." Wei ?Si Dao.  "Don't you want to say a few words for yourself?" "My balls hurt. I still have to go drink. After the movie is finished, it's not my business. They can do whatever they want and say what they want.  "It has nothing to do with me." Wells' temper is really stubborn.  "You should show your ideas and show your movie!" Victor said loudly.  "Forget it. I'm not good at this. I'm just a filmmaker, not a theorist. By the way, Victor, if you have time, please give me a few words! Open fire on these idiots!"  Wells shouted.  ¡°You¡¯re a biaozi!¡± Victor cursed and hung up the phone.  "Baggins!" Victor shouted to the door.  Baggins came in and was startled when he saw the angry-looking Victor.  "Go and tell Jean and Fred that the filming of "Shawshank Redemption" will be left to them these days! I won't go," Victor said.  "Ah? Why?" "I want to write an article! A big article! By the way, you notify the editor of "Hollywood Review" and ask them to give me a space! If one page is not enough, then two pages!" Victor  said angrily.  ¡°The next two days and two nights, Victor didn¡¯t sleep a wink. After completing an article of tens of thousands of words, he handed it over to the editor of ¡°Hollywood Review¡±.  The next day, this article was published titled "What's wrong with Hollywood movies?"  ¡ª¡ªOn the Nature and Modernity of Film" was released. Once this article was published, it was like a heavy bomb that blew up Hollywood!  In this movie, which is more than 40,000 words long, Victor discusses six aspects including the nature of movies, montage and long shots, the nature of movies, the characteristics of Hollywood movies, it is time to bury the past, and the modernity of movies.  Taking "Citizen Kane" as an example, it made a stormy criticism of the so-called classic model that Hollywood has developed over the past few decades, and by the way, it criticized a series of outstanding people in Hollywood!  As soon as this article came out, Hollywood went crazy!
