Chapter 984 The unrest caused by "Home Alone" Chapter 985 The soaring sky of "Tie Me, Tie Me"(1/2)
The death of Munau made DreamWorks overflow with sadness, which was definitely a huge blow to DreamWorks. But after the grief, Agelo's performance cheered everyone up.
Yes, Munau died, but the road to DreamWorks has to continue, which is the responsibility of all of us.
Robert Bresson, who has been chosen as the successor of Munau, naturally became the focus of DreamWorks training in the future. In fact, I am very confident about him.
However, it is not only the inside of DreamWorks, but also the Hollywood film industry and the public are also surprisingly enthusiastic about this young man.
The next day, major media published related reports, and the focus of these reports was on one person, Robert Bresson.
The Los Angeles Times said in its article: "Monau's death has made people care about who will be his successor in DreamWorks. In recent years, although Mr. Corleon and his old friends have taken the lead in DreamWorks, it must be pointed out that the performance of the new directors of DreamWorks is equally dazzling, such as Visconti, Robert Bresson. Although these two young people have not been a long time to join DreamWorks and have been in Hollywood for a short time, the ability they show is impressive. In terms of selecting talents, no one in Hollywood is a rival to Mr. Corleon. He always makes people feel that he has a talent for success, a talent that can be achieved in the rest of his life by just looking at a person."
"At the funeral of Monau, the man who carried the coffin in front was Robert Bresson, a young French man, who became a focus of the funeral because it showed that at least within DreamWorks, his identity as the successor of Monau was established, and then, we will see if this young man could continue to stick to the tradition of Monau."
"We should maintain considerable expectations for Bresson. This expectation is not only because Mr. Corleon chose him as the successor of Muno, but more importantly, the young man's achievements in movies. He is very likely to become another Muno in DreamWorks, and even do better than Muno."
I didn't know what to say after reading this comment from the Los Angeles Times. I said that I have talent in looking at people, nonsense. How could I not have talent? However, it was a bit surprising for them to be so confident about Buresong. But when I think about it carefully, they did not have confidence in Buresong, but they believed in my decision.
No matter what, having confidence is always a good thing.
Other media, such as the Los Angeles Tribune, Citizen, Hollywood Times, etc., have praised Buresong to a certain extent. After all, although Buresong has never made movies independently, everyone still sees his achievements at DreamWorks. However, some media also have very contempt for this young man.
The Post published a report with a photo on it, which was a standing film of Buliesong carrying the coffin.
At the beginning of the article, it was very unfriendly: "This young man's shoulders were too thin, and it was unlikely that he could lift Munau's coffin."
The subtext of this sentence is obvious.
Then, the article began a long discussion: "It is undeniable that Munau is a rare master of art films in Hollywood. His persistence in film artistically promoted the development of Hollywood and made Hollywood always have a fresh atmosphere. His success. On the one hand, because of his rich experience and experience in films, even in Hollywood, there are very few directors with such rich experience. On the other hand, in films, Munau has formed his shooting philosophy, which comes from life. He regards his attitude towards life, his observations and thinking in life, and his attitude towards films is as if a believer is facing God."
"So he achieved brilliant results. So he became a flag bearer and a movie master."
"But look at our Mr. Robert Bresson. We believe that Mr. Corleon is probably unable to find a helpless choice after his successor. Compared with Mr. Merau, Bresson has no experience in shooting and experience. More importantly, he does not have much life experience to form a complete film philosophy. This young man, like a baby standing on the track, can he step in as big as his predecessors standing in his position? It is already an obvious question."
"We don't think everyone can't expect too much from this young man, so this young man is too young, even though this sentence is a bit like a tongue twister."
I saw this article in the Post, and when I read it, Bresson was next to me.
"Robert, have you seen this article?" I asked with a smile.
"See, boss." Bu Liesong's face was very calm, without any turmoil or anger.
This made me nod my head secretly. Being able to keep my inner peace at any time is a prerequisite for being a good director. In this regard, this young man is better than me.
"Robert, what do you think of this article?" I smiled.
"Boss, let them say go, I just shoot my movie honestly. Once the movie comes out, everything will naturally be clear. A director, his best weapon is not his mouth, but a movie." Buliesong looked at me and shrugged.
I laughed, stood up and nodded repeatedly.
"Well said, well said. Let's do this, Robert, I will go back to continue filming "Death Poetry Club" tomorrow. After I come back from filming, I hope you can give me a script. How about it?" I whispered.
"Okay, I will definitely." Buliesong never drags his mouth when speaking, which I like very much.
"Okay. Work hard, try to shut up those who speak sarcastically." I squeezed my eyes at him.
After the Munau funeral, I brought the crew back to the set. One-third of the remaining "Death Poetry Club" must be filmed as soon as possible, because it was already mid-May.
During the filming process, news of other movies being completed and premiered was also heard one after another.
The first film that was completed was Mamorian, the director of Leidianhua Film Company. The filming of "Cross Street" was also very fast. Since joining Leidianhua Film Company, Mamorian was only a second-rate director, which made him very unwilling to accept it. After all, his ability was placed there. So this movie was obviously his rising work. It was also recognized by Carrey Rockefeller. In addition, it is said that film critics are very optimistic about this movie.
I have also learned a little about this movie before. The subject matter is basically a noir movie, which is a bit of a gangster, but the main focus is on the lower class people. Therefore, this movie is a caring work in this regard.
Unlike in the past, this time, Leidianhua Film Company launched a huge publicity for this film and achieved good results. After the film was released, it received a lot of praise. Many comments said that in this film, Mamorian combined Hitchcock's psychological film style and the DreamWorks School of Care for Vision. In this film, Mamorian said that this is what he tried to do.
In any case, the movie "Leodianhua Film Company" was successful. Mamorian's position in "Leodianhua Film Company" also rose to prominence with the success of this movie.
Movies that are also related to the streets. Kim Vito, director of the 20th Century Film Company, was also very successful. As a "tumbler" in the Hollywood film industry, Kim Vito rarely fails. Every movie is carefully selected and polished. Each movie is a small pearl. Although the content is simple and the story is small, it can always emit dazzling light and make people tremble.
The movie "Street Tragedy" is also a story of a small person, but it focuses on the prostitute. This is not announced by Kim Vito before. This theme is also a brand new theme in Hollywood movies.
However, Kim Vito did not deliberately attract attention in the prostitute, a place where it is easy to play, like a director, like a general director. His purpose is to truly record the life of this special group and show the destruction of human nature of the entire society through their lives. The characters in the movie, those prostitutes, ended up not having a good end, all died tragically on the streets, and their deaths were a complaint of the world.
After the movie was released, it also received widespread praise. The Los Angeles Times regarded the movie as a peak in King Vidor's film career. His way of paying attention to society became deeper and the movie became deeper.
The achievements made by this old Hollywood director are really remarkable.
However, the subsequent film suffered a crushing defeat and was full of criticism. The unfortunate director was James Wheeler of Paramount Films. The movie he shot was called "Frankenstein". First of all, this theme is no longer a new theme, because there was such a movie of the same name in Europe earlier. James Wheeler just changed the movie. The reason why Paramount decided to shoot this movie was because they wanted to make this movie a monument and achieve breakthroughs in related fields. After all, James Wheeler is still very capable in this regard.
But the result is that James Wheeler portrayed Frankenstein as an upright person, a person persecuted by society in this movie, which completely breaks the image of Frankenstein as a Frankenstein in the audience's previous minds.
James Wheeler's subversion may have been to create a peak ingeniously, but it was a result of being abused by the audience, the box office of the movie was bleak, and Paramount was even more tragic.
By late May, two movies were premiered one after another, one of which was the film "If I Have a Million Pound" directed by Liu Bieqian.
Last year, Liu Bieqian also filmed one or two movies and achieved considerable results, but these achievements are not very good compared to his identity, so this year he tried his best to make a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, such efforts really made him successful.
"If I Have a Million Dollar" should be considered a light comedy to be precise. Liu Bieqian has made his talent in this area perfectly. The whole movie is full of baggage and jokes, but there are not a way of winning by physical and funny scenes like Chaplin. On the contrary, the actors in the movie are serious and serious, and the audience likes this style very much. And Liu Bieqian has done a very good job, that is, when the audience laughs, they often feel sad when they laugh. They see a difficult society in their laughter.
Liu Bieqian obviously resonated with Chaplin in this regard.
After the movie came out, the box office exceeded $3 million in a week, which was a huge success. Warner Bros. Film Company was completely proud this time.
But Liu Bieqian never dreamed that just one week after his movie was released, he was completely submerged in the brilliant success of another movie.
This movie is "Home Imperial" launched by Crescent Films, directed by Heidi himself.
When "Home Imperial" was first filmed, it attracted people's attention. No other reason, it was just for two reasons. First, the starring in this movie really made the audience not pay attention. Duoduo, who once won the Harvey Award for Best Actor for "Paradise Cinema", is the most popular child star in Hollywood. His agility made the audience love it crazy. In addition, the opponents of Duoduo are the combination of Laurey and Hart, a combination of fat and thin, and now in Hollywood is the most brilliant combination that is as famous as Chaplin. The comedy audience likes it very much. How can the people not expect it if the three of them gather together to act in a movie like this?
Another reason why "Home Imperial" has attracted attention is that it has a name on the screenwriter's column on its promotional poster: Andre Corleone.
American audiences have now become a habit, that is, any movie directed by Andre Corleon or screenwriter produced by DreamWorks must be a bombshell, while any movie written by Andre Corleon produced by Crescent Films will definitely bring you huge surprises.
These two factors have caused the entire process of "Home Imperial" from the beginning of filming to the completion of filming, which has been surrounded by the media.
The movie premiered a week after Liu Beichen's film "If I Have a Million Dollar", which became the box office champion at this stage. However, as soon as "Home Imposses" came out, the theaters that screened Liu Beichen's film "If I Have a Million Dollar" were removed and all painted "Home Impossesses".
The reason for the theater manager is very simple: "As soon as "Home Imperial" came out, not many people bought tickets for Liu Bieqian's movie!"
As a result, on the first night of "Home Imperial" released, the busiest place in Los Angeles was the largest hospital in Los Angeles.
On that night, during the movie screening, audiences were constantly transported to the hospital, and almost all of these audiences had the same problem: they were choked while watching the movie.
It is the audience's favorite thing to bring in with food when watching a movie. As a result, when the movie was screened, everyone laughed so hard that they were choking. That was absolutely true.
Some people fainted from choking, some suffocated, some things were put into the trachea and needed surgery. What's even more funny is that some people choked even if they didn't eat at all. The doctor said it was because of saliva.
After that night, all the theaters that were screening "Home Imperial" had to make such a rigid rule: Any audience who went in to watch could not bring any food or water, and those who were drooling had their own handkerchiefs!
This is probably the first time in Hollywood's history that such regulations have appeared in cinemas.
"Home Imperial" became a hit and the box office exceeded 2 million US dollars that night. It was incomparable to Liu Bieqian's "If I Have One Million US dollars".
From California to New York, from Florida to the Great Lakes, the whole United States was immersed in laughter. In the end, cinemas across the United States were screening this movie. There was a huge poster at the door of almost every movie, and on it was a lonely and weird face. Below him was a fat man with a bruised nose and a thin man.
This poster often adds a sentence: "The most funny movie in Hollywood history! It's not worth the effort to laugh!"
After the premiere of this movie, one of the places Americans want to go the most is cinemas, American families. No matter how financially difficult it is, no matter whether he is a millionaire or a beggar on the street, he has to watch this movie.
Because of this movie, there are many fun things. When President Rootman was giving a report to Congress, he suddenly burst into laughter as he did the TV and radio broadcast. He stood alone on the speech stage, laughing almost out of breath. Everyone thought that the president was crazy or had his head clamped. Five minutes later, Rootman crawled out from the speech stage and wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, I just thought of the unlucky fat man and thin man in "Hometown".
As a result, the entire parliament suddenly turned over. The seats were empty, and the MPs covered their stomachs and laughed so much that they all walked out and walked under the chairs.
In Los Angeles, all the children who have watched this movie started to act. They learned from Duoduo in the movie and arranged numerous hidden weapons at home to wait for the unlucky thieves to break into the house. The worst part was their parents. Los Angeles hospitals often sent some strange patients: their butts were covered with knife and forks, and they swallowed a frog, and their butt was stuck on a heavy lounge chair and had to move the lounge chair to the hospital...
What makes doctors headache is not just how to deal with these patients, but when these patients arrive at the hospital, they will also make trouble for the doctors in a different way. In the First Hospital of Los Angeles, many doctors find that their pants fall off as they walk. An office doctor on the second floor thinks of going to the balcony to pant, but as soon as they push open the door, they fall off.
The prank soon spread in the United States. This country, whether men, women, young or old, or all the people, is happy. People should be very careful when they go anywhere, because if they are not careful, they will be hit.
In New York, people began to joke with the police. An unlucky traffic policeman, who had two big holes cut behind his pants, stood naked on the road without realizing his butt, and his photo was posted on the New York Times.
A movie makes all the people of the country, from the president to the poor, become unfair.
When President Rootman was interviewed by a British media, the reporter was very puzzled by the Americans' pranks now. "Mr. President, what do you think of people in this country now being keen on pranks? I was spoofed by someone when I came." When the reporter asked this question, there were still traces of cake on his face.
Rutman stood up with a serious expression and said to the reporter: "Sir, you are waiting for me here. I will go get something. You will understand at a glance."
The reporter was waiting outside honestly, but after a while, Rutman indeed took out something and put it in the box, and the reporter couldn't see it clearly.
"Mr. President, can I see what it is?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, you'll see it when you come over," said Rutman.
The reporter turned his face over.
As a result, Rutman took out a huge cake from the box and slapped it hard on the reporter's face. As a result, the other reporters in the room almost burst into laughter.
"Did you see it? We are happy!" Rutman pointed to the laughing people and said to the poor reporter.
"Home Imperial" made the people of the United States happy. The dull life in the past began to become interesting. Although the economy was in a recession, people were having fun in their hardships and their lives became rich and colorful.
A movie changes the mood of a country, a child, a fat man and a thin man, and three actors, making a country lose a long-lost happiness. In this sense, this movie has achieved great success.
In addition, in terms of specific matters, "Home Imperial" has also made a contribution: the burglary cases in the United States have plummeted, and the thieves who were originally rampant now do not dare to enter other people's houses because they know that there may be terrible mechanisms in every house.
In many places, the people simply hung a huge sign on their doors: Dear Mr. Thieves. There is a lot of money in the house. Please come in.
The more people do this, the weaker the thieves will be. In the end, even if an unlucky thief is caught for stealing the house, the police will not be beaten up like before and then taken to the police station. They often pat the thief on the shoulder and ask with a smile: "How many times have they been punished today?"
"Several times." Thieves usually answered this.
"Okay. Then go to our police station and we will continue. OK?" Meeting such a policeman is considered a lucky thief.
The most cruel thing is this: "Now I know who you are, and where you live, so I'm not afraid of you running away. There are five families in this town with Mexican sugar beans in their living rooms. Before it gets dark, you can bring them to me the jars of sugar beans. Remember, no one can be missing."
