Chapter 1149 Slut Vivien Leigh? Send it, ask for the moon

In recent years, Fox Film Company has obviously declined in its business. The quality of films is generally not high, and the company's efficiency is also declining year by year. The fundamental reason for this situation is naturally the shortage of talents.

In Hollywood, the reason why film companies can survive and develop is that talent is the most important thing. Films are human art. If a film company does not have the support of talents, it will never be able to go long. Whether it is a large company like MGM or Paramount, or a small company like celebrities or a frontier, it can bear fruit on this land in Hollywood because they all have their own talents to a greater or lesser extent.

Whether it is a director or a star, as long as you have some, it can bring benefits and fame to the company. For Fox Film Company, they are obviously very short of this aspect. Not only are there not many famous directors, but there are very few good actors, and there is even no star who can show off. This situation greatly restricts the development of Fox Film Company.

In the past one or two years, Fox Film Company has experienced a major personnel change. This personnel change is mainly reflected in the retirement of some old filmmakers within Fox Film Company. When these people were still in the company, Fox’s situation could still be sustained, at least to outsiders, it was still so prosperous. However, when these old filmmakers retired, did Fox Film Company recruit successors, so there was a situation of disagreement in talent.

In the Hollywood blockbusters, Fox Films is basically in a state of aphasia, and has no blockbusters, and has no such plans.

But this time, Fox Films cheered up and released a movie that was a big hit for them.

"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife", such a movie name has attracted many people's interest.

And when I saw the name of this director, I not only felt trembling inside.

Billy Wild!

This director is an absolute film master in the history of film and the only director at the Academy Awards who won three trophies in one award ceremony. The most famous thing about him is the discovery of Marilyn Monroe.

In movies, Billy Wild is a weird director, and is an abnormal number in Hollywood. His movies are largely different from those in Hollywood. His strong personal colors are his main characteristics.

Such a director was actually accepted by Fox. From now on, Fox Film Company will probably not be silent.

Fox Films also appreciates Billy Wild's talent. The boss Fox told the media: "Billy is a gift from God to Fox. He has the talent of becoming a first-class director. More importantly, his overall style is very appropriate to Fox Films. The cooperation between the company and Billy is pleasant. I am very optimistic about him."

As the owner of Fox Film Company, Fox naturally knew where his company's development difficulties were. He also understood Billy Wild's ability. It can be said that he had completely regarded Billy Wild as a life-saving straw for Fox. Therefore, he spared no effort to support Billy Wild.

In order to be able to better shoot the movie, Fox Films allocated the best production team to Billy Wild. He even gave him the power to mobilize the internal personnel of Fox Films at will, giving Billy Wild a broad space to play.

For his own movies, it should be said that he seemed to have officially launched his first movie in Hollywood. Billy Wild's attitude was extremely serious. At the press conference, he said to reporters: "In Hollywood, I am a newcomer. When I was studying at the Corleon Film Academy, I once heard the words of President Corleon. He had a sentence that impressed me. He said that making movies is a lifestyle and an art. It must require you to dissolve all your energy and pursuits into it. My talents may be very limited. But at least my attitude is correct."

Billy Wild's words made people feel good about him. This kind of director is obviously a Corleon Film Academy.

Billy Wild is not very old, at the age of twenty-six or seven. He has not yet opened up a path of his own, but has countless possibilities for his youth. Many people are very optimistic about him, including me.

In addition to Billy Wild, other film companies have also launched their own close partner of Fox Films, Columbia Films, this time taking the opportunity to launch their own films.

In the first half of the year, Colombia did not launch its own works in the blockbusters, and the action this time was very obvious. Colombian executives announced that Colombia would invest 7 million yuan to shoot a movie called "Red Dance Shoes".

The director of this film, none other than Stevens, is one of the pillars of the company.

As one of the double gun players of Columbia Film Company, Stevens' performance has always been known for its steady performance. The "Red Dance Shoes" that was launched this time is a work written and directed by Stevens. It can be seen that both Columbia Film Company and Stevens himself are very confident in this movie.

In addition to the advantages of investment and director, this movie has a great advantage, that is, it is starring Clark Gable. With him, any movie will be guaranteed at the box office.

Many people have huge questions about the investment in this film by Columbia Films, because Hollywood filmmakers know Stevens. This director is the kind of director who likes to shoot medium-investment movies. Judging from the name of this movie, it is obviously not a grand scene. Does it require an investment of US$7 million?

However, in an interview with reporters, Stevens said that the 7 million investment is just a conservative estimate and it is very likely that the budget will be overspent during the shooting process.

"This movie does not have any grand scenes of troops, but it will definitely become one of the most exquisite movies in all Hollywood movies. Its story, related to Broadway, can be said to be an epic film that reflects Broadway's history." Although Stevens is not willing to reveal the specific content of his new work, from his story, we can still guess the content of his movie.

To a certain extent, Stevens's selection of materials is very good. Since the first film of the Hollywood musical and dance films, they have been very colorful. Almost dozens of musical and dance films are produced every year, and the people always have a love attitude towards this type of movie, and musical and dance films have a fixed audience.

However, among the song and dance films, the only movie that uses Broadway's development as its main expression is Stevens.

Speaking of Broadway, it has been famous for a long time in the United States and the world, but few people may have very clear about the history of Broadway. If this movie is well filmed, if it can shoot the unique historical process of Broadway from scratch to the earth, it will obviously be an extremely excellent movie, and it is entirely possible to succeed. Besides, the male lead in this movie is still Clark Gable.

"We will work hard to make this movie a weird flower in Hollywood movies this year! We have the confidence and ability!" John Cohen made such requests and expectations for this movie.

With the start of filming of "Titanic", the second blockbuster in Hollywood has arrived. Under this surging situation, Hollywood seems so lively and brilliant.

When these blockbusters were announced to start filming, two films premiered, which attracted strong attention.

In mid-August, the film "A Generation of Beauty" invested by Leiddhua Film Company, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, began its premiere.

When this news came out, it immediately occupied the front page headlines of major media.

The movie directed by Hitchcock was once one of the highlights of the Hollywood blockbuster trend. Not to mention the others, just starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, has already made a myth for Hollywood movies!

Any of these two people will trigger a movie viewing frenzy, not to mention that this movie is the first time that the two of them have played against each other.

Originally, the schedule of this movie would have been completed very early because there were no big scenes in this movie. Alfred Hitchcock himself was able to shoot the movie in Hollywood, but later, Lawrence Oliver slapped Vivien Leigh, and then someone discovered that Vivien Leigh and Hitchcock were entangled and had ambiguous relationship, which made the movie fall into a quagmire all of a sudden.

In the eyes of the people, Vivien Leigh is their princess and an elf with a halo, but Vivien Leigh's actions annoyed the audience.

In the United States, celebrities who are deeply loved by the audience may be the happiest people, and the audience's love for their beloved stars cannot be expressed in words. They can queue up all night to see their idols, and they will fall into madness because of the joys and sorrows of their idols. While the audience regards the actors as stars, they will often regard them as their lovers, children or parents.

That kind of relationship is often mixed with a lot of complex family affection, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

As one of the most popular stars in Hollywood, Vivien Leigh is very popular in the United States, and the people like this woman. In their minds, Vivien Leigh is a pure angel.

But the series of things that happened next surprised the audience who liked Vivien Leigh. They were first slapped by their palms and then found out that they were getting together with Hitchcock. This made the public completely out of anger.

In the United States, although many people think Hitchcock's movies are very good, they only evaluate his movies in this way. The public's personal evaluation of Hitchcock is not high. When he and Vivien Leigh got together, the public's disgust towards him even more, and this disgust was transferred to Vivien Leigh.

Vivien Leigh time has caused Hitchcock and Vivien Leigh to suffer an unprecedented dilemma, and the reputation of the two plummeted. At the same time, Lei Dianhua Film Company also suffered an unprecedented blow.

Originally, Carrey Rockefeller also wanted to fight against the blockbuster movies of Hollywood film companies with DreamWorks as the core by investing in two movies: "A Generation of Beauty" and "Cleopatra". If Lei Dinghua wants to avoid being submerged, he must withdraw from such a work.

Hitchcock's movie is the main feature of Leidianhua Film Company. Not only did it invest more than 10 million yuan, Leidianhua tried his best to do it for the movie, and even brought Clark and Gable over it.

Such a move is not unreasonable, but it was a mess by Vivien Leigh and Hitchcock.

Carrey Rockefeller, the owner of the film company in Leidianhua, was so angry that he almost vomited blood because of this incident that he scolded Hitchcock as an animal with his lower body. After this incident, Leidianhua had to take a series of critical public relations measures in the face of the roar of the surging people.

First of all, a group of senior executives of Leidianhua Film Company stood up immediately. They apologized to the public for such a thing happening within Leidianhua Film Company, claiming that they would deal with it seriously and that the whole matter must be cleared.

There is obviously no way for Lei Dianhua's senior executives to make such statements. Logically speaking, the things between actors and directors are completely their freedom, and the company has no right to interfere, but this time it is indeed different. Who makes Vivien Leigh like so many people?

Then, Leidianhua Film Company had to adopt a common practice of Hollywood film companies to deal with the crisis: delaying the filming time of the film.

Postponing the filming of the movie is obviously a helpless approach. After a movie is confirmed to be filmed, it will postpone the filming after all preparations have been completed. This will not only cause a lot of economic losses. It will also have a great adverse impact on the relevant personnel of the crew. As for the company's reputation, it is obviously unfavorable.

Moreover, most importantly, the film directed by Hitchcock is the main film of Leidianhua Film Company. In other words, this film is used to take the lead and is used to postpone the film stage produced by a number of film companies with DreamWorks as the core, and the filming was postponed. It undoubtedly missed the best opportunity.

However, Lei Dianhua has no better way. Under such circumstances, if the filming is still normal, it is estimated that the crew will not be able to work normally, so they can only postpone the filming and wait for the audience's attraction to change.

In addition, Leidianhua Film Company also took a better approach, that is, the two people who caused trouble this time were hiding. After the Vivien Leigh incident, the protagonist Vivien Leigh was sent to Europe by Leidian Flower Film Company. No one knows the specific location. Some people say that Vivien Leigh was sent to a manor in the countryside of the UK, some say that he was sent to an island in the Nordic, and some say that he was sent to a church in the Mediterranean. There are many different opinions, no one knows where Vivien Leigh went during that time.

As for Hitchcock, this guy disappeared during that period. Although Hitchcock didn't like going abroad, he prefers to stay in his villa, the senior executives of Thunderbolt Film Company obviously would not leave him in the United States to make the people angry, so they sent him to Germany and France for film inspections and study, which was quite good for Hitchcock. In addition, Kerry Rockefeller, the owner of Thunderbolt Film Company, was very angry at Hitchcock's actions this time. He also punished him within the company, not only took away his position as an artistic director, but also issued a ticket of 2 million US dollars, which means Hitchcock has been in vain for a year.

However, Hitchcock still recognized the punishment from Lei Dinghua Film Company. He accepted it calmly and then ran to Europe.

The next thing was obvious. Although the people were worried about Vivien Leigh’s incident, their attention was gradually attracted by other things, and they gradually forgot about it, and their emotions gradually cooled down.

When the domestic situation eased, Leidianhua Film Company urgently retrieved Hitchcock and Vivien Leigh and asked them to shoot the ill-fated "A Generation Beauty".

Compared with other Hollywood blockbusters, the schedule of this movie is obviously lagging behind. In this case, Hitchcock took his crew to conduct rescue shooting. The shooting progress was extremely fast. It was completed in early August, and then it chose to premiere in mid-August.

In terms of shooting speed, this may be Hitchcock's fastest movie, but it also shows that Hitchcock was still very smooth when shooting this movie, or that guy was filming under tremendous pressure, and there is motivation when there is pressure.

The filming of "A Generation of Beauty" was almost done in secret. Not only did there be no reports in the media, but Lei Dianhua Film Company also changed its original arrogant style. There was not much publicity for this movie.

So when the movie passed the movie censorship at R-level and then announced its premiere, people across the United States suddenly remembered that there was such an unusual movie!

A strange atmosphere spread among the people. The people's mood for this movie was complicated. On the one hand, they felt unhappy and even disgusted with Hitchcock and Vivien Leigh. At the same time, they wanted to see what the movie was like. After all, this was a passionate collaboration with Clark, Gable and Vivien Leigh.

The result was completely as expected. Although the people were emotionally rejected by this movie, the vast majority of people still chose to enter the movie to watch it.

After watching, the movie also attracted the attention of the movie, and the box office was so popular that it made the senior executives of Leidianhua Film Company overjoyed.

This result was within my expectations. Although the public was a little disgusted with Hitchcock and Vivien Leigh. But they were still irresistible to this movie. In any case, the names of Clark, Gable and Vivien Leigh were already attractive enough.

The biggest surprise is within this movie. "A Generation of Beauty" was rated as R-level. This shows to some extent that this movie is obviously very distinctive in some aspects. What is unexpected is that the biggest reason why "A Generation of Beauty" was rated as R-level is Vivien Leigh's passionate performance in it.

If in the previous movie, Vivien Leigh completed the expansion of her acting career with a subversive image, from a tough and tenacious Scarlett to a sexy and coquettish woman, then in this movie, Vivien Leigh’s character is obviously a slut.

She plays the role of a singer who is coquettish and coquettish, selfish and smart, playing with men in her palms, and finally ends with a tragedy of being in love.

In this movie, Hitchcock regarded Vivien Leigh as the most stimulating test subject to the audience's attention. His behavior was very bold, to some extent, a kind of gambling, but the result was that he won the bet.

It is precisely because of Vivien Leigh's image that the people can't stop as if they have taken drugs. No matter how people have any objections to Vivien Leigh now, they cannot get rid of Vivien Leigh's coquettish look on the screen.

Therefore, Hitchcock's movie should have been successful.

"Mr. Hitchcock's movie has caused a huge wave of renderings in the past few months. This result is not because of the movie, but because of scandals. This is very similar to hype, but both Lei Dinghua and Mr. Hitchcock himself have suffered heavy losses in this storm."

"If it were a normal company, it would be very likely that this movie would be abandoned. Because if you continue shooting under such circumstances, you would undoubtedly face huge pressure. But Leidianhua Film Company did not give up. Instead, it insisted on shooting this movie."

"Overall, this movie can be regarded as a new peak for Mr. Hitchcock. In our impression, Mr. Hitchcock's movie was black suspense, the kind that makes people nervous. This movie obviously changed tremendously. Although there is a strong Hitchcock style in it, anyone who has watched this movie can feel that Mr. Hitchcock has begun a new exploration in this new work, and the overall style has become extremely sunny and even ethereal, which forms a strong contrast with his previous black and solemn style. Such a change is surprising."

"In addition, the actor's performance is also one of the highlights of this film. One of the fundamental reasons why this film has received great attention is because of the joint performance of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh. The most surprising thing is obviously Miss Vivien Leigh."

"Viven Leigh is famous for Scarlett and became famous throughout Hollywood. Then he completed the reversal with a subversive image. The image of that sexy woman fascinated countless audiences. This time, Viven Leigh completely took this path to the bottom. In this movie of Hitchcock, Viven Leigh's performance has obviously been pulled to the greatest extent! In the movie, Viven Leigh perfectly interprets the essence of a slut! Dare to love and be cruel, treat men as a plaything, but in the end he uses a tragic sound. A woman reflects the shadow of a world, and Viven Leigh shows her profound artistic skills!"

Stevens gave a very high evaluation of "A Generation of Beauty".

But there are obviously different opinions about this movie, one of them criticized Hitchcock!
