: Before the 3-year Hollywood movies, this batch of movies was released in the mid-year period, regardless of whether it was the audience's discussion, this batch of movies was simply not comparable to that of the last year's movies. Professionally provide e-book downloads.

Because these movies seem to have no momentum in terms of investment in movies or influence. More importantly, in the eyes of many people, these movies are almost all transformational works by these directors. For these directors who have achieved success, transformation is not an easy task, and to a large extent means that they may lose their fate of failure. For ordinary directors who have just debuted, there is no question of transformation or not, and even if it is a transformation, these directors can complete the transformation quickly, but for directors like Chaplin and Liu Bieqian, transformation definitely means huge risks.

I still believe the words of Edwin Porter, an old senior American movie. The old man once said that for a director, in most cases, he can only shoot one type of movie in his life, and it is the only type.

Edwin Porter's words are very popular in Hollywood. Although many people didn't believe the old man's words at first, including me, later everyone realized that the words said by the old man were completely truthful and solid truth.

For a director, after all, his life experience is certain, and his thinking is certain, which determines that he can often only explore his own field in movies. Chaplin's comedy and Hitchcock's suspense movies are the best proofs, and once he transfers to the field they are not good at, the result will definitely be unsatisfactory.

In Hollywood, there are examples of failures in transformation works everywhere. It is the best proof that this famous director of the filming of social problems has wanted to transform many times, but he encountered walls and failed again and again, and finally had to return to the film of social problems. As for other people, there are countless others.

It is also because of this situation and a state that has become a common practice, which makes the public and the media very interested in so many directors choosing to transform at the same time. They are interested not because they want to appreciate the masterpieces of these directors, but because they want to see how these directors cry.

Chaplin shaved his beard and threw away his crutches. Frank Cape came not to shoot a love movie, and Liu Bieqian played a nostalgic movie. Any of these news would attract widespread attention when published in the newspaper, let alone gathering together at the same time.

What's even more terrible is that when the people and the media were waiting to watch these directors bruised and swollen, these so-called transformational works appeared. Not only did they fail, but they achieved high artistic achievements and completely became perfect masterpieces. Such surprise made these films achieve great success in box office and reputation, and the response was no worse than when the blockbusters were released in the middle of last year's film schedule, or even better.

The situation of failure that everyone originally thought did not appear, but instead formed a huge sensation. Both Hollywood filmmakers and the public set off a craze, and even the huge shadow brought by the non-US investigation committee was dispersed without a trace. Hollywood was like an explosion of atomic bomb, without any signs before the explosion, and almost no one expected that this batch of movies would have such great power.

But this was indeed an artistic nuclear explosion, which made everyone stunned.

It turns out that Chaplin can also send such a delicate movie! It turns out that Liu Bieqian can also make touching movies! It turns out that Frank Capra is also very skilled when making art films in addition to love movies!

Almost overnight, people suddenly realized that they didn't know these famous directors very much. These people became extremely fresh, as if they had just entered Hollywood.

Praise, discussion, followed by. Almost every movie was pushed to the forefront.

After these movies were released, two movies followed, which caused greater waves and waves in the United States.

In the mid-50s, the film "Public Enemy" directed by Stenberg began to be screened. This movie was named the most anticipated movie of the Hollywood mid-year film schedule a few months ago. After waiting for a few months, the people finally got a glimpse.

In addition to the reputation of Stenburg and DreamWorks, this movie has all the elements of becoming a focus movie. John Dillinger has become a legend without fail. Even the American media have called 1933 "Dillinger Year". In the people's minds, no matter how the federal government declares John Dillinger as a full-name public enemy. No matter how the state government encircles Dillinger, no matter how the media criticizes Dillinger, the people always think that John Dillinger is a hero and a real hero.

More importantly, the news that John Dillinger was shot dead by the Investigation Bureau allowed the public to witness a real tragedy, although the real Dillinger is now having a comfortable tea and chatting comfortably in Europe. Because of this result, the public more agree with Dillinger, and admires him more.

Many people sighed that when John Dillinger was shot dead, they also believed that John Dillinger should die so vigorously. If it wasn't like this, but was caught and hung in a mess like a dog, it wouldn't be John Dillinger.

John Dillinger, like Washington, and like Lincoln, became a legend. This legend survives in the minds of the people and cannot be shaken.

Just as the people were still immersed in their deep nostalgia for Dillinger, the "Public Enemy" directed by Stenberg was grandly released, which attracted everyone's attention.

Although the movies of Chaplin and others have set off a wave of viewing before, compared with this movie, the influence and appeal of previous movies are obviously not good.

The movie was released in theaters across the United States at the same time. On the night it was released, the whole United States became a sleepless country. John Dillinger's posters were everywhere inside and outside the cinema. Many people lined up to buy tickets after reading it once, and many people went there again and again.

The theater owner had to drive him out so as to provide seats to more viewers who did not watch movies.

After watching the movie, the people who watched the movie were reluctant to go home at all after they came out. Instead, they held various posters, banners and slogans to march in the city. The crowds gathered more and more, and finally became a surging sea of ​​people. This situation existed in almost every city in the United States.

During the days when "Public Enemy" was released, there was only one name echoing over the United States, that is: John Dillinger.

This name, in the mouths of the people, is no longer just a person's name, it has become a symbol, a symbol of justice and indomitableness.

The popularity of the movie is even far beyond my expectations. I never thought that Americans would like this movie so much. Previously, I just thought that such a movie had blocked a hot topic, but now it seems that the reason for such a scene is that in addition to the hard work of this movie by Stenborough, the more important thing is that it stuck the audience's mentality.

Although Americans have had happy times in the past or two years, there are too few such moments after all. For such a long time, the overall environment in the United States is depressing, depressed, and even suffocating. The people need to vent, but under normal circumstances, they find it impossible for them to really rush to the streets to confront the government and the police. In this case, they need a sustenance in their hearts and a person who can reflect their mentality.

The appearance of John Dillinger completely blocked the mentality of these depressed and suppressed people, just as a hungry person saw the clear spring water.

The people projected all their inner desires on John Dillinger and were fascinated by them.

"Public Enemy" not only captures the public's mentality, but also has been unanimously recognized by Hollywood filmmakers and theoretical research.

In this movie, Stenberg's portrayal of John Dillinger was very vivid in both expressions and from the inner world, and even after watching it, I was very satisfied.

Stenberg not only shows John Dillinger's well-known side, but also shows Dillinger's richer inner world. This man is a real man in the eyes of the people, a hero, a gravel-like hero. In "Public Enemy", John Dillinger is three-dimensional and vivid. He is also frightened when he robs the bank for the first time. He has a miserable childhood, but has a deep understanding of justice and freedom. He is a robber with a low level of education, but his understanding of life and life can make any philosopher feel ashamed. He is delicate and can pick up waltz with grace. He is fragile. He murmured to himself in an empty room to face the wall. He is pure and can play games with the children after robbing the bank. He is sad and falls to the ground and dies with his eyes closed when he is shot dead by the police.

It can be said that John Dillinger on the screen is not only the most successful character created in all Stenburg's films, but also the most flesh-and-blood character in Hollywood film history. Faced with such a character, no one is not conquered, whether it is a veteran filmmaker or an ordinary audience.

"Public Enemy" received even more praise than the previous movies of Liu Bieqian, Chaplin and others, and formed the peak of the mid-year movie schedule.

And if the above movies have either achieved artistic success, box office success, or both, then the last movie that emerged in the mid-year movie schedule will completely stimulate everyone mentally!

The "Midnight Bell" directed by Visconti made the people of a country fall into a terrifying abyss on the night!

"Last night, all those who have watched "Midnight Bell" spent their time in fear and trembling. The light in New York City, the people who were sent to the hospital because of excessive fear made the entire city of New York City almost paralyzed. If you could watch this country at a high altitude like God, you would hear the terrifying cry of the people of a country in unison!"

"Some people say that American horror movies will enter a new era from now on, some people say that "Midnight Bell" will become the highest peak among horror movies, some people say that after the movie is released, many telephone companies will go bankrupt, and some people say that many people will have nightmares for several months and are absolutely unwilling to watch TV alone in the middle of the night. And what I want to say is that I have seen the most terrifying movie in the history of world movies so far!"

"The reason why DreamWorks wanted to shoot this movie was because Mr. Hitchcock accused DreamWorks of not being able to make horror movies at all. This movie was an angry work of DreamWorks. Director Visconti and Mr. Corleon wrote the script himself. At the same time, Ronald Reagan and Ingreman, two new dreamWorks superb stars, took the lead. This movie is amazing in terms of controlling emotions, digging the characters' inner hearts, especially through the surrounding environment, which is amazing. It can be said that in Hollywood, no one will make such a movie, and no one will write such a script!"

"I don't know how Mr. Hitchcock will evaluate this movie after watching it. What I want to say is that if Hitchcock can't shoot such a movie, he will never shoot such a shocking movie!"

The day after the release of "Midnight Bell", the front page headline of the Los Angeles Times published a comment written by Grant himself. In the article, Grant highly praised "Midnight Bell" and praised it very much.

"A movie like this can no longer be evaluated in words. I only know that when I was watching this movie, I repeatedly screamed and grabbed someone next to me, and almost everyone around me was pale and did not dare to stare at the screen! There has never been such a horrible movie in Hollywood's decades of history!"

"Andre Corleon has become a horror master again. I have never thought that horror movies can be shot like this, and I have never thought that those things we are accustomed to can produce such a horror effect! I think when I think about it late at night, I will definitely be so scared that my face is pale. If the night is at night, I will definitely be scared.

When watching TV, when the TV suddenly has snowflakes, I will definitely turn a blind eye 7|Night Bell" has made the peak of Hollywood horror films and created a trend!”

In an interview with the journalist, Adam Bernstein claimed that he had watched this movie five times in a row, and he was sweating coldly every time he watched it. Later, his voice became hoarse.

"Midnight Bell" is definitely an anomaly in this group of movies in public. No matter what form it takes, no matter what story it tells, or the specific shooting method, it is basically art films, and its artistic quality is generally higher than the average artistic level of Hollywood movies.

This is also the fundamental reason why people are sensational.

But just as people talked about the artistic nature of these movies with relish, the appearance of "Midnight Bell" made the impression accumulated by previous movies on the public disappear.

When the film was first filmed, whether it was the promotional process of DreamWorks Film Company or the main creators of crews such as Stengberg were interviewed by reporters, they directly claimed that "Midnight Bell" is completely a commercial film, and there may be some artistic displays in it, but it is definitely not the overall film. The purpose of this film is to try horror movies, or to put it bluntly, it was a genre film from the beginning, so it has all the properties of a genre film.

In Hollywood, when it comes to genre films, the audience and filmmakers still have some impressions. The purpose is not to put artistic quality in place. The purpose is to make money. The plot is tight, the structure is fancy, and the gimmick is full of gimmicks. Anyway, it is just how to attract audiences.

If other filmmakers in other film companies believe that the films of genres are filmed by Andre Corleon, then a movie written by Andre Corleon is actually a real genre film, which makes them very excited, and most of them don't think so.

After the movie came out, although many filmmakers explored the artistic thoughts in the movie when evaluating this movie, such as the ugliness of human nature and the deformation of human nature under the pressure of society, most people have found that this movie is really an absolute genre film, and it is an extremely successful genre film!

This was something that no one had expected before. They did not expect that the movie written by Andre Corleon would be a complete genre film, and it opened a new era of horror films and reached the peak of horror films.

But that's the result.

Among the many movies in Hollywood's mid-year period, it is considered an anomaly "Midnight Bell". It can shine, which itself shows the success of this movie.

And I'm more looking forward to how Hitchcock will evaluate it.

The reason why "Midnight Bell" was born was because Hitchcock's accusation that DreamWorks could not make horror movies. It was also because of this reason that DreamWorks invested in the film in anger.

In fact, the reason why "Midnight Bell" is so sensational is not only because this movie is really good in horror, but also because of Hollywood's current level of horror films.

Hollywood has been established for so many years, and other types of films have performed quite well. Most of the genres have firmly occupied the top spot in world movies. However, horror movies are not very good. American filmmakers don’t know why, but they have not achieved much in this type of film, and there are only a few masters born in this field.

In this regard, Hollywood cannot compare with Europe at all. In Europe, horror movies have a long history. This type of genre has appeared on the screen almost since the birth of the movie. In the 1930s, European horror movies far surpassed Hollywood horror movies in terms of variety and overall level.

The reason for this is that most filmmakers attribute it to culture. Although the United States is very economically strong, it is a country with little cultural heritage. Compared with Europe, the so-called cultural traditions of the United States are pitifully few. Their so-called culture, that is, the school of the school composed of those studies, is even more funny, that is, they are often not Americans themselves.

Europe is different. Each European country has its own unique cultural traditions. More importantly, this is an open continent, and the cultures of each country will eventually be intertwined. For horror films, the land of Europe is simply unique. Whether it is the Gothic culture in Germany or the ancient legends in Nordic, they all give this type of movie a wing to take off.

Therefore, in this regard, European filmmakers have far more experience than Hollywood filmmakers, while Americans have far lower appreciation ability in this regard than European audiences.

Because of their low appreciation ability, American audiences are like children in front of horror films. Often, some scenes that seem very ordinary to Europeans can make these people scream, not to mention that "Midnight Bell" is just a fierce medicine.

So, although all walks of life in Hollywood and the public are crazy about this movie, I still want to hear how Hitchcock evaluates this movie. This is not to say that I want to see how Hitchcock makes a fool of himself, but to listen to his comments from the bottom of my heart.

Hitchcock is a master in this field, both in the United States and Europe. He is a veritable master when it comes to playing psychology and fear. I really don’t know how he will comment on such a movie.

On this issue, the media and the audience thought exactly the same as me. The media found Hitchcock at the first time and asked him how he viewed "Midnight Bell".

Facing the footage of the movie, Hitchcock's big face shook: "This is a top horror movie. I apologize to Mr. Corleon and the DreamWorks, and I withdraw my previous statement that Hollywood cannot make horror movies. I think this movie will become a classic in the history of horror movies. Such a subject, such form, and style are completely different from the horror movies in various countries before. It has completely created an era and an era of new horror movies."

Hitchcock's attitude towards this movie made me somewhat stunned. I thought he would at least defend himself, but I didn't expect this guy to bow his head so obediently, and in turn he praised "Midnight Bell". This attitude made me even more happy.

come over.

"Midnight Bell" left a perfect end to the Hollywood mid-year film schedule in 1933. Over a month after month, this group of films set a record in Hollywood film history: the first time there was a large-scale art film screening, many directors transformed collectively, and each film achieved great success.

Such a result made Hollywood filmmakers extremely excited. Many filmmakers shouted that the glory of Hollywood art films was about to come, and even the American people believed that Hollywood had reached its peak.

Hollywood is lively and the United States is lively, but the senior executives of major Hollywood film companies are always tight-knitted.

At the end of 5, a news came from the federal government. After a long negotiation between the federal government and the German government, Kuhn's death penalty incident finally received the final answer.

Coolidge and I had no idea that in this matter, neither the United States nor Germany wanted to make things bigger. After all, it would not do anything to anyone. Both sides just need a post.

With this mentality, the core of the negotiations between the two sides is undoubtedly how to make both sides have face.

The result of the negotiations between the two sides is as follows: the federal government allows the German-American Association to continue to exist, but this organization can no longer do things beyond its scope, nor can it cause internal riots in the United States like before. At the same time, the United States apologizes to Germany's conquest. The German government released American diplomats and withdrew troops from the US Embassy in Germany. The previous cooperation between the two sides in the economy and other aspects will not be affected.

Such a result made me laugh and cry. One thing is certain, that is, Kuhn, the unlucky guy, died in vain.

After the German and American storm subsided, DreamWorks became busy. Although the films invested by Stenberg and Visconti were very successful, this success was not only staged in the United States. Since the European branch became the main center of our business exhibition, all new films of DreamWorks will be released in Europe after they were released in the United States. In this way, it will not only enhance our DreamWorks' reputation in Europe, but also bring the profits of DreamWorks.

Compared with the US market, the European market is not bad in terms of scale or revenue. More importantly, DreamWorks' European branch has now formed a good influence among European people, and its reputation has even reached the big film companies in European countries, and gradually became the dominant European films. In addition, after acquiring France's Gaomeng Company, DreamWorks reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Germany and Ukraine, which has become even more like a fish in water.

In addition to France and Germany, the European branch exhibited very quickly in other countries and received strong support from various countries. In Ireland, the branch fully controlled all the cinema chains in this country. The Irish government and the Irish people had absolutely nothing to say about DreamWorks. In their eyes, the film company was their own people.

This situation is also in Poland. Poland was originally very backward in the film industry. As soon as DreamWorks European branch entered Poland, it controlled the entire Polish screening market without much resistance.

In Italy, the branch also reached a cooperation agreement with the Italian film department, becoming one of the few film companies that can be accepted by this dictatorial country.

In other European countries, DreamWorks European Branch also achieved a very regrettable achievement, and the only problem that occurred was in the Soviet Union.

As the only socialist country in the world, the current system of the Soviet Union and the ideological awareness of leaders are unlikely to allow us to enter their country, and even more unlikely to let DreamWorks control their cinemas, because it is their own propaganda position and it is absolutely impossible for us to occupy. DreamWorks not only cannot build a cinema in the Soviet Union, but even when the company's films enter the Soviet Union screening, they must be reviewed by the Soviet Film Committee. If the review fails, it cannot be implemented in the Soviet Union. Even if the review is passed, the film department of the Soviet government will wield scissors on many shots in the movies. In the end, the movies seen by the audience are often not consistent with the movies we actually produce.

Because of this reason, the group of people with whom the Soviet film industry had a good relationship with me, not as good as Eisenstein, Pudovkin and others, wrote letters to the Film Committee, proposing that DreamWorks should be widely introduced to strengthen the level of Soviet film work. As a result, the final result of these people was all political punishment.
