Chapter 1332 The brilliant "King Arthur"
Since the birth of movies, Italian films have occupied a place in the history of world films. The filmmakers in this country have played a huge role in the development of movies. In history, Italy has also produced many excellent movies. It is worth mentioning that the huge and luxurious movies started from Italy first. The people of this country seem to have inherited the passion of the Roman Empire in their blood.
But since Mussolini ruled Italy, the pace of Italian films has stagnated. It is hard to say that this stagnation of Italian films may not have a direct relationship with Mussolini, but obviously, under his influence, the luxurious style that the Italian film industry has filled is obviously a key factor.
Italian films are now famous all over the world for "white phone" movies. Such a movie is actually not a complete praise, because this form of film has been greatly criticized for filmmakers in other countries.
So when it was reported that Lewislstone was going to cooperate with the Italian film authorities to shoot a movie, people couldn't help but think of the white phone movie. Because according to the current style of the Italian Film Bureau, if the style of the movie cannot meet their requirements, they will not invest in filming. This means that Lewislstone's movie is likely to be a movie full of "Italian Mussolini flavor".
However, the facts were beyond people's expectations. After the premiere of "Wolf Pack", it was popular among audiences across the United States, and the movie shocked Hollywood filmmakers in any aspect. This movie is not only not as full of the current artificiality of the Italian film industry as the audience imagined, but instead brought people an unusual shock.
It can be said that this movie is no less than Mileston's famous work "No War on the West Front". If "No War on the West Front" made Lewislstone a hit in the United States, then "Wolf Pack" will obviously make this guy make achievements in Europe.
This movie has an interesting perspective, that is, it puts the perspective in the ancient times, in the distant era of coexistence of humans and beasts. Lewis Myers uses a narrative structure and style similar to ancient Roman mythology to tell this story. This story is full of mystery, telling the story of Italian ancestors fighting against wolves. The struggle between humans and wolves is thrilling and shocking, and the entanglement between humans and beasts begins to become blurred in this movie. In the end, you can't tell what humans are and what beasts are.
In Adam Enstein's words: "The Wolf Pack is the most profound reflection on human nature among the world movies. In this movie, Lewislstone puts people into the beasts to trigger thoughts, allowing us to see the despicable beasts from humans. Compared with them, the wolf pack seems extremely noble. This technique is amazing. Lewis Mileston's movie is a masterpiece."
Adam Enstein's words basically talked about the theme of this movie. The most precious part of the movie "Wolf Pack" is not that it breaks the usual pretentious tradition of Italian films, but that it deeply tortures human nature through such a new vision.
Of course, Lewis Myerstone is also very smart. He knows that no matter where he is, the box office of the movie is always the key. No matter how artistic your movie is, if the box office cannot be recovered, there will be few people who will invite you to shoot a movie over time. For people like him who have just arrived in Europe, this aspect is obviously even more important. So in this movie, on the one hand, he attaches great importance to the artistic thinking in the movie, and on the other hand, he also attaches great importance to the visual effects of the movie. This guy put a lot of effort into the conflict between man and wolf, and the whole movie was shot by him, and blood was splattered, which made the audience feast their eyes and was very happy to pay for tickets.
"Wolf Pack" achieved very good results in the box office. Now, Milestone has completely gained a foothold in Europe.
Starting from "Bismarck" in Stenburg, this wave of movies from Europe was absolutely fierce, and it also achieved results that made Hollywood filmmakers jealous. When these filmmakers originally based in Hollywood, they returned to Europe and then returned to the United States, which brought a lot of earthquakes to Hollywood.
It can be said without hesitation that although these movies are imported products, their achievements and influence can definitely be equal to Hollywood movies.
And on the 20th, this group of European films welcomed their most awesome movies.
This movie is invested by the British Film Agency to film the film "King Arthur" directed by David Eun!
Speaking of this movie, it is really different from other local movies. First of all, other local movies, such as Bismarck, Wolf Pack, Immortal Land, etc., are all filmed in their own language. Although they are equipped with subtitles, it is still somewhat diametrical for American audiences to tell them. However, there is no problem at all in "King Arthur". The entire movie is played by British people. Not only can Americans understand it, but also about the stories and legends of King Arthur. Americans have heard of them countless times when they were young. Therefore, they also agree with them very much in culture.
The attention received by a movie is obviously much greater than other movies
Secondly, the biggest difference between this movie and other movies is that the production units of other movies are the local national governments, but only Adam Enstein's "King Arthur" invested in two units, one is naturally the British Film Bureau, and the second is the DreamWorks European Branch.
For American audiences, the latter name is so friendly. It is also because of this that they do not regard this movie as a movie from Europe, but as a movie from DreamWorks. Therefore, the popularity of "King Arthur" in the United States is far higher than any other movie.
In fact, this is just one aspect. Even without this reason, "King Arthur" will also receive attention. The reason is very simple, that is, this movie has long been one of the three most anticipated blockbusters in the world in 1933, along with "Chen Dynasty Kingdom" and "Alexander the Great".
Now, "The Kingdom of Celestial God" has premiered and "Alexander the Great" has also premiered, and the remaining "King Arthur" is naturally becoming more and more eye-catching.
The film was premiered in London and Los Angeles on the night of the 20th. The premiere was very grand. In the UK, King George V of England personally attended the premiere with a sick body and delivered a passionate speech. The old friend's speech made people feel very moved after listening to it.
"As the king of England, I have always been proud of the British culture, and I don't say that we have Shakespeare. However, in movies, I never dare to say that our British movies are the world, or even that British movies are one of the best movies in the world.
I dare not say that we have huge political, economic, and military power, but in movies, we are a Confucian. We have never paid attention to movies, and the British have achieved great success in movies. For decades, there have been very few movies from Fighters Hollywood and other European countries screened on the land of Britain, and we have produced very few movies, even in terms of quality, and we cannot watch them."
"Before, I didn't care much about this. I always thought that movies are just a playground and entertainment tool. But this idea has changed since I watched Mr. Corleon's "Brave Heart". It was also at that time that I felt how ridiculous my previous view of movies was. We didn't fully see the functions of movies. And British movies are so pitiful compared to Hollywood."
"It was also from that time that developing British films has become an ideal for me. Over the years, I have done a lot of things for British films. My biggest wish is that the British can shoot a movie "Brave Heart". If this is the case, I can die and rest in peace."
"It is worth celebrating that now, our wish has come true. The filming and final completion of "King Arthur" will become the greatest thing in the history of British film and even cultural history. This does not only mean that we have a British "Brave Heart" from now on, but also a movie that we are worthy of forever pride and learning forever!"
George V has a high opinion of this movie. The filming of "King Arthur" has fulfilled the king's wish. He has always wanted the British to shoot a "Brave Heart". Now with the completion of David's masterpiece, British movies can finally have the capital to be proud.
The movie "King Arthur" is indeed very filmed. Not to mention anything else, David Eun is also a member of the DreamWorks director team. Not only did he undergo systematic training at the Corleon Film Academy, he also followed me hard to study with Griffith. In addition, this guy is very smart and has a lot of cellularity in movies, so this guy is very old-fashioned in the series of movies.
"At first glance, you can tell that "King Arthur" was from the hands of DreamWorks, because David's blood on DreamWorks is too pure. The movie's control of the huge scene reminds people of Griffiths. The handling of the story, the emotional preparation and the progress of the rhythm, especially the sublimation of the final theme, all make people think of Mr. Corleon."
"King Arthur and Brave Heart belong to the same category of movies, but they have their own unique characteristics. In this movie, David Reine also clearly incorporates his own artistic characteristics, the down-to-earth and elegant expression method from the British, which makes the movie "King Arthur" look very aristocratic."
"King Arthur will be the highest peak of cash British films, and it will definitely be an excellent example of war movies in the history of world cinema. The introduction of this movie is really a pleasure for us."
Adam Enstein admired "King Arthur", but his tone was obviously a bit disgraceful.
Not only is he so shameless, but all Hollywood filmmakers are so shameless.
"King Arthur" is the third film to sweep the United States after "The Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom" and "Alexander the Great". This film has impacted the Hollywood film market and also hit the hearts of Americans. It is a pity that such a movie was not produced in Hollywood.
But for our DreamWorks, it is obvious
There is a question like this. No matter where "King Arthur" is an American movie, we don't care. We only know that DreamWorks always make money no matter which country the movie belongs to.
The sensation of "King Arthur" has further intensified the rise of Hollywood movies. It led to the major film companies being eager to show their own movies before Christmas, and Hollywood was once again immersed in the premiere. For me, the premiere is not something that I just asked me to go over. Before that, I had to watch the invitation myself, otherwise it would be a bit easy to get into.
Just passed like this, Christmas is almost coming.
"It will be Christmas in a few days." Looking at the snowflakes outside, I sighed.
The sky is covered with clouds, and it seems that it is going to snow. Such weather makes people feel a little more depressed.
"Boss, isn't it great to celebrate Christmas? Look at how much we have made now, and we're full of money. What else do you have to sigh?" Gans walked over and saw my appearance, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Gans, Andre is worried about the non-US investigation committee." Coolidge stood beside him and laughed.
No one understands me better than this old guy in this regard.
"Boss, are you still thinking about the non-US investigation committee?" Gans laughed after hearing Coolidge's words: "I thought it was a big deal! Boss, I don't think you have to worry about this matter at all. You just need to look at the current environment. Although before that, the non-US investigation committee was struggling us, now everyone is on our side. It is impossible for the non-US investigation committee to make a big splash. So, they are shrunk their heads and sighing in the store. Although they want to fight with us, they know that they will definitely not win."
Gans analyzed the matter well.
"Gans is right. Andre, we should take this matter a little more openly now. In this regard, I don't think it's possible that the non-US commission of inquiry would destroy us with a movie." Calvin did get along with Gans today.
"I won't care about this. What should we do now? Use calm to control the movement, it's good." I looked at the white sky outside, and my mood was still a little heavy: "I really don't know when this bitch-raising organization will go bankrupt!"
"It's so fast! Such an institution has now aroused public outrage and is probably not going to last long.
"Coolidge didn't know whether to comfort me or tell the truth.
Days have passed day by day, and the tail of 933 has also passed little by little. Seeing that the year has just turned over, my mood has gradually improved. Perhaps, the non-US investigation committee has really softened this time and I don’t want to cause trouble anymore.
This is obviously a great thing for us. The only thing I worry about is some accident.
Fortunately, thankfully, everything was very calm, and the non-US investigation committee was very calm, as if there was no one.
Days passed like this. Christmas came soon. On Christmas Day, DreamWorks made a big holiday. After working hard for a year, DreamWorks finally had a good time on this day. On Harvey Street, a grand party was held grandly, starting in the morning. The entire DreamWorks were filled with joy, and other Hollywood film companies were obviously holding such a banquet.
In my office, a group of people from DreamWorks gathered together to make jokes. They were very happy. They worked hard for a year and were worried for a year. Now they finally had time to relax. The group of people had even agreed to go to the Imperial Hotel to have fun at night. As a result, the proposal was highly agreed by a group of perverts led by Coolidge, Gans and others.
At noon, everyone was chatting when they saw Jimmy running in from outside.
"Boss, someone is looking for it." Jimmy whispered to me.
Looking at this guy's little face, I immediately closed the smile on my face.
Jimmy is my little doorman. This guy has known almost all Hollywood people now. Not only that, he basically knows anyone who deals with DreamWorks. When he meets such a person, he will definitely put him in directly. Such a notice obviously means that the person coming outside the door is a bit difficult.
My expression changed, and the guys around me stopped talking.
"Let him come in." I nodded to Jimmy, then picked up a pot of good tea in front of me, took a sip and looked out the door.
Chapter completed!
