Chapter 130 Blockbuster!
Orson Wells is a man with a strong wind and unruly wind, so he must not treat this guy as an ordinary person. Hearing that his debut work will face a series of blows, if it were someone else, it would have been a long time ago, but Wells is not only not worried, but is extremely excited.
"Tell me, come on, tell me, what would I be scolded?" Wells sat opposite Victor with his lips licked.
Victor was almost speechless: "How do I know this?"
"Compared with you? I mean, compared to the bloody thing you were scolded last time?" Wells seemed to have to be compared with Victor in everything he did.
"Brother, is it satisfying to be scolded?" Victor said happily.
"That was quite satisfying. Seeing those dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-dog-do
"Okay, okay, you have a habit." Victor nodded and said, "Actually, I'm curious, why 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.
I guess Wells is waiting anxiously at this time.
Soon, Baggins delivered the newspaper in, and after Victor read it, he was stunned.
He was really scolded. Moreover, Orson Wells was scolded even worse this time than when he was filming "The Old Nowhere to Belong to" himself.
At that time, although Victo was scolded, at least some people in Hollywood, such as John Ford, King Vido, etc., supported him, but the Hollywood Review in front of him was almost all criticized articles, and each article was more fierce and more severe. Each article was scolded fiercely.
Although Victor had a premonition that Orson Wells would be scolded, he never expected that the criticism would be so powerful.
In the history of film, the reason why "Citizen Kane" is called the greatest movie is entirely because it acts as a watershed, dividing Hollywood into two, completely destroying the traditional Hollywood movie model, and fully establishing the narrative model of modern movies. This is its greatness. But in the 1940s, these techniques of Wells were obviously too trendy and many people could not accept it at all.
See how Hollywood filmmakers criticize it-
"Oson Wells doesn't understand movies at all! Hollywood movies emphasize the objectification of the story and need a basic objective story. Look at this "Citizen Kane", which is not only subjective, but also mixed and reversed in the narrative. It completely violates the chronological order to arrange the plot! This technique is simply mentally retarded!"
...
"The charm of the movie is that after completing a complete story, it has a closed ending, a final presentation of dust, and is engraved in this film. The audience cannot see the end at all, or in other words, the conflict is not resolved at all! This completely violates the law of the conflict diagram of the movie!"
...
"The characters have no personality! Hollywood movie characters are typified, the kind of person who should know their personality and position as soon as they come on stage! Look at the characters in this movie. They are nagging, and they are completely no different from those in life!"
...
"The camera is messy! It is blurry! The editing is too fast. It is dazzling! This kind of movie is a harvester-style movie! It completely ignores the audience's viewing experience. The emotions accumulated by the film are often castrated in such editing! It is completely unqualified!"
...
Among Hollywood filmmakers, it would be fine if old antiques like Chaplin, Cissy Dimil can't stand it, at least their time has passed, but the backbone forces like Hitchcock, Liu Bieqian, and Capra even criticized them unanimously, which made Victor feel a little too much.
Do these people really not understand what is here?
You should understand a little.
Then why is it so fiercely? Obviously, it is because the classic narrative style and tradition that Hollywood has established over the past few decades are too deep, deep enough to assimilate anyone! All fresh, creative attempts are not something that will not hit a wall in Hollywood at the beginning!
Looking at these comments, Victor was furious.
Who are these people?
At this time, the phone rang.
It's Orson Wells.
The guy was hilarious on the other end of the phone: "Victor, did you see it? Haha, I'm satisfied! He's even more scolding you than scolding you! Hahaha! OK! OK!"
"You have a problem with your head? You're still happy to scold you like this?" Victor said.
"Why not happy? I said that there are not many people in Hollywood who know movies, so why bother with these people?" Wells said.
"Don't you want to say a few words for yourself?"
"I'm so sad. I still have to go to drink. After the movie is finished, it's not my business. They do whatever they want, and say whatever they want. It has nothing to do with me." Wells' temper is really stubborn.
"You should watch your thoughts and your movies!" Victor shouted.
"Forget it. I'm not good at this. I'm just a movie shooter, not a theorist. By the way, Victor, if you have time, please tell me a few words! Open fire at these gangsters!" Wells said loudly.
"Biaozi" raised!" Victor cursed and hung up the phone.
"Barkins!" Victor shouted outside the door.
Baggins came in and looked at Victor with anger and was startled.
"Go and tell Jean and Fred that the filming of "Shawshank Redemption" has been left to them these days! I won't go." Victor said.
"Ah? Why?"
"I want to write an article! Big article! By the way, you notify the editors of "Hollywood Review" and ask them to leave me a page! If a whole version is not enough, then two versions!" Victor said angrily.
Next, for two days and two nights, Victor did not close his eyes. After completing an article worth tens of thousands of words, he handed it over to the editor of "Hollywood Review".
On the second day, this article titled "What's wrong with Hollywood movies? - On the nature and modernity of movies" was released. Once this article was published, it was like a heavy bomb that bombed Hollywood!
This movie with a length of more than 40,000 words, Victor, from what is the nature of the movie, montage and long shots, what is the essence of the movie, the characteristics of Hollywood movies, to the time of burial, six aspects of the modernity of the movie, taking "Citizen Kane" as an example, criticized the so-called classic model developed by Hollywood over the past few decades, and by the way, criticized a series of Hollywood's great people!
