Chapter 487 "Independence Day" is down
No piece of news in the world can stay hot forever, and the audience will always be less fresh than expected, and with Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz sent to prison, everyone lost interest in this matter, and the news about the two gradually became less.
However, there is no shortage of news in the world, and natural disasters, man-made disasters, gossip, and scandals are staged all over the world every day, providing a steady stream of material for the media and a steady stream of after-dinner conversations for everyone.
"Independence Day" ended up grossing over $1 billion. —Los Angeles Times.
As soon as the Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz incident was over, Independence Day took the place of the two of them and made the headlines in major media outlets.
"Independence Day" finally went off the stall after the last trace of global potential was exhausted, and the box office was finally fixed at $1.02 billion, becoming the third film in history to break a billion dollars at the box office, "Forrest Gump", "Jurassic Park", and "Independence Day".
What's even more talked about is that two of the three movies that broke a billion dollars belonged to John.
In this way, John proved that he could not only make art films, but also achieve success in commercial films.
In the whole of North America, there was only one director who could make both art films and commercial films, and all of them could achieve success, and that was Spielberg, but now there is one more, so whether it is the media or fans, after the box office of "Independence Day" was frozen, everyone was comparing John and Spielberg.
Of course, there were those who supported John, and there were those who supported Spielberg.
Some people say that John got the Golden Man first than Spielberg, and the total box office is also higher than Spielberg, so John is better than Spielberg.
But some people say that Spielberg is a film all-rounder, and all the films he shoots are classics, and he also opened the summer vacation, and has made great contributions to film technology and art, while John has only made three movies since his debut, and has not had a profound impact on film art and technology, so Spielberg is stronger than John.
The two sides insisted on their own words, and no one let anyone, and in the end of the argument, there was a fight, and the language could not distinguish the winner from the loser, and it was decided to divide the hand.
John and Spielberg both had to come out in the end to quell the incident.
"Mr. Spielberg is my favorite director, his works contain the philosophy of life and emotional reflection and care, in his works we can not only feel the romantic and emotional side, but also see the careful and rational side, he is the best dream weaver in this era, I hope that one day we can have the opportunity to work together to dedicate an excellent work to everyone. John said in an interview with reporters.
Fans are fighting, it is impossible for John to add fuel to the fire, what he has to do at this time is to calm down the incident.
"Director Chris Deng is the best young generation of directors I have ever met, whether it is in him or in his works, I can see infinite possibilities, many fans compare us together, in fact, there is no need at all, because I have the same wish as these fans, I hope he can be better than me, better than our generation of filmmakers, any art only stronger than generation after generation, will get better and better, go further and further, this is the dream of all our filmmakers. Spielberg said in an interview with reporters.
The voices of the two bigwigs calmed down this fight.
John personally called Spielberg afterwards, and the two had a good chat, and the fan fight did not affect the two of them.

After the end of the fight, John threw himself into filming, and as the days passed, the scene of "Saving Private Ryan" finally came to an end, and the filming of "Saving Private Ryan" ended after the last shot was filmed at the American cemetery in Normandy, France.
After the filming of the scene ended, John returned to Los Angeles with the crew, and all the pre-production staff were on vacation, and the film entered post-production.
"Lee, the editing of the film is up to you, you cut out the Super Bowl trailer first. ”
John wasn't going to be involved in the editing, he gave the editing to Lee Smith, and the producers from the new line.
"Knight: You learn a lot from people in various departments when making a trailer and making a post-production film. John wasn't very reassuring about Knight, who had just entered the film industry, and a lot of things were in the groping stage, and it was not enough to be on his own.
"Good director!" Nai nodded, he was filming with John during this time, he admired John very much, not everyone can command thousands of people in an orderly manner, and not everyone can make a big investment war film well, he still has a lot to learn.
After the post-production was arranged, John gave himself a vacation, the director's focus is often on the pre-shooting, and the post-production is generally not involved, Hollywood is more qualified to have the post-production indirect rights than the panda, John has, but he doesn't want to use it, Lee Smith's editing technology is already very qualified, and he can rest assured that he will cut it, besides, there are producers staring, so the post-production of the film does not need John to worry about.
Hollywood is centered on the producer, from the establishment of the film project to the end of the production, the producer will contact professionals in each link to work together to produce the film, and the director's work is only one of the links, no different from photography and editing, Hollywood's film production line is like this, professional things are left to professionals, everyone does their own work.
…………
After the holiday, John returned to Morgan Manor in New York, ready to stay home with Mrs. Morgan and enjoy the vacation.
But before he could experience the corrupt life, an incident shocked the whole United States, when two black men robbed a white man after taking drugs and were beaten to death by police in the street while fleeing.
It stands to reason that it is normal for the police to shoot criminals, but the point is that the two robbers did not have bullets in their guns, and when confronting the police, they did not shoot bullets at all, and they were empty guns.
The good deeds made a big fuss about this, believing that the police were acting unfairly, and shot and killed two black men knowing that there were no bullets in the guns.
More than 10,000 black people in New York immediately surrounded the city government and police stations to protest against the police killing black people, and the next day a large number of black people also demonstrated in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, and Chicago, asking the government to severely punish the police.
In the end, the protests escalated, and there were smashing, looting, and burning incidents in New York and Los Angeles, and criminals also took advantage of the fire to loot, and the two cities fell into chaos for a while.
