I don't know the goods!

"The Jimmy Tonight Show" often ranks first or second in the entire American late-night variety show talk show.

The host Jimmy Fat Lun is definitely a leftist in Hollywood, a white leftist man, but he is a moderate, not the same as another Jimmy, "Jimmy's Chicken Feather Show" is a talk show...

One variety show, the other comedy...

There is no way to compare different categories.

But both of these are high-rated late-night shows...

Shen Ming was a little puzzled by the rejection of "The Wandering Earth" crew for "The Jimmy Tonight Show"...

What a publicity opportunity!

……

When he arrived at NBC TV, Shen Ming got the script.

At the beginning, I definitely talked about "La La Land"...

In short: "La La Land" swept the awards season!

In addition to the film itself, the main thing is that this film is called the revival of song and dance films.

Musicals are a classic genre in Hollywood.

In the era of the Great Depression in the United States in 1930, Americans vigorously developed dreamlike musical and dance films in order to escape from reality, so there were "Singin' in the Rain", "West Side Story", "The Wizard of Oz" and the world-famous "The Sound of Music", which is a glorious memory of musical and dance films.

The closest song and dance film, 2012's "Les Miserables", had great expectations and a mediocre response...

The last song and dance film to win praise was "Chicago" in 2002, which won the Oscar for Best Picture.

In short, 16 years later, "La La Land" has once again pushed the song and dance film to the forefront.

What is it?

This is revival!

Lao Mei also talks about feelings, especially the old guys in the academy whose average age is as high as 70 years old, they think that the golden age of Hollywood is the thirties and forties, silent films, black and white films, song and dance films...

That's why a film like "The Artist" can win the Oscar for Best Picture!

You see, is "La La Land" the right time and place?

The only problem is that the pattern of "La La Land" is a bit small, and it is only about love, on the other hand, "Green Book", that thing is about black people and white people, and the pattern is very large!

The Oscars have always loved to set the vane, and "Green Book" is related to current political and social issues in terms of theme, and the story itself is also very good.

If Shen Ming was an academy, he would also award the best picture to "Green Book"...

Just thinking about it, the staff invited him to the stage.

……

Jimmy's tonight show has a very good color scheme, and the entire wall behind it is ultra-high pixel LED, I don't know if I thought it was a bird's-eye view of the whole of New York behind it...

"Welcome Shen Ming!"

"Thank you. ”

After sitting down, Jimmy Fat Lun kept staring at Shen Ming...

“… Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'm just curious, I heard that "La La Land" was invested by you?"

"Yes, this movie was in "Burst Drummer", Damien told me, I don't want to invest in it, who knew that "Burst Drummer" actually made money, no way, I promised him..."

Jimmy Fat Lun smiled happily: "Tell me about the investment in La La Land." ”

"Ahem, that's right, Damien is a jazz fan, it should be 12 years, he wrote "La La Land", and then went to meet investors, do you think, musical or jazz, the investment in this play is at least 20 million US dollars, who wants to invest in him?"

"I heard that you invited Emma Watson at the beginning?"

“… Her price is too high, we can't afford it!"

"Tsk, I guess Emma Watson regrets it now!"

Shen Ming spread his hands: "... Who knows, I didn't expect La La Land to be so successful, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like. ”

"Then what kind of mentality did you use to make La La Land?"

“… Out of trust in Damien, of course, the most important thing is that the investment is not very high, I have invested 15 million US dollars myself, Focus is responsible for 5 million, and other companies are responsible for 8 million, if it is a super big production, I will definitely not invest easily!"

"So, it's because you're rich!"

Shen Ming touched his nose: "... A little..."

"OK, let's take stock of the four movies "Fault in the Stars", "District 9", "Burst Drummer", and "Dallas Buyers Club", how much did you make?

“… Do you know so well?"

Jimmy Fat Lun was a little proud: "Of course, I checked the information!"

"Almost..."

Ming Tsai was vague...

Jimmy Fat Lun twisted his body and shifted his position: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course, I'm here to tell you what kind of person I am!"

"Are you a racist?"

“… Of course not, how can Asians be eligible for racial discrimination? We only have to be discriminated against!"

"OK, change the question, you are the box office record holder of Chinese movies, "Wolf Warrior 2"... $840 million... Oh my God, 840 million in one place in China?"

"Yes!"

"How did you do that?"

“… It's just a shootout, and then it's a big sell!"

"Okay, to change the question, how do you see a lot of bad movies selling well in China?

Shen Ming smiled: "... Of course not, this is mainly because Chinese audiences are very emotional, for example, "Vegetarian Chicken 8" and "Transformers 5", in fact, according to the previous work, these two movies are failures in the Chinese market, because they did not exceed the previous work!"

"Failure? "Vegetarian Chicken 8" won $370 million in China..."

"That's because "Furious 7" has already won $360 million, so let me tell you, the box office of "Furious Nine" will definitely not be much higher than that of "Furious 8". At the end, he added: "Unless, word of mouth improves!"

Jimmy Fat Lun's eyes lit up: "So, you also think that "Vegetarian Chicken 8" is a bad movie?"

“… I can't talk about bad movies, but I definitely can't talk about excellence, the whole plot is too hypocritical, forcibly Family... I don't like it!"

"OK, I heard you brought a new movie this time?"

"Yes, "The Wandering Earth", a science fiction film!"

"Science fiction films, Chinese science fiction films?"

“… Right. ”

"Can you tell us about it?"

"Of course, well, the whole story can be summed up in one sentence: wandering with the earth!"

Jimmy Fatren was curious: "Wandering with the earth?"

"The premise of the story is that the sun is about to flash helium, and we must escape the solar system with the earth..."

Jimmy Fat Lun directly interrupted him: "Wait a minute, why do the Chinese not flee the earth after the sun crisis, but run with the earth?"

Shen Ming smiled: "... The question you asked was the same question we asked the person in charge of ILM at the beginning. That's what he asked!"

"So, how did you answer?"

“… This should be the difference between Chinese and Westerners, we are a family country, the world, even if there is a disaster, war, many people do not want to leave their hometown, die there, this is our belief!"
