Chapter 92: Boot (3rd Update)
"The Irishman" was screened three days ago.
Director Martin Scorsese, who has been very popular recently, said something in an interview with "Empire": Commenting on Marvel movies is not cinema...
cinema, the conventional definition is what cinema means...
"Marvel movies can't be called movies, they're more like theme park products. I've tried to watch Marvel movies, but I can't stand it, I don't think Marvel movies are movies. Although the Marvel movies are well-made and the actors are very attentive, it still resembles a video to watch at a theme park. Cinema should be a work in which actors strive to convey emotions and spiritual feelings. β
"It's not a movie, it's something else, and whether you like it or not, we shouldn't be invaded by it. This is a very important question, and we need cinemas to show films in the narrative style. β
"Movie theaters have become theme parks, and of course, it's not a big deal, but you can't take it all and leave no space for anyone else. I know, there are people who really like that kind of movie, and by the way, in this regard, that kind of movie is really big enough, and it's creating a new kind of moviegoer that is different from the past, and in their opinion, that thing is the movie. But I just can't accept it. I don't think it's called a movie. β
Martin's statement was widely agreed, and even Downey didn't refute Martin's meaning in the interview, just saying: 'It was shown in the cinema!'
If ordinary people say this, it is estimated that so many people will not recognize it, but Martin Scorsese is no problem when he says so!
Because he won't be jealous...
His director's salary has been fluctuating around $10 million, not too high, not too low...
The older generation of filmmakers is quite obsessed with the "movie" itself.
They hope to use film as an art form to express emotions, express opinions, or show their understanding of life and the world, and in addition, they also hope to use their own thinking to explore the future or end of film. Especially this kind of master creators, their primary purpose in making movies is not to make money, but to express.
Old Martin has never made a sequel in his life!
He relied on "Taxi Driver" to become an instant hit, but he didn't choose "Taxi Driver 2", but changed hands and made "New York, New York", which is a romance film, then the biographical film "Raging Bull", and then "The King of Comedy".
Continuing with the example, the adaptation of "Infernal Affairs" was very successful, even winning the Oscar for Best Picture, and if it was a commercial consideration, he should try to adapt "Infernal Affairs 2" to write the story of Little Plum and Matt Damon when they were young.
He didn't either, but went to tinker with "Atlantic Empire" and "Shutter Island"...
He insists on one thing: in 90-150 minutes, it is important to finish a story, and this "completion" is very important.
In his opinion, movies are an incomparably noble term, and it is normal that an industrial work like a serial-style drama in the Marvel Universe does not deserve to be called cinema art - and Marvel movies are industrial entertainment products!
It's like literature and web writing...

In this year's awards season, Ming Tsai definitely doesn't have a chance...
Because of other element bonuses - he is a Chinese!
After the release of "Joker", Shen Ming didn't follow the crew to promote it at all, except for reading the newspaper - Warner was also worried that he was talking nonsense!
After all, there are some tensions between China and the United States right now...
Two things, "Nezha" was released in the United States, Universal was responsible for the distribution, there were only 220 theaters, and the cumulative box office was $4.7 million...
This box office score is actually not too low, after all, it is a domestic anime.
In comparison, "Your Name" won the 2016 Japanese film box office championship with 25 billion yen, and also won 500 million yuan at the box office in China, released in North America, 500 theaters opened, and only won 5.03 million US dollars at the box office...
Amazon counts 542 animated films that have been released in North America.
Most of the box office of foreign animated films outside of Japan is generally concentrated after the 300 percent.
If calculated according to the box office of 5 million US dollars, "Nezha" can rank 258th, by the way, the box office champion of non-US domestic anime films released in North America is "PokΓ©mon: Mewtwo's Counterattack", which swiped 85.7 million US dollars at the North American box office...
In addition, "My Motherland and Me" also opened in North America, and the theater line basically revolves around the Chinese circle, and the results are okay, two weeks down, 2.2 million US dollars...
The second thing is that Shen Ming officially reached a cooperation with Warner Bros. and will join "Suicide Squad 2" and play the clown again...
But that script is much simpler - the existence of the role of the clown is more like playing soy sauce, no more than 10 minutes...
β¦β¦
Cheng Xiao can be regarded as a successful catastrophe!
There are a lot fewer people scolding her online than before...
The entertainment industry is like this, first-class stars are docked with first-class resources, second-rate stars are docked with second-rate resources, and there are few skipping grades.
If there is, it must be the luck of the nobles who brought it up and cultivated it in the previous life.

After "The Richest Man in Xihong City", she was hacked by a bunch of people...
Public opinion has fought back very strongly!
Nonsense, that movie directly made her break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly - the heroine of a single film reaching 2.8 billion!
In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, except for Lin Yun, who has such luck?
What do you see Lin Yun being scolded?
Fortunately, Cheng Xiao is relatively low-key and has no intention of being a demon, after "The Richest Man in Xihong City", she began to play supporting roles, whether it was "The Call" or "Five Boys Splashing in the Water", she played a small supporting role, and did not drag the movie back...
The movie "Xi Bao" is a first-class IP adaptation - Yishu's works have shown signs of becoming popular in the past two years, probably because "The First Half of My Life" suddenly became popular...
The filming period is about 65 days, just in time for the release of "The Great Escape"...
At the launch press conference, Cheng Xiao was wearing a pink dress, surrounded by a group of reporters, looking at the left and the right, turning around from time to time, and smiling so hard that his face froze.
The media group interview has ended, and now it is free time for interviews.
There are about 20 print media and online media that came to cheer, and Cheng Xiao alone took most of them.
No way, red!
The main thing is that she is a man red!
"Joker" was released for 15 days, and the North American box office exceeded 200 million US dollars, and the global box office exceeded 500 million US dollars, which is expected to break the R-rated movie box office record held by "Wolverine 3"...
"This script is very delicately written, and everyone should know the story of "Xibao", so I won't say more. β
"Of course, this is what Shen Ming recommended, he said that he joined the group and asked me to learn more from Mr. Chen, he is experienced and trustworthy..."
"Director Wang Danyang is also a female writer, she talked to me about the interpretation of "Xibao", I think it is very good..."
Cheng Xiao faced the media, talked eloquently, and his typhoon and skills have improved significantly, and he worked hard to pick himself out and give his partners more of a sense of existence.
"Can you reveal Shen Ming's specific income through "Joker"?"
"Will the box office failure of "Annihilation" affect your development in North America?"
ββ¦ This has nothing to do with "Xi Bao", right?"
