Chapter 415: Beautiful Mind

On September 28th, a wave of new films was finally released.

However, due to the impact of the terrorist attack, all the films gave up the high-profile and luxurious premieres, and also gave up the early screening, and went online silently.

Among them, including "A Beautiful Mind" filmed by Don himself.

Maybe it was because he made a crazy profit in the stock market some time ago, Don's mentality was a little floating, and there was always a thought in his heart: Will it be too embarrassing for a super-rich man worth tens of billions of dollars to make movies on the front line?

So much so that for the release of "A Beautiful Mind", Don was a little absent-minded.

But Universal Pictures is different, and it is their job to promote and distribute "A Beautiful Mind".

Although there was no premiere, Universal Pictures still chartered a movie at an AMC cinema in Hollywood, inviting the film's leading actors and some guests to start a small-scale viewing event.

is mainly about some personal contacts in Hollywood, as well as inviting some film critics to watch the movie and comment, this is an award-winning film after all.

As a film director, Don didn't have any reason to refuse.

However, unlike the previous high-profile appearances, this time Tang En walked through the side door of the theater and appeared quietly without causing the slightest sensation.

Now Don has completely passed the stage where he needs exposure to attract attention and attract attention.

Too much exposure and high-profile appearances will give the public an impression of flamboyance and impetuousness.

Backstage, Don first greeted the male lead actor Russell Crowe, and then patted Nicole Kidman on the shoulder with a smile, "I heard that your performance in "All the Moments" is very good, and even Meryl Streep praised your performance. ”

Nicole Kidman raised the corners of her mouth, her pupils glowing faintly, "Thank you." ”

Don leaned over and lowered his voice, "Act well, I've already said hello to Catherine, and the production and post-editing of the film will revolve around you." When the time comes, with Meryl Streep and Julian Moore as green leaves for you, it will be difficult not to win the prize!"

The core of the film is editing, which is the key to showing the acting skills of the actors.

For example, there were many award-winning movies later, "The King's Speech", "The Darkest Hour", "The Theory of Everything", "The Iron Lady", etc., all of which were edited at the expense of the macro art of the plot and wide-angle shots, and the close-up of the close-up of the actors' looks was highlighted in a large way to show the actors' strong acting skills.

A more famous example is Heath Ledger.

A "Batman: The Dark Knight" made Heath Ledger fans all over the world, and the clown he played became an incomparable classic villain in the hearts of fans all over the world.

However, behind all this, thanks to the director of the film - Christopher Nolan.

This is a movie about Batman, and in the original film, the editing is, of course, focused on Batman, played by Christian Bale.

But then an accident happened, Heath Ledger died, Nolan started the line of fire, and re-edited "Batman: The Dark Knight", this time, he made "Joker" the protagonist of the movie!

Not only that, many shots in the movie are very inconsistent with the mainstream performance of commercial films, with a lot of frontal close-ups of the terrible villain "Joker", but "Batman" is shown with long shots, giving many fans who don't know the truth the illusion that Christian Bale's acting skills were killed by Heath Ledger.

Is that really the case?

Heath Ledger's acting skills are unparalleled, but Christian Bale is no worse either!

There is only one reason for this result - editing!

Meryl Streep will become an Oscar "cancer", and what she plays is like, also because the movies she participated in must use her acting skills as the core to edit the plot.

Nicole Kidman glanced at him, full of urgency, and seemed to smile, "That's it...... Wouldn't it be too bad?"

Tang Enbai glanced at her and shrugged his shoulders, "Okay, I'll let them do the post-production fairly and justly." ”

Of course, Nicole Kidman didn't believe it, and smiled coquettishly, "By the way, I'm interested in your movie." ”

"What?"

"Your book is based on, "Gone Girl". Nicole Kidman slowly blurted out in a slightly aggressive tone, "Can I be the heroine?"

Don smiled dumbly, "Nicole, you're too greedy, aren't you?"

Nicole Kidman's delicate brows frowned slightly, "Do you have a favorite candidate?"

"No, my mind hasn't been on the movies at all lately. ”

"Well, don't forget!"

"Let's talk about it!"

Don saw Ron Meyer in the distance, said a perfunctory remark, and then walked up with a smile, "I haven't thanked you for the last time." ”

Last time, Donn asked Ron Meyer to help replace "Red Dragon" director Brett Ratner.

Although the film was still three weeks away, and it was already the last minute before the start of filming, Ron Meyer accepted Donn's request to fire Bright Ratner.

And according to Donn's suggestion, he was replaced by Jonathan Demmy, the director of "The Silence of the Lambs".

Jonathan Demmy has not had a good time lately, he was a third-rate director in Hollywood, he became an instant hit with "The Silence of the Lambs", and then his career quickly fell back.

Last year, as a judge at the Cannes Film Festival, he helped Donne, and this time, Don En reciprocated.

Ron Meyer waved his hand, "My business is easy, but yours is ...... Don, you made a big move this time!"

If Brett Ratner dares to say such humiliating words, Don will not be spared!

Winning the title of director of his "Red Dragon" is only the first step, and Don has teamed up with Michael Ovitz of Legendary Pictures to spread the news to many Hollywood giants that all film projects that participate in platter investment will not accept Brett Ratner as a director!

Blocking a second- and third-tier director, the current Don En, has this strength!

It's too difficult to get rid of Tom Cruise's position as the leading actor in "Minority Report", Donn used the "contract stealing" skill of the sunglasses system, but what is Bright Ratner?

Even at the peak of his career, it wasn't at the level of Tom Cruise.

Tang En had a cold face, and said in a solemn voice: "Some people, who have made a little achievement, have lost their awe without knowing the height of the sky. If you don't teach him a deep lesson, he thinks Hollywood is a trick!"

Ron Meyer almost didn't laugh when he heard this.

Don's words are exactly the same as the comments made by the industry bigwigs about him in the past few years!

Disney banned Down Pictures, and Donn banned Brett Ratner, what's the difference?

It's really the location that determines the thinking.

Now that Don has become a big man, the attitude of suppression against Bright Ratner, a 32-year-old "young" director, is really similar to last year's Disney.

Of course, there are differences.

Under the strong blockade of Disney, Don can fight a bloody path with a knife and a gun, and fight bloody to win a piece of sky.

But can Brett Ratner?

Just relying on a "Rush Hour" series?

After thinking for a moment, Ron Meyer lowered his voice and said slowly: "Warner or Fox, they will definitely sell face, including Paramount and MGM." The biggest problem is New Line Pictures, although this company is affiliated with Warner Bros., but it operates independently, and "Rush Hour" is a money-attracting weapon, at this time...... I'm afraid they won't stop. ”

"New line?" Don raised his eyelids, his face expressionless, "I'll call Bob Shea back and see what his attitude is." If he can't make up his mind, hmph, then I'll help him make up his mind!"

……

"A Beautiful Mind" is Donn's fifth film directed by himself, and the first four films, he frantically earned $4.74 billion around the world.

The 5th film, which has undergone major changes, is a literary film.

At least on the surface.

In a soothing rhythm, the curtain of the movie finally opens.

Nicole Kidman's performance is outstanding, the first meeting in class, and the self-care and admiration of young women are vividly expressed.

When the hero and heroine went on their first date, she folded her handkerchief and stuffed it in the pocket of his suit's chest, with a little scheming and full of caring intimacy. And the action of sticking together and comparing the stars together shows a bit of premeditated romance of science men.

Everything fell into place.

After getting married, the schizophrenia of "Nash" became serious under pressure and began to affect normal life. "Alicia" pulls the child alone, and has to endure the unstable condition of "Nash", which is not comfortable.

She is no longer the girl who had fantasies before marriage, but she is still dignified and elegant, and she is still bright and beautiful under her smile, adding a kind of accumulation of years.

In this soothing and melancholy atmosphere, the film gradually moves towards a climax.

"Nash" gets sicker and sicker, and he fantasizes about three non-existent characters - a roommate, an agent, and a little girl.

The three of them have been entangled around "Nash", driving him crazy, making him desperate, and making him completely fall into the spiritual world of one person.

Fortunately, there is also the heroine "Alicia".

Alicia has been silently accompanying him, helping him through one difficulty after another, allowing him to gradually accept himself, recognize reality, and accept the ordinary.

There are often a lot of unsatisfactory things in life, such as family, appearance, background, destiny...... All kinds of objective factors can easily cause a person to cause all kinds of psychological obstacles.

There is only one easiest way to do this – accept reality and embrace the world.

Nash did it.

He stepped out of his own world, and he received the Nobel Prize.

Back in college, he still has roommates, agents, and little girls by his side.

But so what?

Nash has let go of his psychological baggage, as if love and marriage, there was the heat of a burning flame, but as time passed, everything seemed like water.

Nash is no longer manic, no longer crazy, not in a hurry to make these avatars disappear, they are there.

He just admired it silently, even with a bit of a playful smile, and appreciated it silently, just like a good memory of the strongest love when he was in love-

Nash: "You don't exist, you're a figment of mine." ”

Little girl: "Why?"

Nash: "Because you've been with me for 10 years, and you haven't changed at all. ”

As soon as the words fell, in the screening hall, all the guests burst into tears.

What hasn't changed, isn't it just the appearance of that little girl?

Just as Nash himself said in his acceptance speech when he received the Nobel Prize.

"My quest led me to go round and round in the world of metaphysics, metaphysics, and illusionsβ€”and then back. In my career, I have made the most important breakthrough, I have found the most important person in my life, and I have made the most important discovery: it is only in the mysterious equation of love that any formal logical cause can be found. I'm here tonight all because of you, you're the reason for my existence, Alicia, you're all I have......" ()
