Chapter 578: It's all overdone, it's all crazy
Nicole Kidman got up from the red sofa a little embarrassed, her cheeks sweating, blushing, looking at Donn's eyes, embarrassed and angry, "Where did you learn it?"
Don stretched and got up to take a shower, pretending not to know, "What?"
"Don't pretend!"
"What?"
"Just now...... You asked me to call you Daddy, what's the matter?"
Don Ron's cool expression disappeared, and he immediately showed a flattering smile, "Nicole, let's play a little fun, don't be angry!"
"Angry?" Nicole Kidman shook her head softly, "If I were angry, I wouldn't have agreed." But it's okay if the two of us are alone, next time if there is someone else together, I don't want to call it, I'm ten years older than you, and I still call you Dad, and you don't feel blushing. ”
Don scratched his head and said honestly, "It's a little ...... at first It's weird, but then it's getting more and more exciting. ”
Nicole Kidman gave him a blank look, "Who taught you?"
"Huh?"
"How long have we known each other, and I don't know you yet?" Nicole Kidman graciously took Donn's arm and went into the bathroom to take a shower, saying as she walked, "You can't play such a trick, you must have learned it from someone else." ”
Nicole is Donn's best female friend, and the two barely talk about anything.
Don didn't hide it, so when he was taking a shower, he quickly told her about the trip to Asia, and briefly described that he had taken in a day/book daughter.
"How old are you to take on an eighteen-year-old daughter?"
Nicole Kidman glanced at him with a smirk.
Tang En laughed awkwardly, "Try it, maybe this kind of cultivation game is very interesting." It's a high-class psychological pleasure, they say. ”
Nicole Kidman chuckled and said jokingly, "Cultivate a game? Mental enjoyment? I think you want to grasp both mental enjoyment and physical enjoyment!"
Don was noncommittal and did not respond.
Out of the bathroom, Nicole Kidman gently took the bath towel and carefully helped Don wipe the water droplets on his body. After wiping from head to toe, I began to tidy up my body.
"No wonder I've heard that you've kicked Rose Byrne and Abby Cornish out of Mid-Levels Manor, you have a new way to play. ”
Nicole Kidman tilted her head, wiped her waterfall blonde hair seriously, looked at Don who was sitting on the sofa and wearing socks opposite, and said casually.
Donn's half-truthful nonsense: "The new house in Malibu has been built, so it's not a matter of preparing to move." ”
Nicole Kidman naturally didn't believe it, and his subordinates paused for a moment and stared at him, "Donn, do you want to ...... Shall I introduce you to an Australian daughter?"
"Huh?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look up.
Nicole Kidman said: "If you like it, I'll introduce you to it, I don't know my connections in Australia." ”
"Is it convenient?"
"It's my business if it's inconvenient, you just need to answer, do you want it or not. ”
"This ......," Donn muttered slightly, "I don't want other men to touch it." ”
Nicole Kidman gave him a blank look, "Quirk!"
Ten minutes later, both of them got dressed and returned to the café area of the main office.
However, Ella Fisher brought two cups of coffee, laughing and quipping, "Nicole, you'd better stay a little longer, the flush on your face hasn't subsided." ”
Nicole Kidman smiled and patted her, "Little Nizi, dare you make fun of me?"
The two are fellow countrymen and have a good relationship.
Tang En took a sip of coffee, and then got down to business, "I asked you to come over to tell you that I want to come up with an album, and you can sing a song with me." ”
"Singing?"
"Don't you love music very much?"
Nicole Kidman pulled her hair lightly and said strangely, "Isn't it just to sing a song, and you have to call me over?
Don touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I miss you?" ”
"Miss me?" Nicole Kidman gave him a blank look, "I don't think I'm missing me, I'm thinking about my body, right?"
"It's different. ”
Don waved his hand, very disapproving.
Nicole Kidman didn't continue to embarrass him and changed the subject, "By the way, I heard that you are going to act in a movie as an actor, is it really fake?"
"Huh, who did you listen to?"
Tang En was a little surprised, could it be that the circle had already spread?
Nicole Kidman shook her head and said, "I was on the phone with Natalie the other day, she told me. ”
"Oh. ”
Don suddenly.
He wants to participate in Martin Scorsese's "The Departed", which is a secret within the company, and if it is known to the outside world, it must be a ghost at the top.
"Do I have a chance?" said Nicole Kidman, looking at Don expectantly.
Tang En smiled, "No, this is a play with two male leads." Besides, I'm partnered with Leonardo, and your height doesn't fit either. You...... It's still a film that is more suitable for personal one-man shows. ”
"Well, oh yes, three days ago, I received an association award for Best Actress, you know?"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, this year's Oscars belong to you!"
"Lend you good words. ”
Nicole Kidman glanced at him charmingly, graceful.
……
Martin Scorsese has already started preparing the project "Infernal Messenger".
Although Hollywood is in charge of producers, in front of Martin Scorsese, everything is an illusion.
Martin has a unique say in the project "Infernal".
Of course, if it was Donn's suggestion, he would definitely have some concerns.
Fortunately, on this afternoon, when the two sides were communicating about the project, Don En reassured him straight to the point: "Martin, in this movie, I am just an actor, I will act how you say!"
Martin Scorsese was delighted.
According to his estimate, because it is an adaptation of the movie, the design of the script is relatively simple, as long as there are some American changes.
The preparation of the project is no problem, the two leading actors Donn Walker and Leonardo DiCaprio have been determined, and the remaining actors can be quickly enrolled.
Director Martin Scorsese has a lot of face in Hollywood, even if he is the top superstar, he can use his face to invite him with a low salary.
Just like Cameron Diaz of "New York Vice", Hollywood's top actress plays almost zero pay.
The biggest reason is that Martin Scorsese's film is a humanistic film with artistic temperament, and it is the favorite of the awards season!
Because it is an art film, "The Departed" must not blindly cater to the audience's tastes like an entertainment film like "Infernal Affairs" in terms of shooting techniques, photography skills, plot development, and light and shadow presentation.
"During this time, I watched "Infernal Affairs" a total of 11 times, and the overall feeling is that the exaggerated visual effects of this film are too much, too indiscriminate, and there are a lot of slow shots and exaggerated camera angles. In order to grasp the audience's attention, the film is too busy concocted, and there is not enough room for thinking about the richer texture of popular films, which is a big pity. ”
Martin Scorsese reveals the key at a glance.
Don said with a smile: "This is the consistent feature of Hong Kong films, just like David Bordwell's evaluation of Hong Kong films - 'everything is overdone, all is crazy'." ”
Martin Scorsese shook his head and said, "But the consequences are unimaginable. The director of the Hong Kong government can master certain shooting techniques perfectly, and the representative figure is John Wu. They know how to create tension with intense action scenes, but they are often reluctant to explore other directions. ”
"I don't know about other directors in Hong Kong, but the characteristics of John Wu are too obvious, and his style is essentially no different from the routine techniques of "Infernal Affairs". In the plot of the movie, the audience is indulged so that the audience is not tired of the dense and exciting scenes. As everyone knows, this is not only a characterization of the director's style, but also likely to make this kind of film come to a dead end. ”
"My career was at a low ebb in the '80s, but John Wu's career was the real Waterloo. His kind of unified tense rhythm and exciting scenes, behind the extreme indulgence of the audience, is the growth of the audience's desire/desire again and again, if he can't provide more prominent hormonal stimulation in the next films, what greets him is the black abyss. ”
"I heard that in recent years, the momentum of Hong Kong films has not been very good? I don't know the specific situation, but I want to see the whole picture from a corner. The silence of Hong Kong films is of the same nature as the low ebb of John Wu's career. It's what you just said, 'It's all over-the-top, it's all crazy.'" ’”
Listening to Jun's words, Tang En couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Everyone has their own opinions, and Martin Scorsese's words point in another direction.
Don thought that by instructing John Wu not to take on "The Wind Whisperer", he could continue his life in Hollywood.
After such an analysis, this is not the case at all.
John Wu's biggest shackle is the constraint of the Hong Kong film style of "everything is over-the-top, all crazy".
Maybe this is the reason why he wants to take over a war film like "The Wind Whisperer" and try to transform.
It's a pity that the transformation failed.
That kind of tense and exciting action scenes, from a technical point of view, are not too difficult.
Many shots, however, are repeated and alternated in the "ABAB" position.
With these simple shooting techniques, the audience can skip the parts they have already seen and focus on the subtle changes in the actors' expressions.
Moreover, when the camera position is shifted to point C, the emphasis on the repetition of "ABABAB" leads to the next set of strong effects that take over the lens in different ways, such as the "ABCDE" photographic technique.
This method has long been played by James Cameron's "Terminator" series, Robert Zemeckis's "Back to the Future" series, Jane de Bonthe's "Life and Death" series, and Michael Mann's "The Wire".
But what's next?
James Cameron has transformed, Robert Zemeckis has transformed, and the remaining two directors who are still playing the "action, tension, and excitement" routine have been reduced to the second rate.
This is the reason why many master directors are reluctant to make very enjoyable action movies, not only for the pursuit of art, but also for the extension of the vitality of their personal careers.
The audience is the bread and butter of food.
Only by controlling the tastes of the audience can the master's film be evergreen.
is not like Hong Kong films and John Wu, who were kidnapped by the audience.
Once the transformation fails or creativity declines, it will inevitably sink quickly.
