Chapter 499: Probably the best movie of the year

With Wang Yang leaving USC, the atmosphere of the big scene of "The Amazing Director" moved from the campus to the society, and Wang Yang began to make a DV movie titled "Paranormal", and in the casting interview, he almost immediately selected Rachel, a blonde girl who looks very similar to his ex-girlfriend.

"Haha. "Toronto, Rachel smiled, and remembered the scene again, could it be? Could there be a reason for this? I really want to ask Wonder Young. Among the audience were the people who participated in that audition, the fascinate Anne Darren, the freckled girl of yesteryear did not see her on the big screen, but she will never forget that day, the words of the young director, and many things that happened later.

Anne also wondered what would happen if she won and starred in "Ghost Record"? She has confirmed that she will star in "Bridesmaids" produced by Wang Yang, a member of the bridesmaid group, and they will cooperate again.

On the big screen, the filming of "Ghost Shadow" with selected actors began the next day, and it took only a week to finish, and another week to complete the post-production, during which Wang Yang and Rachel established a friendship of mutual appreciation, and Jessica, who had a light attitude, did not participate too much, she was like an outsider who was very interested in watching a good show. After reading this paragraph, watching "Ghost Record" be born step by step, the audience who was frightened by it in the last century was very interesting.

"Gentlemen, this is an opportunity!"

The next large section is both inspirational and genius, Wang Yang with a DVD copy of the film keeps hitting nails in many distributors, and later known as "Wang Yang's photographer picked up at McDonald's" Harry George also appeared, the big fat man didn't believe that Wang Yang would succeed at all, but under Rachel's connection, Wang Yang walked into the door of Lionsgate, this conference room scene, Wang Yang showed his eloquence to the fullest, and the experience of failure made him know how to lobby, all kinds of analysis, agitation, Blueprint defeated Jon Philtimel and the others in one fell swoop, and Lionsgate decided to follow his plan and release "Ghost Record"!

"I don't want a buyout fee, I don't want an upfront payment, I want me to be paid, it's a share of the total revenue. ”

Wang Yang proposed what was later called the most crazy and bold and unbelievable sharing agreement, from less than 1 million to 100 million at the box office before tax, from 10% to 50%! Probably Lionsgate felt that there must not be much box office, and they agreed, and they were complacent about the fact that they only needed to give 10% of the profit to the kid and 5% for the loss, and 100,000 US dollars in publicity expenses, if this is an opportunity, it is almost a chance to play scratch prizes for free. The expressions of Philtimel and the others who felt that they had picked up a bargain also made the audience laugh.

Before the matter was over, Wang Yang used the sense of crisis brought by the artisan company to force Lionsgate to pay more attention to "Ghost Record" and advance its release date, some of these details were later released on the film's DVD, and some were revealed by Philtimmel and others on different occasions.

By the time the film was screened, the cynical genius boy had grown rapidly, he was no longer so arrogant, no longer irascible and out of control, but surpassingly intelligent, confident and mature, as if everything was under his control and planning.

Of course, Lionsgate is not an incompetent company, on the big screen, Jon Philtimmel, and later Mark Slent, the CEO of Fire Films, have played a certain role in Wang Yang's maturity and the release of "Ghost Record", and several characters such as Harry George and Zachary Levy are more like mortals who set off geniuses.

The story has a new perspective, with the development of the "Ghost Record" publicity, netizens saw the news of viral marketing in the Internet world, a pair of young brothers and sisters named Alex and Catherine appeared, they discovered and believed the Internet rumors of evil spirits possessing and killing people, Alex is still a complete hardcore defender, firmly believes that it is true, and spontaneously spread this matter online and offline.

On the other hand, it is the propaganda team led by Wang Yang who is spreading rumors on the Internet day and night to confuse the public, and the audience who was played around at the beginning can't help but have a bit of a complicated feeling in their hearts, the film rhythm is consistently high-speed, and when the evil spirit incident is in full swing in publicity, "Ghost Shadow" ushered in the release!

"Ahhh It's the devil, it's the devil, save my sisterβ€”"

In the midst of the screams of sorrow and nervousness, the camera cleverly pointed at the big screen, and gradually zoomed in, only to see the Lionsgate logo reappear after the end of the film, and the few small lines of words "Producer: Young-ang" and "This film is pure fiction" under the logo are magnified by the camera, which is quite ironic.

"Whew!" countless viewers exhaled, excited, excited, and even palpitating, knowing that many, many of them were those who were stupid on the big screen.

COOL β€”β€”! Evelyn leaned back in the chair with her hands folded on her chest, a copy of my protective look, full of smiles, she really looked like a different feeling, maybe teenagers who have not experienced the "supernatural" think it is exaggerated and false, but that little girl is her! Her performance is worse than peeing pants, but it is worse than peeing pants...... Kelly said to her, "You're a genius. Evelyn nodded, "I know." ”

Newspapers printed with relevant news were sold out one by one, tickets were sold out one by one, there were new changes every day, young people crowded the 25 movie theaters, Lionsgate decided to increase the scale of screenings next week, "Ghost Shadow" was like a fire, and the box office received 1.05 million in the first week!

Immediately, the whole United States was shocked! "Ghost Shadow" collected 37.51 million yuan in 750 North American theaters in the second week, beating "Saving Private Ryan" in the third week at that time, and an old Jewish man with round-framed glasses who looked like Spielberg frowned when he read the newspaper; after the third week, the total box office of this 10,000 production cost DV movie was close to 90 million! Philtimmel and others were like in a dream!

"Haha!" Natalie laughed, Rachel and Annie...... There are also many people who are sighing that their amazing director is crazy!

But things changed quickly, and the media confirmed that "Ghost Shadow" was a movie that was made, and the initiator Wang Yang became an overnight supernova, but then his details were found out, and he was caught in the whirlpool of racial discrimination cases for a while, but in less than a week, the wind turned around and proved his innocence, and Magic Young became a charismatic and controversial shining star in the United States without resistance.

"Beautiful!" Kenneth Turan, a film critic for the Los Angeles Times, praised in his heart, the whole ** part of the film is exciting, cleverly paced, and brilliantly edited, showing the historical and social event of "supernatural phenomena" perfectly and completely on the big screen, taking care of all directions, but without dragging the mud.

In the several layers of changes in the incident, Wang Yang encountered many changes in the attitudes of others and the world, but he was always calm and calm, and the way he handled it was completely different from a few months ago. At the end of the movie, Wang Yang's genius performance continued, he changed, probably no longer cynical, learned more about the world, and was the kind of super popular public lover in the media and TV talk shows.

In the face of great success, he has some self-aggrandizement, more self-suppression, but some ** can't be suppressed, he has already won Jessica's favor, and finally after a one-night date, the two have an intimate relationship...... Since "The Fantastic Director" is PG-13, the audience did not see any footage that was inappropriate for children, only Camila Baylor's very seductive look and dance, and then the two had a youthful and passionate kiss.

The film is coming to an end, and the Denver Post's Lisa Kennedy is very satisfied, David Fincher is still the usual cold treatment of female characters, even if the dating scene has a sense of estrangement, but it has created a good, complex youth restlessness and love between men and women.

In the film, Jessica's attitude towards Wang Yang is naturally different, at first she didn't care about him, watched the show and even was cold, but when "Ghost Shadow" gradually succeeded, she gradually looked at him, Rachel's existence made her feel jealous, she began to throw the fishing line to him, and then tempted him, when he became a national idol, she also pulled back the fishing line, this love contains a lot of complex elements.

It's a seductive and clever character, and Rachel, an ordinary college student, seems to be a tragic character from beginning to end, because she looks similar to his ex-girlfriend, so she wins the audition and becomes a prop for Wang Yang to take revenge...... Ex-girlfriend Helen is extremely unique, she doesn't like Wang Yang as a director and proposes to break up, but Wang Yang filmed "Ghost Shadow" with that DV camera, and made the world think she is a murderous demon, and when he becomes an American icon, supernova director, and the youngest multimillionaire...... She still has no interest in him, she doesn't call him, she doesn't answer his calls, and it certainly won't be an attitude of pursuing reconciliation.

"Ghost Shadow" looks like a prank, Wang Yang successfully takes revenge on his ex-girlfriend, USC and the whole world, fame, fortune and beauty, showing that the road ahead of this genius boy and this magical director is most like a broad road.

"Ahh......h

The camera showed the whole picture of the screen, and the camera suddenly turned to the front angle of the seat, only to see a scattered audience sitting in the audience, and Wang Yang sitting in the middle. The terrifying sound had faded away, accompanied by the light music, and every audience member in slow motion had their faces distorted with fright, some people had popcorn buckets flying in their hands, some people flipped backwards, and some people opened their mouths wide...... Only the young man in the middle sat as usual, the corners of his mouth curled up and grinned slightly, evoking a playful smile.

The big screen went black, and then the names of the main creators were revealed, "Director: David Fincher, Screenwriters: Alan Sorkin, Ben Mezrich, Producer: Scott Rudin......"

"Wow, that's great!" More than one audience member in the theater exclaimed, and the fans who had complained a lot about it had to admit that it was a good movie, and Evelyn was in a quandangle, whether to give it a high or low score?

Almost in the blink of an eye, 2 hours have passed, and I don't feel a little dull! But a full-text movie, a large number of scenes full of dull potential in the theater, conference room, computer screen, etc., but just like this, I came unconsciously, on the contrary, it was exciting to linger, and I wanted to watch it!

However, the cast list has been rolled up on the screen, "The Amazing Director" is over, what will happen to Wang Yang next? Maybe no audience doesn't know, now eight years have passed, Wang Yang is getting more and more powerful, married and has a daughter with Jessica, happy, and his 12th directed film "The Dead" is about to be released worldwide.

"I think it's done very, very well, very, very interesting. I've seen a lot of biopics and this one is definitely the really good part. "There's no doubt that it deserves to be nominated for an Oscar! probably Best Picture of 2006." It's just that Wang Yang doesn't seem to be very happy in the end, by the way, that guy acted well!", "I mean, Finch did a great job, this is the kind of movie that is easy to get high hype, and then it's easy to completely ignore the quality and artistry of the movie, but "The Amazing Director" doesn't. ”…… At night, the audience left the cinema with a happy mood and discussions, and there were so many interesting interpretations and savorable details in the film that made Wonder Young's anatomy believable and powerful, as if he were that person, only later more mature and friendly.

"Woo, woo-" Jessica hissed unwillingly as she walked to the parking lot, she really wouldn't be like that, even if he was a real estate salesman, as long as he worked hard, ......it didn't matter! Smash bad reviews!

"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Natalie let out inexplicable laughter from time to time, pulled down her cap and put on sunglasses to hide people's eyes, or her best way to appear (the poster of "This Killer is Not Too Cold" on the wall of Wang Yang's dormitory), she wanted to hit that Internet term, LOL!

In Toronto, Rachel smiled and took out her phone, bit her lower lip, and sent a text message to Wang Yang, asking about her interpretation in "The Amazing Director", saying, "I'm not kidding. Soon, the phone clicked crisply, and Wang Yang replied with a long text message: "I remember you haven't played "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade Student?", right? ”

As the moon sets and the sun rises, audiences and critics from all walks of life give their own comments after watching the movie, and on Thursday morning, Paramount surprises the intersection!

YEAH β€”β€”! the most highly rated movie this winter, and even in 2006 so far!

"The Amazing Director" has received 98% of the freshness of popular film reviews and 100% of the freshness of well-known films on Rotten Tomatoes, which means that coupled with the response of the previous test screening, the mainstream media applauded, and there was no criticism for the time being! What is even more gratifying is that the audience likes it as high as 87%, with an average rating of 4.1/5 points, and 8.5 points on IMDb, this number has explained everything, which IMDb fan team has the strongest fighting power? The most feared fans are generally satisfied.

"David Fincher's films have rare and beautiful qualities, and shining heroes. Roger Albert gave the film two thumbs up, 4/4 points and a bunch of compliments: "It's confident, impatient, cool, exciting and instinctive understanding." ”

The high-speed narrative and editing pacing, which he described as "impatient," was praised by critics, but it also included its overall unique style, with Charlie McCollum of The San Jose Mercury giving it a 4/4: "From the first scene, you know that 'The Amazing Director' is something special." The Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips said at 3.5/4: "From the first scene to the last, the whole film is cynical, a story of a child prodigy." The incredible marriage of director and screenwriter has produced one of the most exciting films of the year. ”

"It was the highlight of the 2006 Oscar season and lived up to the hype and expectations associated with it. β€”3.5/4, James Pladinari, Reel Vies; β€”4.5/5, Chris Vogner, Dallas Morning News; The story about Wang Yang and "Ghost Shadow" quickly puts you in a state of excitement for almost two hours. β€”4/4, Mick Russell, San Francisco Chronicle; Thanks to David Fincher's straightforward, on-the-go directing, Alan Sorkin's Oscar-caliber script and half-dozen clever performances, this is one of the best films of the year. β€”5/5, Richard Rope, Ebert & Roeper; This could be the best film of the year. β€”4/4, Peter Howell, Toronto Star...... One-of, may-be is not just for politeness, for the sake of leeway, no one dares to say which is the best film of 2006 until they have seen "The Dead".
