Chapter 498: Hard to Resist
"Good morning everyone, today we are going to talk about how to get the Oscar ......"
2,850 North American theaters can watch "The Amazing Director", including cold Toronto, since the filming of "Iron Man" last month, Rachel has returned to Toronto to enjoy a leisurely vacation, she has no new films released this year, naturally she does not have to participate in any awards season;
"Haha!" There was a chuckle in the screening room, and there was barely a seat in the audience, and many of the audience members entered the theater before they even started eating popcorn, they somewhat did not expect the movie to start like this...... Interesting.
Watching "Wang Yang" on the big screen talking on the classroom podium, Rachel couldn't help but laugh funny, is there really such a thing? Why haven't you heard him say it? She hadn't read Ben Mezrich's short story, it was easy to see it, but she just didn't want to watch it, it would definitely remind her of some fun things that had been dusty for a long time. However, Rachel was very interested in the film, to see how others played him and herself, but Yang specifically asked her to join the boycott as if she was serious and joking......
"Wow, it's better than reality. Natalie applauded silently, with a smile on her face, only to see several classmates on the screen raise a rebuttal, and Magic Yang immediately dismissed a large number of words, she had heard Wang Yang say this before, he was just talking there alone, how could he be so powerful now.
The opening scene of this large number of dialogues shocked all the audience at once, and it was very Wang Yang's bearing to present and receive awards on stage! "Wang Yang's" speech and debate are quoted from classics, broad in thinking, and leaping in rhythm, which seems to be both reasonable and laughable, a genius boy with full knowledge and opinions about movies jumps into front of him, his character is also being revealed, and film critics perceive those lines to be very intriguing.
Interesting! Powerful! Most of the fans smiled with satisfaction, this actor played well, and the magic was really good! Evelyn leaned over to her friend Kelly, who was watching the movie with her, and laughed softly: "If I can keep this fun until the end, I will give it a good review, so I look forward to the love plot." Kelly slipped a mouthful of popcorn and muttered, "I'm looking forward to the most interesting part." "A San Francisco girl was so frightened by "Ghost Record" that her limbs twitched.
However, Wonder Young doesn't continue to pull the wind, and as the opening scene ends, the teenager runs back to his dorm room on the USC campus, and the audience gradually sees an undesirable, difficult person to get along with, because of his cynicism, madness, and cleverness, and in the end, others usually choose to ignore him, and the reason why he is like that, and it seems that because of his bad relationship, the future wonder director is dumped by his blonde girlfriend on the grounds that he doesn't like him and wants to be a film director.
"Hi Jan, I've been thinking about it for a long time......" The blonde white girl said calmly on the DV screen of the big screen, "Let's break up, I don't like your dream of directing, and I don't want to be a director's girlfriend." We've been arguing about this for too long, so be it, don't call me!"
Hey, knowing that things were different, Natalie shook her head and sighed, just missing out on a peerless good man, Shamo, Shamo! I really feel sorry for that woman.
The surrounding audience was full of fascination, Rachel was also engaged, the fact is of course that Wang Yang's DV machine was rented back later, and it was accidentally broken by Joshua, and then he paid to buy a new DV machine for Wang Yang to complete the shooting, and the film is that Wang Yang already has a DV machine, and was also filmed by his ex-girlfriend to break up a video. This is a feature film adaptation, and the characters, details, and stories are too different from the information that can be gathered and the facts that have not been circulated, and in any case, Rachel gets into the state of watching the movie first.
The camera is everything, and Wang Yang plays this video again with an expressionless face.
Soon, through a high-paced scene shot, he was expelled from the school. "The Amazing Director" didn't focus on rendering this paragraph, the audience knew what was going on, obviously it never wanted to discuss too much on the topic of race, that was not the theme and style of this movie, Magical Yang's immaturity, irritability and confusion are the focus, on the big screen, the angry teenager who was romantic and lonely suddenly fell to the bottom of his life......
"The beginning of the film is really cynical. "The more film critic David Edelstein looks at it, the more it feels, and with the marriage of Alan Sorkin, David Fincher seems to have found the key to victory, where to go deep into the focus, where to speed up the pace and arrange the opening in the framework of the subtle arrangement, this kind of narration is really irresistible.
"Fincher's insight is impeccable, and he gives the story a new lease of life. Mick Russell is quite satisfied with the current situation, he is familiar with this story, different from the structure of "Legends of Silicon Valley" where the two protagonists contradict each other, it is obvious that Wang Yang's classmates are difficult to take on important responsibilities, and there are no other male protagonists;
In this way, the excavation of characters has become a more critical thing, and now they are doing a good job, and many details clearly express Wang Yang's mentality, creating a teenager who lives on the screen.
But it is definitely different from the taste of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", the script, camera rhythm, editing, etc. of "The Amazing Director" are full of coherent tension running at high speed, with new events and new changes constantly, and turning points one after another, without warmth, but very cool.
The hardest thing is to have this natural feeling, and Chris Vogner of the Dallas Morning News can't help but admire, only happy and not abrupt, it is really a perfect state. But back in "Fight Club", David Fincher was able to shoot such a single perspective, and now he is even more enjoyable.
Unlike fans, film critics will not consider what the real Wang Yang is, this is not a serious biopic, but I have to say that "Wang Yang" has met the public image standards so far, and his lovelorn madness and infatuation with his ex-girlfriend are shown in "500 Days with Shamo".
"If that guy were standing in front of me, I would have beaten him!" Seeing the magical Yang played by Alan Liang walking lonely and wandering on the street, Claire, Evelyn and other fans were indignant, but immediately, the long-awaited plot of many female Yang fans came! Evelyn sat up straight, the stylish and beautiful Camila Baylor appeared, and Wang Yang and Jessica met in the cinema.
Since both of them laughed on different occasions and said that they reunited in the cinema, the audience knows that this detail respects historical facts, and as for other specific situations, fans and fans are not clear, and only the parties know.
On the big screen, the two have walked out of the theater on the street, "Jessica" has wavy brown hair, straight eyebrows make her smile very heroic, she is holding a delicate handbag, very mature and generous, at this time she is already a well-known child star, looking for the first opportunity to star in a movie as a heroine. On the contrary, "Wang Yang" hid his nervousness and was a little calm, saying that he entered USC after graduating from high school and did not say anything about the expulsion.
Unexpectedly, Jessica enthusiastically proposed to visit USC, which was not far away anyway. Since meeting her, the magical director's IQ seems to have dropped a lot, or he is trapped in helpless hesitation, he took Jessica to the USC campus to play, but it was exposed, causing Jessica to lose his face.
After knowing this, although she seemed to choose to believe Wang Yang, Jessica's attitude towards him was obviously much colder, and she no longer had that hearty smile, she told him that she needed help to call her, and said that she had made an appointment to leave first.
"I guess that's the case. The screening room was dimly lit, and hearing the soft muttering of the audience from nowhere, Natalie pursed her lips, it must not be like this, otherwise he would not love her so much, it must be at that lowest point, Jessica supports him the most, and she will always be invincible! Of course, Natalie has long understood that it is just one of the reasons why Miraculous Young was captured.
"Damn!" in a theater in New York, Jessica finally couldn't help but curse angrily, she glanced at the audience around her, and really wanted to tell them that night, she went back to playing with him when she was a child in her dreams, all night! Jessica took out her silent mobile phone and sent a text message to Wang Yang, who was at home with her children: "I love you." After a while, I received a reply from Wang Yang: "Ho-much?" Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile and pressed the keyboard again.
The story of the big screen continues, dreams and ** drive the teenager forward, Wang Yang, who returned to the apartment, sat quietly on the sofa, he looked at his ex-girlfriend on the screen of the DV machine in his hand, looked at the Jessica number on the screen of the mobile phone, his brows furrowed and loosened, the soundtrack gradually rose high, and he decided......
Under the sound of bright music and smooth and fast camera editing, Wang Yang got up and walked into the kitchen with the DV machine and schoolbag, swept the things on the dining table aside, took out the drawing paper and pen ruler, sat down and wrote and drew on the white paper, accelerated the camera, lines of text, one by one sub-shots jumped on the paper, he looked up at the environment in the house, the whole apartment rotated, time in the past, one day or two days, three days? In short, the painting paper full of painting page after page, covering the entire dining table.
When the soundtrack stopped, Wang Yang's hair was already fluffy, but his eyes were bright and excited, he held up a piece of paper with a long-haired girl's smirk with both hands, and silently looked at the girl whose silhouette was very similar to his ex-girlfriend, and his calm face slowly showed a smile, only to see that the top of the drawing paper was still written: "Supernatural Phenomenon"
"Wow!" Audiences in theaters across North America are a little enthusiastic, and film critics are secretly praising it, great entertainment! The film is moving in a more and more interesting direction.
