Chapter 444 Old and Nowhere to Turn

David looked at Mark in great surprise, and Mark said expressionlessly, "Yes, I did, I admit it." ”

David looked at the cute and cute little Martin in his arms, and said in shock: "What are you dissatisfied with your current life?"

Mark said: "Life has not failed me, it is I who has failed life. ”

David was silent for a while before he said, "You must keep this secret, otherwise everything in front of you will be over." ”

Mark said, "I know. ”

David kissed little Martin and said, "Poor boy." ”

The next day, the Ellison siblings came to visit Mark in the office, this was the first time they opposed Mark, and they went back to remember that without Mark, they would not be where they are today, and they were a little embarrassed, and they came here in the hope of mending the relationship.

Mark said: "I have completely put this matter aside, you have your position, I have mine. "Mark wants to say more, Lao Tzu won't take you to get rich.

Meghan said: "We are really not optimistic about this plan, we are a media company, not a venture capital company, based on Hollywood is what we should do, if we lack money, we can sell a part of the equity, our equity is a bit disproportionately high now." ”

"It's a matter of philosophy, but I'm glad you've made it clear, MM is something we all own, it has different voices, it's normal," Mark said. ”

David said, "What do you think of Transformers?"

Mark said: "We must strive to be released simultaneously in China, there are many King Kong fans in this country." ”

"Transformers" is set for an independent daily file, and it is one of the two main blockbusters of MM this year, with an investment and publicity of more than 150 million.

There is the twentieth century Fox action blockbuster "Die Hard 4", and then there is Warner's undefeated cash cow "Harry Potter 5 Order of the Phoenix", the competition is very fierce, and they are all sequel movies with a large number of fans.

David is full of confidence, but after the losses of "King Arthur", "Top Secret Flight" and "Extreme Agent", he also understands that there are many reasons why movies are big hits or not, and it ultimately depends on the performance of the market.

For a movie with such a huge investment, they can only maximize their interests if it is released in the summer, and their other blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" is released in May.

And this year's May is recognized as the month of death, three powerful super blockbusters were released, "Spider-Man 3" on May 4, "Shrek 3" on May 18, and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" on the 28th, all of which are sequel movies, all of which are super blockbuster movies.

For Mark's decision, David is unconditionally supportive, Mark is not very good in terms of investment, failed to vote for Pingguo and Naifei, but his achievements in movies, that is unparalleled, if Mark jumps ship, fully qualified to be the head of the six giants, they will compete to invite him.

Mark used a week to deal with all the affairs after the Oscars, which can be regarded as an end to last year's affairs, and he officially entered the crew of "No Country for Old Men" and started filming.

They were filmed near the Texas-Mexico border, which was both a Texas tax concession and a strong recommendation from Tommy Lee Jones.

Tommy Lee Jones's acting skills are proficient, but he has no training in acting courses at all, and some are only full of enthusiasm and experience in acting, and his acting skills are also recognized because of the 1991 Oliver Stone directed "JFK Assassination" in which he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. The meticulous character can also interpret the gentle character as warm and heart-wrenching, he is a slightly paranoid neurotic character, and he is a cold-faced joker in Hollywood movies.

Tommy Lee Jones was born in St. Saba, Texas, when he was studying at Harvard University, he was voted the best American football player in the Ivy League, Tommy Lee Jones became interested in theater in high school, and appeared on the stage after graduating from college, entered the film industry in 1970 with "Love Story", and was good at playing cold-blooded villains, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 93 for the role of the federal sheriff in "The Outlaw", and in 95, he played the role of Two-Face in "Batman Forever". "Men in Black" starring Smith was released, and in 2002, he played Agent K again in "Men in Black 2".

In 2005, Tommy Lee Jones made his debut as a director, directing "The Three Funerals of Escada", which was finally nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Jones also won the Cannes Best Actor award for the film, and the North American distribution of the film was handled by Columbia Pictures, but at that time, Columbia was experiencing the most drastic changes in history, and the box office was not very ideal.

Mark's last film, "The Twilight Zone," was set in a tourist boom, with plans to launch a Twilight tour to attract out-of-town tourists, and Madison High School and Kamana High School jumped dozens of places to become the state's leading high schools.

Therefore, for the entry of the Mark crew, the local government has given great welcome and support.

Tommy Lee Jones, Heath Ledger, and Javier Bardon form the Iron Triangle, the original Woody Harrelson's big-name soy sauce party is made a cameo by the latest generation of 007 agent David Lee, and Cowboy Moss's wife Carla Jean is starring Mark's ex-girlfriend Blake, which is a decision made by Mark after auditioning several actresses within MM.

This is the Nth collaboration between Heath and Blake, and Mark is a little unnatural, this is the first time they have worked together since they broke up, but Blake is a little down-and-out and generous, and it should not be affected by the previous events.

Because Mark's crew is big enough and the checks written are generous, the actors are all vacant and rehearsed in advance, all waiting for Mark, a super big name.

Everyone understands this, before and after the Oscars is the busiest time for film companies, and it is also the harvest season, and it is gratifying that Mark's MM has been a huge success, and he also entered the group on time and started his career as a cameraman.

"No Country for Old Men" is the pinnacle of the Coen brothers' work, and the unique aesthetic style of the film and its noir narrative tone make the Coen brothers, as the genius of film noir, also full of personality in the presentation of film visual images, dignified and gloomy shots, Gothic ghost style, The Coen brothers' films vividly present the image characteristics of film noir in front of the audience, which is unforgettable, and the black elements are permeated in their films, whether it is in the design of environmental scenes, or in the scheduling of light and shadow, and the use of color.

The Coen Brothers' film noir occupies a place in the American film industry with its distinctive narrative style, unique and charming image world, and humorous parody of mixed genres, injecting fresh blood into the development of Hollywood films.

His film style is completely different from Mark's previous style, but Mark used to have both "Batman: The Time to Fight" that played superheroes deeply, and "Twilight", which is an extremely shallow idol movie.

Hollywood has this nickname is the ruffian Quentin, the master of violent aesthetics.

As the pinnacle of the Coen brothers' work, Mark thinks that there is nothing to change, and the copy is that he has a profound understanding of the theme of old and no-man, life cannot be relied on, rules cannot be relied on, and oneself cannot be relied on, the world is unreliable, and the theme of old and nowhere is finally going to be seen from the inside to the outside after many years, the Coen brothers originally wanted to say, have said, but do not know, Wu is free to play in the film technique, picture style (perhaps called the painting body, mirror body), "Old No Land" , the skill naturally becomes the background because of its skill, and becomes the invisible and indispensable internal pillar of the house, and the theme is no longer hidden in the back, but is clearly spoken.

In other words, the Coen brothers originally had the theme of no-dependency and then used this theme to play the movie, but now that the film is at its peak, there are no more tricks to play, so they use these pre-existing skills to explain the theme of no-dependence thoroughly.

As long as you keep this story and this style, you can replicate a different Coen Brothers-style meal, which is completely different from the previous style, which should give people a surprising feeling.

Because "No Country for Old Men" is almost a road movie, with most of the locations, and there are almost no fixed scenes, so they formed a huge RV fleet to facilitate mobile shooting, and the leading actors were assigned an RV to ensure the quality of life, and Mark of course drove the Mercedes-Benz modified luxury RV out, which he originally ordered for when he went out filming, and now it comes in handy.

In order to ensure the authentic western style of the 80s, they chose to shoot in some remote and poor areas in the west, many of these places retain the houses and buildings of the 80s.
