List analysis, entering August, there is no blockbuster blessing, lack of "excitement", North Mi box office is sluggish, MM has two movies in the top ten, namely the first place Talladega Night: Ricky Bobby Ballad, and the seventh place Sunshine Little Beauty, so far MM has won ten weeks of championships, currently the first of the six, "Iron Man" contributed three, and the popular "The Demon Wears Prada" did not win any of them, but its box office has reached 150 million, which has embarrassed countless blockbusters.
Iger and the three rookies led the MM set a record that countless big Hollywood companies are envious and jealous, this movie is not just rich enough, DreamWorks has used facts to illustrate this, even the Wall Street speculators who are raging all over the world have to cross the river with their eggs in Hollywood, this movie is to play talent and talent plus luck.
You don't see that even the great director Spielberg is also Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year is not as good as a year, and the king of the world, James Cameron, has not been able to hold back a fart for eight years, the world is so difficult, but MM is a success, which makes Paramount, which is going downhill, envious, if it weren't for MM having a strong backstage, they would have already made a purchase.
The preparation of "Twilight" is extremely smooth, but this "Dark Knight" is not smooth, and it is still facing the risk of changing the protagonist, which can also be understood as facing premature death and miscarriage, and another project "No Country for Old Men" is not very smooth, after the script is written, this casting has become a big problem.
This is a work with a strong style of the Coen brothers, and if any of the living American directors are replaced to direct Lao Wu Yi (including screenwriters), it is impossible to do better than the Coen brothers.
Original director Joel Cohen said of the original, "What really appealed to us about the story was that it overturned all the expected impact of the genre.
And the movie itself has done this, the most intuitive feeling is that the most restrained action scenes and thriller elements have brought the strongest tension, and the cost performance of the violent atmosphere should be a once in ten years.
In all the scenes of handcuff killing, tie killing, string killing, and rope killing in film history, the handcuff killing at the beginning of this film can rank first, and the liquefied gas tank killing is undoubtedly the first, and there is no second.
The director likes to use shotguns in gunfights, but only this movie can make shotguns appear as cold weapons. The villain has to have a shape, but only this nurse's head is unforgettable, and it can make ordinary elements so extraordinary, in addition to the team's credit, it mainly depends on the director's good vision.
The gas station coin guessing scene can definitely jump out of the genre and market of the movie itself and become a classic. Taking these few minutes in its entirety as an independent short film is still a masterpiece.
With Mark's temper, it must have made the Mark gang up, but the original Tommy Leigh Jones, Woody Harrelson, Javier Balden, Josh Brolin, etc. are too wonderful and excellent, and the supporting actor Javier Balden's acting skills are the most attractive, making this desert movie that combines humor, acting, and thriller even more attractive.
Mark made this movie, not for the box office, but for the eight Oscar nominations and five awards, the villain killer Will Barden won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and this award is inseparable from his excellent personal image and hard performance.
Its funding will not be a problem, where to shoot, how to shoot and what kind of talent to use.
As a film noir, "No Country for Old Men" uses low-key lighting and dark colors throughout the film, rendering the gloomy and thrilling atmosphere of the film It can be said that it is a movie without a soundtrack, although there is no soundtrack to render the mood and atmosphere of the film, but it makes the film seem more real, more like a fragment of life, rather than a play, and really achieves the effect of silence is better than sound at this time.
This is one of Mark's ambitious works, even if it is photocopying and plagiarism, it must be 100% careful and effortful, this is like a delicate painting, and a little more or less will affect the effect, unlike Mark's previous works, a pure commercial film, in many links too much or too little focus is not likely to affect the perception.
Now he is not facing an audience who walks into the cinema with popcorn and soda, but a film school and film critics who are critical of the film, and any detail neglect can lead to overall failure.
Hollywood is a vanity fair, Mark went for money and status at the beginning, but after he got rich, he began to hope for higher status and fame, fame and advantage is invincible, which is driven by ambition and desire.
Mark is different from Xiao Lizi These stars, he eats by his face and popularity, he is old and yellow, and when his popularity is no longer good, he can't be beautiful, and there is no more drama to film, so many idol stars in the 80s and 90s, how many of them can still be mixed up now? Those who can continue to be active in the film industry are only those who eat acting skills with real deeds, Xiao Lizi understands this, and takes advantage of his youth to transform in time.
Even if Mark is the most behind-the-scenes, he is just a relatively high-level director, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a producer, and the producer who can make money is the best producer, and whether he can win an award or not is secondary, of course, with the blessing of the best film, he can make his career and fame go to the next level.
Mark promised Giselle that he would take her to the red carpet, by strength, not by status, every time Giselle watched the Oscars, he despised Mark for not seeking progress, and would only mess around in commercial films.
Mark's office was visited by a big guy, Will Smith, who has been red since "Independence Day" and "Men in Black" who has made him known as the king of science fiction, who has a good relationship with Columbia Pictures, such as the "Men in Black" series and last year's "Enemy of Love", and he has a close relationship with Columbia Pictures President Layton.
This time he brought the biographical film "The Pursuit of Happiness", which has a more resounding name, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which is a film invested by Columbia Pictures and starring Will Smith.
Speaking in good conscience, this was discovered by Leiden and Pascal, and Mark did not intervene and promote, but they sent the project application to Mark, and he waved his hand and immediately agreed to the application.
"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is based on the forthcoming autobiography of the same name by black investment expert Chris Gardner, which is a typical inspirational story of the United States. As a single father, Gardner was faced with the dilemma of not being able to solve his own food and clothing, and in the most difficult times, Gardner had to carry the only possessions he had on his back, and then went to the homeless shelter with his son in the diaper in one hand and a stroller in the other. When there is really nowhere to stay, the father and son can only spend the night in places like parks and subway toilets.
Will Smith does not often appear in this kind of literary films, this time he was moved by the script adapted from a true biography, so he decided to play the leading role, and personally served as a producer, and he also found Tandy, a black actress who became popular with "Impact Effect", because he admired Gabriel Muchino's films one by one "The Last Kiss" and "Different Dreams in the Same Bed", Will Smith invited Gabriel Muchino to direct this movie
This is also the ambition of Will Smith, who himself plays the lead role and producer, while his real-life son Jaden Smith plays Chris's son Christopher, who fights the tiger brothers and goes into battle with father and son.
After they got the funding, they started filming in San Francisco and Oakland, many of them were on location, and after the work was completed, they cut it and brought it to Mark for correction as soon as possible, and it was early June, Mark was full of praise for the work, thinking that Will Smith contributed an Oscar-winning performance, and expressed his willingness to press the Olympics for it, which made Will Smith very happy.
However, Mark also pointed out more than a dozen goofs in the movie, which are all shots of the original goofs, which made this fine movie have a lot of flaws, and Will Smith After hearing Mark's correction, they went back to revise and re-edit to make everything more reasonable and perfect.
Now watching the final version, Mark decided to promote the film on a large scale after watching it, and let Daniel's team carry out public relations to rush the Olympics, so that there are four works that MM will participate in the Oscars this year, "Infernal Affairs", "The Demon Wears Prada", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", "Little Sunshine Beauty", which will be a big year for MM Oscars.
"The Demon Wears Prada" is almost offline, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is in theaters, and has achieved good results and responses, "Infernal Affairs" is scheduled to be released in October, and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" is scheduled for December.
In this way, among the blockbusters released by MM in the second half of the year, there are "007: Casino Royale", "Night at the Museum", "Infernal Affairs", "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which will fully participate in the competition for each month and schedule, and will be one of the big winners, showing the heroic style of large companies, in the original version of Soni also released 30 movies this year, and North Mi won a box office of 1.8 billion US dollars, the first of the six.
