Chapter 778: He's Not as Good As You
The topicality of being entangled with Batman, which Layla admits. Batman did follow the popularity, and was favored by many fans for its "heroic" behavior of daring to collide directly with Lyra. However, the so-called mutual benefit, it is not interesting to do business too much, and it doesn't matter if you are rubbed. And it's not for nothing, the relative Leila's side also took advantage of the topic.
Nolan arrived just in time to see Leila reading the newspaper in her hand, and in a way that he was interested in everything she did, he immediately came over.
"It's a very interesting argument, and I think it makes some sense. Batman is a brave man, right?" he let out a burst of joyful laughter.
"Don't say that, if your Batman is a brave man, wouldn't I be the Great Demon King who will be defeated by you?"
Nolan said with a smile: "I also went to watch "War of the Worlds", and I originally went to see that it was Spielberg's darkest sci-fi film, and I wanted to see how dark it was. After watching it, I felt that my Batman movie should be considered the darker one. ”
Layla was amused by his words, "It's not the same type. To be honest, she actually appreciates the darkness in Batman more, which highlights humanity more, in her words, "the journey of human nature from light to darkness is so wonderful."
As for science fiction films, it is not for nothing that they have never been favored by various awards. For those reviewers, it seems that looking beyond commercial films can make them superior, and saying a nice word about commercial films can make them superficial.
"Mr. Spielberg's work this time can be regarded as a breakthrough in his directorial career. In commercial films, his achievements are quite remarkable. Otherwise, he would not be placed in the ranks of the world's top directors.
Nolan shook his head very seriously: "I think the most successful person in commercial films is you." Even Cameron is not as good as you. Although his films still occupy the first place in film history, look down, almost all of them are your name. ”
Leila was embarrassed, who told her to know what films would be liked by fans?
"Director Cameron's dedication to the film is very admirable, at least it is unlikely that I will spend hundreds of thousands more to remake it just because a few words are missing a word printed on a tissue. ”
This is a little story that has been reported for a long time, and almost all Titanic fans know it. Nolan was no exception, and he smiled, "I don't think I would do that." ”
"yes, so I'm not as good as him. Leila smiled.
Nolan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong: "This kind of seriousness is not necessarily correct, how many viewers do you think will seriously look at whether there are any words printed on the tissue, and what words are printed? He can shoot like this because there are people who support it, and it is difficult for ordinary new directors to get such support." I don't think his path is for anyone else to follow. ”
Not everyone is qualified to be so wasteful, provided that you can make investors feel at ease with you and let you squander it. It is not easy for a new director to find an investment, and it is impossible to refine it to the fullest. Even if she has so much money, doesn't she care about those places?
Leila shrugged, "You're right, maybe when I can understand his thoughts, that's when I break his box office record." ”
Even if you don't understand, I'm sure that day will come soon!"
Nolan said that she had more confidence than Layla, and she didn't know where such strong confidence came from.
"Thanks. Leila accepted his compliment with a smile: "Remember that director Spielberg has another movie to be released in December?"
"Yes, the Munich Massacre. I heard that the start of filming happened to be the premiere day of "War of the Worlds". ”
Nolan may not know when a sci-fi director's work will be released, but he will definitely know what the new film of top director Spielberg is.
Not only directors, but also the entire Hollywood film industry will pay more attention to the movements of big directors. The general default is that the works of the big directors should not be too close, and it will be boring to bump into each other and fight you to the death. If it weren't for Lyra's bet, she wouldn't have added the Lord of the Rings schedule to that competitive place so suddenly.
Leila remembers the movie, but only knows the name, and has no interest in going to see it. To be honest, she doesn't like to watch these kinds of movies, and just looking at the name makes her feel depressing.
Spielberg also had a classic "Hintler's List" before, and she also studied it because it was a work with a lot of praise. As a result, every time I watched it, it was as if my heart was being turned over and over, and her mood didn't improve for a long time. That's why she prefers commercial films to those of the kind.
"Munich Massacre" is a documentary film, mainly about revenge. The characteristic of this kind of film is that it is easy to win awards, but the box office is not very high. In the words of a film critic, it is not popular.
There is no way to do it, not many people can make the so-called "connotation and soul" films at the box office of commercial films.
"Speaking of the movies that will be released in December, there are two others that I am also interested in. "Leila counted the time, aren't they just the three movies that are squeezed together?
Nolan understood: "You mean Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" and Peter Jackson's "King Kong"?"
"That's right. When she heard the name Peter Jackson, Leila was rarely embarrassed. Because if it weren't for her appearance, the director would have made the "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" as early as 2001, and won the enviable Oscar for Best Director for this series.
"Director Ang Lee's filming technique is very beautiful, and I believe that with his lens, the theme of this film will be sublimated. ”
Nolan made a rare joke: "Is it because of the boycotted relationship of your movies that you are interested in his films?"
Lyra was amused: "Maybe. He's in a lot more trouble than I was in the situation, though. "One is the boycott of book fans being used by people with intentions, and the other is the boycott because of disagreement, and the situation of the latter is much more severe than that of the two.
"It seems nice to be boycotted like this once. "It would be nice to be able to change the fate of a discriminated group with a single film. Isn't what filmmakers want to do is to use movies to change the world and evolve the world?
Nolan suddenly showed a yearning expression, which made Lyra be surprised and remembered that the ancient Oriental officials longed to be beaten with the cane. Could it be that he, a person who is ignorant of the world, also wants to "go down in history"?
