Chapter 366: Movies Are Like Women
"Love and hate, ice and fire, life and death, yes, these seemingly extreme words can be applied to each of us, because they are opposite to each other, and happiness and sorrow and prosperity and decline are what I want to say, as long as I come to this world, a person will have his own happiness and pain, joy and sorrow, and there will be two completely different sides of passion and indifference in the character, and the same will experience life and death.

Just after dinner, Clattenberg sat in front of the TV and switched to Fox Cable, which he had only ordered last year, and although it was not yet the start time of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", the warm-up program started early.
He came across a fantasy novel called "A Song of Ice and Fire" from a book supplement earlier this year, tried to read it, and then became a crazy book lover, and after learning that the novel was adapted into a TV series, he has been looking forward to seeing the TV series sooner.
He didn't worry much about the quality of the TV series, the screenwriter was personally checked by the original author George Martin, and the director was Hollywood's premier new generation director Murphy Stanton, and the cast also included famous actresses like Jessica Alba......
"The TV series should be very good." Clattenberg thinks so.
Compared to book lovers, Daisy, who is also waiting in front of the TV, has no interest in the original novel, and she waits for the TV series to start, just because it is the work of Murphy Stanton.
With Murphy's two films in a row super selling and being nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, the size of the discussion group swelled like a balloon blown, and these people are closely following the launch of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" tonight.
Over the years, Murphy has also had a legion of supportive fans who stayed at home instead of going to the theater on Friday night.
However, there is a certain barrier to entry to see "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", and cable TV stations are different from public TV stations and need to pay a lot of money every month.
Daisy, for example, also just bought a Fox cable service this month.
"It's all worth it to see Murphy's new work."
She said to the people in the discussion group on social software, and quite a few people agreed with her and said, "Murphy's production must be a high-quality product!" β
Some people are puzzled, "Why did Murphy go to make a TV series?" Doesn't it mean that popular directors rarely shoot TV series? β
Because Murphy chose to shoot the TV series, Daisy knew something about it, and her fingers crackled on the keyboard, giving what she thought was a reasonable explanation.
"It's also very interesting to do TV dramas, you can keep yourself busy, and you can see the results of your work quickly."
After her words were sent, someone chimed in, "Yes, when the series you develop is selected by the TV station, then you will be able to see the ratings and results in 7 or 8 months." Compared to movies, waiting for a story to be born can be time-lapse. β
Daisy knocked again, "Time should be regarded as an inexhaustible element of life for great directors." From the conception and preparation of a film to the start of filming to the setting of the release date and promotion...... Spielberg's Schindler's List took him 10 years, and George Lucas spent his entire life struggling with Star Wars. Investment, actors, technology and even the weather have sometimes become the 'Godot' that big directors have to wait for, and how many good stories have been buried, postponed, and taken to the grave because of these factors......"
Although it makes a lot of sense, Daisy is an outsider after all.
One of the deputy leaders of the discussion group, an industry insider in Hollywood, who usually rarely speaks, also jumped out at this time.
"Movies are like women, they are too expensive, and they also require a lot of care, love and sincerity, and in the end you need a lot of time to know whether the ending you are waiting for is the happy "Pretty Woman" or the sad "Superman Returns...... In this era of rapid consumption, people's patience is really limited, and it is rare for the seeds of infatuation to wait for 10 years. β
The man seemed to be quite emotional, Daisy had just finished reading that paragraph, and he went on to send out a longer paragraph.
"Compared with movies, TV dramas do have little investment and quick results, and now large film and television groups have their own film and television production studios, and personnel are often exchanged, which provides convenience for film directors. Like Spielberg and "Band of Brothers", it is not uncommon for big directors to put down their bodies and devote themselves to the production of TV series in Hollywood, few people insist on living in the ivory tower without changing their nature, everyone is more willing to use their works to communicate with more people and vent their desires, who cares if the form is TV instead of movies? β
"Small pictures can also reflect big ideas, and with big directors like Murphy and Spielberg at the forefront, more people will embark on this unusual road, and of course, it will always benefit our group of avid and die-hard audiences."
As the clock approached 21 p.m., more and more people gathered in front of the television.
There are also a lot of people gathered in the pull-up room of the UCLA Film Club, and because of Gal Gadot's relationship, quite a few club members are very concerned about Murphy's dynamics.
This event, convened by John and Mawson, attracted a lot of people, and Gal Gadot did not return to Santa Monica because he had a class tonight, but came here after class, waiting for "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" to start.
Although she has never liked Murphy's style of work, she will still do everything possible to support her boyfriend.
With some time to go before 9 p.m., Fox Radio was still using its last days to build momentum for Game of Thrones, with two famous critics sitting on the couch in the studio and touting the fantasy TV series.
"A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" is actually an epic of troubled times, a wonderful life story of people with completely different personalities but deep destiny connections in this turbulent and changeable world, and strive to find their ultimate life path and meaning. And in this difficult process, everyone has their own joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows......"
Approaching 21 o'clock, the host made the final mobilization.
"It's such a person who has built this world of ice and fire, written the story and history that belongs to this world, this era, and every page of him is soaked in too many people's blood and tears, love and hate, life and death, so whether you read a book or a play, please be sure to watch it and taste it, because this is a wonderful good story, although I can't tell the whole story for you like a good troubadour, but I also want to experience the laughter and tears with you, Feel the preciousness and impermanence of life, so let me and you start now! β
As soon as 21 o'clock arrives, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" starts on time on Fox Cable!
Clattenberg took the last sip of coffee from his cup and stared intently at the television, flicking his fist lightly as the overture to the show appeared.
"That's right! That's how it feels! β
The beginning of the TV series continues the story and style in the overture of the original book, first of all, as the three night watchmen of the desperate Great Wall, cross the wall and march north, and at this time, the surrounding environment and atmosphere give Clattenberg the feeling of being so cold and gloomy, the iron rope is slowly pulled up, the heavy wooden door is slowly raised, and the three people hold torches and walk through the long road that makes him feel like there is no end.
And when the last gate was raised, everyone was greeted by a heavy layer of snow that was completely different from the previous black and heavy feeling, which obviously did not bring much lightness, because the Great Wall of Desperation was originally built by the ancestors with solid ice to defend the entire kingdom against the invasion of evil and barbarian forces in the vast northern wilderness. Stepping out of the Great Wall means being in a dangerous environment with too many unknowable elements, and you must always be careful, always vigilant, and aware of the situation around you.
Daisy closed her laptop for a while, turned her chair around, and stared at the TV, as soon as the TV series began, she looked extremely nervous, as if something not very good was about to happen.
Sure enough, soon, one of the three people, a seemingly clever young man, noticed a faint smoke rising from a low-lying area not far away, he dismounted, crawled through the snow with difficulty, and finally when he climbed to the small hill where he could observe, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became extremely panicked.
The camera moves slowly like his gaze, and finally falls on the small depression, and then Daisy excitedly sees a bloody corpse fragments, a horrific hellish scene, and at the moment when the man hurriedly turns around, he sees the body of a little girl nailed to a tree.
At this minute, Gal Gadot sighed and shook his head, Murphy really wants to carry out his "yellow, violent and dark" style to the end!
For a moment, her heart, liver and lungs were a little ready to vomit.
Unlike Gal Gadot, the people around him are full of interest, even those who don't know the original work are instantly caught by these large-scale dramas. (To be continued.) )
