Chapter 57: Seducing Ambition
Peter? Gubel and Jon? Peters, these two guys were only producers before, and I don't know how He De could have appointed Sony as co-CEO, but at least their judgment of Caesar is still very accurate.
The strategy discussed by Gubert and Peters was not to clash head-on, it was better to compete in cooperation, even if it was a small gesture, but not to make the relationship too stiff, that would not do Colombia any good.
When the profit is measured in millions of dollars, murder and arson are not a formidable crime.
Eisner's kidnapping is clearly angry, because Disney's recent situation is not optimistic, the market for traditional cabaret animated films has languished to the point of despair, and a live-action children's film like Caesar's Home Alone is a critical blow to Disney.
If Disney can't find a new profit point or launch a new cartoon with a strong box office, not to mention how the shareholders will explain, with the character of Eisner himself, a competitive maniac, I am afraid that if he does not do extreme things, he will resign.
This is the real reason why Eisner said angry words after going berserk, but Guebel and the others will not see Eisner's anger from Eisner's side, and Gubert only sees Eisner lose his mind in his eyes.
Even if Eisner is angry, if something really happens to the Caesar family, Eisner is the prime suspect.
The end result was a split between the two parties, and Eisner knew that his gaffe had made the other party feel worried about the future of working with Disney, but no one was perfect. A tyrant is a tyrant because he says nothing and has a short temper. It's normal to say something out of the ordinary, but if you can't get used to hearing and seeing, you're coming to bite me!?
No matter how bad they are and how they plot, Caesar's movies continue to be popular.
No matter what the gang had secretly prepared, Caesar still smiled a little obscenely with the three-day box office report for the weekend.
In the first three days of the weekend, the box office of 307 million made many competitors almost want to call the police.
Although, it seems, this box office is not as high as that of Caesar's first two films. But what one must pay attention to is the difference in scheduling rates.
The set of "Pulp Fiction" lasted more than 150 minutes, and the director said that it would be shown at least two less shows a day.
With two fewer screenings than other films, it won 30 million in the first weekend. It's a full-beat pace.
However, some media entertainment columns sent reporters to do a special squatting statistics, and theaters in big cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Houston are really full.
Because of the huge population of these big cities, the number of Caesar's fans is also immeasurable.
According to a sample survey, more than 90 percent of Caesar's fans watched it twice. More than 60 percent watched it three times.
It's not because fans help Caesar swipe tickets. It's the film that pioneered a chaotic narrative structure, which people often don't understand because they miss certain shots.
You need to watch it a second time to connect a qiฤ clue, and finally restore it into a complete story in your own mind.
In the face of this movie, the critics can be said to have collectively reached a spiritual high, and countless praises have aroused the curiosity of audiences who have not seen it, and this kind of free advertising treatment is the first time that Caesar has enjoyed.
In fact, this film is far from the kind of Cheng dรน of the "Godfather" series, but the problem now is that if a person is a film critic and does not praise "Pulp Fiction", he becomes an amateur. Synonymous with the layman.
For example, USA Today, a gunman media that specializes in Black Caesar, satirized Pulp Fiction as a result of the smashed windows of the editorial office. The editor-in-chief was mailed bullets, and the editor was dragged into the alley to teach how to behave.
And it was thought by readers that they couldn't understand this movie, so they sprayed blindly.
With USA Today's new editor-in-chief, Al Young? In the words of Morozov, it was "a big joke!" I don't know what the so-called circular narrative structure is, what's there not to understand!? โ
That being said, "Pulp Fiction" is an absolute pioneer in disrupting the narrative structure, both in Caesar's past and present lives.
Before that, there was only flashbacks as a form of storytelling, which was used to explain some of the plots in the early part of the timeline, and even this attracted high praise when it was first used in the film.
Now, it's known that movies can not only have flashbacks, but also completely disrupt the time of the entire story, allowing the director to reassemble it in any way he likes.
As the Los Angeles Times commented:
After interviewing several viewers, it was confirmed that the FUVK appeared a total of 271 times in the lines of this film, which may be a big record in the current film history, which will definitely not be left behind, because from now on, there will definitely be no fewer movies imitating Caesar's style, but 271 FUVK is definitely unprecedented in film history.
It's a pity that the number of fuvks is not the selling point of this movie, and the unpredictable plot development is the most exciting reason for this movie.
First of all, I sat in someone's store and discussed how to rob someone's ...... What a fuvk this is!?
Who thought of such a plot unfolding before Caesar?
Throughout the movie, every time you think the plot should be how it should be, you jump out of your mindset and go completely to another unknown path.
You think that the person who is dying in silence will definitely die, and even not only will you die, but also the person who will affect others, and finally retreat and become a winner in life.
The person you think is the coolest and most dazzling who will definitely live to the end of life often comes to the end of their life in an unexpected moment.
Caesar hints at these episodes before they happen, but they don't serve any role as reminders, and of course, that's why hints are hints, and they are often completely ignored.
Compare "Pulp Fiction", Caesar's "Marx? The two movies "Payne" and "Home Alone" are simply small and refreshing movies at the level of chicken soup for the soul.
In the first two parts, the bad guys will always be punished. Good people always have the last laugh. Those who rob homes and houses, kill people and set fires often end up dying.
Caesar's "Pulp Fiction" is an abnormal movie routine, and all the characters are analyzed at first glance. None of them are positive characters in the traditional sense, and all of them are villains.
The film shows the primitive style of the dark world in a naked stack, and Caesar shows the daily life of the wicked without screening, giving the film a noir, heavy tone.
However, precisely because it shows the fights and killings and life and death between these villains, the film seems less heavy in the eyes of the audience. So there is a story that can laugh at the dead, and can make pregnant women laugh prematurely, the story of gold watches.
Some bad guys fight to the death. What does it have to do with us as ordinary viewers? So Caesar can make fun of these so-called protagonists, and let the audience be a spectator with him, to witness how people in these dark worlds live.
Yes, the whole movie is about life. One that is different from ordinary people. Life that belongs to the dark world.
There is no ruthless killer who doesn't say a word, and there is no thrilling shooting with a gun, the violence comes very suddenly and stops very quickly.
Of course, Caesar has always been consistent in this point, and apart from children's movies like Home Alone, "Marx? Although Penn and Pulp Fiction are completely different in style, their understanding of violence is still absolutely Caesar.
In Caesar's two R-rated films. None of the two instances appear to shoot between each other for more than ten seconds.
Even if "Marx? What is highly anticipated in Payne is the final high-rise boss battle. Caesar's cinematic style doomed him not to let the "gun" lose its meaning as a modern weapon.
It's the same in "Pulp Fiction", how can there be so many open fields in modern urban life that require tens of thousands of bullets from both sides to eliminate a target.
The streets between buildings, the corridors between rooms, and even as described in Pulp Fiction, the battles take place in the same room, just a stone's throw away.
The assassination and rebellion in the dark world often take place within a combat radius of no more than five meters, and in this close range, the hundreds of bullets between the protagonist and the villain in the previous movies seem a bit like a child's gunplay game.
In Caesar's films, if you don't pull out a gun, as long as you pull out a gun, up to three shots, it will take a life. Extra bullets often imply some kind of ritual (e.g., Jules must run out of bullets after reading the Bible), or simply to vent his anger.
This is in contrast to the games designed and developed by Caesar, where boss fights often mean protracted tug-of-war for the sake of replayability, and the protagonist must be in a situation where he or she is outnumbered to be perfect.
Another interesting phenomenon is that it is similar to "Marx? Payne adheres to the same vein of real ammo counts.
"Pulp Fiction" and "Marx? Payne", but for any shot shot, you can count how many rounds of bullets were fired by both sides according to the different guns and start changing magazines.
Take Caesar's favorite, 1911, for example, the unmodified 1911 is eight rounds, which belongs to the limit of the reload after leaving one bullet in the chamber.
In Caesar's films, the main character's 1911 will never be fired more than eight times, and there will be a shot of changing the magazine, even if this shot is short, just a flash.
Of course, there will also be cases where after firing five or six rounds of ammunition, the magazine will be changed in advance, and according to Caesar's Blackwater consultants, this is actually all to maintain tactical fire suppression.
In conclusion, we can see that the real amount of ammunition is a little paranoid on the part of Caesar.
Maybe he watched too many Westerns with infinite ammo when he was a kid and had a psychological shadow, right?
After writing so much, I have always endured no spoilers, and it can be regarded as the conscience of the industry, and I don't know if Caesar will invite me to a meal or give me a lifetime ticket or something?
In short, as a loyal movie fan, "Pulp Fiction" must be one of the must-see movies of a lifetime, even if you are not a hardcore movie fan, just watch the kind casually, "Pulp Fiction" is also a classic that should not be missed.
I strongly recommend that everyone go and see this "Pulp Fiction" with a revolutionary narrative structure.
Finally, I really envy the little couple surnamed Papan among Caesar fans, in every sense. โ
From the Los Angeles Times, Editor-in-Charge of the Entertainment Section - William? Duchoni.
This review is one of the reasons for a new wave of movie-going frenzy. The second is the operation of Twentieth Century Fox under Judy's leadership.
Many people don't understand why Caesar's movie is so low-key, in fact, as far as Caesar knows. The current publicity efforts will not reach the scale of the Internet era in any case. Especially under the active publicity effect of Caesar's massive fans, the gap between doing publicity and not doing publicity is really not big.
On the basis of this gap, if resources are invested in publicity, the effect will only be excessive publicity, and there is no practical meaning except for burning money.
So. Caesar didn't care about outside speculation at all, as for the inside of Twentieth Century Fox? That's the good thing about a private business, and there's no shareholder to have to give back to Caesar and explain why he's doing it.
He can do whatever he wants. Everyone else is just employees.
Actually, just this one, is enough for Michael? Eisner was envious, jealous and hateful.
After explaining the rest, Caesar returned to his Tampa Bay mansion with Judy's three daughters. A new round of recuperation began.
However. The members of the Caesar Club came to find them one after another.
The Bunny Drive-Restaurant, which has become more and more popular with the release of "Pulp Fiction", has opened their eyes to new profitable projects, and the stars and celebrities who did not catch up or refused to take a stake in the "Star Entertainment Hotel Chain" are now all regretting.
There are even celebrities who beat their chests in public and said that if they were given another chance, they would never refuse any opportunity offered by Caesar.
Nowadays, the news that "Bunny Car Restaurant" has already completed the trademark registration around the world spreads, and the stars and celebrities who rushed up to ask for shares did not hesitate at all.
These days, it has been opened at the intersection of the Avenue of Stars. In the world's only "Bunny Drive-in Restaurant", these celebrities and celebrities are the most frequented.
They are more curious about this restaurant than the average viewer. Then they found out that the food at the restaurant was not only super tasty, but it really had that five-dollar super milkshake from the movie......
Some of those with brains have discovered a phenomenon in which all the celebrity imitators in the restaurant imitate celebrities and celebrities who have passed away.
Elvis Presley, Monroe, John? Wayne, Ingrid? Bergman, Fei? Wenli, Rita? Hayworth, Grace? Kelly, James? Dean, John? Lennon blah blah.
Except for former President Richard Nixon, none of them are still alive.
As long as it is not a malicious attack, the United States is a country that can ridicule the country's leadership at will, not to mention that this is a president who was forced to step down after the shady curtain was exposed, so Nixon is the only living person who has been imitated here.
What does this message mean? Smart people can spot it at a glance.
Portrait! Caesar is circumventing the image rights lawsuit, and although the family of the deceased may also take the opportunity to fight a lawsuit with Caesar, it is much less likely.
In the United States, the image rights of the deceased are not protected by law unless the likeness of the deceased is used in an insulting manner.
In other words, if Caesar uses the image rights of the deceased to imitate, it is impossible for his family to win the lawsuit unless there is evidence that Caesar made the imitator use insulting clothing or behave in an insulting manner.
In this way, the choice in front of these stars is simple, use your portrait right as part of the shares, add some money, and you can comfortably wait to collect the money, why not?
With Caesar's character, he won't let their imitators eat live streams.
This is second only to the one without the profit, the one with the profit.
So, Caesar only arrived home for two days to rest, and a group of club members came to the door in a hurry.
Caesar arranged for them all to stay at FFF headquarters for a while.
During the construction of the FFF company's headquarters, he deliberately left a floor on the top floor of the staff dormitory, which is a dedicated VIP room, with a restaurant, gymnasium, swimming pool and games room, and the gym also has its own bathroom and sauna. There's also an elevator that goes straight to the top floor, where you can enjoy the views of Tampa Bay's blue sea, blue skies and white beaches, the ocean breeze and sunbathing.
This configuration has made Hollywood stars maddened, and they seem to finally understand the gap between themselves and the top rich.
Because, they found that the luxurious rooms they lived in were actually just more attendants than Caesar's staff dormitory.
That's right, all the facilities are exactly the same, the only difference is that the VIP room has a special waiter to help serve dishes and change bed sheets, while employees can only go to the restaurant to eat by themselves in the dormitory, and there is no waiter to help bring back food.
This discovery made them even more eager to join Caesar's money chariot.
If you don't keep up with Caesar, when will you be able to catch up with Caesar's net worth and style?
Why did Caesar gather them in VIP rooms? Certainly not to show off your wealth.
With his non-stop personality, he directly contacted all the club members who did not have shooting tasks and competition tasks to meet at FFF headquarters.
Since they all want to use part of the funds of the portrait rights holder to invest in the shares, Caesar will not be too stingy, not to mention that the chain scale of the rabbit restaurant will definitely not be small, and the more funds needed, the better, so he simply called all the big coffees.
Just some second- and third-rate stars, plus Monroe, how can these deceased superstars control the scene? Caesar called all the superstars led by Stallone.
If you want to play, play big and make the bunny restaurant like Disneyland, blooming all over the world.
Of course, the policy should be relaxed for stars outside North America, but all stars from various countries who have appeared in more than three Hollywood movies and each shot is not less than ten minutes can join in the way of portrait and capital in the rabbit restaurant in their country.
Of course, Caesar secretly added a clause of secrecy: these conditions of membership did not include Russian and Japanese stars.
All of Caesar's pillar industries are not allowed to be invested by outsiders, and they are absolutely privately owned, and in the "Caesar Club" in which they can participate or even encourage shareholding, Japanese and Soviet Russians are absolutely forbidden to enter.
Anyone close to Caesar knows this. (To be continued......)
ps: I can't squeeze out time if I want to break out, and it's Singles' Day...... The robbery group is about to come to the door...... I'm not sure I'll be dragged to drink. I'm really afraid of breaking off, and once I break it, it's easy to break monsters and fall, it's easy to form habits, and it's easy to be eunuchs......
