Chapter 423: East and West

"This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is a more controversial movie, but it did not damage Zhang Tan's status in the film industry in the slightest, but greatly improved.

If Zhang Tan used the Matrix series to let people see his talent in commercial films, then this one made people see his extraordinary literary and artistic atmosphere.

Literature, art, business, both are proficient, this is the talent that only a great director has.

If you have to compare a template from the previous life, it probably belongs to the genre of Spielberg, the director of "Schindler's List" and "Jurassic Park", second only to the director of the master.

In today's mature film industry, it is difficult for a director to be called a master, and masters are all characters who have created a style or a genre. The directors of the previous period were able to be called masters by later generations because of their pioneering styles and genres. In this era, Spielberg is the pinnacle of directing.

Even James Cameron, the king of the world, is a little worse.

James Cameron's works "Titanic" and "Avatar" shook the world, and he deserves to be the first person in commercial films. But Kashen's literary and artistic atmosphere is much inferior, and he has basically never made literary films, so when it comes to great-level directors, Kashen is ignored by many people.

For example, Christopher Nolan also has this problem, there are too many commercial films, too few literary films, and his fame is scary, but his reputation is unsatisfactory.

And some other Oscar regulars, such as Martin Scorsese, have one excellent film after another, but they always lose out on the commercial poor.

So among the directors who are still active in this era, Spielberg is the top one.

And in the world after Zhang Tan's rebirth, many directors do not exist. It's just replaced by other directors, and the overall form is still similar to that of the previous life.

This is a time when there are no more masters of cinema.

It is also difficult for Zhang Tan to get the title of a master. But there is still a lot of hope for becoming the first director today. At least after the Matrix series came out. His fame is already close to the god of cards. Now that "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" has come out, it has added a lot of momentum to him.

In the minds of many people, Tan Shen has even gradually surpassed the card god.

At least in terms of IMDb ratings, Zhang Tan's movie has completely exploded Cameron's movie.

Of course, it is not easy for Zhang Tan to catch up with Cameron's awards and box office. The big ship swept 13 Oscar awards, and the Blue Star people were more than $2.7 billion worldwide, a record that is not something ordinary people can do. Zhang Tan has only been nominated for an Oscar for Best Director so far, and the highest box office is only more than $1.5 billion.

Judging by the works in his memory. It is basically impossible to surpass Cameron's results, and the only way to win is to win by quantity and quality.

There is no one who directs a Top-250 work a year and writes countless works that can be called masterpieces.

With the rise of Zhang Tan, Zhang Tan's positioning has also become a topic that countless film critics and audiences are very worried about.

"No one can deny Tan's talent, and his future is limitless. But at the moment, Tan lacks enough awards to prove himself. - The point of view of "Variety".

"Empire" argues: "Tan has proven himself to be a great director. His first film, "Crazy Stone", was amazing enough to create a style of multi-line storytelling. Every film has received countless praises, and no one has done a better job than a director of the 21st century. ”

"Nandu Entertainment Weekly" likes to compare Zhang Tan with Cameron: "Cameron is a representative of the Industrial Party. His films are often accompanied by an industrial revolution in the film industry; Tan Zhang is an expert in philosophy, and many of his works are full of amazing philosophical thinking, thinking about human beings and society. ”

Basically, the media praised Zhang Tan. The audience also likes Zhang Tan very much, and the appeal of his movies is undoubted. On the web though. It is divided into two factions and argues endlessly.

One faction is the Tan Black faction. One faction is the Tan Chui faction.

Tan Heipai said: "Tan Zhang is really terrible, he almost wiped out IMDb, and made Tan Zhang the first in the world." ”

He also said: "Tan Chui's favorite thing to do is: compare the box office with the Oscar director, and compare the connotation with the commercial director." ”

Tan Chuipai said: "Top-250 represents the mainstream view of the public, Tan Shen's six movies are on the list, there is no one before or since, who dares to compare!" ”

He also said: "Those who give Tan Shen a bad review are all sunspots, jealousy, and Chiguoguo's jealousy!" I, Tan Shen, am Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and in the next thirty years, there will be time to slap you in the face! ”

The feud between Tan Hei and Tan Chui spread to almost every corner of the forum about the movie.

There are winners and losers of each other, and no one can overpower anyone, but the most recognized by passers-by is a declaration of toner: "The past is the card god, now it is everyone's, and the future is Tan God's!" ”

……

And so 2016 passed.

As soon as 2017 arrived, the 89th Academy Awards were held, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was not popular with the awards, no nominations, and "Batman: Time to War" only received one nomination for Best Cinematography, and finally failed to win.

However, at the subsequent MTV Movie Awards, as a revival of DC Comics, "Time to Go to War" dominated the competition, winning nine nominations for Best Hero Role, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Costume, Best Special Effects, and Best Soundtrack.

The MTV Movie Awards are voted for by audiences, and the winners are films that are hugely popular and loved by the audience.

In the end, "Time to War" won three awards: Best Heroic Character, Best Actor and Best Screenplay.

At the same time, the set of "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" were completed in June, and the filming lasted nearly a year.

Post-production takes time, so naturally it won't be released this year, so the movie is scheduled for July 2018 and July 2020.

After filming these two films, Zhang Tan's cooperation with Warner Bros. is not over.

After a month's break, move on to the creation of the next film.

"I've always had an idea to think about the differences between Eastern and Western cultural thinking, and the next thing is for me to put my idea into practice, I will shoot two films, these two films are different stories under the same idea, using Eastern thinking and Western thinking."

The new work was established, and Zhang Tan was interviewed by The Hollywood Reporter: "I will shoot one in Hollywood, and then return to China to shoot another one." ”

"What kind of story is a movie?" The reporter asked.

"I won't reveal too much for the time being, in short, it's a story about undercover." Zhang Tan said with a smile.

He will shoot one in the United States in half a year, and then Susa will just end her exchange at USC and return to China with him, and then go to Xiangxiang to shoot another one.

"This time, hit the Oscars, and by the way, collect the best directors of the five awards of Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, Huabiao, Golden Horse, and Golden Statue Chinese Film, and be a grand slam man!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Let me reveal, this book is over with more than 100,000 words, and it's time to take a break if you've been pretending to be forced for too long.

The new book is almost ready, probably an interesting genre.
