"The premiere of "Atlantic Empire" is a big hit, and HBO's bet is a success again!"

Google, Yahoo, AOL, and other well-known websites have typed such titles. According to the official data of HBO TV, this gangster historical TV series that landed on HBO at 20 o'clock in the evening on May 18 has achieved hot ratings. easily received a total of 4.8 million viewers, although it failed to break the 10 million ratings miracle of the first broadcast of "Band of Brothers", but according to HBO insiders, there are currently more than 140 countries around the world related media are ready to buy the broadcast rights of the show, if the cooperation negotiation is successful, "Atlantic Empire" will likely surpass "Band of Brothers" and become the best-selling drama in HBO history.

In addition to the popularity of the ratings, the audience and film critics have rarely maintained the same evaluation of this TV series, Yahoo Entertainment's film critic Alonon said: "One episode, just one episode, I was shocked, this is the United States, no, the world's most 'black' TV series!" Dirty deals, black money, gambling, murder, blackmail, kidnapping, selling silver, politics [***], police and bandit collusion, everything you can think of related to gangsters will appear in the film, but all this makes you can't dislike it, it's a magical TV series! ”

"Atlantic Empire is undoubtedly the best new show of the year, yes, without a doubt. Extremely delicate pictures, wonderful plots, suitable soundtracks, and at the same time maintaining HBO's usual large scale, every actor in the play performs extremely exciting. Buscemi and Jack. Gyllen Hill's combination is even more eye-catching! A 90-minute episode of a TV series will make viewers feel like they are watching a big-budget movie, and it's not an exaggeration to call this TV series epic. I think this TV series has taught us a truth, that is, never to despise and question Mist, he has the hand of God! ”

On IMDB, HBO's "Atlantic Empire" has received a rating of more than 4,000 viewers so far, and the score stays at 9.4 points, which is second only to "The Complete History of World War II" and "Band of Brothers", ranking third in history, of course, as more viewers join, this data will fluctuate.

Give 10 points to Michael. Pete commented: "Atlantic Empire is a very elaborate TV series, with exquisite sets, lines and details that vividly recreate the social atmosphere of Atlantic City in 1920, or, more specifically, gradually uncover the luxury and decay of Atlantic City.

This TV series covers a wide range of information. If you cut out the large-scale HBO, it could be used as a video material for studying American social culture during the Prohibition period in college! ”

In addition to these accolades, some insiders have commented on the film from a professional point of view, and the Washington Post published an article in the Washington Post on Hollywood director Martin Brown. Scorsese's article: "First of all, this is a very well-made TV series, I don't need to say much about that, I would say that the use of filming techniques in this TV series is a complete innovation, a revolution in the TV drama industry!" ”

Martin. Scorsese seems to be thrilled in the article, because only a true director can see what makes this TV series different.

"As we all know, movies and TV series are two screen arts, the difference between the two is not in the investment and duration, but in the shooting method, TV series is shot in a step-by-step manner, while movies are shot in separate shots, in short, movies pursue more detailed pictures and expressions. This is the reason why the investment in movies far exceeds that of TV series. Speaking of famous TV series, I have to mention Steven's "Band of Brothers", but although this is a TV series with excellent ratings and excellent reputation, it still cannot lead the reform of TV dramas, because the quality of this TV series is supported by the US dollar. To put it simply, this TV series still uses the same method of shooting TV series, but it strives for perfection in every scene, I think, except for HBO, there should be no TV station willing to spend the same investment to create a TV series!

However, the appearance of "Atlantic Empire" made me realize that a reform and storm from the television industry is coming!

From the subtle grain texture in the TV picture after freeze-frame, we can see that "Atlantic Empire" uses an electronic camera, because the photosensitive particles of the film machine are very small and cannot be seen by the naked eye. At the same time, after rewinding and slowing down, we can also clearly see the traces of post-editing in this TV series, as well as the editing points of lens splicing. After going back and forth with the first episode, I came up with a set of stats that the first episode of "Atlantic Empire" was a combination of 174 reading shots and three clip scenes.

What does this mean? This means that this TV series uses a pseudo-montage shooting technique, which is a work that combines TV series and film shooting! ”

"Pseudo-montage?"

Hear Bella. When Marceau read the word in the newspaper, Xiansen smiled and nodded, it sounded good.

"A storyboard script, a screenplay for a TV series, shoots the important plot with the former, and the parts that don't affect the flow of the story are taken with the latter, and finally the two are combined through the computer, which is really a great idea!"

Martin. Scorsese continued in the article: "Of course, there is still a point to pay attention to, because this kind of creative shooting is definitely not something that an ordinary TV drama director can try, first of all, the fit of the two parts of the script on the lens, if you don't have rich experience in the shooting of a theme, you can't achieve a perfect integration." Oh, sorry, to add one last sentence, except for geniuses! ”

Beira. Marceau couldn't help but laugh as he read the last sentence, this one is called Martin. Scorsese's directing is really interesting, maybe he didn't suddenly remember until the last minute that this work that he couldn't try without experience was directed by a director who had never had experience in shooting gangsters or even TV dramas.

"Bella, I love this article, oh yes, and this director!"

Xiansen sat up from his office chair, took out a Cuban cigar from his pocket, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and continued: "I can see so many things through one TV episode, I suddenly want to meet this guy!" ”

Beira. Marceau put the newspaper on the desk, walked up to Xiansen, snatched the cigar from his hand, and said helplessly: "I really don't know how you like this thing?" ”

As he spoke, he put the two-hundred-dollar cigar in his pocket and continued, "I guess you haven't had time to meet him lately, and don't forget, you have other jobs besides Atlantic Empire, Steven. Spielberg handed over the directing rights to you personally. ”

"Alas, I forgot if you didn't say it."

Xiansen sighed, and then asked, "How's the preparation over there?" What kind of partner does DreamWorks want to pair Leo with? Tom. Hanks? ”

After saying the last name, Xiansen couldn't help but be happy, he remembered that he had been with Steven more than half a month ago. Spielberg when he talks about the movie "Impunity":

"What advantages do you think you have? Mister, you know, even if I don't shoot, I can give it to other directors, what advantages do you think you can impress me? ”

"Leonardo!"

Xiansen spit out a name, took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it with a smile: "I have Leonardo, a talented actor, to be honest, don't you think this script is designed for Leonardo?" As he spoke, he spat out a smoke ring towards Steven and continued: "Let's put it this way, for some reasons, I will definitely shoot a spy film this year, if you shoot "Get Away" for someone else, then I will find a script myself, of course, it will be a waste of time, but, I think, it shouldn't be difficult to collide with "Get Away"! ”

Xiansen made it clear that either we cooperate, or I will fight you to the death.

"Is this a threat?"

Steven. Spielberg stared into Xiansen's eyes and asked rhetorically, and after the two looked at each other for a while, Steven. Spielberg burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, I have Tom. Hanks, which of the two of us do you think is stronger? ”

Xiansen flicked the cigar into the trash and laughed too.

"Hahahaha, I can grab Tom. Hanks, you'll never be able to grab Leonardo! ”

Well, hearing Xiansen's words, Steven was a little speechless for a while, indeed, Xiansen could snatch Tom from him at a high price. Hanks because Tom. Hanks has his own agency, but he can never snatch Leonardo from him. DiCaprio, everyone in the circle knows the relationship between the two, and Leonardo is currently a contracted actor at the "Black Hole" film studio.

"Ok, you won!"

Steven. Spielberg stood up and added, "DreamWorks will send someone to sign a contract with you tomorrow, Mister, don't mess with me"

The confrontation between popular directors and top directors is so direct and crisp, because these two are people with surnames!

"That's right, it's Tom. Hanks. ”

Beira. Marceau will be the first son from Steven. Spielberg pulled back.

"Is it really him? Oh, what a fortune! (To be continued.) )
