After a wonderful night's sleep, Lin Yuquan got up early the next morning, practiced boxing, followed by a simple wash, and then drove out to buy breakfast at a Chinese restaurant, including flower rolls, xiao long bao and soy milk.

When he returned to the villa, he sat on the sofa and read a few newspapers he bought by the way, mainly news reports on the entertainment page, and then searched for information on "Inglourious Basterds" and "Wishing Stone" on his mobile phone, and gradually understood the word-of-mouth evaluation of the two films.

Just looking at the appearance, I'm afraid no one can imagine Quentin who looks a little suspicious of acral hypertrophy in appearance. Tarantino is the leader of the cult film lovers all over the world to worship, but the facts have once again proved the correctness of the wise saying that people should not look good. Tarantino has an amazing talent for filmmaking.

Quentin. Tarantino does not have many works, except for a classic masterpiece "Pulp Fiction" that won the Cannes Palme d'Or 15 years ago, there are no box office super-grossing works, and naturally there are no ultra-high-cost films, but with his own unique violent aesthetics, non-linear narrative techniques, weird black humor, unexpected structure, and refreshing and neat image language, to this day, this ugly middle-aged man without any formal film education has become a kind of symbol in cult movies. A veritable ghost director, he occupies a pivotal position in today's world film industry.

Obviously, "Inglourious Basterds" is Quentin's masterpiece, with an IMDB score of 8.7, an audience favorite rating of 87% on Flixster, a freshness rating of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a Metacritic media score of 69 points.

Time praised Inglourious Basterds for rewriting World War II history, and Quentin. Tarantino may have played a joke on his fans again, when everyone thought Inglourious Basterds was a set of extremely Hollywood-style World War II war films, what they saw was one of the craziest and most impressive European films of the year; "Variety" praised "Inglourious Basterds" for proving once again Quentin. Tarantino is an incomparable genius director, who thinks for any true cinephile. Especially for cult film fans, "Inglourious Basterds" is irresistible and worth watching; The Chicago Sun-Times praised Inglourious Basterds as a bold war movie that would bore some people. It will also surprise others, which is exactly the most typical Quentin. Tarantino features

Let's talk about "The Wishing Stone", speaking of which, Robert. Rodriguez and Quentin. Tarantino has a lot of connections, and the two have co-directed two films, "Four Rooms" and "The Torture Room". Robert. Rodriguez's "Deus Ex Dawn" is directed by Quentin. Tarantino wrote and produced the screenplay, and not only that, Quentin. Tarantino successively studied in Robert. Rodriguez's "Murder Trilogy", "Dead Out of the Dawn", and "Fear Planet" have starred in Robert. Rodriguez served as Quentin. Original music for Tarantino's "Kill Bill 2", director of photography for "King Kong is not bad", original music, VFX supervisor.

Relatively speaking, "Wishing Stone" has received far less word-of-mouth reviews than "Inglourious Basterds", with an IMDB score of 7.2 points, a freshness score of 44% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a Metacritic media score of 52 points, which can be described as lagging behind in an all-round way, and "The Hollywood Reporter" praised the two young actors for completely stealing the other adult actors to become the core of the crazy plot. Sadly, this was not a successful work, and it is a testament to the fact that violence and killing are what it is Robert Brown. Rodriguez's forte.

Lin Yuquan had a smile on his face, "Inglourious Basterds" has such an excellent reputation, if he doesn't go to see how to do it, he has missed the leisure time of the past two days, and he can only buy a disc to watch at home.

I don't know if there will be a chance to cooperate once in the future, Lin Yuquan thought in his heart, Quentin. Tarantino's character is very unpleasant, very jerky and paranoid, and few directors can speak of plagiarism as openly as he does. The famous saying is, "Actually, I copy the dots here and there in every play, and then mix them together." If you don't like it, the audience can't watch it. I just plagiarize the bridges everywhere, great artists always have to steal bridges, they steal, not him. Damn salute. ”

But it is undeniable that he always makes movies very interesting and refreshing, if you are a fan of cult films. It's easy to fall in love with his films.

In general, the "Reservoir Dogs", "Pulp Fiction", and "Kill Bill" series are all works that he thinks are quite good.

Speaking of which, there is really a chance to cooperate, Quentin's movies are almost all invested by the Weinstein brothers, which stems from the original "Reservoir Dogs", "Reservoir Dogs" can be said to be the beginning of Quentin's real attention, after the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was well received, its copyright was bought by Miramax at a high price, and the film has not yet been released in theaters, and the Weinstein brothers, who appreciate Quentin's talent, made it clear that they will invest in Quentin's next film, with a budget of more than $5 million. Then there was "Pulp Fiction", which cost $8 million, which grossed $213 million worldwide, and while Quentin was paid a million dollars, he also won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Whether it is said to be a picture of gratitude, or the Weinstein brothers are good at winning people's hearts, the films after Quentin have always been invested by the Weinstein brothers, before Miramax, and now it is Weinstein Pictures.

The Weinstein brothers' vision and ability are very good, and the reason why there is an opportunity is not that Quentin will leave the Weinstein brothers, but because the Weinstein brothers have limited capital strength and cannot afford to take the risk of over-investing in films.

Therefore, out of insurance, if it is a high-cost movie, the Weinstein brothers will choose to cooperate with other film companies, and the $75 million investment of "Inglourious Basterds" is a collaboration with Universal Pictures.

And the production cost of Quentin's movies has almost gone all the way, which also means that the Weinstein brothers are likely to continue to choose to work with other studios on Quentin's new films, and Summit Entertainment can try to fight for it.

Just as Lin Yuquan was thinking about it, a footstep suddenly sounded, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and at the same time he got up and turned his head and said, "Have you slept well?" Let's have breakfast, there are flower rolls, xiaolongbao and soy milk. ”

After breakfast, the two of them did not stay at home, but took a helicopter to see the scenery in the air, and then went to Oakland, a city near Los Angeles, where they enjoyed a delicious and hearty meal at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, and then returned to Beverly Hills Villa after visiting several well-known attractions.

And after a simple wash, the two drove out non-stop, first had a delicious dinner, and then went to the cinema to watch "Inglourious Basterds".

Well, on the whole, "Inglourious Basterds" is indeed a movie that can make people watch, but after watching it, Lin Yuquan can't help but shake his head, the unique logo of Quentin's movies is the reason why he is highly regarded, but in a certain way, this also restricts his movies from being liked by some people, and it is difficult to get more people's likes.

"Boss, I just got the news that Audrey Niefanger's new book, Her Terrible Symmetry, is being contested by several publishers, do we need to join the fray?" Paul. Haggis's voice came from across the phone.

"I said, Paul, can you not call me when I have a little rest and relaxation? Besides, as the president, you can decide whether to compete for the copyright of the novel. Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, he was shopping with Yifei, and was going to buy some gifts to take back to China.

"Isn't that very expensive? Scribner has bid $3 million for the U.S. rights, and that's certainly not the final price. "Paul. Haggis sneered.

$3 million, not the final price, and only the copyright in the United States, Lin Yuquan frowned slightly, no wonder Paul. Haggis was going to call himself for instructions, and it was really not a price he could make a decision on lightly. (To be continued.) )

PS: Damn, I couldn't stay up to sleep last night.
