Chapter 32: Big Guys Are Everywhere!

There are no big scenes in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", for Victor, two months is enough to finish filming, and it will be released in October, which is a normal thing, he doesn't understand that Gianny Grant Weishenme is so excited, and he will say that if he chooses to release it at that time, he will die a miserable death.

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€ Victor asked.

Jenny Grant sat down and said, "Because, that month, the movies released were all movies that you can't compare to!" Which month is definitely the time for the decisive battle of the major film companies! ”

"Huh?" Victor laughed, "What does this have to do with me. ”

Grant is right, from October to around Christmas, it is the most competitive period for American films, and during these two months, basically major studios will release their most important films of the year.

But in Victor's view, those things that are definitely big companies have little to do with such a small company as himself.

"It relates a lot!" Grant emphasized: "Do you know how many movies are coming out in October!? Do you know whose movie will be released in October!? ”

"Then I'd like to hear it." Victor Road.

Grant is the mayor of Hollywood, and the situation of Hollywood's major studios, especially the screening of new films, is probably clearer and more comprehensive than anyone knows.

"All of them are great characters! To put it simply, almost all of Hollywood's top productions this year are concentrated in October. Grant took a deep breath and seemed nervous for Victor.

"First of all, it's a movie "This is John" that Columbia has made this year. Directed by Frank Capra. ”

Grant's first words made Victor's brows twitch.

Frank Capra!?

The 1940s to the 1960s were the indisputable golden age and classic period of Hollywood, and in this era, countless actors and film masters emerged, Frank Capra is definitely the most dazzling!

This guy who was born in Italy, is known as "Hollywood's greatest Italian" in history, came to the United States at the age of 6, and became the most successful director in the classic Hollywood period with his own efforts, and is an outstanding representative of the "American Dream", shooting 53 films in one shot, and being nominated for the Oscar for Best Director 6 times, and winning three awards.

Miracles are the main themes of Capra's films, and his films tell the audience about various miracles: Shangri-La in the midst of war, the rich fall in love with the poor, and the unlucky people who have a dream come true overnight...... At all times, Capra has always maintained the praise of traditional American qualities such as loyalty, idealism and social responsibility, and it is because of his insistence on art and his unique genius that he has become one of the four directors of the classic period of Hollywood! Many of his films have become classics in the history of cinema.

This is a true master of cinema.

"This is John" is one of Frank Capra's classic works. This is a masterpiece.

Grant didn't look much at Victor's expression, and continued: "The second part is Kim Victor's "Northwest Passage", Paramount invested $8 million for this movie and used almost all its stars. ”

Victor nodded.

Kim Victor, one of Hollywood's older directors, is known as a gem of Hollywood, as early as 1915, Kim Victor came to Hollywood to work, and Thomas Ings, Griffiths and other film masters co-made films, historically, he and Hitchcock are known as rare narrative tension masters. As a director, the most rare thing about Kim Vidor is that he is always accustomed to paying attention to society with a humanitarian gaze, has his own unique pursuit, and he is good at grasping the audience's psychology from the narrative aspect.

This movie, I'm afraid, should not be underestimated.

Grant continued: "The third part was Alfred Hitchcock's The Overseas Correspondent, which Warner Bros. Pictures had been planning for a whole year and saw as a big production. ”

Hitchcock!? This name, which is known to everyone in later generations, how can Victor not be moved.

Hitchcock is famous for his ability to shoot thriller movies, and is one of the few people in Hollywood who can be called a master master in film art, and for many people, the name "Hitchcock" is no longer just a name, but represents the spirit of a cinematic technique, and has become synonymous with suspense and thriller.

Alfred Hitchcock has come to the United States in 1920 to study filmmaking at Laski Film Company, at that time, he was just a low-level jishu personnel, in 1922, under the American director Morris, began to direct films, after many years, the master of the art between the United States Hollywood and the United Kingdom, shot and many films, have achieved certain results.

In 1935, Hitchcock learned about "Thirty-Nine Steps", which officially attracted widespread attention and became a director of Shijie films.

Hitchcock's talent, his kind of genius in thriller films, intrigued Warner Bros. Pictures, which, in fact, has always dominated Hollywood by producing such films.

So it was only natural that Hitchcock and Warner Bros. were united.

Compared to Kim Vidor and Frank Capra, the film maestro clearly made Victor tremble.

By this time, Victor had a deep understanding that Grant Weishenme would not let his film be released in October.

But Jenny Grant didn't mean to stop at all.

"The fourth part is Lianmei." Grant took a sip of his coffee.

"Chaplin's?" Victor blurted out.

"Looks like you know." Grant laughed: "Our great artist Mr. Chaplin has painstakingly produced a masterpiece called The Great Dictator." ”

Oh, God. Victor's head began to sweat.

Unlike other film companies, Luen Mei is an outlier among all Hollywood companies.

For example, companies like MGM and Paramount, from the very beginning, were highly unified organizations and centralized power for the greatest purpose of making profits, and compared with ordinary enterprises, they only produced movies instead of cars.

But Luen Mei is different.

In Hollywood, Luen Mei should be one of the first film companies to be established. In 1919, Chaplin, Van Punk, and Beck Griffith set up this company by themselves, and the purpose at that time was to get rid of the shackles and exploitation of big film companies and shoot the movies they wanted to make, which determined the two unique characteristics of Lianmei from the beginning.

First, the films produced by this film company have an extremely obvious personal style and are extremely artistic pursuits, and second, this film company is not highly uniform, on the contrary, it is loosely organized, and internal discord is a common thing.

It is precisely because of these two characteristics that, on the one hand, it has been determined that the films produced by Luen Mei have been artistically recognized by many people for decades, but in these decades, the development of Luen Mei is far less than that of other film companies.

With the development of the movie, Griffith was abandoned, Van Punk and others were gradually forgotten, only Chaplin, who always insisted on being on the front line of the United States.

Hollywood people don't say anything about Chaplin's movies, but for Chaplin himself, there is no good reputation.

Chaplin in the movie and Chaplin in real life are completely two people. Many things have been done so filthy that they can't be put on the table.

In the history of Shijie films, Charlie Chaplin is the memory of modern comedy films, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to call him the father of comedy films, on the screen he created countless people to move the role, and his contribution to the film is undisputed, but judging from Chaplin himself's actions, this guy is not a fair and honest person. So Grant mentioned Chaplin in a very flirtatious tone.

"The Great Dictator." Victor muttered the name, his head aching.

Where is this decisive battle, it's just a big guy everywhere!
