Chapter 130: Bombshell!

Previous Chapter

Orsson. Wells is a human being, uninhibited, and must not treat this guy as an ordinary person. Hearing that his debut novel was about to usher in a series of blows, if it was someone else, it would probably be early, but Wells was not only not worried, but extremely excited.

"Tell me, come, tell me, what will I be scolded for?" Wells licked his lips and sat across from Victor.

Victor was almost speechless: "How do I know this?" ”

"How does it compare to you? I mean, compared to the bloody dog you were scolded last time? "Wells seems to be on a par with Victor in everything.

"Brother, is it fun to be scolded?" Victor said.

"That's quite enjoyable, seeing those dogs go crazy, what could be happier in the world?" Wells said: "I can be scolded as much as you did last time, and I am satisfied." ”

"Okay, okay, you have it." Victor nodded, and then said, "Actually, I'm also curious about how they scolded you." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The next day, Victor got up early and sat at the table waiting for the newspaper.

It is estimated that at this time, Wells is also anxiously waiting.

Soon, Baggins brought in the newspaper, and Victor was dumbfounded when he read it.

I was really scolded. And, Orsun. Wells scolded worse this time than when he was filming "No Country for Old Men".

At that time, although Victor was scolded for being bloody, at least there were some people in Hollywood, such as John. Ford, Kim. Victor and others supported themselves, but the "Hollywood Review" in front of them was almost full of critical articles. And one is more violent than the other. One scolded harder than the other.

Victor despite a hunch of Orsson. Wells will be scolded. But he had no idea that the criticism would be so strong.

In the history of cinema, "Citizen Kane" is called the greatest film entirely because it served as a watershed moment that split Hollywood in two, completely destroyed the traditional Hollywood film model, and fully established the narrative mode of modern cinema, which was its greatness, but in the 1940s. Wells's methods are obviously too trendy for many people to accept.

Look at what Hollywood filmmakers have to say about it.

"Orson. Wells doesn't understand movies at all! Hollywood movies focus on emphasizing the objectification of the story, and there must be a basic objective story, but look at this "Citizen Kane", which not only has a strong subjectivity, but also mixes and reverses the narrative, completely violating the chronological order to arrange the plot! This kind of technique is simply mentally retarded! ”

……

"The beauty of the movie is that it has a closed ending after completing a complete story. A dusty final presentation, engraved in this film. The audience can't see the end at all, or rather, the conflict is not resolved at all! This completely violates the law of the conflict graph of movies! ”

……

"Characters have no character! Hollywood movie characters are typical, and they are the kind of people who should know their character and positioning as soon as they come on the stage! Look at the characters in this movie, chattering, completely no different from life! ”

……

"The camera is messy! Vague! The editing transformation is so fast that it's dazzling! This kind of movie is a reaper-style movie! completely disregards the audience's viewing feelings, and the emotions that the film has worked so hard to accumulate are often emasculated in such editing! Totally failing! ”

……

Among Hollywood filmmakers, like Chaplin, Xixi. It's okay if an old antique like Dimir can't get used to it, at least their time has passed, but the backbone of Hitchcock, Liu Beiqian, and Capra are also unanimously criticized, which makes Victor feel a little excessive.

Can't these people really understand what is in this?

It should be understandable.

So why is there such a slam in the face? Obviously, it's because the classic storytelling and that kind of tradition that Hollywood has built up for decades is too deep, deep enough to assimilate anyone! All new and creative experiments, there is no beginning in Hollywood that does not hit a wall!

Looking at these comments, Victor was furious.

Who are these people?

At this time, the phone rang.

It's Orsson. Wells.

The guy burst into laughter on the other end of the phone: "Victor, do you see that?" Haha, I'm satisfied! It's even worse than scolding you! Hahahaha! Good! Good! ”

"What's wrong with your head? I've scolded you like this, are you still happy? Victor said.

"Why not? As I said, there are very few people in Hollywood who understand movies, so why bother to meet these people. Wells said.

"Don't you want to say a few words for yourself?"

"My eggs hurt. Lao Tzu still has to go drinking. After the movie is made, it's not my business. They can do whatever they want, and they can say whatever they want. It has nothing to do with me. "Wells' temper is really tendony.

"You should bring your ideas and your movie view to light!" Victor said loudly.

"Forget it. I'm not good at that, I'm just a filmmaker, not a theorist. By the way, Victor, if you have time, please help me say a few words! Fire on these dogs! Wells said loudly.

"Bitch raised!" Victor cursed, then hung up.

"Baggins!" Victor shouted out the door.

Baggins came in and looked at Victor with an angry face, startled.

"Go tell Jean and Fred that the filming of "The Shawshank Redemption" has been handed over to them in the past few days! I'm not going. Victor said.

"Huh? Why? ”

"I'm going to write an article! Great article! By the way, you tell the editors of The Hollywood Review to leave me a space! If one full page isn't enough, then two editions! Victor said angrily.

Next, for two days and two nights, Victor did not close his eyes, and after completing an article of tens of thousands of words, he handed it over to the editor of the Hollywood Review.

On the second day, the article titled "What the hell is going on with Hollywood movies? ――On the Nature and Modernity of Cinema" was released, and as soon as this article was published, it was like a weight bomb, blowing Hollywood upside down!

In this 40,000-word movie, Victor criticized the so-called classic model developed by Hollywood for decades from six aspects: what is the nature of the film, montage and long shots, what is the essence of the movie, the characteristics of Hollywood films, the time to bury the past, and the modernity of the film.

As soon as this article came out, Hollywood went crazy! (To be continued......)
