Chapter 1172: Two Jujube Trees

"It's not a film for everyone, you have to have a certain appreciation to get to the point, and it's not popular for the North American film market, and we have to say that Jimmy Lee made a failed attempt after being confused by the name of 'big director'." Early the next morning, the entertainment section of the Boston Post published a film review of "Gravity", and what was surprising was that they actually criticized Li Jingming this time.

Li Jingming is a South Korean, and now he mostly lives in Los Angeles even if he goes to the United States, but he is often called the son of Boston or Mr. Massachusetts because of his educational background.

"It's not obscure, but it's not straightforward enough to be popular in other regions, but audiences in the U.S. won't accept that pace." "The New York Times" sang against Li Jingming as always, they are the main force of the black Li Jingming, now I can't stand the pressure of watching the "Boston Post", from the editor-in-chief to the reporter seem to be in a good mood, the editor-in-chief still has a little regret in his heart, I was afraid that offending Li Jingming would be hit from other levels, what they wrote was a little too tactful, now look at the front of others charging forward, I just hate that I didn't be ruthless last night.

"Film reviews are very particular about writing, how do I think these people are messing around, did you ask someone else to help?" Bright. Meyer read the morning newspaper and gave it to Stephen. Spielberg made a phone call, thinking that it might have been arranged by the other side, because he hadn't ordered it himself. has been in the film industry for so many years, even if he has not done directly related work just to manage money and investment, Lang. Meyer's professional sense is not comparable to that of ordinary directors and actors, and he is very happy to read in today's newspaper. But it's weird everywhere.

"Of course these people are messing around, because we're out of luck." Spielberg didn't even eat breakfast in the morning, just because he was angry with Li Jingming's poisonous plan, how could he not see Li Jingming's purpose, he couldn't see it before, it seemed that because the old guys and brothers praised him, he was fluttering, and now Li Jingming has been exhausted, and if he can't see it, his career will be ruined.

"What do you mean by that?" Bright. Meyer heard Spielberg say this, and he panicked for no reason, he just felt that something was wrong before. But Spielberg, the great director, said that they were going to be unlucky, obviously Li Jingming made some tricks that he couldn't see.

"Tomorrow's newspaper is absolutely different from today's, and there will definitely be a big discussion among the whole people, a big discussion that will roast us on the fire." Spielberg rubbed his face with his hand, and at this time he was quite helpless, because he had picked the wrong opponent, he had already crippled himself. The reason why Spielberg wanted to step on Li Jingming before was just to brush up on his sense of existence and let people know that he was not old and promoted the movie by the way. And if you want to step on it, you have to step on something outstanding to have a topic, Li Jingming has always been pro-China, and on the contrary, he picked Li Jingming to start. As a result, he realized that he was wrong at this time, because he was not stepping on a stepping stone, but a mountain of knives.

Spielberg's guess was not wrong, and Li Jingming's back hand exploded quickly. The atmosphere in the entertainment industry does not seem to have changed much, but in the major news media, including the newspaper industry but not limited to the newspaper industry, experts, scholars and social celebrities have launched a big discussion about whether Americans have the ability to appreciate literature and comedy.

"It's not cool to say that Americans don't have the ability to appreciate art. Although the history of the United States is very short, there are many people who have left their names in the history of world literature, and the education in the United States is the most advanced in the world, and there are absolutely no obstacles to appreciation. The words of the professor of the USC College of Liberal Arts are still very authoritative, and the American audience, who had been despised before, applauded, thinking that this is a cultural person.

"Some people are always self-righteous, thinking that they are engaged in related industries, and they are better than ordinary people, but in fact, there is no shortage of poets, writers, and masters among ordinary people." This is a counter-ridicule of those editors and film critics, and the social activist's message board under the portal site has some comments such as "It's just, what are they, Lao Tzu's car repair shop earns them a month to type and type for a lifetime".

Li Jingming has been here for so many years, and of course he knows that Americans do not have much appreciation, and they are too conformist. Faulkner's different circumstances in the first half of his life can be seen. William. When Faulkner first started, he ran into walls everywhere, and he could criticize what he wrote as worthless if he came out casually, and when he mixed it up, the literary world simply treated him as a god, and he had to praise him for signing his name on a piece of paper, "Mr. is a good writer!" "As for the Celestial Empire" "Weeds. In "Autumn Night", the sentence "In my back garden, you can see two trees outside the wall, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree" shows what kind of mood the author is in and how he behaves, please try to comment". The Americans would never be able to answer, at most the people applauded and applauded, or guessed which of the two jujube trees was the incarnation of Mr. Tree Man.

It's the same after the art form of movies came out, originally Nolan's movies were not watched by anyone, but later Nolan found a water army to engage in viral marketing, pretending to be a fan and saying everywhere, "Nolan's movies are too hanging, you scum with insufficient IQ balance are absolutely incomprehensible, don't waste money to buy movie tickets, it's not to buy two hot dogs to get affordable, what is an open ending, understand?" "Even if you are really stupid, who is not happy to hear others call you stupid, who can admit that you have a low IQ? Americans (not limited to Americans) were provoked by this low-level to childish agitation, and they paid for tickets to watch "Inception", and then wrote close-ups on blogs and Facebook, asking others to admit that he really understood.

In terms of the low-threshold creative form and the mode of operation for profit, film has a great conflict with the original traditional art, so it has always been called the "eighth art" to distinguish it, and this conflict is reflected in its dependence on the public. The original art is more inclined to collect, whether it is calligraphy and painting or carving, most of them are put away, and the exhibition is often only for "people who know how to appreciate". It is always the top of society who can really enjoy the word art, they don't need and disdain to let the common people understand, but movies are different, the tone of the movie can't be set too high, and you can't think about it.

"Inception" is said to be brain-burning, in fact, as long as you have the natural science knowledge of the third grade of primary school and the logical thinking ability of normal people, you can understand it, the so-called brain-burning is just a propaganda gimmick, if you really make a movie that people can't understand, it will become like "Ulysses", everyone says that they know how to hang, but few can watch it. As far as film history is concerned, this is not without precedent, "Mulholland Drive" and "Demon Night Panic" are real brain-burning movies, and now when it comes out, I'm afraid not many people even know the name.

The viral marketing of "Inception" was a failure, winning the box office and word of mouth, but beating Nolan to the point that he could never turn over, and as long as he still made "Nolan-style movies", he would not get comfort from the major award ceremonies, just like the previous fiasco of "Citizen Kane". Li Jingming's starting point is set higher than Nolan's, he did not dwell on IQ, which is more dependent on the innate string, but concentrated on attacking "connoisseurship", which is linked to the entire education chain and social atmosphere, so that the whole United States has no way to retreat.

"Looking at today's box office, do you need me to say more?" Li Jingming dusted off the report in his hand, which clearly showed the box office results of the first week of "Gravity", 110 million US dollars, a figure that many so-called Hollywood blockbusters did not reach at the total box office.

"You have to be scared, when I see you, you become the target of the public, who will help you." Kim Tae-hee finally came to Los Angeles, but she didn't go back to South Korea immediately, anyway, she was going to make a movie by herself, and there was nothing else important, so she simply played here, saying that she wanted to feel more of the charm of the movie city.

"It's really easy to become the target of public criticism, but I'm not without support here, it's a big deal to have a wave of fire, and both sides break their wrists." Li Jingming's arrow was shot at Spielberg, there were too many people standing on his side, and he couldn't tell who would fall on his head in the end.

Regardless of Clinton's influence, Spielberg made his fortune by relying on "humanistic feelings", but when he was old and dizzy, he came out of "War of the Worlds", did not make much money, and smashed his signboard. The old man was a little stubborn, and it was okay to admit his mistake at that time, he just said that he was right, and the fault was the North American market and the world, which basically could be interpreted as Americans should watch "blockbusters", and he, as the best director, naturally wanted to make blockbusters.

Li Jingming's trick was used, and Americans all said that the previous prejudice was caused by the indiscriminate propaganda of those directors, in fact, they didn't like to watch "Transformers" at all, and they didn't like to watch "Fast and Furious" at all. The territory of commercial films is so large that it can be said that it accounts for the vast majority of Hollywood's resources. Finch, Quentin. Tarantino, Martin. Scorsese, Stanley. Kubrick and others were not influential, they stood beside Li Jingming, and shouted "We are justice", and in just a few days, they made those who wiped their butts for purely commercial films disgraced.

"Looks like you've got it done here, how about it, are you ready?" Kim Tae-hee smiled charmingly.

"What preparation?" Lee Kyung-myung was immersed in the joy of making a lot of money, and he didn't react to what Kim Tae-hee meant.

"Oops, that's it." Kim Tae-hee licked his lips with his tongue and made a seductive expression. (To be continued.) )
