Of course, everything Roland was thinking would not have come up after all, and how could Metacritic's act of removing 6,400 negative reviews overnight and raising the score of "Islander Express" from 5.1 to 7.4 happen at the premiere?

For these guys with rich experience, Spielberg's "Captain Hook" is the orthodox sequel to "Peter Pan", because the growth of fairy tale characters is a refreshing concept.

It is a concept that can make the old guys on the scene empathize.

"Captain Hook" is about Peter Pan, who will never grow up, returns to the human world, has a child, he will be carefree and tired of everything in real life, and the pressure of the world has turned him into a cold adult, with only the habitual thinking of 'everything is material' in his head.

And the arrival of Captain Hook kidnapped his two children, and under the pull of the little fairy, Peter Pan, who had a beer belly, returned to Nevermore Island, and was forced by the other party to save his own children.

He was not young, brave, energetic, or happy, and even when he returned to his base camp, the familiar children would not recognize him, and even thought that the greasy old man in front of him was a pirate.

Just when everyone was rejecting him, a little black boy suddenly walked out of the group.

Touching his face, he said with a look of surprise: "It turned out to be you".

After being identified again, Peter Pan, who has grown up, is able to stay behind and find a way to defeat Captain Hook.

When he was training, the innocence that was lost because he grew up, and the imagination that he lost due to excessive social experience, were also regained one by one, and when he recalled the feeling of being a father at the beginning, the joy, satisfaction and happiness allowed him to regain the ability of the year.

Yes, in James Barry's "Peter Pan", Peter Pan, who never grows up, pursues eternal childhood, supreme and pure childlike innocence, and that kind of beauty and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the adult world.

But people have to grow up after all, although childhood is beautiful, but can not be retained, from childhood to adulthood, human beings will not only lose their innocence, but also their own personality will be suppressed, human nature will also be distorted because of the noise of the outside world, at this time, Spielberg proposed an alternative method, spiritual comfort, is the child, in his opinion, to grow up with his own children, is in the flashy world, the best way to find the beauty of the year, but also to pick up the childlike innocence, the best means to recall the past.

Never forget your inner child.

As a fairy tale movie for adults, Spielberg just wants to tell the world about his love for children.

And this kind of love can only be experienced by adults, because of the helplessness of social life, but for the sake of the better growth of children have to continue to move forward, is the real blow to the tears of adults.

Because of this, when the film screening ended, the scene immediately burst into warm applause.

Why?

Because these guys can all see it!

Unlike the young generation of Hollywood, who were born in the seventies and eighties and were deeply shadowed by their parents, these old guys present only relied on their own hands to get to where they are now!

Canglong in the film industry, the old man Dongmu who starred in the movie has entered the top ten at the North American box office for more than 20 consecutive years, and no one can break the record, but the "Dart Trilogy" that made him famous: "Red Dead Redemption", "Twilight Double Dart", "Golden Three Dart", is actually a movie in the European film industry, because Hollywood Studios at that time did not want to shoot Westerns, and Eastwood, who had no films to make because of image problems, picked up a series that was not favored by everyone, and then it became popular.

This kind of life experience of stepping into the circle with dreams, being excluded and disliked, and finally running to success is not the true portrayal of the adult Peter Pan in the movie?

The western he insists on now is the child of Peter Pan in "Captain Hook", as Roland said before, it will be released next year, and the last western he filmed "Unforgiven" is actually the same as expressed in "Captain Hook", at the end of the decline of Westerns, he misses his high-spirited self back then.

In this case, will he still not be able to read the movie?

The same is true for Tom Hanks, his parents divorced when he was six years old, and his childhood life was to watch and act, but because of his appearance, he never played the main supporting role, if it weren't for Ron Howard's finalization of him as the starring role in "The Mermaid", even he didn't know how long he could last, for him, Howard was the Peter Pan in his life, so much so that every time Howard gave him a book, he would directly participate.

In this case, will he still not be able to read the movie?

Although this kind of directional viewing threshold will greatly affect the box office and word-of-mouth of the whole movie, because the vast majority of audiences walk into the theater just to be cool, "Star Wars" can make people happy, so it is a big hit at the box office, but compared with Quentin's kind of movie that requires a lot of event reserves to understand, "Captain Hook" is already much better.

You don't need to understand what happened in Hollywood in the sixties.

Because you can find yourself in the movies.

In this way, at the reception after the film screening, people only talk about the success of the story.

"It is indeed a very good breakthrough to find the feeling of happiness through father's love and recall the good memories of childhood."

"Wendy's old age and Tinker Bell's loneliness are the helplessness of adults, Peter Pan loves his wife, loves his children, he has to have a choice, he has to give up, and this pain, is something that all adults experience."

"The real problem for adults is not to grow up but to forget; All adults are children, as long as you have not forgotten; It's impossible to forget what happened, it's just that I can't remember it for the time being. This is an excellent family fairy tale, and although there may be a lot of children who can't understand it, I believe that the adults who walk into the theater with them will tell their children why they love this movie...... Because this is not a brain-burning suspense movie, adults can understand it, and they can also communicate well with their children through this movie. ”

To tell the truth, maybe it's because Spielberg didn't make it public that the children's scenes were filmed by Roland, so more than ninety percent of the praise on the scene has nothing to do with Roland, but-

Roland, who thought that this movie would suffer bad reviews, suddenly understood how 'stupid' his previous thoughts were after hearing those beautiful words that hit the root of the matter-

Children may not be able to read "Captain Hook"?

That's right! Ashley and Mary are the best examples!

But what?

Their parents can understand it!

The so-called family movie, isn't it just that after watching the movie, can the family have a topic of communication?

Just like "Home Alone", after watching this movie, children will ask their parents, will everything that happened to Kevin in the movie be fulfilled in their own way? Do those terrible bad guys really exist?

These topics may sound naïve, but they are a bridge between children and parents.

As long as children and parents will have one or more arguments after watching the movie, then the movie is a success!

Ideas, intentions, and skills are all secondary things.

The root of family movies is to create a topic for families who can't find good chat topics on weekdays!

It doesn't matter if the child understands it and shares it with the adult; Or after the adult understands, explain it to the child; Both channels, no problem! And as long as you do that, the movie you make is meaningful!

In this way, when Roland stepped on the time, took Niederham and Spielberg to meet, and after hugging and signing a group photo, and said what was in his heart, Spielberg, who was still full of entertainment, immediately laughed and patted Roland's shoulder, and said very approvingly: "Oh...... The fundamental selling point of various types of movies, I was trying to teach you when I was filming "Jurassic", but I didn't expect you to figure it out now? ”

"That's right, the reason why family movies were born is to create a topic of conversation for those family members."

"You don't have to care whether it's a child or an adult, you don't need to please everyone, you just need to let a type of person understand your movie, then this movie has a great probability of having a market ......"

"You don't need to think about perfecting every aspect of the film, you just need to zoom in on the biggest highlights of the script."

"The audience can accept a certain amount of logical loopholes, but the premise is that when you write the script, when you are filming, you have to understand which part of the audience of the whole story is, and whether you can move them when you write and shoot."

"The reason why I think the deleted and revised version of "Jurassic" you wrote before is okay, is because you know what the audience of that movie wants to see, people want to watch dinosaurs, then in this movie, dinosaurs are the protagonists, whether it's you, your sister, or other human characters, it's all ingredients, only by grasping this, can the script start writing, of course, even if the target group is clear, we still have to pay attention to one problem, that is, the number ......"

"If the number is too small, if you can't shoot it, you won't shoot it."

"Although whether the movie can succeed or not, it will eventually bring luck, but a movie with a small audience needs more luck than a movie with a larger audience, and if a movie with an investment of 100 million is ruined, there will be a box office of several hundred million, because the investor will find a way to return to the cost, and the public will still know you, and if the movie of 10 million is ruined, then who knows you?"

Although Spielberg's words were full of copper, Roland had to admit that he was right.

As Ba Jin wrote in "The Sun", "A cold and lonely life is not as good as a vigorous death." ’

How many actors and directors have relied on blockbusters to get into the public eye?

And how many guys are there who rely on a blockbuster movie and eat to death?

If you have the opportunity to take 100 million, you will definitely not take 80 million!

Just like Cameron's "Big Boat" and "Avatar", when so much money is burned, which investor dares to hide the movie head-on? Even if the critics have a bad reputation, they have to promote the movie like crazy.

This is not a question of whether there is a dream at all, but only by dying vigorously can we get back more capital!

You must know that in the absence of "Super 9" Johnson and Guo Da, Paul Walker's younger brother was invited back, and they can do this kind of behavior of saving (money) in Wok (earning) gram (death) and forever (people) saving (money), and get back the capital, what is it?

…………

For Roland, although he participated in the movie "Captain Hook", the spotlight was destined not to shine for him.

After all, there are too many bigwigs in front.

Unless Spielberg is willing to put a position as an assistant director on the poster, otherwise, even if Sony vigorously promotes it, the guys who pay attention to him will be very few......

However, if he can't hang up, he is now famous enough, if he adds the concept of 'omnipotence', it is really a killing, before he is proficient in mastering various skills, only giving him the identity of an actor is actually protecting him.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Before you can really take charge of yourself, you don't need to tell your fans what you're learning.

He is not without exposure, so why bother to add a 'scholar' character who is easy to recruit black?

I don't know about Dr. Zhai, the architecture master Jiang Photography has been stripped away.

Since the road is wrong, there is no need to go.

…………

Because there were too many celebrities present at the premiere, Roland couldn't sneak out of the scene with the director like the previous "Terminator 2" and sit down in the private room next to him to rest, so the social time was actually delayed very late.

But fortunately, the guys that night were actually quite easy to talk to, and there was no situation of raising a wine glass and not entering the room, and the topic of dealing with Roland was limited to the surroundings itself, and after no one asked him "What do you think of MJ's MV", "Do you have confidence in "Home Alone 2", "Does "Terminator 2" make you different', Roland's social relationship is still very satisfied with the social relationship he faces.

But even if you are satisfied, you can't change the fact that you are stuck beyond the rest time.

By the time Roland reached the house, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

After taking a bath, he rolled into bed, and when he woke up again, there was a pink color in front of him.

"Roland, hurry up, you said you were going to accompany us to see Beauty and the Beast today!"

"Your movie is going to be made in five months! If you don't accompany us now, then the next time we meet will be in May next year! ”

Although everyone was very sleepy when they came out last night, what about children...... In the case of thoughts, they are enough to resist physical fatigue, like an all-night stay in an Internet café, which is exclusive to young people.

Urged by Ashley and Mary to get up, he rubbed his face and glanced at the time.

The striking ten o'clock made Roland yawn.

Although he really wanted to sleep for a while, if he didn't do what he promised, wouldn't it set a bad example for Ashley and them?

endured the sleepiness, drank a glass of vegetable juice, and when he went out, the faces of the three little dots around him were full of excitement.

Is it because you can go to see your favorite movie?

Nope-

It's because they can see what they like.

Disney's princess movies never want depth or substance, because their audience wants to see a beautiful woman in a fantasy princess dress and a handsome guy in a palatial castle falling in love.

Beauty is over, what logic do you want?

If you can make money in the easiest way, you don't need to add a snake to make new things into it!

When Elizabeth, who was sitting on Roland's lap, stared at the screen with wide eyes, looking at the fluffy, tailed, one-handed beast that could hold up the girl, and most importantly, Princess Belle could still rub on the clawed flesh pad, Roland knew that it was not as simple as buying them a princess dress later.

If they didn't get three two-meter furry beast toys, how could they let themselves go?
