Chapter 64: Quentin
Wendi Deng's attitude towards him is quite enthusiastic...
I also asked about the "Human Eradication Plan", and the words were 'why don't you look for her'...
Shen Xudong wanted to reply, 'I don't even know you!' β
After thinking about it, he said: "To make a horror movie, you must find Liongate, they have experience." β
"The news media can also distribute horror films..."
Shen Xudong shook his head: "The news media is too big, a project is reviewed left and right, I found Michael Burns in May, chatted with him, and it was decided at that time, and after filming in 20 days, it will be released in September..."
"Then I heard about the sequel..."
Shen Xudong interrupted her: "We are copyright sharing. β
Wendi Deng probably knew Shen Xudong's attitude, smiled, and stopped talking...
It is clear that Shen Xudong is not interested in the 'high-end social circle' in North America.
What a fart?
Wendi Deng befriended Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, and what he valued was their fame...
Thinking of using their fame to make things happen.
Let's be honest, this woman really doesn't have any vision!
After marrying Mercado, all her investments in the mainland failed, bringing MySpace to a collapse, and the movies she invested in were very bad at the box office and reputation, and even made many low-level mistakes in fighting for property.
Married to a top tycoon for 14 years, he didn't even do the charity of the plus.
I really don't understand, such a woman, what is there to brag about?
β¦β¦
"The promotion of 'Carol' is the 'most beautiful love movie of the year'... 8 theaters screened, with an average single theater score of nearly $60,000, the first in the year.
Both the box office and word-of-mouth show long-term possibilities. Under the careful escort of Weinstein, the classical and retro lesbian film is expected to become a dark horse at the last moment, impacting 10 Oscar awards including Best Picture, Director and Actress. β
So far, the predominantly white heterosexual Oscar jury has never won a gay film the Best Picture award, which is why Weinstein, who is known for his strong canvassing, chose slow marketing this time: too fast and too aggressive publicity is incompatible with the quiet temperament of this art film, and it is easy to attract the disgust of conservative audiences.
"Carol" will not add too many screens in the next month, and the real large-scale release in the United States will not be until the end of December;
With the nomination ballots sent out on December 26, this strategy of concentrating on the second half of the campaign is clearly reasonable.
Here are also the possible nominations for "Carol": Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and the following possible nominations for "Carol": Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Score.
I won't go into detail for the limited time, but it is worth mentioning the best soundtrack - it must be said here that if Gong Li is nominated for an Oscar, she will be the first Asian actor to be nominated for an Oscar! β
Well, these are all reports on "Carol" by domestic portals.
There are also reports in North America, after all, Weinstein Pictures is responsible for distribution, and "The New York Times", "The Hollywood Reporter", "Vanity Fair" are all praised...
On the contrary, they did not have a high praise for "Infernal Affairs", and even directly said 'not as good as the Hong Kong version'...
Shen Xudong... He didn't return home, he didn't promote "Carol", and he was involved with Quentin for the next few days.
β¦β¦
Quentin is very fond of B-movies.
All of his films are learned from videotapes...
After "Vulgar", Quentin handed over a perfunctory work - "Dangerous Liaisons".
As of now, "Dangerous Liaisons" can be called the worst movie of Quentin's career, and even "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is not as good, no surprises, no surprises, bland, and mediocre.
Faced with the dissatisfaction of the audience, Quentin once again fed the audience's discerning appetite with the "Kill Bill" series.
"Kill Bill" is actually a cool movie!
Don't overthink the review, play with infinite plasma and the revenge of non-stop killing, and let the popular B-movies of the sixties and seventies of the last century reappear.
If you don't engage in the plot of Our Lady and persuade people to be good, if you make a mistake, you should pay the corresponding price, and in a place outside the law, you should fight violence with violence.
As for the later "King Kong is not bad", it is not so much that Quentin is making a movie, but that Quentin made a video of his addiction in the name of making a movie.
chatter, foot fetish, and even his own cameo role survived in the film, and the actress sat on his lap.
In addition to directing, he supervised and produced B-grade films, and he had a good relationship with Robert Rodriguez, co-producing "Horror Planet", "Human Skin Inn" and "Crime City"...
In fact, in other words, it is the mass production of vulgar films.
In a sense, Shen Xudong feels that he is not too talented as a director, fortunately he was born in the United States, and the mainstream groups of moviegoers around the world basically worship American film and television works, the normal process is to look at the quality first, and then judge the quality, but Quentin is not, many people evaluate him for his unique aesthetics!
Even if it's a plagiarized shot, it's a tribute...
It's entertaining, but that's about it.
But he's a very interesting person, he likes Shen Xudong's "Human Removal Plan" very much...
The two chatted briefly, not to mention that they hit it off at first sight, at least they hit it off.
Both of them like Shaw Brothers' martial arts movies very much, and they both have a bit of a foot fetish, but Shen Xudong is not so obvious.
On this day, Quentin pulled Robert Rodriguez and Harvey, and the four of them discussed "The Torture Chamber", "Scimitar Killing" and "Seeing the Devil"...
Oh, "Seeing the Devil" is Shen Xudong's proposal.
"Seeing the Devil" is a hardcore version of the cat-and-mouse game - the police caught the psychopathic killer who killed his fiancΓ©e, did not arrest him directly, but released him, tortured him little by little, and finally killed him...
They were all interested in "Seeing the Devil": "Do you want to direct it yourself?" β
ββ¦ I'll be a producer..."
"Then the two of us will have one for each of us, and you can hurry up and shoot "Seeing the Devil", and the three will be released together..."
Shen Xudong nodded, and then asked Quentin: "What about the actors?" Do you have any recommendations? β
"What do you want?"
"It's better to have some popularity."
Quentin suddenly asked him, "Do you want to send the script to Leonardo... I think he should be interested! β
Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's impossible, this is an R-rated film, there is no depth... Everyone knows that Leonardo has been busy rushing to the Olympics lately..."
Harvey interjected: "Give it a try, it won't bother anyway!" β
ββ¦ Then I'll try,"
Shen Xudong nodded and asked Harvey tightly: "How is the PR of "Carol" going?" β
"It's not a big problem, this year is a small year..."
