"Martin, give me an accurate answer. What do you think of"Kingdom of Heaven"?"
After pulling Martin into the corner, Tom Cruise immediately asked straight to the point.
"Is there any point in asking this now? Tom, haven’t you finished filming?"Martin was a little strange.
Tom Cruise said:"Don't worry about it, I just want to know your opinion. Martin thought for a moment and said,"My opinion remains the same. The script of"Kingdom of Heaven" is terrible, and the box office of this film will not be high!" Tom
Cruise frowned and said,"But I've seen this script with several script doctors, and they all said it's pretty good.""
"Script doctor? Martin smiled,"How could those people offend William Monahan? This is the vice president of the Writers Guild!""
Fuck!
Tom Cruise cursed secretly, why didn't he think of this?
Then he said without giving up:"But a famous director like Ridley Scott also thinks the script is good, otherwise he wouldn't take it. This film. Martin shook his head and said:"Tom, you should know that there is another classification of movies, called director's movies and audience movies, which focus on the director's self-expression." A cinematic experience that focuses on the audience"
"The script of"Heavenly Kingdom" is obviously in line with the director's approach to making movies. There are so many clues, so many intersecting plots, and an extremely huge background, which is perfect for the director's use."
"No disrespect to director Ridley Scott, but he loves scripts when making movies. When he encounters a good commercial script, he can make a blockbuster movie; when he encounters an artistic script, he can make an award-winning movie; Encountering such a messy script that allowed him to express himself freely……"
"What kind of movies do you think he can make?"
Martin's words made Tom Cruise don't know how to refute.
He originally wanted to find out from Martin what was wrong with his evaluation of"Kingdom of Heaven" in order to give himself some confidence.
But now he found that he seemed to I'm almost convinced by Martin!
And - he himself has seen the finished film. It's really... very slow, and the plot is very poorly connected in many places!
It is said that the version cut by director Ridley Scott has 19 More than ten minutes, it was compressed to two hours, and many places were cut incoherently.
Tom Cruise left with regret.
Why did his brain get so hot in the first place?
At this time, he began to miss Parker. Silly, at least this woman dares to refute herself when she is hot-headed, unlike Brian Kyle, a fool who has no opinion at all.
Brian Kyle:"……"
Of course, Tom Cruise still has some expectations.
What if the audience likes it? It’s not impossible!
In the history of Hollywood, there have been many films that were looked down upon by professionals but were box office hits - such as"Star Wars" and"Independence Day".
But he ignored that both of them were commercial blockbusters."Star Wars" even ushered in the era of the big movie industry. How could"Kingdom of Heaven" be comparable? ?
With a tangled mood, Tom Cruise followed the crowd to the movie screening hall.
The movie is about to start!
Drew was still talking quietly to Martin,"Martin, it seems that you are very optimistic about this movie?"
"Of course, Director Nolan has brought commercial movies into another field. This is a commercial movie that is completely different from ordinary popcorn movies. I think Nolan’s production concept is at least five years ahead of ordinary commercial popcorn movies in Hollywood. Martin whispered.
Drew took a breath,"You actually think so highly of this Christopher Nolan?""
She stopped talking, but she was thinking about how to convince Christopher Nolan to make a few movies for Meyers Pictures.
Martin stopped talking and looked at the big screen quietly.
The theater was"buzzing" The voices of discussion slowly died down. As fans and media sat down and waited to watch the movie, the lights began to go out one by one. The celebrities who were invited also focused on the upcoming movie.
When After the theater was completely dark, a beam of colorful light shot down from high behind the auditorium. The first title animation that appeared was always the historical icon of Warner Bros. Below it was a row of old-fashioned studio icons. Above the house is a classic WB logo in the form of a shield, as well as eternal piano background music.
The theater suddenly became very quiet, and hundreds of people focused their attention on the huge curtain in front of them at the same time.
For a few seconds The animation shot flashed by, and the big screen suddenly went black. With two loud"bang bang" sounds, two huge DC letters with metallic luster hit the big screen.
Then, there were two lines with deep meaning. Dark letters.
It read:"Christopher Nolan!"
Below:"Written by Martin Meyers!"
The two lines of words are the same size, the same font, the same proportion, no difference.
Martin was stunned, he had never seen this at the preview meeting. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Obviously, Warner wants to Treating him as the focus of publicity, but does this seem to be disrespectful to director Nolan?
He looked at Nolan, who was separated from him by Drew.
The other party seemed to sense his gaze and looked over.
"Chris, I didn't know about this? Martin whispered.
Nolan smiled slightly and said:"Don't mind Martin, this is what I asked for. I think this will be beneficial to the promotion of the movie." Martin was stunned for a moment, said"Ah", then nodded and stopped talking.
He almost forgot that in the original timeline, this man was a marketing expert - he would come up with some gimmicks for movie promotion every time he filmed..For example, in the second part of the new Batman, the clown pressed the detonation button, but it did not explode. It exploded only the second time. Heath Ledger’s shocked reaction was not an act, but a real reaction. (Actually, this is the script)
For example After Heath Ledger died of taking drugs, it was also the man who made up the story. Heath Ledger was immersed in the role of the Joker and could not get out. He could only fall asleep peacefully by taking a lot of drugs, which eventually led to death.
There is also"Inception of Dreams" The non-stop spinning top at the end of"Space" was not included in the first version of the edit. It was also a marketing idea he came up with and was added later.
This man is not only a successful director, but also a successful producer. A master marketer!
《"Batman Begins" is Christopher Nolan's first mainstream commercial film, and for him, there is no room for error.
He mentioned his name in a position alongside him as a director. Firstly, he can create gimmicks, and secondly, he can attract his own fans...
Hiss~!
If you think about it this way, this guy really deserves it, and I have to thank him!
A master, indeed a master!!!
(Brothers, please take care of me, please give me some comments, flowers, collections, and rewards. Thank you. Work).
