[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

Email from - James Cameron!

"Grant:

Unfortunately, by various coincidences, I saw your "Source Code" at Kingfisher Films, just like I saw your "Juno" at Kingfisher Films back then.

I have something to say to you, a junior, you'd better listen.

First of all, the main character you choose sucks.

Meg Ryan, her temperament can't support commercial films at all.

Bradley Cooper, his acting skills have not been honed by commercial films at all, it is too jerky.

Second, are you imitating Spielberg in your camera movement?

If you don't want to learn from that old man, and you can see that you are already very proficient in imitating him, then I am worried about your future!

The old man is really good at following the lens, pushing the lens, wide head, over-the-shoulder lens, and wide-angle lens, but they are only suitable for appearing in his movies, and it would be very abrupt if he departed from his film philosophy.

Finally, who did you learn this messy color chaos?Is it Wes Anderson, the guy who can make the audience colorblind?Or that Nakajima Tetsuya from Japan?

I'm telling you, don't do this damn bells and whistles, people who concentrate on making movies can easily be ruined by this kind of slanting style!

Another point is that although I have said so much above, you combined these messy things to make a movie that fascinated me.

I would like to say that the last time the director who made me so amazing was Quentin Tarantino.

Don't be proud, I definitely don't mean that you are already on the same level as him, he is a geek, a genius, and you are—barely considered a genius. "

The tyrant James Cameron's e-mail shows his tyrant's true colors...

With the mentality of respecting his predecessors, Joey diligently and tremblingly returned an email to him, but there was no reply.

However, she couldn't help but feel excited for a while. How many people in the world would be unhappy to receive such a compliment from James Cameron?

She didn't tell anyone about it, she just wanted to be happy in silence.

And "Source Code" has already been finalized, and it will be on November 28 this year.

Publicity work is already in full swing.

Kingfisher Pictures did not give much in terms of publicity budget, only 550 million yuan, but as a movie with a cost of 2000 million yuan, it is already quite a lot, which shows that Kingfisher still attaches great importance to it.

They set up a website with a small game imitating "Source Code", which is similar to saving the White House, and netizens can also choose their camp.

At the same time, there are also a lot of hard advertisements with the most direct effect. These are publicity methods that can directly arouse the interest of sci-fi fans.

Kingfisher Pictures considered that Joey did not have any box office appeal for sci-fi fans, so they focused their promotion on Meg Ryan and the plot itself.

During this period, Meg and Cooper trotted to countless film festivals for publicity. The consumption of each film festival was at least [-] US dollars. Her share is deducted.

Joey gritted his teeth, the businessman is too evil.

As for the media, except for some regular official media that publish formal propaganda, other small newspapers and magazines basically sing bad news all the way.

After all, Meg Ryan + Joey Grant, this combination is really puzzling.

The major media have also reported this incident one after another, but many film critics' opinions on this turned out to be, "Surprised!"

"Joy Grant chose to use 2000 million anemic capital to challenge hard sci-fi films this time, which is unprecedented in Hollywood, because Joey Grant is simply unprecedentedly stupid!"

"Cheap capital, a director with no experience in sci-fi films, an outdated cheating American sweetheart, did Joey Grant gain such experience from the success of "Juno"?"

Belika Jones, a film critic who once supported "Juno" very much, and one of the managers of IMDB, also expressed heartbroken, "This is really a girl who cannot be admired. Just after experiencing a success, her self-confidence swelled to this level. At this point, use extremely unreliable capital to challenge areas that you have never been involved in."

Basically, the media of all parties are singing the rhythm of bad news all the way.

The reason is Joey's poor popularity and sex, as well as her elusive film selection strategy.

After the success of "Juno", normal people should take advantage of the victory to pursue another success in literary films, but Joey turned around and made hard sci-fi movies that he had never been involved in, with an extremely low cost of 2000 million.

Can you see what was filmed?

Obviously can't see it!

The gossip given by the well-known Hollywood gossip blog site PerezHilton turned out to be, "According to the paparazzi's follow-up report, the investor of "Source Code" is Hughes Redstone, the ex-fiancé of Joey's favorite son."

The following film reviews are all about Black Joey. After all, the general public doesn't like women who eat soft food.

"No way, they are still entangled after breaking up? This Joey is really capable."

"So this unreliable movie was made because she reconnected with her ex-fiancé?"

"So from this point of view, wouldn't "Source Code" be even more unreliable!"

"This woman is so terrible, can't she rely on herself? When "Juno" was successful, she vowed to pursue her dream, and she is still the same now. It's really hypocritical."

It seems that as long as she has a relationship with the chaebol, the image of any woman will go down in the hearts of the masses.

Especially there is Meg Ryan, a cheating woman who is not liked by the masses.

Everyone's favorability for this "Source Code" is really low, but because of Meg Ryan, this movie has also attracted the attention of many people. Of course, they are more for watching Meg Ryan and Joe Yi's joke.

The box office forecasting company emaScore, which accurately predicted Joey's "Juno" before, has also become the focus of attention this time.

Because of emaScore's accurate prediction of "Juno" before, they have become a god-like box office forecasting company in people's minds, which can be regarded as borrowing the power of "Juno".

And now, emaScore boss Mintz and his son are faced with the difficult task of predicting "Source Code", and how many eyes are staring at him in Hollywood, and they must not make mistakes.

Although the movie has not yet begun to be released, their predictions generally have to wait for the movie to be released, but Mintz has clearly taken the "Source Code" prediction seriously.

When Mintz attended a movie premiere, he was surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he got out of the stretched black car. Obviously, they were very concerned about Mintz's opinion on "Source Code", after all, Mintz's opinion on "Juno "'s divine prediction made his box office forecasting business all over Hollywood.

Facing the same director now, what would he say?

Mintz said a few words cautiously, "Joy's accumulated fans in "Juno" did not contribute at all to her new movie "Source Code". I am also very puzzled about Joey Grant's choice this time, I don't think it is very wise."

The reporters immediately asked exaggeratedly: "Do you think her decision is stupid?"

Mintz was amused. "I didn't say that. I didn't say that the box office of this movie will be bad. I will naturally predict all this when it is released. It is futile to say anything now."

In fact, he also thought that Joey's choice this time was incomprehensible.At least it's different from normal people's logic, but from what he saw of her talent in "Juno", he thinks she might have her reasons.

Of course, what Mintz said will definitely be misinterpreted by the major media, and twisted into a headline that Mintz thinks Joey's decision is stupid. After all, the media relies on this kind of distortion to win the best.

The well-known host, Briatore, even publicly criticized Joey on his talk show, "When will this Asian female director, who is like a clown, stop her playful behavior? She has too many gimmicks. , Meg Ryan, 2000 million hard science fiction, the relationship with her ex-fiancé, etc., when will she stop hyping and make a movie with peace of mind. Has the success of "Juno" made her get carried away?"

Although Briatore's remarks were quickly attacked by ethnic minorities, especially Asians, they believed that his remarks contained racial discrimination against Asians and women.

Briatore also came out to clarify and apologize for his inappropriate remarks, but he still clung to Joey, "I still hope that some female directors can give up the idea of ​​hype and settle down to make a good work. Obviously he still has some skills, but he insists on becoming famous overnight through hype and gimmicks."

Joey naturally saw these messy news reports, and she would log in to major websites to check reports on "Source Code" every day.

Negative news has become commonplace, and malicious bad-mouthing has become commonplace.

Obviously, both she and Meg Ryan know that they, as the most talked about part of the movie, have completely entered the gamble.

Meg Ryan chose to gamble with her, at least she trusted Joey.

Although she hates people like Briatore, this kind of public figure who only knows to slander and accuse others with delusion without seeing the movie, she really wants to slap him twice. He clearly discriminates against female directors, discriminates against Minorities are not yet recognized.

But she chose silence.

The final film score will be the best voice to fight back against these people.

Despite the criticism from all parties, Joey continued to cooperate with Kingfisher in publicity.

She believes that, no matter what, truly excellent things will never be buried because of some protests and doubts. As long as she really makes a science fiction film that people think is excellent, the doubts about her will disappear sooner or later.

She knows that many people are questioning her, doubting her decision and ability.

Including Tom Cruise, who helped her before and seemed to appreciate her.

Joey knew in his heart that Tom Cruise didn't like her, he just didn't speak his mind out of politeness.

This still makes her sad, but she thinks it is understandable. After all, Tom Cruise doesn't know her well, and most people's reactions to her shooting "Source Code" are basically doubts.

However, what she didn't expect was that she actually received a call from Tom Cruise.

In other words, Tom Cruise saved her phone number!
