In 2020, a number of well-known media newspapers in Hollywood will be named "Nolan", the next "Spielberg".
Is Nolan really worthy of these honors?
Whether it's early follow, memory fragment, insomnia, or later Batman trilogy, fatal magic, inception, Star Trek, Dunkirk
After decades of working, all the films he made have been profitable.
Even in the eyes of many people, the box office data of the film creed, which is on the street at the box office, is far less than expected.
Over $200 million in production costs!
The production company lost money.
But in fact, the licensing of the surrounding industries of the film creed has already made a lot of money for the production company before the film was released.
This shows how strong the commercial attribute of Nolan film is.
Nolan has been in business for decades. Although he has never won any class a International Film Awards, for Hollywood film companies, he is simply a cash cow!
Movie industry's favorite
This is the best accolade Christopher Nolan has received from many film companies since 2010.
"Then the question is
"Before 2010, before Nolan, which film director in Hollywood was known as the favorite of the film industry?"
The answer is - Michael Bay!
In 1994, he directed his first film "Jedi men", which cost 8 million US dollars to produce and won 140 million US dollars at the global box office;
In 1996, he made his second film "brave island", which earned US $335 million at the box office worldwide;
In 1998, the science fiction action film "the Apocalypse" was released. The box office of the film reached 36.08 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America, and finally won 550 million US dollars in the world;
In just a few years, Michael Bay completed his gorgeous transformation in Hollywood and became one of the hottest directors in the 1990s. He was the most brilliant young director of that era!
The name of "the son of heaven" spread like wildfire.
He later created the "Transformers" series of films, which is the explosion of the world, completely engraved his name in the history of film.
But... Now?
Today, 2001, he is a little confused!
"The movie" Pearl Harbor "that I shot was supposed to blow up the whole world and make countless people sing praises for me. It's a box office sale, but you tell me... Its reputation is rotten!"
I don't want to accept this fact!
I don't want to believe it!
Man, you know, Michael Bay is the star of the movie industry today!
For a moment, Michael Bay, who has just finished his publicity campaign, has changed his face. The expression changes. It's very rich.
Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale, the male and female stars of Pearl Harbor, have a lot of doubts when they look at the ever-changing Michael Bay.
"What happened?" Alfred whispered.
"I don't know."
Kate Beckinsale shook her head and whispered, "it must be because of the movie Pearl Harbor, but it doesn't make sense."
Alfred nodded: "yes, it doesn't make sense. Just now, assistant Hao told me that "Pearl Harbor" is a box office hit, and its attendance is not low, far exceeding that of "District 9" released in the same period. "
"In principle, the director should be very excited."
They were full of doubts.
However, they didn't compare!
After all, to be able to play in Pearl Harbor, a movie that costs as much as $140 million to produce and as much as $100 million to publicize, and to be associated with the Disney group, is undoubtedly a great progress in any actor's career.
"I can't wait!"
"God, I really want to know the box office of the movie Pearl Harbor now, whether it's the box office of the first day, or the box office of the three days of the first weekend, or the final box office..."
"Oscar is a movie queen a year, but how many actresses can take part in A-class commercial blockbusters that cost more than 100 million dollars?"
"Ha ha, I have surpassed many people!"
"My future is smooth!"
Actress Kate Beckinsale, at the moment, is full of countless wonderful thoughts about the future.
Ben Affleck was a little reserved.
However, his heart is also very excited.
"Pearl Harbor is bound to sell well. After all, director Michael Beck is the man of heaven and the guarantee of box office!" Ben Affleck's secret.
Michael Bay
.......
Wald pictures.
“boss!”
"Mr. Wald!"
"Chairman!"
Zucker, who just left the head office of Golden Dawn entertainment group, now appears in Wald pictures. Just stepped into the door of Wald film, he was surrounded by the emperor.
All the employees who see Zhuke get up and say hello at the first time.
When the big boss comes, don't you show it?
You want to die?!
The first sentence Zhuke said when he saw Kevin Fitch, the president, was: "Disney has spent a lot of resources to suppress the negative news of Pearl Harbor?"
"Yes, boss."
Kevin Fitch nodded: "since the release of Pearl Harbor, its reputation has declined rapidly. Apart from its wonderful 40 minute blasting scene, the rest are very bloody love triangle stories. Many movie audiences make complaints about the first time when they leave.
At this point, Kevin Fitch was immediately happy.
"My God
"I still don't understand what Michael Bay thought, known as" explosive bay "and" explosive maniac "
"The length of the movie" Pearl Harbor "is 183 minutes, with only 40 minutes of wonderful scenes. Other plots can be described as lengthy and boring. It is said that the audience in any movie hall has gone to the bathroom during the viewing period. Tut Tut, tut Tut, there is so much urine
The shooting of Pearl Harbor is different from the past. There are few pure war scenes, too many literary and artistic attributes, and too much personal thinking.
Copy Titanic?
About love?
Play art?
It's impossible to draw a tiger like a dog. He's screwed up!
Zhuke said strangely: "the best man of heaven is the explosive shell. This time, it's estimated to be bad. It's just a favorite!"
Falling into the well, gloating, taking advantage of others' danger
With all these dirty tricks, Zhuke can't play too well!
Kevin Fitch said with a smile: "although these negative news have appeared in today's concentration, Disney's action is very fast and quickly suppresses the spread of negative news. However, I estimate that even Disney can suppress three to five days at most. "
Smell speech, Zhuke immediately narrowed his eyes, said: "we and Disney are old friends, can't watch them deceive the audience, this is immoral. In a word, it must be exposed! "
"Yes, boss."
Kevin Fitch understood in a flash.
"Squinting is not a good thing." Kevin Fitch looked at his boss and muttered to himself.
Kevin Fitch is not bad at boosting the flames.
With one order, the power of the whole Wald film industry quickly spread out!
Even for the parent company, Jin Shuguang entertainment group, Victor, as the CEO, immediately ordered to cooperate with the publicity, uncover all the negative news about the suppression of Pearl Harbor, and skillfully embellish it.
The method is not so clever, but it is practical enough!
California entertainment and Los Angeles entertainment are willing to be the vanguard!
The second watch is on.
