What does the dilemma of Brad Pitt and David finch mean?
In fact, it's not complicated. The North American film market headed by "two sets of tights" is moving towards another business model. The film companies headed by Disney and Warner Bros. are abandoning the "star system" to get rid of the influence of actors, directors and producers, and taking the adaptation copyright as the Guide to firmly control the initiative in their own hands.
The simplest example is that if Robert Downey Jr. resigns from the role of iron man, will iron man disappear? The answer is no, Disney will replace Robert Downey Jr. with the second generation of iron man - the actor can be replaced, and the copyright role is unique forever.
This is also the reason why Langley has a special status in Hollywood. He got rid of the shackles of copyright and sequels and reproduced the "superstar effect" of the 1980s and 1990s.
"One person is the universe", which makes lanli's status aloof.
On the one hand, they hope to "disappear" and take over the brand-new film market according to their own wishes; On the other hand, he could not get rid of the "temptation" of lanli, hoping to win more interests with the help of lanli. The attitude between large film companies and small film companies is different, and the attitude between Wall Street and Hollywood is also different. This is a game.
"Mind hunter." Lan Li repeated softly, "remind me, what's the story?"
In fact, Lan Li had never watched the "soul Hunter" series in his last life. He was very famous, but he regretted that he missed the opportunity to watch it in person.
Of course, there are special reasons.
In accordance with the development direction of the times, the whole North American TV drama production industry is also rising together with Nafi: it was mentioned when planning for the future of Sisyphus pictures before. Because of the influence of "little golden man tights", the selection and production of the film industry are subject to more and more shackles, Political correctness also leads to the loss of artistic collision in many subjects or types, and large screen works are becoming more and more conservative.
Because in the final analysis, the big screen must realize the first step realization through the box office - even Disney is no exception, "ant man" box office performance is relatively not outstanding, although the reputation is not bad, but the film box office also restricts the development of Disney's later film peripheral to a certain extent. In other words, Disney doesn't expect to make money from movies, but if the box office is not good enough, the peripheral revenue will also be affected.
Because of this, TV relies on the particularity of "family environment". The audience can freely choose their favorite works at home and watch them anytime and anywhere through the online streaming media platform, stripping the fixed carrier of the cinema. This also enables the TV series to expand more potential audiences and highlights the flexibility and variability, TV series also have more room for adventure.
In addition, although the audience rating of North America, including football and Oscar, is declining, in fact, the number of viewers is rising steadily. It's just that the TV series, as a carrier, has been transferred to set-top boxes, online streaming media and other mobile devices. The overall development of the TV series industry has not "declined", But it presents a broader prospect than the film.
"American spy dream", "killer drug master", "walking dead", "maid's story", "hacker corps", "drug lord", "western world", "game of power", "big and small lies", "crown", "women's prison", "Atlanta" and so on. All these excellent works burst out on the small screen in a variety of ways, Different themes, different styles and different types, like a kaleidoscope, present a school of prosperity.
When the big screen is completely dominated by superhero movies, sequel movies and adapted movies occupy the mainstream line of sight, while the small screen ushers in a new era. The exuberant creative vitality gives TV series unlimited possibilities. David Lynch's 2017 series "double peaks" continues the story of "double peaks" once again after 27 years, This is impossible in the film industry. If Showtime TV did not give the green light, then this set of unique style drama which is enough to go down in history may be buried in the torrent of money forever.
In the last life of Chu Jiashu, there were countless and dazzling excellent dramas. He didn't have enough time to watch these dramas - more accurately, there were too many excellent dramas to watch! There's no breathing time.
The same is true of "soul Hunter". This series has received praise from countless audiences and is regarded as an absolutely top-notch excellent series in the eyes of professional drama critics. Lanli has heard about it for countless times, and he is also looking forward to watching it, but until his rebirth, he has not found a chance.
Before that, when choosing projects for Sisyphus pictures, lanli just picked out the "soul Hunter", but he didn't know anything about the specific content of the story.
Andy didn't think much about it. At the beginning, lanli looked through so many script projects and didn't remember the specific content of one of them. It's really normal.
"Do you know the Criminal Psychology Series?" Andy mentioned a set of classic American dramas, which were still playing until the rebirth of Langley's last life. "The mind Hunter" tells the entrepreneurial history of "criminal psychology". Based on the real documentary novels written by two former FBI agents, it tells the story of two FBI agents in the 1970s who deeply explored the criminal psychology. At that time, the name of "serial killer" had not been formally established
This is a very interesting topic, just like the psychological world of Professor Hannibal who goes deep into the "silent lamb".
"However, this is not a crime suspense drama in the conventional sense, but a historical documentary drama based on crime." Andy added, "you know, David's perspective is always a little different."
"People. In the end, David finch's plays like to stay with people. " "Twelve palaces" is the best example Lan Li is a familiar tone.
Andy immediately laughed. "Yes, it's like the twelfth house."
RuNi sipped her lips and murmured Tucao. "No wonder those stations make complaints about money."
"The twelfth Palace", which was released in 2007, was once regarded as the most unsuccessful work of David finch. Paramount Pictures invested 65 million US dollars and invited Robert Downey Jr., Jack Gyllenhaal, mark rufaro and other actors to join in. It tells the story of the detection process of San Francisco's self styled "twelfth palace killer" in the 1970s and 1980s, just like "Jack the Ripper", This is also an unsolved case that has not yet been solved in reality.
However, after the film was released, it was attacked by the audience. Although the comprehensive evaluation of the media was 78 points, the box office performance was a complete disaster. In the end, North America only gained 33 million US dollars, which made Paramount Pictures lose a lot. Later, it did not cause much discussion among the film critics.
However, with the precipitation of time, just like "fight club", the excellence and excellence of "Twelfth Palace" has gradually been recognized by more and more people, and even many senior fans believe that this is David's peak work, surpassing "fight club" and "social network".
In the work of "Twelve palaces", David tries to dig out the psychology of each character. He focuses on every person who deals with the case, but it's not about the case itself, but about the truth. Everyone's heart is full of a restless desire for the truth, which may lead to paranoia and Madness step by step, There will never be peace until the truth is discovered.
The whole film subtly and skillfully creates the atmosphere of pressing step by step, and then shows the influence of each participant around an "irrefutable truth". The life trajectory is quietly changed - not only the victim, but also the case handler.
That's what makes David finch the best.
Obviously, the same should be true of "mind Hunter". In fact, in the "criminal psychology", the writers show the self dilemma of every criminal psychoanalyst from various angles. In the process of solving a case, they are inevitably affected. The darkness gradually destroys and engulfs their hearts; So, the "mind Hunter" who focuses on the originator of criminal psychology should be even more so.
As Rooney said, it's no wonder that TV stations are very cautious. Just like the "Twelve palaces" and the "twin peaks", the production of such a style of drama must face huge risks. Even HBO and Nafi must be cautious.
"It's interesting." Lanli made a comment.
Interesting, but not exciting.
Andy throws a helpless look at Rooney, which makes Rooney's smile surge up. "You know, lenley, I can't understand what he thinks."
So make complaints about Andy's laughter. "Funny?" What's the comment? Sounds good, but actually there's no interesting idea? Or is it interesting to try? I can't tell David that Langley thinks the proposal is interesting, and that's all
If we follow the habit of lanli's previous selection of works, in fact, Andy can have 80% confidence that lanli will like the play.
First of all, stay in the role, show the growth of the role, give the actor enough space to play; Secondly, the theme is unique, showing the changes of psychological level; Third, David Finch, he is one of the directors that Langley has always liked very much. If he has the opportunity to cooperate, he will not refuse.
The only factor to reduce scores should be TV series.
However, now more and more famous actors and directors are going to the small screen. The times are quite different. It's like that famous actors return to the stage. This is a trend and a challenge; What's more, lanli should not exclude TV series or movies.
But today is a special day and Andy is not sure.
