Chapter 215

New York, in the studio of the unusual creatures.

"Mr. Michael Bay, this is last night's ratings report."

A staff member trotted in and handed a fax to Michael Bay, the top Hollywood director on the set.

The director took the document, glanced at it and handed it to the rest of the crew.

"Mr. Michael Bay, we're a lot ahead of Raymond." Actor Joseph Gordon, with a happy face, said: "so can we have a party tonight to celebrate?"

Audience rating?

Hearing this, Michael Bay turned his lips with disdain.

As a director who has directed a movie with a box office of over 100 million, do you still need to care about the audience rating of a TV play?

No, not at all!

He is more concerned about the critics' comments on the book.

Because the writers watched a lot, the influence of this film review is far more than before.

Although the commercial film director, mentions the movie critic, mostly will scoff.

But that's also because this group makes a great mockery of commercial film directors.

James Cameron, who shot terminator and true lies, has been rated as a "truck driver" who can only play special effects.

Affected by this, the director's highest honor is only the Saturn Award in 1983.

And George Lucas, from the beginning of star wars, has never won a significant director award.

As for Spielberg, who is known as "the perfect combination of art and business", it was not until 1994 that he won the best director Oscar for "Schindler's list".

Although before, he had already shot "et", "Jurassic Park" and other films, which were both popular and popular.

Michael Bay, thinking about "what's happened to unusual creatures," can't help shaking his head with a wry smile.

Although the scenes in this TV series are not inferior to his movie "bravely breaking into a life-threatening island".

But...

that kind of funny people and stories is a complete commercial film model.

"Just hope..." Michael Bay took a sip of his coffee.

When the bitterness was completely diffused in his mouth, he continued to say to himself, "the evaluation of" abnormal "should not be lower than that of" intruding on a deadly island. "

At this time, his agent came with a large stack of newspapers.

"Michael, this is today's newspaper," the agent added breathlessly. "I don't know why, almost all the influential film critics are talking about yesterday's anomaly."

That's it. Goodbye to Oscar.

Michael Bay thinks of Spielberg in the great white shark period, who has been criticized for a long time www.jjxxs.cn ]After the ridicule of the world, there is no tragic situation of major awards.

I'm not as well connected as Spielberg.

And there's no other "Schindler's list" to shoot.

At the same time, he regretted taking over the film "unusual creatures" and took the newspaper.

But a moment later, Michael Bay was petrified.

"In the history of literary adaptation," abnormal "is a new starting point, worthy of being remembered."

Michael Bay looked at it carefully several times to make sure he didn't see any vision.

He was stunned for a moment and quickly read other newspapers.

"In the adaptation of strange creatures, Michael Bay finally gave up the method of showing off his skills and began to respect the original work."

"Fans of the original book say that Michael Bay's space station is the image in their hearts."

This...

he looked at the score again and saw that the lowest score had four stars.

And the average score of "brave island" seems to be 2 stars, right?

Is ABC so powerful that it can get rid of most film critics?

Michael Bay looked at the logo of the TV station on the studio and felt a slight twinkle for a moment.

This kind of thing is impossible even for Hollywood giants Disney, universal and Columbia.

"That's right." The agent took out three newspapers and said, "I think these comments are worth collecting."

"No, all the reviews are worth collecting!" Michael Bay sighed in his heart.

"It's unimaginable that one day, critics will praise themselves, not scold them!"

Who has ever made this achievement among the current commercial film directors in Hollywood, apart from Spielberg?

As he took the newspaper, he thought in his mind, "probably, only himself!"

"Although the adaptation of" abnormal "is not particularly brilliant, it is quite in place.

Comprehensive evaluation: 3.5 star recommendation3.5？

This makes Michael Bay, who has just seen a lot of 4-star recommendations, very uncomfortable.

"This is... The New York Times?" "It's worth collecting just because it's the biggest circulation newspaper," he whispered

"Of course not." The agent pointed to the paper, smiling, "look at the reviewer's signature."

"Roger Abbott gives four stars. What's more authoritative than him?" Michael Bay looked at the signature bar and saw a familiar name on it.

"Stephen King?" He was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "is that Stephen King?"

"Of course," the agent nodded with a smile, "otherwise, how could it be worth collecting?"

So... Who are the critics of these two newspapers?

Michael Bay carefully put the New York Times on his desk.

Then he picked up the Washington Post and American literature.

"Toni Morrison?"

"Joseph Heller?"

Although the three film reviews only gave 3.5 points.

But in addition to their own works, what other works can make these three world-famous writers write film reviews?

"Come on, buy three more newspapers." Michael Bay yelled at his agent: "there must be no wrinkles!"

After the agent left, he picked up the three film reviews and read them carefully.

As he watched, a flash of lightning flashed through Michael Bay's mind.

"ABC doesn't have the ability to PR all film critics, but...

" the writers' Association has it! "

Roger Abbott, the most famous film critic, is a student of Joseph Heller's students!

Then, he connected all the recent events in his mind.

The original author, Wang, angrily denounced the producers when the negotiation video of "abnormal" was exposed.

The Writers Association came forward to support Wang.

"Abnormal" re editing, login ABC.

Film critics began to praise the commercial atmosphere of "abnormal".

"So..." Michael Bay looked at a table full of newspapers and said to himself, "the critics didn't give me high marks, but Wang?"

Several leading actors around him looked at each other when they heard this.

Then, he heard the chief director smile, "in any case, the critics have given a high score, so for the dignity of the critics, the award season will be reflected."

"Unexpectedly, the first heavyweight award I got was not Saturn, golden globe or Oscar, but may be Amy!"

"Ha ha, it's interesting to see and hear about unusual creatures."

He picked up his coffee and took a sip. "Wang, I'm really looking forward to when you can make a movie!"
