Chapter 2187： Ups and downs curve

Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

For the current Evan Bell, the success of the single is actually just the icing on the cake in the honor room. If you want to ask Evan Bell's thoughts, he is more willing to concentrate on the creation of new works. After the release of the album "Five", because most of 2009 was focused on filming, Evan Bell's musical composition was not much.

Of course, music creation needs inspiration, impatience is the most important thing, and Evan Bell is also not in a hurry, but compared to satisfying the achievements of singles, Evan Bell still hopes to focus his attention on the creation of new works superior.

In fact, at Evan Bell's current position, the pressure on his shoulders is unimaginable, not to mention the public's attention, people are looking forward to whether Evan Bell can make a breakthrough. As far as Evan Bell himself is concerned, he also hopes If he can continue to make breakthroughs, if he stands still, then even if he has achieved palace-level results now, the future will be like this.

There are many singers, after reaching a peak, they will fall into a state of daze: Is it better to stick to the current level? Or take the risk of making more daring attempts? This kind of contradiction exists for everyone, but when an artist reaches the peak, this kind of doubt will become more serious.

Besides, after the artist reaches the peak, it is not so easy to maintain the standard or make a breakthrough. Imagine that Evan Bell has starred in three high-quality works of "One Day", "Inception" and "In the Cloud". After that, the acting has reached the point where it is completely natural. So in the future, he will continue to make breakthroughs. How should he make breakthroughs? And at this level, will all the roles become the same? It is a complex of contradictions.

People have different myths at different stages and at different positions. Even the richest man in the world has his troubles. Top stars shine in front of people, but not everyone can understand the troubles behind them. Why the Beatles disbanded at their peak, why did Michael Jackson fail to re-create after entering the 21st century, why Mariah Carey was considered to be behind the trend of the times...

Even if Evan Bell is reborn, at this position, he is still inevitably confused. After all, he has never reached the position he is now in his last life. Although Evan Bell has been telling himself that he must stick to his original dream and not be blinded by the colorful fans of the entertainment industry. But the pressure of the achievements now falling on Evan Bell's shoulders is an invisible shackle, restricting Evan Bell's actions all the time.

The maturity and wisdom of the two worlds allow Evan Bell to remain awake now. I was not confused by the kaleidoscope of the entertainment industry. I haven't been carried away by the great achievements, but now, it is undeniable that Evan Bell has encountered bottlenecks in both music and movies. This bottleneck is not necessarily a simple breakthrough of inspiration, but more so many achievements. Dazed after achievement.

The reason why Evan Bell is so indifferent to the praise of the media and the accumulation of awards is even more serious than before. Not without the idea of keeping calm. During the filming of "In the Cloud", Evan Bell felt the pressure from acting and directing. Therefore, Evan Bell has not paid much attention to the outstanding achievements in music recently.

There is no need for him to mention concerns similar to Evan Bell. Media reporters started talking about it two or three years ago. At that time, Evan Bell had achieved countless outstanding achievements, and people were worried about "hurting Zhongyong". After all, Evan Bell has not yet reached the age of 30, and he has achieved such outstanding results. It is very likely that he will either die early or run out of talent because of jealousy.

In addition, the media are still worried that Evan Bell is now climbing too high, and once he falls, it will definitely be a terrible situation. Every time Evan Bell launches a new work, people have great expectations. Just like the situation before the release of "One Day", it is only "good" and cannot meet the expectations of the audience, even if it is "excellent", it is only psychological The bottom line is only, people are looking forward to the birth of another "classic". This common situation is actually the most obvious manifestation of Evan Bell's current situation: walking a tightrope at a high altitude, trembling, trembling, this height has surpassed the entire Hollywood, but the height is extremely cold, and there is endless fog in front of him. There is no way to see where the end is.

Evan Bell's situation is not uncommon in Hollywood, but it is not uncommon at the same time. Especially those who stand at the top, then lose themselves and gradually disappear from the public eye. There are countless such artists.

The ups and downs of life are very normal. The last moment was at the peak and the next moment fell to the bottom. The previous day was poor and the next day the decline was reversed. This kind of situation can definitely be said to happen every day, and this kind of thing is even more in the entertainment industry. It is not uncommon, Robert Downey Jr.'s huge success in last summer's summer season, announcing his strong return, is the most direct example.

Of course, there are many more examples in the entertainment industry that were very popular and then disappeared. There are countless such examples. Even aside from those that have been brought out of the public eye because of their age, similar to Macaulay Culkin, who relied on "Home Alone" to become popular all over the world at a young age, but soon disappeared like a shooting star, Not uncommon in Hollywood.

Frank Darabont is an example of this.

Frank Darabont, who was a screenwriter, rolled around in Hollywood in 1987. He participated in the screenwriting work of many excellent works, but the work that really made him appear in the public eye was not the screenwriter position, but the first time in his life. Self-written and directed work, "The Shawshank Redemption" launched in 1994.

When "The Shawshank Redemption" was first released, it did not receive much praise, and then won seven Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc., but returned empty-handed. It was a huge success in the home theater market and rental market, becoming one of the most famous cases in movie history. Today, "The Shawshank Redemption" is on the IMDB rankings. It is not only the movie with the most fans participating in the ratings so far, but also overwhelmed the "Godfather" for many years. The "Dark Knight" once shook the status of these two classics, but In the end, the victory could not be held to the end.

Then in 1999, Frank Darabont collaborated with Tom Hanks on "The Green Miracle", which once again won rave reviews, which also made Frank Darabont a well-known Hollywood director: not many works It is a classic. Although "Life in the Movies", a collaboration with Jim Carrey in 2001, suffered a double failure at the box office and word of mouth, putting Frank Darabont under tremendous pressure, but the 2007 work "The Mist" saved him face. "The Mist" cannot be compared with Frank Darabont's past works in terms of box office and word of mouth, and the ending of the film has been criticized for a long time, but the overall quality is still recovering.

It's a pity that this is Hollywood. One mistake is fatal, and two mistakes completely ruin the future. This is the case with Jonathan Demme. After the peaks of "Silence of the Lambs" and "Philadelphia Story", he has never been able to show outstanding results again. After shooting "Rachel's Wedding", he completely disappeared from the film circle. . So did Frank Darabont.

In Frank Darabont's twenty-six years of directing career, he has made seven films in total, and after the fiasco of "Life in Film", he has only released one work each in 2002 and 2007." The Mist's underwhelming 2007, followed by Frank Darabont's long hiatus, nearly disappearing from the sights of Hollywood insiders.

It's not uncommon for an artist to disappear from the public eye. As long as the paparazzi don't follow and no new works are released, they often dive for a while; but it's not that easy to disappear from the insiders' sight, or you don't deserve attention. , or Hollywood has lost faith in you. Frank Darabont probably has both.

In fact, if Frank Darabont is mentioned again now, people probably only remember the brilliance of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Green Miracle" In addition, their minds are blank, especially when entering After the 21st century, the first decade is coming to an end, and Frank Darabont is still silent, although because of the unshakable dominance of "The Shawshank Redemption" in IMDB, people will never Forget him, but to a certain extent, his entertainment career will end here, and then slowly disappear into the long river of history.

However, Frank Darabont, who is currently at the bottom of his long career, appeared in Studio Eleven. He came to visit Evan Bell specifically. Evan Bell, who is in the heyday of his career, is really a Very interesting thing, when Frank Darabont filmed his first directorial work "The Woman in the House" in 1982, Evan Bell was not even born, and now, the two people's positions in the entertainment industry are very different. difference. The ups and downs of life are probably like this.

Evan Bell was a little surprised by the arrival of Frank Darabont. He was naturally very familiar with the face of the bald French uncle in front of him, and recognized it at a glance, but the problem was that the meeting that Teddy Bell reserved today was not A TV show proposal? Since it's a TV show, why did Frank Darabont show up? Has the old man encountered a bottleneck in the film field and started to switch to TV dramas? But... the challenges in the field of TV dramas are definitely no less difficult than that of movies!
