~： 236 - Pulp Fiction

"I heard that this director, Quentin Tarantino, has the shooting style closest to you?"

Rolls-Royce Silver Spike is moving slowly, Naomi Watts leaning on the seat, flipping through the pre-screening promotion of "Pulp Fiction" in the newspaper, there are film critics and the media's criticism of Quentin Tower Various analyses of Lentino.

"In fact, it's just similar, the shooting style is fundamentally different." Wayne also saw those reports, the media and film critics said that Quentin-discussed that Dino had become a smaller him. This statement is very marketable, but he I thought it was bullshit.

At 7 pm on October 13th, "Pulp Fiction" will premiere at the Kodak Theater tonight, organized by the producer and distributor Miramax.

The film will be officially released on October 14. Wayne has long agreed to the invitation, and he is here today. There are still a few things to do.

"I also think what the media is saying makes sense." Naomi Watts glanced out the window, the whole street was full of traffic jams, and flipped through the newspaper and said boringly.

"Compared with you, except for more **** scenes, he feels very similar, and even the finished film is rated R, and the absurd elements in your director's film, in his film There are even more in China.”

Wayne shook his head. "At most, it can only be said that they are both black films, but there are still differences in essence. You can feel it after watching the film for a while."

However, looking at the speed of the car like a turtle, he was idle anyway, and he continued to explain: "Quentin Tarantino's personal style is more prominent, there are many subversive techniques, and his film narrative, many For the wild and uninhibited chapter body.

If nothing else, this is the most essential difference. In fact, my narrative style is still biased towards the traditional academic multi-line narrative. After all, I have been learning these things all the time, which results in a fundamentally different storytelling method. So I say, his personal style is much stronger than mine. "

There is no difference between these two narrative methods, which is better than the other. In fact, they both serve the story of the movie, but they are essentially two completely different ways.

Whether Wayne is filming or narrative, it is the direction of the orthodox academic school. For a film, choosing the appropriate narrative structure is crucial to the narrative of the story.

As a more traditional narrative structure, multi-line juxtaposition has its unique characteristics in emotional and theme expression. At the same time, it also has special practical significance and artistry for film creation.

To put it bluntly, this is one of the reasons why his films always resonate with the audience through stories.

And Quentin Tarantino is much more wild and free, coupled with the ingenious dialogues in his films, the unlimited blood spurting, and a lot of black humorous surprises and spoofs, giving the audience the feeling that there will always be a A particularly enjoyable feeling of refreshment.

"God, it's finally moving." In fact, Wayne's explanation of these is equivalent to saying that Naomi Watts is not interested in these at all. What she is interested in is that she can walk the red carpet again.

As he moved forward, Sergey parked the car smoothly beside the red carpet, and Wayne opened the car door, took Naomi Watts by the hand, and walked towards the entrance of the theater.

In the flash of light as if the sun had suddenly dawned, no matter how the reporter shouted his name and wanted him to pose for some pictures, he didn't stop.

This is not Wayne's own movie, and he didn't want to use the movie to promote himself. If it wasn't for taking care of Naomi Watts, maybe he wouldn't walk the red carpet and just walked in through the side door.

After the two walked to the entrance of the theater, they refused the reporter's interview and entered the theater directly after signing their names.

"Director Greenberg, Ms. Watts, thank you for coming."

As soon as he entered the door, the host, Quentin Tarantino, greeted him, accompanied by Harvey Weinstein.

"Congratulations, you don't need to greet us." Wayne shook hands with the two with a smile, and said to Harvey Weinstein, "Let's find a place to chat a few words?"

"Ok, come with me."

The big fat man took the two people into a lounge, and after the waiter had served coffee, he continued: "The witch's movie will be made soon, when do you think it will start? better?"

"So fast?" Wayne was also taken aback at this speed. It had only been a long time, and the fat man was about to get it done.

Harvey Weinstein spread his hands and said, "Find a filming location in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and then Bob contacted a small director, two cameras and several actors, how slow can it be? It's estimated that it will take less than a month. In time, the film can be edited and completed.”

In fact, this is really the case. Although this was not shot with a portable camera, if the quality of the film is not required, I am afraid that even the film will not be used much.

Harvey Weinstein fully understands that it doesn't matter what the film is made of and what's in it, what matters is the viral marketing method. People don't want to make money fast.

He said that the purpose of these is to fund subsequent large-scale publicity and marketing, which needs to be shared by both parties. This is not a small number, and everyone needs to prepare time to raise.

After the registration of the Witch Studio was completed, they each put in 200,000 US dollars, which was enough for the filming and post-production.

The assistant didn't come today, so Wayne took out a cigarette from Naomi Watts's handbag, lit one on his own, and thought for a while before saying, "I've been short on funds recently, and I need to wait two days. It takes Warner Bros.’s share to provide a large amount of publicity funds.”

"Is the gossip true? Are you going to invest in Warner Bros.?"

Harvey Weinstein suddenly remembered that since a year or so, there has been news in the circle that Warner Bros. will bleed himself and do it for the other party in order to tie up the growth point of Wayne Greenberg. A share expansion financing.

"Yes, my negotiating team has basically done everything, and the subscription agreement will be signed in the near future." Wayne nodded. There is nothing that cannot be admitted. The matter is almost negotiated. This news.

"Let's put it next year, Harvey, we need more preparation time." Breathing out a big puff of green smoke, he took the ashtray handed over by Naomi Watts, flicked the ashtray, and said:

"Also, "The Clown Returns" has just been played like this. Although the couple who were scared to death signed a non-disclosure agreement and are still on vacation overseas, no one can say whether things will be linked together. We still use the time Stagger a little longer."

Harvey Weinstein nodded and agreed with the other party's statement. Moreover, he also found a way to raise the large amount of funds needed for publicity. Tens of millions of dollars were not a small number at any time.

"Right." Wayne talked about the purpose of coming here today. "After the premiere, you introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson. How about the actor? You know what I mean."

Majafa 'K' man is also one of his bad tastes. In fact, the role of this role is not too much, and similar actors are not difficult to find, but he really wants to dig Director SHIELD.

Harvey Weinstein understands what he means. Every director in the circle is more troubled by African-American actors who are self-righteous and suffer from persecution and paranoia. "Good character and good professional attitude."

That's enough, Wayne nodded, stood up and tidied up his suit, and said, "Then I'll leave your master alone, find a staff member and take us to the cinema, I'm looking forward to this movie very much. "

"I won't let you down. Seriously, Quentin and you definitely have a lot of similarities. If Pulp Fiction can have half the box office of "The Clown," it will be considered a great success."

Harvey Weinstein took them out of the lounge, beckoned to a Miramax employee, explained a few words, and said "whatever you want" to Wayne before returning to the theater door.

Under the leadership of the staff, the two did not go to socialize, but sat directly in the middle of the second row of the cinema, waiting for the movie screening to start.

It can be seen that Naomi Watts is very curious about the witch movie. After the staff left, she lay on Wayne's shoulder and whispered: "Are you going to work with this big fat man? Harvey Weinstein The reputation in the circle, but it has not been very good It doesn't matter."

Wayne observed the crowd around him and said indifferently, "He's a smart man. He knows that some people can cheat at will, but some people won't let him pay more attention."

A large number of movie fans have begun to enter the theater, and they also saw individual film critics. He waved and said hello to Todd McCarthy, but he did not have the idea of ​​​​going over to chat.

Unexpectedly, this famous film critic in Los Angeles came over and took a seat next to him.

"The director of Quentin Tarantino."

The two shook hands, and Todd McCarthy chatted with him in a low voice. "Besides you, the director who surprised me the most, I've seen the test screening of this film, and it has a strong black personal style. "

"Actually, he entered the business earlier than me." Wayne also chatted casually. "I personally like his work. Those violent aesthetics are easy for Quentin."

"But these are very unfriendly to ladies, aren't they," Naomi Watts said suddenly.

"Yes, this type of film is usually very unfriendly to women." Unexpectedly, Todd McCarthy agreed with this point of view. He didn't talk about art or anything, just casually chatting about film types.

"Wayne has done a good job at this point, not overusing his personal style, and using stories to attract audiences to resonate, which is one of the reasons why his films are always good at the box office."

"Thank you." Wayne smiled humbly when he heard him praise Naomi Watts in front of him.

As the crew members all returned to the theater, the lights slowly went out, and the screening of "Pulp Fiction" officially began.
