~： Four hundred and thirty-nine - who wrote this thing?

If anyone knows Wayne best, then Professor Anderson Horowitz is undoubtedly one. During the more than three years of college, they had no idea how many times they had exchanged views on film production.

The professor has been watching him silently. From the graduation film "Happy Death Day", the professor will carefully watch every film Wayne shoots at least two or three times.

When "Get Out", "Joker" and "Joker" were released, he saw Wayne's progress from these films, and he found that the films made by his students had a strong personal style, but The audience has been expanding.

Similar to the over-CULT movie in school, there is not one movie. All this indicates that Wayne has really suppressed his creation. For the audience size of the movie, it is not a bad thing to compromise. .

Especially when the "Batman: War Hour" was released, Professor Anderson-Horowitz was simply surprised. This is like an epic that perfectly combines its own style and commercialization. The film is towering and atmospheric. The layout of the shots and the realistic shooting style made him deeply fascinated.

In the professor's mind, he does not recommend that his students plunge into the so-called artistic independent film circle after graduation, to work hard for the lead of their first feature film.

Instead, he prefers his students to start their careers down-to-earth after entering Hollywood. He has never been prejudiced against commercial films.

So far, Professor Anderson-Horowitz's proposition is that the movie must first be enjoyed by the audience before it can discuss the art that exists in it. Similar words, he said to Wayne more than once.

Without him, it is because Wayne's personal style is too strong. Of course, he can have the ultimate personal style, but the first thing to consider is how to use his own style to make it acceptable to the public.

Over the years, Wayne has filmed a movie, and he is undoubtedly on the right path. The only thing that surprised him was the "The Departed".

Compared with the films shot before, the audience of "The Departed" is much narrower. This kind of work full of B-grade film attributes is destined to not be too many fans who can accept it.

The moment she saw this film, Anderson-Horowitz heard the so-called experimental short films Wayne filmed when she was in school. summary.

"Yes, teacher." Wayne nodded generously, not caring about the Star Wars father who was staring at him with interest, and expressed his selfishness without any concealment.

"Teacher, this "The Departed" is a summary of my study life. Even at the beginning of the film's preparation, I was prepared to lose money. I made enough money for Warner Bros., even if the film's box office Not ideal, and they can't possibly have any opinion.

Now the box office that this movie has created is much better than I imagined. You should have heard that in this film, my main goal is the Oscar, and I hope to use the best way to win the golden statuette. "

Several people nodded when they heard his words, and everyone knew in their hearts that with Wayne's current status at Warner Bros., no one would dare to raise objections.

Besides, the so-called box office of "The Departed" is not ideal, which is compared with his other previous works. If you change to another director, this will be a proper box office hit.

Of course, Wayne is inconvenient to say some things. If this "The Departed" is placed at other times, if he wants to get the golden statue representing the highest honor, the success rate will basically not exceed 30%.

But with the soft persimmon of Miramax "The English Patient", the situation is completely different. He has accumulated enough points over the years, his invisible achievements in expanding overseas markets for Hollywood, and the promises of those Jewish old men. In every respect, Anthony Minghella is at an absolute disadvantage.

"Don't worry, I will mobilize some old friends' votes." Professor Anderson Horowitz smiled and patted his arm. Although this day came a lot earlier than he thought, but Wayne's achievements The higher it is, the more outstanding his grades are.

The reason is very simple. When everyone mentions Wayne Greenberg, the most individual director in Hollywood, it is inevitable to mention the college he graduated from. The brilliance of creation has been severely recorded in the history of film.

"Thank you, teacher."

Wayne isn't being pretentious, and after awards season, every extra vote is an insurance policy.

Just as a few people were reminiscing about the past in the office, a small auditorium of the Academy of Film and Art began to be bustling with people entering.

Professor Anderson-Horowitz has long been notified of today's speech. There is no threshold to listen to it. As long as you are a student of the Southern California Academy of Film and Art, anyone who is interested can enter.

"I don't like Wayne Greenberg," a white girl, frowning, holding a backpack, was dragged to the door of the small auditorium by a boy, complaining as she walked. "Can't you come here by yourself? The movie he made made me nauseous. I really don't understand why you guys..."

When the girl was in the middle of her complaint, the boy covered her mouth, and the eyes of the students who came to them in high spirits looked at the two of them, and there was an obvious dangerous light.

It wasn't until the white girl was dragged aside by her friend and gave way to the entrance of the auditorium that the students glared at them and walked in.

"Lina, damn, you almost killed us." The boy let go of his girlfriend's mouth and said with some lingering fears: "This opportunity is too rare, I swear, if we miss this speech, we will regret it. Besides, you've only seen one of Wayne's The Departed, so you can't make such a mindless conclusion." "Am I mindless?"

The white girl rolled her eyes, she knew that her boyfriend had always been an admirer of Wayne, but she couldn't understand why so many people liked to watch swear words and **** things.

In order to find out why her boyfriend likes Wayne, Linna went to the theater and bought a movie ticket for The Departed. Unfortunately, all the elements in the movie did not please her. After frowning and watching most of the time, he still chose to leave early.

Suddenly, the girl seemed to remember something, pulled the boy to the bench beside her, pulled the backpack she was holding in her arms, took out a newspaper, and patted it on her boyfriend's lap with a "pop". "Do you want me to read it for you? This is the evaluation of an authoritative person."

"what?"

Linna ignored her boyfriend's doubts, picked up the newspaper again, and a playful and crisp voice sounded from her mouth. "As of last weekend, The Departed has grossed $139 million in North America, and it won't be a problem to break through $150 million compared to the movie's long run time.

According to the information released by Warner Bros. earlier, the production cost of this film is only 40 million US dollars, and the crew from the front of the stage to the behind the scenes are all joining with a pay cut. If you look at the box office, it can be called a success no matter what. "

"Is there something wrong?" The boy looked at his girlfriend strangely, not understanding what she wanted to express.

"There's more below." Linna deliberately paused, the corners of her mouth were raised, showing a smile of anticipation of victory, and continued to read: "Contrary to what the public thinks, after a series of investigations, I learned that "" The reason why The Departed is a big sell is entirely due to the personal appeal that Wayne Greenberg has built over the past few years.

According to data released by an authoritative third-party survey agency in North America, nearly one-third of movie fans who go into the theater to watch the movie are willing to buy tickets to watch the movie because of the signs made by Greenberg. There are also a small number of other fans who are attracted by the appeal of the three protagonists and by the praise that can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

Is "The Departed" really that good? From the polarized word of mouth of the audience after watching the movie, it can explain a lot of problems This Wayne Greenberg's ambitious work, the quality is definitely not as good as the box office figures show. It can even be said that this is a work that relies on the credibility of fans established by the consumption of the director himself, so that false prosperity will appear.

The reason why the film's box office trend is so strong is obviously because Warner Bros. is recklessly consuming Wayne Greenberg's fan trust in order to make money. Of course, all of this is not the responsibility of the production company. The quality of the film is not high enough, and the source of the film is still directed to the director of the film, as everyone knows.

Wayne Greenberg has continued to achieve success since the first film "Happy Death Day". We have reason to believe that after so many years of consumption of creative energy, he has embarked on a downhill road that directors will experience. Now movie fans Maybe because of his name, he will endure the bad viewing experience of "The Departed", but what if there is the next failure? Will anyone else go into the theater to buy tickets to watch the movie for his name..."

As the clear voice stopped, the girl raised her face and looked at her boyfriend proudly, as if she had finally found some authoritative evidence, wanting to end the countless arguments with her boyfriend before.

But before she could say anything, a voice came from behind and asked, "Who wrote this thing?"

"It's Roger Albert, the authoritative film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times." The girl said subconsciously, and then realized that it wasn't her boyfriend who was asking the question just now. "He's a leader among film critics..."

At this moment, the boyfriend beside the girl stood up and asked uncertainly, "Are you Wayne Greenberg?!"
