Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Before the movie started, hundreds of film critics, each chatting with their acquaintances.

Among them, a film critic with gray hair and the appearance of a stubborn old white man, who had not yet seen the movie, said to the Batman Dark Knight:

"I see, at most, this is a commercial blockbuster, deep artistry, think about it, you know that there is no way."

"Look at Steve Kevin's movies, chainsaws, plasma horror films, there is no artistic connotation at all."

"Mission Impossible, agent action movies, also without the slightest bit of art."

"And last year's Pirates of the Caribbean, which is also not half artistic."

"It was also an escape from Desperate Town and a little bit about the discrimination that blacks face in the United States, but in essence, it is just a commercial film."

"I admit, he is obviously very good at making commercial films, but unfortunately, to be honest, these movies are a pile of garbage in my opinion."

“···"

The words of the old white man obviously attracted the recognition of those film critics who have a certain degree of popularity.

A director who focuses on commercial blockbusters is a treasure in the eyes of Hollywood studios, but in their eyes, it is garbage.

Only those directors who focus on art films and literary films are good directors in their mouths.

The reason is simple, the ass determines the head.

Literary films, generally the box office is not high, the box office height that film critics can decide, for literary films, there is a gap between life and death.

To put it simply, Wen Qing is easy to fool.

Most of the literary young people who watch literary and art films are easily taken into the ditch by the words of film critics.

On the contrary, commercial blockbusters are completely different.

In terms of real large-scale productions, the box office of hundreds of millions at every turn is not something that ordinary film critics can control, even if film critics sing unanimously, it will cause losses of tens of millions of dollars at most.

It doesn't mean to decide life or death.

Of course, few film critics do this, you know, rushing to make bad reviews of big productions of large companies, the consequences are very serious.

This will invite a strong counterattack from large companies, and in terms of the media forces behind these big Hollywood companies, if you are serious, it is not too simple to ban an ordinary film critic.

You know, most film critics rely on one, maybe more newspapers.

As soon as these large companies say a word, the newspaper may not accept the manuscript directly.

Even if there are good film reviews, if there is no newspaper to ask for it, it is meaningless.

In the final analysis, the core income of film critics now is actually to help film companies advocate for the red envelopes obtained by movies.

Those big film critics, a film evaluation is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, make more money, and these money are given by the film company.

Taking other people's money means recognizing your own identity.

...

When these film critics launched a denunciation of Steve Kevin, the famous film critic Roger Ebert looked at the others who were disturbing on the side, with a disdainful expression on his face.

"A bunch of idiots who can't see the situation clearly."

Yes, that's what he said about this group of film critics.

Film critics are essentially parasites that suck the blood of film companies, and they rely on film companies to exist.

Use your influence over audiences, or threats, or bribes, to earn PR money from studios.

This means that film critics are an absolute vulnerable group in front of film companies.

And Steve Kevin, no longer an ordinary director, but a major shareholder of MGM, and a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Is it really easy to deal with others?

Angered Steve Kevin, the consequences are not so simple.

Roger Ebert has long made up his mind to tout Steve Kevin more in the media and establish a good relationship in advance.

He has a hunch that Steve Kevin, the future is definitely an amazing big man in Hollywood, and it's absolutely right to have a relationship in advance.

Under the hustle and bustle, the movie soon began to play.

In order to maximize the charm of the Dark Knight, Warner will play the Dark Knight two-part series at this screening.

At the same time, in order to prevent the leakage of the plot, Warner also signed extremely strict contracts with these film critics to prevent them from revealing the plot in advance.

Of course, these are inevitable.

Film critics also know this kind of rule, no one dares to offend, otherwise, let alone the profession of film critic can not do it.

The fact that the film company claims from them under contract alone is enough for the rest of their lives to live the worst life.

This point, once MGM did once, took the film critic who revealed the plot to court, and successfully won the lawsuit.

And that well-known film critic, after paying all of MGM's net worth, directly chose to go bankrupt.

Directly reduced to a street bum.

Since then, all film critics, on the day they became film critics, have firmly remembered this point.

...

The projectionist turned off the lights in the theater, and the film critics quickly quieted down, and the basic professionalism, these people still have.

The movie screen lit up, and after Warner's classic WB title, the movie began.

"Bruce, we love you."

The opening credits, in a quick flashback, show Batman's childhood nightmare in front of these people's eyes.

Everyone was expressionless and continued to watch the movie.

The birth of Batman is almost a well-known thing, and in the past Batman, this scene will not be filmed emphatically.

Steve Kevin's purpose in portraying this scene?

The next moment, Christian Bell's noble-like Batman woke up from his manor.

The housekeeper A Fu came over and said with a worried look:

"Bruce, having nightmares again?"

A flash of memory flashed in Bruce's eyes.

···

"This is Bruce? I can't accept it! "

The movie had just begun, and immediately someone was expressing their dissatisfaction.

Kevin made a huge adjustment to the image of Batman, making Batman more like a noble son when he was not wearing a Batman suit.

Completely pull away Batman's daily and combat image.

This is obviously different from Bruce in the comics, and there are naturally DC Comics comics fans among the critics.

Seeing this scene, I immediately questioned it directly.

However, more film critics still stood still, silently watching the movie.

............

On the other hand, Kevin is here, when Warner is preparing for the movie promotion, Kevin is busy with how to revitalize the Marvel Universe.

Although it is not so anxious, it is definitely necessary to lay out in advance.

You know, in the previous life, Marvel spent twelve years on the creation of the Marvel Universe.

Through dozens of Marvel movies, TV comics, the Marvel Earth-199999-616 universe was created together.

And such an IP is enough to bring tens of billions of dollars in revenue to Marvel.
