[US Entertainment] Kise's Hollywood Diary

"I have nothing to say about Vincent's level. It is as excellent as ever. This long shot follows Vincent's rhythm completely."

"Although I haven't seen the rivalry between Vincent and Leonardo, I am really looking forward to the follow-up development after seeing it. The role of Leonardo has indeed improved a lot compared to "The Aviator". It has a style of its own.”

The film critics chatted in low voices. The movie premiere itself is not bound by the customary movie viewing rules, not to mention that they and the selected ordinary movie fans are seated separately, so they can't affect that side.

"Martin is still Martin, and his underworld movies have to be second to none."

On the other side of the viewing hall, the fans who were lucky enough to be drawn to participate in the premiere kept their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open throughout.

"The picture that I never imagined before actually appeared!!! My two favorite people are in the same frame!!! Although they play the role of old enemies...but I am still so excited and happy!!!"

"I definitely want to rewatch this movie five times. I'm so excited to go now. After watching it for half an hour, I only know that the ending will be bad! All my attention is on Moon Demon and Li Zi!"

"Hold the grass! It's better than expected! I think I can write a [-]-word film review when I go back!"

This is no longer a simple remake of buying the copyright. "The Departed" has been cast into the soul of director Martin Scorsese. Bloodline, turned into an out-and-out American-style gangster film.

Since "Gangs of New York", Martin Scorsese's directorial style has been moving in a more sophisticated and critical direction. very subtle effect—

High-end professional people praise it because they can understand the deep-seated things in Martin's movies.

Ordinary movie fans and audiences like and give high marks because ordinary people can also get resonance and pleasure from watching movies.

In addition, Martin has failed many nominations from the 70s and 80s to the present. It was not until the past two years that he was "faced up" by the Academy. As the most qualified to win the Oscar, he was defeated again and again.Since "Hidden" and "The Aviator", Martin once again tried his best gangster film, and combined his most promising team in the past few years to bring "The Departed" to the big screen at the end of the summer file .

With several advantages and blessings, the explosion of "The Departed Walker" is already a certainty.

As the plot of the movie gradually reached its climax, the fateful confrontation between Billy and Colin finally ended in a complete tragedy, and Infernal Affairs still could not reach a perfect ending of "salvation".

Compared with the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", the fast pace of "Infernal Affairs" is closer to the essence of American gangster films. This is also the part where Martin can best demonstrate his directorial skills. He has thoroughly captured the essence of the original "Infernal Affairs" Absorb and transform the soul with the "Martin Scorsese" symbol, and then through the interpretation of the actors, a completely different work will be generated.

The most typical scene is the "Rooftop Trial". The professional filmmakers and film critics who came to watch the ceremony clearly felt the cultural differences between China and the United States.Leaving aside the preconceived impression of the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", it is difficult to break, but since the filmmakers here are mainly from the North American film industry, they are actually more able to accept the form of expression of "Infernal Affairs".

Although the Chinese style of slowness and restraint is also aesthetically pleasing, it is not a form of expression that is always favored by North American films.

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of cultural differences.

This conclusion was deeply reflected after the premiere day——

The media invited to the premiere received almost one-sided praise. This phenomenon of word-of-mouth popularity from the premiere continued until "The Departed" sat firmly at the top of the North American box office for four weeks, and the box office easily exceeded 1 million US dollars. It has been successfully screened in ten countries including Europe, America and Asia.

Especially in Asia, with "Infernal Affairs" in the forefront, the remake of "Infernal Affairs" is not pleasing to Asian audiences to some extent.But this does not affect the menacing sweep of "The Departed".

"It doesn't feel as delicate as "Infernal Affairs". Without the subtle and introverted feeling, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't feel as good as "Infernal Affairs."

"It can only be said that cultural differences really have a great impact. There is no doubt about Martin's technique, and Vincent's performance made me more sure of his level of actor. Li Zi really improved compared to last year, but this drama is more prominent It’s Vincent. Tony Leung’s interpretation is like a suit commercial, and Vincent does it better.”

"The American style is also very attractive. After a movie, it is completely cool. From the beginning to the end, the spirit is highly concentrated, and it is super cool to watch! I like "Infernal Affairs" and "The Departed". Each has its own merits, and according to the great harvest of "Infernal Affairs" at the film festival that year, this year's Oscar "The Infernal Affairs" should also be the undoubted big winner!"

"The situation is much better than expected. This is no longer a simple remake. This is a gangster movie with an American soul. The rhythm of American interpretation cannot be learned from Asian movies, which is why Hollywood movies are more attractive. reason."

"The Departed Walker" has Leonardo and Vincent's two guarantee signs, and it successfully serves as the last wave of climax before the end of the summer file, and has confirmed its position in the annual North American box office list.

And the pairing method of the two young leading actors has officially entered the field of vision of major film companies-this movie is not only a victory for Martin alone, but also a victory for the leading actors!

Vincent and Leonardo, one was originally a hospital of the $2000 million club before the filming started, and the other accepted the standard treatment of club members even though there was no formal entry threshold: except for the expensive movie In addition to the remuneration, there is also a certain share of box office dividends.

The co-stars of the two not only earned a lot of word of mouth, but also a steady stream of dollars rolled into the bank accounts of the two!

Prior to this, the combination of veteran actors and Mesozoic actors has always been the standard configuration for winning awards. Now "The Departed Walker" has entered the public's field of vision with a strong and sweeping posture after a delay of one year, and the execution of the Olympic Games is clearly visible.

For a while, the workload of Vincent and Leonardo increased sharply. Except that Vincent always did not fall in love with fashion magazines and would not refuse invitations from top mainstream magazines. streamline.

He had been busy contacting Cartier for cooperation matters before, and because the other party was still hesitant to include Vincent in the list of global brand friends on his official website, Frank did not lower his stance because of this—today you are right I don't care about it, I changed my name and I took the actor and entered the list of big names, so don't bother me anymore.

The disgusting impression of Burberry three years ago still remains in Frank's mind, causing him to have a very high sense of defense against all brands that try to establish partnerships. Vincent is young. Before he became an Oscar winner, Only Galavani dared to take the risk of signing someone, and now he is earning a lot of money.When Vincent won the Best Actor award, there were still brands that made the vicious assumption of "what if Vincent's word of mouth overturns in the future", and pressed the conditions again and again.

Vincent didn't know about these things, but Frank followed the team and was furious first-do you want to love it or not!

Cartier’s watches, pens and jewelry are all top-notch in the world. Except for the jewelry series, which has the only recognized international spokesperson Monica Bellucci, watches have always only been brand friends, and they are divided into series, region and region. Time.In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of approach is high-quality and high-standard. Cartier itself does not need to do anything, and does not need to invest in public relations hype. Those brand friends are fighting openly and secretly for the title. stand up.

The endorsement matter has been talked about intermittently since the end of last year in the summer, and Flack was the first to give up.When Galavani announced at the show conference of the new autumn clothes that he might build his own jewelry brand, this officially triggered Cartier's sense of crisis.

Vincent, on the other hand, entrusted these matters to the agent. He is currently preparing for an audition for a new movie. He said that he is not very busy, but he has no free time.Frank wanted to counter-press Cartier's bottom line, but he restrained himself from letting go.

Since September, "The Departed" has completed the box office dominance of the global box office for two months. The imdb score has soared to 8.1, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes remains high.

During this period, Vincent and Leonardo made two talk shows according to the itinerary.One was in charge of a sensational Oprah talk show, and the other was a friendly and relaxed Ellen show. The former was about talking about movies in a serious way, and the latter was for netizens to prevent Vincent from disappearing for a long time again. Teddy and Leonardo packed their votes into the show's guest candidates.

Ai Lunxiu also quickly sent an invitation, and under Leonardo's eager eyes, Vincent nodded and agreed.

"What do you think of your partner?"

Amid the booing and screaming that erupted just after the opening game, Ellen DeGeneres asked Vincent.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed young man was wearing a simple vertical striped shirt and tied it into black trousers. After hearing the question, he leaned back, tilted his head slightly, and frowned at Leonardo , "That's it."

There was another scream off the court, Leonardo pretended to be puzzled, "Does this mean you appreciate me very much?"

The host Allen shook his head: "Obviously not."

Vincent immediately changed his smile and nodded to Ellen DeGeneres.

"It's just a program effect!" Leonardo pressed his hands towards the audience to signal that the screaming and laughter on the stage could stop, but obviously no one paid attention to it, and the program started to enter a small climax of ratings just after the opening.
