[US Entertainment] Best Director

The British box office of "Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride" finally stopped at 2100 million. Compared with the cost of 600 million, the BBC can be said to have made a lot of money, but the BBC executives are not satisfied with the income of 2100 million in the UK. Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride was put into the US market to explore the risks for the next "Doctor Who: The Time of the Doctor".

Prairis couldn't help frowning when she heard the news. The sci-fi film was made at a cost of 600 million, although she deliberately didn't bring the whole film to "visual sci-fi" in the later stage, and instead focused on the humanistic care of "Doctor Who", It even deliberately used a relatively low-cost "sound effect" to save the "cheap feeling" brought by the entire 600w sci-fi film, but this does not mean that "Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride" can go directly to Hollywood and those who are easy to use. Big productions with a cost of [-] million are competing on the same stage.

In the UK, audiences like "sentimental" movies, but Hollywood is different. In Hollywood, people advocate visual bombing, and "Runaway Bride", which mainly sells feelings, may not be as successful in Hollywood as it is in the UK. This is why Hollywood welcomes British actors, but the reason for rejecting British directors is that the two are different in terms of shooting audiences.

But Georgina's view is obviously different from that of Prairis. She thinks that since the BBC has ambitions to expand the market, let him go. Anyway, Prairis has proved to the market that she is not just a As a "literary film" director, she can make commercial works, and she can even make a lot of money. As for the follow-up of this film, it has nothing to do with her. Prairie has nothing to do.

Georgina's character has always been one-sided, and she has a good vision for film selection, which makes her stand out as a woman from the BBC's male producers.

0 However, the defect of this character is also obvious, that is, tyranny, and has a huge desire to manage the customers under him.

Prairie doesn't like this kind of agent who is too strong and interferes too much with her works, but Georgina is kind to her, and even quit her job at the BBC to concentrate on taking care of her, so at this moment, although she doesn't I agree with Georgina's point of view, but I can only frown and hang up the phone.

"Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride" entered 326 theaters in the United States at the end of September, competing with "Garfield 2" and "007" over the same period.

As Prairis expected, after the box office came out in the first week, "Doctor Who: The Runaway Bride" ranked first among the films in the same period with a score of 32w, and the theaters quickly fell to 90, 60, and 30, IMDB The online rating also fell from 7.9 to 6.3 in two weeks.

Even Pryreth's Facebook page has a lot of sarcasm.

"Want to make it to Hollywood? Naive."

"I started to be a fan of "Finger Artisan". At first, I thought you were a girl who was serious about making movies, but I didn't expect you to become a fan so soon, making some kind of rubbish sci-fi movies. I'm no longer a fan, goodbye."

"What's the reward for engaging in American theaters with a shy face? How does your Hollywood dad teach you to be a man?"

Amidst all the cursing, Prairis still nestled in the apartment as motionless as a mountain.

This is the seventh day she has been cooped up at home. During these seven days, she turned off all social tools and devoted herself to script selection.

Since "Finger's Love", Prairis has received some script invitations one after another, but most of them are TV dramas. In addition, she did not read these scripts after receiving "Doctor Who".

Now that "Doctor Who" has been released, and the reputation of the BBC has not been good, this makes the choice of Prairie's next film crucial.

Prairis was not sure that he could save the reputation of "Letters from Iwo Jima", so he called Spielberg before the retreat and refused to shoot "Letters from Iwo Jima". After hearing about it, Spielberg expressed regret, but still wished Prairis was able to find her favorite script, and after careful consideration, Prairis decided to choose a low-cost literary film, similar to "Submarine" and "Fish Tank".

But good scripts are always hard to come by, not to mention it is the end of the year, and good scripts are almost finished in the first half of the year, which is even more rare. Prairis managed to find two scripts after searching for a week in retreat. There are two "can shoot", one is "Atonement" under Universal, and the other is "City of End" invested by Jon Bush.

Of the two scripts, Pryris prefers the former.

One is because the theme of "Atonement" makes it easier for him to win the award, and the other is that Prairis was a die-hard fan of the original author McEwan in his previous life.

What could be more fun than remaking a script by one of your favorite authors?

So Prairis chose "Atonement" without thinking.

Picking up the cell phone that had been dusty for a week, Prairis dialed McEwan at the number given by the union.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hi Mr. McEwan, I'm Prairie Skland, the investment company of your work "Atonement" delivered the script to me a few days ago."

"I know you. I've seen your 'Finger'. I have to say, it's terrible, and I don't want to see your messy lighting again in mine," McEwan said.

Just like the rumored bad temper.

Prairie blinked.

"If the show doesn't need this kind of lighting, then I won't use it."

McEwan snorted, "There are also actors. I have the right to choose the actors I like."

"Naturally," said Prairice.

McEwan's face was slightly clear.

"But I think that a movie is a secondary creation of a script, and as a director, I also have the right to choose my favorite actors."

McEwan's face darkened immediately.

"This is my novel."

"This is my episode."

Prairie didn't think twice.

McEwan was a little annoyed. It had been a long time since he had been famous for so many years, and no one had talked to him like that. All the directors he met in these years would give him a little bit of shame, but today, this young girl dared to talk to him. He choked?

Just as McEwan was racking his brains for something to say, Prairis on the other end of the phone spoke again.

"I changed the script a little bit. It has been sent to your email. You can open it and have a look."

McEwan's anger was half-stored when he was interrupted by Prairie, so he had to hold back his anger and open the mailbox.

This time, he exploded directly.

"My Dunkirk retreat??? You deleted it all???"

"Exactly. I don't think it's necessary."

"It's not necessary? Do you understand the connotation of the Dunkirk evacuation? How can you express the atmosphere of the times without this?? What about the artistic conception of the whole movie??? This movie is a fart!" McEwan burst out angrily foul language.

"I think what this movie wants to amplify is the 'British Elegy', not the war epic. This kind of large-scale description of the Dunkirk retreat is completely unnecessary, but it will make the whole movie slow down." Prairius road.

"Dragging fart! What do you know about British elegy! You go and tell Jones of Universal! If you dare to drop a word from my script, this movie will not be made!" McJonn felt that his strength was being questioned, and roared angrily. road.

"OK, I'll talk to Jones." Prairie winked. "But for now, do it my way."

"......"

McConnell hung up the phone.

Prairis blinked at the beeping on the other end of the phone.
