[US Entertainment] Best Director

James eventually returned the premiere ticket to Jon Landau.

It wasn't that he didn't want to watch it, but it was only when he got home that he also received a copy, and the seats were in the best row in the theater.

August [-]th.

James Cameron arrived at the semi-old theater in the suburbs early in the morning according to the address on the ticket stub.

Looking at the dilapidated theater in front of him, James Cameron raised his eyebrows and checked again and again before entering hesitantly.

This is a poorly run theater that can't even afford to hire a ticket inspector.

James Cameron tore off the ticket stub himself and put it in front of the counter.

The conductor lay on his seat drowsily, completely unaware of what he had missed.

James Cameron entered, took his seat, and looked around, only to find many familiar faces.

Leo, Kate, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Quentin Tarantino and even his ex-wife, Katherine Bigelow.

He squinted at Hollywood's top film critic Sean Thorpe and James.hawk.

At this time, James Cameron realized belatedly that this was a movie theater, which was aimed at the Hollywood movie theater by the young director named Prairie Clander. point screening field.

remarkably brave.

At least when he was young, he would not have dared to hold such a screening that gathered all the big names in Hollywood.

But courage is not enough in this industry.

Ultimately, the work has to speak for itself.

James raised an eyebrow.

Steven Spielberg, dressed in black casual clothes, sat next to James.

"Hi, James." Steven Spielberg winked playfully.

And this Hollywood tyrant—James Cameron just glanced at it and nodded slightly.

Spielberg wasn't embarrassed.

He sat down, looked around, and finally brought his eyes back to James Cameron's face.

He didn't deliberately hide his relationship with Prairis, but said it with complacency.

"I heard from my apprentice that you plan to use Dolby Atmos in the new movie?"

"kindness."

"Have you watched "Letters from Iwo Jima"? It won the best picture Oscar this year. You know, oh, this is the first appearance of Dolby Atmos on the big screen."

"Looked."

"How about it?"

Spielberg looked at James Cameron expectantly.

"Childish, hypocritical, sensational." James Cameron replied blankly.

"......"

He clearly heard that after watching "Letters from Iwo Jima", he ordered his assistant to buy DVDs of all of Prairie's film and television works so far! Including "Alone"!

Oh, this old guy who wants to save face.

Spielberg snorted.

James Cameron, on the other hand, ignored Spielberg's humming and cast his eyes on the screen, even though the movie hadn't started yet, just playing some irrelevant commercials.

He really didn't like "Letters from Iwo Jima", because he always felt that "Letters from Iwo Jima" was a bit like Spielberg on some levels, at least in those wanton, old-fashioned slow motion, without his own style, but he likes "Fingering Love Challenge" very much.

James Cameron saw "Fingering Love" first.

In this British drama of only three episodes, the young girl takes Elaine Cassidy and Sally Hawkins beautifully - like a wild rose that grows wantonly in the gap age. With the coming of dew.

James Cameron likes this elegant and nervous style very much.

At least in his eyes, this is a work worthy of any applause.

Inadvertently, he learned that the director who directed this work was a young girl who was only nineteen.

He once thought about taking her as his apprentice, but at that time there was a problem with the investment chain of "Avatar", he was busy dealing with it, and only found out when the investment was finally settled and he was finally free, old guy Spielberg He preemptively accepted Praris as an apprentice, and even sent "Letters from Iwo Jima" to this girl.

James Cameron can only say that this girl has no relationship with him as a mentor.

James Cameron went to the theater to watch the movie after "Letters from Iwo Jima" was released and he won No. 12 Oscar nominations for the fifth Oscar in his life for producer Spielberg.

As a result, I was disappointed.

Maybe watching this movie for the first time will feel that the director is quite inspirational, but as he has seen her previous works, he just feels that it is tasteless and a pity to discard it.

The caustic, even aura-like personality she had in "Fingercraft" is completely gone.

The deliberate American style obviously learned a bit from Spielberg, but at the same time, it also made her lose herself.

Later he also heard that Spielberg wanted the young girl to do some commercials.

James Cameron scoffed at this stupid decision.

Spielberg is an excellent director, but that doesn't mean he is an excellent teacher.

Spielberg's path to success cannot be replicated.

Similarly, not everyone can digest Spielberg's theory of "equal emphasis on business and literature".

—at least not Praris.

At least not now.

Now she is more than fierce but not gentle enough. Even if "Letters from Iwo Jima" was taken as an example, it is not enough to prove that she has digested the American way. It can only show that she has a few brushes in imitating Spielberg.

She is too artistic, too European.

Any commercial film currently on the market would destroy her most valuable personal trait.

But Spielberg seemed determined to lead her down the commercial path, even approaching The Wolverine for her.

James Cameron nearly stood up when he heard the news.

"Wolverine"?

Is Spielberg serious?

Does he think everyone can digest all film forms as well as he?

When he could hardly resist running to question Spielberg, he received another message.

The girl turned down a commercial.

James Cameron breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, I also started to worry.

This girl is too European.

At present, she can indeed make a few more literary films to confirm her status as a "famous European philosophical director".

But what about later?

Continue to make literary films?

The fact that this girl has Spielberg as her teacher shows that she has a desire for "business".

But the fierce style that made her famous mercilessly restricted the way she filmed scenes.

It's the same with actors.

Isabelle Adjani is the eternal French goddess. She may win numerous Caesar awards, or she may be able to perform superbly and look sad, but her sometimes gentle, sometimes stubborn, and even slightly neurotic temperament determines her forever. Nor can it break into the Hollywood mainstream.

Adjani is a natural European literary actor, and Prairis is also a natural European literary director.

Their business path is too difficult.

Unconsciously, James Cameron frowned.

In the silence, the film began to show.

It starts with Bach and ends with loneliness.

James retraces Sagan's life in slow, graceful footage.

Wait until the last moment when the camera pans to the gray sky of France outside the window.

He stood up and clapped.

Then came the second, the third......

Nearly the audience burst into roaring applause.

James even noticed that Sean Thorpe, a notoriously tongue-in-cheek film critic, had tears in his eyes.

The bursts of "Br□□o" almost wiped out the theater.

James Cameron quietly waited for the exit of the crowd.

Until Spielberg was about to take a step.

He stood in Spielberg's way.

"She's a natural European director."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Only the famous Hollywood director Steven Spielberg with a bewildered face remained.

Cinema hall.

The conductor was awakened from his dream by almost roaring applause.

Waves of applause resounded through the thin walls in the hall.

For a moment she thought she was dreaming.

She hadn't seen anything like it since she'd worked at the theater, not even when it was a thriving place many years ago.

And now, it's almost closed down, so what's the matter with the waves of non-stop applause?

Before the conductor woke up, someone came out from the exit.

They are: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr.......

The conductor rubbed his eyes.

Muttering "must be dreaming".
