[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

After the interview, Claire waited expectantly for news from Martin. Logically speaking, after Martin got the investment, the filming plan of "Desperate Housewives" was completed.

For several weeks, Martin was running around investing.

During class, Claire receives a call from Martin, with good news and bad news.

Martin tactfully told Claire, "ABC is ready to take over the job, but the director may be replaced by the producer's son."

"The son of the producer?" Claire was looking forward to the result, after all, this is not just a job, she also really likes "Desperate Housewives".

Martin said sadly: "Claire, I'm sorry." He also negotiated with the producer for a long time, but to no avail.

In terms of power and responsibility, the director is responsible to the producer, and the producer is responsible to the investor.For the producer, the director is just one of the employees of the entire production team.You can pack up and leave in minutes.

Taking "Gone with the Wind" as an example, a total of 5 directors have been changed before and after.In the end, only Victor Fleming was signed to direct, and the other two directors, George Cuoco and Sam Wood, did not appear on the credits.

A Hollywood producer is usually omnipotent, and he will start with selecting a script.After finding the script and actors, then find the director. If there is any disagreement with the director, the director will be fired.

Compared with China, the status of directors in the United States is low enough.

This is why well-known foreign directors generally have their own production companies, in order not to restrict others.

Claire could feel Martin's helplessness, so she had to say that she understood.

After hanging up the phone, Claire knew that she had lost this opportunity. Judging from all aspects of "Desperate Housewives", she, like Martin, was full of confidence in this show.

But that success belongs to the producer's son.Claire thought slightly bitterly.

But in an instant she cheered up again, there are many good opportunities, she is still so young, she has a longer way to go.

After Phillips heard the news,

He said to Claire: "Forget it! Claire, housewives can't show your cult movie temperament."

"It would be a disaster, haha!" Phillips said reassuringly.

Claire refuted him: "I don't always want to make cult films!" Obviously "Inhumans" left a big stereotype on Phillips.

He said, "Listen to you and listen to you."

"Forget housewives, get ready to apply for Sundance!"

Claire leaves Phillips' office after telling him she doesn't need reassurance.

CAA is full of people and stars.

Claire said that she got off an elevator just now, and walked a short distance around a few corners. If her eyes were not blurred, she saw Nicolas Cage and Brad Pitt respectively.

"Oh, my God, is that Tom Cruise?" Claire looked at a man sitting on the sofa reading a magazine in the distance.

After being severely swiped through his brain, Claire left the building with his bag on his back.

She trot to the side of the road, ready to cross the road for the return bus.

The person standing in front of Claire is now wearing a hat, and the face cannot be seen clearly. Only his long chin can be seen from the side. He is a middle-aged man.

Claire saw that he looked familiar, so she took a few more glances.Although there are too many familiar people along the way.

Then she found that this man was always looking at the feet of passing women, and there was a mysterious smile on his mouth.

Claire was a little surprised and thought for a while: "Foot fetish??"

Then I contacted the face I saw, "It can't be him."

At this time, a speeding truck passed by.

This person is on the zebra crossing, a little closer to the middle of the road.

The United States stipulates that if there are pedestrians or people who are trying to pass on the zebra crossing or at the intersection, the pedestrian must first let the pedestrian pass before the car is allowed to pass.The United States also regards "pedestrians give priority, cars let people" as the basic principle of traffic rules.As long as pedestrians walk on the crosswalk, all vehicles must stop to give way.

The speed of this truck is also too fast, it is estimated that the ticket will not be able to escape.

"Go back." Claire pulled the man back.

In fact, the man had already spotted the approaching car and was about to back away, but Claire tugged him again, and the man raised his foot comically, swinging his arms wildly.

Claire couldn't help laughing, and said sincerely, "Sorry."

The man was very polite: "Thank you." It's no wonder that Claire was a disservice.

Instead, Claire saw the man's face, fell silent for a moment, and said to the man, "Mr. Quentin?"

Quentin raised his head, showing his long chin, and said to her, "You know me? Yes, I am Quentin."

He thought Claire was his fan, "Do you want to sign?"

Claire said, "Yes."

Quentin said a wisecrack, and took out a pen and paper from his pocket, "I didn't expect my movie to have such a beautiful female fan as you."

"Yes." Claire smiled at Quentin, "I'm also a director."

Quentin asked, "What are you shooting?"

"Let's see, I'm doing a B-movie right now," Claire said.

Quentin blinked his right eye at Claire, the innocence of an old man, and said, "Miss, I also started in B-movies."

The relationship between the two people was drawn closer at once.

He quickly became famous as a director with a unique style in the 20s. He is good at telling non-linear stories, unforgettable dialogues and bloody scenes, and carried forward the black violence style of American B-level movies.

Clare's Inhumans certainly falls into this category with its low budget, narrow audience.

In 1991, with the $5 he earned from selling the script of "Deadly Romance", he decided to shoot his third script "Reservoir Dogs" in 1992, a cult film.

"I love your violent aesthetic," Claire said.

She said bluntly: "Although it is more like a hodgepodge."

There is no doubt that Quentin has extraordinary talent in script creation and narrative techniques. The narrative method of a "Pulp Fiction" has rewritten the history of film.

But as a self-taught director, Quentin almost copied his own "film reserve" in shooting techniques, and every shot can see the shadow of his predecessors. For example, the dance scene in "Pulp Fiction" is A complete copy of Godard's "Outlaws".

In this regard, Quentin does not deny it at all, and he even hates when others use words like "tribute" or "reference" to modify his behavior.

Frank Quentin Tarantino.

Quentin laughed, "Is the movie good?"

"nice."

He asked again, "What size shoes do you wear?"

"40." Claire's height is 178.

Based on Quentin's years of experience watching feet, "That's really not small."

Claire's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but want to do it.
