On the eve of the comeback 476 war, looking at Brad, who had matured a lot in front of him, Tracy curled the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Sweet dream." ”

Brad scratched his head vigorously in annoyance, "At least I was nominated and I got the judges' vote, and as far as I know, I was the second in the Best Actor vote!"

Tracy didn't speak, just pouted, but the answer couldn't be more obvious: second place doesn't equal the best actor.

Not long ago, the independent film "California Killer" starring Brad was officially released, won good praise, won the award for best artistic contribution at the "Montlier" International Film Festival, and at the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in the world, although it did not compete for the Golden Lion, it was very competitive in the Best Actor award.

Unfortunately, in the end, Brad unfortunately lost to the Italian actor Fabrizio and Bandifo Glio (fabrizi0. Beivoglio), Fabrizio relied on the "split soul (AA. divisa。 in。 due, un,)", the "fine" color performance won the best actor. After the awards came out, there was gossip that Brad was the second-most voted, but he lost. And Martin Baum, who is far away on the other side of the ocean, due to a little error in the news, released the news early that "Brad Pitt won the title of Best Actor at the 50th Venice Film Festival...... and it turned out to be a big oolong.

However, because Fabrizio's influence in the world is far inferior to Brad's, not only because the influence of Italian films is not as good as Hollywood, but also because of the huge operating capacity of the agency behind Brad. So the news released by Martin has not had time to be confirmed, but it has already spread to the world, so that many people still think that Brad relied on the "California Killer" to get the Venice actor twenty years later, but this is a complete misunderstanding.

Seeing Tracy's expression, Brad felt annoyed inside, "But at least it shows that I have enough potential." ”

"Of course you have potential, otherwise why would I put you in the cast of 'Farewell to Love'!" Tracy immediately made Brad turn off the flame, "But what I need is not just potential, but amazing! I need someone to stand up and fight Hugo!"

Hugo as soon as Lancaster, this name has become a huge problem for Tracy and Brad, from "smelling the 'woman'" to "Yihai Xiongfeng" to "Seattle Sleepless" Hugo is unstoppable, and now, "Schindler's list" is their last chance to snipe, if this opportunity is missed, the future confrontation will only be more difficult. Therefore, "Farewell to the Sentient Heaven" only allows victory, not defeat! Moreover, they also have to pray for the defeat of "Schindler's List" after that!

After the release of "Farewell to Love" two weeks ago, it really continued the director James Ivori's consistent super high quality, and won a lot of applause from the media, with a comprehensive media score of 84 points, of which the "New York Times" and "Washington Post" gave full marks, and praised the performances of Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, and Brad as a supporting actor also received a positive response. But it's a pity that the theater score is only "8", obviously, the audience is not interested in this type of movie.

In fact, last year's "Howard Estate" won a lot of praise from the entire film critics, but the box office was only 25 million, which is definitely a well-received art film, which is the consistent style of director James Ivori, whose works can bloom in the eyes of professionals, but it is difficult to make a difference in the box office market.

"Farewell to Love" was screened in 100 theaters in the first week of its release, and the box office figures achieved were unsatisfactory, and the box office of 16,000 US dollars in a single theater can even be said to be a failed number; In the second week, it continued to be screened in 200 theaters, but the single-theater box office of $9,000 was still unbearable, and the cumulative box office in the two weeks of release was only less than 4 million.

Maybe this is not a tragic number for an investment, but it must be noted that this is an on-demand screening, and the on-demand screening is the feedback of professional film 'fans', but the low 'fans' of the single-theater box office indicate that the prospect of recovering the book cost of this film is worrying.

At the same time, after comparing this number with the screening results of James's other two works, people have to worry, "Howard Manor" has a single box office of 52,000 US dollars, and "Morris's Lover" has a single box office of 49,000 US dollars, so the 16,000 US dollars of "Farewell to Love" is embarrassing.

What's more, "Farewell to Lovers" is faced with the "Schindler's List" is Steven Spielberg, and a comprehensive media score of only 84 points is not enough.

"Schindler's List" is a real historical event that is easy to win the favor of professionals, and it is also a human self-reflection on war and peace, which is very popular; Steven and Spielberg are known as commercial directors, and his box office appeal is currently second to none in the United States, plus a strong rise of Hugo who relies on "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Seattle Sleepless", the film also seems to have an innate advantage in terms of box office.

I have to say that the duel between "Farewell to the Sentient Heaven" and "Schindler's List" is the showdown between Mars and the Earth!

At present, the entire film professional media is still conservative about the prospect of "Schindler's List", and the "Hollywood Reporter" sentence is the most representative of 'sex', "This is a story that can become a classic, the question is, how will Spielberg present it?" This sentence is arguably the most common view at the moment.

Everyone knows that a good movie must first have a good story, and the entire Hollywood has never relaxed its emphasis on the script, even if it is a visual effects blockbuster, a simple and twisty story is very important, such as "Terminator 2". And the story of Oscar and Schindler is undoubtedly a good story, this is a real historical event, not a fiction made up by screenwriters relying on their heads, and what Schindler did during World War II is a legend that deserves to be admired by future generations.

So, does having a good story mean having a good movie? In a pig's eye. The simplest example is the later "Harry and 'Port'" series, the entire series has a total of eight films, but the reputation of the eight movies is mixed, no one will deny the "brilliance" of the original story, but the effect presented by the director cannot satisfy people. That's what the director does, and that's what makes every film stand out.

A director who is "good" should use the right and appropriate way to tell the story, and then present a "good" movie. Steven is a 'colorful' commercial director, "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", "Alien E." T" are all masterpieces, but his lack of humanistic care, as well as his method of flattering the audience too much and focusing too much on commercial rendering during the filming process, have been criticized, which is why Steven has never been recognized by the Oscars.

So, will Steven be able to tell the story of Oscar Schindler in the "right" way? Maybe he will ruin this great story, but maybe he will make this amazing legend come true.

In such an ambiguous wait-and-see attitude, the premiere of "Schindler's List" is undoubtedly lively, and media reporters and professionals are waiting for the release of the film with a good attitude, which can be seen from the media's prediction of the box office of the film premiere, because "Schindler's List" is going to be screened, so the media is predicting a single box office, and the number of $20,000 for a single theater is very conservative - and there is only one media "Entertainment Weekly", which is not even a professional film media. It can be seen that everyone is cautious, and those professional film media hope to wait until the premiere is over before making a conclusion.

This wait-and-see attitude has formed a huge pressure for Tracy and Brad, including Martin Baum and Ron Meyer, the former is in the same camp as Brad, and naturally hopes that "Farewell to Love" can be successful; The latter hoped that the failure of "Schindler's List" would further divide Hugo and Joseph, but for whatever reason, the results achieved after the release of "Farewell to Lovers" did not meet expectations, and even a comprehensive media review of 84 points was not enough to dispel the panic in the heart.

Brad looked at Tracy sitting on the windowsill, she was a little flustered, a little scared, a little uneasy, but more hateful, and then Brad watched Tracy firm little by little, and that kind of determination made Brad look a little frightened, "Tracy, we will defeat Hugo!" Brad had to speak, hoping to increase his courage in this way.

The 'woman' who is caught in madness will always make people feel afraid.

After Tracy calmed down, a smile appeared on her lips, "Yes, we will!" Tracy clenched her fists tightly, she wouldn't let Hugo succeed, because that negative man didn't deserve it! Don't say "Schindler's list", even if Hugo succeeds this time, no matter how difficult the situation is, she will continue until the day when Hugo is pulled off the horse! The two of them are either you dead or I live! So, since panic won't solve the problem, let's calm down and start with "Schindler's List"!

The confrontation between "Farewell to Sentient Heaven" and "Schindler's List" has just begun, and the conclusion has not yet been reached!

On November 17th, it was just an ordinary Wednesday, but it was made different by the premiere of "Schindler's List", and it became a dark 'tide' because of this duel under the calm sea that only insiders vaguely know! Who is the hand of the deer, the first round is about to beat the war drums, and "Farewell to Love" has been posted, so what answer will "Schindler's list" "hand in"?
