Chapter 737 Time is like running water
In fact, Scarlett is fighting against the box office alone and has a good movie called "Super Body". When the time comes, we can work it out and let other directors direct it.
The movie that little Gilbert prepared for Scarlett to compete for Oscars was another movie.
But when the time comes, I hope the Oscar judges will be able to ignore that Scarlett starred in a superhero movie and give her this recognition.
But it’s not difficult to think about it. After all, Joaquin Phoenix can win the best actor award with “Joker”.
Scarlett is not starring in a superhero movie yet. When the park work is done well, it will not be very difficult to get the Best Actress trophy.
There are no very competitive films in March. "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li", which was released at the same time as "Knives Out", has been in theaters for three weeks and has a box office of over 15 million US dollars.
However, in the third week of "Knives Out", the film did not retain the weekly box office title. Instead, it was won by the new film "Wedding Live".
"How's it going? Little Gilbert, my new movie is pretty good!"
Anne Hathaway is very happy, "Wedding Days" is a low-budget romantic comedy between her and Kate Hudson.
It took in US$22.3 million at the box office in its first week of release, successfully defeating "Knives Out" and winning the weekly box office championship.
Little Gilbert satisfied Anne Hathaway: "Wow, our elf princess is so powerful, she can actually defeat the famous Little Gilbert.
It’s not simple! ”
"Cluck, cluck..." Anne Hathaway laughed out loud.
"Yes, of course the elf princess is powerful.
But our great Hollywood directors must also work hard and struggle! ”
"Hahaha, okay, okay."
It's okay to joke a little with each other, but the headlines in the media are very interesting.
For example, the "Hollywood Reporter" used the headline "Little Gilbert was defeated by his fifth wife" to report that "Wedding Fight" ended the three consecutive championships of "Knives Out".
However, at the end of this week, the North American box office of "Knives Out" reached US$143.6 million, and the global box office also reached US$269.72 million.
For a film with a cost of US$40 million and less than US$100 million including promotion and distribution, this result is actually quite good.
I believe it is not difficult to make profits through box office, and the focus of profit for suspense films is the copyright market.
Although there are many video websites such as Xigua Video and Netflix, the DVD market is still the most important peripheral revenue for Hollywood movies.
For fans of Little Gilbert, this result is hardly satisfactory.
After all, "The Dark Knight" grossed US$1.335 billion worldwide and was the North American and global box office champion last year. Fans used this movie to confront the anti-fans and achieved great success.
There is a saying among fans that maybe Little Gilbert doesn't need to win the North American and global box office, but movie fans do.
Because no matter how many box office hits Little Gilbert has, those tough-talking fans still refuse to acknowledge his achievements. Therefore, movie fans need little Gilbert to continue to win the box office championship and smear the faces of anti-fans.
From this aspect, Gilbert Jr. and Faker, the former League of Legends e-sports player, are on the same level.
No matter how many championships Faker wins, some idiots in the LPL will always be harsh. After the ancient champions came the custom champions, and after the custom champions came the industry champions.
Faker has personal limits just like little Gilbert, but the mouths of anti-fans have no limits.
By the way, Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, has been acquired by Banana Company and became one of its subsidiaries.
Little Gilbert is not an avid player, but he is still aware of the e-sports wave set off by League of Legends, so he takes advantage of it first.
The time has come to April, and two new movies were released on April 3, "Earth Dad" and "Monsters vs. Aliens". However, these two films made little splash and basically caused no response.
On April 10, the movie "Dragon Ball: Evolution" adapted from the island nation's comics was released. This movie also has the participation of Hong Kong actor Yun Fat Chow, but he also has little sense of presence.
In recent years, there has been a shortage of themes in Hollywood, so much so that people have turned to island comics for inspiration, but most of the films produced are unsightly.
Kenneth Turan, who was once well-known as Little Gilbert Black, now changed tracks and became Little Gilbert, strongly criticized him.
He believes that Hollywood is not lacking in originality, but that film creators are lazy.
Kenneth Turan also took "Knives Out" as an example: "Facts have proved that as long as you create with your heart, you will always come up with a good story.
Little Gilbert is an example, take the movie seriously, take the audience seriously, and stop deceiving the audience. ”
The film directors who were scolded felt aggrieved. You put it lightly, but how many little Gilberts are there in Hollywood? It's not just that one.
In fact, the film directors are not really to blame; the biggest responsibility lies with the film companies.
Hollywood creators have never lacked original spirit, but the film company rejected overly risky choices in order to be on the safe side.

Film companies prefer to choose genres that have been proven in the film market to make insurance investments.
Not to mention the film companies, even little Gilbert himself is actually just as conservative.
Melon Studio receives about a thousand scripts from major Hollywood screenwriters or directors every year, more than a thousand scripts every year.
These screenwriters and directors hope that Gilbert Jr. will like their script and get investment.
But actually, have any of these scripts been put into preparation or recommended? The answer is none.
The ones that can get investment and recommendations are basically scripts written by Gilbert Jr., or by Gilbert Jr. looking for screenwriters to write them.
The backlog of scripts in those giant Hollywood companies is as large as a mountain and a sea. There are hundreds of thousands of scripts gathering dust in Disney's script library, but not many scripts have been put into the project approval stage.
So it's not that the directors and screenwriters lack originality, but the film company's conservatism stifles this originality.
And if you want to play like little Gilbert, you must at least achieve certain results, such as two consecutive movies that are hits. Only then will I be able to tell the film company that I want to create.
Let's talk about Kenneth Turan. After the famous film critic Roger Ebert retired due to physical reasons, he seized the market of Little Gilbert.
Now he has become the number one Little Gilbert fan. Basically, Little Gilbert brags about every movie he makes.
His shameless bragging made many people in the industry feel ashamed, but he was unexpectedly welcomed by Little Gilbert fans.
Perhaps it was this dog-licking bragging that made movie fans gradually forget that Kenneth Turan used to specifically blackmail Little Gilbert.
It can be seen that as long as there are benefits to be gained, there is no obstacle for people to change their stance.
After these minor films, the market finally welcomed a heavyweight movie, "Captain America" produced by Marvel Studios.
The film is produced by Gilbert Jr., produced by Kevin Feige, and directed by Joe Johnston.
Starring Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Hugo Weaving and others, with friends from Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson Cameo.
On April 17, it will land in North American theaters.
Before the film was released, a premiere was held in New York, which happens to be the home of Marvel Comics.
