Chapter 680 "La La City" is released
"Of course!" Wang Shu answered seriously.
Anne Hathaway pouted when she heard this. Although she didn't answer, her expression showed disbelief.
Wang Shulan didn't explain this.
Because, even if he explains, he can't explain clearly.
Although the heroine of "La La Land" in the original timeline was Sister Shi, no one else except him knew about this.
Anne Hathaway looked at him and pouted, "Didn't you say I'm suitable too?"
"So in your heart, is Emma more suitable than me?"
"Is it more suitable or more important?"
Wang Shu couldn't complain in his heart when he heard this, and said to himself, "Beauty, you have a boyfriend, why do you ask other men such questions openly?"
Is it a slack or not?
"Annie, you and Emma are both excellent actresses."
"Before La La Land, didn't you star in "Interstellar"?"
"Emma is also my friend, and she is also suitable for the role in the script, so..."
The tone was pretending to be helpless, and although she didn't finish it, Anne Hathaway understood it.
She and Sister Stone are one by one. She starred in "Interstellar", and Sister Stone starred in "La La Land".
Hearing this, she couldn't continue talking.
Although she really wants to star in both films, Wang Shu also said that Emma is also his friend...
Anne Hathaway curled her lips and did not answer any more.
After the two of them, Anne Hathaway followed Wang Shu to his apartment.
I stayed for more than two hours before leaving.
In the next few days, both model worker and Christine came to congratulate Wang Shu on his nomination for the Golden Globe Award.
Sister Shitou's nomination for Best Actress in the Golden Globe Awards has a great impact on them, making them more understand that even if Wang Shu finds a young actor, he can win the nomination for the movie award.
Even, you can win a prize!
In other words, if they also collaborate with Wang Shu on art films, they would have such an opportunity.
…………
Domestic.
Since the announcement of the Golden Globe nomination list, Fan Binbin's mood is not very good.
Since she starred in "La La Land", she has been looking forward to being nominated for the Golden Globe Award for American TV Films and even the Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress.
However, it was not done in the end.
It is said that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
She is now feeling particularly unhappy because she is disappointed.
For her, even if she is just nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, she is already very good at playing cards in China and can already rise to her status a step further.
Not only that, it is also a good thing that can slap Hua Yi in the face and be proud.
How to...
"Oh~" Fan Binbin sighed in his heart.
She knew very well that Wang Shu's strength was enough to win the international actress.
How can we collaborate with Wang Shu to play the heroine of the art film directed by him? The key is.
When Sister Shitou was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, her eyes were faint.
Maybe the way Wang Shu was treated wrong in the past.
Sometimes, there is no need to be twisted around, simple and rough may have miraculous effects!
…………
On December 30, the crew of "La La Land" held its premiere in Los Angeles.
As an art film, the premiere is not large in scale, and the crew only attends the cast and then has a simple interaction with the media.
Maybe the premiere of "La La Land" is not large, which is not only a problem with the art film, but also a reason for the cast.
If it is starring Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little
There can be starring Sister Shi and others at this stage. Except for Ryan Gosling who has a good reputation, everyone else is a young actor.
There is no need to have a large premiere in this kind of cast.
After all, the purpose of art films is to win awards, and box office is not the primary priority.
In addition, it costs money to hold a large premiere, so there is no need.
It’s like the national teacher Zhang Yimou. When he was filming a commercial film, the premiere was extremely grand.
When making art films, the premiere is much smaller.
After the premiere, a dinner was followed.
Whether it is Sister Shitou, Fan Binbin, Lily Coslin and others, they are all wearing the same costumes in the movie.
"La La Land" premiered in Los Angeles, and Fan Binbin naturally would not miss this opportunity to appear in front of American media cameras.
Therefore, even though she had a lot of itineraries, she squeezed out time to come to Los Angeles.
But I can't stay in Los Angeles for long, because of the itinerary, I have to rush back to China after the premiere. "Director Wang, I still have to catch a plane, so I left first." At the dinner, Fan Binbin found Wang Shu and said.
"Well, be careful on the road." Wang Shu said caring and polite words.
After hearing this, Fan Binbin smiled, then leaned into his ear and said with a smile: "I'll wait for you in the capital."
After saying that, he smiled beautifully and turned around and left casually.
Wang Shu looked at Fan Binbin's back and smiled.
…
In the early morning of December 31, "La La Land" was officially released in American cinemas.
January 1, 2011, New Year's Day.
The box office of "La La Land" was released yesterday, at $1,000.
As an art film, it has been a great success to be able to achieve a box office of tens of millions of dollars on the first day. However, for a big director like Wang Shu, it is a bit unsatisfactory.
Because La Liga had been nominated for the Golden Globes before its release, he did not miss this opportunity and marketed it.
As a result, it was only $1,000 on the first day.
Although it is very good, I can only expect the subsequent reputation to explode in the box office.
In the original timeline, La La Land's box office in North America was $342 million.
There is only US$1,000 on the first day, but it doesn’t seem to be able to reach 342 million.
But everything is not certain. It is only $1,000 on the first day, and then the word of mouth may ferment and box office growth will be strong.
However, regardless of whether the box office will grow strongly in the future, Wang Shu is not paying much attention.
Because the cost of "La La Land" is only more than 20 million US dollars, according to the rough algorithm of three times the cost, it only takes 70 to 80 million US dollars to make a box office.
The first day of the year, the box office exceeded 1000 million.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
So, "La La City" will definitely not lose money.
As for how much it can earn in the end, Wang Shu didn't care too much about it.
The main purpose of his filming is Oscars.
With the release of "La La Land", many reviews about movies have appeared on the Internet.
For example, after receiving the money to watch "La La Land" in the cinema, a Chinese film critic who wrote: "To be honest, at first, I had deep doubts about young directors from China making music and dance films...well, I had deep doubts."
"Later, "La La Land" not only nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, but also Wang Shu was nominated for Best Director. I realized that something was wrong, so I bought a ticket and walked into the cinema."
"As we all know, musical and dance films are no longer as common as they were in the 1930s and 1960s. Although we can still see a few movies every one or two years, most of these few musical and dance films are still standing still and can no longer restore the innocence and romance of their heyday."
"I watched "La La Land" in the cinema and found that it returned to nature to use the traditional Hollywood musical and dance films and the techniques of French director Jacques Demi's songs to tell a popular love story."
"From the costumes, songs to the choreography, we are creating a nostalgic tone, making people miss the old musical and dance films. However, it is still very modern to avoid alienating contemporary audiences."
"Yes,"Yes The spirit of exploration in musical and dance films also extends to the story level. "La La Land" uses sub-genres of musical and dance films (including: traditional MGM musical and dance films, Warner musical and big jazz and contemporary band films, concert films) to complement each other in each paragraph, with inheritance, and can bring out genre evolution, and have historical heritage. They can also serve the theme of love and achieve both internal and external cultivation."
"Director Wang Shu should know deeply how to maintain the style of the past and look forward. The male protagonist Seba is such a kind of music fan who misses the good times of the past. Compared with the outstanding contemporary musicians, he fell into an embarrassing situation - he was addicted to traditional jazz and could not extricate himself."
"The story of Seba, who formed the band in the film, said to him: 'I know, this is different (referring to contemporary bands), but you said you want to save jazz. If no one listens, how can you save it? Because of people like you, jazz is dying. You perform in the lighthouse coffee house against 90-year-olds. Where are the children? Where are the young people? You are obsessed with Kenny Clark and Theronis Monk. These people are innovators. If you stick to tradition, how can you become innovators? You hold the past and keep talking about the future'."
"This is something in the words, and the film also uses jazz to tell the song and dance films. The future. Contemporary song and dance films should not stick to the old rules. They should innovate while maintaining traditions, so that people can breathe fresh air, bring hope and glory, so that they can have flashing and lively vitality. This is why they were once very popular. "
" Compared with other types, song and dance films may be the ones who like to talk about love the most. The difference is that the characters are good at singing and dancing."
"Song and dance films also rely on formulaic creative routines the most, so they are often criticized for being 'natural and ridiculous'." "
"This view obviously misses the charm of using song and dance to show the story."
"The difficulty of singing and dancing films lies in controlling the balance between story and song and dance (music). "La La Land" successfully integrates song and dance into stories, promotes stories and replaces dialogue."
"But nowadays, there are almost zero stars who can perform concerts, dance and act. Ryan and Emma are both non-professional dancers, so they can only perform simple dance moves."
"Fortunately, the director knows how to use pictures to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and the effect still looks very good."
"In the play, the four seasons are used to metaphorize different stages of love and career, and discuss personal compromises and persistence with them, as well as their inability to achieve both."
"The two actually use love to establish confidence in each other's career (dream)."
"Ending with tragedy, it avoids the naive portrayal of reunion and love in traditional song and dance films, which only exists in fairy tales. The final fantasy ending is a mirror, which is separated from reality and caring for reality."
"Using song and dance to express fantasy and create dreams are common tricks for singing and dancing, which can make up for regrets, reveal the gap between dreams and reality, and deepen the healing energy of music."
"Song and dance films have loved fantasy wonders since ancient times, because most of the time, they all It is the externalization of the inner world of the character. "
"After all, the tenderness and dream of the song and dance films are incompatible with the real world. This is why the song and dance films moved from streets and alleys to high mountain grasslands in the late 1960s, from mining schools to singing and dancing halls. After the naturalistic song and dance films with large scenes emerged, they gradually went downhill. "
"Because it touches the reality, it will destroy its original romantic nature." "
"Of course, "La La Land" is a movie that is carefully designed for fans of music and dance. The director also hides his own little interest in jazz in it, and he has a lot of fun." "When the film imitates the postures of his predecessors, it can continue its spirit, and it is retro and innovative." "I checked it out after watching this movie." "I found that "La La Land" not only was the script created by Wang Shu, but the interlude music was also created by Wang Shu." "If it were other directors, I wouldn't believe it."
"But Wang Shu... As we all know, he wrote songs for Taylor and also topped the Billboard charts."
"It can be seen that Wang Shu is capable of creating these interlude soundtracks."
"At first I suspected that he was a Chinese director who couldn't make good musical films."
"Now it seems that I underestimated his talent."
"Wang Shu not only knows how to make musical films, but even the interlude soundtracks are created by him."
"Maybe Wang Shu not only has this talent, but also has hard work."
"I think many people understand clearly that Wang Shu has been in Hollywood for three years. When he first came to Hollywood, he did not try to make music and dance films, but did not make music and dance films two or three years later."
"Perhaps, after he came to Hollywood, he has been studying and presented this "La La City". "
"Perhaps he is the director of China who can make music and dance films different."
"You can present such a "La La City"."
"
"Really, as a musical and dance film, it's very amazing."
"No wonder it was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Best Film Award. The film is really excellent!"
"I have said before that although the musical and dance films have declined, there are still two or three movies every year,"
"No exception, they are all mediocre."
"This shows that the American director's thinking of making musical and dance films has been solidified, and there is no change except using formulas to present a clichéd and mediocre movie."
"I guess Wang Shu can make such an amazing song and dance film because he comes from China and his thinking has not solidified!"
…………
Wang Shu happened to see this review on the computer in the apartment and silently gave it a thumbs up.
This person is right. American music and dance films have been declining for so many years. Two or three music and dance films appear every year, but few music and dance films appear. It is precisely the American music and dance directors who have solidified their thinking...
And he is a new brain.
A new brain is smart!
