Chapter 438 Tu Tu Tu Tu
“Fuck you, these Wall Street bullshits, they are so rich in money from defrauding labor and capital.”
“Their labor and management are about to jump off the building, but they are one by one. Moisturize."
"I was already on the rooftop ready to jump, but now I won't jump anymore."
"I'm so angry now, I really want to take it. The q in the family has destroyed these scum.”
“It’s hard to let go of the hatred in my heart unless I break them out!”
Some people who were standing on the rooftop during the financial crisis suddenly gave up and left abusive comments on film review websites such as Rotten Tomatoes. The end is raised with a q protrusion.
This is something Wang Shu and Matt Damon did not expect.
In the original timeline, "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released when the United States had already emerged from the quagmire of the financial crisis and ushered in a bull market that continued to rise.
In a bull market, as long as you are not greedy, people and ghosts are all "masters" of stock trading.
In this atmosphere, the release of "The Wolf of Wall Street" will not stir up many people's emotions.
But now, the financial crisis is erupting, and a lot of people have gone bankrupt and are standing on the rooftops.
The environment is depressing and negative emotions are running high. People standing on the rooftop will not take the initiative to blame themselves, so they can only blame Wall Street for the misfortune that is so bad that they stand on the rooftop.
Movie reviews published by many well-known film critics have also appeared on IMDb. They appear so quickly, and it is indispensable that they are paid.
A well-known user commented: "The movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" has been waiting for a long time!"
"I think if I have time in the future, I will watch it again."
"Although the movie is three hours long, it doesn't feel slow at all."
"The plot promotes It's relaxed and orderly, the dialogue is witty, the editing is sharp and accurate, and the characters are all distinct."
"Scarlett Johansson is the most stunning and beautiful in this movie. Moreover, the performance is extremely bold and unrestrained. Watching her makes me feel that it is worth the price of admission. Everything else is very ordinary.” Internet addiction, the pursuit of glory, wealth, fame, and fortune in life are all addictions, and it is difficult to quit once you become addicted.”
"Life is just a constant cycle of switching from one addiction to another. I'm afraid only gods can escape from this cycle."
"The boss of the male protagonist Matt came to talk to him the first day he went to work. The boss asked What does he do as a manager? The stupid young man said something about serving customers and making money for the company and a win-win situation. "
"The boss called him f***off. What the manager wants to do is to. The client's money is kept in his own pocket. If the client makes money by trading stocks, you will fail because the virtual numbers become real material. He will stay addicted to the virtual stock market forever, let him buy and sell forever, and you will win."
"As for whether the customer wins? As long as the money is still in the virtual world, it doesn't matter to him. It’s useless to be a hundred times stronger. Only when it is converted into material is it real. No matter where you put the money in the bank, it will be empty. It will only be used up and enjoyed. It’s real, otherwise the colorful paper is no different from the toilet paper in the toilet.”
“Matt understood what the mentor meant. He went out to recommend junk stocks, knowing that many of them were black holes. , but the company grew bigger and bigger as a result. He also knew that it was real to consume the money he earned. As a result, he did not become addicted to stocks, but became addicted to drugs and all kinds of pornography. Beautiful women, sports cars, mansions and planes, a wine pond and a forest of meat, drinking and taking drugs, and excessive debauchery.”
"And this is all true on Wall Street."
"Seeing this, I suddenly realized, wasn't it that I was deceived into buying junk stocks by those junk recommendations on Wall Street, resulting in my current loss? ”
“It’s obvious that the financial crisis is coming, but those rubbish fooled me into thinking that after a big fall, there will be a big rise. In the end, I will make a lot of money by copying the bottom. There is only a bull market and not a bear market. Once I am fooled by them, what else will I do? I paid a lot of money to go in."
"If I hadn't had some money, I would have gone to the rooftop now!"
"F***!"
"I'm sorry to get too excited and go off topic!"
"Now let's talk about the federal investigation at the end of the movie. Matt can actually let go of the company, pay the fine, and no longer be involved. He has enough money to continue. Live such a luxurious life."
"But he didn't do it after all!"
"Why?"
"Because Matt is addicted to fame. .”
"He enjoys the enviable looks and thunderous applause every time he speaks, enjoys the reputation of a social celebrity, and enjoys the company's employees who regard him as a savior."
"He is not willing to quit."
“The final ending is basically as imagined. Zheng Dang is in jail, his wife and children are separated, and all his property is confiscated. The movie ends with Matt returning to the sales industry after being released from prison - training grassroots sales staff.”
< br>"It's really a box full of gold, a box full of silver. Life is like a dream in the blink of an eye."
"The brilliance of this movie is that it does not stand on the commanding heights of moral admonition and repeat, 'The debauched will be punished. , the main theme of "The Law Enforcer is Honored" is a cliché.
"The last scene the movie gives to the federal investigator who is obsessed with Matt and who is too rich to be slutty is that he is riding alone in the dirty and dim New York subway after get off work, with an unexplainable sadness in his eyes."
"Perhaps he was thinking about what his enemy Matt said mockingly at him, 'The money I pay for a casual meal is enough to pay you for a whole year of work.'"
""Good" Henry in "Guy" also asked his parents: Do you want me to live a life of squeezing the subway to work every day in the future? "
"Yes, Henry and his friends are very free and gangsters? The excitement allows them to get rid of the ordinary life of ordinary people, but the tragic fate of the protagonist is destined. Entering this industry is like being addicted to an addiction that can never be quit. Even if you succeed countless times, you will be finished if you fail once. "
"The shortcomings of "The Wolf of Wall Street" are also obvious."
"In order to highlight the debauchery of the nouveau riche, the movie sometimes goes too high, and lacks the necessary respect for women and disabled people."
"The male perspective in the whole film is quite obvious, and women are almost reduced to playthings. . There is a scene where a disabled dwarf is thrown as a toy at a company carnival, and a scene where a group of people make fun of the dwarf is also unbearable."
"In addition, there are many dirty words throughout the film"< br>
“Of course, the shortcomings I mentioned may also be intentional on the part of the director.”
“After all, this is a biographical film and it is adapted from a real person.”< br>
"These contents may be real."
"The director would shoot it like this, which reflects the reality."
Another well-known user commented: "Nude women in cars, sensual dogs and horses, A luxurious life of promiscuity and drug abuse"
"By the end of the movie, I actually forgot that it was an R-rated movie."
"On the contrary, the most memorable thing is. At the end of the film, the film ends abruptly after the complex expression of the police officer on the subway and the last shot.”
"The FBI agent finally sent the criminal to jail. In his eyes, this is his belief, killing the rich and giving to the poor. But when he put down the newspaper and looked around the subway, he saw that they were all indifferent poor people."
"He knew these two things in his heart. A gap that the big class can never cross."
"The rich even have the 'opportunity' to reduce the 20-year sentence to 36 months, and serving the sentence is like playing baseball on a paradise-like baseball field. Brewing up more ideas on how to make money from the poor. "In the last shot of the movie, the faces of the audience in the front row and the audience in the back row are all poor people who are eager to get rich."
< br>"Having come full circle, what Belford is doing now, selling salesideas to the poor, is not fundamentally different from selling pennystocks to the poor back then."
"As he said himself, smart rich people will not be stupid enough to buy pennystocks, and similarly successful businessmen do not need to listen to so-called sales lectures."
"Although Belford has experienced life and death at sea and in the country The legal reform finally made up his mind to quit drugs and alcohol and became a public figure, but in the final analysis, what he believed in has never changed, and that is the social hierarchy measured by money. "Who has seen through this society? The real measure of good and evil." What? I think this is what the director wants to convey to the audience through the lens."
In the original timeline, when "The Wolf of Wall Street" premiered, the Oscars were awarded. The award judges publicly insulted the director and disparaged "The Wolf of Wall Street" as trash.
After this incident, it is destined that "The Wolf of Wall Street" will not win the award.
It's different now.
Now, there are no Academy Award judges jumping out angrily to insult and ridicule.
The reason is that we are in the midst of a global financial crisis, and the impact of the financial crisis is huge.
It is even said that some stock trading judges have been taught a lesson by this financial crisis, causing their assets to shrink a lot.
They also had resentments and were very unhappy.
Especially through movies, many people realized that even though a financial crisis was about to break out, Wall Street people still tricked retail investors into sending money into the stock market.
And they left secretly.
When I realized this, I was even more angry.
On January 10, the first-day box office of "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released, with a total of US$8.6 million.
For a biographical movie that was only released in 1,865 theaters, the revenue of 8.6 million is already an extremely good result.
Matt Damon and the investors were very satisfied with this result and at the same time greatly regretted it.
If I had known that "The Wolf of Wall Street" would be so popular, I would have increased publicity and strived to be released in more theaters!
Wang Shu didn’t have much reaction to this.
Because, no matter how much the box office is, he can’t get a share of it.
“The box office on the first day was 8.6 million, which is amazing!”
In a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, Wang Shu and Gong Li ate together.
Gong Li took a bite of the food, looked at Wang Shu and said with a smile.
Wang Shu said helplessly: "This first-day box office result is just like that in Hollywood, nothing impressive."
Gong Li shook her head and said: "Your This "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a biographical movie, and it has been released in more than a thousand theaters. This box office result is already extremely good."
"There are countless movies in Hollywood. None of the directors are great.”
"Of course, if you want to compare with those great directors who are famous all over the world, then pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Maybe" Wang Shu responded humbly after hearing this.
Gong Li did not continue the topic, but asked: "Aren't you afraid of offending people when you make this movie?"
Gong Li has already watched the movie, and the content disclosed that Wall Street and even The ugliness of rich people.
This is something that offends people.
With these contents, it would not be able to pass the examination in the Mainland.
Although the things in the movie are true, they cannot be said on the stage.
Wang Shu smiled and said: "Since Jordan Belfort can publish books that sell well in prison, what's the problem if I move them to the big screen?"
"Moreover, the content I filmed is based on real people and true events, and is endorsed by Jordan Belfort."
"Even if it offends people, it is Jordan Belfort who offends people."
"I'm just using this movie to win awards."
Gong Li smiled and asked: "Golden Globe and Oscar, are you confident about winning the award?"
Although she said Even though he was asking this question, he didn't think Wang Shu could win the prize.
Because the content presented in "The Wolf of Wall Street" is different from the concepts of the Golden Globes and Oscars.
Whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars, it's true that "The Wolf of Wall Street" is indeed a biographical film, but the content is uncomfortable and probably unflattering.
Gong Li's thinking is different from that of European and American artists such as Matt Damon.
She looks at these from an Eastern perspective, and the content is really uncomfortable.
From the perspective of Matt Damon and others, they feel that this biographical film has a high probability of winning the award.
In the original timeline, director Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and others all had confidence in the film.
Especially Xiao Li Zi, he has been more selective in scripts since he became famous.
If it weren't for the script he liked, he wouldn't have acted.
Had the Oscar judges not jumped out and shouted down during the premiere, they would have always been confident.
Until I encountered this move, I was a little less confident about winning the prize.
Now is 2009. Not only are the Academy Awards judges different, but we are still in the midst of a financial crisis raging across the United States.
Even if some people don’t like the content, they have to hold it in under the general trend of the financial crisis.
Because anyone who boycotts "The Wolf of Wall Street" is going against the thousands of ordinary people in the United States who have been affected by the financial crisis.
As long as you care about your reputation after the Academy Awards, you must treat the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" with caution.
“If I didn’t have confidence, I wouldn’t have made this movie.” Wang Shu answered with a smile.
Gong Li nodded and didn't say much. After all, the Golden Globe Awards will be held in a week, so it's not good to badmouth her.
What's more, Wang Shu is so confident that it would be bad to be slapped in the face by badmouthing him.
But no matter what, Gong Li couldn't help but marvel in her heart.
It took her 20 years since her debut, step by step, to break into Hollywood from domestic entertainment.
After coming to Hollywood, her career has not been going well, which made her clearly feel that it is difficult for Chinese actors to become famous in Hollywood.
The emergence of Li Xiaolong and Chen Long can no longer be repeated.
Who would have thought that at such a young age, Wang Shu would become such a big name when he first arrived in Hollywood!
Even she, the person who pulled the strings, didn't expect it.
