Chapter 1115 A rare consensus
Reese Witherspoon and Anson Wood team up to star in the Johnny Cash biopic.
This piece of news is explosive no matter how you look at it.
One is a popular American sweetheart. "Legally Blonde 2" was released this summer. Although the box office performance did not exceed the glory of the previous film, it still allowed people to see the unique charm of this blonde. .
One, is the new generation who takes the top spot. The news inside and outside the filming of "Spider-Man 2" this summer has occupied the public's attention in a devastating manner, and the slightest disturbance is also noticeable.
The first collaboration between the two should undoubtedly be the focus of the spotlight. One plus one is more topical than two, easily detonating traffic.
However, reality is not like that.
The focus is on the "biographical film".
If Reese and Anson collaborated on a romantic comedy, it would definitely set off the Internet and all the media would pay attention; but a biographical movie?
Are you sure this isn't some Halloween prank?
No one cares.
No one is paying attention.
The collaboration of "Vase x Vase" looks like a disaster.
Of course, it is not completely without any disturbances.
“Transformation? Why rush it!”
"I understand such a choice, but I cannot understand such a partner."
"Whose idea was this?"
"When absurdity meets absurdity, just when you think things can't get any better At a weird time, you saw the news that Anson Wood and Reese Witherspoon teamed up to hit the awards season..."
"It's hard to judge who is ruining whose actor's career. ”
Every one of them spoke earnestly and sincerely, wishing they could think of the two actors with all their heart and soul, but they devalued the two actors as worthless in and out of their words. It is difficult to say that there is no gloating behind the words.
Among them, the most interesting comment deserves to be highlighted directly.
“They thought they were creating the second ‘Shakespeare in Love’, but they didn’t know that they were actually creating the second ‘The Mandarin Duck Kidnapper’.”
It’s a huge loss.
"The Kidnapper", starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, was released in April this year. It was hailed as a strong candidate for the worst super-bad movie in history and suffered a huge box office failure. A disastrous failure.
In just three weeks after its release, the theater chain dropped from more than 2,700 to 73. The overwhelming negative reviews were terrible, and the couple scene of "Bennifer" was terrible. The performance was met with 360-degree negative reviews from all sides, from film critics to audiences, without exception.
So, what about "Shakespeare in Love"?
Of course, the Oscar winners for Best Picture, Best Actress and other awards prove that "Shakespeare in Love" still has its own place; however, now, "Shakespeare in Love" is hailed as the biggest film in Oscar history One of the unjust cases, defeating "Saving Private Ryan" to win Best Picture is not an honor, but a mark of shame.
Film critics not only compared "Walking with the Song" to "The Mandarin Duck Kidnapper", they even complained about the creative team's starting point and positioning as a mistake.
In other words, these comments are not optimistic about "Walking with Songs" from the inside out.
Teasing, teasing, complaining, sarcastic.
Up and down, inside and outside, it is rare that everyone agrees and becomes one-sided.
Everything was just as Reese expected.
The movie hasn't even started filming yet, it's just a piece of news, and public opinion has already come to the opposite side without hesitation. The truth is so cruel.
Some film critics even mocked it as "a pointless struggle". They don't think that a biographical movie may affect the careers of Anson and Reese. Anyway, a bunch of bad movies that hit the awards season and fail are mass-produced every year. One more of them is not more, and one less of them is not more. There is no need. What a fuss.
They simply think that Anson and Reese's behavior is...ridiculous and pathetic.
However, what is even sadder is that even these negative feedbacks were very few. They did not last long in the air and soon became sparse and quiet.
In a blink of an eye, calm is restored.
Then... nothing happened. Even TMZ's news click-through rate was mediocre.
It is a bit absurd to say that the news pictures of the launch of "Spider-Man 2" can ignite traffic, but no one cares about the powerful combination of Anson and Reese.
Audiences want to see the highlights, the stunts, and the excitement, but they have no interest in art films during the awards season unless the film really takes off during the awards season.
But, easier said than done?
In just a short moment of turmoil, the crew of "Walking with the Song" completely returned to calm.
Not only the media, film critics, and audiences, but also the Hollywood industry.
They all understand Anson and Reese's calculations; but in their opinion, neither of them is rational or clear-headed enough. Putting aside the absurdity of the biography of the person who collaborated with the Huaping, the project "Walking with Song" is Having been in Hollywood for ten years and being rejected by more than 30 production companies is an important sign, and now the cooperation between the two people has made it even worse.
"A little clever, but still not smart enough."
Sony Columbia even said lightly, "It's not worth it."
This move fell into the eyes of Hollywood, and it was not worth it. It is undoubtedly meaningful -
Even Sony Columbia, an important partner who is currently working with Anson on "Spider-Man 2" and may need to continue to cooperate on "Spider-Man 3", actually refused. this project.
In the end, the project ran out of options and was taken over by Forest Pictures, which was unknown and had no investment experience. Could things be worse?
It is precisely because of this that it did not cause too much controversy within Hollywood. Outsiders watched the fun... and insiders also watched the fun. They laughed and laughed and passed away.
What really matters is the Hollywood staff. They don't care about the success or failure of the movie. The only thing they care about is "a job". Especially "Walking with the Song" attempts to truly restore it from the details of clothing, equipment, environment and so on. The atmosphere of the 1950s and 1960s requires both professionalism and experience -
Experts in these fields have found a stage to display their abilities, so they are the few who are willing to applaud "Walking with Songs" Industry insiders.
Such a scene makes people laugh and cry.
Looking back at the beginning of this year, looking back at the attention and topics caused by Anson before and after filming "Warm and Inner Light", and then looking at the deserted scene in front of us, I have to say that one moment and the other, things changed. The change is really too fast.
Similar situations, completely different situations.
But, does Anson care?
The answer is no.
——There are many popular people.
Once you stand at the top, no matter what happens, there will always be rumors. There is no need to be happy with positive praise, and there is no need to be sad with negative criticism.
Because these rumors are rootless and will disappear without a trace as soon as the breeze blows. Those people have never and will not care about the true state of things. They are just passers-by in a hurry. Those comments that come out of their mouths are not Sincerity naturally has no weight, or even that meaning.
For Anson, who has experienced the Internet traffic era, he understands very well that the uproar in front of him is just a small preview of the Internet era.
So, instead of spending time on those insignificant cats and dogs, it is better to focus on the work in front of you and immerse yourself in the role.
