Chapter 1091 (1/2)
Generally speaking, ”follow” is a great integration of Nolan's first feature film ”memory fragments” on the time line. Both stories are about a man who is accidentally involved in a murder to find the truth.
This kind of phenomenon is very common in the circle.
Many directors' previous films are often a collection of ideas accumulated over the years, and some film styles will continue from the beginning throughout their career. The most typical one is Quentin, and Nolan is no exception.
On the big screen.
Through the hero Bill's constant pursuit, the film begins to appear all kinds of narration and flashbacks, and the time line is gradually distorted and confused. At the same time, bill seems to be getting closer to the truth.
At the end of the story, which is also Nolan style, the answer is not fully revealed.
On the surface of the story, the gangster boss instructs his subordinate Cobb to kill his mistress who has his own criminal evidence, and finds bill as a scapegoat, but he is killed by bill instead.
However, the seemingly simple results, a little combing, you will find a lot of contradictions in the details.
The key is Cobb.
And why was Bill chosen on purpose, but by pure coincidence? Cobb was sent to do this dirty work, but the end was not involved, just the gang boss was killed by the protagonist, why? What's more, whether the hero actually meets the lost woman or whether everything is imaginary has become a suspense.
It can be said that Nolan's first work, through deliberately confusing interspersed editing, vividly shows the director's later acclaimed ”brain burning” style, so that most of the audience only watch it once, and it is difficult to deduce a complete story from it. However, this is definitely not the endless stream of consciousness style of David Lynch. If we watch the film repeatedly, we can learn from it Carefully combing all kinds of details will lead to a complete story with clear thinking and careful logic.
In the lobby of the Egyptian theater.
When the movie was finished, the creators stepped on the stage and began to talk about all kinds of behind the scenes of the movie and interact with the audience? Simon didn't participate? Instead, she wrote down her opinions on the release of ”follow” in the memo handed by a girl.
After all, it's just a $3 million small film? And there's no place to make people feel amazing at a glance. Therefore, ”follow” will not arrange a popular schedule. It's expected that after Sundance's publicity, it will be on the cinema in February.
For the release of this film, since there is a successful example ahead of him, Simon doesn't need to take any detours. He has just finalized two words: burn brain.
As long as it can arouse the curiosity of the audience, the film will be most successful.
Until the end of the interaction here? The premiere of ”follow” ends perfectly? Simon and Robert Redford and others move positions together.
It's an official reception in Sundance at noon. It's mainly for the jury team of the festival, the shortlisted film creators and other entertainment celebrities who come to Sundance.
As the main competition unit film, the main creator of ”follow” also came. Simon first met Nolan and others.
”It's a great movie, Chris. I've told gaomen film to launch it. I believe there will be a good one.”
”Thank you, Mr. westlow.”
”Now that follow has come to an end? Chris? I'm looking forward to your next work. Do you have an idea?”
”Not yet, Mr. westrow,” Christopher Nolan said of Simon's constant humility? He is 26 years old, only two years younger than Simon, but few people can keep calm in front of this legendary young tycoon. After that, he quickly explained: ”in fact, the main reason is that I spent all my energy in” follow ”in the past year, and I didn't have time to think about other things.”
”Oh, of course it doesn't matter. Concentration is a good habit.”
The reception at Sundance college headquarters.
Simon encouraged Nolan a few words, but he could not help thinking about the follow-up arrangements of the filmmaker.
Speaking of all, Nolan's business line is bound to change a lot this time, and it's very similar to Tim Burton.
In the original space-time, with the success of Batman Series, Tim Burton is one of the hottest directors in Hollywood in the 1990s. This time, because Simon himself dominated the whole DC movie universe, and he didn't like the style of Burton's ”Batman” series, Burton lost the chance to direct ”Batman”.
As a result, Burton's popularity in recent years is far less than what he used to be. If it wasn't for the popularity brought by last year's ”guillotine”, Burton might gradually become silent.
Besides Nolan, if Nolan didn't become famous with Batman trilogy after the new century, the other party might not get the chance to make inception and Star Trek.
This is what Nolan will face next.
Not to mention that the DC movie universe series has been very successful. In the next many years, as long as the DC movie universe is not over, Batman is unlikely to restart. Even if it is restarted, Nolan is no longer suitable to direct this series with the tone set by the DC movie universe.Therefore, it is difficult to say where Nolan can go this time.
Simon will give each other opportunities, but not unlimited support.
It's more out of the need to control Hollywood to dig into Nolan's and many other film makers in Simon's memory. The more excellent film makers dannerys entertainment cultivates, the more choices it has, and the more stable its dominance.
After chatting with Nolan, Simon didn't turn a blind eye to the rest of the follow crew, especially Natasha Richardson, who plays the woman who was murdered in the movie.
The actress used to be known as Liam Nissen's wife, but Hollywood history has changed. Liam Nissen, also a famous Hollywood playboy, has no connection with Natasha Richardson. After Schindler's list, even the hurricane rescue series, which has made him popular, has been adapted by Simon Jeter Lee and Liam Nissen have not only been around in recent years.
In addition, Natasha Richardson is actually a famous second generation in the European film circle. Her father is Tony Richardson, a British new wave director, and her mother is Vanessa Redgrave, who has several Oscar nominations. Her grandfather Michael Redgrave is also a famous British actor. She once won Cannes best actor, and her family background is bigwinnice pat Luo is still outstanding.
With such a family background, Natasha Richardson didn't lack resources when she started her career. Unfortunately, she has not been able to catch on. This is very similar to many second generation Hollywood, so she needs to play a guest role in a small film like follow.
After all, whether it's European film circles or Hollywood, in the final analysis, it's capital control. If your film can sell well, it will naturally continue the glory of your family. Otherwise, investors will not care who your son or daughter is.
”I didn't expect you to be guest cast, nata. Can I call you that?”
”Of course, Mr. westero, in fact, the main reason is that I like the play very much, and my agent thinks the story is great. Although Chris is a newcomer, he is more professional than I expected
”Well, actually, I remember when you played Patty hurst. Apart from following, nata, what have you been doing lately?”
”Mainly on Broadway.”
”It's a pity that you're so well qualified that you should be in a movie.”
”I want to, too. Unfortunately,” follow ”is the only movie I've passed the audition in the past year.”
”In that case, nata, I'll keep an eye on it for you if you like.”
”Oh, West Simon, thank you so much
”You're welcome.”
In fact, it's Natasha Richardson's agent who wants to fight for a woman role that will soon die in the beginning of follow. Richardson finds out that this is a project that Simon westrow pays close attention to. Richardson didn't expect that it could really attract the attention of westero.
