Chapter 400: Epic film
After "returning to the age of seventeen", although Eric received a lot of invitations, he no longer appeared in any movie footage, even the guest appearances. But even then, because his rise is too legendary, personal photos will appear in newspapers and magazines in three days. Therefore, even if you can't be recognized by people at the street, there will always be a feeling of deja vu.
With more and more people in the library hall, the guests who participated in the exhibition have more and more eyes on Eric, but most people seem to think that they may be just similar, and they did not come forward to talk. meaning. In order to avoid unnecessary harassment, Eric had to wear sunglasses to wear it. This dress appeared to be somewhat different in the hall, and it was also ridiculed by Catherine.
"This is a story about the Golden Apple. When the human hero Pas and the goddess of the sea, Titus, held a wedding, the gods were invited. Only the goddess Eris was rejected. The hateful Rees broke into the wedding scene and took out a golden apple, saying that she would give it to the most beautiful woman present, which led to a dispute.
Zeus's wife Hera, the goddess Athena, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, think that they should be the ones who won the Golden Apple. In the case of disputes, Zeus appointed Prince Troy, who was shepherding on Mount Ida, to rule this. dispute.
The man who thinks in the picture is Paris, and the three goddesses on the right. Because of God's promise to let Paris fall in love with the most beautiful woman in the world, Paris awarded Golden Apple to Aphrodite. Parris then, with the help of Eros, abducted Helen, the queen of Sparta, who is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world, thus causing the Trojan War. ”
The two walked in front of an oil picture in the northwest corner. Catherine whispered to Eric. Although she majored in art criticism at Columbia University. However, he did not explain to Eric the composition and color of the works in the exhibition hall. He only told about the various background stories involved in these paintings. Although many of them were known to Eric, he did not interrupt the woman. The meaning, but listened to it with gusto.
After Catherine finished speaking, she looked at Eric, who looked thoughtful. She curiously whispered, "What do you think, is it boring?"
"Of course not." Eric shook his head. "I want to go back to Los Angeles and ask them to make a plan about the future of film development in European mythology and history. This type of film theme is a big gold mine, but unfortunately because Special effects and artificial restrictions, this type of film has not had many outstanding works over the years."
Catherine is a kind of person who advocates the integration of work into instinct. Therefore, she did not ridicule Eric in thinking about her work in this situation. Instead, she asked: "You are talking about epic movies, like "Ben Xu" and " What about Spartacus?"
"Ben Xu" and "Spartacus" are European epic movies produced in the early 1960s. The former tells the story of the Jewish sin against the Roman Empire. At that time, they won 11 Oscars and became Oscar history. An insurmountable record. Although the "Titanic" in the original time and space exceeded the "Ben Xu" in the nomination, the number of awards was only the same as "Bin Xu". The latter is the masterpiece of the film master Stanley Kubrick.
At the time, the two films were all super-invested in the movie, and they all used up to 10,000 extras. Today, the Hollywood industry has developed into an extremely standardized one. This artificial scale is hard to replicate.
Eric and Catherine left the pair of "Golden Apples" and said as they walked: "It is true that like "Ben Xu" and "Spartacus", these two classics were based on literary works rather than historical facts. Change, I think this is the key to their great success at the box office and awards."
Catherine asked: "Why can't I adapt to historical facts, I think this is more real?"
The two stopped in front of another oil picture, Eric explained: "But the real history is always too cruel and unpleasant. If you develop this type of film, the investment must belong to the level of super production. If you want to recover the cost, you must make a large-scale adaptation of history to cater to the tastes of modern audiences. Still, the audience always sees what they want to see."
Eric said that looking at the woman beside him, Catherine’s work is not so much, but she always talks about transmitting some kind of social cognition to the audience, and often talks about it. This style will not only not Achieving the recognition of the award, a little careless will also cause the audience to resent.
In the original time and space until a decade later, the "demolition force" that allowed Catherine to climb the Oscar, the woman changed the shortcoming. The "bombling unit" took a bomb squad on the Iraqi battlefield with a calm observer. Everyday martyrdom, not preaching, not commenting, but after watching this movie, everyone will naturally resent and resist the war, this is the best way to promote anti-war.
Catherine looked at the oil painting in front of her face. This time, she did not whisper to Eric. Instead, she said, "I feel like you are talking about my movie?"
Eric smiled: "Yeah, you see that I don't have any words pointing to your movie, but you can understand my purpose. This is the best way to convey a concept."
Catherine remembered the words that Eric said when she was on the "Frightening Point" film a few months ago. In a short period of thought, Eric did not bother, standing silently waiting.
Near twelve o'clock, Eric selected the "Golden Apple" that caused the two people to talk, and signed a cheque for $50,000 to the organizer. As for how much money can be used, the so-called It is not Eric’s consideration for orphans and disabled children.
At noon, Catherine's good friend Becky Murphy had a simple lunch with two people. The two did not go back. In the afternoon, at the suggestion of Becky Murphy, two people listened in an auditorium in Colombia. A four-hour lecture on European history.
Becky Murphy was very curious about Eric’s performance during the lecture. As a girlfriend of Catherine, Betsy Murphy had heard about the divorce of Catherine and Cameron. Qi Murphy occasionally whispers with Catherine, and from time to time with a sly look to Eric. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
