Chapter 739 The long-lost movie-watching pleasure

Meyer actually didn't want to see "The Longly Master" at first.

That first meeting with Hemingway in Collidio's mansion was not so wonderful.

Meyer is a proud man.

He considers himself the best director in Hollywood.

As for the big Chinese? Will Dahua also make movies?

So when I heard that Hemingway refused to sell him the film rights to A Song of Ice and Fire, and the reason for the refusal was, "It's possible that I will do this story myself, so I'm sorry, Mr. Meyer. Of course, if I've changed my mind and I'll let you know."

Meyer just found it ridiculous.

I think this is just some kind of excuse.

When "The Longly Master" was released in the Western world and achieved good premiere results, including good word-of-mouth and market performance in the next few days, Mayer felt that the billionaire must have bought the box office.

When "The Longly Master" was well received by various film critics, the film schedule increased, and the box office grew at an astonishing rate, Meyer thought to himself, it's all about watching something new and exciting.

What kind of movie will Dahua people make? It's like saying black people know math, it's a joke.

It's not racist, Meyer is definitely not racist, he's one of those, best guys who hate racists and black people.

He does not discriminate against Dahua people. He thinks Dahua people are very smart, good at mathematics and physics, and suitable for basic scientific research.

But art? God, don't force those poor Dahua people, what art do they know?

So Meyer has been curious and confused ever since.

On the one hand, he believed that Dahua people would not make movies.

On the other hand, the popularity of "The Longly Master" is not fake.

On the Internet, the overwhelming discussions and praises of movie fans are not fake, and they are definitely not trolls; there are also thousands of posts analyzing and interpreting movies from various angles.

So, what kind of movie is this?

Now it is said that "The Longly Master" is about to be drawn.

This movie has been released for a month, and it is said that it will continue to be released in Dahua for another 20 days, but overseas, it has started to be drawn one after another.

If you don't watch it now, it's too late.

As for the DVD and online on-demand in the future... Meyer believes that such an action movie must be watched in a movie theater to feel the essence of it.

There are not many people in the theater.

Only about 50% full.

So it looks a little empty.

Only the middle part is full of people, and the rest of the seats are sparsely populated.

Some people are like Meyer,

Couldn't get a ticket for the middle seat, so bought another seat.

Or maybe they just want to sit in a corner where no one notices and do something—Mayer thought maliciously.

Of course he also knew that this was unlikely.

After all, this is a PG-rated movie, and according to the movie rating system of the Stars and Stripes, it means that this is almost a family-friendly movie.

Children under the age of 13 can watch movies accompanied by their parents.

The audience is very wide.

I heard that some competitors lobbied the Film Association to classify this film as PG-13 (special counseling level, recommended for children after 13 years old) or even R level (restricted level, recommended for children over 17 years old).

However, Warner Bros. Pictures is not a small company, so it is naturally impossible to satisfy its opponents.

On Earth, "Rurouni Kenshin" can get a PG rating when it is released in the United States.

In terms of bloodshed, "Rurouni Kenshin" far exceeds that of "Wulin".

Meyer originally looked down on the empty theater, thinking that the attendance rate was too low.

But think about it, this is a movie that is about to be drawn... so the attendance rate is a bit scary.

"But it's prime time," Mayer reassured himself.

During the prime time, there is only such an attendance rate, which is shameful.

But...it's a movie that's been out for over a month after all.

Meyer's emotional roller coaster ride.

Soon, the movie started.

Meyer is a professional, so naturally he cheered up from the very beginning. Even if the movie is not good, he still has to watch it carefully, summarize and analyze it.

But soon he discovered that there was no need to forcibly pull himself together.

It's not the same as watching those foreign movies (especially Dahua movies) before.

He didn't find it difficult to understand at all, nor did he find the brain circuits of these oriental people in the movie difficult to understand.

This is a simple story, simple but exciting, easy to understand but not too naive or against logic.

The image of the characters is still full and impressive.

Of course these are the basics.

If that's all it takes, the movie will do well, but it'll only stay there.

What really made this movie a hit at the box office were the incredible fight scenes.

Meyer was silent and didn't yell like the audience next to him, but he was also engrossed in watching.

When he watches other people's movies, he often thinks habitually: How is this shot realized? What is the mystery of the choice of this seat? Can this picture be handled better?

But tonight, at this moment, he was completely immersed in the plot, immersed in the shocking experience.

He forgot that he was a director, as if he was back in his teens, sneaking into the back door of the theater from under the nose of the conductor, squatting secretly in the aisle of the seat to watch a movie.

At that time, he came into contact with exciting and exciting action movies. Looking at those superman-like heroes on the screen, his heart was full of longing.

In the blink of an eye, he grew up.

He began to shoot these films himself, as a director,

So he knew that the tough hero in the eyes of the audience might be a crying bitch in real life.

So he knew that there were many tense and exciting shots, such as the one where the protagonist hangs with one hand on the edge of a skyscraper, and will be smashed to pieces when he falls. In fact, the shooting was only by a small pool with a depth of 1 meter.

So he knew that those lonely heroes on the screen, killing all directions, punching people to the flesh, and kicking people away with flying legs, may not actually be kicking with their feet—the feet cannot be lifted so high, but they are held by gloves. A pair of shoes "kicked", and the actor who flew out was also hung by the wire and flew back...

When the magic of light and shadow is dismantled, it seems meaningless.

So although he himself is good at making action movies, he can no longer stand watching action movies made by other directors.

Every time he sees a fight scene, his mind will automatically start to analyze, analyze, and guess how the scene was shot.

And they can't be so fascinated like those audiences who don't understand anything, immersed in the fantasy world woven by the director for them.

However, at this moment, he finally found the long-lost joy of watching movies again.

Although his expression is still very punchy, but that is just a habit.

His heart has actually fluctuated with the plot of the movie.
