Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

Martin's praise of Quentin's film and talent is not a polite remark.

This guy who likes to lick the feet of beautiful women is indeed talented.

In Martin's eyes, Quentin Tarantino may not be a master, but there is no doubt that he is a cinematographer.

The house is very good at non-linear storytelling, memorable dialogue and gore, and carries forward the noir violence style of American B-movies.

Interestingly, Quentin's works are never perfect, not only with clear edges and corners, but also with all kinds of bugs and various logical problems, which gives people a feeling of being high.

But this kind of high feeling is to allow fans to experience unprecedented excitement and heartiness.

In particular, the various violent scenes in this stylized work will definitely make fans of CULT movies want to stop.

What this guy likes to do most in movies is that he is quiet and peaceful one second, and he is bleeding in the next second, using this abrupt contrast to make the audience secrete a lot of dopamine.

And no matter how violent and cruel the process is, the final ending of the story is still the hero's revenge and the return of the beauty, which is the idealism and romance that are common in Italian Westerns.

This guy also has a characteristic, that is, he doesn't like to shoot according to a linear narrative when making movies, and he will always play all kinds of tricks.

Godard said, "A story needs to have a beginning, a process and an end, but it doesn't have to be in that order. "

Quentin practices this phrase many times in his films.

And the movie "Inglourious Basterds" is a typical Quentin work.

But this is again an atypical Quentin work.

Because Quentin rarely tells a story well.

Of course, there is also Quentin's usual recipe in it -

The revenge plot of murder and gunfight, the several battles between ambition and traps, you sang and I appeared, and who did you make a wedding dress for in the end?

Once again, he cram his mind full of chaos, disorder, and violence into his work.

This time, even Adolf Heatelle lay down for no reason and was easily sent to hell by the Jewish girl.

If killing Bill is a simmer of the aesthetic of violence between the East and the West, Inglourious Basterds might be trying to convey that no one can escape from chaos and hatred.

And the ending of the movie is even more subversive of historical facts, which is ridiculous - the assassination plan of the British and American military has failed inexplicably, the villain suddenly turns against the water and defects to the Allies, the rough revenge of an ordinary Jew succeeds, the head of Nacui is easily used and shot by a woman, Heather is strangled to an embarrassing death, and the rebellious German colonel is engraved with an indelible Nazi mark.

And in this movie, the most interesting thing for Martin is that although this guy follows a routine similar to World War II movies in the movie, he depicts the ugly faces of some German officers.

But—

What is more prominent in the film about this guy, that is, the heavy stroke, is the positive image of another part of the German officers, the core of which is Colonel Hans.

For his part, Colonel Hans was almost as tall as a hero, shrewd and graceful and full of historical responsibility, and he acted from the height of humanity.

The image of Americans in the movie is just the opposite, they act dirty, bloody and barbaric, go back on their word, and they don't see any real merit in them.

In the dark theater, Martin couldn't help but laugh, no wonder they all said that Quentin was a ghost, and he was really too willful.

He retains the only bit of historical stance, and replaces all the remaining German and American characters to create such an interesting group of characters, which is really a bad taste.

Ghosts, ghosts, it's just ghosts who know what he's thinking, right?!

After the movie, Martin congratulated Quentin.

"Man, your movie shouldn't be bad at the box office, I said. "Martin set the FLAG. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In fact, Quentin has no need to worry about the box office of his movie, this guy's special style has formed a niche fan base for him, this group can basically guarantee the basic plate of 50 million US dollars at the box office, and can only attract a little more "off-plate" fans, and the investment in the film will be recovered.

This is also the reason why Quentin has always been very confident in his films.

However, this time is a little different, because the investment in "Inglourious Basterds" is the largest in his history - 75 million US dollars in production costs, plus the additional publicity and distribution costs in the later stage, the investment exceeds 90 million.

Moreover, Martin's "Joker" is so powerful, and the crazy trend of plundering the box office almost gives people the feeling that it will swallow up all the box office in the release period, even a madman like Quentin can't stand it!

But now that the movie has been released, his mentality has stabilized, and it's like this anyway, whether he is dead or alive..........

"To paraphrase a Chinese saying, borrow your auspicious words, Martin. Quentin smiled and said in a stiff Chinese language.

Four days after the first weekend.

The atmosphere in the Universal Pictures conference room was solemn.

Karlstrina, the head of distribution, pointed his finger at the table with the box office report for the first week of "Inglourious Basterds."

"The box office in the first weekend was 22.62 million US dollars, so it seems that "Inglourious Basterds" will not at least make a loss, but it is a matter of how much it will be profitable. "

To be honest, this is already much better than they expected, when "Joker" was first released, it really scared them, and they thought that the other party would suck up the box office potential of the same period.

According to the investment, the box office figures of this film are absolutely qualified, and there should be no problem with breaking 120 million in North America and 300 million in the world.

"Then do we still launch a follow-up plan to suppress "Joker"?" asked the head of the propaganda department to the female vice president sitting at the top.

The female vice president frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, using the shooting case to make negative reports on "Joker" is useless at all, but it has brought new heat to this movie. "

Speaking of this, the female vice president's tone was a little resentful, originally Universal wanted to take the opportunity of the shooting case to suppress the 0.1 of the box office of "Joker", but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but it made the other party's box office rise against the market. []

This can be regarded as using Universal's money to advertise a competitor's movie, and I must be unhappy.

After attending the premiere of Inglourious Basterds, Joker began to be released in Europa countries, and Martin also began his Europa promotional journey.

The first stop was London.

Yang Mi and Emma Watson came to pick up Martin.

That's right, Yang Mi didn't return to Huaxia.

After finishing the filming of "Inception", this little girl flew to London after spending some time in Los Angeles to visit her "best friend" - Emma Watson.

It just so happened that Martin was coming to London to do publicity, so she and Emma came over to pick up the airport.
