hollywood draw

Unconsciously, no one could deny it. Just because Wayne's sudden Chinese switch made the reporters and student professors in the auditorium have a great favor and recognition for him.

Although he did not admit it, everyone knew in his heart that in this day and age, everyone was running abroad with their heads sharpened. Now a white-skinned foreigner suddenly appeared, standing on the stage with a neat Beijing movie, talking, which was really very dreamy.

Chinese is famously difficult to learn. Many people know that just by looking at the way foreigners speak, which is completely Chinese thinking, can prove that the other party is definitely not in the assault training before coming to this land. If you want to say this level in Chinese, you will definitely spend a lot of time studying seriously.

"To be honest, when I heard that this event was about talking about movie topics with a group of ideal peers, I didn't prepare a so-called speech at all."

Wayne on the stage held the microphone in his hand, and he could see that he was very relaxed. He moved from the center of the stage to the front end of the stage in a few steps, which could be closer to the front row audience. He had a natural expression, raised his other hand, skipped directly past the media reporter in the front row, waved to the students sitting in the back row, and continued:

"I think you should also be curious about Hollywood, just like I am curious about the culture of this land. Therefore, I have no interest in speeches at all, and I want to communicate with you. So if you have any questions, you can raise your hand directly. Yes, now you can raise your hand directly to ask questions."

There is one thing he said right. Wayne did not prepare any speech. Strictly speaking, Hollywood's logic of focusing on interests is absolutely inappropriate to get a public speech here. He is more willing to answer some students' questions.

Looking down the stage, I found that there were not many students who dared to raise their hands first. I smiled and shook my head slightly. He reached out and pointed at a girl casually.

"This classmate, just say whatever you want to ask, it's best to talk about the topics related to the movie."

The girl who was pointed out was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect that she was so lucky. Her position also attracted the attention of more than a thousand people in the entire auditorium.

The girl was obviously nervous and looked at the man on the stage. Seeing the other party smiling at him, she mustered up her courage to stand up, took the microphone, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Hello, Director Greenberg, I am not a student of this school. I came here this time because I heard that you will come here to give a speech..."

Wayne nodded and raised his hand to signal her to continue. "It's okay."

"My name is Ziyi, I am from the Performance Department of the Theatre Academy. I am a sophomore." Seeing everyone looking at me, the girl first made a quick brief introduction to herself, and then asked: "Director Greenberg, I am also your movie fan. I have seen all your works and liked all your works too. But recently, I have always had a question, why your works in the past two years have become more and more commercial, artistic, uh..."

In fact, the moment the girl raised her hand, Wayne had already recognized the other person. The girl who was called "international" still looked very young now, at least her face was very young. The reason why he first called this girl was purely a bad taste.

Not only this girl, who is known as "international", in the small auditorium he is in, he also saw many familiar faces, including big stars who will be active on the screen in the future, and directors who stand behind the scenes. The most conspicuous ones are several boys and girls who are crowded together. These people later made their class called the 96 star class by the media.

"It's okay, I understand what you mean."

He stretched out his arms and pressed them down, indicating that the girl could sit down. Wayne had a smile on his face and was not angry at all because of the sharp questions raised by the girl. "I don't want to talk about high-end topics such as art. Perhaps many of the classmates and teachers here have always regarded movies as the eighth art in the world, but for me, it's not exactly the case."

The moment he said, a humming and humming discussion immediately broke out on the scene. No one would have thought that an art director recognized by Oscars and the world would say this suddenly.

"Note, I'm going to start bragging x. If you don't agree with my opinion, just think I'm bragging x." Wayne shrugged at everyone.

"Hahaha."

"I**, this guy can even brag x?"

“…”

After the sound in the auditorium was a little lower, he tilted his head and fucked a Beijing film in the microphone, and continued: "Happy Death Day" North America's box office exceeded 70 million US dollars, and the global box office was 110 million US dollars. "Escape from the Death Town" North America's box office was 176 million US dollars, and the global box office was 255 million US dollars. "The Joker" North America's box office was 335 million US dollars, and the global box office was 1.074 billion US dollars. "The Joker's Soul" North America's box office was 328 million US dollars, and the global box office was 701 million US dollars.

Let the DC Cinema Universe enter the public's "Batman: The Moment of War", and the Oscar-winning "The Walker of the Insular", which will be released here in two days in a large-scale "Batman: The Dark Knight"..."

As he counted his works over the years without hesitation on the stage, the audience in the audience fell into silence and shock. Everyone knew more or less how successful the man on the stage was, but when the works over the years were listed one by one, the terrifying box office results still shocked everyone.

The box office numbers are never fantasized for everyone on the scene. What’s scary is that this young man named Wayne Greenberg is less than 30 years old. The mainstream understanding of him in the media, audience and even the film industry is a master of art films who are good at shooting dark-style films.

"All around the world, my work is very different." Wayne ignored the shocked look of the crowd below the audience, and continued to pace and speak on the stage in a relaxed and natural tone.

"The authoritative media in movies have summarized that they describe my films, plots, and theme settings are all absurd and unruly based on real problems, with both good and evil protagonists, boldly revealing and discussing issues in the corners of society, and the essential dark and twisted story core. They always like to draw the ending with death or destruction.

All these are true, but there are also European entertainment media and film colleagues. Whenever my video is released, they will say that I am using darkness to attract attention and using violent lenses to continuously strengthen the nerves of movie fans all over the world!

After bragging so much, I just want to tell you, don’t focus on the art in movies. If I do that, I will never be sought after by so many movie fans and will never be able to achieve such high box office results. When I graduated from Southern California Film and Television and Video Major, my mentor Professor Anderson Horowitz gave me a piece of advice, that is, movies, and the first thing I need to consider is the audience.

So, personally, movies are first and foremost popular entertainment. They originated from the revolving lantern. From the root, they are fun for ordinary people. What they need to do is always to let most ordinary people understand and then consider adding to the director's own artistic ideas. Of course, these are just some of my personal ideas, and I hope they can help you some of them."

A burst of warm applause sounded, and no matter whether they agreed or not, the media reporters, teachers and classmates on the scene slapped their hands. In fact, his speeches have diverged from the mainstream concepts here. This is the campus, the campus full of artistic atmosphere, and there are countless young people who are full of pursuit of art.

So, when the applause had just ended, a young man stood up from his seat without waiting for him to continue to call out, shouting: "Director Greenberg, what about art? Film is the eighth largest art in the world, and this is recognized by the world. If you just try to please the audience, won't art completely disappear?"

Obviously, the actions of this old-fashioned boy made some teachers and leaders sitting in the front row nervous. Some were nervous to wave their hands to security, while others nervously looked at the men on the stage.

"You are right, so I said it in advance just now. If you don't agree with my point of view, just think I'm bragging." Unlike everyone imagined, Wayne was not angry because someone disrupted the rules. Instead, he tilted his head and spread his hands, and the smile on his face did not decrease at all.

"Painting is definitely an art in everyone's eyes, right? Any painting of a famous artist can be sold for tens of millions, but be aware that since decades ago, Mona Lisa was loaded into a printer and began to copy and sell it wildly. Often, such paintings only cost a few dollars, but painting has always been one of the most important of the eight major arts in the world.

Looking back at the movie, even the most ordinary feature films require at least one thousand pictures throughout the whole show, but you only need one ticket to watch it. Whether you admit it or not, for ordinary people, movies are one of the cheap and ordinary ways of entertainment. But this does not prevent some art films from always having audiences.

My main meaning is to first consider the audience of your work, and then consider the so-called humanistic feelings and other artistic discussions. Otherwise, no matter how high the artistic content is, what is the use of a work that no one wants to sit down to see?”

Wayne knew that these words had no effect on those who were swaying to hold on to the so-called art. For example, the boy with a small-eyed eye who just asked a question, the other party's art films were considered famous, but almost never were released on a large scale in theaters. To some extent, this is not a kind of sadness.

"I thought he was different, but I didn't expect that the Hollywood style was still..."

A middle-aged teacher in the audience grumbled without saying a soft voice.

That's how it is. Some people's ideas are deeply rooted, but there are also many young people who flashed their thoughts in their eyes after hearing this, which was obviously affected.
