Chapter 442 Hasty May
However, even if there is a major change in the creative team of "House of Cards", Roland is actually not worried that the show will be badly filmed, because in his previous life, the attraction of "House of Cards" was not actually filmed by this show. It's not about how good it is, but it captures the direction of being easy to understand while telling the story of the beege, and integrates monster-killing upgrades into it.
The reason why it is called fighting monsters and upgrading is because Francis Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, is the hero of Shuangwen in the little girl. As a very ambitious politician, he is supported by himself. The author put forward that when Garrett Walker won the election and became the forty-fifth president of the United States, Francis Underwood did not get the position of Secretary of State promised by the other party. Because of this, Francis, who felt that he had been betrayed - Underwood decided to go it alone and gradually realize his presidential dream.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this plot.
But in fact…
Isn't this just the tragic divorce at the beginning, and then shouted "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!"
The routine of being ignored and then turning around and slapping your face is popular in any country, but in the words of Fat Five who decided to close his pen three years ago and opened a new book three years later, this kind of method is Something they could write with their eyes closed.
…
A drama, it is impossible to fail.
And it is said that "House of Cards" is easy to understand while telling the story of the beege, that is because the upgrade routine of this drama is exactly the same as "The Legend of Zhen Huan". , the story of growing into a generation of empress dowagers who are good at seeking power, the core, it is still in the process of ascending to power, everyone will have blood on their hands, but things that violate the law and discipline cannot be exposed in front of the emperor, and all justice must be upheld by the emperor , the law is useless.
What about House of Cards? Could it be that in a country that pays attention to the system, people can take advantage of the legal loopholes, but they cannot violate the law, and even if they violate the law, they cannot be exposed, otherwise they will be finished!
"Zhen Huan's Biography" shows the institutional crotch pulling and the kindness of the superiors!
"House of Cards" expresses the goodness of the system, and the crotch pulling of the superiors!
Eh…
The two dramas perfectly capture the audience that the producer wants to include, which is very refreshing!
In this case, is the core selling point of "House of Cards" really political? Why do people in Europe and the United States still enjoy watching "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister" when Chi Guoguo exposed the evil of the superiors?
Isn't that because while they belittle those in power, they promote the superior system they have always preached!
And until the core of the "superiority of the system" is not broken, that is, before the farce of the sleepy and understanding king appears, "House of Cards", which focuses on upgrading, will definitely not fail!
Absolutely!
If it fails, it must not be a problem with the creative team, but a problem with the system.
Or in other words, it is brainwashing propaganda, which is useless.
...
When the "House of Cards" project was established and advanced rapidly, the transaction between the small bush government and Goldman Sachs was actually in progress.
On February 10, the senators of the Donkey Party formally withdrew the indictment against Vice President Dick Cheney on the grounds that there was an accident in the evidence collection process and more preparation time was needed. The security case related to the bush government has actually come to an end. Everyone knows that there is a problem, but no one is willing to investigate.
Although the Donkey Party’s decision to withdraw the prosecution was a great blow to their reputation, this kind of public confession would disappoint their supporters, but on the day the Donkey Party gave up on the investigation of the An Ran case, they announced that they would Trying their best to stop President Bush's oil exploration plan in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and in order to make his advocacy more powerful, Goldman Sachs also pulled Wells Fargo, which is controlled by Warren Buffett, to endorse them. These financial giants Said it would not sponsor oil and gas projects in the Arctic and protested what the bush government was doing.
On the surface, this kind of behavior of admitting cowardice while talking loudly is just like the meowing of a kitten after its tail is stepped on, and it has no lethality at all, but in fact, more people think that, The Donkey Party resolutely vetoed President Bush's plan to conduct oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which was a strong counterattack after the Enron case hit a wall.
As for the reason...
it's actually really easy!
The donkeys moved out of their father!
When Goldman Sachs intervenes in this kind of political event, it means that the donkey party is really on fire!
How will the two sides play the game next?
That is definitely a good show!
But when the major TV commentators were full of expectations for the moves of both sides, Roland, who was watching the news, turned off the TV directly.
Before, he felt that listening to the news every day was a good habit to grasp the context of the times, but now...
hehe~
When the process of the times is driven by him, what is the news broadcast?
The donkey party got really angry, and wanted to fight the elephant party to the flesh!
It's all bullshit!
are all acting!
...
While Roland expressed his disdain for the news that fooled the public, everything related to entertainment in his old business became the object of his attention, or, well, it was because "Ice Age" was about to be released.
Although after "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the busy Roland never paid attention to the movie market again, and he even forgot about his own masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring". But the movie "Ice Age" is definitely something he wants to watch, because...he has a child!
As a father-to-be who is always with his wife and an old mother who is pregnant, the topics they usually communicate with each other are actually around children. For example, when they talk about the air by the sea, they feel that the sea breeze The amount of salt was too heavy, so they asked the assistant to buy an air purifier of various brands and test it at home, and decide which one is easy to use;
When talking about the completion of the Beverly Hills Castle this summer and the occupancy at the end of this year, they thought the air on the top of the mountain was very dry. They searched the humidifiers on the market and put them at home to test slowly;
Baby products are Kate’s favorite things. She bought all the utensils with Mickey on them. If it’s just these, then that’s fine. When something didn’t match, Kate reacted and bought the utensils with Minnie on it again, and when she felt that the child might not like mice, he bought another copy of Donald Duck and Daisy. It wasn't until the delivery guy realized something was wrong and reported the news that Roland and Kate had been buying the company's baby products, and the two stopped.
because…
Michael Eisner called Roland directly, saying that we will give you whatever you want.
Quantity according to the car, the whole venue is free.
Although Roland can lick his face and ask for it, it's not necessary.
Moreover, the reason why the two of them choose these patterned utensils like the guys from the kindergarten class is because they think that children cannot refuse these cute things.
Although the Mickey spoons bought in the market will never be as good as the ones at home, but Mickey is the real reason to attract the little ones to eat well. In this case, things that can make children happy, for them It is precious.
If it is said that before, Roland only regarded "Ice Age" as a money-making tool.
So now, in his eyes, this is the magic weapon to make his children happy.
Regardless of whether it is a strong and powerful mammoth, a scheming saber-toothed tiger, a sloth who feels good about himself, or a nervous little squirrel, these characters with their own characteristics may be liked by their own children .
In this way...
Focus on them to reflect the importance they attach to their children.
Well, from the perspective of normal people, the brain circuits of the couple are neurotic.
But there is no way, novice parents are on the road for the first time!
When something that has never been experienced suddenly comes, anyone will be at a loss.
And when people pay more attention to this unknown thing, corresponding anxiety will arise.
Don't say anything, you can refer to the experience of people who have experienced it.
Because of many things, it is impossible to use the experience of others to equalize it.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you smooth out anxiety.
Because of this, even if the Olsen couple knew that when Roland and Kate crazy bought a football team's dolls, they didn't think about it. Not only that, on March 15th On the day "Ice Age" was released, they took Elizabeth with them to Roland's private theater to join in the fun.
When the five people came out of the theater laughing and laughing, the movie box office was no longer important to them.
Because as long as they have fun watching it and think that their children will like it, they will continue to invest money.
no way!
There is money!
Just be willful!
...
Roland doesn't pay attention to performance, but it doesn't mean that other people don't pay attention to performance. When "Ice Age" was released in March, which was an embarrassing schedule, and won a box office of 46.3 million in the first weekend, the industry immediately became A burst of exclamation!
No one expected that the Blue Sky Studio, which made a big splash on "Frozen Planet" and had no production experience at all, could show such a powerful brain hole and produce such a movie that is so popular with children!
Especially the little squirrel in the film, whose neurotic setting aroused the laughter of countless children!
Although it cannot be compared with movies like "Shrek" and "Toy Story", this is the first independent animation produced by Blue Sky Studios after all! The total investment is only 59 million!
When the starting point is so high and you are backed by a boss, isn’t that high-quality animation easy to come by?
That's right!
Now in the entire Hollywood circle, no one doubts Roland's vision!
If before, everyone thought that the reason why Roland's movies were so popular was because he was handsome, then now, with "X-Men", "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", "Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" With the continuous explosion of Quit Showing Up, these guys really believe that Roland has learned Steven Spielberg's ability by ten percent!
What is the most amazing ability of the old man?
Director technique?
Do not make jokes!
That's shameless when you have a keen sense of the market!
After all, there is always a way to make up for something like technology, and the market sense can only be accumulated through experience, and while being able to capture the market, put down your body and work hard to make money, that is a qualified capitalist!
Make money!
Not shabby!
At the same time, when the big guys learned that Blue Sky Studio was originally Fox's partner, but was snatched away by Roland, almost everyone expressed their silent condolences to Fox.
They are not regretting that Fox missed the blue sky studio full of potential.
It's a pity that Fox didn't provoke Roland and was killed by him!
As for why?
The cheating advisory group of "House of Cards" has already proved everything!
...
With the release of "Ice Age", the Oscars in 2002 also came.
On March 24, the Kodak Theater hosted the 74th Academy Awards.
Due to the flames of war, this year's Oscars, which Roland did not pay attention to, were very small, and people from all walks of life did not dare to celebrate, for fear that if something was wrong, the audience in front of the TV would catch their braids and label them as getting out of the United States.
And precisely because the United States needs unity at the moment, the list of Oscar winners this year is actually very watery.
If it is said that Denzel Washington has real materials and deserves to win the best actor, what about Halle Berry?
That "Dance of the Deadman", is it really all right?
What is the difference between Nicole Kidman's performance in "Moulin Rouge" and her?
This is really a mind-bending puzzle.
However, even if he had doubts, Roland didn't make a sound.
Because he is a vested interest!
Halle Berry signed a long-term contract with Marvel and will play Storm for a long time.
In this case, the honor of the actress is to give Marvel another gold.
Think Marvel is boring?
I'm sorry!
We already have a queen!
Not only that, we will have a second and a third actress!
...
And after the end of the Oscars that Roland didn't pay attention to, April has also arrived.
At the beginning of the month, Steven Spielberg, who had already learned that Kate was pregnant, came out with his wife and sent them a carload of toys before boarding a plane to England to film Harry Potter. "The sequel, "The Chamber of Secrets".
In the middle of the month, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who also learned that Kate was pregnant, and her wife showed up at Roland's house. After bringing them a cart of baby products, they rushed to Universal Studios to participate in "Terminator 3" "Shooting.
Although Roland really didn't want to accept their things, because the baby supplies at home probably wouldn't be used up until Kate gave birth to three or four football teams, but after considering that they would run away as soon as they gave them away, Roland could only hold on to them. Nose, accept their kindness.
Compared with this beautiful pain, on May 10, the news that Robert Hansen was sentenced to 15 life sentences will make Roland even happier, because with the end of the largest leak case in the United States, "The Bourne" ", then it will be released!
Note: ① Fat Five is dancing. His old man has published a new book, "Steady the Waves". ②Small Bush is indeed crazy about energy issues. Although the exploration of oil in the Arctic was a plan of the United States in 1977, it was just talked about before. In 2002, Little Bush and they It is true that a plan of more than 600 pages was prepared to exploit the oil and natural gas there. Although it was rejected by the Senate in the end, it was pushed forward by Jianguo in September last year, and in August this year, the specific The oil and gas leasing program is out. ③ In reality, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo did publicly state that they would not sponsor. Of course, **** also expressed their views. ④About Halle Berry winning the Oscar, this... In fact, when she won, the American media was also talking about it. The newspaper under the name of McClatchy, the second largest publishing company in the United States, publicly stated, "The Academy Award for Best Actor and Actor appeared for the first time on African-Americans, but people have to waste time and effort to take care of them." ’, although it was later labeled as racial discrimination, the absurdity has long been deeply rooted in the body and mind.
