Legendary Hollywood Director

At least the film share is still in the forefront, Lehman comforted himself with the North American theater schedule table compiled by Liam.

Of course, it's useless to not be so self-sufficient.

As a human being, a little Ah Q's spirit is still good.

After taking a sip of coffee and eating a piece of pastry, Lyman couldn't help but sighed secretly while looking at the data sheet.

Although it is said that without the six major supports or blood draws, there is one less profit-sharing link for the benefits of film screenings, but it is actually not much better.

This time, No Country for Old Men is finalized, and the finalized theater resources are strictly speaking less.

Especially compared to The Da Vinci Code, which has been shown for more than a week, this film still has more than 3,800 screen theaters plus 27% of the film.

As for No Country for Old Men, the newly released movie has the potential to be developed, the market space is large, and so on, it only won less than 2,000 screens and 18% of the film share, ranking third— -The animation film Beyond the Hedge also has 20% of the layout.

Of course, compared to the latter, our conditions are not bad.

After all, does the theater chain have to have a meal? Profit is the top priority. If you look at the four to ten film resources combined, they are not as strong as The Da Vinci Code, and even less than the top ten. The theater chain will take three days. Soy sauce movies like You may not even be able to get 1% of the total number of films, and they will only be released in a few theaters in a few regions, and they will immediately be thrown into the offline market to fend for themselves... ...

Is it more miserable, is it unfair, there has always been an existence with worse treatment.

But, still a little envious.

The screening scale of more than 3,800 screens, even if the attendance rate is only maintained at half, the daily box office harvest is all yearning.

Perhaps this is why the second- and third-tier studios pay so much attention to the development and accumulation of distribution work, because the film is obviously excellent, but the box office potential is wasted because the promotion resources cannot keep up, which is really heart-wrenching.

However, heartache is heartache, and getting blood drawn is not always a long-term solution...

Anyway, a series of work from production to release of any film is always closely related to the strength of the studio and distribution company behind it, and the resources provided.

The theme of No Country for Old Men is actually not suitable for large-scale exhibitions. With this resource investment, although it is a little less, it is actually almost the same. In addition, the market size that French cinemas can give is still first-class, and it is always at home. Overwhelmed by The Da Vinci Code...

It was in such broken thoughts that the time came to the 24th, the day when No Country for Old Men was released in theaters.

Paris, France.

Honore went to the cinema after work and ran to the cinema before dinner, so that he could see No Country for Old Men for the first time.

As early as when the newspaper reported the news related to the Cannes Film Festival, he noticed this work, and it felt good to look at, so he had some expectations.

Honore is in his twenties and has not been in society for a long time. He often watched movies when he was in school, but he mainly liked American blockbusters. It was not until Lehmann became famous that he slowly paid attention to him.

The main reason is that his works are not boring. Another plus point that is slightly weaker is the sense of identity.

Yes, the plot without ups and downs does look boring.

And Ryman's films are usually dramatic enough, and the characters are not flat, in other words, easy to leave an impression.

You don't even know what the main characters are called until you finish watching the movie.

Until today, the theater has also changed to the screening schedule of No Country for Old Men, and Honore came in a hurry, so that he was a little distracted from today's work.

Soon I arrived at a nearby comprehensive theater, and it was easier to buy tickets for the multi-screen hall.

When Honore came, although there were already a lot of people lined up at the ticket window, the speed of diversion was fast enough, and it was his turn in a short while.

A piece of No Country for Old Men. Is there a middle point?

It's sold out, can you move forward a little?

No, no, it's uncomfortable to look up at the neck. Help me choose the one in the back. Honore shook his head.

That's fine. The conductor was a man in his forties, unsmiling.

Enter the cinema, find your seat and sit down.

Honore bought a french fries and ate them while waiting for the main feature to start.

......

Columnist Bella, who is far away in Chicago, USA, also walked into the theater for the first time to watch Lehmann's new film.

She couldn't help but smile when she saw Javier Bardem's hairstyle.

Because the most popular group of people with this hairstyle in the United States are brothel owners, and they are generally reserved by women, and men basically do not keep it like this.

So it does give a weird feeling to a stern killer with this kind of hair.

But it didn't take long for Anton to explode.

When he strangled the policeman with handcuffs at the police station, there was an exclamation in the screening room.

——He doesn't even have emotional fluctuations in killing people, which is naturally scary.

With the development of the plot, the scene of Moss shooting the hounds in the face of danger also aroused the admiration of the people around him.

Then, Anton single-handedly killed the mining group and killed the employer, which also gave the audience a more comprehensive and profound understanding of his lawless behavior.

In the end, what the old policeman Ed said made people feel more empathetic and understand his powerlessness.

The crime that's happening now is so serious that it can't even be sentenced. I'm not saying I'm scared, although I'm a little bit, but from the day I joined, I knew very well that doing this job was life-threatening. But I don't want to bet my life on something I don't fully understand. People who sold their souls happily claiming to be adapting. If you told me twenty years ago, I would have seen it on the streets of Texas Dyed kids, nose rings, crime as cool, I would never have believed it, but it turned out to be…”

The older generation has no energy and vitality to face this rapidly changing society, being eliminated and abandoned, and can only be immersed in nostalgia for the old days, right?

Bella walked out of the theater, still recalling some details of the film in her mind.

Compared with the more bloody and refreshing crime movie Bad Guy, this No Country for Old Men is inferior in both plot and rhythm.

The same theme direction, is No Country for Old Men bad?

Of course not, if it was bad, there would not be so many people complimenting it. In fact, this is also an extremely good movie.

Because it is a multi-line narrative, it is very frequently interspersed and connected, and the rhythm of the plot is inevitably lost, but this movie actually has a bigger proposition and a much broader story.

If you really want to comment, Bad Guy focuses on the so-called loyalty of friends, and as for the fight, it is an additional manifestation; while No Country for Old Men is a bloody story of the strong eat the weak.

Therefore, the former movie viewing experience is better, and the latter one has a deeper aftertaste, but both are two excellent crime movies directed by Lehman.

Back home, Bella opened the document and wrote: No Country for Old Men - the cruelty of the weak and the weak.

- Geography is an important background element in movies. The filming took place in Texas, New Mexico and the US-Mexico border. And at the beginning of the film, it shows all this with a long-term perspective: the yellow, vast plains and hills are lifeless, naturally revealing a sturdy and crazy.

In fact, that's what most people say about Texas.

In such an environment, where you compete with wild animals for food, can you do it without being vicious?

That's how the tone of the film is set.

Like what was Moss doing when he first came out? He is hunting.

If Moss is a revenant hunter, Anton is a city hunter. The difference between the two is that Moss' prey is animals, while Anton's prey is human.

In addition, Mondley mines illegally, buys murderers and kills people; barrister Choate helps with perjury and completes procedures. They can also be regarded as hunters, but they use power, money and rules to clear the way.

Therefore, what the film depicts is such a disorderly and cruel system, so violence will become the way this film rules everything.

The big fish eats the small fish, the small fish eats dried shrimp, and the big dark humor in the film is that everyone thinks they are the big fish, and it turns out they are not.

For this reason, Monterey died, at the hands of Anton, because Anton was more unruly; Moss died, at the hands of the Mexican gang, because he was too confident; even the most violent Anton almost died at An inexplicable car accident because the driver who ran the red light didn't follow the rules.

You see, everyone who doesn't follow the rules seems to get a benefit from it. Isn't this kind of story interesting?

Finally, after watching this movie, what I want to say is that time is like a rolling giant wheel, ruthlessly rolling over everyone.

Who can say that the new generation will not become the older generation that will be eliminated in the future, the old policeman Ed feels powerless, and the crime that occurs he is increasingly unable to control the situation, like a lamb to be slaughtered, unable to control his fate , curled up silently in the corner.

That lamb, the future is you, the future is me...
