In the history of commercial films, there are always some darlings who have been favored by God. They not only give full play to their artistic talents, but also reap a double harvest of business and reputation. The so-called success and fame are enviable.

There was Spielberg before him and Nolan behind him!

In fact, directors like Nolan are basically equal to Hollywood.

As early as 2015, veteran actor Michael Caine, who has collaborated with Nolan many times, revealed that Nolan was preparing to make a new film to be released in 2017. As soon as the news came out, the "untitled work" that did not even have a title was already in the works. Douban is being robbed - no matter what the movie is, it will be listed directly with five-star reviews.

There are also many "movie fans" who forcibly spoilers - "Inception 2", "Interstellar 2"...

For a film with an undecided title, the soundtrack and the main character are all assembled, and even the Easter eggs are not missed. What is it going to do?

Later, news finally leaked out that the title of the film is "Dunkirk"!

Gee, what's the difference between this kind of behavior and a stupid fan who gives full marks to his brother when he sees him starring?

Of course Nolan is a good director!

If you have to keep an eye on what fans say, then who doesn’t have a arrogant fan?

In addition to his fans praising him to the sky, the industry, critics and audiences all gave him treatment commensurate with his level.

Regardless of the fact that fans are always talking about masterpieces, the scores given by film critics are very fair, with an average of around 70-80, which is almost at the same level as directors of the same level.

Warner treated him the best, giving him the green light to make whatever he wanted, including original sci-fi blockbusters that ordinary directors wouldn't even think about, and approving a budget of 120 million yuan at a moment's notice!

Why, just for a movie like "The Dark Knight", it has a box office of 500 million in North America!

Just because he can avoid overspending every time.

Ratings are nothing, box office is the real feedback from the audience, as the saying goes, vote with your feet.

In fact, except for "The Dark Knight", which has Batman's blessing, Nolan's other projects have not exceeded 300 million in North America and less than 1 billion globally. They are the type that are sure to make money but will not be a big hit.

But then again, these days, it’s rare enough to have the opportunity to produce original movies without losing money on each film.

To sum up, apart from Nolan, the only ones who have the ability to obtain hundreds of millions of investments and produce original films in their own style are David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino...

Times have changed!

But to be honest, the great directors of the same generation, Quentin, David Fincher and Paul Thomas Anderson, do not have Nolan's broad mass base - they are more authorial, while Nolan is more commercial film, despite his impeccable The plot, sharp editing and beautiful pictures, but the main purpose is to entertain the audience...

J.J. Abrams may be as influential in Hollywood as Nolan, but he is more often a hired hand and does not have full control over his own works like Nolan.

Shen Changlin still admires him very much...

But being attacked by his crazy fans...

Still feel very bad!

"What qualifications does Shen Changlin have to evaluate Nolan? Only Li Min in China is qualified to talk to Nolan!"

"No way. The mainland box office of "Dunkirk" is not as good as "Knives Out", which means Nolan can't compare to Shen Changlin? When will a single film exceed one billion US dollars worldwide before we can say this!"

Of course, Shen Changlin's fans are also quite powerful...

"No matter what Shen Changlin is, he is also the best director at the Berlin Film Festival. He produced "La La Land" and won the Oscar for Best Picture... What do you have in mind? "Inception" plagiarized "Paprika"..."

"That is, the three European awards are zero, and the Oscar is zero... In addition to the ratings, Shen Changlin has no movie with a score lower than 7. He also has "The Eight Hundred" that has a score higher than 9!"

"The North American box office of "Dunkirk" is 178 million, and the North American box office of "Knives Out" is 146 million... Excluding China, the global box office of "Dunkirk" is 460 million U.S. dollars, and "Knives Out" is 302 million U.S. dollars. Is there a big difference? ?”

""Knives Out" has a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 97% and an IMDB score of 8.1; "Dunkirk" has an IMDb score of 8.4 and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 92%...is there a big difference?"

ID Heidan concluded: "Some people who are close to power will mistakenly think that they have rights. I hope some fans understand that liking Nolan is not more noble than liking Shen Changlin, and the sense of superiority is terrible."

Black Egg actually dares to speak...

As soon as he spoke, the comments section below was all filled with "Are you okay?"

…

Pretty good…

This mutual pulling and stepping effect itself is exactly what Shen Changlin expected!

It is difficult for a movie without topics or discussions to attract more viewers' attention.

As for Nobuki…

In fact, in the past, Nobuki's fans were basically Spielberg and Cameron, and even the great medieval god Akira Kurosawa and the ancient beast Hitchcock didn't pay attention.

Now I step on Shen Changlin instead...

Does this mean that Shen Changlin has also reached the level of the above-mentioned director?

However, during the promotion, some media mentioned this matter, and Shen Changlin's answer was very appropriate: "Nolan is of course my favorite director. He is really great in narrative and spectacle presentation!"

"In fact, since the 1990s, the entire world of movies, including Hollywood, has become obsessed with a complex non-linear narrative structure. Typical films include "It Will Come Rain", "Pulp Fiction", "Mulholland" "The Road", "Two Smoking Barrels", "Crazy Stone", etc., Nolan also filmed "Memento"..."

"He is good at non-linear narratives and likes to leave suspense until the end...but there is no suspense in "Dunkirk"..."

"I watched "Dunkirk" in the United States. To be honest, I didn't like it very much. It was a bit boring..."

You must maintain enough decency in public places, you are a public figure!

Shen Changlin is also quite afraid of Nolan's fandom...

Then... Nolan came to China to promote!

It's normal. Hollywood now attaches great importance to the Chinese market. After all, it is the second largest film market in the world...

As the world's largest film market, the North American film market has actually hit a ceiling and its market capacity cannot expand further. Under such circumstances, the Chinese market is becoming more and more important to Hollywood...

Nolan has a strong appeal in China - "Inception" and "Interstellar" all have high box office in the Chinese market!

Chinese audiences may not like themes like "Dunkirk", so we asked the director to come over to promote it and also invited Shen Changlin and Wu Jing to attend the Chinese and Foreign Directors Forum...

Talk to Nolan!

In fact, I just helped carry a sedan chair and let Nolan and "Dunkirk" get some heat.

After all, the box office of "Dunkirk" was... quite miserable!

As for the Douban score of 8.3...it's useless. Many people commented in their circle of friends, 'I slept with four people in the same dormitory and slept with three of them. The movie is very hypnotic!'

Maoyan score: 8.1 points…

For comparison, the score of "Wolf Warrior 2" is 9.7, and the score of "Knives Out" is 9.4...

This is normal. You call it "Dunkirk"...

Since this name is called, it means that the war scene cannot be too small...

——Dunkirk evacuation: From May 26, 1940 to June 4, 1940, a total of 338,226 people retreated to the United Kingdom. On the beaches of Dunkirk, the British and French forces abandoned a total of 1,200 cannons. 750 anti-aircraft guns, 500 anti-tank guns, 63,000 vehicles...

You must have these scenes!

hehe…

There is a hair!

There is no intense storyline, no progressive background, and only a handful of grand war scenes...

When Shen Changlin was thinking about what to say in this forum, his assistant Xiao Xu said to him, 'Weibo has already started a quarrel!'

"…What's wrong?"

"They said you and Wu Jing are not worthy of talking to Nolan..."
Chapter completed!
