Chapter 47

In fact, mark admires Mel's goods. You can say that he has ideals and passion and can make great sacrifices for art. From the perspective of human nature, he is free and successful. He doesn't like Jews. It's just a personal point of view, but as a celebrity, he also has the consequences of influence and dissemination. Moreover, the wealth of grass people's work in the world is hidden by the rich family (so many Jewish families) It is not without reason to occupy and squander, but unfortunately, it is said that the Jews of the six major companies account for a lot. Of course, these powerful people will use their power, wealth and influence to suppress Mel, so the tragedy arises. A gifted filmmaker no longer has anything to do. What is more tragic is that he stifles the birth of a good film. Therefore, in reality, he has failed for his own characteristics Examples and ideas pay a price. In this sense, they are failures.

This guy can be called a talented filmmaker. At the age of 39, he won the Oscar for best director and film emperor with brave heart. It is said that in order to make the film passion of Jesus, he told reporters: "this passion of Jesus" I have been preparing for at least ten years. In my heart, I urgently want to tell this biographical religious story in the form of film. This is my belief all the time. Everyone will have their own belief. It is great to be able to do something for their own belief“

Mel, he shot this film, from preparation, manuscript to script, to raising funds, shooting, post production and striving for distribution. He undoubtedly paid immeasurable efforts for this film directed by himself.

However, as a person who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, he will not know whose world Hollywood is, nor will he know the taboos here and deliberately poke scars, which is called not dying.

Passion of Jesus There is no leading star in Hollywood, and the dialogue also uses the language used by the characters in the era of the film, Jewish Aramaic and Roman Latin. Although it will be accompanied by English subtitles, this practice is simply unreasonable for Hollywood, so people begin to feel fear. The root of fear is not fear of the "facts" in Gibson's mouth It comes from Gibson's funding of a traditional Catholic Church independent of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and the so-called "traditional Catholicism" refers to the movement to split away from the church and resist the "Second Vatican conference", whose purpose is to "eliminate the Jews who killed Jesus".

This makes people question his practice, especially when he has a father who believes in * * ism. In order not to repeat the mistakes of Martin Scorsese, Mel Gibson first showed the film to religious authorities to make sure that it did not violate the doctrine and was faithful to the Holy Scriptures before it was released publicly During the trial production of the film, it once again aroused the debate between Catholics and Jews. Many Jews even accused it of anti Semitism.

Mel's bloody description of the betrayal and suffering of Jesus in the film aroused an unprecedented cultural war in Hollywood. Although it was unanimously opposed by religious people, it is still on trial. IMDB showed its comments on the film "full of mistakes and only grotesque". We can see how controversial the passion of Jesus is.

Mel is also unwilling to show weakness. He personally and his team publicized the film and debated with others. He always insisted that as a director, he has the freedom and right to create. He repeatedly claimed: "passion of Jesus" It is very consistent with history. Christ did not condemn them for being betrayed by the Jews, because we believe that the sin of all mankind is the root cause of Christ's suffering. We all have a responsibility. The passion of Jesus is a story about love. Christ became a man and we became murderers. The passion of Jesus It is the greatest hero story, the greatest adventure story and the greatest love story in history. "

Monica BELLUCCI, who is famous for her guest role in matrix 2, also publicly claimed: "passion of Jesus" The first thing that brings to the audience is a film full of visual beauty. As an actor, I like controversial things, but I don't understand why this film has been controversial from the beginning. It's not an anti Semitic film. It's undeniable that the Romans killed Jesus Christ, not the Jews. "She is the heroine of this film.

Mark looked at the publicity of the goods jumping up and down in newspapers, television and other media. If he was not driven by profit, he didn't believe it. In the case of insufficient publicity budget, the debate between religious and cultural circles he provoked easily made the film attract the attention of countless people, and it was easy to achieve his goal by pulling a thousand pounds in four or two.

Mark knows that the passion of Jesus has been very popular all over the world since its release. It exceeded 200 million in more than 20 days and returned to the top of the box office list during Easter. Finally, it won 370 million box office, creating a miracle in the North American film market. In the United States, it ranks eighth in the history of the most popular film, and is likely to replace spider man As the sixth most profitable film in film history, some insiders said: "the passion of Jesus rewrites the box office history," because Mel J. Thompson only invested $30 million for the film.

So mark believes that he provoked controversy is a biased propaganda method. He has gained both fame and wealth, but Jews are not easy to provoke. They can't suppress the audience from entering the cinema, but they can make the film company no longer invest in his films, and can also suppress his company's stocks and related industries. Jim kazevi starred in such a super box office film, but went down Slope road, but can't get any good roles.

Before the film was released, it caused a huge debate. Those who have the heart are prepared for it. The attacks before and after "first love 50 times", "crazy sand horse", "barbershop 2" and "miracle on the ice" can not form an effective barrier, but those super blockbusters are unwilling to release in advance due to huge investment, resulting in huge losses and the passion of Jesus A dominant situation.

As the saying goes, a poor family thinks of a good wife and a country thinks of a good general. If a big selling film comes forward and completes the sniper task, it will certainly make some people look at it differently. In the future, his road in Hollywood will be wider. Mark is speculative and is ready to compete with the king of R comedy and the king of R drama.

"Hangover" was directed by Todd Phillips. Warner Bros. and legendary film jointly created the comedy "hangover". It not only became the biggest dark horse in the summer of 2009, but also refreshed the total box office of R-rated comedies. With a score of US $238.2 million, hangover became the R-rated comedy with the highest total box office in film history, replacing the record holder in the previous 25 years The total box office of Beverly Hills super detective is 234.8 million. Since the film was released six weeks ago, it has still attracted a large number of audiences, winning only by more than 4 million. If you calculate the inflation factor, there is a great gap between the two sides.

And the passion of Jesus' 370 million in North America also beat 230 million in hangover. Mark wants to see whether both sides are hurt or win-win under the simultaneous killing of two large and small cost films. See how far this so-called "art focused film" has gone under the powerful sniper.

This is opportunistic, even flattering the powerful, but it has made great progress. Sophia is a famous Jew. Although she doesn't believe in Judaism or Christianity, the film will also cause her unhappiness. I believe that the appearance of hangover will arouse her favor and snipe the passion of Jesus I believe the loan request will be approved happily.

This is killing many birds with one stone. He has a work of beimi exceeding 200 million US dollars. Who dares to say that he has no hair on his mouth and is not fast enough to run Gotham town?

These things involve too many things. It's inconvenient for mark to disclose them one by one. Even if he now says that the most popular superstar in Hollywood will be suppressed in a year or two, he won't believe that Mel is not a single star. He has his own production company and has great influence and contacts. When he divorced a few years later, he said that he had a fortune of $900 million. It's good Laiwu, few people have such a solid family background.

Tom just felt that mark was too big. Before the "chainsaw" was released, he began to plan to seek a third film, and it was such a big investment.

Mark left after chatting at Tom's house for more than an hour. Now Tom is a bit like a bridge between him and Kevin. Both sides trust Tom, which is very important.

Now mark has a dim sum field. Now he has gradually gained a firm foothold. He also knows that he has a backer and a backstage. If someone else had such a backstage, he would have done something great.

After making up some scenes, mark announced that the film was finished and officially closed. According to the agreement, they held a big youth killing party to celebrate. Mark repeatedly claimed that he would give red envelopes, but they all knew that it was after the division of this man from earth. Now mark doesn't have much money. Anyway, it's not enough to give red envelopes.

Of course, he's not like making this man from earth He was so short of money that he had to rely on Donald to fund a small party. His balance was more than 500000 yuan, more than 300000 yuan was the budget for post production, and he had more than 200000 working capital. He was well-off, so he held a relatively large celebration party. His friends at work and in private gathered together, singing and dancing, which was conducive to expanding contacts , deepen feelings.

In fact, mark doesn't agree with the American party culture and wastes money, but what he knows is that this is a place where everyone has to celebrate. It's a great sin not to celebrate when the film is finished. It will be labeled as stingy.
