Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

​​

Evan Bell's leisurely life in New York is coming to an end. In fact, since the filming of "There Will Be Blood" in early May, Evan Bell has been in New York for more than a month, most of the time. In the post-production and recording studio of "The Blood Will Come", life is definitely not leisurely, but it is very enjoyable.

​​

However, with the call of Christopher Nolan, the entire cast of "Batman: The Dark Knight" continued to arrive in Chicago before the 25th to report, Evan Bell's New York life has temporarily come to an end, "Scarlet will The post-production of "To" has not yet been completed. It seems that Toronto or Venice in September will not be able to catch up, and the release date can only be postponed later.

​​

Although Christopher Nolan gave a deadline of June 25, Evan Bell arrived in Chicago a week earlier and locked himself in a hotel room, except for Teddy Bell, No one was there, no phone calls were answered. Evan Bell is gradually entering the state of playing the clown.

​​

The clown diary has been written for nearly three months. Although Evan Bell enjoyed his life in the recording studio and editing room in May and June, he never gave up his persistence in the clown diary. Every day must record some mental journeys . After three months of accumulation, Evan Bell's experience with the role of the Joker has reached a whole new level. This is a completely different experience. Evan Bell has never spent so long to study a character, from growing up. From experience, from psychological construction, from behavior patterns and other aspects, Evan Bell completely substituted himself into the clown's life, which is a bold challenge.

​​

Now, what Evan Bell needs is to fully immerse himself in the world of the clown, so that the two roles of "Evan Bell" and "The Joker" can be perfectly combined to challenge the new limits of his acting skills, so he needs to enough time and space.

​​

Evan Bell disappeared into the bustling traffic in Chicago, and the release of "Ratatouille" diverted the media's attention.

​​

The meaning of "Ratatouille" is very special, and it will be even more special when it is released this summer. In the past, there was a competition between Yahoo and Hulu.com, followed by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3's great victory, and then the release of "Ratatouille", and the entanglement between Eleven Studio and Disney, even if it was only about three months ago. The content makes adrenaline soar. Now Disney seems to have replaced Universal Pictures and has become the company most entangled with Eleven Studios. Compared with Universal Pictures and Eleven Studios, they are dead enemies. , The relationship between Disney and Eleven Studios, which has both beneficial cooperation and competition, is the most core and most basic form between companies in modern society.

​​

Even putting aside all the additional factors, simply focusing on the cartoon "Ratatouille" itself, there are still many things to watch. "Ratatouille" is not only Pixar's first work after joining Eleven Studios, but more importantly, this work is also Evan Bell's first imprint on Pixar: the production of "Ratatouille" Evan Bell's name hangs on the list of people.

​​

When the reporter interviewed Brad Bird, the director of "Ratatouille", he specifically mentioned this matter, to which Brad Bird responded very generously, "Actually, Evan and Pixar have a friendly relationship. It's been a long time. We've always had a great time together, and even though Evan and Pixar weren't working together at the time, he was generous enough to share his thoughts on some cartoons with us.

​​

This includes the story of Ratatouille. "

​​

"In fact, at the beginning, we wanted to put Evan's name in the screenwriter column. Evan gave us a lot of inspiration for the script of 'Ratatouille' and made a lot of suggestions." When De Bird mentioned this, he was very excited, even if the reporter had no eyesight, he could see that Evan Bell and Pixar were very happy to cooperate, "But when we proposed to put Evan's name on the screenwriter's name," he said. In the column, Evan refused, he thought that he was just expressing his opinion as an audience, and was not qualified to be named 'screenwriter'. So, in the end, we put Evan's name on the producer. In one column, this is also an affirmation of Evan's contribution."

​​

Pixar's first work after joining the studio, and Evan Bell is one of the producers, there is too much meaning in it. For example, Evan Bell actually had a good cooperation with Pixar before acquiring Pixar; for example, the chemical reaction between Pixar and Eleven Studio is obviously very sparking, although the work is not known for the time being, but The staff themselves are very pleasant and enjoyable. …

So, what about the work "Ratatouille"? Whether the inspiration given by Eleven Studio to Pixar can satisfy the audience, whether Pixar's remarrying Eleven Studio is a happy union, and whether Pixar is still popular without Disney's huge distribution network, Eleven Studio is operating again after "Perfume" Before the commercial blockbuster - the previous "Queen of Pula" and "Three Hundred Spartans" can only be regarded as dark horses - what is the final result... The most important thing is the work of "Ratatouille" Is the quality as good as ever!

​​

In fact, all of this, the media cares, the audience cares, and Disney cares too. Although the combination of Pixar and Eleven Studios is a sure deal, people will still be curious about the future of Pixar, the future of the American animation market, and the future of Disney and Eleven Studios...

​​

Therefore, the premiere of "Ratatouille" has won unprecedented attention. Even Evan Bell went to Chicago to prepare for the shooting of "Batman: The Dark Knight", but it was not able to divert the media's attention. This is also an unprecedented situation.

​​

After creating classic animation works such as "Toy Story", "A Bug's Life", "Toy Story 2," "Monster Company", "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles", Pixar has become an irreplaceable tycoon in the American animation industry. , but after 25 years of acquisition turmoil at the end of the year, the decade-long cooperation between Pixar and Disney finally failed to continue, and last summer, the last work of Pixar and Disney cooperation "Cars" was officially released, although In the end, it still achieved a good result of 460 million worldwide, but this data is definitely not good-looking.

​​

"Cars" is Pixar's worst box-office work since "Bug Crisis" in 1998. Of course, the box office will never be the only criterion for measuring the success or failure of a work. More importantly, the word-of-mouth of this work has endured Huge pressure, the media generally believe that Pixar is indeed the aura that has created miracles before, whether it is toys, monsters, clownfish, superman, Pixar can always give these characters the warmth of family, and add more. Spiritual and moving. In "Cars", this aura is quietly fading, which is indeed worrying.

​​

In fact, the overall reputation of "Cars" is still above 70, which is far from bad. It's just a pity that Pixar failed to create miracles as always. After all, before that, Pixar had always been able to shine.

​​

But add a prefix to the work "Cars": the last work of Pixar and Disney cooperation, then Disney's commercial atmosphere and excessive craftsmanship can't help being criticized by film critics. The general view is that Disney They are too obsessed with the box office. Although they will not directly interfere with Pixar, they will inevitably have an impact, which will lead to an imbalance of mentality in the creative process. This is also reflected in the work "Cars", which is still a little impetuous.

​​

Now, Pixar has come to Eleven Studios, which is recognized by the entertainment industry as full of spiritual energy. In recent years, Eleven Studios has to be commercial, box-office, independent and have a good reputation. Then, in a relaxed environment like Eleven Studio, whether Pixar's inspiration will be reinjected into the new work is naturally the biggest question mark. What's more, coincidentally, Evan Bell's name appeared on the production list of "Ratatouille", and it is understandable that people would burst out with such enthusiasm.

​​

In fact, the schedule chosen by Studio Eleven for "Ratatouille" this time is also very intriguing. On June 22, the schedule itself is very particular, and the works released together in the same period have strong competitors~www .novelhall.com~ From Universal Pictures' investment of 175 million "Fake Tenshen 2" and Peak Entertainment's low-cost work "1408 Phantom of the Fierce".

​​

Leaving aside the competitors, the fourth week of June is indeed a bit sensitive. "Spider-Man 3," "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," "Shrek 3" has just disrupted the market. It can be said that the whole market is very chaotic. Among them, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," "Shrek 3," "Big Belly" and "Thirteen Arhats" all have comedy elements, so the audience facing the market is very chaotic. , In fact, it overlaps with "Ratatouille" and "Fake Tenjin 2, which also makes the entire box office competition present a situation of cannibalism.

​​

At a time when a number of commercial blockbusters have squeezed the film market in May and June, "Ratatouille" made a strong attack, and also confronted the same type of family comedy as "Fake Tenjin 2", Eleven Studios The chosen release time made everyone wonder.

​​

Although Eleventh Release has been established for a very short time, it is definitely not a department that can make tricks. Relatively speaking, it is the distribution department of Universal Pictures that makes many mistakes. So, in this crowded, saturated, and mutually demolishing film market at the end of June, who will be killed? This undoubtedly added a lot of suspense to the release of "Ratatouille".
