Hollywood Road

"Love and hate, ice and fire, life and death, yes, these seemingly extreme words can be used in each of us, because they are opposite to each other, and the extreme of joy produces sorrow and the extreme of prosperity leads to decline. That's all I said, as long as you come to this world, you will have your own happiness and pain, joy and sorrow, and you will have two completely different sides of enthusiasm and indifference in your personality, and you will also have to experience life and death. .”

Just after dinner, Clattenburg sat in front of the TV, and switched to the Fox cable TV station that he had only subscribed to last year. Although it was not yet the time for the broadcast of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", the warm-up show It started early.

At the beginning of this year, he saw the fantasy novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" from a book supplement, tried to read it, and then became a crazy book fan. After it was adapted into a TV series, I have been looking forward to seeing the TV series sooner.

He wasn't too worried about the quality of the TV series. The screenwriter was personally checked by the original author George Martin, and the director was Hollywood's leading new-generation director Murphy Stanton. There were also Jessica Alba in the cast. Famous actresses of...

"The TV series should be good to watch." Clattenburg thinks so.

Compared to book fans, Daisy, who is also waiting in front of the TV, has no interest in the original novel. She is waiting for the TV series to start because it is the work of Murphy Stanton.

While turning on the TV, she also communicated non-stop with the discussion group through social software. As Murphy made two super-best-selling films in succession, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, the size of the discussion group was like blowing up balloons Swelling fast, these folks are watching A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones kick off tonight.

After several years of hard work, Murphy also has a large number of fans who are quite supportive of him. These people did not go into the theater on Friday night, but stayed at home.

However, if you want to see "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones", you need a certain entry threshold. The cable TV station is different from the public TV station, and you need to pay a lot of money every month.

Like Daisy, she also just purchased Fox cable service this month.

"It's all worth it to see Murphy's new work."

She said this to the people in the discussion group on the social software, and quite a few people agreed with her, saying, "Murphy's product must be a boutique!"

Some people also wondered, "Why does Murphy want to make TV dramas? Didn't it mean that popular directors seldom make TV dramas?"

Because Murphy chose to shoot a TV series, Daisy knew something about this aspect. She tapped her fingers on the keyboard and gave what she thought was a reasonable explanation.

"Doing TV series is also very interesting. It can keep yourself busy and see the results of your work quickly."

After her words were sent out, someone echoed, "Yes, when the series you develop is selected by the TV station, you can see the ratings and results after 7 or 8 months. Compared with movies, waiting for the birth of a story It may be years old."

Daisy knocked again, "Time should be regarded as the inexhaustible element of life for great directors. From the conception, preparation, shooting of a movie to the release date and publicity...Spielberg's "Sinde" Le's List" took him 10 years, and George Lucas has been entangled with "Star Wars" all his life. Investment, actors, technology and even the weather sometimes become the "Gordo" that big directors have to wait for. How many good stories have been buried, delayed, and taken to the grave because of these factors..."

Although it makes sense, Daisy is an outsider after all.

One of the deputy leaders of the discussion group is a person in the Hollywood industry. He rarely speaks at ordinary times, but he also jumped out at this time.

"Movies are like women. They are too expensive, and they require a lot of care. You have to give love and sincerity. In the end, you still need a lot of time to know.

Are you waiting for the happy ending of "Pretty Woman" or the unbearable "Superman Returns"... In this era of fast consumption economy, people's patience is really limited, and there are very few seeds of infatuation that can go to the Waiting day and night for 10 years. "

This person seemed quite emotional. Daisy had just finished reading that paragraph, and he then sent out a longer paragraph.

"Compared to movies, TV dramas do have less investment and quicker results. In addition, large film and television groups now have their own movie and TV production studios, and personnel often communicate with each other. This is more convenient for film directors. Like Spielberg and "Band of Brothers", it is not uncommon in Hollywood for big directors to put down their bodies and devote themselves to the production of TV dramas. Few people insist on living in the ivory tower with their works and more More people communicate, vent and express*, who cares if the format is TV instead of movie?"

"Small pictures can also reflect big ideas. With big directors like Murphy and Spielberg taking the lead, more people will embark on this unusual road. Of course, it will always benefit our fanatics. And a loyal audience."

The time was getting closer and closer to 21 o'clock in the evening, and more and more people gathered in front of the TV.

Many people also gathered in the film room of the UCLA film club. Because of Gal Gadot's relationship, quite a few club members paid close attention to Murphy's developments.

This event convened by John and Mason attracted many people. Gal Gadot did not return to Santa Monica because he had class tonight, but came here after class, waiting for "Ice and Song of Fire: Game of Thrones.

Although she has never liked Murphy's style of work, she will do everything possible to support her boyfriend.

There is still some time before 21:00, and Fox TV is still using the last time to promote "Game of Thrones". Two famous drama critics sat on the sofa in the studio and vigorously promoted this fantasy TV series.

""A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones" is actually an epic about a troubled time. It is about people with completely different personalities but deeply connected with their fates trying to live in this turbulent and changeable world, trying to find their ultimate destiny. A wonderful life story about the path and meaning of life, where people have high and low identities, but the road of life they walk will never be smooth and smooth. Everyone must work hard to think, to go Struggling, to choose, to try to find the path of life that one should take, and in this difficult process, everyone has their own joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows..."

When approaching 21:00, the host made the final mobilization.

"It is such a person who built this world of ice and fire, and wrote his own unique stories and history belonging to this world and this era, and every page of him is soaked with the blood and tears of too many people, love Love and hate, life and death, so whether you are reading books or dramas, please watch and taste them carefully, because this is a wonderful and good story. I want to tell the whole story, but I also want to experience the laughter and tears with you, and feel the preciousness and impermanence of life, so let me start with you quickly!"

As soon as 21 o'clock arrives, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" will be broadcast on Fox Cable TV on time!

Clattenburg drank the last sip of coffee in his cup and stared intently at the TV, pumping his fist lightly when the introductory part of the whole series appeared on the TV screen.

"That's right! That's how it feels!"

The beginning of the TV series continued the story and style of the original prelude. First of all, as the three night watchmen of the Great Wall, they crossed the wall and went north. At this time, the surrounding environment and atmosphere gave Clattenburg a feeling of being so cold and dark. The iron chain was slowly pulled up, and the heavy wooden door was slowly raised, and the three of them held torches and walked through the long corridor that seemed to him to have no end.

And when the last gate was raised, what caught everyone's eyes was the heavy white snow that was completely different from the black and heavy feeling before. Obviously, this did not bring much sense of relaxation to people, because the Great Wall itself It is the last 'powerful' barrier that the ancestors built with solid ice to resist the invasion of evil and barbaric forces in the vast northern wilderness to defend the entire kingdom. Walking out of the Great Wall means being in a dangerous environment with too many unknown factors Next, you must be careful at all times, stay vigilant at all times, and pay attention to the situation around you.

Daisy temporarily closed the laptop, turned her chair, and stared at the TV. When the TV series started, she seemed extremely nervous, as if something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, soon, one of the three young men, who seemed to be very clever, noticed a faint smoke rising from a low-lying area not far away. He got off his horse and crawled forward in the snow with difficulty. When he climbed to the small mountain where he could observe, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately became extremely panicked.

The camera moved slowly like his eyes, and finally landed in the small depression, and then Daisy excitedly saw bloody corpse fragments all over the place, a scene of hell surrounded by horrific scenes. The moment the man turned around in a hurry, he saw the body of a little girl nailed to a tree.

At this minute, Gal Gadot sighed and shook his head. Murphy really wanted to carry out his "yellow, violent and dark" style to the end!

For a moment, her heart, liver and lungs were about to vomit out.

Unlike Gal Gadot, people around watched it with great interest. Even those who didn't know the original work were instantly caught by these large-scale dramas.
