Tokyo Literary Godfather

Tom Miller has published two articles in the past two days, introducing and explaining "Get Out" and "Midnight Scream" respectively.

Colin was naturally the first to read the articles related to his movie, and nodded with satisfaction while reading them.

It seems that the taxi fare was not in vain... The whole article is a very positive review and praises "Midnight Scream". Although some shortcomings of this movie are also mentioned, this is normal. If the advantages are mentioned without mentioning the shortcomings, readers will question the fairness of this article.

As a veteran of the film critic world who often collects cab fare, Tom Miller is experienced in this area.

"All in all, "Midnight Scream" is a work that is definitely above the passing line, and it is also a good work worth mentioning in Director Colin's career. If you feel that life is boring, this movie can let you experience The thrill and pleasure of having your scalp explode is definitely worth the price of admission. I recommend watching it. Tom’s rating: eight stars (out of ten).”

Colin was relatively satisfied. He scrolled the mouse with his right hand and clicked on another film review, which was about "Get Out" by Tom Miller.

"Absolutely excellent work!"

"A landmark for horror movies!!"

“A work of art with rich connotations!!!”

"Racism + science fiction elements + horror and thriller, the writing method smoothly integrates multiple elements into one, it is a must-see movie!"

“Tom’s rating: nine stars!”

Colin was dumbfounded.

After three seconds, he reacted so much that he almost overturned the computer.

This piece of shit! ! !

Could it be that DreamWorks and Century Fox offer more taxi fares? What's the difference between giving me eight points and giving them nine points, and giving me a bad review?

Colin was so angry that his teeth itched.

However, in fact, the crew of "Escape" did not pay Tom a higher taxi fare. Of course, they did not refuse to pay the money in a very personal way. They paid a similar price as usual. In short, it was less than what the crew of "Midnight Scream" asked for.

But the movie "Get Out" gave Tom a great shock. Even as a film critic, he is well-informed and has watched countless good movies, but he still feels that the story of this movie is exquisitely conceived, and it is in Hollywood. It also ranks among the masterpieces of horror films in the world. And from the perspective of his personal preferences, he also likes this movie very much.

So when I went back to write a movie review, I gritted my teeth and made a decision that went against my ancestors... no, it went against the taxi fare.

He gave "Escape" a higher rating, used a longer length and more detailed narrative to write about the movie, and highly recommended the movie to his readers.

As for how the crew of "Midnight Scream" views this behavior of theirs...whatever. So what if I take your money? Just because I accept it doesn’t mean I agree...

What's more, it's not like I didn't write a good review for you, I even gave you a high score of eight points. The reason why I gave you one extra point is because of the taxi fare.

But "Escape" is different. I give them nine points because they are really worth nine points.

By the third and fourth days, "Get Out" was singing all the way, earning $80 million at the box office in its first week.

It's clear that the film was a success.

And what Kei Fujiwara originally thought of doing in the rugby league has become a classic case in the film promotion industry.

Coupled with the advent of the Internet trend, major film studios will pay special attention to the whole process when promoting. We will no longer just release trailers or put up posters.

Two days later, the movie’s box office exceeded 100 million.

Even if this film stops making profits from now on, with an investment of less than 10 million and a box office of 100 million, this film has still made a lot of money. What's more, for dark horses in the market like them, the high-speed profit period will only begin a week later.

The final box office of this film is between 200 and 300 million, so there is no suspense.

However, the box office of "Midnight Scream" has obviously stagnated, and finally stopped at 80 million US dollars. Well, it was also profitable, but it cannot be compared with "Death".

"A dark horse at the box office, "Get Out," another dark horse movie from Dark Horse Company!"

"The discussion of racism in horror movies is the sore under the robe of American society!"

“How the colonized were colonized—the core proposition of Get Out.”

"This is an excellent film, whether it is a horror film, a science fiction film, or a racial film, it is very good. The director Jim and the screenwriter Kei Fujiwara have both performed to a very high level. This is a film worthy of the film. Live movies."

"God, the creators who made this movie deserve an Oscar."

Many film magazines also published sections about this film at the right time. Most media practitioners in the United States are naturally left-wing. Of course, there are also right-wing media. Most of the service targets of right-wing media are some old Americans who are a bit white supremacist. People, in other words, are "red necks" in layman's terms.

These media naturally smelled some accusations of racism in the movie "Get Out", so they did not praise the movie as much as some left-wing media did. They couldn't possibly argue with the source of their rights, so they either ignored or issued veiled criticism of the film.

The film was criticized for deliberately igniting racial conflicts and deliberately inserting racist discussions into a horror film, which seemed nondescript.

It is the fate of the expresser to be criticized. For a film that expresses political views, some people will definitely like it and some will not. This is inevitable. Red necks will be disgusted by any racial film, that's normal.

And this is why Kei Fujiwara chose someone like Jim as the director instead of directing it himself.

Jim believes that if you want to survive in Hollywood, you must play a good role as a leftist. Even if you are not a leftist, you must play such a role well, even if you have to stretch your left foot when you take a break.

Fujiwara Kei agreed with this statement on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.

It is necessary to remain neutral. Although "neutral" is a very abstract concept, people who are more radical than me think that I am a rightist, and people who are more conservative than me think that I am a leftist. No one can remain a neutral forever. All we can do is try our best.

For example, don't be like Jim, who always plays the dove of peace. You can say nice things appropriately, but don’t keep them on your lips.

In fact, Jim is an easy target. I hope those who hate political correctness can focus on attacking this person and not vent their anger on themselves or DreamWorks.

Fujiwara Kei thought.

And Jim is very willing to play this role. As the box office results of "Get Out" are getting higher and higher, Jim's status in Hollywood has also increased significantly, from a new director to a famous director. Young director.

And he kept talking about his various racist opinions on various occasions, and told everyone what kind of thoughts he expressed in the movie "Get Out". For those who don't know, they think this movie is The scripts were all written by him. Kei Fujiwara will never steal his limelight, and even secretly expects him to dance better and better.

Sure enough, just when the total box office of the movie "Get Out" exceeded 250 million, Jim also ushered in a minor public opinion storm of his own.

The reason was simple, he was discovered when he went out to look for a bartender.

In Hollywood, this is actually nothing. As a well-known director, even if you pay for the feet of a bartender in a bar, everyone will just laugh and say that you are really a foot-controller. What really makes him discussed and criticized is something else.

According to a complaint from a bartender at a nightclub, Jim came to the nightclub box that day. This was his first time at the nightclub. The nightclub owner arranged for him many bartenders, of various types.

There were five barmaids, three white and two black, but Jim asked the two black women to leave and only wanted to drink with the white girls. This disappointed the two black women. They originally thought they would get a generous tip, but they were disappointed.

So she wrote about this experience on the forum and published a candid photo to prove the authenticity of her story. In the picture, Jim was holding all white girls in his arms.

"Jim even said: Get rid of these two people and replace them with two fair-skinned girls. I swear, I heard Jim say such things."

The black bartender swore this on the forum.

This seemingly puzzling matter has really caused a lot of discussion in American society, especially Jim's benevolent, moral and anti-racist arguments that have always been disliked by some people. Some people also intend to add fuel to the fire. I want to label Jim a "hypocrite" forever.

You see, this guy keeps speaking up for black people, but he is not even willing to increase the income of hard-working black girls!

Jim had to explain that he had indeed chosen only white girls that day, but it was a coincidence. At that time, he just felt that there were too many people, so he wanted to pick two at random, and he did not mean to drive away the black people.

And Jim swore that he never said anything like "find two fair-skinned people."

But this explanation did not help, and small newspapers on the Internet were full of mockery of him.

Jim had no choice but to go to the nightclub again. This time, he found all black girls, and even asked reporters to take pictures and publish them.

But in this way, it means that there is no three hundred taels of silver here...

However, at this time, "Get Out" has already been completed and ended with a super high box office and profit rate of 270 million. These things have nothing to do with Kei Fujiwara.
