Chapter 813 Disgusting others, whispering

Seeing that Zhou Xia didn't talk about the new movie, Sisi and Yu Fei stopped asking, and instead asked about "Carol".

"Why do you want to make a lesbian movie like "Carol"? Zhou Xia, what's so good about this kind of subject matter, and invite a new Oscar-winning actress like Kate, how high is the salary, and you're going to lose money."

Sisi stared at Zhou Xia, pursed her mouth and said.

"You still worry a lot, but it's true that the box office won't be good, but it's not too bad to lose money."

"Then why do you make this kind of movie, can you win the award for sure? If you make a film like "Brokeback Mountain", you may still win the award."

Yu Fei also couldn't help teasing from the side.

"Hehehehe, "Brokeback Mountain" is good, Zhou Xia, if you play the leading role, if you find someone else, it will definitely be a hit at the box office. Yufei and I will definitely book hundreds of shows to support you."

Sisi couldn't help laughing and said.

"Hehe." Yu Fei on the side was also amused.

Even the assistants of the three people sitting in front were suppressing their laughter.

But they are also looking forward to Zhou Xia making this kind of movie. After all, after watching so many movies now, Zhou Xia only shows his upper body in it, showing off his muscles, and he hasn't shown his lower abdomen and waist.

Back then, actor Liang showing his butt could make female movie fans all over the country orgasm. Zhou Xia is more handsome and has more fans, but that didn't cause a lot of female fans to go crazy.

"Sisi, when did you gossip like this, put your heart into your acting, get some awards early, otherwise, in a few years you'll be dead."

Zhou Xia couldn't help but sarcastically said.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about it, I have my own style and line, and no one can replace me!" Sisi countered stiffly.

"Hehe, yes, your style is to stare, hohoha, your way is to be a real woman!"

"Tch, I just know that I'm talking nonsense. I'm playing a jiaofang oiran in the new drama "Xiuchun Knife". There are so many styles. Is it a bit popular?"

"Okay, Sisi, you've been fooled. Talk about "Carol"." Seeing that Sisi and Zhou Xia were arguing, Yu Fei immediately reminded her.

The two couldn't ask about Zhou Xia's new movie, and they had a bad feeling when they thought that Zhou Xia was going to make a lesbian movie.

Zhou Xia filmed two action scenes in Hollywood, participated in an Oscar ceremony, and had an affair with her eldest cousin and widow sister.

It's not clear what will happen when you make big-scale lesbian movies these days.

Although this is a film art creation, they always feel that bad things will happen.

"That's right, if you travel all the way to Hollywood to make a lesbian-themed movie, can't you find someone to make it in China? In China, you can use whoever you want, and when you want to start it, others will adjust the schedule for you. Why bother?" Asking for help like this now? Compressing my schedule? Someone must have another plan!"

Sisi immediately returned to the topic, and said sarcastically to Zhou Xia.

"I have long hair but short knowledge, so I'm too lazy to explain to you." Zhou Xia finished speaking, ignored the two, and looked out the car window.

"Carol" is a film that has received extreme reviews from film and television circles and critics.

The film and television industry has mixed praise and criticism for it, and is not satisfied with its standard.

Famous film critic Steve McFarrow: ""Carol" is like the exquisite windows of New York's Fifth Avenue during Christmas. It is serious and garish, and it is also hidden behind layers of glass. The purpose is to prove once again during the awards season that Cate Blanchett is the "great performer" in today's showbiz. But this play by Hines, in addition to making the audience wonder after watching it: a movie with such a slow pace , lesbian themes, and how period dramas were invested and shot, and the aftertaste left for them to think about is really pitiful.”

Famous film critic Ben Kroll: "Objectively speaking, Todd Haynes' "Carol" is beautiful. The performance is impeccable, the photography is unforgettable, and the details are meticulous. But unexpectedly, she made me feel a little bit sad after watching it. "cold"."

In addition to these, there are other more judgments on the content, and I will not list them one by one.

But on the contrary, the critics were unanimously praised and gave high affirmation. It also won Cannes and Golden Globes, and also won four Oscar nominations.

"A very slender movie, a lot of details highlight the atmosphere of the era, make the movie full of tension, and bring an extremely luxurious audio-visual experience, just like the romantic love of a long poem..."

Why is there such a big difference in the evaluations of professional filmmakers and the media?
To a large extent, it is due to different professional standards, and political correctness!
No matter which country in the world, it is politically correct.

In this day and age, shooting movies with same-sex themes is 'progress', speaking for a few people.

As long as the quality of the film is acceptable, it will win awards in many film festivals, even if it is not very good, it will also receive an encouragement award.

There is nothing wrong with this. It shows that the society is becoming more and more tolerant, which is indeed a kind of progress.

But "Carol" is not a simple lesbian movie, she has a historical and political background.

It reflects the cold violence, oppression and mutilation of vulnerable groups caused by the rigid social atmosphere during the rule of Heisen Howell in the United States in the 50s.

Why was homosexuality so hard at that time?
At that time, the United States was in unprecedented turmoil. It was the era when McCarthyism was prevalent. The ten gentlemen in Hollywood were found out, and the black civil rights movement in the United States was hit hard. At that time, the "Purple Terror" of anti-identity followed the "Red Terror" like a shadow!
Government departments even hired professional investigators to cleanse people with "abnormal" sexual orientation across the country!

But the movie hardly shows any of these, which is why the original novel has been dragged until now, and it was filmed during the black president of the United States!
In the movie, Carol wanted to divorce her husband because she fell in love with Terris. She was secretly filmed spending the night with Terris, and then forced her to give up child custody, visitation rights, etc. because she was gay.

Among them, the movie did not show it in too much detail, it was all just a glimpse, and the other related social atmospheres were not described too much.

To sum up, "Carol" is not liked by industry professionals for several reasons.

1. The narrative rhythm of the story is slow, and the theme of same-sex love is a bit boring.

2. The male characters (Richard and Hatch) were portrayed by the screenwriters as too facial and narrow-minded. Fortunately, the actors performed in a layered manner, so they did not fail too much
3. Carroll's description in the context of that era is too superficial and evasive.

4. The love story between Carol and Terris is sold by the director, using flashy techniques similar to Fifth Avenue display windows to make the audience believe that fairy tales are really possible!

In the background of the times at that time, the love between Carol and Terris was beautiful, but it would not be as beautiful as a fairy tale!
They don't know how many times they have to go through the neglect and persecution of the society around them. Even if they can get together, it is very painful and difficult.

Moreover, it is basically impossible to come together in an aboveboard manner.

At the end of the movie, Carol and Terris look at each other across the crowd. Some people think that love brought them together, but some people think that they have forgotten each other since then.

This is caused by the different understanding of the background theory of the time.

Zhou Xiaming knows the situation of this movie, and he may not win a big prize if he shoots it. Why do he still make this movie?

Because he was disgusted at the Oscars, so he decided to disgust others and return it!
Of course, this idea is deep in his heart, and he will not tell anyone.

Moreover, some adjustments in the movie will not touch the red line, lest the movie cannot be screened, and then everything will be done in vain.

"Hey, hello, hello, so-and-so is being talked about, are you afraid to face it?" Seeing Zhou Xia looking out the car window, ignoring her and Yu Fei, Sisi shouted a few times mockingly.

"Ha ha."

Zhou Xia turned her head back, looked at the two beauties with a smile, and felt that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be closer than before.

It's true, what happened last night, of course the relationship will be closer.

Seeing Zhou Xia sizing her and Sisi up like that, Yu Fei frowned slightly and said, "Then tell us the reason, see if it's because we have long hair but short knowledge, or you're just trying to cover up."

"Then what I want to say makes sense, what should I do?"

Zhou Xia looked at the three assistants in the front row, leaned back, lowered his voice, and continued: "How about you still accompany me like last night?"

"Hmph!" Sisi snorted coldly.

"Dream!" Yu Fei scolded lightly.

"Forget it, why should I explain it to you, making it seem like I really have a ghost in my heart." Zhou Xia shrugged and said indifferently.

Sisi and Yufei glanced at each other and fell silent.

Soon, Sisi bit her red lips, leaned close to Zhou Xia's ear and whispered: "Tell me quietly, I will help you on the plane later..."
