The My Hollywood System

Chapter 142

[Piece De Resistance, 1917, stole the show in Cannes!

Dream Vision Studio, directed by Lucas Amspoker, 1917, caught the eye at the Cannes International Film Festival. After winning the Prix Du Scenario, as well as the Prix de la mise en scene, as well as the Palme d'Or at Cannes, the film shook the tide around the world as fans were hypnotized by other Dream Vision Productions.

World War I ended nearly a century ago, and now no one remembers it. Most of the world's population today may not know why it is being fought for and what the conditions are like. 1917 Is not interested in answering the first question but passionately devotes itself to describing the latter in visual terms that sweeps you into the story and takes you as if on a wing, though that sometimes stops packing and leaves you in a bloody and muddy hell .

The brutality and urgency of the war expertly portrayed the plot and format of the film, which could hardly be simpler: Two young lance corporals, Schofield (Elijah Thomas) and Blake (Renly Warren), who, trapped with 1,600 other British soldiers in a trench on the Hindenburg Line on April 6, 1917, sent to deliver a letter by General Erinmore (Clark Reed). The letter, to be personally handed over to Colonel Mackenzie (Michael Robert Elrod), the commander of the 2nd battalion, is, it contained an order not to continue the planned attack from the front as intelligence confirmed that it was an enemy trap. The trip required a high-stakes overnight trip across the gruesome, pockmarked terrain until recently occupied by the Germans, meaning traps and other dangers must have lurked along the way.

The simplicity of the setting for cinematic purposes has an undeniable elemental appeal, and Amspoker and Dream Vision cinematographer Jeffery Houslton has set himself the challenge of telling it seamlessly, with no leap of time or visible edits, to depict the entire film.

Schofield was a serious, white, and thin boy of the type often associated with British youth at the time, while Blake was shorter and black-haired, more like a man. As they head for their perilous mission, spring day justice is taken over by the mud and overcast skies, and accompanied by music too exhausting to emphasize the unpleasant. This was a lifeless barren landscape, adorned with barbed wire.

The two men found that the Germans had indeed left their trenches, although it was quite noticeable that their underground structures were much neater and better built than their British counterparts. Even German rats are larger and healthier than the British commonly use. As Houlston's camera slid, swooped, spun, spun, and it seems keen to delve into all the spaces between heaven and hell — although most seem to have already reached the last — unexpected war wages are everywhere to look.

But this new film beats them all in terms of absolute immersion in an inevitable environment, an environment dominated by misery and the constant threat of death in various ways. And while for some time it's hard to take your mind off the hassle of what cameramen and directors have achieved here, it's, at some point you start taking it for granted and become more involved in the specifics of the trip completion.

There was a moment of sad respite with a young woman and a baby that did not belong to her and, with all the chaos, one wondered how it was possible for such a trip to end up in the desired destination. However, the storytelling method remains fused with the aesthetic approach of the whole project, which is to show and not tell, which is to say, and the fate of everyone was ultimately in the hands of the colonel who was sent to be found by the two nomads.

The film continues the pattern Will Evans has shown in his Hollywood debut, introducing new faces straight to the big screen. He never fails to show his talent in finding talent, due to new actors, Elijah Thomas and Renly Warren, who are now promoting the film on talk shows like Tuffin, and Bobby McTaggart's performances, able to captivate audiences with maudlin masterpieces, yet thrilling, enhanced by their phenomenal acting talent.

Their story is now taken by many aspiring artists around the world, as an inspiration for them to achieve their own dreams. Many of these artists are now lined up at the front gate of the DTA to land the same shot as they did.

It is rumored that the film will easily break through 300 – 400 million USD, at the box office, as expected, claimed by an anonymous source from Dream Vision Source, for films made by the film's production studio.

We advise the audience to try this film, as it recreates military history and war in a way that has never been done before.

A solid 9/10 score is a decent rating for this masterpiece.] – Hollywood Insider, Anthony Macy.

There are many such articles that praise and rain down on the film. It's already generating buzz on social media. Fans can't wait to see the film. Will has amassed his own fans, and moviegoers are queuing up to watch a movie written and produced by him.

As for Will himself, he was meeting with Amanda and her marketing team, for [1917].

Mark, one of the first people to oppose Will's risky move in the industry, while part of the company's executive, is now one of his most loyal supporters. He led the marketing team for [1917]. "We continue to hire your 'keyboard fighter' to generate the level of sensation behind the film as usual. While the traffic generated by the films screened at Cannes is at an unprecedented rate, we are still moving forward and hosting more events and talks. the show with the film's main cast, Elijah and Renly have already been to Tuffin and, if I remember correctly, they will be hosted on The Late night with Bobby McTaggart, which airs tonight."

Amanda, who was sitting at the head of the conference table nodded and said, "Good. We don't want to spend money on this film. We want to maximize the revenue generated for this film, and by gaining access to cheap social media marketing, and inviting Talk Show, this film should be able to exceed our expectations again, at the Box office."

Will, who was sitting next to him, nodded and said, "And don't forget our plans outside of the big movie theaters in Hollywood, will produce the word of mouth that is necessary among regular moviegoers. In addition, does anyone have any other ideas for increasing the reach, and the thrill behind the film?"

Will shook his head and said, "I can ask him to post a short post about Sparrow, but I don't want to bother him any further, during his vacation." Moreover, he wanted to immediately start a big project with her, so he wanted her to be as fresh as possible. Her vacation with Susan Levin worked wonders for her, based on the last time they spoke.

Amanda immediately held a meeting and closed it soon after, after discussing the budget they needed to allocate to marketing [1917].

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please applaud Elijah Thomas and Renly Warren! Everybody!" Bobby McTaggart said, as he made a scene in his studio.

Elijah and Renly walk down the foyer, from behind the curtain and onto the set, as they shake hands with the host. They were wearing a neat three-piece navy blue suit. They are here to promote their debut film [1917].

"Please, sit! Welcome to our show, Elijah, Renly. It must have been great to debut with a fantastic masterpiece for both of you. I mean, Will Evans is following his trend of recruiting new talent for his films.Production, how does it feel to be called unknown to both of you?" Bobby said, as he led them to their seats on the sofa, which was placed under the floodlights in the studio.

"It's really life-changing, honestly. We're unknown, in this industry, and what Will Evans has given us, this life-changing opportunity, we were initially overwhelmed." Elijah said, as Renly nodded beside him.

"Yes, one time we gave another audition for a movie, we didn't even know each other, and in the next few months, we were going through a military training camp, he said, and shooting a big movie in the UK is real." Renly added.

"I'll imagine it. Your story is now portrayed as an inspirational story, for aspiring actors around the world, alongside the story of Robert Elrod, and Natalie Bergmann. What would you say to these actors?" ask Boby.

"Well, in my opinion, keep working hard for your dreams, and wait for whatever opportunity life gives you. Once you get that chance, knock on your door, don't let go. Oh, and join the DTA. You never know, Will might put you in a movie like [1917]." Answer Renly.

Bobby laughs and says, "Most likely it happened huh, Will likes to showcase new talent in his movies, so joining the DTA might be a way to find new talent in Hollywood. You play Lance Corporal Schofield, and Blake in the movie, and the cinematography suggests that you take a long shot, some suggest taking nine minutes in one shot. How do you both feel?"

Elijah leads on the question "Well, it's similar to a theatrical performance, on Broadway. Everything was so chaotic, yet they all played a role symphony, and it all felt like it was real. Well, except for the giant camera. But, everything from smoke explosions, bouncing bullets, traps etc are real. There was one point, I remember, where camera operators wore army uniforms as they carried cameras in front of me, as I ran across the field where other soldiers were attacking. They had to mount the cameras quickly on the wires carried in one take, and they ran and joined additional actors on the battlefield. Everything is very realistic."

Renly nodded, "Yes, there was a scene where a plane from the era was used to record the crash, our reaction was quite real at the time, because we really thought that the pilot was going to hit us. They keep that raw reaction in the movie. It was a very good learning experience. We enjoyed the filming. Director Lucas Amspoker, and cinematographer Jeffery Houlston deserve a lot of credit for making it all happen. Like Will Evans for coming up with the idea behind the project ."

Bobby caught it and said, "Yes, Will Evans has made a huge buzz in Hollywood, after his debut in the industry. Where do you think he's going to try his luck next?"

Elijah furrowed his brows, shaking his head, "We cannot say, he is a talented artist. But he is also unpredictable. Whatever it is, we're sure it'll be another incredible entry by her."

The show continued for some time, after which with Bobby throwing jokes, and creating a fantastic vibe overall while building more hype behind [1917].
