Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

In the recent North American film and television industry, the popularity of gang films has increased unabated.

Whether it's a movie or a TV gathering, there's a lot of great work out there.

But after watching it, the audience always felt a little unfinished, as if something was missing, but they couldn't tell.

The style of each director is different, and the angle of gang film presentation is also different.

Take Martin Scorsese's "Atlantic Empire."

He is good at discussing the darkness of human nature and some social phenomena during the "Prohibition" period in the 1920s through meticulous characterization and restoration.

Judging from the pilot episode of this drama, the props and scenes are highly restored and well-made.

But the tone of the story is too dull, dark, and slow-paced to be of interest to young people.

Another British drama "Blood Razor Party", with violent aesthetics, punches to the flesh, makes people watch it with incomparable joy and a feeling of cool writing.

Unfortunately, if you look at it carefully, you will find that there are also flaws, and there are many logic bugs.

Especially the heroine has a strong Mary Sue flavor, and the story goes too romantic.

The villains also often have IQ offline, and many viewers give low scores.

In terms of movies, "City of God" is excellent, but the background of the story is destined to be a niche movie that cannot be noticed by the mainstream public.

Once Upon a Time in North America is too long, too trivial, and too emotional.

Although the story is very meaningful, it is not widely accepted by the public.

In addition, there are more gangster films that follow the trend.

Most of the films are hot action scenes, fights, brainless popcorn movies.

Or the director and screenwriter can't control a deep story, and the film is confusing.

For example, the biographical film "Capone Biography" depicting the famous mafia boss Al Capone.

"Tang Lao Wet" starring Tom Hardy couldn't save the game, scoring 5.1 points, and the box office ended dismal.

To sum up, how difficult it is to shoot a gangster film with a good reputation, deep connotation, and high public acceptance.

Many successful directors have overturned one after another, not to mention the 21-year-old Chinese who has directed two movies?

He shoots gangster movies? Will the Mafia?

Does he understand this?

Chu Xuan himself had no idea how arrogant the declaration in his interview was.

If we challenge musical films before, everyone can accept it, but the voices of doubt are limited to some film critics.

So this time Chu Xuan almost made the whole North America unbelievable.

How many senior directors in North America dare not touch this subject, you are really brave!

According to Chu Xuan's interview, it can be analyzed that the gang family after World War II...

After World War II, which is the most famous gang in North America, besides the Mafia Gambino family?

A well-made movie may not always please the audience.

If the filming is bad, it will not only make many directors in North America laugh out loud.

More importantly, the Gambino family is still there!

The current "godfather" of the family, Frank Cary, is still alive and well!

If Chu Xuan has any sign of smearing in the film, he's not a matter of word-of-mouth box-office fiasco.

Maybe Chu Xuan's whole person is in danger!

After the interview, Elizabeth Olsen couldn't wait to punch him in the car.

"Beat me for what?"

"You didn't tell me that the new film is going to shoot the Gambino family story?"

"The movie hasn't been approved yet, and the script hasn't been written yet."

"That's good, don't take these pictures. It's okay to take pictures of the story you told about joining the army for your father last time."

Ao Mei just breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Chu Xuan's eyes firm.

"My words have been released, and I will definitely shoot."

"Eh? But..." Sister Ao was worried.

"What? Don't believe me?"

Stared at by Chu Xuan, Elizabeth Olsen immediately stuck out her tongue:

"No, I'm just worried about you. After all, although those mafia have fallen, they still have a certain amount of energy in North America."

"Don't worry." Chu Xuan drove the car unhurriedly, "I won't have a problem."

Since Chu Xuan is so confident, Elizabeth Olsen can't say anything.

He was not unexpected before, and dared to challenge the limit.

But Chu Xuan achieves great results every time.

Ao Mei gradually felt relieved.

As long as Chu Xuan's movies are good enough, the gangs probably have nothing to say, right?

Sure enough, with the spread of the news, more and more fans posted heated discussions on the Internet.

# Chu Xuan - Gangster Movie

#Chinese director-Gambino family

These entries also quickly entered the hot list of twitter and tiktok!

"Chu Xuan's gangster movie? Wow! I want to watch it!"

"I always feel that he is very flirtatious. After filming horror and song and dance, he went to challenge the gangster after filming song and dance?"

"I think it's better for young directors to focus on one genre... When will "Ghost Records 2" come out?"

"I have been in contact with the Gambino family, and I don't believe that Chu can capture the feeling of that period."

"I guess it's probably a violent action movie."

"Young people, you can make a popcorn movie. It's better not to pursue depth, it's thankless."

"Support Chu Xuan! Why can't Chinese directors film the mafia?"

"The point is, young people didn't understand that at that time..."

The day after Chu Xuan announced the news of the new film, the North American Internet has become a pot of quarrel.

In the comment areas of various platforms, everyone is arguing about Chu Xuan's new film.

Some of Chu Xuan's fans support him and believe that with Chu Xuan's serious attitude, he will definitely be able to make an excellent film.

"La La Land" is the proof. The scene props in it are very detailed and have a retro feel.

Another part of the fans said that Chu Xuan, who started as a DV director, could not handle this theme.

He'd better go back and do Ghost Record 2.

There is even a dedicated Twitter account "Did Chu Xuan film "Ghost Record 2" today?".

This account has millions of fans, which shows that everyone really likes this kind of horror movie.

But Chu Xuan seems to be challenging himself further and further.

Because the discussion was too extensive, this news really reached the ears of the current "godfather" of the New York Gambino family, Frank Cary!

"Boss, it is said that there is a director who may shoot a movie with our family as the background."

"Oh? What director?"

"It's the "La La Land", the Chinese director."

After a moment of silence, Frank Cary said lightly:

"If he did come to New York for a shoot, we'd have the lad."*
