Gilmour Del Toro is probably the most bizarre Oscar winner for best director-I mean more than a decade later.

Can you imagine a director who is obsessed with ghosts when making a cult film, or a person who has made ”Blade Warrior 2” and other Oscar judges who look down on him, will rely on ”The Shape of Water” to defeat ”Three Billboards” in the future. ””, ”Green Book”, ”Dunkirk” and other powerful enemies won the best director, best film.

No one thought about it, including himself.

When he was a child, he was just a fanciful kid. It wasn't until his dad bought the lottery ticket to win the jackpot and became rich overnight that his life became wonderful-this is true.I can also think that everyone wants this kind of luck to come to the possession of the emperor.I want, too.

In order to decorate or embellish the atmosphere of cultural people, his father bought a lot of books and kept them at home.

Gyro was very withdrawn when he was young, and he often liked reading books, especially books such as magic and horror. Early exposure to these small and marginal cultures made his hobbies look really different from ordinary people.

Edgar Allan Poe and HP Kevkratt are two of his favorite writers. When he was 7 years old, he made his own body organ models to scare people.

When he grew up, his enthusiasm for these interests shifted to his fascination with movies. According to his own words, “When he saw those beautiful scenes or interesting monsters, he wanted to turn them into pictures and present them.”

Gyro made his debut as a make-up artist. He did not come from a major because he loves to read, but his grades are bad and he doesn't like school.

In the studio for more than ten years, he has worked in production, art, assistant director, field affairs...Almost every department occupation he has involved.

After thinking that he had accumulated enough experience, he wrote and directed a Spanish film called ”Devil's Silver Claw”, which won many awards in Mexico, but the market did not accept his alternative style. Therefore, he owed a loan of 500,000 US dollars to the issuing company (this product was also scammed, and there was no guarantee for the completion of the film, and the announcement was fooled to bear a lot. Of course, if he did not do this, people probably would not push it. Theater).

Later, the film was screened at the Cannes Film Festival, and it was appreciated and bought the overseas copyright. If there is no such thing, he might be collected by Mexican film companies.He himself said with emotion: ”There is no need to go to jail now.”

After the first time, the second feature film is also logical.

But when he went to Hollywood, he also experienced the power of Hollywood Capital's iron fist.

The investor in the ”Variant DNA” is Miramax (and they are) headed by the Weinstein brothers.

Harvey has a desire for control, and the creative freedom of the director's top has been repeatedly interfered with, and the two sides almost quarreled to remove the film.

This rather painful creative experience also made him return to Mexico again in a desperate manner.

At least, in Mexico, he has great creative freedom.

Then, he released the third feature film ”Ghost Boy Academy”, which is also a Spanish film.

The reputation is good, the market is performing well, and while selling well, it is once again called by Hollywood.

He couldn't help but went to shoot the comic film ”Blade Warrior 2”.

Although he didn't participate in the scriptwriter, and even the producer was in charge, he still had some freedom at all. He could stuff all kinds of bad tastes into it.

After the movie was released, the results were still good, even better than the previous one. At this time, Xinxian Pictures wanted him to continue shooting ”Blade Warrior 3”, but he was not happy because he wanted to shoot his own work and his favorite genre.

As a result, he fell out with New Line Pictures.

......

On the outskirts of Los Angeles, the ”Desolate Mountain Villa”, which is the top studio base in Hollywood, welcomed a guest.

”Hi, York, it's been a long time.” The top is a little fat, and he wears a pair of glasses.

”Toro, you look fatter than before.” York joked.

”What do you find me for?”
