495, ruthless enough!
There are many Chinese actors in Hollywood, and so are directors, but only a few come out in the end.
Needless to say, Ang Lee, and John Woo, in addition to "Mission Impossible 2", which has earned more than $500 million at the global box office in Hollywood, also has the stand-up works that gave him this opportunity, "Broken Arrow" and "Changing Face".
In addition to these two directors whose nationality is Chinese, there are two others who also have good results, even in Hollywood, where there are many big names, their status is also transcendent.
Lin Yibin, as the director of Part 34569 of "Fast and Furious", is enough to make him shine.
The other one is more prominent in Ning Yuan's mind, and he is worthy of the title of 'ghost talent'.
Wen Ziren.
Although born in Malaysia and raised in Australia, Wen Ziren's parents are both Chinese. The reason why he is said to be a genius is because he can skillfully operate a variety of styles.
is famous for the horror film "Chainsaw", but when "Fast and Furious 7" was absent because of Lin Yibin, he was ordered to be in danger, and he still has the ability to control horror movies.
Even after such a major event as the accidental death of the leading actor in "Furious 7", Wen Ziren was stunned to turn the tables against the wind and make "Furious 7" the best in the series, and the cost was low.
Looking at this movie alone, if you don't know the director, it is estimated that no one can see that he used to make horror movies, with a completely different style, and there is no shadow at all.
also because of this excellent performance, Wen Ziren took over Warner's "Aquaman", after Warner's "Justice League" hit the streets, "Aquaman" turned the tables again against the wind under the leadership of Wen Ziren, not only won the audience's reputation, but also the box office was also leveraged, and this also gave him the opportunity to direct "Aquaman 2".
Ning Yuan thinks that the best thing about this guy is not only that he can capture various elements, such as horror, drag racing or fantasy themes, but most importantly, he can play big productions and fight big boats at a small cost.
In addition to "Chainsaw", the most talked about by fans is "Latent" - not Yu Zecheng, but a horror movie.
Although the first evaluation of "Latent" is not bad, there are many people who think that it is a routine, but even if it is a routine, this movie, which cost only 1.5 million, received a box office of 97 million when it was released in 2011, and "Crazy Stone" and "Wulin Gaiden" are far inferior in this rate of return.
Of course, his famous work "Chainsaw" in '04 cost less, 1.2 million received 103 million, and this is dollars.
If you calculate the depreciation, the cost of "Latent" should be lower, after all, from 04 to 11, the ticket price of American movies has also increased from $6 to $8, according to this calculation, $1.2 million in '04 is equivalent to $1.6 million in 11 years.
However, at the box office, "Chainsaw" is equivalent to 137 million, which is higher than "Latent".
In short, they are all small and broad.
In 2011, not to mention the United States, even if it was Huaxia, the cost of 1.5 million US dollars, or tens of millions of Chinese dollars, was basically higher than it for domestic commercial films. And "Beijing 81", which has the highest box office and exceeds 400 million, costs more than 20 million.
As for "Latent", which was evaluated as a routine, when it came to the second part, the audience shouted loudly 'the groove', it turned out that many places in the first part were foreshadowing, and when the second part was connected with the first part, I found that there were so many exquisite designs in the routine.
Naturally, "Latent 2", which invested only 5 million, won a box office of 160 million.
And in "Furious 7", the investment of 200 million in exchange for 1.5 billion was only two years after the 6th part, but the box office doubled, but the eighth part, the investment increased by 50 million, but the box office was nearly 300 million less.
Before this, Wen Ziren had never made this kind of big-production, big-scene movie, but he just got started, and pushed the speed to a new height, before "Aquaman", he also did not shoot this genre, but he still used a cost of 160 million to add a new blockbuster of over one billion to his career.
As for lurking, conjuring, and earlier chainsaws, Wen Ziren is the main screenwriter.
If there is a genius, Ning Yuan feels that he should be the one who is most like, and even Ning Yuan has to wonder if he also took the script of the protagonist of his world.
After all, he was only twenty-seven years old when Chainsaw became famous all over the world, and he was only thirty-eight years old when he became the world's top director with Super 7.
A small man of 1.61 meters, but he has a lot of energy.
Sometimes when I think of the experiences of these successful people, it is not necessarily inspirational, it is likely to be a deeper sense of frustration, just like Ning Yuan's previous life, when he knew this big coffee, his eyes really had to fall off.
Fortunately, in this life, he also has the opportunity to rise with the wind, and even pigs can fly, let alone people.
Cheng Long's fancy for Ning Yuan was originally more of the mainland, and even a literary film could be hit by him at the box office of tens of millions, so is it ...... my hotter commercial film?
Now that "Hero" is selling well in the mainland, Cheng Long naturally cares more about the mainland box office.
In the next time, except for the publicity in Xiangjiang on New Year's Day, starting from the fourth, Ning Yuan followed Cheng Long and his team, almost one city a day in China.
Although tired, seeing the gratifying box office results, everyone felt that it was worth it.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, they came to Echeng to publicize.
Cheng Long looked at the huge poster of the hero at the door of the meeting, and said with a wistful look in his eyes:
"I didn't expect it to be so high, and I was satisfied with one-fifth of it. ”
Now that the hero has been released for a month, the box office has exceeded 200 million, although the trend has slowed down, but according to estimates, it will be released for another month, and it will increase by 50 million, and breaking 200 million and a half is definitely a sure thing.
And one-fifth of what Cheng Long said is 50 million.
In fact, even in Ning Yuan's previous life, the movie that was only released in 04 did not exceed 50 million at the box office in the mainland, but more than 40 million.
But this time Ning Yuan has some confidence, in addition to referring to his roadshow, his own joining, at least he can pull a little more, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too faceless.
Therefore, Ning Yuan smiled: "Definitely can!"
"You said it, you can't compensate me. "Cheng Long hit the snake with the stick.
Only then did Ning Yuan know that he was in a good state of mind, and he started to joke at this time, Ning Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Big brother, be kind." ”
"Kind-hearted and can't eat, you see, how kind I am in the movie, but I am almost killed by you, and I am left with a light commander. Cheng Long spread his hands.
"Otherwise, if you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again, if Guan Zu had brought you together at the beginning, there would have been no such things later. ”
"Ruthless enough!" Cheng Long gave a thumbs up.
Everyone next to him, including Xie Zhufeng, was amused.
The group was talking and laughing, and in the surrounding black crowd and noise, they were escorted in by the theater.
