Chapter 64: Awesome Movie (8/21 Plus Update)
Domestically, the private parties organized by the sugar producers continued, and they talked about movies.
Wan Qian suddenly proposed: "What do you think if we can work together on a movie?"
"Okay!"
Jiao Erbao was the first to pro...
"Thinking too much, how can there be such a suitable script?"
Chen Zhixi is very optimistic...
Although she is not very sober, she can still understand many things with many years of production experience: "First of all, the weight of the role is not easy to arrange!"
Sugar Candy interrupted her: "I can play a supporting role!"
"You play the supporting role, so who will play the leading role?"
Without waiting to talk to Tangtang, Chen Zhixi continued: "The film industry has always been dominated by male actors, in fact, with the further development of the film industry, the film market will be filled with all kinds of big-budget industrial films, all kinds of science fiction films and action movies, and many big-budget commercial films will not even have bordered actresses!"
After a pause, Chen Zhixi continued: "This is the inevitable trend of the development of the film industry!"
"But, Sidan Shuangbing..."
"That's because co-productions must have mainland actors!"
Chen Zhixi's words are absolute, but it is also a fact, even in Hollywood, there are few actresses in the 20 million club...
Wan Qian was very unhappy and unconvinced: "I can let Xiaoran write a script!"
Tangtang nodded: "He showed me a script called "Sunshine Sisters" before, I think it's quite suitable!"
"What's the plot?"
It probably tells the humorous story of the middle-aged women in the middle school sister group "Sunny" of the "Seven Princesses" who reunite after 25 years and look for memories of their youth... Here's the plot..."
After listening to her, several people had different faces...
It's a great story, but... 25 years later, the story of about forty years old...
They are not old enough...
"It's okay, let's search for scripts together, and we will always find the right one!"
"Let Xiaoran write another edition!"
"Yes, he's talented anyway!"
Poor Teacher Lu, who is in the United States, was arranged for a group drama...
......
Megan Ellison is currently Hollywood's most up-and-coming independent producer, having invested in many films such as "Lawless", "Kogan's Deal", "Earth Thunder", "The Master", "Assassination Ben **", "Gentle Killing", as well as Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster".
Unlike the mentality of many coal bosses in China who invest in making movies, Megan Ellison not only really loves movies, but also likes to follow the crew around the world.
Thankfully not 2020...
All Hollywood independent directors love her because Meghan Ellison is so refreshing and can help directors solve a lot of practical problems.
That's exactly why other big Hollywood companies hate her.
That's all there is to know about Megan Ellison from the Auxiliaries, and by the way, her brother David Ellison, an airplane fan.
People who have worked with him said: "If you want David Ellison to invest in a film, the conditions are very simple, as long as there is a plane in the film." ”
"However, most of the movies that Megan Ellison likes are art films with humanistic thinking, and she may not be interested in commercial films!"
“... It's okay, I'll talk to her for a few words, it's really not good, I'll buy A24, didn't you say that this company is very fond of small investments and R-rated films?"
"People don't necessarily want to sell the company!"
"Cut, then I'll set up my own!"
With this thought, Lu Xiaoran and Megan Ellison had a good chat, but they were obviously not all the way...
Megan Ellison is more fond of art movies, and Mr. Lu is full of copper smell.
Although she couldn't negotiate, she still warmly introduced her brother David Ellison to Lu Xiaoran.
When she said goodbye, she asked, "Why do you want to make movies?"
Lu Xiaoran didn't think about it: "Because of love!"
......
David Ellison, Lu Xiaoran is not ready to meet.
David Ellison is not an easy master to deal with, what if "Fast and Furious" succeeds and he directly swallows the copyright?
There's no place to cry!
It's time to conclude this trip to North America.
Big Six, he definitely can't squeeze in, Wanda spent so much money, and it was the acquisition of theaters, and the acquisition of Legendary Pictures, and won the title of 'people are stupid and have a lot of money'...
Then go the indie route!
How to do it, Lu Xiaoran is ready to plan well after returning to China...
At this time, the domestic film industry has been messed up by "Let the Bullets Fly"...
How to say it, Jiang Wen is a god!
The story of "Let the Bullets Fly" is very simple, just about a bandit meeting a bully!
The original "Horse Thief" is a very short story, a story of Sichuan's "dragon gate array", which is actually not enough to support a movie.
Jiang Wen's team created a group of various characters, using sharp lines and fast-paced editing to create a completely different movie.
This technique fits well with the classic Hollywood narrative method, that is, a simple saga, but the technique is meticulous, and the characters and scenes are successfully shaped.
The opening chapter is ten white horses pulling two carriages, the green hills are lush, and the colors are vivid.
Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, and Liu Jialing were eating hot pot and singing.
"My Ma Mou goes south and north, relying on being able to be civil and martial, different, not only to eat and drink, but also to snow and moon!"
"Write a poem, write a poem!"
"There must be wind, there must be meat, there must be hot pot, there must be fog, there must be beautiful women, there must be donkeys!"
"Haha..."
Then, a few gunshots rang out, snapping into a big vista, and the white horse broke free and fled in all directions.
The soundtrack to Jean Hisaishi's "The Sun Also Rises" sounds, and a group of men wearing bandit masks ride down the mountain.
The train walks in the forest, the horse travels through the forest, and the verdant shrubs fly by, which has a romantic sense of fierceness!
If it's just that the beginning is so powerful, it is estimated that this movie is at most tied with "Zhao's Orphan", but people are wild from the beginning to the end!
"Third child, go to Shanghai or Pudong?"
"Shanghai is Pudong, Pudong is Shanghai!"
At the end of the movie, it is still a white horse-drawn carriage, driving by without hurry.
Jiang Wen also rode a white horse and followed behind without hurrying. Hisaishi's soundtrack is up again, surrounded by green hills and filled with dust and smoke.
Ang Lee said that there are several elements to a movie, thoughts, feelings, luck, technology, and finally personality.
Jiang Wen's movie is full of personality.
Once this personality is connected with the public...
Everyone thinks this movie is so awesome that it explodes!
"Let the Bullets Fly" is really a gift from Jiang Wen to the audience!
The audience laughed too...
"Let the Bullets Fly" premiered and won 30.18 million box office across the country!
And on the 18th, that is, the third day of the world, its single-day box office even exceeded 60 million, tied with "Avatar" for the most in Chinese film history.
When the box office came out in the first week, this number reached 180 million, surpassing the record of 160 million set by "Tangshan Earthquake".
Everyone knows that "Lone Agent" may end early...
