Chapter 49: I Look at You with Envy (3/5)
In fact, Hollywood and the United States are not so professional, and sometimes they are very unprofessional.
Even if it's a big production, it's the same, you're a big name, you have the final say!
The "Fast and Furious" series is basically Vin Diesel's word...
He is an investor, has the copyright...
Including the "Mission Impossible" series, it is also Tom's final say.
This is the eternal law of the film industry - whoever can bring in money will have the right to speak!
"Knives Out", the biggest big name, Lu Xiaoran, the story was written by him, the producer is him, and the director is also him...
Anyway, Director Lu didn't think there was anything difficult about Hollywood stars...
But in the eyes of domestic actors, the actors on the other side of the ocean still have a veil of mystery...
It's like Lu Xiaoran, he still thinks Spielberg is amazing...
Therefore, it is normal to pester Lu Xiaoran to ask questions and questions.
......
"Any commercial film can be a big hit, first of all, there must be a good story, let me ask you, when "Jue Ji" was released, many people complained that the special effects of this movie were too fake, if you really find the world's top special effects team, and truly realize the top special effects in the director's mind, all the characters in it are vivid and vivid, do you think Jue Ji will be a big hit?"
"Not at all!"
"Douban scores are not the same thing as commercial movies, let me tell you, in the field of commercial films, the criterion for evaluating the quality of a story is not ideology and artistic degree, but completion. It's like "Titanic" can't win the Palme d'Or or the Golden Bear, but you can't say it's not a good movie. ”
Lu Xiaoran is talking to Wu Jing...
Wu Jing... Really, "Wolf Warrior 2" scored 7.2 points on Douban, are you still not satisfied?
What is Douban?
When they judge a movie, they tend to be more inclined to have a rigorous plot, realistic theme, depth, etc., and a considerable part of them are award-winning films...
That is, the legendary big stuffy film...
Jackie Chan's action movie doesn't have a score of 7 on Douban - the only "Miracle", which is not a pure action movie!
But he still won many annual box office championships and was loved by the audience!
Lu Xiaoran picked up Moutai and took a sip: "I sometimes feel that these people have been kneeling for a long time..."
"Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem", do you know?"
"I know, I heard that I won a prize!"
"There is a comment that goes like this: because the characters are all Chinese, I give a bad review!"
"You say this..."
Wu Jing was energetic: "Any American commercial blockbuster has his American spirit and will in it. Why do we have to separate the commercial from the main theme when we shoot such a thing? Some people wear colored glasses and are used to being bullied by foreigners? Say my personal heroism, say Wu Jing, why can't you fight to death. An American GI is an American GI, he has done a division by himself, he hasn't been shot and hasn't died, I beat a dozen Red Turban soldiers, and if I get shot, I should die?"
"But more people like you!"
“... That's too!"
"By the way, Brother Jing, Wen Ziren asked me to ask you, are you interested in joining the "Great Wall" series..."
"The Great Wall?"
"Yes, he said that he was looking for you to star in the third part, and show his face in the second part..."
"Is there a full script?"
"No, but, the general plot should be..."Lu Xiaoran took out his mobile phone: "Remember, this is his contact information, you can talk to him yourself..."
Wu Jing also took out his mobile phone, memorized it, and then went to find someone else to talk nonsense...
"Wolf Warrior 2" celebration banquet, he is the protagonist!
......
"Wolf Warrior 2" became popular with Wu Jing, Rouba, Secretary Dakang, and of course, Zhang Xincheng, the actor of the bear child!
Zhang Xincheng is really, the first fresh meat at this stage!
"Detective Chinatown" series, "Wolf Warrior 2"...
The high starting point is scary!
He has always been very grateful to Lu Xiaoran, the celebration party, while no one was pestering Lu Xiaoran, he came over with a glass of liquor: "Brother Xiaoran, I salute you..."
Let's drink it all!
Lu Xiaoran was taken aback: "... This is 52 degrees of liquor, you drink less!"
"It's okay..."
Zhang Xincheng waved his hand...
"Tsk, it's good to be young, sometimes, I look at you with envy!"
“...”
Zhang Xincheng wanted to complain, but he was a little afraid of Lu Xiaoran...
Lu Xiaoran was very strict with him, and he could even be called harsh!
Including during the filming of "Detective Chinatown 2", the flesh and blood on Hangweiya's waist were blurred, and even the clothes were reduced...
"Let me tell you, when you are in your twenties, you must know how to restrain yourself, all great people are people who know how to restrain themselves!"
Zhang Xincheng hurriedly defended: "... I'm not in love..."
"You like to talk about it or not, I'm talking about other things!"
“... Well. ”
"I used to be interested in photography, so I signed up for a photography class and studied for three years before I could direct and act on my own..."
It's true, when Lu Xiaoran was young, he liked to taste all kinds of abalone - fresh abalone doesn't need much cooking, you can experience the taste of the sea with your mouth!
But he prefers to devote his time to studying...
You can wave, but you can't fool around...
Many college students, for the sake of temporary pleasure, often do not go to class, or even stay up all night.
This kind of pleasure may not stop at the pleasure of the body, playing games all night, watching dramas all night... It's all counted!
"Be strict with yourself and lenient with others..."
"Hmm..."
"Also, you have to be arrogant, there are a lot of bad dramas and bad shows, if you don't want to take it, don't take it!"
“... The team respects me. ”
Tangtang walked over and said with a smile, "What did you two say?"
"Nothing..."
"Sister Sugar Candy..."
After saying hello, Zhang Xincheng left with great vision, and Tangtang sat down: "Now many people are looking forward to your "Wushuang"!"
"Wushuang?"
"That's right, they're looking forward to seeing you and Wu Jing take turns surpassing each other!"
“... Like Spielberg and George Lucas?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Lu Xiaoran rolled her eyes: "Little sister, do you know what the concept of 5.6 billion is?
"How much box office can "Wushuang" have?"
“... Up to 2 billion... I have to watch other movies in the same schedule!"
"So little?"
"2 billion is less? Are you epilepsy?"
“... You're having a seizure!"
After chatting for a few words, the hot bar also came over with liquor: "Brother Xiaoran, Sister Tangtang..."
Lu Xiaoran frowned directly: "... Don't drink as a girl!"
"It's okay, I can drink a pound!"
It's all over again...
Lu Xiaoran looked at his wine glass, took a sip, and then said, "Eh, I look at you with envy!"
"Huh?"
"It's okay, "Wolf Warrior 2" is doing well, keep up the good work..."
Fat Di left, Lu Xiaoran glanced at Sugar Candy, and then asked, "Do you regret it?"
"Regret what?"
“... That role was meant for you to play!"
