Chapter 1075: The Axe Gang North America Divides the Rudder
Because he did not attend the premiere of "Life and Death Fight" last year, after receiving a call from Uwe Ball this year, Ronan took time out to attend the world premiere of "Lincoln the Vampire Slayer".
This spoof film, which can be classified as a superhero movie, is also the opening masterpiece of the "Cinematic Universe of Famous Men in American History".
There's "The Witcher Washington" in the back.
"The filming of this film has long been over. ”
In the premiere theater, Uwe Bauer said to Ronan: "Post-production is underway, it will be completed in March at the earliest, and if the company's schedule is right, it will be released in the second half of the year." ”
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Uwe, you go to the embassy film to talk to Thomas, and you can discuss the specifics." ”
Ronan basically rarely cares about these specific matters in terms of filming, distribution and release, and there is already a relatively mature and complete operating mechanism below.
The investment in the film is limited, the scale of the premiere is not large, except for the main creative staff of the crew and the stars who have worked with Uwe Bauer in the past, there are not many guests, Uwe Bauer took advantage of the time and said to Ronan: "After filming "The Witcher Washington", I also think about the future films. ”
Ronan was intrigued and asked, "Decided on the project?"
"It's basically fixed, with some changes. Uwe Bauer, with his forehead shining brighter, said, "Jefferson and Franklin will both appear in "The Witcher Washington," and I plan to shoot "Franklin the Magister" in the next one." ”
This was not something Ronan expected, after all, the two had talked before.
"Thunderbolt Magister Franklin. Ronan said.
Uwe Bauer solemnly: "Yes, Franklin will be a thunderbolt magister in the setting. ”
Ronan nodded slightly, and saw a big fat man.
"Hello, Ronan. Harvey Weinstein greeted Ronan with a smile and lowered his posture: "Long time no see." ”
Ronan shook his hand, "I didn't expect to see you here, Harvey." ”
Uwe Ball also shook hands with Harvey Weinstein and said hello before going somewhere else.
Harvey Weinstein said: "I met Uwe some time ago and accepted his invitation to come to the premiere, and I've always been interested in this kind of spoof movie. ”
This is also relatively true, and the "Screaming" series was supported by Harvey Weinstein before it was finally approved by Dimen Pictures.
Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment's spoof genre movies also borrowed from the model of "Screaming". He instead asked, "What about the fact that Weinstein Pictures doesn't have any work this season?"
Harvey Weinstein sighed softly: "This year is not going well, I originally thought that "The Mist" could gain something, but the box office and word of mouth were not ideal. ”
Ronan knows the film, the horror film based on the same name by Stephen King,
"And. Harvey Weinstein's words continue: "Quentin Tarantino's film screwed up too. ”
Ronan continued: "I watched "The Torture Room", which is really very good for a certain type of audience, but it is too niche. ”
Harvey Weinstein has a bit of a headache: "The investment is high. ”
"Maybe we can make a difference in the DVD market," Ronan said. ”
"The Torture Room" is made up of two typical cult films, "Death Proof" directed by Quentin Tarantino and "Planet of Terror" directed by Robert Rodriguez, which is a parody of the mill films of the sixties and seventies of the last world.
For some cult fans, this film is very exciting, such as the machine gun heroine in "Terror Planet".
But the film was too niche after all, and it cost more than $60 million to produce, and in the end it was deliberately made into a rough mill movie, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
Harvey Weinstein said at this time: "I originally hoped that these two films would make it to this year's awards season, but the results were ......" He paused and said: "The two projects that Miramax participated in "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood is Coming" were both left by me before, and I couldn't take them away because of copyright issues, so I had to miss them. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "Missed this year, and there is next year." ”
Harvey Weinstein laughs, "I teamed up with Kate Winslet to make a new film in preparation for the next awards season. ”
Ronan has a general impression that Kate Winslet was promoted by Harvey Weinstein to the Oscar for Best Actress, and after calculation, Harvey Weinstein won far more Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress than for male awards.
This is actually very revealing.
Do the math, Gwyneth Paltrow, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lawrence......
The former Harvey Weinstein can be said to be the ticket to movie paradise, where there are good scripts, good opportunities, and honorary money that no one can refuse.
But the walls fell down, and the trees fell and scattered.
If you look at it from Harvey Weinstein's point of view: You slept with me in order to get Oscar, and now you are suing me for sexual harassment, and you still have to pay compensation?
Hollywood is a microcosm of this world, but the world's pursuit of fame and fortune has been infinitely expanded.
The experience of Harvey Weinstein was a lesson, and it was one of the reasons why Ronan never thought of finding a Hollywood actress as an official girlfriend and set up a vault.
climbed to the pinnacle of the Oscars through someone's bed, but turned around and trampled the bed owner to death, for this group of Hollywood actresses, there is no psychological burden to do.
But in the environment of Hollywood, it is difficult to say whether these actresses are right or wrong.
For people who have nothing but themselves, if they want to change their fate, they really have to fight with their lives.
Uwe Ball has a certain essence, Lincoln as a protagonist, as a hero, of course, if he comes up, he will die and die.
So, just a few minutes into the movie, Lincoln's mother is killed by a vampire, so the murderous President becomes a literate vampire hunter under the teaching of a former vampire hunter.
As for the villains, since there is Lincoln, the vampires are, of course, those southern planters.
They defended slavery, not only for economic gain, but also for their own blood-sucking needs.
In fact, after watching too many Hollywood movies, it is not difficult to find that many movies involving the Civil War set the characters of the South as the sympathetic side, not talking about righteousness, but leaning towards the South in terms of emotions and characters.
This is related to the fact that Hollywood movies are always good at doing so-called humanistic thinking from the perspective of the winner.
Probably, maybe, perhaps, the Northern Army of that year also made many people not feel good.
According to many accounts, the Northern Army went all the way south to Sanguang, and it is said that the saturated artillery bombardment blew up the entire city of Atlanta by three meters.
In short, no one on either side should say anything.
The film looks relaxed and stress-free, and the camera is focused on Lincoln.
Having said that, what the audience wants to see is how Lincoln does a vampire hunter, and they really want to see vampires, which are all over Hollywood.
Due to the limited investment in the film, the picture effect presented by "Vampire Hunter Lincoln" can only be said to be at the level of a second-rate plasma film.
But Uwe Bauer has also accumulated some experience through the filming of many game adaptations, and directly made the movie in the form of character farming in video games.
In order to connect with the later films, Lincoln was given a seemingly ordinary axe in an abandoned manor in Virginia.
The axe was left behind by Washington.
The nonsense plot made the audience quite painful, and even Washington pulled it out......
And so, the great axe of the murderous President began to be hungry and thirsty.
This kind of film, just pay attention to a cool!
Some people watch movies and pay attention to ideas, plots, or whatever, but there are always some movies that tell the audience through facts that when they are extreme at some levels, the plot idea or anything doesn't matter at all.
When Lincoln, wearing a gentleman's hat and a decent suit, flew up and down with an unrealistically smooth movement to kill vampires, wielding a board axe left by Washington, the refreshing feeling came naturally.
Lincoln played with the axe and continued to create a bloody feast of blood.
Later, Lincoln found that one person could not handle so many vampires in the South, so he simply changed course and entered politics, and with the help of Washington's big axe spirit, he became the commander of the United States.
As a result, the coolest scene in the whole film appeared.
The armies of the North and the South confronted each other, and in the face of the southern vampire army, the Northern army was defeated again and again, and in the most critical battle, Lincoln stood in front of the Northern army.
This is a world with a magical background, and Lincoln, who has received the blessing of Washington's demon hunting, directly opened the Peerless in the attack of the Southern Army.
A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops to meet each other!
Attention! Attention! The Axe Gang has officially opened its division in the United States! Hurry up and sign up!
History class is really too tricky, and I don't dare to say that the Civil War ended with an axe!
On the battlefield, the vampires were vulnerable to the slaughter of the peerless Lincoln, and finally an inexplicable terrifying existence came.
The vampire progenitor, who claims to be one of the Old Rulers, has descended on the vampire lord of the battlefield, Lincoln's mother-killer.
Absurdity, horror and gore became the theme of the final war.
Lincoln's big axe is!
He rushed forward and fought a great battle against the terrifying existence that was about to destroy America.
The moment of truth has come, and Lincoln is not strong enough!
But at this moment, Lincoln was not fighting alone!
Washington the Witcher, Franklin, the Thunderbolt Magister, Grand Druid Jefferson, and many more.
Soul possession!
At this moment, Lincoln is not only fighting for himself, his own people, and his own country, but also fighting against the vampires of the whole world, and fighting against the inexplicable horror of the whole world!
The unparalleled Lincoln is not ordinarily terrible, but it is a pity that the ancestor of the vampires who have been immortal for thousands of years in the south, and after waiting for a thousand years, he can finally show himself in the sun, so he is reluctant to go to hell.
