Chapter 650: Pulp Fiction
Of course, Lucas, as a big director, will not look down on a "freelancer" like Quentin Tarantino, and Lucas's films are all big productions, with an investment of no less than five million dollars per film, and the production cost of only a few hundred thousand dollars like this is not eye-catching at all.
Even in the previous life, if the box office of the movie is concerned, Quentin Tarantino's movies are not as good as Lucas, mainly because the styles of the two are different, Lucas's movies are the kind of science fiction movies that attach importance to visual impact and have large scenes, this kind of film has a huge investment, often hundreds of millions of dollars, and its box office is naturally in hundreds of millions, Quentin Tarantino's movies are mainly plots, and the main selling point is the acting skills of the actors. The ingenuity of the script and the sharp editing of the shots, in terms of cost alone, are not too high, at most tens of millions of dollars, the box office of this kind of movie cannot be compared with those super-large production movies, but in terms of yield, the two sides are comparable, even if the ratio of box office and cost is between three and four.
Shengtang Company now has industrial light and magic, which is equivalent to having an artifact, and those super-large films in the future can be produced through industrial light and magic, but this kind of film is also very energy-consuming, and the time spent in the post-production stage is no less than the time taken by the director to shoot, and even more than the time spent on the spot.
On the other hand, the production cycle of general drama films is very short, it can be completed in half a year or even three or four months, although the box office of each film will not be too much, but the yield is not low, since it makes money, where can Liu Lang not do it?
Quentin Tarantino is the first director Liu Lang has met, and he is still a director with a guaranteed box office, of course he will not let him go.
"Name?"
Quentin Tarantino was stunned for a moment, this script really doesn't have an accurate name now, because this story doesn't have a complete central idea, and even there is more than one protagonist.
"I suggest it be called vulgar!"
Liu Lang spoke.
"Vulgar? Well, that's a good name, so let's call it vulgar!"
In this regard, the film that changed Quentin Tarantino's fate was attributed to Liu Lang.
Others didn't take Quentin Tarantino in their eyes,
Liu Lang has hundreds of songs in his mind that will be popular in the future, and he also knows a lot about the movies that will be big hits in the future! These movies are all projects that are sure to make money and not lose money, so why not take them and put them in his pocket?
Quentin Tarantino, the great director, is what Shengtang Company wants to strive for, no, it is not appropriate to use it to fight, the current Quentin is different from the Quentin in the future, his career is unsuccessful now, no one knows his value, Liu Lang will definitely be grateful to Dade if he gives him a chance now.
As for the vulgarity, Liu Lang will definitely invest in filming, although he can also write the script of this movie, but different directors get very different results, Quentin Tarantino is called a ghost director because his style is very different from the style of other directors, he can make money when he comes to shoot, other directors may not, and there is also "Kill Bill" The series of movies also has a strong Quentin style, if you let Lucas shoot it, I'm afraid the cost won't be recovered, as a reborn Liu Lang doesn't need to do everything by himself, he just needs to put the right person in the right place according to the development of his previous life and sit there and wait to collect the money.
"Mr. Quentin, you can write the script at home with peace of mind, don't worry about your livelihood, Brother Lin, you let the finance give Quentin a check for 20,000 US dollars, and I will officially set up the project after the change, and then you can shoot it as a director, as for the actors......... Let's talk about it then!"
There are four main actors in this vulgar movie, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and Bruce Willis, these four people are all A-list stars in Hollywood twenty years later, and their salaries are calculated in tens of millions of dollars, but what about them now Liu Lang doesn't know, he also called Lucas the day before yesterday to ask about these people.
John Travolta, the actor Lucas, knows that this person was already a bit famous in the 70s, participated in some blockbuster movies, and at his peak his salary reached 400,000 dollars, and this person's dancing skills are very good, which can be called a professional level.
But his fame has not been good over the years, mainly because the reputation and box office of the movies he participated in are too low, actors are like this, a classic movie can put you on the altar, a garbage movie can also make you fall very hard, if you make a few garbage movies in a row, then no one will dare to use you, so now John Travolta is very miserable, and the salary will not be higher than 100,000 US dollars.
That Samuel L. Jackson is also a little famous in Hollywood, mainly because he won Best Supporting Actor at the Cannes Film Festival six years ago, but that's all, there have been no good works in recent years, and the salary will not be higher than John Travolta.
Uma Thurman and Bruce Willis didn't know either, and later inquired, Bruce Willis is now just a small person, has participated in several small-budget movies, and is not famous, as for Uma Thurman, he can't find anyone at all, even in Hollywood, he is a passerby-level actor.
It's interesting to see people through history, Bruce Willis is a representative of Hollywood's tough guys twenty years later, the Die Hard series of movies has been a global success, and he himself is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but in '87 he was just an unknown actor, and he was still running for a living every day.
However, this is a good thing for Sheng Tang, and the combined salary of these three actors will not exceed 300,000 US dollars.
As for Uma Thurman, if she doesn't have her, forget it, anyway, her role is very simple, dance a dance and then have convulsions all over her body because of "drug use", and if it doesn't work, find another actor who is not famous to play it.
After the meeting, Liu Lang and Sun Mingren returned to Stanford University, waiting for Ye Jinsheng to come to the United States.
That night, Liu Lang did not read a book, and deliberately sat in front of the TV to watch the news of the day.
Sure enough, the Los Angeles Fire Department's college entrance ceremony for Wayne made headlines in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Times Los Angeles Fire Department Fire Department today held a promotion ceremony for little Wayne, who lost his legs in the fire two years ago, allowing us to see the spiritual power contained in a small child, but another child unexpectedly appeared in this promotion ceremony, this Chinese child named Jimmy Liu is now a graduate student at Stanford University, but he is only seven years old this year, and he deserves to be the youngest graduate student in the world at such a young age.........!
Los Angeles Today Entertainment This Jimmy Liu shocked us not only with his age, but also with a song he wrote and sang, please enjoy it.........!
