It's actually "The Amazing Spider-Man"! This is definitely an unexpected project. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What surprised Lan Li was not the "amazing Spider-Man" itself, but that Sony Pictures actually announced the performance opportunities of such a top work so generously and opened up the participation of all actors, which is definitely enough news to make the whole Hollywood sensation, no wonder Lisa was so mysterious just now.
As we all know, "Spider-Man" released in 2002 is of epoch-making significance, which is not only the first work in film history to break 100 million at the box office in its opening weekend, but also reawakens the vitality of comic book adaptations, and has since opened a new field in the blockbuster era - the strong attack of the Marvel Universe.
In the past few years, the "Spider-Man" trilogy has created many eye-catching records, and it is definitely one of the most successful series of movies in the 21st century.
In 2007, after the successful conclusion of "Spider-Man 3", Sony Pictures has not given up the follow-up development of the series of movies, and with the strong rise of "Iron Man", the plan of "Spider-Man 4" was naturally proposed. However, Sam-Raimi, the director of the series, believes that the series has lost its vitality and that the series must be restarted instead of continuing to shoot a sequel.
So, this is the "Amazing Spider-Man".
Generally speaking, the top projects with an investment of more than 100 million yuan are high-profile interest wrestling fields, and all resources are firmly in the hands of the five major brokerage companies, just like "Thor", only a small part of the real population can access these projects, and the exchange of interests and the use of contacts are the key keys to determining the cast lineup.
But now, Sony Pictures has generously announced the project of "The Amazing Spider-Man", and it is still choosing the hero and heroine!
It is no exaggeration to say that the project of "The Amazing Spider-Man" is enough to attract any young actor to join, with an investment of 230 million, the success of the previous series, the strong support of Sony Pictures, and the attention of all people...... It's enough to make the project the center of attention, and for all the young actors to follow suit.
In comparison, the entire size of "Thor" has been reduced by one size, and neither the amount of investment nor the work itself can be compared. Not to mention Lisa, even the top agents who are used to seeing the big world are bound to rush in.
Lan Li has to admit that this promotional strategy of Sony Pictures is really beautiful. "The Amazing Spider-Man" has not yet started filming, and the news of the audition for the leading actor is bound to cause major media to report on it, firing the first shot for the promotion of the movie.
As for the final actor selection, it is estimated that it will still be produced among the newcomers in the hands of those big-name agents. For example, Andrew-Garfield, who had the last laugh in his last life. Sony Pictures has earned enough eyeballs and profits, and it has been invincible in one fell swoop.
However, Lan Li rejected "Thor", and naturally had no interest in "The Amazing Spider-Man".
First, because the essence of these two series of works is actually the same, there is not much difference, if Lan Li chooses a superhero himself, he is most interested in Deadpool in the "X-Men" series, Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and Ant-Man in "Ant-Man", these superheroes with unique styles and swords are the most interesting, just like Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
The second is because "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a completely disappointing series, Sony Pictures is too anxious to restart the series, so that the positioning and the grasp of the main line are not very clear and clear, and the box office returns are unsatisfactory, although there is no loss, but the trilogy series has only been filmed twice, Sony Pictures still took the initiative to stop, cut it in half, and then re-selected younger high school actors, and launched a more youthful new "Spider-Man" series.
Therefore, having given up "Thor", Lan Li has no reason to choose "The Amazing Spider-Man".
Thinking of this, Lan Li has a sense of absurdity, he is now a rookie newcomer with nothing and two sleeves, but he is standing here to pick and choose, not to mention whether he is willing to play "Thor" or "The Amazing Spider-Man", in fact, "Thor" just gave him a chance to audition, even if he participates in the audition, he may not be selected. In the current situation, he is the one waiting to be picked, not the one who has the right to choose.
Lan Li pursed her lips and couldn't help it. That's good, they don't look down on him, and he doesn't look down on them.
Turning his gaze away from The Amazing Spider-Man, Lan Li carefully browsed through the bulletin board.
In fact, Lan Li likes to browse the bulletin board of the Screen Actors Guild very much, because he can always see countless information on this small bulletin board, referring to the memories of his previous life to follow the map, not only with "The Amazing Spider-Man", "Super 8", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and other big projects, but also many independent movies that have never heard of it, which is also a side of Hollywood that is not known to the public.
In fact, Hollywood can release less than 600 movies in theaters every year, taking the past 2009 as an example, there are only 521 works that are screened in theaters or on trial or released in the whole year; in addition, there are art theaters in North America and continental Europe, which specialize in showing niche and unpopular works of art, but the operation of art theaters is very difficult, the number of screens is also very limited, and only about 100 films can win screening opportunities every year.
What about other film projects? Every year, more than 2,000 film projects are registered, or even more, and more than half of these works cannot be released in theaters, and they either go directly to the DVD distribution route, choose to upload them on the Internet, or pile up dust in the corner.
This is what Hollywood is really like, and the glitz and glamour in the spotlight is just the tip of the iceberg, and the darkness takes over the wider world.
Now Lan Li is standing in the dark world and groping, the "Pacific War" is just a faint candlelight, and if you want to illuminate the whole world, there is still a long road ahead ahead.
Lacking the filtering and screening of brokers, Lanli is looking for a needle in a haystack in the union, and it is really not an easy task to find a suitable project. Even if Lan Li has the advantage of being reborn, the bulletin board in front of him is so dazzling, it still makes people's eyes sour, not to mention those actors who don't have this advantage? Therefore, Lisa couldn't help but suggest that Lan Li had better seize the opportunity of the "Pacific War" and find a suitable agent to start his career quickly.
Seeing the last corner of the bulletin board, a huge amount of information slipped through the gap like gravel. Another day of futile searching. Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, whenever this time, he would also question whether his persistence was doing useless work, if he agreed to Andy Rodgers' signing invitation, if he agreed to the audition invitation of "Thor", if he ......
Wait a minute.
Lan Li's pupils shrank, and his gaze fell on the white chalk words in the corner.
The so-called white chalk characters are the most common type of works in the actors' unions: uncertain investment costs, generally speaking, it is likely to be an independent production of less than one million US dollars; uncertain investment companies, generally speaking, companies without official registration information, may be small capital that has just been established, may be projects established on independent fundraising, may be small foreign companies; uncertain actors' salaries, generally speaking, they will not be too high, even if they are the protagonists, the salary of 100,000 yuan is estimated to be enough; uncertain filming cycles, generally speaking, it is possible from a week to a year……
For example, a recent college graduate from film school won a $100,000 scholarship from a foundation, and he wanted to shoot a work that he wrote the script and directed himself.
Such information is white chalk lettering.
If you are unlucky, you can shoot a super bad movie, but you can at least get a few thousand dollars in remuneration, pay rent, and you can also declare to the outside world that "I am an actor who has been on camera"; if you are lucky, you can shoot a good work, maybe you can go to the Sundance Film Festival, regardless of the feedback, this is a qualitative leap for the new actor.
Compared to a big project as unattainable as "The Amazing Spider-Man", the project with white chalk words is much more intimate and lovely.
Of course, the white chalk word project is a gamble, and many times they can't see the script at all, can only hear a basic concept, and have no way to judge the quality of the work, so they can only bite the head.
Such a big gamble is simply more exciting than the Russian turntable. Unless they are desperate, most actors are not willing to try it easily. Otherwise, like "The Big Bang Theory" Rigni, starring in a terrible restrictive movie, it will be a stain that cannot be erased for a lifetime.
However, when Lan Li saw this row of white chalk words, the adrenaline began to burst out continuously, and the irrepressible excitement bubbled in the lungs, as if boiling water had reached the boiling point, and large blisters began to surface, which could burst at any time. The slightly constricted pupils slowly opened, and the light in the depths of the eyes became brighter and brighter.
Lan Li knows that the project he has been looking for has finally reappeared! Not because this work can be as popular as "Thor", not because this work can work with Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks like "Pacific War", nor because this work can sweep thousands of troops at the awards ceremony at the end of the year, but because this work can realize his dream, his dream of being an actor!
The white chalk line reads: "Buried alive".
