Chapter 249: "The Call Rings" (3/5 Subscription Requested)
"Bumblebee" was tested in North America, and the reputation was not very good.
Director Travis Knight, who used to do animation, and it was a stop-motion animation.
Generally speaking, even if the characters in the animation are exaggerated, distorted, or even logically collapsed, the audience's tolerance is higher, after all, it is not a dimensional thing.
But once this thing is grafted onto a live-action movie, it's hard!
It will make people feel distorted!
Moreover, the publicity and distribution team of "Bumblebee" is dying, and they did not forget to step on Michael Bay when they were interviewed by the media, and bought the draft to blow up Lavis Knight's so-called "Spielberg successor"; while shouting the slogan of breaking away from his father's control, he wanted to refuse and hype up the rich second generation; a series of porcelain movies, including but not limited to "The Shape of Water", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Super Marines", "ET", "Iron Giant", "Aquaman", "Venom", I can't wait to kick Director Sidao today and punch Nolan tomorrow...
Who are you?
The movie has not yet been released, and the director's private parents are short and trivial and hyped up first.
Rich second generation?
So?
Home production capacity for me to inherit?
Humility is a human virtue.
However, the "Transformers" series is a big IP in China in the real sense - "Transformers 5" is such a bad movie, with a box office of 1.6 billion...
Once a movie-watching frenzy is formed, no one dares to guarantee where the upper limit of "Bumblebee" is...
If "Jumanji: Battle of the Jungle" was published by China Film, there would be no such thing at all, the problem is that China Film did not introduce it, and people chose "Aquaman"...
Minghui Company spent 35 million US dollars to buy out the distribution rights in the mainland, which means that the mainland box office of "Jumanji" must break 700 million, otherwise Minghui Company will not make any money!
That's why Shen Ming cares so much about the schedule!
Cheng Xiao frowned: "But "Big Man" was also released on the 11th!"
“… Huh?"
"The movie I acted in, "The Big Man"... I'm also going to the "Tucao Conference" to promote it!"
“… So what to do? As you can see, we've started the publicity..."
"Forget it, I'll tell them and let them change gears!"
Shen Ming didn't say anything, but asked: "..."Tucao Conference"? Is it Fuji Xun?"
"Yes, I listened to them complain, it's so interesting!"
“… You really should check out the Comedy Central version!"
"I just support domestic production, what's the matter?"
"Of course, you can say anything... Actually, I like Li Dan a lot!"
……
"Ringing Call" won nearly 300 million box office in the first weekend, successfully ending the streak of "Aquaman"...
By the way, "Weather Prediction" and "Martial Arts Monster" released at the same time are weak!
"Weather Explosion", netizens commented: 'The Four Laws of Bad Movies, Xiao Shen Yang + Xiao Yueyue + Homophonic Terrier + Northeast F4. This piece is all occupied. Worst booking of the year!'
With the 'weather pre-explosion', will the 'news link' be far away?'
"Martial Arts Monster" successfully told "Weather Prediction" that you are not the worst of the year - a movie by Liu Weiqiang actually made Liu Zhenwei's level, and it is also convincing.
It's really not how good "Caller Ringing" is, it all depends on the foil of peers, and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" released at the same time is an anime movie...
In Shanghai, Chen Kun and Cheng Xiao were interviewed by "Zha Lang Entertainment"...
"This script was shown to me by Shen Ming, I watched the previous "Perfect Stranger" a few times, and I didn't want to take it, because the original version was a bit depressing..."
"The script is very well written! Compared with the profoundness and depressive nature of the original, the Chinese version explores the topic more in a comedic way. This adaptation adds many contradictions in the context of the Chinese Chinese language, and the actors do not refer to the original interpretation, but use a relaxed and humorous way to tell the emotions of men and women in modern society. ”
Zhalang team: "In the first three days of the weekend, it won a box office score of 280 million, and the word-of-mouth evaluation is very good, what do you think is the reason?"
Chen Kun: "It's still the script, the movie is about the mobile phone problem on the surface, but in essence, it is also about the way to get along between couples and husbands and wives - Wen Bo and Dai Dai convey that husband and wife don't pretend to live their lives, Wu Xiaojiang and Li Nan's problem is the lack of communication between husband and wife, and Jia Di and Bai Xuejiao are saying that two people can get along for a long time based on love, and they can't be mixed with other impure things." ”
"What does Xiao Xiao think?"
“… I think Sister Li Xiao is very powerful, what she writes, you can laugh at the same time, but also have some understanding..."
"I heard that both of them have investment in this drama?"
“… The main selling point of this drama is the story, and we all think it's a great story!"
"Trying comedy, is it stressful for you?"
Chen Kun glanced at Cheng Xiao, and then said first: "I think comedy is something that makes the audience happy, but it is very difficult to act in comedy well, and then this is not an area that I am very good at, but I am willing to try." ”
Cheng Xiao hurriedly nodded: "... Our crew, Sister Mary and Brother Qiao Shan, are very good at comedy, and when I am filming, I always have to consult them..."
"Is there a catch?"
"It doesn't work, Shen Ming told me that not everyone can play comedy, the same line, Sister Mary said it, the audience will laugh, I said it, the audience will be embarrassed..."
“… Xiao Xiao acted very well, especially the scene where he slapped me, which made me stunned, I haven't met a young actor who dares to beat me for a long time!"
Cheng Xiao hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry... You said I should fight hard, otherwise I won't be able to get out..."
“… Haha, that's why I said you're very good, being an actor is a profession, and when we act, we have to get into the characters..."
Chen Kun's various rainbow farts made Cheng Xiao blush...
Then we talked about some interesting things during the shooting...
"We are a crew that loves food, and everyone is fat after filming!"
"Sister Mary brought roast chicken, and then sent hairy crabs, Brother Shan's mother-in-law is from Shaoxing, and the waist flowers made for us are particularly delicious, Sister Lele cooks chicken soup on the spot, makes borscht..."
"What about you?"
"I don't know how to cook, I can only serve snacks!"
"Do you have any regrets?"
Chen Kun said: "The biggest regret should be that Shen Ming didn't come, he was supposed to make a cameo, but he really couldn't spare time because he had to shoot other scenes..."
……
At the end of the interview, Cheng Xiao said goodbye to Brother Kun and was about to go back to the room, when Chen Kun suddenly asked, "Xiao Xiao, where is your Shen Ming?"
“… He went to the United States to promote the film ... Are you looking for him?!"
"There's nothing to talk about, forget it, I'll call him again when he returns home!"
With a wave of his hand, Chen Kun left...
Milk Xiao pursed his lips, and then dialed Shen Ming's phone, waited for about half a minute, but couldn't get through, it is estimated that he is working...
That's right, Shen Ming is working, he is in a theater in Los Angeles with Jack Black and Karen Gillan, being questioned by reporters...
