"Didn't I already say that I am not in good health and need to sleep!"

"Then you can't go silent for half a year!"

“… This time the choice is good, the box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" should create a big miracle, there is research in North America!"

“… What to study?"

"A movie of less than $5 million has successfully blocked the big production of Marvel's ten-year layout, of course, you have to study it, do you think Hollywood only has Marvel? Many studios are very dissatisfied with Disney's dominance!"

That's...

After "Iron Man", it should be said that after Disney acquired Marvel, Disney will occupy more than three places in the top ten of the North American box office list every year, plus Disney Anime...

Stepping on the horse, Paramount has not been able to squeeze into the top ten of the box office list for three consecutive years...

"Did they come up with anything?"

“… Not yet, but they're interested in you!"

"I know, Universal and Warner Bros. have asked me to be the male lead in the new film!"

“… Yes, it's like this all over the world, if you can help them make money, they will provide more resources!"

Kominsky was very touched...

When he was young, he always thought that acting skills were the foundation of an actor's life, as long as you acted well, you would not have to worry about not having a job.

As it turned out, he was thinking a little biased...

After all, film is a commercial predominant, otherwise, why is there such a term as the film market, not the art market?

If you act well, you might as well sell well!

Kominsky screwed up two big productions in a row, and then he went to the blacklist of the big studios...

No one dared to invest in him!

"Hey, what do you mean when you said I had a good idea?"

"It's to set up a male number one who can travel through time and space at will, for example, the hero's father tells the male protagonist that their family has the superpower of time travel and can go back to the past. ”

“… Your setting is no different from the current online article, I just said it casually!"

Kominsky ignored him, and then told a story about life and time, and finally summed it up: "Life has its original trajectory, there must be imperfections, but there are no shortcuts to life, you can only rely on your own experience and experience." ”

“… What's this story called?"

After a pause, Kominsky continued: "In fact, traveling through time and space is a major factor in Hollywood movies, and "Groundhog Day" and "Edge of Tomorrow" have this factor, if you are interested, you can watch more!"

“… What to see?"

"Take a look at 'The Story', 'Sid Field Classic Plays Tutorial', 'Script Structure Design' including 'The Alchemy of the Screenwriter'..."

Shen Ming frowned: "I still want to learn screenwriting?"

"It's not for you to learn, but for you to understand some of the routines of script compilation, when you have a certain amount of reading, you can judge the reputation and box office volume of the script at a glance!"

“… How is that possible? If you can judge, there will be no loss-making projects in the movie!"

"I mean roughly judging... How can there be a sure way to make money and lose money in film investment!"

"The script you just mentioned..."Time and Space Traveler", can I invest in it?"

“… Of course, but my memory is always limited, you have to learn to form a game by yourself, and judge the merits of the project for yourself!"

"I'm studying, my company is already collecting scripts, and I have already established two works. ”

Shen Ming was very aggrieved...

"Then why don't you star yourself?"

The question...

Asked very well, why didn't Brother Ming star himself?

"Are you worried about ruining your sign, or are you worried about the new director's ability?"

“… I don't think those projects are enough to make me excited, and some new directors don't have enough basic skills!"

Kominsky sighed: "Or your influence is not enough, or your qualifications are too shallow, and you can mobilize too few directors!"

“… Directors are independent individuals, how can I be transferred?"

"Then let me ask you, how many times has Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible" series changed directors?"

“… I don't know!"

"It's changed four times, but the core elements haven't changed, it's Tom Cruise who challenges himself!"

"And none of the directors he used were the top ones..."

Shen Ming listened very seriously.

"To become a superstar, there are two conditions, first, you have to have a few works that are the main box office and box office hits, you are very lucky, you have met this condition..."

"Satisfied? District 9?"

"Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea", Brother Ming is a second starring, and it is by no means the main factor in the success of the movie, the former relies on Wu Jing, and the latter mainly relies on director Lin Chaoxian.

It can also be seen on the poster that the director of "Operation Mekong" is another masterpiece!

Brother Ming served as the male lead, and the highest box office was "District 9", with a mainland box office of nearly 1 billion and a global box office of 560 million US dollars...

But his acting skills are very good, the first Chinese actor in film history to win the Golden Globe Best Actor, plus team marketing...

"No, I'm talking about "Jumanji", if nothing else, this movie can achieve good box office results, and you can use this as a base to slowly expand your status in Hollywood circles!"

Shen Ming interjected: "I already have circles, Damien Chazelle, Jean-Marc Vallée, Neil and Dan Gilroy..."

"Independent film directors are only second-rate directors before they become big-budget directors!"

"What about Ang Lee?"

“… Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" has grossed more than 600 million worldwide, do you think he is an independent filmmaker?"

"Uh..."

You have a point...

"In addition to Hollywood, you have to meet a similar network of contacts in the mainland!"

"But you have a weakness, you don't graduate from any film school, which makes you naturally unrelated to the academy... But it doesn't matter, in the film industry, the academy certainly has advantages, but it doesn't mean that only the academy can produce talents, and Guo Fan, whom you worked with before, is not a graduate of any film school!"

Kominsky continued: "As expected, the total box office of "Living Together in Time and Space" should be more than 1 billion, and you can be regarded as having your own masterpiece..."

"Huh?"

Is Lao Tzu so weak?

It's super first-line, but if you do the math, it's really like this!

"Living Together in Time and Space" is actually very likely to write a new mainland box office record starring himself...

"I'm too weak to step on a horse, and I feel like I'm an international superstar..."

"According to your standards, you are indeed an international superstar, there is no problem with this, you don't have to be arrogant, the global film production center is still in Hollywood, and you are considered a second-tier star in Hollywood!"
