Chapter 71: Names (2/8)
"Justice League" hit the streets!
As a big production with an investment of nearly $300 million, the box office in the first weekend did not reach $90 million, and the box office on Sunday was even surpassed by "District 9", which was released for 10 days...
Embarrassing to the point of exploding!
It stands to reason that Superman and Batman are both world-famous big IPs, and the box office and reputation of "Wonder Woman" are also good.
I don't know, anyway, the plot is all kinds of mentally retarded!
The villain is set up to make people speechless, all kinds of invincibility in the early stage, and then Superman ends the battle with one punch...
No, why did Superman form the Justice League if he was so awesome?
Stuck clocking out for two hours?
After the release in the mainland, most people went in with expectations, and then walked out with a look of eating, eliminating all kinds of special effects art piled up with money, just this script, and an episode of "Balala Little Demon Fairy" or "Armored Warrior" is really not much different - everyone has a villain who destroys the world, and then knocks out the boss with a big move...
TOEFL, "District 9" actually bucked the trend and rose a little at the box office...
As for Lethal Weapon...
In recent years, Hollywood has been somewhat depleted of creativity, or rather, they dare not use original films.
Original films, it's hard to achieve box office success!
So what to do?
Learn from Twentieth Century Fox, people restarted "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", made a trilogy, and made a lot of money!
Find your own inventory, so "Mad Max 4: Fury Road", "Alien: Origin", "Jurassic World"
it, it's selling well...
Then look again, Warner Bros. has the rights to Lethal Weapon!
The Lethal Weapons series is an action movie.
Action movies, pay attention to thrills, Lao Mei is now a variety of superheroes, action movie fights, the audience may not be willing to watch...
After thinking about it for a long time, I formulated two plans, the first is to shoot a TV series to see where the wind is going, and the second is to find a popular Chinese actor, just like Jack Lee back then...
They fell in love with Shen Ming.
The salary is still being discussed...
According to Yang Xin's words, 'a long-term contract can be signed, but the first part cannot be less than 8 million US dollars, and there must be more than 8% of the box office share'...
After chatting with Yang Xin, Shen Ming set off to prepare for the airport.
He gave himself three days off, and then returned to Qingdao to continue the filming of "The Wandering Earth".
"By the way, "People" has already made several appointments for interviews, if you have time, take it!"
“… No, I don't need to promote the work!"
"Then you promote yourself. ”
……
"People" magazine, the force is very high.
Sponsored by the People's Publishing House, a state-level authoritative publishing institution, it mainly publishes celebrity biographies and reports on contemporary high-end figures, and is the earliest biographical journal in China.
It was a magazine in the first echelon back then!
Wang Jianlin, Liu Chuanzhi, Ma Yun, Zeng Fanzhi, Lin Yifu, Yuan Longping, Zhang Yimou, etc. have all appeared on the cover of this magazine!
Its audience is mainly between 25 and 45 years old, pursuing quality of life, pursuing life taste, having high image requirements for the brands consumed, and easy to form loyalty.
That is, very typical middle-income people.
In recent years, with the rise of fan culture and the prosperity of self-media, "People" has also begun to put down its figure, who is popular, who is interviewed...
There are topics and explosive points, all for the sake of sales.
There's no way, it's all just right!
Who is the most popular actor this year?
Wu Jing, Shen Ming!
Wu Jing They have already interviewed, last month's topic, the sales of that issue were not small, this month, they want to do Shen Ming's topic!
This person is so interesting, the more I analyze, the more I feel that he seems to have the feeling of being a talker, and there are several circles hidden behind it: the North American independent film circle, Huang Bo, Huang Lei's circle, and his own circle...
got the information of the interview, on November 22, in the afternoon, Zhang Han personally led the team and arrived in Qingdao...
Shen Ming is already filming "The Wandering Earth"...
Zhang Han is very awesome, he was the first to target the pseudo-qigong master Wang Lin back then, and then more and more people stood up and exposed the true face of the so-called qigong master!
He worked as an operations officer in Toutiao, and felt uncomfortable, and the place was different from his own ideas, so he later jumped to "People" as the editor-in-chief.
He came to interview Shen Ming and was completely interested in him.
……
On the set, I was filming the scene where Peng Peng and Shen Ming met for the first time.
Peng Peng plays Li Yiyi, the funny person in the whole team, and also the technical person...
The first time we met, Li Yiyi had just been robbed by the rebels, and this plot will be presented as an easter egg, after all, the feature film has exceeded 120 minutes!
"Don't come, don't come!"
Peng Peng held a hacksaw against Zhao Jinmai's neck: "If any of you dare to come, I will kill her!"
At the moment of emergency, TIM directly pulled out his gun, Shen Ming jumped over, and pressed Peng Peng to the ground with three strikes and five divisions: "We are also a rescue team, not a rebel, you calm down!"
“… Call... Whew..."
"Click... Teacher Shen, isn't the movement too neat?"
Guo Fan looked at the monitor and was a little dissatisfied...
"Liso is not good?"
"No, this action looks like it's only done by practicing the family!"
"Okay, I'll be clumsy then!"
Looking at the monitor, it is true that the moves just now are a little too proficient, and it is completely the action actor who can complete the action.
"Pemba, do it again!"
"No problem!"
Here, Shen Ming is filming, and in the crowd of staff not far away, the "People" camera team led by Zhang Han is constantly filming...
Guo Fan had no opinion on Shen Ming's interview, and even had some surprises.
can not only promote the promotional film, maybe Shen Ming will also introduce him!
Zhang Han departed in the morning and arrived in Qingdao at noon.
I originally wanted to have a brief interview at noon, but when I arrived on the set, I found out that even if I had lunch at noon, the actors would have an hour's break, and during this break, the actors would not take off their costumes!
That can't be helped, during the interview, sitting one-on-one, if Shen Ming doesn't take off his clothes, he can't go down at all - he wants to be videotaped!
Let's do the interview in the evening!
This is the first time Zhang Han has seen Shen Ming acting live, and the first feeling is novelty, and then attitude and respect!
The attitude is very serious, I don't say this, which traffic student is willing to wear dozens of pounds of clothing to film?
And it's still a cut of the board!
Respect is through his conversations with the on-site staff, including the director, scene notes, and actors, all with a respectful attitude, and he will never feel that he is awesome because he is the most popular, and the director's requirements will always come first.
In fact, this is the most basic quality of an actor.
No matter how big your wrist is, when you get to the crew, you should listen to the director, even if you have objections, but the final decision is still the director!
With the most intuitive understanding of the first layer, Zhang Han decided to interview the staff on the scene first...
Sometimes the evaluation of the crew is the most real!
