Chapter 101: New Projects (Part 3)
Lao Wang seems to be interested in showing the majesty of the Chinese.
Young people always feel that by giving themselves a woman, they can create a nation...
If you become an animal keeper, can you create a World of Warcraft?
Shen Ming led him to a local club where he had been cheated before...
Admission is 15 dollars, a bottle of beer is 10 dollars, you can watch the performance in the hall for free, and if you want to see a one-on-one move, add an extra 30-100 dollars.
Of course, not only men come here, but also men bring women.
In fact, it's a nightclub, with a bit of color charm.
watched the excited Lao Wang lead a girl into the private room, and five minutes later, he covered his nose and walked out with a very bad face...
"So fast?"
“… The taste is too strong!"
"Haha..."
Ming Tsai can't help it...
If you think about it for yourself, dancing is very physically demanding, people come all the time, you keep dancing, after sweating, and you don't take a shower, the smell of that place...
Secretions combined with urine and sweat...
Riotous!
Can it not be disgusting?
Anyway, normal people can't accept it.
……
Five days later, Wang Yanlin ended his trip and returned to China.
On the first day of returning home, he was pulled by Peng Peng and them.
Lao Wang Yixing said: "Actually, the United States is just like that, there is nothing to do!"
“… You and Shen Ming together, what fun can you have?"
"That is, he has status, fame, money and rights, and he doesn't bother with it, it's a pity that such a good man appears in the entertainment industry!"
"He's quite proud of himself, and he thinks he's a role model for the public..."
"Sometimes I really think that Shen Ming's life is too monotonous, and he stays at home except for movies!"
"Such a person can only appear in the entertainment text of Dianniang after the fight against pornography!"
A few friends, one after another...
Lao Wang helped to refute a few words: "No, in addition to filming in Los Angeles, he occasionally goes to Jack's farm to shoot guns and ride horses, I think he enjoys it!"
"What's the point of that? Horseback riding... It's not a Yanpo!"
"Don't be so dirty in your thoughts... His happiness, you don't know!"
Lao Wang glanced at Peng Peng, and suddenly said, "I heard that he is going to take you with him in the next "Lethal Weapon"?"
"Well, he fought for a long time, and originally wanted me to play the second male lead and play his assistant, but Warner Bros. disagreed, because there has never been a precedent for Chinese actors to occupy the two leading roles, so I was arranged to be the villain of the first part!"
“… He did his best..."
"Well, don't think about it, let's talk about the difference between Hollywood crew work and mainland crew work!"
"The biggest difference is that we are a director-centered system, everything has to be decided by the director, Hollywood is not like this, they have a person in charge of each process, and the assistant director is responsible to the producer, not to the director, and has relative authority in the entire shooting process. Of course, the problem of creation is that the director and the director of photography have the count, but everyone has to listen to the assistant director for the management of the scene, and one of the major responsibilities of the assistant director is to complete the day's shooting content as planned..."
"That assistant director has a lot of power?"
"If you want to follow the script, big-name actors can temporarily change the words, but the general plot direction cannot be changed in any way!"
After thinking about it, Lao Wang said: "Anyway, if you want to play the unspoken rules, the producer will play, and the director doesn't have that right!"
……
"Fight for the Peak Again", the filming cycle is 65 days, which is a relatively conventional shooting time.
Shen Ming will probably stay in the crew for about 45 days - his role is only 70 minutes.
The filming is getting smoother and smoother, and everyone has more and more time to chat together, and in November, the North American film market has a huge loss of the year - "Gemini Killer"!
"Gemini Killer" cost about $140 million to make and about $100 million to market.
Uncle Saddle used advanced "de-aging" and high-frame shooting techniques in the film, which was hyped up before the release...
Then, a huge loss at the box office!
Word of mouth is also a mess!
"Gemini Killer" overseas IMDB score, 5.7 points, fail;
As for China, the Douban score is 7.1 points, which is not too bad, but in Li An's resume, it is already the penultimate - the penultimate is "Hulk".
Lee An-chan is really not good at popcorn-style commercial films.
He wanted to join in some discussion, but what kind of mentally retarded would raise a clone and then order the clone to kill his body?
The plot fails, the logic is sparse...
If you give "Twin Killers" a high score, it will be too unfair to Li An's previous works.
In fact, for many audiences, the sense of immersion created through technology is far less immersive than a good story, and the movie itself does not need "high frame rates" to achieve "reality", as if 3D is just technology, not the movie itself!
If humanity only wanted to see more clearly, then cinema should have been eliminated from the beginning...
Uncle Saddle is a little off...
Jack Black: "'Fighter' is pretty good!"
“… Thank you!"
"Fighter" was released...
Word-of-mouth and box office performance are very good, and it has entered the awards season!
Lao Mei still likes this kind of decent inspirational story, without any show-off skills, just simply promoting the plot through the story!
This movie is taking the route of the awards season, with small-scale screenings, and then released in 2,200 theaters, with a box office score of $23 million in the first weekend, which seems to be tepid, but the word of mouth exploded, and a bunch of critics, including the media, praised it all kindly...
I really can't find a movie to praise this year...
Not surprisingly, there is no suspense at the North American box office breaking 100 million, and Focus Entertainment is ready for the global opening...
With a production cost of 55 million, it is not a problem to win 300 million box office worldwide, and Shen Ming's investment will definitely be recovered.
Karen Gillan walked over: "Shen, is there any script that found you?"
“… Not really!"
Ming Tsai is almost out of the North American independent film industry - most of the people he used to work with were recruited by big studios, and even Damien Chazelle signed a three-film contract with Netflix and became a part-time worker...
Hollywood's investment in outstanding talent is not weaker than Huayi...
"What's the right role for me, don't forget me!"
"Of course!"
Karen Gillan...
Not only her, but many actresses who have made achievements in the field of commercial films want to win an award.
"Karen, the other day, Bradley Cooper told me about a project called "Honeymoon with Harry", and there is a character in it that is quite suitable for you!"
Karen Gillan: "... Bradley Cooper?
"Yes, it's a bit of a comedy, Robert De Niro will also star!"
“… Are you joining in?"
"Of course, Bradley is going to direct, not acting, I'm the male lead!"
"OK, I'll go audition!"
Karen Gillan left, and Jack Black frowned: "Honeymoon with Harry?"
"Yes!"
"I know that project, it seems to say that the heroine hangs, and..."
"Shhh
"Honeymoon with Harry", the story is very simple, after Harry meets true love, he changes his mind and prepares to enter the marriage hall with him. However, on the eve of the wedding, the girl died unexpectedly, and the groom was sad to embark on his honeymoon journey alone, borrowing wine to kill his sorrows. Coincidentally, the old father-in-law, who had always disagreed with his daughter's marriage to him, met him on the way, and the latter was on his way to his daughter's favorite beach, where he was going to scatter her ashes...
The whole story revolves around the relationship between the old father-in-law and Harry...
