Chapter 119: Losing the Oscars (Fourth Update)
"Is "Lethal Weapon" still filmed?"
"Of course... Why do you ask?"
Peng Peng hesitated for a long time, but Wang Yanlin was more powerful: "The outside world says that your ability to carry the box office has declined, and Hollywood is likely to abandon you!"
“… Think about it too much, the global box office of "Joker" is close to 1 billion, and North America has won nearly 400 million box office, I am almost the most popular in the whole of Hollywood now, who abandoned me?"
Shen Ming was speechless...
Film is both a commodity and an art, and the unremitting exploration and innovation of art can also feed back commercial films, so that they will not be repeated and stagnant.
But it is always commercial films that occupy the mainstream, and the starring movies with a high box office are favored by the studio, which has always been the rule of the movie!
"Don't worry, I'm stable!"
Shen Ming's coffee position is still super first-line, and it is unshakable - he has signed a five-film contract with Warner Bros. and will play the Joker in the DC Cinematic Universe...
In addition, the "Lethal Weapon" series is about to be launched, as well as "Honeymoon with Harry", "Jumanji"...
He is still a hot A coffee in Hollywood!
As for the mainland, there are almost no directors who don't want to work with him...
Let's put it this way, "Emergency Rescue" is fortunately starring him, if Xiao Ming Huang is replaced, the box office will have to be half discounted!
……
"Joker" grossed $380 million at the North American box office...
$980 million at the global box office...
directly set the box office champion of Warner Bros. released movies last year.
This really exceeded expectations, thanks to my peers: "Gemini Killer", "Maleficent 2", "Countdown to Death" are all not powerful...
"Twin Killers", in which Lee explores human nature in a $138 million big-budget commercial film;
"Maleficent 2" was also tragically Waterloo...
Bringing together three generations of goddesses Michelle Pfeiffer, Angelina Jolie, and Elle Fanning, the score was not passed...
A big production of more than 200 million, it is estimated that it will be smashed!
Disney is such an amazing company that can make animated movies so deep, and can also make live-action movies so young...
Visual effects, big-name stars, conservative family carnivals, the plot is too cliché and boring, full of old-fashioned plot settings, and finally there is a round of racial integration - not including Asians...
According to conservative estimates, "Joker" has earned at least $464 million in profits through box office, television, and home theater windows, surpassing the profits set by "Avengers III"...
Originally, many people were optimistic that "Joker" could become an "award harvester" and be eligible to compete for the Oscars.
It's a pity to think too much ...
"Joker" was not only not nominated for the Golden Globe Awards, but the subsequent Oscars also selectively ignored "Joker" - the actor award.
Nominated for Best Director, Best Screenplay...
When the news spread back to China, a bunch of people on the Internet began to accuse Shen Ming and sing him down...
The entertainment industry is really elusive.
Some artists become popular just by relying on a play...
Even if there are no follow-up works, there are still many clusters.
The most typical is Liu Sisi, after "Step by Step", the popularity should not rise too fast, even if none of the subsequent works can be called masterpieces, and even full of bad reviews, her fans still do not give up!
"Embroidered Spring Knife" was released, and discerning people knew at a glance that Xiaoliu was definitely the biggest weakness of the whole movie, but her fans swiped on major forums 'No blowing, no black, after "Embroidered Spring Knife", am I considered a first-line star?'
You're definitely a star...
When it came to Shen Ming, "Joker" was not released in the mainland at all, and a bunch of people actually said that his acting skills were patterned...
also used Heath Ledger to say that 'Shen Ming's acting skills can only fool fans in China, and there is still a gap between him and the world's top!'
How to say it, the Cannes actor is really not good in Hollywood!
The Americans really think they're awesome and don't take Cannes seriously...
Of course, Shen Ming's fans retorted in various ways, from Sino-US values to Sino-US relations, and also said that "Joker" itself was politically incorrect;
It's useless, Kuroko can't listen to any explanation!
Of course, Shen Ming knows this, but a bunch of people in the company are encouraging him, saying that he has no problem, and the problem is the world...
You see, he has to go out and go and stay any longer, he really thinks it's the world that is wrong!
Actors have been doing it for too long, and it's hard for you to tell the reality, that's why there are Dr. Zhai and Architect Jiang, are they really stupid?
I don't know, maybe I'm immersed in the character...
……
At the end of February, Shen Ming packed his luggage and prepared to go around Canada, and then Chen Xu told him that "Time and Space Traveler" was about to be released, and asked him to help promote it...
This is a movie invested by Minghui.
It's Minghui's head shot this year!
The first shot of "Emergency Rescue" didn't go off...
For a big production with an investment of more than 600 million, if the profit rate does not reach 100%, it is a failure!
"Heroes of Fire", if it weren't for "Liuhai Fortress" and "Apostle Walker 2", it is estimated that the box office would be difficult to break 2 billion...
"Apostle Walker 2" is really a bit of aesthetic fatigue!
Especially Rakuzai: "Martial Arts Monster", "Home and Everything", "Anti-Corruption Storm 4", "Chasing the Dragon 2", "Apostle Walker 2"... In the first half of last year, six starring films were made in a row...
This also led to four films in the second half of the year not meeting expectations at the box office...
However, Bona is still a little dissatisfied with the revenue of "Heroes of Fire" - it is a movie that is rushing for a box office of 3 billion!
Not to mention "Emergency"...
A large group of people have been busy for more than two years, and the production and publicity are close to 700 million, and they have earned less than 300 million, which obviously does not satisfy investors...
Shen Ming also wanted to take this opportunity to apologize...
In fact, he did have to take the blame for "Emergency Rescue" - many viewers did rush to buy tickets for him...
"I'm sorry to everyone first, I really didn't pay much attention to the filming of "Emergency Rescue", to be precise, it took two months to complete the shooting..."
"And I don't have a complete script, which actually doesn't quite fit my rules for taking on the play..."
"I'm sorry for some of the viewers who rushed me to the movies, I'm sorry!"
Shen Ming looked at the camera and bowed deeply, and then the host of Fuji Xun's "Goose Ska" asked: "Actually, "Emergency Rescue" scored 7.1 points..."
"This theme is a natural plus, and the drama of the movie is a bit out of the whole and does not meet the audience's expectations... I'd better apologize, recently many people have watched me, and they have praised me for coming up with another 2 billion work, never mentioning the plot and performance, in fact, their subtext is 'the movie is very average'..."
“… I'm still quite guilty, if the movie had cut some literary scenes, it could definitely have been better..."
"A lot of viewers are controversial that you didn't nominate for an Oscar, can you talk about it?"
"How to say it, the judging criteria of the Oscars are American-style, not Chinese-style, I think everyone should not take the Oscars too seriously, it is an American award, not a global type!"
The host pouted secretly, you were nominated for the Oscar for "Bursting Drummer" back then, and the press release was not so promoted!
