"Is your book really going to be made into a movie? Some people on the Internet say that the foreigner who went to the celebration with you before was a producer at Universal Pictures?"

Everyone has a gossip heart.

Students at top universities pay attention to these entertainment news in addition to their heavy studies, not to mention that one of the main protagonists of the news is close by!

Faced with this classmate's question, Zhang Chu readily admitted: "It's him, it's just that he has this plan now, maybe we won't see the movie released when we graduate." ”

"Isn't it? We're only sophomores, and we're going to graduate in two full years, so that's going to be a slow shot!" said Amy, surprised.

Several other classmates also had the same expressions, not believing it at all.

"What movie takes so long?"

"I know it has to be crafted, isn't two years enough?"

"It's good to spend more time preparing for a good movie. ”

Zhang Chu patted An Mi on the shoulder and said: "You should be in the United States at that time, remember to call on your classmates to go to the cinema to support the box office, it will save too much." ”

He himself does not plan to continue his studies after graduating from university, and these friends have their own ideas, some want to go to the United States, some want to study at Yan University, and some want to go to other schools for exchanges.

Anmi is already preparing for the TOEFL exam, and it doesn't seem to be difficult at the moment.

"The Lord of the Rings" has only now negotiated the movie rights, and Chris did take a temporary script to work on before, but to be honest, there are many things in it that have not been set up well!

Now that Zhang Chu has written the entire content of the trilogy, Universal Pictures must make appropriate deletions according to it.

Not every director dares to take on this kind of big production, and if a film of this level does not perform well at the box office, it can be said that the director has to be responsible, and maybe he will completely miss the big production in the future.

The director doesn't have it, the script doesn't have it, the actors haven't been found, the shooting method is unknown, the preparatory team hasn't pulled it up yet, and waiting for the movie to take a year and a half to shoot, and then do special effects, publicity and release, two years is really not enough!

A film like "Farewell My Concubine" is actually very fast, don't look at it won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival, but from the establishment of the project to the release, it is actually less than a year.

First of all, there is no complicated post-production of literary films, the most important thing is editing, there is no need to do special effects, which saves a lot of time.

In addition, the director's execution ability is very strong, from the time of preparation, everything has been arranged in an orderly manner, and the actors selected are all powerful actors, although they also have NG, but it is out of consideration for their acting skills and wants to perform at a higher level.

Obviously, the movie "Youth Pi" announced the start of filming for a long time before it, but when "Farewell My Concubine" is about to appear on the big screen, this fantasy drifting movie directed by Li Yu has to wait for half a year!

Most of the plots in "Life of Pi" are Pie and Tiger Richard Parker drifting at sea, and it should be easier to shoot than the "Lord of the Rings" movie series, at least it won't involve so many big scenes.

Since it took two years from the establishment of the project to the final release of this "Life of Pi", it is almost impossible to see Frodo, Aragon and others on the big screen before graduating from college.

Although Anmi has some regrets, he actually wants to go to the cinema with his friends to watch this movie before graduation, which has a different kind of commemorative significance.

"Although I can't watch "The Lord of the Rings", you can still support these movies. ”

"Farewell My Concubine" is not long after, "Life of Pi" is also in this year's awards season, "The Da Vinci Code" is said to have been completed for almost a month, such a long post-production time, not surprising in November or even October!

It has been preparing for so long, and this year it has exploded intensively, leaving fans' wallets shriveled.

"That's right, now that "Farewell My Concubine" has been pre-sold, the movie theater next to the school is a bit expensive, a 2D movie actually costs 40 yuan, we all said that we would go to Zhongguancun to watch it, and it was only 28 over there. ”

"It's just that the film schedule is a bit small, and it seems that there are only 4 shows a day. ”

Zhang Chu spread his hands and said helplessly: "No way, after all, this is just a literary film, and there must not be as many scenes as commercial films." It's good to have 4 games a day, but there's still a week to go, so I guess I'll adjust it then. ”

Don't look at the awards of the Cannes Film Festival, but the theater managers are still not very optimistic about such a three-hour literary film, so there is almost no tilt in the pre-rehearsal.

Now that the college entrance examination is coming to an end, the most lively summer file of the year in the film market is about to kick off, and the competitors of "Farewell My Concubine" are extremely strong.

Cinemas pay attention to efficiency, which movie can bring more audiences, it will naturally increase the number of films, incomparably realistic!

Of course, there is also a situation where a strong distribution company follows the ticket supplement, usually the movies produced by large companies can be compared with Hollywood blockbusters directly on the first day, and there is no need to take the route of word-of-mouth counterattack in the later stage.

On June 12th, a number of blockbuster blockbusters were released, the most famous of which was "Megatron", an independent film spin-off of the "Transformers" franchise, which was highly anticipated by many people.

Who didn't have Transformers in their childhood?

It just so happens that the trend of anti-heroes is popular now, so Megatron, who used to be the villain in "Transformers", also has the opportunity to appear as the main character, and this movie mainly tells about their affairs on the planet Cybertron.

Fans and viewers are curious about this planet and how the Decepticon organization was born!

Although the reputation of each "Transformers" is not very good, the word-of-mouth of the critics in the early stage of this "Megatron" has turned around, and the 81% freshness and 88% audience popcorn index on Rotten Tomatoes are almost the best in the series.

In addition to "Megatron", there is also a Hollywood animation masterpiece "Crazy Wangxingren" released, this animation can be said to be suitable for all ages, with a strong reputation in Europe and the United States, and it only won the box office championship in the United States this week!

Now domestic audiences are very fond of Hollywood's excellent animation works, and it is not difficult for high-quality works to get a billion-level box office.

Not only will it face the attack of Hollywood movies, but "Farewell My Concubine" will also face competition from a domestic comedy.

Comedy has always been the easiest genre in domestic films to be small and broad, and dark horses are born every year.

This film called "Fake Drama Really Done" is created by the famous domestic comedy team Xingxing, this team has a very good audience, and almost every work will make the audience laugh.

The competition is so fierce, "Farewell My Concubine" has no advantage at all, whether in terms of subject matter or duration!
