Chapter 465 Celebration Party

David won the adaptation rights of "Transformers" from DreamWorks for 30 million, which is considered a rich and capricious move at the textbook level.

If it sounds good, it is rich and capricious, and if it doesn't sound good, it is stupid B, the adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings" do not have this number, why is this toy cartoon worth this price, this is David Geffen The old fox fooled David Ellison, the second ancestor.

When it was rumored that MM spent $150 million to create a live-action version of Transformers, produced by David and directed by Sell Copies, starring the popular student Mason and the traffic flower Meghan, it was immediately rated by the media as one of the most anticipated bad movies of the year.

Jin Sumei also said: "I have reserved a place for you!"

This will also be one of the three consecutive defeats in David's career, and the blockbuster-loving producer will lose even worse if he plays big once he plays.

And the same is true for selling copies, leaving Jerry Bruckheimer, it was a defeat worse than the last, and in "Escape from Clone Island", he was one of the top ten tragedies in history, competing with "Cleopatra", "Water World", "Wind Whisperer" and so on.

"Transformers" started filming in a loud voice, but with the full support of MM's top management, Michael Bay's team began a huge production journey with $150 million, and this time they also borrowed from Mark's approach in "Time to Go to War", and some of the grand scenes were shot on IMXA film.

Michael Bay has had a very pleasant cooperative relationship with the Department of Defense in many films, David has deep connections in the government and the upper echelons of the military with the advantages of his family, so when filming "Transformers", they once again relied on the power of the army, and things went very smoothly, and when they once again invited the Ministry of Defense to support the filming of the film, the other party not only accepted, but also came up with their own plan. The film features real-life Holloman, Cortland and Edwards Air Force Bases, as well as the Pentagon. During the filming, the film borrowed high-end weapons that are rarely seen, from CV-22 tiltrotors, F-117 "Nighthawk" stealth aircraft, C-130 "Hercules" transport aircraft, and C-17 "Globemaster" transport aircraft.

During the weeks he spent filming at Holloman Air Force Base, Colonel Daniel Frese was actively involved in the production of the film, and as an important Air Force instructor on set, he maintained good communication with both Michael Bay and assistant director Simon Vanoch, effectively helping him command his Air Force pilots to participate as much as possible. When Frese arrived on set, he not only perfectly orchestrated a fighter bombing scene, but also helped refine the filming of several aerial flight scenes, working closely with air coordinator Alan Perwin and cinematographer David Nowell.

"Transformers" was also the first film allowed to be filmed at the Pentagon since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and everyone from the cast to the crew felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavy, and the filming work was carried out in accordance with the Pentagon's instructions.

The film's main live-action shooting began on May 22, 2006, with the hiring of a large number of military vehicles. Filming took place from Hoover Dam to the Pentagon, from Los Angeles, a big city in California, to the small town of Ruoertu, California, and at multiple air bases, capturing countless tragic and grand scenes, which ended on October 5, 2006.

To enhance realism, Michael Bay's team ditched the boxy, blocky shape of the robot and replaced it with a robot shape with a large number of detailed parts.

During a transformation, thousands of components of the robot will move at the same time, thus avoiding the phenomenon that the volume and mass of the Transformers in the Transformers cartoon can be arbitrarily smaller and larger, which is difficult to explain with everyday physics. The unique Transformers look like one that highlights their alien origin.

Michael Bay completed the first version of the cut during Christmas 2006, and the special effects shots were largely done by the digital realm and ILM. Dubbing and other post-production work is currently underway.

To promote the film, Hasbro has agreements with more than 200 companies in more than 70 countries.

In order to get close interaction with the Transformers fan community, MM held a "Optimus Prime Lines Competition", asking fans to write lines for Optimus Prime in the movie, and the lines written by the final winner will appear in the film, and the final line "Freedom and rights to all beings" wins, which is actually the original motto on Optimus Prime toys.

Since March 2007, Marvel Comics has published a four-volume comic prequel to the Transformers live-action movie, which mainly reflects the journey of Bumblebee from Cybertron to modern Earth, Megatron's journey to Earth to find the source of the fire, and the origin of the Seventh Defense Sector In addition to the live-action film version, there are also a series of live-action movie stories for young children, which will be published one after another before the release of the live-action film, creating a rich prequel background for the live-action film story.

The MM Game Division is producing a game that will be available on major game platforms such as PSP, PS2, PS3, X-Box 360, and ii. Players can play as either the game or the maniac and experience different kinds of fun.

"Optimus Prime" consists of 10,108 pieces, and the subtitle of the film is "Their War, Our World" - this originally belonged to "Alien vs. Predator", but was later changed to "No matter who wins" when the film was released...... We all lost", which happened to be used by "Transformers".

It took 38 hours of ILM's animators to color a CGI image in the film, breaking the record set by Studio Weta. In The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, animators spent 20 hours depicting a CGI scene in which Treebeard participated.

In order to promote this movie, MM carried out a full-platform, all-round promotion, and its overwhelming and ubiquitous advertising campaign was not under "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", which was one of the three major blockbusters of MM in 2007 to compete for the summer file.

Thanks to Mark's vigorous promotion of IMXA technology and theaters, the IMXA version of "Transformers" also broke the premiere record of its kind, with a first-week record of $7 million far behind the original champion "Spider-Man 3" of 5 million, and of course related to the opening of ten IMXA theaters in MM Theaters.

IMXA's giant screen perfectly displays the grand and tragic scene of "Transformers", providing a perfect audio-visual enjoyment, after the coordination of Columbia's Samsung company, all the commercial screens in the whole meter are used to play this super blockbuster, but it is still in short supply, all the tickets sold that day are sold out in half an hour, and all the theater bases are playing day and night, setting a record of more than 60,000 US dollars for a single museum.

It is not yet known how much "Transformers" will drop next week, but this IMXA box office will not fall much, let alone break Mark's record of 25 million IMXA screenings.

David turned over the serf this time to sing, this week's amazing record of breaking 100 million yuan, is more than his past North North Rice results combined, high-spirited he held a large celebration party at the MM headquarters, in the name of MM vice president, he asked all important people to be present.

Mark was unable to participate in filming in Chicago because of "scheduling conflicts", and was robbed by a group of people he sent.

Without Mark's participation, is this still like a saying? Mark is the biggest promoter of this project, without Mark's mastermind, he would not have taken a fancy to the adaptation rights of "Transformers", let alone win it at any cost, and he would not have had the courage to spend 150 million dollars to build it.

Of course, his super daddy Larry was going to be called anyway to show him the majesty of his David today.

So when the party hasn't started yet, David and his girlfriend, the new global sexy goddess Megan Fox, directors Michael Bay, Meghan and others greet guests at the door.

When Mark and his wife's sports car appeared at the door, he immediately threw his girlfriend and ran over with happy feet, robbed the parking boy of his job, and owed Mark to open the car door.

Mark quipped, "Oh my God, what about your CEO? It lowers the media's perception of our MM management." ”

David's face was full of excitement, and he said: "Only you can stand it, and the president is not qualified to do so." ”

Mark hugged David, patted him on the back vigorously, and said, "You sang a good show!" He shook hands with Michael Bay, Mason, Megan Fox and others one by one, and praised them separately, and he said to his colleague Michael Bay: "How do you feel now?"

To his old friend Mason, he asked, "Well done!"

Mason and David Lee joined the Kebang at the same time, and participated in Mark's first three works at the same time, but Mason just couldn't become popular, and because of Blake's serious conflict with Mark, he was refrigerated for a while, and now he finally became popular worldwide with "Transformers".

Because Blake broke up with Mark, the relationship between Mason and Mark improved, and now he has tasted the scenery of global popularity and attention, but he is low-key and disgusted, saying: "It's all up to the guidance of director Michael Bay!"

David smiled and said to Giselle, "Mark is mine tonight." With Mark in his left hand and Michael Bay in his right, he walked in in high spirits.

This scene was seen by Larry, who came later, and he snorted coldly and said, "When did I become invisible?"

Megan took his arm and said, "I'm not here? David is high tonight, don't plan with him." ”

For the achievements of "Transformers" led by David, he is also pleased, and now the wind of "Transformers" is blowing across the country, this main theme blockbuster that is in line with the national political symbol, is also a voice of praise at the top, Larry also has a light on his face, he can't hide his smile, and said: "This kid, if you make a little achievement, your tail will be in the sky." ”

Megan said: "The big sale of "Transformers" is due to David, this is his party, he can enjoy it to his heart's content." ”
