Chapter 280: The Red Carpet of Three Women

"If you don't think your head is useful, I don't mind if we change it, your crew and your shooting ideas will definitely make us a lot of money!" Chen Tian said with an oath.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Nolan had discussed the script and shooting ideas with Chen Tian before, but Chen Tian had never said this sentence with such certainty as now.

He subconsciously thought that Chen Tian was trying to make him relax and not to be pressured to say words of encouragement, but Chen Tian's expression didn't look like a joke at all.

"Don't stare at me like that, really!" Chen Tian turned his head and looked at Nolan again, the plane seemed very quiet, Chen Tian didn't want to affect others because of himself, "Of course, I have enough confidence in you, if it can't sell for 200 million in North America......"

"200 million?" Nolan gasped.

Although the cost of this film needs to be 120 million to 150 million, he still didn't think so much about selling 200 million in North America.

For Batman, his expectation is that he will not lose money, that is, victory.

After all, the popularity of the Batman brand has been damaged very much over the years, and now what he has to do is to regain the brand and popularity.

Compared with the box office, word-of-mouth is what he values most, and not losing money on the basis of word-of-mouth is the goal of him and others in the previous special meeting.

At that time, Chen Tian also participated in the formulation of this goal, and now Chen Tian actually said that he was somewhat surprised that North America would get 200 million box office.

"Don't you think it's impossible? There will be!

Although our plan was not to lose money, now I think you should be able to rely on the box office to get to the point where you don't lose money. ”

According to the box office table of Batman in North America of 200 million US dollars and close to 400 million US dollars in the world, Batman, which costs 150 million, cannot recover all its costs by relying on the box office alone.

However, relying on the income of peripherals and DVDs and Blu-ray discs, Batman is still profitable. Today, it is still filmed by Nolan. But the script is clearly an improvement over the later Batman.

And Chen Tian has more confidence in the promotion of the film. If a film is well promoted, it will help the box office a lot.

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me, I don't think about it that much!" Nolan shrugged, "Now I wonder what your thoughts are?" ”

"Do you think good publicity will help the film a lot?"

Christopher. Nolan spread his hands: "Of course, this is for sure, if a film wants to achieve a good box office, then it must be inseparable from publicity."

It's not impossible to rely on word-of-mouth to drive the box office of the film, but that kind of growth rate is destined to be less than the well-publicized film.

Do you have a good publicity plan? ”

"yes, I think it's pretty good. I don't know what you think, though.

Variety shows are a viewing group that cannot be ignored in North America, and many films focus their publicity on the advertising time of variety shows, or even variety shows.

But they all just rely on variety shows, and I plan to use Batman to create a reality show variety show, and I still rely on stars.

Celebrities are invited to participate in reality TV shows, but the theme will be related to Batman for a while.

However, this variety show will not be related to Batman before, but will wait until two to three months before its release next year to add related themes.

Of course, this requires us to build the brand effect of this variety show before this.

If I don't get great ratings, then my plan will just die silently. ”

"Variety shows? And it's a reality show in which celebrities participate? Nolan frowned, there was no shortage of reality TV shows in North America.

However, at present, he has the impression that celebrities are involved, and the popular show seems to be still on various talk shows, or as a judge to participate in some reality shows in selection competitions. In addition, I have never seen a variety show directly invite stars to participate.

"Justin, there doesn't seem to be a show like this at the moment? Are you sure you can handle it? And the reality show in which the star participates.

Want to get those big stars in the spotlight to participate in a reality show. It's not easy!

Do you want to emulate the model of the National Supermodel Rookie Contest? And it's not a good idea to grab the ratings with them. Nolan said what he thought, and he felt that Chen Tian might have taken it for granted.

What Nolan said, Chen Tian didn't know.

In fact, in later generations, celebrities participating in reality shows in North America almost only stayed at various talent shows as judges and talk shows.

Far from being like Japan and South Korea, where the entertainment industry is well developed in Asia, where it is the norm for celebrities to participate in reality shows.

Participating in various reality shows has also become an important way for people in the entertainment industry in Japan and South Korea to maintain their attention and increase their popularity, and they will be extremely active in the show.

In the entertainment industry in other countries, such a situation is rare.

This has a lot to do with the status of stars in society and the competitive pressure of the entire entertainment industry.

In Japan and South Korea, the metabolism of celebrities is too fast, and there are many newcomers who make their debut every day.

If you don't work hard, you may change from popular to unpopular at any time, and the military service system has exacerbated the possibility that a popular star may not be famous at any time, and it is for these reasons that the development of celebrities in Japan and South Korea to participate in reality shows has been developed.

In the United States, although there are also many stars in the entertainment industry, their status is relatively much higher, and they are more willing to rely on films to increase their popularity.

However, Chen Tian thought about the possibility of celebrities participating in reality shows in the United States in later generations, and even had the honor to be with James. Cameron has shared his thoughts.

And James. Cameron was very interested in Chen Tian's idea at that time, but he was interested in combining celebrity reality shows with films, so that the audience could pay attention to the film through the halo effect of the stars themselves and the interactive entertainment of the show.

If it weren't for the reality show of Korean pop stars introduced on the plane, Chen Tian would not have come up with such an idea.

However, Chen Tian also knows where the difficulty is, if it is James. Cameron, especially the posterity of James. Cameron.

He stood up and shouted. It is destined that many celebrities will respond positively. And he, Chen Tian, seems to have stood still in Hollywood. It also has a high reputation.

But and James. Compared with Cameron's popularity and influence in the world, the current Chen Tian is completely incomparable, and he is not even qualified to compare.

Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly very challenging for Chen Tian to invite celebrities to participate in reality shows.

Not to mention that in the United States, well-known public figures are usually full, and it is not easy to get them to free up the schedule.

But Chen Tian seriously thought about it, if the stars are willing to participate in the recording of the show, then Chen Tian is confident that the audience will sit in front of the TV to watch the stars' programs.

After all, celebrities still have an unparalleled attraction for ordinary people, not to mention that if such a show can be launched in the United States, it is almost a pioneer in the United States, which is undoubtedly a great novelty for the audience.

"I know where the difficulty is. So at the moment I'm just an idea that you can look at these numbers jù.

Of course, this is different in different countries, but I think for ordinary people, public figures will always have a halo effect.

Honestly, I wanted to give it a try, even though it doesn't seem to have much to do with movies. Chen Tian took the magazine to Nolan on the side.

"It's still in English!" Nolan smiled and took the magazine.

This magazine is to promote Japanese and Korean variety shows abroad, and the purpose is to let people from other countries and regions see the influence of these programs in Japan and South Korea.

If someone wants to follow suit, there is a fee to pay.

Nolan grew his mouth and his eyes were fixed on some counts.

He never imagined that these shows would have such an impact, as Chen Tian said, stars will always be attractive to ordinary people, which he agrees with.

Seeing his success in South Korea at the moment, he also imagined the possibility of success in the United States.

If you can get celebrities to participate. If the production of the program is good enough, then he believes that it will attract many viewers to sit in front of the TV. Now the only question is whether or not the celebrities can participate.

It's not easy to get those stars to spend a lot of time filming a reality show, and it's not easy to show their true side.

"Let's talk about this matter when we get to the United States, and now I'm just a preliminary idea.

If we can get it, we need to find a TV station to work with.

I'm going to NBC next month to shoot "Prison Break," and maybe they'll be a little interested.

Of course, I'll have to get some of the stars myself, otherwise I don't think they will agree. Chen Tian shrugged, he believed that other TV stations should have had similar thoughts, but in the end, the lack of a program showed how difficult it was.

Chen Tian is counting on relying on his connections to find some people to participate in the previous episodes, and then use the popularity of the guò show to attract others to participate.

So it was very important at the beginning, and Chen Tianxia consciously set his goal on the person with whom he had a good relationship.

Natalie, who is far away in the United States at the moment. Portman, Steve. Carell and the others couldn't help but sneeze, obviously they didn't expect Chen Tian to pay attention to them.

Ten minutes later, Nolan put down the magazine: "I think if I can solve the problem of celebrities participating, then I can definitely try."

I don't think there's any reason for a TV station to turn down such an attractive show, except for Fox. ”

"Of course, Fox wouldn't want to give it to me, and they have so many good shows."

A large part of American reality shows are founded by Fox, and Fox produces the majority of the programs with high ratings.

They will definitely not give up an old show that has always had good ratings for a new show, not to mention the grudge between Fox and Chen Tian, although this grudge is more between 20th Century Fox and Chen Tian.

This time, Chen Tian's promise to participate in the Youth Choice Award has made Fox a little depressed, after all, Chen Tian snatched the film and television adaptation rights of "The Queen Wears Prada" from Fox.

Seeing that "The Queen Wears Prada" is hot at the box office, and the film produced by Fox is not very good at the box office this year, how can Fox not be depressed.

They are now looking forward to Chen Tian not winning the award, and they don't want Chen Tian to use Fox's platform to increase his popularity.

"I had some simple ideas that I thought I could invite people from previous issues.

Now you agree with me, don't you? I'm going to find time to finish the idea when I get back. ”

"Why not? As long as you can invite people. I think it should be possible to do it. ”

In this way, Chen Tian made up his mind to return to the United States to create a celebrity reality show. He wants to build a successful brand like American Idol and America's Top Model.

And this brand can not only be used to generate zào revenue. It can also be used for future film promotion.

When Chen Tian flew to the United States, Dan in the United States. Fairman helped Chen Tian do a big favor.

Half a month ago, Chen Tian found him by phone across the ocean, wanting him to help contact Linkin Park, and then invited Linkin Park to create the soundtrack for "The Raid".

The later "Raid" can impress many people without the right soundtrack, and the soundtrack in it is just right.

When people are subjected to a strong visual impact, the auditory system is also subjected to a powerful impact, and the audience's perception is doubled under the combination of the two.

So when Chen Tian thought of the soundtrack, he still had time to put his thoughts on Linkin Park for the first time, although the invitation to Linkin Park at this time was five years earlier than the later "Raid". But now Linkin Park is officially at its most popular.

The name of Linkin Park alone is enough to form an effective promotion for the film, and Chen Tian believes that many fans of Linkin Park will enter the theater.

And Linkin Park is a signed group under Warner Records, so Chen Tian directly found Dan. Feyerman.

In the face of Chen Tian's request, Dan. Fehrman did not refuse.

After half a month of adjustments, the Linkin Park group found a half-month schedule, and they will spend half a month soundtrack for "The Raid".

This also made a request for Chen Tian, who needed to complete the post-production and editing of "The Raid" as much as possible, and only then could he hand it over to Linkin Park to score the music.

After all, the other party's schedule is also very precious, and it is impossible to stop and wait for Chen Tian all the time.

"Justin is back, "The Raid" is coming!"

Roger updated the headlines on Chen Tian's official website for the first time. Today, the number of members of Chen Tian's official website has grown from about 10,000 to nearly 100,000.

Although the number of 100,000 members cannot be compared with the number of viewers of a film, it is already a considerable number.

These 100,000 members. Almost a big fan of Chen Tian's films.

When "The Raid" and Chen Tian were questioned, it was these loyal fans of Chen Tian who fought on the front line to maintain Chen Tian's reputation.

And Chen Tian's press conference held in Huaxia said that the technology and film that innovated the film industry are absolutely wonderful, which has long made countless people look forward to the release of "Raid".

Of course, not every one of these people is looking forward to the excellence of the "Raid" film, and some are looking forward to Chen Tian's big words making Chen Tian a laughing stock.

When Chen Tian's plane arrived at the Los Angeles airport after a long flight, Chen Tian and his entire team refused to be interviewed by everyone and left directly.

Time flies, and the post-production of "The Raid" is in full swing.

In order to complete the post-production and editing of "The Raid", the whole team worked overtime.

In addition to the attention of some media to "The Raid", neither the "Raid" team from Miramax to Chen Tian has expressed any opinion on "The Raid".

"The Raid" is like it was never born, and there is no latest news about the film, as if "The Raid" was never born at all.

At the same time as the post-production zuò, Chen Tian came up with the idea of a variety show.

He plans to make a version based on a popular Korean variety show in the future, although there are cultural differences between the two cultures, Chen Tian feels that the entertainment and highlights of the show are common.

This show is the later Korean "Runningman", and each episode of this show is performed by 7 regular members and different guests.

Each episode has a different theme, and all participants will be divided into different teams to compete, and the winner will receive a title or prize.

There is a wide variety of games in the show, and these games will be participated by the guests.

The types of games also involve various categories, among which the brand-tearing link presented in the show has received countless praises, and has also made countless variety shows compete to imitate.

The birth of this program is an exquisite work of SBS Television, one of the three major television stations in South Korea, and in fact, this program was ahead of its time as a success.

It has always been extremely popular in Korea, and its ratings have almost stabilized at more than 15%. It is also very popular in other countries.

The interactivity and entertainment of the stars in the show are what Chen Tian values the most. Chen Tian believes that as long as the program is good, it will definitely attract American audiences to sit in front of the television.

And the guest Chen Tian is ready. Unlike the Korean version of the seven-person fixed host team of six men and one woman, Chen Tian plans to reduce the number of hosts and replace them with a fixed host lineup of four men and one woman.

Then one or more female guests are invited to participate in the filming in each issue, and the fixed female guest candidate Chen Tian is ready to play in Natalie. Portman and Jessica. Choose one among Alba.

The reason why he didn't choose Scarlett was that Chen Tian himself planned to participate in the whole process of the show, and then be the core character of the show.

If Scarlett participates in the whole process, it will affect the topicality of the show.

And if Chen Tian himself does not participate, but leaves it all to Scarlett to participate. Chen Tian was still unwilling to accept the long-term intimacy of Scarlett's other guests.

Although all of them are for entertainment, Chen Tian is still a little reluctant in his bones.

Natalie. Portman and Jessica. Alba has high popularity throughout North America and even the world, and both of them are very outgoing and active, which is undoubtedly very suitable for participating in variety shows.

What's more, Chen Tian has a good relationship with the two of them.

Comparatively speaking, the probability of being invited is higher.

However, Chen Tian has not yet consulted with them, and before that, he will communicate with Scarlett. Portman and Jessica. Alba: He'll wait until the Teen Choice Awards to communicate.

In a blink of an eye, the end of July, and the editing of "Raid" came to an end after nearly half a month of hard work.

The media's interest in "The Raid" has also faded with the lack of new news, and they prefer to focus on it.

Only enthusiastic Chen Tian fans are still waiting eagerly. And the negotiations between Miramax and DreamWorks have also entered the practical stage.

Pixar Studios, interested in DreamWorks Animation's division, made an offer of $300 million and a 5% stake in Pixar Studios.

The 5% stake in Pixar Studios adds up to less than $400 million, plus $300 million in cash. Pixar's offer is almost $700 million.

Once the two are combined, it will have a hurricane-like impact on the entire Hollywood animated film, and this news has also been the focus of the media in the past half a month.

Compared with Pixar, Miramax made a direct offer of 600 million in cash.

While Pixar's offer may seem a lot lower, the $600 million in cash has DreamWorks on its toes.

The talks, which were originally scheduled to be completed in six months, made tangible progress at the end of July.

DreamWorks wanted Miramax to increase its offer, and Miramax wanted to reduce the cost of the acquisition as much as possible.

"Justin, those three old men at DreamWorks are so greedy!" David. Ellison bit the apple and looked at the screen in front of Chen Tian.

He knew that Chen Tian was editing the film at the moment, and the small grids on the screen made David. Ellison was dazzled.

"Anyway, this matter is led by you, and no matter how troublesome it is, it has nothing to do with me!" Chen Tian said with a smile that the editing of "Raid" was close to completion.

At the moment, nearly 99% of the editing work has been completed, and in order not to delay the schedule of Linkin Park.

Chen Tian first sent 50% of the edited "Raid" over, so as to avoid the soundtrack work after all the editing was completed, so as to increase the work cycle of directing the film.

"Justin, I found out I was fooled.

I've thrown all my time to those old men at DreamWorks now, my beauty and my life are all gone, shouldn't you make it up to me?

How about the next movie with me in a supporting role? I'm not greedy, I just need a supporting role, ten minutes! "David. Ellison said with a smile.

Chen Tian did not reply immediately, but focused his attention entirely on the screen, moving the mouse with his right hand.

David. Ellison didn't bother Chen Tian, although he didn't particularly understand, but he also knew that the whole editing work was to the end.

"The last one!" Chen Tiannian sighed, and moved the mouse aperture with his right hand to put a small grid at the end.

"That's it!" Chen Tian put down the mouse and clenched his fist, and the other five editors in the entire studio cheered.

The editing of "The Raid" this time was for them, although they were not the main editors. But they felt the difficulty of editing "The Raid".

Now I see that the editing of "The Raid" is all complete. They naturally smiled.

"Oh. I couldn't wait to see it, but I decided to put up with it because I wanted to wait until the film was released or I would lose the fun of cheering for it together! "David. Ellison said sternly.

As moviegoers, Chen Tian and David. Ellison had the same idea, he would rather sit in the theater with other people and watch the movie, which was much, much better than sitting in front of the screen alone.

It's a pity that Chen Tian took charge of the entire editing work this time. is destined to not be able to enjoy that kind of movie-watching pleasure like ordinary audiences.

With the editing work complete, it was time for the soundtrack and film dubbing to be finalized.

Once the soundtrack and voice acting are all complete, the editing of the Raid trailer will begin.

Chen Tian hopes to get it done before the Teen Choice Awards ceremony, and then officially put the "Raid" trailer on YouTube on that day.

Nowadays, YouTube has become a website that people often log in to in their lives, and the influence of the website is rapidly rising.

In North America alone, YouTube has more than 50 million registered users.

Canada and the United States have a combined population of less than 350 million, which means that almost one in seven people has a registered YouTube user.

YouTube North America has up to 50,000 original videos uploaded every day.

These figures are the envy of countless people, and it is precisely because of the popularity of YouTube that the market value of YouTube today cannot be compared with Facebook. But it has also been estimated by Forbes at $2.4 billion.

Once YouTube goes public, its market value will climb dramatically. Along with Facebook, which is estimated to reach $5 billion, YouTube is considered to be the world's new discovery of Internet technology in 2004.

Time flies, and it's August 8th, when all the work on The Raid is done.

All the publicity work will be carried out, and the schedule for "The Raid" is also set for the last week of the summer vacation schedule.

"Do I look good in this dress?" Scarlett wore a pink wrap-around tight skirt and stood in front of Chen Tian.

The Teen Choice Awards ceremony is chosen by teenagers, so the stars who participate in the awards ceremony will also dress up as young as possible.

Female stars choose girly clothes as much as possible, and the clothes on Scarlett's body at this moment show the girlish atmosphere.

Under the backdrop of the long skirt, Scarlett's sexy figure is also completely highlighted.

Seeing Chen Tian looking at herself seriously, Scarlett was very happy.

She and Chen Tian haven't seen each other for a long time, even if the two are in constant contact, but she is still worried that Chen Tian will lose his relationship with her because he has not seen each other for a long time.

After all, there is never a shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, and although she is confident in her appearance, she is not so confident in her legs and height.

She worked hard and tried to shape her legs into Annie. Hathaway-like curves.

But the legs can change, but the height can't be changed.

"Mannie, you're beautiful, you're going to catch everyone's eye tonight." Chen Tian directly hugged Scarlett's waist.

Scarlett smiled happily and leaned her head directly on Chen Tian's chest.

Chen Tian lowered his head, but Scarlett directly pushed Chen Tian away.

"I'm going to put on makeup, it's not too early!" Scarlett wrinkled her nose and looked cute, then turned and sat down.

Scarlett's small movements made Chen Tian couldn't help but smile: "Then I'll go get dressed!" ”

As night falls in Los Angeles, the Kodak Theater on the Walk of Fame attracts the attention of countless people.

Tonight at 6 o'clock, the 6th Teen Choice Awards will be held here.

Countless spectators and media have arrived, and there will be a red carpet from 4 p.m. onwards.

The red carpet ceremony of any awards ceremony can attract people's attention, and the competition of female stars is always in the spotlight.

Anne in a white princess dress. If Hathaway is seen, people will definitely think of the Anne in "The Princess Diaries". Hathaway, at the moment, she is like a real princess.

She came to Los Angeles last night and will walk the red carpet with Chen Tian, while Scarlett will walk with Natalie. Portman walked the red carpet together.

Look at yourself in the mirror, Anne. Hathaway smiled at the corner of her mouth.

At the moment, she is waiting for Chen Tian's arrival in the hotel, and then she will attend the red carpet with Chen Tian.

"Today I think someone might encourage you and Anne to have a live KISS!" Scarlett said a little depressed.

Although she was happy to see Chen Tian's popularity in North America increase, she thought that Chen Tian might be instigated with Annie. Hathaway KISS live, she was more or less depressed in her heart.

"Are you jealous?" Chen Tian hugged Scarlett, "Even if you are instigated, you have to win the award, it's not easy!" Kayla. Knightley and Orlando. Bloom is the most likely. ”

"You're still willing, aren't you?" Scarlett pinched Chen Tian's waist fiercely, and then pushed Chen Tian away, "Will my skirt be wrinkled, you can help me see, I don't want to be ridiculed for not being able to wear clothes!" ”

Chen Tian helped Scarlett sort it out: "Perfect, you must be the most beautiful person tonight!" ”

Even though she knew that Chen Tian was talking about making her happy, Scarlett was still happy.

At this moment, there are two cars parked at the door of Chen Tian's villa, and these two cars will pick up Scarlett and Chen Tian respectively to go to Natalie. Portman and Anne Hathaway converge before heading to the red carpet at the entrance of the Kodak Theater on the Walk of Fame.

On the red carpet of the Teens' Choice Film Awards, the lights flickered non-stop.

There are obviously more celebrities at this year's awards ceremony than in the previous five years. Hathaway's car arrived on the red carpet.

And Scarlett and Natalie. Portman's car also arrived at the entrance of the red carpet, and when Chen Tian was the first to get out of the car and Scarlett got out of another car, the reporters in the media area immediately pointed their cameras at the entrance.

"Anne. Hathaway is like a princess, and Scarlett is beautiful, oh, Scarlett actually came with Portman, look at Portman's dress.

This moment is the happiest time for our eyes today! TMZ reporter Sean shouted as he pressed the shutter.

Natalie. Portman, Annie. Hathaway and Scarlett, the three popular actresses, appeared on an occasion at the same time, how could they not make people excited. (To be continued......)
