Chapter 630: A Fool Who Keeps Running
In the previous life, in the 100-year history of the film industry, there have been several blockbusters that can be called god films, among them, "Forrest Gump" can definitely be among them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the previous life, this film directed by the famous director Robert Zemeckis was released in July 1994, and in 1995, the film almost swept the Oscars that year, winning a total of thirteen Oscar nominations, and won six awards including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor, becoming an indelible monument in the history of previous films.
And such a literary film actually won $678 million at the box office worldwide. You know, at that time, movie ticket prices in the United States were generally around five dollars, and if that film were to be released now, with the average ticket price of nearly $10 now, plus inflation, the film would probably be able to earn more than $1.5 billion at the total box office.
This is not a lie, in fact, in a previous life, there was an authoritative release of a list, which said that the ten films in history that won the Oscar for Best Picture, if they were all adjusted for inflation, then the box office of these ten movies would be incredible.
That list lists the 10 most famous films in Oscar history, and then lists how much these 10 films should have grossed now, based on the North American box office revenue at the time, adjusted for inflation.
"Forrest Gump," which ranks seventh all-time, earned $330 million at the North American box office that year, and after adjusting for inflation, that figure will nearly double to $650 million.
And the highest-grossing of all the best films in Oscar history in the previous life, Da Ship, only ranked third on this list. Released in 1997, Big Ship grossed a rare $658 million in North America, a figure that would have been $1.124 billion after adjusting for inflation.
But even with such results, it can only rank third in this list.
The two films in front of the big ship are "The Sound of Music," which was released in 1965 and grossed $158 million in North America, but that figure would have been $1.182 billion after adjusting for inflation.
And the classic in the first place is "Gone with the Wind", a legendary film released in 1939, which grossed $198 million in North America that year, and this figure will become a staggering $1.677 billion after adjusting for inflation!
It is precisely because of this list that the grandmaster thought about it for a long time before deciding to choose "Forrest Gump" as his film debut.
It's not that the grandmaster doesn't want to carry "Gone with the Wind", "The Sound of Music" and "Titanic", it's just that the current conditions are not ripe, like "Gone with the Wind", although the film is very classic, but this nearly 4-hour film is obviously not suitable for the rhythm of modern people.
As for "The Sound of Music", the grandmaster plans to carry this film after he has made a name for himself. The filming of the big ship is too difficult, and before the computer special effects in the current world have not been developed, the Grandmaster does not want to spend several years and more than 200 million dollars to create this film like Cameron in his previous life.
The film will not be filmed until the computer special effects are developed.
After thinking about it, the grandmaster decided to shoot "Forrest Gump" first.
This film had a good reputation in the previous life, and the box office exploded, if the grandmaster of such a film didn't choose, it would be really brain-dead.
According to the current situation of the global film market in this world, if this film is released in this world, it may achieve a result that shocks everyone's jaws!
You must know that the film market in this world itself is much larger than in the previous life, and in the previous life, "Forrest Gump" was never released in China, although the box office of the Chinese film market at that time was almost negligible.
And the ticket price of movie tickets in this life is generally maintained at an average price of about 10 Chinese yuan, coupled with a huge Dahua box office, if this film does not create an amazing box office, it is really sorry for such a large film market.
The most important thing is that this film is an extremely positive American theme film, if he makes such a film as a big Chinese, then it will undoubtedly be a resounding slap in the face to someone like Bill Sanchez who is hostile to director Dahua!
Let's see, who said that Dahua's director can't do it? No, you can make such a film? You American directors can't make such an American theme film full of positive energy, so what qualifications do you have to look down on Dahua's director?
The grandmaster is a person with this kind of character, and he can't rub the slightest sand in his eyes.
Since you look down on Dahua's director, then let's make a film that makes you all feel hopeless, so that you can take a good look, Dahua's director is actually very good!
Since it was decided to shoot this film, the Grandmaster did not hesitate to write the script of this film first.
In the previous life, the movie "Forrest Gump" was based on the novel of the same name written by Winston Groom, but in this world, without Winston Groom, there would naturally be no "Forrest Gump" novel.
In his previous life, Eric Ross, the screenwriter of "Forrest Gump", changed that novel beyond recognition, a satirical novel that satirized the current situation in the United States, but it was changed into an inspirational story with an American theme, no wonder this product won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay......
In this life, there is no novel of the same name, so the grandmaster naturally has no worries about writing it. In addition, the grandmaster of the previous life liked this film very much, and watched it no less than ten times, so this film has long been deeply imprinted in the memory of the grandmaster.
It is undoubtedly a very comfortable thing to write a script based on a ready-made film, so it only took the grandmaster three days to figure out the script of this movie.
The first person to see this script was naturally Fang Zhengying, but after reading it, Fang Zhengying asked a little strangely: "Husband, is your movie a story about a fool?
The script is different from the movie screen, and it is difficult for professionals to visualize the content in the script, so when ordinary people see the script, they must not be able to see the things contained in the script.
The Grandmaster smiled and said, "It's just a script, and when the movie is made, you'll find that there's a big gap between what's in the script and what's in the movie." That's right, a fool can play the main role, and in my mind, this movie is about the legendary life of a fool who keeps running......"
