There are many movies filmed in New York, but it is actually quite troublesome to shoot locations near Lincoln Center in Manhattan, not only do you need to apply to the city government for reporting, but also negotiate with the affected stores and institutions. The long shot in "Burst Drummer", which is only more than 20 seconds long, cost Bluebird Film Studio a lot www.biquge.info of money because of the relationship between laying the camera track, setting up equipment, cleaning the venue, and hiring group performers, which is almost the same as the production budget of Liang Baoguang's debut film "This Man is from Earth".

The big Hollywood film production companies often make big scenes, and they often sink half of Manhattan Island in the Battle of New York, but those are all CG shots shot in a green-screen studio, which is not the same thing as the realistic "Burst Drummer". Bluebird Film Studio also has a green screen studio, but Liang Baoguang gave up the idea of using CG instead of shooting in pursuit of a realistic film feeling, not because he deliberately did not use digital special effects technology, but because those things are not used in this "Burst Drummer".

Liang Baoguang made a lot of noise, so he reported it again, and people who followed him because of the rise of Twitter saw the news that he was playing a big scene on the streets of New York and making movies, and remembered that his main job was film director. Before that, everyone thought he was an IT upstart in Jiuchi Roulin, liked to watch his lace news, and liked to talk about the women around him, but forgot that he was a person in the entertainment industry.

"This Blue Bird Film Studio is really to my liking. A boy in the Columbia dormitory with black-rimmed glasses pushed his glasses and showed his roommate his freshly bought clothes, Leif Mashpiber, a first-year freshman in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, majoring in electrical engineering.

"So you went buy another piece of their dress?" Because the campus is in the center of New York City, where land is at a premium, and it is difficult to apply for a dormitory at Columbia University, so successful people cherish this fate, and Raiko Sarmet didn't want to see his roommate indulge in it, so he decided to reach out and pull him, "You can't throw money at them anymore, you should leave yourself more living expenses, maybe you can invite a girl to a cup of coffee one day." ”

Recently, the campus is full of people walking around wearing the official cultural shirts of Bluebird Film Studio, most of them are boys and some are girls, if they hadn't been dragged to the cinema to watch "This Man is from Earth" once, Leko Samet would have even thought that this was a new trendy brand and deliberately chose a misleading name. This kind of cultural shirt belongs to the movie peripheral products, it can't be said to be expensive but not very cheap, in the summer, just make a T-shirt can not sell much at a high price, and now in the fall, a hoodie can easily cost hundreds of dollars.

In American high schools where football players can find three girlfriends, male nerds like Leif Mashpiber are enough to even make a spare tire, because they are not popular at all, and no woman even wants to go to the prom with them. Leif Mashpiber was still very non-existent when he first entered the university, and only recently did he gain some attention, and the person who caused this change was Liang Baoguang, "I like their concepts, and I also like their works, is there anything wrong with buying more merchandise?"

Liang Baoguang always behaves like an alternative geek in front of people, using Twitter and other news media to successfully make Americans accept his image, obviously a business school student, obviously running a social network, but the upright old beauties still believe it. He brought a wave of popularity, and the newly released "The Big Bang Theory" showed the funny and cute side of the weirdos, so the spring for nerds has arrived.

The real nerds are very supportive of Liang Baoguang, so they buy and buy, while the fake nerds buy and buy in order to make themselves more like the real thing.

In addition to the collector's edition DVD, the peripherals of "This Man is from Earth" were originally only cups, and the project of cultural shirts was added by Liang Baoguang himself, and initially due to the lack of help from professionals, the clothing design was still made by him and Kim Tae-hee, a half-hanger. It turns out that his vision is really sharp, and now the money from selling clothes is almost equal to the income from selling DVDs, and he can easily accomplish things that are almost impossible in other movies, and he just sends selfies of himself wearing peripheral cultural shirts from time to time.

"I can understand that Star Wars fans buy some small toys, puzzles, posters, etc., but what's so nice about that small production that costs only 200,000 yuan, isn't it just a few professors chatting?"

Leif Mashpiber shook his finger that "This Man Is from Earth" is more than just a movie, "This movie has become a phenomenon where people find bugs in relatively rigorous dialogue, and then exchange ideas on Twitter to help each other and improve themselves as well as others." ”

"Does this have anything to do with you buying a bunch of stuff?" said Raiko Samet, confused even more.

"Isn't it reasonable to buy bugs and give away movies?" Leif Mashpiber asked rhetorically, "Isn't it okay to buy bugs and give away merchandise?"

Raiko Samet suddenly remembered that he had heard of such a thing elsewhere, that he had a good buddy in the same neighborhood, a normal guy who had become a chattering man, and would mumble things like "buy bugs and get games, bug creed, garbage" when he met people all day long. For a while, he couldn't think of a rebuttal, "You said so reasonably, I was speechless......"

With the advantage of Twitter's platform, "This Man from Earth" sold nearly 8 million home DVDs in two and a half months, and also sold a similar amount of other goods, even if you don't count the additional income such as fame, word-of-mouth, and recognition, these two combined brought more than $100 million in gross profit to Bluebird Film Studios. According to the general rules of the film market, that number is sure to double eventually, while "The Secret Meeting," which squeezed "This Man from Earth" off the picture, was a dismal box office, and after 14 weeks of Sony's classic film was in theaters, it grossed only $3.9 million in North America, not even as much as "This Man Is From Earth" sold in nine weeks.

The two producers of Sony's classic films rarely do loss-making business, but this time they were slapped in the face by Liang Baoguang, not only missing a good opportunity to make a big profit, but also offending their former allies for no reason. In the entertainment circle, everyone values face the most, and this failure is nothing of monetary loss for Sony's classic movies, and the impact on word-of-mouth will not be great, the key is that the face they lost will not come back. There are many people who have fallen into the well, and many of the influential producers in the circle have openly and secretly laughed at Mike Buck's bad eyes.

Fox's Tom Rothman was also nauseous enough lately, and he mocked Liang Baoguang's "This Man from Earth" at a drinking party with only 5 million at the box office, but it didn't take long for the company's peripherals to sell more than 200 million dollars, and easily accomplished the small goal: make it 100 million first. There weren't a lot of people at the reception that day, and everyone was a social elite and had no reason to go to the media to tell the truth, the matter was only circulating in a small area and didn't have much impact on Liang Baoguang, but the Weinstein brothers paid more attention to him.

Liang Baoguang's mind was not on the outside world, he was single-mindedly making his own movie, Freddie Heimer suddenly opened up after some training from him, and now the shooting is very smooth, but he can't be sure if this is a temporary state or a real breakthrough, so he commanded the entire crew to speed up the progress.

Most of the difficult scenes of "Burst Drummer" were completed in this situation, and there were only bits and pieces left, and under the guidance of Liang Baoguang, everyone in the crew loosened the strings in their minds, and he himself focused on driving to Freddie Heimer.

The director is not only responsible for the audience, but also for everyone in the crew, Freddie Heimer is a little crazy now, and his personality has become a little paranoid due to the influence of this movie, Liang Baoguang feels that he, as the biggest person on the set, should take care of every detail, so he made a cameo appearance as a psychiatrist to chat with Freddie Hemmer when he was free.

Christopher Nolan is very popular with some young people, but he is actually a very unsuccessful director, not because he has never been favored by mainstream awards, but because Heath Ledger is dead. The characters in the movie are not created by the actors themselves or by the screenwriters, they are all created by the director, Heath Ledger died because of the role of the Joker, and Christopher Nolan, as the director, is mostly responsible.

After the success of "Batman", the director enjoyed the flowers and applause, never thinking that the actor would be trapped in the role and unable to get out, or that he knew it, but just didn't care. Early on, filmmakers pointed out that Heath Ledger had gone crazy playing the Joker, and there were signs that he was on the verge of danger, and Christopher Nolan was engaged in viral marketing all day long, especially in the unexpected world, but he did nothing in the end.

Andrew's role theory is far worse than that of the clown, and Freddie Hemmer is not the same character as Heath Ledger, but Liang Baoguang still spent time looking at him to "talk therapy", and used all the professional knowledge he learned in school to Freddie Hemmer, and he at least returned the Hemer cherub to those rotten girl fans.
