749 laughed angrily
Not Burbank, not Las Vegas, not Vancouver, or even the North American continent, "Mad Max 4" will travel to the African continent to shoot, which ...... This is simply a fantasy, all the reporters were killed by surprise, the stunned on their faces could hardly be concealed, and they were stunned and dazed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, how could the reporters not understand that they were collectively placed by Reims.
Obviously, Lance never intended to compromise, and Vancouver was not an option at all. On the surface, Lance was running around in New York and Los Angeles trying to find a solution, but behind the scenes, Chaos Pictures already had strong ties to Africa, and in full view, not only finalized the filming permit in Namibia, reached an agreement with Cape Town, South Africa, but also reached a cooperation with American Airlines, and chartered three planes to transport the entire crew to the African continent - the equipment and shooting conditions in Africa were naturally incomparable to those in the studio.
All of this was done under the watchful eye of reporters and Hollywood, so many pairs of eyes, but no one found out what Lance really meant.
In the past time, they have been gloating and waiting to see the joke, but in fact they are the joke, not only did they take the initiative to help Lance hype for free, Chaos Pictures did not spend a penny, and "Mad Max 4" achieved incredible exposure in major media; And he is also full of confidence that Chaos Pictures has been forced into a corner, and he can't wait to come over and reap the victory today, but he was slapped in the face, his face was red, and he was at a loss.
People think it's Lance who is arrogant, but now it seems that they should be the ones who are arrogant and have no one in their sights.
After realizing this, the reporters on the scene all looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't know what to react to. But immediately, they realized that they were not alone, and more than 300 colleagues had all stepped into this trap, which was really ...... It's really too genius, and all the clues show that Lance has been planning this big drama from the very beginning, and it is estimated that even Chaos Pictures has been kept in the dark.
After the anger reached the extreme, a ridiculous feeling arose, and then involuntarily laughed. When the first reporter laughed, it was as if it would be contagious, and everyone laughed helplessly. Immediately afterwards, the reporters realized: there is someone else who is really in trouble.
For the news media, the interests between them and Chaos Pictures and Lance are all indirect, even if they can't detect Lance's plan and lose face and lose face, but all their peers are in the same boat, and if they turn a blind eye to each other, this matter will be revealed, and there will be no substantial harm. But, what about Hollywood's big six studios?
No one will forget that Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and Disney confidently teamed up to blockade, from Burbank to Philadelphia to Atlanta, nearly forcing Chaos Pictures into a corner, all believing that under their oppression, no one could escape; No one will forget Lance's frequent actions after returning to Los Angeles, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal have also walked around, even the Weinstein brothers and DreamWorks have visited, but no one is willing to extend a hand of friendship to Lance, it seems that the whole industry is determined that they will join forces to teach Lance a lesson.
But now, the lockdown of the big six studios looks like a joke.
It's not that they didn't suppress Chaos Pictures, Chaos Pictures really didn't have a way to find a suitable studio on the North American continent; Rather, Chaos Pictures did not plan to shoot in the United States from the beginning, and judging from the filming location selected by Lance, "Mad Max 4" had already determined the idea of shooting on location at the conceptual stage.
The Namibian desert is the oldest desert in the world, and it is also the most famous coastal desert, with the world's highest sand dunes and the wonder of "pouring sand into the sea". The wasteland apocalyptic world of the "Mad Max" series is presented here, and just imagining it is extremely exciting.
It also means that the Big Six studios have spent countless efforts to create a situation that turns out to be nothing more than a circus clown-like juggling.
Even if "Mad Max 4" finally failed at the box office, Lance also played the six major film companies for a while this time, and I am afraid that it will become the talk of people after tea and dinner in the next few months; But what if Mad Max 4 succeeds? Although there is only a 1 percent, 1 in 1,000, or even 1 in 10,000 chance, once the film detonates the box office market, it will be the moment when the big six film companies will really lose face.
"But...... What about awards season? Could it be that Lance ...... Not worried? ”
Cliff Robinson, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, shook his head slightly and smiled wryly when he heard the surprised inquiry from his colleague next to him, "Maybe Lance didn't plan to make a difference this year's awards season from the beginning." After saying that, Cliff had to show his admiration for Lance - although he really, really hated Lance, Lance earned his respect.
First of all, he had a complete falling out with George Clooney, cutting off the prospect of "good night, good luck" awards season, Lance barely left any face for the academy judges, indignantly accusing those judges of being "hypocrites", and actually praising a plagiarized work, implying that George's close relationship with the academy played an important role, which simply made the old academics of the academy angry, but there was nothing Lance could do.
Then there is the distribution strategy of "Fruit Hard Candy", no one should forget that this work was released in the form of an experimental film, even if it later won a lot of attention, Chaos Pictures insisted on not launching the academy public relations, if it weren't for Warner Bros. pushing "Vanity Fair" behind the back to hold a test screening, it is estimated that "Fruit Hard Candy" still refuses to have further intimate contact with the academy judges.
Now Lance is leading the crew of "Mad Max 4" to Africa, and seeing such a mighty battle in front of him makes people believe that he may not come back for at least half a year, so the absence of the Golden Globe Awards is a certainty, and even whether the Oscars can attend is unknown.
All of this, it can be seen that Lance doesn't care about this year's awards season at all, even though "Sin City" is competitive in terms of visual effects, even if "Hard Fruit Candy" is highly sought-after, but Lance broke his wrist and made a decisive choice, putting all his bets on "Mad Max 4" and making a desperate bet.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Lance's behavior is too impulsive and too extreme, and once "Mad Max 4" fails, it will really be nothing. But no one should forget that true geniuses are so crazy. If the Wright brothers hadn't jumped from a height, there would have been no airplanes...... What's more, the Wright brothers must have gone through countless careful calculations before experimenting, and obviously, Lance was the same.
Cliff never liked Lance, even disgusted and repulsed. But at this moment, Cliff had to give Lance a round of applause, he relied on the strength of one person to play the whole of Hollywood and all the news media, this kind of mind is definitely not something ordinary people can have.
Cliff could even imagine how wonderful the expressions on the faces of Barry Meyer, Michael Layton and Robert Iger were at this point.
In an instant, the reporters were happy, and they could have shifted their focus to the six major Hollywood studios, the unstoppable top groups, this time they really planted a heel and stole chickens without losing their money. Such an embarrassing state is estimated to have not been seen for decades, and even the rise of DreamWorks has not been able to make these giant crocodiles lose their temper, who would have thought that a mere Lancelot-Strello would really do it.
The reporters quickly returned to normalcy and immediately devoted themselves to the interview, hoping to publish the relevant information of "Mad Max 4" as soon as possible - the six major film companies are disgraced, not them, the news media is always the most "forgetful", and now that "Mad Max 4" has become a hot topic in the news, every move will involve sales and interests, so they are also very happy to report more on the crew, and make good use of the medium of "Mad Max 4", openly ridiculed the six major film companies once.
Albert turned away from the reporter, the calm smile on his face couldn't help but stiffen slightly, he quickly walked through the crowd, and then found Percy who was checking in, "God, Lance actually played so big, I can't believe it." When I faced the reporter just now, I almost had a heart attack. ”
Percy didn't turn his head, pursed his lips, and sneered, "You're just a little bold, you expected it a long time ago." ”
Albert originally wanted to complain, but Percy's eyes widened in anger, "Why don't you try it?" In the face of so many reporters, and these reporters will not be easy to relent, we don't know what those bigwigs will be angry with next, and what means they will use. ”
Percy is inconspicuous on the surface, but he is also a little flustered inside. This opportunity, Lance didn't tell anyone everything, just told everyone in the position the facts they needed to know, and waited until today for the whole puzzle to be put together, even as Lance's assistant, Percy couldn't help but gasp.
Percy turned his head to look at Albert, "Do you think Lance would have been unexpected?" 'He has absolute confidence in Reims.
Albert was stunned, he had to admit that Percy's words made sense. But on the surface, he was unwilling to compromise, and sneered, "Lance told you to arrange all the actors on the plane, and you had better not make mistakes." After the crew arrived in Africa, things had just begun. ”
Indeed, the affairs of Los Angeles have nothing to do with them, and these chaos will be left on the North American continent for the time being, and their top priority should be "Mad Max 4". As for how the six major film companies will react next, how they will retaliate, and how they will sanction, in a short period of time, this is not something that Lance needs to worry about.
