The headline of the entertainment section was contracted by "Lancelot Strello will play the leading role in 'Mad Max 4'", and the excellent performance of "Killing with a Knife" is still talked about by people today, and this work is very popular in the video rental market; Unexpectedly, the superb acting skills of "Fruit Hard Candy" once again became the focus of heated discussions, and many people thought that Lance's acting talent was comparable to the director's talent. Now, Lance is about to play the leading role in a commercial blockbuster? How can people not be excited!
The two Strello brothers sparked a similar upsurge of discussion in different fields. However, under the impetus of well-intentioned people, the news on the entertainment page obviously set off a stronger response.
From the confirmation of the project of "Mad Max 4", to the promotion of "Fruit Hard Candy" and "Good Night, Good Luck", and then to the joining of the model group, this work, which claims to invest 200 million US dollars, can be called a milestone in the history of independent film studios, Chaos Pictures has achieved a height that DreamWorks has not been able to achieve, relying on its own strength to compete with the six major film studios, although this move is considered by many professionals to be a suicide action, a typical representative of courage and strategy, But I have to admire Lance's courage and courage, Chaos Pictures has only been established for less than four years, and has already occupied a place in medium-sized film companies, and has the courage to throw out 200 million US dollars in one go, even if it will be a disaster, it is enough to be comparable to the sinking of the Titanic's maiden voyage.
Who knows? Maybe in 10 or 20 years, someone will make a biography of Lance about the biggest "self-destruct" project in Hollywood history.
Undoubtedly, "Mad Max 4" has become the hottest topic of discussion this fall, and now with the news of Lance as the leading actor, it is even more full of flowers and cooking oil, for a while, there is no work that can compete with it in terms of topic heat, even Warner Bros.'s "Superman Returns", Sony Pictures' "The Da Vinci Code", and Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" have all retreated, giving people the illusion that Chaos Pictures seems to be enough to compete with the six major studios.
But real Hollywood insiders know that "Mad Max 4" is now stuck in an awkward position, all the preliminary preparations have been completed, and the boot can be announced at any time, but ...... They still haven't found a suitable studio. According to the latest news in the industry, the staff of Chaos Pictures have appeared in the Vancouver studio, but the most ironic part is that the Vancouver studio is too small!
Considering the scale of investment and shooting concept of "Mad Max 4", building a desert background in the studio is a difficult challenge in itself, and the studio in Vancouver is not as good as Burbank, the original "Titanic" and the current "Pirates of the Caribbean" were built in the Burbank studio, but Chaos Pictures is now forced to leave Vancouver, but must face the dilemma that the studio is too small.
Obviously, now Chaos Pictures has no other choice but to rent a studio in Vancouver and then make up for the limitations of the studio through the production of computer special effects in post-production. If Mad Max 4 still wants to achieve the desired visual effects, it also means that they have to put more effort into computer special effects and studio construction...... And funding. What we are talking about here is not one million or two million, but the output of ten million or twenty million.
Hollywood doesn't need to put much effort into putting Chaos Pictures in a difficult position at all. Even if Chaos Pictures can solve it, it is bound to be a big loss. They don't need to be beaten to death with a stick at all, and they can consume little by little, so that Chaos Pictures can be tortured to the point of losing their temper, and then swallow the bitter fruit and gradually die out of themselves.
Cruel, but not the slightest blood.
Since it was announced that Lance will be the leading actor in "Mad Max 4", the discussion of this work on the Internet has reached an incredible height, and it truly interprets the attention of the public to the fullest; But Chaos Pictures has been slow to move, it seems that "Mad Max 4" is still far from the official start, such a cold posture is in stark contrast to the popularity of the Internet, and the extreme gap begins to breed an indescribable sense of unease with the passage of time, as if ...... It's like a castle in the sky, crumbling and precarious, and all it takes is a breeze to undo all the hard work.
In particular, Lance returned to Los Angeles after a three-month hiatus, which caught everyone's attention - because Lance's intentions were already clear, and he had to go out and run for the rental of a studio for "Mad Max 4". Lance's every move in Los Angeles is under intensive surveillance, and every movement of Lance can be seen on the desks of the six major film companies:
Lance met with Paramount CEO Brad Gray, and the two sides had a great conversation, but no agreement was reached; Lance made an appointment with Sony Pictures chairman Michael Layton, but failed to do so; Lance met the Weinstein brothers at a private party and talked for nearly ninety minutes, but nothing came from there; Lance was introduced by Tom Cruise to lunch with Universal Pictures CEO Ron Meyer, but Chaos Pictures and Universal Pictures remained untouched afterwards; Lance personally visited DreamWorks, the specific itinerary and who he met are unknown, but there is no news from Burbank so far......
The news kept coming, but the Chaos Pictures studio matter was slow to move, the time was passing, the hope was disappearing, and the embarrassing shame was growing little by little, as if all the evidence showed that Lance had been cornered.
It's going to be a joke, it's going to be Hollywood's biggest joke since the start of filming at Waterworld of the Future, and it's going to be a joke that Hollywood is not uncommon under the power of the big six studios, and it's also a joke that independent film companies can't help themselves.
"Chaos Pictures is moving!"
The news spread like a wildfire, sporadically and then quickly spread, with more than 300 reporters flocking to Los Angeles International Airport and even the top executives of major studios paying attention to it - is Lance really going to Vancouver in disgrace? Are they really going to witness Lance's embarrassed back? Is Lance's hubris finally going to pay the price? Is "Mad Max 4" finally going to be announced?
When the reporters arrived at LAX, they were horrified, even though they were used to seeing countless big scenes.
The entire departure hall was occupied by countless packages and dense crowds, which was sparse and ordinary, but the problem was that all of them were members of the "Mad Max 4" crew, and the shooting equipment and props in sight had been piled up into a small mountain, which looked like ...... Moving the entire camera crew out of Los Angeles? It's a rare sight!
It's the 21st century, and freight transportation around the world is very developed, generally speaking, the crew goes abroad to shoot, and there is no need to move all the equipment, just buy it locally. For example, if you go to Vancouver, the studios in Vancouver will also provide corresponding equipment, even if the crew wants to use more advanced related equipment, they only need to carry a small part of it, and there is no need to work at all.
But right now, the reporters saw such an incredible scene.
What's even more terrifying is that there are more than 500 people gathered next to the relevant equipment, are all these members of the crew of "Mad Max 4"? Normally, crews of more than 300 people are large crews - not including extras, of course, because extras are always looking for them locally. Of course, the entire crew of "Avatar" has more than 2,000 people, which is a special case, of which the special effects personnel have reached 1,500. However, like "Mad Max 4", the entire crew has 500 people, and they are dispatched collectively, which is really comparable to migratory bird migration.
Even after seeing such a grand occasion, the reporters still couldn't believe their eyes, but then they spotted a group of leading actors, Michael Fassbender and Emma Stone were talking, next to Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima and other supermodels, and Lance's assistant Percy Brandley could be seen not far away...... All the clues are showing, and the whole crew will move collectively.
But just going to Vancouver? Is it necessary to exaggerate so much? It is completely possible to go separately in batches. Moving collectively like this is not only cumbersome, but also costly, and simply not cost-effective. Or did Lance do this on purpose just to demonstrate to the media? However, going to Vancouver to shoot in the gray is a disaster that no excuse can make up, and even if the momentum is so large, it looks no different from fleeing in the eyes of reporters.
After the reporters arrived at the scene, they all stayed in place in shock, their brains couldn't turn around at all, they couldn't find Lance in the first place, but they captured the figure of Albert Allen, as Lance's royal dramatist, today Albert is undoubtedly the chief dispatcher of the scene, and his grasp of the situation may be clearer than Lance. So, all the reporters surrounded Albert in a mighty way.
In the face of reporters' questions, Albert seems to have been prepared for a long time, "Yes, the crew of 'Mad Max 4' officially started today and is ready to be filmed. We chartered three Boeing 777s and we flew to the African continent en masse, first to Cape Town and then to the Namibian desert. Thank you all for your concern! ā
Miscellaneous...... What the? Africa? Namibia? Not Vancouver? This...... When did this happen? (To be continued.) )
