Section 282 Goodbye
Levy knows that when he takes off the plagiarized skin, it is normal for his movies to have a slightly bad review, and he doesn't particularly care about these things. For him, instead of thinking about this, it is better to do something more important.
At the same time as the movie is hot, there is naturally some publicity and peripheral affairs. For example, if movies are now broadcast around the world, then naturally the actors have to go around other countries. After the movie was released, it caused a great response, and at this moment, the peripheral products of the movie are also hot sellers, and these things also need some energy to take care of.
Fortunately, Levy's company has absolutely no shortage of people in these areas. Alexander is already very experienced in the promotion of films, and he has no problem at all in taking charge of these things.
At this time, Levy himself was busy with another thing: after the film was filmed, there were people he always needed to thank one by one.
The success of a film is not the work of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of all people, and this Levy is well aware that he must be grateful to those who have put in the effort.
Naturally, it is needless to say that a few of my friends are shareholders of their own company and have sufficient income in themselves. And the members of their crew, needless to say: whether it is the cinematographer or the soundtrack designer of this movie, they are all people with a pivotal position, and I will naturally thank them for everything.
And Levy's main thanks are the agencies that helped them find actors, and the actors who starred in the movies - after all, they are always needed to make a sequel, and now thanking them, in a sense, is also a test of their attitude.
And thanks to Levy, whether it's the agency or the actors. All of them were very positive. They know that the filming of the sequel can make money, and at the same time, the filming of the sequel can also make them famous.
No one doubts this, for example, Mark. Before this movie, Ruffalo was just one of the promising Hollywood rookies. But in the movie, the scientist he played can be regarded as the protagonist of this movie, and he is the protagonist of such a big movie. also made him double his worth all of a sudden.
His acting skills were good, but unfortunately he was not dazzling enough, and what he needed was a chance to get ahead. And if it is normal, he will work hard in Hollywood for a long time before he can have his own place. However, one of Levy's films made him famous, and in the movie, his image is not as monotonous and simple as a superhero movie, these performances. Bringing him a lot of things.
In this case, in the face of Levy's gratitude, his response was also very fast. For the next film, everything is negotiable.
And apart from him, everyone else is about the same.
Denzel. Naturally, Washington doesn't need to say that he went all the way up at the box office after the film's release. It's already incredibly exciting. He is an actor who can get a commission, and the higher the box office, the higher his income, with this. He was satisfied enough.
Moreover, not to mention that his role in the movie is also quite good. This role can be said to be the most positive role in the play, in such a blockbuster, he is also the person who most meets the definition of a hero's image, he performs this character very well, although it is difficult to say that commercial films are too highly praised, but this also makes his image change from the good and evil of the previous movie to the direction of heroes, which is enough for him.
To have a better image, no one will object.
And the third actor, Adjani, when Levi thanked him, directly thanked Levi in return.
"I know that my temper is not very good, and when I act, my style is not very satisfactory...... Thank you for being able to tolerate my faults. I'm not going to change these questions, and I can't change them, but if you think I'm still fit to continue acting in your films, I'll still come. ”
In conversation with Levy, Adjani also talked about her temper. Obviously, she also knows her own problems, and she is still grateful for Levy's tolerance.
She knew that Levy's movie was going to be made for the second part, so she also expressed her attitude directly to Levy: she didn't take too much, or relied on the huge box office of the movie to ask for a salary increase, and she reciprocated Levy's help with a fairly easy to talk.
The film was also a very successful performance for her, but she didn't take it very seriously. Compared with those two people, she lives more freely.
"I will." Levy also expressed his gratitude for this promise.
In addition to these actors, there are also some people that Levy needs to thank: for example, the publicity companies that run for Levy's films, the staff who make special effects for the film, and the physicists who speak out in support of Levy, or the science fiction authors, these people are also things that Levy needs to thank.
These people are not as important as those with great influence, but Levi doesn't want to be too mean to them: they will have to be used for a long time in the future.
He also handled these people's thanks very well. After all, everyone is a person who stays in Hollywood, there are many opportunities to cooperate, and they all have a certain understanding of each other, and they also have their own ways of expressing their gratitude, and these things are not difficult problems.
And the most difficult person to say thank you is still from China.
In China, Levy's film was also staged - of course, Levy was also notified, and after the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television got the film, it still cut some lines from the Qin part of the film, and the scene of the Chinese representative at the United Nations meeting later--about a minute's scene was not screened in China, which also made Levy only smile bitterly at this.
These guys always do things that make people helpless.
But even the cut version of the film has been a lot of success in Chinese mainland. The film earned 60 million at the box office in China, the highest of the year so far.
As for the Qin scene in this movie, there is no shortage of various comments on the Chinese side. Some people are very satisfied with those scenes, because Levy is still willing to spend money to make movies, whether it is clothes or buildings, all aspects are almost restored, and although there are not many actors, they do reflect the heroic performance, which makes the audience quite satisfied.
After all, there are still some problems with Chinese historical dramas in these aspects. Although it is said that China has a rich historical and cultural heritage, most historical dramas do not reflect this well. Now I see foreigners using Chinese architecture and clothing, and I am also very touched by Chinese audiences.
It's just a pity that Qin Shi Huang and Feng Neumann, two people who are completely out of bounds, met, which also made some viewers dissatisfied.
Several other stories, times and backgrounds correspond, but only on the Chinese side, Qin Shi Huang and modern society do not have a boundary, which also makes the audience think that Levy lacks sufficient understanding of Chinese history and culture.
However, unlike the United States, China has long had a three-body novel. And through the novel, people also know that this is not Levy's fault, but the original book is like this, so people can't say who to blame.
However, in any case, Levy still invited the Chinese actors who participated in the film, as well as Director Zhang and others who helped Levy to match, all to the United States to express his gratitude. Of course, if you want to invite people, the original author of the novel, Da Liu, is naturally indispensable.
Da Liu came to the United States for several reasons. First, because his novel was translated and published this year, Levy wanted to try to help him apply for the Nebula Award. Second, he came to the United States to avoid the overly enthusiastic domestic media.
After the release of the Three-Body Problem, the question that people have been discussing is when the second movie will appear. In this regard, Levi has always said that he is not in a hurry and asked Da Liu to write slowly, but the hit of the first movie still made Da Liu's attention soar for a while, and there were many people who paid attention to him, which also made him full of pressure to write novels at this time.
Levi invited him this time to give him some protection, so that he could work slowly and not write the novel badly because he was in a hurry - in memory, Da Liu made such a mistake, and Levi didn't want to see it a second time.
On the other hand, Levy also mentioned the future cooperation with Director Zhang.
When the three-body problem arrives in the second part, there will definitely be a place for the Chinese. However, there is a small problem here. The first part of Levy can be changed to the American version, but in the second part, Levy also knows that no matter how he changes it, he will not be able to pass the review of radio and television - he doesn't want to stop paying attention to the inner things of his film because he considers the attitude of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television when shooting the movie, so he naturally decided to abandon the Chinese market and no longer scruple to shoot to his heart's content.
And in this way, there is a problem with the actors he needs.
The last time he went to China to film, Levy agreed to Zhang Guorong acting in the United States. And now, this TV series is also in preparation. Levy once asked the Chinese side to help him find some people to play supporting roles in this movie, which is also for the sake of making his own movie. But now, since he has this idea, then he has to be some more sacrificial actors - maybe, after the film, they will have to be banned in China for a long time, this is something that affects the career prospects of others, and Levy needs to make it clear in advance.
In this regard, Director Zhang also immediately replied, "No problem, if you can make such a movie, there will definitely be people who are willing to come." ”
Director Zhang's words are very full: After winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Director Zhang's fame in China can be said to be unique, he wants to help Levy choose actors, where does he need to worry about this?
This time when he came to the United States, he also asked Levy for help, so he naturally agreed to Levy's request.
As for what his request was...... After winning the award, he seemed to be at a loss when he drew his sword and looked around. And this time, he came for this. (To be continued......)
