Chapter 191: The Legend of Oscar

Chapter 191: The Legend of Oscar

From the perspective of action movies, "Smith Fu" can only be said to be very ordinary, which is also a common problem of Hollywood films, and it will never create the beauty and poetry of Chinese action movies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But the key to this emotional action movie is not in the action, but in the emotion.

Through the first half of the film, a phenomenon can be reflected, that dishonest love will inevitably go to the grave. Smith and his wife are both legendary killers, but they don't know each other's identities, they have to hide everything, even their living habits, they can't carry out a deep jiāo stream, and after five or six years, everything will be dull.

And the second half of the film illustrates another phenomenon, that is, sincerity. When the identity of the couple is unraveled, although it is difficult to accept it for a while, through the sincere jiāo flow, their lives immediately return to ji, and they will not swerve until death.

So, the big scene of the film, the gunfight of Jing Cai...... It's just for the sake of these emotional outlooks, to make such emotions more appealing. And in such a play, the delicate performance is undoubtedly the most important, and it just so happens that Julia's acting ability is recognized in Hollywood, especially this kind of performance with a light comedy flavor is at its peak.

"What's the matter, didn't ruin your script?" Seeing the reaction at the scene, Julia was a little complacent, she knew that she had conquered the audience with another brilliant performance.

"Then you have to look at the box office to know, do you want to gamble?" Liang Xiǎo Long continued to youhuo, saying that Julia's cooking skills have been improving in the past few years, and he didn't go to Julia's house to eat, but he didn't eat forty dishes.

"Good proposal, your recent film box office record has skyrocketed, 160 million investment won the box office of 1.4 billion US dollars, how can the 100 million US dollars have to have a box office of 7 or 800 million US dollars, right?" Julia has started to play black again, if you count according to this ratio, then Liang Xiǎo Long is not a legendary filmmaker, and in a few years, his total assets will definitely surpass Bill. Gates.

"I don't know you." Liang Xiǎo Long gave him a blank look and left flutteringly.

The next day, Yanhuang Film Company held an important audition to select xiǎo actors for "Legend of Doom". The interview was also very interesting, as the parents brought their children with them. Seeing the xiǎo children in the shape of the sèsè, Liang xiǎo dragon immediately remembered that Rachel had a xiǎo baby in her belly, and couldn't help but laugh heartily, he believed that his baby would also be as cute as these xiǎo guys.

Liang Xiǎo Long does not have high requirements for xiǎo actors, as long as they have a certain acting ability, in the film, there is not much place for them to play. Therefore, when Liang xiǎo dragon auditioned, he was also a group of three xiǎo children, giving a simple xiǎo nomination and letting xiǎo friends play freely. It is precisely in this way that many jokes are made, such as a xiǎo girl, Liang xiǎo dragon asked her to think about it, xiǎo 丫tou also entered the play, Liang xiǎo dragon said it was okay, and xiǎo girl replied innocently: "I haven't thought enough about it." "The cute side of the xiǎo girl was chosen right away.

xiǎo 丫头 is called Winnie. Wilson, and another one named Lars. Jackson's xiǎo guy was chosen, and the cast of the script was decided, which were Liang Xiǎo Long, Sophie, Jessica, Winnie, and Lars. When the list of actors was announced, public opinion immediately went crazy again, the captain was going to act, and he was still playing the leading role? Will it work?

Those who are familiar with the xiǎo saying of "I Am Legend" know that the whole story is basically the story of the protagonist alone, can Liang xiǎo dragon perform this role well? Although the captain of Liang Xiǎo's dragon performance and the man in stockings are good, after all, he still lacks acting skills, and it is still a question whether he can perform a good role. Of course, people are more curious and expectant, and they all want to know how high Hollywood's biggest investment film in history can reach.

In terms of crew building, Liang Xiǎo Long still chose the old team, after all, they have cooperated for so many years, and they know each other's roots, and it is very convenient for Cào to do. Especially Wadmei, this time he launched a ruthless attack, threatening: "I must perfectly outline the image of the night demon, and I must be nominated for the Oscar for Best Makeup next year." Wadme is really depressed, almost all of the crew of "Million Dollar Baby" have been nominated for Oscars, but he, the makeup artist, has been left behind.

"The first few films didn't require a lot of makeup, but this film is really the best choice for you to use your personal strengths." Liang Xiǎo Long encouraged that the Night Demon is an important part of the film, so Liang Xiǎo Long has also been redesigned to incorporate elements of Avatar so that it does not look like a cold and ugly dried corpse.

As soon as the crew was set up, Liang Xiǎo Long immediately fell into a hurry, especially Weta Digital Studio, through whom most of the film had to be completed. Liang Xiǎo Long was very impressed with the original film, most of the shots were shot in real time, and they were synthesized with special effects in the later stage. However, after Liang Xiǎolong's reconception and the integration of a large number of sci-fi and magical elements, the live-action shooting could no longer meet his requirements. So, except for the part of the scene in the dream, almost all the rest had to be done in the studio of Weta Digital Studio.

But even so, there are a lot of things to do during the live action shoot, in addition to coordinating the location and between shots, you also have to take a three-dimensional view of half of New York City, including every street and building that needs to be used. Because the scenes shot in the studio have no background and are simulated through digital technology, and the simulated object is the real New York City. Of course, there will certainly be many local adjustments and changes.

In the midst of the busyness, "Million Dollar Baby" is finally about to be drawn, and in the last week, it won $8 million in the United States, $17 million overseas, and the final box office was $1.454 billion. "Smith Fu" also completed a three-day premiere, taking in $54 million, which is a very good result, and also managed to top the weekly box office list. Yanhuang Film Company is also very satisfied with this result, after all, not every film has a crazy box office, otherwise madness can't be called crazy.

However, Julia was very dissatisfied with this result, and immediately called Liang Xiǎo Long and scolded him, Liang Xiǎo Long couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister Big Mouth, this box office is already very good, and it will be released overseas this week, I estimate that there should be no problem with 500 million at the box office." Julia snorted, "But what I want is a film that grosses more than a billion dollars." "Liang Xiǎo Long suddenly had an urge to vomit blood, a billion-dollar box office that is something you want to have? Even "My Regiment Leader, My Group" and "Million Dollar Baby", Liang Xiǎo Long didn't expect such a crazy box office, it was purely accidental.

In fact, as Liang Xiǎo Long expected, the first three days of release were $54 million, and the next week was released for seven days, and the United States was still good, winning $51 million, ranking first in the weekly box office list, and the total domestic box office has reached $105 million. The overseas box office was much better than in the United States, earning $87 million. Ten days after its release, the global box office has reached $192 million. Such a box office is enough to illustrate the problem, this is another film that can achieve profitability at the box office alone.

And at this time, Liang Xiǎo Long has completed all the filming work in the United States, and is saying goodbye to Winnie Xiǎo girl: "Xiǎo guy, call uncle when you have time." Xiǎo girl sensibly kissed Liang Xiǎo Long on the face: "Goodbye, uncle, Winnie will miss you." Liang Xiǎo Long smiled: "It seems that our charm is that men and women are all killed." ”

Liang Xiǎo Long gave the crew two days off, although he knew that he didn't have many levels of work, and everyone was not tired, but after all, he was about to go to New Zealand, and it was a few months long, so he had to let the crew accompany his family well, or arrange to bring his family to New Zealand.

Liang Xiǎo Long is not going to go with the crew, he is ready to take the first step and settle his home over there, after all, Rachel is pregnant, and if she wants to go there, everything has to be done. Ye Ying was even ready to go together, saying that she wanted to take care of her daughter-in-law Fu and her unborn grandson, and Liang Xiǎo Long persuaded her to stop her: "Mom, you can rest assured, Sophie and Sweetheart will also go over together, with the two of them watching, there will be no problem." Ye Ying glanced at him: "It's okay if you don't go over, but you listen to me, don't be angry over there, otherwise I'll not be done with you." Liang Xiǎo Long repeatedly assured that he would go to New Zealand with peace of mind.

After settling in New Zealand, Liang Xiǎo immediately rushed to Weta Digital Studio, while watching the progress of the work, while putting forward his own opinions on the production of special effects, especially the prototype of each mutated animal, he had to repeatedly determine it to ensure that it would be liked by the audience. In fact, there are relatively large business opportunities in this regard, if a model of a mutant animal is done well, it will inevitably be sought after, and the toys launched will inevitably be able to sell well. Like the dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park", the robots in "Transformers" created great profits by distributing toys after the release of the film.

Of course, there is another feature that is very important and the basis for the release of the film, that is, bi zhen. Just like the group of huge deer in "Avatar", they are actually transformed from moose, and the horses are also changed by horses in reality. Therefore, Liang Xiǎo dragon also respects these mutated creatures more in respect of the animal archetypes in reality, and then exaggerates.

After Liang Xiǎo Long visited, Peter took Liang Xiǎo Long to the office, chatted for a while, and offered to shoot "The Lord of the Rings". Liang Xiǎo Long promised that as long as there was no problem with Weta Digital Studio's special effects technology, he would shoot this film. And in this life, Weta Digital Studios has developed even faster than in previous lives, and even the City of Warcraft in "Legend of Doom" conceived by Liang Xiǎo Long can be produced, and filming "The Lord of the Rings" is not a problem at all. Therefore, Peter couldn't help but want to devote himself to the filming of this blockbuster.

"The Lord of the Rings, too, came out." Liang Xiǎo Long frowned and thought for a while, in addition, "Ali Bote" should also be put into filming. However, Liang Xiǎo Long is now going to shoot "Legend of Doom", which requires Peter to check the technology, so he personally hopes that after filming "Legend of Doom", Peter will shoot "The Lord of the Rings".

Liang Xiǎo Long put forward his thoughts, Peter thought about it for a while, and then agreed, anyway, they have been silent for so many years, and they don't care about taking the opportunity for another half a year. Moreover, it is not without benefits to follow the filming of "Legend of Doom", a large investment of 250 million US dollars, maybe next year it can be exchanged for an Oscar xiǎo golden man.

Time passes day by day, and the Oscars are getting closer and closer, and this year's Oscars chose to be in the Dorothy Tent Theater in Hollywood, which can be regarded as a kind of return. At least, none of the Oscars that Liang Xiǎo participated in were held in Hollywood, and they were all in the big theaters in Los Angeles. Moreover, this year's host is also Liang Xiǎo Long familiar Whoopy. Goldberg, late-night talk show host.

The Oscars were hosted and broadcast live by ABC TV, in addition to the fact that the final award could not be leaked, Liang Xiǎo Long also received a lot of information from Mark, and he felt a little dumbfounded when he saw the repercussions caused by this Oscar. It is said that in Britain, the highest demand for best picture is not "Million Dollar Baby", but "Shakespeare's Love History", and there is no way, who made this film about the great writer of their country. And this had the consequence that Shakespeare was so popular that any Shakespeare work, or pictures of Shakespeare, was largely sought after by the British, and the publishers and bookkeepers of Ong's books made a windfall.

"If I had bought out the film adaptation rights of xiǎo said "Million Dollar Baby" and explained that it was adapted by this xiǎo said, then I'm afraid this xiǎo said would also be a big hit, right?" Liang Xiǎo Long Waner smiled, but this is also a very possibility, even inevitable. When he bought the film adaptation rights of "Harry Both", it affected the sales of Xiǎo, not to mention that it was a film with a box office of up to $1.4 billion.

In addition, under the promotion of ABC TV, this year's Oscars will also become the largest fashion stage in Hollywood history and even international history. Hundreds of NV guests attending the Oscars will be dressed up in the works of some of the world's most famous fashion designers.

From this point of view, ABC TV is still very business-minded, and if it is done like this, not only men love to watch it, but also NV people love to watch it. The difference is that men look at beauties, and NV people look at clothes and fashion. 、

Of course, fashion is far from enough, beauties also need gems to match, and for this night, the total value of jewelry loaned out by major jewelry companies is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars, of which the total value of jewelry loaned by Harry Winston Jewelry Company to the Oscar NV star is as high as 71 million US dollars.

"That's crazy, isn't it?" Liang Xiǎo Long looked a little dizzy, if any blind robber set his eyes on the Oscars and robbed a star casually, the jewelry on his body could be exchanged for a sum of money. Yes, Liang Xiǎo Long feels that this year's Oscars are indeed too extravagant, especially the last piece of information, there will be a celebration banquet after the awards ceremony, which will use 36,000 plates and bowls, 18,000 wine glasses of all kinds and 500 bottles of champagne, which is not small.

However, luxury is luxury, but the economic benefits brought by the Oscars to the city of Los Angeles every year are also very exaggerated, beauty salons, dress rentals, catering services, float rentals...... These profits add up to an absolutely terrifying number. So, for the people of Los Angeles, it's a big awards show to be held several times a year.

However, regardless of the repercussions, the Xiǎo Golden People Huā Who's Family will always be the most concerned topic on this day. This year's Oscars are the competition of the four films "Million Dollar Baby", "Shakespeare in Love", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Beautiful Life", which are almost recognized by the media and films, but the four films have their own characteristics, who can win?

Until the results are known, the narrative will never be unified, and there is even a great deal of disagreement. These differences are not fixed in one award, and almost every award involving these four films will be very controversial. Of course, there is also an award that is absolutely unanimous, and that is the Best Visual Effects Award, which almost everyone thinks belongs to "Million Dollar Baby", to Yanhuang Film Company, and to Weta Digital Studios.

3.20, on the eve of the Oscars, all the nominated filmmakers received a message from the organizers: in order to control the process in the store, the organizers stipulated that each winner could not speak for more than 45 seconds.

"Isn't that nonsense?" Liang xiǎo dragon can't help but laugh, if he really gets xiǎo golden man, and his emotions are tense, who will remember to control time? Especially two kinds of people, one is the first time they were nominated and won the xiǎo golden people, and the other is the one who was nominated many times and finally won the xiǎo golden people, if they moved, they trembled for more than 45 seconds, can you still pull them off the stage?

"Tomorrow, just don't be too aggressive." Jessica joked.

"I'm going to be on stage for three to five minutes." Liang Xiǎo Long laughed, last year because of the collision with "Titanic" and the best director and best picture, if you can win these two awards this year, you have to be on stage for a while.

"Others will scold you for stealing the camera." Sophie laughed and scolded, the Oscar is not a stage for one person, it is a stage for all filmmakers, even if you are the best director, it is only a part of this stage.

"Men, in particular, are going to scold them." Rachel agreed, the Oscars are full of beautiful NVs, it is the time to feast the eyes, and the man wants a man to appear on the camera?

"Excuse me, three beautiful NV, can I understand that you are jealous?" Liang Xiǎo Long cast a look of contempt in exchange for three pillows. But the next day, he was busy, not only the three beautiful wives had to make up and dress up, but he also had to dress up well, and he couldn't lose our Chinese face at the Oscars. However, in terms of clothing, Liang Xiǎo Long still chooses our Chinese Tang costume, which can better reflect the style of our Chinese.

ps: I quit smoking today, it's too painful, my hands always feel itchy, I want to reach out and grab a cigarette, and I pat myself every time. Also, my head is a little dizzy, and it's hard to concentrate on writing a book, so the quality of this chapter is a little worse, forgive me. Guys, wish me success in quitting.
