Chapter 361: Do You Treat Me Like Air?
ps: At the end of the month, everyone should have one or two monthly passes, seriously, people are rising, and I don't want to be too ugly, this ranking is really plummeting!
"Ransom Storm" may not be very famous, but his previous starring Mel Gibson is impressive enough, and "Onslaught", another movie called "Brave Island", there should not be many domestic movie fans who don't know, and this is one of Nicolas Cage's masterpieces.
These two movies can be said to be Chen Jin's favorite action movies, at least the American media think that Chen Jin's favorite script is still like this, they believe that Chen Jin's attainments in art films, or hard work is not enough, and the scripts he wrote before do not have too deep humanistic care.
"Ransom Storm" is an adaptation of the American 56-year-old movie of the same name, the plot is excellent enough, it no longer simply has thrilling chase scenes and simple reasoning that is now common, it focuses more on the psychological excavation between the kidnappers and the victims, one of which is the kidnapper leader kills his own people, and later the beginning of the Hong Kong film "Dark War 1", it borrowed that form, which is very good imagination, and has enough factual basis, and the psychological portrayal of the characters is extremely perfect.
Because it can be regarded as a remake, most of the media don't have much evaluation of "Ransom Storm", and it is relatively positive, but the film "Breaking the Sky" is different.
The elder brother played the original role of Nicolas Cage, and Zeng Jiang played the role of Sean Connery, in other words, it is no wonder that Zeng Jiang wants to thank Chen Jin in particular, he is now an old man and quite popular, but his acting skills are really good.
Hollywood requires big scenes, and there is not much attention to the seriousness and scrutiny of the plot, in other words, popcorn-like movies, that is, the so-called commercial films are the mainstream, and the real pure art films, a few people pay back to invest, commercial films are often more than 100 million US dollars of investment, and pure art films, spending two or three million US dollars feel painful.
The plot of "Onslaught" is not rigorous enough, but what he sells is not rigorous, but exciting, and it is a big scene.
A farce of violence, intoxication, far-fetchedness, and moral turpitude -- "San Francisco Chronicle", this newspaper unceremoniously mocked "Breaking the Stone" this time after praising Chen Jin once last time.
It's far-fetched, but it's undeniably exciting to the extreme—the New York Times overseas glory, which is perhaps the most pertinent assessment, and it shows the essence of the film, which is a popcorn movie.
Even though the main premise of the film is ridiculous, the film shows everything that is exciting about action movies of this era. Exciting gunfights, action fights, shocking explosions and chase scenes. At the same time, it has to be mentioned that the two actors, Leslie and Kenh, have officially entered the industry of Hollywood's first-class movie stars - "Hollywood Chronicle"
Since its release, "Onslaught" has received mixed reviews, far less than the praise "Ransom Storm" has received, but you have to admit that there are always more people watching the excitement than walking away.
It's good that "Onslaught" has mixed reputations, but there are also many people who report it, some are curious, or some have seen how wonderful it is, the audience is just trying to have fun, will he go with you to compare what is unreasonable.
So, a strange thing happened, in the first week, the North American box office of "Onslaught" was as high as 28 million, occupying the top spot in the North American box office list for the first time, trampling on blockbusters such as "Speed of Life and Death", and its global box office was as high as 65 million.
As for "Ransom Storm", maybe you can say that he is just a remake of a classic, which may have made some audiences lose their enthusiasm, but many classic remakes have achieved good results, but unfortunately, "Ransom Storm" is obviously not, his North American box office is only 16 million US dollars, and the global box office is only 35 million. …,
Of course, no matter what, 21st Century Fox has already smiled crookedly, even the worst "Ransom Storm", it is obvious that the final box office may rush to almost 200 million US dollars, which is already the company's top 10 grossing film of the year.
The two films were successful one after another, and after the promotion, Fa Ge and his brother entered the work state again, this time in the United States, and when Chen Jin was busy doing the post-production of "Golden Eye", he also officially began to prepare for the two films "Mr. Sweetheart" and "The Great New York Robbery", or rather, to supervise the final progress, because the two films were in June The employees of the North American branch of Jin Chen Film Company led by Zhang Xiao were carrying out preliminary work.
"The Great New York Robbery" reached a cooperation agreement with Columbia Pictures in June, and the ratio of investment is still 7 to 5 to 2 to 5, and the distribution rights naturally have to be ceded, and it is the old rule, half of it, and there is no preferential treatment like 21st Century Fox.
Of course, that time it was 21st Century Fox who wanted to grab money, and now they have been proven right, but that kind of rule is difficult to break, just like future cooperation, Fox still has to charge fifty percent of the distribution fee, unless, after Chen Jin and Jin Chen's film company is strong enough, he will have real room for bargaining.
As for "Mr. Sweetheart", it is completely independently produced by the North American branch of Jin Chen Film Company, this movie itself does not have much difficulty, there are no special effects, and there are no thrilling scenes, it is a very simple movie, Chen Jin must let his own company monopolize it, and this is also the first time that the North American branch has been on the battlefield.
Flying from Los Angeles to New York, in addition to the final preparations, it is natural to meet a beautiful woman, that is also the first heroine in "Mr. Sweetheart" Jennifer Aniston, who is now in New York.
Jennifer Aniston's home is in New York, but she doesn't live with her family, because of work, she has now moved out and rented an apartment outside, still sharing a room with the tall chick Vivian.
In fact, don't underestimate Vivian, she is not beautiful in Chen Jin's eyes, but she is still a well-known model, her face is very popular with the modeling industry, and photographers and makeup artists also think that it has greater plasticity, as for why, this Chen Jin really doesn't understand.
Both movies were filmed in New York, Zhang Xiao and Yang Junchao basically stayed in New York with people, and then He Wei also rushed over, Chen Jinhui directed "Mr. Sweetheart", he is naturally the first assistant director, as for the director of "The Great New York Robbery" is Bill Collins recommended by Columbia Pictures, it is said that he is a very powerful guy, and he is especially good at large-scale action, drag racing, etc.
In other words, now Michael Bay is still working as an MV director, and he is not famous at all, could it be that this Bill Collins is his incarnation.
Chen Jin knows Jennifer Aniston's recent situation very well, she took on a low-budget so-called literary film a while ago, and she only played a supporting actress, how to say, the situation is not very good.
He hasn't seen her for a long time, and since he last met her in March, he hasn't asked Zhang Xiao to let them know her first when he wants to meet him.
From Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, Zhang Xiao drove a battered Ford car from the preparatory office, in fact, Jennifer Aniston also lives here, only three blocks away from here, which is very close.
The Lower East Side is generally a wealthy man, and the Upper East Side in Manhattan is the most prosperous and commercially developed area, the famous Fifth Avenue is there, Zhang Xiao and they are rich, and the preparatory office is arranged on the Lower East Side because most of the filming is here, as for Jennifer Aniston two, they are naturally greedy. ..., a very old red-walled house, and the most common building on the Lower East Side, five floors, no elevator, have already called a mobile phone, beautiful women are at home, but the voice is relatively cold, love to ignore it, I don't know what is going on.
Although it was more than five o'clock, the sun was still hot, and the weather in New York at this time was not cool at all, Chen Jin was not intrusive by the cold and heat, and looked at the surroundings There was no one around, parked the car in the parking lane in the far corner, wore sunglasses, and went upstairs with a smoke.
Jennifer Aniston's room 309 on the third floor, in the middle of the corner corridor, Chen Jin held the script in his hand, and knocked on the door, and soon there were footsteps, and he was in a hurry, and then Chen Jin felt that someone was looking out in the door mirror, and immediately burst into the most charming smile.
There was a slight snort inside, the door opened, and Jennifer Aniston was wearing a very simple set of home clothes, a loose sports T-shirt, and a pair of relatively tight shorts, however, in Chen Jin's opinion, the reason why the shorts are tight is that Jennifer Aniston has a pair of big beautiful buttocks.
Glancing at him, the beauty ignored him and walked in, as if he was not welcome, Chen Jin grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, knowing that the beauty was angry, and also guessed why she was angry, she didn't say anything, although there was still Vivian beckoning in the living room, as if she was going to greet him, she lowered her head and sealed the beauty's lips, affectionate and lingering.
This is probably the most effective way, unless that woman really hates you, otherwise, the so-called bedside and bedside are not fake, Jennifer Aniston almost didn't struggle, she fell softly into Chen Jin's arms, and kissed him eagerly.
"Hey, did you treat me like air," Vivien whistled loudly, seeing that if she didn't stop it, the two of them might be a little embarrassed, and that would be too unrestrained.
Chen Jin reluctantly stretched out his hand from Jennifer Aniston's shorts, his mouth left the beauty's lips, but he bit it affectionately again, with the strongest affection.
Jennifer Aniston was still leaning on Chen Jin's arms, delicate and crimson, her eyes were rippling with spring, one hand was rubbing behind his back, and her daughter's temperament finally came out a little again, but the obvious was almost gone, "Why haven't you come to me for so long, not even a phone call." ”
