Chapter 405: The Biggest Factor in the Movie's Popularity

PS: Tickets are still requested, because I'm working on it!

Perhaps, the most interesting thing is that the first shot of the verbal and written criticism did not come from Hong Kong Island, nor from the mainland, let alone the United States, but from the British "Sun", which regarded Chen Jin as a subject of the British Empire.

It is also said that this guy with the pen name ApplyGame15 has since become King Black, very, very thoroughly, much more ferocious than the dragon shell of the "New York News", and has always been happy to find Chen Jin's awkwardness and expose his scandal.

The word human has taken on a new meaning to us

We can no longer kill each other over small things

We need to stand together for the common good

Maybe that's fate, today is Independence Day

Fight again for freedom, not against tyranny or persecution

If we win, the Fourth of July will no longer just be an American holiday

It is the day when the world takes the oath together

———— excerpt from the lines of the movie "Independence Day", how ironic, what I want to ask is, does Kingchan still have a moral bottom line, "no more cannibalism for trivial things", hehe, do the Yankees rest one day, they have been looking for things all over the world, and they have to take care of trivial things to show their superpower status.

What unity is even more bullshit, what the Yankees like to do most is to sow discord, a group of beasts with no moral bottom line, shameless scum who take pleasure in trampling on the interests of other countries, and actually say anything about unity.

The last sentence is more interesting, Independence Day will become a holiday all over the world, and people all over the world should swear together, hehe, the inner meaning of kingchan is that this world belongs to the Yankees!

That's right, Kingchan is now developing in Hollywood, and he needs to curry more snobbery with the US government and the American people, but doesn't he feel ashamed of such a fruit-eating behavior, maybe he won't, but I will, as a son of the British Empire like him, I will feel ashamed, it's disgusting that a person does such flattery for the sake of his future, and completely forgets his own country.

It can be seen from this that this person's character is definitely not much better, he is a shameless flatterer, but he has a good skin, he is not worthy of everyone's pursuit at all, to put it more clearly, he has exhausted his talents, and only relies on such a flattering way to please the Yankees - "The Sun" applygame15

"Independence Day", what a profound and shocking name, but unfortunately, the whole movie is full of great Americanism, look at the scenes of American struggle, they are directing people all over the world to resist, they seem to be the masters of this world, they are the only powerful and dominant existence, it may be said that in fact, the so-called alien invaders are based on Americans, they are such a group of people - French "Film Browse"

"The coming battle will witness the unity of humanity, and from now on July 4th will be Independence Day for the whole world", is the most sensational dialogue in Hollywood history - BBCONLINE

While the world is criticizing the film and its screenwriter Chen Jin, the Yankees, as the protagonists, did not criticize Chen Jin's flattery, but talked more about the film's related features and plots, while on Hong Kong Island, the impact of the movie "Independence Day" quickly divided into two camps.

The people of the British Empire, it's really ridiculous, please, when did King Chen become a citizen of the British Empire, he has always been the purest Chinese, as for "Independence Day", this is just a movie, the movie, originally fiction, whether it is love, or what World Independence Day, we just need to watch it. ..., the script requires entertainment, not rigorous scientific propositions, etc., if that, we shouldn't make a murderer's movie, because that would misguide the public, and even, it's the story of the prince and princess, we shouldn't have it, because that thing is pure nonsense - "Entertainment Unlimited" Shagang wolf

I have a question, if you have to go to Hollywood, King Chen is undoubtedly a great guy, but this time he made me a little confused.

With his current identity, he shouldn't need to rely on flattery to get anything, and with his genius mind, there shouldn't be a need to use such a plot to attract the audience, but he just did that, which makes me a little disappointed in him, perhaps, is this the beginning of his depravity, no longer the elegant and elegant son, the king who really exists to entertain everyone, so unique and perfect, but a king who will do whatever it takes for money and interests - "Xingwen Week" half of the pig-killing knife that everyone didn't expect is, The criticism is getting louder and louder, and it is slowly spreading, and there are even people who say that the script is plagiarized from Herbert George Wells's science fiction novel "War of the Worlds", such as the same story background and environment, the most advanced technology on earth is ineffective against aliens, and finally defeats aliens with viruses.

At the beginning, Chen Jin actually didn't plan to pay attention to it, he and Sha Gangwolf's views are similar, movies are movies, and there are not so many extended meanings, those so-called big Americanism and aggressive ideas have nothing to do with him a dime, it's just that entertainment reporters like hype, who called him popular now, and the box office of "Independence Day" made many people envious, jealous and hateful.

Until more than ten days of trouble, there was still no intention to subside, and the American entertainment reporters also pestered him every day to ask relevant questions, and the topic of plagiarism came out later, at this time, Zhang Xiaocai reminded Chen Jin that it could be used as a topic to make the movie a big hit in the early stage, but it was too long, and if Chen Jin did not respond, it would also hurt his image, so Chen Jin had to hold a press conference.

The conference room on the eighteenth floor of the Hilton Hotel, the conference room of 300 people has no gap, just watch this battle, you can understand how popular Chen Jin is now, to be honest, he is only the producer and screenwriter of "Independence Day", not the main creative staff, but the press conference caused by a small incident is not much worse than the grand premiere held when the film was released.

There's nothing to say hello to, Chen Jin is even tired of being like this now, but he can't show it, this is the distress of public figures, you laugh when you cry, and you can't let people see it.

"King, too many people say that your script has flattery for the United States and the American people, and is still promoting and showing off Great Americanism, American aggression, etc., do you have anything to say about this?" Imisery of "New York Focus" was the first to stand up and ask questions, and he is one of Chen Jin's famous supporters.

Chen Jin nodded, "Everyone, I just say it once, I will not answer this question again in the future, what I want to say is that movies are movies, a means that we use to entertain the public, and it has nothing to do with various factors such as nationality, race, men and women, rich and poor, etc., just like one of your colleagues said, I don't need to do that at all." ”

The shell of the famous king black dragon in the New York News did not intend to let Chen Jin go easily, and asked: "So, why do you use Independence Day to make a declaration, which is obviously to please our US government and Americans?" ”

Chen Jin shrugged, he also knew this guy, and smiled, "I think, this can't say anything, first, I am not a citizen of this country, and I don't need to be loyal to this country, express my patriotism, etc.; Second, I don't need to rely on this to curry favor with the U.S. government and the American people, and the U.S. government and the American people won't appreciate it. ”…,

Everyone burst into laughter, but the dragon's shell did not relax, "So, for the sake of the box office, let's create the biggest gimmick to attract the audience?" Chen Jin spread his hands, "I think the biggest gimmick of the movie is not this, but the stunts, which is also the most exciting part of the whole movie, as for everything that is hyped up now, I think it should be everyone's responsibility, although I know that everyone is trying to attract readers." ”

The counterattack was very sharp, the dragon's shell was speechless for a while, and everyone didn't want to dwell on it, Mr. M from "Good Morning, New York" stood up and asked: "King, what about the plagiarism of the script, what do you think?" ”

Chen Jin laughed self-deprecatingly, "I don't know if you believe it or not, I'm not a very knowledgeable person, although I seem to be omnipotent." ”

Everyone laughed again, and Chen Jin shrugged, "Seriously, the first time I heard Herbert George Wells' name was from your report, and then I went specifically to find the book "The Battle of the Worlds,"

said, shrugged, "There are always so many boring people in this world, who like to be far-fetched, what is the same background and environment, which end of the world is not when the people panic, broken ruins, according to him, then, the disaster movies and doomsday films we made before are all plagiarism, and the same is true of the books we wrote." ”

Pouted, "Occasional resemblance is just a few similarities, this is an inadvertent collision of human brain thinking, you can't say that I'm thinking about beautiful women now, and everyone is thinking about it, and then just say that you are plagiarizing." ”

After the press conference, Chen Jin didn't care about the outside remarks at all, maybe he didn't need to care about Zhang Xiao staring at him, his eyes had shifted to what he just said about the most important factor in the movie - special effects. Statistics of the 20 highest-grossing films in film history will find that they are either visual effects blockbusters or CG-produced animated films, and the later "Avatar" is a super representative of them, which shows how important special effects are to later films.

Since the vigorous development of digital technology, the pattern of the film industry has been completely changed due to special effects, here, we have to mention Hollywood's largest and the world's largest special effects production company: Industrial Light & Magic, the company's status in Hollywood, not only because of the fact that eight of Hollywood's ten special effects films are produced by them, but also in a sentence that can explain his sharpness - the development of the "Star Wars" series and Light and Magic is the development of world film special effects.

This year, whether it is the current "Tornado" or "Independence Day", the previous "Goldeneye" and "Onslaught", or the filming of "The Great New York Robbery" and the unstarted "Spy", there are shadows of industrial light and magic.

Chen Jin is a guy who doesn't like to be controlled, he likes everything in control, such as special effects, as the largest special effects company in Hollywood, every day is very busy, at the beginning of "Onslaught" when they approached him, their attitude was not very friendly, because it was made on Hong Kong Island, and even, the final effect was modified again and again because Chen Jin almost turned his face, that is, there was a very perfunctory element in it.

The acquisition of Industrial Light & Magic may be a good way, but this company is now profitable so well, George Lucas is not short of money, if you want to acquire, then you can only carry out a hostile takeover, and this, Yang Junchao is definitely good, he can easily do that guy George Lucas, but unfortunately, Chen Jin can't do that now, that will leave people with too many topics, which will make people disgusted and vigilant.

At the same time, in addition to special effects, there is another one, which is the so-called CG animation, which is also another direction of super-grossing movies, the just-released "The Lion King", and later "Toy Story", "Monsters, Inc.", "Finding Nemo" and so on. ..., when it comes to animation, it is inevitable to talk about the supergiant Disney Company of the American animation industry, he is a well-deserved super boss, even DreamWorks can't compete with him, and DreamWorks was only established in the past month, and one of his founders is Steven Spielberg.

In fact, when Chen Jin got the news, he also wanted to get involved, as we all know, DreamWorks is a perfect triangle composed of a super-grossing and award-winning director Steven Spielberg, a film company executive Jeff Katzenberg, and a gold medal producer David Geffen.

However, if there is a genius screenwriter and a guy who is proficient in almost everything, presumably the three of them will not refuse, and the most important thing is naturally the identity of the screenwriter, with him, it is basically guaranteed that DreamWorks will produce countless good films, which is a super temptation.

It's still the same sentence, it's better to keep good things for yourself as much as possible, and it's enough to take them out and share them occasionally, in this case, it's very stupid to cooperate with others, not to mention that it's still four people together, not to mention that you have your own film company.

Turning back, since you don't want to participate in the formation of DreamWorks, and the acquisition of Dinis is more like a pipe dream, then, there may be only one way left - start from scratch and form your own!

However, if he wants to form a soul-like character with a related aspect, Chen Jin is not suitable, he is not familiar with that thing, at least at the beginning he couldn't do it at all, so he set his sights on the current Pixar Animation Studio's John Lasseter, and even, he began to ambitiously start the idea of Pixar Animation Studio.
