The three heaviest roles in the film are the male protagonist Sam, the heroine Michaela and Len Locks as the representative of the United States. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just by submitting resumes to the crew, the number of actors who want to audition for Sam and Michaela exceeds 250.

All the agents who think they can get in touch with the crew are almost jumping up and down looking for opportunities, even if they can't get Duke's favor, as long as they can participate in the audition, it is a kind of qualification and even hype their own capital.

However, a considerable number of the candidates who passed the first audition for the three roles were from Nancy? Josephson's ICM.

Duke doesn't mind that, Nancy is a core member of his team, and he's not an inflexible person as long as it makes sense.

What's more, Nancy? The actors Josephson sent to the crew to participate in the audition were basically of the best quality.

It's just that when Duke opened the file bag and flipped through the audition actors' profiles, the first photo that appeared in front of him was an unusually familiar face, Steven? Spielberg's godson - Thea? LaBeouf.

"This was introduced by Spielberg." Tina? Fei said in a timely manner.

Duke nodded, but basically sentenced Thea in his heart? LaBeouf's death sentence, unless no suitable candidate can be found, will certainly not be used on him.

There is always a difference between relatives and aliens, if he is George? Recommended by Lucas, Duke will definitely give priority.

After a rough look at the information of the actors, there are some familiar names, such as Chris? Hemsworth, Andrew? Garfield, Robert? Pattinson, Chris? Pine, and even Duke saw James? Franco's name.

Actors born in the seventies are certainly not on Duke's radar.

Closing the information of the actors, Duke put it aside for the time being, and then took the part of the actresses, the requirements of the actresses are actually simpler, on the basis of ensuring basic acting skills. The appearance should be beautiful and the body should be hot enough.

This is a teen-oriented popcorn movie after all.

After a rough look, more than half of the agencies noted by the actresses are ICM, and Duke thought of the names he had seen. Can't help but nod, Nancy? Josephson's vision was not bad.

Among them, there are many names that he vaguely remembers, such as Emma? Stone, Blake? Beverly, Emma? Roberts, Emma? Watson and so on......

However, these people Duke are not very satisfied, this mainly comes from their appearance, they are still a little far from being hot. On the contrary, it is the two newcomers recommended by imc, and it seems to be very good in terms of appearance conditions alone.

One of the two is called Amber? Hilde, a man called Margot? Robbie is a typical blonde girl.

Although the two names seemed familiar, Duke couldn't remember what roles they played.

He made a note on the two people's profiles, and then said to Tina? "Let Anna focus on them at her next audition." ”

"What about the actors?" Tina? Faye asked.

After taking the actor's information, Duke thought about it, in Andrew? Garfield and Robert? Pattinson's name is noted below. Then I took the last piece of information and looked at it, and highlighted one called Channing? Tatum's male model.

After simply sorting out the information, Duke handed it to Tina? Fey, "Give it to Anna, I may go to the Pentagon in a few days, and you and her will be in charge of the second audition." ”

Duke wanted to go to the Pentagon to shoot on location, but since 911, no Hollywood crew has ever shot from the Pentagon, which also requires coordination and communication.

Tina? As Faye prepares to leave, Duke thinks of something else. said, "The selection of Lenlocks will be finalized as soon as possible, and the hero and heroine can take their time." ”

The male and female protagonists do not require special training, but are actors who play special forces officers. It is necessary to receive professional training from a team sent by the military, along with other actors who play as military personnel.

All Hollywood big productions involving special themes will do this, and it has even become a convention.

Like James? Cameron's crew, after finalizing several main actors some time ago, the king of the world put the actors and the production staff of the crew. Together, they were brought to a Maori tribe in New Zealand to experience the pristine bush life.

Making a movie is never an easy thing to do, and even more so for commercial big productions.

Before going to the Pentagon, Duke attended the priority audition for the role of Lenlocks, which was then finalized by Channing? Tatum starred, this actor was born as a model, his body and muscles are more in line with the image of a soldier, and the biggest flaw is that stiff face, but this is not a problem for a military character.

Will Channing? Tatum and other actors threw Daniel? Colonel Frese and others trained, and Duke flew to Washington, D.C., to meet with the Pentagon's upper echelons to thoroughly finalize a series of matters related to filming.

Duke is busy, snatching David from "This Man is from Earth" from him? Ellison was also busy with the movie.

After spending $2 million to buy the rights, David? Naturally, Ellison wanted to push the film into theaters, and asked the distribution department of his Sky Studios to actively contact theaters to prepare for the release of the film as soon as possible.

Now that $2 million has been spent, David? Ellison didn't care about spending another $2 million on the promotion of the film, and if the film could sell tens of millions of dollars at the North American box office, he would have a reason to ridicule Duke the next time he saw him.

$2 million is a lot, but in this day and age, trying to use $2 million to promote a film is like a pebble thrown into the sea, and it can only make a small splash.

Advertisements for this film can only appear on the Internet, newspapers, television and radio in some unimportant pages and time periods, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the audience.

But David? Ellison is not stupid, and after adding an additional $1.5 million in promotional expenses, he has controlled the expenditure, after all, this is a niche independent film.

Even the most optimistic estimates, David? Ellison also didn't expect the film to grossing more than $30 million in North America, and his expectation was $10 million, which was enough to make him sneer in front of Duke.

After the additional publicity investment, "This Man is from Earth" has also caused some waves, in the land of North America, niche films despite their limited audience, there is no shortage of fans, and the annual off-season is the most active time for these fans.

However, "This Man Is from Earth" has attracted attention in terms of publicity, but it has encountered quite a bit of trouble in terms of distribution.

Distribution is not a department that can be done well by recruiting some experienced staff, North American cinema companies and Hollywood established companies are inextricably linked, the same conditions, the same investment scale of films, cinema resources will definitely give priority to those traditional old companies.

Like David? Ellison, a new company, has just started to do distribution, and the number of theaters given by the theater chain is not only very small, but also the location is relatively remote.

If it weren't for him to open his way with money, "This Man is from Earth" might not be released until next year by the North American Theater Alliance......

However, money can always play a lot in this country, although the number of theaters is a little less and the location is more remote, but "This Man from Earth" can finally officially land in the North American market in late September with the scale of more than 120 theaters.

In David? In Ellison's view, this is not entirely a bad thing, as long as the film starts with a screening, as long as the screening results and audience reputation are good enough, even if it is for commercial gain, the theater company will expand the scale of screening.

But the film needs to be released, and there are a lot of expenses, such as copies, and more than 130 copies cost Sky Studios $300,000.

The quality of the film was so average that it would have been a disaster if it had been shown in high-definition digital technology, and it would have been a disaster to make copies on conventional 35mm film.

The cost of digital technology has dropped dramatically, while the price of film is rising......

After investing nearly five million dollars, David? Ellison finally waited for the release time of the film, his expectations were really not high, as long as the box office of "This Man from Earth" can exceed $5,000 in a single theater in seven days a week, he will be able to win a certain amount of attention and expand the opportunity to be screened in this off-season of the movie, so as to achieve the plan of exceeding $10 million at the North American box office.

However, there is always a wide gap between imagination and reality, in the eyes of niche film lovers, "This Man is from Earth" is indeed a good movie, but just like "The Shawshank Redemption" was re-screened or failed at the box office under the eyes of countless sympathy and attention, not all good movies are suitable for theaters, and not all good movies deserve high box office as a matter of course.

The day after the release of "This Man is from Earth", David? Ellison got a statistic.

"125 theaters, a total of 426 audiences, a single-day box office of $2,556......"

See the numbers on the report, David? Ellison already had a bad premonition, but there was still some hope, after all, it was a small-scale first day of release, and perhaps with the passage of time and the spread of word of mouth, the film's results would get better.

On IMDB, the film's rating is quite high, and in the following days, the IMDB rating of "This Man is from Earth" has remained high, even if it has been released for a week, the score is as high as 8.6 points.

At the same time, some fans commented in the comment column, thinking that "This Man is from Earth" is a good movie, which can be called a brain-opening masterpiece......

But on the contrary, the film's attendance and box office figures are outrageously low. (To be continued.) )
