Chapter 322: Gloomy Weather

Compared to those movies with intricate editing structures, such as Christopher. Nolan's "Fragments of Memory" and David. The editing of Fincher's "Fight Club" and "Wild Story" is not complicated, the story is completely narrated in chronological order, and the biggest difficulty is nothing more than how to present beautiful and shocking visual effects, but this is really simple for Lin Yuquan, who has already generated specific pictures in his mind.

In fact, since the special effects occupy a crucial position in the film this time, the editing of the movie is just the most preliminary beginning of the post-production of "Wild Story".

This time for the editing of "Wild Story", Lin Yuquan is still looking for Michael. Kahn, the last time the two worked together very happily in "Hurricane Rescue", and Michael. After spending the day together looking through the footage from cover to cover, the two of them immersed themselves in the editing room and began editing and trailer editing.

While Lin Yuquan was busy, the box office journey of "Hurricane Rescue" has continued, and in the third week of its release, in addition to the film's own audience base is suddenly decreasing, the film has also encountered more and more strong opponents.

When it comes to this week's most watched new film in the world, it's naturally not Nicholas. "National Treasure 2: Raiders of the Lost Ark" starring Cage is the only one.

Although since winning the Oscar for "Escape from Las Vegas" in 1995, Cage quickly changed his acting path and entered commercial action movies, gradually becoming the most famous king of bad movies in Hollywood, but it is undeniable that he has achieved great success in commercial films, such as "Breaking the Sky", "The Faceless Two", and "Prison in the Sky" have achieved amazing box office. Above Cruise.

Among them, "National Treasure" is a blockbuster film starring Cage, which was originally hung under the title of Touchstone Pictures, and was not released under the title of Disney until two months before its release, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, after its release on Friday, November 19, 04, it earned $35.29 million at the box office in three days over the weekend, surpassing the $33.5 million of "Adventures with Baseball Cubes", and topped the weekend box office in North America. In the end, it collected 173 million North American box office and 347 million global box office, both of which ranked among the top ten in North America and the global box office that year.

"National Treasure 2: Raiders of the Lost Ark" is still produced by Disney, with a $130 million investment, a sequel to a super-grossing movie, 3,832 theaters, Cage and Hollywood gold producer Jerry. Bruckheimer's fifth collaboration after "Death Island", "Prison in the Sky", "60 Seconds" and "National Treasure" has made the film shine and is considered another strong contributor to the annual box office.

In addition, like "Charlie's War", which was produced by Universal and landed in 2,575 theaters, the recognized golden partner Tim. Burton and Johnny. Depp teamed up again with "Sweeney Todd", Warner Bros. produced "P.S. I Love You" in 2,454 theaters, Sony produced and landed in 2,650 theaters "Never Stop", "Assembly" released simultaneously in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, "Dark Materials: The Golden Compass" in South Korea and other places this week, and Japan's "Mary and Puppy Story" and "Hurricane Rescue" The challenges are staggering.

Countless people's eyes are also attracted by these eye-catching movies, and for those filmmakers or fans of the movie, the fans of the film's main creator, what they are most concerned about is the weekly box office war that still affects their hearts despite being held every week.

"The box office of "Assembly" was popular on the first day, with a box office of 12.3 million on the first day, a total of 25 million box office in two days, and an estimated box office of 50 million in the first week, setting a new record for the highest box office income of domestic modern war films."

In a residential commercial building in Hong Kong, Chen Kexin looked at the news on the computer screen in front of him, with a wry smile on his face, what he was most worried about finally happened, he originally thought that the box office of the war movie "Assembly" should not be too strong, but he did not expect it to be completely miscalculated, and the box office of this Feng Bigang movie, which was less than the screen released on the screen last week, was higher than his "Vote for Fame", which fully illustrates the popularity of the movie.

It's okay if it's just a high box office for the premiere, similar to "Wu Ji", after achieving an extremely amazing opening week box office, because of the poor word-of-mouth, the box office of the film quickly fell to the bottom in the following weeks. But the problem is that the reputation of "The Assembly" is too good, and the major media and film critics have unanimously praised it, believing that "The Assembly" is the best Chinese film of the same type.

Good word-of-mouth is always the most effective booster to promote the continuous growth of the movie box office, and in the case of audience applause and applause, the follow-up box office momentum of the film must be extremely optimistic.

In comparison, it is his own "Casting Names", which is considered to be extremely difficult to see the fight scenes, which is completely incomparable with Lin Yuquan's movies.

This made Chen Kexin extremely aggrieved, not only could he not compare with Lin Yuquan, but no one could compare with Lin Yuquan in the fight scenes, it was precisely because he knew that the fight scenes shot according to the conventional ideas would definitely be disgraced in front of Lin Yuquan's movie, so he simply took the sword sideways, paying more attention to the expression of the connotation of the movie, and the movie scenes were not so fancy, and he cared more about the cruelty of the war, but unexpectedly, the audience did not eat him at all, and they all thought that he was not suitable for making commercial films.

However, Chen Kexin looked out the window at the slightly gloomy weather, maybe he should really return to literary films, he then sighed, of course he was unwilling, but the box office fiasco of "Casting Names" was inevitable after the unexpected performance of "Assembly Number", and he lost the trust of mainland film investors, and it was impossible for him to get a large investment to shoot large-scale commercial films in a short period of time, and he had to return to literary films.

"The momentum of "Hurricane Rescue" continues unabated, with a daily box office of 7.3 million, and a total of 210 million in the mainland, Lin Yuquan's magic continues."

In a business building near the Kunlun Hotel in Kyoto, Wu Yusen is also looking at the report on the box office of the movie, with a complex and decadent look in his eyes, since the fiasco of the two big-scale Zuò movies "The Wind Whisperer" and "Memory Rift", with the launch of the "Battle of Red Cliffs" project, he and his old partner established the Lion Rock Pictures headquartered in the United States, but the focus of their careers is in the mainland film market, for this reason, they set up a branch in Kyoto, in addition to filming, Wu Yusen himself has almost always lived in Kyoto, as long as he is in KyotoDuring the working day, he came to work every afternoon, or pondered the movie, or held a meeting to discuss the film plan, or organized the screenwriter to write the script.

Chen Kexin's "Casting a Name" box office is destined to suffer a failure In the eyes of him who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, it is obvious that it can be judged lightly, Wu Yusen doesn't care about this at all, he and Chen Kexin are not familiar with each other, Chen Kexin's rise in the Hong Kong film industry was in the early 90s of the last century, when he reached his personal peak in Hong Kong, and his mind was all about going to Hollywood for development, coupled with the clear boundary between literary films and commercial films, the two had little intersection, so naturally they couldn't worry about each other.

However, the feeling of sympathy for the same fate is somewhat bit, the two are barely Hong Kong directors who came to the mainland to shoot the Chinese blockbuster zuò, and both suffered box office fiascos because of the first commercial film co-produced with the mainland, and even the reason for the failure of the two can be attributed to Lin Yuquan in a large way, such an encounter is very easy to arouse inner emotional resonance.

And the reason why he said that there was only one point was because he was now crossing the river with mud and bodhisattva, and it was still difficult to protect himself, so where did he have the heart to worry about others.

Putting away his gaze, Wu Yusen sighed, I don't know what the situation in his home town is? He suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, damn it, why is he a dignified Chinese director, always vulnerable in front of that young man.

The violent noise alarmed others outside the office, and a flat-headed young man in a black down jacket hurriedly pushed the door in, and said quickly: "Director Wu, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, there's nothing wrong, Xiao Zhang, you go out and get busy!" Wu Yusen's gritted teeth instantly changed to a warm smile.

"Okay, Director Wu." The flat-headed young man glanced at the situation in the room quickly, said respectfully, stepped back and closed the door by the way.

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong with Director Wu?" A fair-skinned young man with a slightly obese figure asked.

"Who knows? You ask me, I ask who to go, okay, Director Wu let everyone do their own work. The flat-headed young man shrugged his shoulders and said seriously.

"What kind of work, didn't our film project stop? Hey, why does Director Wu have to get along with Lin Yuquan, it's good now, the movie that was originally prepared has also been lost. A short-haired girl muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, I don't understand this, because of the fiasco of "The Battle of Red Cliffs", Director Wu has opinions about others!" The slightly obese young man chuckled and said,

"Just for this, it seems that Lin Yuquan did not compete directly with Director Wu, even if the same theme collided and the movie results were not satisfactory, this is not to blame others, besides, Lin Yuquan's movie was originally made well, my friends and I almost watched it, losing to him is not an unacceptable thing, there are too many people who lose to him in this world." The short-haired girl said.

"Okay, do your own thing, for fear that Director Wu won't be able to hear it?" The flat-headed young man scolded, seeing that the two of them were quiet, and walked towards his seat, in fact, he didn't agree with Wu Yusen's bombardment of Lin Yuquan at all, why should he not get along with others for that little face? Maybe it was a breath at the time, but the end result was too much to make.

Raising his eyes and looking at the dark sky through the glass window, his mood suddenly became indescribably gloomy, if Mr. Zhang couldn't reverse the situation, it would be terrible, maybe he should have made plans earlier.

When the office returned to its previous quiet, a rush of footsteps from outside broke the quiet atmosphere again, followed by a middle-aged man of medium stature and glasses, wearing a gray suit, with a shrewd and capable aura all over his body, but perhaps because of the gloomy weather, the expression on his face looked cold.

"Mr. Zhang is good!" The people in the office greeted each other respectfully.

"Hello everyone, you guys are busy with your work!" The middle-aged man barely showed a smile and followed his footsteps into Wu Yusen's office.

Seeing this scene, the flat-headed young man frowned tightly. R1152
