Chapter 401: The Propaganda Storm of "The Savage".
"I'm really tired, Richard, really tired." Sandra in a brown coat dressed as an ordinary middle-aged woman. Bullock had a tired and sad look on his face, and his voice was slightly crying, as if he had a great grievance in his heart: "I'm fed up with so many part-time jobs to support my family, I'm fed up with a chair against the washing machine just to make sure the door is locked, I'm fed up with asking Mrs. Snoopy to borrow a vacuum cleaner, I'm fed up and I can't be satisfied if I want to cook a good meal for my daughter, I'm really fed up." ”
"Do you think this is the life I envision? No, it's not. "John. Cusack said excitedly and indignantly, he was giving Sandra. Brock dictate.
If it's a simple dialogue, of course, it can be shot with multiple cameras, which can maximize the actor's performance. But this passage Julie. The scene where Baker's parents quarrel can't be filmed like this, for the simple reason that in this scene, Julie. Baker and her parents are both in a volatile relationship with long conversations, and it's no secret that it's often difficult for actors to get into the shoot, let alone keep all three of them in the groove for a long time.
Therefore, for such complex dialogue scenes, almost all of the film industry is currently filmed separately with a single camera, first shooting A and B with words, as long as they are not NG, they will keep shooting, and then they will be replaced, and B will be filmed, and when A is paired with words in the later stage, the shots of the dialogue party will be edited together.
For film shooting, this shooting method only needs one actor to enter the state at a time, and multiple effective shots can be shot at one time, which is very efficient, and will not cause unnecessary burden on editing, lighting, and movement scheduling.
"But. You have to understand. Sometimes. Sacrifices had to be made in order to do something right, and we all knew that private nursing home was the best fit for Daniel. "John. Cusack continued.
Sandra. Bullock looked at John excitedly. Cusack: "Maybe we should think more about this family, because we don't want to tidy up the yard and our daughter is looked down upon." ”
"Cut, perfect." Lin Yuquan shouted in admiration, and then got up and walked to Sandra, who breathed a long sigh of relief. Bullock: "Hi, Sandra. Your performance just now was so wonderful. ”
Who said Sandra. Brock can only play the vulgar comedy silly eldest sister, through guò's cooperation in the past few days, in Lin Yuquan's opinion, even if it is only about acting skills, Sandra. Bullock is also enough to be among the best of Hollywood actresses.
"Thank you, but it's not perfect, and there are some places where the feelings are not delivered properly." Sandra. Brock shook his head.
"I like your kind of nitpicking, how is your state, I want to shoot again." Lin Yuquan gave a thumbs up, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
"What a precious spirit. I'm just worried that the film will be scolded by countless people after it is released, in case Lin has a brilliant record of no mistakes. Just because my performance was not in place, and I ended up with Waterloo, what should I do, I can't afford to be responsible. "Sandra. Brock smiled brightly: "So in order not to be scolded by the dog's blood, continue to grit your teeth and slap!" ”
Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly, Sandra. Bullock is neither beautiful nor devilish, but her personality is very good, she is cheerful and lively by nature, not pretentious at all, and has a straightforwardness and calmness that is extremely rare among women, it is this kind of character that has won the hearts of countless audiences, and has become one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood, where there are so many beautiful women.
"OK, that's what you said, then we'll shoot a few more times."
"That's not good, I can't waste the film and delay everyone's time, once, just once, I'll perform well." Sandra. Brock said immediately.
"How can that work, presumably everyone is like me, and they don't want you to be scolded? John, Abigir, what do you say? ”
"Of course, I don't mind processing and shooting, as a man, who can bear to let our beautiful, gentle, generous and lovely Miss Bullock be scolded?"
After talking and laughing, the shooting continued because of the addition of Sandra. In addition to Bullock, he also has to shoot John alone. Cusack, Abigir. The filming of the two Bryslin was quite heavy, so it wasn't until more than 12 o'clock in the morning that the crew called it a day.
"It's hard work for everyone tonight, there is a supper waiting for you when you go back, and after supper, everyone will rest early." Lin Yuquan clapped his hands and said to everyone on the set.
"Okay, director." “OK。” "There's a supper, that's great, I'm a little hungry." The set suddenly became lively, and there was no exhaustion from the long shooting.
"Huh, it's finally over the filming of all the scenes, Lin, it's a very pleasant cooperation with you this time, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future." Sandra. Bullock said with a smile on his face, after finishing his role, just like today, no, Julianne who left yesterday. Moore, she's going back to Los Angeles soon.
"Well, I also hope to have such an opportunity, I can't be sure of this right now, but what I can be sure of is that Summit Entertainment will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate with you." Lin Yuquan said with a smile, after he became the owner of Summit Entertainment, Summit Entertainment has not yet started shooting comedy movies, for this kind of theme that is extremely easy to create a small cost and high box office in the local area, how could Summit Entertainment miss it, and shooting this kind of theme is obviously a great opportunity to fight Sandra. Bullock cooperated.
What's more, as he did to Sandra. Brock's view, Sandra. Bullock's acting skills are quite outstanding, but he can't only play a stupid big sister, in the case of the increasing scale of Summit Entertainment's production, the two sides will not lack opportunities for cooperation.
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to it." Sandra. Brock smiled slightly.
Since Lin Yuquan chose to give priority to the care of Sandra. Bullock et al.'s scenes, so that's two weeks, including Julianne. Moore, John. Cusack, Allen. Akin, Anthony. Edwards, Sandra. Major adult actors, including Bullock, left the crew one after another.
Then Lin Yuquan continued unhurriedly with Abigir. Bryslin, Karan. McOlife, Dakota. Fan Ning and others' scenes were filmed, and in "Heartbeat", they are the protagonists who occupy the core position.
Meanwhile. In these two weeks. "Fatal Bend 2" continues to maintain good box office momentum. First of all, in the first weekend of April from 4th to April 6th, in the face of the impact of new films such as "Fool", "Nimes Island", and "Horror Ruins", and in addition, faced with the competition of "Winning Blackjack", "Horton and Anonymous", "Superheroes" and other old films or films released at the same time, and finally received a beautiful drop of 41%, and collected another $8.96 million at the box office, second only to "Winning Blackjack", "Fool", "Nîmes Island", "Horton and Anonymous" four films, ranking fifth on the weekend box office list. The cumulative box office reached $28.7 million.
This is followed by the second weekend of April from April 11 to April 13. With Sony's horror film "Murder Night" and Fox Searchlight's "The Snake" occupying the top two spots in the weekend box office charts, "Fatal Bend 2" closed another $5.2 million with a steady drop of 42%, ranking sixth on the weekend box office charts, bringing the cumulative box office of "Deadly Bend 2" to $36.5 million.
Such a result is undoubtedly much beyond Lin Yuquan's guess, in Lin Yuquan's original guess, the North American box office of "Fatal Bend 2" should be more than $38 million, but now it seems that it is conservatively estimated that the North American box office of "Fatal Bend 2" will be more than $45 million in the end.
And so it goes. "Fatal Bend 2" will likely reach $90 million at the global box office, and it will be profitable at the box office alone. For Summit Entertainment, it is definitely a very gratifying thing.
Now, within Summit Entertainment, the expectation for "Fatal Bend 2" is to maintain a stable box office trend as much as possible in the next two weeks and win more box office, otherwise once the summer season officially opens, it will be difficult for "Fatal Bend 2" to show itself at the box office.
And naturally, with the advent of the summer file, the eyes of countless film production companies, media, and movie fans and audiences have fallen on the summer file.
As in previous years, this year's summer file is also lively, and two weeks later, on May 2, the first movie produced by Marvel Studios, with an investment of up to $140 million, adapted from the popular comics, starring Roth Downey Jr., "Iron Man" will be grandly released in 4105 theaters, officially kicking off the summer file.
Since then, by the end of July, new films will be released one after another, including Lin Yuquan's "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", "The Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" was released on June 20, although there are still 2 months before the release of the film, but Summit Entertainment has begun to promote it around the world.
Nowadays, the promotion of a film has become more and more important to the film, and if you look at all the films that are at the top box office of the year, although the quality of the film is crucial, the impact of film distribution and publicity on the box office of the film is obvious.
Although Lin Yuquan's "Hurricane Rescue" finally won $827 million worldwide, ranking fourth in the global box office list last year, setting a record for the highest single film box office among Chinese people, in fact, Summit Entertainment is both happy and deeply regretful about the box office results of "Hurricane Rescue", because, in terms of quality alone, the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" should be higher, and the reason for this is the release and publicity of the film.
First of all, in terms of distribution, although Summit Entertainment has a complete distribution channel, not only in North America, but also overseas, it also has a certain distribution capacity, but this distribution ability is far from being comparable with Sony, Paramount, Disney, the six major film companies, in fact, even in the six major Hollywood film companies, there is a gap in distribution capacity, such as Universal Films' distribution ability is slightly weaker in the big six.
Secondly, in terms of publicity, the total publicity and distribution cost of "Hurricane Rescue" is 50 million US dollars, of which the distribution cost is almost negligible, although such a huge publicity cost has been in the forefront of Hollywood films, but compared with blockbusters such as "Spider-Man 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" There is still a big gap, "Spider-Man 3" 70 million US dollars in publicity costs, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" 80 million US dollars in publicity costs, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" With $75 million in promotional expenses, which is significantly stronger in terms of distribution and publicity, it's no wonder that the final global box office of these three films will be higher than that of "Hurricane Rescue."
Of course, if "Hurricane Rescue" had been handed over to 20th Century Fox for overseas distribution like Lin Yuquan's previous films, the box office would definitely be higher than the current $827 million. But how much higher is completely unknown.
This is also the reason why Lin Yuquan did not give the film to 20th Century Fox for distribution. Handing it over to the other party can certainly take advantage of the other party's strong distribution ability. But it will also lose a lot of revenue, not only in terms of box office sharing, but also in terms of sharing with each other in terms of video DVD audio and video products, video on demand, and overseas TV rights.
And judging from the hot revenue of "Hurricane Rescue" in this regard, unless the global box office of "Hurricane Rescue" can reach more than $1.2 billion, it is better not to hand it over to the other party?
But can "Hurricane Rescue" reach $1.2 billion at the box office? No one knows, but it's not hard to imagine how difficult it is, and if nothing else, the genre of "Hurricane Rescue" urban action movies is a big obstacle. You must know that the reason why many movie fans and audiences go into the theater to watch the movie is because of the special effects of the movie, if the special effects of the film are not enough, then this part of the audience will definitely prefer to watch at home rather than go into the theater.
Since the end of last year, Summit Entertainment has successively established branch offices in Brazil in South America, Australia in Oceania, Russia in Northern Europe, and South Korea in Asia.
Moreover, the publicity cost of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape" has also increased significantly this time, increasing to $100 million on the basis of "Hurricane Rescue" from $50 million. Yes, $100 million. This publicity cost is higher than the production cost of Lin Yuquan's "Hurricane Rescue", and in this way, the production and promotion cost of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape Clan" has also reached an astonishing 270 million US dollars, which does not include Lin Yuquan's director's remuneration, if the cost is high, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape Clan" will have to reach a box office of more than 650 million US dollars to recover the cost, but in this regard, Summit Entertainment does not have any pressure, not to mention Lin Yuquan's glorious record in the past, and has seen the completed version of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Clan" The top management of Summit Entertainment is confident in the box office of the film.
Not only that, due to Lin Yuquan's previous agreement with Universal Pictures, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape" has greatly enhanced its distribution capacity with the help of Universal Pictures' strength in terms of distribution.
It is still unknown what the final result of such a change will be, but what is certain is that as Summit Entertainment began to go all out in publicity, a strong "Wild Story" storm quickly swept the world
In the computer screen of an apartment room, accompanied by the rumbling sound of the stereo, a huge, mountain-like monster roared violently, rampant in the primeval jungle where the ancient trees of Gundam could be seen everywhere, and there was nothing to stop it, as it advanced, the earth trembled violently, the tall ancient trees broke violently, and many trees were uprooted, for a while, the forest birds wailed, the wild beasts ran wildly, and the forest was a mess.
Suddenly, a group of apes appeared in front of the monster, although compared to the size of the monsters, the size of the apes is much thinner, but this is also compared with the monsters, in fact, the apes are several feet tall, holding the Optimus Pillar in their hands, similar to the iron rod of weapons, in the face of the raging monsters, the apes have no fear, the first ape man suddenly smashed the iron rod in his hand to the ground, suddenly, the hard ground is like a tender tofu, was broken by the iron rod lightly, and at the same time the earth under the feet of the ape man trembled suddenly.
"Roar", as if inspired by the ape-man's actions, the monster let out an even more ferocious howl, followed by a rampage towards the ape-man, destroying a qiē block along the way.
"Drink", the leader of the ape-man was not afraid, let out a deafening shout, then pulled out the iron rod, took a step, and raised the iron rod extremely violently to smash the monster's head, and then like Mars hitting the earth, both sides took a step back. Glancing at each other, an ape and a beast immediately let out a more ferocious roar, and then fought in one place, and for a while, this dense primeval jungle trembled continuously.
Before the war ended, suddenly, the picture of the fierce battle between the apes and beasts on the computer screen suddenly stopped, and was replaced by the words "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", "6.20", and "Global Release".
"Damn." A young man slammed his right hand into a fist on the computer desk, looking at the computer screen with fire-breathing eyes, Ni Mei, he was seeing the high * tide, and it was suddenly gone, is there such a toss? It's like that, suddenly leaking like a pillar.
"Damn,,,," the young man slammed the computer desk every time he shouted, shaking the dust on the computer desk that had not been cleaned for a long time.
seemed to have vented enough of the depression and anger in his heart, dozens of seconds later, the young man suddenly leaned back in his chair, sighed, looked at the indescribable resentment on the computer screen in front of him, and muttered to himself: "June 20th, today April 16th, there are still more than two months, more than two months, hey, why is Lin Yuquan's movie so torturous every time, and he doesn't let people live." ”
"Hey, no matter, watch it again, this special effect is so good." After a while, the young man slapped his thigh and skillfully operated the computer, and soon, only the rumbling and roaring sound from the zài computer stereo remained in the room.
This is the second wave of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape Clan" trailer released by Summit Entertainment, with the promotion of Summit Entertainment, for a while, the world's major video websites are full of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Clan" trailer, hundreds of millions of Internet users through the way of the Internet to see this super blockbuster that is destined to cause a sensation this summer, and then similar youth situations emerge in an endless stream around the world.
Later, the nest exploded on the Internet, and one post and blog post catharsitized the feelings of the owners, "Oh, it's great, it's so good-looking that people can't wait." "There are still two months to go, and I really hope that tomorrow will be the day when "Savage Story: Rise of the Apes" will be released." "This special effect, tsk, is simply invincible, compared to this special effect, "Spider-Man", "Pirates of the Caribbean" or something, is simply weak." "Wow, Lin Yuquan's movie special effects are getting more and more powerful, it's so good-looking, the super blockbuster really isn't covered."
All kinds of comments emerge in endlessly, and the blockbuster promotional film mainly looks at the special effects, which is true, and there is no doubt that the special effects of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" have completely conquered the hearts of countless fans and audiences.
In addition, the $100 million promotional cost of theatrical trailers, magazines, newspapers, subways, buses, bus stops, elevators, and posters for "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" began to gain momentum around the world, announcing its energy with an explosive effect. (To be continued......)
