"China Film Group would like to invite director Rosenberg to lead the entire crew to our premiere next summer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Mr. Wang said sincerely, "If you can, please consider putting the world premiere of "Transformers" on the other side of the Pacific." ”

Before deciding to invest in this project, China Film Group has done a targeted survey in China, the post-80s generation has grown up, and they also have a certain degree of economic independence, they are very keen on various memories of their childhood, Transformers is one of the hot topics, and even there are various Transformers fan associations in China, which means huge market potential.

There is also the director, originally China Film Group was a little worried about the style of "The Dark Knight", and it was not unshaken when it was introduced, but Duke? The appeal of the name Rosenberg in China is amazing, and "The Dark Knight" broke the domestic box office record of "Titanic" for nearly ten years in one fell swoop, becoming the overall domestic box office champion on record.

China Film Group also understands it thoroughly, Duke? Rosenberg's film is very much in line with the appetite of its own audience.

Instead of answering immediately, Duke looked at Jamie? Johnson, seeing that the other party nodded slightly, he roughly understood in his heart.

Warner Bros. has a close cooperation with China Film Group in many aspects such as theaters, and the big hit of "The Dark Knight" on the opposite side also proves the unlimited potential of that market, and they obviously don't want to miss the opportunity to promote this promotional film and Warner Bros.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Duke vs. Jamie? Johnson said, "Warner Bros. is the distributor of the film, so let's do what you say." ”

If you want to find a partner in the opposite market with huge potential, China Film Group is undoubtedly the best choice.

Since they invest in the film and send out the premiere invitation, it will certainly not be a problem to review the script and pass the film. Moreover, in all of Duke's films, there is nothing aimed at or alluded to on the other side, except for some great Americanism, there is basically no sensitive content.

Of course, all the mainstream Hollywood commercial masterpieces. It's all very much American.

If you can't even accept this, then the other side will not introduce Hollywood movies.

The specific matter will naturally be resolved through negotiation between Warner Bros. and China Film Group, and send away Mr. Wang and Jamie? Johnson, Duke's energy is back to the Transformers.

He kept a large Optimus Prime model and Megatron model on his desk, a limited edition look from the 80s that could be disassembled and transformed. Like a child who has been given a toy, Duke spent an afternoon dismantling, transforming, and recombining Optimus Prime and Megatron......

There is only one purpose for this, Transformers is not only a popcorn movie, but also a teen popcorn. Duke's mentality is too calm and aging, and in this way, he wants to find the feeling of touching Transformers as a teenager.

To make this film, he, as a director, had to maintain a young enough mentality.

At the same time, as he said, remember that Transformers are a bunch of alien intelligent machine lifeforms, not cold and clumsy robots.

He had to think about how to make Transformers these virtual characters in the early planning. blends into the film's relatively realistic world, and gives Transformers real humanity, whether it's the Decepticons. Or the Autobots, they are just like humans, they will have their own thoughts and personalities.

After installing the Optimus Prime model, Duke's eyes fell on the pedestal, and the sentence on it was undoubtedly the starting point of all Optimus Prime's character and beliefs - freedom and rights to all beings!

According to the script outline he set, Optimus Prime is a gentle and kind leader. At the same time, he has a cold and ruthless side, in order to maintain the belief in his heart. He can betray his own race and become a 'robot traitor', and he can sacrifice Autobot members if necessary. and even his own life.

Freedom and the right to all living beings are also universal values, and no matter what countries around the world do, this slogan is always shouted loudly, and Optimus Prime has a strong stance on what he does.

Movies are Duke's greatest passion, and Transformers is extraordinary, and that's where his dreams are.

How many children have fantasized about transforming and setting off with Optimus Prime; How many teenagers imagine flying in the sky with Megatron; How many people have never forgotten the good memories of their childhood......

Transformers have even influenced the lives of many people.

Although, to some extent, all directors who make the childhood dream films of a generation will be the culprits who destroy their childhood memories, Duke is willing to bear this crime for the sake of his dreams and large commercial gains.

On July 10, 2007, Warner Bros. and Hasbro officially announced the establishment of "Transformers", and Duke's new film press conference had just been held, and this topic became a hot topic of discussion among the media and fans.

"The Dark Knight" has not yet been released, and Duke has started a new project, which is not surprising to the media and Hollywood, after all, he has been making films at a rate of one a year in recent years.

But the media was surprised by Duke's choice of subject matter and genre.

The entertainment section of the Washington Post said that it was completely incomprehensible to Duke's choice, believing that he had just made a very in-depth film and that he should continue in this direction.

Kenneth? Turan pointed out in a column in the Los Angeles Times that Duke was ready to return to his old ways.

However, on the Internet, some Transformers fans are still very worried, worried that Duke will darken Optimus Prime and then find himself, which will be too scary for Transformers.

Of course, Duke would definitely not use a darkened style to make a teen-oriented film like "Transformers".

To be exact, a single use of that extremely dark style is sufficient.

In addition, if you want to complete a project as large as "Transformers" in a year, the support of the military is also indispensable.

Duke has already made contact with the Pentagon.

"With so much shooting experience, I still have a good understanding of some of the procedures in the military."

After getting a reply that the Pentagon would be involved, Duke said to Tina? "I'm still a little worried, though, because many of the troops have been sent out to deal with the terrorists and may not have time to take care of us - after all, 'fighting' is what the military really cares about." ”

Tina? Fei quietly rolled her eyes, "I believe the GIs are more willing to fight aliens." ”

After all, the audience watching the film is human, and the North American market is the heaviest, and American GIs will still play a very important role in all "Transformers" movies.

However, the plot where a team of American GIs can easily handle a Decepticon will not appear.

But according to the setting of the script, machine lifeforms are also lifeforms, including Optimus Prime and Megatron, which are indeed very powerful, but they are not invincible and unkillable, they will also be hurt by human heavy weapons, and even consecutive hits will hang up.

With the official establishment of "Transformers", except Tina? Faye succeeded Charles? Rowan's position, the members of the Duke team have returned, and they have begun to prepare for this super commercial blockbuster that will cost $200 million to produce alone.

The amount of funding is quite large, and commercial sponsorship is another priority, in addition to the pre-sale and platter programs that have addressed most of the funding sources.

When the crew announced a series of Autobots and Decepticons at the investment conference held, as well as the approximate appearance scene and time, most of the Autobots became fat in the eyes of car manufacturers.

GM packed Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Ironskin, Hummer picked the ambulance, Lamborghini got the Jazz, and Gulfstream snatched the decepticons......

In addition to cars and airplanes, manufacturers such as Burger King, Coca-Cola, Le Cordon Bleu, Nokia and Lenovo from across the Pacific will appear in the film.

If nothing else, the scale of the product placement of this "Transformers" will set a new record in Hollywood.

But the protagonists are in modern society, and it is natural for these brands to appear in life, and Duke is not opposed to placing ads in the film, but he will not make that particularly blunt placement.

If GM's filming cars and the promotion of various brands are included, the product placement alone would save nearly $40 million in expenses.

The support from the Pentagon can also save a lot of costs for the crew, but the crew must take care of the military, and the film will demonstrate various advanced equipment of the US military, which is actually a major attraction.

Most of the members of the Decepticons, Duke was left to the Pentagon, for example, the Red Spider would be an F-22 Raptor, and the Noise would be an improved version of the M1A2 main tank......

After all, the support given by the Pentagon is indeed very strong, and the plan they put forward even exceeds Duke's expectations.

The crew can go to Holloman, Cortland and Edwards Air Force Bases, as well as the Pentagon and White Sands missile ranges, to work with different branches of the military, and to "borrow" high-end weapons that are not usually seen during filming, from the CV-22 tiltrotor and F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft to the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, the C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft and the US Air Force's ace F-22 Raptor.

And as long as Duke needs it, the crew can board an active aircraft carrier to shoot.

With the outbreak of those wars on terror, the enlistment rate of the U.S. military has dropped to the lowest point in history, just like the original "Death Island" and "Independence Day", the military has not without the idea of using "Transformers" to promote conscription.

Like "Top Gun", movies have always been excellent recruitment propaganda films. (To be continued)
