Chapter 264: The Lion on the Great Wall

Shao Yingying did not set a time limit for Nolan, nor did he stipulate when he must become the director of the latest episode of "007", but very loosely handed over everything to Nolan to be in charge, he knew that Nolan was a director who could control the overall situation, and that was enough.

After finishing Nolan's business, Shao Yingying returned to the publicity plan, not only did he have to run all over the United States and Canada in the past two days to participate in the promotion, but also accepted the media interview alone without the help of a translator for the first time.

When everything was done, there was good news in China again, Teng Huatao's "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" won the box office of 186 million in the first week with a total investment of just 10 million in production, publicity, etc.!

Teng Huatao is not a director who is good at writing homework on the big screen, everyone knows that his territory is a small screen, but what I didn't expect is that the hero Huayi, a director who is good at playing on the small screen, can make such great achievements when he moves to the big screen under the situation that the company is under great pressure...... In the future, which director of a movie will dare to open his mouth and say that he has made money when he gets a box office of more than 50 million?

So, what is the situation of "33 Days of Broken Love" in history?

There is a very interesting thing here, that is, "33 Days of Broken Love" was released when it was surrounded by several Hollywood blockbusters. There are "The Adventures of Tintin", "Iron Fist" and other movies that have specially found a market audience, and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was released just in time for the half-price day last Tuesday, but at that time, the box office of the premiere of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was 17 million. This is a shocking box office of 17 million on a half-price day, if it is calculated at full price, even if there is a certain degree of discount shrinkage, there is no problem at all with 30 million!

A movie with an investment of 10 million has won such a result, what can you say but a miracle? What's more, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" broke up "Iron Fist", a movie that has been fried by the Hollywood media, in the mainland with its first-week results, and the Hollywood media even thought that this movie was the most promising special effects film competing for the Oscars.

However, I have to say that "Iron Fist" is really quite back. Even if it was overturned by "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" in the mainland, the realm of Xiangjiang that admires foreign culture should always show some domineering swept by Hollywood blockbusters, right? Not really! In the Xiangjiang market, a movie called "The Girl We Chased in Those Years" still dried up the metal heavy taste with a small freshness. That's right, the two small freshness of the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are more competitive than countless commercial blockbusters, have crushed the same "Iron Fist" in the two markets.

The box office of 186 million in the first week really excited Shao Yingying, this is not counting the places where DVDs and advertising placements can smooth out investment, if these two things are counted. Even Teng Huatao's lack of trust on the big screen can make "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" a zero-cost movie. In other words, under the operation of the hero Huayi, all the box office is earned!

At the same time, the good news continues, the second season of the American drama "The Walking Dead" has started, and the lack of "The Walking Dead" directed by Shao Yingying has not lost much viewership, and STARZ began to contact MGM to renew the third season just after the first episode of the TV series, because this TV series has not shrunk in terms of viewership. Even in the demographic of 18-49, there was a 4.1% increase in new customer subscriptions.

This will have to be talked to Andrew Lincoln, if the movie becomes popular in Hollywood. What if Andrew doesn't want to return to the small screen? What's more, there is a salary increase here, after all, Andrew Lincoln has led the resident actor in "The Walking Dead" to become an influential small screen star in the United States after the second season aired, which will continue according to the previous salary, I am afraid that what happened to "The Big Bang Theory" will have to be repeated at MGM.

Shao Yingying gathered all the leading actors of "The Walking Dead" together, and the salary increase was definitely going to increase, this matter can be handled by Harry Sloan, what he wants to do is to let Andrew continue to appear in the third season, and stabilize all the popular supporting roles in the TV series.

"Don't worry, I will slowly arrange the opportunity to be on the big screen like Andrew, and I promise that as long as there is a suitable role in MGM's movies in the future, you must be on it." This is the condition that Shao Yingying promised to this group of resident characters, and everyone on the small screen in Hollywood hopes to develop on the big screen, which is a trend, although this trend has been reversed in the years of "House of Cards" and "True Detective", at least not yet.

"Andrew, I hope you can continue to star in "The Walking Dead" until the end of the whole TV series, this is your audience, in addition, I can promise you that our cooperation will not stop, and when this drama is finished, there will definitely be a sequel to the "Source Code" series, and how the main god chooses the successor must be clear to the audience, and when the time comes, you are likely to become the male pig's foot of the movie."

This group of people was picked up by Shao Yingying, not to mention that Andrew Lincoln and Shao Yingying's personal relationship was originally good, and in this case, coupled with Shao Yingying's promise and a film contract that can be signed at any time, Andrew's starring position has finally been completely stabilized.

In fact, Shao Yingying can bring this group of people together and start filming the third season immediately, so that he doesn't have to spend so many resources to have the third season in hand, but the result of this is to chill all the actors who follow him, these people are no longer unknown people who can be squeezed casually.

Handle everything well, Shao Yingying ushered in his last battle!

At nine o'clock in the morning in mid-October, Hollywood's TCL Huaxia Grand Theater ushered in batches of media people, almost all of whom took their guys at the door to shoot the scene of their peers entering, because after entering the theater. These things have to be left outside, and now if you don't shoot them, you will lose the spectacular scene of many media admissions.

"How green carpet?" The media person who had just stepped out of the car looked at the passage he was going to pass before entering the theater, and suddenly felt a little ...... I don't know what to do.

In the past, media people went to shoot awards ceremonies and fashion events, and they saw the red carpet, and walking the red carpet has become a symbol of stars. If you're a little coffee, you really don't have that qualification. However, when celebrities walk the red carpet, where are the media people? Shooting with guys outside of the red carpet, that's what they do. But none of the media people present today understood what was going on, even if Shao Yingying wanted to make the test screening of his movie a little grander, why don't you make a red carpet, what's the matter with making a green carpet?

These media people didn't think much about it, and habitually got out of the car and walked to both sides of the carpet. In the end, there were more and more media people piled up at the door, and they couldn't stand still before they chose to enter the theater.

In the theater, even if the media don't have the opportunity in their hands, they are still gearing up one by one. The hatred between them and Shao Yingying is definitely not something that can be explained in one or two sentences, it basically belongs to the fact that they have to be pinched when they meet, and they will never stop if they don't completely stink one party.

Moments later, Shao Yingying and Harry Sloan stepped into the theater. From the moment the two of them walked through the door. The position at the door of the theater was suddenly covered by a hateful gaze, and all the media people looked at him as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Shao Yingying stood at the door and said fearlessly: "Don't worry, since it's a test screening, the Q&A session after the test screening will definitely be there, don't worry, you can ask whatever you want today, I will never leave after the movie, I know everything, I have nothing to say." ”

The meaning of this is too clear. It is to tell all media people to stop and chatter when the movie is over.

Harry Sloan and Shao Hero took their seats in the second row in an almost full auditorium. Leaning his neck and looking at the big screen very uncomfortably, at that time, Harry Sloan said: "Shao, although there are no more members of the board of directors who have shares, but after all, it is also the company's senior management, at this time, is it a bit inappropriate for you to put these company executives and media people together for a test screening?" If you give an answer that is not satisfactory to our senior management during the question session, will it cause ......?"

Shao Yingying turned his head and glanced at old Harry and said, "Harry, why didn't you remind me at that time?" ”

"I thought it was divided into two theaters, but in the same theater, or at the same time, we took two copies, one to the theater and one to test the screening within the company, I didn't expect you to be in one theater." Harry explained eagerly.

Shao Yingying smiled, saw Harry's anxious appearance and said: "I'm joking with you, don't worry, since I arrange it like this, I naturally have my reasons, our company has a lot of problems, these problems are not only problems in the direction of creation, but also some are in the management, and we just happened to do this together today." ”

Swish.

The originally bright theater became dim after the lights were turned off, and in the dimness, Shao Yingying and the media people who were talking in private shut up at the same time, and everyone looked up at the big screen.

Today, it is Shao Yingying's "Or Become a God? The test screening of "Die or Die", media people have to catch enough points in the movie to criticize Shao Yingying, and only when they catch this point can they make a fuss in the final battle.

When the screen lit up again, strings of green characters began to float on the screen, and between the green characters and a dark universe, Shao Yingying and Fan Yiyi stood together.

This is the last shot in "Super Body", this shot was shot in advance when "Super Body" was filmed, but it was edited into a new movie.

"It's not over yet, it's just the beginning."

When Shao Yingying looked at Fan Yiyi's eyes and said this, the unfinished words in the finale of "Super Body" finally had an answer, but at this time, the two of them looked up into the distance.

The special effects camera appeared, and the perspective that advanced with the direction they were looking at seemed to rush forward at a very fast speed, and gradually, when the surrounding planets skimmed their sight, every qi qi qi became light and shadow, as if someone was flying through the universe at a very fast speed.

In the dark universe on the big screen, the white fog held up a god platform, and the god wearing a white robe and holding a scepter in the center of the god platform stood proudly dozens of times larger than the surrounding planets.

In the contrast between motion and still shots, the appearance of the god and the god has a suddenness, and the contrast between the huge god and the extremely small planets around it can create the majesty of the god.

At this point, God said to the empty universe, "I, about to die." ”

One sentence made the media people in the entire theater begin to quickly write down the key points, God represents omniscience, omnipotence and immortality in people's hearts, you Shao Yingying's movie is already perverse at the beginning, so no matter how it is arranged, it will be criticized. Media people began to get excited, and this time Shao Yingying was completely planted.

"My candidates, you are the ones who have been chosen to succeed me in my position, and if you want to become the supreme god, it is not a wish that can be fulfilled by passing the previous tests, and only one of you can reach the end. I'm sorry, but all your knowledge of this world will be taken back and you will return to Earth as ordinary people, and the one who will survive will be my successor. ”

The camera swept around the god's position on the god platform, and there were black shadows standing on the god platform full of ancient atmosphere, until Shao Yingying and Fan Yiyi were here, and they could see that they were two people who were dressed very modernly.

"Go back, go back, I only need a successor, this is my destiny, and it is also your destiny."

One after another meteors transformed from the inheritors rushed towards the earth with tail fires, at this time, the identities of all the inheritors were in a state of concealment, but the media people who were present to watch the movie had another question in their minds, God, why should the successor be selected by killing to inherit the interrogation? Shouldn't God be good? Shouldn't it be fraternal?

The meteors in the shot fell into the earth one after another, and various monuments appeared on the screen, until the meteors of Shao Yingying and Fan Yiyi flew over the Great Wall, and the camera was fixed on the beacon tower of the Great Wall, where a lion was standing......

Roar!

When the roar of the lion resting on the beacon with its forepaws came out, the close-up was frozen, and the MGM logo appeared, the lion on the Great Wall.

At this moment, all media people have not yet been fully immersed in the plot, but MGM's belonging has been shown in the new LOGO, which not only represents that the Chinese have begun to grab the cake in Hollywood, but also represents that they have their own territory.

This is a red flag.

"Shao, why do I feel that the atmosphere around me is a little wrong?"

"That's because the movie hasn't started yet, and I promise that after the movie starts, all your uncomfortable atmosphere will disappear, and you won't have time to talk to me."

Shao Yingying sat in the cinema with extreme confidence and said this. (To be continued......)
