Chapter 420: Movie Layout
Since they are all "family", then Xicheng is no longer polite.
Zhang Huimei and his party are still skiing at the resort, and he began to prepare to record the song in full swing.
For this, he had to ask the crew for leave.
Fortunately, there was an agreement in this regard, and Hee Sung could adjust his shooting time at any time.
Jeon Ki-shang was unhappy and had no choice, so he had to take advantage of this time to shoot other people's scenes.
Although in private, Zhang Huimei is a rather confused person, but there is no ambiguity at work at all.
After Xicheng's arrangement and dubbing was completed, she immediately devoted herself to the audition, and worked hard to sing her part perfectly.
The original singer of the song "No One Loves You More Than Me" is Wang Zheng, which is the first work she launched after signing a contract with Mizuki Tongchuang.
As a member of the Shuimu Nianhua group as a senior brother, Xiao Lu not only served as a producer and composer, but also sang a duet with Wang Zheng.
This song not only does not lose the freshness and elegance of Wang Zheng, but also combines the melancholy and affectionate nature of Shuimu Nianhua. The perfect harmony of Miao Jie, another member of Shuimu Nianhua, makes this song more three-dimensional, full, and tends to be perfect.
This song is sung by Hee Sung and Zhang Huimei, and there are no flaws in singing skills at all.
It's just that two people from different music countries still need a period of run-in if they want to express that kind of tacit understanding in their souls.
If there is no such thing as admitting relatives, no matter whether Zhang Huimei has professional ethics or not, she will not put too much effort into pursuing this extreme perfection.
As long as it meets the level of the public, there is a plausible explanation for both sides, after all, this is not the main one.
But now that the godfather has recognized it, that Zhang Huimei naturally can't treat this song with a contemptuous attitude, not only her own hard practice, but also encouraging the agent to make a good MV out.
Although Chen Zhenchuan is not a professional MV director, he understands the most popular trends in China better than Hee Sung, and knows what kind of things can touch the hearts of listeners more directly.
So. After his efforts, a beautiful and mixed with a touch of sadness came into being.
The MV is not difficult to shoot, and the special effects needed are also done, and the most important thing is that Xicheng and Zhang Huimei have problems.
"Why do I always feel guilty," Zhang Huimei has taken on the role of her sister, and now she is filming emotional scenes with her younger brother, how uncomfortable she thinks.
In fact, Hee Sung is not comfortable, but fortunately, his acting skills have a good level, and he has been filming recently, so it is easy to find the feeling.
It took a day and a half to shoot a MV. Zhang Huimei greatly appreciated Xicheng's acting skills, and basically this little boy took her to complete the shooting.
and said that when he went back, he would find the TV series filmed by his godbrother and watch it carefully.
I originally thought that after the MV was filmed, the recording would be very difficult, but who knew that the two powerful singers were not ambiguous at all, and it didn't take a few times to perfectly show the best artistic conception.
Zhang Huimei didn't have a lot of things at the beginning of the year, and the album would be released in the middle of the year or even in the second half of the year, so after recording this song, she played for several days before reluctantly leaving.
Duration. A very embarrassing thing happened.
That is, Zhang Huimei saw Xicheng's mother, and she was very embarrassed to call Sister Cai Zhen'er, because Cai Zhen'er looked about the same age as her, and she was more pure.
Fortunately, communication between them is a big problem. So the embarrassment is not strict.
In fact, Cai Zhener likes Zhang Huimei a lot, no matter what her identity is, this mother who loves her son like her life, likes a person who likes her son.
Not to mention. With Zhang Huimei's sister, Xicheng will have someone to take care of when he goes to Taipei in the future.
Time is stepping into February.
After sending Zhang Huimei and her party away, Xicheng received a fax from HADES (USA) Company.
One of his main layouts this year. The film "Juno" was officially put into filming.
This movie about a minor pregnancy is similar to "The King's Man", which tells about the love of a man.
Hee-sung seems to be leaning towards such taboo subjects.
However, like "The King's Man", this movie is also very successful, and it is the genre that is so successful that it makes countless peers blush.
In terms of reputation,
When Juno was released, it received a lot of very positive reviews from critics. According to 204 reviews of Rotten Tomatoes, 94% of critics gave the film positive reviews, making it the site's best film of '07. According to the statistics of 38 review articles on Metacritic, the average score of the film is 81 points (the maximum 100 points).
The famous Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Murphy. Albert gave the film four stars (out of four stars) and called it "the best film of the year...... There is no show this year than Allen. Is Peggy's Juno better? I don't think so. ”
Later, he also selected the film as his best film of the year.
In 2008, Empire magazine conducted the "500 Best Films of All Time" selection, and the film ranked 463rd. McGuff was also ranked No. 56 on Empire's list of the 100 most outstanding screen characters of all time. Paste Magazine ranked the film 15th among the 50 best films of the decade 2000-2009, and in June 2010, Entertainment Weekly ranked Juno as one of the 100 best films of the last 20 years.
In addition, "Juno" was nominated for Best Picture, Director, Actress, and Original Screenplay in the 80th Academy Awards, and finally won the Original Screenplay Award.
In terms of economic benefits......
In fact, economic interests are what Xicheng pursues.
It can be said that when he decided to film this film, he smelled of copper all over his body.
At that time, "Juno," which was released in 11 theaters in New York and Los Angeles, grossed $420,000,113 in its first weekend, averaging $60,000 and $16 per screen.
When "Juno" became Fox Searchlight's first film to grossing more than $100 million at the box office, the company's president, Peter Brown, became the company's president. "This is an amazing feat for all of us, the film has exceeded all of our expectations, we know it has a lot of potential, and it resonates strongly with audiences across the country," Peter Rice said. ”
In the end, the film grossed $143,495,265 in the United States. Released in other countries, it grossed $87,916,319 at the box office, for a total of $231,411,584 worldwide.
Of course, in this time and space, the box office of "Juno" is definitely more than that.
Because Xicheng is willing to invest, he invested 1.5 million US dollars more than the original work, and these funds are all sharp weapons whether they are counted as shooting costs, or used for publicity, and the number of public relations movie theaters.
Even if there is only a box office of 230 million US dollars, if Xicheng can get a 40% share of the box office. Then this movie will bring him 80 billion won.
Even if it is a little less, he can get at least 50 billion harvests from this play.
Last year, he invested in two oversold movies - "The King's Man" and "Monster of the Han River", and a total of less than 50 billion yuan was earned.
It can be seen from this that there is a huge gap between the investment-to-return ratio between investing in American films and investing in European and American films.
Despite the Hollywood movie slump, the North American film market is the real big pie.
It's a pity that no one can get in on the foot.
If it weren't for the memory of otaku, it would be even more difficult for Hee Sung to make money in the North American film market.
This "Juno" is enough to start the signature of Hades Films. In the future, they will receive more excellent scripts, and more directors and actors will be willing to work with them.
There is also "That Man Came from Earth", a short science fiction novel that has been processed by Hee Sung. It's already the same as the movie in the otaku's memory.
In fact, this movie can't make much money, after all, many people can't understand it.
However, Hee Sung can't lose much money, because tens of thousands of dollars can make this movie, in the memory of otaku. The investment in this film is 10,000 dollars.
Invite a few extras, a broken house, a few people around. Say a few words, and this movie will be made.
And he also plans to increase the publicity of this movie, spend money to invite more influential film critics and film critics to build momentum for this movie, and when the time comes, he may not be able to make a lot of money with the title of the first alternative science fiction movie in history.
In addition, in the memory of the otaku to Hee Cheng, there was a more distinctive movie this year.
The film, called "Once," was directed by John Brown. Choreographed by Carney. The film tells the story of a flower girl who is attracted to the music of a street performer and begins a heart-wrenching romance. Out of their love for music, they became more and more acquainted and formed a band, which was finally affirmed by professionals.
During filming, a group of musicians known as "Timmy" left the cast due to the bankruptcy of South Park Films, which originally invested in the film, and the cast and director were clearly affected.
This opportunity provided an opportunity for Hee Sung to intervene, and Hee Sung could buy the film company at a very small price.
The film cost $150,000 and grossed more than $10 million at the North American box office.
Although 10 million US dollars is only equivalent to 10 billion won, and it may not even be 5 billion won when it is distributed to investors, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
5 billion won is enough for Hee to pay rent, utilities, and bills.
His total salary for filming "Witch Youxi" is less than 800 million.
What's more, the film received rave reviews and was nominated at several awards ceremonies, with a total of dozens of times.
After making these three movies, Hades can be described as fame and fortune.
Even if it is still 108,000 miles away from those movie predators, it can at least be called a well-known third-rate film company.
