Chapter 555 "Batman: Time to Go to War"

"Smart: Ghost Shadow" does provide a good reference object for everyone, so that people know that even if it is a low-cost film with a particularly small investment, it is possible to explode with a very strong force.

In this way, everyone also has higher expectations for some things from Li Chencan - his next few small-budget films, who knows if Lu Dao will have the ability of "Smart: Ghost Shadow"? But many people feel that Li Chencan always swears anyway, so there should be a great possibility of breaking out in his other films, there is no doubt about it.

Everyone's expectations for several other films are getting bigger and bigger, and then at the end of October, "Buried Alive" and "Chainsaw" will be released successively, and the release of these two movies is due to the success of "Smart: Ghost Shadow", which has increased the strength of the entire fireworks film company a lot, and also allowed them to have greater energy.

In terms of film scheduling, the current fireworks film company has indeed achieved an outbreak.

Wait until next year, after New Year's Day, before the Chinese New Year, "The Hangover" and "The Grim Reaper is Coming" will also be released successively, the first to be released is "The Hangover", after all, this is a quite funny movie, and there are still a lot of fans that can be attracted by then.

…… Once all these movies have been released, the rest will be much simpler. What awaits the fireworks film company will also be a new future, and the fireworks film company will gradually move towards glory.

"These are just a few of the recommended roles." On this day, Wei Ansheng brought Li Chencan a piece of information. This material is the cast of Batman: Time to Go to War.

Li Chencan handed over most of the casting tasks to the casting director, and he was mainly responsible for review, and the various rules of the entertainment industry here are relatively perfect, otherwise, if it was Li Chencan's previous life, the casting director of a crew would play a very important role and be able to make money - after all. The directors of the big roles are the gatekeepers, and the small roles still have to be decided by them, and there can be a huge chain of interests in the middle. will also form a hill in the crew.

But here, the casting director is relatively professional, and there is a relatively complete supervision system, and everyone also has a certain degree of industry consciousness. These are all good aspects.

Therefore. What is now in Li Chencan's hands is the recommended role, which is handed over to him for review.

He took a look at some of the main and secondary actors, looked at their previous resumes and works, and roughly inferred in his mind that most of them he would give the casting director a certain amount of freedom, but he would also veto a small part, and he couldn't listen to everyone else's, otherwise. If people put any nails in it at will, or there will be a lot of thorns. This is all unbearable for Li Chencan.

However, the main roles in the movie are all found by Li Chencan himself......

For example, Batman...... This must be found by Li Chencan himself anyway, and the ninja masters and the like in it have to be found by himself.

The ninja master is still looking for an Oriental...... Originally, the most developed oriental action movies were naturally China, but Li Chencan felt that using China here was a bit of a black feeling, so it was better to find a Japanese, and let the ninja master say that most of his martial arts came from China.

Anyway, there are a lot of Japanese actors who are action stand-ins in China, these people are very hard-working, and their technical and tactical level is also good, just find one.

This is what Li Chencan has always planned.

As for the choice of Batman...... In fact, in Li Chencan's heart, the most suitable candidate for Batman is Christian. Bel...... It's a pity that he also knows that this is impossible, after all, it is another world, so he can only find it among these actors.

Looking around, he found a man named Hank. James's actor.

This actor once won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and has good acting skills, but he started out as an action movie, this person is more self-disciplined, and even studied martial arts in China for more than half a year.

The martial arts of this plane are indeed much more powerful than those of another plane...... After all, there is no destruction here that everyone understands, and the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture is not comparable to that time and space, so many people return to China to learn martial arts...... But at that time Hank. James used to learn to perform martial arts instead of actual martial arts...... In fact, it takes time to learn the actual combat of national art in these years, if you can't learn home, it is better to bring an electric baton, and in the United States, it is better to bring a pistol! Therefore, there are really few people who learn actual combat national arts, only some martial arts that are derived from traditional national arts and carried forward similar to taekwondo look beautiful, and if you practice at home, you also have a certain amount of actual combat ability.

Such a person is more experienced, has acting skills, and has a foundation in action......

It couldn't be more suitable!

It is difficult for many action actors to have good acting skills, there is no doubt about this - after all, people's energy is limited, some people put more energy into action, and some people put more energy into acting...... Otherwise, you can think about it, in another time and space, martial arts superstars such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, their acting skills are okay, but it's not easy to say that they are particularly good......

Li Chencan immediately asked people to start contacting Hank. James, Hank. James was also a little surprised when he first got the news, and then he got into consideration.

It is true that a super blockbuster like "Batman" is also a good means for an actor to increase exposure and qualifications, but this film is ...... After all, it's a superhero movie without a comic book foundation, and it's really hard to say whether it can get any good box office and popularity. But then again, for Hank. For an actor like James, everyone will not ask for his commercial blockbusters to be unacceptable, they just hope that he will not make any bad movies...... But the question is, is it possible for Li Chencan to make a bad movie?

It shouldn't be possible!

After all, this is the director of "Saving Private Ryan", "Infernal Affairs", and "Truman's World", he shouldn't make bad movies, even if he is going to shoot superhero movies now, there shouldn't be bad movies.

In that case, then what is there to hesitate about?!

Hank. James also readily accepted Li Chencan's invitation, such an action star will always maintain his ability to eat, so he doesn't need to work out to go directly to work!

It's just that Li Chencan also knows that such a star ...... came to his own movie, and the appeal is still amazing, and it is estimated that his face can bring at least tens of millions of dollars at the North American box office...... Hollywood's film system is actually still a creative center, but the role of stars is getting bigger and bigger, and their salaries are getting higher and higher. James's salary, with a reduction of 15 million plus box office dividends, can't be taken at all......

Anyway, in the film "Batman: Time to War", the pure actor's salary will be paid about 30%, and then, the special effects production of the movie will cost about 20%, and at least 35% of the remaining funds will be used for publicity, and even such publicity figures are not much, and they may increase in the later stage, so only about 10%-15% of the remaining is pure production costs...... It's a staggering number, but that's actually it...... Hollywood and Chinese blockbusters are special effects, publicity, and actors occupy the lion's share.

Li Chencan was also helpless in the face of such a thing, so he could only use his best to support it and shoot his own movies according to the rules of the game in Hollywood.

Now his "Batman: Time to War" is filmed in the United States, basically all the actors are from the United States, at most, there are some Chinese in Hollywood who also have some roles in the movie, so this film will also become a Hollywood movie.

So this naturally needs to follow the rules of the game in Hollywood.

By the middle of October, all kinds of preparations for "Batman: Time to Go to War" are now in full swing, the actors and the like of the movie are ready, and as for the script or something, Li Chencan has already written all of them.

The next step is the official start of filming......

Now that the actors and everything have been confirmed and ready, the news of this movie has also begun to be released as soon as possible.

Soon, everyone in the United States who paid attention to Li Chencan knew one thing, Li Chencan was about to start filming a new movie!

In fact, everyone is not particularly surprised that he is going to start a new movie, after all, Li Chencan is originally a director, and everyone has seen and appreciated several movies he has shot anyway...... Everyone was surprised that Li Chencan's new movie was actually a superhero movie...... And it's a superhero movie with no comic book foundation!

This...... What is he going to do?

Without comics as a guarantee, how should superhero movies be made?

Li Chencan, is this guy whimsical, or is he really some sure?

Anyway, everyone is really puzzled by Li Chencan's approach now, I don't know what he intended to do, and I don't know why he suddenly wanted to shoot such a superhero movie that has no comics as a guarantee at all.

As a result, all kinds of suspicious voices and all kinds of incomprehension about Li Chencan appeared......

Anyway, it is very lively on the Internet now, and most people think that Li Chencan's movies will be good, but they will not understand his current approach, and everyone can't understand what Li Chencan's source is at all...... But no matter what they say, Li Chencan is preparing for this movie. (To be continued......)
