After entering November, it is getting closer and closer to Hollywood's awards season and the traditional Thanksgiving Christmas file, and among the films released are not only literary films that go straight to the awards, but also mainstream commercial films have begun to be released.

At a time when traditional forces such as Paramount, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century Fox are getting closer and closer to the distribution label route, various companies under the Disney Group, including Disney Pictures and Touchstone Pictures, have maintained a high film output.

This schedule is no exception, with Disney releasing the first major commercial production of the schedule, "Hurricane Rescue," in early November, after the release of a series of horror genre films produced by Jenkins Films in September and October.

Traditional action movies have long since declined, and such a film, which cost only $25 million, doesn't seem to be anything special, especially compared to the big-selling action movies, the protagonist's evil opponent is too weak, so weak that it doesn't pose a threat at all, and is almost solved by the protagonist as lightly as chopping melons and vegetables.

However, the film firmly captures the most touching family affection in North America and even in the world, and although there will not be such a skilled father in reality, the great understanding of fatherly love is fully revealed.

A father who was enraged by human traffickers did not hesitate to pay any price in order to rescue his kidnapped daughter. slaughtered one bad guy after another with a knife and chopping garlic.

The audience will not pour out any humanitarian pity, and completely forget that these slaughtered people also have wives and children, and when the agent's father is full of anger and fires three shots in a row as if he were a businessman who sells the women auctioned purely as breadwinners, it will only make people feel happy!

Even though it's an action movie, PG-13's rating and the themes expressed in the film make it perfect for the whole family to watch, especially teenage girls and their fathers.

In the words of the Los Angeles Times after the premiere, this is a film that is suitable and must be shown to all American high school students.

Although the film was not very popular with critics, it sparked a fairly lively discussion among the public. Especially on several well-known film forums. Everywhere you look, you can see the sensual comments of ordinary viewers about this film.

"This story tells us that young girls don't get into the car of handsome guys."

"The film is very compact and exciting, there is no nonsense, and the pure father-daughter love is touching."

"Daddy...... What an amazing place for the daughters is that dad is. ”

"The story is gripping. The pace is tight. This kind of short and concise action movie is really good. ”

"A dad who gave birth to a little beauty. Bodyguards, agents, detectives, kickboxing, high-speed obstacle driving, medical aid, drug rehabilitation, and prostitution are required. Female accosting, bargaining, false testimony, car theft and other skills ......"

Of course, some people can't help but be interested in Scarlett, who plays the daughter? Johnson expressed confusion.

"The sturdy Black Widow in "Captain America" has become a weak girl who needs to be saved. It always feels weird. ”

However, now Black Widow is just a cameo role in the Marvel movie, and it has not yet penetrated into the hearts of the people, and this impact is not too big.

Compared with Disney's total investment of only more than $50 million, the film's first week box office was a great success, with $41.3 million in more than 3,850 theaters in three days over the weekend, and the film's North American box office exceeded $80 million in just ten days, and from the box office trend, the final North American box office is even expected to exceed $150 million.

This has to be said to be a small box office miracle now that traditional action movies are in decline.

"So, the most touching thing is still a girl."

Sitting in the car bound for San Francisco, Ryan and Charlize beside him discussed the movie that was released some time ago, "A beautiful girl can overturn a city and start a war." ”

"You're not twenty-six yet, are you?"

Charlize tilted his head and looked at him with strange eyes, "Is there a Lolita complex now?" ”

"Or ......," a dangerous glint flashed in the South African diamond's eyes, "which girl do you have a crush on?" ”

"Hey, dear." Ryan spread his hands dissatisfied, "I just felt it." ”

"I know." Charlize deliberately showed a clear look, "You're going to be a father, there will definitely be a lot of feelings." ”

After returning to Los Angeles from Paris, Charlize occasionally brought up the topic although he was not as sharp as Natalie's appearance, and Ryan could only try to reassure him that people are not puppets after all, and the human heart is also the most difficult thing in the world to measure.

The black Rolls-Royce turns around San Francisco Bay and finally stops in front of the Lightman Center for Digital Art, where the famous Industrial Light & Magic is located.

Ryan is influenced by Michael? After two months of hard work, the special effects team of Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime succeeded in creating the same scale and miniature models of Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime.

"Hi Michael."

As soon as he walked into the huge factory of Industrial Light & Magic, Ryan saw Michael standing in front of several model machines. Bei and the others, after greeting the people who greeted them one by one, and George? Lucas gave a gentle hug.

"George, you look a lot fatter."

"Because I don't have to worry about whether the movie will sell well." George? Lucas beckoned to Charlize on the other side, "Hi Charlie, I heard that your costumes and sweets are very popular. ”

"It's fine." Charlize in George? Lucas reached over and shook it gently.

She knew her place very well, but she just took Ryan to the side and rarely spoke.

"This is the final sample that synthesizes Hasbro's opinions."

The crowd walked under the giant machine qì human model, Michael? Bei made a brief introduction. "If you don't object, Ryan, the future of shooting, CG production, and derivative production will all use these models as a basic template."

Although it was the first time he saw the real thing, the electronic image of the Autobots and Decepticons had already been passed on to him, and Ryan agreed to the designs, and in general, there was not much difference from the styling of his previous life, such as Bumblebee with puppy eyes and Optimus Prime dominated by blue and red.

In other words. Ruining some people's childhood memories is a certainty.

But. Changing the image in the cartoon is a necessary choice, the times are changing, and the movie will definitely change with it.

"We've agreed on the Transformers battle scene."

The head of ILM, Levine? Brightman talked about the progress of the work on special effects. "After the machine qì man finished the final computer design. The work on the special effects side can begin. We will synchronize with the filming of the film, and some members of the special effects team will also be involved in the filming of the film. ”

Nodding. Ryan looked at Michael again? Bei, "How did I think about it last time?" ”

"I've communicated with Livin." Michael? Bey and other Livin on the other side? Brightman nodded, and said, "Some of the scenes of the film are made using IMAX3D technology, which will definitely enhance the visual impact, but the production cost of the film will definitely exceed 150 million US dollars." ”

He said cautiously, "Ryan, I need at least $20 million." ”

"None of this is a problem." Ryan waved his hand, "There will be advertisers who will pay for us." ”

This is not an exaggeration at all, the film has signed many sponsorship contracts during the preparation period, and advertisers have exceeded 20 in total, ranging from beer, mobile phones, beverages, and chewing gum to computers, cars, trucks, and department stores.

In particular, the car people, who are the absolute protagonists, can be called the focus of competition for car manufacturers.

In the end, GM spent $20 million in advertising to package Ironskin, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and two other crazy machine Qì people, involving several brands such as Chevrolet, and will also provide the crew with 300 GM old cars and shell cars for filming.

Lamborghini received sponsorship contracts from Jazz and several other machines, and also provided models of sports cars to destroy, for which it also paid $10 million in advertising.

In addition, a small business jet has been added to the Crazy Qì Man, and Gulfstream has offered an $8 million sponsorship contract, which the Autobot studio will certainly not refuse.

AS EBAY AND GOOGLE, WHICH WILL APPEAR FREQUENTLY IN THE FILM, THE STUDIO ALSO RECEIVED A TOTAL OF $6 MILLION IN ADVERTISING MONEY FROM THEM.

In fact, the film has not yet started filming, and with the name of the commercial production led by Ryan, the "Autobots" studio has recovered nearly $60 million in terms of advertising alone, and Disney, as an independent investor, is not under much pressure, and it is not difficult to get another $20 million.

What's more, there are new sponsorship contracts and pre-sale negotiations going on.

Of course, Ryan repeatedly reminded Michael? Bei should pay attention to the ways and means of advertising placement, and not be as simple, rough and direct as the last few parts of the previous life.

In other words, it's a visually striking advertising campaign, with the Autobots and Decepticons being the main focus of the film's monetization.

When leaving the huge factory, Michael? Bella gave Ryan a kick and fell to the back of the line with him, obviously having something to say.

"Ryan, can I make a request?"

Compared to before, after the failure of "Escape from Clone Island", Bang Bei is obviously much more modest, "Regarding the actors. ”

Ryan made a gesture of please.

"I've seen Zach? Efron and Alessandra? Ambrosio's audition. ”

Michael? Bey talked about the tentative hero and heroine of the film, "I don't think Zach? Efron is suitable for the actor, his height is much shorter than Ambrosio, and his aura in the camera is too weak, completely Alessandra? Ambrosio suppressed. ”

"Where's your building?" Ryan thought about it for a moment, Zach? Efron was a little star in his previous life, and in this life he is just a small actor signed by Disney, so he has almost no impression.

"Change to a more appealing actor." (To be continued......)
