Maybe Quentin? Tastino will still bully Hitler's big hooligan in the future, but a movie like "Kill Bill" will certainly not become mainstream, Charlize? Theron's joining has attracted some non-cult film lovers to the theater, but a considerable number of these people have difficulty holding on to the end of the film......

A niche film is a niche film, and it will not change the nature of the limited audience just because a big-name actor or director joins.

"No mainstream audience would approve of this film, and it's one of the most violent films ever made by an American production company."

Such views undoubtedly represent the voice of the mainstream media, and of course Quentin? A director like Tastino doesn't care too much about this kind of voice.

Perhaps it was Charlize's joining of the Oscar-winning actress that did increase the appeal of the movie, and the box office of "Kill Bill" was a little better than Ryan's vague impression.

On Wednesday, it got $27.55 million in 31o2 theaters, which is already an excellent result for a niche film.

Ryan is one of Miramax's major shareholders, and naturally wants to see the film profitable.

In the process of filming "Argo", he also took the time to pay attention to the box office trend of the film, and the box office fell to more than $160,000 in the second week, and slipped to more than $85o in the third week.

This situation is normal, the real market reaction of niche films, according to his calculations, the North American box office of this film is difficult to exceed 100 million, but compared to investment, it is not difficult to make a profit.

Subsequently, most of Ryan's energy shifted to Argo again.

The crew was divided into two groups, and the assistant director led some people to shoot shots such as the take-off of a Swiss Airlines flight and some pure street scenes. Clooney and the main cast ended up on the set and began to travel around North America.

The Islamic ghetto in California, the State Department building and the Washington Monument in Washington, and the CIA headquarters in Virginia were all locations that the crew needed to film. Some are not easy to enter, and this is where the role of the CIA, the partner, comes into play.

With the CIA as a guarantee, although it will not get admission tickets to some key places, it will relatively reduce many difficulties encountered by the crew in location shooting.

Of course, both the State Department and the CIA headquarters building can only be shot briefly at the entrance, and it is not as easy to enter the interior as it is to set up a scene in a studio.

In late November, the crew arrived in Langley, Virginia. The headquarters of the CIA is located here.

To assist in the filming of this alternative CIA propaganda film, the CIA gave the crew a day to shoot in the plaza and entrances of the headquarters building.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, the camera is also locked on Ryan and other actors as much as possible, reducing the appearance of panoramic shots, and the set is even faster and more concise, except for the nameplates of a few shooting locations.

In addition, on the parking lot of the square, there are more than a dozen old-fashioned cars transported by the crew.

"Stop! Stop! ”

on the parking lot of the square. Ryan gestured to the camera to stop and pointed to the large microphone that reached overhead for recording, "Check the recording equipment, I just heard the noise." ”

George across from him? Clooney shouted. "Hurry up! We have limited time! Don't let these damn questions waste precious time! ”

At the same time as he shouted, several technicians were already busy.

"George, I've got something interesting." Ryan placed his briefcase on the front lid of the car and looked at him with interest. "No matter what kind of temper a person, or how gentle and delicate the voice is, he has been sitting in the director's chair for a long time. will become a grumpy loud voice. ”

"Ahem, then I need to pay attention to my image." George? Clooney smoothed his head and glanced at the reporter who was looming in the distance who was stopped by the CIA, "I'm not just a director, I'm an actor." ”

The other party is a veteran handsome guy recognized by the media and the public, and of course a veteran playboy.

After about ten minutes, the recording equipment was adjusted and the shooting resumed.

Ryan picked up his briefcase, walked to the exit of the CIA building, made an 'ok' gesture to the camera, and strode towards the parking lot after the assistant director shouted to start.

Before he could get to his car, he saw George getting out of the black car. Clooney gave an American-style military salute to the other party from afar and walked over quickly.

"I actually left the autograph collection book at home!" The other party greeted him with a smile, and the two walked straight to the flower bed, and he said, "The director called me, he wants to see you!" ”

"Maybe he wanted to fire me with his own hands." This person who doesn't talk much at work rarely shows a smile.

The camera is on either side of the two, at most a foot away, but Ryan and George? Clooney has been an actor for many years, and he doesn't care about the camera at all.

"Tony, he wants to give you the Order of Intelligence Star!"

With these words, Ryan's indifferent face showed a hint of surprise, and the person opposite continued, "You are about to win the highest award for excellence in the secret organization of the United States, and the award ceremony is on the 14th floor. ”

What should you do in Hollywood movies in the face of such moments?

Of course, it will not be modest, nor will it be said to be the result of so-and-so leadership, let alone shouting a few big and empty slogans.

North American films have never been stingy in showing family and affection, especially for the depiction of a legendary hero.

"If it's postponed for a week, I can bring Ian here." Tony played by Ryan? Mendez's first thought is definitely family, "he's on winter break next week." ”

"The operation is classified, and so is the award ceremony." The other party said very helplessly, "Ian can't know, no one can know." ”

"So they're going to give me the award and then take it back?" Ryan gave a look of understanding.

"That's right!" The person on the other side nodded, "If we wanted to hear applause, we would have chosen to join the circus in the first place." ”

He patted Ryan on the shoulder and strode toward netbsp; "Isn't this a circus?" Ryan turned around slowly, George? Clooney turned his head at the same time and said as he walked forward, "Jimmy? Carter said you're a great American! ”

Ryan smiled briefly, and quickly regained his inherent calm.

"Alright, it's time to call it a day!"

George? Clooney went to check on the camera, and quickly asked his assistant to give a notice of retreat.

Getting into his car, Ryan said to the driver, "Go back to Washington, D.C." ”

The headquarters of the CIA is on the border between Washington, D.C. and Virginia, and the crew stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. Reagan was taken by John? The hotel where Hinckley assassinated.

Unlike the CIA and the White House, due to its particularity, it is never open to the public, only clients and employees with whom it has a working relationship and government employees are allowed to enter, and Ryan never thought of visiting the spy agency, so it is better to go back to Washington for a few turns.

It was still early, and instead of going straight back to the hotel, he let the car go around the Lincoln Memorial, and although he had been here before, he rarely had time to visit everywhere.

Speaking of which, in addition to this shooting, the last time I came to Washington, it was when I was a child.

It seems to be the time when "Jurassic Park" was released, right? Through the car window, Ryan seemed to be faintly able to see the shadow of the National Museum of Natural History.

In fact, in recent years, the White House has invited him to the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, which entertains celebrities, reporters, media people and tycoons, but Ryan rarely finds time to come, most of them are Nicole or Pie? Kinsley attended.

The Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, both of which are highly photographed buildings in Hollywood movies, are of course the objects of major destruction, and if you count Hollywood movies, they must have been destroyed at least ten times.

Ryan didn't get out of the car and was not interested in being watched, but just asked the driver to slow down the car slightly, and when he passed by the entrance of the Lincoln Memorial, he also saw another crew filming here.

Although he didn't look very carefully, Ryan knew that this was the crew of Warner Bros., after a long period of preparation, a few days ago, the crew of "Wonder Woman" officially started filming in Washington, D.C., and the actor who played Princess Diana was Natalie's friend from Israel.

In this way, the work that DC Comics wants to break the predicament and highlight the encirclement is neither "Man" nor "Batman", but this "Wonder Woman", which once created the brilliant Tim of the Batman series of movies? Burton, once again, was pinned on by Time Warner.

There were many reporters around the crew, and Ryan didn't have the idea of getting out of the car to ask for trouble, and after the car drove past the entrance of the memorial hall, he withdrew his gaze.

In fact, as long as Princess Diana's enemies and her feminist thoughts are dealt with, and then in order to find a suitable enemy, even if the movie will not be a big hit, it will not become a big hole like "The Return of Man" in the previous life.

On a few occasions, Ryan has also heard from Warners that DC's opponents for Wonder Woman will be a female traitor who is also an Amazon, and Ares, one of the gods of Mount Olympus, in order to avoid touching the sensitive psychology of male audiences as much as possible.

For more than a week, Ryan walked around Washington, D.C., shooting some scattered footage, and then rushed back to California to shoot a lot of Shiite marches in an Islamic community. Mendez's role.

Although it was still some time before the crew finished filming, Ryan was already able to leave. (To be continued......)
