Chapter 200. [The Christmas War is on the verge of breaking out]
The hot sale of "Saw 2" made everyone unbelievable and ecstatic. Almost everyone associated with the show has benefited from the hit of Saw 2.
As mentioned before, James Wynne took this opportunity to step into the ranks of Hollywood horror directors and took off the hat of a fledgling man who has no hair on his mouth and does not do things well; As an assistant director, Fat Jack is also red and purple now, of course, as a behind-the-scenes person, as an assistant director, he is not as eye-catching as James, but everyone in the industry knows that he is Yi Feiyang's henchman, a dream veteran, who has filmed and directed, and now he is a newcomer, this kind of measurement is absolutely not to be said;
The old actor Max has become even more popular, although he has not yet reached the height of the previous popularity, but compared to the previous downfall, it is simply like two people, and now there are many film companies throwing olive branches at him, unlike before, they don't care about him, and even Max pulls down his face and begs for a play, but no one cares, and now others are kneeling and begging him;
In addition to the old Max, other actors have also become popular artists in the film industry, and they are hot; Even some of the people who played small supporting roles began to gain popularity, and in the ranks of supporting roles, they are considered to be the best among them. Others also have their own gains, and even ordinary employees can get a little more money from the dividends of future movies.
For a while, everyone was overjoyed and recognized the golden sign of Dream Pictures and Yi Feiyang-
Fantastic production, must be a good product!
……
The craze of "Saw 2" also affected the pre-sale of movie tickets for the song and dance film "Dance Floor Battle" directed by Yi Feiyang himself and about to be completed. I'm curious, Yi Feiyang, who can choreograph such a sharp horror film, what kind of song and dance film is he filmed?
Who would have thought that "Dance Floor Brawl", which was already very good because of Mike's pre-sale, would blow out again, and the pre-sale tickets skyrocketed to 1 million in just three days!
Before a play was released, the box office revenue has reached an astonishing $6 million, this unprecedented pre-sale model has once again set a number of Hollywood records, and Yi Feiyang has also become the Chinese director with the highest pre-sale box office in history.
As the initiator of this series of exciting news. Chinese director Yi Feiyang is non-stop condolences to orphans in Los Angeles.
Because the filming of "Dance Floor Fight" is basically completed, Mike Jackson is going to invite him to the orphanage to have a look, after all, it's almost Christmas, and it's good to give some Christmas gifts.
During this period of filming, the relationship between Yi Feiyang and Mike was very good. It can even be said that they are very harmonious, and they have become friends who talk about everything. That's why Mike made this suggestion. I immediately agreed.
Originally, Yi Feiyang didn't take this matter too seriously. I just felt that it was right to do some good deeds, but Dures, the publicity director of Dream Pictures, saw the key to it, and he told Yi Feiyang, "Make things bigger!" ”
Yi Feiyang didn't quite understand, and Dures smiled slightly, "Do you know what to do?" There are many people who are popular, especially in Hollywood, you must learn to put on a show! ”
Show?!
Yi Feiyang understood, but he really didn't want to take it to the orphanage for charity show. But Dures had everything ready......
That day. Yi Feiyang and Mike visited the orphanage in Los Angeles, where they visited the orphaned children, gave them gifts, picked them up and took a group photo, and the media flocked to them......
Needless to say, this is all information that Dures revealed to the media. In the face of those reporters, Mike was a little stunned, originally he planned that this action would be carried out in a low-key manner, but in the face of so many reporters, he thought that his side had leaked the news, and said to Yi Feiyang: "I'm sorry, I've bothered you." ”
Yi Feiyang was inevitably embarrassed in his heart, feeling that he had taken advantage of Mike and these poor orphans. Just when he wanted to tell the truth, Dures announced on behalf of Yi Feiyang that Dream Pictures would donate $3 million to the orphanage in order to improve the facilities and equipment here, so that the lovely children can have a better environment.
3 million US dollars is definitely not a small amount, and even Mike next to Yi Feiyang had to look at Yi Feiyang with an appreciative expression.
Of course, if it is said that Mike used to donate hundreds of millions of dollars to charity, but that was all in the past, and now he can't even take care of his own side, where will he slap a swollen face and become fat; Dures also took into account him, or Mike's value to Dream, so he announced that Dream Pictures would withdraw $5 million from the box office of the future "Dance Floor Fight" as a donation fund for Mr. Mike Jackson, but this money will not be donated to orphanages, but to charities in Los Angeles.
It can be said that Dures's trick directly put gold on Mike's face and sold him a favor for a day.
Even Yi Feiyang had to admire Dures's arrangement, this guy was simply a natural mastermind.
Mike was happy, he originally thought that only Yi Fei would be in the limelight, and he would be overshadowed, but he didn't expect that dear Yi would be so thoughtful, look, those media reporters are taking pictures of themselves.
Everyone's happy!
The name of Gigay Charity Ambassador is even louder.
Mike reinvents the image of a charity superstar.
Dream Pictures has the approval of Mike Jackson.
Journalists get the news they want.
……
Yi Feiyang's Dream Pictures donated 8 million in one fell swoop, which once again detonated the entire Hollywood entertainment industry.
In addition to being a charity ambassador, Yi Feiyang was awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of Los Angeles" by the City of Los Angeles in recognition of his achievements in the film industry and philanthropy.
It can be said that Yi Feiyang has become the focus of the entire North America, after all, it is rare for Chinese to be awarded such an honor.
However, for Yi Feiyang, such an honor is dispensable, because for him, it is not of practical significance, it is better to give him some special policies to support the rapid development of his company.
It has become Yi Feiyang's biggest dream to succeed in becoming an upstart in the Hollywood film industry, and now this dream still needs strength to back it up.
Just when Yi Feiyang was talking about the Los Angeles City Government not being interesting enough, and he would only talk about it and not be practical, "The Matrix 2" filmed by the Wachowski brothers was released!
In fact, North America has already formed a patterned tradition, that is, every December, as long as Christmas is approaching, there will be an unprecedented cruel competition and fight - for film companies, whether they can come out on top, make a big profit, and become the king of Christmas movies depends on this schedule. So it's not just the showdown between "The Matrix 2" and "Dance Floor Fight", but also the release of many movies.
First of all, director Dennis Dugang, who has just signed to Columbia, has launched his comedy "Fake Dad", and the biggest highlight of this play is not how big the director is, but how the comedian Adam Sandler who starred in the play is.
Speaking of Hollywood comedy stars, in addition to the nonsensical king Jim Carrey, the most famous is Adam Sandler, who has been performing comedy in clubs since he was 17 years old, and when he found that he could easily amuse the audience, Sandler realized that he was born to be a clown, so he decided to be a comedian who could laugh everyone's belly. Later, by chance, Adam. Sandler came to Los Angeles to join the Weekend Night Live comedy family. At first, Adam Sandler always played the role of imbeciles, and through these mentally retarded characters who are easily sympathized with or forgotten, he poignantly showed the ugliness of people in reality.
Because Sandler's performances were in place, the ratings for "Weekend Night Live" continued to rise from 1991 to 1995. So much so that Sandler became famous, and finally successfully entered the film industry, and last year, in 1998, he co-starred with Drew Barrymore in "The Wedding Singer", which was a box office hit, making him an overnight celebrity. In the same year, his other film, "Sluggish Forward", netted $39 million in its first weekend and grossed more than $140 million in the United States, and Sandler managed to become a big name in Hollywood comedy.
Adam. Sandler is best at playing the comedic role of "good people have good rewards, stupid people have stupid blessings". Sandler's seemingly sluggish appearance, combined with witty, sarcastic dialogue, and Fu's sincere kindness, represented the new good man of the '90s, who was the easiest to please audiences, which is perhaps the main reason for his popularity.
Now that Colombia has chosen Sandler to shoot this film, it is because he has taken a fancy to his potential to star in comedy, hoping to concoct a family-friendly comedy during the Christmas schedule, called "Fake Dad" has already illustrated Colombia's ambitions, targeting all aspects of the audience!
In addition to Columbia Pictures, Universal also released a blockbuster movie this time - "Miracle on the Green Mile"!
Yes, it is the super blockbuster "Miracle of the Green Mile", which will compete for the Oscars in the future!
The director of this play is Frank. Darrabont, but compared to directing this job, Frank. Darrabont is better suited to be called a screenwriter, but his few directorial works have earned him the love of fans around the world: such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Miracle of the Green Mile".
In Yi Feiyang's view, this Frank. Darrabont simply has a "relationship" with the "King of Terror" Stephen King, because the relationship between the two is too close.
This gentleman can be said to be a professional director of Stephen King's novels, and Stephen King is very receptive to his filming of his own novels, so much so that Frank is "jealous" by many directors who like Stephen King's novels: Holy shit, why can't we shoot so many scenes, but you can shoot one after another?! (To be continued......)
