357. How did it get cold all of a sudden?
After the release of FATE, the game sold more than 400,000 copies in the first month, and if this momentum continues, it should be a million-level galgame.
On the one hand, the game itself is well done, but more importantly, it has the big platform of Pokeni.
After so many years of painstaking management of P Society, the market has been expanded, and P Society's games are worthy of the title of the king of boutiques.
But Hiroyuki Hattori doesn't think so, in his opinion it's all the power of the garbage can god.
FATE is not only remembered for its gorgeous scenes, but also for the game's many interesting memes:
For example, the legs play with the year
Also: if a man is killed, he dies......
The pleasure of mapo
It's all Shi Chen's fault
Since ancient times, there have been many archers,
Since ancient times, spearmen lucky E and so on.
Coupled with the promotion of RTT, FATE has become a hot topic that young people are discussing nowadays.
β¦β¦
According to Qing Zhiyuan's idea, this is just the beginning of the moon world, and the popularity will rise a lot after the animation of FSN is made in the future.
In addition, Qingzhiyuan has reason to believe that the future FATE-related figures are expected to become another best-selling product of the company after PokΓ©mon.
Think about it, FATE's Heroic Spirit figurines can actually fill a wall.
Just the shape of the king can make N more, and Artoria's popularity has always been high.
It's just that without the blessing of animation now, it must still be a step behind, so Qing Zhiyuan has put FSN's animation production into the production schedule of Xinghai Studio, which is owned by Yuehe.
β¦β¦
Regarding Yuehe's side, the director was determined in September before, and the crew is now being prepared.
Nolan rewrote the storyboard according to his own ideas, preparing to prepare for the filming of The Matrix I at the beginning, and after several script meetings, it was finally finalized.
Qing Zhiyuan is still very confident in him, as long as he can make the movie effective, it is not a big problem.
Then there's the question of casting.
Luckily, Keanu Reeves can be finalized, as long as the actor is determined, the rest will be smooth.
The current Keanu Reeves has not yet reached the level of a particularly big name, although there are some works, but they are never at the first-line level, so the asking price is not high.
Considering that the Matrix has to shoot a total of three films, the contracts signed by the actors are all signed for three consecutive films.
If the actor is changed halfway, it will actually be a very embarrassing thing for the producer, and after the audience gets used to the original actor, they actually don't buy it much.
Unless it's a force majeure like "Spartacus" where the actor of the actor dies.
After signing Keanu Reeves at one time, the first part is $6 million, the second part is $8 million, and the third part is $10 million, all of which are finalized according to the industry's internal prices.
got Keanu Reeves, and the movie was half of the success.
All that's left is to determine the heroine.
β¦β¦
Qing Zhiyuan didn't have any requirements for himself, so he directly delegated power to the producer and director.
Hitotsubashi Fumie and Nolan, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't count each other's hearts.
Although it is said that the casting power is in the hands of Hitotsubashi Bune, but after analyzing it with Nolan, it seems easy, but it is quite difficult to do.
The requirements for the heroine of The Matrix are actually very different from other Hollywood movies.
First of all, this character has to be very playable.
COMPUTER CG TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED FOR LONG, AND EVEN IF POKENI HAS A STRONG 3D RENDERING TECHNOLOGY, IT CANNOT ACHIEVE A VERY SMOOTH AI HEAD CHANGE.
Therefore, in terms of basic actions, actors are needed to carry out real shooting.
For this reason, they also specially invited Yuan Heping, the first martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang, as the chief director to control the actors' movements, and at the same time give Hollywood foreigners a good training on how Chinese martial arts films are filmed.
Even if you can't do the fighting moves now, you must at least have some potential and can be trained.
Although there are martial arts, in some important scenes, the actress still has to take action and cooperate with the completion of the connecting part of the fight.
Then the requirements of this actor have been raised.
At least have the potential to be trained, the physical fitness must be strong, the movements must be tense enough, even if it is pose, it must be recognized by the audience.
In addition, according to the characteristics of the character, it can make the male protagonist fall in love at first sight, and at the same time have the characteristics of a strong woman, this actress must not only have a certain appearance, but also have resolute eyes and heroic spirit, that is to say, have a certain edges and corners.
At least it can give people the impression that this woman is difficult to fight.
It is both soft and rigid, but in fact, it is really not easy to find it in general.
β¦β¦
The first person to be found by Hitotsubashi was Gwyneth Paltrow.
is the little pepper who starred in Iron Man in his previous life.
Now Gwyneth is still very good, and has just starred in "The Seven Deadly Sins" and Jane Austen's film adaptation of "Emma"
is considered an up-and-coming newcomer, and even Cameron considered Gwyneth at the beginning of the Titanic.
What Nolan likes about her is that Gwyneth has a sweet face and a more rigid silhouette than the average girl.
It's salty and sweet, plus it's still very young and in good shape, so as long as you train it, you should be able to become a good seedling.
However, this was only Nolan's own thoughts.
The previous set of Ichibashi Wene used to attract directors didn't work very well, and playing the action shots drawn by Qing Zhiyuan would only make the actresses retreat.
And the script is not so attractive to the actors.
Gwyneth shook her head after reading the script, let alone after watching the storyboard animation they gave her.
Gwyneth felt that there was too much gap between her image and her strengths, and that the girls in the Matrix were actually quite challenging, but she was worried that she would not be able to do it, so she refused Nolan's invitation.
The second one they found was Sandra Bullock, who starred in the 1994 action film "Speed of Life and Death" with a cumulative global box office of $350 million, and also had some fighting actions in the movie, which is considered to have a certain foundation, and the girl who is very suitable for Nolan's choice in terms of appearance and figure.
Sandra Bullock still refuses after reading the script.
Although the script of The Matrix is indeed very attractive, and the gimmick of a sci-fi blockbuster is also very loud.
But she thinks that she has starred in action girls before, and if the inherent impression is strengthened by The Matrix, it is very likely that the drama path will be narrowed, and she will not receive other types of movies in the future, and it is possible that all the movies that come to her specifically are action movies.
In fact, it bothered her a lot.
β¦β¦
After that, Hitotsubashi Fumika and Nolan relaxed their requirements, and found well-known female stars such as Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Winona Ryder, and Demi Moore.
Whether you can play or not, whether you can do actions is not so important, and even whether your appearance is too sweet, such as Nicole Kidman, is a standard beauty face, the face shape is too smooth, there is no need to say anything angular and heroic.
The key is that as long as they agree to sign a contract, they can make up for it through acting.
However, they were still ruthlessly rejected in this way.
Either I feel that the difficulty is too high and it is not suitable for me, or I feel that signing a long contract of three movies at one time is a bit unacceptable.
In Hollywood, the salary is almost the same every year, and even a movie is the same, especially for male and female stars who are on the rise in their careers, a movie may become popular, and the value will rise all of a sudden.
So their agents all said that it was impossible to sign a three-film contract at one time.
At most, it can only be signed one by one.
If the film is successful and the Matrix is a big hit, the actress's value will soar, and she can ask for more if she takes over the next movie.
If the film fails, you can pull away.
But these are all unbearable for Ichibashi Bungaku, the Matrix has to be filmed in a trilogy, and there can be no such thing as taking one step at a time.
So none of them came to an end.
Some female celebrities may have some high-sounding excuses, but in fact they are just because: they are not optimistic.
First, Yuehe is a neon company that has established a subsidiary in the United States for film production and distribution, but this company is not well-known at all, and it is still an outsider.
Second, the producer is not very famous, although Hitotsubashi Fumie has also done it in Hollywood before, but she has not had a successful movie, and she has no talent and ideals, but she has not really displayed it.
Third, the director is not famous, which is a very important point, who is this guy Nolan, I have never heard of it.
For Hollywood actors, the script is important, but the director and producer are also important, especially after signing in the future, which is equivalent to putting their time in the hands of the director.
Whether you can make a good movie depends on the director.
This highlights the importance of the director.
Hitobashi frowned fiercely.
It's all to blame on Qing Zhiyuan, who made him not choose Cameron in the first place?
Such a big director, how appealing.
If Cameron is here, it will not be the role that picks the director, but the director who picks the actor.
Butβ
Nolan?
This director is not at all like he does not exist, if this is a film and television company simulation management game, Nolan at this time is a guy with a high attribute value, but the fame value and popularity are 0.
Even if Yuehe is willing to pay a lot of money, in fact, celebrities are not willing to bury their acting careers for the sake of bad money.
Unless it's like Nicolas Cage who owes a lot of debt, there is no choice but not to be picky, and to shoot when there is a scene, just to spend money.
But it's really hard to find such a female star.
After more than a month, even the supporting roles were almost found, but the heroine was not finalized for a long time.
Hitotsubashi Fumie was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Although it is normal to prepare for filming for half a year and a year, she especially hopes that this film can enter the filming process as soon as possible.
The actors' schedules are actually not easy to coordinate, and it takes so many people to spare a few months to give to the director.
If the heroine fails to finalize, it is tantamount to wasting everyone's time.
β¦β¦
There is no way, Yuehe can only screen the actresses he wants by recruiting from the whole country.
According to the conclusion reached by Hitotsubashi Bune and Nolan after discussion:
Now that they have come to this point, even if they are not famous, as long as they can screen out suitable candidates, it doesn't matter who this girl is, even if she is a first-time filmmaker.
Luck will befall her.
This is destined to be a blockbuster movie, and as long as she plays the heroine, even if she is unknown now, she will become famous in the future.
This is enough confidence in the script, for the director and the work team.
After the announcement of the audition was issued, it quickly received the attention of industry insiders.
"Walter, Yuehe has made such a big move, and the movie that has been funded for 150 million US dollars has not been able to finalize the heroine until now?"
"Maybe it's because the director is not famous, right? Hahaha, and I have to sign three movies at one time, and I have to shoot it for 6 or 7 years, which is almost my career.
Who would want to take such a risk? β
"The main reason is that Yuehe didn't choose the director well, and chose Nolan, otherwise I remember that Cameron is willing to take over the filming of The Matrix, with Cameron's appeal and influence, you don't have to worry about your career at all."
"Yes, the boss of Yuehe Company is too visionless, right?"
β¦β¦
The pressure of Tsukiha, the pressure of Fumie Itotsubashi and Nolan is huge, and both of them urgently need to prove themselves with their results.
And it's all stuck in the very first step.
The outside world is questioning Yuehe, the director and producer, and even the bosses Seong Chi Won and Nao Tsuda are getting louder and louder.
Naturally, the quality of the actresses who came to participate in the audition can also be imagined.
This film, if it is changed to any Hollywood company to prepare for filming, the quality of the personnel participating in the audition will not be much worse, if it is Warner Bros. in the previous life, I am afraid that a bunch of actors will rush over.
It's not that Yuehe can't afford to give money, it's just because Yuehe has no achievements and the director is not famous.
After several auditions, Nolan and Fumie Hitotsubashi had a headache to death.
The people who came to participate were basically actresses who were not famous, or even had bad deeds, just for money.
While interviewing, Fumie Hitotsubashi faxed the candidate's information to Neon's Sei Chi Yuan.
On this day, Fumie Hitotsubashi and Nolan were interviewing for new actresses, and then just after passing the applicant's information, they received a call from Seong Ji Won.
"Hello? Qingsang. This is a Hitotsubashi bune. β
"That," Qing Zhiyuan's nice and determined voice came from the other end of the phone, "the one who just interviewed is called Angelina Jolie, just use her." β
"Huh?!" Both Hitotsubashi and Nolan were taken aback.
Because just 5 minutes ago, they let this Angelina Jolie go home.
It's not because of anything else, whether it's her image or performance, Angelina is very much in line with the standards of the heroine.
The only fly in the ointment is that the bear is too big.
However, the reason why Hitotsubashi Fumika brushed her off was only because Angelina Jolie's reputation was not very good.
Young Angelina Jolie was a prodigal and committed suicide by drinking and skating, and just recently committed suicide.
In her previous life, Angelina Jolie also completely woke up after this suicide, and the prodigal girl turned back and became a superstar.
However, now in the eyes of Hitotsubashi and Nolan, this guy obviously has a problem.
But then again, there is a high probability that the actress who has no problem will not appear here.
The current Angelina Jolie was seriously determined to make a change before applying, although Yuehe was not the same as the film and television company she imagined, but she didn't have to choose.
Angelina Jolie desperately needs a successful movie to prove herself, and at the same time needs money.
"President, are you sure you're talking about Angelina Jolie?" Fumie Hitotsubashi confirmed it again.
"Yes, that's right. That's her. Qing Zhiyuan smiled.
β¦β¦
At the same time, Toby Gard, the producer of the Tomb Raider series, couldn't help but shudder.
"Sizzle...... It's strange, it's only November, why did it get cold all of a sudden? β
β¦β¦
