Chapter 86 A Small Thing (1/5)

When an actor chooses a script, it depends on his status!

The more top actors you are, the more scripts you have to choose from…

For people like Huang Bo, the director basically contacts him if he has intentions.

And they are all top directors!

Lu Xiaoran, Ning Hao like this!

When other actors' scripts are transferred to the actors, they have been screened for a round, which requires agents and teams to have a certain ability to review scripts. Of course, larger actors or companies will also configure special staff to read scripts.

Will help straighten out the logic of the script and analyze the characters...

Again, it would be nice to have a show...

Some actors go with the flow - they make a living anyway;

Some of them will try to find the logical lines of their own characters so that the roles will not be bad...

The typical one is Zhu Yilong. He can still maintain the level he deserves to be, and such an actor deserves to become famous!

...

In August, I also appeared in a movie, Terminator: Genesis...

North America's box office of 89 million dollars.

This is the first work of the 'Terminator' IP reboot.

Terminator's IP originated from a nightmare of Cameron. When a 26-year-old Canadian truck driver came to Hollywood to try to become a director, he got a chance to shoot a very low horror film, but he was fired five days later.

Oh, that horror movie is "Pizzard 2"…

After being fired, Cameron's life also fell to the deepest valley, lying in the travel vehicle where he temporarily lived and was drowsy.

After becoming famous, he recalled this way: "I had a high fever and was on the verge of collapse. Then I had a dream. A metal man came out of the raging fire. His skin had been burned and revealed his true face, but it smiled at me, his eyes emitting dark red light staring at me."

Then, Cameron was about to do a big ticket, and he wanted to shoot the nightmare...

Cameron was less than 30 years old and was not a professional. He was expelled after five days of director experience.

Do you think that such a person can create miracles by shooting nightmares? Do you dare to believe it?

Some people really believe that they will spend $6 million to create a dream for Cameron.

In March 1984, the film officially started.

The shooting time is mostly completed at night, and the crew is too poor, saving costs.

Well, this is a movie that can't afford to use lights and is shot by street lights.

After the photo was taken, there was no money, so Cameron and others continued to take photos out of their own pockets.

Cameron is quite satisfied with this work. The lighting effect of the street lights makes the film create a dark atmosphere. Everything looks cold and exudes a sense of depression that wants to escape quickly.

When he gave the first cut to the publisher, the other party's evaluation was terrible.

The publisher is not optimistic about it. When "Terminator" was released, it was positioned as a late-night B-level film.

The critics’ complaints did not hide the light of the film because the audience liked to watch it.

"Terminator" finally ushered in the highlight of its Jedi rebirth, winning 38 million box office, and finally making it to the top 20 of the US box office list that year.

Then, the global volume of "Terminator 2" is $520 million...

But these cannot change the fact that "Terminator: Genesis" is a bad movie...

Let’s put it this way, like “Jurassic Park”, “Jaws”, “Alien” and “Terminator”, they are actually movies with high concept settings. The concept of “Terminator” is to kill people through time and space!

The first movie of this type is very attractive.

One of the important reasons is that you have never seen it before.

Then the second part increases the price. The meaning of the price increases is to make both sides stronger, but the opponent becomes even more invincible.

Otherwise, it will become "Jurassic Park 2" - no difference from the first one...

It is difficult to make the third part of such a movie, because the increase in the second part has been added to an invincible level. What should I do with the third part?

The usual practice is to continue telling a similar story, and then release it with fame to make money...

After the trilogy, pause!

The problem is that in recent years, Hollywood has not dared to make original movies, and has begun to think of original ips, "The Planet of the Apes", "Pretty", "X-Men", and especially last year's "Mad Max 4", which has won praise from all over the world!

So, Paramount spent a lot of money to produce "Terminator: Genesis" which is understandable...

It is understandable that the box office failure is...

What I can't understand is that in "Terminator: Dark Destiny", Fujisuke wants to invest in "Terminator"?

Have you seen the market prospects?

...

Lu Xiaoran likes the feeling of staying in the crew.

Don't worry about external affairs, just handle the movie itself...

The crew is relatively closed, and one shot takes three months. During these three months, Lu Xiaoran is the boss and is the only one to talk about!

So, something strange happened in the market, and he didn't know!

Leshi Film wanted to do advanced on-demand broadcasts, but was boycotted by theaters...

During this period, after the madness of the summer season, the market in September has returned to normal. In addition to "Gorgeous Office Workers", "Beautiful Wrong", and "Assassin Nie Yinniang", the original cast of "The Disappearing Murderer" - "The Bullet of the Hour" released by the newest film...

"Beautiful Wrong" is a very boring film. Although it has Amou + Huang Bo, the box office is not very high. 32% of the films were released for seven days and the box office exceeded 200 million...

"Gorgeous Office Worker" is a bad movie, so there is no need to say more...

"Assassin Nie Yinniang" is too high-end, setting the highest departure record in Chinese movies - comparable to "The King's Feast"!

Most people buy tickets just to post the ticket stubs, and then upload them to their friends circle, adding a sentence of 'Every frame is a wallpaper' to show that they have a style...

Big Brother, "Hero", "Ten-side Ambush", "Night Banquet", "The Promise" is also a wallpaper...

OK, receive it!

(You can't complain anyway!)

In other words, the screening schedule of "The Lost Murderer" is not low, at least 20%!

Then Zhang Zhao announced: The preview is that on Leshi TV, you can watch "The Lost Murderer" in theaters...

Not only that, Leshi's "Nine-Story Demon Tower" also wants to broadcast it on Leshi TV ahead of schedule...

Why do this?

There is nothing to say about the fun!

"Tiny Times" was stolen, and they could only count on directors from Hong Kong, but the box office of Hong Kong movies in mainland China was very sad...

Eight major theaters jointly issued a statement: "This kind of ignoring market rules ahead of the screening of cinemas on other broadcasting platforms has seriously damaged the rules of the film industry and damaged the interests of cinemas and theaters. We will firmly resist!"

Jia Yueting has no money!

If he is really rich, do you resist it or not...

...

Lu Xiaoran was on the phone with Zhong Lifang. His opinion on this matter was very simple: "So the time is not ripe. The most important thing is that Bat seems to want to intervene in theaters and don't want to be a disruptor!"

"Do they want to get involved in theaters?"

"Teng Xun, Ali, I have always wanted to invest in Orange Cinema, don't you know?"

Zhong Lifang rolled her eyes: "I thought this was the layout of their 'big entertainment' plan..."

Ali, Tengxun and Du Niang have proposed large entertainment plans, covering all channels...

All kinds of bragging, storytelling...

Zhong Lifang completely treats their words as jokes...

Big entertainment?

You should first have a well-known and popular work!

Lu Xiaoran has already started preparing more than 20 high-IQ crime films including "Invisible Guest", "The Knife Out", "The Tuner", "The Internet Miracle", "The Unknown Death", "The Mirage", "The Disappearance of the Night", "The Perfect Stranger", "The Night of the Comet", "The Swamp", and "The Maze of the Heart".

What these movies have in common is that they don’t need too many special effects and they don’t have much investment…

The movie viewing effect of the theater video is similar...

Prepare to launch the watermelon video at one time at the end of next year...

Now I have to consider...
Chapter completed!
