Furio is a typical southern Italian, short in stature, with a strong body, black hair and black eyes, and he looks like a mixed Eurasian.

Bai Quinn is actually of mixed Eurasian descent, but his facial features are softer and can match the aesthetics of both sides. However, Furio's nose is bigger, his eye sockets are deeper, and his cheekbones are more prominent. According to European standards, he is a

Mediterranean-style handsome men are a bit ugly for Easterners.

Bai Quinn didn't want to ask why Gerald's leg suddenly broke, because when he mentioned this matter, William, who was in the car with him, had an extremely unnatural expression, and there were some things that he didn't want to get involved in.

The promotional materials had already been sent to Sundance. The four of them only needed to bring two valuable copies. After a long air journey, they finally arrived at Sundance.

Since Sarah entered the third and final round of auditions, she still had to stay in Los Angeles for two days. The little girl excitedly told Quinn that according to information from her agent, Director Whedon was very optimistic about her. Maybe this time

She was able to get the role.

Waiting for them at Sundance was Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson. They were attending the Sundance Film Festival for the second time. They knew the place better and helped them book accommodation. After putting away their luggage, everyone started looking for it together.

Let's go to a bar and drink, just to catch the wind.

With the funds in hand, Wes Anderson's other film "Bottle Rocket" has been produced very smoothly and passed the screening of Sony Columbia Pictures a week ago. Sony will be responsible for the distribution of "Bottle Rocket".

The first stop for Sony's promotion was Sundance. Although "Bottle Rocket" did not participate in the film festival's award selection, as a film sold here last year, Sundance chief planner Jeffrey Gilmore still gave "Bottle Rocket"

》Special treatment, arrange for them to be screened on the first day of the film festival.

Sony will also formulate subsequent publicity strategies based on feedback from the screenings.

As for "Bonnie and Fraker", the new work directed by Wes Anderson, Jeffrey Gilmore also provided convenience, not only allowing them to successfully submit a supplementary application after the registration deadline and obtain the qualification to participate in the film festival award selection, but also

Three screenings were also arranged.

When I saw Wes Anderson this time, I naturally couldn’t drink less grateful wine!

After a few glasses of wine, Bai Quinn took the somewhat giddy Wes Anderson and started talking:

Brother, who is coming to Sony Colombia this time? Can you introduce me to them through some matchmaking? Once things are done, my brother will never treat you badly...

Wes Anderson agreed in a daze, and only found out about it the next day after being reminded by his old friend Owen Wilson.

This time the Sony Columbia team is personally led by President Lisa Hanson, who reports directly to Sony Pictures President Alan Levine.

Wes Anderson, the boss at this level, really couldn't speak, but he could only try to smooth things over as he promised.

Sure enough, the distribution staff told Wes Anderson that Ms. Henson was not interested in action movies.

But the news somehow reached the ears of Michael Buck, the president of Sony Classics, another team under Sony Pictures, and this red-faced Jew took the initiative to approach Wes Anderson.

Under the arrangement of Michael Barker, the creative team of "Bonnie and Frank" met with the Sony Classics team in a small screening room.

After a brief exchange of greetings between the two parties, everything still had to do with the work. The copy was inserted into the projector, the lights were turned off, and "Bonnie and Frank" began to be played in the small screening room.

This is also the first time that Bai Quinn and Wes Anderson have watched the complete film.

When Bonnie was shot, the guitar prelude of "It's my life" sounded. In the passionate music, Frick, who liked to talk with his fists and hated weapons, held a pistol for the first time. After finishing a box of bullets, he killed two people.

A robber flew out his pistol and knocked off the robber leader's weapon. The two collided for the third time.

The three action scenes between Bai Quinn and Randy were all shown in long shots. The aerial actions, hugging and wrestling actions and the scenes of destroying tables, chairs and walls were all cut into slow motion, highlighting the fierceness and violence of the two.

As an action director, Bai Quinn is actually incompetent. He can only direct Randy's opponent's scenes. Owen Wilson and the other robber are completely unable to cooperate with his actions.

For example, in an action scene, Bai Quinn only marked the starting position and the ending position, and explained which props needed to be destroyed in the middle, who of the two had the upper hand first, who got back at what time, and what the situation was like at the end.

.

After being given this information, Randy, as a wrestler, will figure out the general situation and point out which key points he plans to use and which moves.

The two sides did not have a strict arrangement of you punching with your left fist first and then blocking with your right arm, then kicking with your right foot and then stepping back. Most of the fighting relied on on-the-spot performance, making the whole process look less like filming and more like actual combat.

But it is precisely this kind of actual combat action that makes the two people's action scenes look more real. When one person makes an action, the other person can react very quickly, either to block or to react to the attack, making that blow look more real.

Get up strong.

In fact, this is also due to the master and apprentice's many years of wrestling practice, their familiarity with each other's routines and habits, and more importantly, the tacit understanding formed by mutual trust.

Seeing this, Michael Buck, the president of Sony Classics, already had a general assessment of this film.

The style of this "Bonnie and Frank" is completely different from Wes Anderson's previous movie "Bottle Rocket". It does not have the common pretentiousness and personalization of the author's movies. It is simpler, more direct, and more commercial. It is

A qualified low-cost commercial film.

There are two selling points: the combination of handsome men and beautiful women, and the fierce action scenes.

Probably due to the limited budget, the proportion of action scenes was not enough, so I had to use a few not-so-funny comedy scenes to support the entire length of the film.

The real essence of the film is all in those three action scenes, which total about ten minutes. At least in Michael Barker's impression, no action film in Hollywood has ever used this kind of realistic long-shot shooting method with partial slow-motion shooting.

Anderson created a new genre.

Michael Buck judged that this is a film that is expected to win more Audience Choice Awards at Sundance.

It’s just that the current situation is a bit embarrassing. Sony Classics is promoting another movie at the Sundance Film Festival this time, "The Barbecue". It is a feature film with a female protagonist. Public relations and promotions have already started. Michael Barker

I have also enjoyed my share of the sweetness, and now even if I buy this movie, there is no way to publicize it for the Sundance Film Festival award.

The camera gradually zooms out from the dining table where Bonnie and Frick are dining, through the window to the exterior of the restaurant, and then continues to move back from the street scene to the brightly lit New York City. The music of "It's my life" sounds again, and the film's

The plot part ends and the theme song and subtitles enter.

The lights came on, and Michael Barker made a decision in his mind. The award-winning route for "Tough Man BBQ" remains unchanged. He must buy "Bonnie and Frank". This typical commercial film does not need the blessing of awards, but it can definitely bring success.

Considerable box office revenue!

Is it possible that the distribution rights will be downgraded to protect "Tiehan BBQ" from being impacted by this dark horse that unexpectedly breaks in?

How much did it cost to produce Previous Snoops?

It seems like less than 700,000 US dollars? It’s even lower than the 800,000 US dollars for “Tiehan BBQ”!
Chapter completed!
