Chapter 1119 The most critical part
Thanksgiving is coming, and before the holiday begins, Lindsay Bill, who served as producer of Twilight and The Hunger Games, returns to Los Angeles specifically from the location set to discuss new youth film plans with Ronan.
In the office, Ronan looked at Lindsay Bill and asked, "I heard that "Grey's Fifty Shadows" is very popular?"
Lindsay Bill held his eyes on his delicate face and replied: "Yes, he has entered the top ten bestsellers in the New York Times." She thought for a while and said in detail: "If this series is calculated, it is already the champion of the rankings, but the bestsellers currently do not count e-books, but only the sales of traditional paper books."
Ronan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter."
Lindsay Bill said: "At present, on the Internet, the electronic version of "Grey's Fifty Shadows" can be sold every two seconds. According to Random House statistics and expectations, by 2010, the sales volume of the entire series is expected to reach about 100 million copies."
"In this case, it has the value of adaptation." Ronan said slowly: "Readers alone can support the box office of adapted movies."
Lindsay Bill has been living in Hollywood for many years and has seen the ups and downs. He has no shame and said directly: "In addition to book fans, the abuse plot will attract a large number of Stockholm patients or potential patients. According to medical data, there are huge people in this regard."
She thought for a while and added: "If the filming is done on a large scale, it will attract a large number of ordinary audiences."
Ronan knew very well that no matter how to shoot such a movie, the scale could not be comparable to the art films in the San Fernando Valley, but the appeal of the two was completely different. This kind of commercial film that was screened in the theater had an indescribable attraction to movie fans.
If the person who appears in the camera is still two Hollywood stars, the attractiveness will double.
For example, those photos and videos exposed by celebrities such as Hollywood, such as Big Cousin, can they compare to the top female artists in the San Fernando Valley, regardless of appearance or figure?
But the general public will not read the art photos and videos of female artists again after reading them once. What about those from Hollywood? The clarity of those is worrying and the scale is not particularly large. I guess many people still read it over and over again and enjoy it.
The psychological feelings are completely different.
Ronan asked Lindsay Bill: "You are responsible for the books, and the movies are also responsible for you, what plans do you have in the future?"
"The Twilight Series has entered the final stage of shooting," Lindsay Bill said roughly: "According to our plan, "Eclipse" and two "Dawn" will be filmed together to avoid the possibility that the actors will get older. At the latest, I will be able to end all productions of "Dawn" in the middle of next year. At that time, in addition to the Hunger Games that continue to be executed, I can also operate "Fifty Shadows of Gray"."
As a producer, Lindsay Bill controls the production of two series at the same time, and it feels like it is still within the scope of tolerance, and no one knows these three series better than her.
Ronan thought for a little while and said, "Yes, you can grasp the specific progress." He reminded, "You must grasp the standard."
Lindsay Bill nodded and said, "I have specifically measured that the film will be released on the largest scale of the R-level. The key to the success or failure of this film is also the scale. Also, I have carefully considered the candidates for actors. It is impossible for those who invite first-line stars. Ordinary actors lack attractiveness. The best choice is the second-line stars with a relatively famous Hollywood."
Ronan praised: "Lin Sai, you have grasped the most critical part of this project."
Lindsay Bill smiled and said, "I plan to find a model-based actor...how can I say, they have more advantages in this kind of movie."
This view is very correct. Many Hollywood actresses have the so-called temperament and aura that rely on clothes to support themselves. Taking off clothes and figure is really average.
In contrast, models have obvious advantages in this regard.
Of course, it is not the traditional European female model, and no one likes to see the skinny and terrifying appearance on the screen.
Lindsay Bill said: "The heroine's first choice is Candice Swanepool, and I've been in contact with her once."
Ronan had no intention of intervening: "Just do it."
Of this type of film, handsome men and beautiful women with good figures are essential.
Lindsay Bill said at this time: "I talked to George a few days ago that if the adaptation of "Fifty Shadows of Gray" goes well and the results are good after release, we plan to plan another related series, and Netflix is also very interested in streaming."
Ronan nodded: "Yes."
Why do I feel like Netflix streaming is gone on a large scale and never looks back?
Well, online dramas, etc., no one can watch them if the scale is small.
Even if the content of Huang Bao drama is very poor, it can always have a certain survival market.
As time goes by, the dramas on Netflix streaming media are inevitably affected by the Internet, the carrying platform, and the scale is gradually increasing.
Of course, these are all fundamental changes in ensuring the quality of the series.
For example, in "Game of Thrones", it is normal for several major female characters to take off naked in daily life. The British actress who plays Dragon Mom also continues to use the advantages of women to gather dog lickers to play.
To a certain extent, the process of Dragon Mom establishing power is like interpreting "a story of a goddess and her dog licking people."
The entire series looks ruthless and kills each character without mercy, but the heroes and heroines can no longer be cheated.
In the past drama, Daenerys's rise was like a cheat, but he was so frustrated that he probably would jump out and curse.
"Spartacus" has also been launched on Netflix's streaming platform. The drama has a larger scale and basically has no plot. Apart from killing, it's just grass, but the subscription volume is quite high. Many people urged to release the second season as soon as possible after watching the first season.
In addition, Shahai Entertainment has also prepared a series for Netflix streaming, which is comparable to HBO's late-night drama, called "Pleasure and Pain". The heroine is Marlena Morgan, who just debuted in "The Loft" this year, and the director is the famous Zalman King.
This director has many famous works, such as the famous "Red Dance Shoes" series.
"Wild Orchid" is a recognized classic movie.
Also, "Sunshine Girl" written by Lindsay Bill and directed by David Finch has always received a good market response. After entering the DVD market, it has long been ranked among the top ten in the DVD sales and leasing list. According to the first-line survey data obtained by Embassy Pictures, Shahai Entertainment is also preparing to adapt the movie into a drama, focusing on the huge special group of practitioners behind the heroine Sasha.
In today's era, whether it is true or false, we all know that there is such a special industry group, and there are more and more practitioners, and many people even have other jobs that seem quite good on the surface.
The reasons behind this are very complicated. Some people may be forced to do so, but after summarizing it up, it is not difficult to find that it is better to make money by lying down than to stand.
This phenomenon can be contagious, one drives a piece of people around, and there is a piece of people soaking in the river around.
Speaking of which, this is not a good phenomenon.
But what is even more shameless is definitely not them, but some people pretend to be deaf and dumb, as if they were saints without knowing it, but they also brought a recorder and a camera to interview and secretly take videos. When the other party made some moves, they refused in shock and called the police, and then published the collection fee on TV or other media...
Such people are common, just like Batman who fights sin in the dark night of Gotham.
Ronan has seen the script of "Sunshine Girl" adapted from the massive data collected by Lindsay Bill and David Finch. There are similar plots in it. Those men are more greedy than these practitioners hiding in the dark.
In order to consider the authenticity of the series, Netflix is also doing related work, soliciting real cases by publishing advertisements, and then authorizing adaptations.
Many people are willing to make money by lying down, so they naturally don’t mind selling their experience and making another profit.
To be honest, not to mention looking at a certain state or county, or the entire Los Angeles, even a small satellite city, there are quite a lot of practitioners hidden in the dark in this regard.
They may not be as high-end as Sarah in "Sunshine Girl", but they also have their own target customer base, thus realizing their dream of high income.
Unfortunately, these people may be relatively easy to make money, and many people are not smart enough to transform into agents. When they are old and lose their sex life, their fate is often very miserable.
Those who can successfully transform into brokers may make more money and their careers will last longer.
Some of them are particularly smart and even gather huge amounts of wealth.
For example, Heidi Flace and Michelle Braun, who were once famous in Hollywood, also got up step by step and almost monopolized the high-end market in Hollywood. It is said that even Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz have enjoyed the "escort" service provided by the latter.
However, Heidi Flace and Michelle Braun went to prison one after another. The latter was trapped by FBI as a customer for "fishing". The former probably thought that the illegal income earned was not taxable. He concealed actual income and taxes for several consecutive years, and was directly approached by the IRS.
The result of being targeted by the IRS is imaginable.
Illegal income also has to be paid taxes, which is a lesson learned by American criminal organizations for blood and tears.
