Tianwang Film and Television Company announced the small film plan and quickly entered into the process of forming a crew.
Choose a director, choose actors, choose locations.
In order not to launch all at once and cause resource constraints, we first started working on five films, including "If You Are the One", "The Road to Misfortune", and that horror film.
Although there are many movies and many actors are needed, the progress of recruiting actors and film workers is very fast, especially those scripts with Wang Shang as the screenwriter. Because Wang Shang's name is there, there are many
Actors came eagerly for interviews, and even some well-paid movie stars couldn't help but take the initiative to lower their salaries in the hope of gaining Wang Shang's favor.
When Wang Shang's scripts were published, being able to act in them must be a very good qualification. Less famous actors may soar to the sky because of this, as evidenced by the hundreds of actors who were brought out by Wang Shang.
Many directors in China also express their strong interest in these five movie plans and hope that they can direct one of them.
Soon, the director and actors of "Midnight Taxi" were all assembled, and the crew quickly started arranging various supplies. The production was officially launched in less than a week, which is extremely fast.
However, Wang Shang did not focus on this at this time. Instead, he has been scheduling and directing the "Transformers" special effects team to relocate from Los Angeles to Magic City.
In addition to various advanced computers, files, and system data, there is also a large special effects team composed of 500 special effects talents, including the King of Special Effects American Crude Oil personnel. There are also some rookies from China.
This large-scale special effects team is dedicated to serving "Transformers".
Maybe the special effects teams of "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" are not that luxurious.
It can be said that Wang Shang spent a lot of money on "Transformers".
The "Transformers" mission has been under the operation of this large team for several months, and most of the construction work has been completed, and formal CG simulation will soon be available.
3D CG is more complicated than 2D CG, because the same action details must be constructed to project dual virtual objects to the left and right eyes of the person.
The main reason why the special effects team was moved from Los Angeles to the Magic City was because "Transformers" was filmed in China, in order to improve the film production schedule and reduce the film cost.
This move by Tianwang Film and Television Company quickly attracted the attention of some interested people and the media.
"Why move the main force of the special effects company to China? Isn't it reasonable?"
"Does the special effects company have tasks that need to be completed in China?"
Just when they were getting curious, a piece of news came from somewhere: "Wang Shang is starting the filming plan for the "Transformers" movie."
And the gossip was followed by some 'evidence' support: "The nearly 10 billion yuan acquisition of the special effects company was officially prepared for "Transformers"; Wang Shang has not mentioned new movie plans recently; the movie technology has matured
, which can meet the requirements of the film production of "Transformers"; for "Transformers" King Special Effects Company has established a large-scale special effects team of nearly 500 people. The recent relocation is the relocation of the team."
Although it is hearsay, it has given various detailed analyzes and convinced countless people.
After the gossip spread, a bombshell was immediately dropped in the Chinese entertainment industry!
The media from all over the country flocked to the King of Film and Television Company like fishy sharks!
For a time, everyone in the Magic City Film and Television Alliance Base clearly felt that there seemed to be more reporters. This was especially obvious to the staff of Tianwang Film and Television Company.
Although the two series "Resident Evil" and "Fast and Furious" have achieved very high achievements, the one that attracts the most attention and anticipation is "Transformers" which has a huge fan base.
Unusual alien silicon-based life!
Rigorous and vast background system!
Hundreds of millions of fans around the world!
No matter what it is, it gives "Transformers" a tall and golden halo!
Soon foreign media also learned about the news. Many media came from thousands of miles away in great excitement, wanting to know the situation.
"Is "Transformers" really going to be filmed??"
They all want to know the answer.
In addition to the media, actors and film workers are even more impatient. They want to join this movie. And the big stars are no exception, even if they are a small part, they are willing!!
During this period, Wang Shang has received many calls from celebrities he knows, requesting to play roles in "Transformers". Liu Tianwang, Nicholas Hsieh, Robert Downey Jr., Bryan and others who are currently accepting roles in Hollywood
I also crossed the Pacific to call Wang Shang, the purpose was to ask for a role, even if the role was not good enough, it didn't matter.
Famous directors and others want to participate in this big production, so they can't even think about the director's position, only the assistant director can.
Fans and gangsters were extremely excited after hearing the news!
"Is it true? Is it true??!!"
"Very good!!!"
"I want to see!!!"
Every time there is news on the Internet that "Transformers" is about to be filmed, they click on it eagerly to see the real news.
The customer service phone number of Tianwang Film and Television Company was even more overwhelmed. Countless calls continued to come in 24 hours a day, and the call drop rate soared from 0% to 95%!
What I am asked about the most is news about the filming of the "Transformers" movie, and I even heard a lot of foreign accents! Foreigners are also crazy about "Transformers".
There has never been a movie that has been so horrifyingly popular without publicity or filming, not even "Fast and Furious" and "The Last Days"!
The anticipation for "Transformers" is terrifying!!
However, no matter how the media 'drilled' for information, they tried countless methods such as counter-intelligence, discord, stealing, and bribery. They were unable to pry out any information even the size of a germ from the always strict-mouthed Tianwang Film and Television Company.
"Boss, why aren't you promoting it now? Isn't "Transformers" being produced now? The opportunity is pretty good, isn't it?" Li Shuiyue can clearly feel the enthusiasm for "Transformers" outside these days. For Wang Shang,
Inaction indicates curiosity.
"Wait a minute, the 3D camera is almost completed. When it is about to be completed, I will promote it. It can be used to numb "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" during this time. I want to be in front of them.
It's released." Wang Shang's eyes flashed with light and were extremely sharp. This was a reflection of firmness and confidence.
"'Lord of the Rings' and 'Harry Potter'? Are these two great movies?" Li Shuiyue tilted her neck and asked curiously. These two movies have appeared in the boss's mouth many times. This has never happened before.
Even "Spider-Man 3" did not put any pressure on the boss. The boss is always confident, but it is obvious that these two movies put a lot of pressure on the boss. "Is it because they are best-selling novels?
Or is it because they are 3D?"
Wang Shang smiled but said nothing.
After a week of hard work, Tianwang Film and Television Company didn't even give a damn. Instead, it exhausted these reporters.
Just when they were dejected and wanted to leave, on July 8, "Fast and Furious 2" was released worldwide.
From May 15th to July 10th, "Fast and Furious 2" will be released for a total of 55 days.
After the third day, the authoritative U.S. box office statistics agency soon announced relevant box office data.
People in China were stunned when they saw it.
In China, it directly won the highest box office in film history of 1.4 billion yuan, equivalent to US$140 million, and the release period was as long as 70 days!
North America grossed US$380 million, becoming the top box office hit in North America since the beginning of 2008!!
In South Korea, it directly crushed all the movies one by one, and the box office was more than the total box office of all movies in the same period!!
In Japan, it grossed a crazy box office of US$120 million.
In Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia...in major movie markets around the world, the box office of "Fast and Furious 2" can be said to be a hit!! Breaking countless records along the way!!
Global, total box office... 955 million US dollars!!!!
It became the highest-grossing movie since the beginning of 2008! The first movie to exceed 900 million!!
At this time, the top five box office grosses in world film history were once again refreshed.
"Titanic" and "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace" still ranked first and second; "The Lion King", which originally ranked third with $950 million, had no choice but to abdicate, handing over the third place to
After watching "Fast and Furious 2", he was relegated to fourth place.
As for "Resident Evil 1", which originally ranked fourth, it dropped one place and ranked fifth with a box office of 930 million.
For the first time, the top five in the total box office list in film history have become the US$900 million club. Without US$900 million, there is no way to join.
When the news came, the Chinese media went crazy again.
Cheers boiling!!
Celebrate that China has another movie with a terrible box office!!
They are rushing to release this sensational big breaking news!
"The box office is booming! US$955 million!!" - "I just received news from the authoritative US box office statistics agency that "Fast and Furious 2" produced by Tianwang Film and Television Company successfully earned US$6 million globally on the last day, successfully pushing the box office to a new level.
As high as 955 million!"
"The third highest grossing film in history, made in China!" - "I can no longer describe my mood in my words. Is it excitement? Or excitement? (Haha, please allow me to be so naughty)"
"Two of the top five movies in film history are from China!!" - "Chinese movies have finally begun to rise. One is fifth and the other is third. No one will dare to underestimate Chinese movies anymore!"
Once again, Chinese films are ahead of all other countries (except North America)!!
Those countries with more developed film industries became jealous once again after seeing this box office performance!!
What a shame!
And... I am envious, jealous and hateful!!!
And the film companies in Hollywood were silent!! I felt a little embarrassed! At the same time, I felt the pressure was rising sharply!!
At home, major media across the country have begun to praise Wang Shang as the screenwriter, and Yan Gang, the director. Naturally, the actors have received countless praises.
The movie fans are also crazy with excitement and extremely excited. The Internet and reality are full of praises for "Biopocalypse".
Internationally, the popularity of the creative team of "The Fast and the Furious" has once again increased, and the actors with familiar faces have already received many Hollywood movie invitations.
The global popularity of "Fast and Furious 2", in addition to bringing a lot of profits to Tianwang Film and Television Company and the distributor, also triggered a fierce tourism boom like the first movie. Especially the beach at the beginning of the movie
The pictures are so beloved by countless movie fans that they rush there from all over the world to experience the picturesque scenery there first-hand.
When the local government saw this scene, the whole government was filled with an atmosphere of joy: "Fortunately, the tax was low at the beginning, otherwise the fat meat would not reach the mouth."
The local residents naturally knew who the biggest contributor was and naturally became fans of "Fast and Furious".
There was even a parent who lectured his son: "You actually said you hate "Fast and Furious 2", I'll beat you to death~~~"
Filming locations in the UK, France, and various places also attracted many movie fans, and the tourism industry became more prosperous.
The hardest part is the city that originally rejected the "Fast and Furious 2" crew from filming the movie. At this time, I have to say that I already regret it.
