People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. At this time, the recruitment situation of actors in "Transformers" also proves this. Those who entered were delighted, while those who failed to enter sighed with regret, and then continued to "roll up their sleeves and go into battle shirtless". There is no other way to win.
They would give gifts, bribes, sex, and all kinds of things. If they couldn't be delivered to Wang Shang, they would be delivered to the interviewer. He would not give up any opportunity.
Wang Shang knew that this would happen, but Wang Shang was also a non-pretentious person, so he would not stop it. However, Wang Shang absolutely abhorred things like that when a dispute occurred without cleaning the buttocks and spreading the word.
Fortunately, Wang Shangji has great prestige, and the people below him know the importance and know how to abide by professional rules.
The recruitment and selection of roles is in full swing, and every day there are rumors that a certain star has joined the "Transformers" crew, and he is just a supporting role. There are even foreign movie stars that are well-known to the Chinese people, such as Robert Downey Jr., who has a close personal relationship with Wang Shang, and Bu
Ryan, Jessica and others all joined in as guest stars, playing unimportant supporting roles.
The entertainment industry is in a commotion, and "Transformers" has taken up most of the entertainment talk.
Many film and television companies looked at all this with envy: "Why don't we have such good luck??"
"To sum up, everything is hype, everything is script, everything is mass base, and everything is caused by influence."
"It's better to find a good script. The fact that "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" have such high expectations has something to do with their novels, and "Transformers" is also a movie that has been planned a few years ago.
, it’s natural to have such a sensation.”
The success of "Transformers" is also a matter of Wang Shang, a unique Chinese director, and Tianwang Film and Television Company. What other film companies can do now is to look for good scripts and strive to produce a movie comparable to Transformers.
Not to mention the efforts of other film companies, all work on "Transformers" is proceeding in an orderly manner. The other actors are easy to handle, but the protagonist is a little more difficult to handle.
There is no doubt that the male protagonist must be Chinese, but he is related to the subsequent installments of the "Transformers" series, so we need to be cautious and cautious, just in case it happens like before, where the male protagonist gave up after filming three movies.
The scene where he quit the movie will definitely have a huge impact on the movie.
The heroine of "Transformers 3" in the previous time and space has been replaced, and the male protagonist and a large number of characters have been replaced in "Transformers 4". This has brought a lot of negative effects to the movie. Many fans expressed their opinions about "Transformers 4"
I am extremely disappointed, the protagonist has been changed, and I don’t want to watch it. This is not unreasonable.
Especially since the male protagonist who is the main character has been replaced. Can it still be this movie? He probably abandoned his martial arts skills.
The protagonist has always played an irreplaceable and important role in the movie. If you change it, the feeling will change.
In the previous "Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", because the protagonists have changed, everything in the plot needs to be completely re-invented. If "The Amazing Spider-Man" hadn't been so well-acted, the trademark of Spider-Man would have been ruined.
Lost.
Therefore, Wang Shang was very cautious in selecting male protagonists and did not dare to make any mistakes.
For the heroine, Wang Shang, considering the European and American markets, set his sights on Hollywood movie stars, Westerners, and movie stars with beautiful and sexy lines. Originally, Wang Shang wanted to support Shen Yao, who had been quietly studying below, but she was not that
She was a sexy star with a Chinese face, so she gave up.
Jessica, who has a good working experience with Wang Shang, is also a suitable actor. Unfortunately, she has a film contract and does not have enough time, so she can only play a minor role.
Starting from the beginning of July and ending on August 3, Tianwang Film and Television Company has issued interview invitations to a total of 30 young and well-known female movie stars in Hollywood. From movies to reality dramas, all female stars who feel that they are suitable for both American and Chinese aesthetics include Christine
Stewart, Blake Lively, Amanda Seyfried and Emma Roberts were all invited.
So far, a total of 22 people have responded, and they all said that they already had schedules and regretted that they could not participate in the film. Some movie stars also expressed that they were honored and a little flattered by the invitation to "Transformers" and earnestly hoped to have the opportunity to do it again next time.
cooperate.
Regardless of whether you are perfunctory or not, perfunctory itself is a kind of attention.

On August 13, "Resident Evil 2" has been released in theaters around the world for 25 days. After today, it will be released in North America.
The world's most famous Internet movie evaluation platform imdb gave "Resident Evil 2" a score of 8.5, which is 'very good and recognized as a masterpiece'.
The evaluation of this movie is: the dazzling monsters and superpowers, the compact and reasonable plot editing, and the advanced sound effects make people excited, and the struggle of human nature in the end of the world also gives the movie the deep connotation it deserves.
It is an excellent work.
In sharp contrast to the high reviews is the box office of "Apocalypse 2". As the first victim of the US film introduction restrictions, the box office of "Apocalypse 2" can be said to have been cut off.
In the 23 days from July 20 to August 11, "Apocalypse 2" took in a total box office of US$200 million in North America. It is estimated that when it is released, the total box office in North America will only reach about US$220 million.
Compared with the 338 million that the first film earned in North America, the gap is not small. This is despite the fact that North American theaters are desperately trying to increase the film schedule for "Resident Evil 2".
Some other countries around the world, due to restrictions from the United States, have also introduced policies to restrict "Resident Evil 2", and the release time has been reduced to 20 or 30 days.
The shortening of the release time has had a lot of impact on the total box office data.
At this time, the total global box office of "Resident Evil 2" is 650 million US dollars. It is completely impossible to catch up with the first film's total box office of 900 million US dollars when it is released worldwide. It is estimated to be around 750 million US dollars.
Many people in China lamented this.
"Comparing the first movie and "Fast and Furious 2" which was released in time, I have to say that the restrictions introduced by the United States were so sharp that the movie suddenly lost 2 billion yuan in box office." - "China"
Film News.
"It will be more difficult for future movies to hit the global box office charts." - Citizen Daily.
"The reason is that the domestic film market is not mature enough and cannot withstand the large-scale impact of global films." - "Oriental Entertainment News"
The American media also joked that China's film market should be fully opened, so that American film restrictions will be lifted. However, this is basically impossible.

"Transformers" cast interview waiting room.
Several young actors sat on the chairs with sweaty palms. At the same time, they looked at the others with vigilance and hidden hostility. Then they looked at the door in the waiting hall with burning eyes. The heat seemed to be able to melt the door.
Burn through.
The room inside this door is the place where the protagonist of "Transformers" is interviewed. As long as you succeed, you can turn into a dragon when encountering a storm, and you will no longer be a person slowly struggling at the bottom, with money, honor, and even... a beautiful woman
, at your fingertips.
However, they did not dare to relax at all, because the 10 people who had just entered came out dejectedly. Although they were grateful in their hearts, they were also very nervous. Moreover, there was a character they admired or envied sitting inside, "Transformers"
The leader is Wang Shang, who can be called an entertainment genius.
All in all, it's a lot of pressure.
In the interview hall, Wang Shang rubbed his temples and felt a little headache: "The quality of these people is average."
Assistant director Michael Bay, who grew up in Hollywood, also said calmly: "Compared to young actors in Hollywood, these actors just now are too impetuous. Being ambitious is not a problem, but being impetuous is very serious."
Several other interviewers looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This was already the best actor they had selected, but he was rejected by the director and assistant director.
An interviewer suddenly suggested: "How about... find someone to borrow from another film company?"
"Lending people? Isn't this cultivating stars for other companies??" The other interviewers felt confused.
Wang Shang was silent, playing with the pen in his hand and saying nothing.
Several actors completed the interview quickly, and then left dejectedly under the cloudy sky.
On August 15, the official website of Tianwang Film and Television Company suddenly announced an announcement that surprised countless people: "Major film companies across the country can select young actors with good acting skills and image (limited to two places).
"Transformers" cast interview."
After the news came out, major film companies immediately became excited.
"Haha, Mr. Wang is such a good man."
"You actually gave the opportunity to us outsiders??"
"Tianwang Film and Television did not take the wrong medicine??"
