I really don't want to be red

Chapter 2106 Appeal

Soon, Cage brought Travolta to the set.

An Ran was sitting on the director's seat, and the two of them didn't disturb her.

But the rest of the cast and crew were pleasantly surprised.

Travolta was an idol in the 70s. He became famous in the 70s, exploded in the 80s, fell silent in the second half of the 80s, and reemerged in the 90s. He can be called a legend.

The boss invited Travolta here too.

When the filming of a scene was over, the assistant next to him told him that Cage had brought Travolta here.

An Ran just came over.

Hold out your hand, "Welcome, welcome!"

Travolta is 188 cm tall and tall. Although he is in his fifties, as a star, he is still well maintained.

He looked like he was in his early forties.

With a smile on his face, that famous smirk.

Travolta's smile is famous, it always looks like a bad guy is smiling, but this smile is very handsome.

An Ran smiled and said: "Mr. Travolta, it's a great honor to meet you, I guess you agreed to my invitation!"

Travolta smiled "haha": "I'm also very happy to see Mr. An Ran, a legend in the entertainment industry. Since I'm here, of course I agreed to play the role!"

An Ran showed a sincere smile, "That's great, with the two of you here, this movie will definitely present the most exciting side."

The three walked while talking, and came to the rest area, where the staff served coffee and green tea.

Travolta took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. An Ran, I have a doubt that I need you to answer."

An Ran put down the cup, "What doubts?"

Travolta said: "Gunfight films are not popular now, and it is even difficult to get a good box office. There are not many special effects, and there are not many big scenes. It is difficult to attract audiences now, and we are old guys again! Even if you make a movie with a good reputation, I don't think the box office will be very good..."

An Ran nodded, Travolta's analysis was quite right.

That's where his doubts lie. Why do you shoot him if you don't make money? It takes so much effort, and in the end it doesn't make money and you're tired.

An Ran said: "It's true that the market for gunfight movies is not big now, but I think with a good story to back it up, the box office of this movie will not be bad!"

"And the two of you probably don't know, you have more Xiazhou movie fans than Xizhou movie fans!"

"Even if Cage is the king of bad movies, he still has great influence in Xiazhou, and no matter how many bad movies he produces, Xiazhou's movie fans are extremely eager for him to make a good movie to turn over!"

"And it's the same with you. What I've heard the most over the past few years is that it's a pity that you have produced too few movies. Cage keeps taking bad movies in order to pay off the debt!"

"You have to pay attention, everyone is sorry, and they didn't abuse like they did in Xizhou!"

"So, even if the box office is not very good in Xizhou, it will definitely sell well in Xiazhou!"

The two glanced at each other, and Travolta said, "Are we so popular in Xiazhou?"

There was a bit of disbelief in his tone.

An Ran said: "Don't doubt, Xiazhou audience is very nostalgic!"

Cage was also surprised. He knew that he was quite famous in Xiazhou, but he didn't expect the fans to be so strong.

He couldn't believe it and said: "I thought that Xia Zhou's audience would prefer Alex, or Wan Nida, these new generation stars, we are already out of date..."

"No, for foreign stars, the Xiazhou audience prefers you who have good acting skills! Of course, some people like young ones, but the fan base is far less big than yours!"

"There is another reason, you are the first batch of Xizhou movie stars that almost all Xiazhou people know!"

"Cage's "Into Alcatraz" and your "West Point Puzzle" are all lingering memories for everyone. Even after so many years, many people still miss them and think they are classics that cannot be copied."

"So, even if Xizhou keeps its capital, we can make money in Xiazhou, so you don't have to worry about the box office!"

After An Ran explained, the two nodded.

Travolta said: "Mr. An Ran, I am amazed by your generosity, how about this, to thank you for your trust in me, and thank you for re-enabling these old guys, I will charge 1000 million yuan, 5% dividends, and Kai Strange!"

An Ran smiled "haha", "I appreciate the kindness of you two, do you think my movie will probably lose money in Xizhou?"

"In addition to your salary, the gun battle movies are more expensive for those explosion scenes!"

"I'll give you 2500 yuan, Cage's 1000 million yuan, plus the other staff's wages, the salary here is 5000 million yuan!"

"Post-production, explosion scenes, and other locations add up to 5000 million! After all, it is a gunfight scene. If props are used for explosion scenes, it will save a lot of money compared to computer special effects!"

Cage said: "If we use computer special effects, although we spend more money, our scene can be bigger."

The biggest disadvantage of traditional prop blasting is that the scene is not big enough. You can't take the situation of large-scale blasting and blow up a real building?Or a real factory building or something, it is almost impossible to happen.

First, it is troublesome, and second, it costs a lot of money.

But it’s easy to use computer stunts. You can make this scene as big and big as you want, even big enough to explode the entire Xizhou.

An Ran laughed and said, "I'm going to use the old method for this shoot, all of which are live-action explosions..."

Live blasting?

The two were taken aback for a moment, then shook their heads slightly, "Oh, Mr. An Ran, you know it's very risky to do so."

Although there will not be too many explosion scenes in gunfight movies, live-action blasting is definitely the most expensive shooting method.

The 1:1 scale explosion scene was recreated, and then exploded at once. This behavior is costly and risky.

An Ran said, "What I want to shoot is a real gunfight movie of the 90s, so that everyone can recall the style of gunfight movies back then."

The two were stunned.

Indeed, most of the current movies are dominated by scenes, destroying the world at every turn, traveling through the universe, or falling apart.

There is nothing wrong with the scene.

But the more I look at it, the more I feel like something is missing.

The sense of reality is not strong enough.

This thing is a rather mysterious thing to say, you can say it is not real, but it is actually made by computer special effects.

And An Ran wants to shoot a 90s style?
It is indeed a bit exciting, but it feels too risky.

An Ran didn't care about the faces of the two, "You two, if you want, I can start filming as soon as possible. As for the current movie, I don't think I need to worry too much!"

Ledger and Gyllenhaal are in very good shape now, even if he is not there, it doesn't matter.

These two are enough to perform at the best level.

Travolta and Cage also wanted to start filming sooner.

Cage laughed: "I can't wait to start filming now..."
