Light and shadow player

Chapter 624 Hans Zimmer
The big winner of the Lunar New Year file is definitely "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", and the film takes both Christmas and New Year's Day slots.

Performance was also strong after the holidays.

But this year’s Chinese New Year is relatively late, and there is still a relatively long period of time between the New Year’s Eve and the Spring Festival. During this period, Yuanyuan only lined up a big movie "Running Man", and no enlarged movie came in.

During this period, the Lunar New Year films released in December began to decline. In order to boost the popularity of the market, the General Administration released "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies".

Warner is dissatisfied with the fact that "The Battle of the Five Armies", which should have been scheduled for the Lunar New Year in December, was forced to adjust to January.

But after watching the actual performance of "The Battle of the Five Armies", there is nothing to say.

The three-day single-day box office of the first weekend exceeded [-] million.

It has become the most money-absorbing film since the beginning of 15 years.

The preparatory teams of "The Wandering Earth" are advancing nervously. Cheng Yu'an flew to the United States with the sound effects team of "The Wandering Earth".

Not to participate in the public relations season, but to invite people.

For the soundtrack of "The Wandering Earth", he wanted Hans Zimmer to do it.

The number one soundtrack in Hollywood, no matter what, Cheng Yu'an had to invite it in person.

Hans Zimmer has also cooperated with a big film company many times. The soundtracks of films such as "Kung Fu Panda", "Inception", "Sherlock Holmes", "Pacific Rim" and "Interstellar Crossing" all come from Hans Zimmer hand.

Hans Zimmer's biography will not be repeated.

The ability is really strong, and the quotation is really expensive!

Hans Zimmer's salary is more than 600 million US dollars, which is already the highest salary among soundtrack composers.

Even if Cheng Yu'an invites him and can negotiate a friendship price, it is estimated that it will not be less than 500 million US dollars.

Hans Zimmer has a team to support!

"Why hire him?" The sound team was not satisfied with Hans Zimmer's offer, "If you spend 600 million dollars to hire him, he may not necessarily do it himself, but he must be handing it over to his apprentices. With this money, how much do we ask the domestic team to do, Hans Zimmer wants 600 million US dollars, I can find Teacher Tanton, 600 million yuan can get it done."

It's not that Cheng Yu'an never thought of finding a domestic soundtrack, but wouldn't it be better to invite Hans Zimmer to market, and he also wants to cooperate with Hans Zimmer.

Tan Dun, Zhao Jiping and Zhao Lin's father and son are all top soundtrack musicians in China. What Cheng Yu'an thought was that if Hans Zimmer couldn't get a deal, he would look for him in China.

Although he didn't come to participate in the awards season, Cheng Yu'an couldn't really ignore it.

This year is a small year for the Oscars, and blockbuster films are almost extinct at this year's awards ceremony. The nomination list is full of literary films from various independent film companies.

"Birdman", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "The Imitation Game" and "The Theory of Everything" are four big hits this year.

"The Theory of Everything", a collaboration between a major film company and the British gang, is the biggest hit for this year's Best Actor - Little Freckle just won the Golden Globe Best Actor.

Cheng Lingfeng didn't think about publicizing the best picture and best director, and she was not blind.

The genius shots and editing of "Birdman" are there. As long as the academy is not blind, no one else can take away the award that belongs to "Birdman".

The point is that "Birdman" is a bit of a school old man — it's a satire on superhero movies.

Super-British movies headed by Marvel and DC are raging all over the world. Some old directors especially don’t like to see such movies, thinking that Super-British movies have poisoned the audience’s audiovisual: “The audience is no longer interested in the story itself.”

The irony of "Birdman" is really in the hands of the old men, and the quality of the film is not bad. Throughout the awards season, "Birdman" has always been the biggest hit.

The battle for Best Actor is between The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game.

At that time, these two notebooks were placed on Cheng Lingfeng's desk at the same time. Cheng Lingfeng chose Hawking, who was more "famous", and abandoned Turing.

And the North American distribution and Oscar office of "The Imitation Game" is Weinstein Films!

A major film company has taken on Harvey once again.

However, Harvey's targeted methods for "The Theory of Everything" were all resolved by Cheng Lingfeng and her team.

Playing with political correctness, Hawking is too politically correct.

Cheng Lingfeng can still invite Hawking to come to the platform in person, you dig Turing out?
And Hawking is getting older and more playful. In recent years, he is particularly keen to play himself in film and television dramas, and feels that he has acting talent.

Didn't he have a great time on The Big Bang Theory?
Therefore, he showed great enthusiasm for cooperating with the promotion of the film.

If you promote Turing's scientific contributions, I won't brag about Hawking?

Although serious academics know that Turing's contribution is greater than that of Hawking, Hawking's popularity among the people is much greater than Turing's!
Ordinary audiences don’t care about Turing’s contribution to computer science at all, but they actually saw Hawking on TV and on the podium. "A Brief History of Time" is placed in the bookstore and is the best-selling popular science in the world. reading material.

Harvey organized a group of scientists to popularize Turing for the public and praise Turing's greatness. This is a good thing. At least during this period of time, many people really understood Alan Turing.

But no matter how popular science is, Harvey can't hold Hawking himself on the platform of "The Theory of Everything".

After the final nomination list was announced, the film studio was banned from public relations. Harvey could only watch as Little Freckle won the Golden Globe Best Actor, the Hollywood Film Award for Breakthrough Performance Actor of the Year, the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role and the British Film Award. Academy Best Actor Award and many other outpost best actor.

Cheng Yu'an also looked at the performance of Oscar's outpost for a while, and then let it go. His goal was Hans Zimmer.

The two parties agreed to meet in Hans Zimmer's studio.

Hans Zimmer welcomed Cheng Yu'an's arrival and expressed his interest in Chinese science fiction.

But after learning that "The Wandering Earth" currently only has a script outline, and the specific script will take at least three months to come out, he hesitated.

The soundtrack artist also has to read the script, and he has to compose music based on the entire story framework and character characteristics.

"Cheng, I really want to help you, but Ni's script came out too late. I don't have much time later."

Cheng Yu'an asked him about his future schedule, and Hans Zimmer didn't hide anything: "Nolan is preparing for "Dunkirk", and I promised to help him. You both started up at almost the same time, and I really can't do anything."

"Dunkirk" is tentatively scheduled to launch in May 16, and "The Wandering Earth" is about this time.

"If you want, I can introduce you to Smith, who is also the best film scorer."

Hans Zimmer was referring to his right-hand man, Nick Glennie Smith.

Of course Cheng Yu'an knew about Smith, but the target of his trip was Hans Zimmer.

With Nick Glennie Smith, he might as well go back to China and invite domestic soundtrack musicians such as Tanton.

Hans Zimmer regretted missing "The Wandering Earth": "Cheng, you are the best director, I can only add to your film," Cheng Yu'an and Hans Zimmer roughly talked about "The Wandering Earth" Outline, "I believe that without my help, you can complete this movie perfectly, and I hope you can find a suitable soundtrack artist."
