This director is very reliable

Chapter 479 Alienated a lot (Part [-])
Why Rampage?
Because it's pure popcorn, and it's... profitable.

If Shen Changlin wants to invest in Hollywood blockbusters, he must choose one that can make money.

He is not a fool, knowing that the profitability of this project is not good, he still wants to raise it?

Otherwise, he'd be doing Terminator or Blade Runner...

"Terminator" and "Blade Runner" have so many feelings!
But the feeling of stepping on a horse can’t be eaten as a meal. These two series are huge pits, and they can’t be saved—the times are different, and even Shen Changlin can’t get the right to direct.

When he came to direct these two films, the first thing he had to challenge was the entire system.

The system has changed. In the early years, those who were born in the film industry and saved their fortunes through movies, represented by Mario Caesar, Andrew G. Wagina, these bigwigs, died and retired. The last representative, Harvey Weinstein, has also been out of the game because of his style of life, thus ending an era.

Today’s big money lords in the industry are pure businessmen who came from professional managers like Bob Iger... They don’t need talented directors, or movies with great reputation, they just need popcorn produced by the assembly line…

You have an idea, you have an egg, they don't care what you think!

Pulling back, "Revenge Behemoth", a summary of the plot in one sentence: monsters vs. big-breasted men...

It can be seen from the title that this thing has no cultural barriers...

But if it is made into a Sino-US co-production... it will be a bit difficult, you can't change the scene into Edinburgh, right?

Just like "Godzilla", just forget about the investment.

There must be three conditions for a routine popcorn movie: a destroyed big city, an incompetent government army, and a villain with a problematic mind.

"Revenge Behemoth" is the same, everything, including the application of elements such as nonsense technological genes, is actually paving the way for the final monster battle.

After watching too much, of course I feel tired and crooked, but... It's pretty good to watch a few of them!

Not every audience who enters the theater wants to see the complexity of human nature, the cruelty of the world, the darkness of those in power, the powerlessness of all living beings, the cruelty of fate, the indifference of the torrent of history, etc. from a movie...

Just want to feel the stimulation of the senses!

In addition, there is another point. A few days ago, Shi Shi said that she wanted to participate in a Hollywood blockbuster. Of course, Shen Changlin must fulfill her little wish...

"Revenge Behemoth" is the best choice after comprehensive consideration.

Suicide Squad or Wonder Woman?
He has no objection, the problem is that Warner must not dare to take this risk...

Moreover, he has no investment share in these two projects...

In fact, there are many projects looking for him. Summit Entertainment has the "God of War" series, Universal has produced "God of Hunting", Legendary has "Clash of Hackers", and even Warner has other projects besides "Revenge Behemoth" There is "The Return of Tarzan: Adventure in the Jungle"...

All of them are loss-making projects!
It is impossible for Shen Changlin to participate in these projects for the sake of his girlfriend...

While thinking about it, I chatted with the screenwriters, similar to the gene stimulation, the panda awakened the blood of Chi You, returned to its ancestors, and became a big beast...

Even the "Shan Hai Jing" was mentioned, such as Pixiu, Chaos, Taotie, Qiongqi, and Wuwu were all pulled out...

Of course, this is just nonsense, after all, I'm too busy... "The Finale of Four Famous Detectives" really sucks!
As soon as the plot comes out, it comes out...

The lines are too mentally retarded, such as 'As long as there is shadow, there must be light', 'I always thought that everything is moved by the heart, but it turns out that the heart is also a reckless move! ''Whoever wants to live a long life, what I want is to enjoy. '

That's why the screenwriter himself thinks he's awesome, yet he can come up with such inscrutable lines...

Honestly, how boring does a director have to be to make such a boring movie, and how boring must the actors involved be to deceive their own feelings?
What a waste of time!
After finally making it to the end of the movie, you can’t leave, you have to listen to their nonsense, Chen Jiashang said with various emotions: “It’s a bit incredible to be able to complete three plays, and no one has ever had the opportunity to keep the original cast of the three films completely unchanged.” .There are not many four years in life, but the four years of the actors have been given to me, thank you! '

Are you worthy of the actor's four years of dedication?
……

After the premiere, Shen Changlin couldn't wait to leave, he didn't even have the idea of ​​saying hello to the creators...

But he was still stopped by the reporter and asked him his opinion on "Four Famous Detectives Finale". After holding back for a long time, he said: "...the imagination is very... In short, it is a very creative movie!"

""The Megalodon" has exceeded [-] million US dollars worldwide, has the sequel started?"

"...the script is already under development..."

The reporter is quite savvy, knowing that Shen Changlin will not answer the question about "The Finale of the Four Famous Detectives" with a high probability...

It's normal, everyone is in the same circle.

It's like Shen Teng's reverence for "Four Seas"-I personally like "Four Seas" very much, and feel sorry for Director Han Han...

Of course, it's useless, most netizens can't empathize with "capital", so instead of feeling sorry for Han Han, it's better to feel sorry for your wallet for buying tickets.

That being the case, it is better to ask some questions that are more interesting to readers.

"How much does Changlin Film and Television invest in "The Megalodon"?"

"...The total cost is 1.6 million US dollars, but we shoot in New Zealand, so, 30% tax rebate, plus advertising placement, the basic production cost is 1.1 million US dollars, but the publicity cost is 6000 million US dollars, so the total cost should be Around 1.7 million, Changlin invested almost 9000 million US dollars..."

"Will that make a profit?"

"Of course, we signed a global account sharing agreement." Shen Changlin looked at him with an idiot look: "Otherwise, why would we make a sequel?"

"Can you tell me about how much profit you make?"

"...I don't know, according to the calculation, it should be around 5000 million U.S. dollars..."

Shen Changlin was messing with the reporter, Liu Qianqian, including Deng Chao, had a bad face...

It's not that they lack judgment, and it's not that they haven't acted in popular works. It's obvious that "Four Famous Catchers Finale" is not considered a good work, and it's even a little short of passing the pass!
The story logic of the script is too poor!
The villain, the final boss was stabbed to death by a hairpin!

The various high-ranking figures set before have gathered the characteristics of Ding Chunqiu and Ren Woxing. After absorbing the internal strength of countless people, the big boss, Old Man An, finally cultivated himself into an invincible villain...

Then I was stabbed to death by Zhuge Zhengwo with a hairpin...

This... Nima, "Martial Arts" is a lightning strike that killed the villain after all, you are so unreasonable!
In fact, the questions from the reporters and the media can also be seen that people don't care about the content of this movie. The main question is "Recently, what do you think about the recent drug abuse and frequent ticket warehouses in the circle..."

What can you think?
Of course it's 'I'm so sad...' 'A lot of things are untouchable, don't take chances. '

Liu Qianqian was even more embarrassed, because some media asked her, "It has been rumored that you will star in the sequel of "League of the Lost Treasure". The official lineup was announced the day before yesterday, starring Yang Xiaomi... What do you think?" '

Damn, can I speak the truth?
"I have contacted, but I have already signed the two dramas "Night Peacock" and "The Third Love", and there is no schedule..."

If you lose, you don't lose!

You can't say 'I didn't meet the producer's needs, so they kicked me out...'

……

"Director Chen...Brother Wei, Brother Chao...Sissi!" Still unable to escape, at the exit of the press conference, Shen Changlin ran into several main creators of "Four Famous Catchers"...

Bite the bullet and say hello!
Deng Chao warmly shook hands...

Wrinkle Zhaolong said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you, don't call me Brother Wei, my name is Wrinkle Zhaolong, you can call me Old Wrinkle or Brother Long..."

"Understood, Brother Chang Wei!"

"...I can't hide!"

Chen Jiashang greeted warmly: "Director Shen also came to the premiere?"

"Well, Lao Wang called me and asked me to come over..."

"how do you feel?"

Shen Changlin didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "...It will definitely sell well!"

"thanks…"

Shen Changlin looked at Liu Qianqian: "Qiqian, don't you know me?"

Liu Qianqian took off her sunglasses and replied with a smile: "...How is it possible, you are my boss, how dare you not know me?"

Shen Changlin froze for a moment, he never expected her to answer like this...

I simply ignored her and looked at Director Chen Jiashang: "You guys have to catch a plane..."

"Yes, I'm going to Shanghai to promote..."

"Then I won't delay you..."

　Explain, something happened at home...

　　My dad is sick, and tomorrow he will go to the provincial hospital for an examination and arrange for surgery.

　　It is estimated that I will ask for leave tomorrow.

　　It depends on the situation, if there is no major event, I will definitely not change
