This director is very reliable

Chapter 538 Reminder (14)

"Ex Machina", "Escape Room" and "Hold Your Breath" have been produced and are ready to be released.

B-level movies have a really short cycle, and it takes up to 4 months from production to release.

"A Quiet Place", "Happy Death Day 2", and "Split" have been approved...

"Split," directed by M. Knight Shyamalan.

This is the god man, after screwing up six movies in a row, he returned to the low-budget horror genre, and the cost was only 900 million dollars...

M. Knight Shyamalan is very awesome. After filming the family comedy "A Basket of Little Ghosts" in 98, he shocked the film industry with "The Sixth Sense"-the cost of 4000 million US dollars, the national box office was 2.93 million US dollars, and the global box office was as high as 6.7 million!
It is worth mentioning that the producer of this movie is Telescope Entertainment, which is not a traditional major Hollywood studio, not even a medium-sized one.

Of course the publisher is Disney.

Telescope Entertainment later merged with the bankrupt MGM to form the new MGM Films...

After "The Sixth Sense", M. Knight Shyamalan completed the six-game killing streak of major Hollywood studios - "Return to Earth", produced by Sony Columbia, "The Last Airbender" produced by Paramount, "Destroyed" The Disaster” was produced by [-]th Century Fox, “The Banshee” was produced by Warner Bros., and the investor of “Mysterious Village” was Disney Touchstone. In addition, he was also the screenwriter and producer of “The Devil in the Elevator” produced by Universal Pictures.

These six works have failed to varying degrees!
Generally speaking, it’s justifiable to screw up one movie, and screwing up two in a row means that you are basically out of Hollywood.

This one, six departments, six companies!

Therefore, it was Changlin's turn to take over the project "Split"...

Shen Changlin remembers that the box office of "Split" was a hit. North America got 1.4 million, and the global score was close to 2.8 million US dollars!
Afterwards, "Mr. Glass" was made, and the world once again won a score of 2.6 million US dollars...

It's been reborn...

In addition, there are a few Shen Changlin who are not well-known, such as "Hell House", "Memories of Lost Souls", "Nightmare Cinema", "Terror Night", etc., are typical routine blood films...

The so-called routine plasma film is that most of the movies are about various massacres, with stumps and broken legs flying all over the sky, and the blood sprays like it doesn't cost money.

The selling point is blood plasma, so the production completion is generally very low, the story is clichéd, the plot collapses, the motivation of the characters is unclear, and so on.

Of course, the writers of Changlin Films are very good at poaching disgusting aspects of characters, such as the Virgin, the prisoner or the dude who fucks with his significant other behind his back...

In addition, another major reason for the stable audience of plasma tablets is the welfare factor.

Because of the low cost, the production process is fast, and all the young actors who are not famous are invited. These actors may only have this work in their lives.

Just for quick money.

What does this mean?
It means they are willing to do anything.

Plasma films have no plot, and if the focus of the whole movie is only on the few minutes when the protagonists are hunted down, then the movie will have too little to watch.

In this case, it is necessary to arouse the expectations of the audience.

And this expectation is naturally a welfare lens.

This is the reason why many B-level movies are looking for actors from Fernando Valley!
This kind of movie can’t make a lot of money, but it’s easy to pay back the cost. If you control the cost well, you can get back the cost if you sell it to Netflix. The box office released in theaters is a net profit...

Yang Fan's energy is low, probably because he chose too many roles...

According to him: "Many times, I don't need to speak, just with a look, the audition actor will take the initiative to unbutton his chest!"

Shen Changlin deliberately disgusted him: "...Is it the same with men?"

"I...I don't choose male actors. Male actors are basically recommended by female casting directors..."

Lao Guo was speechless: "Damn, the division of labor is clear!"

"It's really like this... There are a lot of young men and women in Hollywood who want to be in the top position, and they have all kinds of skin colors!" When he said this, Yang Fan's expression was a little weird: "I feel that they know the rules of casting B-level movies very well!"

"...what did you think of?"

"I'm thinking that maybe a lot of Hollywood actresses come here like this..."

Shen Changlin remarked casually: "Your Cameron Diaz is not, his first movie was "Transformers", which sold 3.5 million US dollars worldwide!"

Cameron Diaz became famous so smoothly. After "Transformers", he met "I'm Crazy About Mary"...

However, Yang Fan's other... concubine Sandra Bullock was not so lucky. She made her debut in 87, and only gained a little fame with "Speed" in 94...

"In comparison, at least our country is not that bad!"

"...It still depends on the self-cultivation of the person who has the decision-making power!"

"No, there is even a special vocabulary in English, called casting couch, translated into Chinese is contact casting, also called bed casting couch!"

Yang Fan continued: "Hollywood doesn't care if this is called unspoken rules, but the rules of the game. The filming is about to start, but the production team suddenly changed its decision and replaced the leading lady with the leader's goddaughter. This is called unspoken rules!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Whoever pays has the right to decide!"

Lao Guo sighed: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes..."

"... "

Several people did not speak.

Indeed, unless there is an extremely talented top actor, or a popular idol, someone will help you create a project...

Actor is a profession, a profession in an industry within the social system structure, and needs to contact and deal with people from all walks of life in society.

You are good at acting, but if you want to be number one or number two, someone recommends you, otherwise there are so many actors, why would I think of using you?

During the project approval stage of a film and TV series, the director, assistant director, producer, investors, and sponsors have dinner together, and the role may be given directly...

What can you do?
Only by joining them...

……

After simply drinking something, Lao Guo led Yang Fan and a few staff members to Xiaosha...

Shen Changlin didn't follow.

How could he be in a cool mood...

It's not about the anxiety about the Spring Festival stalls - "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart" is a sure win!

Whether it is IP power, theater selection, or ticket subsidies, including film standards, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Outsmart" is unique.

Breaking one billion is a sure thing!
Rather... he is also very tired.

The continuous shooting during this period was very nerve-wracking, plus the positive energy was taken away midway...

He just wants to go home and sleep now!
When I got home, it was almost 11 o'clock...

After changing his shoes, he went straight into the living room, and then...Yang Xiaomi was actually sitting on the sofa in the living room?
Eh?
Am I going wrong?

She rubbed her eyes...then saw Yang Xiaomi staring at him with a half-smile...

"you're back!"

Shi Shi came out of the kitchen, still holding a cup in his hand.

Shen Changlin walked up to her and took the cup: "What are you doing? Also, why is Sister Mi here?"

"I'm going to make a cup of coffee...but the water dispenser doesn't work...Sister Mi came home with me. She's going to fly to Xiangshan tomorrow, and I'm going to fly to Shanghai. Let's drop by!"

"...Shanghai, Xiangshan...how did you drop by?"

Shen Changlin complained while skillfully using the net drinking machine to make coffee...

Shi Shi explained: "Xiangshan Mountain is very close to Shanghai...and Miss Mi is going to hold an event in Shanghai."

"...whatever, I'll go upstairs and take a shower and then I'll sleep, I'm so sleepy..."

Shen Changlin walked back to the living room, greeted Yang Xiaomi, and went upstairs directly.

Yang Xiaomi looked at his back, turned to Shi Shi and asked, "He doesn't welcome me?"

"No...he's too sleepy, he's been sleeping since he came back yesterday..."

"Sleeping all the time?" Yang Xiaomi was a little surprised: "Isn't it because the two of you don't have a little love?"

Shi Shi was puzzled: "Little Bie is better than newly married?"

"It's just...applause for love!"

"...No..." Shi Shi looked at her, and then said, "How many times have I done this in the morning..."

"That's about the same. Let me tell you that you must be cautious. The little girls nowadays are too smart, and Shen Changlin is a famous producer and director. There are too many women who want to climb into his bed."

Shi Shi took a sip of his coffee, glanced at Yang Xiaomi, and said, "No..."

"Why not? Do you know what Liu Qianqian calls him in private?"

"...It's impossible for him to like Liu Qianqian!"

"Why are you so sure?"

"...I know his character...he won't like a stupid woman..." Speaking of Liu Qianqian, Shi Shi suddenly remembered: "The "Legend of the White Ghost" has been withdrawn again?"

Yang Xiaomi laughed: "Yes..."
