This director is very reliable

Chapter 726 Stable Mentality (14)

After listening to Yang Xiaomi's story about her acting experience, Yang Fan suddenly asked: "Did you hear that it's a Hollywood blockbuster, and the director is Roland Emmerich, so I agreed without thinking about it?"

"Correct!"

"...be careful, there are a lot of liars in Hollywood!"

"fraud?"

Shen Changlin interjected: "The Oscar red carpet incident of Huang Shengyi and Yang Zhi is a typical case of being deceived..."

In the press release issued in advance, Huang Shengyi will become the "only Chinese actress invited" to the Oscars, and will soon join hands with the great actor Tom Hanks on the red carpet.

Then, the news came out: Passed out?

Contributed to Scandal of the Year!
Later it turned out that it was placed together...

The invitations are fake!

Yang Fan continued: "I just want to tell you that a certain crew has a great director or great actor..."

By the way, let me give an example: "The project of "Escape Plan" was originally going to be discontinued. The box office in North America is only over [-] million US dollars. Even if the disc sells well, it is difficult to recover the cost, but because the Chinese market is very hot …so, ready to launch the sequel…”

"Escape Plan" gathered Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, two veteran kung fu superstars teamed up, the North American box office only received 2500 million US dollars, and the box office in China was close to 4200 million US dollars...

"Sequel to "Escape Plan"? Blockbuster?"

"A B-level movie, I guess North America will not arrange a release, and the DVD will be released."

"What does it mean?"

"Generally speaking, movies that do not enter theaters and only release discs in the United States are called bad movies...There is no room for this movie in the mature theater market.

It's just that Chinese people have a good impression of the first film, so Hollywood and Chinese capital hit it off and used the sequel to tap the final value of the first film in the Chinese market.It is planned to reduce the cost and shoddy, otherwise how to make money?You see, there will definitely be first-line actor blessings at that time! "

Nonsense, the film is a well-known IP, and the heavyweight Stallone endorsed the finale of the film. It would be a fool not to seize this opportunity!
"Isn't this a lie?"

"That's right, it's a lie..." Yang Fan: "To be precise, they use Hollywood's signature to attract investment. They invest in projects that you think are good. This kind of cooperation is mostly bad movies... But it's not like it didn't happen. Miracles... "Lord of the Rings" and "Fast and Furious" have absorbed a lot of German funds, and the return on investment is 100%..."

"It depends on the specific person," Shen Changlin concluded: "Now the mainstream of Hollywood is remakes, reboots, sequels...Only a few directors have the right to do original projects..."

"Which ones?"

Shen Changlin looked at Yang Fan, who pointed his fingers: "David Fincher, Nolan, and Quentin... By the way, Woody Allen is also counted... In fact, traditional studios don't like David Fincher because he doesn't like Be obedient, and there is no guarantee that personality will bring success. Sony transferred the project of "Jobs" to Universal because of the poor box office of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

That's right, traditional studios like directors like J.J. Abrams, who has personality, but is obedient enough, and most importantly, makes money!

"Then according to you, many directors are unemployed?"

"You think too much, people's status is here!"

Shen Changlin added: "To be precise, as long as the director is bought by a big-name actor, his status is not low. Because up to now, the status of a big-name actor in Hollywood is still very high."

Yang Fan nodded: "That's right, Ben Affleck was planning to shoot "Life of Night", because David Fincher invited him to star in "Gone Girl", he put the whole project on hold!"

Yang Xiaomi was a little surprised: "You guys know so much about Hollywood?"

"...I don't know much about it, but we still know a little about "Independence Day 2"...At that time, [-]th Century Fox was looking for Chinese investors and approached us..."

"Why do you want to find a Chinese investor?"

"Because they know that the chances of this movie being a blockbuster are very low..."

Well, Yang Xiaomi mainly chats with Yang Fan...

She yearns for Hollywood very much. In fact, most actors all over the world are full of yearning for Hollywood—after all, it is the center of global movies!

But she didn't have time to learn more about...

Shen Changlin chatted with Ning Hao about the promotion work of "Manslaughter", starring Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, and the anti-one Cate Blanchett. Warner won 3400 theaters for the movie. A feature film with a cost of 6000 million U.S. dollars can already be regarded as trying its best...

"If you want to stay in Hollywood, I can give you the copyright of "The Evil Man"..."

"...Just like "Manslaughter", make an American version?"

"Correct!"

Ning Hao shook his head: "I'm too tired, I don't have the idea of ​​making new works for now..."

"Then you have a good rest, and by the way, conceive of "Alien"..."

……

"Alien" is "Country Teacher"...

The core of these two stories is that the advanced civilization wanted to destroy the civilization of the earth, and finally gave up.

The difference is that "Country Teacher" is a work about grandness and insignificance, full of philosophical meaning, and full of respect for teachers, while "Alien" is absurd and black humorous...

Ning Hao's style is black humor with gags...

The focus is also on the little people.

Here comes the problem, he is getting farther and farther away from real life...

"Alien" has lost its pyrotechnics, and even used nonsensical jokes, which is not normal!

In fact, "Alien" is not only a problem that Ning Hao has to face alone, it exists in every creator who started from the grassroots but has enjoyed success, such as Lao Jia...

So they are also looking for an appropriate role for their status.

Ning Hao transitioned to become a producer, and Jia Zhangke also started to be a producer...

It’s very good. Talented people come out from generation to generation. From the perspective of the general environment, it is they who take a step back to help more young people move forward, so there are movies with various types, rich themes, and high quality.

If they were all like the Beijing circle, they cherished themselves with their brooms and hugged each other to keep warm...

That Chinese movie is completely over!
……

After chatting with Yang Fan, Yang Xiaomi probably understood that "Independence Day 2" has a high probability of not being a hit.

Her idea of ​​breaking into Hollywood with this is about to fall apart.

Seeing that her expression was not quite right, Shen Changlin comforted him, "Don't be too sad... Actually, Hollywood doesn't mean much..."

"Why am I sad, I just took a job!"

Well, this kind of thing shouldn't be asked of her...

In the original time and space, after the release of "Baby", word of mouth and box office both collapsed...

The 'mainstream' media personally ended up targeting an actress who wants to transform, which is absolutely amazing!
After the negative comments about the movie spread, Zhou reportedly asked her, "Are you okay?" Yang Xiaomi asked back: "Which is good? What is not good? I just did a good job."

Regarding mentality, Miss Mi is really impeccable!

"How much do they pay you?"

"$60..."

"This is too low, do you look down on people?"

Yang Xiaomi rolled his eyes at him: "...it's already very high, and I'm not well-known in Hollywood!"

"But you are a top star in China, and they are looking for you because they want to leverage your influence in China," said Shen Changlin excitedly: "I think you can sit on the ground and raise the price, at least 500 million US dollars in salary! "

Yang Xiaomi was speechless: "...The problem is that if I disagree, they will find someone else!"

Shen Changlin didn't take it seriously: "Who can make you popular?"

"...much more popular than me, Sidan Shuangbing... By the way, my manager told me at the time that Yang Tianbao and Tang Yan were both fighting for this opportunity."

Well, forget that Miss Mi is not irreplaceable!
Of course, in Shen Changlin's mind, Sister Mi is his only idol.

Especially recently, I have been in harmony with each other for a week, and found the position that the other party is most willing to accept...

Ahem...

Yang Xiaomi looked at the surrounding street scene, and then asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to Jackie Chan..."
