Chapter 602 602 It's cheaper for them 【Subscription】

If you are asked what your hottest movie series (universe) is now,
90% of people should answer Marvel Universe.

but.

Compared to Marvel,
Lu Chen might like DC slightly more.

Someone simply summed it up as "Marvel family carnival, DC black and dark",
Although the details are biased, there is a certain truth in this sentence.

The most direct impact of DC's black and deep disability is that DC has produced more interesting villains.

Among DC's villains, the most popular one is undoubtedly our ugly man.

Joker clown.

The first time the auctioneer published Lu Chen's hand-painted poster.

Many people immediately knew what Lu Chen wanted to shoot!
clown.

Especially seeing Lu Chen's hand-painted posters embedding the image of the clown into the most common playing cards.

Connect the faces of mortal Arthur and supervillain with a smile.

Many viewers' expressions changed inexplicably.

"It turned out to be a clown!"

"One of my favorite characters, the Joker."

"This reminds me of the movie Lu Chen made when he debuted in 07. It told me a truth. Other horror movies scare you.
It keeps me from being afraid.

A good horror film doesn't have to tell a particularly scary story, or it can tell a particularly good story, and it's great to put horror elements in properly.

The diving scene was so youthful and beautiful.

Several small actors are outstanding. "

"What that film does well is really create people's inner fears and nightmares, and most importantly, allude to a rather cruel, heart-wrenching reality:

In life, there are really too many threats to children. All kinds of wretched uncles, campus bullying and perverts will definitely scare all parents.

The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is that so many children open and close their mouths to swear, it looks very uncomfortable. "

"So, Director Lu's movie, is it a clown? He wants to put the clown on the big screen again? This kind of movie, if it's not made well, it might be criticized a lot, right?"

"..."

All kinds of discussions, both on and off the field.

Lu Chen knows the word "clown", which is enough for everyone to think of what the movie is going to shoot.

However, he is not afraid of others knowing,
When Cameron decided to shoot "Titanic", who knows what happened to the Titanic?
This one is also a movie that is not afraid of spoilers.

To be precise, there are no spoilers.

This is what he thinks,

Even if the poster is released on the spot,

The reason why it is okay to reveal the news of my next movie: "I think everyone has already understood, the clown, Tang Lei has created a classic role in Hollywood before. For this role, I think there is a deeper possibility. Therefore, I think Shooting it into a movie, of course, a movie is a movie, not a perfect reproduction of the facts, there are cases of artistic processing.

As for the theme, I won’t reveal it here. As for the more specific ones, everyone will know after the movie comes out, um, because the filming is difficult and the preparation work is quite long. "

The camera did not continue to focus on the poster.

But the poster has been exposed,

The person who bought the poster,

I didn't know at this time that this poster,
In the future, there will still be people willing to buy it at a higher price, just because of that movie...

Anyway, the charity dinner is over.

However, the story of the clown has spread across the Internet. The character Tang Lei created in Hollywood has directly triggered countless people's memories.

The plot was once again deeply picked up in various ways.

of course.

The news that Lu Chen was going to shoot the clown spread directly.

As for what kind of impact.

Lu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to whether it would affect Kashen or not.

nothing to be concerned about,
I have shown my cards.

If you are still worried, it is better to surrender as soon as possible.

Compared to this matter.

Lu Chen focused more on the charity dinner.

Lu Chen's charity dinner.

It can be said that it has achieved unprecedented success.
his charitable foundation,

almost just started,
He has hundreds of millions of funds, and these funds, with the influence of Lu Chen, are increasing, helping countless people in need.

And when it was reported that Lu Chen was going to adapt the Joker, many companies in the industry also responded.

Among them are the Hollywood Six.

They also made a request to invest in the film,
If it was before.

Lu Chen definitely refused without hesitation.
His films do not allow other film companies or foreign capital to intervene.

But this time is different.

If there is no escort from these big companies in Hollywood this time.

His movie is likely to have an accident in Hollywood.

Ok.

This is the truth.

First of all, "Joker" must be filmed there.

Although he is quite handsome now,
But Lu Chen still understands why a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake.

As for investment costs,

The cost of "Joker" is really not that high.

If Lu Chen remembers correctly.

The investment cost of the original version is only about 5000 million U.S. dollars.

Then it won a box office of more than one billion ugly dollars.

A typical example of small and big.

Profit of at least 6 million U.S. dollars or more,
Converted into Chinese currency, it is close to 40 billion!
Think how intimidating it is and how rewarding it is.

It can be said to be the most profitable comic film in film history.

Previously, comic-book adaptation movies with a box office of 10 billion or so had an investment of around 2 million U.S. dollars.

The investment of 5000 million ugly yuan in "Joker" is small and big,

It is considered a rare high rate of return in Hollywood movies in recent years.

but.

Warner, the distributor at the time, did not control too much investment in the film.

Before the film started financing,
Warner "sold" the copyright of the film to two other companies,
The film's box office revenue is also divided into three,
So Warner didn't earn as much as he thought.

Of course, this is a routine operation in Hollywood,

The investment of many films by major studios is diversified.
Warner's previous blockbusters "The Dark Knight" and "Mad Max" also had the participation of Legendary Pictures and Village Roadshow.

at that time.

"Joker" was not counted as an A-level blockbuster in the project evaluation stage,
Warner put it in the same box office category as "Mule" and "Hell's Kitchen".

Warner handles the investment portfolio of this film according to the usual operation,

It's just that I didn't expect a big miracle at the box office, which made the outside world feel that Warner "suffered".

Lu Chen thought of this question.

He also couldn't help but froze.

The rate of return is too high, and he is really reluctant to share the share.

Say without hesitation.

This is free money.

finally.

Lu Chen still decided to let go.

no way.

If you eat alone,
The risk is too great.

To put it bluntly, this is no longer a question of whether there is a risk.

But really risky.

Such a high rate of return.

It will make the big six jealous in Hollywood.

By the time,
Although it is not possible to let the film be released directly, it is okay to cause them some trouble.

therefore.

They have to let people in.

Lu Chen and the others had no reason to keep people out.

Not to mention people carrying people in sedan chairs.

But harmony is the most important thing.

So Lu Chen finally agreed to join Universal and Legendary Films among the six major Hollywood companies.

There is another advantage to this.

when future movies are released,
There will be a lot of slices obtained,
Because participating companies,
All have a huge theater influence,

This is still very secure for the box office,
Of course.

Be it Universal or Legendary.

I also understand Lu Chen's temper,

It is very unique to know that the world's No.1 director has control over the film.

No one is allowed to intervene in the specific shooting,
So the two intend to invest only with money,
When Lu Chen finishes the filming, we can release the movie together and share the dividends.

It's hard to say how much trust I have in Lu Chen.

This is the trust that Lu Chen built with a movie!

Lu Chen's movies don't lose money yet.
It is nothing more than a question of earning more and earning less,
According to Lu Chen's status in recent years,

He even made movies like the top three box office mushroom eggs,
It's not impossible either,
"This time it's cheaper than Hollywood."

Lu Chen in the office murmured.

If someone who is familiar with Lu Chen is around, he will definitely hear the displeasure in Lu Chen's tone.

be honest.

This time it's really cheaper than Hollywood.

Not to mention the investment thing.

Just the location.

That's right, it's the location of the scene.

Say without hesitation.

As long as the movie is released, the location of "Joker" will usher in a wave.

This is predictable.

past life.

With "Joker" showing in most theaters around the world.

Many elements in the film were captured by fans,

Among them, the stairs where clowns are dancing are attracting more and more attention.

Directly become a good place for fans to check in.

The staircase is located at 167th Street in the Bronx, New York.
The "clown" Arthur Frank in the movie has completed blackening or metamorphosis,

It was on this staircase that an impromptu dance was performed.

Countless movie fans can feel from this picture,

This dance is a symbol of the clown breaking free from spiritual shackles,
It is of profound significance to enhance the theme of the film.

Of course, many fans who like this movie are not satisfied only in the movie theater,
They came to the scene and had intimate contact with the stairs,

Most female fans will wear clown cosplay costumes and clown makeup,

The most important thing is that they will put on the same pose as the clown,

This sense of ritual makes them very satisfied, as if they can feel the state of the clown in the movie.

Then the place is straight up overcrowded.

That's for sure.

How to say this movie is also the highest-grossing R-rated movie in movie history,

Since there is such a ritual thing in the movie.

Fans of course want to experience it as a souvenir.

Maybe when I go to this place to take pictures, I have to queue up first.

Not only this place.

To know,
There are five classic scenes in "Joker".

The first is the long ladder just mentioned.

The second is the dilapidated shop where the clown works, the home and the passing theater.

Faithfully reproduced in the movie "Everything Must Go!!" The bleak clearing store,

It's a small store in New Jersey that used to sell clear furniture,

At the same time, next to it is the former Paramount Theater, which has closed down.
"Joker" came here to shoot the retro street scenes of the 1980s,
You can find the location of this theater by searching "Newark, NJ, 195 Market St" on Google Street View.

The third is the scene where the Joker joins the riot and shows a Chaplin movie.

Located in the Courthouse of New Jersey, this majestic building was built in 1906 for a whopping sum of over $300 million at the time.

The fourth is the street where the clown plays a chase with the police.

When the protagonist is being chased by the police,

He desperately scrambled in the busy street, and even crashed into a car and fell to the ground. This scene was filmed at the 170 station "Jerome Ave and E 170th St, The Bronx" in New York ,
Walking on the streets here is sure to instantly evoke scenes from the "Joker" movie.

The fifth is.

The archway the clown walks through.

Every time the protagonist walks on the street, the scene is bleak,

In fact, the archway in this scene of the movie was also carefully selected by the crew.
The location is near the Manhattan Bridge in Brooklyn, New York, and the filming location is the Dumbo neighborhood in North Brooklyn. Fans who like the "Joker" movie may wish to arrange a New York City pilgrimage adventure in the future!
These places must be real shots.

therefore.

Lu Chen didn't plan to find another place,
Just go to these places.

Film preparations are complete.

To be precise, it has already been completed,

If it weren't for "Collection of China", Lu Chen and Tang Lei might have joined the group by now.

but.

It's only a few days since Lu Chen and Tang Lei joined the team.

……

"Minister Luo."

In the office of the leader of the animation film department, the assistant's face was full of excitement: "We have finally completed the production of "Despicable Me 2". Next, we can ask the company's leadership to check the quality!"

"Already done?"

Luo Zhen stood up from the chair,

The mood is also a little excited,
half year ago,
Let's just say that this animated film is about to be completed,

As a result, it had to be readjusted due to some technical problems.
It was so delayed for half a year,
And now, this work can finally see the light of day!

Ok.

"Kung Fu Panda 3" has already been released.

Jiaxing Media animation department is now divided into two groups,

A group was working on "Kung Fu Panda 3", and this group completed the task on time.

"Kung Fu Panda 3" became famous once again.

Gained nearly [-] billion box office for Jiaxing Media.

As for the other group.

It was "Despicable Me."

It's just now done.

Although it is a little late, a good meal is not afraid of being late.

think of this,
Luo Zhen didn't bother,
The completion of "Despicable Me 2" has already made her very happy,

Almost immediately, he took out his phone and called Lu Chen——

"Let it be in the screening room in the high-rise area of ​​the company."

After receiving the call, Lu Chen was also in a good mood.
The production of animated films is more complicated than making films.
Every time a work is completed, it represents the hard work and sweat of countless people.
Although animated film projects are popular at home and abroad, they have already become popular.

Many companies have the strength to produce animated films,
But Jiaxing Media is still the overlord among them, far ahead!
From the script to the technology are top-notch!

Such a trump card, of course Lu Chen attaches great importance to it.

The degree of importance is even comparable to the previous "Eternal Loyalty",
So he immediately notified Zeng Jia and others to let the senior management come to the screening room,
This is also one of the benefits of Jiaxing Media,

Every time a new work is completed,

will let the high-level people meet,

Look at the results first, and then everyone expresses their opinions.

ps: There are no eunuchs, my fingers are injured, and I have been delayed for a few days!
