my movie years

Chapter 168 A whirlwind blows everywhere
As soon as the press conference was over, the director of Batman, who had been concealed for a long time, finally revealed his mystery, causing an uproar in North America.

Except for Warner Pictures' mouthpiece media such as the "Los Angeles Times", which reported more politely and only expressed doubts about the director's choice, other media were not polite.

"Warner Bros. executives have lost their minds. I think they should go to Arkham Asylum because they are crazy enough to choose a Chinese director to direct Batman." - "New York Times"

"The most stupid and wrong choice, the Chinese director used some kind of sorcery to get Warner Bros. to let him direct the Batman movie.

A failed choice, when will Batman complete his rebirth? ”—The Washington Journal

"Hope Chris Chang is as good at directing as he is sharp at speaking. Batman has been lonely for too long." - "Chicago Candide"

The media criticized Zhang Haozhang, and all kinds of denunciations, Warner Pictures executives were sprayed bloody by the media.

The media agreed that the top management of Warner Pictures should have just come out of the lunatic asylum, because only a lunatic would use a Chinese director.

On the North American Internet, Batman fans were devastated by the candidate for the director of Batman.

Countless fans gathered on the official website of Warner Pictures to launch a petition, demanding that Zhang Hao be replaced and replaced by another director. In just 24 hours, more than 20 people signed the petition.

It seems that Zhang Hao is really not trusted, and everyone is not optimistic about Zhang Hao directing Batman.

In this way, the top management of Warner Pictures couldn't help but start to doubt, and started an internal meeting to discuss the replacement of Zhang Hao and hire someone else to be the director of Batman.

But Jeff Robinov strongly supported it. He stated clearly at the high-level meeting: "Although Chris Zhang has no experience in A-level large-scale productions, he has a well-thought-out plan for the whole project."

Confidence is said in Chinese, and it is one of the idioms that Jeff Robinov and Zhang Hao have learned recently. Zhang Hao is also promoting Chinese idiom culture by the way.

Some executives didn’t understand the meaning of this word, so Jeff Robinoff briefly explained: “In ancient China, there was a painter who painted bamboo, but there was no bamboo forest around him. My friend asked him how to paint?
He replied that he had the appearance of the bamboo forest in his heart, so he didn’t need to look for the bamboo forest specifically, which is called being confident, because the final appearance of the film was already in Zhang Hao’s mind. "

In fact, the allusion of this idiom deviates greatly from Jeff Robinov's version, which is what Zhang Hao said in order to facilitate understanding.

As a competitor, Rick Solomon immediately asked: "What if the project fails?"

"It's my push, of course I'm responsible." Jeff Robinoff has a comprehensive understanding of the preparations for "Batman: Begins", and he is now confident that the film will be a success.

"That's good. If the project fails, I hope you submit your resignation to the board of directors." Rick Solomon smiled.

In his opinion, the film must have hit the market, and he must be secure in winning the position of president of Warner Pictures.

In fact, since Rick Solomon wants the film to succeed, he also wants the film to fail. This is not contradictory.Because Rick Solomon is a member of Warner Pictures, the company's benefits are closely related to him.

But on the other hand, he and Jeff Robinov are direct rivals in the competition for the president of Warner Pictures.If the reboot of Batman is successful, there is a high probability that the position of president will be Jeff Robinov.

So, the best thing is that "Batman: Begins" is a success, but not much, and it is far from the "Superman: Man of Steel" he is responsible for.

This way, you get the best of both worlds.

Of course, Rick Solomon will not make trouble secretly, but will cooperate with all the work of "Batman: Beginning of War", which is a must for a professional film company executive.

With the strong support of Jeff Robinov, Zhang Hao has retained the directorship of "Batman: Beginning of War".

And the news of him being the director of the new Batman movie swept across North America and spread to China like a whirlwind.

Because of the typhoon weather on the weekend, Zhou Yang and his wife canceled their travel plans and stayed at home instead.His wife was taking a nap, while Zhou Yang was bored in the living room watching the weather report on TV.

"...A few days ago, Typhoon Lania Kea landed on the southeastern coast of our country, and most of the coastal areas experienced heavy rain or even heavy rain."

Watching the broadcast of the beautiful hostess on TV, and watching the storm outside the window, it seemed like the end of the world, Zhou Yang was a little helpless.

Just then, a new message was pushed on the phone.

Zhou Yang saw that it was news about Zhang Hao. The headline said: "Chinese director Zhang Hao went to Hollywood to serve as a Hollywood film director."

"This unscrupulous media," Zhou Yang had heard about this matter a long time ago, but there was no news after that. Zhou Yang thought that Zhang Hao's trip to Hollywood was just a formality.

Although he thought so, Zhou Yang still clicked on the news.At this point, looking at the photos on the news, Zhou Yang could no longer move his eyes away.

At the event scene of a party in Beijing, Da Mimi dressed up and attended, shining brightly.After being nourished by Zhang Hao, she became more feminine, and she was nicknamed Young Wife Mi.

Based on the stability of the relationship between the two, some gossip media have begun to speculate that the two are close to good things, or they will tie the knot at the best.

Even Da Mimi went to the hospital to see a doctor because of a cold and was not feeling well. She was caught by the media, and the unscrupulous media began to arrange that Da Mimi was pregnant.

There are also media who have calculated a suitable wedding date for Zhang Hao and Da Mimi, and guessed which guests will be present.

It is conceivable that the marriage of Zhang Hao and Da Mimi in the future must be the focus of public attention.

But at the moment, the focus of the media is not this.

"Mi Mi, congratulations!" Fairy sister rarely eats a little bit of human fireworks, so she attended this party and sat with Da Mi Mi.

The two post-[-] top actresses sat together to attract attention and compete for beauty.

Da Mi Mi is also strange: "Congratulations to me?"

"You still don't know?" Sister Shenxian was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "The news about Zhang Hao directing the new Batman movie has spread, and now the whole country knows about it."

"Oh! It turned out to be this matter, Zhang Hao told me a long time ago." Da Mimi said he was not surprised.

Sister Shenxian smiled and said: "It seems that he doesn't hide anything from you, he tells you all such confidential things."

Sister Shenxian has envy and remorse in her tone, envious of Da Mimi's good luck, but Sister Shenxian knows that she can't.

The regret is that I didn't agree to Zhang Hao's invitation to star in "A Little Thing of First Love".

Look at that Zhou Yutong, who is now known as the number one actress born in the [-]s, catching up with the female stars born in the [-]s.

And the box office of "Tongque Terrace" starring her co-star Fa Ge is still unknown!
But it's no use regretting it now. Sister Shenxian has decided that she will accept any invitation from Zhang Hao in the future, no matter what the book is, and she can't waste the opportunity anymore.

Da Mi Mi is much simpler, she is happy for Zhang Hao, and accepts compliments from people around her, feeling proud and proud in her heart.

Who would have thought that the rookie director back then would be able to do this now, to direct a Hollywood movie, a $5000 million big production.

None of the national teachers had ever handled such a large project, and Zhang Hao was the first.

Since the news came out, not only the entertainment media, but also the political media, financial media, and netizens on the Chinese Internet have become overwhelmed.

Everyone enthusiastically discussed Zhang Hao's trip to Hollywood, congratulated him and was happy for him.

But not everyone is optimistic about Zhang Hao's trip to Hollywood, because the lessons learned from the past are vivid, and Cheng Long, the best brother, has come back in despair.

At the best of times, my eldest brother was only a second-tier movie star in Hollywood, and he never reached the standard of an A-level star.

What is an A-list star?The most typical example, American Cheng Long Cruise is an A-level star.

However, Cruise's fans must be more willing to call Cheng Long China Cruise, but this title is a bit inconsistent.

After all, except for the dangerous stunts, Cruise's appearance is almost a Dubai tower higher than that of Cheng Long, the tower that Cruise climbed in "Mission: Impossible 4".

Even so, Cheng Long is a milestone figure in Chinese films and has made an indelible contribution to the promotion of Chinese films, which is an achievement worthy of recognition.

It is also because of Cheng Long's experience that many domestic media and netizens have a pessimistic view of Zhang Hao's trip to Hollywood and are very pessimistic.

"Although Zhang Hao is able to go abroad and go to the world, we are happy for him, but it should be noted that no Chinese filmmaker has ever gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, and Zhang Hao will not be an exception." - "Southern Metropolis Daily"

"Warner Pictures' choice is a good opportunity for Zhang Hao, but as the North American counterparts said, it is not a good choice." - "Global Network"

"I hope that Zhang Hao can succeed in Hollywood and explore an international path for us Chinese filmmakers, but everyone should know clearly that this is unlikely." - "Sohu.com"

The worries and doubts of the media and the doubts of netizens are flooding the Internet, like pouring cold water on the heads of the excited public.

After regaining their composure, most people were generally not optimistic about Zhang Hao's trip to Hollywood.Although Zhang Hao is about to celebrate his 26th birthday and has successfully directed four feature-length films, if he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it.

In contrast, Zhang Hao's fans have a kind of blind confidence in Zhang Hao.

Zhou Yang, as the number one Zhang Chuan, is now also a well-known big V on Weibo, so he posted a special Weibo, expressing his optimism for Zhang Hao's trip to Hollywood.

"Looking at the entire Chinese-language film industry, I think director Zhang Hao is most likely to succeed in Hollywood.

This is not to say that other Chinese film directors are not good, but that among these directors, Zhang Hao is the most special one.

Looking at all of Zhang Hao's works, they all have an international vision that other domestic directors do not have, and several outstanding commercial achievements overseas are enough to prove it.

If there is really a director who can go global in the field of commercial films, it must be Zhang Hao. "

Zhou Yang's microblog attracted a large number of comments and reposts from netizens, and netizens who were optimistic and those who were not optimistic became arguing.

But no matter how you look at it, it is a fact that Zhang Hao directed Hollywood movies, and there is no doubt about it.

The well-known film critic Hou Jianchun analyzed Zhang Hao's Hollywood journey from another angle: "This time Director Zhang Hao not only went there by himself, it is reported that he also took his team of [-] people to Hollywood.

In addition, a team of more than 80 people from his special effects studio also went with him.

We can imagine the ambitions of director Zhang Hao. These people will fully participate in the industrial production process of Hollywood films and become talents in the industrialization of Chinese films.

This is not a small business of visiting and studying, with a production cost of 5000 million US dollars, and a team of thousands of people, this is a scale that has never been seen in Chinese-language films.

I can already foresee that Zhang Hao will be a key figure in promoting the progress of Chinese films.

Let us wish him and his team the best of luck in returning from their studies in Hollywood. "

Hou Jianchun's speech attracted the attention of the public. Everyone used to pay attention to Zhang Hao's Hollywood movies, but they didn't know that there were a group of teams involved.

Immediately, a reporter interviewed Hou Jianchun and asked him if Zhang Hao would succeed in directing a Hollywood film.The well-known film critic said: "As long as you don't lose money and you can learn something, it is considered a success."

Of course Zhang Hao didn't know that the domestic media and netizens had already quarreled, and it was when Da Mi Mi called to wish him a happy birthday.

Zhang Hao doesn't care too much, it's good to quarrel, and it's best to quarrel until next summer to keep the heat of the film.

When Zhang Hao passed his 26th birthday and Guo Fan brought the Chinese team to celebrate Zhang Hao’s birthday, the Hollywood team also joined.

Everyone held a party, which was a social occasion for the unfamiliar teams to get in touch with each other.

The birthday party achieved good results. The Chinese team of more than 100 people successfully integrated into the crew and worked in various departments, like a sponge, constantly learning new knowledge.

Guo Fan is the most energetic. He only sleeps for three or four hours a day. Before dawn, he arrives at the set where the real scene is being built, and carefully studies and ponders the uses of various shooting machines.

Guo Fan's attitude drove Zhang Hao's team, and everyone began to compete with each other, learning more than anyone else, setting off a wave of learning.

The attitude of the Chinese team to study hard impresses the Hollywood team. They have never seen such a hardworking person.

Anyway, it's all about teaching, and people will learn if they don't teach seriously, and they learn quickly, so most Hollywood team members no longer hide it, but teach them all.

Let’s talk about the production of the film. Zhang Hao finally decided to adopt the 2D format and will not make a 3D version. The style of this film is not suitable for 3D either.

In order to achieve better results in the theater, the crew specially rented three large IMAX cameras to shoot those extremely tense images.

Zhang Hao even came up with an innovation, which was actually copied from the future Guo Fan, and he invented this routine.

It is to find a large-scale equipment machinery, which was originally the mechanical arm of the automobile production line.The crew found two, and specially wrote a program with an IMAX camera hanging on it.

Let the robotic arm lead the camera to shoot according to the pre-set program, the effect is very good.It's just that the pre-design is a bit time-consuming, and it's the first time for both the Hollywood staff and Zhang Hao's team to do this kind of thing.

This innovative design made Charles Rowan look at Zhang Hao with admiration, saying that Zhang Hao is a technical director.

In addition, another important job for the film is to hire a good soundtrack artist.

Zhang Hao and Charles Rowan specially visited Hans Zimmer for this purpose and asked him to compose the soundtrack of the Batman movie.

It is worth mentioning that A Kun was studying with Hans Zimmer at this time, and he happened to join the Batman crew together.
