Start with a god-level director

Chapter 93

The Silence of the Lambs was hugely successful and sparked countless controversies.

Many people wrote to Director Shen saying, you let me down, how can you wait like this... Scared the kids or something.

Why don't you use Daming's actresses, many of them have offered you an olive branch.

Also, why does it feel a bit dark?
However, these things can't affect the vast majority of audience's expectations for the fifth part of Gotham.

Wow, this is our Gotham, crime city, isn't it?
The donkey in the farm, Director Shen Yushen lived up to everyone's expectations. When the Silence of the Lambs had just wrapped up, the preparations for the new movie began.

Generally, it takes a few months or even a year or two for a director to make a movie, and then it takes time for the editing and announcement. Maybe it will be the next year or even a few years before the movie will be released.

But Director Shen, the donkey in the farm, is simply the flat-headed brother of the new era.

He shoots movies very quickly. Except for Saving Private Gordon, which took four months, other movies are usually shot and edited within two months. Now the review is relatively relaxed, and he has someone behind him. The joints can be released at the fastest speed.

At the same time, he doesn't care about prime time, summer vacation, etc., and releases it as soon as it passes the review, and does everything in advance for promotion, just like an elephant wading through muddy ground, wanting to dedicate the film to the audience as soon as possible.

This is not a performance of maximizing profits. If Director Shen belonged to a certain company, he would have been banned from doing so long ago. However, he is the big boss of his own company and distributes the profits to many people, so he was not assassinated. It can also be done without hesitation.

Even the shareholders remained silent... After all, if Director Shen wanted to maximize his profits, the first thing to do was to kick everyone out, right?
Just a week after The Silence of the Lambs was screened, Director Shen's new film conference began.

Gotham's fifth installment, titled Fight Club, tells the story of Two-Face.

When Shen Yu hired someone to draw the comics of Batman, he made some revisions. The origins of many characters are vague and left to free play.

Some characters were added, such as the professor mentioned it, Barbara's mysterious friend, etc., but only said that he was a wanted criminal, and did not say what crime he committed, but Barbara would sometimes call to inquire about the case.

At the same time, some plots that are more perverted and easily plagiarized characters have been deleted.

For example, clowns, etc., are only mentioned a little bit, but they are not described in detail, and the official version will be released before the movie is released.

This time, the opening ceremony of the film can no longer be unknown. After all, Silence of the Lambs parachuted into the Daming Film Market, and won the first place in the film rankings in the first week, shocking everyone's attention.

The promotion of this movie was average, even in order to avoid a lot of trouble, Shen Yu didn't announce it.

After all, the leading actor in this movie is too horrifying, and many of them are out of place. If it weren't for the tolerance of the cultural market, and the road paved by Shen Yu before——Schindler's list, Dawn is Quiet here, although it doesn't make money, but it's a good one. Fame and goodwill, so he passed the test with his nose pinched.

After all, this is what happened in the decadent and backward United States, and the hero and heroine are all from the United States, aren't they?
Then, it occupied the first place in the box office chart for a week in a row.

In this way, the fifth part of Gotham, of course, has high hopes from many people.

This is not just a question of making money, but a question of driving economic development.

The United States has worked hard to develop industry over the years, while at the same time striving to increase employment rates and promote economic development, but this road is too difficult and tiring, and it has to face the suppression of Ming Dynasty, so many places have turned their attention to culture and tourism.

However, the biggest problem between Daming and the United States is that it is too far away—Honolulu is not counted, after all, the population is too small. If passengers from Daming set off from the mainland to the United States, the journey takes about ten hours and they have to change planes in Honolulu. Going to Tianzhu, Southeast Asia or even Europe is more fragrant.

Tourists are classified according to their quality. It is obvious that tourists from Daming are of better quality than those from South America. .

For a long time, not many people came to the United States to travel, but now, Director Shen has made a good start and attracted many tourists. Naturally, Los Angeles must fully support it. At the same time, I hope that Shen Yu will not be so low-key and better promote it... …

Especially in Los Angeles, the ambitious mayor, when he mentioned the Gotham series, he said that this is the business card of our city of Los Angeles, and welcomes the masses of Ming Dynasty to come and experience the original style of Gotham, and this is really very effective. In the past year, the number of tourists in Los Angeles and Hollywood has tripled compared to previous years. Every time the theater is shown, there are no empty seats. The local tourism industry is booming, and the homestays have made a lot of money.

These made the local officials more confident. For example, someone proposed to build a Gotham amusement park with various characters in it. The reason for the proposal is that the copyright is with Director Shen, and the film series has not yet been filmed. It's over, but the popular tourist attraction in Los Angeles, Changfeng Film and Television Company, has an endless stream of tourists every day, and the profits from selling peripheral products are enviable.

Shen Yu didn't want to hold any press conference, but just wanted to start filming with the actors. However, many people said, Director Shen, our hotel, travel, souvenirs, including air tickets, etc., all depend on you. Give everyone a face.

The only depressing thing is Brother Fei, after the release of The Silence of the Lambs, his beef sales actually dropped a little...

"The new movie is called Fight Club. It's an action movie. It tells the story of a group of white-collar workers who exercise hard and run a club."

Shen Yu spoke politely to the reporters present, followed by boos.

Go ahead and lie to ghosts, we don't trust you anymore, Director Shen.

Saving Private Gordon and the Women's Platoon in the Night are examples, and Silence of the Lambs, you've done all sorts of bad things, even if it's...

"This movie is still part of the Gotham series, the fifth."

"Director Shen, is this still an inconspicuous role?"

"No, very important criminal."

"Are they Two-Face, Penguin, Riddler, Clown, or something else?"

"I think it's better to leave suspense."

"Excuse me, does this movie have a theme song?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have any inspiration yet, maybe there is no theme song."

Shen Yu answered with a smile, and then briefly ended the press conference.

Compared to the enthusiasm of the people below, including investors, Shen Yu just wants to say, I just want to make good movies, but I really don’t need you to bring your own tap water to promote me.

As Shen Yu with a sense of public morality and obsessive-compulsive disorder, he would not let the quality of the movie drop, which was not in line with his plan, but he also didn't want every movie to be a hit.

What's the point of this?
What outsiders see is that Shen Yu is far-sighted and takes out the investment amount to win with everyone, but in fact, Shen Yu just doesn't want to make so much money.

Who asked you to let the silence of the lambs, a poisonous weed, be released in Ming Dynasty, including Russia?You guys banned it, I really don't care if you help, really.

I ended my speech sloppily, let the mayor brag desperately, anyway, that's how it is, let's find a way to toss the money out...

It's a real toss, not a transfer.

Ugh……

……

Santa Maria Hospital in Los Angeles.

Williams lay in the hospital, very depressed.

There was a press conference for Director Shen's new film. As the leading actor, he did not attend. Of course, all the actors did not attend. Director Shen just accepted the interview and left.

The rest is the mayor's desperate advocacy.

There are also media people who advocate that Director Shen doesn't care about publicity, but only cares about the quality of the movie?
In fact, the real reason was that I ate a pie the day before yesterday. Maybe there was something wrong with the stuffing inside. As a result, I had diarrhea and was sent to the hospital.

Alas... I hope Director Shen doesn't blame him.

As a half-popular young artist who debuted for several years, he has many dreams, and the most beautiful dream of this kind is to rush out of Hollywood and walk on the red carpet in Daming, but this year, everyone thinks, Director Shen is the golden thigh.

The Godfather brought Johnson back to life, Saving Private Gordon made a group of people popular, and Schindler's List... made Constantine win the Best Actor Award at the most famous art festival in Europe.

He could remember that it was an afternoon when he received an interview notice asking him to go to Changfeng Film and Television Company to interview for a supporting role.

Walking into the room, I saw Director Shen sitting there alone.

This didn't comply with the interview rules at all, but his heart was pounding, not because he was afraid that Director Shen would rule him out, but because he had heard mysterious rumors.

Director Shen never engages in any wanton casting to suit the hero and heroine, but talks privately to determine the hero and heroine.

Could it be that my luck has come?
Director Shen asked him to perform several performances, and asked him a lot of questions. At the end, Director Shen asked him, three or four months later, he had a new movie to be shot, and asked him if he would like to be the leading actor?

Yes, of course I would.

He nodded desperately at that time, and then, he heard Director Shen's next order.

"You have three months to prepare for a role, the role's positioning, identity, and performance requirements, as well as reference movies, I put it in the folder, and you read it carefully.

You have to start today by doing the following three things.

First, handle the things around you well. I am not asking you to break up with your girlfriend, nor to cut off your relationship with friends. I just hope that you can handle some messy things well and don’t get caught up in scandals. After I disclose that you are the leading actor , many people will put you under a magnifying glass to watch.

If you have any troubles or troubles, go to the company’s lawyer Nick, he will help you deal with the corresponding matters, don’t be afraid to spend money, it’s nothing compared to your future.

Second, don't say anything, let alone say that I chose you, don't even mention it.
