The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu
Chapter 560 Adjusting the pace
Chapter 560 Adjusting the pace
In the face of the overwhelming and astonishing success of "Spider-Man", Edgar has always remained calm, and even calmer because he has repeatedly set box office records.
Popularity, bubbles, heat waves, these are all bubbles, they just look lively; it won’t take long for the popularity to drop, gradually revealing the eternal truth of the cruel world of Vanity Fair——
interest.
Of course, Anson can strike while the iron is hot and take on starring roles in a series of large-scale projects, and he will be in the limelight for a while; but the pressure of waiting for the backlash will slowly accumulate.
Once a movie is released and the box office is lower than expected, it doesn't even need to be a box office failure, even if it just fails to meet the psychological expectations of the film company, and they realize that Anson's return rate has not met the expected value, they will not hesitate to put the blame on Anson. .
By then, Anson, whose foundation is still shallow, will be unable to withstand the wind and rain, and his career will take a turn for the worse.
This is called fishing when the lake is exhausted.
Edgar rejects such a short-sighted approach.
"I think."
"For investment projects of more than US$2 million, we need to be cautious in our selection. After all, 'Spider-Man ' is now on the agenda, which is also our next focus. Unless there is an exciting script or a cast worth looking forward to, we There’s no need to rush into taking on a big project like this.”
"but."
"It wouldn't be appropriate if we turned around and jumped into the independent film market."
"Whether it is a special project like 'Elephant' or other projects that focus on acting and aiming for awards, such a 360-degree turn is not appropriate."
Anson interrupted, "Turn around 180 degrees."
Edgar was stunned, "Huh?"
There was a smile in Anson's eyes, "Three hundred and sixty degrees is back to the original position, and one hundred and eighty degrees is the complete opposite turn."
Edgar:…
But seeing that Anson was still thinking about joking, he relaxed a little.
"One hundred and eighty degrees."
"What I mean is that this seems too radical and urgent. On the contrary, it is equivalent to completely abandoning the commercial film market and destroying the results we have laid along the way. This is definitely a bad decision."
It seems that, like Lucas and the others, Edgar also has his worries.
Although Edgar never admitted it, the critical remarks from the media still had an impact, causing Edgar to reorganize his strategy.
Anson agreed with this——
There is no need to rush things.
"To transform from a vase to an actor is not something that happens overnight. It takes time and preparation, otherwise people will not be able to accept it."
Anson's unhurried words made Edgar smile helplessly, "You are not a vase."
Anson lightly shrugged, "People always think that vase is a derogatory term, but the reality is that people always desire things they can't have. I guess Jack Nicholson should want to be a vase but can't get it, so he polished it. Became an actor."
puff.
Edgar imagined Jack Nicholson's face in "The Shining" and burst out laughing without holding back.
However, Anson remained calm, "So?"
Edgar calmed down his expression and said, "So, we should proceed step by step."
"Perhaps, medium-sized investment projects of US$10 million to US$50 million are a better choice at this stage."
Although all of Hollywood’s attention is focused on large-scale projects with more than 100 million US dollars, in fact, not only now, but even twenty years from now, medium-investment projects will be the main body of Hollywood movies.
After all, even a company with as deep pockets as Warner Bros. is limited in the number of large-scale projects it can launch each year.
There are not only a large number of medium-sized investment projects, but also a variety of subject types, covering action, science fiction, disaster, romance, comedy, horror, etc., including a series of B-level movies in the superhero genre.
On the one hand, the investment cost is not low, ensuring that the crew can operate within a certain range. On the one hand, the investment cost was not enough to burn computer special effects, forcing the crew to look at other aspects to ensure the quality of the film.
The result is that medium-sized investment projects often reveal a wider world, with dazzling masterpieces far beyond imagination.
"Of course, medium-sized investment projects are limited by funds, and the scenes may not be grand, so they also lack explosive power in terms of box office. Even if there is a bumper harvest, it is often just a small explosion."
"But I think projects like this give actors more room to shine and not be overtaken by visual effects like in 'Spider-Man.'"
"That way, the audience can really focus on you."
It is not a large-scale commercial film, nor a niche independent art film, but a middle buffer zone in the wider market——
Guaranteeing quality while reducing pressure ensures that Anson can explore more possibilities in his role as an actor.
From the first listen, you can tell that Edgar should have thought carefully during this time.
Anson neither agreed nor objected, but said meaningfully, "What project did you get?"
Edgar, "Huh?"
Anson, "Ideas are ideas, but this is just a general concept. You must have seen a project that perfectly fits your idea, so you have determined the direction."
Edgar was stunned, "Wow, did you install a monitor in my house?"
Anson said seriously, "No, only the office."
Edgar:…
Anson laughed happily, "You should really look at your expression. Actually, it's because you just said that a script happened to come into your mind. I just made a reasonable inference."
Magic is actually just a deception.
Edgar admitted his defeat obediently, "Indeed, I saw this project."
"In fact, it was a project that was handed over to William Morris' other agents, but my colleagues thought that the script was too cerebral and there should be no market for it, so it was shelved in the utility room-"
"Oh, William Morris has a utility room that contains not only sponsor products and a bunch of junk, but also script projects that the agent has no interest in at the moment, just sitting there gathering dust. If you're willing to spend the time, Maybe you can find some treasure, but the chances are slim.”
"Anyway, when I saw this script, my colleagues and I had different ideas. Instead, I thought that such a script and such a project would be very suitable for you."
"It's a love story, look, we need to continue the image of your dream girl; but it's also a science fiction story, which means you can develop the character, complete the performance, and show different aspects of yourself to the audience."
"So, I thought I'd show you the script."
"While you're in Columbus collecting news, take some time to read through it to pass the time."
"If you are interested, we will contact the director or screenwriter to see the situation, but if you are not interested, we will continue to look for it."
"No need to worry, no need to rush, we have enough time to search slowly."
It turned out to be the case.
With that said, Edgar was about to turn around and leave, "That's it, then I won't disturb your family's vacation. Enjoy your vacation."
"Edgar, script." Anson called helplessly.
Edgar patted his head. It was obvious that he had been confused by the Wood family's troubles this morning and had not been able to come back to his senses until now.
"Sorry about my memory." Edgar patted his head, stopped, took out a thick stack of scripts from his briefcase and handed it to Anson, "Don't worry, the script is not that long, but there are still some shootings. plan, obviously the director is still a little unsure about the ending.”
Anson took the script, looked down, and saw clearly written on the cover——
"The Butterfly Effect".
