  Chapter 309 308. You can go to sleep if you ’re tired (monthly ticket plus more!)

A few days ago, Overseas, Massachusetts.

Alfred Lake is one of AMC's high level sect masters responsible for introducing movies.

He is Thomas Lee's superior.

"Christmas schedule? What the hell is this guy thinking about?"

Seeing the desktop report, Lake felt that it was getting more and more difficult for his subordinates.

Here, the Christmas schedule is equivalent to Spring Festival, Christmas, and New Year's Day. The holidays are also a good time for major shopping malls to launch promotional activities. The streets are crowded with people, vast crowds in shopping malls, and movie box offices. It is rising steadily, which is the second only to summer vacation and May Golden Week.

Generally speaking, just as the domestic Spring Festival festivals mostly show family-style joyous and festive movies, the movies around Christmas are also mainly light comedies, romantic dramas, cartoons, etc.

But Thomas Lee handed him a war movie.

It's still a foreign language film.

In the words of Chinese people, what to see in the New Year's Eve, how unlucky.

Although there is no similar exquisiteness overseas, everyone still likes to watch movies at Christmas. The classification of war movies can not bring children, and they will not give priority to choosing such movies when going out, which drags down the box office.

And it was taken "foreign", which is emotionally unacceptable for Laker.

Fortunately, only 5% of the film arrangement is guaranteed in the contract. The specifics depend on the situation.

Next to the report, there is a CD-ROM containing the movie "The Tide", which Thomas Lee sent in for evaluation and local censorship.

Overseas, all movies, games and other audio-visual entertainment products need to be graded, to distinguish some of the content that is not suitable for children, and then to make the movies of the level that children can't see more exciting.

"Lee has always been very accurate in his judgments. He will do this this time. There may be reasons why I should watch this movie first."

Lei Keben wanted to start the review immediately, but Suddenly thought of the party tonight.

He graduated from Miskatok University in Massachusetts, where there is the famous Miskatok University Film Festival and the largest youth film festival in the United States. Lake was born in photography and worked for a while after graduation. Time's film and television work, and later entered AMC, step by step to achieve today's position.

Tonight’s party is for the 20th anniversary of his graduation with a few close classmates. It is in his own house. His house is quite big, and a few friends are tired of playing. You can go to bed directly.

Some of these classmates are already famous directors, while others stay in school to teach and become professors. They are all successful people.

In addition to the classic barbecue party, their party is to get together to watch movies. After all, they are all practitioners. There are a lot of things to talk about watching movies, so they spend a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

"It might be better to let them taste it together."

Lake thought that his own opinions may be biased, but there are still so many students’ opinions. Together, it is enough to produce a comprehensive evaluation.

After all, according to Thomas Lee, this is an epic blockbuster.

When Lake heard this sentence, he almost wanted to ask his subordinate of Chinese descent to ask him to translate what is meant by "epic blockbuster".

As everyone knows, this Great Accomplishment movie has disappeared in recent years. Even Hollywood, the world’s strongest film industry, has not rushed to try this Great Accomplishment movie. In recent years The hot ones are all superhero movies that are connected through a world-view work. The classic epic movies are no longer filmed.

Lake doesn’t think other countries can make epic blockbusters. First of all, their industrial equipment can’t do it. Second is the level of actors. Finally, there are factors such as script and director. It is capital investment.

At the beginning of the century, there were some epic fantasy movies. At that time, the computer special effects technology was not mature, so many used real-time shooting, such as finding hundreds of riders to charge on horseback, or making fake props instead. Special effects etc.

This is also to save costs. It sounds a bit unimaginable, but in some cases, special effects are really expensive.

To this day, Hollywood is still proud of its mature film industry system. The films of various superheroes are the embodiment of advanced industrial special effects.

In Hollywood, you can complete these special effects at a relatively low price, but in foreign countries, you either spend a lot of money to find Hollywood OEMs, or you can explore it yourself.

For example, if a flame burns, foreign teams may have to study the particle presentation for several months, but here in Hollywood, there are hundreds of kinds of flame effects that can be selected at will. These are accumulation and reserve, not It's so easy to overtake in a curve.

There are even a lot of special effects that can only be completed by specific studios, and most of these studios are concentrated here. Some people say that Hollywood has a monopoly on special effects movies. This is not wrong at all.

If you want to shoot a movie with large scenes and multiple special effects, you will almost certainly find a special effects team from Hollywood.

Krek did not hear that Hollywood studios undertake related special effects production business.

In other words, the special effects of this "Magic Tide" are likely to be made by other studios or by themselves.

That kind of fifty cents special effect, simply is not worth looking forward to.

Lake also glanced at the director’s previous work catalog, which are all horror films and thrillers. This kind of low-cost movies that will be classified as B-Rank films here, and even more Let Lake think that the so-called "epic blockbuster" may be just a joke.

And the reason why these movies have such a high box office, Lake thinks, this is probably because of the backward aesthetics.

There have been blockbuster films jointly shot by the two countries in the past, in which famous foreign movie stars were invited. The result was only average in quality, and the special effects were not enough, which disappointed the audience.

Therefore, Lake picked up the CD of "Magic Tide" and drove home with the mentality of watching jokes and complaining about bad movies.

In the evening, after enjoying a perfect barbecue, Lake and his friends came to the projection room of his house. A part of the garage was used for modification, which has perfect audio-visual effects. G happy house.

"What did you say you brought?"

A friend of Lake’s Justin asked. He is now a director with a small reputation and he has filmed two good ones. Movies are well-known figures in the industry.

"A movie, to be released on Christmas, was imported from overseas."

Lake took out the CD.

""The Tide", hearing the name reminds me of the game I played when I was a kid."

Another friend, Professor Armitage, jokingly said, he is Miskatok Professor of University Media Academy.

"It is said that this is an epic blockbuster, huh."

Rick put the disc in the player.

"Epic blockbuster? I haven't heard of any director who is going to make a big movie of this kind recently."

The last friend, Rice, is from a film company. The filmmaker, he didn't understand Leike too much, so he asked.

"Look at it anyway, I prepared beer, we can watch while chatting."

Rick brought a few bottles of beer, pressed the play button again, and turned it off The lamp sat on the soft sofa.

The entire room dimmed, and before the production list appeared, a dark forest appeared first.
