Chapter 400 The Little Golden Man in the Bathroom(2/2)
, finally dropped to second place.
The number one box office hit this week is the sequel to the unexpected success "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" by Hong Kong-based Golden Harvest. Released exactly a year ago, the four teenage turtles wearing hoods sold 200 million yuan. This made Golden Harvest overjoyed.
I immediately took out Xiangjiang Speed and rushed to shoot the second part.
However, their production costs are not as stable as those of Xiangjiang Production. The rules of Hollywood are that if you want to make a sequel, your salary must be increased. Golden Harvest's production costs have doubled, reaching 30 million US dollars.
Even if all four actors wear balaclavas and do not show their faces throughout the movie, the Screen Actors Guild can still guarantee that they will not be replaced. As long as the second sequel uses their images after makeup, even if they are not used, they still have to pay
Their expensive licensing fees make it more cost-effective for Jiahe to hire them back for a salary increase.
This is all the result of the lawsuit caused by replacing the actor Crispin Glover who played Marty's father in the second part of "Back to the Future". In the second part, his role was changed and he appeared.
He didn't have much time, and he was still wearing a hood and standing on his head. Crispin Glover was so angry that he sued the film studio.
The crew of Back to the Future all believed that this case could not be lost because the image of Crispin Glover did not appear in the second film. Who could tell whether it was Crispin Glover wearing an old man's hood?
?
But the judge's decision disappointed them. The judge believed that the image of Crispin Glover in the first film had become a character image. No matter how he changed it in the second film, the character was still called George McFly.
Crispin Glover won the lawsuit, making this case a common practice in Hollywood. Characters who wear hoods also have the right to assert their own character image. The producers cannot simply replace them, they must give priority to them.
They come to negotiate.
Ronald and Costner were drinking whiskey and Italian salami, and they were very comfortable. Costner also wanted to look for the mysterious Chinese wine he drank last time, thinking that it brought him good
transport.
Ronald was reluctant to take out the remaining bottle of old Moutai to drink, so he opened a new bottle bought in a Chinese supermarket. The packaging was not a five-star trademark, but a new image of a flying dancing girl.
"By the way, Ronald, I have an idea..."
After three drinks, Costner suddenly said to Ronald.
"I want to add the parts that were cut out in the version released in America."
"Isn't this version very good? It even won an Oscar." Ronald disagreed. The film has a loose structure and was cut into the current version of less than three hours. In fact, it is between showing the Indian scenery and culture and the plot narrative.
a balance?
"But there are still many good scenes. This time we won an Oscar, so the audience will definitely not be afraid of it being too long."
"But..." Ronald originally wanted to convince Costner from the perspective of editing technology and director's aesthetics, but looking at the other person's confident eyes and a smile on his lips, he suddenly thought of the key to the problem.
As soon as Ronald said the words, he changed his mind again. Costner is the Oscar for Best Director, but I haven't won it yet? Why teach?
