Chapter Fifty-Four Playing Hearts? (3/4)
Has Shen Changlin participated in any promotions?
Join the fun!
He is the director, and he works behind the scenes. Who is the main character in "Avenger 2"?
Jackie Chan!
Of course, the heavy responsibility of publicity is given to the eldest brother.
Been a guest on a bunch of talk shows...
As for Shen Changlin... he was simply lazy!
It’s not lazy, but I got together with Ning Hao...
Ning Hao has also come to the United States, and "Manslaughter" will be released in July.
Yang Fan was also there, and he analyzed it: "It seems that Warner is very optimistic about "Manslaughter", otherwise it wouldn't be released in the summer release!"
"...That's because DC is no longer good!"
"No, "Suicide Squad" will be released on August 1st."
Well, Suicide Squad…
Speaking of which, Zack Snyder is really speechless!
Batman and Superman, the two super IPs, were photographed in such a bad way by him!
That's Batman!
Back then, when the entire superhero market was in recession, Batman could make money...
Zack Snyder made Batman kill people, made Batman irritable and irritable, and made Batman lose his wits!
It also revealed that my mother is Martha...
By the way, he is also planning to arrange for Batman to be raped in prison. It is not difficult to understand why Batman kills people. Director Zha is really good at understanding the character's psychology and portraying the character in detail;
Even the earliest script had the setting of Batman turning green and The Flash...
Awesome!
A great director is a great director. This kind of imagination is beyond our reach!
For "Justice League", Warner gave director Zack 300 million U.S. dollars in production fees. He took the entire crew on a self-funded trip to Iceland and shot a set of about ten minutes without having to go to Iceland. It could be shot using CG or even in Alaska. lens.
Superman and Batman's uniforms have been revised and modified several times, costing millions of dollars. One change would mean redoing the entire set. The most outrageous modification was because the director asked for the Kryptonian inscription to be added to the shirts. The problem lies in these The inscriptions are so small that you can't even notice them in the movie.
Nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award with top investment in film history!
Zack's movies basically follow the same routine, with excellent camera operation and lines that seem profound but are actually stupid and have no depth. They have no value except to satisfy Zack Snyder's need for showmanship.
Forget it, after "Batman v Superman" failed at the box office and received poor reviews, it was only a matter of time before Zack Snyder officially left DC!
"I took a look at this year's film schedule. What's going on with Disney? Why is "Doctor Strange" only released in November? Has it given up on the summer schedule?"
"They have "Finding Dory 2" and "Captain America 3"! As for "Doctor Strange," maybe it's because I can't keep up in the later stages..."
Also, a movie that was only completed in March this year...
Ning Hao also joined the chat: "I feel like everyone in Hollywood is making blockbusters...and...there are so many domestic investors here that they call me for dinner every three days!"
Oh, Ning Hao stays here mainly to handle the post-production of "Manslaughter" - this film is independently invested by the North American branch of Changlin Film and Television, and Ning Hao of course has the final editing rights...
The final editing rights in the Hollywood sense are for big productions, the most popular editing rights for blockbusters, and that is controlled by the producer.
Independent films are basically edited by the director himself...
Shen Changlin was quite curious: "Are they many?"
"Well, there are quite a few of them, including those representing Ahri, those representing Wanda, and those representing Fosun Capital...a group of people are looking for projects with money!"
Yang Fan nodded: "Domestic investors are superstitious about big Hollywood productions... plus the leaders are all famous people and well-known companies..."
"I guess after "Warcraft", everyone should calm down a bit!"
Ning Hao was quite curious: "Will "Warcraft" lose money?"
Without Shen Changlin to speak, Yang Fan analyzed: "The domestic box office is estimated to be less than 1.5 billion, North America is 40 million US dollars, and the global box office should be about 400 million US dollars. Compared with the cost of 170 million US dollars and the promotion of 90 million US dollars, this box office You definitely won’t be able to get your money back.”
“What about derivatives?”
""Warcraft" is exclusive to the movie. Even if there is derivative income, it may not be much compared to other movies. After all, the purchasing power will be dispersed by Blizzard, and the movie itself will also invest, so the derivative value will not be too high. Legendary Pictures It should be a big loss. Counting theater income from Wanda headquarters, even if there is a large number of ticket sales, it can still make up for part of it. Overall, it should be a small loss."
Shen Changlin silently added: "Don't worry, they also have "Pacific Ocean 2" and "The Great Wall". It's only a matter of time before the loss is overturned!"
"Why do I feel that you are a little hostile to Wanda?"
"I'm not..."
Shen Changlin was about to speak when his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was actually a call from Yang Xiaomi...
He quickly got up and went out: "I'm going to answer a phone call!"
Ning Hao then asked Yang Fan: "...Brother Fan, what do you think?"
"Hostile to Wanda?" Ning Hao nodded, and Yang Fan said with a smile: "It's normal. In fact, Chang Lin has always wanted to increase the share of accounts, but he didn't dare to make the first move..."
"Don't you dare?"
Ning Hao didn't believe it: "Why is he so afraid?"
"After all, theater chains are responsible for the food and clothing of millions of workers... The development of the number of screens has been written into the above plan. It is linked to culture. If you want the number of screens, you must have theater chains. The growth in the number of theater chains is based on enjoying high-income On the premise of dividing accounts! Chang Lin is a smart man and will not be in trouble with the policy..."
Yang Fan and Ning Hao were analyzing here, while Shen Changlin was a little surprised...
The idol actually came to Los Angeles!
And from what she said, 'I came here specifically to find you!'
"How do you know I'm in Los Angeles? What if I'm in New York? Or Boston!"
"...Then I will go back to show that we are not destined to be together this time! Are you in Los Angeles?"
"Wait for me at...the airport, I'll be there soon!"
…
I casually found an excuse and left the dinner party directly - the three gentlemen talked about movies or the film industry all day long, worrying about the country and the people...
What's the point?
In fact, Yang Fan also proposed to let Shen Changlin sit in for the audition...
He was too lazy to move.
The love I yearn for now is just eye contact on the street, followed by kissing and lingering...
You have to talk during the audition, which is too troublesome.
And...North American female stars have started to dance recently, and he doesn't want to leave any clues...
The idol is here, and Shen Changlin finally has a chance to use his stick skills.
In a cafe near the airport, Yang Xiaomi took off her mask and sunglasses and drank coffee comfortably - no one knew her anyway!
Then a few little girls came up to me and asked slightly uneasily, "Sister Mi, can we take a group photo?"
"…sure!"
Yang Xiaomi immediately smiled professionally: "Are you here for a trip?"
"...We are international students..."
"That's awesome, come on!"
Smiling, taking photos, and once she became proficient in the process, it seemed that her reputation was indeed high. There were several Asian faces over there who also came over excitedly...
Then she noticed Shen Changlin who opened the door and came in. She wanted to remind him, but somehow she stopped...
Shen Changlin saw Yang Xiaomi surrounded by a group of people at a glance. Then he took out his mobile phone, pretended to make a call, and slipped out...
"I have something else to do, let's take a photo next time!"
Chapter completed!
