888 Preparations (1/4)
"British Confrontation", political conspiracy theories, the situation of Chinese in London, the grievances between Northern Ireland and Britain, the origin and rise of modern terrorism...
This movie is not customized for China and has nothing to do with China.
If Jackie Chan wasn't starring, no one would watch this kind of subject matter.
Today, a box office of 500 million is already quite good!
Therefore, Shen Changlin said that the domestic box office of "The Vengeance" exceeded 1 billion, which has a lot to do with him being the director.
Although it is a bit self-proclaimed, it is also true...
This is also the reason why "The Vengeance 2" lacks momentum - "The Vengeance 2" had a box office of close to 900 million in its first weekend and a total box office of 1.62 billion...
The reasons are the same…
People are not that interested in stories that happen abroad!
As for Yang Xiaomi, she has already started to form a driving effect...
It is posted on hot searches every day, and fans praise it in all kinds of ways...
If you do this, it will have the opposite effect!
But what would Yang Xiaomi complain about?
Shi Shi explained: "I just don't understand that "The Battle of England" has such a good reputation. It has a rating of over 7 on Douban, but the box office is not as good as Jackie Chan's first three movies..."
"…normal…"
"The most important thing is that it is not as good as "Railway Tigers". She has been complaining about a French coffee maker these days and it is more useful than her..."
Shen Changlin was confused: "Legal coffee?"
"Housekeepers!"
"...That's different..."Railway Tigers" is a typical Jackie Chan-style movie and kung fu comedy. There is still a market for Jackie Chan's kung fu comedies!"
After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "However, after "Kung Fu Yoga", it is gone!"
Shi Shicai was about to answer the conversation. When he heard what he said, he immediately asked, "Why?"
Shen Changlin didn't even think about it: "The movie "Kung Fu Yoga" is really boring. It relies purely on false propaganda to lure audiences into the cinema... The market is very fair, there will be compensation effects, and there will also be liquidation effects..."
"Kung Fu Yoga" has no plot, no moves, and no special effects!
Such a film set the highest box office record in Jackie Chan's career?
The water injection is very serious - the online attendance of several Sparkle Roll theaters, especially the morning shows or the shows after 10 o'clock during the prime time in the evening, are full!
"Liquidation?"
"No matter how much you get things from the market that don't belong to you, you will definitely give them back afterwards! Just like "Pancake Man"... it was obviously a bad movie, but it broke a billion, so his subsequent movies have box office It sucks, including this time "Sewing Machine Band"...
"Sewing Machine Band" only exceeded 100 million at the box office after five days of release!
Dapeng is really doing all sorts of things, making jokes and making jokes...
——If you regard an occasional piece of luck as proof of your talent, reality will usually hit you in the face later.
"The same applies to "Sky Hunter". Let me tell you, try not to use actors with a bad reputation in the future. Even if they are used, don't give them to the protagonist, otherwise, they may come back to you!"
After Shen Changlin finished speaking, he continued to flip through the book...
He is reading "Returning from the South to the North", an epic masterpiece that tells the story of the changes in the fate of the last batch of masters in the Republic of China. The entire work spans nearly a century, and the characters involved include most of the masters in the humanities in the 20th century. Characters such as Cai Yuanpei, Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Mei Yiqi, Chen Yinke, Qian Zhongshu, etc...
"Hey, is the casting for "Assassination Novelist" over?"
"...It's over."
"The male protagonist is Brother Chao?"
"Well...after all, the cost is close to 500 million, so we still have to find a famous actor to play the leading role..."
"Can you arrange a role for Xiao Guo?"
"Xiao Guo? What's wrong with her?"
Shi Shi complained: "...This girl is too arrogant. She still lives in the last century and is unwilling to participate in variety shows... Her popularity is getting lower and lower!"
Also, in the traffic era, when there is attention, you will have more opportunities to fight for good roles.
Otherwise, no one will care about it at all!
"...Let's do this, you ask her to participate in "Leisure Inn", and then ask her to sign up for the second season of "I Am an Actor". You and Yang Xiaomi go together to support the show, and then arrange a few IP dramas for her...
Don’t give it to the heroine right from the start!”
"I see!"
"In "The Sudden Holiday", she and Kan Kiyoko were arranged to play the female lead and the second female lead..."
Shi Shi nodded, and then asked: "There is no drama in "Assassination of Novelists"?"
"...I have already decided on the role..."
…
"Assassination Novelist", Deng Chao plays Guan Ning, Lu Kongwen is Zhang Xincheng, Tu Ling is Yang Xiaomi, the villain Li Mu finds Teacher Wu Gang, and the black armor is Guo Jingfei...
The red-haired ghost is the projection of Aladdin's boss Li Mu in the novel. This is obvious, but there is also another metaphor, which represents the dream of Aladdin's boss: to become a god.
The pursuit of immortality requires human experimentation!
Lu Kongwen's father and Li Mu's former partner heard about it and objected, and he was killed.
So where do the materials for human experiments come from?
Aladdin Medical Group is actually the largest human trafficker group!
Tu Ling's sudden betrayal was not due to a discovery of conscience, but because she discovered that she was also one of the survivors of the human experiment...
At the same time, she also remembered the location of the secret body modification laboratory...
Several villains with special powers in the movie were also transformed here.
Including Guan Ning, they have also been transformed - that's why his throwing ability is so strong!
In the end, the battle was divided into two lines, and the novelist hid to write his novel. In the magic line, Kongwen went to the villain's lair to fight the red-haired ghost, and finally defeated the red-haired ghost with the help of the rebel guards;
In reality, Tu Ling and Guan Ning entered the villain's secret laboratory - there should be a scene like this. The door of the laboratory was opened, and it was full of cultivation vessels. Many children were soaked in it and had various tubes inserted into their bodies.
The transformation experiment echoes the situation in Magic Lines where they entered the lair of the red-haired ghost and when they pushed the door open they saw soldiers all over the square unable to move...
Tu Ling and Guan Ning then teamed up to destroy the laboratory, obtain key evidence, and call the police to capture Li Mu.
As for why the two lines can be connected?
The drug developed by the group may be able to travel freely through time and space. It is said in the film that it can do ten things in one minute, so it may have the function of traveling through parallel worlds.
(Borrowing from "Your Name")
That’s why this group of people can appear in the parallel world!
Of course, the effects and functions of this drug can be revealed in the sequel...
Once the plot is figured out, all that's left is to insert the story into it. This is left to the screenwriter.
Last month, the script was completed…
This movie doesn’t require much scenery. The realistic part was shot in the mountain city, and the magical part has already started shooting in Qingdao Film and Television City...
To be precise, it should be called Oriental Movie Capital!
"The Wandering Earth" was also filmed here...
Why Oriental Movie Capital?
Oriental Film City is different from other domestic filming bases. Nowadays, there are more than a thousand film and television cities in China. Most of the film and television cities are in the dilemma of barely making ends meet by renting venues and tickets. Moreover, these film and television cities are basically modern buildings and generally have
It's a costume drama filming...
Oriental Movies is different. From the beginning, its positioning has been to build a Chinese film heavy industry base, with 30 studios planned to be built in the first phase!
"Assassination of Novelists", Shen Changlin is planning to release it in the summer of 2019, so the special effects part must be done in advance, so during the project preparation stage, he has already communicated with the special effects team...
…
Although Yang Xiaomi is a little disappointed...
But when it comes to publicity, we still try our best.
Maybe she also knows that selling poorly is of no use - "Sewing Machine Band", "Sky Hunter" are selling badly, "Sewing Machine Band", Da Peng is like crazy, advertising in various ways, even on other people's Weibo Promoting his own movie; "Sky Hunter" made Li Chen cry...
"The director is very serious, and Jackie Chan is also very dedicated..."
Chapter completed!
