Chapter 972 Dinner (2/3)
Chapter 972 Dinner (23)
The sequel to "Tomb Raider" has been launched, which is entirely driven by Warner.
Warner is more anxious than Tianxia Entertainment!
The failure of "Justice League" made the construction of the DC universe full of unknowns. At this time, the hot sales of "Tomb Raider" made Warner look for the possibility of another track!
To be honest, it is definitely impossible to defeat Marvel with "Tomb Raider", but... it would be good to have one more series that is bound to be profitable.
In order to promote the rapid shooting of "Tomb Raider 2", Warner agreed to Naza's request for a basic remuneration of US$15 million + 8% global box office share...
Shooting will start in May, wrap up in August, and then enter the post-production period, with an estimated release date of March next year...
Very good, just think of it as earning foreign exchange!
After pushing the door open and walking in, Naza immediately trotted up to Jin Daxi. The two hugged each other, and then Naza greeted the others and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Your plane is waiting for you!"
“…my plane?”
"Aren't you flying on a private plane?"
"Oh..." Naza quickly explained: "That's from the company..."
Jin Daxi was speechless: "Okay, let's get on the plane!"
"Really!" Nazha was afraid that Jin Daxi would not believe it, so he explained again: "It belongs to the company, and I have to pay for it every time I use it!"
"ah?"
"You have to pay for gas and service fees..."
"How much does that cost?"
"have no idea…"
Jin Daxi was confused: "Don't the director have a private jet?"
"No, I heard them say that both planes belong to the company's property..."
Well, it is true that the right to use the two aircraft belongs to the company. It is regarded as a leased item. It is rented for ten years at a time, and the annual rental fee is 80 million...
Of course, the ownership belongs to Shen Changlin!
Anyway, the rent alone is enough for him to recover the cost...
Do you think he is shameless enough?
Ma Yun's aircraft is leased to Ali, with an annual rent of 150 million, maintenance costs of 30 million, and a lease term of 10 years. The total cost is more than 1.8 billion!
He has one, but Shen Changlin has two!
…
"My Motherland and Me" did not hold any press conference, and even the promotional press release has not been released yet...
It’s not that I want to hide it, but it’s not that time!
It’s August 2018, more than a year before the National Day next year!
The company's publicity department is still promoting "Operation Red Sea" including "Take My Brother Away" and "Wind Curse" to be released later...
"Wind Curse" is actually not an original production of Changlin Animation, but a theatrical version of the story "Xia Lan" by Ruosen Digital Technology...
A new story extends from Xia Lan's worldview...
Changlin Animation participates in the production and is in charge of distribution...
It can be regarded as supporting domestic animation!
"Xia Lan", "Kuiba" including "Hua Jiang Hu", the three Chinese martial arts comics are indeed making progress in terms of production, graphics and visual effects, but they are not outstanding. Even among domestic animations, they can only be considered in the middle and upper reaches.
Level.
Far from being top-notch!
As for the story?
The script of "Wind and Rain Curse" is too immature, too clichéd, and too mediocre.
It's just a simple old-fashioned story about justice defeating evil. The characters are so distorted that they can't stand up at all...
Compared with "Nezha", it falls short!
The reason why Changlin Animation is willing to participate in the production is mainly because it has a supportive mentality...
Now that I have accepted the publishing task, I must help spread the word!
The company's box office expectations for "Take My Brother Away" are 500 million, and "Wind Curse" is 200 million!
Why do you dare to set such a high goal? The main reason is that "A Good Show" has been a bit popular recently, "European Strategy", "New Oolong Court", "Big Brother" and so on. Their reputations are below 5 points, which belongs to the theater chain. You's works.
However, "Ant-Man 2" will be released on August 25th, and "Mission: Impossible 6" will be released on August 31st, so it only takes ten days to complete the schedule!
Therefore, we need to step up publicity!
…
Shen Changlin left for Australia on the 18th.
It just so happened that the first weekend box office of "European Raiders" was released - 97 million on the first day, 17 million on the second day, and only 9.8 million on the third day...
Well, it set a box office decline that was not weaker than "Love Apartment"!
Many people say it's because Fanfan participated...
What a fucking nonsense, no matter who you choose to co-star with Liang Chaowei in this movie, it won't work!
This thing is the problem with movies!
Liang Chaowei, alas!
In today's Chinese film industry, regardless of his participation in classic works or personal honors, Liang Chaowei is undoubtedly ranked at the top of all male stars!
Cannes Best Actor, five-time Golden Horse Best Actor, three-time Golden Horse Best Actor, "In the Mood for Love" and "Infernal Affairs"... are immortal works in the history of Chinese film.
Later, I took the role of Mandarin!
Let's put it this way, if a mainland actor had taken on this role in this film, the Internet would have scolded him to death.
Just because the actor is from Hong Kong, everyone gives him various explanations...
"Maybe he doesn't have much choice, and other major European and American productions may not look for him, but he happened to have such an opportunity, so he took it";
What is “taking movies as a hobby”;
What 'He is just a pure actor, a person who wholeheartedly pursues the art of film...'
Haha, forget it about ordinary actors. After all, they have to make ends meet and survive. Liang Chaowei is a first-line star. He is not short of money and has no financial pressure at all. He can choose to refuse to star.
You are over 50 years old, and you are still working in the film and television industry, but you don’t have any national consciousness?
Don’t know what’s going on with Mandarin?
Is it possible?
It's obvious that he doesn't take it seriously at all. As long as he can appear on camera and make money, it doesn't matter whether he is discriminating or insulting China.
'... After finishing the paragraph and before the class ended, I filmed a few movies about current affairs. Naturally, they were all about Japan's victory over Russia. But there were Chinese people in it: they worked as detectives for the Russians and were killed by the Japanese and Bench soldiers. He was captured and about to be shot, and a group of Chinese people were watching around him; there was also me in the lecture hall.
"Long live!" They all clapped their hands and cheered. This kind of cheering is common in every film I watch, but to me, this one was particularly harsh...
——"Mr. Fujino"'
Some filmmakers are really stupid, they don't even pretend, they do whatever they want, they don't have any brains at all!
If "Untitled" and "Goldfinger" can pass the review, I will look down on the film bureau!
He was already let off in Ta Ma's "Lust, Caution", will he be let off this time?
…
After arriving in Sydney, Shen Changlin first went to his hotel to put down his luggage, and then found a Chinese restaurant according to the address...
Well, dinner party!
In fact, this shooting can also be said to be a team building...
Everyone in the company has a role to play, and they all came to guest star, including Zhang Hanyun, Jiao Junyan, Wan Qian, who have never appeared in Shen Changlin's movies, and the two newly signed actors Wang Ju and Bai Yufan...
The chapter "Red Flag Flying" requires a large number of actors. The two actors are actually a man and a woman. The man is Zhang Xincheng and the woman is Zhao Jinmai...
The rest of the actors are all supporting roles, only showing their faces, some of them don’t even have lines, they just end with a close-up!
But for these actors, being able to participate in Shen Changlin's movies is a kind of qualification...
What's more, it's a tribute film with the main theme.
Chapter completed!
