Perhaps Quentin Tastino will bully Hitler's big hooligan in the future, but movies like "Kill Bill" will definitely not become mainstream. Charlize Theron's joining attracted some non-cult film enthusiasts to the theater. A considerable number of these people are difficult to stick to until the end of the film...

Niche movies are niche movies. They will not change the essence of limited audience just because of the joining of a big-name actor or director.

"No mainstream audience would agree with this film, and it is one of the most violent films ever produced by American production companies."

Such a view undoubtedly represents the voice of mainstream media. Of course, directors like Quentin Tastino don’t care too much about this voice.

Perhaps it was Charlize's Oscar winner's franchise that really increased the appeal of the movie. "Kill Bill"'s box office seemed to be better than Ryan's vague impression.

Three days on the first week, I received US$27.55 million in 3,102 theaters. Such a box office is already an extremely outstanding result for niche movies.

Ryan is one of the major shareholders of Miramax, so he naturally wants to see the movie make a profit.

While filming "Argo", he also took the time to pay attention to the box office trend of the movie. The box office dropped to more than 16 million in the second week and fell to more than 8.5 million in the third week.

This situation is normal. According to his calculations, the real market reaction of niche films, the North American box office of this film is difficult to exceed 100 million, but compared with investment, profitability is not difficult.

Then, most of Ryan's energy was transferred to "Argo".

The crew was divided into two groups, and the deputy director led some people to shoot footage such as Swiss Airlines flight departure and some pure street scenes. George Clooney and the main actors finished the scenes in the studio and began to travel around North America.

The Islamic settlements in California, the State Department Building and the Washington Monument in Washington, and the Cia headquarters in Virginia are all places where the crew needs to film. Some of them are not easy to enter, and the role of the partner CIA was played out.

With the CIA as a guarantee, although it will not get tickets to some key places, it will relatively reduce the difficulties encountered by the crew in outdoor shooting.

Of course, whether it is the State Council or the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters building, it can only take a short shot at the entrance. If you want to enter the interior, it is easier to set up a scene in the studio.

In late November, the crew came to Langley, Fernigia, where the CIA headquarters was located.

In order to assist in the filming of this alternative CIA promotional video, the CIA specially gave the crew a day to shoot at the square and entrances of the headquarters building.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, we also try to lock the camera on several actors such as Ryan to reduce the appearance of panoramic shots. The set is faster and simple, and only the nameplate of a few shooting locations has been replaced.

In addition, there are more than a dozen old-fashioned cars transported by crews on the parking lot of the square.

"Stop! Stop!"

In the parking lot of the square, Ryan stopped to the camera and pointed to the large microphone that was recording above his head, "Check the recording equipment, I just heard the noise."

George Clooney across from him shouted loudly, "Hurry up! Our time is limited! Don't delay precious time because of these damn questions!"

Just as he shouted, several technicians were already busy.

"George, I found something very interesting." Ryan put his briefcase on the front of the car with aside and looked at him with interest. "No matter what kind of temper or how gentle and delicate a voice is, he will become a irritable loud voice after sitting in the director's chair for a long time."

"Well, then I have to pay attention to my image." George Clooney went through his hair and glanced at the reporter who was blocked by Cia in the distance, and was vaguely visible. "I am not only a director, but also an actor."

The other party is a well-known handsome guy recognized by the media and the public, and of course he is also a veteran playboy.

After about ten minutes, the recording equipment was adjusted and the shooting started again.

Ryan picked up his briefcase, walked to the exit of the Cia building, made an ok sign to the camera, and after the assistant director called to start, he strode towards the parking lot.

Before he could reach his car, he saw George Clooney coming off the black sedan, and gave an American military salute to the other party from afar and walked over quickly.

"I actually put the signature collection book at home!" The other party smiled and greeted him. The two walked straight to the flower bed. He said, "The director called me, he wanted to see you!"

"Maybe he wants to fry me with his own hands." This person who doesn't talk much at work rarely smiles.

The camera is on the side of the two, only one foot away at most, but Ryan and George Clooney have been in the industry for many years and don't care about the camera at all.

"Tony, he wants to give you the Intelligence Star Medal!"

With this sentence, Ryan showed a hint of surprise on his face indifferently, and the person opposite continued, "You are about to win the highest excellent award from the secret American organization, and the award ceremony is on the 14th floor."

In Hollywood movies, what should we do in the face of such moments?

Of course it will not be humble, nor will it be the result of a certain leader, nor will it be a few big and empty slogans.

North American movies never stingy with showing family and affection, especially the description of a legendary hero.

"If it is postponed for a week, I can bring Ian." The first thing that comes to mind by Ryan is certainly family, "He has winter vacation next week."

"The action is confidential, and the award ceremony is confidential." The other party said helpless words, "Ian can't know, no one can know."

"So they will give me the award and then take it back?" Ryan showed a clear look.

"That's right!" the person opposite nodded, "If we wanted to hear the applause, we would have chosen to join the circus."

He patted Ryan on the shoulder and strode towards the Cia Building.

"Isn't this a circus?" Ryan slowly turned around, and George Clooney turned his head at the same time, and said as he walked forward, "Jimmy Carter said you are a very amazing American!"

Ryan smiled briefly and soon returned to his inherent calmness.

"Okay, it's time to finish work!"

After George Clooney went to the camera to check it out, he quickly asked the assistant to send a notice of retreat.

After getting into his car, Ryan said to the driver, "Go back to Washington, DC."

The CIA's headquarters is at the junction of Washington, DC and Virginia. The crew stays at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC, which is the hotel where Ronald Reagan was assassinated by John Hinckley.

Cia is not like F-force and the White House. Due to its particularity, it is never open to the public for visits. Only customers, employees and government employees who are related to their work can enter. Ryan never thought of going to a spy agency to visit. It would be better to go back to Washington for a few rounds.

It was still early, so he did not go back to the hotel directly, but asked his car to go around the Lincoln Memorial Hall. Although he had been here before, he rarely had time to visit everywhere.

Speaking of which, apart from this shooting, the last time I came to Washington was still the same as when I was a child.

It seems that it was when "Jurassic Park" premiered? Ryan seemed to be able to see the shadow of the National Museum of Nature through the car window.

In fact, in recent years, the White House has invited him to attend the White House Press Association dinner that entertains celebrities, journalists, media people and wealthy people, but Ryan rarely takes time to come, most of which are Nicole or send Kingsley to attend.

The Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial are also buildings that are highly photogenic in Hollywood movies, and of course they are also targets of destruction. If you count Hollywood movies in detail, these two places will be destroyed at least ten times.

Ryan did not get out of the car and was watched. He just slowed down the driver a little. When he passed by the door of the Lincoln Memorial, he saw another crew filming here.

Although I didn't watch it very carefully, Ryan knew that this was the crew of Warner Bros. After a long period of preparation, the crew of "Wonder Woman" officially started filming in Washington a few days ago, and the actor who played Princess Diana was Natalie's friend from Israel.

In this way, the first work of DC Comics that wanted to break the predicament and break through the siege was neither "Superman" nor "Batman", but "Wonder Woman", which once created the glory of Batman series of movies, was once again highly expected by Time Warner.

There were many reporters around the crew. Ryan had no idea to get out of the car and cause trouble. After the car drove past the door of the memorial hall, he withdrew his gaze.

In fact, as long as you deal with Princess Diana's enemies and her feminist ideas, and to find a suitable enemy, the movie will not become a big pit like "Return of Superman" in your previous life.

At several parties, Ryan also heard from Warner people that the opponent set by DC for Wonder Woman would be female traitors who are also Amazonians and Ares, one of the gods of Mount Olympus, to avoid touching the sensitive psychology of male audiences as much as possible.

Over the next week, Ryan followed the crew around Washington, DC, and shot some scattered shots, then rushed back to California, shooting a lot of pictures of Shiite parades in an Islamic community. After December arrived, all Tony Mendez's scenes finally ended.
