Chapter 173 Casting to see the face, the prophecy is correct, the movie schedule, ready to board the ship
Of course, Roland has no intention of starting a new project, or in other words, before Kevin Fitch's bald head found him, he would only use Spider-Man among all Marvel's IPs.
As the saying goes, 'use magic to defeat magic'... Ahh! It is 'Let the profession promote growth'.
The first thirty years of that bald man's life were spent in the oceans of DC and Marvel. Before he made money, the value of just one wall in his home was more than 20 million yuan. If fans arrange the movie sequence, Roland can save a lot of worry.
That's right! He is such a good leader who wants to let go of power and be lazy.
Of course, if you don’t do it yourself, it doesn’t mean you can’t find actors in advance!
Roland has always felt that, except for some specific characters, such as "Yang Di" in "Kill Bill", or the "Dark Black" angel in "Miracle on the Green Mile", at least one other character can be seen at a glance. Going up, you can't make people play because of the other person's appearance.
Roland understands that it is very impolite to evaluate a person's appearance, but he has to admit that in the profession of an actor, being good-looking is an advantage over ordinary people.
Although Dwayne Johnson habitually shakes his eyebrows, it doesn't matter. With a bald head and a face, he can eat as an actor. As long as he keeps playing tough guys, don't try to play blind men who are good at dancing and try to seduce girls with this. No matter how he repeats himself on the screen, at least it won't make people play at a glance.
As for Sophie Turner…
Roland has always thought that the three idiots in the first four seasons of "Game of Thrones" are very beautiful, but after joining the mutant family and standing with the eldest cousin, the originally very beautiful guy can cause countless slots.
Question: Why doesn’t the Mystique played by the big cousin look strong?
Answer: Because the three fools are stronger than the big cousin.
Super British movies really can’t choose actors with big skeletons, because 99% of people don’t see how amazing female superheroes are at all.
In "Iron Man 2", no matter how hard the Black Widow is, what the audience cares about is Scarlett Johansson's beauty;
How boring is the plot of "Wonder Woman", just relying on slow motion to watch Gal Gadot in all directions without dead ends;
The sea queen Mera in "Aquaman" is a bonus item for the movie;
But "Birds of Prey" completely ruined the popularity of the audience.
Harley Quinn is not ugly, but beautiful, but what are the other characters chosen!
Batwoman and Harley Quinn together, at first glance, even make people have the idea of horror that DC and Marvel have merged!
Ella Basco, who plays Batwoman Cain, and Jacob Batland, the friend of Little Spider, are like thieves, and it's a drama at first sight!
Not to mention that she and Awkwafina are also highly confronted. When watching her performance, you even have to worry about whether Dwayne Johnson's bald head will suddenly fall from the sky, and then raise his left arm to have a look, it's a flower! Lost a life.
In this way, Roland will think of Phoenix Girl who was born as a Bond girl.
If you want to shoot mutants in the future, Aunt Jason is quite suitable.
Although Roland, like James, doesn't like watching the "007" series very much. He thinks that the unchanging plot is not as fun as the "Mission Impossible" series, but at least in terms of casting actresses, "007" is not missing.
You can give more meaning to the heroine in a commercial blockbuster, but the premise is that she must look good!
If it is relatively ordinary, then try to reduce the opponent's playing time!
Of course, even if Roland told James the idea of seeing a beautiful woman wash his eyes, that guy would not be able to understand.
Not only that, but Roland may also be regarded as a guy who conspires against a beautiful actress.
So, after finding a random reason to prevaricate, for Roland, the ninety-five years without self-production have passed.
In addition, "The Shawshank Redemption" has already applied for various competitions last year, so even if the major organizing committees are interested in applauding it, the award has nothing to do with the film, let alone "The Seven Deadly Sins", there is no way to explain it clearly The flaw in the logic is that the major awards will not favor it, but this is good, at least it can save Roland money in terms of winning awards.
He doesn't care about the awards himself, and he wants to pay for other people's public relations for various awards?
Really think his brain is broken?
...
"Hiss... the weather is really cold!" As soon as Roland entered the room, the sky was full of wind and snow, and the white snowflakes fell on the carpet, and within two seconds, they were completely roasted by the high temperature in the room.
James Cameron, who opened the door for Roland, patted him on the shoulder, signaling not to stand at the door. After Roland got out of his way, the truck driver quickly closed the door, trying to block the roaring sound from the outside. .
"Wipe it off." The old man handed over a towel, "You're covered in water."
"If you didn't call me over at this time, I wouldn't get water all over me."
Roland directly covered the towel on his head, as if giving a dog a bath, and rubbed the dog's head angrily. After rubbing for about half a minute, his wet head turned into a hedgehog, and then he took off his coat, hanging on very familiarly On the hanger by the door.
Following his movements, the jacket that had already been wet by the wind and snow naturally drooped down. If you observe carefully, you will find that there are countless water droplets gathering at the corner of the clothes. landed.
With a snap, it shattered into pieces.
"Don't shirk responsibility indiscriminately!"
Seeing that Roland wanted to blame himself, the truck driver said with a beard and a stare: "Who made the accident happen so suddenly? No one knew that natural disasters would occur frequently in the past two years!"
That's right, when Roland won big with "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Shawshank Redemption", the entertainment industry was in bad luck again.
Those guys who ridiculed in the summer of 1995, after experiencing the heavy rain and flood at the beginning of the year, the heat wave of death in the middle of the year, and whether there will be another ice age at the end of the year, the prophecy is correct!
Just after Christmas, just after 1995, on January 6, 1996, a winter blizzard that occurred once in a century hit eighteen states in eastern America. In just three days, 85 people died, and as many as 1.8 billion economic losses.
From January 17th, the blizzard wind speed reached 115 miles per hour, affecting the entire America.
What is the concept of 115 miles per hour?
Just like in the movie "Tornado".
Even if you hug a tree, when a tornado hits, it can send you away with the tree and people.
As for wanting to rely on tonnage alone to resist tornadoes?
This is more unrealistic than staying in the Mediterranean Sea, breathing in the breath of freedom, listening to the news that the Dow Jones Index plummeted by more than 1,000 points that day, and then witnessing the Grand Commander being stuffed into a cannon and shooting at the sun!
The powerful blizzard caused severe floods, causing damage to 300,000 houses and roads and other infrastructure, and the economic loss exceeded 3 billion US dollars. However, with the warning, the death toll is still more than five ten people.
In the case of such natural disasters, which are rare in a hundred years, Hollywood entertainment companies that cannot recover their payments on time due to natural disasters have died batch after batch, and the giants are even more difficult to accept this fact.
The guys who swore and teased at the beginning are now slapping themselves—
Make your mouth cheap!
If "Toy Story" hadn't been released for more than a month, Steve Jobs and Disney would cry to death;
Only half a month after its release, "Game of the Brave" encountered extreme weather, which made Sony call it a blood loss!
They made a lot of money by publishing "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Shawshank Redemption". They thought that after the reappearance of "James of the Brave", the financial statements in 1995 would be directly popular. Let's take a look now...
Flat is already good!
Of course, compared with these crowd-eating commercial films, the most unlucky ones are actually this year's award-winning films.
Because of this year's awards season public relations activities, all of them were completely washed away by natural disasters.
At the beginning of last year, heavy rains and floods lasted for a few weeks. The hardest-hit area was only California, and other places were relatively stable, but what about this year?
The whole of America is enjoying the fear of being dominated by a snowstorm!
Faced with this kind of indiscriminate attack, all public relations dinners, private gatherings, and invitations to negotiate have all stopped!
Even if the public relations staff don't care, the judges should spare their lives!
Under such circumstances, the ones that hurt the most are actually those films for the Olympics that were stuck in release as in previous years.
For example, the Weinstein brothers customized "Flastic Lending Questions" for Robert Downey Jr., as Downey's "self" biography, this movie that wanted to hit the Oscar winner didn't even get a hair.
No way, who made it stuck at the embarrassing time of December 29th?
The movie was buried by the blizzard without even showing it for a week.
Of course, the losses of these guys have something to do with Roland... well, it actually has something to do with Roland.
There are too many superstitious people in Hollywood. After discovering that Roland is not only immune to external forces, but can also earn money by stepping on the beat, there are too many people who want to follow suit and get bonuses.
Right now, this is the case.
After a year, with the strong support of Industrial Light and Magic, the special effects of "Spider-Man" have been completed. According to the normal rhythm, when the film will premiere and when it will be released, this is a matter of discussion between the publisher and the producer. ' decided, and now...
Sony quit.
In Sony's words, that means the copyright belongs to Roland, the characters belong to Roland, and the production belongs to Roland. Roland will decide when it will be released. After Roland confirms the time, he will directly call the person who was promoted Evelyn will do.
We just wait to collect the money, and you can do whatever you want.
As long as you can make money, what is power?
They are not the Metropolitan Police Department in "Hot Blood Detective". The better Roland is, the happier Sony is.
"Then why are the two of us talking about the release time of the movie?"
After taking the lemon soda from Linda Hamilton, he nodded his thanks, and then turned his attention to the truck driver.
"Because I cut the movie."
"Ah, I see..."
Roland interrupted the truck driver's words, and if he asked the other party to continue, he would become a big bastard.
What do you mean by not doing anything!
He obviously believes in the power of professionalism!
"Then what are your thoughts?" Roland asked tentatively.
"I have no idea." The truck driver gave Roland a blank look, and the meaning couldn't be clearer, "If this kind of superhero movie is not released in the summer vacation, it would be a waste! I think it will be released on July 3 just like "Terminator 2" It couldn't be better!"
While talking, the truck driver also took out a stack of filming date sheets from the drawer under the coffee table.
The above records are all the confirmation dates of the film files of various film companies.
Although Roland is confident that with the IP of "Spider-Man" and the current lineup, it is impossible for the movie to hit the market no matter what, but to be honest, after being crushed back and forth by such natural disasters and social focus, he is really discouraged .
If you ask him to tell the content of a movie, he can pull as much as 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan, but if you ask him to recall the big events every year after that, then he will also remember the Asian financial crisis, the Nasdaq Internet bubble, etc. something.
As for other focus content?
He can only recall the ninety-nine non-disclosure agreement!
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have omniscient abilities, just look at the schedule and find those blockbuster movies!
Phenomena and disasters cannot coexist most of the time!
After Roland glanced at the filming schedules of various companies, he raised his eyebrows, who wanted to directly agree to the truck driver.
Cameron wants to release the movie on July 3rd?
Grab the grass!
Isn't this courting death!
Movies released on July 3rd include Will Smith's "Independence Day"!
This movie cannot be justified anyway!
Because the title of the film represents everything!
As a movie produced under the banner of Independence Day and "Declaration of Independence", the selling point of "Independence Day" is actually the same as that of "Wolf Warrior 2". Although Will Smith's popularity is incomparable with Roland, there is a main theme after all. endorsement.
The guys who want to fight against the main theme are all brains.
As for forcing "Independence Day" to change files?
That's even more impossible!
Because the Fourth of July is Independence Day!
Just like Li Jiaqi shouted with lipstick—
‘Buy, buy, buy! Miss a day, wait a year! Sisters, hurry up and buy it! '
On the issue of making money, film companies will not compromise.
"No, no, no, no, not on July 3rd." Roland, who wanted to agree, shook his head again and again, sweating, "I heard that this movie will be screened in the White House first, and you want me to beat my own people? That's unrealistic, right? Bar?"
"Uh-huh~" The truck driver snorted and stopped talking.
He just mentioned it.
How could he not know that a movie like "Independence Day" that clearly sells national feelings is not good?
After rejecting the release date of July 3, Roland also scanned all the scheduled movies before "Independence Day".
There is a saying that persimmons should be picked softly. Since the summer cake is determined to be shared, there is no need to look at the days before May and after July. As for June...
"How do you feel about June 7th?"
"On that day, there was only one Nicolas Cage's "Into the Island."
"Forward, on May 22, Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible", after that, on June 14, Jim Carrey's "Kingsman", and after that, On the 21st, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Vaporization Order" and Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", and on the 28th Eddie Murphy's "Professor Fat..."
"them…"
“Better than Independence Day.”
"Pfft..."
Hearing what Roland said, the truck driver immediately laughed.
Leaning on the sofa, he raised his hand and tapped his temple, and said: "In your brain, "Independence Day" and Will Smith are your own people, Nicolas Cage, Tom Cruise, Arnold- Is Schwarzenegger not one of his own?"
"You moved the movie to June 7th, because you want to kill a group of them!"
"Now I can imagine, if you let this group of guys know that you think they are better than 'Independence Day', what kind of expression these people will have... Probably, they will directly ask you to PK in the street, right? "
"Don't talk nonsense!" Roland curled his lips when he heard the teasing words, "Just say what you want?"
"Uh..." The truck driver pretended to think for a while, and then said, "It's the same as I thought."
That’s right, when there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, the truck driver is also focusing on the June gear.
What?
Compared to "Independence Day", which is the back tiger, "Mission: Impossible" is not worthy of the title of "wolves" at all?
right!
"Mission: Impossible" is not a pack of wolves, it is just one of them.
The real wolf is the disaster blockbuster "Tornado" released on May 10.
What is "Tornado" about?
Truck drivers don't know.
But he knows that "Tornado" is a Steven Spielberg production movie, and that's enough.
Unlike other companies, special effects commercial films led by Amblin seldom fail to hit, and in this case, it is already very good to get a June slot. After all, this year, only the Jewish gang booked the top ten box office. Some of the most famous movies include "Tornado", "Mission: Impossible", "Ransom Storm", "Into the Deadly Island", "Fake Phoenix"...
It’s much better to knock out a piece of "Into the Deadly Island", which is better than directly tearing up the beep with Spielberg, or having a tough fight with the main theme "Independence Day". Ten copies, half of which are exclusive to the Jewish gang special code. Seeing this kind of good product rate, the truck driver said he was not envious, it was all fake...
but…
In the Jewish gang, isn’t the biggest bug here?
Watching Roland call Evelyn and ask her to arrange "Spider-Man" to be released on June 7, and after making the premiere arrangement and various promotional plans according to the release time, the truck driver picked up the movie from the drawer under the coffee table. Pulled out a stack of papers.
"Wow... why do you guys like to talk to me in files now?"
As soon as he saw the document, Roland had a headache.
Because he felt that this might be another financing report.
But the truck driver ignored his complaints at all, and said directly: "Open it."
"Okay, you are Boss..." Roland shook his head slightly and sighed, "You don't want me to invest in your submarine project again, do you?"
"I'm serious, I'm not impressed with your sub plan...Fuck! The boat is already built?"
Before he finished speaking, his voice was pulled up.
Hearing this sound, the truck driver laughed.
In his opinion, Roland's surprise was completely expected.
"Certainly." The truck driver nodded, and while Roland was staring at the photo on the file, he raised his hand and walked away with Roland's cell phone, turning it off immediately, "The boat is almost ready."
"Or, since last summer, after "Spider-Man" finished filming and we separated, I used Fox's money to buy land, dug a hole, filled it with water, and built half a floating boat. The... Titanic on the water."
"Okay, I admit it, it's the Titanic hanging on the water by steel wires."
"But it doesn't matter, people can go up anyway."
"Except that some interiors still need a month or two to be perfected, everything else is almost complete."
"It's already January 1996. According to our original agreement, the rest of your time belongs to me."
"How about it, would you like to fly to Mexico with me if you are interested?"
"I heard that you have been annoyed by those weird phone calls lately?"
"Then how about boarding the ship with me? Anyone who dares to call, I will scold him to death!"
Before the words fell, Roland raised his head.
While he was looking around, the truck driver had already raised his turned off mobile phone and smiled at him.
Note: ①At the beginning of 1996, from the 6th to the 9th, and from the 17th to the 6th of February, the entire United States was hit by extremely bad weather, and many movies were affected. ②Todd Black is the producer of "The Brave Seven". When making this film, he complained about Sony. The Green Light Committee gave him the script commentary "why do cowboys wear cowboy hats and beards?" He replied "cowboys don't need revolvers Not riding a horse', and then passed; the director of "Burst Drummer" also complained about Sony. Sony asked him to delete the drumming solo at the end. 'This is the highlight of the ending', and then passed; in 2017, Sony was a new media company, and wanted to cut the movies in the library into a harmonious version, but everyone protested. The Directors Association issued a document, asking Sony not to touch those classics, and Sony Cleverly handed over the rights to the director and let them figure it out. Sony's decentralization regardless of the release time is not scribbled, but in reality they are just weird. ③Of the top ten movies at the box office in 1996, five were produced by the Jewish gang. In many cases, they couldn't arrange their own schedules, and the yield rate was too high. ④ "Independence Day" is an American movie with the main theme. Clinton watched it at the White House, and he, who is seeking re-election, endorsed the movie. ⑤ Don't say that I got the time of "Big Boat" wrong. In reality, the digging started in September 1995, and the filming of the ink marks was done in July 1996. The total shooting time was seven months, and it was finished in February 1997. It is said that filming started in 1995, please check the BBC's filming schedule, please? At that time, Winslet was filming "Jude the Obscure" and "Hamlet" in England.
