Chapter 2031 2033 [Ghost Rider]
Spielberg smiled wryly after hearing this.
After all, it was Xiang Nan who was willing to spend 100 to 200 million dollars to make his wife happy.
Another person might not have the courage.
At least he didn't. His current wife is also an artist, and she has acted as the heroine in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 Legend of the Magic Palace", but he never thought of spending tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to let his wife be the heroine (married her after the movie was finished) matter).
…
The filming of "The Transient Universe" then started.
Zeng Jiang and Shu Chang received invitations and came to Hollywood.
Zeng Jiang and Shu Chang are very happy to be able to come here to film.
Xiangjiang movies have been in decline for more than ten years. Although Zeng Jiang still makes movies, he hasn't made a high-quality movie for a long time.
For an old actor who is pursuing the acting career, not having a good movie to shoot is no less than an old gourmet drinking porridge every day, which is extremely uncomfortable.
He has already read the script of "The Transient Universe". Although he doesn't understand it very well, he believes it is a good script.
And Shu Chang is even happier.
Although she made her debut early, she has also filmed many scenes, but she has always been tepid.
This probably also has something to do with her personality. She just doesn’t like to fight, doesn’t like hype, and she reads, travels, and stays at home when she has free time.
Unlike some artists, when they have free time, they go around to wine parties and dance parties, soliciting connections, going through the back door, and begging for higher positions.
After the news of taking over the role in this drama came out, she immediately became the focus of the mainland media, and her exposure increased slightly.
Firstly, "Instant Universe" is starring Xiang Nan, with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars. Movies are officially famous internationally.
So Shu Chang starred in that movie, and he will definitely become popular like you.
So, very few advertisers invite you to be an endorsement, few magazines invite you to be on the cover, few TV stations invite you to be on the show, and even few crews delay booking you...all for your coldness.
That also makes you the most envied person among mainland male stars.
In addition, if I want to get the opportunity to film in Hollywood, I know how much effort and sacrifice I have to pay. But Shu Chang dropped a small cake out of the air out of his mouth.
It's really annoying to compare people to people.
…
At the end of April, the filming of "The Transient Universe" officially started.
At the same time, Universal Pictures is also releasing the movie "Ghost Rider" starring Chace Crawford, Lyndsey Fonseca, etc., telling the story of the heroine Johnny Blazer who was attacked by the demon king Morpheus. The deceitful deception of the ghost knight, selling his soul to become a ghost knight, helping the lord of **** to harvest evil souls, and finally smashing the evil plan of the Cao Qing Society with the power of the ghost knight.
The original version of "Ghost Rider" was starred by Nicolas Cage. Cage was also a fan of the superhero, and even had a tattoo of the Ghost Rider pattern under his body.
So I chose the newly popular college student Chace Crawford as the leading role, and I played Nate Archibald in "Gossip Boy", which was loved by fans because of its handsome appearance.
The male lead chose Lyndsy Fonseca, who became popular because of your appearance in the American drama "Nikita". The appearance is beautiful and the smile is sweet.
Ghost Rider is one of the most popular characters in Marvel Comics.
One is because my fire-breathing skull is so cool and unattractive to readers; seven is that Ghost Rider is an anti-hero. trouble.
The kind of character that is both good and evil is naturally more popular than a good guy.
The original version of "Ghost Rider" was actually not well filmed. There were too few foreshadowing scenes, which caused the front scenes to spread out too late.
Like why the Jurassic competed for the scroll of St. Van Gonzale, why Mephisto deceived the heroine, etc. have come to explain. Especially the Jurassic Eight Demons, the Wind Demons, Water Demons, and Earth Demons, died so intelligently, so Xiang Nan made adjustments when writing the script.
Slowed down the rhythm of the movie and added fighting scenes, making the whole movie more exciting and enjoyable to watch.
Sure enough, before such adjustments, "Ghost Rider" won quite a bad box office.
The box office in the United States is 140 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office is nearly 700 million U.S. dollars. For a movie starring a newcomer with an investment of over forty million dollars, that movie can be regarded as a very successful one.
…
In April, Universal Pictures released "Caoqinghui Park 5".
In that one, mankind finally found the key to solving the dinosaur crisis, and the future of mankind reappeared. It's just that for careerists, it's a small bad news.
So around that key point, human beings, careerists and dinosaurs began to compete again.
The series of "Witch Heart Demon Park" is actually completely related to the original work. Just like the "Resident Evil" series, except for the fact that the names of the movies and games are the same, the stories are quite different.
The disadvantage of doing that is that the movie has to be recognized by fans of the original work, but the advantage is that it can get rid of the shackles of the original work and make more imaginative adaptations.
While the script of "Witchcraft Park 5" is jointly compiled by the screenwriter department of Universal Pictures, the storyline is still not guaranteed.
It’s like the movies of the Marvel universe, even if the story is routine, the story is still missing, the rhythm is still very smooth, and each one is a qualified popcorn work.
Coupled with the gorgeous special effects and grand scenes, as well as the good reputation established by the later work, it can often get the wrong box office.
The same is true for "Witch Heart Demon Park 5". With a qualified story and gorgeous visual effects, it can get a very good box office.
The final North American box office was 140 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office exceeded 700 million U.S. dollars. For a movie with an investment of less than 100 million US dollars, it is already quite a bad result.
Therefore, "Witch Heart Demon Park 6" was moved off the schedule again. In that installment, humanity will truly begin the apocalypse of the dinosaurs, and the Witch Park series will come to an end.
Actually, after the series of movies were filmed, it was time to say goodbye to Xiaojia. Because the story of dinosaurs has almost been written, if you continue to shoot, you can write a good story, and you can only overdraw the IP.
Since this is the case, it is like stopping. Wait until ten or seventy years ago, before that generation of audiences gets old, before announcing a restart. In Hollywood, very few film companies do that.
And "Witchcraft Park" is already very wrong.
From filming in the early 1940s to the present, it has been filming for nearly 70 years, and it is really rare that every film can get a good box office.
In the history of Hollywood movies, there are many similar examples.
