Chapter 2039 2041 [Hollywood three do not touch]
The stars are all seafood prices, and they are famous today, and the salary for a movie is several million dollars. Tomorrow is out of breath, and if it drops to hundreds of thousands of dollars, no one may be willing to hire it.
Many celebrities develop the habit of squandering when they are popular. When they are out of breath, the habit cannot be changed for a while, and they still spend money according to the habit when they were popular, which will naturally cause huge losses.
Many Hollywood stars, music stars, NBA stars, and boxing champions went bankrupt because of this.
Johnny Depp is actually the same. Although he is still young, it is impossible for him to star in new films such as "Sweeney Todd", "Public Enemy" and "Deadly Companion" to pay as much as he did in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
Because the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series can lack anyone, except Captain Jack, so he can ask for a high salary. It is not uncommon for a movie to take away one or two billion dollars.
But movies like "Sweeney Todd" and "Public Enemy" don't have to use him. Naturally, it is impossible for him to ask for the salary. If he can get 20 to 30 million dollars, it is considered high, and it may even be reduced. It is also possible to take over the film with a salary, so the income has dropped significantly.
But he usually spends money, but he still follows the standard when he was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", so naturally he can't make ends meet.
Therefore, in order to avoid his own financial crisis, he took over the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and also signed three new film contracts with Universal for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
…
"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was released, and its reputation was not as good as the first three.
After all, after watching the first three parts, the audience's appetite has been whetted. Especially at the end of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the nine pirate kings fought against the British navy. The momentum, scenes, and sense of history have been fully drawn.
And "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is just looking for the fountain of youth. Compared with the grand theme of the first three films, it is only equivalent to a side story, and the response is not so good.
However, even so, the return of Captain Jack still makes fans very happy. Therefore, in the end, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" has a North American box office of 230 million US dollars and a global box office of more than one billion US dollars.
Such a good box office result proves that Captain Jack can still play. Therefore, Universal Pictures immediately arranged "Pirates of the Caribbean 5".
…
One year, January.
Xiang Nan finalized the production plan for the new year.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1 and 2), The Incredible Hulk, Gambit 2, Morbius, The Hangover 2, Taken, Boss and Men in Black 3".
"Twilight Saga 4" continues to tell the love story of Bella and Edward; "Gambit 2" will ask Mr. Sinister to restart the timeline of the X-Men universe; "The Hangover 2" continues The nonsense life; "Men in Black 3" agent J will travel back to the past to save the world.
Morbius the vampire, is a member of Marvel's midnight children superhero team. He was originally a genius doctor, but unfortunately he suffered from a rare blood disease.
In order to cure the disease, he used vampire bats for treatment. Although the blood disease was cured, the side effects also made him a person who needs to constantly **** blood, so he called himself a vampire and joined the Midnight Sons team.
This character is actually very attractive. On the one hand, he has outstanding talent, but in order to cure blood disease, he is forced to become a vampire, which is very tragic.
On the one hand, although he is a vampire, he is unwilling to hurt others. He **** the artificial blood made by himself, and is willing to fight crimes and help the poor. From this point of view, he is a hero.
So this character is actually very rare, living in the dark, yearning for the light, similar to the situation of anti-heroes such as Ghost Rider, Blade Warrior, and Punisher, so the Midnight Sons team was formed.
Marvel’s Midnight Sons movie universe is different from the X-Men movie universe, Spider-Man movie universe, and Avengers movie universe. This movie universe is all anti-hero movies, and it’s a world made up of magic and science.
Darker, crueler, more ruthless, more bloodthirsty, and the movies made are at least PG13. This kind of comic-changing movie can bring a different viewing experience to the audience, and it is also an effective supplement to other Marvel movies.
…
"Evil Boss" tells the story of three unlucky people in the workplace who were cheated by unscrupulous bosses, and decided to find ways to get back at the boss.
Encountering trouble in the workplace is inevitable for every wage earner. Especially the squeeze and bullying from the boss is unavoidable, which makes people extremely painful.
Therefore, it is the voice of every wage earner to fight back against unscrupulous bosses. Therefore, the comedy "Evil Boss" must have a future.
"Taken" tells the story of a retired agent resolutely going to a foreign country to rescue his daughter after being kidnapped.
The original version was starring Liam Neeson, and it took three films in a row, each of which had a good box office and reputation, and was praised by movie fans for this reason, and even formed a hot meme, called the Hollywood Three Do’s and Don’ts.
One does not touch Keanu Reeves' dog, he is in the "Quick Chase" series, because a dog group wiped out the entire Russian gang; two does not touch Jason Statham's courier, he is in "The Playing the role of a courier in "Taxi Express", in order to deliver the courier to the designated place on time, it is simply a **** blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.
The last one is the daughter of Liam Neeson. In the "Taken" series, he also slaughtered to save his daughter, and no one can beat him.
Xiang Nan knew that this movie was wonderful, so he decided to make this movie.
…
In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went home to visit their parents. After the Spring Festival, I returned to Hollywood.
While in the mainland, Xiang Nan interviewed some mainland female artists for "Taken".
However, to his disappointment, although there are many actresses born in the 1990s, there are very few who are good at acting and can show their talents.
On the one hand, with the influx of capital from the mainland entertainment industry, the time for artists to become popular is getting earlier and earlier. Before they have mastered enough acting skills, they have already become popular under the operation of capital. After they become popular, TAs are busy making money by acting as endorsements, so they don't have time to concentrate on their acting skills.
On the one hand, with the influx of capital, bad money drives out good money. Capital can buy ratings and popularity to create the illusion that drama series and movies are popular, causing a large number of bad movies and dramas to occupy the market.
And really good dramas, because they spend all their money on production, they have no money for marketing and hype, so they can't compete with those bad movies and dramas. Over time, bad dramas and movies naturally prevailed. Artists always act in bad movies and dramas, so naturally it is impossible to cultivate good acting skills.
