Chapter 482: News of "Avengers", Fan Bingbing's opportunity? ! "Even if the Wind Rises" is to be released!
Wang Shicong is Wanda Film's sincerity to Guan Ling. He plays the son of the rich man who killed the pregnant woman in "Wild Stories", and You Benchang plays the rich man.
This was contacted by Guan Ling personally. Anyway, this drama is a bit crazy, so it might as well be more crazy.
Nowadays, Mr. Wanda is also a very popular name on the Internet.
In April, during the Wang Xiaofei incident, Wang Sicong publicly criticized Wang Xiaofei's mother in South Beauty on her Weibo. Wang Xiaofei called her a "smelly idiot" in the comments, which instantly made her famous.
As a common Weibo expert who shows off his wealth.
At this moment, Wang Shicong has not yet reached the stage where changing Internet celebrities is like changing clothes. He is simply thinking about your juices all day long with a girl who makes him look like a girl on Weibo.
Or publish some articles to show off their wealth, such as "The third one this year, the thirtieth in total, the declining book and the room director attended at the same time, rare".
In just a few months, Wang Shicong attracted the attention of many green tea bitches, black fungus and diaosi.
Being scolded by Wang Xiaofei, one of the four young masters in the capital, made Wang Shicong even more angry.
Since then, Wang Sicong has gained the title of an Internet celebrity.
But how to break out of the circle again? He hasn't found a new path yet. He just watches the IG team and plays games every day, and a little sprout is born in his heart.
In this case, Guan Ling's invitation made Wang Sicong very excited.
After communicating with his father, Mr. Wang was deeply pleased and asked Wang Shicong to give it a try. This was better than teasing female internet celebrities on the Internet.
Maybe we can also take a look at Guan Ling’s skills. After all, Wanda wants to get involved in upstream filming in the future.
The matter was settled.
But on major portals and forums, people have different opinions.
"With capital on the scene, can Wang Sicong make a movie?"
"I always feel that this time Guan Ling or Ning Hao, this time the movie will collapse. It is difficult to handle filming with so many big names, and now there is a young master rich man, how can the studio handle it?"
"Maybe others can't, Guan Ling? Who dares to go against him?"
"There's nothing wrong with what he said. Even if Ning Hao can't hold it back, Guan Ling is here to let it go. If these stars really thought they were powerful and thought they were worthy enough to look down on Guan Ling's script, they wouldn't have joined in the first place. ! ”
……
The news of casting for the new drama is coming soon.
Especially at this speed, it was like a whirlwind blowing in the entertainment industry.
Entering mid-September, related news quickly climbed to the top of the trend list in the entertainment industry.
Various forums are full of comments about the actors in this drama and how to allocate roles, but there are also more animation fans who feel that their patience is coming to an end.
Everyone is criticizing you on the Internet for not making animated movies, but you actually keep making all sorts of weird things for everyone.
There is no news about the animated movie at all!
The most important thing is that Guan Ling still ignores these little black people, and the little black people feel that their anger on the Internet is like hitting cotton with a punch.
"Director Guan, can you lead one of your characters to save me from the fire and water?"
When Sun Honglei called Guan Ling, his voice was full of enthusiasm and expectation.
During this period of time, Sun Honglei felt that he was a little jade.
After "Warring States", the world's malice rushed towards him crazily. The money he earned was so much, but equivalent to it was the psychological damage and mental damage this movie caused to him.
In fact, he has a lot of roles this year. Some time ago, he was filming the movie "I Do", which is expected to be released on Valentine's Day next year. In the movie, Sun Honglei played the image of a wealthy man.
But for now the drama is over.
Sun Honglei still hasn't found any new job.
Instead, he is busy promoting the TV series "FHM" that will be broadcast in October this year. This drama is his renewed cooperation with director Zhao Baogang, and it is also a new track for his subversive image, that of a gentle otaku.
At first, Guan Ling didn't ask him for Guan Ling's movie, and he didn't want to join.
Because he really wanted to rest for a while, and he also accepted a new script called "Border Storm". The image of a drug dealer in it attracted him very much.
But when he saw Jing Tian joining Ning Hao's new movie, Sun Honglei couldn't sit still at all.
"Everything I have lost, I will take back with my own hands!"
Sun Honglei really hopes to star in this movie, just to prove that if Ning Hao directs this movie well, it will prove that the previous "Warring States" was not directed well. All responsibility has nothing to do with him.
The reason for the previous drama was really Jingtian and the screenwriter and director. Please don’t continue to scold me Sun Honglei in the future!
Anyway, the meaning is very simple.
To wash away the shame caused by making a movie with Jing Tian.
In this way, when everyone mentions "Warring States" in the future, they may think that Sun Honglei and Jingtian have collaborated on a very good work.
Anyway, Sun Honglei didn't really believe that the work directed by Ning Hao and written by Guan Ling could be too bad.
If the effect is really not good, then control the variables, and the blame will easily be placed on Jingtian.
Every time I go, it's perfect.
"I really want to star in this movie so that I can wash away my bad luck. Director Guan can just reimburse the fare when he has time. I don't have to pay for it."
“Really don’t want it?”
"How can it be false?" Sun Honglei said, "Director Guan, to tell you the truth, after you told me last time to eat more good food, I have always had a thorn in my heart, namely "Warring States" and Jingtian The thorn was given to me. I thought about it, I have to find her, make another movie with her, and remove the thorn with my own hands.”
"The main characters are basically gone now." Guan Ling couldn't help but laugh. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that in the kitchen unit, a middle-aged loan shark who was paired with Jingtian happened to have not yet decided on the role, so he asked, "What about How about you and Jingtian acting together?”
Sun Honglei was shocked.
"Huh? Real or fake?"
He wanted to pull out the thorn, but he was still a little timid about filming with Jingtian.
It's more like that one of his scenes with Jingtian is at the beginning of the film, and the other is at the end of the film, so it's best if the two of them don't see each other throughout the whole scene.
"I originally wanted Zhang Shi to play this role, but your image is only slightly suitable for this role. If you don't want to participate, then there will be no suitable role."
Guan Ling said.
Sun Honglei gritted his teeth and said, "That's okay. It seems that I have to grit my teeth and pull it out myself."
……
The news that Sun Honglei has joined "Wild Stories" has once again caused a surging heat wave in the industry.
At the same time, the most classic news in the film industry in September is the release of "Captain America".
Hollywood blockbusters came first, followed closely by "Bad Girls". At first, people thought that the summer movie, namely "Bad Girls", could hold up the final dignity of domestic films. Then everyone thought that "Captain America" would be like "Transformers" , like "Harry Potter", it completely swept the mainland film market.
At this time, the box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" was finally set at 760 million and it had been released.
"Captain America" can almost be said to have no rivals.
But the box office on the first day shocked everyone's jaws.
In North America, your drama took in US$66 million at the box office in its first three days in North America, becoming the weekend box office champion.
However, in Mainland China, the box office only achieved 7.89 million on the first day! Everyone was confused.
Many people were quite afraid of this movie before, and when they saw the results afterwards, everyone was a little confused.
"Why?"
Then, some film reviews were gradually revealed on the Internet.
"It's not a Marvel blockbuster at all. It can only be said to be about establishing a world view and attracting female audiences around the world. Muscles have the upper hand throughout the whole process. Perhaps the only word that can explain the plot of the entire film is mediocrity."
"A handsome guy who shakes his breasts promotes patriotism. An American must defend the United States, and a patriot must defend his country. These contents are very reasonable, but for a superhero movie that focuses on big scenes, this drama is really It is difficult to gain the support of more people. Both the layout and the scenes are too small. The background of World War II is not clear enough, and the fighting scenes are like child's play."
"Thanks to the popcorn machine, everyone can become a muscular superman after popping it!"
"Why is there such a huge gap in performance between China and the United States? Americans' evaluation is based on the quality of the 'movie adapted from a comic book,' while the Chinese evaluation standard is that the film is not a blockbuster. The difference in performance is only due to the different definitions of movies."
"Believe me, brothers, this is the American version of "The Anti-Japanese Heroes"!"
The domestic box office results are naturally clear to Hollywood.
Especially "Thor" and "Iron Man" have been released in mainland China before. Marvel understands the market and of course they have expectations.
But this result makes Marvel movies a little embarrassed.
In the following time, Captain America's achievements also began to develop at a low speed in the United States, and he soon disappeared from everyone.
Hollywood.
Marvel Studios.
Director Joe Johnston stopped at his desk after learning about the mainland box office results, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He knows very well that after this drama, he may no longer be able to make movies in the Marvel Universe.
The poor performance of "Captain America" in the mainland may not mean anything, but in the United States, the follow-up performance of this drama is also quite weak,
Compared to the US$140 million invested, the global box office was less than US$300 million, which was enough to declare the film a failure.
Moments later, a meeting was held at Marvel Studios.
"The failure of the Chinese market is unexpected for us, but the North American box office is very poor, and we will never tolerate it, so Qiao, you were fired."
The person in charge had a complicated expression. "Captain America" can be regarded as the final finale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the second half of this year.
But it's clear that the show was screwed up.
The person in charge will naturally have to find someone to take responsibility, and Joe Johnston is the best scapegoat.
In fact, this was also the case in his previous life. Since filming "Captain America", Joe Johnston has never directed a movie again, and the whole person seems to have disappeared in the long river of history.
Wait until Joe Johnston left the house.
There was silence in the large conference room.
The whole room was full of Western faces.
The person in charge looked around at the crowd and set the tone.
"Everyone, I am responsible for the failure of "Captain America" in the United States, but I cannot be responsible for the failure of "Captain America" in China. To be honest, so far, I still don't know why this drama has been released in China. Such a huge gap. "Thor" took over 30 million US dollars in mainland China, and "Iron Man 2" was at a similar level. However, "Captain America" only took over 10 million US dollars at the box office.
"Transformers 3" took in US$180 million in the mainland, which shows that there is a huge market for Hollywood blockbusters in the mainland, and we need to explore it, everyone. ”
As his voice came out, everyone fell into thinking.
"Guan, the founder of Skyline, previously made a movie called "The Hottest Girl" in China, which had no special effects at all and earned more than 100 million U.S. dollars at the box office. Their "Painted Skin" and "Wonderful West East" both set records I think we should never give up on the Chinese market.”
A bearded man looked at everyone and commented.
"We will release our "Avengers" next year. Compared with "Iron Man 2", "Captain America", "Thor" and other movies that are more about building a worldview, "Avengers" is We must pay attention to this movie, and we must not ignore the Chinese market!”
After finishing speaking, everyone around him nodded frequently.
"Avengers" invested US$220 million, almost most of which was spent on special effects shots.
Compared with several other films, this film is the mainstay of Marvel Studios next year and cannot withstand failure.
"So, do you guys have any plans?"
The person in charge narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at everyone around him.
"Join Chinese movie stars."
In the silence where a pindrop could be heard, a voice suddenly came out.
"I think we can add a Chinese movie star and let him play the role in the subsequent "Avengers", or even create a new movie for him alone."
He whispered, followed by another sentence.
"Or maybe, we can directly invite Guan to direct. After "Inception", Guan is qualified to direct Marvel movies independently. What's more, he has just filmed "Scarlet Witch" and is currently in post-production."
Finished saying these words.
The room was quiet.
Everyone knows that this topic is not easy to discuss, because the copyright of "Scarlet Witch" filmed by Guan Ling is negotiated with DC Films.
Previously, DC Films and Marvel Film Studios divided the copyrights of the Marvel world, and "Scarlet Witch" happened to be an accident.
Copyright exists on both sides.
This matter has always been a concern for Marvel Studios.
The person in charge was silent for a moment.
"I think maybe your idea is the most reasonable choice for us."
He looked at everyone, "We need to contact Guan and DC Movies.
Whether it is the exposure of "Scarlet Witch" that has been completed and the box office they are looking forward to, or the Chinese movie stars who want to enter Hollywood now, or our desire for the Chinese film market, we all need to sit down at a table On the table, talk.
It’s a win-win-win, which is good for us. ”
Everyone was silent, only the voice of the person in charge came out faintly,
"Others may not be able to,
But I think Guan and the Chinese Film Market behind him have this reputation, don’t they? ”
……
Magic City.
Guan Ling, who was working overtime like crazy, had just finished the last clip of "Even if the Wind Rises" when Fuling suddenly felt so moved that he sneezed.
"It seems like someone is talking about me?"
Guan Ling whispered.
I glanced out, and outside the window, the autumn wind suddenly started blowing!
