"La La Land" was completed, and Paramount held a finale at a hotel in Los Angeles.
Either the crew were present, as well as Sister Stone, Ryan, Gosling, Alexandra Dadario, Lily Collins and others.
Of course, Fan Binbin is far away in China, and he has no itinerary, so he did not come.
As the director, producer, producer, investor, and even arranger, Wang Shu was the most beautiful boy at the finale banquet from beginning to end.
This final banquet not only included crew members, but also Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Robert Downey Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li
As long as the actors and producers who live in Los Angeles and have no itinerary and have had many dealings with Wang Shu, come and support them.
The final banquet of such art films produced by a large director and a large film and television company is often not only a party for crew members, but also a small industry gathering.
Little Lizi and others came here not only for Wang Shu's sake, but also for the sake of Wang Shu's face, so that they could have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
As for some producers coming, they are taking this opportunity to talk to some actors and talk about whether they can cooperate.
Some young actors naturally seek to be attracted by the producers and then get opportunities.
In general, it can be good to sell Wang Shu, but also be busy with other things. "Shu, many people are not optimistic about your music and dance film. Are you really confident or fake?" Matt Damon found an opportunity to talk to Wang Shu.
After saying this, he said, "To be honest, I'm not optimistic."
"You have been in Hollywood for a short time, and you may not know that the music and dance films have long since disappeared, and no one has ever filmed this thing now."
"You actually made a music and dance film and went to the Oscars to win. I really don't know what you are good at."
While Matt Damon said this, Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little
"Leon also said that the box office may fail. Since that's the case, it's even more impossible to use big-name actors."
"If it's true, even if you say it's not helpful."
"I'm trying this time."
"Even if it's a pity, I don't feel sorry."
Matt Damon, Little Little, and Kate Winlester looked at each other and found that it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this.
Before "La La Land", Wang Shu had already collaborated with Paramount to a science fiction blockbuster "Interstellar". Now he tried the song and dance film, and it seems that there is no problem?
As Wang Shu said, even if he fails, he doesn't feel sorry for him. "So that's how it is." Little Lizi laughed.
Wang Shu saw that the three of them had been led by his nonsense, and then said, "Actually, I am still very confident in this drama. Maybe I can achieve a good result?"
"Shu, don't you look like you've drunk too much?" Kate Winlester teased when he heard this.
As soon as these words came out, Matt Damon and Little Little Little laughed.
Wang Shu couldn't help but smile. He was telling the truth, but no one believed it.
The story of "La La Land" is actually quite touching. Coupled with excellent choreography, songs, color, etc., success is not accidental.
After Matt Damon finished laughing, he asked curiously: "Shu, how much is your specific investment in this drama?"
Wang Shu saw that both Little Little Zi and Kate Winlester came over curiously, but did not hide it. He immediately said: "The production cost is 1,300W, plus the promotion and distribution cost is 2,700W, and it is estimated to be 4,000W."
In the original timeline, the investment cost of "La La Land" was only US$4,000,000, and the global box office was US$440 million.
Make a lot.
Now directed by Wang Shu, the pay for both Sister Stone and Ryan Gosling are much lower than a few years later, and other actors are also some newcomers.
So the film does not cost much to the actors’ pay, and the rest is above the crew’s expenses.
Because Wang Shu was not trying to shoot this movie from scratch, but relying on copying it, it saved a lot of unnecessary links, which saved a lot of expenses used on the crew.
In addition, it was five or six years earlier than the original time of "La La Land", and prices and so on are also different.
The investment cost is reduced to US$4,000.
Production costs are not high, and two-thirds of the budget is spent on promotion and promotion.
When Matt Damon, Little Plum and Kate Winlester heard this, they looked at each other again.
Little Lizi couldn't help but say, "No wonder you said you were trying."
Kate Winlester asked in confusion: "Is the cost of promotion and distribution a little high?"
Before Wang Shu answered, Li Zi snatched the blame: "It's not high."
"I have said before that the decline of the music and dance films may be difficult to achieve a good box office."
"In this case, it is necessary to increase the promotion and distribution to have a box office."
"And the Shu is famous, and with the bonus of two or two, the cost may be recovered."
"On the contrary, if the promotion is insufficient, it will be difficult to recover the cost."
"Besides, the total production cost is only 4,000,000. As an attempt, it is nothing even if the cost cannot be recovered."
Kate Winlester suddenly realized that a big director like Wang Shu, coupled with investments from a large company like Paramount, is really not much different from 20 million, 30 million, or 40 million.
Not bad for this money.
For Wang Shu, it is a low-cost video that is an attempt, so it is better to increase the promotion and distribution cost.
Even if you lose money, it's nothing.
It is undeniable that the investment cost of 40 million US dollars is already considered a normal production cost in North America.
Low-budget movies mostly refer to movies that cost millions or tens of millions of dollars.
But, Wang Shu is different.
He is not a young director, but a big director of Lianzhuang Oscar.
The investment cost of 40 million US dollars is a small-cost film for such a big director.
Kate Winlester suddenly realized when he heard this, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have a small vision."
"You just think that singing and dancing films are difficult to achieve a good box office, and you don't think it's necessary." Little Li Zi won the respect for Kate. Kate heard this and smiled sweetly at Little Lizi.
Wang Shu and Matt Damon were speechless. Not only did they say anything about each other, but Kate often looked like a little fan.
As the few people chatted, Anne Hathaway came over, first greeted each other, and then started chatting.
Wang Shu is a busy person. He sometimes socializes with these people, sometimes socializes with those people, sometimes socializes with others, and sometimes socializes with others. There are always people talking to him.
Alexandra Dadario saw Wang Shu return from the bathroom, walked over and blinked at Wang Shu, and asked, "Shu, can you go to your apartment tonight?"
This question was deliberately asked by her.
Alexandra Dadario knew that Emma Stone would probably go to Wangshu's apartment tonight, so she made fun of it.
When Wang Shu heard this, he smiled and asked back, "Do you want to come?"
"Of course." Alexandra Dadario answered with his lips.
She knew it was impossible, so she answered so decisively.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read! "Then come on." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
"Ah?" Alexandra Dadario was a little confused when he heard this.
Wang Shu smiled and said, "I'll wait for you tonight."
After saying that, he walked away from Alexandra Dadario.
Alexandra Dadario looked at Wang Shu's back and came back to his senses from his confusion.
After just a moment of stunned silence, a smile appeared on his pretty face again.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it was not bad to stay at Wangshu's apartment at night.
As time passed, the celebration banquet ended successfully.
Wang Shu returned to the apartment, and soon Alexandra Dadario came.
After she arrived at the apartment, her eyes looked around from time to time, as if she was looking for something.
Wang Shu saw through but didn't say it out loud.
Unfortunately, there was no one else in the apartment tonight, and even if Alexandra Dadario turned the corner, he couldn't find anyone.
At this moment, Alexandra Dadario was also a little confused.
The La Liga City held a final banquet, and after that, Emma Stone was not in Wang Shu’s apartment?
Is there nothing wrong with the two?
Impossible!
It's not like it either!
Alexandra Dadario had doubts, but he was hard to ask.
But soon, she temporarily put these doubts behind her.
Because...
…………
After the finale, Wang Shu entered the work of cutting films.
The La Liga is different from Interstellar. The former has the right to edit, while the latter does not have the right to do so.
Just as he was in full swing to edit "La La Land", Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and others also started the promotion of "Interstellar".
Interstellar has been scheduled to be released worldwide on October 28.
In North America, better film schedules are mainly concentrated in spring and summer, especially between April and July.
Spring schedules such as April and May usually have multiple blockbusters released, such as "The Planet of the Apes: The New World", "Mysterious Peep" and "The Agents".
The summer schedule ranges from June to July, which is the prime time of the North American film market. During this period, many high-budget blockbusters will usually be released, such as "Despicable", "The Jedi Men" and "Deadpool".
However, autumn and winter also have some important schedules, such as October and November, where a series of action, science fiction and thriller releases, such as "Silent Place: Invasion Day" and "The Joker".
As a science fiction film, "Interstellar" is scheduled to be released at the end of October.
And, the schedule is actually to cooperate with the Chinese market at this time.
Even if "Interstellar" is a movie directed by Wang Shu, it is also a foreign language film.
Entering the Chinese market, we are taking the introduction of films.
If it is released in mid-November or December, it will squeeze the Chinese New Year's schedule and many people will be unhappy.
But it will be released at the end of October, no one can say anything more.
The release of October 28 and the release of the films at the end of November has not squeezed into the most critical New Year's schedule starting in mid-December.
Promotional movies have always been dominated by actors.
As a director, Wang Shu also participates in the promotion of the movie, but he has relatively few appearances.
Of course, if he returns to domestic publicity, he will definitely come forward.
Because in the country, he has local advantages.
For example, now, Wang Shu has returned to China and is interviewed by Sina Entertainment.
Sina Entertainment: "Director Wang, how did you think of letting Matthew McConaughey play the role of Cooper in the movie "Interstellar"?"
Wang Shu: "I think Matthew can interpret the adventurous spirit of this character well. At the same time, he also has a cowboy style. Of course, there is no doubt that he also has superb acting skills and professional skills."
Wang Shu said this and then said: "It's very pleasant to work with Matthew! He is quite dedicated, and he is very punctual and well prepared every time he goes to the set, thinking carefully and meticulously. Moreover, he has a full sense of humor and a relaxed and calm style. ”
Sina Entertainment: “This is your first time working with Anne Hathaway, why would you want her to play the role of Brand?”
Wang Shu: “I chose her because she fully meets the needs of this role. She has the temperament of wisdom like a scientist, and is also passionate about science. I know she is very interested in interstellar space and natural sciences, and Brand is a character who is quite fascinated by the vast interstellar. Anne is definitely a versatile actor, and she is always addicted to the role she plays.”
Sina Entertainment: "The actors you worked with this time are all first-line stars, including Jessica Chastain and Cassie Affleck. What are your criteria for choosing these roles?"
Wang Shu: "My only judgment is to talk to them about the content of the story. I have always admired Jessica Chastain's movie works. The roles she played in the film are very challenging, but she already has super high acting skills, can meet the role requirements confidently and calmly, and performed very well! At the same time, I also appreciate Cassie Affleck's performance, but a small part of it is to cooperate with him this time. I hope he can cooperate with something I think is absolutely handy and interesting for him, but fortunately he agreed. "
Sina Entertainment: "I understand that you want to keep the plot a little mysterious, but can you still ask you to give me a sentence or two to summarize this story?"
Wang Shu: "The movie tells what the next development process of mankind will be. The concept is like the end of the time for human life on the earth. We must go to the vast universe to find the next residence, and how should we act..." (End of this chapter)
