Chapter 555 Complex Problem
In an abandoned hangar in Nevada, the crew of "Iron Man" filmed here.
The interior of the hangar has been converted into a cave. The scene where Tony Stark built the Mark 1 was filmed here.
Three cameras were set up in different corners, focusing on the decadent man with a strange light on his chest.
I saw him holding a hammer and repeatedly beating the metal block in his hand. Let alone terrorists at this time, even if God and Satan come together, they can't stop him from building the Mark 1.
The experiences of Robert Downey Jr. and Tony Stark have many similarities to some extent.
As a man who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in the 1990s, Robert Downey Jr. is very comfortable playing this role.
“Looking good,” said Jennifer Connelly, who took a break from promoting “Batman Begins” and occasionally attended commercial events.
While I have free time, I came to Nevada to visit and watch the movie produced by Cameron Diaz for the first time after leaving Little Gilbert as a producer.
Cameron Diaz said: "He should understand that the opportunity is rare and the scene in the cave is very tiring, but he did not complain about being tired."
Jennifer Connelly thinks this is normal: "Yeah, it's a rare opportunity. This is a big-budget male lead with an investment of 130 million US dollars, which doesn't happen every day!"
The morning scene is over, and at noon Jennifer ·Connery took advantage of the crew’s meals. Neither woman ate much, just a vegetable salad and some fruit.
In order to maintain my figure, I almost never eat meat, and at most I eat some fish.
The two were chatting while eating, and Jennifer Connelly said: ""Batman Begins" has received $294.42 million in North America, and it has reached the end.
The global box office also reached US$610.25 million, which is considered to be the performance expected by Warner Pictures."
"But it did not meet the expectations of the media," Cameron Diaz continued: " I guess the "Washington Post" should say that the bastard is on the decline again. It's really ridiculous. "
Little Gilbert, collectively referred to as the bastard, is the nickname that women privately call Little Gilbert.
A part of the media is indeed just as Cameron Diaz said, once again promoting the argument that Gilbert Jr. is in decline.
But anyone with a clear mind knows that "Batman Begins" cannot be called a failure in any way, and it is even a great success.
Why do you say that? It's because before Little Gilbert, this series was a backwater. It was little Gilbert who saved the Batman IP. Otherwise, I don’t know how many years it will take for Batman to enter the audience’s field of vision again.
The box office of US$294.42 million is temporarily ranked second in North America's annual box office. The first place is "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" which earned 383 million. There is currently no film that can threaten his position.
The Chronicles of Narnia, King Kong and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will also be released during the year.
"The Chronicles of Narnia" stars Anne Hathaway, "King Kong" stars Naomi Watts, and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is produced by Melon Studios , are all films worth looking forward to.
Far away in China, a joint delegation from Disney and Warner negotiated with Shang Hai locally and signed a contract. Starting next year, Disney-Warner Park will be officially constructed in Shanghai and is scheduled to open in 2010.
This is the first Disney-Warner park in the world, and it was little Gilbert who promoted this project and plan.
Disney and Warner Pictures have a very close cooperative relationship with each other because of Little Gilbert, and now they have reached an agreement on the park project.
Disneyland is undoubtedly a famous sign and is famous all over the world. Disney’s large number of copyrights and well-known animated characters are also the reasons why Disney parks are unfavorable around the world.
In comparison, Warner is inferior, but it is not nothing.
At the very least, if Disney wants to build a Harry Potter magical town, it can’t do it without Warner’s consent. Moreover, Warner Pictures also owns the copyrights of many well-known characters and IPs, which are also valuable. So after a long period of pulling and negotiating, the two parties finally reached an agreement to jointly build a Disney-Warner park to see the effect.
The address of this first paradise is located in Shanghai.
The executives of Disney and Warner were initially doubtful whether Disney-Warner Park could make a profit in Shanghai. After all, the consumption of the park is not cheap, and the surrounding areas are also very expensive.
How can these stingy Chinese people spend so much spare money?
But Gilbert Jr. dispelled the concerns of the executives. The economy is developing, and Shanghai is not much worse than world-famous cities such as New York and Paris.
Moreover, China's economic strength is rising at an exaggerated rate. I dare not say it elsewhere, but there are definitely many people in Shanghai who have the ability to consume.
Besides, the purpose of the park project has never been to make profits through the park.
Disneyland in Paris has been losing money for years, but Disney has not closed the park. Instead, it continues to increase investment, which is confusing.
In the final analysis, it is because of the effect of the brand and the promotion of peripheral products.
This may be a bit difficult to use in China. The brand effect will be there, but there is always no hope for peripherals where piracy is rampant.
The main content of this discussion is about the issue of piracy. But it is a pity that this thing is very difficult to manage, and the Chinese personnel also have some thoughts, so the results are not high.
Sometimes, the defensiveness over there is quite serious.
For example, Hollywood has been committed to establishing a film rating system there, rather than relying solely on the will of big scissors, and it is unclear what the standards are.
With the expansion of the market there, the voice of restructuring has become more and more intense, but the other side remains unmoved.
During the phone call with Little Gilbert, Minister Tian revealed that some people believe that once the classification system is implemented, some unhealthy works will be imported and affect Chinese audiences.
This is true, but from a Hollywood perspective, I naturally hope that there will be no censorship and Hollywood movies will be allowed to circulate freely.
It can only be said that the butt determines the head. Sometimes little Gilbert is also annoyed by the review of the scissors.
He is also worried about whether "The Last of Us" can be released there. After all, this is an apocalyptic movie, with moral and legal breakdown.
According to Lao Tian, since it is the end of the world, doesn’t it mean that we are gone too? This is absolutely unacceptable.
Based on such nonsensical reasons, "The Last of Us" is very likely to miss the market there. If this is the case, it may be the first time that Gilbert Jr.'s film has been absent from the market there.
Although the box office contribution there is limited, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.
And the audience needs to be cultivated. Without more movies released, more audiences will not recognize him.
However, there are some things that cannot be controlled or changed by humans. The movie has been filmed, so little Gilbert can't change the plot on the spot!
Not to mention, if it were shot the way it was shot over there, it wouldn’t be a father-daughter relationship. It is a very sci-fi vision of all mankind uniting to face the virus together.
Ellie and Joel bid farewell painfully, and accepted the experiment for the sake of the overall situation. Joel would not save Joel for the sake of the overall situation, and lost Ellie just like he lost Sarah.
The world is big and the movie is small. Little Gilbert just wants to tell a simple story and does not want to consider too complicated issues.
