Three films, "Ex Machina", "Escape Room" and "Breathless", have been produced and are ready for release.

The cycle for B-level movies is really short, from production to release, it only takes 4 months at most.

"A Quiet Place", "Happy Death Day 2", "Split" have been approved...

"Split," directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

This man is a genius. After screwing up six movies in a row, he returned to the low-budget horror genre with a cost of only $9 million...

M. Night Shyamalan is very good. After filming the family comedy "Little Devils" in 1998, he shocked the film industry with "The Sixth Sense" - with a cost of US$40 million, the US box office was US$293 million, and the global box office was as high as

670 million!

It is worth mentioning that the producer of this movie is Telescope Entertainment, which does not belong to a traditional Hollywood studio, and is not even a medium-sized studio.

Of course the publisher is Disney.

Telescope Entertainment later merged with the bankrupt MGM to form the new MGM Films...

After "The Sixth Sense", M. Night Shyamalan completed six consecutive hits for major Hollywood studios - "Back to Earth", produced by Sony Columbia, "The Last Airbender" produced by Paramount, "The Last Airbender"

"The Catastrophe" is produced by 20th Century Fox, "The Banshee" is produced by Warner Bros., and the investor of "Mystic Village" is Disney Touchstone. In addition, he is also the screenwriter and executive producer of "The Devil in the Elevator" produced by Universal Pictures.

These six works failed to varying degrees!

Generally speaking, screwing up one movie is quite excusable, but screwing up two movies in a row means that you basically have no chance in Hollywood.

This person, six departments, six companies!

Therefore, it was Changlin Company's turn to take over the "Split" project...

Shen Changlin remembers that the box office of "Split" exploded, with 140 million in North America and close to 280 million globally!

After that, he made "Mr. Glass", which once again earned US$260 million worldwide...

It's like being reborn...

In addition, there are a few that Shen Changlin is not famous for, such as "Hell House", "Memory of Lost Souls", "Nightmare Cinema", "Horror Night", etc., which are typical routine plasma films...

The so-called routine plasma movies are mostly movies about various massacres, with broken limbs and broken legs flying everywhere, and blood spurting out as if for free.

The selling point is plasma, so the production completion is generally very low, the story is cliché, the plot collapses, the characters' motivations and logic are unclear, etc.

Of course, the writers of Changlin Film and Television are very good at poking out the disgusting aspects of the characters, such as virgins, prisoners or playboys who mess around with their significant other...

In addition, another major reason why the audience for plasma tablets is very stable is the welfare factor.

Because the cost is low, the production process is fast, and only unknown actors are hired. These actors may only have this one work in their lives.

Just to make quick money.

What does this mean?

It means they are willing to do anything.

There is no plot in the plasma movie. If the focus of the entire movie is only on the few minutes when the protagonist group is hunted, then the movie will have too little to watch.

In this case, the audience's expectations need to be aroused.

And this expectation is naturally a welfare lens.

Many B-level movies specifically source actors from the Fernando Valley, and this is the reason!

This type of movie cannot make a lot of money, but it is easy to make back the money. If you control the costs well, you can make back the money by selling it to Netflix. The box office of the theater release is a net profit...

Yang Fan is low on energy, probably because he has chosen too many roles...

According to him: "Many times, I don't need to speak, just a look, and the audition actor will take the initiative to unbutton his chest!"

Shen Changlin deliberately disgusted him: "...men too?"

"I...I don't choose male actors. Male actors are basically female and recommended by the casting director..."

Lao Guo was speechless: "Damn, the division of labor is clear!"

"It's really like this...There are a lot of young men and women in Hollywood who want to be in the spotlight, and they have all kinds of skin colors!" When talking about this, Yang Fan had a weird expression: "I feel like they know the rules of B-level film casting very well!"

"...What did you think of?"

"I'm thinking that a lot of Hollywood movie queens might have come here like this..."

Shen Changlin casually complained: "Isn't your Cameron Diaz? His first movie was "The Shapeshifter", which sold US$350 million worldwide!"

Cameron Diaz's rise to fame has been so smooth. After "The Shapeshifter", she encountered "Crazy About Mary"...

However, Yang Fan's other... mistress Sandra Bullock was not so lucky. She debuted in 1987 and only became slightly famous in 1994 with "Speed"...

"In comparison, at least it won't be that bad in our country!"

"...It still depends on the self-cultivation of the person who has the power to make the decision!"

"No, there is even a special word in English called casting couch. Translated into Chinese it means contact casting, also called bed casting!"

Yang Fan continued: "Hollywood doesn't care about these unspoken rules, but the rules of the game. When the filming was about to start, the production team suddenly changed their decision and replaced the female lead with the goddaughter of the leader. This is called unspoken rules!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Whoever pays has the right to decide!"

Lao Guo sighed: "Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes..."

“…”

Several people were silent.

Indeed, unless you are an extremely talented top actor or a popular idol, someone will help you create a project...

Acting is a profession, a profession in an industry within the social system structure, which requires contact and dealing with people from all aspects of society.

You have good acting skills, but if you want to be the first or second female lead, someone recommends you. Otherwise, why would I think of using you if there are so many actors?

During the project establishment stage of a movie or TV series, the director, assistant director, producer, investors, and sponsors gather for a dinner, and the role may be assigned directly...

What can you do?

Only by joining them…

…

After a quick drink, Lao Guo led Yang Fan and a few staff members to go and have fun...

Shen Changlin did not follow.

How can he be in a cheerful mood...

It’s not that I’m anxious about the Spring Festival release – “Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom” is definitely a winner!

Whether it is the strength of IP, the choice of theaters, or the strength of ticket reimbursement, including the quality of the movie, "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" is unique.

Breaking one billion is a sure thing!

But...he is also very tired.

The continuous shooting during this period was very nerve-wracking, plus the positive energy was taken away from me in the middle...

He just wants to go home and sleep now!

When I got home, it was almost 11 o'clock...

After changing my shoes, I went directly into the living room, and then... Yang Xiaomi was actually sitting on the sofa in the living room?

Eh?

Did I go wrong?

He rubbed his eyes...and then saw Yang Xiaomi staring at him with a half-smile...

"You're back!"

Shi Shi walked out of the kitchen, holding a cup in his hand.

Shen Changlin walked up to her and took the cup: "What are you doing? Also, why is Sister Mi here?"

"I'm going to make a cup of coffee...but the water dispenser doesn't work...Sister Mi is going home with me. She's taking off from Xiangshan tomorrow, and I'm flying to Shanghai. We're on the way!"

"...Shanghai, Xiangshan...how did you get there?"

Shen Changlin skillfully used the water purifier to make coffee while complaining...

Shi Shi explained: "Xiangshan is very close to Shanghai...and Sister Mi is going to hold an event in Shanghai."

"... Whatever, I'll go upstairs and take a shower and then go to sleep. I'm too sleepy..."

Shen Changlin walked back to the living room, said hello to Yang Xiaomi, and went directly upstairs.

Yang Xiaomi looked at his back, turned to Shi Shi and asked: "He doesn't welcome me?"

"No...he was too sleepy. He kept sleeping since he came back yesterday..."

"Sleeping all the time?" Yang Xiaomi was a little surprised: "Doesn't it mean that it is better for you two to have a little separation than to get married?"

Shi Shi was confused: "Is a separation better than a wedding?"

"Just...applause for love!"

"...No..." Shi Shi looked at her and then said: "I did it a few times this morning..."

"That's pretty much it. I'm telling you, you must be cautious. Little girls nowadays are too sophisticated. Shen Changlin is also a famous producer and director. There are many women who want to climb into his bed."

Shi Shi took a sip of coffee, glanced at Yang Xiaomi, and then said: "No..."

"Why not? Do you know what Liu Qianqian calls him in private?"

"...It's impossible for him to like Liu Qianqian!"

"How can you be so sure?"

"...I know his character...he won't like a stupid woman..." Speaking of Liu Qianqian, Shi Shi suddenly remembered: "The Legend of White Ghost has been withdrawn again?"
Chapter completed!
