Chapter 59: Ask him for his opinion (make up for yesterday)
There is a consensus: whenever Chinese actors participate in a Hollywood movie, everyone subconsciously thinks it is a bad movie!
How should I put it? Hollywood movies starring Chinese actors give people a sense of violation and special supply.
Then I have to ask, why are Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie not so abrupt?
It's very simple. When creating scripts and designing task characters for many projects, they are not set according to Chinese temperament. You are equivalent to seeing a Chinese with Hollywood behavior and language patterns, which is very inconsistent.
A typical example is the Da Tiantian movie universe, her rivalry with a foreigner is very entertaining...
Jackie Chan and Li Lianjie are different. Their scenes are basically tailor-made.
If the language style and behavioral habits are set according to their Asian identity, the audience will certainly not look so out of the ordinary!
Also, usually this type of character has no role and is just a tool.
Only a dramatic character can attract the attention of the audience and be liked or disliked by the audience.
Since there is no drama, the director won't be so concerned when selecting actors. As long as they look real and are real people, foreigners can't understand Chinese. Cantonese Mandarin or BJ Mandarin sound the same to foreigners, so I don't care about the accent.
But if it is a dramatic role, I will choose the person carefully.
Yang Xiaomi in "Independence Day 2" still has a role, playing the role of a female pilot at the moon base. In the film, she is a goddess-like figure who encounters the pursuit of young pilots from other countries.
There are a lot of scenes, but they are basically outside the main plot...
Maybe the domestic distribution company felt that her scenes were a bit too much and too blunt, so the domestic version cut a little bit - the foreign version didn't cut much...
Many people exclaimed: The domestic version actually has fewer scenes than the foreign version?
In fact, the mainland version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in which Chow Yun-fat participated was much less than the North American version.
The estimated box office for "Independence Day: Resurgence" is 2 billion!
Then in its first week of release, "The Vengeance 2" overtook North America by more than 10 million US dollars. Of course, "The Vengeance 2" failed to win the single-week box office championship - "Finding Nemo 2" took in 117 million US dollars the next week, continuing the trend. Dominance position.
But in China, the ticket sales of "The Vengeance 2" in the first three days of the weekend were 660 million yuan, and the ticket sales of "Independence Day 2" were 259 million yuan...
The plot of "Independence Day 2" is too old. There are too many alien movies these days.
Moreover, the villain's logic is too weak and he doesn't even have a goal.
Or is Thanos' novel setting - destroying half of all living things in the universe!
20 years ago, Independence Day was the pioneer of science fiction disaster films. It was amazing to watch at that time. 20 years later, this type of film appears every year, which is no longer surprising.
Maoyan has lowered its box office forecast for "Independence Day 2," predicting a maximum box office of only RMB 500 million...
Yang Xiaomi... doesn’t really care, she just took a job!
Besides, a lot of female stars who are busy trying to enter Hollywood have failed. One more of her is not more, and one less of her is not a lot!
…
It was deleted not long after it was posted. It was not until Ziguang Pavilion came forward that the article was finally restored.
This is quite interesting.
It probably also attracted the attention of the entertainment industry...
Ma Yun later said, "I'm not familiar with her"...
Familiar or not, who knows?
…
Xiangshan, on the set of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", Liu Qianqian was resting. Suddenly her agent, her mother, came over and said with emotion: "Thankfully you didn't take on "The Night Peacock"!"
Liu Qianqian quickly asked: "...What's wrong?"
"It was released yesterday and received poor reviews and box office."
After a pause, Mama Liu continued: "The actor who succeeded you was scolded so miserably!"
"…You mean Yang Tianbao?"
"right."
Liu Qianqian nodded, indicating that she understood...
In fact, public opinion about Yang Tianbao has never been good, and it has nothing to do with the movies she stars in...
"The Night Peacock" is a bad drama. A bad drama paired with a bad actor complements each other!
"It seems that in the future, we really can't just rely on the director when accepting roles!"
"...I told you a long time ago."
"I was wrong..."
Mummy Liu took the tea brought by her assistant, took a sip, and then said: "I found out that the company has obtained the rights to adapt the movie version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and plans to invite Xu Ke to be the director!"
Xu Ke, the divine eagle...
Two keywords made Liu Qianqian a little excited: "...Where did you find out about this?"
"I have my source of information, so don't worry about it..." Speaking of this, Mummy Liu changed her tone: "Ask him if he has a chance to audition!"
Liu Qianqian asked knowingly: "Who?"
"…Who else could it be?"
"Shen Changlin?"
Liu Qianqian looked at the time: "Not now, he should be being interviewed."
"How do you know?"
"He is promoting a new movie. During the promotion period, time is very precious..." After thinking about it, Sissi looked at her mother and said, "Let's wait until the evening!"
"good…"
Noticing her mother's expression, Liu Qianqian said directly: "Don't contact him..."
"No, what should I tell him? I don't have his contact information either!"
…
Shen Changlin is indeed promoting "Avenger 2"...
Let's pursue the victory - the box office of 650 million in the first weekend, the reputation is not bad, of course we need to increase the publicity!
This time I was a guest on "Human Movie Cannon" and talked about "The Vengeful Man 2" with several well-known film critics in the industry.
"The first film I made was an action film, "The Knife"... I have always wanted to work with a powerful action actor. "The Vengeance" is a dream come true. I asked Jackie Chan and I to invite Mr. Yuen Biao or Sammo Hung to appear.
Just think of it as an easter egg for the audience..."
"He asked me if I had any idea about the three of us working together. Of course I did, so "Avenger 2" was born..."
"There is no more "The Vengeful Man 3". The top lineup has been created. We can't imitate Ma Yun and make a whole "Gong Shou Dao"!"
"After "The Wronger 2", I should also make a foreign language film in the detective genre. The first part of "Detective Huang Lanke" is called "Knives Out"..."
"The actors are still being selected, and the male lead must be a Chinese actor. Otherwise, there would be no point in filming this!"
"Continuing the cooperation model of "The Vengeful Man", we are responsible for the production, and Warner is in charge of distribution..."
"There is no way, we don't have the power of global distribution, and it is quite difficult to prepare now."
------Digression-----
I went out on a date, I might not be able to do it today...
It's just possible, maybe it's just a meal.
Chapter completed!
