Chapter 27 There Is a Kind of Comedy Called Bean
Chapter 27 There is a kind of comedy called Bean
Rowan Atkinson was still acting in a play in London. He never thought that he, who was unknown, would receive an olive branch from Hollywood.
What? Not the main character.
What are you thinking? I am not the protagonist in a drama.
Well, the salary is indeed not high, but this is also relative. The price of two hundred thousand dollars is not low at all.
What's more, they will give out 5% of the North American box office dividends. Although it is for the entire crew, it is very sincere. You can't earn so much from acting in a drama for a year.
In this era, Eddie Murphy and Rowan Atkinson are well-deserved comedy kings. They have their own comedy attributes, even if they have a straight face, they are very funny.
Needless to say any nonsense, I will fly directly to Los Angeles the next day. In case I go late, this role will be gone.
Gathering a group of off-the-charts, William White began to fulfill the roles of director and producer.
After seeing such a detailed script, a group of Pujie were filled with emotion. Except for Eddie Murphy and Rowan Atkinson, the other actors were Hollywood Pujie, some were acting in stage plays, and some were serving as waiters.
Hollywood is not so easy to mess with. You need to eat without notice. Fortunately, it is easy to do odd jobs in the United States. As long as you are willing to endure hardship, it is not difficult to feed your stomach.
Since when have they seen the script, it would be good to have two lines of lines. They are not qualified to read the script at all. They can only follow what the assistant director says. If they dare to play at will, they will be driven away immediately.
Movie film is very expensive, who would waste time for the tricks, on the surface it is filmed, and the post-editing may be gone, anyway, you are a passerby, who cares about your feelings.
White Films is different. Not only does everyone have a script outline, but everyone has a shot script. Regardless of the chaotic crowd, almost everyone has a chance to perform.
It is now the end of May, and in order to catch up with the summer vacation, William White accelerated the shooting progress.
Paramount's studios are still expensive, and William White has no choice but to go to Canada for filming, but it is impossible to complete all the shooting there, and the cost may be even higher.
Some people say that you and the author are talking nonsense, how can you prepare the crew in a few days, and it doesn't take time to buy equipment?
There is really no need for this, there are so many prop companies in Hollywood, as long as you can come up with a good knife, there is absolutely no problem with the most advanced equipment.
There is no problem with clothing and firearms. They even provide large weapons and police cars. These things are just a phone call away, which is definitely a caring service.
The same goes for camera lighting, they can definitely do it within a day, there are all kinds of photographers, the price is determined according to their level, although sometimes they will fool people, but generally it is not bad.
They rely on service for a living. Regardless of the fact that White Films is a new company, they really dare not make a fuss. Their lawyer team is not a decoration, so don't interfere with their filming.
For such a crew composed of temporary workers, Paramount is very contemptuous. These bumpkins really think that the film industry is so easy to mess with.
William White pursues a low profile, and now is not the time for him to exert his strength. The whole Hollywood is sleeping now, especially in 1979.
This year's box office champion is the Oscar masterpiece starring Mr. and Mrs. Kramer and Aunt May.
How much is the box office?
It's almost 50 million US dollars, and this is the bonus after being nominated for an Oscar. The champions are at this level, and the others are vulnerable.
The police academy in history, without deliberate publicity, easily broke through 80 million dollars.
When this movie was painted, there were only a pitiful 300-odd screens, so I don't need to repeat how miserable it was.
A group of fluttering and college students almost disabled William White. Except for Eddie Murphy and Rowan Atkinson, most of the others were sleepwalking, which made William White unwilling to turn on the machine.
"Jason, don't look at the camera, I've told you a thousand times. Only fools look at the camera."
"Luna, you are not Miss Jiao now, you have to be domineering, don't you know what domineering is? God, look at me."
Although the situation is constant, the progress of the filming has not slowed down. The advantage of Pujiezi is that he is obedient and doesn't care about overtime. The other crew members are paid according to the time, and their overtime wages are doubled.
After the first week, everyone began to enter the state, and the traces of the performance were almost invisible.
The set is naturally very convenient. Now that you are in good shape, it doesn’t matter if you retake a few shots.
I have to say that Mr. Bean is very brilliant, and it is easy to be crushed into scum when playing against him. Eddie Murphy is talented. If he works half as hard as Bean, his achievements will definitely be even higher.
I believe Mr. Bean will become famous after this movie is painted. People want to laugh when this guy is stern, and almost everyone laughs at the actors in the opposite film. If there is no such thing as editing, William White will definitely vomit blood.
This movie has the meaning of satirizing the minority policy of the US imperialism. You can understand when you look at the actors, Africans, Chinese, Latinos, this is a United Nations.
In the profession of police, there are really very few ethnic minorities who can participate. The movie shows it in a way of laughing and cursing, which will not make people feel uncomfortable.
In the end, of course, it’s the main theme. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. It’s true that film review is lax. This doesn’t mean you can mess around with it. Issues involving religion and race are best not to drift.
Mel Gibson is a big brother in Hollywood. He felt that he was unambiguous, so he started to dabble in religious themes. The Passion of Jesus is not fabricated. It is clearly written in the Bible.
However, the Jewish consortium quit and blocked Mel Gibson directly. If this guy hadn't softened later, he could almost be removed from Hollywood.
The treatment he enjoys is almost as good as that of Michael Jackson. His whole personality has completely collapsed, and he was almost bankrupted by others.
Hollywood is a publicity channel for some people. Although making money is also very important, publicity is undoubtedly more important.
It's hard for others to say how to see it. The crew members are very optimistic about this movie. This movie is so funny that it will definitely be very lively when it is released.
Will there be no way to show it?
Eddie Murphy asked this weird question, this guy wants to be famous and crazy. He didn't want his efforts to be in vain.
William White told him that he hadn't considered this issue. If it was impossible, he could rent theaters. If not, he would consider buying one or two theaters. Are theaters with hundreds of screens expensive?
Eddie Murphy is speechless about this kind of domineering side leakage. Look at how light you said. Are the theaters expensive?
This thing is really expensive, not to mention buying it, renting it is an astronomical figure, but it also depends on who it is for, it is very expensive for Eddie Murphy, but not necessarily for William White.
The theater operators in the United States have been miserable this year. Seeing that half a year has passed, not to mention the box office of 100 million US dollars, there are almost no ones reaching 50 million dollars. Several giants in Hollywood have rushed to the street, and the theater operators rely on them for food. Under this market background, theaters are really very cheap, and it is really not difficult to acquire two.
