Chapter 1788 Co-Production Film Premiere

The matter of STX has been blown away. There is no room for negotiation. We must firmly resist this kind of guy who makes money and insults his IQ!

After seeing off the guests, Lin Ximan also took the initiative to say goodbye, but because of drinking, Yang Cheng specially arranged for the manor's driver to take her home.

Luo Yue naturally wanted to stay overnight, after all, it was her own home.

The young couple sat by the swimming pool, leaning against each other and looking at the beautiful scenery of the City of Angels. No one spoke, and they had a feeling of peace and tranquility.

Watching the sunset with the wind blowing until the twilight reward, the city of angels lit up thousands of lights, Yang Cheng was stirred by a cool breeze in the mountains, and suggested going back to the house. After all, it was December, and it was still a little cold at night.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw White coming in with a stack of invitations. Yang Cheng stopped him and asked, "Are there any activities worth attending tonight?"

As a city of entertainment, entertainment and nightlife naturally start at night, which does not conflict with the tranquility of the afternoon.

White immediately said, "Movie premiere? The premiere of "Passengers" jointly invested by Columbia and New Era Pictures will be held at the Dolby Theater tonight. It will officially start in an hour. It's not too late to get there now~"

The Dolby Theater, formerly the Kodak Theater, is very famous and has hosted the premieres of countless Hollywood blockbusters here.

Yang Cheng turned to look at Luo Yue, "Would you like to go over and join in the fun?"

Luo Yue thought for a while, "I'll listen to you~"

Yang Cheng hummed and told White, "Prepare your dress and car. Let's go over and watch a movie~"

Then he told Luo Yue, "Just dress up as you like. It doesn't have to be too complicated. We won't walk on the red carpet. We will enter directly from the side door."

"Got it~"

. . .

Before arriving at the theater, Yang Cheng learned the details of the film. It was originally a Columbia-exclusive project, but because of discussions with New Era Pictures about the merger, both parties, in order to show their sincerity, each came up with a large-scale production to share, and both parties jointly invested in it. Sharing profits, "Space Passengers" came into being in this context.

On the red carpet, as one of the leading actors who dominate the box office, the most popular female star in Hollywood recently, Jennifer Lawrence, looked stunning throughout the whole process. She was full of goddess style. She appeared in a long aqua blue casual dress, and the star-studded top showed off her fashion skills. It also echoes the theme of space travel in the film;

This is just the look on the red carpet,

After the official entrance, Lawrence changed into a white casual suit, which coincided with Luo Yue's look tonight, because Luo Yue was also wearing a white casual suit, and her suit was more conservative and looked more capable. , while Lawrence's suit is more sexy. From the large open neckline, you can have an unobstructed view of the Great Rift Valley of East Africa.

The male lead, Chris Pratt, was by his side in a graceful manner. Not only did the two of them hug their waists and smile sweetly as they faced the camera, but they also whispered tacitly from time to time to perform a "little theater". They also had close contact with fans and media throughout the whole process. The "love" is worth full marks.

Of course, this is all a show, and you can't just fight on the red carpet, so who will believe the roles they play in the movie?

This movie is a typical Hollywood commercial blockbuster, a standardized product of the industrial assembly line. Its structure, plot, and character arrangements almost follow the template mentioned above. The movie tells the story of two space travelers played by Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. While traveling in deep space, they accidentally woke up 90 years early, and then the two gradually fell in love, and even showed their loyal companionship in the face of crisis. The epic romantic love was thrilling.

A bit like the space board Titanic~

After entering the venue, as expected, she bumped into Donna Round, who had just left in the afternoon. She was even more surprised. She didn't expect that Yang Cheng would come to the premiere~

After being stunned for a while, he introduced Yang Cheng to Sanford, the president of Columbia Pictures. This man's temperament was a bit like a Silicon Valley coder. All he had to do was change his suit into a plaid shirt.

Watching the stars on stage being interviewed by the host, Donna asked Yang Cheng, "Boss, why are you in the mood to attend the premiere?"

Yang Cheng shrugged and put his arm around Luo Yue's shoulders. "I'm just doing nothing at home. I heard that we have investment in this project, so how about stopping by to watch a movie? What are your expectations for this movie?"

Donna pointed to the huge posters hanging on both sides of the stage and reported, "From "Star Wars" to "Avatar," science fiction movies mean burning money, and how much money is burned determines the final visual effect.

The investment cost of "Passengers" was US$110 million, a large part of which was used for the production of space scenes, special effects such as spaceships, and gorgeous interiors.

Compared with previous space movies, it is different. In addition to fantastic and original breakthroughs in the fields of space suits and robots, many cool new skills have been developed in terms of shooting techniques and set design.

For example, the crew used photogrammetry to create a digital version of the male protagonist, using 93 cameras to shoot the face every 22.5 degrees to generate a realistic computer 3D image.

Judging from the screen, "Passengers" combines the luxury cruise ship of "Titanic", the magnificent universe of "Interstellar" and the thrilling rescue of "Gravity" to a certain extent.

In addition, in terms of visual enjoyment, the interior decoration of the spacecraft in "Passengers" is high-tech yet classically luxurious. It can be said that it can satisfy the audience's pursuit of high-quality life on the screen, with exquisite restaurants, luxurious bars, A space swimming pool where you can look up at the stars.

As soon as the film starts, you will see that the bartender played by Michael Sheen is actually a humanoid robot named Arthur. It should be a big surprise in this film. The dynamic control system tailor-made by the crew allows the actor to It's like a simulated robot controlled by a computer. After watching the preview, I became very interested in this technology, and I believe ordinary viewers are the same.

This restaurant waiter robot is proficient in multiple languages ​​and is polite. It takes one and a half months to make just one robot. It can be said that every detail is carefully crafted.

With such basic visual effects guaranteed, I believe it will be a good popcorn movie, and the cost recovery will not be a big problem. Counting the peripherals, it should make a small profit. "

Yang Cheng was surprised, "You boast so much, but you only expect to recover the cost?"

Donna was also helpless, "To be honest, this type of commercial film is not uncommon in Hollywood. It should be said that it is everywhere. Regardless of the large investment, if there is not enough story support, it is more difficult to achieve a box office hit.

However, the two leading actors who carry the box office have a good appeal to the main consuming audience, so I dare to say that the capital is guaranteed and a small profit is made. "

Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "So you don't like the script of this project?"

After hearing this, Donna hesitated for a while and finally nodded, lowering her voice and said, "The script does not have enough tension and dramatic conflict. We can only use powerful visual effects to cover up the shortcomings of the script. As you know, the boss is a hit." For a film, its script must not be weak, this is the basis of everything."
