The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!
On the evening of June 11th, Song Ya arrived at the premiere theater of Jurassic Park in Chicago, and chatted with Catherine, Old Larry and others.
"Sorry, Catherine, I had the interview canceled."
Song Ya apologized to the other party. Now as long as she shows up in public, the reporters will definitely ask questions related to Mira, which is very annoying.
"It doesn't matter." Catherine said with a smile: "But you have to be careful with public relations, and don't be fired by the media for your money dealings with Mira's family."
"No, if there is any money exchange, her father even scolded me for black Grandet." Song Ya replied.
"What about gifts? Have you ever received any expensive gifts from her?" Catherine asked, "Or did you return them after we broke up?"
"Well……"
That's not true, he touched the golden labor on his wrist and recalled briefly, Mira gave a Vacheron Constantin watch when they were dating, and he thought it was too plain, so he usually didn't wear it, and there were some other small gifts. It's not more than one hundred thousand dollars, "Is it okay? The gift I gave her is much higher than the total value she gave me."
"Really? When you dated, you didn't earn as much as her, right?" Catherine glanced over meaningfully.
What do you mean? Hinting that I don't spare money to pick up girls? "At that time, my finances were relatively independent, and her money was basically controlled by her greedy parents." Song Ya replied.
"Well, in short, be careful of the media's scribbles. Her father has deceived many influential people in the media." Catherine reminded.
"I know, thank you."
Song Ya knew that the other party was out of good intentions, and he didn't want to wait for the movie to be released to make related hype. This was also his main original intention for choosing Amblin Entertainment to cooperate. Compared with other people, Spielberg and Catherine's character is still in Hollywood recognized as guaranteed.
Of course, their "kindness" is limited to the industry, and they can also play the routine of trapping external investors, and they can play it proficiently. In this regard, Yeremov is better than himself. Without his many years of connections in Hollywood and Jewish Song Ya's identity as a descendant is absolutely smeared by Song Ya himself, and he will not be accepted so quickly.
The premiere in Chicago was very simple. After appearing in front of the fans and fans present, before the movie screening, Song Ya followed Catherine and a few supporting actors to the stage, and praised Spielberg and Jurassic Park. mission accomplished.
In fact, Jurassic Park was screened on a small scale last week, and the response was very good. The surround sound of DTS is not inferior to the similar technology of Dolby Laboratories. Compared with Batman Returns, Jurassic Park is more suitable for sound effects. On a rainy night, the roar of a huge Tyrannosaurus rex suddenly sounded from the side of the audience. At that time, some people trembled in fright, and then subconsciously looked around in horror.
If DTS has been listed, Song Ya believes that the stock price should rise sharply now.
Hey, why did you think of stocks again...
Apple's stock price has been falling for the past few days. Harley called on time to complain, and Song Ya almost ran out of words to make up.
He turned his attention back to movies. Spielberg's storytelling method is much more mainstream than Tim Burton's. It has actually become part of mainstream commercial films. He combined elements such as science fiction, horror, action, and plot to make a delicious movie feast, and he was not obsessed with visual effects. He was very patient in portraying characters and stories, and could naturally immerse the audience's emotions into the plot. inside.
Industrial Light & Magic's computer special effects are also extremely powerful. All the big and small dinosaurs on the screen are lifelike, especially when the several-storey-high brachiosaurus made its debut by the lake, the shock it brought to the audience is beyond words. Predators such as dragons and Tyrannosaurus rex each have their own habits, and the images of ferocity and terror are directly captured in the hearts of the people. Audiences in this era believe in supernatural events and conspiracy theories. After watching it, many people really believe that dinosaurs have been resurrected somewhere on the earth.
Since the movie is adapted from science fiction, the set of mysterious terms such as DNA recombination, cloning technology, and chaos theory discussed among the actors in it deepened the credibility of the whole thing.
This is all a good thing to increase the discussion of the film. The box office sales can be expected. Song Ya judges that it will at least sell better than Tim Burton's Batman Returns. Then the global box office will be at least over 400 million, and the production cost of the whole movie is only over 60 million...
"It's really making money..."
He secretly thought in his heart, so he became more motivated to devote himself to dancing out of my life.
The next day, Catherine stayed in Chicago as a guest at A+ Records. After a brief visit, she met with the crew and creative staff who came from Los Angeles for the first preparatory meeting.
Song Ya, as the boss and main producer of the producer, naturally has the highest power, but the specific work was assigned to a producer appointed by Amblin Entertainment, a producer appointed by the publisher Universal, and Ye Lie Moff is the executive producer.
Director Larry Old, assistant director Zack Snyder, and Amblin Entertainment also installed a casting director and another assistant director.
The very important camera position is also arranged by Amblin Entertainment.
Most of the old Larry's students were in the main assistant posts, and the rest of the cast and crew were packaged by William Morris, so Donovan was there with his allies in the William Morris film department. However, the artists they gave must go through the audition of the casting director, and the job position also needs to be approved by Amblin Entertainment, who is in charge of the specific production.
However, these people gathered in Chicago, and it is far from the time to talk about the specific shooting. In addition to the basic power distribution of the crew, the most important thing for a film is to find the target audience, and for this purpose, a series of issues such as plot and rating must be well stipulated. keynote.
"So, this movie is a youth musical, aimed at young people, hip-hop audiences and some African-American groups, right?" Catherine reconfirmed after Song Ya finished introducing the plot outline.
"Yes, that's my current plan." Song Ya replied.
"There is nothing wrong with the PG13 rating, just a few kissing scenes and some swear words." The producer of Amblin Entertainment nodded. Yaqiao gave a thumbs up, "APLUS, your script has been well grasped from the beginning, the characters, the plot, I have not found any settings that need major changes."
Ashamed, Song Ya knew that this must be the product of the original filmmaker's careful polishing, "Then let's shoot this way?"
Everyone looked at the old Larry who published the first version of the storyboard script, and naturally he would not object, and this set the tone.
"The schedule will be around next summer vacation, in terms of theaters..."
Catherine communicated step by step, and then chatted about the theater chain, "Universal Pictures will make a decision on the specific number of theater chains after watching the finished film, but at present, our design is to strive for more around the university and the African-American community. There are at least 600 to 800 theaters, and the preliminary communication work with related theaters..."
There are more than 100 theaters with better conditions next to the black area, and the DTS equipment has been remodeled. Amblin Entertainment is actively taking money out mainly because these theaters can immediately contribute to the box office of Jurassic Park. There will be some theaters at the end of the year. Schindler's List, all in one fell swoop.
"That's why APLUS's original soundtrack should all be produced with DTS technology, movie radio..." Catherine looked at old Larry.
"Let's do the dubbing in the later stage, that way the pressure will be much less, and the heroine will use a newcomer, so her and APLUS's acting skills..." Old Larry is not very optimistic.
"It's okay." After getting Song Ya's affirmative answer, Catherine wrote down in her notebook, "I won't participate in the subsequent preparatory meetings, and I will appear again when the film is sent to the editing room."
No problem, it’s all discussed in advance, which also means that the entire crew has officially entered the working state. Other specific arrangements will be negotiated in the following preparatory meetings, and then important positions such as photographers and Fu Huadao will be discussed. After taking the position, start to formulate shooting plans, detailed budgets, photography and art styles, etc., and then it is the turn to negotiate location shooting locations, actor auditions, actor pre-training and other matters.
