1206 Adaptation

After Little Fox’s speech summarizing the past, present, and imagining the future, the lights in the hall dimmed.

This is a very traditional premiere, except that there are more academic elders and film critics than before, and there are fewer lucky people who bought various products and got invitation tickets to the premiere.

Yes, this is also one of the traditions of Laerdemo. If you buy any product in Laerdemo, you can enter a lottery.

The jar for the lottery comes from the Screen Actors Guild, and usually contains some ordinary movie theater tickets. If there is a premiere, there will also be some invitation tickets to the premiere.

Holding these invitation coupons allows you to attend the premiere. This is probably some benefit given to ordinary people by the entire city and even the entire industry to stimulate their consumption in this city.

After all, the bigger the premiere, the more heavyweight celebrities will be present. The close contact with these people can make those people pay for every last penny in their pockets!

The story of the movie has been slightly changed from the real story. After all, no one wants the heroine to only appear in the "first half", and they also hope that she can appear in the second half.

Coupled with the on-screen antagonistic portrayal of Penny and Nellie, the two girls also have a new plot.

As soon as the male protagonist appeared, some people in the movie audience exclaimed. He was a very handsome actor and he was still very young.

Of course, he is still a little worse than Lynch, but I have to admit that he is already very handsome.

"Because of this guy, the shooting plan has been postponed..." Penny explained in Lynch's ear that this actor was the one selected from the audition.

To be selected from tens of thousands of applicants, he needed more than just luck, but also a lot of other sacrifices, such as... a contract.

"Fox signed a full contract with him for six years and 20 movies, and he got very little!"

This is certainly inevitable. The purpose of selecting new actors is to maximize the value of exploited actors.

There are many agencies and production companies in the Federation that are good at discovering new talents, but their discovery and training are not without cost.

Many people only see the glamorous side of celebrities, but not the real them.

For example, the handsome male protagonist on the screen is bound to explode in the film industry. No matter how high his net worth rises in the next six years, he will always pay the contract price he signed at the beginning, which is about 20,000. Receive the company's movies for 1 Yuan a piece.

In addition to these, for all endorsements and the like, Fox wants 80%, and he can only get 20%.

It seems... unbelievable, but even so there are still many people willing to sign a contract with the company.

Everyone has a dream of becoming a star, and there are always people who are willing to pay any price to become a star!

And with the company's strong support, after the contract ends, he will be able to enjoy the contract of an A-list star, if he does not leave the industry halfway.

In fact, looking at it from the other side, this contract is not so unreasonable. At least to promote an unknown newcomer, the company also needs to bear various risks.

Every time a new movie is shot, every activity, if he fails to become a big star in the Federation as the company imagined, then all the company's efforts will be in vain!

This is actually a very fair transaction. If one party bears all the risks, then they naturally need more returns.

The actor does not take any risks and must work in exchange for equal returns.

There are also some people who want to settle with the company after becoming popular. This kind of thing is impossible from the beginning. Capitalists know better than judges how to properly use every legal clause to protect their interests.

Maybe there are indeed agencies, production companies, or directors in this world who are good at discovering new talents, but their purpose is not limited to making a movie, but to pursue greater wealth value!

Lynch continued to watch the movie. The story in the movie started with boarding the ship. The filming was very realistic because they did rent the ship where the incident occurred.

The boat belongs to every moment. In the past, it would run twice a year. At other times, if the company did not use it, it would be left to travel companies and other places for sightseeing trips.

In other words, as long as the money is given, they are willing to rent out the yacht, not to mention that the yacht will become more valuable after the disaster and the filming of the movie. The company has no reason to refuse Fox Film's request at any time.

At the beginning, everything was basically similar to what really happened. There were pirates lurking among the crew, the deviated route, and the appearance of pirates. The rhythm was very tense.

From the beginning, people were not given much time to relax. Many people's bodies became tense just watching it. Affected by the content of the movie, the plot became more and more tense.

The plot changed a bit after the pirates boarded the ship. Lynch's story didn't change much, but Penny's storyline did.

Originally she just hid and waited for everything to be over, but in the movie she was entrusted with the important task of repairing the telegraph machine.

Of course, the adaptation of the plot is not made up. Everyone knows that this girl has never gone to college, and it is impossible for her to complete the important task of repairing the telegraph machine independently.

Her task was to find a way to get to the workshop on the delivery floor and take out the damaged spare parts from the telegraph machine.

There are a lot of pirates on every level below deck, of course it's a small loophole and there shouldn't be that many pirates, but who cares?

This obvious loophole does not affect the movie-watching experience. On the contrary, it will make people look forward to those exciting plots because there are more enemies.

In this way, Lynch is trying to figure out how to deal with the pirates on the deck, fighting wits and courage, while Penny sneaks down at the risk of being killed at any time. The change in the entire movie plot is considered a success.

Nellie's role was arranged as a tourist who boarded the ship at the beginning, and she had some conflicts with Penny at the beginning. After the pirates took control of the whole ship, she came to the stage, and thus began her relationship with the entire ship. The story line of the plot.

It is very exciting, the shooting techniques are also very mature, and the screenwriter's ideas are also unique. The eighty-minute length makes it impossible to find a single moment to relax!

The expressions of those in the academy are also very serious. Regardless of whether they are interested in the film or not, they are clear enough to recognize its value and market value.

They do not admit that it is artistic because its shooting techniques and plot lack depth. They only pursue sensory stimulation and ignore the sublimation of the soul and personality. Without these, it is not art.

But it must be profitable, and people will like this kind of movie, which makes those old people somewhat dissatisfied.

They have been working for a lifetime, and maybe their best movies only sold tens of thousands of dollars, but now any movie can sell hundreds of thousands, millions, or even three to five million, which makes them famous in the industry. His position became increasingly embarrassing.

Although they are called the founders, there is really nothing particularly classic or particularly impressive. This is probably the reason for their crazy pursuit of artistry.

Because art is priceless.

Film critics watch the film very seriously, and their perspective on the film is more commercial.

In a commercialized society, film critics also need to adjust their positioning. Some people pursue the artistry of films, but their columns in film newspapers or film magazines are getting smaller and smaller.

There may be a group of die-hard fans who support them, but there is not much market for film critics who are purely artistic. On the contrary, commercial films are becoming very popular, and publishing houses are willing to give more space and a higher position to such film critics.

It can be seen that they are very serious, which is enough to prove that this is an excellent movie.

As for the ordinary lucky ones, they were already so nervous that they even breathed a lot lighter.

Little Fox, who was watching the moviegoers on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief. He succeeded!

At seven o'clock, the movie ended. With huge flames, several speedboats broke through the fireworks and rode out on the waves. The hero and heroine in the movie successfully rescued themselves and cooperated with the coast guard to eliminate the pirates.

The first audience member stood up and applauded spontaneously, and then more and more people stood up, and there was a round of applause in the cinema.

The screening room of the Palace Theater can accommodate 2,000 people. It is also the largest screening room in Laltimore. Whether people like it or not, when the vast majority of people stand up and applaud, they have to follow the crowd.

Applause, and praise the success of the film.

Next is a sumptuous dinner. Fox Studios has been preparing for this day for a long time, so they will not be so stingy.

After watching the movie, under the leadership of the staff, everyone entered the huge restaurant. The place was already full of cooks and ingredients, and anyone could eat what they wanted.

After Little Fox said hello to Lynch, he took a step away first. He had to greet the old men.

In order to let these old men feel the respect of Fox Studios, Little Fox entertained them alone in the restaurant next door.

The elegant and clean environment, comfortable slow-tempo piano music, beautiful waitresses and sumptuous and delicious dinners made every founder of film art very satisfied. They felt that Fox Pictures valued them, and they I feel that I am respected by others.

Isn't this what they want?

They sat at the dining table, waving sterling silver tableware and devouring food, and the compliments they exchanged while talking made everything look so harmonious.

Next door, in the busy restaurant, people were still talking about the movie they had just watched. Film critics rarely discussed the plot of the movie with pure audiences.

Lynch was sitting in the corner. Some people wanted to come over and chat with him, but they were stopped.

The person who was rejected was not angry. Instead, he apologized for disturbing Mr. Lynch's thinking, and then turned around and left.

If this were a painting, its name would be Vanity Fair!
