Chapter 1037 Successfully Changed the Leader Before the Battle! There Are No Bad Guys Among the Crowd Anymore
Chapter 1037 Successfully changed the leader before the battle! There are no bad guys among the masses
In the film and television industry, it is inevitable to step on the "red line".
Even Chen Fei often steps on it. For example, projects such as "Manslaughter", "In the Name of the People" and "Dying to Survive" all passed the review by stepping on the red line. No one can say whether these projects will have problems in the future.
But there are standards for stepping on the red line!
There are actually many operations in the industry that step on the "subject red line", and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
But! The industry has already tacitly agreed that this kind of operation of stepping on the "bad artist red line" cannot be involved.
With the advent of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and "Railroad Tigers", everyone can see how angry the Film Bureau is.
Especially this "Railroad Tigers", which was directly named.
Zhang Hong even said that whoever dares to continue to tamper with it under his nose will have to bear a very terrible price!
But now, everyone really didn't expect that there are still people who are stepping on the red line in different ways!
Although the Golden Broom Award is not very popular, it is at least an award in the mainland, and it is also sponsored by the "Youth Film Handbook".
And this "Youth Film Handbook" belongs to Capital TV.
Now the Golden Broom Award suddenly came up with an operation of awarding awards to bad artists. It is hard not to doubt the thoughts and intentions of the mastermind behind it...
"Tsk tsk, I don't know where the bad guys are, anyway, they may not be the masses." Chen Fei smacked his lips, and a bit of sarcasm appeared on his face.
...
DC Films.
"Justice League" Project Department.
Hamada gave a warm welcome to Joss Whedon's arrival!
A week has passed, but Zack Snyder has not returned to post-production. This is undoubtedly a very major event for DC!
Hamada has completely lost patience with him and is currently starting the process of changing directors.
Of course, all this has not yet been informed to Zack Snyder himself.
Because Hamada is going to investigate Joss Whedon's strength and ability first.
Once it is confirmed that this "successor" can smoothly take over Zack Snyder's work, then the matter of changing the director will be officially put on the agenda!
"Mr. Koichiro Hamada, I'm glad to meet you."
Joss Whedon was very happy to meet Hamada's friendly and warm welcome, and he had a smile on his face throughout the whole process.
The atmosphere when the two sides first met was very friendly, so that both sides had a good vision of possible cooperation in the future.
"This is our screening room, and the screening of "Justice League" will be held here..."
Hamada personally accompanied Joss Whedon into the screening room and introduced him to some difficulties encountered in this project.
"So, the length should be reduced, the overall style should be changed, and it should be made into a family-friendly type, right?"
Joss Whedon echoed, keenly catching the meaning revealed in Hamada's words.
"That's right! That's it!" Hamada was overjoyed.
From the conversation just now, he could tell that Joss Whedon was much friendlier than Zack Snyder, and it was easy to communicate with him.
This is good news!
While the two were talking, on the screen, "Justice League" directed by Zack Snyder was slowly unfolding, and every shot condensed his efforts and talent.
However, as the film went on, Joss Whedon's expression gradually became solemn.
He deeply felt many shortcomings in the film: the rhythm was slow, the character creation was not vivid enough, the plot twists were abrupt...
These problems quietly accumulated in his heart, forming an indescribable sense of depression!
Unlike the family-friendly style of the Marvel series of movies, the "sense of depression" on the DC side was getting deeper and deeper, making him very uncomfortable.
After the more than 4-hour film screening ended, there was silence in the screening room.
Someone silently got up and rushed out holding his stomach, obviously unable to hold it back.
Hamada did not drink water before watching the movie, so he didn't feel like urinating now. He slowly turned his head and looked at Joss Whedon, waiting for his evaluation.
After a moment, Joss Whedon spoke.
His voice was calm and firm, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Hamada's heart hard!
"Mr. Hamada, I must be honest and say that I am not satisfied with this film." Joss Whedon frowned: "Although Zack Snyder is indeed a very talented director, his efforts in this film have not been rewarded as they should be. There are problems with the rhythm, character creation and plot of the film, and it is difficult for the audience to resonate."
Hamada nodded slowly, agreeing with these words.
Because in the previous few previews, almost all the film experts expressed similar views.
However, the next second, his face suddenly changed!
Because after Joss Whedon completely denied Zack Snyder's efforts, he actually suggested: "I think this movie needs to be reshot.
The rhythm of the film must be readjusted, the inner world of the characters must be deepened, and the plot must be made more compact and fascinating... Only then can the audience truly feel the charm of "Justice League"!
Otherwise, the performance of this movie after its release will only be like "Batman v Superman", with both word-of-mouth and box office failures!"
Hearing this, Hamada could no longer suppress his inner restlessness.
"But if we reshoot again, what will happen to the cost? Will all the previous efforts have to be completely abandoned?"
"No, no, no!" Joss Whedon added: "It's just a reshoot of a part of the scene. There is no need to overturn it. If you want to change the style, this is a process that must be carried out."
Upon hearing this, Hamada fell silent.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I need to think about it. This matter is too complicated. I have to report it to Warner. This is not something I can do alone."
Joss Whedon stood up slowly after hearing this: "Okay, Mr. Hamada Koichiro, if you can accept my proposal, then we can cooperate at any time.
But if your decision fails, then we can only say goodbye with regret. But what I need to express now is that I am very interested in this project, and I am also very confident that I can reshoot and edit it. "Justice League" has surpassed "Avengers", I hope you can think about it. "
"Okay, I will contact you as soon as there is news."
Hamada stood up and personally escorted Joss Whedon away from the company.
After watching the other party leave, Hamada did not continue to return to the company, but got in the car and went straight to Warner.
He had to ask Kevin Tsujihara for instructions. After all, reshoots would cost a lot of money, and DC Films simply couldn't allocate that much money for the time being.
On the other hand, "Aquaman", which is invested by DC, will start filming in May. It's time to use money, and DC is almost drained of it!
…
"Emperor, together with Microfilm and Kyushu DreamWorks, announced that the adventure comedy film "The Dangerous Journey to Treasure in Fragments", produced and starred by Ge You for the first time, has officially started shooting today."
"It is reported that in addition to Ge You, the film also has Yue Yunpeng, Du Chun, Bao Beier, Sun Yue, Re Yiza, Xiao Shen Yang and other powerful actors and comedians joining the cast, aiming to create a 'maximized ' for comic effect."
"The Dangerous Treasure Hunt in Fragments" tells the story of Uncle Ya, a fish seller, Ah Le, a dolphin trainer, and Zhi Guo, a security guard at the aquarium, who mistakenly sold the 'baby', the aquarium's star dolphin, abroad after being drunk; in order to clean up the stolen goods, The dolphin is suspected, and the "Three Broken Brothers" have to embark on a ridiculous adventure to find the dolphin. "
"..."
The filming ended on the 19th. As soon as Chen Fei returned to the hotel and opened Weibo, he saw that all major social platforms had been flooded with the draft of a movie called "The Dangerous Journey to Treasure in Fragments".
Produced by Ge You, and joined by comedians such as Yue Yunpeng, Sun Yue, Xiao Shen Yang, etc., it seems to be full of gimmicks.
It's just that the angle that netizens and media pay attention to seems a bit "unique".
The film studio has been promoting this movie, but the media and netizens have been badmouthing Ge You, saying that 99% of the movies produced by him will become a bad movie!
The reason for this conclusion is that since Ge You signed with Emperor in 2011, he has not had a successful and popular work so far.
Looking at it, there is no movie such as "Private Customization", "One Step Away", "The Death of Romance", "The Battle of the God of Cookery", etc., that has a passing reputation.
So much so that when everyone thinks of his classic works now, it's still the "Let the Bullets Fly" filmed in 2010.
And in the six years since "Let the Bullets Fly" ended, almost every movie he starred in or participated in was a bad movie!
Based on this, everyone's expectations and evaluation of him have dropped to freezing point.
"I'm not going to watch this movie. I'm really scared by Uncle Ge. I had a toothache after watching "The God of Cookery"."
"Why don't we terminate the contract with the Emperor directly? Take a look at the resources over there. What are they?"
"Du Chun? Isn't this the thing taught by Shang Dao? How did you get him involved? Can you still watch this movie?"
"I really miss "Let the Bullets Fly" so much. That's a real movie! I don't know when Jiang Wen's new film will be finished?"
"I finally discovered it. When you watch a movie in the future, you must check the word-of-mouth scores and reviews first, otherwise you will most likely be fooled!"
Chen Fei was eating melon leisurely, but suddenly, a phone call came in.
After taking a look at the caller ID, he pressed the connect button: "Hello? What's the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Han Jianu said cheerfully: "Brother! Hehe, as per your request, Wen Mu and I have cut out the first version of "The God of Medicine". What are the next arrangements?"
"Huh? It's pretty fast?"
"That's right! When have I ever procrastinated on doing something?"
"Okay, let me give you a definite encouragement first..."
After chatting for a while, Chen Fei ordered again: "Let's do this. You will back up the finished film first, and then ask the company to airlift a copy to Atlanta. There happens to be equipment here, and I will do the subsequent fine cutting. Let’s get it done.”
Sent to Atlanta? ? ?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Han Jianu was stunned for a moment, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind!
"Don't let the company deliver it! I'll deliver it. I've just been tired for so long and can go abroad for a vacation, hehe."
"It's okay to take a vacation, but you have to tell your father first not to sneak over here."
"I'll go tell you right now..."
Han Jia Nu couldn't wait to respond and hung up the phone before she finished speaking.
However, the second after he found his father's phone number, she suddenly stopped again: "No, if I go alone, the old man will definitely be worried. I have to find a companion, so that he may agree..."
Thinking of this, Han Jianu quickly swiped the screen of her mobile phone.
She first called Wen Muye, and fooled the other party so much that he agreed repeatedly.
Then, she called Liu Yifei again, ready to fool this heavyweight figure to the same front as her.
"Sister Yifei! Let me tell you, I just talked to Brother Chen Fei on the phone, and he said that he missed you so much and couldn't wait to see you right away..."
Liu Yifei: "???"
...
In a blink of an eye, several days passed quickly.
"The Hollywood blockbuster "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter" was officially released yesterday, with a total box office of 1.109 billion yuan - Maoyan app."
"The Hollywood blockbuster "Kong: Skull Island", produced by Warner Bros. and starring the first-line actress Jing Tian from the mainland, closed at 150 million yuan on the first day of its release."
"The love and suspense film "Suspect X's Clone", produced by Enlight Pictures, directed by Su Youpeng, and starring Wang Kai, Zhang Luyi, Lin Xinru, and Ye Zuxin, will hold its premiere in Beijing tomorrow."
" "Tomorrow's Son Season 1" once again officially announced two star promoters: singers Xue Zhiqian and Hua Chenyu will join... "
"Tmall, Weibo, and Jujiang have joined hands with Canxing Entertainment to officially announce that they will jointly launch the 2018 opening variety show "This! Is Street Dance", so stay tuned!"
"The super online variety show controlled by iQiyi and the first domestic idol boy group competition and training reality show "Idol Trainee" has been officially launched today..."
"..."
Traffic is exploding, Hollywood imported blockbusters are still killing it, and the domestic entertainment industry has already shown the beginning of chaos.
However, all this has nothing to do with Chen Fei.
Because at this time, he was holding Liu Yifei and sleeping soundly.
Han Jianu's "deception" skills are really strong.
After her nonsense, she really pulled Liu Yifei along and came to Atlanta together.
Han Sanping didn't want her to run around, but the project of "Dying to Survive" was very important, and Wen Muye and Liu Yifei were also there to accompany her... so she was finally let go.
Of course, bodyguards and assistants are indispensable. In addition to protecting her, they also have the intention of keeping an eye on her.
"I heard that Jianv went abroad?"
In the office of La Peikang, Chairman Lada was asking Han Jianv about her situation with concern.
Han Sanping, who was standing opposite, raised her eyes and gave him a look, nodded slightly and said, "Well, she went out. "Dying to Survive" has reached the stage of fine-tuning, and Chen Fei has to take the lead."
When he heard the word "Dying to Survive", the corners of La Peikang's mouth twitched.
He really regretted it!
If he had known that "The Great Wall" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" would lose so much money, he would never give up "Dying to Survive" no matter what.
In his opinion, as long as he was a little thick-skinned, he could have at least split 5% from this project.
But now, the project is almost over, and everything is too late!
But fortunately, he still has the last "The Founding of an Army" here.
With this project, I think he won't be criticized by his boss when he reports on his work this year.
"This is the publicity and promotion plan for "The Founding of an Army", take a look."
La Peikang handed a thick stack of documents to Han Sanping.
However, after receiving it, Han Sanping did not open it immediately, but warned in a deep voice: "I have to tell you in advance that the box office of this movie may not be particularly good, you have to be mentally prepared."
"Huh? Why?"
La Peikang was confused.
He had seen the finished film of this movie before, and it was very well shot! Especially passionate.
"Because there is Wolf Warrior 2 at the same time."
"Wolf Warrior 2?" La Peikang was very surprised and said, "What's wrong with it? I remember that Wolf Warrior 1 only had a box office of 600 million. Even if the second part is of higher quality, can it break 1 billion?
I think we should focus on the movie version of Eternal Love. This is a movie produced by Alibaba Pictures, with huge investment! It is also a fantasy IP masterpiece with many fans..."
Hearing La Peikang's mumbling, Han Sanping immediately lost the idea of continuing.
He hadn't realized before that this guy was simply a stubborn donkey, and was particularly self-righteous, and couldn't listen to other people's words and opinions at all!
Han Sanping interrupted him impatiently: "Anyway, I just want to remind you to be careful of Wolf Warrior 2."
"Oh, okay, got it."
La Peikang nodded slightly, but from his demeanor and expression, it can be seen that he didn't care too much about Wolf Warrior 2.
…
After a night, the day dawned in Los Angeles!
At Hamada's invitation, Joss Whedon came to DC Films again.
"From now on, this project is handed over to you!" As soon as they met, Hamada shook Joss Whedon's hand seriously and solemnly, with expectations on his face: "Please use this movie to break Marvel's undefeated myth and create the greatness of "Justice League"!"
"Hahaha, okay, Mr. Koichiro Hamada, I will never let you down."
Joss Whedon laughed heartily and was in a very good mood.
After working as the assistant director of "Avengers" for two consecutive years and working for Chen Fei for two years, he felt that he had learned enough experience.
And this time, "Justice League" is the "work" that verifies his learning results.
He is very sure that his performance this time will definitely open the eyes of the entire Hollywood!
