After a movie is successful, usually it is the director who benefits the most.

Yes, although what everyone sees more is that Chow Yun-fat has come back to life with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Michelle Yeoh has taken the opportunity to make new movies, and Zhang Ziyi and Lin Hao have opened up some international situations with this movie, but the one who has gained the most is undoubtedly

Li Eucalyptus.

They directly took over the huge investment in the superhero movie "The Incredible Hulk", which was jointly invested by Universal and Marvel with a total investment of 137 million U.S. dollars. Not when it was filmed in 2002, even now, it is an absolutely huge investment.

.

Transcendent A-level resource production.

If you think about it, 15 years later, that is, "Beauty and the Beast" in 2017 only had an investment of US$160 million. You can imagine how scary such a big-investment movie is and what kind of expectations the producers have.

And what will be the consequences if the movie is not released?

Really, think about the last 70 million box office of "Windtalker" with an investment of 115 million, which directly drove Wu Yusen out of Hollywood. And "The Incredible Hulk" also has a strong IP appeal. Originally, everyone was popular in "Spider-Man"

After that, everyone was looking forward to creating another miracle.

result...

The movie was released on June 20, and it grossed 60 million at the box office over the weekend. It undoubtedly topped the box office, but it was completely criticized by the American media and audiences.

"This is not a superhero movie!"

"Boring, boring, almost falling asleep."

"You are still asleep, I have already left the cinema."

There are constant controversies, and the box office itself is not very high.

As we all know, the box office will be a big hit in the first week of release, especially superhero movies, which everyone is the first to see. Therefore, the drop will be more obvious in the second week. After all, under normal circumstances, superhero movies are not that common.

Second and third brushes, of course there will be some in later movies.

But everyone knows what happened in the early stage.

By the 29th, the box office for the second weekend had already dropped to 10,000... This number and the drop were very abnormal. For example, "Daredevil", which was released in February of the same year, had an investment of 78 million, 40 million on the first Wednesday and 1,800 on the following Wednesday.

So is Wan...

So now it seems that inviting Lin Hao over at this time is a bit meaningful.

...

On July 7, Lin Hao was already in the United States, staying in a hotel, waiting for news.

Yes.

He has been in the United States for several years, but Li An still hasn't seen him. The summer is hot, but this feeling of having nothing to do makes Lin Hao feel very sick.

Originally, he thought he would only audition for two or three times at most, and then go back without bringing a script or anything, but the result was tragic. Director Zhang's play was kept secret and it was impossible to fax it over, so he has been sitting in the hotel for almost a week now.

, the other party still didn’t react at all.

I asked as it was quick, I was very busy, I'm really sorry.

So Lawrence almost encouraged Lin Hao to leave.

What is this called?

"House of Flying Daggers" should be released in September, and he is not fine either. Besides, he is now a rising star in Hollywood, with the "Buried Alive" series of movies, which performed amazingly at the box office and won three major European awards. Come again.

As soon as the trailer for "Get Out", which will be released in September, was released, it immediately shot up to the third place in the September movie expectations rankings...

There are many people begging him to film, so he has to wait for a week?

"I am a serious boss. If you adopt this posture today, many producers will not respect you so much tomorrow."

"I know." Of course Lin Hao knew.

In fact, if he was not a prophet, he would have been left alone for such a week...

Everyone gets angry, right?

"So maybe we should go and get busy with other things, you know, they're... I learned a new idiom, it's called too much to take care of."

...

It's funny to hear the idiom from Lawrence's mouth.

But in fact, that may be the truth.

Because "The Incredible Hulk" has already been stamped, the box office of this movie last weekend was almost 18.8 million, which is a direct drop from the first week. It has already welcomed "Charlie's Angels 2", "Law"

"Pretty Woman 2" and "Terminator 3".

And in this intense summer season, a masterpiece is about to be released - the 140 million investment "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."

The result? In the third week of "Hulk", that is, this week's weekend box office has dropped to seventh place, with 8 million. To this day, the North American box office is still 118 million.

According to calculations, there are only 250 million people in the world. It is a loss, but not that miserable.

Lin Hao also went to see this movie.

From his oriental perspective, it can be said that Li Yu's ambitions for "The Incredible Hulk" are very high.

Because everyone knows the routines of superheroes - most Marvel movies have a villain similar to themselves; rich people rely on technology, poor people rely on mutation; last-minute rescues, etc.

But the most important thing is the fast pace, exciting plot, various cool special effects and fighting scenes. It looks very enjoyable, but this is also the reason why many people don’t like superhero movies - they are too cliche, and they just enjoy the movie after watching it.

I can't experience the fun of digging some characters.

"The Incredible Hulk" focuses on the psychological portrayal of Bruce Banner and captures the connotation of the character. In this movie, the Hulk has developed the complex willfulness behind the character. Because he is temporarily unable to control his power,

He may pose a threat to many people, so he must restrain his desire for violence.

So in fact, he tried to break away from the superhero routine and create a new pattern, so he made a lot of changes and the story was not finished.

In this era...

It can only be an expected failure, and it may even be possible in the future. Because Lin Hao thought, maybe he himself is not suitable - after all, there is someone to compare, that is, Nolan's "Batman Trilogy" directly made him

Everyone exploded: It turns out that Superhero can still be like this, but still looks good!

...

Facts have proved that Li Yu failed to become Nolan.

Until the 9th, the 20th "Hulk" release, the box office faltered and finally exceeded 120 million, and the industry basically rejected Li Yu.

To be honest, his commercial films have never been good.

The subsequent "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" and "Gemini Man" were like that, with no surprise box office failure. But you know the impact is particularly strong now, so strong that Lawrence finally said directly: "Your commercial value is now

It is so high that if you sign a contract with Li Eucalyptus, your salary for the next film may drop a lot, and your reputation may also be affected. There will be too many things to follow.

"...I know, don't get excited, I'll contact you again." Every time at this time, Lin Hao would sigh: This is Hollywood.

But before I could say a few words, someone came in.

"Well, good afternoon, director!"

"Well, long time no see. Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Lin Hao habitually pretended to be polite:

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not busy either."

Rarely, Li Yu did not have the kind of gentle greetings he had before, and his expression was not very calm. His face was pale and swollen, and his eyes were red and bloodshot, full of exhaustion.

He was so tired that he even came straight to the point: "Actually, I asked Director Zhang to ask you if you would act in "Lust, Caution" as a test of mine."

"..."

Well, Danniu Zeng, you are right.

"But I'm sorry, I really don't have the mood to do this now. So I sincerely want to ask you a question. You also know that I have such a book in my hand, and the male protagonist can't find a suitable candidate."

Then, he motioned to his assistant to hand the book to Lin Hao: "This is a big challenge for you, but now you know... no one is willing to film this movie. So, this is not an audition, this is me
Chapter completed!
