Chapter 960 This box office is a little off
"Your book is really going to be made into a movie? Some people on the Internet say that the foreigner who went to the celebration with you before was the producer of Universal Pictures?"
Everyone has a gossip heart.
Students from top universities will also pay attention to these entertainment news while studying hard, not to mention that one of the protagonists of the news is around!
Faced with this classmate’s problem, Zhang Chu admitted readily: “It’s him that he is right. Now he just has this plan. Maybe we haven’t seen the movie release after we graduate.”
"No way? We are only in our sophomore year now and we have to graduate for two years. How slow is it to shoot!" An Mi said in surprise.
The other students also had the same expression and didn't believe it at all.
"What movie will take so long?"
"I know it needs to be carefully crafted, isn't two years enough?"
“It’s good to spend more time preparing for a good movie.”
Zhang Chu patted An Mi on the shoulder and said, "You should be in the United States at that time. Remember to call on your classmates to go to the cinema to support the box office, so that you can save it too much."
He himself did not plan to continue his studies after graduating from university, and these friends all had their own ideas, some wanted to go to the United States, some wanted to go to Yan University's main school, and some wanted to go to other schools to communicate.
An Mi is now preparing for the TOEFL test, and it doesn't seem difficult at the moment.
"The Lord of the Rings" has just discussed the copyright of the movie. Chris did take a script that was temporarily rushed to work, but to be honest, there are many things in it that are not well set!
Now that Zhang Chu has written out the entire content of the trilogy, Universal Pictures must appropriately delete and modify the novel.
Not every director dares to take on such a big production. If the box office performance of this level of film is not good, it can be said that the director is responsible and may completely lose the opportunity to produce the big production in the future.
There is no director, no script, no actor, no shooting method, unknown, and the preparation team has not yet been pulled up. It takes a year and a half for the filming, and then special effects are made and the promotion is released. Two years is really not enough!
"Farewell My Concubine" is actually very fast. Although it won the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival, it has been less than a year since its establishment to its release.
First of all, there is no complicated post-production in art films. The most important thing is editing. There is no need to do special effects, which saves a lot of time.
In addition, the director has a very strong executive ability. Since the early preparations, he has arranged everything in an orderly manner. He has chosen powerful actors. Although they also have them, it is out of considerations of their acting skills and want to perform at a higher level.
It is clear that the movie "Bird Pi" has been announced to start filming for a long time, but when "Farewell My Concubine" is about to appear on the big screen, the fantasy drifting movie directed by Li An still has to wait for half a year!
Most of the plots in "Boyant Pi" are about Pi and Tiger Richard Parker drifting on the sea. To be honest, it should be easier to shoot than in the "Lord of the Rings" movie series, and at least it won't involve so many big scenes.
Since it took two years from the launch of the project to the final release of this "Boyant Pi", it is almost impossible to see Frodo, Aragon and others appear on the big screen before graduating from university.
Although An Mi was a little regretful, he actually wanted to go to the cinema with his friends to watch this movie before graduation, which is of different memorial significance.
"Although you can't watch "The Lord of the Rings", you can still support these movies."
"Farewell My Concubine" was not long after, and "Pi's Fantasy Drifting" was also in this year's awards season. "The Da Vinci Code" is said to have been completed for more than a month. With such a long post-production time, nothing unexpected happens in November or even October!
After preparing for so long, it exploded this year, making fans' wallets dry.
"Yes, "Farewell My Concubine" has been on pre-sale now. The cinema next to the school is a bit expensive. A 2D movie costs 40 yuan. We all agreed to go to Zhongguancun to watch it, which is only 28."
"It's just that the screening is a little short, and it seems that there are only 4 shows a day."
Zhang Chu spread his hands and said helplessly: "There is no way. After all, this is just an art film, and it is definitely not as many commercial films. It would be nice to have 4 shows a day, and there is still one week left. I guess it will be adjusted at that time."
Although there are awards from the Cannes Film Festival, the theater managers are still not optimistic about such an art film that is almost three hours long, so there is almost no inclination in the pre-scheduling film.
The college entrance examination is about to end, and the most lively summer season in the film market in the year is about to kick off, and the competitors of "Farewell My Concubine" are extremely powerful.
Cinemas pay attention to efficiency. Which movie can bring more audiences will naturally increase the number of screenings, which is an incomparable reality!
Of course, there is another situation where strong distribution companies follow up tickets. Usually, movies produced by large companies can be compared with Hollywood blockbusters on the first day, and there is no need to follow the route of a later reputation counterattack.
Many heavyweight blockbusters will be launched on June 12, the most famous of which is "Megatron", an independent film derived from the "Transformers" series has been highly anticipated by many people.
Who didn't have Transformers in his childhood?
It just so happens that anti-hero trends are now popular, so Megatron, who once served as a villain in "Transformers", also has the chance to appear as the protagonist. This movie mainly tells the story of them on the planet Cybertron.
Fans and viewers are all curious about this planet and how the Decepticon organization was born!
Although each "Transformers" has a bad reputation, the early reviewers of this "Megatron" have made a comeback. The 81% freshness of Rotten Tomatoes and the 88% popcorn index of the audience are almost the best in the series.
In addition to "Megatron", there is also a Hollywood animation masterpiece "Crazy Dog" released. This animation can be said to be suitable for all ages and has a great reputation in Europe and the United States. It only won the box office championship in the United States this week!
Now domestic audiences like Hollywood's excellent animation works very much. It is not difficult for good quality works to get a box office of one billion.
Not only will it face the attack of Hollywood movies, "Farewell My Concubine" will also face competition for a domestic comedy.
Comedy has always been the most likely type of domestic films to make big profits with small profits, and dark horses are born every year.
This film, called "Fake the Play Really" was created by a famous domestic funny team. The audience is very popular with this team, and almost every work will make the audience laugh.
