Entertainment Guru Rebirth
Chapter 1867: While shooting
"Wow. Five hundred million people watch a movie, and the box office must not exceed tens of billions of dollars."
"Mr. Xiao is really domineering. In the history of movies, there has never been a literary film with a box office of more than 10 billion."
"It is estimated that Mr. Xiao will be slapped in the face this time. It is absolutely impossible for 500 million people." A reporter pointed the finger at David Harnett
"Mr. Harnett, do you think this movie will attract 500 million people to watch"
David said seriously: "If someone said this before seeing the script of Forrest Gump, I, like you, would definitely not believe it. But now, I not only believe it, but it is very likely that it will exceed 500 million. 600 million or more. Because this movie is really great, it's the best script I have ever seen, not one of them."
"Mr. Harnett, can you tell me about your pay"
"Remuneration" David was taken aback, then turned to ask Xiao Yunhai, and said, "This issue has not been discussed at all. Director, we don't seem to have signed a contract yet."
Xiao Yunhai was also dumbfounded and said, "Did you not sign a contract with the brokerage department?"
David Harnett shook his head and said, "No."
Seeing this, the reporters quickly picked up their pens and wrote them down in their notebooks. The script was so wonderful that the actor David Harnett forgot to sign any contracts with the crew.
"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Harnett is an actor in your company. How much would you pay Mr. Harnett?"
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I don't know the current market conditions in Hollywood. However, my play has never caused any actor to lower the price because of their relationship with each other. As much as they should be."
A reporter reminded: "Mr. Harnett is currently worth 60 million U.S. dollars."
Xiao Yunhai said indifferently, "That would be 60 million."
"Damn, really rich."
"Nonsense. Ninety percent of the countries in the world do not have money without him."
The interview continues.
"Mr. Harnett, you should play Forrest Gump. What kind of character is this?"
David said: "I can only say that he is a special person with extraordinary charm. He has all the advantages advocated by the United States, I believe you will like him."
"Ms. Lumina, can you introduce the heroine you play"
Lumina complained: "Please pay attention to the wording. I'm just waiting for the heroine. If I don't perform well, the director will probably kick me out of the crew. The whole crew, except David, is like that."
Xiao Yunhai patted his forehead and said, "Lumina, are you taking revenge?"
"Mr. Xiao, why did you do this, don't you believe your actor"
Xiao Yunhai said: "This reporter friend, your question is simply to provoke the relationship between me and the actors. First of all, I want to say that they are all actors with very good acting skills. I don't mean to believe them. The more important thing between a character and an actor is the consistency of temperament. One or two auditions will not show anything at all. So I simply did not do any auditions and called them directly. This is why everyone is still pending. the reason."
"If there really is a question of temperament between actors and characters, would you really ask them to leave the crew?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. In the filming of the film, suitable is appropriate, and inappropriate is inappropriate. I will not make any compromises. However, as compensation, I will let Marvel provide them with better opportunities. ."
"What do you call a better opportunity?"
"Marvel has dozens of films to be filmed every year. It is not difficult to find a suitable role for them. Even the protagonist of a major production is not impossible."
As soon as Xiao Yunhai said this, Tom Hardy next to him immediately raised his hand and said: "Mr. Xiao, I may not be suitable for the role. Do you see any male protagonists suitable for me in Marvel's large-scale movies?"
"And me. I may not be too close to the character's temperament."
Other actors have also said similar things.
Xiao Yunhai smiled and cursed: "Is it interesting to you guys, my play is so unliked by you."
Everyone laughed.
Half an hour later, the press conference ended, and Xiao Yunhai began the formal filming.
Forrest Gump is not difficult to film, as long as the actor David Harnett can take Forrest Gump, then there are not too many problems.
And David Harnett's performance did not disappoint Xiao Yunhai. He really melted into the role, not just in the play, even when there was no play, he still maintained Forrest Gump's state.
The movements, expressions, ways of speaking and even thinking are exactly the same as Forrest Gump, as if they had changed.
Not crazy, not live.
David Harnett explained the meaning of this sentence with practical actions.
However, it was a week after reaching the realm of non-discrimination in human drama. Xiao Yunhai compared the difference between before and after. Without even thinking about it, he reshot all the scenes of the first week.
The crew was speechless for a while.
The protagonist is a fool, and the director is a lunatic. This is what everyone secretly evaluates the two of them.
The performance of other actors was also very good, and there was no problem, especially Tom, who played Deng, was able to contend with the crazy David in terms of momentum. This gave Xiao Yunhai a big surprise.
While Xiao Yunhai was busy filming, the English version of Twelve Citizens was finally released on the Twitter video pp.
Xiao Yunhai has reviewed this version. On the basis of preserving everyone's wonderful acting skills, the Marvel editorial department has changed the lines very appropriately, which makes Xiao Yunhai very admired.
Of course, the literal version of the Twelve Citizens is also preserved above, and they can be packaged and downloaded for only eight dollars.
Wang Guoan and others are not particularly well-known in Europe and the United States, only those fans who pay close attention to the Chinese entertainment industry know their status.
Therefore, the Twelve Citizens can only rely on Xiao Yunhai, and the gimmick that ended one day, to attract everyone's attention.
Fortunately, Xiao Yunhai's popularity was not built up. The number of downloads exceeded 20 million on the first day.
The number of downloads on the second day reached 38 million, far exceeding the first day.
One week later, the number of downloads by the 12 citizens exceeded 200 million, with a score of 1.6 billion US dollars. Coupled with the achievements in Asia, the box office of Twelve Citizens reached 3.8 billion US dollars, shocking the whole world.
But ~lightnovelpub.net~ the reputation of the two films in Europe and America is very different.
The revised version of the Twelve Citizens is in line with the current situation in Europe and America, in line with their values, and the wonderful interpretation of those actors has been widely recognized by countless fans, and the scores are basically above nine.
As for the literally translated version, fans can't accept it. Not only did I not feel much about what was said in it
Instead, I felt a little ridiculous. The score was only four points, which is the lowest rated film by Xiao Yunhai in Europe and America.
However, those film critics who have deep research on Huaxia culture don't think so. They know Huaxia's values and worldview, understand what is said in it, and are extremely excited to see more than a dozen actors with outstanding acting skills.
A five-star film critic even commented that the film is a textbook about acting.
Unfortunately, there are too few such people.
Xiao Yunhai was fortunate that if he had not accepted Raul's suggestion and produced a modified version of the Twelve Citizens, then this movie would have become his Waterloo.
