Chapter 1946： comedy script

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

The first script in Evan-Bell's hands was "The Hangover." Evan-Bell liked this work very much in his last life, and the sequels released later were also very pleasing. Unfortunately, it was the third sequel before Evan-Bell was reborn. No release, so haven't been able to see what the quality of the third sequel will be.

The story of "Hangover" is very simple. It is the groom's bachelor party before marriage, but after the three best men and the groom went crazy all night, they woke up the next day and found that the groom was gone, and they didn't remember what happened last night. They can only follow the map, hoping to find a groom and hold the wedding smoothly.

In the Hollywood environment, no one is willing to invest in such a story. Because bachelor party works can be said to be flooded, and the original "Life with a Glass of Wine" was nominated for the Oscar, but the problem is that it is definitely not that simple to shoot new ideas on such a flood of subjects. This is even more proliferating than the theme of "Juno". In other words, the space for the director to play is very limited. If filmmakers are willing to invest in Cinderella's Cinderella story, it's because there is always a market for love dreams, and few film companies would be willing to invest in a subject with almost no novelty like the bachelorette party. Because the market positioning is not clear

That's the point of concern for Thomas-Lansing et al., and "The Hangover" director Todd-Phillips is not Evan-Bell, who is currently best known for his work starring Ben Stiller and Owen-Wilson." Two heroes in the police world." The box office can only be said to be average, and after adding the global box office, it was barely able to break even, which was a waste of the appeal of the two big stars, so whether Todd Phillips can shoot a flooded theme with new ideas? This must be questioned; as for the two screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, they have only been in the industry for less than three years and have no representative works yet, and their ability to control the lines is also worrying. After all, many comedies rely on The charm of the dialogue to create a laugh. Considering this, the investment cost of "The Hangover" of 35 million is not so simple.

Evan Bell read the script carefully, and recalled what he knew about the movie in his previous life. Why did he like it, or why the audience would buy it, making the first film After the filming, the second and third parts were moved to the itinerary.

In my memory, "The Hangover River" won nearly $300 million at the box office with an investment of 35 million, making it the biggest dark horse at the box office in 2009.

The biggest highlight of "The Hangover" is that the characters' dialogues are full of jokes, and it is very rare for the story to cut a **** path from the flood of themes. The most important thing is that "The Hangover" has replaced the audience from the beginning. In suspense: what happened last night and how did the groom disappear? This kind of suspense takes the audience to wander together in Las Vegas, which is indeed different from the general comedy that is purely funny and funny. In other words, there is an attractive main line that supports the whole story. Of course, the excellent performance of the actors can not be ignored.

Therefore, after careful consideration, it can be seen that "The Hangover River's script still has many bright spots, which is also the biggest reason for Thomas Lansing and others. As for the chemical reaction after the integration of the entire crew, it depends on the formation of the crew. Thinking of this, Evan and Bell nodded. This script was invested by Eleven Industry and Fiber Lab, and it was indeed a feasible solution. If there are still traces of "Hangover", then the second script "Fake Getting married" is completely confusing.

The story of "fake marriage" is very common, so common that it is not conspicuous in Hollywood at all. Any ordinary person can write such a story. The executive editor-in-chief of a publishing house, she is resolute, stern and capable, and she is afraid of everything, but because she is so focused on her work that she forgets about her visa problem, she may be deported back to her native Canada at any time, or even May lose your job. As a last resort, she admitted that she was about to marry a young subordinate, and the subordinate reluctantly accepted the fake marriage trick of the boss, but one of the conditions was that he could eventually take the position of editor.

This story can even be described as inconspicuous. In Hollywood, where there are so many good stories, such stories can be dismissed with vulgar, common and other words. The only thing worth mentioning is that the combination of mature women and tender men has become quite popular in recent years. For its novel collocation, it has also won the love of many audiences, and romantic comedies have always had its fixed market, especially the female market. This is also the fundamental reason why Thomas Lansing and others left this script temporarily, but they did not pay much attention to it.

But in fact, the "fake marriage" invested 40 million yuan, but in the last lifetime, it finally exchanged for more than 150 million yuan at the North American box office. It can definitely be said that it made a lot of money.

But why? Why is such a story so sought after? Evan-Bell couldn't help but find it very interesting. If he hadn't been reborn, in fact, his cut-off with Thomas-Lansing and others would be similar, and he wouldn't even put him on the waiting list. In comparison, "The Hangover" is more worthy of filming.

Evan-Bell thought about it carefully. In fact, the "fake marriage" can achieve such good results. One of the reasons is that the story is simple but easy, with a clear main line and enough jokes. The real focus of romantic comedies is actually the one in the middle. "Love": The second is the credit of director Anne Fletcher, the female director who made her name in 2006 with the hit "Dancing My Life", and the "Twenty-Seven Dresses" at the beginning of this year. Although the word of mouth is mediocre, the box office results are still very good. Her delicate grasp of love can be said to be unique.

Of course, these are secondary, and the real reason is the rise of the female market. For a long time, the seriousness of Hollywood film companies, men between the ages of thirteen and thirty-five, and family audiences are the mainstays of the American box office, so the works are mainly action films, **** comedies, angry horror films and cartoons. Just look at the achievements of those comic heroes who show their skills on the big screen, and the summer season is dominated by action and technology-led commercial blockbusters. From here, you can see who is in the minds of American film companies. is the real God.

But in recent years, the previous year's "Fashion Devil" and last year's "Sex and the City" have achieved impressive results. The rise of female audiences has brought women's films back to life.

For a long time, the main market for women has been in cosmetics and clothing, but now female audiences are also willing to walk into the cinema to choose their favorite works to watch.

Against such a background, the "fake marriage" of the mature and tender boy faction captured the hearts of female audiences with ease and romance, and in reality there is no shortage of fairy tale style. Especially the role setting of women in "Fake Marriage", the female devil in the workplace, but there is still a longing for love in the heart, which is a very strong sense of substitution for more and more white-collar female audiences in the workplace.

It is no wonder that when those large film companies decide on a new film, they will not only consider the work itself, but also the cast of directors, actors, and screenwriters, but also the background of the entire era, including the impact of the Oscar-led awards season on the film market. is indispensable. Although the selection of works is a matter of "vision", this vision is not something that everyone can have. Excellent overall view and keen intuition are indispensable.

After Evan-Bell thought about it clearly, although it was decided that both "Hangover" and "Fake Marriage" could be shot, one with an investment of 35 million and the other with an investment of 40 million. It is not difficult for the studio, but Evan Bell did not directly speak out his decision as before, but went to meet Thomas Lansing and other three people with Teddy Bell, and started the two scripts. During the discussion, Evan-Bell recounted his own understanding and cognition, everyone expressed their opinions, and finally officially approved the project.

Once the project is confirmed, in fact, it is a matter of time to start shooting. After entering the second half of the year, Studio Eleven has also begun to prepare for the film market next year.

As for the two proposals "Alice in Wonderland" and "Tron Wars", Evan-Bell and others also discussed it. Evan-Bell thinks that shooting is possible, but the script should be selected carefully~www.novelhall .com~ The decisive factor of a commercial blockbuster is much more complicated than that of a comedy movie, and Evan Bell still has his own insistence on the issue of the script.

As far as Evan-Bell thinks, "Tron Chronicles" must not be filmed, because the whole plot is too weak to stand up to scrutiny: "Alice in Wonderland" can be kept temporarily, but the shooting of this work is To compete with Disney, who will eventually get the project is also an uncertain outcome.

Evan-Bell proposed that if Eleven Studios intends to make a big investment, it is the first time that they can cooperate with large film companies, such as Warner Bros., or Disney, Paramount, etc. During the cooperation process, Not only does it reduce risks, but more importantly, Studio Eleven can learn from experience in this process and prepare for the next independent investment.

In the midst of the busy work, the ears of 2008 finally slipped into October, and the sense of urgency of the awards season was slowly coming. Not to mention the news about the release of art films occupying every corner of the line of sight, the attention to the seeds of the awards season has also reached A new peak has been reached, and news about the Golden Globes and the Oscars is flying all over the place.

Among these various news, the news about Evan Bell is also very eye-catching, not only because this young man who is about to turn 26 years old has brought a strong work like "Juno" in the director's position, Also because Evan Bell is an actor, it seems that the difficulty of being crowned the best actor seems to be gradually increasing as time goes on.
