Chapter 1578

When Simon returned to Los Angeles after his two-day trip to Silicon Valley, his first concern was the film.

In March, the dust has basically settled on several films scheduled for Valentine's day in February. There are two breaking hundred million films. Jennifer Aniston starred in the new version of "I'm crazy for Mary" and Meg Ryan starred in the new film "embracing the dawn", one of 110 million and one of 130 million, and a class B action film "after the attack" starring Shanger Winton of 70 million, Three films, temporarily getting tickets, box office list in 2000.

The past has passed, after all, helpless, more people still look forward.

In addition to the upcoming Oscar awards ceremony at the end of the month, one of the most popular news exposed by the Hollywood film circle in March is the official launch of Marvel's film universe project.

The first-hand news was exposed by the igrit portal. After all, it is its own platform.

The exact time is March 7. In the front page of the portal, danilis entertainment officially established the marvel film universe preparatory group, which is subordinate to Marvel Entertainment and takes into account Marvel film industry and marvel TV. In other words, marvel film universe may also be connected in series through TV dramas.

At the same time, through the release of igrit, Marvel's film universe preparatory group also openly recruited troops from the industry.

People with a little knowledge of recruitment understand that there is still more speculation and momentum. However, in just a few days after the news was made public, millions of e-mails were received from the e-mail published on the Internet, and a large part of them hoped to find a job in this marvelous plan, even serving tea and pouring water, Therefore, it can also be seen that marvelous has no less extensive influence than DC.

The outside world is bustling, and inside danilis, the planning of Marvel's film universe is orderly.

In terms of creativity, Simon began to work very early.

For example, Jon feru, Robert Downey Jr., the black widow candidate this time, the comic series planned to be relocated in advance for the whole Marvel film universe, and so on. Including Kevin Fitch, 27, who was once the backbone of Marvel's film universe, has been quietly incorporated into danilis by Simon.

What's more, this is just an advertisement, which can be regarded as a definite reassurance for countless manwei superhero fans who have been looking forward to manwei superhero films for a long time. This time is true!

However, the real first film will be released after the completion of the two Justice League films.

Not only that, even if it is completely in his own interests, this time, just like the DC film universe planning constantly elongated by Simon, Simon also hopes to slow down the marvel film universe and not be too dense, so as to affect the diversification of Hollywood films.

After all, if Hollywood has only superhero movies left, it seems to be prosperous, but it is inevitable that it is not far from decline.

Amid the uproar surrounding Marvel's film universe plan, the end of March will soon come.

Daenerys studios.

In the twinkling of an eye, it came to March 24.

Friday.

The following Sunday was the official day of the 72nd Academy Awards.

For this Oscar, Chicago, which has recently exceeded US $240 million at the local box office, has little suspense. Whether it is the box office or word of mouth, or even the theme of the film itself, song and dance films, this is one of the best memories of the golden age by the mainstream white men of the Oscar, coupled with the strong public relations of danilis entertainment, And there were no competitors in the same period. Therefore, even if danilis has been too strong for several consecutive years, she still can't run this time.

Exclusive is exclusive. Even if Oscar wants to balance, he can't go against the trend.

What's more, both Hollywood and the majority of fans have gradually become accustomed to the strength of danilis entertainment. Just like that time a long time ago, in the golden age, Hollywood was MGM and Oscar was MGM.

Now, Hollywood is daenerys, Oscar and daenerys.

It's normal!

Malibu, daenerys studios.

Simon is still a busy schedule timed by minutes. In the same small conference room, there are more than a dozen consecutive meetings starting from one o'clock in the afternoon, including several remote video conferences, involving film, television, science and technology, politics and other aspects.

So until more than six o'clock in the evening, the last production meeting.

As for the latest sequel of the alien series, this is the sixth one. It was once called Prometheus. Simon always tends to have some consistency, so he added a prefix, "Alien: Prometheus". There were five people in the conference, including Simon, as well as producer David giller, signed director Ridley Scott and two screenwriters.

This time we discuss the script.

Simon follows the story framework given by Prometheus in his memory in 2012. However, there are too many areas for improvement in the original story.

For example, in the overly lengthy opening, the engineer aliens took black water and created humans after their bodies split. This plot can be retained as a wedge, but the plot of Elizabeth and other protagonists played by romie lapes exploring ancient human relics and looking for alien traces can be ignored. It is only connected in series through background introduction such as some pictures in the positive film, The specific details can also be extended in the future.

And Meredith, once played by Charlize Theron, has a very impressive opening, which makes people feel that this is either the great hero to save the team at the critical moment, or the ultimate villain of the film. However, the result is that she is quite crushed by an alien spacecraft, dead, dead

Similarly, Meredith's father, who pursued immortality, was so jokingly slapped to death by aliens that he didn't support the plot of the role.

At first glance, ordinary audiences may feel uncomfortable about these, but in Simon's view, the script of Prometheus should have proper arrangements for Meredith and daughter. However, the film from script to image always means too many changes, or insufficient budget, or insufficient creative skills, or in order to reduce the duration. In short, The end result is something that feels awkward.

In the new script, Simon made a great degree of adjustment and directly combined the roles of two female stars, once South African diamond and dragon tattoo girl.

Meredith, with her father's support, led the team to find extraterrestrial relics on earth, so she went further and set out to explore extraterrestrial civilization. What she didn't know was that this was her father's free hand in pursuit of immortality. The team received a special signal before reaching the final goal, the planet where the engineers are located, Landed early on another planet where the engineers' spacecraft crashed.

The story unfolds.

In the end, Meredith's father, who pursues immortality, was misled by the surviving aliens, drank black water and degenerated into the Ultimate Alien villain. Meredith led the team to fight with the villain. Finally, it seemed to win. Before hibernating, he suddenly realized that there was another Bureau behind all this. He always respected the obedient biochemist, David.

But it was too late.

With such a change, some seemingly redundant branch plots will be closed directly. Moreover, deleting branches can also give more lens space to the action thriller tone of this series. Finally, David's blackening, as ever, planted the seeds for a further sequel.

Moreover, there is room for the audience to interpret why the engineers created and destroyed humans, as well as between Meredith and his father, and the common plot of Patricide in Western classical stories. No matter how it is interpreted, compared with the simple horror of the alien series, it can be regarded as injecting some connotation and improving the style of this IP, which is also the goal Simon should pursue from the beginning.

Busy until seven o'clock, return to the Cape dume manor. There are guests today.

Chen Qing came to North America with Xiao Buer. They had dinner together at night and stayed here on weekends.

In fact, not only Chen Qing, but also several Chinese main creators of the Everest team came together today to attend the Oscar ceremony on Sunday.

However, the global box office reached US $243 million, which basically determined the Oscar Award for the best documentary feature film of Mount Everest. Therefore, not only did Mr. Zhang Guoshi, as a producer, spare time from the shooting of the Chuhan trilogy in his busy schedule, but even the president of Vanke Wang, who participated in the original performance, came to join the fun this time.

In addition, as an episode of "Mount Everest", together with "those flowers" on the resumption of the Vimy show last year, it has become one of the most widely sung Chinese songs in the West. This time, it has also received an Oscar invitation for live performance. Of course, it is the result of the slight operation of the producer, but the Oscar organizing committee can agree, which also shows the affirmation of this documentary.

Therefore, although winning the award with documentary makes people feel somewhat strange, and it is not purely made in China, a great battle has been prepared on the other side of the ocean.

By the glass curtain wall of the shell villa, before dinner, I held the little Chen Qing in my arms and said about it. I also mentioned a series of projects being prepared in China.

The first is the trilogy of Chu and Han.

The project started three consecutive films last year. At present, more than half a year has passed. Although there are some twists and turns, for example, the crew had two consecutive accidents when shooting the grand cavalry hedging scene, but everything is going well on the whole.

Chen Qing also mentioned the next Guoshi Zhang. Because of this series, Guoshi Zhang has lost more than ten kilograms in the past six months. The whole person looks more like an old farmer in the northwest.

This time to attend the Academy Awards ceremony in North America, Mr. Zhang planned to come back on Sunday. He was also persuaded by all parties to relax a little and come to Friday in advance. Otherwise, many people are a little worried about whether the other party's body can support all the projects.

Then there are the major projects being prepared by the brocade book department. The first one, "I and my motherland", has started shooting and is expected to be released at the end of the year. However, this is more inclined to test the water once, and the core is the other three, painted skin, Chinatown detective and di Renjie's God is the Dragon King.

It is expected that the earliest shooting will be "Chinatown detective". At present, the script has been basically completed and has entered the stage of casting and scenery.

The other two, because they are ancient costume plays, also involve special effects. The preparation time is longer and the shooting time is uncertain.

In addition to these blockbusters, there is a new documentary project "Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon" followed by Mount Everest. The project is also in the preparatory stage. Jiang MI, the goblin vase next to Simon, and other members expected to participate in the shooting have recently begun to train for the project. In addition, the team has invited a professional geological exploration team to enter the canyon, For the shooting of the documentary.

In the final analysis, this documentary is a show, but it's not a direct rush into it.

Said these are being prepared, followed by Zhou Xingxing's Kung Fu.

The later stage of the project has been steadily advancing. Simon pays close attention to it personally. It doesn't need to be said too much. Anyway, it will not delay the release of this summer. Moreover, in China, considering the time of summer vacation, it will be earlier. The reason why North America is placed in the later stage of summer vacation is also to avoid the competition of mainstream Hollywood blockbusters.

Finally, I also talked about the new year's file that has long been completed in China.

"Do the boss still remember that Ruyi?" Chen Qing mentioned a sentence, saw her boss nod and continued: "it was released on January 28. It was postponed for a month. Just the next few days, the boss guessed the final box office?"

During the conversation, a little bit has been transferred from Chen Qing to Simon's arms.

The little girl who was less than five months old didn't recognize her birth. She sat on her father's lap, which she hadn't seen a few times since she was born. Her beautiful eyes also took the initiative to look up at someone holding her. Although she obviously showed a tendency to return to her mother's arms, Simon didn't let go, but he didn't cry.

Teasing the little guy in his arms, Simon said casually, "260 million?"

Chen Qing paused and said, "do you know?"

"Yes."

Simon has always paid attention to China, not to mention this unexpected super popular new year film. These days, Simon also took time to watch both sides.

It has to be said that the biggest reason for the success of the film, in Simon's view, the key lies in that it is a really excellent film with a fairly perfect and dramatic story, such as the main plot conflict, in which the male and female protagonists are called "Ruyi".

On this basis, the participation of Zhao Heitu and uncle Feng is the icing on the cake.

Chen Qing saw her boss nodding. She probably understood and didn't say any more. She just said, "anyway, China film is happy this time. Together, we are also happy. Everyone is relieved."

Chen Qing's tone was smiling, and Simon certainly understood.

Biological, or the eldest son, if it has not been promising, parents may complain, but more likely, it is to vent their anger.

Now, everyone is happy.
