Chapter 692： The most touching or the girl

Entering November, the Hollywood awards season and the traditional Thanksgiving Christmas stalls are getting closer and closer. The films released include not only literary and artistic films that go straight to the awards, but also mainstream commercial films. Almost every weekend, Swiss En can see the vaguely impressive movies landed on North American theaters.

At a time when traditional forces such as Paramount, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century Fox are getting closer to the release label route, various companies under the Disney Group, including Disney Pictures and Touchstone Pictures, have maintained a high level of film production. Production, in the popular seasons of recent years, you can always see many big-selling movies produced by Disney subsidiaries and released by other Disney labels.

This schedule is no exception. After the release of a series of horror films produced by Jenkins Pictures in September and October, Disney launched the first mainstream commercial production of this schedule-"Hurricane Rescue" in early November.

Traditional action movies have long since fallen. Such a film with a production cost of only 25 million US dollars does not seem to have any special features, especially when compared with the big-selling action movies, the protagonist’s evil opponents are too weak and weak. It is not a threat at all, it is almost as easy as being cut by the protagonist.

However, the film firmly captures the most touching affection in North America and the whole world. Although there will not be such a skilled father in reality, the greatness of paternal love is fully revealed through the film.

A father who was angered by human traffickers, in order to rescue his kidnapped daughter, he did not hesitate to pay any price. It can be said that the gods block and kill the gods, the Buddha blocks and kill the Buddha, and he slaughters one bad guy after another.

The audience will not gush out any humanitarian compassion, and they completely forget that these slaughtered people also have wives, children, and children. The dad of the agent is full of anger and vents to the businessmen who treat the auction women purely as breadwinners. Three shots will only make people feel happy!

Even if this is an action movie, the pg-13 classification and the theme expressed in the movie are very suitable for the whole family to watch, especially teenage girls and their fathers.

In the words of the Los Angeles Times after the premiere, this is a film that is suitable and must be shown to all beautiful middle school students.

Although the film is not very entertained by film critics, it has aroused quite a lively discussion among the public, especially on several famous film forums, where you can see good sensory comments from ordinary audiences on this film.

"This story tells us that young girls shouldn't get into a handsome guy's car lightly."

"The film is very compact and wonderful, there is no nonsense, but the pure love of father and daughter is touching."

"Dad... what a magical existence father is to the daughters."

"The story is very compelling, the rhythm is very tight, this kind of short and powerful action movie is really beautiful."

"A dad who has given birth to a little beauty needs to have various skills such as bodyguards, secret agents, detectives, free combat, high-speed obstacle driving, medical rescue, drug rehabilitation, strike-up and bargaining with women, fake certificates, car theft..."

Of course, some people inevitably expressed doubts about Scarlett Johansson, who played her daughter.

"The black widow in "Captain America" ​​has become a weak girl who needs to be rescued. It always feels weird."

However, now Black Widow is just a cameo role in the Marvel movie, and has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This influence is not significant.

Compared with Disney’s total investment of only more than 50 million US dollars, the film’s first week of box office can be described as a big success. It took 41.3 million US dollars in the box office of more than 3850 theaters in the three days of the weekend. It only took ten days. The film’s North American box office exceeded 80 million U.S. dollars, and judging from the box office trend, the final North American box office is even expected to exceed 150 million U.S. dollars.

This is a small box office miracle now that traditional action movies have fallen.

"So, girls are the most attractive."

Sitting in the car heading to San Francisco, Ryan and Charlize next to him were discussing the movie released some time ago, "A beautiful girl can overturn a city and cause a war."

"You are not twenty-six years old yet?"

Charlize tilted his head and looked at him strangely, "Is there a Lolita complex now?"

"Or..." A dangerous light flashed in the eyes of the South African Diamond, "Which girl did you see?"

"Hey, dear." Ryan spread his hands dissatisfied, "I just sent it out of feeling."

"I know." Charlize deliberately showed a clear look. "You are going to be a father. There will definitely be many feelings."

After returning from Paris to Los Angeles, Charlize, although not as sharp as Natalie’s performance, occasionally raised this topic, Ryan can only try to reassure people, after all, people are not puppets, and the human heart is also the most difficult to measure in the world. thing.

The black Rolls-Royce turned around San Francisco Bay and finally stopped in front of the Letterman Digital Art Center, where the famous Industrial Light and Magic was located.

Ryan was invited by Michael Bay. After two months of hard work, the special effects team of Boom Shell and Industrial Light and Magic successfully created the same scale model and scaled down of Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus Prime. Models. Although the robots in the film will be made using cg, they are just like Iron Man’s suits. Models are also indispensable for shooting.

"Hi, Michael."

As soon as he walked into the huge factory building of Industrial Light and Magic, Ryan saw Michael Bay and others standing in front of several model robots. After greeted the people approaching one by one, he met with George Luca at the end. Si gave a light hug.

"George, you look a lot fatter."

"Because I don't have to worry about whether the movie will sell out." George Lucas beckoned to Charlize on the other side, "Hey, Charlie, I heard that your costumes and sweets are very popular."

"It's okay." Charlize gently shook the hand that George Lucas stretched over.

She knew her position very well, but stood aside with Ryan on her arm and rarely spoke.

"This is the final sample that incorporates Hasbro's opinions."

Everyone walked under the huge robot model. Michael Bay gave a brief introduction, "If you have no objection, Ryan, future shooting, cg production and derivative manufacturing will use these models as basic templates."

Although it is the first time to see the real object, the electronic images of Autobots and Decepticons have been passed to him long ago, and Ryan also agreed to these designs. Generally speaking, there is not much difference from the shape of the previous life, such as The bumblebee with puppy-like eyes and the blue-red Optimus Prime.

In other words, it is certain to destroy some people's childhood memories.

However, changing the image in cartoons is a necessary choice. Times are changing, and movies must change accordingly.

"About the Transformers battle scene, we have reached an agreement."

Levin Brightman, the person in charge of Industrial Light and Magic, talked about the progress of the special effects work, "After the robot completes the final computer design, the special effects work can start. We will synchronize with the filming of the film. The special effects team Part of the staff will also participate in the filming of the film."

Nodded, Ryan looked at Michael Bay again, "How was my last proposal considered?"

"I got through with Levin." Michael Bay waited for Levin Brightman on the other side and nodded and said, "Some scenes of the film are made with imax3d technology, which will definitely enhance the visual impact, but the production cost of the film It will definitely exceed 150 million U.S. dollars."

He said cautiously, "Ryan, I need at least 20 million dollars."

"These are not problems." Ryan waved his hand. "There will be advertisers paying for us."

This is not an exaggeration. Many sponsorship contracts have been signed during the film's preparation period. There are more than 20 advertisers ranging from beer, mobile phones, beverages, chewing gum to computers, cars, trucks, and department stores.

Especially the Autobots, who are the absolute protagonists, are the focus of competition among automakers.

In the end, General Motors packaged Ironhide, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and two other deceptive robots with a $20 million advertising fee, involving several brands such as its Chevrolet, and will provide 300 vehicles for the crew. Shots of old GM cars and empty shell cars.

Lamborghini won a sponsorship contract for several other robots such as the Jazz, and will also provide models of sports cars for destruction, for which it also paid $10 million in advertising fees.

In addition, a small business jet was added to the Decepticons' robots. Gulfstream took the initiative to take out a $8 million sponsorship contract. The Autobot studio will certainly not refuse.

As eBay and Google, which will frequently appear in the film, the studio also received a total of $6 million in advertising fees from them.

In fact, the film has not yet started. With the title of commercial production led by Ryan, the Autobot studio has recovered close to 60 million U.S. dollars just by implanting advertising. Disney, as a ** investor, is not under pressure. , It’s not difficult to get another 20 million dollars out.

Moreover, there are new sponsorship contracts and pre-sale negotiations underway.

Of course, Ryan has repeatedly reminded Michael Bay to pay attention to the way and method of ad placement, not to be as simple, crude, and direct as the later parts of the previous life.

In other words, this is a large advertising campaign full of visual impact. The main publicity objects are naturally Autobots and Decepticons. Their toy models and various other derivatives are the profit of the film. the key of.

When leaving the huge factory building, Michael Bella gave Ryan a look and he fell to the back of the team, obviously there was something to say.

"Ryan, can you make a request?"

Compared to the past, after experiencing the failure of "Escape from the Island of Clone", Bangbei is obviously more humble, "About the actors."

Ryan made a please gesture.

"I watched the auditions of Zac Efron and Alexandra Ambrosio."

Michael Bay is talking about the tentative film hero and heroine, "I don’t think Zac Efron is suitable for the actor, he is much shorter than Ambrosio, and his aura in the camera is too weak. It was completely suppressed by Alexandra Ambrosio."

"What about your suggestion?" Ryan thought for a moment. Zach Efron was a small star in his previous life, and he is just a small actor signed by Disney in this life, and he has almost no impression.

"Change to a more appealing actor." r1152
