You don't understand the happiness of the director

"Click, it's done!"

In the last scene, as the sky darkens, Megan Fox drives a Chevrolet SUV and breaks a street sign. The camera shows the street sign, which reads "10 Cloverfield Lane", which brings up the topic.

Turning to the rear of the car, the car drove further and further towards an unknown distance.

As for the Chevrolet SUV, it was implanted.

Big companies are great, and they didn’t forget to include the product during the reshoots. Chevrolet is also the product placement advertiser for the next "Transformers". Letting the heroine of "Transformers" drive a Chevrolet here is also a different kind of interaction.

The heroine Megan got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief. She should be able to sleep peacefully tonight. She gave Wang Quan a complicated look in her heart. From now on, when we meet again, we will just be ordinary friends who have worked together before. The first night I'm afraid it will be difficult to recreate the madness.

This reshoot took three days and shot about eight minutes of footage. The efficiency was much slower than that of the feature film. It also cost 1 million, and the cost also soared significantly.

But for science fiction and special effects, it’s normal to burn money. If he couldn’t even burn 1 million, J.J. wouldn’t even think about recruiting.

When the reshoots were over and after viewing the original footage shot by King Power, J.J., who could find no faults, once again offered to recruit, but this time it was not for himself, but for Paramount and CEO Brad Gray.

Gray, who was newly appointed to Paramount in 2005, is a very skillful person. As soon as he took office, he eliminated many bloated departments and personnel. As a result, many projects were stopped and delayed, so that there were no movies available for release in 2006 and 2007. Very inadequate.

This led to the reboot of the "Mission: Impossible" series and the "Transformers" plan in cooperation with DreamWorks. At the same time, Gray is now in urgent need of talents.

As a lackey in the faction, J.J. feels that Wang Quan is definitely the talent the big boss needs. At least he can shoot things quickly and write things even faster. He also has a comedy script that is coveted by major film companies, which can alleviate the company's distribution shortage a little. of urgent need.

On the way back, the two of them got into a car. J.J. sat next to Wang Quan and had a long chat, "First of all, congratulations on starting a company. This is a good thing, but it is not easy for a small company in Hollywood to survive. How about it? Have you ever thought about being like me?" 's Bad Robot joins the Paramount family."

"Oh, what's the benefit?" Wang Quan knew that it was not a shame to discuss interests directly with the Jews.

"There are so many benefits. Paramount can help you solve most investment problems. You may even have the opportunity to direct Paramount's super blockbuster. As a commercial blockbuster director in his twenties, think about how shocking that is, with hundreds of millions. You will have the financial resources to mobilize, the best male and female stars in Hollywood at your disposal, and the whole of North America will know your name, which is something you will never get in your own company."

King Power, "Like when you directed Mission: Impossible 3?"

"That's right!" J.J. was a little excited when talking about Mission: Impossible 3, which will be released in May. "Although I got a head start on Mission: Impossible 3, Paramount still has many classic blockbuster projects for you to play. Think about it. , maybe you can direct "Top Gun 2", or "Star Trek Part 11", they asked me, or "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", Mr. Spielberg has long wanted to dump it to others, Oh, by the way, there is also "Face", this action movie is so classic, Yusen Wu is from China, but he is old and no longer has the spirit of the past, and you are simply the perfect candidate to take over!"

After he said all that, King Power just asked, "Mr. Abrams, I'd like to know if you have the final cut rights to Mission: Impossible 3?"

This topic made J. J. Abrams' excited expression stiffen. He was originally happy, so why did he talk about this?

He replied, "With Tom Cruise and another producer, I was only responsible for filming."

Wang Quan spread his hands and said, "We in China are a director-centered system, and the director's authority is supreme. If a director has no right to interfere with what his own work will look like in the end, then I would rather make a small-budget film in my own company."

J. J. smiled bitterly, "If you want to have the final say, you may have a chance in twenty years. Young people, don't be too arrogant."

Can you still call yourself a young man if you are not arrogant? Wang Quan said, neither humble nor arrogant, "You can also understand this as persistence in art."

"Okay~" J. J. gave up the lobbying. He was not in a hurry. Young people will naturally know the truth of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade after being beaten several times by society. Do you think my company is not bigger and stronger? Is it because I don't want to? ?

When your company independently completes a movie but fails to distribute it, you will know how cruel Hollywood is.

Although there has been no relationship between studios and theaters since the Paramount Act, things are not that simple.

More than 95% of the North American box office is created by the six major film companies and several major mainstream mini-companies, such as Lionsgate, Weinstein, and Relativity Pictures.

Why is this happening? Because theaters want to make money.

Because several major film studios have the highest quality blockbuster resources, they have the best hope of attracting audiences into theaters. If theaters want these super blockbusters to land in their theaters for the first time, they must work closely with major studios. Put the best schedule, the best events, and the highest quality promotional resources in front of people for them to choose from.

People are eating the leftovers and are too lazy to watch the theater resources. This is the turn of many small film companies to share the food. It is strange that small companies can produce blockbusters.

The car arrived at the apartment opposite the University of Southern California. J. J. put Wang Quan down. J. J.'s man drove Wang Quan's Mazda and wanted to wait for him for a while.

Finally, J. J. said to Wang Quan, "If you encounter any problems with distribution, you can give priority to Paramount. There may be some price reductions, but it is better than losing the film to yourself, what do you think?"

Wang Quan said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Abrams, for the suggestion. Dorothy and I will seriously consider it."

Back in room 1024, the energetic Wang Quan did not rest immediately, but started blogging. Yesterday's blog post had more than 30,000 clicks, and the number of fans also increased to 50,000.

Looking at the comments below, Wu Yangyang is all LSP, and only has eyes for Megan Fox, without even noticing that he is actually warming up for a new work.

Oh, it’s not like no one noticed it. The female fan named “I’m not Liu Yifei” noticed it.

However, after reading her message, Wang Quan broke into a cold sweat!

She, why would she ask if the new work is about "vampires"! ! !

According to the data in the "Film and Television Library", the five Twilight series have grossed more than 3.4 billion U.S. dollars at the global box office, and the derivative value created will only be higher than this!

And compared to those super blockbusters, the investment in this series is not too high.

This is a rare opportunity for the company to rise, and he must seize it. Except for him and Dorothy, no one should know about this plan.

Fortunately, Dorothy has already signed a contract with the author of the original work, otherwise Wang Quan, let alone sleeping, would be eager to fly back to China and find out this netizen who seems to know his little secret!

After thinking about it, Wang Quan replied: No, why do you ask that?

Then Wang Quan started to read the information of this account again and found that she only followed him. In the comment area of ​​the previous article, after he replied to her, "It would be great if you were Liu Yifei," she asked herself, "Do you like Liu Yifei?" ?”

Judging from this tone, are you jealous?

Wang Quan was not familiar with Liu Yifei, but he only remembered that she was very good-looking and could be liked.

But women definitely don’t want to be compared with other women, and even be compared down.

In order to stabilize the female fan's mood, Wang Quan replied against his will: How could I like her? Her face is so round, like a bun, but it's so nice for a big star to leave a message~
