Hollywood legendary director

After a closer look at the 2003 North American year-end list, it is not difficult to find that the so-called sequel movies have already dominated the production theme.

There are 4 in the top ten, and there are 8 in the top 20. After removing the animated films, after the super-English theme, there are only 9 works with individual themes.

You should know that 5 years ago, it was still a world of independent themes. In a blink of an eye, it became a sequel and the overall performance was very good.

It can be seen that the sequel production is the basis for real box office protection. Thanks to the accumulated popularity of the previous games, as long as the quality is slightly better, it can often trigger a good movie viewing trend. The absolute screening advantage is determined from the beginning of the shooting. Theater chains are also more willing to support sequel movies.

This is also a reminder for all Hollywood film makers, that is, how to make the sequel smoothly and maintain quality and quantity.

If you go deeper, in terms of the subject matter of the work, in addition to the steady rise of the Super British market, the low-cost comedy is still not out of date, but the influence of the visual effects blockbusters is gradually increasing.

In other words, in addition to the smoothness of the plot story, movie fans enjoy the visual feast brought by special effects.

"Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", "The Matrix" 2, 3, and even "Terminator 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" are all typical of this type. Those scenes that are so cool that they can never appear in the real world, in Today, with the continuous development of computer technology, the intuitive feeling that the shaped lens picture brings to people is huge.

On the contrary, a crime movie that has never had a box office explosive power suddenly came out with a masterpiece, which is also a highlight of this year.

As for Pixar's group of technical madmen, let's not discuss it. Getting results is what it should be. If one day loses money, that would be a good news topic.

If you continue to subdivide, such top 10 movies cover a variety of genres-magical epic, funny animation, black crime, action science fiction, and family comedy.

Except for the sequel movies, the rest of the genres are not single, they seem to have their own brilliant side.

This also makes people have more expectations and a certain degree of uncertainty for the box office trend in the coming year.

......

of course.

Lyman, who was still hiding on the set and shooting movies, didn't know the hotness of the outside world, even if he knew, he didn't want to bother.

After all, the movie thing, no matter how you predict the market trend, it really won't work, it won't work. Does the rise of the super-British market represent that shooting will definitely make money.

In this way, "Hulk" will not be so miserable, and Li Jiao will not be swept out by Universal, turning around to cooperate with Focus Pictures.

So no matter how much you think about it, it's all for nothing.

For Lehmann, he only needs to make a good movie. As for how, it is a matter of choice between the audience and the market.

The shooting continues.

Because the boxing scenes were all concentrated on filming, only the scenes after the injury of the second half of "Maggie" needed to be resolved.

This is definitely a good thing for the crew. There is no need to switch frequently and waste time in setting up the scene.

Everyone can also shoot more coherently, which is conducive to the excessive emotions of the actors.

As the absolute protagonist in the second half, Hilary Swank is also worthy of the acting prowess of the Oscar queen. From the performance point of view, she can truly integrate into the role.

Although lying on a hospital bed every day and being unable to move for a long time is a torture, but she worked hard and the shooting progress gradually accelerated.

In a flash, time entered the first weekend of January.

The weather in Los Angeles is still a bit cold, and during the intense shooting, some things are destined to disturb Lehman.

On the afternoon of January 6, the agent Johnson called suddenly.

"Lyman, how is your side?"

"Is there a problem?"

No need to say polite words.

"Is such that."

Johnson said on the phone: "Recently, the Golden Globe Awards are about to begin. There have been several nominations for your movie "Bad Guy". It is estimated that the hope of winning is also great. You have to come and participate."

The Golden Globes, known as the weather vane of the Oscars.

It is said that, but its authority has not been high, and it is more of an entertainment value.

As one of the most grand and influential awards in the United States, every year it is held, it almost covers the most popular star and director groups in the film and television fields.

why?

Because nomination is like no money, just sprinkle it.

Compared to Oscars, I seem to prefer to follow the tastes of the mainstream public, that is, whoever has the highest box office and who gives the award.

Then, everyone sits together and divides the fruit. Besides being happy, the ratings are also high, why not do it.

And "Bad Guy" is the third best work of the year, and it will naturally be favored by the jury.

Of course, Lehman couldn't refuse.

He still owes the favor of several judges in it. At the beginning, he was arrogant for him in the selection of the best foreign language figurine. He couldn’t even spare some time to go there. That wouldn’t give the organizing committee face. There is no benefit.

Lehman asked helplessly: "What's the specific time?"

"Specifically the day after tomorrow, the venue is the Chandler Music Hall in downtown Los Angeles. Remember not to be absent."

"Okay, I get it, I will go."

If you go back and forth, it will probably take a day or two. Now that "Million Dollar Baby" has been filmed 4/5 of the scene, there is a little left...

Forget it, just take a vacation and relax the crew for so many days.

The so-called network and influence are really inappropriate if you don't go.

Reading here, he found Ryan and told him about it.

"No problem, I will arrange it properly. I will have a two-day holiday at that time, and I will start work when you come back."

Ryan said with a smile: "The good thing of winning awards is also conducive to opening up the name of our film company."

"Why are you more confident than me? Maybe I'll just accompany you on the run."

"Haha, there are so many nominations, so you have to give one. The National People's Congress came all the way to participate. It was ashamed to let you go back empty-handed. Besides, the box office results are there. Besides the Lord of the Rings, who else can compete?"

That said, "Finding Nemo" is a cartoon after all, and it can't get any awards for live-action movies.

In this way, it really is exactly the same as Ryan said, it is the battle between "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" and "Bad Guy".

Lyman snickered again at the thought of Peter Jackson's chubby appearance.This guy looked at the meat in the beer belly circle, really bluffing, but in actual combat, it was called a bad one. After the celebration party that day, he organized a private party again, and he couldn't even drink Lehman. Also brag about some tumbler, never drunk after drinking.

As a result, a bottle of whiskey could not be finished, and people lay on the ground.

Slag.
