Hollywood legendary director

"Good wind, with its strength, sent me to Qingyun."

The wind that belongs to Marvel actually has a foundation, so after the "Iron Man" sequel was publicly announced, it was quickly accepted by the market, and the heat was greatly increased. Even the heat of "Terminator 2018" is being released.

Of course, this is the result of many factors working together.

The first is that the Cameron + Schwarzenegger combination no longer takes over the filming of "Terminator". The director Joseph McGinty Niche (representative of "Charlie Girl") and the male protagonist Christian Bell did not take over. Qi, Qian Jing’s lack of optimism began with 13.37 million US dollars on the day of the premiere on Thursday——

In my impression, the level of disappointment with the lineup of such a big cast and the market that was extremely anticipated in advance is almost as disappointing as the release day of the "King Kong" directed by Peter Jackson after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.The same stretch, the higher the same expectation, the more intense the unsatisfied mood will be, and the audience will complain.

So, including Thursday, the total amount of 56.38 million "Terminator 2018" in the first weekend 4 days, the opening scale is still 3,530 theaters and the first share of the schedule, obviously not worthy of this kind of treatment-single The 15,000 hall is a bit short, and the side expression is that the attendance rate is not enough.

Although this is not a shameful figure in the internal comparison of the series, consider inflation and compare the box office results of the old science fiction film "Star Trek" and the failure of "Terminator 2018", which also aimed to "regenerate the series". Already a hundred mouths can't argue.

Warner is bitter, the summer masterpiece messed up, and the investment in funds, schedule resources, publicity and distribution efforts did not get the return they should have, and even cast a greater shadow on the future of the series;

The main creator is bitter, especially Christian Bale is embracing the rescue of this series, broadening the play, and Kingfisher Pictures, one of the investors, has indeed given too much, the management is still taken by his familiar talents, and the results are somewhat Little desolate, far from expected;

Gail-Anne-Hurd is bitter. Although Cameron created the "Terminator" series, the copyright was once in her hands. This was a marriage to Cameron and he also helped Cameron. For the nobles who succeeded, the fourth failed, which undoubtedly greatly reduced the value of the Terminator.

Second, the popularity of Robert Downey Jr. surged after the filming of "Iron Man". After more than a year of fermentation, fans of course want to see him continue to star in Tony Stark. The filming has a high degree of marketability.

All of the above has made a movie that has not yet been released so much and attracted a lot of attention.

It's just that compared to the actions of actors and agencies, Lehman has already waited for the talent he fancyed, Dennis Villeneuve, the best director of the Canadian Mesozoic.

"This is Kevin Fitch, CEO of Marvel Pictures."

"Hello, Director Villeneuve."

"Hello......"

Dennis just received the news and rushed over immediately. He was rather cautious in contact with Lyman and Kevin.

After all, compared to these two, his resume is really not available, and he is also surprised why he was caught up in it, and it is possible to direct such a hit "Iron Man".

Especially with Lyman Jewels in front, if he cannot continue well, the burden and pressure will be heavier. If the second is not good enough, people will not know that the second one is not as dramatic as the first one. I feel that the director is not good-under the premise of substitution.

This situation is particularly common in Hollywood. This scene has just been staged in "Terminator 2018". The main creative team that was compared with it feels embarrassed no matter how it looks, and it also affects the exact personal interests and personal future.

Of course, this is not because Dennis Villeneuve will retreat. As his agent pointed out, as long as the performance of the second part is better than the first part, there are many benefits that can be reaped.

Among other things, as long as he really replaces Lehman as the director of the sequel, and put aside the doubts, at least he will quickly get out of the circle and rise in popularity.

With his fame and his achievements, Hollywood will accept him more and more. It is not to say that he will not encounter any good projects at the end of the year. They are all small-scale works.He has passed those days for too long.

So when they got the script, the three began to discuss the shooting direction. The restrictions on shooting freedom that Lehman and Kevin revealed intentionally or unintentionally could not easily deviate from the rules formulated by the script. Although he himself was awkward, he all silently agreed.

In the past, it was a grass-roots team, and his opinions were what the crew needed to follow the most. Now that it has moved up to major productions, the "rules" must have increased.

He thought, isn't it just about considering the character image and the opinions of the production team when shooting? It seems to be nothing, so Dennis Villeneuve did not show any "dissatisfaction".

Lyman looked a little bit to laugh, but he resisted it.

He must ensure the "harmony" of the crew. The premise is that no one can "confront" Kevin Fitch casually and threaten his authority.

Because Marvel movies are based on the premise of ensuring entertainment, there is no need for the director to be too "active." This is why Lehmann never asks Nolan to shoot, even if Nolan is the only one in the Mann media system that can touch Leh The first person in the position of director Man——

Zha Dao's handling of the story is far less ingenious than Nolan's. On the other hand, Zha Dao's style is more colorful and tempting, but in terms of composition, Nolan is too much stronger.

Apart from other things, Lehman himself can’t match the composition. He is good at handling rhythm and characters. The sense of picture is not rich, and it is generally simple. Unlike Nolan, he can’t wait for every shot to be wrapped in a lot. He has watched too many movies, and my brain is buzzing, and I feel that the CPU is smoking.

As for Wen Ziren, he still has to level up. He lacks a little experience in the production of mainstream commercial blockbusters. He is not mature enough and he is still young. It is the Mexican three Jerry. Alfonso has a very high ceiling and can handle a wider range of dramas. The subject matter, and the other two are seriously biased, the one that cannot be changed has been finalized.

In the office.

Lehman felt like an instructor, who began to make rules at the beginning of the "training."

It wasn't until Dennis left and went back to discuss the schedule and salary with the agent, that he was relieved.

This year, talents are rare.

"Boss?" Kevin was puzzled.

"If you can, keep a better relationship with him for a longer period of time." Lehman replied, without telling Kevin the reason. How can anyone who didn't talk about the future understand.

"By the way, what happened to Captain America?"

"The weekly ranking has dropped to sixth, with 8.66 million US dollars in the account last weekend."

"Really, the level of competition is too high. It was only on the fourth week that the 200 million blockbuster film was squeezed into this. The US team seems to be unable to play, it is really limited by the dramatic conflict. Forget it, just make money, it's better than Warner's," Lehman muttered.
