Hollywood legendary director

It was cloudy on January 28.

Kenichiro Tsutsui hurriedly hurried to the headquarters building of Toho Films with a small briefcase and followed two other attendants of the newspaper.

In the temporarily arranged reception venue in the compartment, many media colleagues have been invited.

At this moment, the meeting has not yet started, and each family is making preparations, and only a few staff members on the scene guide the order.

"Did you find out? What news is Toho going to release?"

"Didn't they receive a group of Hollywood filmmakers at the airport a few days ago. Top, Lyman-Last..."

"Oh, remembering. "Pacific Rim"?"

"That's interesting, this reception is worthwhile."

As there are many people, they all eat a bowl of rice, and it is inevitable to exchange opinions with each other.

With his head to ears and noisy, the news officer came to the stage and said a few scenes, the venue was suddenly quieter.

At 10 o'clock, Lyman and Top followed Dong Bao's people on stage.

I saw him sitting still on stage, a row of microphones, and an interpreter behind him.

Of course, the protagonist is not him, he is only responsible for nodding.

Just as WanD wants to break into Hollywood, Toho would definitely be willing to release this good news.

As an extra note, most of the films exported by Toho are represented by Warner in the US market, not by the Japanese label of Columbia. In fact, the powerful Japanese filmmakers are really not close to Sony. , Even from the same line of phase, they are more cruel to compete. After all, manufacturers like Warner do not regard the Japanese market as their main base, and only some imported films directly compete with them, and most of the imported films are agents It was made by their local label.

What does this belong to?Interest issues.

Back to the press conference, Toho’s propaganda officer reviewed the 480 million box office of "Pacific Rim" internationally, boasting that the various achievements of the film are inseparable from Toho’s participation, and then began to turn to the sequel to the series. .

"...There has been a lot of news recently, and I can receive interview invitations from reporters and friends every day. We simply arrange a press conference to have a good chat about the movie "Godzilla" that is the same as "Pacific Rim"."

As soon as the title came out, there was enough content to reveal, and the reporters and the media underneath were surging, and they all felt there was an explosion.

This is also normal, Godzilla, was originally the iconic monster in the field of special photography in Japan.

"What's the budget for the work, please?"

"Will we invite our local outstanding actors to participate?"

"Do you have the confidence to show positive Japanese elements in front of audiences around the world?"

"Is it still directed by the top?"

"Okay, okay, let me talk about it first." The propaganda officer pressed his hands down, and said in no hurry: "The script has been confirmed and it is scheduled to be released in September or October. The original production team such as Gyro will be responsible for the shooting. Bao, Huayi, and Bona have assembled outstanding people from the three places to create it. As for actors, we will definitely find our own actors to take on certain roles..."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience raised their hands.

"Will it be the protagonist?"

"Do you have any favors?"

Through the propaganda officer at the bottom, he said in advance: “I’m sure I won’t fool the audience with some showy shots. If the investment budget is not lower than the first one, it can be on par with 200 million US dollars.”

"But the main investor in this series is Firefly, and Dongbao does not occupy much share." Some reporters questioned.

"There is no doubt that Hollywood is the center of the world's film market. They have enough industrial foundations to shoot more magnificent special effects masterpieces. We authorized the image of monsters to cooperate in shooting, which is one of the attempts. Internationalization can make us Cultural elements go further and have more influence in the world, not just local."

Compared with the euphemism of the propaganda officer, a senior at Toho was even more outspoken, "We have made more than 20 versions of the "Godzilla" movie of the same name. The relatively small geographic market makes the Godzilla series not attractive at the box office. Its value is also declining, and we hope to expand the spread of radiation through cooperation with Hollywood."

Speaking of which, Toho does not particularly care about the investment share. The Japanese distribution rights for the entire series are in their hands.For them, derivatives and surrounding money are not good, not to mention that Firefly bears the most investment risk. It is normal for them to divide the box office into the industry. They can't let people promote part-time jobs for free.

"Okay, let's go here, thank you friends from reporters." A reminder came from the headset, and the propaganda officer finished quickly.

Talking about it, Firefly feels that Japan is not welcoming them. Dongbao doesn't want to offend such a studio that has the ability to monetize and increase the value of characters.

"..."

The venue was noisy, people left, but the media was boiling like boiling water. While recording, they contacted the editor-in-chief.

The news spread, naturally harvesting more than a piece of attention, but Lehman was ready to go back.

......

I had breakfast the next morning.

People from Dongbao greeted each other and went to a reception room.

"Minister, the actors are here."

"All come in."

Hulala came in a lot of people, all of them have something to do with Dongbao.

After all, there are so many actors who have roles. Lehman doesn’t shoot "Godzilla" like the legendary film industry in the past. As a result, most of the perspective is on the actors, and there are very few fighting scenes-Godzilla and It’s not 35 minutes since Mutto’s battle is general, holding Jinshan in his hand and not knowing it. Even the holster shot in Japan, "Godzilla", everyone knows that highlights the destructive power of monsters and the weakness of humans in front of monsters. Only the United States. This arrogant talent will show off equipment.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the 2014 version of the virtual monster, Godzilla, under the mature Hollywood film industry level, it’s very exquisite, and it's already on the street, and it can get 500 million box office worldwide?

Anyway, it is impossible for Lyman to play a movie named after Godzilla. The protagonist plays less time in the whole movie than the villain Muto, and his sense of existence barely passes.

"...This is Ken Watanabe, a very capable actor."

The people of Dongbao introduced enthusiastically.

Of course, Ken Watanabe, a familiar face in Hollywood, "The Last Samurai", "The Mystery of Chivalry", "Inception", Nolan finds his partner whenever he has a Japanese role.

"He played the role of the director of the consortium who advocated giant beasts and spied wormholes in the script."

Ken Watanabe bowed and saluted.

Lehman and the top looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

As for the rest, Dongbao did not actively recommend it.

It’s just that it’s nothing more than an important role for the powerful, and the role that is responsible for showing up and attracting attention is for the handsome or beautiful. Generally speaking, Hollywood blockbusters are in this kind of match, and the top is that no matter who is in the play, he only misses him. Godzilla vs. Motto, the concept map has been drawn in several versions...
