Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 158 Controversy? Inevitable!

Wald Pictures.

The boss Zhu Ke, the vice president of Wald Pictures, Kevin Fitch, the director Zach Schneider, and the main heads of the "300" crew gathered together for the last meeting before the official casting.

"Zach, you are the film director of the film, so let's talk about it first." Zhu Ke said while drinking a cup of tea with wolfberry.

People in middle age have to soak medlar in a thermos.

Okay, although Zhuke is only 21 years old, it is reasonable to say that he has not yet reached the "last resort", but during the two months he has been idle, Zhuke is very absurd, lingering between the bedclothes.No, the health medlar is on the tube.

"Since Mr. Wald has spoken, let me talk about it."

Zach Schneider is not a shy person. He immediately said: "Everyone, with regard to the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", we must first clarify a problem. The Spartan Warriors we shot must never be true The history is the background and premise. Remember, the "300" we shot is just a comic work by comic master Frank Miller."

When the voice fell, everyone present nodded.

Historical stories and comic stories are essentially different!

As far as historical stories are concerned, the war between Sparta and Persians does not actually distinguish between justice and evil. It is a confrontational war between the two forces because of their interests.

however.......

However, in Frank Miller's "300" comics, it follows the basic laws of comics.

There must be a clear distinction between positive and negative characters!

"So, when we filmed this "300 Spartan" movie, we must inevitably portray the Persians into the villain camp, otherwise it would be difficult for the audience to accept it. The plot is simple, crude, and clear. This is the main theme of our filming. ."

Zach Schneider said solemnly.

On this point, Zhuke is extremely in favor.

When Zhuke watched "300 Spartan" in his last life, the overall plot was quite exciting, but the producer has portrayed the Persians as barbarians from another world, the evil evil of backward civilization.In addition, Xerxes, the king of Persia, was also portrayed as a brainless arrogant king who wears no clothes but only a pair of underwear.

Nima, this is simply an insult to the audience's IQ!

"Man, you think about the picture of Emperor Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, Han Wudi Liu Che, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, etc., on the battlefield not wearing military uniforms, but only wearing a pair of underpants..."

"Spicy eyes!"

Throughout the past and present, this is simply impossible.

The monarch of a country wears only a pair of underpants on the battlefield, so shameless?!

At that time, when watching this film, Zhu Ke complained about the setting of the crew more than once.

It stands to reason that Hollywood production companies shouldn't be so stubborn.The film’s director Zach Schneider, even if he is a MV director, shouldn’t make such a low-level mistake, right?

but!

When Zhu Ke traveled through more than two years, he finally understood why the production company and director chose such a mindless setting.

"Old beauty has no culture!"

"The United States and Western countries are engaged in happy education. Under this kind of education system, many social elites are cultivated, but there are more rough men and illiterate people, occupying the main group."

"If you make the plot complicated, how can these rough guys understand?"

"The characters are distinct and the plot is simple and rude, which is the mainstream setting of Hollywood."

"Therefore, according to the setting of the comics, it is necessary to divide the Spartans and Persians into two distinct factions, pros and cons. Otherwise, you can't expect how high the box office can be!"

For a time, Zhu Ke kept sighing in his heart.

Racial discrimination!

That's right, the fact that the two factions of pros and cons are set according to the comics will indeed cause countries in the Middle East and the Middle Eastern groups in the United States to have a great resentment, and even cause resistance.

However, the main audience of the film is ultimately the mainstream movie audience in the United States and the Western world!

Hehe~

Don't look at each of them clamoring for racial equality and opposing racial discrimination. But in fact, when they choose movies, they are natural and natural.

in case......

You shoot a movie with a Middle Eastern group as a positive role. Look at these respectable "equality" people, will you buy tickets to watch the movie?

This group of decent "equality maintenance" people understand "racial equality" and "opposing racial discrimination", which is limited to equality between blacks and whites, and does not include blacks in Africa. As for Asians and Middle Eastern groups, they are definitely not Within the scope of consideration.

In other words, these decent "equality" people are the biggest group of racial discrimination!

"So, how can we not demonize the Persians and emperor Xerxes?"

"How can you attract the attention of mainstream audiences without causing controversy?"

"Therefore, after the film is released, it will inevitably lead to some people's resistance, but their resistance and controversy will make more people buy tickets willingly."

Director Zach Schneider talked eloquently and analyzed the pros and cons before and after.

Kevin Fitch echoed: "Yes. We are a film company, a business organization that needs to make a profit, not a non-profit organization that maintains equality. Our purpose is just to earn more box office."

Zhuke also nodded.

What does racial discrimination have to do with Zucker?

Zhu Ke was a citizen of the Great Heavenly Dynasty in his previous life. Even though he has crossed this life, his red heart has not been reduced much, and he only cares about Chinese Americans in dealing with the issue of "racial discrimination".As for Korean, Japanese, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and even black groups including the United States, Zhu Ke does not care about the racial discrimination they face!

I have to say that Zhu Ke has transformed from a small dick into a qualified capitalist.

.......

In the final stage of the meeting, Kevin Fitch raised a more critical topic.

-Muscle man!

"In order to make "Spartan 300 Warriors" more attractive and more attractive to female audiences, when it comes to casting, whether it is the main male protagonists, supporting roles, and dragon sets, the first thing is to choose those muscles. Men, and they have to highlight the bulkiness of certain key parts while only wearing underpants."

"At the same time, for the number of muscular male actors, we also need a lot, at least 100 to 300 people."

For this problem, everyone proposed two solutions.

First, when choosing a role, focus on actors with explosive muscles;

The second is to train the selected actors for up to 6 months of muscle and physical fitness, and to build muscle men one by one;

"Ha ha!"

At this time, Zhuke, as the boss, laughed at the first moment.

"Guys, don't have to be so troublesome."

Zhu Ke laughed and said: "You are all busy preparing movies recently. You may not know that UPN TV Network is planning to launch a new show in the near future, moving WWE (National Reality Wrestling Entertainment) to UPN's TV platform. A bunch of muscular men, even muscular monsters with outstanding build!"

Zach: "......"

Kevin Fitch: "......"

Including everyone present, they all were taken aback.

They never thought that the problem they were worried about by others would be so simple.After all, it is not easy to find hundreds of muscle monsters with good body and photogenic.

Of course, the main characters of the film cannot rely on these muscle monsters from WWE, but also need professional actors with acting skills.Therefore, the muscle training process for the main actors is still inevitable, but it can save a lot of time and money.

WWE players, except for a few ace star players, the appearance prices of others are not much higher.

save money?

"I am so rich now, why would I still think of these inevitably?" Classmate Zhu Ping was annoyed secretly.
