Entertainment: I am the Three Beauties of the Green Fairy Sword, Reba, why are you crying?
Chapter 181
《The production cost of”The Hunger Games” is 100 million dollars, and the publicity and promotion is tentatively set at 50 million dollars. This investment volume is not the top category among Hollywood blockbusters.
But thanks to the extremely popular original novel in the past six months, this movie is still very popular around the world.
Otherwise, even if Lionsgate makes an effort, it will be difficult to get the opening film festival of the Cannes Film Festival.
The group went their separate ways after entering the IMAX curtain room in the Film Palace.
Su Cheng and Big Cousin, as the main creative team of”The Hunger Games”, have to communicate with the organizers of Cannes on some work.
Wang Baoqiang looked around curiously.
The entrance of the theater stood with the promotional poster of the movie.
Big Cousin was alone in the C position.
Tiancha was one body behind.
There were some supporting roles behind.
Wang Baoqiang didn’t recognize the American actors very well. He only saw Su Cheng and Liu Yifei in the supporting roles.
He was immediately surprised and said,”Director Su and Liu Yifei also participated in this movie?”
Li An has been in Hollywood for many years and knows more about this.”Yes, it is said that Director Su has modified some of the characters in the original novel.”
There is another sentence he didn’t say.
Fans of the original novel were very dissatisfied with this.
Chief Jia was curious,”Is The Hunger Games a bestseller in North America?”
“Ouzhou has been ranked first on the North American”227″ bestseller list for several months, and its popularity is also good.”
Li An said:”It is much more popular than the”Life of Pi” that I adapted.””
Life of Pi” released last year was Li An’s comeback work.
Before that, he almost couldn’t make it in Hollywood because he messed up”The Hulk”, which cost nearly 150 million US dollars.
But”Life of Pi” was released.
He won the Oscar for Best Director for the second time.
In addition, the global box office of this movie is nearly 600 million US dollars.
It also made him return to the ranks of Hollywood’s top directors!!
Hollywood is a very realistic circle. This is especially true for foreign directors.
If”Life of Pi” fails at the box office again, even if Li An wins the Oscar for Best Director for the second time, it will be useless.
He can only shoot low-cost small productions at most. Don’t even think about investing more than 100 million US dollars in large productions. It is precisely because he knows the”cruelty” of Hollywood that Li An sweats for Su Cheng.
《The total investment in the production and promotion of”The Hunger Games” was 150 million US dollars, which is higher than the 120 million US dollars of”Life of Pi”.
Once the box office fails,
Su Cheng’s halo as a”genius director” will be shattered in half in an instant.
Or even completely shattered.
People love to create gods, but they also love to push gods off the altar.
Chief Jia didn’t know the twists and turns.
He never cared about the box office when making movies. Anyway, he could definitely make a profit by selling overseas copyrights. If he won an award at an international film festival, he could make a lot of money.
Because the investment is small, the pressure is also small.
What he thought was, if I were given 100 million US dollars to make a movie, I don’t know how I can spend it all!!
Learn how Su Cheng spends money!!
Chief Jia stared at the big screen seriously.
He didn’t notice that
Spielberg sat next to Li An at some point.
Li An was surprised.
Spielberg lowered his voice and said,”Mr. Elof is very curious about the quality of The Hunger Games. Let me analyze it from a business perspective.”
Elof is one of the executives of Universal Pictures.
He is an old friend of Spielberg.
Spielberg’s early films with Universal Pictures, such as Jaws,》、《Elof was the producer of”ET the Extraterrestrial”.
Why did Universal pay attention to”The Hunger Games”?
The copyright was in the hands of Lionsgate.
Even if Su Cheng made an excellent film,
Universal Pictures couldn’t get it!!
Spielberg saw Li An’s confusion and explained:”Mr. Elof is very interested in”The Matrix”, the sequel to”Lucy”, but Director Su Cheng’s appetite is too big, so we haven’t been able to reach an agreement.”
Li An understood!
Universal wanted to understand how strong Su Cheng is through”The Hunger Games”.
If he is stronger than expected, they would be more willing to give in the negotiations.
《With the success of Lucy, Universal is definitely not the only Hollywood giant that wants to work with Su Cheng. Relaxing the requirements is just a matter of making more money.
《The Hunger Games is not only about whether Su Cheng can gain a foothold in Hollywood.
It is also about the subsequent production scale and distribution scale of The Matrix, and even the negotiation of copyrights!!
At this time, the big screen in the giant screen hall lit up.
Li An said no more.
He devoted himself to watching the movie…..
《At the opening of”The Hunger Games”, Su Cheng continued the original version and introduced the background of the story through black screen text.
The advantage of doing this is that it is clear at a glance, and even those who can’t read can understand it-because there is narration.
The disadvantage is that the method of processing is too common. Most third-rate websites know how to use it. Some film critics and audiences who bought tickets to watch the premiere with high expectations were disappointed.
For example, Chief Jia frowned.
That’s it?!
I feel like I can shoot it too!!
Only Li An and Spielberg were calm.
The way to simplicity is the best. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Commercial films do not rely on showmanship, but on the picture, special effects, rhythm, and the scheduling of the story.
《Both Avatar and The Ship are ridiculously simple stories.
But it does not affect the two films ranking first and second in the history of global films, nor does it affect Camelot’s becoming the God of Cards.
The more complex the shooting techniques, the higher the threshold for watching the film.
Film is the art of the masses.[]
There are many moviegoers in the world who are illiterate or have limited literacy.
The movie is too high-end.
They will only be confused.
As the movie continues,
Li An and Spielberg’s faces become more serious.
《The story of”The Hunger Games” is not complicated.
It tells the story of the future world. The world based on North America was destroyed in a war. People built a new home, Panem, which has twelve districts and a core capital guarded by the districts.
The capital symbolizes supreme authority. The twelve districts are required to hand over one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 each year to participate in the annual”Hunger Games” for a cruel survival of the fittest. The game is broadcast live on TV, using this terrorist method to maintain authoritarian rule and national order.
The heroine Katniss, played by the eldest cousin, needs to participate in this bloody and cruel hunting game because her sister was chosen as the”tribute” of the new Hunger Games by lottery.
She is well aware of the dangers involved. She took the initiative to participate in it on behalf of her sister.
《The Hunger Games and the later Squidward Frog are both part of the Battle Royale genre.
The inspiration for the Chicken Eating game comes from this……….
This type of movie has been around for a long time. It was first created by the Neon movie”Battle Royale” in 2000 and has been popular ever since.
But many people have made it, but very few have made it well.
The level of director Su Cheng demonstrated in”The Hunger Games” has far exceeded the scope of being good – he is like a perfect rhythm master, accurately grasping the psychology of the audience.
Although it is an extremely simple plot, he uses visual effects, actors’ acting skills, and the coordination of shots to make the audience more and more fascinated and nervous to the point of being unable to breathe. What
Chief Jia used to disdain the most is this kind of simple and crude commercial film.
《Avatar grossed billions of dollars worldwide.
He still thought it was a defense.
But he watched The Hunger Games.
He was fascinated by it without realizing it.
It was not until the end of the movie that he suddenly woke up:
Damn!
This movie is poisonous!!
Then he woke up again:
It was Su Cheng who was poisonous!
The simple plot was filmed to an effect that made people unable to stop!!
No wonder he is called the”King of Commercial Films””！！
《At the end of”The Hunger Games”, both the heroine and the hero managed to survive.
However, their survival broke the rules of the game and challenged the supreme authority symbolized by the capital.
Therefore, the ruler of the capital wanted to kill her…….
The hook of the sequel is very attractive.
The whole film is over.
The audience left reluctantly.
Some audiences who came from China just to see the premiere of”The Hunger Games” were both happy and annoyed.
What was happy was that Su Cheng’s new Hollywood film was better than expected.
Some of them had read the original novel in advance.
The original novel of”The Hunger Games” was highly praised in the United States, but it was far inferior to some of the well-conceived online novels in China.
Everyone was a little worried that the original novel was mediocre and whether Su Cheng’s first Hollywood film would suffer a Waterloo.
Who would have thought that it was wonderful!
The master-level rhythm and lens design saved a mediocre story!
Su Cheng deserves the title of genius director!!
The annoyance was that I really wanted to watch it again, but”The Hunger Games 2.6″ will not be officially released in China until the summer vacation, in early July, more than a month away. The days are like years, and my heart is itching. It’s so uncomfortable!!!
Of course.
There were many discerning film critics in the audience, and they were ready to go back and write articles to criticize the”idiotic plot” of Su Cheng’s Hollywood movie!! The criticisms of a few people will not affect the box office value of a commercial blockbuster.
Spielberg quickly realized that”The Hunger Games” had the potential to be a big hit at the box office. As soon as the movie was over, he sent a message to his old friend, Universal Pictures executive Elof.
There was only one sentence:”Master-level rhythm, a well-deserved film genius.”
After sending the message.
He followed Li An and found Su Cheng in the crowd, and grabbed Su Cheng’s hand,”Director Su Cheng, I wonder if you have seen the”Star Wars” series?”
Su Cheng:”？？？”
Spielberg said solemnly,”My good friend Lucas wants to reboot Star Wars. Please come and direct Star Wars 7! Your level will shock the whole world!”
