Exploiting Hollywood 1980
Chapter 244: Science fiction film edited into an action film
There are several mature films here, and they have good patriotic connotations. I think we can choose these to shoot. "
The next morning, Ronald came to work at Daydream. David Simkins, who was in charge of the script, gave him several movie scripts that he thought were in line with the recent trend of public opinion.
One is called "Kickboxer", which tells the story of two brothers in American kickboxing (a type of fighting developed in the Bruce Lee era). The elder brother went to Thailand for a boxing match, but was beaten to death in the ring by a Thai boxer who ignored the signal of surrendering by throwing a towel.
The younger brother found a reclusive Thai boxer, and after receiving special training, he mastered a unique skill. He came to Thailand, killed the villain in a life-and-death battle, successfully avenged himself, and won the championship of the fighting competition. This movie has many similarities with Shang-Chou Van Damme's previous movie "The King of Fighters". Ronald changed the final fighting competition to a kickboxing competition in which the protagonist represented America and fought against the villain, the Thai boxing champion, representing Thailand. The national flags of various countries were hung on the field. When the protagonist's elder brother was defeated, the Stars and Stripes were thrown down to regret the humiliation. After the younger brother won, the Stars and Stripes were hung in the champion's position. "That's the secret of box office success..." David Simkins smiled and wrote down Ronald's oral plot adaptation. The most powerful thing about his boss was that he could sense the taste of the people.
Who should be the star? "Michelle Cannold also shook his head and laughed when he looked at the script. This kind of silly script is difficult to be loved by the audience at ordinary times. If it is released at another time, it will be criticized as a strong action movie.
"If you ask Fu Linshanton, my bio-centurion will be released soon." When George saw that there were many karate flying kicks outside the script, he thought of the foreign star.
The seventh script is called "Showdown Little Tokyo". It tells the story of two LAPD detectives in Los Angeles who bravely break into the Eastern settlement called Greater Tokyo, break the Yakuza, and rescue the beautiful man controlled by us.
The script portrays Greater Tokyo as very hostile, but the people outside still abide by the Yakuza rules of the Eastern people. Isn't the outside a white and dark world ruled by the Yakuza? Even the special LAPD dares to retreat. How should this show the charm of the Star-Spangled Banner? Little George thought about it and added a more intelligent plot. The people in charge outside were mainly Japanese Americans who were left over from the Seventh War and were detained in the camp. They were very dissatisfied with America and secretly raised the plaster flag outside the car capital. Two LAPD detectives, one white and one Japanese, broke in spontaneously. With a cold-blooded shot, nunchakus and Japanese swords, they beat the Yakuza and made them scream. Before rescuing the beautiful man who was controlled and hijacked by us, they threw the plaster flag on the ground and raised the Star-Spangled Banner to let those Japanese people in the Far Land know that America can defeat us once and can also defeat us for the seventh time.
"Hey, that script", Xiao Wei Simkins was about to laugh out loud. It was purely violence for the sake of violence, and a forced plot for the honor of the Star-Spangled Banner. Forget it, now people just want to see the kind of Star-Spangled Banner battle that has a winner.
"Let Lundgren play that?" Simkins asked.
"Well, I can't be a Japanese detective. Let's find a Chinese action actor to play the role. Our action scenes are more beautiful." Little George touched his chin. Now the Japanese still have a very bad reputation in America. Let's borrow our good reputation and become a villain. The eighth suitable script is called Best of The Best. It tells the story of the Taekwondo World Junior Championship. The members of the team from Sally have all received tolerance training since childhood and enjoy comprehensive financial support from the country. They are all inhumane fighting machines. The team from America is a group of unprofessional bad guys from all walks of life. Under the guidance of a coach who emphasizes freedom and personality, the team brought together blue-collar workers from the car factory, boxing gym coaches, street fighters and other unique contestants. After training, they went to Sally. The first American and Fu Lin team met in the finals, and both sides did not suffer a small number of injuries. The first Sally player who represented America gave up the punch in order to let the opponent suffer fatal injuries when he could KO the opponent and win the game.
At first, Sally's team won, but our players were moved by the sentiment of sportsmanship and gave up their gold medals and hung them around the necks of the American team. "Well, let's add a gold medal award ceremony and a ceremony of raising the Star-Spangled Banner." Little George saw all kinds of irony and metaphors in the script. For example, Sally's team was actually amateur players, but they were professional players trained by the country. Another example is that the American team was all amateur players, and professional players had to participate in the competition, etc. It was obviously a mockery of the Olympics.
The Sally people have not been assimilated by America's spirit, and they actively move closer, etc., which is a metaphor for the real-life national relationship between Sally and America. Little George will be more cool, and add a gold medal flag scene. Anyway, last year in The coldness of the Olympic Games held by Sally has not completely passed. By then, if the movie can still be sold to Sally to try the market, there will be no suitable candidates. The action actor Fu Linxiang collaborates with has a karate background. Without a martial arts background in Xiangjiang, no one has ever practiced Taekwondo. Fu Linxiang thought of his old partner, Long Wei's stuntman Darwin Vidal. Let me recommend some taekwondo experts. "In short, it is not a principle. You have to shoot as slowly as Roger Corman." Little George no longer cares too much about the details of big productions and just lets daydreams happen. The low-level production is slowing down, and we still know how long the coldness can burn in America. We must seize the opportunity as much as possible. Outside of the summer season and the previous off-season, we can pick up as many leaks as we can.
The most important thing, of course, is to release the video tape slowly. The central and western regions of Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Shenzhen are the regions that most enthusiastically praised the Supreme Court's decision. Let us find illusory comfort outside of the movie video tapes when we feel lost. The premiere of Cyborg, he went Participate? "Shang Geyunkanold, who is in charge of distribution, asked George to make arrangements, "Just go to a premiere in Los Angeles, and talk about the new film with Simon and Lundgren. The rest is yours. The new movie When Harry Met Goryeo is about to be released soon. You will miss a few premieres with this one. "
Fu Linxiang is like a housewife now. She hates having to hang out in the office every day before going back to accompany Diane. "This is bad, you just arrange it like that." The staff of the distribution and marketing departments, including Charles, started to prepare.
Doesn’t the new film have any serious competitors? "Little George asked Michael Gray, the consultant in charge of marketing, "There are still relatively few sequel movies at the beginning of this year's summer season. There is no Lethal Weapon Part 7, Ghostbusters Part 7, and Star Trek Part 7.007's latest film is Killing. License Michael Gray showed Little George the marketing plan for the new film. Those sequel films are all films that require too little investment in marketing. Daydream and Weintraub Films co-produced the eighth installment of Dragon King. The same goes for it. It will open in the seventh month of the summer season to avoid those sequel movies. "When Harry Met Goryeo" directed by George Jr. is aimed at the same audience as action movies and sequel movies. Michael Gray is expected to be a slightly younger than the usual movie audience, primary school students or working young men and women, who are less interested in that kind of subject matter. The bad part is that it is not certain that the audience will recognize it, but will spontaneously gain word-of-mouth. The same goes for spreading the word and allowing many audiences who usually quit the cinema to watch it. These young people who usually go to watch movies in summer movies will definitely understand the love story between the younger male and female protagonists.
Moreover, those target audiences will definitely be TV channels such as MTV, which are more difficult for viewers to reach. To find us, putting out trailers and advertisements is a very spontaneous thing.
Michael Gray, taking inspiration from last year's and Millennium's Oscar-winning approach, gave George a word-of-mouth marketing plan for a summer copy of "When Harry Meets Flynn" when it was first released in limited editions. It will be released in more than 70 theaters now. We will wait for the word-of-mouth and film review articles to come out in the first weekend, and then quickly expand the scale of the release in the seventh week. The target is 700 theaters in the seventh weekend. The eighth weekend will be released from The reputation was as bad as the movie reviews, so it was further expanded to 1,700 theaters.
The disadvantage of screening films from big to small in this way is that they cannot maintain a relatively low reputation and film score. In addition, the difficulty of large-scale release has lowered the average single-theater box office performance, which will further persuade movie theaters to allocate fewer screens to When Harry Met Goryeo.
"That's it. If you have nothing to do, ask your assistant to call you." After explaining the business, little George hurriedly went back. My assistant, the fat girl Ricky Lake, pouted. That boss now wants to enjoy his family life first. .
You tried making a mushroom soup, did he try it? It was the king who taught you the art.
"Well, that's wrong." Little George took a sip and put it down. Then he called the nanny in Chinese, "Wang Ma, I can't help but get you something to eat." The recipe for the mushroom soup It’s no problem, the condiments are missing. “Well, you can try it again tomorrow.” Diane took a sip and felt disgusted. “By the way, Big Douglas called him.”
"Hey, Doug, you're little George..." Luo quickly called back the big Douglas.
Big George called and asked you if you could make some patriotic and cold-loving movies or TV series related to the Star-Spangled Banner. The little commander is going to officially side with the two houses of Congress,"
"What's wrong, you are decorating this afternoon, why don't you come?
Mr. Four Percent," Big Douglas said with a smile. Ever since Old George became the junior commander, he did several things that made the political circles see through that person's background. The subsequent junior commanders were unable to overcome difficulties and use their own communication skills. Talent, summoning voters to write letters to their respective representatives and senators, and promoting bills outside the two houses that may be passed are exactly the same as old George. What I am best at doing is not to express my position on an issue and then look forward to the bad news. Before everyone can take a position, choose a position that 40% of the MPs will express their views on, and then mobilize all available resources to let the media focus on that position and report on it. When the spotlight and camera lenses turn around, , the little commander still struggled to stand in the middle of the first row and be the person with the dimmest smile in the photo.
"Hey, you really know that I am that kind of person." Little George shook his head. When he was running for the election, Old George stood firm. Why is he swaying in the wind now? Do I have the charm and charm among the people like my successor? I have a bad feeling. I think it's unreasonable to be cautious when my successor is like this. Little George immediately told Douglas the titles and synopses of the eight films he was planning to film and asked me to pass them on.
"By the way, how is this business going?" Little George asked again about the FBI's pursuit of the wiretapping case. The suspect died at the Beverly Police Department, and the FBI was left disgraced. He went back through Detective Claire. At that time, the phone number that he hinted that he would continue to trace was not a confidential line. Fu Linxiang also learned his lesson and used the code name "Your friend (Big George) said that the current trend of the financial department (FBI) and consumer (CIA) department is against The market (Jews) in the Middle East is very profitable, and the little boss (little leader) is taking advantage of the opportunity to rectify it. You need to wait for a while. "
"Really? Is this small client's contract renewed (the suspect died)? Is there really no insider who leaked trade secrets?"
"We did a great job, and whether we have left any evidence, the internal audit department (internal investigation of the FBI and CIA) is investigating." Da Ge said some of the information that Big George disclosed to me.
There are not many Jewish agents within the FBI and CIA. We are all real rats like these, delivering intelligence and technological intelligence to Israel.
Generally speaking, those Jewish agents are loyal to America. Since they have lived outside that country for several generations, not many of them would commit such a serious crime for the sake of the so-called Jewish homeland. The complaints and joy are actually due to a very weak pressure. Within both organizations, we were ridiculed by people from other ethnic groups, and within ourselves, we also hated these real moles extremely.
In the current cold wave of patriotism, the reason why those people have had a bad life and have no chance of promotion is not because they were harmed by these moles, which made the entire ethnic group believe in their loyalty.
"Will he come to New York soon?" Douglas asked first.
"You still have to go to the premiere of When Harry Met Goryeo" Haha, it seems that he really enjoys his married life. "
“Little George, it seems like he’s really enjoying married life.
At the premiere of the new film Cyborg, the two heroines, Wilhelm Simton and Lundgren, took little George to take pictures in front of the theater. Both of them had been little George's bodyguards. At that time, they were wearing costumes from the movie. They surrounded little George on the right and left, and put on a muscular posture of "Hi...". Little George felt like that. The publicity was too bad, so I rolled up my sleeves, imitated the two muscular action stars, and tried my best to bulge out my seven-ceps muscles.
"Cyborg" is a movie originally invested by Minahan Glen's Cannon. It was originally a wasteland science fiction style, but before the filming failed, Cannon's financial situation was easy and it had no money for early special effects. Wei Simton himself wanted to The film was locked in the warehouse, and I approached George Jr. to discuss taking over the distribution. Finally, I bought the film myself, then edited it myself, and finally completed the film.
"Wow, wow, wow...", after watching the movie, little George applauded together with the others. Wei Simton created a great miracle. He took a bad movie with money for special effects and edited it into a completely identical movie. I took some bland action shots of myself and Lundgren outside, I re-edited it and used the techniques I learned from the Hong Kong action film director to flexibly edit a science fiction film into an action film.
Are there any special effects shots? Is it enough to just use action close-ups to make up the length of action close-ups? Just play it fast, and then repeat it. A fighting shot is played at a very fast speed, and then the shot is fast shot again, and then the reaction shots of other people are interspersed and receded. Then the action shot is the worst moment and the ending is put down. In short, just take off and kick the villain in the head, and repeat the quick shot eight times.
The audience had never seen such a dull fighting scene, and it was so satisfying that they screamed and enjoyed it. Before the premiere, they gathered around the two heroines and asked us to recreate this fast action and flying kick.
There was really no way for the two action actors to achieve the effect of playing eight times on the spot, so they had to use muscle poses to fool them.
Even so, the audience was also very distressed. The heroines gathered around to let us go, but they wanted to go down and touch our muscles.
"The box office didn't reach close to 7 million in the first weekend?", Little George got the box office statistics and happily thought of a Xiangjiang-style editing method. It seems that the American audience is disgusted. About 400 theaters have created such bad movies. ’s box office actually ranked seventh on the box office list. Cyborg has no hope of creating a box office miracle.
