Legendary Hollywood Director

Time flies, it is already the end of March.

Among them, the third screening week of Super Body dropped by 57.6% under the condition that the audience continued to consume, and the account was 12.88 million US dollars over the weekend. The total North American total exceeded 125 million, but the weekly list champion changed hands. It was replaced by the sci-fi film Infinite starring Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, produced by Relativity Entertainment, with an opening weekend of $18.75 million.

On the side of advancing the project, after the efforts of various crew members, the current progress has changed a lot.

The first is Spartan 300 Warriors 2, the post-editing and soundtrack are all completed, just waiting for the schedule and the copy to be in place. According to Liam's release plan, it should be competing for the film market in mid-September;

Thor 2 and Captain America 2, a shooting scene is only a little short of time to the end, and halfway through a shooting stage, the most expensive and time-consuming location transfer can be done immediately, and the two shots that need to be rendered are almost It is handled by the special effects team organized by the digital field immediately after the shooting, and there is no need to worry that the post-production time will miss the initial schedule target;

The Rise of the Planet of the Apes in cooperation with Fox has been successfully launched for a period of time, and the most time spent every day is simulating orangutans and motion capture;

The third part of Batman, which was originally tangled, was most concerned about Warner Bros. Nolan's shooting needs were responsive, whether it was the troublesome real-time shooting or persuading the government, and it was fully staged in Pittsburgh. Street fights (a large part of the thousands of people were cooperating with passers-by), bridge lifting, Warner is actively promoting it. Of course, Nolan is still grinding at this time because of too many real shots, and his dramas are in their infancy after half a year;

The Japanese filming of Godzilla in charge of the top has been completed, and the follow-up is basically to wander around China, Australia, San Francisco and other places. Miracles all belong to the author's films, some of which are initially scheduled, and some continue to be awarded at the film festival.

In short, everything seemed so prosperous.

On the other hand, after Captain America 2 was on the right track, Marvel Studios removed those producers who had already performed tasks, and a small number of management gathered with Kevin Feige to start the adaptation of Guardians of the Galaxy.

This morning, Lehman came back from his visit to take a day off and went directly to the floor of Marvel Studios.

...For the consideration of time and based on everyone's opinions, we have saved a lot of Star-Lord's growth experience.

Well, for the sake of the market, it's right. We can't make a character full of his past growth and his character. It's enough to focus on the main line and implement a big framework. After all, the character Curry also There are thousands of characters waiting for us to package. David Messo, the marketing director of Marvel Entertainment, sat in the conference room and nodded seriously in order to cooperate with the development of the movie business.

What about the assembly of Avengers 2? someone asked.

There are already some ideas that we can prepare for an identity crisis in advance and prepare for a civil war.

If the civil war is too fierce, it will not be conducive to the unity of the entire team, so that the derivatives market will not be easy to sell. Joe Quidal, the creative director of the comics department, was a little worried.

Although the chapter of the civil war is extremely dramatic, if one is not good, the entertainment will be reduced. It is better to continue to pile up the special effects of large scenes, so that the audience can watch it with joy.

It's also a good thing to be deeper. This proves that Marvel is not just producing popcorn, but don't make the mistake of Watchmen. The identity crisis can be described in multiple paragraphs, lengthening the length and enriching the content. Kevin published Said: Such a good theme direction, it's a pity not to dig a little.

All right.

Lyman originally wanted to raise the tone of the entire series. You can find that the theme of the first part of Iron Man developed by Marvel was still relatively large before Di Baobao was acquired. young. Too much, entertainment and depth is what needs to be measured against the direction of each script.

How can a hasty reconciliation be allowed in the major event of the civil war.

In that case, who is the director of the new project of the universe chapter?

I like one. James Gunn, from the Troma label, has written the comedy animation Scooby-Doo and directed the spoof movie Superhero. He is a talent who can write and direct. Kevin has long been looking for , after all, Guardians of the Galaxy is full of comedy, and he must find someone who can make comedy. Besides, he also likes to work with directors who have no qualifications.

Note: Troma Film Company is also known as the B-level film empire. The films produced are all rough, how vulgar, how mad, how disgusting, and fertile ground for newcomers. It can be said that it is an alternative label in Hollywood to train young people who have newly joined the industry with a low budget.

Of course, Lehman has said earlier that he is not good at spoofing comedy genres, and that he does not have much contact with comedy subjects at all. He has no plans to direct the Guardians of the Galaxy series at all. Since Kevin is already looking for a suitable candidate, he naturally supports it.

Anyway, in a production crew, the chief producer and the chief director can reach an agreement, and basically they will not deviate from the direction.

Try to get in touch first, aren't the comedy scenes in the script yet to be formed? Let him try the effect.

It's a very simple thing, so it's settled.

Where's the actor?

Hold the screening requirements to major brokerage companies.

......

James Gunn is a native American filmmaker. He has been in the industry for 14 years. After learning the news of hiring and perfecting the script of Marvel's new drama, he rushed to Burbank immediately, even in order to improve the success rate of getting the director position, He also pulled his younger brother Sean Gunn and came together.

Compared with those geniuses who showed their talents early, James Gunn is still rolling in the independent film circle, making some unqualified works, limited by funds, and rough service is common, but his style is very new. , the topic selection is so bold that he is often criticized by the mainstream cultural circle. For example, he has filmed the soft pornographic Silly Mio and Juliet, just to spoof the attention of classic bloggers. He succeeded, and he was scolded by many film critics as Shakou.

It is normal for such a director with little background to follow the turbulent trend of Hollywood to find a way to play a role. After all, the pride of the times is constantly emerging, and it will be even more difficult to have the opportunity to steer the director, let alone the opportunity to touch the A category. Big production.

There are many people in the circle who are a lot of age, never have a chance, and ended their career as a poor director.

He is 45 years old, how much time does he have to settle?

I have a book here. I want to add some comic color. You can find some settings related to the comics and script, and then try to improve. If there is a chance, I will hire you.

in the office.

Kevin, who was busy with a lot of business, didn't say much politeness at all, and he made a straightforward statement, I've seen some of your movies, so...As long as your plan convinces me, the director will be yours.

I'll do it well. Facing such a pyramid-level character, the two Gunn brothers didn't know what to say, so they could only hold on to the audition opportunity handed to them.

the other side.

After the actor's audition request was released, the first response CAA made a special call to ask for a relationship.

Are you busy? Lyman.

Hi Brian, is something wrong?

What is Marvel trying to do? We have a deep reserve of actors. We can find anything we want. Can we talk more in detail? Brian was a little anxious.

No way, Marvel's play is too flattering.

There's no way to talk about this in detail, Brian, but the packing of the people behind the scenes will definitely give priority to you.

The pattern is broken, and the artists are all in one family. How can Marvel suppress the contract? This is not a matter of friendship.

Of course, although the actors will not be monopolized by any one company, but for the cumbersome and time-intensive tasks such as recruiting, art, lighting, photography, etc., Lehman is willing to package for CAA. After all, CAA can choose from its own customer base. A complete set of teams, one price, simple and convenient, good after-sales, very worry-free.

To tell the truth, CAA is like an intermediary platform. They eat two, and after eating upstream and downstream, they have accumulated a lot of human resources, which means that the chances of getting a job are greatly increased. CAA has meat, and the people behind the scenes can drink it. Soup can't be easily separated from it, so it is so deeply bound that it is also a common thing for CAA to lower prices internally.

The commission is still 3 percent? Ryman asked in a positive tone.

Well... I still think our CAA artists are excellent, I hope you can think about it more. Although he doesn't know the specific role, it does not prevent him from actively fighting for it. Now everyone in the circle knows that it is easier to be famous in the Marvel universe with a villain than the positive characters portrayed in many movies. See what Rocky's Tom Hiddleston has become.

Of course, the 3% commission rate is already a preferential level within CAA's services, and only the six major projects can enjoy it. They generally give other small companies a 9 to 11 percent cut.

The matter was discussed clearly, and after being polite for a while, Lyman hung up the phone.

Other crew members have to be allocated, remember to let WMA follow up. Lehman instructed the executives of Marvel's production department: I don't want a crew to have only one or two factions, pay more attention to this aspect.

Okay, boss. The other party nodded.

Waving him out, assistant Mace walked in.

Boss, President David of Marvel Entertainment wants to hold a more lively celebration banquet to celebrate the next painting of Reunion.

For billions of project outputs, the team members in charge of the operation really deserve a lot of credit. What's his budget?

30 million, he is going to rent a seaside resort hotel and organize a mid-to-high-rise team building for about 5 days to let everyone relax.

I agreed.
