atypical hollywood life

"Audiences come to watch superheroes save the world, not to watch their babbling dramas and romances. Popcorn movies just do what popcorn movies do. Philosophical thinking is not suitable for this kind of movie. Don't waste the audience's movie ticket money, okay?" This was the words used by a famous film critic when he commented on "Thor" at the beginning, but it appeared in everyone's mind at this time.

"I think Mel Gibson is good, at least his track record is much better than Zack Snyder's. If he can make an effective suggestion, it might be a good choice for him to direct this movie." Charles Rowan's voice sounded in the silence.

It's really that they are far behind Marvel's performance, and the style of Diablo is really not easy to learn. Even they themselves can't call the film "Man of Steel" a masterpiece without conscience.At first glance, the logic seems to make sense, but the details are all untenable. Nolan only named a producer in this movie, and the screenwriter has nothing to do with it.This is good—at least the movie doesn’t have such a strong personal style, but it also has a downside. The tone is still set by him, and the director follows his style—it’s a pity that he doesn’t have the talent of Nolan, and the final thing that comes out becomes A four like.

"Actually, George Miller is a good choice, but it's a pity that he's off to make his own movie now." Machel said with a depressed face.

If "Justice League" came out earlier, what would Marvel do? "Superman Returns" really screwed them over.

"Don't mention George Miller, this guy is still angry when he talks about "Justice League" in front of him. Didn't you see that he finally invited Margaret Jane to be the heroine?" A Warner executive couldn't help but Stop complaining.

This guy is much more sensible than Schneider, and the original "Justice League" plan was also very reliable, but he was dragged down by 'Superman'. Unfortunately, the other party has no schedule now, and they can't do anything about it.

"I think Mel Gibson's idea is quite reliable. I don't know if you have noticed, not to mention that the movies directed by this guy have not lost money, they are all big sellers, from dramas to shit movies , He has never missed a shot." Another executive also spoke.

This kind of director is rare in Hollywood, that is, a few top directors can have such achievements, and even if Spielberg has made movies such as "Empire of the Sun" and "Purple Sun", this Mel Gibson is so unscientific, okay?

"And this guy has Australian nationality. If we shoot something in Australia, we will use enough actors, and it will be a great contribution to tax rebates." The production director showed his presence.

Money, this is the most fundamental thing!

"I feel good..."

"That's a good idea..."

"At that time, we will have a meeting to discuss with him..."

The eyes of a bunch of people here are bright, and when it comes to specific interests, even the people who support Zack Schneider are silent. Although everyone usually fights you in the dark, but when their fundamental interests are involved , No one wants to cause the movie to hit the street because of the problem of standing in line.When the box office makes a lot of money, they follow their faces and have money in the bag. They are also the ones who have to bear the consequences if the box office is not ideal. It is not surprising that a movie loses a president. If a project fails and loses money, there is always someone to blame. Candidates.Look at Zack Schneider's thick and terrible script, a bunch of savages have shamefully compromised, and it's true that Hollywood people can't collapse.

So when the movie was well-received and the box office was soaring, these people were really confused.

Really, when Mel Gibson made the film budget, these people were quite skeptical. Looking at the poor figure, they really thought it was a joke. What can such a small amount of money do?

The cost of "Man of Steel" is still 2.25 million, not to mention "Batman v Superman" with more fighting scenes and special effects.Some people even wonder if this guy intends to learn from Zach Snyder and continue to increase costs in the post-production of the film.

However, the logical script and the good performance in the past have convinced the group of executives and producers, and Luke, the actor and part-time producer, is also on his side. Considering the opposite direction, it is very reliable and the film In various aspects of the animated story version of the film, Mel Gibson was finally finalized as the director of the film.

If it doesn't work, there are still a bunch of producers sitting in charge, it can't be worse than "Man of Steel", right?

Not only is it not bad, it is simply good beyond expectations, okay?From audiences to film critics to a bunch of executives of the company, a bunch of people just saw the tragic and epic atmosphere from a popcorn superhero movie, are you fucking kidding me?

After the release of "Batman v Superman", the media fell silent for a moment.

"This style... I really don't know how to describe it." A film critic looked at the video on the screen and held his forehead, not knowing what to say.

Damn, what about the logical confusion and various procrastinations in DC's works that have been agreed since the absence of Nolan?If you come out who said this, I will not beat you to death!And what the hell is this epic atmosphere?Popcorn movie please have a little bit of popcorn movie manners please?What do you do to make those movies that hit the Oscars like this?People also have dignity. Is it really okay to grab a job like this?

And aren't epic movies all outdated?Why is the box office and word-of-mouth of this film still so strong?This is not scientific at all!

A bunch of film critics were screaming for the Statue of Liberty in their hearts. They couldn't believe that Warner Bros., which has always been in chaos, came up with such a movie that didn't fit people. A double harvest.

"What kind of luck is Warner Bros.? Without Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins", they can still pull out a Mel Gibson to continue to make money for them. God is too partial..." [-] Jim Gianopoulos, the boss of Century Fox's picture division, murmured.

Twentieth Century Fox also had a superhero movie released last year, "X-Men: Apocalypse."The current box office of this film is not bad, but it is nothing compared to the bug-level "Batman v Superman".

Think about it, as of the movie's release date, the North American box office of this movie has exceeded [-] million. This is not counting overseas figures, otherwise it would be even more amazing. : Rogue One, okay?

That's Star Wars!With the help of "Star Wars 7", the Star Wars series is conquering cities and territories around the world!What went wrong?

Executives from a bunch of major studios, including Disney, were dumbfounded.

To be honest, the war in the North American film market last year should not be too chaotic. There are many blockbuster films released. There are several Disney animation films alone, occupying several seats in the North American box office rankings, not to mention superheroes. Movies include "Captain America 3" and "Dr. The hot piece "Suicide Squad", and the piles of big IP sequels, "Star Trek 3: Beyond the Stars", "Bourne Shadow 5"...plus two epic IP works, "Planet War: Rogue One" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", who the hell would have thought that the year crown would be a "Batman v Superman" that was not expected from the beginning?

So who is not confused by Warner Bros.?After watching the finished film, they thought it was good, but they didn't expect the final result to be so good!Especially this group of people has always believed in big prices for big productions. Although the production cost of this film is not low, it is really not high compared to the original budget set by Zack Snyder, let alone May Gibson also doesn't have the bad habit of bouncing tickets and adding post-production, which makes Warner executives who are always in an environment where superhero movies frequently appear are a little uncomfortable.

"The decision to choose Mel Gibson was indeed the right decision." A group of people who were at odds with each other had such an idea at the same time.

"How did he do it? I mean, with such a low cost to produce such a blockbuster special effects film, it can still be produced well, making audiences all over the world pay for this film." Watching the movie Finally, someone asked this question.

Special effects can’t be discounted, as much as you want, Damon’s other places should not save too much money. Compared with those extravagant directors, this Mel Gibson is simply a model of saving money, effort and time, just like his The filmed bug movies generally exist.

It feels like the whole person is in a dream.

It's over 14 billion worldwide. This score is almost catching up with "The Avengers", and it's still something they never thought about when the previous work "Man of Steel" didn't do well.At the beginning, I thought it would be good to have a billion, at least to earn back the investment, so that the next "Justice League" can be successfully taken over. Who would have thought that there would be pie in the sky?

"The ability to control the cost and the ability to control the plot of the movie really deserves to be the director who made "Braveheart" and "The Passion of the Christ". I think the next "Justice League" should not have to worry about the results." After a long silence, Kevin Tsuhara, the new CEO of Warner Bros., made the final comment on this moment.

Since he took office, he has been criticized by all walks of life, and he has not had any outstanding achievements. This makes his position extremely difficult, because he really has no confidence.

But now his confidence is coming. The performance of "Superman vs. Batman" is enough to make him look down on the CEOs of many major studios, and there will be "Wonder Woman", "Justice League" and "Batman" in the future With this series of movies, it is conceivable that he will firmly occupy this position for a long time in the future and will not be crowded out by other people who are eyeing him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Luke who recommended Mel Gibson at the beginning. This is really a rare and reliable actor, and he should give him a thumbs up just because of the sharp eyes of the other party. ah! The salary of 2000 million is not bad!

At this time, Luke, a reliable person in the eyes of the CEO, was accompanying Margaret to try on the dress.

"How about this one?" Margaret turned around and asked Luke.

"Um, I think the one just now is better. The blue dress suits your eyes better. Otherwise, the green one is also good. This pink one is not as visually good as the previous ones." Luke touched said with a chin.

Although neither of them was nominated for this year's Oscars, Luke has an invitation to be an award presenter, so he still has to attend.

"Then I'll try again and match the jewelry by the way." After hearing this, Margaret immediately took off the dress on her body.

"If you choose the blue long dress, I think the diamond hair accessories are good. If you are green, I recommend the crystal one..." Margaret is begging for a dress, and Luke is also Pick out jewelry for her.

Just like Margaret likes to dress up her dear, Luke also likes to dress up his baby. Since the two got married, as long as they have time, they will go to various fashion weeks to shop for clothes together, treating each other as Dressed up like a Barbie doll.

Margaret purely likes to make her darling appear handsome in front of everyone every day, but Luke, the usually serious guy, has not so pure purpose, except that he likes to look at his darling every day In addition to wearing the clothes he chose, the so-called men buy clothes for women just to take them off with their own hands, which is carried out incisively and vividly here. The degree of hooliganism really makes most men feel ashamed.

Of course, in the process, Luke, who was originally aesthetically pleasing, was influenced by Margaret for several years, and his vision for women's collocation has also improved a few steps, especially when it comes to Margaret. , It's like sitting on a rocket and ascending, so from this perspective, what he said is right.

"Time flies so fast. It feels like yesterday was the day I won the Oscar. I didn't expect it to be so many years." Margaret sighed while holding the dress.

In a blink of an eye, she's getting old too, Margaret thought as she stepped onto the No.80 [-]th Oscar red carpet.
