Chapter 774: A call from Hollywood, Ready Player One is complete"Okay, I see Fok, it took a little longer than I expected."
"NO, Chen, it's all that damn Tsukagoshi Takayuki's fault. If I had known earlier, I would have threatened him directly!"
“Hahaha, but it’s finally done, so it’s a good thing.”
"That's it, get ready to start filming."
"Ok."
Chen An hung up the phone and put it on the table.
"I didn't expect it to be later than Spielberg." He smiled helplessly.
But being late has its advantages as at least you get what you need.
As for casting, only a few main characters are left, but Warner and Sony have been preparing for the filming arrangements.
It is estimated that it will be launched in early spring next year.
Chen An doesn't have to worry about these things, as this was already discussed with the two companies.
Apart from filming, he doesn't interfere with casting, nor does he give anyone the opportunity to interfere.
This time, I didn't even have the chance to secretly learn from others, but it was a lot easier.
Casting in Hollywood is not the director's job.
It is estimated that it won’t be long before Warner and Sony will start announcing the project.
Turning around and looking at the script he was about to submit, Chen An felt that he would be busy next year.
The celebration party for "Parasite" was postponed for a few days.
This is just enough time for Zhang Ruojun and Zhang Songwen who are currently shooting urgently.
The movie was a huge success and press releases for several actors were released, including Zhang Songwen.
Chen An signed him to Light Year Pictures and sent him many press releases. Since he didn't look good, he worked on his acting skills.
This thing was nothing to brag about in the past, but the existence of the so-called "fresh meat" has indeed allowed the older generation of actors with good acting skills to find jobs.
The name 'old drama bones' came into being.
In the past, acting skills were a must, the most basic thing. Without them, you couldn’t make a living. But now it’s different. Good acting skills are also a promotional point.
Smashed a billion ice sculptures.
Zhang Songwen kept refusing: "No, no, no, I really can't take any more. I have to join the crew later and we have to shoot tomorrow."
He covered the wine glass with his hand, refusing others' offer of more wine.
The young man couldn't bear it, Zhang Ruojun's face was already red, and he was bound to have a hangover tomorrow.
Chen An waved his hand, "Okay, I still have to work and shoot for you tomorrow, so you can't get drunk."
He pushed the others down, but Zhang Ruojun looked like he was beyond help.
“How’s the shooting going?”
Zhang Ruojun turned to ask Song Tie while Chen An was in a daze.
She didn't drink much and was in good shape: "The filming should be completed before the New Year, but I'm almost done."
She didn't have many scenes. She joined the crew a little later than Zhang Ruojun and finished filming much earlier.
"Where's Song Wen?"
"Me? I feel good about this. Even though I'm a villain, it's a very interesting role to play."
"Villain? Haha, maybe."
Chen An smiled and said that this was not wrong, but netizens preferred to put themselves in the shoes of the villain.
After the banquet, everyone went home to their mothers, and the media also went back to report on the event.
There is an interesting story circulating on the Internet recently.
Feng Xiaogang's new film "I Am Not Madame Bovary" performed poorly at the box office and suffered a Waterloo.
I don't know why I suddenly got a brain attack and started openly blaming Wanda, thinking that Wanda's less than 10% of the screenings were a blatant targeting them.
The media are also good at fanning the flames. Before the other party names someone, the media will naturally name him.
At present, Mr. Wang has begun to appear in public in a relatively low-key manner, and is still relatively mysterious. He has not officially appeared in front of the media or on any program.
Of course, Mr. Wang would not pay any attention to him, but Mr. Wang, the "Disciplinary Committee of the Entertainment Circle", could not help it.
Directly posted an angry message on Weibo.
Then Wanda, the largest cinema chain in the country, directly removed the film from its shelves, making the already struggling box office of the original version even worse.
Less than a week after its release, the box office dropped to million yuan and refused to go up. After Wanda banned the film, the film's screening schedule was cut all the way to %.
I remember Feng Xiaogang cursed loudly, but it was of no use.
It also gave netizens a good piece of melon.
"Wow, is this the boss?"
"It's so funny, you think it's not enough? Then just don't do it!"
"As expected, those who are in the entertainment industry are not worth mentioning in front of the real big guys. If they say they will ban you, then they will ban you."
"Originally, I watched this movie just for Fan Bingbing. Who would watch this kind of subject matter? Do you really think everyone is Chen An and that they all shoot Parasite? You blame the cinema for the poor box office."
"."
Feng Xiaogang's face was completely shattered by Wang Sicong. Wanda's complete removal of its products was not something the other party could withstand even with a casual wave of the hammer.
This is the ending of the work he directed again after three years.
And everyone also labeled this Young Master Wang as young and energetic.
Not only netizens, but also people in the circle were shocked.
The box office of "I Am Not Madame Bovary" quickly dropped below 10 million in less than two weeks.
Feng Xiaogang, a highly-regarded director in China, did not cause much stir with his work three years later.
In a bright and luxurious room.
Chen An smiled and said, "This is incredible."
Chen An, who came to discuss the release of "Assassin's Blade 2" with Zhang Lin, began by sighing.
Zhang Lin patted his legs helplessly, spread his hands and said: "The young master has given the order, and Wanda should also show his arms to let people see the situation clearly."
Wanda today is no longer what it used to be.
It has been promoted to the largest cinema chain in China, ranking first in the country in terms of the number of cinemas, screens, iMax large screens, etc.!
If someone points a finger at you and says this to you, it will certainly not end well.
Chen An chuckled: "I am smart enough to catch Wanda's express ship."
"Brother, that's not true. Wanda's success is also inseparable from the cooperation of Guangnian."
Chen An continued to smile and did not answer. Wanda’s success had nothing to do with Lightyear.
To quote a wise quote: 'We were champions before you came.'
Similarly, Wanda without Lightyear would still be the same as it is now, just a little faster.
After a joke at the beginning, the two discussed the release of "The Blade of the Assassin 2".
Zhang Lin is more optimistic than Chen An, but Chen An still thinks it’s better to be safe.
Martial arts themes are completely out of fashion now. After being screened in the streaming media era, the reputation of "Knife of the Assassin" is getting better and better.
It's much better than when it was first released, but it's still better to be cautious.
The production cost is less than 60 million, and Chen An thinks it will be no problem to break 200 million, but it is hard to say how much higher it will be.
Although it has gradually gained the title of the last martial arts masterpiece on the Internet, its specific performance still depends on the situation.
After all, this year's Lunar New Year movie season is a mess, with many blockbusters.
"Is that Hollywood project going to be successful?" Zhang Lin suddenly asked.
Chen An nodded: "Brother Zhang is very well-informed. I just received the news not long ago."
"I just happened to know about this because we have some cooperation with Hollywood."
Zhang Lin did not give a direct answer, but just smiled.
Chen An said: "The production cost is estimated to be between million and million, and the bulk of it will be spent on special effects production."
With this kind of subject matter, which is full of Easter eggs and copyrights, the role ratio is actually not important, and it does not require heavyweight actors.
Anyone can do it, as long as they can perform a little.
"Does Xiaotian have a chance? With "The Great Wall" this time, he can probably make it into Hollywood."
"Supporting roles are fine. I will not interfere with the main casting this time. Warner and Sony will take the lead."
When Chen An heard the other party mention the name of "The Great Wall", he held back his laughter.
The other party's title of the queen of bad movies comes from this movie.
