Head to head Hollywood 884 author Qian Duxue full text 3614 words

Head-to-head with Chapter 884 of the Hollywood Body Volume, the time has flickered, and September has entered. A lot has happened in America during this time. The first is politics, with presidential candidates from both parties embarking on a state-by-state speech tour. Without the negative news of "Fahrenheit 9/11", President Bush's re-election voice is very high. In particular, he expressed confidence in revitalizing the U.S. economy in the next term through South Korea's concession on the TO Free Trade Agreement. However, the things negotiated between MPAA and the Korea Revitalization Committee have not been able to continue Jack Valenti's political life, and he has officially left the MPAA chairmanship. He was replaced... by Dan Glickman, the secretary of the Department of Agriculture, a direct cadre of President Bush Jr.! The United States is the world's largest agricultural country, and the power of the Minister of Agriculture is huge, one can imagine. President Bush will assign the Secretary of Agriculture to the position of MPAA chairman, which shows how much he attaches great importance to Hollywood! However, the replacement of MPAA is not the most sensational thing in the entertainment circle. The disintegration of Viacom and the disintegration of Paramount are the first big news! As Dunn had previously obtained inside information, CBS Group spun off from Viacom Group, taking away Paramount's TV production department and all TV content rights. Paramount's label name and film production department are still affiliated with Viacom. At that time, Megatron Hollywood even aroused the fear of the highest level, and Paramount Pictures, which was restricted by the "Paramount Monopoly Act", announced the collapse! It's an MGM-style road of no return. It's not just Viacom that's split, it's also DreamWorks! This summer, DreamWorks' animated film "Shrek 2" swept the world, with a global box office of more than 920 million US dollars, second only to the super commercial blockbuster "Pirates League 2: Gathering Souls". However, DreamWorks' live-action movies are too watery. This year, DreamWorks has released 5 live-action films, including "Idol's Date", "European Sex Travel", "Ultimate Target", "Happy Terminal" and "Ace Announcer". The first three lost money, and although the latter two made money, they fell short of expectations. In particular, Spielberg's "Happy Terminal" starring Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones seems to be silent in the summer commercial blockbuster. There is no such thing as the last ten years, when Spielberg's film is released, it must be a shocking effect in the United States. In the film circle, there seems to be a rumor that Spielberg is out of breath. Spielberg, of course, was not convinced. He was gathering people and even found the action superstar Tom Cruise to join forces and plan to make a heavyweight sci-fi action blockbuster "War of the Worlds"! He's also going to be a billion dollar box office director! He wants to save his reputation! However, the separation of DreamWorks has become imperative. The animation department of DreamWorks is getting better and better, but the live-action movies are not getting any better, which makes the animation department very dissatisfied, and they don’t want to carry any more burdens. Jeffrey Katzenberg is the chairman and CEO of DreamWorks. He has been in business for ten years and led DreamWorks to survive in the cracks. He has long lost the spirit of the year, and the dream of an entertainment empire... shattered. Simply split up. The live-action film department and the animation department are now separated! The animation department is headed by Jeffrey Katzenberg, and the live-action department is led by Spielberg. Because the performance of the animation department is better, the label of "DreamWorks" belongs to the animation department. However, the label name can be rented to the live-action film division for free and indefinitely. Since then, there have been two DreamWorks in Hollywood. One is DreamWorks Animation and the other is the titular DreamWorks. In addition, the vibration of the sports arena is not small. The gymnastics association is filing for bankruptcy. In the Athens Olympic Games, every time an athlete won an award, when interviewed by a media reporter, Dunn Walker's name would be on the list of thanks. It may be restricted by the sports association, and they did not explain the reason. But everyone actually knew in their hearts that when Tang En exposed the sexual assault scandal in the gymnastics industry, he was pulling the fig leaf of the sports world. The sports circle, especially some non-market niche circles, is full of scandals. Much uglier than Hollywood. Tang En's righteous deeds may not completely improve the situation, but at least it can give young athletes a better training environment and greatly increase the cost of illegality for many people. At this time, Tang En was still filming. After moving to New York, Atlanta, and Cleveland, the crew finally returned to Los Angeles. The live-action part of "The Avengers" is coming to an end. Try to finish before September 20. The movie "The Departed" starring Dunn will be released on September 25. As a core actor, Tang En is not too careless, and it is necessary to participate in some early publicity to build momentum for the movie. Including Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cate Blanchett, Mark Wahlberg and others, must actively participate in the pre-publicity. Tang En, the chief producer and investor, doesn't appear, and it doesn't look good in face. ... "The speeding car scene...is it really necessary?" Timo Bekmanbetov frowned, skeptical about the next shooting plan. The next scene is not the soaring sky of "Iron Man", the swing of "Spider-Man", the bright muscles of "Hulk", the power of thunder and lightning of "Thor"... but "Ant-Man" and A drag racing scene from "The Wasp". The setting in the movie is: At the last moment, the streets of New York were chaotic. "Ant-Man" and "Wasp" actively participated in the war, and they staged a good show of speeding cars, which also included violent scenes of explosions. In the opinion of Timo Bekmanbetov, "The Avengers" is an imaginative sci-fi movie, and the elements in the movie are very innovative. In comparison, the speeding car scene... is too traditional and old-fashioned. Not as fun as Ant-Man and The Wasp getting bigger and smaller. Nina Jacobson glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is Hollywood! Even Dunn should pay attention to the taste of the market." "What do you mean?" "Every year, Hollywood conducts a large number of markets. Survey to evaluate and judge the tastes of movie fans. Then adjust the production style of the film according to their tastes. In the past few years, there is a very important data, the excitement of teenagers for speeding cars has always been at the top of the list of commercial film elements! Even more than 20 million The big stars of the Dollar Club are even more attractive." "Huh? Is that so?" Timo Bekmanbetov froze for a moment. I feel like I have learned a lot. In the past, when he made movies, he made his own movies completely. His confident and excellent movies will never lack fans to pay for them. It was only when he arrived in Hollywood that he realized that his film philosophy was completely reversed. A movie that can make fans pay for it is a good movie. In this case, it is natural to shoot those content that attracts the attention of fans. That's the essence of Hollywood popcorn movies. Nina Jacobson explained a few more words: "A commercial blockbuster, especially an action film, if you don't arrange a few minutes of car chase scenes, it will be difficult to whet the appetite of young audiences, who are the most reliant on the film market. Don't say "The Avengers", you look at "Star Wars Prequel", don't you have a drag racing scene?" "But why are you here?" Timo Bekmanbetov looked at it blankly. The surrounding environment, nodded and shook his head again. It is close to the Gold Coast and has the most beautiful sea view in Los Angeles. However, this is completely inconsistent with the setting of the movie. The speeding scene in the movie requires the chaotic scene on the streets of New York. It's too deserted here, isn't it? Nina Jacobson pointed to the front right, "Did you see that tower?" "Yeah." In the distance, there were a lot of trees blocking it, but the towering spire was exceptional. Obviously, kind of like the navigation lights on the coast here. "That's Dunn's home, King's Landing No. 1 Manor." "Huh?" Timo Bekmanbetov was stunned for a second, and continued to be stunned. Nina Jacobson explained with a smile: "To shoot road scenes, especially those involving crashing and breaking roads, is very troublesome and has a lot of extra expenses. You have to apply to the local government, you have to apply for funding, and you have to There are traffic control funds, road maintenance fees, subsidy fees for maintaining order police, and damage fees for disrupting the lives of residents. All kinds of external expenses are higher than the cost of filming!" Timo Beckmanbey Tove suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that the speeding scenes in American movies and TV series are mostly filmed in deserts, fields, ports, abandoned industrial areas, etc. This is the reason!" It is not necessary in Russia. Movies are emperors. The government, institutions, and ordinary people~www.novelbuddy.com~ must all give way! Nina Jacobson said: "Yeah, even if this scene was shot on the streets of Cleveland, it would cost an extra $5 million, which is too wasteful. It's better than this, it's better to compose the scene." Although the place is empty ,But it's alright. The main thing is to catch the camera that is afraid of the speeding car. As for those high-rise buildings and busy New York traffic, you can wait until next year's green screen cutout and post-compositing. "Is this road newly built? This specification is better than the highway. Do you need to apply to the government for filming here? In case the road is damaged..." Timo Bekmanbetov immediately appeared the next doubt. Nina Jacobson smiled and pointed in the direction of the spire in the distance, "Didn't I tell you, it's Dunn's home." "Are the two related?" "Why doesn't it matter? "What's the matter?" Nina Jacobson said: "Before, there was just an empty land, and there was no road. This 10-kilometer-long expressway was used by Dunn for the convenience of returning home. He paid for it." "What? He built a highway?" Timo Bekmanbetov opened his eyes suddenly, rolled his eyes, and nearly fainted. How much will this cost? He is indeed the richest man in the world! Rich and powerful! Nina Jacobson gave him a strange look, "This is normal, American roads... A large part of the roads are built by individuals, and the government has no obligation to help those rich people who like to live in the suburbs to build roads. Besides. Well, it’s just road building, how much does it cost? When Warners was filming The Matrix, they built a 2-kilometer highway to film a fight scene on the highway, and then donated it to the government.” Teemo Bekmanbetov twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling that he had a new understanding of Hollywood.
