Now I want to be a good person - Chapter 642
Liang Kun consolidated his position in Hollywood and had another box office reputation!
The audience all have habitual thinking. Liang Kun has been successful. As long as the reputation of the film is not too bad, people are willing to watch it in the cinema. “Man of steel” exploded, and “chase 2” can also benefit when it is released.
Zach Schneider can’t. The word-of-mouth of these films is too bad. Even the films that make money don’t have a good word-of-mouth.
Liang Kun’s great success means that Zach will be completely abandoned by Warner. Zach will not participate in any DC film, whether as a director or producer. It will be difficult for him to invest in making blockbusters from Warner in the future.
Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing the goods.
Zach’s new film “the beautiful girl secret service” released in April this year has hit the street with box office reputation and three films in a row.
After watching the finished film of the beautiful girl secret service, Warner had to publicize the depth and brain burning of the film again, fooling those audiences who gained a sense of superiority by “I can understand the film” into the cinema.
Some people are quite individual and think that Zach’s bad films must be brushed several times before they can be understood, so they are masterpieces. In fact, they are idle. Most of the audience want to sleep after watching Zadao’s film. The story is in the clouds. Inception is badly filmed, which is probably like the beautiful girl secret service.
Sure enough, after the film was released, the box office was not as good as the comedy “little boy’s Diary 2”, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 21%. The film opened at the box office of 19 million in North America and ended at the box office of 36 million. Except for the first three days, almost no one entered the cinema, and the reputation collapsed.
The production cost of Zach’s film is as high as US $82 million, plus the publicity cost of US $20 million, with a total investment of more than US $100 million. Warner’s boss, even his father, will complain. He can’t even get back his hair from investing in his films.
Someone on the Internet commented that “the director made a Spartan 300 AV worker of the catcher”.
Another film critic said: “the director should be ashamed of his kindergarten level imagination, not self righteous show off”.
Generally speaking, almost all the films Zach took over were commercial cool films. However, he doesn’t play step by step in the cool film type. He likes to show off his skills, add strong personal style, and then make the film cool.
And he seems uncompromising in every film. Some film clips are really wonderful, but the film as a whole can’t. Film critics are also very helpless. How can they praise this product?
Director Martin Campbell is still within the scope of Warner’s investigation, but he doesn’t want him to make the green lantern, but the flash film.
After the box office success of “the man of steel”, Warner executives began to consider speeding up the progress, allowing other superheroes to appear on the big screen as soon as possible and form a “justice alliance”.
Liang Kun went to Warner to hold a high-level meeting to discuss the plan of the next DC blockbuster.
Warner’s DC opening film, Thor and Captain America, broke at the box office. We still have to speed up the shooting progress.
Next year, Marvel’s “Avengers alliance” will be released. The other party is “Avengers assembly”, and Superman is filmed in DC.
Greg brandy wrote the first draft of the flash movie script, which was read by the senior management of Warner, and Liang Kun was no exception. He feels familiar. The plot is like a simplified version of the TV series flash Season 1, which tells the origin of flash.
There is a serious problem with the script. The villain is the famous “counter lightning”. Barry Allen became a flash man and had to have a positive PK with the counter lightning in more than two hours, and he won, not in the way of “counter lightning, I came to negotiate with you”.
Superman defeated Zod in a positive PK. The audience was not surprised because he was Superman. But “flash man”, a tool man responsible for restarting the DC Universe, won’t turn the lightning upside down soon after he obtains super power. Will it be too upside down?
In TV series, lightning man defeated counter lightning by working with green arrow and fire storm. It’s impossible to add those two to the film. They will rob the protagonist of the play.
If Eddie, the ancestor of counter lightning, kills himself and defeats the boss, the action drama will be very boring. Without the foreshadowing of so many episodes of TV series, where did Eddie get such high consciousness? You might as well let Flash’s girlfriend play more.
Liang Kun can’t think of how to make a good flash movie. If he doesn’t find the villain against lightning, he has to pretend to be Dr. wells and teach Barry to be strong. Villains are super powers created by particle accelerators. Choose a representative character.
After thinking about it, Liang Kun put forward his objection and suggested that the second film “Wonder Woman” be shot. Flash appeared in the third film, first to pave the way, and then to make a personal film.
This suggestion was not accepted. Everyone thought it was too risky to shoot a heroine.
Liang Kun introduced his ideas. “I think it’s better for the big three of DC to take turns. There has been no heroine film in recent years. Magic woman will brighten people’s eyes. After Chris (Nolan)’s Batman trilogy is finished, Batman will appear in the DC Universe. In the third film Batman vs Superman, you can join lightning and let him play a guest role.”
One person asked with a smile, “there are few heroine films because they all failed. If we shoot wonder woman at the box office, will it be a serious blow to the future film plan?”
Warner has suffered a lot in this regard. Once bitten by a snake, he is afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Cat girl, which was released in 2004, starred Haley berry. Before it was released, it was once known as the sexiest cat girl in history because of her modeling. After the release, the extremely bad plot, coupled with her little online acting skills, directly made Halle Berry win the golden plum award, which made her a classic picture of taking the golden plum on the spot with an Oscar.
In 2005, marvel made Erica, which was even worse. The movie even make complaints about Jennifer Garner’s modeling. She was nailed to the humiliation column of manwei movie like “super dart”.
The poor performance of these two films has not only become a stain on the performance history of the two stars, but also led to more difficult childbirth of female superhero films to a certain extent. No company wants to make heroine movies, and those who make big movies don’t dare to try.
Liang Kun insisted on his own opinion. “No one made it. We made it, which can attract more audience’s attention and lay a good foundation for the film justice alliance. Marvel dare not make the black widow film. We dare. It’s a big gimmick. I’ll write the script and be a director. I’m confident to win a high box office.”
Warner Group of people began to discuss, most people still think it’s safer to shoot flash and green lantern.
In the parallel world, wonder woman first appeared in Batman vs Superman. After the fans praised the role, Warner launched the personal film wonder woman. In fact, this order is not good. It’s reversed. There are no colored eggs in nvxia movies. It’s too independent.
If it is a personal film of nvxia first, you can shoot a colored egg at the end, which is a fragment of her modern life. “Batman” Bruce Wayne got her past photos, or they met and talked about something, and paved the way for the next DC film.
Liang Kun smiled and said, “I’ll write a script first and then discuss it. After reading the script, everyone is expected to have confidence in the film.”
Charles Rowan asked, “what age do you want to shoot?”
“In the background of World War I, Diana left paradise island after learning that the war broke out and came into contact with the outside society. Because she didn’t understand anything and had never seen a man before, she was simple, kind and in love.”
“She knows that human kindness and ugliness coexist, but she still has no hesitation and gives her strength. She does not exist to defeat a boss or achieve any seemingly extraordinary goal. She has always struggled for love, peace and equality of human nature. This is real feminism…”
Liang Kun actually doesn’t want to engage in feminism. He knows that movies will be hot and starring Gail gado will be hot.
In the parallel world, the plot of wonder woman is flawed, but the box office is very successful, with us $822 million worldwide. It’s a popcorn movie with all directions and no dead angles, showing “Gail gado is so beautiful!” in slow motion.
The story is simple and colorful, and a love is added to the play. This is Warner’s transformation after taking the dark wind route and losing the word-of-mouth box office one after another. As a result, the audience are very satisfied.
Liang Kun is going to revise some details to make the box office of the film higher than that of the parallel world.
After Marvel was acquired by Disney, the most powerful place is not its works, but the powerful control of the high-level group.
All films, directors and actors are screws in a huge business machine. Disney Marvel has a firm will and clear business thinking for its own territory expansion. Reflected in the film, the director needs to give up many of his own characteristics and complete a film within an established framework.
Will marvel’s series of assembly line films ruin the art of film?
The answer is No. Because the audience like the things taken out of this assembly line, it’s not too late for marvel to change when they don’t like them. Facts have proved that adding more comedy elements to the film can make the editing easier.
DC directors can retain their own characteristics. Unfortunately, some people’s characteristics are “jumping on the street”.
Liang Kun understood the target users very clearly, and then accurately designed the film plot for such people. Such an idea will bring a large number of fans and box office. Of course, it’s better to make a film in depth. It’s more difficult. It’s much easier to reduce the slot points of the film. Just change the bad parts of the original.
Warner’s people are willing to wait to see Liang Kun’s new play and trust him very much. Nolan said that he only made Batman trilogy and did not belong to DC Universe. He went to shoot others. DC wants to compete with marvel and needs talents like Liang Kun.
Without Liang Kun, Warner would pay so much attention to Zach Schneider in the future. Even if he was nominated for the worst director of the golden plum when making Batman vs. Superman, he still worked as a producer of many films.
Liang Kun replaced Zach. Unless he doesn’t want to, he will hang the names of producer and screenwriter for many DC films in the future to check for other teams.
