Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 124 See the boast mode again
More importantly, Steven Spielberg is the major shareholder of DreamWorks, and he has equity. At the same time, he is also a great director as famous as Cameron, so comprehensive comparison, in the minds of these actors, The status is much higher than that of a vice president of the Big Seven.

After all, the vice president is just a high-level wage earner, and a company can have several vice presidents.

At this time, looking at the room full of big shots at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, Eva Green and Martina, who were new to Hollywood and attended this kind of occasion, finally had a clearer understanding of Wayne's power in Hollywood. know.

Seeing Wayne being surrounded by a group of big shots, chatting and laughing, his eyes couldn't help but be extremely fiery.

His eyes glanced at Mia, who was standing next to Wayne and could hold his arm in this situation. He felt extremely envious and jealous. He couldn't help but dream about what it would be like if he could stand there instead of Mia. good.

"No, we must find a way to get more favor from Wayne!" The three of them, including Anne, secretly thought in their hearts.

On the other side, although not in the most corner, but still on the edge, Matt Damon and his agent were equally horrified when they looked at the scene in front of them.

Although Matt Damon has starred in many movies with much higher production costs than "The Dark Side", this is the first time he has encountered a movie viewing party of this scale.

After all, for general big-budget films, the production company behind them either has distribution capabilities or has already contacted the distribution company in advance.

Holding screening parties and selling copyrights until the film is finished usually only happens with low-budget films.

As for a small-budget movie, it is difficult to attract the Big Seven, let alone all seven of them being present.

Seeing Wayne being surrounded by the CEOs of the Big Seven and becoming the center of the audience, he, who had always been arrogant, had the idea that he was inferior to someone for the first time.

This made him feel discouraged.

The screening started soon, and the huge screening room quickly became quiet as the lights dimmed.

Nowadays, the wealthy Hemera Films has renovated this large screening room. The facilities and specifications such as seats and screens are not inferior to those of the VIP screening rooms in regular cinemas, which also makes the welcome experience even better. Much better.

Of course, how many dollars "The Dark Side" can ultimately sell for depends on its quality.

"I'm sorry, I really can't say it to you face to face. It's really not an easy decision to make, but in my opinion this is the best way to avoid us continuing to have meaningless arguments."

Like the original version, James Wan chose to start the story with the video recorded by Eva Green's Belén herself.

Ordinary viewers may not find anything wrong with this paragraph, but if they are careful viewers, they will find something is wrong. As insiders and senior film purchase experts, Jeff Butler and others, He frowned slightly and saw the problem at a glance.

"This person's acting skills are a bit poor."

"The tired, sad, and desperate emotions of wanting to break up and run away because of a quarrel are completely superficial. They are not serious at all. They are not as good as many acting students."

"Wayne also selected this newcomer? Could it be that Wayne made a mistake?"

Everyone couldn't help but think about it.However, the film has just begun. Considering the past success of Wayne and Hemera Pictures, everyone just quickly wrote this down and then continued to watch the film seriously. Most people even thought about it. This is a thriller and suspense movie, and you can guess what the deep meaning of this poor performance may be.

In fact it is.

The second female lead, Belen, wanted to test her husband Adrian's feelings for her, so she wanted to record a video pretending to run away from home, hide in a secret room, and secretly observe her husband's every move.

But she didn't study acting, she was just a women's shoe designer, so her performance was naturally a bit clumsy.

It's just that the male protagonist 'Adrian' is not a professional film critic or actor, so he couldn't see this. However, the police saw this carefully, so they felt that there was something wrong with 'Belén' running away from home, and they were suspicious. This was what 'Adrian' forced 'Belén' to record, and after the recording, he killed his wife 'Bélén'.

James Wan's grasp of this detail is undoubtedly much better than that of the original version.The colors of the picture are also very layered, which made Wayne, who had seen the original version and knew the plot, couldn't help but nod secretly, thinking that the director was indeed right.

Soon, Wayne put aside his distracting thoughts and started looking seriously.Not to mention, even if he had seen the original version, he still watched it with gusto.

After all, all the actors except Martina have been replaced, the appearance has been improved by more than one level compared to the original version, and the graphics and rhythm are more exciting than the original version.

For a time, in addition to the sound in the film, the only sound in the entire screening room was the slight swiping sound of a pen tip scratching across paper.

In addition, compared to the original version, the length of this version of the film has also been streamlined. There are now only 300 minutes of more than 92 minutes of material, so soon as the film ends, the lights in the screening room come back on. .

"A very exciting movie! At least it is the most exciting thriller and suspense movie I have watched in the past two years!"

"Although there are no bloody and violent scenes, not even murder or death, it is very frightening to watch and gives me a chilling feeling on my back."

"Including "Acceptance", "Happy Death Day" and the currently released "Girls", the stories of these four movies are all written by Mr. Wayne. I have to say that Mr. Wayne is really talented!"

"."

As expected, a group of film purchasing experts continued to sort out the information they had just written down. Their bosses, the senior executives from major distribution companies, once again surrounded Wayne and started to praise him.

No wonder.

There is nothing to say about the quality of the film itself. Wayne's story, James Wan's direction, and the successful precedent of "Happy Death Day" make them really optimistic about the box office performance of "The Dark Side".

Of course, the most important thing is that Wayne's new movie is for sale. As long as the price is right, whoever buys it has a high probability of making money.

And it's not a small amount of money, it's at least tens of millions of dollars.

This amount is not a small amount even for people like them, who are the vice presidents of the Big Seven. It can be regarded as a very good performance, so they naturally praise Wayne.
