Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 182 Movie Trailer

"The actors are in place!"

"Scene 1, 1st take, begins!"

Because this movie has a strong logic, Link will try his best to shoot according to the development of the story during the filming. However, the plot that takes place in one scene will also be shot in one go to save costs.

"Someone heard the couple swearing at each other for about two hours. There was nothing else going on. Then they heard a gunshot. The deceased was beaten to a bloody pulp."

At a crime scene, a middle-aged detective said to old William, "It was a crime committed in the heat of the moment."

"Really? Just look at the marks on the wall and you'll know how impulsive he was."

Old William walked around the crime scene with his hands in his pockets, looking around the apartment of the deceased. Suddenly he stopped in front of a picture drawn by a child. Old William put on his glasses and asked, "Did their children see all this?"

"what?"

the middle-aged detective asked impatiently.

"Is the child present?"

"What kind of bullshit question is this? We were all very happy to hear that you were retiring, you know that Samosa? You always ask these bullshit questions, can the kids see? Who cares about this? He is dead, his wife killed him, and the rest has nothing to do with us."

The middle-aged detective walked into the room cursing.

Bang bang bang!
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, and Ben Affleck, who played David Mills, trotted up, wearing a black leather jacket, a white shirt, a tie, and a short stubble on his chin.

After Mills came upstairs, he looked around the corridor and his eyes fell on old William.

"Detective Somerset?"

Old William turned and looked at him.

"I'm Detective Mills!"

"Cut!"

Link called a pause, looked at the footage, and walked to the set to exchange a few words with Morgan Freeman, Ben Affleck, and Charles, who played the middle-aged detective.

There was a problem with the coordination of the three in this scene. Morgan Freeman was two steps slow, and Ben Affleck was not active enough, lacking the passion and youthful vigor that the character should have.

Charles, who played the middle-aged detective, did not appear impatient enough and his emotions were not right.

Morgan Freeman is a veteran actor who has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, but he was quite humble on the set and was willing to accept guidance from this young director.

This also made the filming work of the crew much smoother.

Ben Affleck's problem is still quite obvious at the moment, that is, he does not understand the role well enough and his performance is not integrated enough.

Still needs more training.

After finishing the play, Link announced that filming would begin again, and the second take went more smoothly without any major problems.

However, in order to allow Ben Affleck to get into the role more quickly, Link shot the second half of the scene twice more, asking Ben to find the feeling of playing David Mills.

This scene took one day to shoot.

While Link was filming in New York, the second trailer for Final Destination was released.

The first trailer mainly announced the film's leading actors and release date.

The second trailer has more content and a more shocking plot, telling the audience, "The god of death wants you to die at three o'clock, and will not let you live until five o'clock," "Life and death are unpredictable, and everyone will die," and "After everyone is born, the god of death will design a way and time for him to die, and no one can escape the pursuit of the god of death." This trailer also has some big scene special effects clips.

This is to attract the audience's attention.

The trailer was quite effective and after it was shown on TV, many people noticed the movie and are looking forward to it.

"Why don't we stop Guess What Movies from promoting the film on TV? If we don't allow them to promote it on a large scale, no one will know when the film will be released, and the film will naturally not be a big hit."

Robert Downey Jr. was a little anxious after watching the trailer for "Final Destination". The movie seemed quite interesting and he couldn't help but want to go to the cinema to watch it.

Kiefer Sutherland said, "It's difficult. Guess what? It costs millions of dollars for the studio to promote the movie on TV. It's a big contract. The seven major media groups can't not make this money because of CAA. They don't have the habit of helping others."

Robert Downey Jr. said, "What about banning this movie? We can contact the theaters and not let the movie be released, or not let the movie be released on a large scale. As long as the number of theaters showing it is small, the movie will not be a big seller."

"I'm afraid that won't work. Cinemas all know that Link's movies do well at the box office, and that showing his movies will get them more revenue. It's said that before Link's new movie was released, the three major cinema chains rushed to show the movie in their theaters, and gave him a higher box office share than the commercial blockbusters produced by the seven major film studios. If we want to convince all cinema chains not to show Final Destination, we can't just talk about it, unless we give them money, tens of millions to make up for the losses of the cinema chains. If we do that, we'll have to spend a lot of money, which is not cost-effective."

David Duchovny said.

Kiefer Sutherland said, "That's right. In addition, banning a film that has passed the review from being released is also suspected of monopoly. Even Ovitz would not do such a thing."

"Neither this nor that works. Are we just going to watch Link's movie become a big hit?"

Robert Downey Jr. is anxious.

Not long ago, Ovitz asked everyone to raise funds to help promote "The Trap". Based on the amount of his bet, he needed to pay more than two million US dollars.

This also resulted in his debt reaching $580 million.

If he loses the bet, he will go bankrupt and become a pauper.

Every time he thought about this, he would become irritable and anxious.

Now that he's seen the good trailer for Final Destination, his anxiety has become even worse.

Kiefer Sutherland patted Robert on the back and said, "Robert, don't worry." The box office of "The Final Destination" reached 15 million U.S. dollars in the first 2.02 weeks. This number is not something that any movie can get. "Final Destination" is just a high-cost thriller. Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to get a box office of 1 million, let alone 2.02 million.

Don't forget how much resources CAA and Paramount Pictures spent to make "Sugar Coat Trap" reach 2.02 million at the box office. How much money and time did we spend? Do Link and Guess What Pictures have these conditions? No, so don't worry too much. "

Robert Downey Jr. nodded. Thinking about how difficult it was for "The Final Destination" to get a box office of 2.02 million, it would not be easy for "Final Destination" to break this number.

"Peter, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking?"

David Duchovny looked at Brad Pitt who was drinking alone nearby.

"It seems like I'm missing out on a great movie role."

Brad Pitt sipped his beer and scratched his scalp with his thumb.

"What role?"

"Whose movie?"

Little Robert and others looked at him.

"Seven deadly sins!"

Brad Pitt sighed.
