I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 806 He is not in the arena (Part )
In fact, Hungary has produced many works and it has its own film academy.

In the 5s and 20s, the leading organization in Hungarian film production was Magal Film Company, which had five feature film creation groups under it. In addition, there was the independent Balazs Young Film Studio, which produced 25 to 500 feature films each year. Other organizations such as the News and Documentary Film Studio, the Science and Education Film Studio, and the Art Film Studio produced 120 short films and TV films of various types.

Later, 'peaceful evolution'...

The Hungarian film industry was almost destroyed, becoming a dumping ground for Hollywood...

By the way, she became the main source of actors for Marc Dorcel. Among the top ten beauties of Marc Dorcel at that time, Sophie Moon was a Hungarian beauty!
This is also a Hungarian beauty, the famous Rosa Caracciolo, who starred in "Tarzan: Adult Version"!
However, after 2010, two film studios were built on the outskirts of Budapest: Origo Studios and Korda Studios.

The professional and complete studio and relatively low prices have attracted many Hollywood film and television crews to come to the studio for shooting and post-production special effects production.

Then... the profession of porn star continued to move eastward - to the Czech Republic, Europe's largest porn film production base!
Ahem...

Back to Shen Liang, there are different opinions online about him taking on a Hollywood movie!

Most of them have an encouraging attitude.

After all, it’s Alien, not The Meg…

Mainland audiences' impression of sharks is either "no trade, no killing" or O'Neal. No one has ever seen a shark in person!
Besides, the reputation of the first "Megalodon" was just that...

"Alien" is different!

"Alien" is a landmark science fiction film. Whether from the perspective of photography, lighting, editing, reverberation or from the theme and worldview, the first and second parts have reached the pinnacle of that era!

Especially the first one, the 1979 movie, which is still enjoyable to watch and there is nothing wrong with it.

What's more, the directors of the four "Alien" films are all awesome.

The first one was directed by Ridley Scott;

The second one is James Cameron;

The third director: David Fincher;

The director of the fourth film is slightly less well-known: Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who mainly works in France. His representative works include "Maison d'Or" and "Amelie"!
The fact that Shen Liang is filming "Alien", and it is a prestige series, shows that Hollywood respects him very much!
Most importantly, the director of "Alien: Taken" Federico Alvarez is a well-known horror film director in Hollywood, and has directed the "Don't Breathe" series...

Wu Jing starred in "The Meg 2", directed by Ben Wheatley, an unknown British director.

What's more, "Alien: Resurrection" has the support of Letley Scott!

Of course, there are also those who are not optimistic...

I am worried that Shen Liang’s participation, or the Sino-US co-production, will ruin the reputation of “Alien”…

This group of people... I can only say that they think too much. They were the ones who begged Shen Liang to take the photos, not Shen Liang who took the initiative to ask for it!
……

"Silent Killing" grossed 6200 million yuan on its first day of release, and then word of mouth exploded: large-scale, violence against violence...

Of course, many people also say "naked emotional catharsis!"

But you have to know that it is rare to see this kind of emotional catharsis movie on mainland screens!
So, naturally, the next day, the number was 8200 million, and on April 4, it finally exceeded 7 million in a single day…

The first day is Wednesday!
In the first five days of the release, the box office revenue exceeded 4.5 million yuan.

Maoyan has been constantly revising its box office forecasts, and by the end of April 4, the predicted total box office has reached 9 billion!
"Addicted to Killing" became a big hit in April.
Then, Dragon Horse Spirit was miserable...

As a Jackie Chan movie, it is very likely that the box office will stop at 1.5 million... After all, there is "Slam Dunk" on April 4th...

Let me briefly talk about "Dragon Horse Spirit"...

A very embarrassing scene!

It's called father-daughter love, but I didn't say much...

Jackie Chan plays Lao Luo, a workaholic who neglects his intimate relationships in order to pursue his career, leading to the separation of his wife and children.

Many years later, Lao Luo asked his daughter Xiaobao for help. Xiaobao, who had resented Lao Luo for many years, was of course very angry - you have ignored me for so many years, what right do you have?

The following plot is magical. After seeing Lao Luo’s wonderful performance, Xiao Bao feels that Lao Luo is truly amazing, so they put aside their past grudges and start to love each other as a family.

Where is the logic in this?

The second is the hypocritical "spirit of martial artists". There is already a documentary called "Martial Arts Masters" about "martial arts". That movie has already introduced the relevant spirit in a relatively comprehensive way.

But what is the significance of the “Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master” in “Dragon Horse Spirit” other than bragging about Jackie Chan himself?

It clearly said that they would stick to real shooting, but when it came to the action scenes, they used to use cheap special effects!

I don't understand what this movie is trying to say!
In addition, director and screenwriter Yang Zi wrote a line to express the deep love between father and daughter, and had Xiaobao tell Lao Luo, "You've grown old before you've grown up, of course I will take care of you." - "You've grown old before you've grown up" is Jackie Chan's autobiographical novel.

——This book contains negative information that Jackie Chan himself admitted, such as that when he was young he liked to spend the night with Miss No. 9, that he liked to drink and fight, and that he was not a qualified father. He went to pick up his son from the elementary school but did not pick him up. Later he found out that his son was no longer an elementary school student but had already gone to middle school.

Although Jackie Chan has said so much negative information, he downplayed the incident involving his biological daughter, saying only "until I made that serious mistake", turning it into an unspeakable secret...

The director actually used the title of this book as a gag!

I don’t know how high the ceiling of his talent is, but I know that the ceiling of his courage is indeed quite high!

Oh, and this movie made money!

Jackie Chan's movies are different from those in China. Domestic ones only make money from box office, while Jackie Chan's biggest advantage is that the copyright can be sold globally.

Generally speaking, the copyright fee in developed countries is about US$30 to US$80, while in poorer countries it is only US$10 to US$30.

Jackie Chan has a strong appeal, so 100 countries is a piece of cake.

Let me put it this way, as long as you control costs, any movie project will make money!
Movies with box office of billions in recent years have given many people the illusion that only movies with box office of tens or hundreds of billions are considered profitable.

In fact, many big productions only make over 100 million yuan, and movies starring Jackie Chan can basically make money!

——Relying on the overseas copyright market established over the past few decades, Jackie Chan never has to worry about overseas film producers buying copyrights whenever he releases a new film, and he can also guarantee more than 1 million or 2 million RMB in overseas copyright fees. For investors, it is always profitable. Otherwise, investors are not stupid, so why would they invest in so many movies for him?

The cost of "Westward Journey to Anxi" was 3.5 million yuan, and Jackie Chan was paid 5000 million yuan + 25% of overseas revenue.

Well, don’t think it’s expensive. This movie has just been approved, and there are already a lot of distribution companies offering high prices for the overseas distribution rights just for the poster…

If it's Shen Liang plus a first-line mainland actor, they might be able to sell the overseas copyright, but there will definitely not be anyone offering a high price to compete for it as soon as the project is launched!

I have to admit his appeal!
