hollywood draw

Michael Bay, no matter how critics belittle him, it cannot be denied that he is one of the most popular directors in the Hollywood film industry in the past two years.

Compared with the professional film critics' evaluation of him, film companies and practitioners in the circle have a completely different view. This circle has always been extremely real. Whoever can bring benefits to investors and make money is the darling of all capital.

Undoubtedly, Michael Bay has outstanding achievements in this regard. Regardless of whether he really only explodes or not, even if his movies are constantly exploded, the logic of the story before and after is nonsense. As long as a large number of movie fans pay for the bill, he is a recognized top director.

Just like John Gray asked Wayne if he thought there would be something wrong with this "Pearl Harbor". Seeing the other party Hanhu nodding, his expression was naturally incredible.

The producer's ideas represent the general perception of practitioners in the circle. It seems that in people's impression, as long as Michael Bay's works are not short of explosions, they will definitely not lack audiences.

There is no way, his movies are the top and most safest projects in the circle in terms of success rate, return rate and ability to promote people.

If this topic has not been discussed, Wayne can't give any definite answer. He can't tell John Gray that it was from "Pearl Harbor" that the explosion made the film critics fool it?

So far, he has long forgotten the details of "Pearl Harbor", but he clearly remembers that this war epic masterpiece named "Pearl Harbor" was scolded as soon as it was released. What is important is that the scolding is not only professional ratings of representatives such as film critics, but also a large number of fans who are looking forward to the film.

In fact, even if you only remember the rough film story now, Wayne has never forgotten it. This is a bloody love story of using a book to sneak attack Pearl Harbor to make a gimmick to tell an American love triangle.

Could it be that the film company did not discover the script of "Pearl Harbor" when it was just created? No, if such a script was put into the hands of a newcomer, whether it was a novice producer or a novice director, it would be thrown into the trash can by Disney as soon as possible.

But there are too many movies in Hollywood. This kind of movie that is obviously a garbage script, but has been made into extremely popular movies. The reason why it can determine whether a film company invests depends mainly on who is taking out the script.

With Jerry Brookheimer and Michael Bay as the top golden partner in the circle, even if the shit is taken out, Disney will be extremely confident and will spend hundreds of millions of dollars on this shit. This is the most real underlying logic of Hollywood.

"I've watched "The Jedi Men", and I've also watched this year's "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation".

On the way back to the hotel, Nina, as the person who knows Wayne the most, couldn't help but say: "Michael Bay seems to have a kind of magic. I even think that no director in this circle can understand what most movie fans want to watch like him.

Boss, I believe that you must have your own reason for judging that there will be problems in Pearl Harbor. However, it is better not to underestimate Michael Bay. The films he filmed before have never received such a huge investment. This time Disney's bold investment made him completely let go, and the result is really hard to say."

Hearing the assistant lady's words, Wayne shook his head and asked with a smile: "Nina, do you think that a person who has been criticized by film critics has been pissed off for many years. After achieving great success, will he want to take advantage of huge investments to completely slap all film critics in the face?"

"You mean..." Nina was stunned for a moment. As a woman with high IQ graduated from New York University, she immediately thought of what her boss meant.

“Success can lead to unconscious expansion.”

Looking at the street scene in the middle of the morning in the small town, Wayne said calmly: "If Disney didn't give Michael Bay that much money, this film might be like his previous works, at least the box office results would be guaranteed.

Think about it, Nina, a director who is unknowingly expanding because of his great success, will he have more ideas once he suddenly gets an investment that exceeds his expectations?"

Why is Hollywood a producer-centered production system? One of the very important reasons here is to allow producers to suppress the director's creative desire in the crew at any time, so as to ensure that the film will be implemented in the film company's plan from the beginning to the end of the filming.

Michael Bay's great success this year not only brought him huge investment in Disney, but also brought him the confidence that the producer can be ignored to a certain extent.

"These are just my guesses, and we can only talk privately." Shaking our heads gently, Wayne then casually said: "In fact, it is a greater possibility that under the supervision and constraints of Jerry Brookheimer, Michael Bay did not have the chance to add more personal ideas to the film."

A light flashed in his eyes hidden behind his glasses, and Nina whispered: "I heard that Disney has also launched another project called "The Sixth Sense". The project initiator and producer is Jerry Brookheimer..."

Her meaning is obvious, and everyone is very convinced that the explosion that is constantly successful will continue to succeed. Even the producer, who has always been known as one of the golden partners, is now focusing on the new projects he initiated.

So if we look at it this way, no one knows whether Wayne's guess about Michael Bay will really happen. At least the rare director's freedom in the Hollywood Circle is being held in the hands of the explosion.

"Hmm." Wayne shrugged and said casually: "I hope that his filming of Pearl Harbor can give me some surprises. I like the feeling of moving forward in the competition..."

Nina rolled her eyes and remained silent, and did not continue to talk about this topic because she knew the man around her very well.

That's right, Wayne has never been afraid of competition, nor has he lost, at least in terms of market performance. Among the directors who have lost in his hands over the years, he has never lacked box office dark horse manufacturing machines, nor has he never lacked top figures in the circle.

But Nina knows him, his boss is definitely an exquisite egoist. If there is a way to avoid competition and to make his movies exclusively for one or two weekends, he will never mind throwing black or white means at his competitors.

The overall evaluation of Wayne by the outside world has always been positive. It seems that when the name Wayne Greenberg appears together, adjectives such as "gentleman", "sunshine", "charity", "genius", and "US Dream".

In fact, what? Including the two most important women around him, Nina and Naomi Watts, who have always been "short-minded", "small-minded", "over-secretion of hormones", "extreme possessiveness", etc., as well as the indispensable "old-school machismo".

It is precisely such a person who can expect a strong opponent to constantly challenge his rule over certain aspects? In any case, Nina's eyes have long been adapted to the hypocrisy of her boss.

In fact, the assistant lady was really wrong this time. When it comes to the explosion, Wayne is really looking forward to this "Pearl Harbor". Will there be any changes?

In fact, according to his analysis, Michael Bay is likely to follow the old path he remembers. As he said, after a sudden success, someone gave him enough funds and gave him sufficient creative freedom. I am afraid no director can withstand such temptation.

The only thing that made him feel a pity was the toy adaptation series that made Blaster turn over in his memory, and the copyright was not available in advance.

If the other party still fails one after another as he imagined, and he is almost abandoned by the entire Hollywood, this may be the only regret. He is not interested in buying at the bottom in the stock market, because although those things make money quickly, they are not the area he is good at.

But Wayne was very interested in buying at Hollywood.

Anyone who can succeed will never be afraid of temporary failures. No one knows better than him. These two consecutive huge failures have given Michael Bay enough lessons.

It is precisely because of the frustration in recent years that made the other party figure out what they are good at, what they are suitable for, whether they should care about the opinions of professional film reviews, and how to turn things around.

There is no doubt that only the brainless popcorn masterpiece with huge scenes can fully exert its ability to explode shells to a certain extent. And that toy series can be said to be in line with all the characteristics.

Don’t worry about the plot logic or the artistic elements. The biggest attraction of Transformers to movie fans is the love and fight between Brother Zhuzi and Megatron.

In front of this enemy who has been fighting from Cybertron to Earth, the story and plot are nothing important. As long as the scene is good and can continuously attract the emotional bonus of movie fans born in the 1980s and 1990s again and again, it is a good movie that has been recognized by the market.

In the early years, probably when Wayne was in college, he had occasionally made the idea of ​​this series. The main reason was that this series was very suitable for the future film market.

In the theater market where superheroes are everywhere, there are not many series of movies with stable results, and it is also one of the most profitable series in the offline movies.

But as long as he thinks about what he is best at, he will laugh out loud. If this IP is in Wayne's hands, he will definitely kick Brother Zhuzi into the dark abyss, and then let Brother Zhuzi struggle in the darkness and find himself again.

It is absolutely impossible to help but give this group of Autobots enough humanity to let them play a game of mutual salvation. But will movie fans be willing to watch such Transformers? Even he himself knows that it is impossible, absolutely impossible.

In fact, the easiest way is what Michael Bay deals with. As long as you ensure that the appearance of Zhuzi and Megatron are sufficient, not only will there be countless people in North America willing to pay for their feelings, but other countries and regions in the world will definitely not lack movie fans who pay for their bills.

You know, this toy series was first popular in North America. Even on the land opposite the Pacific Ocean, many children grew up watching this cartoon, although many of them had never played with those toys by themselves.

When he thought of Transformers, Wayne immediately thought of more. The routine of Transformers in his memory was completely filmed in the later stages of the film into a large-scale promotional commercial.

Characters who can call their names will come out and show their faces to fight. Even if some characters die, they can change their looks and make a comedy in the next episode. There is only one purpose to promote the sales of truly profitable, big-headed peripheral products.

This approach is actually the foundation of Disney's career. When it comes to playing this aspect, all Hollywood film companies are not as crazy as Disney's.

They were embarrassed to make the heroine in an animated feature film change clothes during the two-hour screening time. The facts also proved that they were right. After the animated feature film was released worldwide, the heroine's various skirts were sold offline.

To put it bluntly, this is inevitably the development trend of DC superhero movies, and it can even be said to be the future trend of all superhero movies. He secretly wrote it down and went back and had to talk to the group of Warner Bros. executives.

Well, let's go to Disney's path first. As for whether Disney will continue to do this in the future, he will not be able to control it. It is also a good idea to help Michael Eisner when necessary to make Disney's chaos last longer. Anyway, it's not true that there will be any losses to him.

In Wayne's perception, nothing in Hollywood is irreplaceable, and of course this range also includes the most successful movie giants in memory.

In a highly commercialized structure like Hollywood, nothing cannot be copied. Disney in memory can do it. He believes that as long as Warner Bros. does not follow the old path and avoid those important declining nodes, it can still do it.

And while developing, one thing we must pay attention to is to set higher and higher thresholds for people and companies that have the ability to replace and even surpass themselves. In fact, the Six Hollywood majors have been doing this. The more brilliant dream factory will be in the next few years, it will be sad when it is lonely.

The filming in Italy is over. Thinking of this, Wayne can't wait to start the work below as soon as possible. As long as the work of "Wonder Woman" and "Superman" end this year and achieve the expected results, there will be only one pass before him, Justice League.

“if you missed the train i am on,

you will know that i am gong.

you hear the whiste blow 100 miles.

100 miles 100 miles 100 miles 100 miles,

you hear the whistle blow 100 miles.

lord i am one..."

In the early morning, there were constant noises in the small town. Wayne was confused and listened to the song "five hundreds miles" from the radio, leading the crew away from the small town, rushed to the nearest airport, and prepared to fly to London among the British Isles.

In this small town hotel, the only thing that is left is Monica Bellucci, who is standing in front of the window and looking at the convoy. Her eyes were firm and hope.
