World-class directors in the entertainment industry
Chapter 745: Evil
In Los Angeles in May, young people wearing short skirts can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Warner Film and Television Base.
"Fake..."
In Nuoda's studio, Qin Dong's cursing voice echoed from time to time.
As the leading actor in the film, Jason Momoa is the one who gets scolded the most.
Who wants him to be the leading actor?
It just so happens that he is the male lead, he has the most roles, but his acting skills are the worst.
After entering the modeling world and then entering the entertainment industry, Jason Momoa has played countless roles on one hand for more than ten years.
After looking at the other actors in the cast, whether it is the heroine Yin Wa Green, the male or female supporting actors, or even some of the actors who have roles that are similar to minor roles, their acting skills are basically inferior to that of Jason Momoa, the male protagonist.
"Jason...don't be impatient. You must stabilize your mentality. Your acting skills really need to be trained."
During the break in filming, Jason's manager quickly started to give some guidance.
As an agent who switched jobs, he took Jason Momoa to CAA. The agent knew why CAA hired him, it was because of his artist Jason Momoa.
Therefore, every time Jason was scolded by Qin Dong, his manager would start to enlighten him.
To prevent artists from getting too hot-headed and giving up on themselves.
"Oh, MAN, did you meet me on the first day?"
Jason Momoa glanced at the agent angrily:
"I know that my acting skills are the worst among the entire crew, and I won't care."
"Because this is the truth, I need to work harder."
"Please be quiet. I need to sort out my thoughts and think about how to perform better later."
Seeing Jason Momoa impatiently waving his hands to go away, the agent smiled and walked away quickly:
"That's good, that's good."
I didn't care at all that the artist didn't give me any face.
This is the norm in the circle.
When an artist is a Hucai artist, the artist has to look at the manager's face.
Once an artist turns over, the manager will have to look at the artist's face.
...
After a day of shooting, Qin Dong took a car back to the Beverly Manor.
"Chairman, Martin from CAA and Caesar from our company Blackwater Dragon Flag came to visit."
It was just that Qin Dong had just come back to take a shower and was just thinking about having some dinner when the intercom rang.
"Let them both in."
A few minutes later...
"Martin, Caesar...what's the matter? Have you eaten?"
Qin Dong asked as he led Martin and Caesar towards the restaurant.
"I haven't eaten yet. I plan to come to your place for dinner."
Martin, who was already an acquaintance, arrived at the restaurant without any surprise and opened up his dining chair.
"BOSS..."
Caesar, on the other hand, was reserved.
"Okay, let's get down to business after eating."
Qin Dong waved his hand to interrupt Caesar's words and motioned for him to sit down as well.
I didn't ask any further. Anyway, the fact that the other party came meant that something was indeed going on.
It was already dinner time, and Martin was not in a hurry, which meant that there was nothing urgent to do.
As for why Martin came with Caesar, Qin Dong had some guesses. It was probably not just about Qin Dong, but also about the Blackwater Dragon Flag.
...
Half an hour later...
"Tell me about it."
"Qin, did you forget something while filming the movie?"
Seeing Qin Dong not remembering, Martin felt so angry.
"Huh? Frank...Martin, I was filming for a whole day, and I was so angry with the curses that I couldn't find the mood to think about other things."
Qin Dong said angrily.
This is the truth.
He had some guesses, but Qin Dong was too lazy to guess and think too much.
Jason Momoa's acting skills do have some problems. There are many areas for improvement in this person's acting skills.
Qin Dong's requirements are relatively high, which is why most of his movie actors are veteran actors, mostly actors with superb acting skills.
However, actors in superhero movies don’t actually need to be very good at acting.
However, Qin Dong also tried his best to let the actors give more exciting acting performances on the premise that the original planned shooting time remained unchanged.
Therefore, Qin Dong has high demands, and Jason Momoa, the male protagonist, was scolded miserably.
"Oh, okay, it seems I have to supervise Jason. After filming this drama, he still needs to continue his studies."
When Martin heard this, he immediately understood and stopped irritating Qin Dong.
"Qin, have you released any of the movies you shot yourself?"
"Well, there is also Caesar. He is the general manager of your company in North America, Blackwater Dragon Flag. Blackwater Dragon Flag also has a movie ready to be released."
"This time is just right. I, your agent, and Caesar, your company employee, are here to ask you questions."
"What on earth are you thinking? Should you give me an answer..."
Seeing how Caesar was frightened by Qin Dong's unkind attitude, Martin had no choice but to do it himself.
"Oh, this matter..."
Qin Dong suddenly looked at Caesar and asked:
"The company is currently in post-production and what movies are waiting for theater release?"
There is no need to ask others if any of your own movies are not released.
"BOSS..."
When Caesar heard this, he immediately sat up straight and answered:
"The second part of the series of movies, [The Hunger Games] starring Jennifer Lawrence, the youngest actress in Oscar history, is waiting to be released..."
"The second part of the movie series [Divergent] starring Elizabeth Olsen is also waiting to be released."
"The first part of "The Purge of Humanity" directed by Shan Zhou has also finished the post-production and is waiting to be released."
"The second part of the horror film [Insidious] directed by James Wan, and the first part of the new series [The Conjuring] are all in post-production."
Qin Dong took out the cigar box and listened while cutting.
Until one was thrown to Martin and Caesar, and the three of them lit cigars and started smoking...
"James Wan's movies will not be considered for the summer vacation and will be put on Halloween."
"Do you have a list of North American movies released during the summer vacation?"
After taking two puffs of smoke, Qin Dong first rejected James Wan's movie before caring about the summer vacation.
The summer holiday season in North America is usually a market for blockbusters.
A-level and super-A-level blockbusters are basically released in rotation during the summer vacation.
As for horror movies, there is a schedule in North America, which is called the "horror movie schedule", and that is Halloween.
Most horror movies are released during this time period, and some dark horse horror movies often pop up.
"Bring it, BOSS."
Upon hearing this, Caesar quickly took out the prepared documents and handed them over.
"Tom also has a movie coming out...[Edge of Tomorrow]...it's a science fiction movie..."
Qin Dong opened the file and looked at it, not paying much attention to some unknown movies.
When I saw a certain movie, I looked up at Martin.
"..."
Martin felt that something was wrong with Qin Dong's eyes.
Is it possible that "Edge of Tomorrow" starring Tom Cruise did not do well at the box office?
"[Sin City] The second part of the series of movies..."
I saw another movie I had heard about, and it was a superhero movie.
However, they are not superheroes from Marvel and DC, but comics from other North American cartoonists.
He is also considered the most famous cartoonist outside of Marvel and DC, his name is Frank Miller.
This comic book movie "Sin City" was produced by him.
The first film "Sin City" did well at the box office and in terms of reputation.
The colors in Frank Miller's comics are always very well mixed.
The adaptation of his comics must be in accordance with his comic style, which is Frank Miller's request.
With the usual ghostly composition and color mix, coupled with Miller's unique gloomy story style, the first part really succeeded.
【But this second part...】
Qin Dong laughed secretly in his heart and wrote it down, but did not say it out loud.
"[The Expendables] Part 3, oh, how defiant, our [Mr. Rambo]."
Continuing to watch, Qin Dong smiled and said something when he saw a movie starring the famous Stallone.
“The [The Expendables] series is pretty good. Although it’s a piece of cake, it still makes money.”
Martin added something after hearing this and expressed his opinion.
For a businessman like him, does it matter whether it is a piece of cake or a new work?
It doesn't matter, as long as you can make money, then everything is delicious.
"Hmm, maybe."
Qin Dong didn't refute when he heard this. Although he recalled that the movie eventually crashed at the box office due to the leak of the film source, there was no need to say this.
At least the current May source leak incident is still two months early.
"[Hercules]...Hercules..."
After seeing this movie, although I remember it didn't do well at the box office, the starring role...
Well, the starring role is still not good, but it is about to be good. The leading role is Johnson Dwayne.
"[Guardians of the Galaxy] Part 1...will be released on August 1st..."
It wasn't until he saw the back of the file that Qin Dong saw a movie worthy of attention.
Previous movies were either famous blockbusters that hit the street, or small-budget films that achieved good box office success, but none of them deserved Qin Dong's attention.
At present, even those low-budget films can achieve good box office, but in Qin Dong's memory, none of these films has a North American box office of more than 200 million.
"August 1st, the end of the summer vacation..."
"Martin, do you think this means Disney or Marvel..."
"Is this a lack of confidence? Are you not optimistic about the box office prospects of this movie?"
Seeing the date, Qin Dong smiled and asked Martin what he thought.
The time period of August 1st is usually the date for the release of movies that are not confident, mostly small films.
The summer vacation in North America starts in early May, and movie fans are already emptying their wallets in August. This is when blockbusters release most of their money.
Therefore, all A-level movies with a cost of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, let alone super-A-level movies, are usually released in May or June, or even later in July.
Rarely released in August.
"I don't know, it's hard to say."
Martin shook his head. He had seen this watch a long time ago. CAA would prepare this watch every year before the summer vacation and show it to him as the president:
"Since Marvel was acquired by Disney, very little news has been released."
"As for Disney, Robert's ideas are also unpredictable."
"As far as I know, the cost of this [Guardians of the Galaxy] is as high as 170 million US dollars."
"Normally, a movie of this level should be released in May, June, July or March."
Just looking at Qin Dong, Martin added again:
"But a movie of this level, released in August, is a good thing for Qin, you and your company."
"It won't affect you anyway."
As the manager of a petty and vengeful artist, Martin is very worried about Qin Dong.
This person is too vindictive, and Disney’s President Robert Iger is definitely Qin Dong’s enemy. a>vas>div>Scan the QR code to download Red Sleeves and Xiaoxiang to receive benefits. Newbies can read for free for a limited time div>div>div>
