"Bryant, something is wrong......"
Taking advantage of the meeting, Jack Wells called Li He."
What?
Didn't pass the project review?
”Li He was listening to a report at the Santa Monica Industrial Light & Magic Studio when he received a phone call."
It's still a heated discussion, but there's a lot of resistance."
Jack Wells said."
Let me guess, it won't be because I'm a Chinese or a Chinese director, so someone disagrees, right?"
Li He said."
Ugh!
As you guessed, although your previous movies have achieved very good results in North America, you are not like Ang Lee after all, you have the experience of Hollywood development, and the company's senior management is somewhat distrustful. ”Jack Wells said."
Why did you invest in the Batman franchise in the first place?"
Li He asked."
Well, it's because I'm optimistic about its prospects, and it's already needed by DC."
Jack Wells said."
Look, that's it, another news from you, Leo has agreed to play the male lead in "Inception".Li He said.In fact, Xiao Lizi has not agreed yet, but after reading the script, he showed great interest, and now it is up to Warner Pictures to prepare.Li He brought good news, Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio agreed to join the Chinese director's project.With more guarantees, Solomon Fan Di could no longer object, and proposed to hand over the project to the group company for decision.The matter was eventually turned over to Time Warner Group, and former Warner Pictures CEO Doug Walter, who has become an executive director of Time Warner, persuaded the board of directors to decide to invest in the film.In this way, there is no doubt that Warner Pictures invested in the project "Inception", and Li He notified Xiao Lizi as soon as he got the news, and Xiao Lizi no longer considered it and agreed to join the project.However, the project started early, and Li He still has to complete the "Gravity" project.It's a matter of North America, Li He didn't delay anymore, he left to return to China, there are still a lot of jobs waiting for him, and during Tang Qianqian's pregnancy, he, as a husband, should be by her side.Before leaving, Li He told Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures about Warner Pictures' decision, and the two companies naturally agreed that even if Warner Pictures did not invest, the two companies would invest.Li He's successive successes have made them blindly trust Li He, even if Li He says that he wants to make Se love films, I'm afraid that both companies will participate.Of course, through a "person familiar with the matter", Warner Bros.
Pictures' decision to invest in Li He's new project was also exposed.It is not unusual for Warner to participate in the investment, after all, there has been a precedent before, but the title of Li He's new project broke out, and the name is "Laying the Foundation".There are even "insiders" who broke the news that Xiao Lizi, Tom Brother, Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage and other Hollywood stars are all candidates for the protagonists of the next play.The true and false news has attracted the attention of fans and caused a carnival of the media."
Really, really, really?
Lee Hyuk has a new movie again?
”"You heard it right, it's Warner Pictures begging Li He to shoot it.""
I heard that it is starring Xiao Lizi, it's the first time!""
I heard that it's Tom ......" ", this efficiency is too high, "Gravity" hasn't been released yet, and the new movie has begun.""
By the way, this film is called "Laying the Foundation", does anyone know what it means?""
Look it up in the dictionary yourself......"
"It's really a fast gunner, this movie is really fast."
Li He didn't care what he said on the Internet, he just posted a conceptual poster on Weibo, which was regarded as an acknowledgment of the new project.However, this poster made netizens even more confused, it is a scene of a person sleeping and dreaming, and combined with the title "Laying the Foundation", it makes people feel very weird.But the most important thing now is not "Laying the Foundation", but the first 30-second trailer of Li He's film "Gravity", and the audience finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the film.The UP master of station B gave a detailed explanation of the trailer, analyzed every frame of the trailer, and finally concluded that every picture of this movie can be used as a wallpaper.The trailer doesn't reveal much, starting with a ten-second long close-up, then a satellite being hit, space debris flying at high speed, and the mission team in distress.However, these are enough to arouse the audience's expectations, as the second part of Li He's space trilogy, under the good foundation laid by "The Martian", the audience is very much looking forward to this second part.And this is Li He, which of Li He's movies is not exciting?
Which one is not a box office bomb?
Now all film companies are waiting for "Gravity" to announce the release schedule if there are movies released in the summer file.DreamWorks did not grind, and on the day before Christmas, it was announced that "Gravity" will be released simultaneously worldwide, scheduled for April 30, 2019.As soon as the news came out, major film companies took action to avoid Li He's films."
Hey!
Lao Zheng, don't release it on April 30, let's change the schedule. ”"Ugh!
But Mr.
Wang, which schedule do we move?
”"Lao Tzu TM knows, in short, the farther away from that summer file madman, the better......"
The above dialogue of Wanda Pictures took place within major companies, and many films originally scheduled to be released on April 30 have changed their schedules, resulting in an unusually empty schedule.The first to be released in the summer was "Avengers 4: Endgame", which was canceled for May 12 and moved to April 24.It's not that Disney is afraid of Li He, in fact, as long as it's not Batman, the Avengers heroes really have nothing to be afraid of.The two encounters made the Avengers heroes understand that although Batman's superpowers are not as good as those of the Avengers, he is definitely a stronger existence than Thanos.If there is still Batman to touch porcelain this year, the Avengers hero is estimated to have a desperate heart with him.In fact, they don't know that Li He has no plans to start the third "Rise of the Dark Knight", and even if it does, it will definitely be far away from the Avengers Four, whoever touches porcelain is stupid.The second-grossing superhero movie in film history in the previous life is definitely not something that can be defeated by simply touching porcelain.Fortunately, the audiences of "Gravity" and "Avengers 4: Endgame" are different, and there will not be much intersection between the two.Sony Columbia's new film "Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters" was originally released on April 30, but due to Li He's name in the mainland market, it was moved to May 31."
The Best of Us" and "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" were both moved to June 6, and there were almost no new movies released in the first half of May.Li He paid special attention to "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", if I am not mistaken, this film in his previous life was the last straw that crushed Twentieth Century Fox, and it was the landing of this film that led to the lack of funds of Twentieth Century Fox, and finally Disney completed a shocking merger and acquisition.In this life, Disney has two more competitors from Huaxia, and the combination of Penguin Group and Qingfeng Group is definitely not worse than Disney, and even in terms of financial resources, the two companies are much stronger than Disney.Twentieth Century Fox is waiting for the price to sell, and on the other hand, it is pinning its hopes on "X-Men: Dark Phoenix", hoping that this film will be a box office hit and will make the company revived.It's just that this hope is very empty, and it is destined that the 20th century Fox will have no power to return......
