1215 super blockbuster
The project tentatively named "Jurassic Park: Extinction" has been officially launched. It is still in the early preparation stage. The script is being created intensively. Even the entire story framework does not have a clear idea, let alone the actors and actresses. The director is waiting for the cast and the entire project is being advanced in an orderly manner..
Regarding the choice of the male lead, currently only Steven Spielberg and Ron Meyer are under discussion.
Rumored list of top actors, right now.
In such a super blockbuster project, after a brainstorming meeting, the casting director and producer will make a list of Hollywood actors and actresses, about thirty to fifty, and then display them in Lang's office on the table.
Lang and Steven will conduct preliminary screening and deletion, determine a directional concept and idea, reduce the list to less than thirty as much as possible, and mark the focus objects; the remaining audition, evaluation, and selection work will be Submit it to the casting director and relevant staff.
In this list, the first one is undoubtedly the hottest actor in Hollywood at the moment; and those who can successfully make it into the top ten are either distinctive and impressive, and can easily be seen on paper; or they are The broker's methods are tough and superb, and his influence penetrates into the entire industry in all aspects..
Although there may be various exceptions and accidents throughout the entire actor selection process, overall, top resources are still in the hands of a few people, and the entire youth of Hollywood is epitomized in this list of actors. Above, it is also a proof that it is at the top of the Vanity Fair pyramid..
Renly tops this list of cast members for "Jurassic Park: Extinction"！
There is no doubt that this is not only true for Universal Pictures, but also for other film companies. Faced with this hot young actor, almost no one can refuse. All projects have found Renly. According to rumors, Andy Rogers must not Do not set up a dedicated office for stacking and selecting relevant materials for invitation projects..
The same is true tonight. Although Renly failed to win his second statuette, he was still the most watched actor on Oscar night. Even Daniel Day-Lewis, who made history, After all, Daniel refused to star in any commercial films, while Renly opened up all possibilities.
Even within Universal Pictures, despite the turmoil from the "Fast and Furious" crew, they still believe that Renly is the best choice..
But after screening, Lang Meyer set the age of the actors between twenty-eight and thirty-five. Renly, who is under twenty-four this year, was directly eliminated..
On the surface, the male protagonists of mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbusters are generally between the ages of thirty and forty-five, because they are the main consumers of the commercial film market..
If it tends to be younger, then it will be closer to the age of thirty, which can attract more young audiences; but if it is younger, this will not be a mainstream commercial movie, but a youth movie, like "Harry Potter" ", "Twilight", and "The Hunger Games" generally have completely different market positioning and planning..
“"Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" chose Shia LaBeouf as the leading actor. Shia was only 22 years old at the time and made her debut with the "Transformers" series; but the special thing about the movie is that Harrison Ford Starred - Harrison and Shia formed a father-son team, forming a dual protagonist model. Only 22-year-old Shia can take on the leading role at such a young age.
At least on the surface, it sounds high-sounding and impeccable; however, Steven understands his old friend's calculations and intentions..
Renly's guess is correct. On the road of cooperation in "Jurassic Park: Extinction", Lang is still a core level that cannot be bypassed..
His eyes fell on Renly, and Steven showed a confident and nonchalant smile, "As for the follow-up promotion of the project, it is too early to talk about the details. We are currently working on the script, hoping to determine a clearer With a clear creative idea, it is estimated that filming will not start within this year. So, let’s wait and see what happens..”
“This is good news." Renly smiled and met Steven's appraising gaze, "Because in the next few months, I have no plans to take on any new works, and I am ready to relax and enjoy a long vacation..”
“Really? Steven showed an unexpected look and said jokingly, "Young people are on the rise in their careers. Shouldn't they increase their efforts and keep sprinting?" After the joke, Steven changed the topic, "However, a vacation is indeed necessary. Only by relaxing and recharging can we accumulate more energy for the next departure. So, what are your plans now?" I mean vacation options..”
Gradually, Renly and Steven relaxed and began to enter chatting mode.
In fact, the conversation about work only lasted less than five minutes. Whether it was Steven or Renly, they both knew clearly that today was just an inquiry of intention, and there was still a long way to go before real cooperation. road.
There is no doubt that "Jurassic Park: Extinction" is a super blockbuster！
Times are changing. Nowadays, investment projects with US$300 million have gradually increased. Investment projects with US$100 million have gradually become the mainstream. The North American box office of US$100 million is no longer new and rare, and can only be regarded as standard configuration. Therefore, US$150 million The investment cost can be called a super blockbuster.
The reason for this measurement is based on the movie box office statistics of the past ten years. The most stable range of investment and income ratio is between 80 million and 150 million. If it is below or above this range, the risk will be It’s going to get intense – of course, the higher the risk, the higher the potential for both losses and gains.
Therefore, the level and specifications of a super blockbuster with more than 150 million yuan will be different, and the operation and planning will also be completely different.
Now, Universal Pictures is preparing to restart the "Jurassic Park" project. The cost budget is 150 million, and the treatment must be adjusted accordingly. What's more, this is Universal Pictures, the stingiest and most cautious Hollywood. Universal Pictures.
You can simply compare the investment ratio of super blockbusters by the six major Hollywood film companies in the past three years.：
Disney has twelve films, Warner Bros. has ten, Paramount has seven, Sony Pictures has four, 20th Century Fox has three, and Universal has three.
Overall, the decline of 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures is extremely obvious, but the former invested in "Avatar" and showed excellent courage; while the latter's three super blockbusters are "Robin Hood" and "Snow White". "Hunter" and "Super Battleship", all three works were rushed to the street, and they were rushed to the point of vomiting blood..
Against this background, Universal Pictures is more cautious than in previous years when launching any super blockbuster project..
From project establishment to casting to cooperation, the whole process is extremely long and may last one to two years. Whether the cast lineup formed at the beginning can be continued completely when filming officially starts is a big question. Question marks, let alone actors, even relatively fixed positions such as directors, screenwriters, and producers are full of unknowns.
As Steven said, it is extremely difficult to start filming within this year.
This is Renly's first real super blockbuster - the investment in "Fast and Furious 5" and "Edge of Tomorrow" has not reached such a standard, so regardless of whether the final cooperation can be successful, this is a one-time Quite an interesting experience.
In addition, Renly is also very interested in the polishing process of scripts and characters. When filming "Fast and Furious 5" and "Edge of Tomorrow", Renly put forward some opinions of his own among the crew, regardless of whether they would end up being adopted, but the directors and producers of the crew were open to various possibilities, which also added a lot of fun to the collaboration process..
So, what about this time?？
Moreover, the cooperation partner is Universal Pictures, which makes it even more interesting..
To be honest, Renly is somewhat looking forward to the next development direction..
……
“Huh, I haven’t queued up for a long time. Now I seem to be getting older and have lost some patience..”
“Are you sure it's not because of the increase in status and net worth?？”
Faced with Renly's joking retort, Barry Meyer was stunned for a moment, then spread his hands and admitted the accusation frankly. However, he did not become angry, but fired back jokingly, "It seems that your attack power tonight is also the same." Is it bullish? Could it be because of the same reason?？”
Renly pursed his lips, his eyes flickered slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of pride, but more of it was cunning, "How can I still enjoy such treatment after leaving this land? I am enjoying such privileges now, and I ensure that I can provide Leave some bragging rights in the future.”
Barry raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile flowed from the depths of his eyes. This is why he likes to talk to Renly. The wisdom and calmness in his gestures reveal his unique temperament..
Of course, now all can be explained as the status of "hereditary nobles".
“Obviously, your goal has been achieved." Barry said directly, raising the champagne in his hand and saluting, "Tonight, everyone wants to visit Renly Hall. After all, on such an occasion, Seeing Renly in the movie is definitely a rare thing. If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next one will be..”
“Maybe, next year? "Renly's final tone was slightly raised, but the teasing and ridicule in his words came out with satisfaction. It was obviously a rhetorical question that he knew he was asking. It was simple and clear, but meaningful, and successfully made Barry smile again..
The conversation with Steven ended forty minutes ago.
After Steven left, the crowd around Renly had never been deserted. Sometimes there were at least two people, and at most there were more than a dozen people, coming and going, back and forth, and bustling. He just needed to sit on the sofa casually. , this corner can easily become the focus of the audience.
It wasn't until Barry appeared that the noise around him calmed down a little..
In a sense, Barry saved Renly.
