2116 Thanksgiving schedule
As Andy said, no one can say no to Renly.
Even if the director or producer is not originally interested in Renly, as long as Renly likes the role, he will fight for it with all his strength - if after trying his best, he still cannot reach a cooperation, then Renly can let go without regrets. At least he tried. But for now, there is no record of failure.
Ogos... didn't nod his head immediately, but he couldn't refuse it completely. He was a persistent director, and his stubbornness was no less stubborn than Renly's; but even so, Ogos had to admit that Renly was The thinking about the character really brought him a lot of inspiration and showed his unique quality as an actor..
In that meeting, from beginning to end, Renly never mentioned "I am the actor most suitable for the role" or "I sincerely hope to be able to star in this work", nor did he refute Oggoth's reasons for rejecting Andy. , but sincerely and attentively communicated their views on the script and the characters, and his professional attitude throughout the whole process impressed Ogus..
After the meeting was over, it was not difficult for Ogus to discover that Renly did not need to refute at all. The reasons he used to reject Andy were actually his presuppositions about the role of David. But if this presupposition was Incomplete, even wrong, so can he still refuse Renly?？
Ogus doesn’t know the answer yet..
He needs some time, some time to revise the script and re-imagine it, some time to determine the main line and improve the core, some time to go back and polish it, just like Renly's words, "You have to figure out, after watching the movie, , what emotion do you want the audience to feel, hope or despair?”.
He needs time.
What's more, even if Ogos has made up his mind and sincerely hopes that Renly will join, they still have many problems to face.：
Leaving aside the schedule, co-stars, producer power, etc., the salary is a very intuitive focus..
According to the original plan, the salary for hiring Jason Clark to play the leading role was only 300,000 US dollars. However, the replacement actors that Ogus is thinking about now all have a salary of less than 200,000 US dollars - Rachel Weisz , Ben Whishaw, Léa Seydoux and other actors are all regulars in independent films. Although they are famous, they are high-quality and cheap. As for Renly, Ogus is not sure..
Of course, there are a lot of rumors about Renly in the industry, and Renly has indeed appeared in many independent art films, and salary has never been an issue; but it must be noted that all of these things happened before 2014！
At the beginning of this year, "Rogue One" and "Jurassic World" signed contracts with Renly, and successively set new salary benchmarks in the industry, making Renly truly the first in the industry; now, if " "The Lobster" is Renly's first literary work after that, so how should he be paid?？
one million dollars？
This sounds a bit outrageous. But if it is higher, Ouges is not willing to do it, because the investment for the entire film is only four million euros, a quarter of which is used to pay the actors' salaries and the crew's behind-the-scenes work. Between personnel remuneration and supporting actors' fees, etc., he really didn't have much left for Renly..
In a sense, Oggs does dislike Renly for being too famous..
All in all, the cooperation between Renly and "Lobster" has not yet been decided. In the next period of time, further consideration will be needed to find a suitable solution..
Whether it is the original planned "Rogue One" or the newly planned "The Lobster", it is impossible for them to start filming in October. October is originally Renly's short vacation..
Renly first returned to New York and appeared at the New York Film Festival; then went to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he saw Anne Silliman and other little ones again after a long absence; and then went to visit with the Heather Cross Foundation Several hospitals to visit children who are seriously ill.
In addition, Renly also took a break and went to Banff National Park in Canada, where he spent a week camping, hiking, rock climbing, etc., truly staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city, allowing his mind to settle, and temporarily leaving everything behind. ——Including "Lobster", including performances, including London, all are left in the bustling traffic of the city, simply enjoying the good time between oneself and nature..
If work hadn't struck him again, Renly would have been happy to stay in the national park for a while. The golden autumn in October is the most gorgeous and charming period of time for Canada's red maples. Walking through it is like wandering through an oil painting. It's so beautiful that it makes you forget about Shu..
Red, yellow, and green are all mixed together, spreading gorgeously and flamboyantly in every corner of the sight, and then spread out in a mighty way, just like flames blooming all over the mountains and plains, and then those gray, black, cyan and blue In this way, the whole world becomes brighter little by little, and the whole world is reminiscent of an overturned paint tray, but it creates an irreplaceable masterpiece. Who can refuse it?？
If possible, Renly would be happy to disappear here for a month, truly open his arms, embrace nature, and enjoy life; but unfortunately, Renly still has to return to the city, because Thanksgiving is coming, and the "Super Marines" Premieres are calling.
After the summer season ended, the North American market entered the most deserted autumn season of the year, but obviously, this year's season is a little abnormal..
There were many large-scale productions of Waterloo in the summer season, but the overall market performance was still slightly lower than expected; while in the autumn season, many topical films unexpectedly appeared, and the box office level and discussion enthusiasm for the entire period created a moderate New highs, causing consternation in North America.
The first is another work in the boom of adapted novels for teenagers, "Maze Runner". The male protagonist is played by Dylan-O'Brein, who became famous with the TV series "Teen Wolf", which unexpectedly set off a big hit. Screen, although the media reputation is only hovering on the edge of passing, the box office data is very impressive.：
It easily topped the list with 32 million US dollars in its opening weekend. The cumulative box office has reached 98 million and is about to break 100 million. For a youth movie with an investment cost of only 34 million and no big-name stars. , the results are really good; at the same time, it has also triggered a lot of discussions on social networks, and many actors with child star backgrounds have once again become the hot focus - don't forget, this is still a deserted autumn season.
Then the middleweight action movie "The Vengeance" starring Denzel Washington became a moderate hit, and the box office data was a small surprise compared to the autumn release; but the real focus came Halloween schedule.
"Gone Girl" directed by David Fincher and starring Ben Affleck, has become a hit both in word-of-mouth and at the box office. With unparalleled discussion on social networks, the overall box office performance in the market easily surpassed "The Social Network", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" won the first place in their opening weekend, grossing US$137 million in just five weeks of release, which has become the highest box office of David's career. works.
More importantly, this work has already entered the awards season horizon early.
"Annabelle", a spin-off of the "Conjuring" series, also performed well. It was closely tied with "Gone Girl" during its opening weekend, and ended up in second place with less than $400,000 behind. Although the subsequent trend was still like a horror movie After all, it has not been able to keep up with the pace of "Gone Girl", but its income of US$8,000 so far, compared to the ultra-low production cost of US$6.5 million, has made a profit.
What's more, the box office performance in overseas markets is also very gratifying..
Then, the low-budget action movie "John Wick" unexpectedly exploded the reputation of the media. Last year, Keanu Reese was basically considered to have ruined his career as an actor because his two works "Tai Chi" and "47 Ronin" suffered such losses that he vomited blood. Weiss, who starred in this work for a very low salary——
Because one of the two directors, Chad-Stahelski, had been Keanu's stuntman as early as the "Speed" period, and they had a good relationship with him. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a turning point in Keanu's career. , has made a comeback, and after word-of-mouth exploded, the box office also gave a small surprise..
The autumn season, which was once so deserted that no one cared about it, failed despite its supposed success. Universal Pictures invested US$70 million to create "The First Year of Dracula" and it was a mess, with Robert Downey Jr. leading the film. The starring "Judge Daddy" also made a splash; but this year, there have been many works that triggered discussions, giving September and October a completely different scene, which is indeed very rare..
There is no doubt that last year's "Gravity" was the key to turning the whole situation around, and now Hollywood studios are beginning to develop more schedule effects throughout the year..
However, in the last week of October, the market was still relatively deserted. "Death Divination" won the championship with a weekend box office of 10 million US dollars the week after its release. The cumulative box office in the two weeks of release was 34 million, compared with 5 million. Investment can also be regarded as a small profit - allowing Universal Pictures to reduce some losses.
In addition to "Death Divination", the newly released works "Before I Fall Asleep" and "Saw 10th Anniversary" are all on the street. The former stars Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth, Mark Si Mark-Strong (Mark-Strong) starred in the three leading roles; the latter was a special screening held on the 10th anniversary of the release of "Chain Saw". All seven series of movies were re-screened for one week, but unfortunately, the market did not give enough reaction.
The entire market seems to have returned to the normal rhythm of the autumn season, which is extremely boring. This is all for a reason, because next week the North American market will usher in the first blockbuster work of the holiday season, "Super Marines", which is not only about to The program that announces the holiday season also marks the end of the autumn season.——
"Big Hero Marines", with an investment cost of 165 million, is undoubtedly Disney's seed player to dominate the family box office market at the end of each year. Other film works have retreated to avoid it..
