070 Good opportunity breaks out
It's actually "The Amazing Spider-Man"! This is definitely a project beyond expectations.
What surprised Renly was not "The Amazing Spider-Man" itself, but that Sony Pictures actually announced the opportunity to perform in such a top-notch work so generously and opened all actors to participate. This is definitely news that is enough to cause a sensation in Hollywood. , no wonder Lisa was so mysterious just now.
As we all know, "Spider-Man" released in 2002 was of epoch-making significance. It was not only the first film in film history to have a box office of over 100 million in its opening weekend, but it also reawakened the vitality of comic book-adapted movies, ushering in a new era of blockbusters. Realm - The coming of the Marvel Universe.
In the past few years, the "Spider-Man" trilogy has created many enviable records and is definitely one of the most successful series of movies in the 21st century. It can be said that the current "Spider-Man" is the most successful one on the market. The only superhero in the world who can rival Superman and Batman in terms of brand value, and even in terms of appeal among the younger generation, Spider-Man is still slightly ahead..
2007After "Spider-Man 3" ended successfully in 2016, Sony Pictures has never given up on the follow-up development of the series of movies. With the strong rise of "Iron Man", the plan for "Spider-Man 4" was naturally put forward. However, the director of the series, Sam-Raimi, believes that the series has lost its vitality and must be restarted instead of continuing to shoot sequels.
So, there’s “The Amazing Spider-Man””.
Generally speaking, top-level projects with an investment of more than 100 million are high-profile interest battlegrounds, and all resources are firmly in the hands of the five major brokerage companies. Just like "Thor", only a small group of people can really When exposed to these projects, the exchange of interests and the use of connections are the key to determining the cast lineup..
But now, Sony Pictures has generously announced the "Amazing Spider-Man" project, and it has also chosen the male and female protagonists.！
It is no exaggeration to say that the "Amazing Spider-Man" project is enough to attract any young actor to join, with an investment of 230 million, the success of the previous series, the strong support of Sony Pictures, and the much-anticipated attention... these It's enough to make the project the center of attention and make all the young actors come forward one after another..
In comparison, the entire size of "Thor" has shrunk by one size. Whether it is the investment amount or the work itself, it is simply incomparable. Not to mention Lisa, even those top agents who are accustomed to the big world are bound to There will be a surge.
Renly had to admit that this publicity strategy of Sony Pictures was indeed a good one. The filming of "The Amazing Spider-Man" has not yet started, and the news of the audition for the leading actor will inevitably cause major media to rush to report on it, which will pave the way for the film. The first shot of publicity.
As for the final selection of actors, it is estimated that it will still be made among the newcomers in the hands of big-name agents. For example, Andrew Garfield (Andrew Garfield) had the last laugh in the previous life. Sony Pictures earned enough attention and closed it again If you have enough interests, you can win with one fell swoop and be in an invincible position..
However, Renly rejected "Thor" and naturally had no interest in "The Amazing Spider-Man".
Firstly, it is because the essence of the two series of works is actually the same, there is not much difference. If Renly were to choose a superhero himself, he would be most interested in Deadpool from the "X-Men" series. , Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and Ant-Man in "Ant-Man", these superheroes with unique styles and eccentric swordsmanship are the most interesting, just like Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" Same.
Secondly, it's because "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a completely disappointing series. Sony Pictures was too eager to restart the series, so that the positioning and main line were not clear and clear, and the box office returns were difficult to impress. Satisfied, although there was no loss, only two films of the trilogy series were filmed. Sony Pictures took the initiative to stop it, cut it in half, and then re-cast younger high school student actors to start a new and more youthful "Spider-Man" series..
Therefore, giving up "Thor", Renly has no reason to choose "The Amazing Spider-Man"”.
Thinking of this, Renly felt a sense of absurdity. Now he was a newbie with nothing, but he was standing here picking and choosing, not to mention whether he was willing to play the role of "Thor" or "The Amazing Spider". "Thor", in fact, "Thor" only gave him an audition opportunity. Even if he participated in the audition, he may not be selected. Under the current situation, he is the party waiting to be selected, not The party with the option.
Renly pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile. This was good. They looked down on him and he looked down on them..
Looking away from "The Amazing Spider-Man", Renly browsed the bulletin board carefully..
In fact, Renly likes to browse the bulletin board of the Screen Actors Guild very much, because he can always see countless information on this small bulletin board, and refer to the memories of his previous life to search for information. Not only does he have "The Amazing Spider-Man", " Big projects like "Super 8" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", as well as many independent films that have never been heard of, are also a side of Hollywood that is unknown to the public..
In fact, Hollywood can only release less than 600 movies in theaters every year. Taking the past 2009 as an example, there were only 520 movies in theaters or on demand, trial screenings or public screenings throughout the year. Eleven films; in addition, there are art theaters in North America and continental Europe, which specialize in showing niche and unpopular works of art. However, the operation of art theaters is very difficult, and the number of screens is also very limited. Only a few can win screening opportunities every year. Just about a hundred books.
So, what about other film projects? There are more than 2,000 film projects registered every year, or even more. More than half of them cannot be released in theaters. They either go directly to the DVD distribution route, or choose to upload them on the Internet, or Stacked in the corner gathering dust.
This is the true face of Hollywood. The glamor under the spotlight is just the tip of the iceberg. Darkness occupies a wider world..
Now Renly is standing in the dark world groping. The "Pacific War" has only lit up a weak candle. If he wants to illuminate the whole world, there is still a long road waiting ahead..
Without the filtering and filtering of the agent, Renly was looking for a needle in a haystack in the guild. It was not easy to find a suitable project. Even though Renly had the advantage of being reborn, the bulletin board in front of him was so dazzling that it still made people feel uncomfortable. It's so hard to pick out, not to mention those actors who don't have this advantage? Therefore, Lisa couldn't help but suggest that Renly had better seize the opportunity of the "Pacific War" and find a suitable agent so that his career can start quickly..
Seeing the last corner of the bulletin board, a huge amount of information quickly slipped from the gap like gravel. Another day of futile search. Renly pursed his lips slightly. Whenever this time, he would also question whether his persistence was enough. It's useless work, if you agree to Andy Rogers' invitation to sign a contract, if you agree to the invitation to audition for "Thor", if……
etc..
Renly's pupils shrank, and his eyes fell on the white chalk words in the corner..
The so-called white chalk writing is the most common type of work in the Screen Actors Guild: uncertain investment cost, generally speaking, it is likely to be an independent production of less than one million US dollars; uncertain investment company, generally not officially registered The information company may be a small capital that has just been established, it may be a project established by raising funds independently, or it may be a small foreign company; I am not sure about the actor's salary, generally speaking it will not be too high, even for the protagonist, one hundred thousand The salary is also estimated to be high; I am not sure about the shooting period, generally speaking it is possible from one week to one year.……
For a simple example, a recent college student who just graduated from the film school won a scholarship of US$100,000 from a certain foundation. He wanted to shoot a film in which he wrote the script and directed the film. He successfully went through official channels and submitted the registration application. After the information is officially reviewed by the Screen Actors Guild, you can then submit the formal actor hiring information..
Such information is written in white chalk.
This kind of work is often the most focused project for fledgling actors and fourth- to eighteenth-tier actors. If you are unlucky and shoot a super bad movie, you can at least get a few thousand dollars in remuneration and pay the rent. , you can also declare to the outside world "I am an actor who has been on camera"; if you are lucky, you can shoot a good work, maybe you can go to the Sundance Film Festival, no matter what the feedback is , this is a qualitative leap for new actors.
Compared to a far-fetched project like "The Amazing Spider-Man," a project written in white chalk is much more approachable..
Of course, the white chalk lettering project is a gamble. Many times they can't see the script at all, they can only hear a basic concept, and they can't judge the quality of the work, so they can only bite the bullet and go into battle..
Such a big gamble is simply more exciting than the Russian Roulette Wheel. Unless they are desperate, most actors are not willing to try it easily. Otherwise, like Penny in "The Big Bang Theory", starring in a terrible R-rated movie, that is A stain that will never be erased in a lifetime.
However, when Renly saw this row of white chalk words, adrenaline began to burst out continuously. The uncontrollable excitement gurgled in his lungs, as if boiling water had reached the boiling point, and big blisters began to form. When it surfaces, it may explode at any time. The slightly contracted pupils slowly bloomed, and the light deep in the eyes became brighter and brighter..
Renly knew that the project he had been looking for had finally appeared again! It’s not because this work can be as eye-catching as “Thor”, it’s not because this work can be collaborated with Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks like “The Pacific”, and it’s not because this work can be Sweeping the crowd at the year-end awards ceremony, but because this work can realize his dream, his dream of being an actor！
The line of white chalk words clearly read: "Buried alive"”.
