Chapter 733 [Big Rock] Dwayne Johnson
Warner Headquarters.
Qin Dong and Barry were walking and talking...
At this time, a group of people came out from upstairs. The key was that there was someone familiar to Qin Dong.
Yeah, someone who looked familiar in his previous life.
"So many people, are...?"
With his mind spinning, Qin Dong deliberately stopped and looked at the group of people while deliberately asking Barry.
"This group of people..."
Barry followed Qin Dong's gaze, thought for a while and said:
"Well, the actors and directors of Warner Bros.'s upcoming new movie [Collapse] have gathered together today to finalize it, and they will start filming in a few days."
Warner Bros. has a huge business and shoots countless movies every year.
Barry is not a clerk, he is the president of Warner.
So I have to think about it, and this is because the cost of this movie is exactly 100 million, which is considered a blockbuster movie, so that Barry can recall it.
"[Doomsday]... looks like a special effects blockbuster."
Qin Dong knew what kind of movie it was when he heard it, but he said so on the surface.
He looked at a strong man among the group of people.
Most of the people in the group are between 160 and 180 meters tall, but there is a person who is over 190 meters tall. This person is also very strong, and it really makes people pay attention to each other at a glance.
[If I remember correctly, this movie was released in 2015, and it is only about to start shooting in April 2014. It took several months to shoot, and it took more than half a year to do special effects and post-production. From the start of shooting to the release, it took more than a year.
,almost.】
[This is the beginning of the rise of Dwayne Johnson, the protagonist of this movie...]
After watching it for a few times, Qin Dong stopped looking and had no interest in getting to know this upcoming action star.
Follow Barry and continue walking towards the Warner Props Department.
But Qin Dong's heart started to growl.
With Qin Dong's status, no matter what level of superstar he is, he is not qualified for Qin Dong to take the initiative to get to know him.
Furthermore, no matter what level of superstar you are or how real your talent is, it all depends on your performance.
Take Dwayne Johnson, indeed starting from 2014... In just a few years, he has become the new leader of global action movies and a superstar.
But how much water is in it remains to be discussed.
Fame, well, because of Dwayne Johnson's background, he is a native of Hollywood, so his fame is really great.
Otherwise, why would he become the world's number one action star in just a few years?
Look at Jason Statham. After years of hard work, he is still only the male lead in B-level movies.
What’s the real record?
Qin Dong walked and thought.
It seems that even ten years later... box office data of movies starring Dwayne Johnson:
Among the top six, four movies are series movies, that is "Fast and Furious", but it is a pity that Dwayne Johnson only plays a supporting role.
[Fast and Furious 7] has a box office of 1.5 billion, ranking first in the box office list of all movies starring Dwayne Johnson.
The second is [Super 8] 1.2 billion.
Third place [Fast 6] 790 million.
Fourth place [Game of the Brave: Battle in the Jungle] 700 million.
Fifth place [Moana] 640 million, the key is that this is an animated movie, Dawn is just a voiceover.
Sixth place... Well, it's still [Fast and Furious], this time it's the fifth one, with a box office of 630 million.
The seventh place... is the one that Barry just mentioned [Collapse], with a box office figure of 470 million.
Yes, seventh place fell below US$500 million.
[Doomsday Collapse] Did you make money? Yes, you made a lot of money.
The cost is 100 million, and the global box office is 470 million. The box office alone is a lot of profit, not to mention offline, copyright and other income.
But time... After 2014, movies with a global box office of billions of dollars appeared one after another...
Dwayne Johnson, a global action movie superstar who is about to rise during this period of time, has box office data of less than 500 million US dollars...
Famous, really famous.
Actually...maybe it's hard to be famous...
[The only movie that can be watched is the movie with a box office of 700 million in the future.]
Thinking of this, Qin stretched his hands back and shouted:
"Army, mobile phone."
Zheng Dajun serves as Qin Dong's personal bodyguard. Unless Qin Dong enters other people's offices, reception rooms, etc., they guard the door. At other times, they follow Qin Dong.
Upon hearing this, he immediately took out Qin Dong's cell phone and handed it over.
"Martin, check it out for me. There is a novel called "Game of the Brave". It's more or less like this. You check for similar information. Go to my manor in the evening and I'll treat you to dinner."
Qin Dong ignored Barry's inquiring look and just took his cell phone, edited a text message and sent it out.
Recipient: CAA President Martin Bob.
I forgot about it when I couldn't remember it. Now that I saw the original male protagonist of the movie, Qin Dong suddenly remembered it.
Because these are not original movies, Qin Dong did not write them.
After all, the copyright of a movie adaptation, whether it is based on a game, novel, autobiography, etc., belongs to someone else.
So when Qin Dong remembered it, he immediately ordered Martin to check the information to see if the copyright had been sold.
If it's not sold, buy it.
If you sell it, the small company will raise the price and get it, which will only be liquidated damages at most.
Big company, look at which company.
Movies that make money should not be wasted.
It’s just that Qin Dong most likely won’t be able to take photos by himself.
[Lao Zhou can do it, this movie can make Lao Zhou famous. 】
Qin Dong thought this after sending the message and throwing the phone to the army.
A brother in the dormitory, reliable.
Qin Dongde continued to hold it, making the other party more famous.
...
Warner Props Department.
“The color is a bit too dark...”
"Barry, this can't work."
Qin Dong looked at each prop and costume carefully, and in the end he was very dissatisfied.
"Barry, you need to know the background of this movie and how it was planned in DC Comics. The brightness of the background is already a bit dark..."
"With the colors of these props and the background, will the movie screen look so dark and scary?"
"Then there's no need to see any special effects."
Regardless of the fact that Barry was an old friend, Qin Dong had to say a few more words.
"...it seems so."
After hearing this, Barry looked carefully at the props and costumes of the supporting characters in the movie, and finally agreed with this point of view.
"The colors have all been changed and will be sent to my computer when the time comes. I will check it out on the computer first and be satisfied with it, and then take the time to see the actual effect."
Qin Dong said the last word with certainty, and his tone was so sure that no one could doubt it.
This is Qin Dong’s director-level power.
"Okay, Qin, I will let the props department make corrections according to your requirements."
Barry didn't refuse. Anyway, it didn't cost much to modify the props.
All for the DC superhero universe movie, let alone this small amount of money, even if it really costs several million more, or even more, Barry would be happy.
Even Warner's board of directors is willing to spend more money.
As long as everything in the movie goes according to their expectations, it will be in line with Marvel next door.
Then...the money will come in a steady stream, and that's the big deal.
"And Barry..."
Qin Dong walked to the props, pointed at one of the props and costumes and said:
"This costume doesn't work..."
"In my imagination, this is one of the seven kingdoms under the sea...the costume of the queen of the mermaid kingdom."
"A mermaid must be sexy."
"Do you think this costume can meet this requirement?"
After looking at it for a few times, Barry shook his head.
Qin Dong walked a few steps, pointed to another piece of clothing and said:
"and this..."
"Barry, in my script design..."
"Seven kingdoms under the sea, in the plot of the movie, only two kingdoms are queens."
"In other kingdoms, men are kings."
"Except for the Mermaid Kingdom, this is the only one..."
"For this piece of clothing, I want it to be grand and represent the queen's noble temperament."
"Look, Barry, how do I feel like this dress is so cheap..."
"It's like begging for food..."
Barry's mouth twitched when he heard this.
Although this dress did not satisfy Barry himself.
But it's definitely not as shabby as Qin Dong said.
"Oh, dear Qin, stop talking."
Afraid that Qin Dong would belittle him again and say something too unpleasant, Barry quickly interrupted:
"I will ask the props department to redesign all the costumes..."
"Ask them to send the information to your email address."
"It all depends on your point of view."
Although the movie is adapted from DC comics, Barry knows that comics are comics and movies are movies.
The two are related, but in many places, there is no need to follow the requirements of the comics.
The specific grasp, of course, depends on the director of the film.
"Okay, that's all."
Qin Dong's complaint was interrupted, so he could only show mercy. He originally wanted to complain:
"Tell them to be careful."
"My patience is completely gone after watching it this time."
It's just that Qin Dong is not a patient person when facing these foreigners.
Qin Dong was very dissatisfied and disappointed with the props and costumes designed this time.
At this moment, we must wake up and let the other side and Warner internally rectify and urge themselves.
"Okay, I'll tell Chris."
Barry heard this and said.
Chris is the director of Warner's props department.
Barry understood Qin Dong's character and knew he had to give him good advice.
Otherwise, Qin Dong will be troubled all the time. This Chinese man has a very bad temper.
Who in Hollywood doesn't know that Qin Dong is on the set, but he has the same temperament as James Cameron.
They all have super hot tempers, and they scold the actors bloody at every turn.
Chapter completed!
