669. Chapter 669 The 669th summer file battle
Li Xiaole's high-profile declaration made the executives and producers of the six major players in the audience crooked their mouths, and it was hard to hide their indignation. No matter what public occasions, every time this Chinese bastard appears, all the focus will be on him. Unexpectedly, no matter what others have come this time, they still blatantly promoted his new film at the end of the year, which made everyone depressed and helpless...
This also made every producer of the six majors in the audience feel angry and must suppress the thorn of the Black Pearl Company. The six majors will inevitably not allow the emerging players in the Black Pearl industry to continue to grow.
After the MTV awards ceremony, fans across the United States were discussing the same thing, "Li Xiaole will release an Indian movie at the end of the year~~Strike the Oscar~~" Many people were surprised. How could Li Xiaole, who has achieved great success in commercial films, suddenly transform? Does he really want to become the "king of directors" mentioned by Stallone?
And what kind of theme is this so-called Indian-themed art film? A big theme like "The Legend of Gandhi"? Or something else... It seems that all movie fans have no concept of stories about that distant and ancient country, and they are really a little unfamiliar with... Will Oscars accept such strange stories? In the history of American film, no pure Indian film has achieved great success.
All these questions can only be answered until the end of the year... But those eyes that are truly hostile to Black Pearl Company have already received this news early when Li Xiaole submitted an application for a script to the Drama Council a few months ago. They are already prepared...
Weinstein, the Hollywood ace producer in the UK, has already started to deploy his own plans with Sony early on against Li Xiaole, their common mortal enemy...
Of course, fans don’t care about the stories behind these Christmas movies. They are more concerned about the summer battle in front of them. The box office battle between the Six Major and Black Pearl has officially begun.
This summer vacation is not completely without Li Xiaole. Although he did not participate directly, whether it is Captain America or Invincible Hulk, the name executive-pnoducen (planning and producer) with Li Xiaole can be found in his cast list.
From the start of "Iron Man" last year to today, the production of "Invincible Hulk" and "Captain America" has been a long way to go, with the production and promotional costs of 190 million and 180 million respectively.
Captain America has launched the visual effects art director who was once the Star Wars movie series, filmed "The Brave Game", directed by Joe Zhuans, a senior director of "Jurassic Park 3", and starred by "Evil Forces"'s muscular handsome guy Jansson Ax.
Sebastian Stan and Hayley Atwell were also invited as the main supporting roles, with two super veteran actors, Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weiwen, and the lineup was powerful.
Compared with Captain America, "The Invincible Hulk" is obviously more important to the Black Pearl Company, because compared to the new film newcomer Jason Ax, who is the "Captain America", the "Hulk" of American superstar George Clooney can better represent the true strength of Black Pearl.
In addition, "Iron Man" Tom Cruise personally served as the producer and made a guest appearance in the film's Easter Egg. At the same time, action star "Bulle" Johnson was invited to be the biggest villain in the film, "Hate" Emil Brownsky, and Chinese actress IE Q was the heroine, Oscar winner Philip Hoffman played the "General" as the Green Leaf...
The team of "Invincible Hulk" was built by Li Xiaole for a long time. Although he is not an executive producer or a director, he is the real behind-the-scenes founder.
Unlike Captain America, this is not only a superhero movie, but also a character called Invincible Hulk Bruce Banner. The original Edward Norton plays "Invincible Hulk" looks more dark, but has no superhero charm at all, and this is exactly George Clooney's strength.
With Tom Cruise, who got the essence of Li Xiaole, George Clooney also played the true meaning of "Lonely Superhero", and his performance far surpassed the original Edward Norton version, making the Hulk's introverted and depressed and often self-deprecating multifaceted traits are more full, completely departing from the simple and split-minded image of the comic description.
The difficulty of this film is not only to shape Bruce Banner, but also includes the biggest selling points of superhero movies, and many exciting battle scenes.
In addition to gun battles, blasts, and pursuits in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, these Hollywood blockbusters are common in scenes, the most troublesome thing is that those extremely complex special effects scenes, you should know that "Invincible Hulk" is different from Iron Man and Captain America. After this character is transformed, it is not played by actors at all, but is made purely by computer special effects.
Because of Li Xiaole's suggestions and inspiration, George Clooney and Tom Cruise, as director and producer, abandoned the method of creating virtual characters with pure computer effects in Ang Lee's version, but instead adopted a more advanced full-body motion capture mode similar to "Gurl" in "The Lord of the Rings".
The result is that the "Hulk" produced by Black Pearl Company is made through a hybrid animation technology plus makeup and CGI supplement. It is produced by Black Sail Studio after merged with Apple=R&D. George Clooney provides all the motion capture modules, with 378 sets of facial action modules alone, and the whole body reaches the unprecedented '89 sets of modules for a single character, greatly surpassing the 890 sets of "Guru". The previous version of Ang Lee's "Hulk Hulk" was made by Industrial Light and Magic. The one who provides motion capture is Ang Lee himself, who only provides 12 sets of motion of the face.
In the most exciting final in the film, George Clooney and "The Rock" Johnson filmed their grand showdown between "Invincible Hulk" and "Hate" in the film on the same stage. They used motion capture and 37 digital cameras, which also made "Invincible Hulk" the first film to independently produce large-scale special effects since its birth, and is undoubtedly a milestone work by Black Pearl Company.
Heifan Studio made great efforts to do this. Guangguang traveled through three floors to complete the blood scattered by Bruce Banner and finally fell into a bottle. This set of scenes, Wu Wei led Heifan's technicians to spend more than a month...
Everyone in the Black Pearl Company is full of confidence in this movie~~~Tom Cruise and George Cruise are also looking forward to the response after the movie is released. Can Black Pearl Company achieve new success without the support of Li Xiaole, the "undefeated director"? With a wave of Li Xiaole's flag, the summer battle between the Black Pearl Company and the Six Majors is about to begin~~
At present, films such as "Monster Shrek 3", "Spider-Man 3", "Invisible Man" and "Rear Window" released in theaters continue to account for the rankings.
The main force in the cinema is now positioning "Shrek 3", which is suitable for children/teenagers/youngers, and "Spider-Man 3" and "Invisible Man" that withdraw from the main stage; and films such as "One Night Belly" and "Human Skin Inn" that only have less than a thousand theaters have been successful or failed, but they can no longer meet the sensory needs of young people and adults. "The Back Window Shock" is just struggling to move forward.
So starting from June 1, the situation was completely different. All companies have produced their highlights of the summer movies, Disney's ace series "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The Scene of the World", Warner Bros.'s "Thirteen Arhats", MGM's thriller "Mr. Brooks", and Lionsgate's horror film "Human Skin Inn 2", Sony's cartoon "Surf Penguin" has always made a comeback~~~
Who can win the 5 new films? Or will "Monster Shrek 3" win the box office last week be the champion?
Originally, in the expectations of movie fans, "Invincible Hulk" released this week with the halo of Li Xiaole + Tom Cruise + George Cruise, which should be a big hit, but "Spider-Man 3" of the same type has just been hit, and the audience is already a little aesthetically exhausted. The failure of George Clooney's former "Batman and Robin" has also made the current "Invincible Hulk" not favored by critics.
What's even more fatal is that Black Pearl only has one-fourth of the theater distribution strength. In the overwhelming publicity of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The World's Scene", the exposure of "Invincible Hulk" has been minimized. At the same time, Warner took out "Thirteen Arhats" starring George Clooney, which obviously means to fight against Black Pearl...
In this melee of powerful films, no one can answer this question whether "Invincible Hulk" can stand out.
On June 1, these six new films were fully released in North America. "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The Lens of the World" was released in 3,025 theaters, with a super screen volume of nearly 10,000 yuan. In contrast, "Invincible Hulk" is only half of his, with 5,190 yuan on screen...
Which movie is the best to watch?” In the ticket halls of cinemas and cities across North America, many couples who are on weekend dates are looking at the poster wall to make temporary choices, which may affect their mood choices throughout the night or even during the weekend.
