Spielberg smiled bitterly after hearing this.
After all, it is Xiang Nan who is actually willing to spend one to two hundred million dollars to make his wife happy.
If it were another person, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such courage.
At least not himself. His current wife is also an artist and has starred in the heroine of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but he never thought of spending tens or even hundreds of millions to make his wife the heroine (he only married her after filming the movie) matter).
…
Filming of "The Instant Universe" then began.
Zeng Chang and Shu Chang received invitations and both came to Hollywood.
Zeng Qiang and Shu Chang were very happy to be able to film here.
Xiangjiang movies have been in decline for more than ten years. Although Zeng Chang still makes movies, he has not made high-quality movies for a long time.
For an old actor who is pursuing an acting career, not having a good movie to film is no less uncomfortable than being a glutton who drinks plain porridge every day.
He has already read the script of "The Instant Universe". Although he doesn't understand it very well, he believes it is a good script.
And Shu Chang is even happier.
Although she debuted early and filmed many movies, she was always tepid.
This probably has something to do with her personality. She just doesn't like competition or hype. She spends her free time reading, traveling, and staying at home.
Unlike some artists, when they have free time, they go around attending wine parties and dances, building relationships, going through the back door, and seeking superiority.
After the news of taking the role in this drama came out, she immediately became the focus of the mainland media and her exposure increased greatly.
Firstly, "The Instant Universe" stars Xiang Nan, with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars. It is an out-and-out large-scale production; secondly, Zhang Ziyi, Huang Shengyi, and Maggie Q Zhuyu are among the first, and they all rely on their starring roles in Xiang Nan's movies. , only then officially became famous internationally.
Therefore, if Shu Chang appears in this movie, he will definitely become as popular as them.
Therefore, many advertisers have invited her to accept endorsements, many magazines have invited her to be on the cover, many TV stations have invited her to appear on shows, and many crews have even booked her in advance... all in order to gain her popularity.
This also makes her the most envied person among mainland female stars.
Others want to get the opportunity to film in Hollywood, but they don't know how much effort and sacrifice they have to make. But Shu Chang dropped a big pie into his mouth out of thin air.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other.
…
At the end of August, the filming of "Instant Universe" officially started.
At the same time, Universal Pictures is also releasing the movie "Ghost Rider" starring Chace Crawford, Lyndsy Fonseca, etc., which tells the story of the male protagonist Johnny Blaze being attacked by the hell demon Morpheus. He sold his soul to become the Ghost Rider due to Tor's deception, helping the Lord of Hell to harvest sinful souls, and finally relied on the power of the Ghost Rider to crush the evil plan of the Witch Heart.
The original "Ghost Rider" starred Nicolas Cage. Cage was also an avid fan of the superhero and even had a tattoo of Ghost Rider on his body.
But Cage's salary is really too expensive, 30 million US dollars and box office dividends. Considering that "Ghost Rider" will require at least three individual and three group movies, Universal Pictures cannot afford such a high salary.
Therefore, the newly popular youngster Chace Crawford was chosen to star. He played Nat Archibald in "Gossip Girl" and was loved by fans because of his handsome appearance.
The female lead was Lyndsy Fonseca, who became famous for her role in the American TV series "Nikita". Beautiful appearance and sweet smile.
Ghost Rider is one of the most popular characters in Marvel comics.
Firstly, because his fire-breathing skull shape is really cool and very attractive to readers; secondly, Ghost Rider is an anti-hero. Although he does things to eliminate violence and bring peace, he often causes a lot of trouble. .
This kind of character that is both good and evil is naturally more popular than a good guy.
The original "Ghost Rider" was actually not very well shot. There were too many foreshadowing scenes, which resulted in little time for subsequent scenes to unfold.
There was no time to explain things like why the witch-in-heart demon competed for the scroll of St. Vincent, and why Mephisto deceived the male protagonist. Especially the three subordinates of the Witch Heart Demon, the wind demon, the water demon, and the earth demon, were really retarded to die, so Xiang Nan made adjustments when writing the script.
It speeds up the pace of the movie and adds fighting scenes, making the whole movie look more exciting and entertaining.
Sure enough, after such adjustments, "Ghost Rider" achieved quite good box office results.
The domestic box office in the United States was US$180 million, and the global box office was nearly US$400 million. For a movie starring a newcomer and with an investment of only $80 million, this movie can be considered a great success.
…
In September, Universal Pictures released "Jurassic Park 5."
In this film, mankind finally found the key to solving the dinosaur crisis, and the future of mankind has dawned again. But for ambitious people, this is terrible news.
So around this key point, humans, careerists and dinosaurs once again competed.
The "Jurassic Park" series has been filmed so far, but it actually has nothing to do with the original work. Just like the "Resident Evil" series, the movies and games have completely different stories except for the same names.
The disadvantage of this is that the movie will not be recognized by fans of the original work, but the advantage is that it can get rid of the constraints of the original work and make a more imaginative adaptation.
The script of "Jurassic Park 5" was jointly compiled by the screenwriting department of Universal Pictures, so the storytelling is still guaranteed.
Just like the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, even if the story becomes more cliche, the story is still there, the rhythm is still very smooth, and every one of them is a qualified popcorn work.
Coupled with the gorgeous special effects and grand scenes, as well as the good reputation established by the previous films, they can often achieve good box office results.
The same is true for "Jurassic Park 5". A qualified story coupled with gorgeous visual effects can achieve very good box office results.
The final North American box office was US$180 million, and the global box office exceeded US$400 million. For this movie with an investment of only 100 million US dollars, it is already a pretty good result.
Therefore, "Jurassic Park 6" is on the schedule again. In this one, humans will truly end the dinosaur scourge, and the "Jurassic Park" series will also come to an end.
In fact, after filming this series of movies, it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. Because the story of dinosaurs has almost been written, and if we continue to shoot, we will not be able to write a good story. We can only overdraw the IP.
In this case, it is better to stop. Wait ten or twenty years later, when this generation of viewers has aged, before announcing a reboot. In Hollywood, many movie companies do this.
And "Jurassic Park" is already pretty good.
From the early 1990s to now, nearly 20 years of filming, every film has achieved good box office, which is really rare.
There are few similar examples in the history of Hollywood movies.
