Chapter 103 Lively Casting

Chapter 103 Lively Casting

Now that Agent Bean is moved out, it is obviously intended to pack Rowan Atkinson. I really don’t understand why a schoolmaster likes to be an actor. Wouldn’t it be good to study the origin of black holes.

The guy who laughs at himself with an IQ of only 007 is actually a top student, and the idea of ​​the ghost is really funny. Since you like to be an actor, why do you still study science and engineering.

White Films is no longer what it used to be. The casting this time is very lively. Although it is not as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, many people still plan to try their luck.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is a big production, and their preparations are more troublesome than William White's. In fact, their script has not yet been completed, and the start time may be after June.

Don't expect it to come out this year, or even if it's finished, unless you're trying to beat Home Alone for Christmas.

Lucas is crazy to do this, even if he wins, it's meaningless, and he has no enmity with Meidao.

It's even more ridiculous to be coerced by others. In the current Star Wars, there is no need to ignore it. Who would offend such a great god?

Regardless of the fact that the distribution is handed over to Paramount, in fact, they don't get much benefit.

No one knows how to position William White's film. You say it is a low-budget film, and after adding the cost of publicity and distribution, it is also over ten million.

In this era, tens of millions of dollars is not a small production, at least it is a general type of movie, and more than 20 million dollars is a big production.

The most speechless thing is his box office, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit lofty. Before he hit the street, no one regarded his movies as small productions.

In terms of time, there is a real possibility of a collision between the two films. Mystery's business trip has already reached the late stage of filming. According to the speed of White Pictures, it is basically the summer vacation.

The Christmas film has Home Alone, and it is still in the filming stage. It is impossible for Agent Bean to go to the Christmas film. This is a scene of cannibalism.

Since they are all scheduled for next summer, it is inevitable that Mars will hit the earth. Fortunately, the two are not hostile, so it will be good to delay the release time.

William White thought differently. The premiere of this film will be held in London, so as to maximize the benefits.

The changes in film distribution are far from simple. Everyone determines the purchase price based on the box office in North America.

What do you mean by drawing on Europe first?

How the hell is this priced?

William White can't control so much, and his subordinates must follow his wishes. The painting will start in London on June 15, and the painting will start in North America a week later.

Normally, the summer slot starts on June 1st, and if Lucas is not stupid, he may be slightly earlier, so that there is a gap of one month between the two films.

These two companies have a tacit understanding, but other companies are very big-headed, and no one will have good results if they touch anyone. They don't want to try this kind of survival scenario.

For Hollywood's Pujie, White Films is like a holy land. There are too many people who become famous overnight here, let's just say that black buddy and little boy, the advertisements are all soft.

Today's White Films is not the original company. Its current movies are worth tens of millions, and the salary is still good in all aspects.

Such a complicated casting work, of course, does not need the boss to do it himself, it is good to hire a casting director, he only needs to check the final check.

There was a problem with the plot setting of the first Agent Bean. It was not bad at the beginning. The gangsters reimbursed all the intelligence agencies. The weakest agent went into battle, and the plot later collapsed. Although the crown symbolizes royal power, it does not mean steal You can be a queen if you have this thing, I really can't understand John Bull's joke.

William White decided to modify it. Rescuing the kidnapped queen is good. This thing is obviously more reliable than destroying the throne. Although it is decided to premiere in London, the main market is North America. Your cool point must make the old beauty happy. .

John Bull, who was hanging out in Hollywood, ushered in the spring, and William White planned to make a British-style comedy.

The Hollywood film companies are a little confused. This guy's style is really uncertain. Why did he change to the British style?

John Bull comedy?

Are you sure you won't freeze the audience to death?

It is an indisputable fact that there is no market for British-style cold jokes in Hollywood. Directors who have tried similarly have basically all failed.

The guys who rely on the old and sell the old dare not express their opinions. Those damn reporters are not good people. This is to nail them to the pillar of shame forever.

The shooting budget this time is very large, and the shooting cycle is also very long, which is completely like a giant.

All of a sudden, other film companies had an illusion. Could it be that the previous quick shooters were all illusions, and that step-by-step is the normal state of others.

William White's game is innovation. He doesn't want to be a rule breaker. Hollywood has its mode of operation. This set of things is very mature. It's fine for Xiao Guicao to do as he pleases, so why bother.

Well, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui couldn’t translate it. It’s just four Chinese characters. If you want to explain it clearly, it’s probably a short story.

This is where the charm of Chinese characters lies. When you go to Hollywood to test the waters, you must not have too many dialogues. Idioms are absolutely not allowed. Unless you want to engage in voice-overs, the old beauty will definitely be in the dark.

Leaving aside the preparations here, William White continued his own filming.

Compared with the chaotic neighborhoods of Greater Los Angeles, the filming here is very smooth, without too many passers-by. Many Hollywood movies are filmed here, and the reason is obvious. The security is good, the population is not too dense, and the location is highly recognizable, which will give the audience a good sense of substitution.

Of course, there are many shortcomings. The location shooting of Beverly is too expensive.

Although the police here are very cooperative, the fees are unambiguous. As long as you can pay enough US dollars, you don't need to find extras.

Lao Mei's extras are not cheap, and they definitely can't be paid for a box lunch. If the shooting speed is not fast enough, the money is still very gratifying.

Many so-called big productions need that kind of big scene. In this era, there are no special effects.

The so-called big productions are generally historical themes, and a lot of group performances will make people vomit blood.

In the United States, nothing is too expensive, except people.

There’s really no way around this thing. If you dare to shoot a hero in the United States, the production cost is estimated to be over 100 million. People’s soldiers will not cooperate with you in making movies. Otherwise, I will kill you without discussion.

If you watch old American war movies, you will find that they often start grandly, but they like to use small characters and small groups as the main line of the movie.

It’s not that they don’t know how to shoot big scenes. This one really can’t afford it. The opening minutes of Saving Private Ryan cost tens of millions. If you dare to keep filming, a hundred million won’t be enough for you.

Mao Zi has the ability to shoot, but unfortunately their ways are different. Usually, it is completed with a few gestures in the war room. At most, he taps the map with a pipe, and then wins all kinds of victories. It seems that there is no need to pay any price.
