Chapter 1867 When the Filming Is in Progress

"Wow. 500 million people watch a movie, and the box office must not exceed 10 billion US dollars."

"Mr. Xiao is really domineering. In the history of movies, there has never been a literary film with a box office of more than 10 billion yuan."

"It is estimated that Mr. Xiao will be slapped in the face this time. 500 million people, absolutely impossible." A reporter pointed the finger at David Hartnett

"Mr. Harnett, do you think this movie will attract half a billion people?"

David said seriously: "If someone said something like this before I saw the script of Forrest Gump, I, like you, would definitely not believe it. But now, I not only believe it, but it is very likely that it will exceed 500 million, reaching 600 million or more. Because this movie is so good, it's the best script I've ever seen, bar none."

"Mr. Harnett, can you tell me your salary?"

"Remuneration" David was stunned for a moment, then turned to ask Xiao Yunhai, and said, "This issue has not been discussed at all. Director, it seems that we haven't signed a contract yet."

Xiao Yunhai was also dumbfounded, and said, "Didn't you sign a contract with the agency?"

David Hartnett shook his head and said, "No."

Seeing this situation, the reporters quickly picked up their pens and wrote it down in their notebooks. The script was so wonderful that the actor David Hartnett forgot to sign any contract with the crew.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Hartnett is an actor of your company. How much will you pay Mr. Hartnett?"

Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "I don't know the current market situation in Hollywood. However, I have never asked any actor to reduce the price of any of my plays because of their relationship with each other. It's as much as it should be."

"Mr. Hartnett is now worth sixty million dollars," a reporter warned.

Xiao Yunhai said indifferently: "Then sixty million is fine."

"Come on, it's really rich."

"Bullshit. Ninety percent of the countries in the world don't have as much money as him."

The interview continues.

"Mr. Harnett, you should be playing Forrest Gump. May I ask what kind of character this is?"

David said: "All I can say is that he was a special charismatic man. He had all the virtues that America admires,

I believe you will like him. "

"Ms. Lumina, can you introduce your heroine?"

Lumina complained: "Please pay attention to the wording. I'm just waiting for the heroine. If I don't perform well, the director will probably kick me out of the crew. The whole crew, except for David."

Xiao Yunhai patted his forehead and said, "Lumina, are you taking revenge?"

"Mr. Xiao, why are you doing this? Don't you trust your actor?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "This reporter friend, your question is just trying to provoke the relationship between me and the actors. First of all, I want to say that they are all actors with very good acting skills, and I have no intention of distrusting them. But The more important thing between a character and an actor is the match of temperament. One or two auditions can't tell anything at all. So I simply didn't do any auditions and called them directly. That's why everyone is undecided. reason."

"If there really is a problem of discord between the actors and the characters, would you really ask them to leave the crew?"

Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Of course. When it comes to filming a movie, if it's appropriate, it's appropriate, if it's inappropriate, it's not appropriate. I won't make any compromises. However, as compensation, I'll let Marvel give them better opportunities. ."

"What do you call a better chance"

"Marvel has dozens of films to shoot every year, and it's not difficult to find a suitable role for them, even if it is the protagonist of a big production, it's not impossible."

As soon as Xiao Yunhai said this, Tom Hardy next to him immediately raised his hand and said, "Mr. Xiao, I may not be the right character for me. Do you see any male protagonists suitable for me in Marvel's big movies?"

"And me. I may not be too close to the character's temperament."

Other actors have also said similar things.

Xiao Yunhai laughed and scolded: "Are you guys interesting? My dramas are so disliked by you guys."

The crowd laughed.

Half an hour later, the press conference was over, and Xiao Yunhai started the official shooting.

Forrest Gump is not difficult to film, as long as the actor David Hartnett can take down Forrest Gump, then there are not too many problems.

And David Hartnett's performance did not disappoint Xiao Yunhai, he really completely integrated into the role, not only in the play, but even when there was no play, he still maintained the state of Forrest Gump.

Action, demeanor, way of speaking and even thinking are exactly the same as Forrest Gump, as if a different person.

Not crazy, not live.

David Hartnett explained the meaning of this sentence with practical actions.

However, it took a week to reach the level of indistinguishable roles and scenes. Xiao Yunhai compared the difference before and after, and without thinking about it, he reshot all the scenes from the first week.

The crew was speechless for a while.

The protagonist is a fool and the director is a lunatic. This is everyone's evaluation of the two behind the scenes.

The performance of the other actors was also very good, and there was no problem, especially Tom, who played Deng, was able to compete with the crazy David in aura, which gave Xiao Yunhai a great surprise.

While Xiao Yunhai was busy filming, the English version of the Twelve Citizens was finally released on the Twitter video pp.

This version, Xiao Yunhai has already reviewed, on the basis of retaining everyone's wonderful acting skills, the editorial department of Marvel has changed the lines very appropriately, which makes Xiao Yunhai very admire.

Of course, the literal translations of the Twelve Citizens are also preserved, and they can be packaged and downloaded for only $8.

Wang Guoan and others are not particularly famous in Europe and the United States. Only those fans who are very concerned about the Chinese entertainment industry know their status.

Therefore, the Twelve Citizens could only rely on Xiao Yunhai and the one-day gimmick to attract everyone's attention.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunhai's popularity is not covered, the number of downloads on the first day exceeded 20 million.

The number of downloads on the second day reached 38 million, far exceeding the first day.

A week later, the number of downloads by Twelve Citizens exceeded 200 million, and the score was $1.6 billion. Coupled with the achievements in Asia, the box office of Twelve Citizens reached 3.8 billion US dollars, which shocked the whole world.

However, the reputation of the two films in Europe and the United States is very different.

The revised version of the Twelve Citizens has been widely recognized by countless fans because it is in line with the status quo in Europe and the United States, in line with their values, and the wonderful performances of those actors.

And the version that was literally translated was somewhat unacceptable to fans. Not only did I not feel a lot of what was said in it

Instead, it felt a little ridiculous. The score only got four points, which is Xiao Yunhai's lowest rated movie in Europe and America.

However, those film critics who have a deep understanding of Chinese culture don't see it that way. They know Huaxia's values ​​and worldview, and they understand what is said in it.

One five-star critic even called the film a textbook on acting.

Unfortunately, there are too few such people.

Xiao Yunhai was fortunate for a while, if he hadn't accepted Raul's suggestion and came up with a revised version of the Twelve Citizens, then this movie would have become his Waterloo.
