Chapter 415 Will not change!

. "That's a very worthy plan to look forward to, yes...yes! Yes!!! Don't worry, ok, bye."

A buzzing sound came from the office! The microphone was put down, and Wang Yang leaned his forehead against the back of the chair and exhaled. What was going on? The reactions of these people were much more violent than he expected, just because Jon Favreau messed up "zathura", and he had previously invited Favreau to direct "Iron Man".

In fact, in the eyes of both an audience and a filmmaker, "zathura" has both advantages. Its visual effects are very good, and it can grasp the rhythm of adventure and thriller atmosphere, etc.; but there are always reasons for failure. He believes that one of the key points is that it claims to be a sequel to "jumanji" in publicity. Yes, "jumanji" in 1995 had a global box office of 262 million yuan, and it has a strong influence. He loved it very much back then. The film was interesting and fun while being nervous, so this is the impression label.

In addition to playing board games, not only does the plot character have no continuation, but no actor comes from the previous work. At that time, Kirsten Dunst, who was 13 years old, is now "Spider-Man girlfriend". They even have different titles, but it is a "sequel", under the pressure of fans of the previous work. Ten years ago, the teenagers are just young people who pursue "sunshine, beach, beauty". He is almost a father. Can you expect them to enjoy a sequel to a children's movie? Nostalgia? Of course they will feel bored when watching it now; and today's children don't want to watch the sequel.

If "zathura" didn't have so much to do with "jumanji", it probably wouldn't have failed so badly. It insisted on saying that it was a sequel, but didn't think that the times were already different.

So it is absolutely impossible to say that "zathura" was completely Jon Favreau's fault. Although he has a certain responsibility, the script and publicity must be mainly responsible. The script mistakenly chose space as the story background and the publicity was wrongly positioned as a sequel. This is the fault of Columbia Company, but they blindly regarded Favreau as a scapegoat. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the fault is not his. This is definitely the reason why Marvelous Pyra Méng dared to invite him to direct "Iron Man".

Wang Yang has explained these to the new line, Warner Bros. The leaders of the company said the truth to Michael Lynn. The failure of "zathura" gave Jon Favreau a greater motivation. He wanted to prove himself that he is the best director of "Iron Man" at present.

"Dadada" Mark Slunt, who was in formal clothes, knocked on the door and walked in. While sitting down at the chair in front of his desk, he asked, "What's wrong?" Wang Yang looked at him and spread his hands: "I don't know! Everyone is like crazy, replace Favreau, replace Nolan...what is this?"

Mark Slunt shrugged with his glasses. Favreau was just a fuse for the small matter to become bigger. The key is that they lacked trust in him and were not satisfied with the bold production ideas. After all, this is the first time that Flame Movie has actively cooperated with others. If it is a blockbuster with a budget of 100 million or 200 million, see what the Lionsgate is nervous about "Ghost Records 3". Mark Slunt said: "You made things too perfect before. After the big expectations, a little change will make people pay special attention to it."

"Is that? I thought I had just dragged down a film company." Wang Yang shook his head helplessly, and Mark Slunt chuckled, "You can treat it as a good thing. Favreau will like the microphone of "Iron Man", but he really can?" Wang Yang grabbed a piece of paper and threw it at him, and said calmly: "I never doubt that, don't ask such questions again! Unless you want my head to explode." Mark Slunt took the piece of paper and put it on the table, reminding him: "Yang, it's better not to have too unpleasant things with them."

"I know, there is no unpleasantness, but if you continue, you will have it, haha!" Wang Yang smiled. If he was impatient, then no one in the world had it, but those old people... God knows whether they will deliberately add fuel to the fire and increase pressure in order to force change? They wouldn't be so stupid, are they? Wang Yang ordered seriously: "So I'll call you over and you can get them for me! I don't want to coax them anymore. Damn, I'm not their husband." Mark Slunt said: "These guys are more difficult than their wives." Wang Yang pointed at him with both index fingers: "my-man, your business is right!"

After the two talked a few more times, Mark Slunt stood up and left. Wang Yang looked at the Yongdongyi who was turning around on the table, thought silently for a while, and suddenly said to himself: "It's time to have a good talk with Will."

"But first..." Wang Yang picked up his cell phone and called Favreau. From the voice of "Hello", hello, he could tell that Favreau was in a low mood. Wang Yang greeted: "Hi, Jon! I'm sorry about the "zathura", but I think it's not your fault..."

Listening to Wang Yang's insights and comfort, Jon Favreau felt relieved and said at intervals: "Yes, thank you, yes... thank you." Hearing Wang Yang's topic changed again, "The matter of "Iron Man"", he suddenly burst into pieces. In fact, a few days ago, the box office of "zathura" was released on the first day, he no longer expected to direct "Iron Man". Moreover, he is really hurt now and needs some time to lick his wounds. Wang Yang said over there, "I think you have to have a good rest." Sure enough! Those are just polite comfort words.

Although it was expected, Ferrule was still hit. We can't blame the magic and meanness. Who made him so poisonous? But when he heard "Then cheer up quickly and start the preparations for "Iron Man"." Ferrule was stunned and couldn't help but ask in a lost voice: "What? Do you want to invite me?"

"Ha! What are you saying? Do you think what I just said is lies, aren't you?" Wang Yang laughed, and Fruce over there laughed, without embarrassing him. Wang Yang smiled at the microphone: "To be honest, I think "zathura" is just an operational failure. Jon, I know you can..."

After hearing him say it for a while, Favreau dared to be sure. This is not a joke! Shenqi Yang really wanted to ask him to direct "Iron Man" and "zathura" had a 13.42 million weekend box office. This is really... He felt unspeakable, surprised, surprised, surprised, unbelievable, and some self-doubt and hesitation. His voice was a little light: "Do you think I can do "Iron Man" well?" Wang Yang laughed: "I don't believe you, believe me, but it's better to believe in yourself and don't ask stupid questions! Jon, now you don't care what others say, enjoy your vacation, it won't be too long. "Iron Man" will be released in the summer of 2007."

"Oh, I will... have a good rest." The two continued to talk for a while, hung up the phone, and after a while, Ferruc gradually came to his senses and sighed: "Oh, my god!"

An afternoon was about to end, and Margaret's editing work was taken care of by Margaret. Because of these production and company affairs, Wang Yang stayed in the office but was still busy. As the standard time of get off work approached, the assistant called and said that there was an appointment for a visitor. He nodded in a good mood: "Please come in."

"Dadada" accompanied by the assistant opening the door, a black-haired Asian boy wearing a jacket and denim ku walked in. When he saw Wang Yang, a trace of movement flashed across his gentle face, and he didn't know where to put his hands: "Mr. Wang, I'm very happy to know you, I'm David Ren..."

The boy is David Ren (David-ren, Ren Yi), the Chinese director of a film "Shanghai Wěn" to be released by FM. He was born on November 5, 1986 in Shanghai, China. He grew up in Queens, New York. In 2003, 17-year-old Ren Yi moved to Los Angeles to pursue his film career. He is currently studying in the School of Arts and Sciences of Redlands University, Si University. However, although he is young, he has married his fiancée Athena this year.

After coming to Los Angeles, Ren Yi actively wrote the script "Shanghai -konwiser, and found Ken Liang, Hu Kaili, Haydn Panettier and others to star in it. This is also the film with the least paid film since the 16-year-old popular child star Haydn Panettier. This year, after the filming was completed from July 4 to September 2, the film entered the post-production stage and faced difficulties in seeking release.

"Shanghai: Wěn" is a film of the Chinese male protagonist, telling the theme type of second-generation immigrants suffering from their own identities. Such a small-budget film, such an unknown team, a 19-year-old Chinese director? Is it amazing? Apart from Panetir, how many people know Panetir? How many people know Panetir? It's easy to enjoy the cool under the big tree. After hitting walls everywhere, kon" has too many shortcomings, limited market potential, and does not have the ability to publish theaters. However, with the successful case of "Hot Maji", with its comedy specialty, you can still try the distribution strategy of DVD and trial screening. The film and television library does not mind the number of films, so they negotiated to serve as its publisher with a small advance payment and dividend.

"Hello, I'm very happy to know you." After Wang Yang learned about this, he invited Ren Yi to come over to have a conversation, because "Shanghai will do the job well. Wang Yang stood up to greet him, shook hands with Ren Yi, patted him on the shoulder, walked towards the chair, and asked him to sit down and smiled: "David, don't be restrained, you know I'm 19 years old, we are all young people, mature married men."

"Haha!" Finally, he saw his idol since childhood. Ren Yiji's heart was about to stop beating. Although he had been in the world for a few years, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. So handsome! Oh my God, if he could work on the set with Shen Qiyang... he was a little imaginative, sat down in the chair in front of his desk, couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Yang... I don't know what to say, I am your die-hard fan."

Wang Yang looked at his childish young face with a smile, remembering the scene when he went to many film companies in the early summer of that year. It seemed like it was a long time ago, and it seemed that it was just yesterday. He suddenly laughed out loud: "Thank you, but I won't sign you, vvv, it's too old-fashioned." Sometimes I've been sitting in the office for too long, but I missed the hard years of running on the streets. Suddenly I felt that those old people were not that annoyed. He got a surge of energy from Ren Yi. No matter what, move forward!

"Oh, okay..." Ren Yi laughed happily, knowing what he meant. Shenqiyang didn't want their relationship to be like idol fans. He was very happy and said, "Can you sign one for my wife Athena? She is also your hardcore fan." Wang Yang nodded with a smile: "Okay, both in Chinese and English. So how is your Chinese proficiency? Watch the football game? Knicks ball mi?" Queens is a street ball holy place in New York, and many NBA players have appeared. Ren Yi replied ashamedly: "I'm not very proficient in Chinese; the football game is OK. If you don't count as a senior Qiu Yang, he gave up the idea of ​​communicating in Mandarin, and smiled at the topic: "Has "Shanghai: wěn" been edited?"...

Although Wang Yang asked Ren Yi to be restrained, Ren Yi was still in a state of excitement and almost blank mind, and slowly calmed down. It was unclear that "Shanghai will be released next spring.

After hearing a lot of words from Mark Slunt, the two old men in the new line, Warner Bros.'s senior executives are still very upset. Should they believe in Shenqiyang 100%? In fact, they are not unreasonable stupid people. Shenqiyang does have his reasons, but... is it possible that he will change his mind!

When November 11-17 came to an end, the Thanksgiving atmosphere became stronger and stronger. "Chicken Mobilization" won the North American weekly box office championship with US$35.63 million. "Jedi Veyron" shared two or three places with 15.18 million "Brave Game 2"; "Saw Hun3" in the third week of release collected 14.44 million box office (-45.8%, 3,240 theaters, an average of 4,458), ranking fifth, and the total box office rose to Hura" in the first week.

There was only a sad box office of 1.76 million in four days! How could it not be ridiculed and sarcastic by the Yanghe? The full release of "Harry Bot and the Goblet of Fire" announced its complete ending on the 18th. The bosses of 3,223 theaters were crying and their eyes were swollen. If Jon Favreau suddenly stood in front of them, the consequences would be unimaginable. The media public's doubts about Favreau and Wang Yang are still in full swing, and there are more discussions. This has become a topic that fans of Movie Mi have to talk about Yang these days.
Chapter completed!
