Disaster Artist

In fact, it can’t be blamed on Lion Films—

Their calculations are indeed correct. Lion Films, which holds the copyright, does indeed have the absolute initiative, and the right to choose is in their hands.

"Deadpool" failed, and they ended the project, just in time to cut losses.

"Deadpool" was successful, they continued the project, continued to shoot.

As for the crew, including the cast and director, once the movie is a success and a sequel is secured, they have no reason to say no:

For a long time, Magic Pictures and Streamer Pictures have used the same method to create superhero universes. Only the film company has the right to reject crew members, and no crew members have the right to reject film companies; after all, don’t forget, this is Lanchuan, There is never a shortage of talent.

At least, from the perspective of the film company, this is a matter of course and a matter of course.

But, from the perspective of the crew members?

Then-

Lu Qian became the first person to stand up and eat crabs. He said "no" to Lion Pictures.

Everyone in the industry exclaimed, but opinions vary.

Some people think that Lu Qian should be sensible, and there is no need to fight against large film companies to show his unconventionalism; Overbearing, the large film companies headed by Lion Films would not care about a director's choice at all.

Bustling.

There was a lot of buzz.

It's not the first time, though, is it?

Previously, Qiyang Media won the adaptation copyright of "Release Friends 2", and then excluded all the original team headed by Lu Qian, what happened?

Later, there was the "Quick Chase" series produced by Blue Whale Films and Damen Films, which continued the wave of "raids", but lacked the inspiration of Lu Qian's turning stone into gold. The "Raid" series is comparable, just look at the box office of "Raid 2" at the beginning of this year.

so.

In the eyes of envy, jealousy, hatred, puzzlement, anger, complaints, and contempt in the Lanchuan industry, Lion Films is still willing to eat——

Gu Qingyuan still showed the greatest sincerity and continued to negotiate with Lu Qian. Even if the door was closed, it was still rare to show sincerity. He hoped that Lu Qian could continue to participate in the creation of the mutant team universe, including "Deadpool 2", so that those The naysayers were stunned.

A very, very interesting rumor circulating in a small circle:

Renault does not object to Lu Qian's absence from "Deadpool 2".

In direct contrast, although Wei Dongmang has confirmed that there will be no sequel movies, and obviously the "Deadpool" series is not going to start the set of "popular characters come back from the dead", Wei Dongmang still firmly stated, " A sequel without a director could be a very different work."

At the same time, Li Jianan also hopes that Lu Qian can continue to be in charge of the director. It seems that this loving couple has not discussed this matter in the bedroom.

Things suddenly became interesting.

Judging from the rumors, Lu Qian and Renault disagree on the development direction of "Deadpool 2".

In the past, film companies always used "creative differences" to explain the internal strife of the crew, like dog skin plaster, people often tacitly understand this official statement.

But this time, it seems to be true.

Lu Qian and Renault have different concept layouts for the series of movies, and Renault obviously hopes to be able to participate more in the film production process and honor the name of the producer, but Lu Qian doesn't like Renault's concept, and he doesn't like it at the same time. Reynolds, as an actor, dictates the work of filmmaking.

There is no doubt that Lion Pictures is on Lu Qian's side, which is not good news for Renault.

It is conceivable that when Renault learned that Lu Qian had decided to withdraw from the sequel project, his mood was mixed.

On the one hand, there are concerns about the quality of the sequel.

On the other hand, the excitement is unbearable.

Therefore, it seems that Renault's "no objection" is not so strange, it is more like a kind of self-compromise after self-contradictory entanglement.

However, the industry has to guess—

Perhaps, things are more complicated than imagined.

After all, as the actor of Deadpool, Reynolds is basically equivalent to Deadpool. If Lion Pictures wants the sequel to be successful, they need Reynolds to continue to play; moreover, Reynolds and Lion Pictures have been pulling each other for many years. A certain right to speak, coupled with the proposal of Gu Qingyuan's close cooperation with Blue Whale Films, there should not be a unanimous consensus among the senior management of Lion Films, and there may even be differences.

Possibilities extend infinitely.

Lu Qian's turning around did not seem to be that simple.

but!

Leaving aside the intricate intertwining of interests behind it, at least two points can be determined:

First, Lu Qian's firmness.

Second, Gu Qingyuan's determination.

On the one hand, it is Lu Qian's determination to bid farewell to the universe of the mutant team, and his stance is firm, and he has repeatedly stated that he has no interest in the position of creative director.

On the one hand, there is Gu Qingyuan's unwillingness to give up. Regardless of whether there are differences within Lion Films, he has made up his mind and is ready to put all his eggs in one basket.

Gu Qingyuan's personality also has his paranoid side. After all the hesitation and hesitation in the early stage are over, once a decision is made, he will not revise it. Instead, he will believe in his own judgment, show perseverance and tenacity, and will not give up until the goal is reached. On the contrary, he is firmer than anyone else.

One stubbornness meets another stubbornness~www.readwn.com~The ending?

Lu Qian gave the second option.

This is not surprising. Judging from the situation, Blue Whale Films needs Lion Films. If Lu Qian goes head-to-head, then Blue Whale Films will definitely be injured; leave room just right and make full use of Lion Films It is wise for Blue Whale Films to benefit from this determination.

Lu Qian is a smart person. He knows how to stick to his bottom line and decision, and find room for maneuver under overwhelming pressure.

Horse pomelo.

Lu Qian gave Gu Qingyuan a name. He thought that Ma You would be the perfect candidate for the creative director of the mutant team. He was also the cooperation representative sent by Blue Whale Pictures. Waiter 2" director candidate.

Drain from the bottom of the pot.

Lu Qian made a compromise choice in such a way, and even took into account Renault's mood and the prospect of "Deadpool 2", and all contradictions were handled properly; but when you think about it seriously, this is really a "compromise" "Is it, or is this the plan that Lu Qian has been laying out from the beginning?

One step, another step, careful calculation, careful layout, and then, Lion Pictures obediently fell into the trap.

Everyone believes that Lion Films has the absolute initiative and absolute power, and Blue Whale Films standing in front of giants is basically a baby.

However, now everything is developing in a direction that is absolutely beneficial to Blue Whale Films, just like a good chess player, the seemingly unintentional move has no context at all, until the moment when the net is closed, people can see the overall situation and suddenly realize Those moves are all layouts.

So, is the docile little white rabbit of Blue Whale Films going to fight like a rabbit, or pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to control the overall situation?
