Disaster Artist

Luck is indeed a metaphysical thing.

Originally, the "Deadpool" project was progressing slowly, but in any case it was still advancing slowly, and Lion Pictures never gave up.

However, the fiasco of "Green Lantern" scared the Lions film industry, and once again added a series of shackles to the film.

According to the plan, in order to give full play to the characteristics of Deadpool, the movie is positioned as a restricted level, and the audience and movie layout face severe challenges——

Restricted level, in simple terms, it is recommended that people over the age of 17 watch it, but it is not prohibited, but there are many restrictions when buying tickets for movie theaters.

First, the audience will be limited; second, the movie theater must also consider the time period, and the amount of movies will be affected accordingly.

This also means that if you want to create good results at the box office, you must face more challenges. Generally, superhero movies are basically tutoring levels that are allowed to be watched by people over thirteen years old. "Deadpool" will be the first in history. How could Lion Pictures not be worried about an R-rated superhero movie.

And now, "Green Lantern" is on the street, and the top executives of Lions Pictures are even more chaotic. They are worried that Renault may not be able to carry the box office of commercial blockbusters alone.

The protagonist looks beautiful, but not everyone is competent.

On the one hand, Lions began to consider whether the film should be slightly changed, from restricted to tutoring.

On the other hand, Lion Pictures further cut its budget to avoid repeating the mistakes of Streamer Pictures, and even if the box office hits the streets, it will not suffer heavy losses.

Even the voices of "shut down the entire project" within the Lions film industry were endless, causing the "Deadpool" project to be suspended for a long time.

Then, Reynolds was put aside, Mi Chun was out again, and the project entered a blank period again, with no director, no producer, and no screenwriter.

But what's interesting is that a full year after "Green Lantern" hit the streets, "Knights League" swept the world and almost broke the box office record in film history, which also made the Marvel brand established as a leader.

This time, Reno won the opportunity again and sat at the negotiating table with the executives of Lion Pictures. After all, Deadpool is also a superhero of Marvel Comics. At this time, Marvel's superheroes are harvesting the box office around the world. Lion Pictures An opportunity like this should never be missed.

In this regard, the executives of Lions Pictures once again disagreed:

For, against.

The two opinions were divided, and a compromise was finally made: the script was put back on the agenda, and a R-rated story was insisted on.

But other than that, other aspects of the project are progressing slowly, almost relying on Renault to run alone, and he can be seen throughout Lanchuan.

Going around in circles, and then came to the present.

At this time, it has been twelve years since the first official project of "Deadpool" was established.

Objectively speaking, is it selfish for Renault to promote the "Deadpool" project?

Of course there is.

Reynolds also hopes that "Deadpool" can succeed and become a turning point in his career, especially after the "Green Lantern" fiasco, this desire becomes more and more urgent, otherwise he can only remain a vase, a handsome guy in the second tier. Ups and downs, no ups and downs, no future.

However, from another point of view, Renault has never been short of film appointments. Even if his career cannot break through, he will always occupy a place in Lanchuan. Even if it is not "Deadpool", his agent will eventually be able to find suitable works to promote him. , but Renault never gave up.

Among them, it can still be seen that Renault's love for the role of Deadpool may be obsession, or he may really like it, but he always insists.

This perseverance is even more tenacious than Lion Pictures.

Then, Renault found Lu Qian.

As Renault said, because he believes that Lu Qian and "Deadpool" are a perfect fit, and because he believes that Lu Qian's joining can be the key to impress Lions Pictures, the most important thing, because he believes that Lu Qian can give " "Deadpool" is a new feature of the movie, colliding with moving chemistry.

Ebulliently, Renault was always talking and Lu Qian was listening. The whole room reverberated with Renault's voice, like a child talking about his favorite game. The endless and enthusiastic words couldn't stop, even if it was alone. The one-man show is no problem.

Reno didn't complain, he didn't tell the story of "Deadpool" going around for 12 years, he didn't tell the repeated hesitation of Lions Pictures, and he didn't tell the difficulty of shooting a R-rated superhero movie in Lanchuan. , also did not tell people about this project's wallpaper femme fatale.

He's just talking about movies and characters, a tragic hero with sharp edges and a story of his own, a naive fool who loses his ability to love but still believes in love.

Twelve years, for Lu Qian, this is already 50% of his life. These years of tossing and turning, tossing and turning, are a torment for Renault; but at the same time, it also gives Renault more time to settle and think. Gradually, He and the role of Deadpool also merged.

Reynolds said that Deadpool is actually very naive and acts casually, just like a child. Although he is lawless, he also sincerely believes in those pure and kind.

Reynolds said that Deadpool is very, very, very cheap, and that humor is his nature, but at the same time, humor is also a way to cover up his inner wound.

Deadpool doesn't believe in superheroes, but still believes in flowers blooming, birds singing, and the goddess of death still believing in love, Reynolds said.

In Renault's eyes, what Lu Qian saw was not a vase actor, but Deadpool, a superhero who was disfigured and turned extremely ugly but still as innocent as a teenager, a superhero who never wanted to save the world but was just sticking to himself The only superhero with a soft and warm heart.

It is an emotion called "love" and "longing", which shines in the depths of the soul~www.readwn.com~ Once, when we were children, we knew nothing about the world, so we were always easy to love The world, love all the new things you see, and yearn for the vast sky beyond your reach.

But as we grow up, we have more and more things, we experience more and more things, everything in life seems to be taken for granted, and then we can no longer find the simplest and purest happiness in childhood. , what love and what yearning all withered.

It is precisely because of this that when I grow up, I no longer believe in fairy tales, just like I don't believe in dreams.

However, Renault still believed.

"...Director, I really really like your dark humor. You are always able to inadvertently create a mood of banter and sarcasm, giving the character a unique temperament."

"By the way, the action scenes are even more so. It's an eye-opener. Before I saw your movie, I didn't know that action movies could be shot like this."

"You should know that Deadpool is such a character, he can let you use all your imagination, and then give the film a whole new temperament."

"Compared to me, I look forward to the Deadpool in your eyes more, that must be a lawless guy."
