Disaster Artist

Chapter 721: see the wind

When people are talking about Dragon Slayer, Lion and Fantastic Pictures are obviously more suitable choices—

Motivation, confirm.

ability, confirmed.

Of course, whether it is Lion Pictures or Magic Pictures, from their perspective and position, neither Lu Qian nor Wei Wei are worth their efforts.

"Company VS individual", "big company VS small company", both sides are not on the same level of dialogue. For these top companies, interests are the only weather vane. They will not give up their interests and be blinded by personal emotions to do useless work, and they will not hold on to trivial matters.

Moreover, as the judgment of industry insiders shows, Lion Pictures and Magic Pictures have always stood at the top of the pyramid. They are the vested interests of the current pattern. According to common sense, they should continue to maintain the status quo, which is in line with their own interests. s Choice.

but if!

The origin of the matter was an accident.

The initial negative accusations made by the Lanchuan Journalists Association and Wei Wei were all personal actions. Some passionate people tried to achieve justice and try to change the society.

News broke out.

Then, Lions Pictures or Magic Pictures saw the opportunity and moved with the flow. They only need to use a little bit of power from the media and contacts to directly take things to a higher level and burst out infinite energy.

Just like Lu Qian and Blue Whale Pictures—

They saw an opportunity and made a choice. It can also be said that they are just watching the dishes.

Then, the odds skyrocket.

However, even so, Lions Pictures or Fantastic Pictures needs a "reason", a decisive reason, to break the balance of interests.

"Brother Yu, Renault just came to my house, we are chatting..."

"Reno?"

"That's another story. We'll talk about it later. As it stands, Renault has given me a little inspiration."

After a while, Lu Qian had already firmly grasped Yu Shao's attention, even if there was no cause and effect, Yu Shao's thoughts also followed at a high speed—

After all, Yu Shao has a better understanding of the internal interest structure of the industry.

"Reynolds brought up one thing, Fantastic Pictures doesn't like things getting out of their hands, so they didn't choose me to be the director of a superhero movie, just like they parted ways with Wevey."

"There is no doubt that Lions Pictures doesn't like it either, and of course, neither does Streamer Pictures. They don't like it either."

For ordinary people, a rebellious hero often represents breaking the shackles, embracing freedom and releasing life, and it is easy to ignite a flame in the heart.

But to the top of the pyramid, rebellious heroes represent uncertainty, and they tend to find ways to kill them.

At this point, Lu Qian and Wei Wei are the same.

The point is still: size.

If the "rebel hero" is still in control, like a mastiff, the top of the pyramid doesn't mind continuing to let it go, because they can control the situation; but when the situation is out of control, things are completely different.

"What if Wevey's arrogance and hubris have threatened the interests of companies at the top of the pyramid, not just awards season, but even the entire landscape of superhero movies?"

"Look, have you heard about the casting of 'Doctor Strange'?"

Lu Qian threw out a possibility, and Yu Shao reacted immediately. In terms of these news, he is more informed than Lu Qian.

"Director, are you saying that Wei Wei has interfered in the casting of Doctor Strange now?"

According to industry rumors, the actor of "Decoding Game" is infinitely close to the casting of "Doctor Strange".

Two important points:

First, the "decoding game" is Wei Wei's biggest bargaining chip in this year's awards season. The entire crew is basically built by Wei Wei.

Second, "Doctor Strange" is an important work by Fantastic Pictures for the second phase of the superhero layout.

What if Wevey's interference and manipulation tentacles are entering the superhero territory of Fantastic Pictures?

Things are completely different.

There is no doubt that the "amazing universe" is of unquestionable importance to the magical film industry.

This is not only the well-deserved overlord of the current film industry and a box office harvester; it is also the absolute core of the daily operation and future planning of the entire company of Magic Pictures, creating a realistic universe—

Around this universe, Fantastic Pictures is changing the company's development blueprint step by step for the camp, theme parks, TV series, toy peripherals, comic animation, copyright transactions, and more.

To put it simply, the income from movie box office dividends only accounts for less than 10% of the annual financial report of Magic Pictures.

What does it mean?

The real purpose of the superhero movies produced by Magic Pictures every year is never for box office dividends, but to create the entire real universe through these movies, and to make profits through the movie peripherals. Copyright Empire.

Therefore, many ordinary viewers often have a question:

Why is Fantastic Pictures always making pipeline works, they have never been motivated and ambitious, aren't they ready to make better works?

Why are some superhero origin movies so poorly made, so that sequels can still be put on the agenda?

Why is Fantastic Pictures constantly developing new superhero movies when they don't have any interest in other genres?

The answer is here.

Movies, whether they sell well or not, have little impact on Fantastic Pictures, as long as they don't hit the streets too hard like "Green Lantern", it doesn't matter.

Because Fantastic Pictures has never expected to make money through movies, these movies are just a gimmick, equivalent to large-scale advertisements, creating an entire universe, and then making money through peripherals.

If you can understand this, many questions can be answered:

If it's just an ad, why should it be well-crafted? Why should a personality director like Lu Qian complete the shooting? Why can't it be pipelined?

At the end of the day, Fantastic's requirements for these films are "passing."

But, taking a step back, these films also have to keep up with production, one “ad” after another, to ensure freshness while also attracting a whole new set of fans.

After all, in the Internet age, the speed of replacement is getting faster and faster, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Fantastic Pictures also needs to keep up.

So, in this way, movies are still very important, because the entire surrounding universe of Fantastic Pictures is built around movies.

It is conceivable that Fantastic Pictures will never allow others to interfere with the initiative and autonomy of superhero movies.

Of course, a prerequisite is that the entertainment industry is a slap-sized circle, and there are those people who come and go, looking up and not looking down, so Magic Pictures will not categorically refuse to use any actor who is related to Wei Wei, This is clearly unnecessary stupidity.

As long as the actors can meet the needs of producers and directors through normal auditions, then Fantastic Pictures is willing to welcome all actors with an open heart.

But what if not?

What if Wevey's hand was stretched too far behind the casting of "Doctor Strange"?

What if Wei Wei's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant and is ready to further intervene in the higher layers of the pyramid to open up a new situation?

What if Wevey really touched the cheese at Fantastic Pictures?
