Disaster Artist

Yu Shao frowned, lost in thought.

Not only because of the huge amount of information, but also because of the lack of information.

Wait, aren't these two sentences contradicting themselves?

actually not.

The former refers to Lu Qian's guess.

The latter refers to rumors of the truth.

Immortals fight, and mortals often don't know what happened. When they look up, they can only see thunder and lightning, and then it rains.

But what exactly happened is unknown.

Yu Shao must admit that during the recent period, the industry has undergone frequent actions, the situation has changed, and trivial rumors, gossip, and news have continued to surge.

They need to extract the truth from the sea of ​​information, which is not an easy task, so the black hand behind the scenes is always shrouded in a layer of fog, even the senior leaders in the industry keep it a secret, and many views always think that it is the shadow of the door Works by industry and Blue Whale Pictures.

Objectively speaking, Lu Qian's guess is only a theoretical guess, chasing the wind, without any substantive evidence, not even a clue.

It is very possible that all of the above are fantasies that are far from the truth.

But Yu Shao believes that Lu Qian has grasped a keen detail. They excluded these leaders too early, and they were too sure that these giant crocodiles would not rashly break the pattern of interests.

This is a big no-no when it comes to finding the truth.

Isn't that always the case in detective novels and movies? The most unlikely character is often the real murderer.

It's quiet in the office.

All eyes were focused on Yu Shao, but no one dared to speak out easily, even if they didn't know what Yu Shao and Lu Qian were talking about, they could judge from Yu Shao's contemplative expression, things shouldn't be that simple. .

Involuntarily, even the breathing slowed down, lest any slight noise or movement might break the balance.

Yu Shao didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the office, and all his thoughts gathered.

"But, director, you should know that this is not enough."

In addition, Yu Shao has another sentence:

Assuming that the matter is indeed related to Fantastic Pictures or Lions Pictures, it means that this should be a struggle between them and Wei Wei and the Lanchuan Journalists Association.

Whales fight, shrimps can't protect themselves, how can they intervene?

As for Lu Qian and Blue Whale Films, they only play a very, very small part. They are not qualified and capable to divide up the interests. They mainly follow the big guys to get a bargain. In other words, the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. , for them, the impact is very limited.

Then, Lu Qian was so proactive in calling him, it should be more than that.

Before he could say this, Lu Qian's answer came from the other end of the phone.

"Today, Reno came to me and invited me to be the director of 'Deadpool'."

"Judging from his tone and attitude, Lions Pictures is actively promoting this matter. As long as I speak up, things should be fine."

Yu Shao's question was immediately answered, and then all the clues were connected in series——

Lions, Fantastic, superhero movies, awards season.

Last year, the latest series of "The Mutants" received a lot of acclaim from critics and avid fans. , the result is still no money, what else can I do?

In particular, "League of Knights 2" still achieved good box office results, once again proving the weight of superhero movies in the market, and more and more highlighting the predicament of Lions Pictures.

Naturally, Lions Pictures is more radical and urgent in terms of company operation strategy.

This year's awards season, Lions' performance was sluggish for the second year in a row. At present, the number one seed of their production is "Mars Mission", but this is a light comedy and soft sci-fi. The prospects for the awards season are worrying. Even the nominations are a bit laborious, let alone breaking through the siege and winning the award.

In sharp contrast, the biographical film "Decoding Game" launched by Webster Brothers Pictures took the lead, and is currently far ahead in many blockbuster awards such as Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc.

So, what about Fantastic Pictures?

What's the key to getting Fantastic Pictures to pull the trigger?

Could it be that Wei Wei really intervened in the casting of "Doctor Strange", and even went further into the magical film industry, so that the Webster Brothers film industry also followed suit?

In fact, if this is the case, it is not surprising, because this is not the first time.

Yan Yalan.

When the "mutant team" was newly restarted, Lei Ming's agent started operations immediately and won an important role for Yan Yalan. There was no Wei Wei in the process.

However, when the "mutant team" restarted, the core characters were the two old enemies in the original comics, both male, Yan Yalan's role was important enough but far from being the protagonist; later, after the first movie was released , Wei Wei intervened and persuaded the senior management of Lions Pictures to gradually increase the role of Yan Yalan, creating a complex character that is affectionate and righteous, both righteous and evil.

When the third film of the series, "The Mutant Team" appeared again, Yan Yalan had already become the first protagonist.

This is not the first film to star a female superhero, but it is the first film to feature a female superhero and have a good reputation and box office.

Behind the scenes, Wei Wei has made great contributions.

Of course, in this process, Weiss Brothers Pictures did not intervene, that is to say, Wei Wei did not directly benefit, but Yan Yalan's career ushered in a new situation. She and Wei Wei collaborated on a series of works. Among them is the "queen of mop" that has caused a small discussion in this year's awards season.

Wei Wei, also a chess player, made some moves not for direct benefit, but for overall layout.

There is the "mutant team" in front, and "Doctor Strange" in the back.

Obviously, Wei Wei also saw the momentum of superhero movies, especially the energy of the Marvel Universe~www.readwn.com~ and the development paths of Magic Pictures and Streamer Pictures are very different——

The streamer film industry is obsessed with "big stars", and the actors who star in the superhero movies adapted from detective comics are more or less popular and famous.

Fantastic Pictures is keen on "making stars from the direct line", and often chooses actors who are unknown or who are at a low point in their careers, and recreate them into superheroes.

This also means that Wei Wei has more room for operation in Fantastic Pictures, and he should also hope that Wei Wei Brothers Pictures can share a piece of the cake——

And, a big piece of cake.

Wei Wei's ambitions and desires have never been concealed. Even Wei Wei himself admitted, "These ambitions are the important weights for my success."

Therefore, Lu Qian's hypothesis, Yu Shao thinks, is very, very likely to be true.

However, "theory is theory" is only on paper, and these theories may not be so simple to be confirmed.

If all of Lu Qian's assumptions are true, then what impact does this have on the entire incident and the entire Lanchuan?
