Heads Up Hollywood

The filming of "The Avengers" was not finished yet. In the next month, Tang En concentrated on the green screen shooting of the movie.

"Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., "Spiderman" James Franco, "Hulk" Eric Bana, "Thor" Channing Tatum, "Ant-Man" Paul Rudd, "The Wasp" Rose Byrne, "Agent Hill" Karin Varners and other superheroes completed the set assembly.

Because this is an experimental high-tech shooting, which is the first time in the world, all the actors are a little dazed.

Also a little want to laugh.

The exaggerated poses they pose in front of the green screen, many times, I will feel a strong sense of shame when I see them.

Surprisingly, after the front shot was finished, a group of synthetic images appeared on the monitor at the back, and they all became superheroes one by one. That kind of ridiculous action, with the cooperation of special effects, looked special Spectacular.

Tang En also told them that this shooting mode will become the mainstream of Hollywood in the future!

During the break, Channing Tatum couldn't help asking: "Director, if this method will become mainstream, will actors like Jack Chen be unnecessary?"

He just jumped off a cardboard box half a meter high. In the composite image of the monitor, he jumped from a skyscraper, hundreds of meters high, and the scene was shocking.

Tang En glanced at him and said: "At any time, dedication is not a bad thing. It is no accident that Tom Cruise and Jack Chen can achieve such great success in the world. Special effects shooting will become more and more mainstream. , but live-action shooting is a valuable film pursuit. Go back and think about my words.”

Channing Tatum's physical condition is very good, which is very suitable for the role of "Thor".

Tang En is very optimistic about his future, he has the quality and ability to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

But, after all, he relied on Barry Diller.

Being a boyfriend to an old man like Barry Diller...is not a good idea.

Tang En'ai is eager, and really hopes that he can handle this relationship well and become an excellent actor, instead of taking advantage of the high-level relationship to dawdle in Hollywood's troubled waters.

At this time, Tang En's assistant came over with a happy expression on his face.

He is the director of "The Avengers", and at the same time, he is also the chairman of New Universal.

"The box office data of "Wanted" has been obtained. In the three days of the first weekend, it got a box office of 86.4 million US dollars. Counting the US$3.8 million in advance, the North American box office of the film's first week exceeded 90 million US dollars, which is the highest in last week. beat out "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," which opened in two weeks, and 20th Century Fox's action-comedy "The Secret Service."

Hollywood has a formula for calculating the box office trend of commercial blockbusters.

quite complicated.

To put it simply, the box office decreases by 55%-60% every week.

For example, "Wanted" has a box office of 90 million US dollars in the first three days, then the box office of the next week's 7 days will be about 90 million US dollars, and then it will be 36 million US dollars, 15 million US dollars, 7 million US dollars...

Roughly estimated, the North American box office of "Wanted" will reach 250 million US dollars.

It really was a huge success.

You know, the production cost of the film was only 80 million US dollars.

It can be said that Dunn did the right thing in handing over the comic book adaptation project to J.J. Abrams.

J.J. Abrams, who moved from the TV industry to the film industry, also became a hit.

It has already been spread in the New Universal industry that he is likely to become the third blockbuster film director who is favored by Tang En after Christopher Nolan and Zack Snyder.

"Wanted" came out, and it was a success.

Then, Tang En will also fulfill his promise.

He wants to hand over the "Transformers" series to J.J. Abrams!

Not just directing, but major creative screenwriting work as well.

Michael Bay's version of the "Transformers" series in the previous life has very enjoyable visual effects, but there is really no plot, just non-stop collisions, explosions and fights.

However, the story of "Transformers" is very large, with a complete set of chronicles, which is much richer than Marvel's story.

Marvel's movies can all be integrated and made into a series of commercial productions.

"Transformers" draws more points.

As far as the world is concerned, fans of Transformers must blow up Marvel!

This is almost every boy's childhood dream.

Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Jack, Bumblebee, Scud, Blue Thunderbolt, Fire Truck, Red Alert, Spray, Spinner, Searchlight, Saber-toothed Tiger, King Kong, Roadhog, Nightwalker, Flow, Lightning...

This series, like Marvel's comics, has many classic images and has a lot of room for development.

Paramount in the previous life really ruined this series.

"Okay, officially appoint Abrams as the director of "Transformers" and lead the screenwriter team, and immediately start the audition work for the main creative team."

Tang En Pictures has a very positive market forecast for "Wanted Warrant", so before the movie was released, the plan for "Transformers" had already been launched.

The interview work of the main actors and main creators has also started secretly.

"Okay, I'll reply right away."

"Wait a moment!"

Tang En suddenly stopped his assistant and pondered for a while, "I will set aside three days to participate in the interview with the core creative team."

...

Half a month later, it was already August.

The green screen shooting of "The Avengers" is coming to an end, and it is coming to an end.

During this period, he received a lot of good news.

The acquisition of Victoria's Secret has come to an end. The boards of directors of both parties have passed the vote, and the transaction price is 3.64 billion US dollars!

Even the deposit has been paid, just waiting for official approval.

There is no monopoly risk in such an acquisition, and the government will definitely approve it.

It can be said that within a few months, "Victoria's Secret" will truly become an underwear brand under New Universal!

To celebrate this, Tang En even called Michael Jackson specifically.

Invite him to participate in the Victoria's Secret show in November this year and perform live singing!

Although the Victoria's Secret show is very hot, the stage is too small.

As Michael Jackson, it is a bit condescending.

However, Tang En has a lot of face.

Michael Jackson agreed, he just made a small request, that is, to give 2 minutes of personal performance time, and then let the models wear shining appearances.

He needs the special treatment of a Uranus superstar!

As for the so-called 2-minute individual performance, it is actually very simple, that is, Michael Jackson stands motionless on the stage.

Well, just one stop of him on the stage is enough to make the whole world go crazy.

On the other hand, Steve Burke is becoming more and more obsessed with the USA TV network, has established a stable relationship with the Hilton family, and has already put forward his first offer of 5 billion US dollars.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

On this day, Tang En gave the crew a three-day holiday.

He's going to audition for Transformers.
