Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The sci-fi movie has always been the most special type of movie in Hollywood, with a solid mass base and always occupies an important place, even in 2017; but at the same time, there are many critical audiences, whether it is a sci-fi world view, or the details of the story plot, or the core Ideas, tech nerds, and sci-fi fans have developed a pair of sharp eyes and are always picky.

Shooting sci-fi movies is always a challenge, but it is also an important test of the acceptability of the actor market.

A sci-fi movie can have a project, director, actors, and script. Among them, the script is the most important, but the director has the most influence. Science fiction works such as "Source Code", "The Night of the Comet", "Moon", etc., have excellent scripts and are well-received, but lack of directors and actors with strong influence, the market feedback is still difficult to satisfy the film company after all expectations.

Simply put, "source code" has never been one of Jake Gyllenhaal's list of masterpieces.

So what about "Killing Reincarnation"? Although the adapted script has been blacklisted, the origin of the original work is unknown, and the director and actors still need to put a big question mark, and even the investment scale is still uncertain. In other words, this is a project that can't find any reason to invest in shooting, just look at the previous actions of Warner Bros.

So, one can't find any reason why Renly chose "Killing Reincarnation"; likewise, one can't find any reason why Renly gave up "Fast and Furious". All the remarks of "US Weekly", in the eyes of other media, are nothing more than comforts to feel good about oneself. Only the most dreamy, fairy tale, and magical fantasy can achieve Gavin's goal; however, here is Hollywood, the most Fairy tales are also the most realistic Hollywood.

So, why did Renly choose "Killing Samsara" and give up "Speed ​​and Passion" without any reason? Taking 10,000 steps back, Renly can completely choose "Killing Samsara", and also choose "speed and passion/passion". Schedule conflicts are not a problem at all. adjustable. Moreover, Renly is not Tom Cruise, and it is not enough to support the weight of a sci-fi movie.

So how did things get to where they are now?

"Pay."

This is Cornell's conjecture, and in the article, Cornell does not use any negative or negative words to criticize Renly's choice. Because, in Hollywood, in the real world, remuneration is a factor that every actor must consider, and it is also a direct factor to measure the actor's status in the industry.

But the problem is that, in the rising period of the career, the turning point of the career, and the critical period of the career, giving up the work and focusing on the salary, is this not abandoning the basics? Is this a quick success? Is this desire/desire driven? This, is not exhausted and fishing?

Like Jim Carrey in 1996.

In 1994, he became the most influential comedian in history and reached the peak of his career by virtue of the three works of "Freak in Disguise", "Dumb and Dumber", and "Detective Plane". In 1995, "Batman Forever" and "Detective Plane 2" continued King's sweeping record, which made King known as the most successful comedian of all time.

It is against this background that Columbia Pictures invited King to play "Cable TV Repairman" for $20 million.

At that time, the "20 million club" had just come out, and the members were only Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks and other top players. No actor can reach this level. If Kim nods, he will become the first comedian in film history to earn 20 million. Consider Charlie Chaplin, Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and other long-established comedians. Their treatment - has never been really taken seriously by Hollywood, so King's feat is really writing history.

But the problem is that the work "Cable TV Repairman" doesn't have any bright spots:

Screenwriter lo-holtz-jr., a fledgling rookie, this is his first and only screenwriting work.

Director Ben-Stiller, he is now the core figure of the Bad Boys Gang, but in 1995, he was still a comedy boy who had just left the TV circle, and there was no work worth mentioning. His second directorial work, the previous one, didn't make any waves.

Producer Judd Apatow (jdd-aow), he later produced or filmed comedies such as "Bridesmaids", "One Night Pot Belly", "Pineapple Express", one of the souls of the Bad Boys Gang, But at that time in 1995, he was just a rookie, and this was his second work as a producer.

In short, "Cable TV Repairman" is an ordinary work, and it can even be said to be an experimental work. From any point of view, it was impossible for Kim, who was at the peak of his career at the time, to join this work; and Columbia's abacus was very simple, they put all budgets and expectations on Kim's shoulders, after all, for a comedy For a movie, the investment of 47 million was a sky-high price at the time.

In the end, Jin nodded and agreed to appear in the work, joining the 20 million club.

ending? In the end, "Cable TV Repairman" suffered a fiasco, and the media's comments fell completely. The North American box office was 60 million, and the global box office barely exceeded 100 million. Columbia Film

Ye lost nearly 30 million because of this work; as the main actor, Jin was scolded even more, some accused him of greed, some accused him of being unworthy, and some accused him of inflated prices... This made Jin Shen behind bars.

In the subsequent work "The King of Big Talk", Jin gave up his salary of 20 million and withdrew from the "20 million club". The box office performance of the work was actually very good, with 180 million in North America, which was definitely among the top at that time. The top of the line, but Kim still has been criticized, and even the vicious media accused him of shooting these works for the purpose of making money.

In addition, perhaps such associations are unfounded. However, in 1998, King starred in "The Truman World". He gave the best performance of his career and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor for the first time in his career. However, he was nominated for an Oscar. Did not get it.

Does the story of the "cable TV repairman" sound familiar? "Killing Samsara" now seems to be repeating the situation of the past. Without any bright spots, without getting too much attention, Renly nodded and agreed to play. For the salary of 10 million US dollars, this is not only It's shortsighted, and it's not just greedy, it's stupid.

The speculation of "Entertainment Weekly" has been recognized by peers. Cornell is really in the limelight this time, and people have expressed their approval. They agree that Renly took up the filming of "Killing Reincarnation" purely for the salary, and agree that "Killing Reincarnation" is a A work with no hope in sight, agreeing that this is Renly's dumbest decision to date.

This opposing view has the absolute upper hand, crushing the supporting views represented by "US Weekly" by a huge advantage. Not only newspapers and magazines, but even TV shows are included.

The morning news program "Today Show" talked about the recent hot topic on the program, "Love is crazy", and then brought up the soap operas "Killing Samsara" and "Speed ​​and Passion". The person said, "Let's still look forward to the 'cancer me'. Renly always makes incredible choices when it comes to commercial films."

Simple words, but revealing ridicule and banter, clearly expressed their views.

Even on the Internet is no exception. Friends are more angry and angry than future prospects. Under the strong influence of "Entertainment Weekly", Cornell's views have also become mainstream on the Internet, and friends have begun to condemn Renly's ingratitude and money-seeking, which is really disappointing.

A small number of radical friends even expressed their support and anger by refusing to watch "Killing Samsara", and then using the money they saved on movie tickets to watch "Fast and Furious 6" twice.

Some sensible friends expressed regret. It's disappointing that they've been discussing a possible follow-up to Luke Hobbs all summer, but it has come to an abrupt end. They either condemned Renly, or Fan, or Universal, but to no avail, there was no other way but to accept the facts.

Those voices of support, affirmation, and support were drowned in the torrent of public opinion of negative remarks and dirty curses in an instant.

"Killing Samsara" just had time to set up the project, and in a blink of an eye, it fell into a predicament, and even encountered resistance. The development of the matter is really unexpected. But, this is the news, this is the news of the Internet age——

A few days ago, people were still amazed that "Fast and Furious" lost the help of Renly, and the future was uncertain; a few days later, people began to look down on the development prospects of "Killing Reincarnation", and even Warner Bros.'s decision also questioned. From one focus to another, from positive to negative, it's just a matter of dinner.

On the one hand, the "Speed ​​and Passion" crew is flourishing, and the cast gradually shows its appearance, with both worries and expectations, but the topic has always remained hot, and the enthusiasm for the fifth part naturally continued to the sixth. of expectations. It seems that they have not been affected too much and are still making great progress.

On the other hand, the crew of "Killing Samsara" fell silent. After the announcement of Renly's joining, there was no follow-up news, not even the relevant information of the producer, and the whole production process seemed to have come to a standstill. Amid the bad news of "Entertainment Weekly", it gradually disappeared, as if it fulfilled Cornell's guess.

It was the most important choice of Renly's career, but also the most risky one. However, whether this choice was stupid or wise, and what the outcome would be, no one could answer, not even Renly himself. Only time will tell the truth.

Could "Killing Reincarnation" really be Renly's dumbest choice? Or, the most greedy one?
