Entertainment: I really want to make progress

The entire film of "Joker" is basically shot on location.

But at the moment, this extreme detail.

It can only be maintained within the 200-meter range of Newark Street.

Because the investment in the entire film is only 55 million US dollars.

It is like building a temple in a nutshell.

The shooting in the past few days has mainly focused on several long shots in the movie, mainly used to present the simple style of Gotham in the 1980s.

"Cut, this one is passed!"

Filming in America is different from the green light in China.

There are also many restrictions on the requisition of this section of Newark Street.

So Zhou Yutang plans to make a quick decision.

He has been in a highly concentrated state, and the entire crew of the crew is like a taut bowstring.

In the evening, when Zhou Yutang called several groups to a meeting, Guo Fan and Lu Yang had already gotten used to it.

Except for Wen Muye who was still doing the post-production of "Bad Genius", two of the three generals of Jiangdong came to help.

In their words, come and learn from the Grand Commander.

After all, such opportunities for practical work on foreign films are rare. With them as assistant directors, Zhou Yutang saved himself a lot of trouble.

But the director of photography and the leader of a special effects team are both foreigners, and they are not used to Zhou Yutang's way of doing things.

"Doug, fill all the gaps in the building, and don't have a skyline or blank areas..."

"Color and contrast should give people a sense of oppression. The sense of oppression is very important. This city is like a monster, covering Arthur and swallowing him..."

Zhou Yutang explained with gestures in front of the computer screen.

Several special effects teams communicated and soon came up with a feasible plan.

It was not far from the picture effect Zhou Yutang wanted.

After making a few more detailed requests, Zhou Yutang nodded with satisfaction.

Doug's mercenary special effects team leader was complaining in his heart.

Fuck, such a rich tycoon is still so crazy.

Damn it.

He was still Mr. Miracle two days ago.

Dumplings and orange chicken are delicious. As Zhou Yutang gradually gets into the rhythm of filming, the intensity of work increases, and he suffers a lot.

Now, he is called the tyrant on the set in private.

"If you exceed the deadline, the bonus of the entire special effects team will be doubled."

Zhou Yutang tapped his finger on the table: "Is there any problem?"

"No problem, sir!"

...

Li Shuang is quite experienced in doing things.

After receiving the notice of upgrading the publicity resources for "Mr. Donkey", he immediately readjusted his strategy.

He started to hype Zhou Yutang.

The fact that Jiangdong Grand Commander is optimistic about this is enough to make this realistic film receive extraordinary attention.

There are always people who go to the movies not for the stars.

With word-of-mouth marketing in place and no strong films at the moment, the theater's screening rate will naturally increase accordingly.

The box office in the second week has been stable and improved. By the 10th, the total box office has reached 386 million.

If it hadn't been for the sniping of "Doctor Strange", an imported blockbuster planned by Marvel, and the re-screening of "The Founding of a Party" by China Film, the box office might have continued to rise.

The former earned 81.5 million on the first day, and the latter was a main theme mission, with various agencies and units booking the theater, and also steadily earned more than 20 million.

However, even so, it was already a big bargain.

Zhang Cheng was indescribably impressed at this time.

Zhou Yutang's vision was indeed enlightened.

This was an unexpected surprise, and Zhou Yutang decided to stop while he was ahead.

After all, due to the limitations of the film's subject matter, the publicity resources and the personal relationships with the theaters were in place, and the potential was only here.

The next stage is the rhythm of the national director's peak competition.

Li An's "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" failed to live up to the expectations of the world. La Peikang placed a heavy bet on him, and China Film is concentrating resources to push it hard.

Among the three major directors, the youngest director, who won the San Sebastian International Film Festival, also has a great momentum.

At the same time, Jiangdong's national master, "The Great Buddha", also announced that it would be released in November.

This news was like a heavy bomb, which made the film and television industry explode.

The result of the discussion in the industry determined that this was to make way for the sequel of "Ghost Blowing Light".

This is indeed the case.

This is a professional judgment made by Jiangdong after several internal analyses and evaluations.

From the perspective of film themes and market effects alone, "The Great Buddha", which exposes the theme of real class, does not have obvious advantages in the Lunar New Year period with many blockbusters.

On the contrary, it is served in November to stir up a wave of peak battles among national directors, which may have miraculous effects.

Miss Liu attended the wedding of her friend Zhang Jingying at La Badia Castle in Rome.

She was dressed in a purple bridesmaid dress and had light makeup, but her natural beauty could not be concealed.

In theory, getting married should be a happy thing, but Liu Yifei's best friend had a tortuous experience.

Before the marriage, Zhang's mother disliked Feng Shao and even wrote a short essay on Weibo to criticize him directly. Later, there were rumors that Feng Shao had a mistress.

Later, they reached a settlement, but Zhang's mother was not invited to the wedding.

The entertainment industry is so magical.

Liu Yifei was in Rome, and Zhou Yutang was out of reach.

Miss Liu said that she would calm down for a while, but secretly told Ni Ni not to let Zhou Yutang smoke...

She is a kind girl at heart after all.

…

"Mark, do you have shoes with a larger size?"

"Mr. Miracle, we have customized more than twenty pairs of Arthur's shoes alone."

Taking advantage of the executive director's break in rearranging the scene, Zhou Yutang called the costume director over.

Mark Brugis grinned and said: "As long as you are satisfied, I think he can run in high heels without any problem."

This guy is a well-known costume designer in Hollywood.

He was also contracted to design all the costumes for the movie "Joker".

Including Arthur's clown costume.

Zhou Yutang's requirements are very strict, ensuring that every detail is in place, even including Arthur's clown shoes.

"I need Joaquin to wear a bigger shoe and have a more comical effect when he's running through the streets of Gotham City... you know what I'm talking about."

"OK."

Faced with Zhou Yutang's request, the veteran understood it and immediately led Joaquin Phoenix to try again.

This clown performance is quite technical and is more complicated and difficult to perform than it looks.

The crew specially invited a real clown to teach on-site. The Phoenix boy trained for about three days, and he looked pretty good.

Huge brown leather clown shoes, blue socks, and a clown hood on his head.

Arthur held the sign and worked hard, trying to make others laugh.

But his life is like a joke.

He was standing on the street performing without disturbing anyone, but his sign was taken away by a gangster. He was chasing him while wearing huge clown shoes, which was ridiculous.

"CUT!"

Zhou Yutang, who was behind the monitor, quickly called out again: "One more."

All departments re-prepared, but less than half of the filming was stopped again.

"Director, what's wrong with my performance?"

Counting this, it had been five times in a row. Phoenix took off his hood and gasped for air.

After losing weight, he had some minor physical problems, which became particularly obvious after several strenuous exercises.

"It doesn't feel right."

Zhou Yutang held his chin in his hand and played back the performance just now.

After a moment, he said thoughtfully: "I need a different Arthur from his normal state. Only when you are performing funny shows is the world that truly belongs to you. Relax and try to enjoy this feeling..."

"Relaxation?" Joaquin Phoenix murmured.

"At this time, Arthur should be relaxed inside."

"I think...I understand what you're talking about."

Joaquin Phoenix took a deep breath, put on makeup again, and continued the unfinished performance.

Arthur was completely immersed in his own world while performing his comical clown show.

It was like a song was playing in his heart, and even his movements had the charm of dance.

That's what good actors are like.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Needless to say, he will find the right way to perform.

The gangsters took away Arthur's sign, chased him, and punched him wantonly in the alley.

Arthur curled up and lay on the ground in pain.

The clown's sign was smashed in front of his eyes, and Arthur tried his best to reach out and catch it.

Close at hand, yet out of reach.

Arthur turned over and touched the mechanism on the waist of his performance suit.

Water began to gush from the gorgeous red flower on her chest.

It's like a clown's tears.

…

"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" was aimed at awards from the very beginning of the project, and it was finally released in November.

Li An attached great importance to this and held the premiere in Taipei first, and then transferred to the capital with starring Joe Alvin, Vin Diesel, Kristen Stewart and others.

In terms of China Film, La Pei Kang provided extraordinary courtesy, and Bona Yu Fatty, who participated in the investment, was also gearing up and preparing to do something big.

The main creators are even more likely to talk nonsense. No one loves Tianchao more than them.

It's a pity that no matter how hard he promoted it, Billy Lynn, the American hero, still failed to secure a piece of the Chinese vote bank.

It was released on Singles' Day, and the box office result on Sunday was only 25.39 million, which cannot be justified in any case.

At this time, the film schedule of "Donkey Gets Water" has been released, but it still has a stable revenue of over 10 million in a single day.

However, the Marvel blockbuster "Doctor Strange" is going on a rampage, with box office exceeding 300 million in its first week, making many domestic films unable to hold their heads up.

"Director Li's new 120-frame technology this time made me dizzy. Is this a box office hit?"

"I can only say, don't worry, trust Li An."

"This is normal. Li An's "Life of Pi" was also suppressed in the early stage, but later relied on the audience's reputation to counterattack."

"The weekend is the key. Let's see if Li An can withstand the double impact of Xiaogangpao and Zhang Yimou."

Several great directors got into a fight with each other, which created a lot of topics.

Naturally, there is a lot of attention and discussion within and outside the industry.

This year’s Double Eleven is still a popular cat-dog battle.

The Alibaba Gala was held in Shenzhen. More than 600 Chinese and foreign media reporters from around the world participated in the coverage, and they also teamed up with Blueberry Channel to create a celebrity gala.

Breaking one billion in fifty-two seconds!

The whole-day transaction volume exceeded 120 billion!

It accounts for 70% of the sales of the entire Tianchao e-commerce platform.

One record after another was shattered, and the whole world was shocked!

Mr. Ma once again proved that he is the absolute king in the field of e-commerce.

But Brother Dong is not an ordinary person.

Earlier, Hot Chai wanted to compete with Mr. Ma, but ended up with a false shot.

The marketing strategy changed in time and there was no large-scale investment in advertising and media.

Instead, the marketing investment for this drama was converted into subsidies, leaving it to the merchants and consumers of the platform.

In the end, Jingdong’s sales accounted for more than 20% of the entire market, almost equally sharing the Double 11 basic market with Alibaba.

Especially for home appliances and 3C digital products, Jingdong has a solid reputation and has a lot of fans.

The second brother of the e-commerce platform is not as powerful as the eldest brother, but he is also quietly making a fortune.

…

“Why are poor people poor?”

"Because if they work hard..."

Thomas Wayne gave advice on television.

He said these words confidently, tilting his head back slightly and looking down slightly, showing contempt inadvertently.

"Brett, great job!"

Zhou Yutang expressed his approval of Brett Cullen's acting skills.

Barton Blazer in the masterpiece "Soul Tank" has performed wonderfully in "Lost", "Under the Dome", and "Person of Interest", and even played in "The Dark Knight Rises" Member of Parliament.

"Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Brett Cullen, dressed as a boss, shrugged his shoulders: "This Thomas Wayne setting is very interesting."

As Batman, I have always been a great philanthropist.

But there is a lot of controversy in this movie.

Looks more like an unscrupulous capitalist.

Moreover, it played a key role in the transformation of Arthur's character.

The filming of "Joker" went smoothly, and the Newark part of the scene was completed in more than ten days.

Then it was time to move to New York to continue filming.

Domestically, the box office of "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" still hasn't made a comeback.

In the first three days of the weekend, it only closed 79 million.

Although the Douban score is as high as 8.5, which beats other films released in the same period, it was not well received.

It even had a back-and-forth with "One Piece: The Golden City" which had little publicity.

This is obviously difficult to accept for Li An, who is ambitious and wants to bite a piece of meat in the Chinese film market.

But the market is so cruel.

Li An, the international director who fired the first shot at the national director competition in November, was the first to be carried away.

Those who were previously optimistic about Li An's performance in the national costume director's peak competition, including La Pei Kang, were all speechless.

With the current box office depth of the Chinese film market, as long as the film content meets the standard and the marketing is in place, "Donkey Des Shui" can hit a box office of 400 million.

Li An's movie was a misfire, which only shows that today's audiences have their own aesthetics and perceptions and don't accept what he outputs in his movies.

When the market abandons a person, it doesn't even say hello.

After you sing, I will appear.

The premiere of Feng Xiaogang's "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" was held immediately.

The veteran leader Huayi has been making frequent moves recently. First, the main theme "Sky Hunter" was used as a promotional bomb, and then Huayi Movie Center opened.

It is known as a communication platform that integrates movie screenings, high-end catering, and private customized luxury services.

"Director Feng, what do you think about the box office failure of director Li An's new film in the same period? And director Zhang Yimou, "Big Buddha" is about to be released. Do you have confidence?"

"There will be no opponents in this time slot."

The little steel cannon continued to die without surprising words as always.

However, Mr. Wang's tone was even crazier than him. He took the microphone and publicly stated, "Feng's comedy has always been a guaranteed box office success.

As long as the film schedule keeps up, "Pan Jinlian" has a high probability of a one-billion-dollar guarantee!

If it performs normally, it can steadily earn 1.5 billion. If there are surprises, maybe it can keep pace with "Chi Ling" and break the 2 billion mark in total..."

"Two billion?"

After hanging up the phone from Wanda Liu Xiaobing, Zhou Yutang's lips curled up with a cold arc.

It won't be long before Wanda will give the arrogant Little Steel Cannon and the domineering Mr. Wang another huge "surprise"...
