Chapter 50： Schedule (1/2)
The filming work was over, the ”High School Musical” crew also announced its dissolution, and Wang Yang and others returned to Los Angeles. (The fastest update to read novels) Of course, people like the movie's lead actors, original musician David Lawrence, photographer Vale-Fester, etc. must follow up the film's later work; and like dance director Anne Fletcher , Lighting engineers, stylists, etc., they have already completed their duties and contracts, and they will not have their jobs.
The official website of ”High School Musical” released the news of the movie's killing for the first time, and also released a number of new stills, including some of Wang Yang's handsome scenes, looking at the camera's viewfinder, guiding Tom Willing how to act There are also those who look at the script pensively and so on. A few of his handsome stills were specially filmed. The makeup artist played with him for a long time beforehand, and then the lighting engineer adjusted the light, and Vale-Fister shot it at a beautiful angle.
This is also a helpless move for the film's propaganda work. Compared with the leading actors such as Tom Willing and Jessica, Wang Yang is more popular. The fans who have been following this film are not the big stars, but the second film and the first film film of ”Magic Yang”. They are curious that this film is not good-looking, can it create a box office? miracle?
The overseas release of ”Smart and Ghost Record” is basically over. Just like the madness in North America, this dv horror movie has swept the world's cinemas, and the overseas box office has reached 150 million US dollars at the box office! In addition to the US $ 160 million previously received in North America, the total box office of ”Ghost Record” reached US $ 310 million at the box office! What is the production cost of it? The world knows that only 10,000 US dollars.
Wang Yang and Lion Gate have become veritable ”money-robbing couples”, and there are even media jokes that this year's 71st Academy Awards, ”Spirit-Ghost Record” will sweep through the same as last year's ”Titanic” Big awards, it will beat ”Saving Soldier Ryan”, ”Beautiful Taobao Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao Women's Winter Outerwear m Life” and other movies to get the best film, Magic Yang will beat Steven Spielberg, Bi De Will (director of ”The World of Chumen”) and others won the best director. what? There is no Oscar nomination for Ghost Records? !
Although these are jokes, the major media and magazines summed up the 1998 movie, and they will definitely mention ”Smart and Ghost Record” and mention Wang Yang.
The Los Angeles Times said: ”In 1998, James Cameron conquered the world with a boat and became the 'king of the world'. The world is crying because of the love between Jack and Ruth. And profits have skyrocketed. This year, there are also excellent movies such as ”Saving the Soldier Ryan”, ”Elizabeth”, ”Shawong Love History” ... Finally, I have to mention that there is also an 18-year-old young man who uses a The dv machine scared the whole world, yes, the amazing kid Wang Yang, and his debut film ”Spirit-Ghost Record”. ”
”In the first case, everyone scrambled to the cinema and watched” Titanic ”over and over; in the second case, all young people scrambled to the cinema and watched the” Smart-Ghost ” Photographic Record. ”
The total box office of US $ 310 million and the year-end summary of major media magazines have led to Wang Yang ’s popularity at an unprecedented peak. Everyone likes the kind of people who are ”not controlled by gravity”. Everyone worships heroes. The United States pays attention to teamwork. It also advocates comic-style superheroes. An 18-year-old guy made a single shot for 10,000 US dollars. A 310 million box office miracle, is he not a superhero? If Wang Yang is white, his popularity will only be higher and higher, at least he hasn't been on the cover of Time Weekly, is he?
Therefore, the expectations of the fans of ”High School Musical” is also at a high point. The news of its killing has made many fans and Wang Yang's female fans excited. They can't wait to watch this campus song and dance film.
But the question now is, when will ”High School Musical” be released? Its release date has not yet been fixed.
A meeting is being held in the conference room of Flame Film Company. Mark Srant, distribution manager Simon Willis, production manager Sandy Pikes and other department managers are all present; Wang Yang is sitting In the middle of the uppermost part of the conference table, looking at the documents in hand, the financial statements at the end of the ”High School Musical” shooting stage and so far.
A very detailed list, including all expenses, actors' remuneration, crew salaries, photographic equipment rental costs, film purchase costs, song copyright costs, hotel costs ... etc. Scanning one by one, Jessica Alba 500,000, Tom Willing 300,000 ... Although these are his money, Wang Yang is still bored, looking past the night, seeing the last Now, the total cost is almost 7 million. It is expected that the final cost will be more than 8 million after the later work. Fortunately, there are no special effects for this movie, only the fireworks.
The estimated cost of 8 million severely exceeded the earliest budget, except that the film was burned too much and the shooting period was half a month longer; the main reason is the salary of the crew, just like the dance director, from the beginning Had a budget of only 100,000-200,000. As a result, Anne Fletcher was invited. She initially declined the invitation of the flame film, but Wang Yang called her many times, and sincerely added a salary of 500,000, Anne Fletcher. Letcher finally took over the job. Her salary of 500,000 is also the same as the highest paid actor Jessica in this movie.
After looking at it again, I found no problem. Wang Yang closed the financial statement and put it on the meeting table, laughing: ”Okay, let's discuss the next content!”
The next content of the meeting is to determine the release date of ”High School Musical”. Only when a film is scheduled to be released, can its publicity work be carried out and coordinated; as well as the post-production process of the film, etc., only when the schedule is determined can everything proceed in an orderly manner. Of course, independent movies are not included in this list. They have completed the post-editing and are looking for release.
”How is our campus projection system established?” Wang Yang asked, looking at Simon Willis, the manager of the distribution department.
