Chapter 188： Back to busy (1/2)
Chapter 188 Return to Busy
After spending Christmas ※ After the holiday of New Year, like many people, Wang Yang returned to the world of work, and now he has arranged many things for himself. Despite being a strong physique martial artist, Wang Yang was still almost cramped, and he was too busy to have 48 hours a day, of course 7 hours would be better.
Regardless of the identity of the chairman of Flame Movies, sometimes it is necessary to make some company decisions and give instructions; his current title is ”T--Team” as the producer director and writer, although several producers share the task, this film Most of the film's things still have to be done in person, forming a film crew, selecting actors, describing split-screen scripts, etc .; then there is the producer and screenwriter of ”Prison Break”, the producer and screenwriter of ”Kung Fu Panda”, and the producer of ”Rage”.
As for the determination to release ”Hangover” in the summer vacation of 4 years, he is too busy to take care of its production. Besides, the flame movie is not alone, looking for a production writer to choose a director to take over, everything will naturally go smoothly . Fortunately, he did n’t need and planned to ask too much about “Rage”. This 10,000-dollar drag racing movie is still in preparation and is expected to be turned on early this year.
In addition to finalizing the contract, directed by Lin Yibin, and produced by Michael Fttre11 and others, this movie has also selected Chris Morgan to play the script, not to do underground racing, but to focus on criminal robbery. Morgan was originally the screenwriter of ”degrees and leaks”, 4 and 5, and Lin Yibin can be said to be the ace partner, but now he is just an unknown newcomer, no reputation and no experience.
But Wang Yang had already made a patient plan for this. His post of supervisor was also to prevent them from making some serious mistakes, but he believed that given a period of time, ”Rage” and Lin Yibin and others could grow up A classic for drag racing movies.
And Lin Yibin's ”Hot Mochi” was released on a small scale in October last year. The widest screening of home theaters has achieved 10,000 box office in the whole line of paintings, not only to recover costs but also to make money. The other two works of the Fire Films series with great hopes, ”The Chainsaw” took a month to complete the shooting, and now the editing has been completed, ready to participate in the Sundance Film Festival on the 8th; ”Dancing out of my life” It is about to start shooting, ready to be released in October this year.
However, these are all related to Wang Yang, but he does not need to take care of him. The ”Kung Fu Panda” he produced does not need to spend much time at present, because this cartoon is still in a long preparation stage; his work focuses on ”T--Team ”And” Prison Break ”are so busy that the buttocks are smoking. This attitude of workaholics also makes some gossip media such as” Daily Entertainment ”say:” The older the magical age, the more energetic. ”
Wang Yang agrees with this very much, which is also inevitable. It is when the adult man secretes hormones frantically, and his beard has more physical strength. He thinks that the year should be another very busy year, at least it must be in the first half of the year, and there is not even time for travel and vacation. Although these are his favorite careers, it will not be irritating to do it; He sometimes thinks, should he slow down and pay more attention to the people and life around him?
In any case, he is now sitting on a moving train, still a long way from the next stop.
”Mr. Schlesner, in fact,” T-Team ”will not have any negative impact on you. You know that not everyone will play card counting. You wo n’t say watching a movie, and then you can become Jeff Ma. Now. ”
In Los Angeles at night, Wang Yang was holding a telephone microphone in his hand, walking around in a warm living room with a Christmas atmosphere and some Chinese New Year decorations, while smiling at Gary Slesner on the phone. He said: ”Although I don't want to, this is indeed an advertisement. For Caesars Palace and Las Vegas as a whole, after the movie, there will definitely be some people who are interested in counting cards to try their skills at the casino. ”
”Hmm ...” Garry Slysner heard a voice from the microphone. He said: ”I know, to be honest, we just don't like Jeff Ma and counting cards, because in this story.” He has some He laughed ridiculously and said, ”We are that fool.”
Since I heard last year that Magic Young wanted to bring the story of Jack Mana to the big screen, the casino league in Las Vegas was like a big enemy, and then they saw a card counting plot in ”The Hangover”. Nothing, there is no specific calculation method disclosed, and it ’s unrealistic for a fat man to play a bit. It ’s not as operable as Rainman; but the magical Yang is endless. I want to join Jeff Ma and talk about that. How to help people win 10 million?
The spoken language should also be ”to create a most professional and cool card counting movie”, and Magic Young also laughed with the media and said, ”Everyone will see how they play in the casino, and they will also know the real card counting. brand.”
This is of great help to the publicity of ”T-Team”, which makes the audience excited before watching the movie; but it also makes the casinos in Las Vegas angry and angry, and the major casinos are reluctant to provide shooting venues. , Specifically refused, ”We do not welcome everything related to counting cards.” Even the Caesars Palace Hotel, which provided the venue for ”The Hangover”, shook his head.
They feared their faces at first, and secondly feared that when Magic Young publicized the ”true card counting”, many gamblers who learned how to count cards would flow into the casino, and they would really capture the apparent magic movie. Ben Mozrich's ”Lacking Las Vegas” has a greater influence, maybe it can set off a wave of card counting.
MIT also refused to provide a filming location for this film, and T's attitude was also very firm. They were not allowed to step into the school half a step before they would not contribute to this ”family misfortune.”
According to some information in his mind, Wang Yang knew that the ”Decision Point” had encountered the same situation. In the end, their crew did not solve the problem. As a result, they had to go to some small casinos and Boston University to film separately. But he didn't want to do that. The picture given by the big casino and T's real scene was very different from the ”fake scene”.
It's not that the casino table in the big casino is needed, but the characteristics of their scenes, such as the Caesars Palace Hotel. As soon as the Caesar statue in front of its main entrance appears on the screen, the audience will know that it is the Caesars Palace Hotel. There is a feeling of Las Vegas; only when Jeff Ma and others are crazy to win money, there is a feeling of ”trapping Las Vegas”.
But if there is no such scene feature, it is just an unknown small casino, the gambling table is indeed that gambling table, but where is the atmosphere? It does not constitute the taste of Las Vegas at all. It can be applied to the name of any city. Who cares about other **** cities?
This is also the reason why the ”Decision Point” feels crappy, and the point team inside always goes to a fixed casino, which is a very stupid setting.
In fact, Jeff Ma and others were rotating in large and small casinos in the two casinos of Atlantic City and Las Vegas, so they were so mysterious, and novels and movies chose to put the theme in order to highlight the theme. They are set in Las Vegas. To have the atmosphere of a casino, the characteristics of those big casinos must appear in the camera, Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Four Queens, Horseshoe Casino ... the more the better
As a result, none of the families agreed, so Wang Yang decided to find a breakthrough here at the Caesars Palace. First, it was because the last time ”Hangover” was filmed there and had a cooperative relationship. Second, Wu Yanzu's girlfriend Lisa Schlesner , Is the daughter of Gary Schlesner, president of Caesars Palace Hotel. In addition, Gary Slysner is a French-speaking hybrid. Among those casino tycoons, he is the most fond of Jeff Ma.
”Fantastic Young, I love your movie. I had a stomachache when I watched” Hangover ”that day. Haha. In fact, it brought a lot of passenger traffic to Caesars Palace. This year's New Year holiday, our performance has increased a lot. Garry Slysner from the side chuckled a few times and said, ”I personally have no prejudice against Jeff, but you know that Las Vegas is a whole. If Caesars Palace promises to let you shoot , How do you tell others? ”
”This is definitely a very good advertisement.” Wang Yang walked to Sha and sat confidently, smiling with confidence: ”Mr. Schlesner, I just want Caesars Palace to help convince other casinos. Jeff and the point group These things have already been born. This is a fact that cannot be changed. I do n’t say that ”T-Team” will definitely box office at 400 to 400 million, but countless people will know these facts, which is also a fact. ”
