Chapter 513 Changes in the crowd
The filming period of the movie "Breaking Drummer" has passed, and it has entered post-production without any stop.
One word, fast!
Zhu Ke also personally participated in the editing of the movie. In just a few days, he cut a 130-minute film. Of course, this is just the result of the rough film, not the final film. Without further ado, the final film will definitely not exceed 100 minutes.
On this day, Wald Pictures organized an insider viewing.
The content of the screening is the roughly cut "Breaking Drummer".
"Everyone, what do you think?" Zhuke asked everyone.
Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you, but I don’t know how to comment. After all, this is a movie shot by my own boss.
Kevin Feige said: "Boss, I've read the complete episode of "Blast Drummer" and give it a review. It's a good movie, but... it's probably not ideal in terms of box office."
The words fell.
Everyone present looked at each other.
Zhuke also asked curiously: "What do you say?"
Kevin Feige continued: "The core content of the film "Breaking Drummer" says, 'Only the ultimate and paranoia can reach the peak'. In this regard, it is somewhat contrary to the mainstream European and American values, and it is 'not free'."
Zucker nodded.
The children's education model of European and American families is in the free-range type; in contrast, the family education model in the East mostly talks about "a filial son with a stick", believing that only after experiencing countless hardships can one become a talent.
Lao Guo, a non-mainstream well-known crosstalk actor, once said on Weibo: "It is not a good thing to be smooth sailing. He was spoiled since he was a child, and no one had ever said anything harsh to him. When he walked on the street at the age of 65, who glared at him suddenly died. However, he had been slapped every day since he was born, and until he was 25 years old, he was alive like a Vajra."
To be honest, it's ridiculous.
However... to a certain extent, it makes sense!
"Boss, the production cost of "Blast Drummer" is $3 million, and the promotion budget is about $5 million. However, the opinions given by the General Marketing Department are difficult to exceed $15 million in box office performance in North America." Kevin Feige said.
“Agree.”
Gavin O'Connor, deputy director of the production department, is also a supporting actor in the film "Breaking Drummer". He said at this moment: "The North American box office of $15 million is why you have a certain appeal for boss. Otherwise, $10 million will be dead."
Zhuke's mouth twitched slightly.
Before the filming of the movie started, he knew that "The Breaking Drummer" was a good work, but he didn't know much about the box office performance of the film.
.........
Zhuke looked around and pondered: "The European and American film markets are no longer expected. So, can "Explosive Drummer" succeed in the Asian market? Well, or there is a great probability of success."
Once this topic was put forward, it once again attracted discussion among many executives.
The West is not bright, the East *******oss, this movie really has the potential to achieve a counterattack in the Asian box office market." Kevin Feige said solemnly.
Gavin O'Connor followed: "The core values of "Breaking Drummer" are in line with traditional Eastern thinking, and it is really possible to achieve high box office in the Asian market."
Zhu Ke humbly accepted everyone's words.
In the original history of time and space, the box office performance of "Breaking Drummer" in Europe and the United States is really average, but it has really achieved high ratings in the Asian market and has a lot of box office gains.
Especially in the Korean film market, it has broken a series of moviegoers records.
The most powerful illustration of "The Breaking Drummer", which costs $3 million in production, has a global box office of more than $130 million.
...........
at the same time.
Providence High School, America.
Damien Chazerey, who finished filming the movie "Breaking Drummer", returned to school. He was able to participate in Zucker's movie and play the leading role, which made many of his classmates feel very cool.
"Damion, you guy is so lucky that you were actually attracted by Mr. Wald and starred in the movie, and he is still the male lead. Man, you are so enviable." classmate George envied.
“That’s right!”
Classmate Diano echoed: "If you don't say anything else, the drummers we studied in the orchestra were all jealous of envy."
Many people around Damien are indeed jealous.
When Damien first entered high school, he began to be addicted to jazz drums and could practice playing drums for 6 hours a day. He was like Andrew, the male lead of "The Breaking Drummer", and he was determined to become a jazz drummer. Not long after, he met a very strict music teacher. Under the guidance of this teacher, he was selected into the jazz band of high school students across the United States. He was incredible, but... he also struggled in pain for a long time.
Before filming the movie "Breaking Drummer", Damien Chazere had no choice but to give up because he was not a musician after all.
He quit the band!
His life trajectory is almost exactly the same as Andrew, the protagonist of "The Breaking Drummer".
So Zhuke said: "No one is more suitable than him to play the leading role."
At this moment, Damien Chazere, who returned from filming the movie, felt relieved.
"Guys, I have an impulsive idea now, no, to be more precise, I have a dream and I want to be a director!" Damien said.
Dreaming of becoming a director?
Classmate George: "Damion, I support you!"
Classmate Diano: "My man, let it go. This is cool! As for other jealous guys, let them continue to be jealous~"
.........
America - a small town in Wisconsin.
The filming scene of the movie "The Old Woman Killer".
"Mr. Simmons, we finally look forward to you."
J.K. Simmons, who just finished filming the movie "Breaking Drummer", will play a supporting role in the movie "Old Woman Killer". Well, it is probably a small supporting role outside the male number eight.
Producer Nate Gaby said: "Set, have you not seen Mr. Simmons coming in dusty? Why don't you pour Mr. Simmons a cup of coffee quickly?"
After saying that, he turned to Simmons and said enthusiastically: "Simmons, with you joining the crew of "Old Woman Killer", my original nervous heart is much more stable now. The old actor is worthy of being an old actor!"
enthusiasm!
Extreme enthusiasm!
Simmons: "…..."
To be honest, Simmons is a little confused now.
More than two months ago, Simmons failed to compete for the role of the third male lead in "The Old Woman Killer". It was not because of his poor acting skills. It was precisely because of the producer Nate Gaby in front of him who rejected him and could only play a small supporting role outside the eighth male lead in the play.
There is too much difference in attitudes before and after.
Producer Assistant Seit: "..."
Sait was also a little confused at the moment.
His own boss is a well-known "smelling" character. He is very flattering to the big guys in the film and television industry, and it is definitely difficult for him to give a good face to those unknown actors.
Hoho~
Everything is entirely because Simmons starred in the movie "Breaking Drummer" and is the second male lead.
This is a work directed by Zucker himself!
At the same time, Tom Hardy, who played a more important role in "The Breaking Drummer", and Megan Fox, a female vase, has also become the envy of other contracted artists within Blue Bird Agency in the past half month.
Because of Zhuke, their lives changed unknowingly.
Chapter completed!
