Chapter 496 Verification method of crazy fans
With the arrival of the new weekend, the traditional summer movie season in North America is about to begin. Movies from major companies are beginning to be released together. "John Wick" ended its short-lived three-year run at the box office. The new box office champion was taken by "Fast and Furious 4" "occupy.
However, the film's North American box office totaled US$165 million and its global box office totaled US$255 million, temporarily ranking first in the 2009 list.
With the size of "John Wick", it certainly cannot secure this position. In the upcoming summer season, popular sequels such as Transformers 2, Harry Potter 6 and Ice Age 3 are coming one after another.
At the end of April, Marcus's memoir "Lone Survivor" was published by Random House.
Martin, Chad, Mene and others all participated in the opening ceremony together to build momentum.
They consciously gave up their position, refused to accept media interviews, and promoted Marcus to the C position.
Marcus tearfully described Operation Red Arrow that year and declared that all proceeds from the sales of his memoirs would be donated to the American Legion.
As for the income from adaptation, that is a matter for the future, and naturally it is not included in this category.
After a simple cheer on the platform, Martin went to the lounge at the back.
Chad said: "I saw the script of director Nolan's new film from Mene, but I didn't understand what he wrote."
Meine responded: "Actually, I don't understand it either."
The plot presented in text in the script is much more abstract than the scenes in the movie. If Martin had not seen the movie before, he would have been confused when he first read the script.
He said: "It's a story about a dream."
Mene scratched his head: "There is a dream within a dream, and it has confused me."
Martin reminded me: "You are a supporting actor and your role is very important. If you don't understand something, hurry up and figure it out..."
Meine nodded repeatedly and said: "I have recently made an appointment with Emma, and she has been interpreting the script for me."
Martin had nothing to say.
Because of Uncle Mene standing in front of him, and the plug-in Emma Thomas.
Chad interjected at this time: "In the second sequel, I plan to increase the interaction between your character and Mene's character, so that there will be more chemistry between you and the scenes will be more interesting."
Martin said: "Okay."
Chad called Martin to the window to talk about the sequel.
Meine planned to follow, but was stopped by Bruce.
“What's the matter?” he asked.
Bruce lowered his voice and said: "Going to Cannes, France, in the middle of next month?"
Mene reacted: "Cannes Film Festival? By the way, the boss's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. I will definitely go to attend!"
“This film will be in competition.”
Although he is not a qualified celebrity manager, Bruce will do some things quietly: "The chairman of this jury is the veteran French actress Isabelle Huppert."
Hearing the name, Menet immediately met the person in his mind, his eyes sparkling: "I know she is extremely talented, has a kind of classical beauty, is known as the most beautiful French rose, and is the actress with the highest status in the French entertainment industry. "
He thought about Isabelle Huppert's age: "She is the goddess of literature and art that I admire most!"
Bruce said: "We will go to Cannes together then."
Meine nodded repeatedly: "I want to meet my goddess of literature and art!"
The two chatted quietly for a while. The door of the lounge opened from the outside, and Marcus swayed in like an inflated balloon.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened the ice soda and took a big sip, and said: "I would rather face the guerrillas in Afghanistan than face these reporters again!"
Chad turned around and comforted: "Just get used to it."
Martin knows that as the political situation changes, Marcus may face more complicated situations in the future. He said: "In the future, no professional public relations and agents will be present, so do not answer any questions from the media."
Marcus had just experienced a storm of attacks from media reporters, and he was still frightened: "I will never forget this."
Martin nodded and continued: "After the memoir adaptation project is approved and released, there will be more reporters surrounding you, so get used to it slowly."
Marcus was very concerned about the adaptation of the memoirs and asked: "Is the adaptation ready to be approved?"
“Thomas is looking for a suitable director.” Martin briefly introduced: “The project production budget is around US$40 million. The Koreans have agreed to invest in this war film. If everything goes well, it will be released in North American theaters in 2011.”
This is a movie based on himself. Marcus wanted to see it on the big screen as soon as possible. Now that the memoir is on the market and the movie is about to be approved, his biggest wish has been fulfilled.
ˆ Martin's studio has basically reached distribution arrangements with Warner Bros., and will hire Akiva Goldsman, recommended by Daniel, as the project producer. His representative works in recent years include "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "I Am Legend."
As for the director, Thomas gave feedback to WMC, which is helping to find a suitable director.
Marcus took a short break and went out to sign books.
Martin and others are leaving.
The group of them left the commercial square, and suddenly there was a shout from the opposite side.
“Martin, I love you!”
“Forever CocCola God of War!” “Martin, I want to give birth to a child for you!”
A dozen beautiful girls in wedding dresses ran out from a group of people and blocked the path of Martin and his party.
Bruce quickly stood in front of Martin and said to Martin behind him: "It's them again!"
Martin also recognized the girls, waved to them and said, "I love you too."
The girls gathered around.
Martin once again fulfilled their wish for autographs, but was reluctantly dragged away by Bruce.
The two of them work well together and focus on one fan.
Martin is a good guy, and of course Bruce is the bad guy.
The girls in wedding dresses chased Martin's car for dozens of meters before stopping.
One of them said: "Martin is so kind, but that bodyguard was so hateful that he forcibly dragged Martin away."
"Yes! Yes!" said the fast-talking one: "Martin loves us, and we love Martin, but there are layers of obstacles in the middle."
The leader Aisha is extremely determined: "None of this can stop our love for Martin!"
He said quickly and talkatively: "Acting Head, you are absolutely right!"
Hearing this, Aisha was unhappy: "I would like to emphasize again, Toni is no longer the leader, I am your leader now!"
Another person asked: "When will Toni come back? I can't reach her on the phone."
“No one answers the phone!”
“Isn't Toni in an accident?”
When Aisha heard that these people were still thinking about their old leader, she could only say: "Toni has something to do at home. She has to go back and stay for a while. She will be back in a while."
After being the leader of the group for this period of time, Elsa hoped that Toni would never come back.
As long as Toni does not come back, Elsa believes that she will become the new eldest sister as time goes by.
In the car driving away, Martin straightened his clothes and said, "Fortunately, they are not crazy yet."
Bruce agreed: "In the United States, a truly qualified crazy fan must assassinate the President of the United States for verification!"
Mene responded: "I remember Guan Hai when he first came on stage and visited Martin in the hospital." Because of the same skin color, he crossed himself on his chest: "God bless him, nothing will happen to him."
Martin said: "Don't worry, I am neither Manson nor Jodie Foster, and the fans are not that crazy."
Chad joked: "You're right, they just want to help you have a baby, they don't have any bad intentions."
Meine and Bruce laughed.
Martin had no idea about children, but when he thought of the children in the Nicholson family, Lorraine seemed to be the most promising one. He quickly shook his head: "Children are too scary. I'm not ready yet."
Mene said: "If Celine Dion can give me a child, the future will definitely be very bright."
Bruce, who was driving, asked: "How much property does she have?"
Meine thought for a moment and said, "There must be several hundred million."
Chad was envious: "I want to have your skills. Being a director is tiring and stressful."
A few people entered the Warner Studio talking nonsense.
Chad returned to the John Wick studio alone, and the three of them rushed to Nolan's office and received the crew's shooting schedule for the previous month from Emma Thomas.
Different from the past, because Morocco provides high tax rebates and subsidy policies, the filming base of the crew is located in Ouarzazate, the African Hollywood. Except for some outdoor scenes, all studio scenes will be shot at Atlas Studios. .
After the Oscar ceremony, Nolan rushed to Morocco with the crew to make final preparations for filming.
This also means that Martin will stay in Africa for a long time in the future.
Fortunately, Morocco is one of the most politically stable countries in Africa, and is also one of Hollywood's favorite overseas filming bases. The Moroccan authorities attach great importance to the overseas crews who come to film, and will even dispatch professional security teams to ensure the crew's safety during filming. Security Matters.
Martin also planned his itinerary accordingly. He would first go to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival, and after the Cannes Film Festival was over, he would go directly from France to Morocco.
At the end of May, the new project will officially start shooting.
Martin's work schedule for the second half of the year is basically confirmed, and he will join the cast of "Gone Girl".
ˆ Davis Studio and Louise's Pacific Film and Television Production Company jointly established the "Gone Girl" studio. Louise has fully taken over the project and is running novel publishing and other related matters.
David Fincher also signed a director's contract with Gone Girl Studio and officially confirmed to direct this project.
Before Martin left Los Angeles, he specially called David Fincher and Gillian Flynn to chat together for a while. The three creative ideas were highly consistent, and the only differences were in minor matters.
Gillian Flynn had been a screenwriter before. After David Fincher consulted Martin for his opinion, he simply let Gillian, the author of the original work, adapt the movie script himself.
To resolve these matters, in mid-May, Martin and David Fincher joined the crew and flew to Paris together.
