Blackstone Code Chapter 1206: Adapted
After Fox Jr.'s presentation on the past, present, and imagining the future, the lights in the hall dim.
This is a very traditional premiere, but there are more academic seniors, more film critics, and fewer lucky people who bought various products and got the premiere invitation coupons.
Yes, it's also one of the Laltimore traditions, and you can enter a raffle with any purchase in Laltimore.
The jar for the lottery came from the Actors Guild. Usually, there will be some ordinary movie theater tickets in it. If there is any premiere, there will also be some invitation tickets for the premiere.
You can participate in the premiere with these invitation coupons, which is probably some of the benefits given to ordinary people by the entire city and even the entire industry, stimulating them to spend in this city.
After all, the bigger the premiere, the more heavyweight stars will be present, and the desire to get up close and personal with these people can make them clean their pockets for the last penny!
The story of the movie and the real story have been slightly changed. After all, no one wants the heroine to appear only in the "first half", and also hope that she can appear in the second half.
With Penny and Nelly's on-screen opposites, the two girls also have a new plot.
As soon as the actor appeared, some of the audience exclaimed, a very handsome actor, still very young.
Of course he's still a bit worse than Lynch, but I have to admit he's already handsome.
"The shooting plan has been delayed for this guy...", Penny explained in Lynch's ear, the actor was the one selected by the sea.
Selected from tens of thousands of applicants, he needs more than just luck, there are many other sacrifices, such as... contracts.
"Fox signed him to a full six-year, twenty-film deal, and he got very little!"
This is certainly inevitable. The purpose of choosing new people is to squeeze and exploit the value of actors to the greatest extent.
There are many brokerage companies and production companies in the Federation who are good at digging out new talents, but their digging and training are not without cost.
Many people only see the side of the stars, but they can't see the real them.
For example, this handsome man on the screen will inevitably detonate the leading actor in the movie industry. In the next six years, no matter how high his net worth rises, he will use the contract price he signed at the beginning. The price of about 20,000 yuan a piece took over the company's film.
In addition to these, all the endorsements, etc., Fox wants to get 80%, he can only get 20%.
It may seem...unbelievable, but even then there are a lot of people willing to sign a contract with the company.
Everyone has a star dream, and there is always someone willing to pay any price to become a star!
And with the support of the company, after the contract ends, he can enjoy the contract of the A-list star, if he does not leave the industry halfway.
In fact, on the other hand, this contract is not so unreasonable. At least a newcomer who is not well-known, the company also needs to take various risks.
Every time a new movie is cast, every event, if he can't become a big star of the Federation as the company imagined, then all the company's efforts will be in vain!
It's actually a fair deal, one party takes all the risk, so naturally they need more in return.
As the actor does not take any risk, he must exchange for equal returns through labor.
There are also some people who want to settle with the company after they become popular. This kind of thing is impossible from the beginning. Capitalists know better than judges how to use each legal clause properly to protect their interests.
Maybe there are brokerage companies, production companies, or directors who are good at finding new talent in this world, but their purpose is not limited to shooting a movie, but to pursue greater wealth value!
Lynch continued to watch the movie, and the story in the movie started from boarding the ship, and the shooting was very realistic, because they did rent the boat that happened.
The boat belongs to every moment. It used to run twice a year. At other times, if the company does not use it, it will be thrown to a travel company and other places to do sightseeing tours.
In other words, as long as they give money, they are willing to rent out the yacht, not to mention that the yacht will become more valuable after the disaster and the filming of the movie. Every moment the company has no reason to refuse Fox Pictures requirements.
In the beginning, it was basically the same as what happened in the real world, the pirates lurking in the crew, the deviated course, the pirates' appearance, the rhythm was very tense.
From the very beginning, people were not given much time to relax. Many people felt their bodies tense when they saw it. Influenced by the content of the movie, they became more and more tense with the plot.
The plot changed a bit after the pirates boarded the ship, nothing changed in Lynch's story, but Penny's storyline changed a bit.
Originally she just hid and waited for it to end, but in the movie she is tasked with restoring the telegraph.
Of course, the adaptation of the episode's plot is not made up. Everyone knows that this girl has never been to college, and she can't complete the important task of independently repairing the telegraph.
Her task is to find a way to get to the workshop on the transfer floor and get the damaged spare parts out of the telegraph.
There are a lot of pirates on every level below deck, of course there's a small hole here, there shouldn't be that many pirates, but who cares?
This kind of obvious loophole does not affect the experience of watching the movie, but it will make people look forward to those exciting plots because there are more enemies.
In this way, Lynch finds a way to deal with the pirates on the deck, fighting wits and courage, while Penny dives down at the risk of being killed at any time. The change of the whole movie plot is still successful.
Nellie's character was arranged to be a tourist who was on board at the beginning, and there was some conflict with Penny at the beginning. After the pirates took control of the whole ship, she came to the front, and thus began Her and the story line of the whole plot.
It is very tense and exciting, and the filming techniques are also very mature, and the writer's idea is also unique. The length of 80 minutes makes it impossible to find a moment to relax!
The expressions of the academics are also very serious, whether they are interested in the film or not, they are enough to clearly recognize its value, the market value.
They do not admit that it is artistic, because its shooting techniques and plot lack depth, only pursuing sensory stimulation, ignoring the sublimation of the soul and personality, without these, it is not art.
But it's got to be lucrative, and people would love a movie like this, which made those old folks a little bit unhappy.
They have worked all their lives, and they may have sold their best movies for tens of thousands of dollars, but now any movie can be sold for hundreds of thousands, millions, or even three or five million, which makes them The position in the industry is getting more and more embarrassing.
Although they are called the founders, there really is nothing particularly classic, or something that is particularly good at hand, which is probably the reason for their crazy pursuit of artistry.
Because art is priceless.
Critics are watching the movie seriously, and they are more commercial in their approach to the movie.
In the commercialized society, film critics also need to adjust their positioning. Some people pursue the artistry of the film, but the columns of these people are more and more roaring in film newspapers or film magazines, and their length is getting bigger and bigger. Small.
There may be a group of die-hard fans who support them, but there is not much market for film critics of pure art. On the contrary, commercial films are booming. s position.
You can see that they are serious, which is enough to show that this is an excellent movie.
As for the ordinary lucky ones, they were so nervous that they even breathed a lot easier.
Little Fox, who was watching the moviegoers on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief that he made it!
At seven o'clock, the movie ended. With the huge flames, several speedboats broke through the fireworks and stepped out. The hero and heroine in the movie successfully achieved self-rescue, and cooperated with the coast police to eliminate the pirates.
The first audience stood up and applauded spontaneously, and then more and more people stood up, and the movie theater burst into applause.
The screening room at the Palace Theatre can hold 2,000 people, it is also the largest screening room in Laltimore, and whether people like it or not, when the vast majority of people stand up and applaud, they have to go with the flow.
Applause, and praise for the success of the film.
Next is a sumptuous dinner, which Fox Pictures has prepared for a long time, so they won't be so stingy.
After watching the movie, under the guidance of the staff, everyone entered the huge restaurant, which is full of chefs and ingredients, and anyone can eat what they want.
Fox Jr. said hello to Lynch ~IndoMTL.com~ and took a step away, he had to go and say hello to the old men.
In order to make these old men feel the respect of Fox Pictures, Fox Jr. entertained them alone in the restaurant next door.
The elegant and clean environment, the comfortable slow-paced piano music, the beautiful waitresses and the sumptuous and delicious dinner make every founder of film art very satisfied. Valued, they feel they are respected.
Isn't that what they want?
Sitting at the dining table, waving sterling silver cutlery and devouring food, the compliments between the conversations make it all seem so harmonious.
Next door, in the lively restaurant, people are still talking about the movie they just watched, and film critics rarely discuss the plot of the movie with the pure audience.
Lynch was sitting in the corner, and someone tried to come over to chat with him, but was stopped.
The person who was rejected was not angry, but apologized for interrupting Mr. Lynch's thinking rashly, and turned to leave.
If this is a painting, it must be named Vanity Fair!
