Chapter 466 "Charlie's Angels"

Please subscribe to Qidian, monthly tickets, collections, and recommendation tickets

On Tuesday, February 12, "Spider-Man" was officially released in many cinemas across the Pacific.

Although the number of cinemas across the Pacific is far from comparable to that of North America, and it is during the Spring Festival, the attendance rate of the film is very good.

On the first day of its release, the overall attendance rate reached about 50%, completely exceeding the expectations of Orion Pictures and China Film.

Originally, as an external Hollywood film, the screening rate of "Spider-Man" must have some restrictions. The premiere only received a screening rate of 35%, which was negotiated by China Film Group after many negotiations.

However, on the first day of "Spider-Man", it still won 18.65 million yuan in box office.

As a result, the screening rate of "Spider-Man" rose directly to more than 50% on the second day of its release.

This first-day box office result and screening rate may not be anything in North America, but it is absolutely shocking to be placed on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Even with the box office trend of "Spider-Man", it is almost a matter of time to exceed 100 million.

I dare not say that it can eventually break the box office record set by "Titanic", but it is estimated that there is no big problem than "Pearl Harbor".

In this era, what restricts the box office of films across the Pacific is not the quality of the film, but the scale of theater companies.

In many movie theaters in third- and fourth-tier cities and county-level cities, Orion Pictures and China Film basically do not receive box office sales.

However, with the increase in the promotional and marketing budget of "Spider-Man" and the increase in the screening rate, the single-day box office performance on Wednesday increased by a fraction from Tuesday, with a single-day box office of 21.32 million yuan.

In just two days after its release, the box office accumulated on the other side of the Pacific Ocean reached 39.98 million.

With super high box office results, huge premieres, and investment projects of up to $5 billion, "Spider-Man" naturally attracted a lot of attention.

The media's attention further increased the popularity of the film, and even many people who don't usually watch movies walked into the cinema with curiosity this time.

At the same time, several starring actors from the crew were divided into two and went to several important cities to promote their business. They were expected to return to Los Angeles in early March.

Rain did not follow the crew to promote it, but instead visited the various suburbs of the Magic City.

To be precise, it mainly revolves around Dongchuansha Town.

It is next to Pudong International Airport, with convenient road transportation and can attract overseas tourists in the future. There are not many people who need to be relocated and there is no need to reclaim the sea.

It can be said that the geographical location is very superior.

After staying in Dongchuansha Town for a few days, Ryan felt very satisfied and left Nancy Utterly and others to continue the investigation, while he himself took a private plane back to the United States.

Back in Los Angeles, Ryan temporarily puts things on the other side of the Pacific Ocean aside and turns to the preparations for the crew of "Charlie's Angels".

Due to the sudden 9/11 incident, the preparations for the crew of "Charlie's Angels" were greatly affected.

Fortunately, the impact of the 9/11 incident gradually faded, and Hollywood has returned to the right track.

The only thing that changed is probably the status of black actors, commonly known as "political correctness".

"Sol!"

"Switch another set."

In the studio, Ryan and Joseph McGinty Nichch, director of the film "Charlie's Angels", looked at the fashionable and beautiful Charlize Theron, Hillary Swank and Li Meiqi.

"How are these pieces?" Saul, who is the costume designer of the film, quickly brought in several very exposed sets of clothes.

One of the sets only has a few pieces of fabric, which can barely cover up the key parts.

Seph McGinty Nicht just glanced and nodded, "You can try it."

Looking at Charlize Theron, Hillary Swank, and Li Meiqi went to the locker room to change clothes, Ryan frowned slightly, "Seph, don't you think these sets of clothes are too sexy!"

"Too sexy!" Seph McGinty Nicht looked at Ryan in confusion.

This is his first time directing a film, or a commercial film with considerable investment. In the past, Seff McGinty Nichch mainly shot advertisements, song MVs, photo photos, etc.

So for him, the few outfits just now can be called sexy at most and not very exposed.

However, Ryan has different opinions, and the reason for choosing him to direct is very simple.

The original version of "Charlie's Angels" was directed by Seph McKinty Nichch.

Ryan smiled and shrugged and said, "This is an action video, you can show off your sexy, but you can't be too naked and show the camera."

"Don't forget, we have the next sequel to film."

The selling point of the original first "Charlie's Angels" is a fashion action video that integrates beauty, fashion, action, cool and sexy, rather than a color and erotic video that relies on selling meat.

Of course, in the second original "Charlie's Angels", several heroines became very exposed.

"What's more, sexy doesn't necessarily mean naked, revealing." Ryan said meaningfully.

It doesn't have to be too much leak, it's considered sexy.

As long as Charlize Theron, Hillary Swank, and Li Meiqi's respective female characteristics, such as charm and tall figure, can also make people shine.

At worst, you can perform various uniform temptations like the original version.

Seff McGinty Nicht thought for a while and said, "It seems that the crew needs to find a professional design team."

"But, this may require increasing the cost of filming."

"Seff!" Ryan shook his head and said, "Not one, but at least three professional design teams."

"The three heroines in the film, each need a professional design team."

To put it bluntly, it is to tailor the costumes, shapes, movements, behaviors, etc. of each heroine according to the characteristics of the characters in the script.

Make sure that the three heroines in the film can be eye-catching enough.

"How is this set!" Charlize Theron first changed his clothes and came back, standing under the light and turning around.

Ryan's eyes fell on Charlize Theron's almost snow-white naked back and said, "It seems a bit like a Bon girl."

Hearing a few words from the Bon Girl, Seph-McKinty-Nicher seemed to have a hint of embarrassment flashed through.

It is true that Bon girls are famous for their beauty and sexyness.

The Kerbon Girl is only the foil and vase in the 007 series of films, while Charlize Theron is one of the three heroines in "Charlie's Angels".

The role positioning of the two is completely different.

"Switch another set."

Ryan touched his chin and said, "Find a tights, it's best to highlight your figure."

"In addition, Hillary Swank, Li Meiqi will change it."

Charlize Theron didn't say much and walked towards the locker room again.

After a while, Charlize Theron, Hillary Swank and Li Meiqi stood under the light again.

Ryan took a closer look and said, "The lights are too soft, a little brighter."

Upon hearing this, the lighting clerk immediately adjusted the brightness of the light until Ryan felt satisfied.

At this time, Charlize Theron, Hillary Swank and Li Meiqi under the light were all wearing tight clothes, long hair, convex figure, and slender legs.

Ryan asked them to pose in one look again, and for a moment, their temperament gradually changed, making them look sexy and fashionable.

Ryan turned to the costume designer Thor and said, "The clothing style is simpler, try to be simple and sexy, full of fashion."

"And why do you need to wear flat shoes!"

Charlize Theron and Li Meiqi's feet were replaced with flat shoes.

"It looks a little more coordinated." Thor gestured at the heights of the three people.

Among the three, Charlize Theron has the highest figure, followed by Meiqi Li, who is 1.7 meters tall. In contrast, Hillary Swank is slightly shorter, only 1.65 meters tall.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Ryan nodded and said, "High heels can reflect the sexy charm of women. In terms of height, you can adjust the shooting angle."

When shooting, height is not a big problem and is easy to solve.

High heels are essential.

As for whether the scenes such as fighting and chasing in the film are in line with reality, it is not something the film company and crew consider, and no audience will care about this.

Filming in crews needs to be considered from a commercial perspective, not from a realistic perspective.

Seph McGinty Nicher secretly remembered the suggestions made by Ryan, which was undoubtedly a good inspiration for him.

In any case, this is the first time he has directed a video himself. In terms of experience, he cannot compare with Ryan.

During the break, Greg Silver, director of the production department of Orion Films, walked in from outside.

"James Huang, I called yesterday. He seemed to be interested in restarting the shooting plan for the "Death is Coming" series." Greg Silver said in a low voice.

"You can promise him." Ryan was not surprised by this.

"The Ending Warrant for the Universe" released in early November last year did not meet expectations. It only earned 19.11 million US dollars in three days in the first weekend, and the accumulated box office in North America was only 40.22 million US dollars, which is much lower than the original version.

The overseas box office is also not very good, with only US$28.78 million and the global box office is 69 million.

Such a global box office result would be very good if it were a low-cost R-level film, or even a big seller.

But the budget for this film is very high, and investment companies obviously cannot reap the costs from the box office.

Even if it includes revenue from related copyrights, DVD copyrights, etc., it is estimated that it will be difficult to bring profits.

As the director and editor of the film, James Huang will probably not invite him to direct him in a short period of time.

In desperation, James Huang had no choice but to come back and continue filming the "Death is Coming" series.

"By the way, this is a script sent by Len Wiseman."

Greg Silver suddenly took out a script and handed it to Ryan and said, "A story about werewolf and vampire."
