249 QT and QB
Although the theme of "King of War" has gained the bonus of anti-war and the performance of actor Cage also added a lot of points, it is still not the biggest winner in May.
The series "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost's Threat" reigned after many years.
After its sharpness passed, "Fast and Furious" hit the screen in a high-profile manner.
As a result of a large number of wrestlers joining the film, the two major leagues of WWF and WCW were helping "Fast and Furious" warm up two months ago. In June, except for the filming of "Gladiator" and some private affairs, starring Bai Quinn, James Franko, Jennifer Connery, Eva Green, etc., including Eminem, who only showed his face and performed in a friendly manner, all went to the wrestling arena to make guest appearances, and the purpose was to win-win movie box office and wrestling subscription.
"Fast and Furious" is released on July 4th during the National Day holiday. This time is carefully selected, avoiding the two rivals of "Star Wars" and "Deep Sea Mad Shark", and also leaving the screen for the second half of the summer vacation for his "Supernatural Sixth Sense".
Adrenaline-burning movies like "Fast and Furious" are quite in line with the festive atmosphere, giving young people who have finished the National Day fireworks a reason to enter the cinema, but their shortcomings are also obvious. They focus on entertainment and have too shallow foundations and are not suitable for long-term screenings. The reputation must be a sharp turn.
In order to quickly harvest audiences in the first two weeks of its release, Kolov's online publicity team focused on the racing scenes and continuous explosions, accompanied by a cool-clad racing girl wearing a cool shirt.
The crew also took a special promotional video for this group consisting of female wrestlers and UFC snatch girls.
Although there are not many scenes of these beauties, they each have a group of die-hard fans. At the instigation of the "fan head", they screamed and booked the premiere.
Since "Fast and Furious" was filmed in New York, the premiere was naturally placed in the "Big Apple". As for how many Hollywood big names came from Los Angeles to attend the premiere, it was not what Bai Quinn was concerned about.
He only cares about who doesn't come!
Big names who have worked with Wademark in the near future will definitely not be absent. Bruce Willis, who starred in "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", is the first to be affected.
Nicholas Cage also put aside the filming of "Sixty Seconds" and came to help, and also abducted the heroine Angelina Jolie.
Also bringing the heroine of the movie being filmed is Jet Lee, the hot urban pop queen Alia, who brought a group of fanatical teenage fan girls to the premiere.
Jack Cheng, who is filming "Shanghai Noon", is certainly not absent. Disney, the producer of the film, arranged a black actor as his partner. Coincidentally, the bearded talk show host Jamie Fox also came today.
Compared to his own filming of "Rush Hour 2", Bai Quinn is not optimistic about "Shanghai Noon". The protagonist is black and yellow, and the villains are all white. Although they are politically correct, the setting of the times is very strange.
Black cowboy, no big picture!
Unfortunately, his complaints did not receive the support of Quentin Tarantino, who had just hugged him and kissed each other on the cheeks. The boy actually said that he had long wanted to film a story about a black cowboy!
"QB, don't you think that a black-skinned cowboy is cool? Who stipulates that the cowboy must be white or Indian? I think the producer of Shanghai Noon is a genius. If he sets this black man to come to the West to hunt down the slave owner who exploited him back then..."
Bai Quinn looked up and wanted to find Chris to take over the chatterbox. Quentin, who was attracted to this guy, now doesn't know where to hide.
While chatting, the two smiled at the reporter's camera. Such an intimate move was announcing to Hollywood that the rift of the Italian gang disappeared, and the Quentin and the Soprano brothers reconciled again.
Originally, Goulei Pictures, which was jointly established by Quentin and Weinstein brothers, closed down due to poor management, and formed a gap between the old partners. After the Oscar "Oolong" incident, the Weinstein brothers lost power in Miramax, which further strengthened Quentin's determination to switch to Wademark's image. Today, he took the initiative to come to the premiere of "Fast and Furious" and was his vote.
Seeing that Quentin was still reluctant to leave after taking the photo, Bai Quinn knew that he had something to say. Then he thought about it and took him into the cinema on an excuse, and the two of them went around to a corner.
He wanted to hear what Quentin wanted to say.
In the past two years, Quentin has always played guest appearances in other people's films and has also set up an unsuccessful production company. The company's biggest achievement was that it introduced Wong Kar-wai's "Chongqing Forest", which won a box office of 600,000 US dollars, while his own film project has never made any progress.
Some people say that Quentin, who produced "The Drops", "Pulp Novels" and "Dangerous Relationship", has exhausted his talents, but Bai Quinn still has a little confidence in Quentin.
The main reason is the only fragment of Uma Thurman's character, Uma Thurman, wearing the same yellow jumpsuit as Bruce Lee, was barefoot and holding a samurai sword.
He didn't care about this image at all, and there were many films paying tribute to Bruce Lee. Perhaps Uma Thurman happened to succeed.
However, at a party organized by Harvey, Quentin, who was relying on Miramax's big ship, talked about some very private topics, including some fun-inspired role-playing roles by him and his ex-girlfriend Uma Thurman, which happened to have the same yellow jumpsuit in Bruce Lee.
After that, Bai Quinn firmly believed that there would be no other person who could realize this character's image except for the crazy Quentin.
This is also the main reason why he agreed to Quentin to surrender. This foot fetish should have not squandered all his talents.
Just come here and be a director honestly. It just so happens that Wademark still lacks a director. Don’t try to set up a production company, that’s really not suitable for Quentin.
"QT, do you have a new movie plan?"
Time is tight and Bai Quinn, who has to continue to receive other guests, simply guides his topic.
An awkward and unnatural expression flashed across Quentin's face, and then he said carelessly: "You guessed it is so accurate. QB, it is a theme of World War II. I have thought of the name. It is called "Inglorious Bastard". I want to make a Western pasta-style World War II movie!"
"Western pasta" refers to an American western film filmed by a group of Italian filmmakers in Europe in the late 1960s.
Compared with the orthodox American western films that were gradually declining in Hollywood at that time, more commercial Italian filmmakers made their "western films" very patterned.
The protagonist of each "Western Pasta" is a mysterious person with a foreigner with a sloppy appearance but a unique skill. In many such movies, the protagonist uses the same name "Brother Jiang".
The supporting role is also quite stereotypical, the righteous town sheriff; by chance, she collaborates with the protagonist "Brother Jiang", and finally the bounty hunter who appreciates each other among the heroes; the beautiful and innocent heroine, including the daughter of the farmer, the female teacher of the church school, and the wine seller in the bar...
The villain must be the leader of the local gangsters, and the subordinates are all Mexicans. The ending must be that justice defeats evil, and then the protagonist will go after the matter, hiding his merits and fame.
"Is it Uma Thurman starring?"
Bai Quinn asked impatiently.
Quentin glanced at his current girlfriend, Julie Drivers, not far away, and said in a low voice: "Although I don't have this plan, I will consider it..."
Bai Quinn thought carefully. In the background of World War II, Bruce Lee's yellow onesie and samurai sword appeared was too unreliable, so he looked at the door with a lack of interest, ready to find a chance to get rid of Quentin.
Not now, QT, not now, you should go back and study the yellow onesie!
Quentin naturally also saw Bai Quinn's impatientness, his eyes turned and he said, "Actually, Fxxk's World War II theme is not something I'm fiddling with. I have a good project on hand, which I finally got. Unfortunately, I have found a partner..."
If you said you needed to grab it earlier, I wouldn't be sleepy!
I, Bai Quinn, have been in Hollywood for the past few years and have grabbed so many projects, I can’t count them myself!
"What is it? QT, let's hear it? Is there a samurai sword?"
What the hell is a samurai sword?
Uma Thurman plus a samurai sword... Quentin felt that his inspiration was opened up all of a sudden!
But time is tight, so let’s talk about the main things first.
"It's Marvel's Iron Man!"
Why is it Iron Man again?
Bai Quinn felt that everyone around him was playing Iron Man's idea.
It was Nicholas Cage at the beginning, and their joint agent Mike Cock also looked around for the script of Iron Man and Fox, who held copyright.
Then there was Tomco. Before Tomco finalized a salary cut to star in "Magnolia", he also used his upcoming role as a bargaining chip to tell Wademark's image, "If you add more, I won't play Tony Stark!"
Next, it was reported that Whden, who created "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", will write a script for Fox's Iron Man.
Now it's Quentin Tarantino's turn again.
Found that Bai Quinn was interested, Quentin hurriedly said, "It's like that. I wrote a version of the Iron Man script for Fox some time ago. You know, I am a Marvel fan. I like early Marvel, especially those Marvel comics that were curated and drawn by Jack Kirby and written by Stan Lee..."
“Fox adopted your script?”
Bai Quinn had to speed up the conversation. He didn't have time to listen to how Quentin loved comics. However, as far as he knew, Quentin had completed the two scripts, Silver Filmmaker and Luke Cage, but failed to shoot for various reasons. Then he turned his head to shoot "Pulp Novel".
I don’t know if this is a loss to the comics industry or a lucky movie industry.
And Bai Quinn knows who is the future Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr., who is now in prison. This kid has only two fragments of the character, one is Iron Man and the other is Sherlock Holmes.
"No..." Quentin said helplessly.
Bai Quinn wants to leave!
"But... I can ask Fox to sell you the copyright of Iron Man, as long as you use me as the screenwriter and director..."
Is there such a good thing?
Iron Man will become popular, this is the perception that Bai Quinn established after getting the character fragments in Robert Downey Jr., otherwise he would not have disagreeed with the public opinion that Robert Downey Jr., who was plagued by drug addiction in "The Killing of All" wanted to accumulate some incense at the time.
If I could get the copyright of Iron Man and the kindness that I had brought Robert Downey Jr., maybe the image of Wademark could be filmed "Iron Man".
Now, there is also a director who comes to his door. Although he is average in character and loves curious, he is very talented!
"Well, it's interesting. Let's discuss it carefully. Remember to come to me. How about tomorrow?...Ah! Sophia! Long time no see..."
The newly-appeared woman Bai Quinn had to say hello. Although his father Francis Coppola is not a member of the Italian gang, he is the best partner of the Italian gang. Everyone helps each other. Several famous directors of the Italian gang were all supported by Coppola back then, not to mention that Bai Quinn's good brother Nicholas Cage is also a member of the Coppola family, so he is Sophia's cousin.
"Sorry, I missed Berlin and Cannes again..."
At this year's Berlin Film Festival, Sofia Coppola participated as the executive producer of "The King of War". Next, in Cannes, she took "Girls Go Forward" to participate in the competition, which she collaborated with Wademark Image.
Unfortunately, Bai Quinn was unable to attend due to busy business.
Sofia held Bai Quinn's hand very naturally and said, "You just need to miss my wedding! QB."
"Who is the lucky one who can marry such a beautiful lady as you?"
Quentin Tarantino, who followed, suddenly interrupted and took Sofia Coppola's hand without seeing any signs and kissed her on the back of her hand.
"I'm glad to meet you for the first time, Miss Sophia!"
"This is Quentin. I don't think he needs me to introduce it. Just call him QT. We used to call each other like this. At that time, Mira..."
Having heard that Bai Quinn wanted to mention Mira Sorvino, Quentin hurriedly said: "QB, please leave your precious time to Lady, Miss Sophia..."
Sofia Coppola gently pulled her hand back and said with a smile: "It's Spike Jones, he is also a director. We met on a rock band MTV. He is the director of MTV. I was an actor at that time and played the leading role."
"Ah, you've also filmed MTV? I still remember your performance in "The Godfather 3"..."
If you can’t chat, don’t talk!
When Bai Quinn saw that Quentin was going to bring out the most shameful performance experience of Sophia, he quickly interrupted: "Sophia, what day is your wedding? I will definitely have time to attend!"
"On the 17th of this month, it was held on Long Island. I have already given Lena the invitation letter. I thought you might still be filming in Malta..."
"I just came back two days ago. Oh, it's getting late, I'll send you into the cinema..."
Quentin deliberately slowed down, stared at Sophia's feet in front of him, pulled Bai Quinn's sleeve, and whispered: "Can you help me get a wedding invitation? QB..."
Why……

I have had a severe cold these days. The good news is that I took a CT scan, which is not pneumonia, so I should not stop during the holidays.
Please give me some comfort to me!
Thank you guys!
