Chapter 188: Back to busy

Chapter 188 Return to Busy
After spending Christmas ※ After the holiday of New Year, like many people, Wang Yang returned to the world of work, and now he has arranged many things for himself. Despite being a strong physique martial artist, Wang Yang was still almost cramped, and he was too busy to have 48 hours a day, of course 7 hours would be better.
Regardless of the identity of the chairman of Flame Movies, sometimes it is necessary to make some company decisions and give instructions; his current title is "T--Team" as the producer director and writer, although several producers share the task, this film Most of the film's things still have to be done in person, forming a film crew, selecting actors, describing split-screen scripts, etc .; then there is the producer and screenwriter of "Prison Break", the producer and screenwriter of "Kung Fu Panda", and the producer of "Rage".
As for the determination to release "Hangover" in the summer vacation of 4 years, he is too busy to take care of its production. Besides, the flame movie is not alone, looking for a production writer to choose a director to take over, everything will naturally go smoothly . Fortunately, he did n’t need and planned to ask too much about
Rage
. This 10,000-dollar drag racing movie is still in preparation and is expected to be turned on early this year.
In addition to finalizing the contract, directed by Lin Yibin, and produced by Michael Fttre11 and others, this movie has also selected Chris Morgan to play the script, not to do underground racing, but to focus on criminal robbery. Morgan was originally the screenwriter of "degrees and leaks", 4 and 5, and Lin Yibin can be said to be the ace partner, but now he is just an unknown newcomer, no reputation and no experience.
But Wang Yang had already made a patient plan for this. His post of supervisor was also to prevent them from making some serious mistakes, but he believed that given a period of time, "Rage" and Lin Yibin and others could grow up A classic for drag racing movies.
And Lin Yibin's "Hot Mochi" was released on a small scale in October last year. The widest screening of home theaters has achieved 10,000 box office in the whole line of paintings, not only to recover costs but also to make money. The other two works of the Fire Films series with great hopes, "The Chainsaw" took a month to complete the shooting, and now the editing has been completed, ready to participate in the Sundance Film Festival on the 8th; "Dancing out of my life" It is about to start shooting, ready to be released in October this year.
However, these are all related to Wang Yang, but he does not need to take care of him. The "Kung Fu Panda" he produced does not need to spend much time at present, because this cartoon is still in a long preparation stage; his work focuses on "T--Team "And" Prison Break "are so busy that the buttocks are smoking. This attitude of workaholics also makes some gossip media such as" Daily Entertainment "say:" The older the magical age, the more energetic. "
Wang Yang agrees with this very much, which is also inevitable. It is when the adult man secretes hormones frantically, and his beard has more physical strength. He thinks that the year should be another very busy year, at least it must be in the first half of the year, and there is not even time for travel and vacation. Although these are his favorite careers, it will not be irritating to do it; He sometimes thinks, should he slow down and pay more attention to the people and life around him?
In any case, he is now sitting on a moving train, still a long way from the next stop.
"Mr. Schlesner, in fact," T-Team "will not have any negative impact on you. You know that not everyone will play card counting. You wo n’t say watching a movie, and then you can become Jeff Ma. Now. "
In Los Angeles at night, Wang Yang was holding a telephone microphone in his hand, walking around in a warm living room with a Christmas atmosphere and some Chinese New Year decorations, while smiling at Gary Slesner on the phone. He said: "Although I don't want to, this is indeed an advertisement. For Caesars Palace and Las Vegas as a whole, after the movie, there will definitely be some people who are interested in counting cards to try their skills at the casino. "
"Hmm ..." Garry Slysner heard a voice from the microphone. He said: "I know, to be honest, we just don't like Jeff Ma and counting cards, because in this story." He has some He laughed ridiculously and said, "We are that fool."
Since I heard last year that Magic Young wanted to bring the story of Jack Mana to the big screen, the casino league in Las Vegas was like a big enemy, and then they saw a card counting plot in "The Hangover". Nothing, there is no specific calculation method disclosed, and it ’s unrealistic for a fat man to play a bit. It ’s not as operable as Rainman; but the magical Yang is endless. I want to join Jeff Ma and talk about that. How to help people win 10 million?
The spoken language should also be "to create a most professional and cool card counting movie", and Magic Young also laughed with the media and said, "Everyone will see how they play in the casino, and they will also know the real card counting. brand."
This is of great help to the publicity of "T-Team", which makes the audience excited before watching the movie; but it also makes the casinos in Las Vegas angry and angry, and the major casinos are reluctant to provide shooting venues. , Specifically refused, "We do not welcome everything related to counting cards." Even the Caesars Palace Hotel, which provided the venue for "The Hangover", shook his head.
They feared their faces at first, and secondly feared that when Magic Young publicized the "true card counting", many gamblers who learned how to count cards would flow into the casino, and they would really capture the apparent magic movie. Ben Mozrich's "Lacking Las Vegas" has a greater influence, maybe it can set off a wave of card counting.
MIT also refused to provide a filming location for this film, and T's attitude was also very firm. They were not allowed to step into the school half a step before they would not contribute to this "family misfortune."
According to some information in his mind, Wang Yang knew that the "Decision Point" had encountered the same situation. In the end, their crew did not solve the problem. As a result, they had to go to some small casinos and Boston University to film separately. But he didn't want to do that. The picture given by the big casino and T's real scene was very different from the "fake scene".
It's not that the casino table in the big casino is needed, but the characteristics of their scenes, such as the Caesars Palace Hotel. As soon as the Caesar statue in front of its main entrance appears on the screen, the audience will know that it is the Caesars Palace Hotel. There is a feeling of Las Vegas; only when Jeff Ma and others are crazy to win money, there is a feeling of "trapping Las Vegas".
But if there is no such scene feature, it is just an unknown small casino, the gambling table is indeed that gambling table, but where is the atmosphere? It does not constitute the taste of Las Vegas at all. It can be applied to the name of any city. Who cares about other cities?
This is also the reason why the "Decision Point" feels crappy, and the point team inside always goes to a fixed casino, which is a very stupid setting.
In fact, Jeff Ma and others were rotating in large and small casinos in the two casinos of Atlantic City and Las Vegas, so they were so mysterious, and novels and movies chose to put the theme in order to highlight the theme. They are set in Las Vegas. To have the atmosphere of a casino, the characteristics of those big casinos must appear in the camera, Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Four Queens, Horseshoe Casino ... the more the better
As a result, none of the families agreed, so Wang Yang decided to find a breakthrough here at the Caesars Palace. First, it was because the last time "Hangover" was filmed there and had a cooperative relationship. Second, Wu Yanzu's girlfriend Lisa Schlesner , Is the daughter of Gary Schlesner, president of Caesars Palace Hotel. In addition, Gary Slysner is a French-speaking hybrid. Among those casino tycoons, he is the most fond of Jeff Ma.
"Fantastic Young, I love your movie. I had a stomachache when I watched" Hangover "that day. Haha. In fact, it brought a lot of passenger traffic to Caesars Palace. This year's New Year holiday, our performance has increased a lot. Garry Slysner from the side chuckled a few times and said, "I personally have no prejudice against Jeff, but you know that Las Vegas is a whole. If Caesars Palace promises to let you shoot , How do you tell others? "
"This is definitely a very good advertisement." Wang Yang walked to Sha and sat confidently, smiling with confidence: "Mr. Schlesner, I just want Caesars Palace to help convince other casinos. Jeff and the point group These things have already been born. This is a fact that cannot be changed. I do n’t say that "T-Team" will definitely box office at 400 to 400 million, but countless people will know these facts, which is also a fact. "
He took a sip of a cup of fresh water on the coffee table and continued, "This can't be concealed, but what's the problem? Everyone knows the principles and techniques of card counting, the operation of the card counting team ... The audience knows that it will not have any impact. Now that you all use eight decks of automatic slot machines, even Jeff can't count them. "
"Besides knowing the principle does not mean it can be done. How many Jeff-Ma? One over the years. How many Stanford-Wang? Edward Thorpe? Maybe after the movie came out, the people who went to the casino would not play slot machines for the time being. Try it out, but if there is more traffic, the profit will definitely rise. We are going to arrange the main story at Caesars Palace, so that the audience will like you more, and you will benefit the most. Las Vegas is a whole, and there are many individual."
Wang Yang said with a laugh, Las Vegas is not a utopia, it is a city of sin
He finally said: "I know that the topic of counting cards is very sensitive and will make you look like a fool. But try to change your attitude and see, we are generous, decent, willing to admit the facts, funny ... Just a good image. Caesars Palace nodded in agreement, stood up and took the lead to make a gesture of "I respect history", everyone else will "Oh, we also provide it, but you can't suffer." Ok, why is Caesars Palace someone else? "
"Um ... sounds good, Yang Yang, you have convinced me a little." Gary Slysner's calm voice was full of contemplation, Wang Yang said with a smile: "The producer is relying on one mouth." Gary Slysna said, "Yan, so? We will discuss it again and give you an answer."
"Okay, bye bye" ended the call. Wang Yang put down his microphone and got up to walk to the study. He felt that Caesars Palace would finally agree that the business was always business. The businessmen would not give up for a little "face". Interests, not to mention a good reputation? Now the difference between him and "Decision Point" is that he has a greater influence.
The interest can convince these casinos, as long as they coax them, then they can be mocked. But what can be used to convince MIT? Wang Yang frowned, thinking of interest? What interest? T-level prestigious schools are not lacking in attractiveness and student resources. They are about to say, "You are not allowed to have T in your movie name." How can they change their minds?
But now the problem with "T--Team" on hand is not only the shooting site, the crew has some remaining formation work, and the selection of actors is basically finalized, but there is still a card counter who still has not solved it, he needs A chinese actress
"How is Zhang Ziyi?" Wang Yang, who was sitting in a rotating chair, shrugged suddenly and heard the recommendation of Mark Slante over there, and said to the phone: "She doesn't speak English, I don't want to voice over, let alone set. The actors in there ca n’t communicate with each other, so let ’s get to the next one.

Mark Slanter said suspiciously again: "So Bailing?" Wang Yangpo smirked out and googled Bailing, and said with a smile: "Why don't you look at her age? At 7 years old, I was looking for Young man, do n’t tell me about Liu Yuling and Yang Ziqiong ... oh please "
"My boss, I haven't been an agent for a long time. Don't ask me." Mark Srant's tone was full of helplessness. He was caught and answered the question when he called last night. He said: "I I wanted to talk to you about the Golden Globe. "
"What's the matter?" Wang Yang leaned his forehead against the back of the chair. How could it be so difficult to find a supporting actress? Over there Mark-Slante said happily: "Maybe you have the opportunity to win the best director, the Golden Globe judges revealed a bit of wind, they have some meaning to create a sensational thing, you know, years old, science fiction The movie ... "Wang Yang laughed casually:" Are you kidding me? "
Before the nomination of the Golden Globe Awards was announced last year, in order to gain votes for the "Ninth District", he and Robert Downey Jr. and other film crew creators participated in a press conference arranged by the public relations department to fully impact any award. At that time he didn't see anyone interested in awarding the trophy to him. Then, after the nomination was announced, it was stipulated that no more news meetings could be held, and Ernst & Young had already received the final votes from the judges a few days ago.
It can be said that the results of all awards have been born, but are in a state of high confidentiality.
"I'm not quite sure." Mark Srant is naturally not clear, but because the vote has been cut off, the public relations department can generally find some wind, but in fact the judges themselves do not know the result, there will be nothing Ok thing. Mark smiled: "Of the six nominees, if no one chooses Martin Scorsese, it is most likely you."
He added: "A lot of judges have a consensus. Wait until the Lord of the Rings to give Peter Jackson those awards; Alexander Payne has no topic; of course Stephen Dedley and Rob Marshall also have great opportunities. But it ’s better to give them to Martin Scorsese.
He said with a hey:
Jan, it depends on whether they choose the oldest or the youngest.

"You should look at my odds." Wang Yang was not excited by these winds and kept calm. There were surprises and disappointments, and he was really happy when he was nominated. Holding the mouse out of his hand, he smiled and said: "If you call these things, then I close the line, anyway, I will know the result in a few days, any guesses? Bye"
Putting down the phone, Wang Yang looked at the computer screen and continued to examine the script of "T--Team". Another work focus, "Prison Break", has been turned on and filmed. Now, some outdoor scenes will be performed first, followed by important scenes in the prison. He will go to the studio to see the shooting tomorrow. Thinking of these, he whispered softly: "Busy, busy, busy"
"Yang, look at my dress." After a short while, a soft and charming voice suddenly sounded at the door of the study. Wang Yang looked up and saw that Jessica was wearing a pink suit that looked It was a slippery silk camisole skirt, and two tempting thighs crossed together. She blinked: "How is it?" Wang Yang glared: "Wow, Victoria's secret-cool"
"Should I understand that, that ...?" He bit his index finger and said, "Do you want to play?" Jessica slowly stretched out a lazy waist and put her beautiful figure on the sky. Cat Taobao Mall Taobao women's winter coat m curve completely showed up, she smiled and said: "I don't know, I know it's too late, good night" to say, she turned on catwalk and turned away.
Wang Yang looked at the screen with a heavy face ~ EbookFREE.me ~ took a deep breath and thumped his mouth: " No, " He quickly clicked on the standby, then got up and ran with a smile, shouting: "I'm coming"
"Hey, hey you cheated me up now, what's going on?" "Sleep" ... "Hey, hello, this is so cruel"
Time goes by day and night, and as we gradually approach the first Golden Globe Awards ceremony, movie tickets are also being sold every day.
Prior to the last week of the Christmas period, the 7th-the month of the month, and the weekend rankings did not change, "The Lord of the Rings" continued to win the championship with 8.48 million, "The Hangover" received 680,000 box office, and "Mr. Hughes", the fourth of "Freedom", received With a good score of o50,000, the flame movie and the Nolan couple breathed a sigh of breath; the first week of the month on the 9th, "The Lord of the Rings" won the championship for three consecutive weeks, sweeping the second to get o60,000, and showing four weeks in North America The total box office reached 800 million.
