Chapter 886: .Cultural atmosphere

The actor and actress are finalized.
Scott Johnson will play the leading actor Max, with a salary of 15 million dollars.
In fact, this price is really not high, but it is not low.
Scott Johnson, although he did enter the 20 million club, but because of Scott Johnson in the past two years, has been making art movies.
So the commercial value has dropped significantly.
That's how it is in the actor's business.
Unless you can always maintain success, business success, or award success.
Otherwise, their salary will drop.
On the other side, the heroine finally selected Anne Colleen.
Conceptually, Sandra Johnson is more suitable, but "Mad Max Fury Road" is always a commercial film.
Even if the things promoted in it are weird, it is undeniable that a large production with a cost of more than 100 million must be a commercial movie.
Although Ferrosa's role is indeed completely different from previous heroines.
But it does not mean that Ferrosa does not need to be "beautiful"!
Annie Colleen’s long legs will definitely add to the movie.
In addition, from one of the world's top ten female stars, suddenly becoming a one-armed female warrior with stubble and oil on her forehead is a very strong subversion in itself.
But it does not mean that Ferrosa must be masculine in all aspects.
On the contrary, true feminism has never been to remove feminine characteristics and masculinize women, but to retain some of the characteristics of women, and then carry out masculine movements.
Therefore, Anne Colleen is obviously more suitable.
Although Annie Colleen can be said to be an absolute heroine, even more powerful than the actor Max, her salary is still not as good as Scott Johnson.
Only 12 million dollars in pay.
And for Anne Colleen, this pay is already high.
This is the status quo in Hollywood. It is almost impossible for actresses to get paid more than male actors at the same level.
Even if Scott Johnson's pay has been reduced, but Anne Colleen's pay is still not comparable.
Of course, getting the male and female protagonists, although it is said to be the most difficult point in casting, does not mean that Wang Yifan can relax.
In fact, the preparations for "Mad Max Fury Road" have just begun.
For other roles, although the casting director is responsible, in the end, Wang Yifan still needs to decide.
In the movie, there are still many outstanding characters, such as the undead old Joe, the big villain, such as the son of war, etc. These characters are not the most important role in the movie, but they are all equally brilliant.
Of course, even if it’s an apocalyptic movie, even if it’s a very violent drama, it's maddening all the way, and there is no urine in the whole process, but in the same way, such a movie also needs some contrasting colors.
Those women who are immortal old Joe are just this touch of color.
However, this is too easy to solve.
Moreover, all are beautiful women and supermodels.
In this regard, Wang Yifan basically followed the practice of the previous "Mad Max Fury Road".
Everyone cooperates and win-win!
Then Kanjing!
This is also a big project!
Because "Mad Max Fury Road" is the end of the world after the nuclear explosion, and almost all the scenes are completed in the desert of yellow sand.
But the difference is that a simple desert is not enough.
At the beginning, Wang Yifan thought about placing the filming location of "Crazy Max Fury Road" in the desert area of ​​China.
But in the end this idea was dispelled.
Because, as soon as the movie "Mad Max Fury Road", from crew members to actors, almost all of them are Hollywood.
Secondly, the movie "Mad Max Fury Road" could not be released in China, and it was not even declared because there was no possibility of passing it.
The third aspect is cost considerations.
Yes, in China, the cost of labor and venue may be cheaper, but in fact, it is not much lower.
But with regard to the cost of other aspects of filming, if it is shot in China, it will increase many other costs.
The cost of the crew shooting locally and shooting abroad is completely different.
Moreover, the key is that many of the props used in "Crazy Max Fury Road" are all built and produced in North America, and shipped to China, which will increase greatly.
In fact, these are all secondary. The most important thing is that they don't make much sense.
Because the movie cannot be released in China, and "Mad Max Fury Road" is not a movie like "Monkey King", it can drive the tourism economy and so on. This is purely a one-shot deal.
In terms of prospecting, in fact, it has basically done almost the same.
The most suitable place would be Santa Fe, New Mexico in North America, the farthest place known as the extension of the American Dream. It is the capital of New Mexico and the highest state capital in North America.
Sometimes, whether the place is suitable for shooting a movie, the cultural atmosphere is also very important.
Especially special genre films like "Mad Max Fury Road".
And the place of Santa Fe, to be honest, in Wang Yifan's view, purely from the perspective of cultural atmosphere, this place is indeed very suitable for this movie.
Because here, you can see a large number of rock, blues, country singers and vendors selling Mexican meat rolls, and some pedestrians watching the excitement.
Here, it seems that everything is possible, and the world of music is going crazy.
In fact, in North America, why there are so many weird things and many trivial things, it is possible to form a cultural atmosphere.
Mainly because this country is a newly born country, it has no historical and cultural precipitation, so they will continue to ingest new things and form a new culture.
This is completely different from a country like China, which has thousands of years of cultural heritage.
In China, because of the cultural heritage of thousands of years, many new things are born within the framework.
In the end, the same will be integrated and tolerated by the inherent culture.
Become a new raw material for inheriting civilization!
But in places like North America, it's different. They don't have these things, and everything is likely to be new to them.
That's why their cultural diversity is created!
Many things in "Mad Max Fury Road" can actually be seen as a microcosm of North American culture!
The Devil’s Farm is actually not a real farm. It has long been desertified.
The truncated mountains, the famous Pedanar Mountains, cliffs, chimneys made of yellow-brown stone, straw, lavender, cracked ground, withered juniper.
On the ground cracked by the long-term drought, I looked down at the earthy yellow stone arrow pointing to the sky, and the powerful and wild nature was painted on a drawing board.
Without a place, you can hardly imagine that this is the world of the 21st century, and you will find that what is alive here is the scene of the end times.
