Chapter 361 Do you treat me as air
"The Redemption Storm" may not be very famous, but his previous star Mel Gibson is impressive enough, and "The Stone Break", another film called "Breaking the Island of Life", should not be known by domestic movie fans, which is one of Nicholas Cage's masterpieces.
These two films can be said to be Chen Jin's favorite action movies. At least the American media think that Chen Jin likes to write such a script. They believe that Chen Jin's attainment or hard work in art films is not enough, and the script he wrote before does not have too deep humanistic care.
"The Brite Storm" is an adaptation of the 56-year-old American film of the same name. The plot is excellent enough. It is no longer simply a thrilling chase scene and simple reasoning. It focuses more on the psychological excavation between the kidnappers and the victim. One of them is the scene where the kidnapper leader killed his own people. Later At the beginning of the Hong Kong film Dark Warfare 1, that form is borrowed, which is very imaginative and has enough factual basis to portray the psychology of the characters perfectly.
Because it can be regarded as a remake, most media don't comment on "The Wransom Storm" too much, and it is quite certain. However, the film "The Stone Break" is different.
Brother plays the original role of Nicholas Cage, and Zeng Jiang plays the role of Sean Connelly. It is no wonder that Zeng Jiang especially thanks Chen Jin. He is old and popular now, but his acting skills are really great.
Hollywood requires big scenes. There is not much attention to the seriousness and scrutiny of the plot. By the way, popcorn-like movies, that is, the so-called commercial movies, are the mainstream. For truly pure art movies, several people pay back to invest, and commercial movies are often more than 100 million US dollars. And pure art movies cost two or three million dollars to feel painful.
The plot of "Stone Breaks" is not rigorous enough, but what he sells is not rigorous, but wonderful, and it is a big scene.
A violent intoxicated, far-fetched and morally corrupt farce - "San Francisco Chronicle". After the newspaper praised Chen Jin once last time, this time it rudely mocked "The Stone Break".
It's very far-fetched, but it's undeniably exciting - the New York Times' overseas glory, which is perhaps the most pertinent evaluation and also shows the essence of the film. He is a popcorn movie.
Although the general premise of this film is absurd, this film shows everything exciting about action movies in this era. Exciting gunfights, action fights, shocking explosions and chase scenes. At the same time, it has to be mentioned that the two actors, Leslie and Kenneth, have officially entered the industry of Hollywood's top movie stars - The Hollywood Chronicle
Since its release, "The Stone Break" has a mixed reputation, which is far less than the praise of "The Ransom Storm". However, you must admit that there will always be more people watching the bustle than a flash.
It's good to have a mixed reputation, but there are many people who report it. They are curious, or they have seen how wonderful it is. The audience is just looking for fun. Is it unreasonable for him to go to the truth with you?
So, something strange happened. In the first week, the North American box office of "The Stone Break" was as high as 28 million. For the first time, it occupied the champion of the North American box office list, trampling on powerful films such as "Speed of Life and Death" under its feet, and its global box office was as high as 6,000. Five million.
As for "The Redemption Storm", perhaps you can say that it is just a classic remake, which may make some audiences lose their enthusiasm. However, many classic remakes have a good effect. Unfortunately, "The Redemption Storm" is obviously not. His North American box office is only 16 million US dollars, and the global box office is only 3,000. Five million.
Of course, no matter what, 21st Century Fox has laughed. Even the worst "Bransom Storm", it is obvious that the final box office may reach almost 200 million US dollars, which is already the top ten films of the year in the company.
The two films succeeded one after another. After the publicity, Brother Fa and his brother entered the working state again. This time, they did not leave in the United States. When Chen Jin was busy with the later stage of "Golden Eye", he also officially began to prepare for the two films, "Mr. Sweetheart" and "New York Robbery", or the last one to supervise. It is carried out, because the employees of the North American branch of Jinchen Film Company, led by Zhang Xiao, were working in the early stage in June.
The New York Robbery reached a cooperation agreement with Columbia Pictures in June. The proportion of investment is still s of s. . Of course, the distribution rights have to be handed over, and it is an old rule, half of which is not as preferential treatment as 21st Century Fox.
Of course, that time it was the 21st Century Fox who wanted to grab money, and now it proves that they were right. However, that rule is difficult to break. Just like future cooperation, Fox still has to charge 50% of the distribution fee, unless Chen Jin and Jinchen Film Company are strong enough before he has real bargaining. .
As for "Mr. Sweetheart", it is completely independently produced by the North American branch of Jinchen Film Company. The film itself is not very difficult. There are no special effects and stunts, and there are no thrilling scenes. It is a very simple film. Chen Jin must let his own company monopolize, which is also the first in the North American branch. The second battle.
Flying from Los Angeles to New York, in addition to the final preparations, she naturally has to meet a beautiful woman, who is also the first heroine in Mr. Sweetheart, Jennifer Aniston, who is now in New York.
Jennifer Aniston's home is in New York, but she doesn't live with her family. Because of her work, she has now moved out and rented an apartment outside, which is still shared with the tall girl Vivian.
In fact, don't underestimate Vivian. She is not beautiful in Chen Jin's eyes, but she is still a little famous model. Her face is very popular in the modeling industry. Photographers and makeup artists also think it is more malleable. As for why, Chen Jin really doesn't understand.
Both films were shot in New York. Zhang Xiao and Yang Junchao basically stayed in New York with people. Later, He Wei also rushed there. Chen Jin will direct "Mr. Sweetheart". Naturally, he is the first assistant director. As for the director of "New York Robbery", the director is Bill Collins recommended by Columbia Pictures. According to He is said to be a very powerful guy. He is especially good at big scene movements, racing, etc.
By the way, Michael Bay is still a MV director and has no fame at all. Could it be that Bill Collins is his incarnation?
Chen Jin knows a lot about Jennifer Aniston's recent situation. A while ago, she took over a small-cost so-called literary film, and only played a supporting actress. How to put it, the situation is not very good.
He hasn't seen her for a long time. Since he saw her in March last time, he hasn't asked Zhang Xiao and others to give her a surprise when he wants to meet her about her as the first heroine of "Mr. Sweetheart".
From Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, Zhang Xiao and others drove a shabby Ford out of the preparatory office. In fact, Jennifer Aniston also lives here, only three blocks away from here, which is very close.
People living in Lower East City are generally worthless people. Manhattan's Upper East City is full of rich people, and it is also the most commercially developed area. The famous Fifth Avenue is there. Zhang Xiao and others are rich. The preparatory office is arranged in Lower East City because most of the shooting is here. As for Jennifer Aniston's two Of course, it's cheap.
The very old red-walled house is also the most common building in Xiadongcheng. It has five floors and no elevators. I have called my mobile phone. The beautiful woman is at home, but the voice is relatively cold and unreasonable. I don't know what's going on.
Although it was past five o'clock, the sun was still hot. At this time, the weather in New York was not cool at all. Chen Jin was invulnerable to the cold and summer. Seeing that there were no people around, he parked the car in the parking lane in the far corner, wearing sunglasses, and went upstairs.
In Room 309 on the third floor of Jennifer Aniston, in the middle of the corridor on the corner, Chen Jin held the script in his hand and knocked on the door. Soon there were footsteps and he was in a hurry. Then Chen Jin felt someone looking out in the door mirror and immediately burst into the most charming smile.
There was a slight hum inside, and the door opened. Jennifer Aniston was wearing a very simple home clothes, a loose sports T-shirt, and a pair of tight shorts. However, in Chen Jin's opinion, the reason why the shorts were tight was that Jennifer Aniston had a pair of beautiful buttocks.
At a glance at him, the beauty ignored him and walked in, as if she didn't welcome him. Chen Jin grabbed her hand and pulled her into her arms. She knew that the beautiful woman was angry, and she also guessed why she was angry. She didn't say anything. Although Vivian waved in the living room, it seemed that she was going to say hello to him and bowed her head. The beautiful woman's lips are affectionate and lingering.
This is probably the most effective way. Unless that woman really hates you, otherwise, the so-called bedside everyone at the end of the bed is not false. Jennifer Aniston hardly struggled much and fell softly in Chen Jin's arms and kissed him eagerly.
"Hey, do you treat me as air," Vivian blew a loud whistle in her mouth. Seeing that if she didn't stop it, the two people might be a little embarrassed. By the way, it was too much.
Chen Jin stretched out his hand reluctantly from Jennifer Aniston's shorts, and his mouth left the beauty's lips, but he bit it gently again affectionately, with the strongest affection.
Jennifer Aniston is still leaning in Chen Jin's arms, delicately red, with spring in her eyes, and one hand rubbing behind his back. Her daughter's character finally came out a little, but it was obvious. "Why haven't you come to me for so long, even an electric There are no words."
