Please remember the website URL: ;Please recommend the promotion and introduction to your QQ group [Weibo/WeChat] forum post bar! For most of April, the "Captain America" ​​crew was on location in Louisiana. Go, because the production time is extremely tight, weekends and nights will also be used for filming. After half a month, Nicole ended Peggy Carter's role and left the crew to catch up on "The Moment". Ryan followed along The crew continued to move around in an effort to get the shooting done as soon as possible and move to post-production.

Several special effects teams of Industrial Light \u0026 Magic have been active with the crew. They can not only grasp the shooting situation at the first time, but also communicate with David Fincher and Ryan at any time, and start to produce some special effects such as explosions and environments. .

According to the established plan, David Fincher only has half a year of post-production time. For such a film, he is indeed quite nervous. He has also complained a few times, but this situation is the norm in Hollywood.

During the filming process, dozens of reporters followed behind the crew at least during the filming. In addition to the corresponding propaganda of the crew, the news of "Captain America" ​​will appear in the prominent positions of major mainstream media every once in a while, especially It was a TV station. When the crew started filming, they also broadcasted the previous four versions of the "Captain America" ​​film, which played the banner of comparison, which was regarded as a warm-up for the film in advance.

Because of Ryan's existence, this crew has always been the focus of the media's attention. From the day the filming started on the Universal studio, many media sent their exclusive reporters to follow them, and even some tabloids brought him and Nicole again. say something.

But the effect of fried cold rice was far worse. Besides, the reaction of public opinion to this incident was far less intense than he imagined.

First, the 911 at the time diluted this topic; second, how many shocking gossip and scandals have occurred in Hollywood since the day it appeared? Compared to them, it is nothing more than that.

What the media did, as they did with Woody Allen and Song Yi, slammed and returned to calm. Except for the occasional newspaper mention, most mainstream media no longer treat it as news.

Ryan also understands that he is still influenced by the thoughts of his previous life in this matter. This is not the entertainment circle on the other side. This is the most open and chaotic circle in North America. After 9/11, those who supported him are still supporting him. He, and those who oppose him, oppose him.

As for certain tabloids, how much influence will their rhetoric have on mainstream voices?

Moreover. Gossip and gossip is also time-sensitive.

This is Hollywood, and there are more fresh and eye-catching news happening every day. For example, after Sandra Bullock came to the crew to openly visit Ryan Gosling, the siblings immediately became the headlines of many newspaper entertainment pages.

The momentum immediately suppressed Ryan.

A Hollywood first-line actress fell in love with a little-known actor who was 16 years younger than herself, enough for newspapers to hype her for a while.

This is also an indirect publicity for "Captain America", which makes the film even more compelling.

certainly. Ryan is not a naive child, and he knows that scandals and hype can't actually drive much movie box office, and formal publicity methods are still going on step by step.

Leaving Louisiana, the crew went to New York and London. There are very few shots taken here, in fact, most of the scenes for these two cities were shot in the studio.

Filming continued until mid-May. When all this is over, David Fincher finally announced that "Captain America" ​​is officially closed, and the cast and most of the staff can take a vacation. He will return to Los Angeles with his assistants, and after a short break, start more tedious post-production.

These are all followed up by corresponding personnel. Ryan ushered in a short vacation. He first went to the Ninth Studio in London to check the progress of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

The film started as early as last year, because of Ryan's suggestion, when Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was released in North America, the filming of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" had come to an end and is now underway related post-production.

The most troublesome thing is the dubbing of the young actors. Many people entered the voice changing period during the filming, and they had to wait for their vocal cords to stabilize before dubbing again.

This job is not yet on the schedule, and the agents of the young actors are negotiating with Ryan's representatives, and it is impossible for them to get their previous pay after they become famous.

You know, Daniel Radcliffe was paid only $140,000 when he starred in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"...

However, the main actors were all dug up by caa and kk brokerage companies. In addition, Ryan was already prepared, the progress between the two parties was smooth, and it should not take too long to reach an agreement.

According to the plan, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" will be released on Christmas, because the foundation of the first film has been laid, and the cost of this film has plummeted, and the production cost and publicity cost are only 150 million US dollars.

In fact, most people, including Ryan, know that the majority of the income of the "Harry Potter" series comes from peripherals.

Shortly after the Oscars, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was pulled from North America, and the North American box office finally stopped at $376 million.

Afterwards, the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" DVD with additional shooting footage landed in the North American market. In just two weeks, the sales of the CD reached 150 million US dollars, and the video rental also received 22.35 million US dollars, creating a A new record for the North American DVD and video cassette market.

And that's not even counting the ongoing TV licensing negotiations with several networks, including Turner and Fox.

If an agreement is reached, the TV rights fee for the film is likely to set a new high in film history.

The "Harry Potter" series is on the right track. Chris Columbus mentioned to Ryan that he didn't want to continue to be the director of the series. Ryan is asking people to contact British director David Yates, which he finalized. first successor.

Things in the UK came to an end for the time being, and Ryan returned to North America on his newly-placed Boeing plane.

Boeing delivered the refitted and tested private jet in late April. After the visit, Ryan also expressed his satisfaction with the Boeing staff. Bars, cinemas, conference rooms and lounges are all available on the plane. This is enough for him.

Yes, he is used to the rich life now, but not to the point of extravagance and waste.

In fact, since 9/11, it has become more and more inconvenient to take a flight. All powerful people in Hollywood basically bought their own private jets.

In North America, there is often a strange phenomenon. When the economy starts to slump, the entertainment industry will usher in a brief peak period.

In the period after 2002, compared with the same period of previous years, the number of people entering the theaters in the United States has increased considerably. It seems that the spiritual comfort brought by movies can help people escape the troubles in reality.

And a series of big productions are also an important reason for driving the film market.

In the summer of this year, several super big productions will be launched in North American theaters successively, and fierce competition will be launched. The first of which is "Spider-Man".

The film's schedule was selected in May, and Ryan was busy filming "Captain America", and Ryan did not go to the premiere.

Because of industry and interest reasons, "Spider-Man" has been severely criticized by film critics. Imdb's professional rating has always been around 7 points, and even Roger Albert only gave the film a passing rating of two stars. , slammed 'Spider-Man and the Green Devil's fight is not only not scary and exciting, but also funny, the movie has no sense of life'.

However, professional film critics and film review websites can never represent the market, nor the vast majority of movie audiences, and their influence on the movie market is getting smaller and smaller.

This can be seen from the box office of "Spider-Man".

Compared with the very general word of mouth, "Spider-Man" has achieved great commercial success.

The film was released on more than 7,500 screens in more than 3,600 movie theaters in the United States and Canada on May 3, 2002, and earned more than $39.4 million on the first day, averaging $11,900 per movie theater, setting the highest box office on the first day of release. Records, and then "Spider-Man" set a new single-day box office record, with more than $46 million on May 4, surpassing the single-day box office record set by "Titanic" a few years ago.

"Spider-Man" grossed more than $115 million on its first week, or $32,000 per movie theater, and took just three days to surpass $100 million at the North American box office.

And Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst have also swept away the half-red and not-black situation for many years and have become the objects sought after by countless fans.

Although the reputation of this film is not very good in the mouths of those self-proclaimed 'smart' professionals, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, especially young people, this is a rare masterpiece. Peter, who has the identity of an ordinary high school student ? Parker, simply the embodiment of their dream superhero.

Even the upside-down wet kiss of Peter Parker and Mary Jane in the rain was called by many people the "Kiss of the Century" comparable to the "Kiss of Victory".

In the following second week, the film was attacked by critics such as 'boring, boring', but did not experience a huge decline. The market once again abandoned the so-called professionals. The box office of more than 72 million US dollars is enough to guarantee the "Spider". Xia continued to stay at the top of the box office charts.

Although the box office fell again in the third week, the nearly $50 million at the box office brought the film's North American box office to over $230 million.

That's 99 percent of the films, a figure that is out of reach.

From May to the beginning of June, "Spider-Man" dominated the North American film market. Even if the critics who boasted artistic vision broke their throats, a large number of audiences still entered the theater one after another, digging their pockets to watch the movie. They call it an artistically worthless popcorn movie.

Of course, "Spider-Man" will not be the only target to be criticized, nor will it continue to dominate the North American film market, another more gorgeous popcorn "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" even if it is released.
