Chapter 336 Big Production of Explosive Shells
If you have to choose a director who loves explosion scenes from Hollywood, then Michael Bay will definitely be elected without any doubt.Explosions have been his passion since his first film.Later, he got to know Jed, a local tycoon, as an investor, and he got involved with the U.S. military, so his explosion scene became bigger and bigger.
Originally, Michael Bay just used a small plane to drop an incendiary bomb in "Brave to Kill the Island", but in "Pearl Harbor", Michael Bay dared to command a group of Zero planes to blow up the US Pacific Fleet.Although Michael Bay's movies are always criticized for their pale plots, fans have said that as long as the explosion scene is enough, it is worth the ticket price.Even in "Charlie's Angels 2: Extreme Speed" directed by Michael Bay temporarily, Michael Bay also drilled the three heroines to death, blowing up the dam for a while, blowing up the headquarters for a while, and finally planned to destroy New York City. Broadway got blown up.As a result, fans who originally planned to come in to see the figures of the three heroines exclaimed that the product was not right. As a result, investor Cameron Diaz was not only injured in the filming, but also heartbroken because the box office did not meet expectations.
After tossing a few movies, Jed finally handed over the "Transformers" series to Michael Bay.The film is co-produced by Galaxy Films and Hasbro, with special effects support from Digital Domain Special Effects Studio.Compared with other comic-adapted movies, "Transformers" is more popular in mainland China, the second largest ticket warehouse in the world.After all, "Transformers" cartoons have been aired in mainland China for a long time, coupled with the influence of various humanoid robot cartoons near Japan, so "Transformers" has always regarded mainland China as the most important box office market.
In the first "Transformers" movie, Jade and Michael Bay only placed some Chinese elements in a small amount to make Chinese audiences look more friendly.By the time of the second "Transformers 2: Comeback", Jed and Michael Bay received a large number of advertising placement needs from Chinese manufacturers.However, Jade does not spoil movies like Parallel Time and Space. The Chinese brands selected are all very quality brands, and the implants are not as tough as some dairy products.In particular, Jade specially arranged for a positive Chinese supporting role to come to the Chinese market.Sure enough, the box office of "Transformers 2: Revenge" in China actually surpassed the total box office in North America, which made Michael Bay even determined to go to China to film the third part.
But when Jed was reviewing the script, he still blocked Michael Bay's idea.The Chinese government certainly welcomes the fruits of China's economic construction in foreign blockbusters, but it is absolutely unacceptable for foreign blockbusters to start wars in Chinese cities.So "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" can only continue to wreak havoc in American cities, but fortunately, Jed planted a foreshadowing in the first two films.According to the setting of this series of "Transformers" movies, China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and other nuclear-armed countries and space countries have all set up a unit called "Extraterrestrial Civilization Monitoring Agency", which is used to monitor Foreign civilizations that may cause damage to Earth civilization.
In the first two episodes, the unit in China is basically a character playing Jiangyou, used to curry favor with Chinese audiences.But in the third episode, Jed decides to play the role of this office.Originally, in the movie, the protagonist should have learned from the information obtained from the Russian astronauts that the Decepticon and Autobot rebels had established an outpost to invade the earth on the moon, but this time the key information was provided by the aliens who were born and killed. Under the escaped Chinese intelligence personnel.Therefore, this plot line has become a sub-line, and therefore a large number of Chinese plots have been substituted.
Because a large number of electronic products are required to appear on the screen, Lenovo Computer, the second largest sponsor of the film, is extremely happy.So in the movie, everyone was messing around with Lenovo mobile phones and Lenovo tablets.This made Samsung Sherman Electronics under Jed's name very dissatisfied, and it also attracted private complaints from Jed's friend Jobs.However, Jed and Michael Bay are quite thick-skinned. These days, whoever pays is the uncle.
In addition, in this episode, Michael Bay has fully absorbed the characteristics of major car TV commercials. The appearance of the Autobots in the film is just like a car commercial. This saves the biggest sponsor General Motors a lot of money. The new car commercials can be edited directly from the movie clips.But the biggest beneficiary should be the Pentagon, the invisible sponsor behind the film.Although it is said that the U.S. military provided a large number of weapons for Michael Bay to shoot, and even took shots of elite troops directly participating in the film, in fact Michael Bay also reciprocated and made these shots more soul-stirring like a recruitment advertisement.So Jade understands why the Chinese government is reluctant to open the mainland cities to the "Transformers" movie. Think about it, would you like to see a group of American soldiers showing off their might on the streets of the devil emperor or the imperial capital?
Before the release of "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon", Warner Films also specially brought "Green Lantern", one of their DC superheroes, out to brush up their presence, and it really won the weekend championship.The weekend champion of the second week was taken away by Dreamworks' "Cars". Originally, this should be the work of Pixar Studios, but after all, Pixar Studios has become a studio under the Galaxy Animation Films, so there is Some personnel were finally diverted to Disney Animation or DreamWorks Animation, which also prevented some of the works from the previous life from being attributed to the current Pixar studio.In fact, between "X-Men Prequel: First Class" and "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon", Sherman Film and Television Entertainment Group still vacated nearly two weeks without arranging blockbuster releases.Although Jed intends to use this summer slot to create momentum, he won't be so stupid that other film companies won't even have time to breathe.You know, in any industry, you can't live long if you eat alone.
On June 2011, 6, "Transformers 29: Dark of the Moon" was released globally simultaneously.To the surprise of the Hollywood media, Jade actually brought John to the "Mainland China Premiere" held in Shanghai.And the arrival of Jed and John really surprised the Chinese media. It is not uncommon for Hollywood tycoons to attend the premiere or come to the Chinese platform. ) premiere is very unusual.As a figure loved by both the entertainment media and the financial media, Jed naturally received the highest courtesy from the local media.During his two days in Shanghai, Jed participated in the recording of two TV programs and one radio program, and also accepted interviews from three newspapers.When asked about his views on the Chinese film market, Jed made a very clever Tai Chi, "I very much hope that the box office of "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" in China will exceed the total box office in North America. A very wonderful thing!"
Fortunately, the red carpet in China is not as frenzied as in the United States. After answering a few questions about the scene, you can go to the cinema to watch a movie in peace.This theater is also called the Galaxy Theater, which is one of the flagship theaters built by AMC Wanda Company.Because it was the schedule of "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon", the theater was filled with various models of Transformers.And today's first ticket can also draw a lottery, and the prize is the genuine Transformers model provided by Hasbro.Although the price is not high, it is a great prize in the eyes of Transformers fans.And the model sent out is a limited edition specially made for China, so the collection value is extremely high.There are only five Galaxy Cinemas in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Taipei and Hong Kong that can be drawn in China. One can imagine how many people are waiting in line here for tickets.Fortunately, the five theaters have also decided to show "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" until [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, so the chances of drawing a lottery are relatively high.
All audiences who got the first round of screening tickets are lucky, especially according to the time difference, Chinese audiences actually experienced the style of "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" a day earlier than American audiences.The movie begins with the memories of Optimus Prime, and the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons is still going on on the planet Cybertron, where resources are being exhausted day by day.This endless war made Cybertron's fragile environment even more unsupportable, so people of insight began to choose to escape from the planet Cybertron to continue the life of Transformers.But the last Noah's Ark was shot and fell down, and hit the moon during the slow space travel.And this sudden change caused the two giants on the earth at the time-the Soviet Union and the United States to start a space race, and the Americans were naturally the ultimate victors.In the familiar American moon landing documentary, the story of "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" has just begun.
Like all Hollywood popcorn movies, there are highs and lows. When the protagonist is bullied by the villain, the emotionally aroused audience in the movie theater naturally let out a low roar; and when the Autobots are framed and must leave the earth, they are finally assassinated When it was blown up, exclamation suddenly sounded.When the finale, the Battle of Chicago, began, Michael Bay's ability to control the battle scene was revealed, and the ups and downs of the plot made the movie finally end with a standing ovation from the audience.The reactions and comments of the first batch of viewers on social media have also become the best box office guarantee for "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon", while American audiences are eagerly waiting until the night comes.
And Jed and John rushed back to Los Angeles after attending the Shanghai premiere of "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon". At the exit of the airport, a reporter from a local Los Angeles radio station asked: "Mr. Sherman, Will Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part [-] be your farewell film?"
Jed paused, "If "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part [-]" is indeed a good choice as my farewell work, this movie has completely influenced the growth of a generation from the publication of the novel to the completion of the movie. I I believe that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part [-]" will be a perfect ending, but it is not mine. My last work is still being filmed. If there is no accident, I will share with you next summer Meet, that is my farewell."
After speaking, Jed left surrounded by bodyguards, and this interview immediately detonated the American film and television industry.When Spielberg and Cameron are still young and strong, and Nolan is about to rise, a person who has influenced the American film history industry for nearly 30 years is about to say goodbye?Whether it is a reporter or a movie fan, they find it somewhat unacceptable.
