Wald pictures.
Zucker, the boss, Kevin Fitch, the vice president of Wald pictures, Zach Schneider, the director, and several leading members of the 300 crew gathered for the last meeting before the official casting.
"Zach, you're the director of the film. Let's talk about it first." Zhu Ke picked up a cup of tea with medlar and said as he drank it.
When people reach middle age, they have to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup.
Well, although Zhuke is only 21 years old, it's not the "last resort" yet, but in the past two months, Zhuke is ridiculous and lingers in bed. He really can't bear it. It's not healthy. The medlar is in the tube.
"Now that Mr. ward has spoken, I'll say it."
Zach Schneider is not a shy person, he said immediately: "ladies and gentlemen, for the film" Spartan 300 warriors ", we have to clarify a problem first. The Spartan warriors we shot must not be based on the real history. Remember, 300 is just a cartoon by Frank Miller
Voice down, the presence of people have nodded.
There are essential differences between historical stories and comic books!
As far as historical stories are concerned, the war between Sparta and Persians does not distinguish between justice and evil at all. It is a war of confrontation between the two forces because of their interests;
However
However, in the cartoon 300 by Frank Miller, it follows the basic law of cartoon.
There must be a clear distinction between positive and negative characters!
"Therefore, when we make this movie, we will inevitably shape the Persians into a villain camp. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the audience to accept it. The plot is simple, rough and clear, which is the main purpose of our shooting."
Zach Schneider sank.
As far as this point is concerned, Zucker is very much in favor of it.
When Zucker watched "300 warriors of Sparta" in his last life, the overall plot was very cool, but the producer created the Persians into barbarians from different worlds, which was the evil of backward civilization. In addition, the king of Persia, Xerxes, was also shaped into a mindless arrogant king who wore no clothes but only a pair of trousers.
Nima, this is insulting the audience's intelligence!
"Man, think about the pictures of emperors like Ying Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, wearing only a pair of trousers instead of military uniform on the battlefield..."
"Hot eyes!"
Throughout the past and present, this is impossible.
A country's monarch, on the battlefield only wears a pair of trousers, but also shameless?!
At that time, when watching the movie, Zuker had more than once make complaints about the setting of the drama group.
In principle, Hollywood studios should not be so brainbroken. Zach Schneider, the director of this film, should not make such a low-level mistake even though he is a MV director?
But!
After more than two years, Zhuke finally understood why the production company and the director chose such a mindless setting.
"Lao Mei has no culture!"
"The United States and Western countries are engaged in happiness education. Under this kind of education system, there are many social elites cultivated, but there are more rough and illiterate people, occupying the main number of groups. "
"If you complicate the plot, how can these rough guys understand it?"
"Clear characters and simple and rough plot are mainstream settings in Hollywood."
"Therefore, it is necessary to divide Spartans and Persians into two distinct groups according to the setting of the cartoon. Otherwise, you can't expect to get much at the box office
For a moment, Zhuke constantly sighed in his heart.
racial discrimination!
That's right. In fact, setting up pros and cons according to comics will really make countries in the Middle East and the middle eastern American community in the United States have a great aversion, or even conflict.
However, the main audience of the film is the mainstream audience in the United States and the western world!
Hehe~
Although they are clamoring for racial equality and against racial discrimination on weekdays, in fact, when they choose movies, it's natural and natural.
If
When you shoot a film with the Middle East Group as a positive role, do you want to see whether these dignified "Wei Ping" people will buy tickets to watch the film?
These dignified "vipers" understand "racial equality" and "anti racial discrimination" only in terms of equality between black and white people, excluding African black people. As for Asian and Middle Eastern groups, they are definitely not in their consideration.
In other words, these respectable "Weiping" people are the biggest group of racial discrimination!
"So, how can the controversy be aroused if we do not vilify the Persians or emperor Xerxes?"
"How to attract the attention of the mainstream audience without causing controversy?"
"Therefore, after the release of the film, it will inevitably lead to some people's resistance, but their resistance and controversy will make more people willing to pay for tickets."
Director Zach Schneider talks about the pros and cons of before and after the analysis of the truth.
Kevin Fitch echoed, "that's right. We are a film company, a business group that needs to make profits, not a public welfare organization like Weiping. Our goal is just to earn more box office. "
Zucker nodded, too.
Racial discrimination. What's the matter with Zucker?
In his last life, Zhuke was a citizen of the great Chinese dynasty. Even if he passed through this life, his red heart did not decrease much, and he only cared about Chinese Americans when dealing with the issue of "racial discrimination". As for Korean, Japanese, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and even black groups in the United States, he doesn't care about the racial discrimination they face!
It has to be said that Zhuke has transformed from a little loser into a qualified capitalist.
.......
At the end of the meeting, Kevin Fitch raised a key topic.
ââMuscle man!
"In order to make" 300 warriors of Sparta "more attractive and more attractive to female audiences, in terms of casting, whether it's the main male protagonists, supporting actors or dragon sets, the most important thing is to choose the muscular men, and also to highlight the size of some key parts in the case of wearing only underwear."
"At the same time, we need a lot of muscle actors, at least 100-300 people."
There are two solutions to this problem.
First, when choosing roles, we should pay attention to the actors with muscle explosion;
Second, the selected actors are trained in muscle and physical fitness for up to six months to create muscle men;
"Ha ha!"
At this time, as the boss of the first time to laugh out.
"Don't bother, guys."
Zhuke said with a smile: "you are all busy preparing movies recently. Maybe you don't know that UPN TV network is going to launch a new program recently, which will move WWE (national real Wrestling Entertainment) to UPN's TV platform. You should know that they are all muscular men, even muscular monsters with outstanding figure!"
Zach: "I don't know."
Kevin fitch
All the people present were in a daze.
It never occurred to them that the problem of worrying about themselves and others would be so simple. After all, we need hundreds of muscle monsters who are in good shape and on camera, which is not so easy to find.
Of course, the main characters of this film can't rely on these muscle monsters produced by WWE, but also need professional actors with acting skills. Therefore, the muscle training process for the main actors is inevitable, but it can save a lot of time and money.
WWE players, in addition to a few ace star players, other people's entry price, is not much higher.
Save money?
"Now that I have so much money, how can I think of it inevitably?" Zhu Ketai was secretly upset.
