Chapter 355

The director Rob and the producer Neil of the fast-acting crew have recently harassed Verus frequently. Verus, who is striving for perfection, on the one hand, in order to avoid the premiere of Lord of the Rings 1 and Harry Potter last year, on the other hand, the special effects of the fast-acting post-production The effect of production could not satisfy Verus.

Therefore, the release schedule of Fast Exciting has been delayed again and again. Verus looks at the current special effects from the perspective of 20 years later. Naturally, every frame is [-] cents special effects. Several famous special effects companies in Hollywood are about to be replaced by Verus. Adams is crazy.

Especially for Vita Studio, which became famous in World War I last year, the special effects of Lord of the Rings 1 have already wowed all the most critical Hollywood film critics and critics, but such a delicate and crazy performance still cannot satisfy Verus.

In the end, Verus simply bought several special effects companies that satisfied him, including several comic companies with future super IPs. Now no one thinks how important they are. Only Verus knows that this industry and these big IPs, The future is a big business worth billions and tens of billions of dollars.

Everyone can't stand Verus' attitude of calculating frame by frame. Isn't it just a top-notch director and nine-rate actors, plus a bad street police and gangster racing theme, at least hundreds of bad movies like Hollywood have to be shot every year, so tossing It's just crazy.

However, Verus is the big boss, and he wants to make him pay. Others have no other choice but to use the money to do things. So Verus directs the film to be edited slowly, and it will be screened for two hours in total, but The production of special effects and film retouching took one shot after another, and it dragged on until the spring of 2002, and the release was nowhere in sight.

Verus smiled at the producer Neil: "Don't worry, it will definitely be released this summer. I'm not a violent blood who skipped tickets. I won't just jump for three to five years. It's almost the same."

The director Rob has a vicissitudes of life. If a small director like him is not well-known, no one will ask him to make a film. This is the case in the entertainment industry. If it does not open for three years, once it does, it may last for three or 30 years. .

Rob sneered and said: "Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine, old man, we came here just to ask, you said before, that blah, the sequel of Fast and Furious, isn't that, um, can start filming...?"

Verus patted Rob on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The filming will start after the release in the summer. It's not called a sequel, it's called Fast 2, and there will be 3, 4, 5, and 6 after that. Those actors, remember to sign the contracts. At that time, no one can find a temporary bid."

Neil quickly jumped out to show his loyalty. He is now the queen producer of Pandora and Verus, and he is directly under Verus. He signed a lifetime contract with Pandora Film and Television. Ruth messed up.

Neil laughed loudly and said: "No problem, boss, don't worry, those little brats have long been impatient, you said let them go to the Nürburgring to practice driving, their current driving skills are very good, contract me It has been settled long ago, whoever dares to prick him, I will make him unable to make movies in his life."

Verus nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Well, it is necessary to practice driving skills. It is not good to use doubles all the time, but you have to follow them and don't let them go racing outside. After all, the better the driving skills, the more dangerous you are. Take care, if something goes wrong, I'm the only one to ask."

Neil nodded quickly, patted his chest and said, "Very well, boss, you are all right, I follow them 24 hours a day, you paid them to hire a driver and send a luxury car, who would dare to pass by?" Touch the steering wheel with my permission, and I'll cut them to death."

Neil then asked worriedly: "Um, uh, boss, the Chinese market is raging with war this summer. There are their domestic blockbusters and several super blockbusters from Hollywood. Are we really going to release them globally simultaneously and compete head-on?" ?”

Verus said indifferently: "Don't worry, the summer market is not about how many movies you release, but about the quality. In 1997, there were not as many screens as there are today. Didn't Titanic sell for 21 billion US dollars, so you don't have to worry."

Neil and Rob looked constipated, they didn't dare to continue talking, Titanic is the ticket king, how many people bought tickets to watch it repeatedly, how can this be compared, could it be that their Quick Action can sell for billions No, it was already the hope of the two of them in their hearts to recover the cost and make the next film.

For directors, producers and actors, big sales are of course great, but in fact, most of the time, most films can’t recover their cost, and there are many bad films that can’t even be scheduled and are not broadcast , sent to the warehouse.

Of course, it is good for everyone if they are famous. From directors to actors, they can join the upper circle of Hollywood in a sudden transformation. There are too many Hollywood stars who become famous overnight. Everyone hopes that they will be the next ugly duckling. Become a beautiful white swan or billion dollar club director and superstar.

Verus doesn't care about this matter. There will be more blockbuster movies in the future. He just invests in a few of them. It's really easy to make money. Movies are more profitable than arms and drugs. For him, the time traveler, making money is nothing It's just a brain thing.

The much-anticipated 2001-2002 season, the final of the NBA Western Conference playoffs, the two sides are the Los Angeles Lakers with a super popular OK combination, and the other side is not the regular season champion Sacramento Kings, but a dark horse with full appearance, the Golden State Warriors Team.

The Warriors have been soaring all the way in the playoffs this season. First, it was beyond everyone's expectations and eliminated the Dallas Mavericks with super offensive power. This can be said to be an unexpected accident.

But after the Golden State Warriors eliminated the invincible Sacramento Kings in the second round, continuous accidents happened, which can hardly be called accidents, and the second round of the nba playoffs was a seven-match four-win system, an upset The probability is simply too low.

There are still many NBA analysts and sports reporters fighting for the Kings. On the one hand, the Kings’ combat and non-combat attrition is too great. Their most important sharpshooter Peja and the Kings’ core player Webber have happened continuously. The opportunity for the state warriors to counterattack.

Almost one-sided bricks, once again pessimistic about the Golden State Warriors' road to the NBA Western Conference Finals, they believe that this dark horse cannot pass the Los Angeles Lakers. champion.

Shaquille O'Neal, the peak shark, may have some reservations in the regular season, but the Shaquille O'Neal will not keep his hand in the playoffs. He is seeking to re-sign a super contract with the Lakers in the past two years. Everyone knows that the superstar Often at this time, the combat power and desire to fight are the strongest, whoever blocks his reason for making money is his unshakable mortal enemy.
