Chapter 1515 Impossible
Are you kidding me?
When Turner received the invitation from Enron, he was also confused.
An Ran made three bad movies in one go, and everyone on the Internet laughed and laughed at them. Although they didn't make as much money as before, they still made a lot of money.
How...
Suddenly thought of making a comedy film?
To be honest, he really doesn't think highly of An Ran when it comes to funny things.
Now he can be regarded as an artist under Enron, and of course he knows something about Enron's past.
Over the years since my debut, none of the films I have made have lost money, and all have made steady profits.
But among the big productions, only "The Iron Man" can be counted.
Others are all small-scale productions with small costs, making a big difference with small things.
And his area of expertise is horror-thriller movies.
From "172 Hours", a confined space thriller, to "127 Hours", which is also a confined space thriller.
Then along the way, I made Xia Zhou’s unique martial arts film.
The atmosphere is also quite weird.
"The Blair Witch Project" groundbreakingly established the genre of handheld movies, and now "The Ghost Story" is making a lot of money.
It can be seen that An Ran's portrayal of small scenes and control of the terrifying atmosphere are quite powerful.
But it’s not a funny movie, right?
You know, among so many directors in Xizhou, not many can really make a good comedy film.
None of the great directors recognized by everyone has ever made a comedy film.
The difficulty of shooting comedy films is more difficult than that of any other type of film.
In other movies, you can basically make it by investing a lot of money, grasping the rhythm, the actors' acting skills are online, and the script is not broken.
Comedy films require too many things.
How to make people laugh is a science, and the plot must be reasonable and not vulgar. This is a good comedy film.
Can Enron do it?
When Turner and Rachel came to the company and received the script from An Ran, they were dumbfounded on the spot.
Brother!
This comedy show of yours is a bit cruel.
I barely considered any rationality, it was just a prank. Is this okay?
If he were a network major, then Turner wouldn't say anything. Anyway, he has no intention of getting a good reputation.
But it would be different if it was released in theaters.
Turner felt it was still necessary to talk to his boss.
"Boss, if this movie is released in theaters... I don't think it will be good."
An Ran smiled and said: "Oh? Such a bad idea?"
"You can tell from the script that this movie is a spoof, irrational, and funny... to use a not-so-nice word, it is quite vulgar. I don't think the audience will buy it."
An Ran nodded, "You are right, but if anything is done to the extreme, it will be successful. I believe this movie is the same."
"If you eat a lot of big fish and meat, then try a plate of red meat with a stronger taste. It will taste better!"
"???"
Is there any other way to describe this?
Turner said: "But boss, don't get me wrong. I'm just expressing my opinion. You still have to make the decision."
An Ran smiled and said: "Turner, don't worry, this movie will become one of your career masterpieces..."
Turner smiled bitterly: "Maybe, but I'm curious. Your movie has ridiculed almost all the movies of major companies. Aren't you afraid of offending so many companies?"
"Afraid?" An Ran said nonchalantly: "I've already offended me, what's there to be afraid of?"
Turner was speechless for a while, that’s what he said.
But...
That's different.
Normally everyone is more restrained and fights openly and secretly underwater, but when your movie came out, it was a blatant mockery and a slap in the face.
Can people be willing?
An Ran said: "Whether they are happy or not, they have nothing to do when this movie comes out. They have already done what they have to do."
Turner was stunned, this is true.
DV distribution is not allowed, so people distribute it directly online.
They don't let actors star in movies, but now they use a few of them to successfully break through.
Not arranging movies for Enron's theater chain? It doesn't matter, they will film it themselves and make their own money. It depends on whether you are envious or not.
Unless Enron is assassinated, it will be useless.
"Okay, boss, I don't care. I'm just a small character. The main thing is you!" Turner said, "As long as you have no problem."
An Ran dumped the script on him, "Read it, I know you have a sense of humor, and Rachel... you are the most suitable candidate for the heroine. I will not indulge you this time, you must show professional standards!"
"Okay, Teacher An Ran, we will definitely do it!"
Neither of them has a professional background, but they have rich filming experience, although they are all small roles.
But just because it is a small role, it is even more difficult to perform well.
If every supporting actor wants to become popular, he will work hard to find the shining points in his small role and play the role well.
In fact, their performances are often more intense than those of big names, but they all play inconspicuous roles and are not easy to be discovered.
It is common for Turner to play corpses and small supporting roles with only a few lines.
To be honest, these have hardly improved his acting skills.
But he has also played a few small roles with some weight, and he put his heart into those roles.
The same goes for Rachel.
The two took the script and when they were about to go out, Turner asked: "Teacher An Ran, when will the filming of this drama start!"
An Ran looked at the time and said, "It's already the end of September. We'll try to start filming in October and then release it on Christmas."
Comedy films should be released during family fun times.
Even if this is a funny film that makes people feel very inappropriate.
"Christmas?" Turner and Rachel looked at each other.
Christmas, like the Spring Festival in Xiazhou, is the most important festival of the year in Xizhou.
At that time, all major companies will produce their most ferocious movies to enter the market during this time period.
Of course, before this happens, everyone will weigh it again and again. If they are not opponents, then postpone it.
If you have confidence, then go to the end and kill you to the death.
If Enron, a spoof movie, were to be scheduled during the Christmas season, it would face at least three major productions worth over 150 million yuan.
In this kind of head-on confrontation, An Ran would probably die miserably.
"The Ghost Story" did very well at the box office, no one can deny this.
But when the movie was released, it took advantage of the gap period and there were no blockbusters to be released, so it won this box office.
Although there is "Dune" in the back, the film itself is obscure and difficult to understand, and the terrifying incident handled by Enron is a plus point.
Let this movie directly exceed the 500 million mark, becoming the highest-grossing movie in August and September.
But the Christmas season is different.
You don’t even have to watch it to know that this movie is definitely at the bottom!
Chapter completed!
