Chapter 2108 Appeal

 Soon, Cage brought Travolta to the set.

An Ran was sitting in the director's seat, and the two of them didn't bother him.

But other cast and crew members were very surprised when they saw it.

Travolta was an idol in the 1970s. He became famous in the 1970s, exploded in popularity in the 1980s, fell silent in the second half of the 1980s, and re-emerged in the 1990s. He can be called a legend.

The boss has invited Travolta here.

When the scene was finished, the assistant next to him told him that Cage was here with Travolta.

An Ran just came here.

Stretch out your hand and say, "Welcome!"

Travolta is 188 centimeters tall and tall. Although he is already in his fifties, as a star, he is still very well maintained.

He looks like he is in his early forties.

With a smile on his face, his famous evil smile.

Travolta's smile is famous. He always looks like a bad guy smiling, but this smile is very handsome.

An Ran smiled and said: "Mr. Travolta, it's an honor to meet you. I guess you have agreed to my invitation!"

Travolta laughed "haha": "I am also very happy to meet Mr. An Ran, a legend in the entertainment industry. Since I am here, of course I agreed to star!"

An Ran showed a sincere smile, "That's great. With you two here, this movie will definitely be the most exciting."

The three of them walked while talking and came to the rest area, where the staff served coffee and green tea.

Travolta took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. An Ran, I have a question that I need you to answer."

An Ran put down the cup, "What doubts?"

Travolta said: "Shoot-out movies are no longer popular now, and it is even difficult to get good box office results. There are not many special effects, and there are not many big scenes. It is difficult to attract audiences now, and the two of us are old guys!"

Even if you make a movie with a good reputation, I think the box office may not be very satisfactory..."

An Ran nodded, Travolta's analysis was correct.

That's what he was confused about. If you don't make money, why are you filming him? It's so hard and laborious. In the end, if you don't make money, you'll be so tired.

An Ran said: "It is true that the market for gun fight movies is not big right now, but I think with a good story to support it, this movie will not be bad at the box office!"

"And you two probably don't know that you have more Xiazhou movie fans than Xizhou movie fans!"

"Even if Cage is the king of bad movies, he still has a great influence in Xiazhou, and no matter how many bad movies he makes, Xiazhou fans are extremely eager for him to make a good movie to turn things around!"

"And you are the same. What I have heard most in the past few years is that you have made too few movies, and Cage keeps accepting bad movies just to pay off his debts!"

"You have to pay attention. It's a pity that everyone didn't curse like in Xizhou!"

"So, even if the box office is not very good in Xizhou, it will definitely be a hit in Xiazhou!"

The two looked at each other, and Travolta said: "Are we so popular in Xiazhou?"

There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

An Ran said: "Don't doubt it, the Xiazhou audience is very nostalgic!"

Cage was also shocked. He knew that he was quite famous in Xiazhou, but he didn't expect his fans to be so awesome.

He couldn't believe it and said: "I thought the Xiazhou audience preferred new generation stars like Alex or Wan Nida. We are already outdated..."

"No, for foreign stars, Xiazhou audiences prefer those of you who are good at acting! Of course, some people also like young ones, but the fan base is far from as big as yours!"

"There is another reason. You are the first Xizhou movie stars that almost everyone in Xiazhou knows!"

"Cage's "Adventure to Alcatraz" and your "West Point Puzzle" are lingering memories for everyone. Even after so many years, many people still miss them and think they are classics that cannot be copied."<

/p>

"So, even if Xizhou guarantees capital, we can make money in Xiazhou, and you two don't have to worry about the box office!"

After An Ran explained, the two nodded.

Travolta said: "Mr. Enron, your generosity surprises me. Let's do this. To thank you for your trust in me and to thank you for reactivating these old guys, I will receive a salary of 10 million, a 5% dividend, and Kai

Strange!"

An Ran laughed "haha" and said, "I appreciate your kindness. Do you think my movie will most likely lose money in Xizhou?"

"In addition to your remuneration in gunfight movies, the explosion scenes are more expensive!"

"I'll give you 2,500 as your salary, Cage's 10 million, plus other staff members, the salary here is 50 million!"

"For post-production, explosion scenes, and other exterior scenes, another 50 million is enough! After all, it is a gunfight scene. If props are used for the explosion scenes, it will save much money than computer special effects!"

Cage said: "If we use computer special effects, although it will cost more, our scenes can be bigger."

The biggest disadvantage of traditional prop blasting is that the scene is not large enough. You cannot use large-scale blasting to blow up a real building? Or a real factory or something. This is almost impossible to happen.

Firstly, it is troublesome, and secondly, it costs a lot of money.

It’s easy to use computer stunts. You can make this scene as big as you want, and it can even be so big that it explodes the entire Xizhou.

An Ran smiled and said: "For this shooting, I plan to use old techniques, all of which will be live blasting..."

Real-life blasting?

The two were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads slightly, "Oh, Mr. An Ran, you know this is very risky."

Although there won’t be too many explosion scenes in gunfight movies, real-life explosions are definitely the most expensive shooting method.

Recreating a 1:1 scale explosion scene and then exploding it all at once is expensive and risky.

An Ran said: "What I want to make is a real gun fight movie from the 1980s and 1990s, so that everyone can recall the style of gun fight movies back then."

The two of them were stunned.

Indeed, most of today's movies are dominated by scenes, destroying the world at every turn, traveling through the universe, or causing the sky to collapse.

There was nothing wrong with the scene.

But after watching it a lot, I always feel like something is missing.

The sense of reality is actually not strong enough.

This thing seems to be a relatively mysterious thing. You may say that it is unreal, but the computer special effects are actually enough to look real.

And An Ran wants to shoot in the style of the 1990s?

It is indeed a bit exciting, but it feels too risky.

An Ran didn't care about the expressions of the two of them, "You two, if you are willing, I can start filming as soon as possible. As for the current drama, I don't think I need to worry too much!"

Lajie and Gyllenhaal are in very good shape now, and it doesn't matter even if he's not here.

These two people are enough to show the best level.

Travolta and Cage also hope to start filming soon.
