Hollywood Starts with Animation

Wald Pictures.

Boss Zucker, Kevin Feige, vice president of Wald Pictures, director Zach Snyder, and several key directors of the "300" crew gathered for one last meeting before the official casting.

"Zach, you are the film director of this film, let's talk about it first." Zucker said while holding a cup of tea infused with wolfberry.

When people reach middle age, they have no choice but to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup.

Well, although Zucker is only 21 years old, it stands to reason that he has not yet reached the time of "last resort", but in the two months he has been idle, Zucker is very absurd, lingering in the bed, and really can't bear it. No, the health wolfberry is on the tube.

"Now that Mr. Wald has spoken, I shall speak."

Zach Snyder is not a shy person, he immediately said: "Everyone, for the film "Spartan 300", we must first clarify a question. The Spartans we shoot must not be realistic The history is the background and premise, remember, the "300" we shot is just the comic work of comic master Frank Miller."

The voice fell, and everyone present nodded.

There is an essential difference between historical stories and comic stories!

As far as the historical story is concerned, the war between Sparta and the Persians actually does not have a distinction between justice and evil at all. It is a confrontation war between the two forces because of a problem of interest;

However.......

However, in comic master Frank Miller's "300" comics, it follows the basic rules of comics.

There must be a clear distinction between positive and negative characters!

"So, when we filmed this "Spartan 300 Warriors" movie, we must inevitably shape the Persians into the 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 filming. ."

Zach Snyder said solemnly.

On this point, Zucker is very much in favor.

When Zu Ke watched "Spartan 300 Warriors" in his last life, the overall plot was quite exciting, but the producers portrayed the Persians as barbarians from another world, the evil of backward civilization. Moreover, Xerxes, the king of Persia, was also portrayed as a mindless megalomaniac, and he was a king who wore no clothes and only a pair of underpants.

Nima, this is simply insulting the IQ of the audience!

"Dude, think about the images of Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, Han Wudi Liu Che, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors who don't wear military uniforms on the battlefield, but only a pair of underpants..."

"Spicy eyes!"

Looking at the past and present, this is simply impossible to happen.

A monarch of a country who only wears a pair of underpants on the battlefield is shameless? !

At that time, when watching this film, Zucker complained about the setting of the crew more than once.

It stands to reason that Hollywood production companies should not be so brainless. The director of this film, Zach Snyder, shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake even if he was a MV director?

But!

When Zucker traveled through more than two years, he finally understood why the production company and director chose such a mindless setting.

"Old beauty has no culture!"

"The United States and Western countries are engaged in happy education. Under this education system, many social elites have been cultivated, but there are more rough and illiterate people, occupying the main group."

"If you complicate the plot, how can these rascals understand?"

"The characters are clear and the plot is simple and rude, which is the mainstream setting in Hollywood."

"Therefore, according to the setting of the comics, it is very necessary to divide the Spartans and the Persians into two distinct factions.

Otherwise, you can't count on how high the box office can be! "

For a time, Zu Ke kept sighing in his heart.

racism!

That's right, in fact, setting the pros and cons according to the comics will indeed make countries in the Middle East, as well as the Middle Eastern groups in the United States, have great disgust, and even cause conflict.

However, the main audience of the film is, after all, the mainstream movie audiences in the United States and the Western world!

hehe~

Don't look at them clamoring for racial equality and opposition to racial discrimination on weekdays, but in fact, when they choose movies, they are naturally good at it.

if......

You are shooting a movie with a Middle Eastern group as a positive character. Look at these sanctimonious "equal-dimensional" people, will they buy tickets to watch the movie?

These sanctimonious "equality maintainers" understand "racial equality" and "opposition to racial discrimination", which are limited to equality between blacks and whites, and do not include blacks in Africa. As for Asian and Middle Eastern groups, they are definitely not included in them. within the scope of consideration.

In other words, these sanctimonious "equality maintainers" are the biggest racially discriminatory group!

"So, how can you cause controversy if you don't vilify the Persians and the Emperor Xerxes?"

"How can it attract the attention of mainstream audiences without causing controversy?"

"Therefore, after the film is released, it will inevitably cause some people's resistance, but their resistance and controversy will make more people willing to pay for tickets."

Director Zach Snyder talked eloquently, analyzing the pros and cons before and after.

Kevin Feige echoed: "That's right. We are a film company, a business group that needs to make a profit, not a non-profit organization for peacekeeping. Our purpose is just to earn more box office."

Zucker nodded too.

Racial discrimination, what's the matter with Zucker?

Zu Ke was a citizen of the Great Celestial Dynasty in his last life. Even if he passed through in this life, his red heart did not decrease much. When dealing with "racial discrimination", he only cared about the Chinese. As for Koreans, Japanese, Asians, Middle Eastern, Africans, and even black groups in the United States, Zucker doesn't care about the racial discrimination they face!

It has to be said that Zhu Ke has transformed from a small diaosi to a qualified capitalist.

......

At the end of the meeting, Kevin Feige raised a more critical topic.

- Muscle man!

"In order to make "Spartan 300 Warriors" more interesting and more attractive to female audiences, in terms of casting, whether it is the main male protagonists, or the supporting roles, the main thing is to choose those muscles. Male, and also in the case of wearing only bottoms, to highlight the size of certain key parts.”

"At the same time, for the number of muscular male actors, we also need a lot, at least 100 to 300 people."

There are two solutions to this problem.

First, when choosing a role, focus on actors with exploding muscles;

Second, the selected actors will undergo 6 months of muscle and physical training to create muscular men;

"Ha ha!"

At this time, Zuke, the boss, laughed for the first time.

"Guys, don't be so troublesome."

Zucker smiled and said: "You are all busy preparing for movies recently, you may not know that UPN TV network plans to launch a new show in the near future, and move WWE (National Reality Wrestling Entertainment) to UPN's TV platform to broadcast, you must know that they are all A bunch of muscular guys, even muscular monsters with prominent physique!"

Zach: "......"

Kevin Feige: "..."

Including everyone present, they were all stunned.

They never imagined that the problems that they and others were worried about would be so simple. After all, hundreds of muscle monsters with good body and photogenic muscles are needed, and it is not so easy to find.

Of course, several main characters in this film cannot rely on these muscle monsters from WWE, and they also need professional actors with acting skills. Therefore, the muscle training process for the main actors is still inevitable, but it can save a lot of time and money.

WWE players, except for a few ace star players, the price of others is not much higher.

save money?

"I'm so rich now, how can I still inevitably think of this?" Classmate Zhu Hao was secretly annoyed.
