[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

Joey has been thinking about one thing these days, and that is the matter of "Suicide Squad".

Admittedly, as Gray said, challenging the goal of the "global billion club" really excites Joey.

You know, if you want to challenge the goal of a billion-dollar club in the world, most people really can't do it. Unless you have a god-level IP, it is really difficult.

So far, Joey has only one BVS that has entered the billion club, and it also relies on the god-level IP of Batman vs. Superman.

Even for Christopher Nolan, who is also known as a genius like Joey, his "Inception" is only 8 million US dollars, and the "Batman Prequel 2" he entered the global billion club is because it is Batman. God-level IP.

The other Billion Club members basically all have god-level IPs, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Harry Potter 4", "Avengers 1", "Iron Man 3" and the like, even if It is one of the few female-oriented movies that can enter the billion club, and it is also a classic IP like "Alice in Wonderland" and later "Beauty and the Beast" that was recreated by Disney.

Therefore, for any movie, unless you are "Titanic" or "Avatar", if you want to challenge the billion club, you must get a god-level IP.

A classic or popular god-level IP, plus a movie of good quality, can basically constitute a member of the "billion club".

Although, so far, there may be less than 30 members of the global billion club.

However, the strength of the IP of "Suicide Squad" is indeed a bit worse than that of BVS and Avengers. The global box office is only 5.9 million.

But "Suicide Squad" should actually be a supernatural work. Its content is about a team composed of a group of heinous super villains in the DC comics universe. Gothic, deeply thought out and styled, it should have been a movie that could shine.

If it fully captures the gloomy, dark, and evil in the comics, it will definitely be a super god, anti-hero, and anti-social cult movie.

If the box office rises, it will definitely have the strength to hit a higher level.

Such a super IP should not be given up in anyone's hands.Besides, how many such super IPs can a director get in his lifetime?

Then, in the previous life, DC and Warner screwed up this movie whose connotation and dark depth are comparable to Nolan's "Batman prequel" trilogy.

The IMDB score is only 6.7 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 26%. It sucks, maybe because former director David Ayer wrote the script in just 6 weeks.Maybe it's because the trailer is ten times better than the main film...

Anyway, no one will say that this movie is good...

However, this movie, which has both word-of-mouth and box office hits at the same time, actually won a global box office of 7.4 million? !The box office on the premiere day directly doubled that of "Guardians of the Galaxy"!The enthusiasm of the audience is rare in ten years!

It's unbelievable, what does this mean? This means that this movie was well shot, and it's a proper board for the Billion Club!

Because this IP is a super IP, if the filming is so bad, it can earn 7.4 million...

This is also the reason why Joey is hesitant. She is very excited about such a super IP, but the film in her previous life was too bad, and she has no confidence that she can save it. : Dawn of Justice is not bad enough, BVS is actually not bad, but its shortcomings are as obvious as its advantages, but "Suicide Squad" is at least N times worse than BVS...

Even though she tried her best to save BVS in this life, she didn't have the confidence to save "Suicide Squad".

Because in her previous life, if after watching BVS, she could tell where the shortcomings of BVS were, then after watching "Suicide Squad", she felt that the film was really hopeless.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't remember what she said at all, she only remembered that a group of people gathered and finally chopped up a witch.Why is this plot shot so silly in the movie?Can't we just follow the plot of the comics honestly?

Joey can no longer complain about the "Suicide Squad" in his previous life. Anyway, it really feels like it was shot with his feet.

Now, Gray puts this choice in front of Joy. On the one hand, she is afraid of the good time, place and people in the previous life of this movie, and on the other hand, she thinks that if this movie succeeds, it will be another peak of her career.

This is really, too difficult to choose!

She decided to find someone to discuss this matter, after all, it is always easy for a person to think about deviations and get into a dead end.

She made an appointment with Tom, and offered to visit him.

Tom was on vacation at home during this period. He didn't expect Joey to come to him on his own initiative. He asked the nanny to decorate the house early in the morning, making him look more like a man with taste.

I also found a pastry master who was responsible for making some pastries and putting them at home.

When Joey drove the car into Tom's villa, he happened to see Tom wearing a brown POLO shirt and black slacks, stepping on flip-flops and watering the flowers with a hose in the garden.

The legs of his trousers were rolled up several times, revealing a pair of relaxed ankles. Under the short sleeves were strong arms, and occasionally a few meridian lines could be seen.

The sunshine seems to complement each other perfectly on his body. This is a man who is too suitable for sunshine and smile.

Joey walked over and patted him on the back. Tom bent his mouth, but didn't look back, as if he had already recognized the other party from the smell, "I don't think you will come to my place in your free time, So, this time, you want something from me again?"

Joey glanced at him resentfully, "It seems that you guessed it, this time I'm troubled again."

Tom screwed on the water pipe, and put on the baseball cap thrown on the bushes, trying to block the rays of the scorching sun, "Let me guess, it must be related to "Suicide Squad"?"

Joey's eyes widened, "How do you know?"

Tom took Joey to the room, and he walked in front, bypassing several watering pipes under his feet. He is a man who loves plants, as can be seen from the airtight vegetation planted around his house, although It's also to prevent the paparazzi from peeping, but it's also partly because he likes to maintain these vegetation.

Men who are willing to calm down and take care of the vegetation should be gentle and peaceful in their hearts. They will not have big ups and downs, as if they have long been used to seeing many things and have calmed down.

Tom is indeed very busy, and his schedule is scheduled for the next year, but he still finds time to take care of his plants.

He walked into the room and poured Joey a glass of cold lemonade, "You may not know that Gray, the president of Warner, also came to see me. Everyone in Hollywood knows that he was threatened by the CEO to be in his hands again." If you smash a film, you will be cut."

Joey took the water glass, took a sip and moistened his lips, "So, he put his bet on "Suicide Squad", he is crazy for me..."

Tom raised his eyebrows and looked at her with deep eyes, "And you, are you still hesitating?"

Joey also looked into his eyes, "I know, this is a film that many directors are eager to take over, but... I know some secrets that others don't know..."

Tom looked at her pretending to be serious, "Tell me, Mrs. Witch, what do you foresee?"

Joey glared at him, "I'm not kidding, this IP may not be suitable for turning into a movie, it may be smashed, I can't guarantee that I can save it."

Tom's tone seemed to be relieved, "In this world, there is nothing that is not suitable for adaptation into a movie, only the way of adaptation is not suitable."

Joey scratched the long hair at the back of his head, "The reasoning is correct, but I'm afraid it's really not suitable for adaptation, and then I messed up everything, and I'm going to take the blame..."

Tom leaned back on the sofa, with a meaningful smile on his handsome face, "Are you so unconfident in yourself? Listen, I think that no matter what you really foresaw or dreamed, you You shouldn't be imprisoned by these things, you're Joey Grant."

Joy seemed to be lost in thought for a while, and for a moment, she suddenly thought that what Tom said made sense.

She can't be imprisoned by the memory of her previous life. She came here to reverse and counterattack.There is no IP that is not suitable for adaptation into a movie, only an unsuitable movie.

Maybe, she might be able to help Suicide Squad find the right path.

She walked over suddenly and flicked Tom's shoulder with her hand, "You seem to be a little wrong, but you seem to be right."

Tom put one hand on the sofa and looked at her with a nonchalant smile, "So, you've decided?"

"That's right, I've decided. I'm probably destined to never get rid of the label of 'helping DC counterattack' in my life."

***

Before deciding to shoot "Suicide Squad", Joey trapped himself in the room and thought for a long time, just to think about the movie "Suicide Squad". What is the problem?

She summed up the most problematic points of the movie, and then she went to Warner and asked Warner executives for the completed script of "Suicide Squad".

This script was written by the original director David Ayer. In his previous life, he was also the director of the film, but now Joey has taken over the filming, but Warner still intends to use David Ayer's version of the script.

Joey intends to use this version of the script to reconfirm whether it is the extraordinary and natural script written by David Ayer in his previous life.

If it is true, then before she signs the contract with Warner, she must get a promise, that is, she can change the script to what she wants, instead of shooting it like this.

But after Joey finally read the script of "Suicide Squad", she couldn't help sighing: It's really the extraordinary and natural script of the previous life.

It is said that David Ayer wrote the script in only 6 weeks.Before this, the director and screenwriter had never directed a large-budget commercial film, so he wrote the script of this film so simple and rude that the name of "Suicide Squad" was hidden, you would even think it was a film on the Hollywood assembly line. That kind of vulgar commercial film.

Joey read his script word by word, and she was sure that the first thing to do was to finalize the script with Warner.

David Ayer is absolutely unusable. This script must be changed so drastically that Mom doesn't even know it, so that it may be a good script.

And the screenwriter must not be this David Ayer.He really doesn't have the ability.

In the previous life, "Suicide Squad", both the plot and the picture were full of the vulgar tone of the assembly line. No matter how much director David Ayer defended himself, it was useless, even if he had made the excellent "Suicide Squad" before. furious".

Joey took the script, came to Warner again, and came to Gray's office.

Gray was delighted to see Joey coming, "Welcome, Joey, it seems that you have read the script and are planning to sign a contract with us?"

Joey didn't know what expression to use to face Gray. It seems that Warner still thinks that the script of "Suicide Squad" is very good at this moment?

She posed the first question without giving Gray any face, "How did you choose David Ayer and then write such a bad and featureless script?"

Gray was obviously choked by Joey's words, and Joey immediately continued to bombard him, "You are still trying to challenge Marvel based on this script, so enough is enough."

Gray frowned awkwardly, "So you don't think this script is good?"

"It's outrageous!" Joey finally shouted, "I'm going to fire David Ayer."

Gray tried to say in a comforting tone: "Joy, calm down first. If David Ayer is fired, who do you plan to ask to change the script?"

Joey tapped his fingers on the table, "I have someone to choose, and I will show it to you for review when the script is finished. The premise is that you have to give me this degree of freedom, and David Ayer must be fired!" Joey then muttered in a low voice, "I can't believe this was written by the director who made "Fury"..."

In the previous life, "Suicide Squad" not only had a bad script, but the editing and rhythm were also bad. This is the script that cannot be blamed, and it is the director Aye's fault.Although the screenwriter is also his fault.

There is another reason, probably because the release version of Zack Snyder's version of "bvs" received rave reviews and was said to be not fun. The CEO of Warner immediately decided to recut "Suicide Squad" into a more fun version.

But because of time constraints, I had to use the material I had already filmed to cut a version with a different style from the original one. I found a bunch of new editors to re-cut it, which made the original editor leave angrily. Compared with the version one, Warner prefers the version that the high-level executives find someone to cut.

So after this version won, they rushed to re-shoot part of the scene next month. Director David Ayer was basically under heavy pressure throughout the process, and the high-level interference was too serious, and finally came up with a four-dimensional movie.

Therefore, what Joey requires is a high degree of freedom, and Warner cannot interfere too much. Warner interferes too much with the director's artistic achievements, and the result is that the film is torn apart.

Gray also promised to give Joey maximum freedom.

But she was about to fire the screenwriter...Gray felt that it was a little difficult to do, but he thought that David Ayer had no conflict of interest with him. If Joey thought that his style did not match David Ayer, he would be fired. Alright.But even if fired, another screenwriter assigned by Warner should be replaced. How could it be Joey who found it himself?

Gray was obviously in a dilemma.

Joy saw his embarrassment, and she almost warned: "Gray, if I don't have this degree of freedom, I won't take over the filming of "Suicide Squad."

Gray was silent for a moment. Out of his trust in Joey, after all, she made a super-English movie with the height of BVS, he agreed.

Then, Joey spoke again, "The second thing, I need to confirm with you, can you give me a clear answer on behalf of Warner executives, whether your target rating is R18 or PG13."

R18 is an R-rated movie in the traditional sense. Viewers under the age of 17 need to be accompanied by their parents to watch, which means that the box office will be far worse.

PG13 thinks that the age limit can be relaxed to 13 years old, and the box office will be much better.

Commercial film companies generally do not know how to make R18 things for the sake of profit, unless the real film can only be made into R18.

In the previous life, the rating of "Suicide Squad" was also one of its major flaws.

It can be summed up as follows: you agreed to get R18 together, but you secretly PG13.

"Suicide Squad" ah!The story follows a group of super-criminals, members of the criminal class who face hundreds of years in prison, who work for the U.S. government to mitigate their own crimes.

It can be seen from this that this is a group play, and the protagonists are a group of heinous villains!All of them are indomitable super criminals and criminals!A villain who has no sense of morality and justice!

Then they got together to create a cult blockbuster of anti-social, anti-hero soft sex, love, violence and force!

Do you believe that this kind of story is not R18?

Warner acquiesced to the opinions of fans and audiences. When everyone agreed that "Suicide Squad" is a cult blockbuster that is pornographic, violent, pornographic, anti-social, and anti-hero... Finally, the movie was released with a PG13 rating, hit How many hearts of movie fans have been broken!

The PG13 rating means that the movie must sacrifice a lot of evil and dark anti-social things in order to cater to the rating. This is "Suicide Squad"!Can movie fans agree if it is not made into R18?

However, Joy intends to shoot Suicide Squad as r18, which is a painful decision. She mentioned before that she thinks this is a super ip, and if it is well shot, it is a member of the billion club.

But if it is changed to r18, it is not necessarily, it is basically very difficult.

So far, the highest-grossing R-rated movie is "The Matrix 2003" in 2.That year, the integrity and IQ of the transgender sisters were still online, which made "The Matrix 2" rake in 7.4 million. (What, you mean "Jupiter Ascending"? Sorry, I can't hear you)

Counting inflation, it is estimated to be one billion now.

In the previous life, many years later, "Deadpool" broke this record with a box office cost of 5000 million at a cost of 7.5 million, but it was still close to Matrix 2 after accounting for inflation.

But it was "Deadpool" who received 5000 million at a cost of 7.5 million and slapped countless people in the face, which gave Joey confidence. Who said that R-rated superhero movies can't have box office miracles?

But if it's the billion club, it's still a bit off.

But for the artistry and reputation of the Suicide Squad, Joey can only choose this way.

Gray was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you mean?"

Joey told Gray his point of view, "If Warner executives are still obsessed with shooting a PG13 movie, then I'm sorry and can't take it."

Gray looked at her hesitantly, "Reason? I will pass it on to other high-level officials and discuss it again. Tell me your reason."

"Because a movie like "Suicide Squad" must be R18. First of all, you need to know what the fans want to see. What they want to see is an anti-social, pornographic, pornographic, violent, and powerful blockbuster, not the Marvel movie. A commercial super-British film for family fun. If you make it PG13, maybe the box office will be more psychologically comforting, but the word-of-mouth will definitely be ruined. When the audience rebounds, the word-of-mouth will decline, which will have a greater impact on the box office.” Joey Slowly put out his reasons one by one, "I hope Warner can rethink this issue."

The reason she gave is very convincing, at least Gray did not refute her, Gray said: "Actually, within our senior management, we have been arguing about R18 and PG13 until now. It seems that you are in the R18 camp?"

Joey nodded, "That's right, if you plan to have a meeting next time to discuss R18 and PG13, remember to bring me, I will vote for R18. In order to collect money to make PG13, it may lose the reputation of the future series, which is not worth the candle .”

Gray was wandering around with a pen in his hand, "And what else do you have?"

Joey casually flipped through the script in his hand, "Also, can you give me a certain style, is it as dark and profound as Christopher Nolan's "Batman Prequel" trilogy, or is it fun and black humor? If it is the former , if you make up your mind to go this way, I suggest that you still invite Christopher Nolan, I am really not good at it."

Black humor, brisk fun, she is good at it, the "Secret Gambler" series is this line.

Gray replied: "I can give you a clear answer to this. We never said that the Suicide Squad will be dark and heavy. We will take a funny and relaxed route. But philosophical speculation is indispensable, just like you in BVS It’s the same kind of philosophical thinking that comes up, man vs. god. I wish Suicide Squad had that philosophical thinking.”

Joey couldn't help laughing for a while, "So with the script in hand now, what kind of nonsense philosophical speculation do you think can be made?"

Gray's face was sullen, "That's why we invited you."

Joy sneered, "I'm not a god. Without a good script, I can't do anything." Then she straightened her expression and retorted: "Don't be naive, Gray, you want to think philosophically, and you want to Easy and FUN, God can't do it. You are too greedy, you can only choose one."

The "Suicide Squad" in the previous life was like, I wanted to shoot black humor, and I wanted to engage in some philosophical speculation, and then... nondescript.

You can only choose one of the two, or it is the relaxed humor of Marvel's family fun, without philosophical speculation.Or it is the dark and heavy core of BVS and the "Batman Prequel" trilogy.

The problem with Suicide Squad's style is that it's rather confusing. It's funny, but it's not very funny; it's dark, and the tone of the picture is deep enough, but the content is not.

If you really want to shoot the genre of speculative philosophy, you can only shoot in the deep style of "Watchmen", but this is not in line with Warner's line of FUN.

Gray thought carefully about Joey's words, "Then what do you mean?"

"Give up the darkness and depth of your fantasy, I know Warner and you are still exploring ways, "Suicide Squad" is not suitable for your way."

Gray was silent for a moment, and said: "Forget it, I will bring this issue to the meeting to discuss, is there anything else?"

"Yes." Joey said lightly.

"Why don't you say it?" Gray looked at her seriously.

"I'm afraid you'll pass out if I tell you." Joey looked at him sideways.

Gray felt his hands tremble, "What are you going to say?"

Joey blinked, "Replace Will Smith."

"..."

Lying in a big trough.

He is Warner's biggest trump card!

Joey sighed, "Actually, it's okay to use him, but there are some problems."
