Three Hundred and Sixty-Seven - This Is an A-Level Commercial Film

This unfamiliar green code appeared, and Zack Snyder looked at Wayne next to him with a strange expression.

Computers are not a new gadget. The moment the green code appeared, everyone in the conference room almost immediately thought of computers. However, no one could guess the correct answer as to what these codes were composed of.

Only the real participants know that behind these dazzling green things that keep floating by are actually Wayne's favorite Chinese recipes, but they just look fancy.

In the picture, a group of police officers appeared, walking through the dark and dilapidated building. They were obviously looking for someone. When the crowd stopped outside a room door, one of them kicked the door open, and what appeared in the room was a woman in a tight black leather jacket.

When the policeman took out the handcuffs and walked towards the woman who was holding her head in her hands, the footage captured by the camera shocked everyone at the scene. Charlize Theron had a tall and hot model-like figure, and her long legs under the tight black leather jacket were particularly prominent and straight. Above the round hips is a slim waist that can be grasped, and all the advantages of the South African beauty's figure were magnified on the big screen by the projector.

In the next fighting scene, Zack Snyder looked like he was filming an advertising blockbuster, with 360-degree views and no blind spots, showing off the heroine's sexy figure under the tight leather jacket.

"Wow even."

Bruce Rosenblum, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but exclaimed. The woman on the big screen has brought her role as a commercial vase to the extreme. This kind of face and figure combined with a tailor-made tight leather jacket is very attractive to men. The destructive power of the audience is too huge.

At this moment, he heard the sound of more than one person swallowing behind him.

"I have an impression of this actress." Finding that his movement attracted Wayne's attention, he shrugged to hide his embarrassment and said: "I remember that she took part in other projects of the company with your favor, and starred in a It’s a small role. I really didn’t expect it to be so amazing in this film, maybe it should be called sexy and cool!”

"She's going to be a big star."

Wayne nodded, understanding the other person's feelings after watching the film. Even when he saw this look for the first time, he was still in the trailer of the crew and couldn't help but interact with the South African diamond for an entire afternoon.

Being a vase heroine in commercial films has never been an easy job. Not to mention the hardships of the action training before the official shooting. In the movie, Charlize Theron was in an uncomfortable state for almost every second while wearing a tight leather jacket and high heels.

Putting on a seemingly sexy and hot leather jacket is not something that can be done by one person at all. An assistant is needed before each shooting. It is equivalent to wrapping a person in a tight-fitting leather bag that is airtight. It makes no difference. Comfort is the weird thing.

Coupled with the high heels on her feet, every action scene shooting is a kind of torture for the South African diamond from the beginning to the end. This is the price that actresses must pay if they want to become famous.

The movie continues to play. With its unique background, strong cyberpunk style, superficial philosophical speculation, and mysterious dialogue, it is basically a science fiction with obvious commercial attributes. piece.

Everyone here can see this. They don't need to consider the discussion of human nature in the film, nor do they need to care about the high artistic content. From the beginning to the end of the film, the feeling is very obvious, that is, it is simple. It's straightforward and cool.

The selling point is clear and direct, which is always a plus point in the eyes of these people. Don’t look at it. The film seems to be full of magic attributes from beginning to end. It is both philosophical and apocalyptic. However, none of it is discussed in depth. It is all for business. Selling point service.

"It can be said to be an A- or A-level science fiction commercial masterpiece!"

It could be seen that the movie was about to end. Two movie watching experts from the AMC chain theater chain were sitting in the back row. One of them, a middle-aged man, closed the notebook in his hand and exchanged opinions in a low voice with the young colleagues around him.

"As a first-time director, Zack Snyder has done a pretty good job. It can be seen that his shooting style is in the same vein as Wayne Greenberg. I have really learned something after working as an assistant director for several years. .

If there is a flaw, it should be that the narrative technique is a little immature. You can see that he is trying hard to imitate Wayne Greenberg. Well, but for a commercial film, it has reached an excellent standard. As long as it doesn't touch the story-based art film, it is completely enough now! "

The young man sitting next to him nodded and agreed with this evaluation. Perhaps because of his age, he still had the passion for watching movies and did not watch movies completely from a work perspective. His feelings were much deeper than those of his colleagues.

"In some places, this novice director has used the gorgeous techniques of shooting commercials. Sanders, have you noticed those high-speed and slow-motion special effects? They are both fresh and exciting, and gorgeous and unexpected."

"That's right." Sanders had finished watching the movie. He stood up and prepared to applaud politely and bless the director for his work. He said, "I heard that Zack Snyder was an advertising director before. If he can make Wei In Greenberg, who is best at linear narrative, Warner Bros. will have another great director of commercial films."

His words were not only heard by his colleagues around him, but also by a film viewing expert behind him. "Sanders, do you think so highly of him?"

"Let's wait and see. A talented novice director has patiently followed Wayne Greenberg for three years. If he doesn't commit suicide, his future is foreseeable."

The people behind him nodded involuntarily. It was really like this. As soon as he entered Hollywood, he followed a successful person directly. After studying patiently for three years, he almost overcame all the pitfalls that novices need to step on. The most important thing is that he learned Enough successful experience.

"Pa" "Pa" "Pa..."

The applause came to mind after the movie ended. Even though there were not many people in the conference room, which was far less than a real theater scene, it still made Zack Snyder blush with excitement. This was the first time that he, as the leader of a movie, had tasted being ignored by an audience. The taste of applause.

"Hello, Wayne."

After the sparse applause ended, Sanders led the young people around him and was the first to walk to the first row of the conference room. "AMC will provide the maximum number of screens specified in the contract to ensure that the scale of the opening weekend of "The Matrix" will never be lower than that of Universal Pictures' "The Incredible Hulk"!"

"Thank you!"

Wayne shook hands with the two of them a little reservedly, knowing that this was not a film directed by him after all. Today's drama will be experienced sooner or later. The reason why theater companies trust him is because of one successful film after another. Having earned enough profits for them, it will take a long time for Zack Snyder to gain this trust.

"Ask one more question." Sanders saw someone behind him preparing to come over, so he was not in a hurry to give up his position. "I heard that the post-production work of "The Departed" is almost finished, right? I don't know when I can see this film."

After thinking about it for a moment, Wayne smiled and said: "Probably in early May, Sanders, when the preview screening is held, I will ask Warner Brothers to send you an invitation."

"Okay, this is great news that people are looking forward to. I really want to see the masterpiece you prepared for the Oscars as soon as possible."

The preview screening left a shocking impression on the film viewing experts at the scene. No matter which company they came from, before politely bidding farewell to Wayne, they all made their commitments one by one, saying that they would give their best to "The Matrix" vacates the screen.

The quality of the film is very good, and it can be said that it makes everyone’s eyes light up. They are not film critics, they only see the market potential, and things like art have nothing to do with them.

Being able to make these people commit on the spot illustrates Zack Snyder's ability to work.

Perhaps the only thing that made Director Zha feel uncomfortable was that the film viewing experts from the theater chain alliance only had eyes on Wayne, and they didn't even glance at himself who was standing behind him.

After those people left and calm returned to the conference room, he was still carefully experiencing the feeling of being ignored.

"One day, I want those people to treat me the same way they treated Wayne!"

Thinking of a soft grunt, Bruce Rosenblum and Wayne looked at each other and smiled at the same time. It is a good thing to have ambition and motivation. If this can become Zack Snyder's goal, he will earn as much as today. It's not just the promises of those people.

However, Bruce Rosenblum is not optimistic about Zack Snyder's ambitions at all.

Perhaps it is not difficult to become a commercial film director, and with what he learned from following Wayne, it is relatively easy to achieve success. The possibility of becoming the second Wayne Greenberg is basically zero!

Countless media, film reviewers, film reviewers, and countless insiders have discussed this possibility countless times. In the end, the answers every time are surprisingly consistent. No one can copy Wayne's path. Specificity is unique.

One "Joker" can make his name in film history, and there are only a few such films in the entire history of movies.

Many media have made the assumption that even if Wayne announces that he will stop making any films from now on, many years later, when people look back at the films he made in Hollywood, they will still compare him with Hitchcock and Francis. Ford-Coppola and others put together.

At least in the field of film noir, his level is recognized as a master without the statuette admitting it.

But this is only part of Wayne's achievements. It is recognized in the industry that he is also a sharp-sighted producer, project initiator, and screenwriting ability is also first-rate. And most importantly, his net worth has accumulated too fast, hundreds of millions. The status of a rich man represents power, freedom, everything.

The reason why people from theater companies are extremely polite to him is not just because of his identity as a director. He is no longer a simple director or producer. Wayne himself is part of the capital.
