Chapter 173 We have something to say
The filming of "Tunner" went smoothly overall!
On the one hand, Zhuke had watched it several times in his previous life, and the mentors of his film academy also assigned homework to him. Moreover, the Indian version of "The Tuner" adapted later achieved the highest box office in India in 2018, and Zhuke also watched the movie, which was very impressive;
On the other hand, the system is powerful!
The information provided by the system is not only the script of "The Tuner", but also the shooting details and creative ideas, etc. are provided in detail.
With the right time, place and people, what reason does Zhuke have not succeeded?!
As of April 5, Zhuke's second solo work "The Tuner" has been announced to be filmed!
From script preparation, pre-production and filming of the movie, to Feng Jing, with the efforts of Zhuke and a group of crew members, it took a total of 17 days, which is very fast.
"Well, the next thing is the issue of post-production editing." Zhuke sighed.

April 6.
The movie "Memory Fragments" written by Jonathan Nolan, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Jennifer Connery took 23 days to finally complete the entire shooting of the camera, entering post-production editing, soundtracking, dubbing and other post-production work.
Well, the shooting cycle was completed two days earlier than the original time and space.
"Brother, please feel at ease."
Jonathan Nolan comforted him: "Wald Pictures editors are all veterans, and you can rest assured that they are not as big as Hollywood's top six."
Hearing this, Christopher Nolan shook his head: "I'm very relieved, but you know, this movie is not only my personal hard work, it also pours into Mr. Wald's attention, and I can't let him down."
Jonathan Nolan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, I said it in vain just now."
As a younger brother, he still agrees and admires his own brother.
Christopher Nolan did not pay attention to his younger brother again, turned around and ran to the editing room, and participated in the post-production of the film with the editors.
Hollywood adopts the principle of "producer-centeredness", which means that what a movie is ultimately presented to the audience is not mainly directed by the director, but mainly producers.
This is a valuable experience accumulated by Hollywood after a long period of operation!
Directors often have certain types of people who have their own artistic pursuits.
When they are shooting a movie, they will inevitably be mixed with many personal ideas and subjective thinking, which will greatly deviate from the original intention of the movie and make the movie appear obscure and difficult to understand; at this time, producers are needed to participate, and they are the reins of the movie, minimizing the difficulty of watching the movie for ordinary audiences.
Many directors in Hollywood who have obtained the final editing rights will choose to let themselves go after losing the reins of the producer!
A "Gate of Heaven" declared the bankruptcy of Lianmei Film, which has a history of decades!
It is a typical work by the director after he lets himself go!
Therefore, the bloody lessons have made the producer proudly occupy the top of the Hollywood industry chain!
Looking at Hollywood history after the 1990s, only a very small number of directors have been able to obtain the final editing rights.
However!
However, in the "Memory Fragment" film project, Zucker gave Christopher Nolan the final editing rights, not because Zucker believed in his ability. But because this movie was too brain-burning and without Nolan's participation, the movie might collapse.

April 10.
"The Deadly Bend 2", which has been long-lasting for many movie fans, began its premiere in 2,450 theaters in North America on this day.
"Deadly Bend 2" is the second work in the Deadly Bend series, with a certain fan base. Therefore, even if Wald Pictures did not hold a premiere this time, it still attracted countless fans on the day of the movie and rushed to the cinema to watch the movie.
On the day of the premiere, "The Deadly Bend 2" achieved a box office record of $13 million in North America!
This box office figure suppressed the long-released movies of "Titanic" and other film companies, directly allowing it to win the single-day box office championship on Friday; at the same time, it also broke the box office results of the first part of the series.
When "The Deadly Behind 1" was released in 1996, due to theaters' screening, it only achieved a box office of US$12.45 million in three days on the first weekend.
I have to say that the advantages of the sequel movie are very obvious!
This is also the reason why major Hollywood companies have repeatedly filmed sequels of movies in the future rather than restarting original movies.
Especially after 2010, many movies that have swept the box office of Hollywood movies in the global market, except for a few, are basically series of movies.
Pirates of the Caribbean series, Fast and Furious series, The Hunger Games series, and Marvel and DC's superhero universe series...
It is really a sequel to the series of movies. It is too easy to make money and can avoid risks to the greatest extent.
Monday, April 13.
The first three days of the first weekend of "The Deadly Bend 2" was released, and it achieved an impressive record of US$28.3 million in the North American market!
Yes, it is incomparable to movies such as "Juno", "Human Purge Plan", and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" produced by Wald Pictures. Its box office results are very different from that of the first weekend.
Even the box office data finally obtained by the movie may not be as good as the box office data of films such as "Avengers 4" and "Avatar" on the first day of films in North America.
However...it's cost of shooting is very low!
"Deadly Bend 1" cost only $1 million;
The shooting cost of "Deadly Bend 2" is much higher than the first one, but it is only $1.5 million!
What else do you want to make a profit of several times, dozens of times, and dozens of times?
In fact, many of Hollywood's small film companies are very jealous of Wald Pictures' profits.
For example: Miramax Films!
"A bunch of bastards, why can they always find babies?"
"A cost of $1.5 million may end up with a box office of more than $50 million. They can do it, why can't we do it?"
Harvey Weinstein is envious and jealous!
He also has reason to be envious and jealous. You should know that every year, Harvey Weinstein has paid a lot of real money for the box office of the movie and the Oscars, and there are countless efforts he has put in.
However, the cruel reality tells him that you may not be as good as a movie that costs only $1.5 million after working hard for a year.
This is like two students who are about to face the college entrance examination. One has put in all his efforts but can only go to a junior college; the other is addicted to electronic games all day long. When the college entrance examination is approaching, you can temporarily hold the Buddha's feet and get a higher score than you.
Can you be willing?
In fact, there are many such things!
After learning about the box office data of "The Deadly Behind 2" produced by Wald Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Searchlight Pictures, Dimen Pictures, Lions Gate Pictures, New Line Pictures and other Hollywood second-tier film companies, they all said they had something to say after learning about the box office data of "The Deadly Behind 2" produced by Wald Pictures.
