Chapter nine hundred and seventeenth
Qiao Feng stayed in Taiwan for three days and then flew to the United States alone
Lin Qingxia and the three girls continued to stay in Taiwan to help Qiao Feng poach people, but the new TV station was already full of staff. Whether it was Zhou You or Zhang Xiaoyan, they had their own connections, and they could bring in a team.
Other directors, producers and hosts who have been poached can also bring some people to the table to the top, plus the staff of Wireless will come to support them at that time and Changbow Film, both the management team and the production team are enough.
Zhou You is in charge of the production department, Zhang Xiaoyan is in charge of variety shows, and the two are the directors of their respective departments are responsible for actual work.
As for the director of the new TV station, Qiu Sheng, the boss of Times Group, is the role of
The staff is complete, and the rest is the shooting of TV series and the production of variety shows. When the new TV station is opened, they will make a good start.
However, Qiao Feng has no time to stay in Taiwan and take care of the preliminary preparations, because there is a movie about MGM to be released.
On the second day after Qiao Feng flew to the United States, the longest-lasting series in film history, 007: The Killing License was released in North America
This movie is the first big production film produced by MGM after Qiao Feng acquired MGM.
Although the stand-in killer directed by Wu Yusen and starring Zhou Runfa was filmed earlier than the murder license, after all, both Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa are not very famous in Hollywood.
Even if the two heroes they produced in the first half of the year, the heroic character, and the harsh detective, many movies were released in North America, which had a certain popularity. However, in the North American summer season, where blockbusters gathered and competed in fierce competition, the two were still not famous enough to support the box office in this environment.
Let the stand-in killer be released in the summer season, and the result is just to become cannon fodder and serve as a stepping stone for real blockbusters
Therefore, the schedule set by MGM for the stand-in killer is in September more than a month later
At that time, the popularity of the films released during the summer season had declined. Relatively speaking, the competitiveness was insufficient. It was very suitable for stand-in killers. The production cost was relatively low and the main creators were not well-known.
As for the Terminator 2, which Qiao Feng originally wanted to be released on Independence Day for more than ten days, due to post-production issues, of course, the main reason is that he does not want to compete with the murder license and another new film released half a month later, so he had to be released to next summer.
Therefore, the name of the first video produced and released by MGM after changing its new owner can only be placed on the murder license
As the first film that our company invested in, produced, released and released after taking over MGM, Qiao Feng, as the boss, must be here to support him on the day the murder license was released.
Because some of the main creators of the murder license are still running publicity in other cities, and Hollywood has held the premiere of the murder license, so Qiao Feng watched the video that night with MGM general manager John and the heroine of the film Kelly Lowe.
This is the first time Qiao Feng has seen a movie, which is not much different from what he remembers.
The whole movie is quite big
But this movie is a family movie of pg-13
This is really not easy for this type of action movie
In order to reach the level of family fun, many violent and bloody scenes must be deleted and cut
For example, in order to shoot the scene where the agent of the Love Bureau bit his leg was bitten by a shark, the crew found a person who had one leg and installed a prosthetic limb for him, and then asked the real shark to bite off his prosthetic limb. However, this scene was finally deleted because it was too bloody.
The reason for this is to create the gimmick of the first 007 film above the PG level for promotional purposes, and to win over the audience of lower age groups.
However, although many shots have been deleted, the big scene is still shocking
The video started with a helicopter and a small plane, and Bond also used a helicopter to hang the small plane that the villain Sanchez was riding in in the sky like fishing.
Bond and his friends then jumped to the church to attend the wedding
This is the first big scene
Then Sanchez spent $2 million to bribe the agent who escorted him to jump into the sea and escape, and what was the submarine?
Then Bond found Cross, one of the villains who hurt his friend, on board. Cross and Sanchez's men were trading poisons, and Sanchez was diving and climbing planes. There were two big scenes, such as the final battle of tanker trucks on the devil's highway, the planes in the sky, the pursuit of tanker trucks on the ground, and the bazooka, which was quite visually impactful.
However, after reading it, Qiao Feng still felt it was hard to describe it
Although many of the shots in this film are quite good, it was paid tribute by Nolan in the Dark Knight Rises decades later and imitated by Fast and Furious 4
But in Qiao Feng's opinion, there are quite a lot of problems
First of all, there is the question about the title of the film. The title of the film is called the murder license. As a result, the whole movie never appeared except that Mr. wanted to take back Bond's murder license and appeared once.
There are also many things in the plot that are perfunctory or unreasonable
For example, Bond's black friend "Shark", appeared suddenly in front of Bond without any preparation or related plot. For example, the Hong Kong Drug Enforcement Administration was actually a group of ninjas, and Sanchez was inexplicably found a hiding place.
For example, Bond is at Sanchez's house. He has countless opportunities to kill him silently, but he has no action. He has to wait until his identity is revealed. He is a big drug lord who can control the leadership of a country. He has not found out that Bond and Philip are friends. The plot is inexplicable and has no effect on the plot.
Although Qiao Feng's opinion, the Bond series has never been good at plot, such a heartless plot is really speechless
Of course, what makes Qiao Feng speechless is not the problem in the plot, but the fight inside
At this time, the action scenes of North American action blockbusters were really left behind by Hong Kong action movies for decades.
The fight is very stern, you punch me and I, and you still have no strength, but the person who is beaten can faint or unable to get up.
What's worse than the real thing about fake falls on the football field
Qiao Feng was watching it while complaining in his heart, but fortunately, this movie was destined to make money in the end.
The plot is perfunctory, it doesn't matter
At worst, just watch this time. If you don’t watch it in the future, just don’t get poisoned.
After watching the movie, I attended the banquet prepared by John later. It was already past eleven o'clock when Qiao Feng left.
The heroine of the movie, Kelly Love, naturally followed Qiao Feng away, and then got into his car under Qiao Feng's surprise gaze.
A minute later, the black car drove into the night and headed towards the hotel where Qiao Feng was staying.
