It's "The Amazing Spider-Man"! This is definitely an unexpected project.

What surprised Renly was not "The Amazing Spider-Man" itself, but that Sony Pictures had so generously announced the performance opportunities of such a top-level work and opened up the participation of all actors. This is definitely a news that is enough to make the whole Hollywood sensational. , No wonder Lisa was so mysterious just now.

As we all know, the "Spider-Man" released in 2002 is of epoch-making significance. This is not only the first film in film history to break the 100 million box office opening weekend, but also reawakened the vitality of comic-adapted movies, which has since opened a new era of blockbuster movies. Domain - The power of the Marvel Universe is coming.

In the past few years, the "Spider-Man" trilogy has created many eye-catching records, and it is definitely one of the most successful series of movies in the 21st century. It can be said that the current "Spider-Man" is the market. The only superhero in the world that can be compared with Superman and Batman in terms of brand value, and even in the appeal of the younger generation, Spider-Man is still faintly ahead.

In 2007, after the successful conclusion of "Spider-Man 3", Sony Pictures has not given up the follow-up development of the series of films. With the strong rise of "Iron Man", the plan of "Spider-Man 4" was proposed logically. . However, the director of the series, sam-raimi, believes that the series has lost its vitality and must be restarted instead of continuing with a sequel.

Hence, "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Generally speaking, top-level projects with an investment of more than 100 million yuan are high-profile interest wrestling fields. All resources are firmly in the hands of the five major brokerage companies. Just like "Thor", only a small group of people can really When exposed to these projects, the exchange of interests and the use of personal connections are the keys to determining the cast lineup.

But now, Sony Pictures is generously announcing the "The Amazing Spider-Man" project, and it still chooses male and female protagonists!

It is no exaggeration to say that the "Amazing Spider-Man" project is enough to attract any young actor to join, the investment of 230 million, the success of the previous series, the strong support of Sony Pictures, the attention of many people... these It's enough to keep the project in the spotlight and keep all the young actors coming and going.

In comparison, the entire size of "Thor" has been reduced by one size, and neither the investment amount nor the work itself can be compared at all. Not to mention Lisa, even the top brokers who are used to the big world are bound to swarm.

Renly has to admit that Sony's promotional strategy is really beautiful. "The Amazing Spider-Man" has not yet started filming, and the news of the audition for the leading actor will inevitably cause major media to scramble to report, which will be the first shot for the promotion of the film.

As for the final selection of actors, it is estimated that it will still be among the newcomers in the hands of those big-name agents. For example, Andrew Garfield, who had the last laugh last life. Sony Pictures has made enough eyeballs and profits, and it is invincible.

However, Renly rejected "Thor" and naturally had no interest in "The Amazing Spider-Man".

First, because the essence of the two series of works is actually the same, there is not much difference. If Renly chooses a superhero himself, he is most interested in Deadpool in the "X-Men" series. , Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy" and Ant-Man in "Ant-Man", these superheroes with unique styles and slanted swords are the most interesting, just like Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" Same.

Second, because "The Amazing Spider-Man" is a completely disappointing series, Sony Pictures is too anxious to restart the series, so that the positioning and the main line are not clear and clear, and the box office returns are also difficult to make people. Satisfied, although there is no loss, but only two films in the trilogy series were shot, Sony Pictures still took the initiative to stop it, cut it in half, and then re-selected younger high school students to start a more youthful new "Spider-Man" series.

So, abandoning "Thor", Renly has no reason to choose "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Thinking of this, Renly felt a sense of absurdity spontaneously. He is now a rookie with nothing and nothing on his sleeves, but standing here to pick and choose, not to mention whether he is willing to play "Thor" or "The Extraordinary Spider" Xia", in fact, "Thor" just gave him an audition opportunity, even if he participated in the audition, he might not be able to be selected. In the current situation, he is the party waiting to be picked, not the party with the option.

Renly pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile. That's fine, they don't look down on him, and he doesn't look down on them either.

Looking away from The Amazing Spider-Man, Renly scanned the bulletin board carefully.

In fact, Renly likes to browse the bulletin board of the Screen Actors Guild very much, because he can always see countless information on this small bulletin board, and follow the pictures according to the memory of his previous life. Big projects such as "Super 8" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", as well as many independent films that have never been heard of, are also a side of Hollywood that is not known to the public.

In fact, there are less than 600 films that Hollywood can show in theaters every year. Taking 2009 just past as an example, only 520 films were screened in theaters or screened or tested or released in the whole year. Eleven; in addition, there are art theater chains in North America and continental Europe, which specialize in showing unpopular art works. However, the operation of art theater chains is very difficult and the number of screens is very limited.

There are only a hundred or so films that have had the chance to be shown.

So, what about other film projects? Every year, more than 2,000 film projects are registered, or even more. Among them, more than half of the works cannot be released in theaters. They either go directly to the DVD distribution route, or choose to upload on the Internet, or Stacked in corners to collect dust.

This is the true face of Hollywood, the brilliance under the spotlight is just the tip of the iceberg, and the darkness occupies the wider world.

Now Renly is standing in the dark world and groping. The "Pacific War" just lit a faint candle. If he wants to illuminate the whole world, there is still a long road ahead.

Without the filtering and screening of brokers, Renly looked for a needle in a haystack in the union, and it was really not an easy task to find a suitable project. Even if Renly has the advantage of being born again, the bulletin board in front of you is so dazzling, it still makes people's eyes sore, let alone those actors who don't have this advantage? Therefore, Lisa couldn't help but suggest that Renly had better seize the opportunity of the "Pacific War" and find a suitable agent so that his career can start quickly.

Seeing the last corner of the bulletin board, the huge information quickly slipped from the gap like gravel. Another day of futile searching. Renly pursed the corners of his mouth slightly. Whenever this time, he would also question whether his insistence was in vain. If he agreed to the signing invitation of Andy Rogers, if he agreed to the "Thor" audition invitation, if...

and many more.

Renly's pupils shrank, and his eyes fell on the white chalk writing in the corner.

The so-called white chalk writing is the most common type of work in the Screen Actors Guild: uncertain investment cost, generally speaking, it is likely to be an independent production of less than one million dollars; uncertain investment company, generally not officially registered The information company may be a newly established small capital, may be a project established by independent fundraising, or may be a small foreign company; I am not sure about the actor's remuneration, generally speaking, it will not be too high, even for the protagonist, the 100,000 yuan. The remuneration is also estimated to be enough; the shooting period is uncertain, generally speaking, it is possible from a week to a year...

As a simple example, a recent college student who has just graduated from the film school won a scholarship of 100,000 US dollars from a certain foundation. He wanted to shoot a work in which he wrote the script and served as the director. He successfully went through the official channels and submitted the registration. After the information has passed the official review of the Screen Actors Guild of America, the official actor employment information can be submitted.

Such information is written in white chalk.

This kind of work is often the most concerned project for the fledgling rookie actors and fourth-tier to eighteenth-tier actors. If you are unlucky, you will shoot a super bad movie, but at least you can get a few thousand dollars in remuneration and pay the rent. , you can also declare to the public that "I am an actor who has been on camera"; if you are lucky, you can shoot a good work, maybe you can go to the Sundance Film Festival, no matter what the feedback is. , This is a qualitative leap for new actors.

Projects written in white chalk are much more intimate than big projects as far-fetched as The Amazing Spider-Man.

Of course, the white chalk word project is a gamble. Many times they can't see the script at all, only hear a basic concept, and have no way of judging the quality of the work, so they can only bite the bullet.

Such a gamble is even more exciting than the Russian roulette. Unless it is desperate, most actors are reluctant to try it easily. Otherwise, like Penny in "The Big Bang Theory", starred in a terrible R-rated movie, that is a stain that can't be erased in a lifetime.

However, when Renly saw this row of white chalk words, the adrenaline began to burst continuously, and the uncontrollable excitement gurgled in his lungs, as if boiling water had reached the boiling point, big blisters started When it comes to the surface, it could burst open at any time. The slightly shrunk pupils slowly bloomed, and the light in the depths of the eyes became brighter and brighter.

Renly knew that the project he had been searching for was finally here again! It's not because this work can be as popular as Thor, it's not because this work can work with Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, like "Pacific War," and it's not because this work can He swept away thousands of troops at the year-end awards ceremony, but because this work could realize his dream, his dream of being an actor!

The line of white chalk was written: "Buried alive".
