Chapter 150 Script Discussion (2/4)
Shen Changlin had thought before that if Matt Damon were replaced with Cate Blanchett or Sandra Bullock in A Mou's "The Great Wall", the look and feel would definitely be different.
girl help girl, this is no more burning than "Boruto"...
Of course, he was just thinking about it. After all, for a big production worth US$150 million, male stars must be safer!
I have to admit that the living space of female stars is indeed not as good as that of male actors.
The inevitable result of the further development of the film industry is that big-budget industrial films with male stars, various science fiction films and action films have become the absolute mainstream. Even in Hollywood, the international film center, many Oscar-winning actresses are still interested in Marvel. Various side characters in superhero movies are flocking to them.
The box office of "Honey Trap" and "Bridesmaids" are not as good as "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Hangover". Even the box office of "The Spy", which cost 65 million US dollars, is not as good as that of "The Bodyguard" which cost 30 million US dollars. almost!
To fight against the box office, we need to find male stars!
Of course, this matter is also divided into genres. Some genres rely on female stars to sell movies...
To bring it back, Shen Changlin never thought that the road administration would agree...
I'm not a fool, 150 million US dollars.
Of course, if Mr. Lu can really get so much money, Shen Changlin can do it!
At that time, all the post-85s will be packed and stuffed in, and they will have a big quilt to sleep with... No, they will be caught in one fell swoop...
…
"I feel like a broker..."
When Luzheng left Changlin Film and Television, Guo Songjiang asked Shen Changlin and was evaluated as a "broker". Lao Guo nodded and added: "But he has contacts with the local government and Hollywood..."
Yang Fan interjected: "We have investigated that Ma Yun acquired Cultural China, established Ali Pictures, and invited Zhang Qiang to serve as Ali Pictures' executive president and executive director!"
"Who is Zhang Qiang?"
"Zhang Qiang and Director Han are brothers. He has served as the latter's deputy for many years, and also served as the deputy editor-in-chief of BJ station... and he was the planner of a movie produced by Road Zheng. In addition, Starlight is also connected with Guo Jingming... "
Shen Changlin knew that "From Heaven", Guo Jingming and Zhang Ziyi served as producers and producers, and invited Chen Xuedong and Zhang Yixing to star in the show. The director was Wei Nan, who is known as the number one trailer editor in the Mainland. …
The movie is beyond bad...
Even the most die-hard Zhang Yixing fans don’t bother to mention it!
However, Shen Changlin was quite curious: "Is the Ahli department going to establish contact with the road administration?"
Yang Fan nodded: "The road manager has been in Hollywood. Since Ahli wants to make a movie, he will definitely need someone to help with the matchmaking!"
Shen Changlin was very curious: "Why don't they look for you? You also have a lot of connections with Hollywood!"
Yang Fan shrugged: "...They looked for me."
"Isn't the price high?"
"Well, I also promised Ahri to entertain..."
"...Then why didn't you agree?"
Yang Fan smiled: "You're right. They blew a lot of stuff, smashed data, piled up content, and wanted to produce content through an assembly line. In fact, it was the same set of things played by major North American studios in the last century. It didn't appeal to me. force!"
Guo Songjiang nodded: "RKO just killed himself!"
"And United Artists, MGM..."
Shen Changlin nodded: "I'm also quite puzzled. The IPs that are being hyped now are all leftovers from Hollywood. IP is not everything. Superhero movies are losing money. I can't understand their thoughts! "
Guo Songjiang interjected: "But we are the first company to call out IP..."
“I can control quality, can they?”
“…they think they can!”
The three chatted for a while, Shen Changlin looked at the time, and then went to see Jackie Chan...
The specific matters of "The Vengeful Man" have also been discussed.
…
Valley Nickel
The location is a club, quite luxurious.
Shen Changlin arrived first and sat down to drink tea, staring boredly at the feet of the cheongsam girl standing next to him...
It was really unintentional!
He doesn't have these quirks...
The only thing that can be called a hobby is one word: beauty!
Things like body shape are secondary. As long as you look good, it's a sure thing.
Of course long legs are best...
"Director Shen..."
The eldest brother Cheng walked into the box and greeted Li Laoyuan. Shen Changlin stood up and said, "Brother!"
Jackie Chan was accompanied by a middle-aged man. Shen Changlin knew him—Tang Jili!
"Director Tang..."
"Do you mind if I bring him here for reference?"
"What's this..."
After the three of them were seated, the cheongsam girls made tea and left.
Tang Jili looked at Shen Changlin and said with a smile: "They say I am a handsome director, but compared with Director Shen, I am still not handsome enough!"
"...No, the most important thing about being a director is ability. If the director is the most handsome, it has to be Jackie Chan!"
Shen Changlin smiled and praised Jackie Chan!
Jackie Chan started directing on his own in 19789. He directed "The Laughing Fist", "The Young Master", including "Plan A", "Police Story", and "Crime"!
Among them, "Crime Squad" is Huang Zhiqiang's project. At first, Li Lianjie was approached, but Li Lianjie had a conflict with Jiahe, so he later approached Jackie Chan, but Jackie Chan had his own team, and he fell out with Jiang Zhiqiang during the filming. Later, Jiang Zhiqiang In "A Moment of a Mouse", he made crazy insinuations about Jackie Chan using a body double and being lecherous. Of course, the director of "A Moment of a Mouse" is Wang Jing...
"I read the script. In this script, the image of the eldest brother is a bit cold, right?"
"You mean it doesn't fit into a kung fu comedy?"
"...It's not a kung fu comedy. In terms of tone, this script is not a kung fu comedy..."
Shen Changlin understood: "You mean to add something warm?"
"right!"
Shen Changlin thought about it: "Okay, you can add that his wife died, the car he gave him away was smashed, and a dog was added. Well, the dog they raised together was also killed... How about finally taking action in anger?"
"…Then what does he do?"
"Working at a gas station...isn't there a setting?"
"But the Chinese over there usually open restaurants... Can you set the owner of a restaurant?"
Shen Changlin shook his head: "It's unlikely. He is a retired killer. Opening a restaurant is not in line with this professional habit!"
Tang Jili: "My setting is based on "The Chinese"... the novel by Stephen Lesser."
"I've read this novel," Shen Changlin interrupted: "I don't think the little thing about bringing England and Ireland is worth spending 75 million US dollars to produce!"
"With Ying?"
"It takes more than two months to conquer the Falklands. It's a disgrace to the Wuchang... Let's change the setting to European gangs... Albanian gangs!"
Tang Jili returned to the original question: "...but will the character be too cold?"
Shen Changlin thought about it for a while, and then said: "We can also add some cute attributes. For example, he has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to meditate on plans silently before doing things. Before killing a room full of people, his mental expectation is 18 seconds, and the result is 35 It only takes seconds..."
"…but…
"Okay," Jackie Chan interrupted Tang Jili: "I quite like the setting of obsessive-compulsive disorder."
