The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family didn't know the whole family.

Zhang Chu also felt that he was thinking a little too much, how could such a good thing come to him!

If it is so simple, it doesn’t take too much energy or money.

"You always want to retire, right? What if I can't find a suitable person to shoot in the future?"

Xu Ji waved his hand and said, "Let me enjoy a few years of purity first. If there is really a good script, maybe I will come out to play with it if I feel quiet and think about it. I want to shoot some types that I have never been exposed to before, but now there are too few excellent scripts!"

I have been making movies that I have been doing for most of my life, so I can stop just by wanting to stop.

Zhang Chu felt that the retirement of such an old senior who was serious about filming was a huge loss to the Chinese film industry, so he thought in his mind about which story he should use to tempt him and rekindle his energy.

"Director Xu, you know I'm working with Mr. Ridley Scott. They're still shooting movies in their 80s, not to mention that Clint Eastwood is also a 80-year-old, acting and filming. If you're idle, just study my book "The Silence of the Lambs". Let's go to Hollywood to explore!"

Didn’t you mean you didn’t come into contact with the type before taking pictures?

Zhang Chu believes that Xu Ji has definitely never made a movie like "The Silence of the Lambs", which combines horror, psychological suspense and legal procedural films.

Even the film "The City of Psychological Crime" released last year is a crime and murder theme, but strictly speaking, it is not the same type.

In fact, Xu Ji is also very good at making movies that tell the theme of serial killers. He is not a newbie in violent horror movies.

"Actually, I think this movie is really suitable for your adaptation. If the heroine never has any sexual status and avoids the murder scene, it will also dispel the audience's expectation of murderous scenes, and is more inclined to feminism. Feminism all over the world is constantly budding, and such a film can just follow the trend of the times!"

Although many film companies have asked about the copyright of the movie "Silence of the Lambs", they are basically companies like Lion Gate, Peak, and Horror House, which specializes in filming small-cost films. They have no deep digging into this work, but just want to shoot a work that can scare audiences on Halloween.

Obviously, Zhang Chu could not agree.

The status of "The Silence of the Lambs" for horror psychological suspense films is undoubtedly a waste to hand it over to these ignorant companies!

Although it is very popular in North America, almost all major studios believe that this type of movie will not have too high box office and a low ceiling.

In addition, Zhang Chu's copyright fees are particularly high now. They have obtained the right to adapt film and television at a high price, but have increased the cost and made no profit after investing, and they may even lose money.

Of course not many people are willing to do such a transaction.

The current situation is that it is neither high nor low!

Xu Ji admitted: "I have actually read yours and it is very attractive. The most outstanding one is definitely Hannibal, but Clarice is not weak either. If I really ask me to shoot it, it is still very difficult to start. Have you found an investment? We can't change this background from the United States to the country, and we can't even establish a project at that time."

"I just have this plan now. I'll contact those studios during the awards season. You're just idle and have nothing to do, so you can do your own projects. Maybe you can still succeed in the beauty at the retirement age, so that those young people can see the ginger or the old ones will be too hot."

Although Zhang Chu is rich, he cannot take over all the investments in "The Silence of the Lambs". He must find a reliable partner to save money and destroy the IP.

This is not something that can be done overnight and needs to be treated with caution.

Movies are really a high-risk industry. You can’t walk by the river without getting wet. Even Disney has big-time films that cost more than one billion dollars every year.

It is not strange that a movie has dragged down a company. The famous Cleopatra of the last century almost cost $44 million to destroy Twentieth Century Fox!

If this example is just a small matter, then "Gate of Heaven" successfully closed Lianyi Pictures with a cost of $45 million and a box office of $3.48 million. This company was once established by Chaplin and others in the golden age, and went bankrupt like this.

Although "Forrest Gump" has brought a lot of reputation to Robert Zemegis, his directorial studio closed down because of filming a "Mars Saving Mother" with an investment of up to $150 million.

Just like the Titanic hit an iceberg, John Woo's Hollywood road was also ended by "The Whisperer", and the starring Nicholas Cage is also gone on the road to bad movies!

The best thing is of course to transfer the risks to others. Zhang Chu would not foolishly raise tens of millions of dollars to lose money.

He did know that "The Silence of the Lambs" would be a good story, but the box office matters are never accurate, so it will be difficult to release globally by then.

Now it’s just to find something for director Xu Ji. This director’s age is not very big in Hollywood, and his reputation and box office are both good and good, which is just suitable for "The Silence of the Lambs".

After all, in the original time and space, "The Silence of the Lambs" won several awards such as the Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, and the global box office was as high as 270 million US dollars.

That was ranked fifth in the global box office list in 1991, and it exceeded 500 million and 600 million after inflation!

The production cost was only $15 million, most of which was spent on actor pay, because Judy Foster was already an Oscar winner at that time, and this movie made her the youngest two-time Oscar winner.

Of course, the cost is definitely not that small now, and you also have to find reliable actors, so Zhang Chu is planning to hand over this project to Xu Ji. This old man has a very good vision of selecting actors and often wins the best actors.

Even if this project cannot be done, it’s fine. Just think of having some fun in his retirement life and polishing his boring time!

Many office workers who have been busy all their lives will be very uncomfortable after suddenly retiring. Zhang Chu doesn't believe that Xu Ji can withstand loneliness and really withdraw from the film industry.

Xu Ji patted his thighs. He knew that this kid was using a conspiracy, but he couldn't help but jump into the trap with curiosity.

"You are really good at calculating. You actually want me to work for you as an old bone."

"The main reason is that you are not worried about others doing it. Your qualifications are here, and your resume can be completely used to go to Hollywood. Don't you want to shoot this story?"
