Chapter 147 Have an idea (1/5)
Do you want to explain?
This thought came to mind, and Chen Mengxi was shocked!
Why explain it?
Not a special relationship...
You are a reborn person, can you be a little proud of yourself?
Thinking of this, I put my phone back in my pocket, and then went to Sheraton Hotel, the hotel where Xijie representative stayed!
Before coming to China, Kim Soo-jung asked his senior Seo In-hou in advance what attitude should he treat Chen Mengxi writers...
Xu Renhou told him that Writer Chen is very close to you. As long as you are polite and have enough conditions, he will definitely agree.
In other words, the benefits are given more...
Kim Soo-joon is the representative sent by Xijie this time.
In his thirties, he is quite capable, but he doesn't have much vision...
For example, if you check in a hotel, Mengxi originally wanted to arrange for both four-stars, but Kim Soo-joon had to ask for five-stars...
It's simply sick!
I completely forgot that he came to ask for cooperation...
So, Chen Mengxi didn't see him immediately, so he let him go for a few hours to make him awake.
After meeting and greetings for a few words, Chen Mengxi said goodbye directly when he saw that he had no idea of speaking first.
What's wrong?
Still want Chen Mengxi to take the initiative to suggest Xijie join in?
The adaptation of "Hide and Seek" was proposed by DreamWorks, which is different from "Rose Red Lotus". "Rose Red Lotus" is Laurie Macdonald, who was connected by Chen Mengxi through Xijie's...
Then came "Uninvited"
This time, Chen Mengxi, who was contacted by others, wanted to adapt "Hide and Seek"...
You can completely get rid of Xijie and make it yourself!
So, what is Kim Soo-jong's strategy?
Don't know what's up!
...
"The King of Kung Fu", Liu Yifei's performance was not satisfactory!
As I said before, "Kung Fu King" is a complete pile of symbols for kung fu movies, such as Cheng Long's Drunken Hero, Li Lianjie's Monk, and Jin Yanzi and the White-haired Witch are also paying tribute to classic martial arts movies...
"Golden Swallow" - a 1968 work directed by Zhang Cheung, the person who plays Jin Swallow is Cheng Peipei.
How classic is Jin Yanzi's image - Jin Yanzi, the first female hero in Chinese film history who dresses up as a man, is heroic and magnanimous, both civil and military!
Sister Fairy has either never watched "Golden Swallow" or wants to act differently, with a sad face and no sense of sharpness at all.
Although the role is the leading female lead, she was beaten by the second female lead Li Lianhua in her acting skills!
Fortunately, the fight scene was done well...
However, the plot is so bad that everything is useless!
The box office of "Kung Fu King" is not very good, with North America stopping at $52 million, Mainland box office stopping at $170 million, and global box office stopping at $120 million...
Cheng Long and Li Lianjie cooperated for the first time, and the mainland box office lost to "Yangtze River 7"...
The first battle on the big screen, that's it...
The acting career is not at its peak, how about singing?
The Japanese-Benz album boasted by the press release, for example, this news: Liu Yifei, a new generation of "Little Dragon Girl" who is becoming more and more popular in the mainland and Hong Kong, entered the Japanese entertainment industry with fluent Japanese language. Feifei, who performed well, recently entered the Japanese-Benz music scene as a Chinese singer. She recently launched her first Japanese-lane disc "All My Words" in Asia. The record company spent tens of millions to promote it all over Asia, hoping to successfully become a Chinese singer who has gained a foothold in the Japanese-Benz art world.
Then what?
Apart from the sales of 100, he didn't even have a single house, and he was not as good as the Women's Twelve Music House, Alan...
Tired!
Now there is a new problem, what should I do with Huayi?
That's it. The original script of "Kung Fu King" mainly starts with the battle between the little American boy, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and is an absolute man's drama.
After Huayi joined, in order to give its actresses opportunities, some female dramas were added: the little boy's girlfriend Jin Yanzi was originally just a foil, but now she travels across the modern and past, transforming into different characters to develop legends; the white-haired witch, the original script was designed with a male-shaped white-eyed Taoist priest who had been changed several times to a white-haired witch.
Therefore, this gift is heavy!
But now, she doesn't really want to sign a contract with Huayi...
...
At Mengxi Studio, David listened to the outline of "Hide and Seek" story, and then shook his head: "This story is not very realistic!"
“Where is unrealistic?”
"Why not call the police? Surveillance? Generally, security work in wealthy areas is very good, and it is impossible for people wearing helmets to follow them... Also, won't the neighbors find out?"
The story of "Hide and Seek" is a perverted female killer who killed someone for the sake of the house and hid the body in the wardrobe.
I committed crimes again and again to replace them with a new and better house...
Chen Mengxi tilted his head and thought about it. It was right. The United States had clear hierarchies, and the rich and slum areas had strict classifications...
If you wear a helmet and appear in the wealthy area, you may be shot dead by the police on the street...
"Then how do you think it should be changed?"
"I know the core content of this story is to occupy the magpie's nest... Why not apply for a maid? Or a housekeeping cleaning staff? Also, the persuasiveness of killing people for the house is not enough!"
"…You look at the modification and just look for Doug Milo, he is quite good..."
Day, isn't the persuasiveness of killing people for the house enough?
Then what do you want to do?
Change to robbery?
David hesitated for a moment and said, "I think DreamWorks may not buy this script!"
"…I like to buy it or not, I just happened to have something else to look for you."
David is an intermediary, he is not optimistic, and it may really not suit the taste of the Americans...
In fact, the concept of "Hide and Seek" is not new. There is a comic called "The Story of the Residence", which tells the story of people who are called "leeches" who secretly occupy other people's houses.
If Hollywood was really interested, it would have started filming long ago!
David changed his tone: "What's the matter?"
“…Can we make our own movies?”
"It's okay to shoot it yourself... but the income may not be as good as participating in the investment, and the risk is very high. If the issuer is unwilling to issue it, we can only go offline..."
"If you participate in investment, how much can you participate in at most?"
David looked a little weird, but he still said: "...In fact, Paramount has shortage of funds recently. If we are willing to make it ourselves and the movie itself has the potential to sell well, I think they should give more favorable concessions!"
“Paramount lacks funding?”
"Yes, they even took out all the projects that they had great potential to sell out!"
This is true. After the economic crisis broke out in 2008, Hollywood encountered a veritable shortage of money, and many famous and lacking money-related projects almost missed...
"Tsk tsk, it's a pity that I don't have that much money, otherwise I could be the Hollywood savior!"
“…Boss, did you just say to make a movie?”
"Oh, yes, I have this idea." As he said that, Chen Mengxi explained the outline of "Human Elimination Plan" and asked him: "Do you think there is any trouble?"
The selling point of "Human Purge Plan" is to set: killing people is not illegal!
The main thing is that in the future, due to excessive population, a large number of unemployment and crimes have occurred, so the US government has a sudden idea: too many people, just kill some!
The government stipulates that March 21 is the statutory "killing day". Within 12 hours from 7 pm to 7 pm this day, all crimes are legal...
Dawei's eyes lit up: "...The setting is very novel, the final carnival, and there will be no too much investment. Find some new actors... I think it's almost done if you don't have $2 million!"
"…The simplest thing to shoot is the selling point of the bloody movie, don't care about any logic!"
"Human Purge Plan" cannot be thought about it carefully. I feel that that night was not the criminal party, but mentally ill. Since all crimes are allowed, why not rob the bank?
David couldn't hide his excitement: "OK, I'll go back to find the director right away!"
Chapter completed!
