The story of the transformation of the trucker......

It's easy to think of Transformers.

There is no "Transformers" in this world, at most there is only "Transformers" similar children's animation, but it is not dominated by morphing graphics, but mainly mecha-type battles.

In fact, Shen Lang has long wanted to make a movie about the "Transformers" genre.

However, it was very difficult to make "Transformers".

The first is the issue of investment in films......

The investment in "Transformers" in the original world of Shen Langji is 195 million, and the unit is US dollars.

Every special effect is grinding money!

How much is 195 million US dollars converted to RMB?

More than 1 billion yuan!

Nima, such a terrible investment, although there are a lot of Hollywood movies, there are really few such exaggerated movies in the history of Chinese films.

Of course, although there are problems with investment for Shen Lang, there are not many......

The script is the problem.

Although "Transformers" is basically based on visual effects, the plot is not complicated, but even so, Shen Lang only remembers some plots......

He is not a person who is reborn with the system, and after so long, the plot of "Transformers" has long been forgotten, so there is a high probability that the original "Transformers" will be changed to a certain extent, and in order to adapt to the Chinese market, many things have to add Chinese elements.

The third is the problem of the special effects team......

Obviously, the special effects used in the new movie are only a lot more than those in "Human Eradication Project", and there is even the possibility of doubling them.

Although Shen Lang's special effects team is improving day by day, he has really not tried 3D type of special effects production, and it is this type of transformation, basically the details of each mechanical character have to be designed by themselves, and the workload is very large......

The addition of Jet, Heweis, and Aiden can only say that Shen Lang's special effects team has the qualifications to further explore 3D movies, as for whether it can be completed on schedule according to Shen Lang's requirements......

This is still difficult.

Of course, Shen Lang is not the kind of person who retreats when he encounters difficulties, since he thinks that this movie is made like this, then Shen Lang will not think about anything else.

Just shoot the Chinese version of "Transformers"!

Rewrite a book.

However, before writing the script, Shen Lang still had to investigate the market, after all, the market decided everything, right?

Next......

Shen Lang felt that he should be very busy.

..........................................

It's late at night in Los Angeles.

Shen Lang, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally yawned, and then lay on the bed and slept beautifully, until he slept until noon the next day, when he woke up quietly.

After waking up, Shen Lang cleaned up and walked out of the room.

Chu He was already waiting at the door with his suitcase and sun hat.

Behind Chu He, Jett, Heweis, and Aiden looked around with some complicated eyes, and then looked at Los Angeles outside the corridor window......

They are leaving the United States, where they have always stayed, to go to a foreign land.

Their moods are naturally mixed.

But? Thinking that they left this time to go to Huaxia to find their future and dreams? And it's only about a year, when they'll come back in a year? They were in a slightly better mood.

Shen Lang's Oscar trip did not make any waves in the United States.

Or even say? It's so cold that people feel embarrassed.

In the past, when Shen Lang left the hotel, there were always countless people who followed Shen Lang for various interviews? And now, even if Shen Lang doesn't pretend to go out at all, no one will bird Shen Lang.

He's just a supporting character here? It doesn't make any commercial sense at all.

Don't know what else to think? But Shen Lang feels that this state of freedom is very comfortable, at least you can do whatever you want without worrying about being photographed by reporters, right?

"I'll answer the phone. ”

When you get out of the hotel, load your luggage in the car, and get ready to head to the airport? Shen Lang's phone rang.

Shen Lang looked at his phone......

I saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

When Shen Lang received a call? And after hearing the voice inside, Shen Lang fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong?" Chu He noticed Shen Lang's sudden contemplation, and suddenly felt a little strange. target

"You go back first, I maybe, I'll go back later......" Shen Lang put away the phone and looked at Chu He.

"Why?"

"Carl wants to talk to me......"

"Karl? Which Karl?"

"The director who used to drive a truck......"

"Huh?"

"He's coming? Chu He, help me bring my luggage first? I'll probably return to China later......"

"Do you want me to accompany you......"

"It's okay......"

At the door of the hotel, Shen Lang subconsciously looked ahead again.

Ahead......

A Bentley stopped.

Bentley's windows rolled down? A middle-aged man raised his mobile phone and smiled at Shen Lang.

After seeing this middle-aged man? Chu He was a little surprised.

This person? Not someone else? It is the director of "Titan Behemoth" who must nominate Hollywood director Carl for "Human Elimination Project".

Jett, Heweis, and Aiden looked at Shen Lang in a daze and walked towards Carl with a smile, and after getting into Carl's car, they suddenly felt a little weird.

"That...... Miss Chu He, is Mr. Shen Lang lying to us?"

"No, why do you ask?"

"Last night he said he was the same kind of person as us, but now why do I feel like he's not the same kind of person as us?"

“......”

....................................

In the café.

"Mr. Shen Lang, I have always felt that it is a loss for the Oscars not to give you that award......"

"Mr. Carr, thank you very much, after all, Hollywood is as strong as a forest, and "Human Eradication Project" has not yet been released in the United States, no one knows what the outcome will be, does it?"

"Mr. Shen Lang...... I was relieved to see that you were still calm. ”

"Haha, Mr. Karl, ...... you are looking for me today"

"Oh, Mr. Shen Lang, I think you need a big stage. ”

"Huh?"

"Mr. Shen Lang, I hope you can come to Hollywood to develop, Chinese movies are difficult to win Oscars, if you are a Hollywood movie, many things are different......"

Beautiful piano music echoed around the café over and over again, and a faint fragrance permeated the small space.

Karl looked at Shen Lang with admiration in his eyes.

"Mr. Carr, thank you for your kindness, well, in the future, I will come to Hollywood, but not now......"

"Are you trying to wait for you to get ready before you come over?"

"Hmmm......"

"Mr. Shen Lang, I hope you understand that Hollywood is far from being as simple as you imagined, in fact, it is very xenophobic, you are a Chinese, if you don't start laying the foundation now, you will suffer a lot in the future. Carl looked at Shen Lang and finally reminded him seriously.

"Mr. Karl, what do you mean ......?"

"Mr. Shen Lang, I have a movie called "Alda" next, I think this is the ultimate movie that challenges the limits of the bladder and senses, and even the current 3DMAX...... The production cost is about 250 million ......" Carl looked at Shen Lang and showed a smile.

"3DMAX Extreme?" Shen Lang suddenly narrowed his eyes when he heard the name "Alda".

Carl reminded him of the truck driver from his original world.

But......

The difference is that the truck driver of the original world is already the king of Hollywood, and Carl of this world is not the king.

After all......

He also has a copy of The Lord of the Rings on top of him.

"Well, the 3D movies on the market at present, I don't see the extreme, and at the same time, I think the box office of "The Lord of the Rings" is not the limit of the world movie box office......" Carl looked at Shen Lang with flickering eyes, completely unconcealed the ambition in his eyes.

"......" Shen Lang didn't speak when he heard this, but continued to look at Carl.

""Titan Behemoth" is an attempt of mine, and that attempt is considered a success, however, I personally still feel dissatisfied, I think, there is a lack of a concept in this movie, Mr. Shen Lang, I saw this concept in your "Human Removal Plan", I think the biggest highlight of "Human Removal Project" is the integration of the story, the expansion of the world view, of course, the biggest flaw is also this ......"

Carl began to gush about his thoughts on "The Human Eradication Project", without hiding his affection, and of course, when talking about the film's flaws, Carl also shook his head from time to time to express his pity.

This movie is still quite immature in his opinion......

"Mr. Carr, how do you think this movie should be made?"

"In fact, the film is so urgent in its storytelling that if I had to shoot it, I would focus on a character and then magnify that core infinitely, like the ship......"

“......”

Shen Lang listened quietly to Carl's views on the Human Removal Plan.

Carl seems to treat Shen Lang as his own, and does not hide his criticism and flaws of this movie at all, and at the same time points out that many of Shen Lang's methods of making movies are problematic......

When Shen Lang heard half of it, he then began to frown.

In fact, after careful reflection, he really felt that this movie was very problematic, and if he was asked to make it again, he would even have to rewrite the script of the entire movie.

Half an hour later......

Shen Lang was inexplicably a little awe-inspired, and everyone loved to listen to the words of praise.

But......

If someone talks to you about your problems in front of you, analyzes your problems, and helps you find solutions, then this person is probably your nobleman.

"Mr. Shen Lang......"

"Well, Mr. Karl......" Shen Lang looked at Karl.

"I appreciate you very much, and if I can, I hope you can participate in the production of the movie "Alda"......" Carl looked at Shen Lang.

"......" Shen Lang was silent.

"This movie is done, you will have a certain status in Hollywood, at least, there will not be a situation where no one cares about the Oscars this time, or even mockery, although, I have been scolding the Oscars for being rotten, and I have been saying that the Oscars are almost a white man's cinematic paradise, but ...... If you're going to come to Hollywood in the future, you have to be recognized, at the very least, I can help you......"

Karl was handing him an olive branch.

From Carl's eyes, Shen Lang could see that he was very sincere.

Seem......

This sincerity is indeed an appreciation.

Shen Lang could see from his eyes that he hoped that he could be well......

Seems to be a kind of pity?

"Mr. Carr...... I'm sorry. Shen Lang pondered for a long, long time, and finally, shook his head with a smile.

"It's decided?"

"Hmm. ”

"You should know that the road in the future will be difficult for you to take, perhaps, you will take a lot of crooked roads, unless, if you don't come to Hollywood, you will always be in China......" Carl showed a regretful smile after hearing Shen Lang's refusal.

"There are too many people behind me, I can't leave them behind......" Shen Lang laughed, "Whether you win the award or not, it seems that you can't evaluate whether it's a good movie or not......"

"Mr. Shen Lang, what do you think a good movie is?" Carl looked at Shen Lang very seriously.

"The movies I make are good movies. Shen Lang was silent for a long time.

Although laughed.

Carl was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "You told me ......"

"Hahahaha, Mr. Karl, then I feel quite honored!"

"Mr. Shen Lang, it's a pity that we can't work together, but I'm looking forward to your new movie!"

"Mr. Carr, I'm looking forward to it too. ”

"Shen Lang, this is my mailbox, in the future, send me an email when you have time, if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time, remember!

"Definitely, definitely!"

In the café.

Another burst of laughter.

In the midst of laughter, Shen Lang got up to say goodbye.

Carl looked at Shen Lang's back, and then his eyes were full of emotion......

He knew that this Huaxia man rejected him, and chose a path.

A very difficult path......

However, he admired the young man even more.

The young man is very immature now......

However, the potential is staggeringly high!

He was happy to be friends with the young man.
