As a veteran film reader, Mr. Xu has watched many American blockbusters.

The "Gladiator" series, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, the complete version of "Tarzan of the Apes...... Naturally, Snow White is also included.

When Hollywood starts a project, it is not necessarily a new script, it may be a script from a few years ago, more than ten years ago, turned out, changed and re-operated.

"Snow White and the Seven Warrior Monks" is obviously a follower of kung fu fever.

Set in 1880, the magic mirror is broken into seven pieces, the witch has found six, and the last one hangs around the neck of an English girl.

She came to Hong Kong to attend her father's wedding, but was persecuted by her stepmother, fled to the mainland, and met 7 warrior monks to promote herself and fight against the witches......

Historically, "Kung Fu" had a conflict with Sammo Hung and asked Yuan Heping to save the scene urgently. Yuan Heping was talking about the project in Hollywood at the time, and it was this "Snow White and the Seven Warrior Monks".

He was originally asked to be a director, and it was planned to start shooting in 05.

The female protagonist changed from Anne Hathaway to Natalie Portman, and the male protagonist changed from Jet Li to Zhou Yanfa and back to Jet Li, and there was a lot of chaos.

According to Yuan Baye's own words, Disney has always been dissatisfied with the script.

It was changed four times, and he didn't pay attention to his opinions, and only used Disney's screenwriters, and he couldn't write well when he used them, and finally dragged them out.

Around 2011, this book was turned out and renamed "Seven People's Society". But after going back and forth, I felt that the budget was too high, and there were two crashes at that time, "Magic Mirror" and "Snow White and the Hunter", so I didn't shoot it again.

Completely into the cold palace.

It is worth digging into it, there are so many people in China, and Hollywood is the only one who has a soft spot for "warrior monks" and is keen on the background of the "late Qing Dynasty".

The Chinese in their lenses, especially the aristocracy, always have an indescribable feeling.

And when we look at it, eh, this must have been made by Hollywood. For example, the emperor in "Mulan", the hat, beard, clothes and color tones, the standard painting style.

That night, the Los Angeles Hotel.

Mr. Xu stood in front of the window, looking at the bustling city night, and his mind was full of the U.S. election...... Ahh

Analogous to "Snow White and the Seven Warrior Monks", there are many so-called films that combine Chinese and Western, "The King of Kung Fu", "The Legend of the White Ghost: The Desperate Escape", "The Lion of the Heavenly General" and "The Great Wall".

Some barely look at it, and some are so rotten that they are broken.

Because it's not a real blend of cultures, it's perfunctory, or Hollywood-led perfunctory.

Xu Fei really wanted to make a serious combination of Chinese and Western genre films, but the mainland market did not rise, so he retreated and decided to make a big cool film.

It is not only in line with the current oriental fever, but also in line with the high concept brought up by "The Matrix".

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

"The heroine is an American girl who studied in Hong Kong as an exchange student.

Inadvertently involved in gang affairs, a bag of new drugs or drugs is hidden in his stomach, ready to be shipped to Europe and the United States. During his detention, he was molested and beaten by his subordinates, the bag broke, and the medicine melted into his body.

The girl finds herself unusual, and her brain develops ......"

The next day, Jerry listened to Mr. Xu talk about the story framework and said, "It sounds interesting, but what do you need to pay attention to when making a script?"

"First, the concept should be clear. It's about what human beings will become when they develop 100% of their brain potential. ”

"Is there a scientific basis?"

"It's just a movie, it doesn't have to be real, it doesn't matter if you call it pseudoscience. ”

"Second, it is necessary to show the process of gradual alienation of girls, what 20% is like, what 40% is like, and what is 80% and 100% like.

The change is from low to high, and the power is from small to large, for example, at the beginning, it is to learn things quickly......"

Xu Fei thought for a while and said, "You can arrange a Chinese roommate for her, who knows kung fu." The girl usually can't learn how to learn, but after the bag breaks, the movements she has learned before are like instinct, and she kills the gang all the way. ”

"OK! OK! ”

Jerry was also excited, and said, "Actually, it's similar to a superhero, except that we add the concepts of science and philosophy. Don't worry, I'll find someone to write the script right away.

How much budget do you need?"

"Special effects are important, 50 million dollars. ”

WHAT？

Jerry shuddered, not long ago he shouted that "Prada" is the highest investment in cactus, and this is another breakthrough?

"Contact Colombia, the film is sure to be distributed worldwide. ”

"What about the management?"

"Of course it's me, Hong Kong, Hollywood. ”

"Protagonist candidate?"

“......”

Xu Fei passed in his mind, the widow sister was only 18 years old, and she was tender and watery.

Heck, Hathaway isn't bad either.

Natalie too!

"Young actresses around 20 years old let them audition. By the way, how does Queen Wearer Prada work?"

"Preliminary preparations. ”

"As soon as possible, the actors will decide Hathaway and Meryl, and by the way, talk to Prada about whether they are interested in promoting it in China. I've got an awards event next year and I need two actors to be there.

If the sponsor nods, it will be easier for the actor to communicate. ”

Unconsciously, Jerry also developed the habit of memorizing small books. There is no way, there are too many elements to talk to Mr. Xu, and if you are not careful, you will miss a big thing.

Xu Fei made this investigation and casually finalized two movies.

A pan-Asian action movie, a medium-budget Sino-American co-production – that's right, "Super Body".

Many people say this piece is rotten, but it's cool!

Say this piece of pseudoscience, but it's cool!

It's not logical to say this film, but it's cool!

$40 million in cost, more than $400 million at the global box office.

There are a lot of awkward places in the original version, such as the Korean gangster who died until the end, and there is Korean investment at a glance. and the inexplicable French police, as well as the kiss scene, which was filmed by the French at first glance.

A powerful hero who evolves quickly, can do anything, and it's also funny to turn into a USB flash drive in the end......

Xu Fei's "Super Body" should be on a higher level, not pretentious or deep, more detailed and more upgraded, and the so-called philosophy of science is all packaging.

The essence is called a big cool piece!

Both.

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

In the name of investigation, Mr. Xu spent more than 20 days in the United States.

I visited most of the special effects companies and collected a bunch of information. When the first draft of the script of "Super Body" came out, he returned to China.

As soon as he came back, Jiang Wen looked like his father had died, and he came to the door in a hurry.

"Teacher Xu, this, you have to help!"

"Huh?"

"I can't help it, I called you earlier, I just knew you were back!"

"Huh?"

"Please, please, you need to help......"

"You sit down and take a sip of water. ”

Xu Fei was inexplicable, let him slow down, and asked, "What is going on?"

"That, that......"

Lao Jiang was embarrassed to say it, so he went outside and flipped through it and pulled out a certain newspaper.

With the approval of the Second Branch of the Municipal People's Procuratorate, film actor Liu Xiaoqing was arrested in accordance with the law on suspicion of tax evasion. Previously, Liu Xiaoqing had been criminally detained by the Public Security Bureau in accordance with the law. ”

“......”

Old Jiang blinked, understanding that this thing was not authentic.

Xu Fei looked at him, at the newspaper, at him, shook his head and said, "I can't help with this." ”

(And ...... ）
