Chapter 873: Teacher Xu's Leisurely Life 1
Hollywood, Screening Room.
After Wolong and Feng Xiao finished watching "Virus", they were both silent for a while, and Fat Jerry said, "Man, you have to say something." ”
"Uh, ah...... A good movie, you can definitely get 2 million US dollars, and it is not impossible to get 3 million if you are lucky. Alan said.
"This is a good movie?"
"What else do you want? Americans don't like subtitles, they can't tell the difference between Oriental faces!"
"Okay, okay. ”
Jerry shrugged and said, "Mr. Xu suggested that we promote it in a city with a large number of Asians, what do you think?"
"The effect is limited, and it's not like I haven't tried it before. I promised Japanese and Koreans to release in North America, but I didn't guarantee how much it would be at the box office.
God can't guarantee this!"
"Okay, I understand, let's get down to business. ”
Jerry dug out a copy of Mr. Xu's secret order and sighed: "We have to live in debt for the past few years, in addition to buying superheroes, we also have to buy audio and video distribution companies, after all, we are mainly horror films, and audio and video products are a lot of oil and water." ”
"Rest assured, "American Pie" and "Chainsaw" are enough for us to eat and pay off our debts, what are our plans for this year?"
""Mean Girl" and "The Devil Wears Prada", "Mean Girl" has been finalized, and Prada bought the copyright early.
This will be the biggest investment in Cactus, OH! $35 million!"
"Of course, you can talk about sponsorship for those luxury goods. ”
Alan understood very well and asked, "What about the candidates?"
"Anne Hathaway did well in "Fifty First Loves". ”
"Anne ......"
Alan thought about the chihuahua-like girl and nodded, "It's really good." ”
The American version of "Fifty First Loves", which was released in North America last year, cost more than 20 million and have a box office of 100 million - will be introduced to China this year.
It focuses on youth comedy and romantic love stories. The general framework has not changed, and the details have changed, such as the heroine has changed from a teacher to a female student.
The original version starred Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, and the salary was too expensive.
Anne Hathaway is a newcomer, very cheap, the male protagonist has been replaced by the new student Ashton Kutcher, and there is a work called "Butterfly Effect" in two years.
"As for the core business horror film, he suggested that we adapt Stephen King's The Mist...... And then there's his own idea. ”
Jerry handed over the outline with a look of adoration and said, "Look at our magician." ”
Allen took a look, and the title of the film was "Escape Room".
Each of the six people who don't know each other receives a mysterious email claiming that they can win a million-dollar prize for winning a game called Escape Room.
But they find this game very dangerous, with different traps in each room......
"It's another pioneering genre, and I haven't even heard of an escape room!
Mr. Xu plans to build a brand in China and develop this thing globally, and by the way, he will also help us build one as a movie merchandise. ”
A live-action escape room game originated from a group of online game designers in Silicon Valley in 2006.
But at first, it did not become popular in the United States, and it was very small, but then it spread to Japan, where it began to catch fire, and then spread to China and bloomed everywhere.
It has spread from the Chinese to the world and has become a relatively popular new type of game.
"Honestly, man......"
Jerry held his head and looked very painful: "I originally just wanted to be an art producer, but for some reason, what I am doing now has already exceeded my imagination.
If I had a choice, I would like to go back in time and still be a poor and happy art filmmaker. ”
"Why shouldn't I? The wealth and influence I have now accumulated are too much for me to sleep......
The sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks sighed for a long time, remembering their youth.
............
The so-called escape room is just a casual thought by Mr. Xu, anyway, he used the resources of Longda's enclosure to build a room for entertainment by the way.
In May, it is the turn of spring and summer again.
When he returned, he left his wife and children and lived in seclusion in the countryside. Last year, the filming of "Big Names", "October Siege", "Heroes" and "Virus" was the most tiring year.
This year, there is only "Kung Fu", which will be launched in the summer.
But his brain power is even more expending, and he has to think of ideas and polish scripts for Hollywood, Pan-Asia, and the fifth blockbuster......
"Quack!"
"Quack!"
"Ahhh!!hhh
He was writing on the second floor, and from the courtyard came the howl of ghosts and wolves. It's so easy to be quiet, and it doesn't take long to rattle again, ahhhh
Teacher Xu pushed open the window, only to see his own daughter clenching her hands into fists, her eyes wide open, and she confronted a big goose without any fear.
The big goose, with a snow-white body and no variegation, a long neck and a tall neck, is also a respectable opponent.
Suddenly, the goose spread its wings and rushed forward with its palms.
The little dragon screamed and started running as well.
But after all, it was a 2-year-old child, and his feet were unsteady, and PIA fell. Seeing the goose rushing closer, Xiao Xu pinched his neck and pulled it up.
"Stew potatoes in the evening. ”
She looked up: "Teacher Xu, can you stew potatoes?"
"I'll do it, will you?"
"I'm looking for a fellow to do it. ”
"It's said that the three families are reunited, is the fellow a family of three?"
"If you don't eat, whatever you want, I eat. ”
Xiao Xu pulled the goose and walked out, Xiaolong didn't cry or make trouble, he patted himself and stood up, and followed with his fart.
She likes it here, there are trees, rivers, big yards, pigs, sheep and big white geese, but she doesn't quite understand: why is her brother not there?
The next time my brother came, Zhang Li took it and took turns to visit.
Blink into the evening.
A pot of goose stewed potatoes was served, with red peppers and fruit wine brewed in the village, which was fragrant and delicious. At the end, the stewed potatoes are eaten with a thick soup, and you can eat three bowls.
used to be a three-person world, but now it has become a real family of three, and it feels a little different.
Xiaolong's energy seems to be endless, and when he is full, he goes to chase the gourd and pomegranate's dog and cat.
In the courtyard at night, with two rattan chairs, Xiao Xu ate the fruit after the meal, and suddenly said: "When the millennium comes, don't you say that you want to have a big party in the Dream of Red Mansions?"
What I mean with Zhang Li is to do it next year. ”
"Why next year?"
"The 83rd year of Dream of Red Mansions was officially prepared, and it can be regarded as the 20th anniversary. The main Dai Lao is 82 years old, and Grandma Liu is also in her 70s, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see him for a few more years. ”
"Then you have to find someone now, it's not easy to contact each other. ”
"Yes, except for having a good relationship with Hu Zehong and Deng Jie, I am not familiar with anything else. If you want to use CCTV's platform to do it together, we will fund it, and they will help find ......"
Xiao Xu held his chin, looked at the man, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xu, do you want to participate?"
"I didn't go, I sat in the crowd, and they were not scared to death, like sitting on pins and needles, forgetting to sleep and eating, tossing and turning. ”
"Phew!"
Xiao Xu knew that he definitely couldn't go, and said, "Xiao Li and I haven't thought about it yet, either me or her, come out with one." ”
After a pause, he sighed: "Not necessarily, maybe both of us have no face and no skin, and we will go up together to make people laugh." ”
Ouch!
Teacher Xu hurriedly came over and hugged her: "You said this, you are asking me to go into the ground!"
"Humph!"
Xiao Xu also hugged his hands and rubbed them in his arms.
The chickens and dogs jumped over there, and there was a lot of fun.
(No!)
