Chapter 678: Find an ally

Xu Fei has already bought a car, and it is also a second-hand Chevrolet, which is inconspicuous.

It was night, and the broken car was parked in front of the villa. The lights were on in the living room, and he curled up on the sofa, flipping through an outline that Miss Achu had polished.

Xiao Mo is throwing up, he has been throwing up since the afternoon.

And there is a shadow on apple pie.

The outline is very detailed, and with some detailed dialogue and scene description, it is a complete script. At the beginning, an extraordinary setting is given:

"In 2020, the earth is overpopulated, resources are scarce, infectious diseases are prevalent, and there are many problems. Only the United States is a paradise, with an unemployment rate of only 1% and a crime rate at an all-time low.

This has to do with a plan put in place by the government: one day a year, for up to 12 hours after 7 p.m., people can engage in fights and killings without legal responsibility.

So on this day, a large number of people took to the streets, burning, killing, looting, and wantonly committing murder, constituting a beautiful landscape......"

It's called "Human Eradication Project"!

The original version is in 2022, and Mr. Xu has changed it slightly, eh, there is absolutely no black lighthouse.

The protagonist is a salesman for the security system, making a fortune in this deformed society, and having a happy family.

Another year of clean-up night arrives, and the protagonist watches the night of killing in his impregnable house, only to see his bear child die, open the door to save a homeless man, and attract a gang of bandits.

This kind of background has to have a big scene at first glance, but in order to save costs, the story can only be compressed into a small space.

"What do you think?"

"The subject matter is novel, and the plot is mentally retarded. Achu said.

"Haha, that's right! This film sells the setting, what kind of humanity is it, what kind of futurism, and the plot is just a piece of. ”

"Of course I know, the university I went to here. But you've already invested 8 million, do you still have the funds to invest?"

"It's not that we shoot it ourselves, I'm going to use it to pull an ally. ”

He shook his notebook and said, "One newborn seedling is too fragile and too conspicuous, two are much better." ”

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

In 1997, the North American mining industry collapsed.

Canadian coal boss Frank Gusta decided to transform and founded Lionsgate Pictures after Vancouver's landmark "Lionsgate Bridge".

This man is not simple, he has a close friendship with Clinton, and has raised campaign funds for him. Clinton reciprocated the favor and helped him solve a lot of troubles.

After Lionsgate was founded, Gusta spent another $100 million to acquire a distribution company. In addition to distribution channels, the company also has a film library such as "Bad Lieutenant" and "Golden Pond".

Headquartered in Canada and based in Hollywood.

At first, he was not favored, there was no film to shoot, and he made a living by manufacturing shooting equipment. Since then, he has participated in "Buffalo 66", "Suffering", "Gods and Beasts", etc., and has lost every film. It wasn't until 2000 that "American Psycho" made a little profit.

Gusta doesn't expect established creators to come to Lionsgate, he just wants to absorb geniuses who are alternative and unknown enough. Like Mike Moore.

This dude filmed Fahrenheit 911.

Later, Lionsgate launched the "Saw Horror" series, the "Hunger Games" series, acquired Summit Entertainment, and took "Twilight" and "Bomb Disposal Unit" as its own...... By 18 or 19, the performance had surpassed Paramount and became a big man.

There are a lot of companies in Hollywood that were once in the limelight and still ended up being acquired by the Big Seven.

Because the risk-taking ability is too weak, a film may fall into financial crisis if it fails.

For example, if a blockbuster fails at the box office, large factories can try to reduce losses through six-layer peeling and overseas channels. And these companies lack channels, and some can only rely on theaters to make money.

After all, Hollywood is the Hollywood of big factories, and you can either choose to cooperate or be swallowed by them when you are in trouble.

Only Lionsgate survived, because it also became a big factory.

......

On this day, after months without a film, Lionsgate, which had just started its business, welcomed a customer.

Fat Jerry.

He didn't know the future of this company, he just thought that like a cactus, he was still at ease in the face of Gusta.

"I've heard a little about cacti, and it's a shame. You're a great company, I heard you've found new investors?"

"Yes, an overseas capital. We are making a low-budget youth film. ”

"That's great, I wish you all success. ”

As he spoke, Gusta suddenly stared at the left side of his body, as if something was there.

When Jerry was confused, the guy suddenly rushed over, grabbed his shoulder and shouted, "Man, there's a ghost next to you!"

β€œwhatοΌŸβ€

The fat man was frightened, but the other party laughed, "Just kidding, don't mind." ”

β€œ......”

The fat man is speechless, no one is stupid to be able to mix Hollywood, this should be the other party's way of communicating, alternative and impressive.

Gusta joked and got to the point: "I saw the story you brought, and the idea is amazing! Do you want to bring it to the screen?"

"Of course, but we don't have a lot of money and we want to find a few co-investors. ”

"Ha, what a simple thing! I can get back to you right now, Lionsgate is willing to cooperate. ”

β€œ......”

The fat man was stunned again, "Don't you need to study it?"

"No, no, you know, there are a lot of opportunities in the world to go wrong. I believe in my vision that this will be a successful film. ”

Okay, Jerry kind of understands the reason why he can only mix at the bottom, and the courage of the leader is indeed different.

What he didn't know, of course, was that immediately after he left, Gusta called a meeting.

"Great idea, the story is weaker, but who cares?"

"Yes, this setting alone can bring a large number of audiences into the theater. ”

And it's cleverly written, substituting news events for big scenes, focusing stories in a small environment, and a few million dollars can be done. ”

"Compared to Buffalo 66 and the like, it's just too commercially promising. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes. ”

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

On set, bedroom interior.

Brettney Murphy was lying on the bed with indecent legs. A spiritual guy was very dissatisfied with her posture, so he started a verbal sword.

From time to time, I pulled out a booklet to study on the spot, and continued to argue.

Feeling insulted, Brettney screamed in pain, and clung to the sheets, her muscles bursting and trembling with anger.

β€œ......”

Xiao Mo watched it with relish.

Under the influence of Mr. Xu, this young man has fallen and gradually developed in the direction of an old driver.

"Click!"

β€œGOOD!”

The director shouted to stop, and Brettney straightened her skirt up, without shyness, revealing a super sweet smile. The staff was in a good mood and sure enough, it was full of pink bubbles.

Mr. Xu also relished it, and the people he chose were much more beautiful than the original.

After the filming of this scene, it was not early, and he was about to go back to the villa, when an employee suddenly ran over: "Boss, someone is looking for you." ”

"Looking for me?"

When he looked over there, it was Zhang Dongfang's face, and at first glance he was Chinese.

Xiong Xiaoge.
