Chapter 1384: The Women Who Made the Movie

Mr. Zipper's security personnel have done a full security check of the house tonight, and everything is normal, and there are no electronic devices that shouldn't be there.

When the couple returned to their residence after dinner, according to the security requirements, the service personnel who had been arranged here in the manor had already left, and the servants would come early tomorrow at six o'clock in the morning.

Now that there were no outsiders, the couple took advantage of the early hours to walk around the common space of the house and admire a lot of furnishings and artworks.

At this point, Hillary, who was more delicate, saw something and said to her husband: "If this house is arranged according to that Allen's wishes, then he is a person who loves natural scenery and gives priority to nature."

I heard that he likes to fly all over the world over the years, and it is very compatible with this hobby. ”

Mr. Zipper nodded, "He's still a straightforward person. ”

In such an antique house, it is reasonable to hang some oil paintings of human figures, but this house is basically a landscape painting.

Personal preference, the main building is almost like this, the landscape painting is the most proportional, but there is no famous painting in the style of Picasso, and even Van Gogh only has a portrait of a person who can see the face clearly.

Mr. and Mrs. Zipper are both human spirits, and you can see some of the essence of some people just from the style of the paintings hanging on the wall, but...

What if these paintings weren't chosen by Zhang Nan?

It's really not Zhang Nan's choice, these are Nicole's ideas, but it's because everyone in the family likes natural landscape paintings, and they have no opinions, and they think it's a good result.

But there's a question: "How did so much art come about?"

In response to Clinton's question, Mr. Zipper said: "As far as I know, there is a special team collecting art for him all over the world, auction houses, private collectors, not to mention all of his network's treasure hunts.

Looking for it all over the United States, searching all over the world, with his financial resources, as long as the collection in the hands of ordinary people is interested, there is a great possibility of being acquired..."

It was almost 12 midnight when the couple rested, and I don't know if it was because of the freshness, so they got up at 6 o'clock the next morning, quickly freshened up and went out for a jog.

Exercising, one is a habit, and the second is to see the scenery here: this house is less than 100 meters from Long Island Bay, and it is a great feeling to wake up in the morning and see the sea through the window of the master bedroom.

Jogging along the road that is not wide in the forest, you can faintly see the sea on the side, and occasionally you can see squirrels scurrying through the trees, and the chirping of birds in the forest is in your ears.

I can only sigh that Mr. Allen really knows how to choose a place to occupy the land, and it is too extravagant: there are some sculptures in front of the house to decorate, some are one or two hundred years old, there are even earlier, and even a few are suspected to be works of art from the ancient Greek or Roman period!

This furnishing is not a problem with the spectrum, and the zipper couple is a little bit unsure of how to comment.

If an expert in cultural relics comes, he will even shout that it is wasteful: Zhang Nan really does what he says, and even the statues of the ancient Indian period are embellished with manors.

However, people are rich and can be willful, and the zipper couple can't manage so much.

It was rare to be able to rest for two days during the election campaign, and then it was a bayonet fight, and the Zippers took this visit and visit as a vacation.

Relaxation is the most important thing.

President Zizel was busy, Zhang Nan was also busy, and he left for Botswana two days later, and he had to sit in his position as the chief of the chief and occupy a chair in the council of chiefs.

This trip didn't use the 767, but flew on the newest giant 747 ultra-luxury private jet. Guan Xingquan did not go to Africa together, he went back to Huaxia with a few bodyguards who took turns to rest and came from Huaxia to prepare for the wedding.

Soon Boss Guan will get married, and Yan County will have to hold a wine at that time, because this man's banquet can't be held in New York, right?

Some things are very subtle, and Boss Guan's statement to Nicole and the others here is that they plan to travel and get married, so they don't make a big deal of it.

Shanghai also has to do it, Zhang Nan has to go, and he has to find an excuse to go.

Fortunately, it is not the Internet society 20 years later, and a wedding with celebrities will not become a hot search on the Internet, and if you pay attention to privacy, you can better control it.

......

The meeting in Botswana went well, and Zhang Nan, who held an old rhinoceros horn scepter, was successfully elected as the chief chieftain, and then flew to China non-stop.

Sneaky: Sneaky, this will Zhang Nan's private jet go to his own diamond mining area, in the name of staying in his own territory for another week.

I took a specially arranged transport plane, first arrived in Mumbai, India, and immediately transferred to a charter flight that had been prepared in advance and flew to Shanghai.

The whole process is kept secret, and men do some secret things without telling the women in the house, which is a common problem!

It's just that ordinary people just act secretly by themselves, and Zhang Nan is dispatched, which is to be accompanied by a group of people to do underground work.

Hurry up!

I stayed in my hometown for two nights, held a big banquet, a small place, no matter how upside down it was, it would not make the whole world know: absolute news blockade, and besides, the local media in China would not be very interested in the weddings of these former celebrities.

Even if you have a cold, you won't report it: the local leaders are basically uninvited, and there are people from the superiors, and there are not so many taboos in these years.

reported that so-and-so leader attended someone's wedding, and so-and-so celebrity was there?

Don't be funny!

As soon as this side was finished, Zhang Nan and others accompanied Mr. Guan and his wife to Shanghai, and the next day it was another wedding.

In addition to having no leaders on this trip, they are basically relatives and friends of the bride's family, this Zhang Nan is not interested in going to Zhang Luo, and his brother-in-law and sister come forward.

The new house is ready-made, and the mother of the Bai Mansion on Fenyang Road has lived in it for several years; I didn't go to any well-known hotel for the wedding, and my sister Zhang Hui's super villa Lilac Garden in Shanghai became the venue needed for the wedding.

The site is huge, the huge lawn, the wisteria in the courtyard, the dragon is entrenched, and the garden is full of spring, which is an ancient and romantic legend at all.

In addition, the team of chefs and waiters invited by Director Ma with his relationship fully meets all the needs of a wedding with a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

Go to the hotel for a wedding and count it as a ball, this is the style!

Of course, some people rejoice, and some people are sad...

Zhang Nan was more worried, he could only tell his two women that he had no plans to get married in recent years.

As a result, the answer was: people don't want to get married recently, and they will go back to the UK as soon as the wedding is over, and the three women's families have their own temporary three-year plans, planning to make a movie every year.

The bride has to go on a honeymoon or something for the time being, return to the "Gang of Three" later, and the movie shooting funds don't need to be freshly baked The groom and Zhang Nan, an irresponsible guy, show up, the money saved by the three women in the past few years is enough to shoot seven or eight of them.

As for distribution, they have not been in vain in the UK in recent years, they have already shot several internship films, and have participated in several film festivals in Europe, large and small, which are already well-known and have a certain number of contacts.

The quality of each film is also okay, small fights, film festivals sell the copyrights of various countries, plus British distribution, you can make some money.

As for the original start-up capital, the living expenses saved by the three women: each person can save hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, Zhang Nan is not stingy with his two women, if the two of them didn't take the initiative to say that they couldn't spend it too much, they would have given more.

Guan Xingquan is the same, he is really good to his girlfriend, and he is really not short of money.

"Art films?"

Zhang Nan was curious.

"An art film, a black comedy, a commercial film, the plan is for the time being. ”

This is Zhang Li's answer.

"Anan, we really have to put some effort into these three movies in the future, and we have also registered our own film company, when the time comes, you can make some efforts to release them in the United States, how to find them, you have to get us a few hundred screens, right?"

This is Chen Xiaoxu.

"No problem, absolutely no problem, the schedule is negotiable..."

Where to discuss?

On the sheets, this will be on top of it.

British films have always been poor at the box office in North America, and this is the case for the entire European film industry, which has gone off the line for self-entertainment.

However, my own woman's movie is about to be released, and it is a matter of one sentence to get a few hundred screens, even if the box office is not good and loses some money, they can't let their movies come on a three-day trip to North America.

Besides, is there necessarily no market for the movies they make?

I asked them why they didn't go back to China to develop, and Zhang Li told him: The current film market in China is miserable, and it is estimated that there will not be much improvement in the next few years, so it is better to develop abroad for the time being.

The three of them are studying European genres, even if they don't learn the self-entertainment of European films, but it is obviously not appropriate to go to Hollywood.

Besides, they are not Adjani who have achieved fame, and now they are famous in Europe.

They know Adjani, and they know that their man has a son born to French roses, and they don't want to go to the United States to join in the fun.

What else can Zhang Nan say?

By the way, I asked what the film to be made was about to be, and the answer I got was that both art films and black comedies had already decided on the scripts, and the plot was decent to listen to, and it was even okay.

But the commercial film has not yet been decided, and it is also the most troublesome project: the investment is large, and the three prospective novices think that they don't have much to do with me, so they have to plan well.

Zhang Nan thought for a while, and said to Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu: "In this way, there is a good script on the side of Xingchen Columbia, and I will ask their CEO to give you the local area, anyway, the outside world doesn't know that there is this book." ”

Chen Xiaoxu frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't this okay?"

"What's wrong, Colombia has a mountain of books, and it doesn't matter if there is one less good one.

That book still has a bit of a European flavor, but it's still difficult for you to grasp the essence of it, but then I became an investor, a producer, and the director I contacted to finalize it, it was Luc Besson, and only this guy could grasp it.

When the time comes, you should follow along, that guy is a talent, and that movie will become a classic!"

If you don't want to be a director, you can only be a producer, and the two women are not angry.

Zhang Li asked, "What plot?"

Zhang Nan smiled, recalled, and said slowly: "New York slums, by the way, this background can also be changed to London or Paris."

But if you want to get the most out of the North American market, it's better to use New York as a background..."

"Go on. ”

Chen Xiaoxu doesn't look at her as a sister Lin, but in fact, her nature is more anxious than Zhang Li.

Zhang Nan raised his hand in surrender and continued: "Okay, good. In this ghetto lived an Italian named Leon, and the role had to be played by Jean-Reno, and no one else could play that taste.

This Leon is a professional killer, and he has a weird personality, no culture, and a closed living environment...

How to close?

When the time comes, I'll read the script by myself, what do you tell me to say now, do you want to continue listening...

One day, Matilda, Leon's neighbor's girl, knocked on his door and asked to take refuge from his death.

It turned out that the owner of the neighbor's house was the policeman's eyeliner, and because he embezzled a small package of drugs, he was punished by the bad cop Stanfield for killing the whole family.

Gary Oldman has to play this bad cop and know who he is?... I didn't say it, he's a British actor, of course you know...

The little girl Matilda is rescued by Leon and begins to help Leon manage the household and teach him to read, while Leon teaches the girl to use a gun, and the two get along well.

And... This is one of the most important essences of the whole movie, and there is also a wonderful chemistry between the two of them: love!

Later, the girl stalks the bad cop Stanfield and rushes to take revenge, but is accidentally caught.

Leon arrives in time to save the girl.

Later, they move again, but the girl ends up in Stanfield's hands...

Leon risked his life to take down a piece of police, rescued the girl again and let her escape through the ventilation duct, and told her to get the money he had saved up.

Leon disguised himself as a policeman and tried to sneak out of the encirclement, but was spotted by the cunning Stanfield and detonated the bomb on his body when the bad cops were triumphant..."

Zhang Nan put the level of the story okay, and the plot made the two women frown, and finally Zhang Li said: "The story line is very simple, but it is very attractive."

Human taboos, conflicts between good and evil, and hot scenes, these elements are all there.

But you have to make a good movie... Difficult!

The scale is difficult to grasp, and according to Hollywood's ratings, one is finished without paying attention. ”

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "I said, Luc Besson is a talent, he has to shoot this film, your characters are to learn and make money."

Don't worry about the funds, I have two-thirds of the shortfall, and the rest of Brother Guan is out, and the shares of your company are exactly this standard.

As for the scale, a North American and world version is working on a European extended version, this is the matter under the scissors, you know better than me. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxu interjected: "There is another big problem, the little girl's actor is a big problem, she is the biggest highlight in the whole film, but it's really hard to find..."

Zhang Nan interrupted her words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is no need for auditions, it is very suitable to have a young actor, if it weren't for her to grow up, this film would have been filmed a few years ago." ”

"Who?"

It was Chen Xiaoxu who asked, curious about the baby, but she laughed as soon as she asked: they all said that they wanted to wait for the little girl to grow up, and they didn't say their names, so they were obviously not child stars, and they wouldn't know if Zhang Nan said his name.

didn't bother with the little girl's name anymore, but there was still a question, Zhang Li asked: "Has the name of this movie been decided?"

"Killer Leon. ”

is decent, the two women think it's okay, but after combining the plot, it seems that something is missing.

At this time, Zhang Nan said: "If we use our Chinese to determine the name, there is a movie title that is absolutely classic, just see how the countries translate it at that time, this text is not uniform is trouble." ”

"What?"

"This killer isn't too cold!"

Zhang Nanshi discussed the killer in bed, and in Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, a group of professional killers ambushed two Maybachs with rockets and machine guns.

A few hours later, Zhang Nan put on big pants and yelled into the satellite phone in the bedroom of Mahler's villa: "Check it out for Lao Tzu, we haven't done it yet, which king-bastard planted Lao Tzu and is impatient!"
