Chapter 268: Happy Cooperation
"Can I see the general plot? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhou Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, he didn't want to ruin the reputation of these surfing dogs that he had so hard to get because he made some money.
"Okay, that's no problem. As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a notebook from a briefcase and handed it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help but smile on his face, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to understand it, so the script was bilingual in Chinese and English, he gestured to Andrew next to him, and then began to watch it.
At this time, Brad had some confident smiles on his face, he had read this script, and the revised one was even more exciting than the one before the revision, and he believed that Zhou Yu would definitely agree.
And the Jingcheng Foreign Affairs Office staff sitting inside, looking at Zhou Yu, couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, he had more or less seen a similar situation, but when a large number of actors faced an invitation to a foreign movie, their first reaction was to ask how much the salary was, if it was a Hollywood movie, it would be extremely excited.
But the young man in front of him, the owner of the surfing dog, seemed unfazed, didn't even agree, and asked some questions, which was really amazing.
Just like the production manager said, the influence and appeal of these three divine dogs are very large, if this cat and dog war with three divine dogs is released in China, he will definitely take his son to watch it, because his son also likes tigers very much.
Zhou Yu looked at the script carefully, the manager of the production company directly handed over the entire script to him, so that he could understand the information of the whole movie from beginning to end, in his opinion, one of the reasons why the second part is not as good as the first one is the interaction with humans.
A large part of the second film is the struggle between cats and dogs, the interaction with humans, obviously not as much as the first, and the interaction with humans, which is something that animal films cannot withdraw.
In addition, it's the carelessness of the animals and the plot, and many cats and dogs in the second part are not as cute as the first part, especially the pearl cat, which is simply the embodiment of ugliness.
This script looks very thick, almost a hundred pages, according to the number of words on a page, it almost reaches 100,000 words, judging from the script, it is very careful.
Zhou Yu just looked at the general pulse of the story, as well as the plot introduction, and slowly closed the script, which was completely created with Huzi and Dabao Xiaobao as the core.
A Chinese family, with a Chinese pastoral dog, moves next door to two dog agents, and the two dog agents are played by Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
The two dog agents are protecting an archaeologist who has just unearthed something from the pyramids of Egypt that was an important item used by the cat people to control humans in ancient Egypt.
Those who have watched the first part naturally know that at the beginning, a dog agent played a video to novices, which told the story of ancient Egypt, when the cat tribe oppressed humans and forced them to build pyramids, and was finally driven away by the dog tribe.
On the other hand, the villain Persian cat Dingo, after escaping from prison, led a group of subordinates to occupy the cat spy organization, and once again led the cat people to fight against the dog people, and at the same time it was bent on ruling the world, and these things excavated from the Egyptian pyramids became an important factor in its goal.
One of the two dog agents is very steady and arrogant, and the other likes to be naughty and egg-picking, and they both disdain this native dog from China, but as the plot progresses, they are able to repeatedly block the attack of the cat clan with the help of this Chinese pastoral dog.
In the middle and late stages of the plot, the cat people broke through the underground organization of the dog people, broke the connection between the entire dog people, and also got the contents of the pyramid, and at the same time, for safety reasons, decided to activate the human control program in the ocean.
At this time, the two dog agents, under the leadership of the Chinese pastoral dog, stepped on the surfboard, and under the heavy obstruction of the cat people, they reached the ocean, and on the sea, they had a final battle with the cat people.
The whole plot is not particularly unusual, but in the detailed plot, there are many interesting things, as well as those warm interactions with humans, which can be said to have attracted him to want to watch and watch this movie shot by Huzi and Dabao Xiaobao.
Zhou Yu put his hand on the script, his fingers moved slightly, thinking about the plot he had just seen, at this moment, in his mind, it had turned into a scene after scene.
Judging from the plot of the Chinese pastoral dog leading the dog agent to save mankind, this movie focuses on the Chinese market, of course, the movie joined by the three divine dogs, if Huzi is only a supporting role in the end, in that case, not only will he not be satisfied, but others will too.
In the later stage of the plot, the surfing on the sea can be regarded as letting the tigers perform in their true colors, and this plot is estimated to be the most attractive.
Looking at Zhou Yu's movements, several people on the side were waiting for Zhou Yu's decision with expectations on their faces.
They know through some channels that although the three surfing dogs raised by Zhou Yu are famous all over the world, so far, they have only endorsed one brand of Master surfboards.
This is not that there is no company looking for a god dog to do endorsement, but Zhou Yu's strict requirements for brand endorsement.
If you change someone else, it is estimated that you will receive as many endorsements as you want, and money is the most important thing, although participating in the filming of Hollywood movies is a very desired dream for almost all actors in China, but Zhou Yu is not an actor, and neither are the three divine dogs.
"Although I haven't read the script, I probably already know the plot, and compared to the previous one, there is a great improvement that can attract me to watch it, and I want to ask when this movie is going to start shooting. After thinking in his mind for a while, Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at Brad and the production manager in front of him.
The production manager showed a smile on his face, "Mr. Zhou, if you agree to let the three surfing dogs join this movie, we need two months to prepare, and after two months, we can officially start filming." ”
"Of course, this is based on the premise that the three divine dogs can perform competently, and if the skills of the three divine dogs are not enough for filming, they will need to train for a long time. ”
At this time, Brad seemed to know the purpose of Zhou Yu's question, and said with a smile: "Zhou, if the movie starts shooting, we will give priority to filming the scenes of the three divine dogs, and if everything goes well, the filming can be completed in more than a month." ”
Zhou Yu nodded lightly, what he was thinking about before was the shooting time, after all, he needed to leave Huaxia and go to the United States to shoot, if he himself left, then some things in Taoyuan would not be able to take care of it.
If he let the dog baby Wang Fugui and Huzi go to the United States to make a film together, he is not at ease, although Huzi and they can understand human speech and are very smart, but there are still some deficiencies, only if he goes in person, can he ensure perfection.
More than a month, it is acceptable, and there is still a buffer time of two months, which is enough for his fairy fruit wine to be brewed successfully, the peach orchard to bear peaches, and the red bananas of Kulu Island to ripen.
Moreover, during this period of time, he can also greatly increase his inventory of fairy fruit powder, and when the time comes, he can directly hand over to Qi Jinxuan for a month's amount, which is also his previous idea.
"Thank you, Mr. Harris, thank you Brad, and I'm glad you were able to have my three dogs join the Cats vs. Dogs movie, and I'm so happy to have this collaboration. Zhou Yu stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand and said.
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, the production manager and Brad on the other side showed a touch of excitement on their faces, and they stood up directly, and each shook hands with Zhou Yu tightly, "Mr. Zhou, it is also our honor that you can agree to join, and I hope we can cooperate happily." ”
"Zhou, thank you for realizing my dream, the second part of the cat and dog war of the year was the first commercial blockbuster I took over, but it ended in a fiasco, this time, I want to make a glorious return to wash away the previous shame. When Brad shook hands with Zhou Yu, he said excitedly.
"Mr. Zhou, we need to go to the scene to watch the surfing performance of the three divine dogs, as well as to evaluate their qualities, so that we can send animal trainers to train them next, and if everything goes well, we can start the official signing soon." At this point, the production manager spoke again.
Zhou Yu has agreed now, and next, it is time for them to verify the ability of these three surfing dogs, which is also the most important purpose of their trip.
"Harris, I don't think there is a more powerful animal tamer in this world than Zhou. At this time, Andrew on the side suddenly spoke.
There are many famous animal trainers in the world, but most of those people use some violent means to a greater or lesser extent, and the animals they tame are far less famous than the three surfing dogs of Zhou Yu.
"Watching the three divine dogs surfing show, this is no problem, the matter of taming the beast, you can also communicate next, however, you should forget one important thing, that is, the salary of the three divine dogs. Zhou Yu said with a smile on his face, in terms of plot, he didn't think there was a problem, so the next step was naturally the discussion of salary.
He is not like some Chinese actors, as soon as he heard that it was a Hollywood film contract, he joined in regardless of the salary, in the entire Chinese society, the Chinese stars who really broke into Hollywood were only a few Liao Liao, but there are still many people who want to join, even if it is an inconspicuous supporting role, which shows the attractiveness and cruelty of Hollywood.
Although he also wants Huzi to join this movie, if there is no matching salary, then he will not agree. (To be continued.) )
