After meeting Song Sheng, Jing Jian happily came to a luxurious suite in the Beijing Hotel. When he finished speaking, he heard exclamations and laughter all over the room: "What?

Sitting in the room are Paramount's Shirley, screenwriter Philip and ...... Solana. This time, they went to Beijing to complete the signing of "Infinity 3".

A lukewarm handshake with Solana. Although it has later become mostly acting, the ...... of the two The bottle battle is also not fake, but in order to create the greatest amount of buzz, this time the two will work together.

Although she welcomes possible cooperation between China and the United States, Shirley is most sensitive to investment: "Bramble, do you know China's bottom line? How much do they invest? How do they divide it? Also, how should we adjust the equity between us?"

"Beautiful lady, you are in such a hurry. Jing Jian joked, "I also just got the news." I think there should be these principles, there should be no political topics or implications, there needs to be publicity and cultural exchanges, and there is little or no possibility of Chinese investment, but there may be other ways to cooperate......"

"Anything else?" asked Shirley curiously.

Jing Jian smiled and made a gesture: "I'll talk about this later, because I already have an idea." ”

"About what?"

"In terms of plot conception. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait. ”

Jing Jian continued: "There is also the fact that the equity of the Chinese side can be symbolic, and the specific situation is negotiated by you Shirley. In the end, it is better to use a few Chinese actors, not the main character, but enough weight. That's all I can think of. ”

Shirley pondered Jing Jian's words, and Philip on the side smiled: "Bramble, then you will direct and act yourself again." Aren't you a Chinese actor?"

Everyone laughed, Jing Jian shook his head with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm already dead." ”

Unexpectedly, Philip had already prepared: "Then twins, I promise to let you die again." also died in Mai Ting's arms. ”

There was a burst of laughter. But before Jing Jian could speak, Solana nodded very seriously: "I think it's okay, the audience likes to watch Bramble and Mai Ting together." ”

With the unanimous approval of others, Jing Jian's dissenting vote was invalid.

And Jing Jian began to talk about the plot: "Philip, I'm going to make the scene bigger." 1 and 2 are all solo action movies, and the audience may be a little tired of it, so this one I am ready to have wonderful war scenes. ”

"How big?" Shirley asked.

"The scale of 10,000 people, the final climax part is about fifteen minutes. ”

Solana is very wary of the producer: "That budget will be greatly increased, maybe five million to ten million or so." Bramble, can't it be the same as it used to be? It shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Jing Jian smiled slightly: "What I'm afraid of is next year." Our Infinity series has two main features, one is computer effects and the other is action. But next year there is a blockbuster - Cameron's "Terminator 2", which is also a top film with computer special effects and action. I'm afraid that the box office will be greatly affected by then. ”

Shirley seemed to understand a little: "So you want to change it to a war movie?"

"No, no, no. Jing Jian denied with a smile, "It's still a special effects action movie, nothing more than adding elements of war." ”

Interestingly, Jing Jian once praised "Terminator 2" in a series of lectures, but he didn't expect to encounter a situation in the ring now. To tell the truth, when encountering a god-level director like Cameron and a god film like "Terminator 2", no one will have full confidence.

Solana suddenly looked worried: "I'm not afraid of increasing the budget. The shooting budget is 100 million, the publicity is 30 million, and the extra 10 or 20 million can be afforded. The most feared thing is that if the budget is increased again and again, it will become a disaster. ”

Jing Jian smiled: "This is what I was thinking just now. We have made the use of the Chinese military a necessity in exchange for cooperation between China and the United States, and I think the Chinese government will welcome that. And the use of the army does not need to be paid, so that the budget can be controlled. ”

Solana's eyes suddenly lit up: "In this way, not only will I not overspend, but I am confident that I will save 10 million." ”

"Hahaha. Jing Jian said with a smile, "If you don't pay compensation, it doesn't mean that you don't have other expenses." ”

Shirley on the side smiled: "I understand this, and there will definitely be a satisfactory result when the time comes." ”

In order to compare with "Terminator 2", Jing Jian sacrificed a big killer weapon like "War Scene". Unlike Hollywood's golden age, with higher labor costs and the emergence of various protection organizations, Hollywood can no longer afford to make large-scale war movies. However, the battlefield fights, the blood is boiling, and what audience doesn't like it?

Only China and the Soviet Union had the conditions to use the military to shoot, and even Hollywood studios were envious of this. But it won't take a few years for the collapse of the Soviet Union and the return of the PLA to the barracks, no longer participating in these messy activities, and live-action war films will become a swan song. It is necessary to wait until the maturity of 3D special effects technology that large-scale war films will be dead, and a series of excellent films represented by "The Lord of the Rings" have appeared one after another.

......

A week later, all correspondents in China were invited to attend the press conference of the famous director Mr. Bramble's new film. When they arrived, they were surprised to find that the U.S. Cultural Counselor to China and officials from the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs were present at the press conference. And there's ...... Sleep, what do we see? And Solana!

Before the host could announce the start, the scene became chaotic.

"Mr. Bramble, are you going to work with Mr. Solana?"

"Solana, when did you come to China?"

"Ms. Shirley, did the two of them fight after they met?"

"Hahaha......"

"They're snatching bottles!hahahaha......"

“......”

The host, who had been loaned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had probably never encountered such a scene, and the usually polite correspondents in China had suddenly become fanatical.

The Chinese were collectively dumbfounded, while the American cultural counselor kept snickering. Until he was stunned, a Chinese reporter who attended the meeting, Mu Ran, said: "I didn't expect Director Jing to be so popular abroad." ”

The reporter's words were immediately greeted with a wave of approval:

"This is called a cow, this is the real cow. ”

"I've got a title for tomorrow. ”

"Me too, me too. ”

"It turns out that this is the pride of Chinese films!"

“......”

It was Shirley who stepped forward and finally persuaded the chaotic scene. The host was already sweating profusely, and he was extremely nervous when he spoke: "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome...... Welcome ......" Apparently, he forgot the words.

And the audience burst into laughter......
