Chapter 30: Death is coming

CHAPTER XXXI

After the auction, there is a dinner, and then there is a donation and photo shoot.

Zhang Li didn't donate millions of dollars, and those who donated so much on this occasion were either fools or rich people who really didn't know anything.

Although they are all celebrities, some people have more money, and there must be people who have less money. You said that if you donate too much, what will those who are less think, as long as you have money, you will pretend to be b. So many times on this occasion, donations are generally done within their means, but recently some people don't even do face-saving efforts.

Zhang Li donated 1 million, which is neither high nor low. In the donation list, it is probably the middle class, and now he is eye-catching enough, so it's better not to be too high-profile.

It was only when he first saw the donation list that he found that many people did not donate, and these people did not donate on Bazaar a few years later.

It seems that this bazaar has really become a show, Su Man should be angry.

In the photo part, Zhang Li stood at the very edge, and I didn't know if he would be on the camera.

Targeted, nothing to say.

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

Ignoring the troubles, Zhang Li went back and had a good rest and began to continue creating.

In terms of movies, Zhang Li thought of 4 scripts, the first one was the movie "Take My Brother Away", and Zhang Li was still a little unwilling if it was not filmed.

The second movie is "Jingwu Hero", the world of Li Lianjie's kung fu masterpiece has not been filmed, and Zhang Li really wants to shoot him now. But come to think of it, there is no suitable candidate for the time being.

The third movie is "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", but the little Lori in it is very difficult to find now, and the plot has to be changed.

The fourth movie is the movie "The Grim Reaper is Coming", which is relatively easy to make. But although there are no ghosts or gods in it, there is still a strong fatalism and an element that hints at death, and I don't know if it will be cut off.

In addition to these movies, Zhang Li also considered other movies such as "Green Snake", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "V-Word Vendetta", "The Matrix" and other movies.

But these movies either have problems with the subject matter, or the investment is too large, or Zhang Li temporarily felt that he couldn't make the original taste, so he gave up.

Looking at the script with 4 movie names written on it, Zhang Li chose "Death is Coming".

"Take My Brother Away" is an adaptation of a comic, and Huayi said that he wanted to buy the copyright at the beginning. Even if you don't buy the floral arrangement, there will definitely be some entanglements, and you can wait until the floral arrangement fails to shoot in the future.

"This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is that I can't find a good little Lori at all and still have a plot to modify, and I have already invited Hu Ge, so I gave up.

Zhang Li really wants to make the movie "Jingwu Heroes", but this movie requires the crew to have a strong kung fu foundation, not only actors, but also other sets or stand-ins or experience or something, but this kind of kung fu film is basically in HK. And the contradiction between Zhang Li and Emperor Yinghuang is probably a bit troublesome.

"The Grim Reaper" also needs to be revised, but the theme is still death. There are requirements for actors, but they are not too harsh, and the box office of the movie is high, so Zhang Li chose this movie, and as for the rest, he will wait until later.

"This trip will be your journey to death. ”

"Every action must have an effect, every cause must have an effect, and every beginning must have an end. ”

"No accidents, no coincidences, nowhere to run. ”

"People, there is no accidental death, no horizontal death, no unjust death, no tragic death, only a doomed death. ”

Instead of the usual violent scenes of horror films, the film brings endless fear through tense music and constant black shadows, yīn winds, and strange ways of dying.

"The wing-like image reflected in the window, which seemed to sway unsteadily in the rain, foreshadowed a subsequent aircraft accident. ”

"The shadow of the hanging doll on the ground resembles a hanged man, foreshadowing death. ”

“……”

The design of the death mode imposes the impermanence and helplessness of life on everyone, and the audience can easily have a sense of substitution, and the failure of the protagonists to redeem themselves also conveys to the audience a deep despair and a sense of fear.

If you are choked by fate and want to escape, but you can't escape.

The protagonists avoid death because they know about the plane crash, and then encounter the death design of the Grim Reaper......

"XX University, art students are preparing to take a flight to Pengcheng to travel ......"

"Moments before the plane takes off, the protagonist foresees the plane crash scene, returns to reality, and finds that everything happens one by one as predicted......"

The protagonist fled in a panic, and finally a few classmates and a teacher followed him off the plane and survived. ”

"But just as they were rejoicing, the Grim Reaper design struck ......"

"You may get a second chance to live, but you can't fool the Grim Reaper!!"

The script must be revised, after all, it is impossible to shoot directly according to the original. It is necessary to remove some foreign elements and add some elements of flower growers. For example, Todd's hint in it is the magazine's picture of a French/large/leather/fatal guillotine, which must be revised, and so on.

When Zhang Li revised the script, he asked his agent Xu Huai, who is also the head of the studio, to talk to Tang about Hu Ge's signing with Tang Ren, and the crew was also handed over to Xu Huai.

Xu Huai is an old fritter in the entertainment industry, although he can't be compared with gold medal agents such as Sister Hua, but as a salted fish who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, he still has it.

The film invested 70 million, Zhang Li invested 50 million, and Guang Xian invested 20 million.

This movie is mainly used for the production of special effects, after all, some scenes still need special effects. Although it can't be the same as special effects movies such as "Avatar", "2012", and "Warcraft", this "Death is Coming" was not a special effects blockbuster in the first place. Originally, the movie was about 20 million US dollars, although Zhang Li's investment this time is still a bit different, but in the mainland, whether it is manual or other things, it is very cheap, so Zhang Li is confident that he will make a movie that exceeds the original version.

And after Hu Ge agreed, Zhang Li also contacted the eldest Wang. He needs a few actors on his side, but he needs to be glamorous to come and go.

After reading the script written by Zhang Li, the eldest king patted his chest and said that it was no problem at all.

Hu Ge, Liu Yan, Deng Chao, and Huang Bo are the five leading actors, and then invite Xie Nan, Wu Jing, Ying Bao, Xu Zheng and others to make cameos.

If you just look at the list of actors, you feel that the lineup is extremely luxurious.

But it's 10 years now, and Ying Bao, Xu Zheng and others haven't reached the time when they are really popular, and the most famous ones are probably Hu Ge and Huang Bo. After all, one TV series has been very popular in recent years, and the other has just won the actor. If you invite these people in a few years, you really can't get hundreds of millions.
