A few days later, at Los Angeles International Airport, the Boeing 747 from Xiangjiang slowly landed after an 18-hour flight.
Xu Zhi came to pick up the airport today because his family came to the United States, accompanied by Lin Siqi, an assistant, who came to the United States with Xu Zhi's family after returning to Xiangjiang from the United Kingdom.
Xu Yaxin came to Stanford University to participate in the summer school program, which lasted for a total of 7 weeks, which is equivalent to experiencing college life in advance.
Xu Zhi's parents are even simpler, they come directly to the United States to participate in the world tour, and the first stop is from Los Angeles.
XU YAXIN LOOKED AT THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN ON THE MOUNTAIN IN THE DISTANCE THROUGH THE FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOW OF THE HOTEL, AND ASKED XU ZHIDAO: "DAZHI, DO YOU THINK WE CAN CLIMB ON TOP OF THAT SIGN AND SIT, THE SCENERY OF THE WHOLE LOS ANGELES FROM THAT MUST BE GOOD." ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "If you want to see the scenery, it's very simple, just go to that mountain, but if you want to climb to that sign, you can't, you have to get to the neighborhood to know, these signs are each 5 stories high, the law itself does not allow people to enter the vicinity, if you want to go up, it is estimated that you have to hire a helicopter, and you have to hire a pilot who is not afraid of breaking the law." ”
"That's a pity. Xu Yaxin is very playful, even after nearly 20 hours of flight, she doesn't want to go out to have fun despite her tiredness.
Xu Zhidao: "You better go and rest quickly, tomorrow when your spirit recovers, I will arrange a special tour guide to take you out to play, helicopter around the inner city, Disney, Hollywood, or the beach, you can go wherever you want!"
Xu Yaxin was still a little reluctant, but after being pulled by her mother, she could only go to her room to sleep.
Lin Siqi was also a little sleepy, but she still had work to report, and said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Sheng, everything in Europe has been completed, we have obtained the Global Human Data Book Collection from the University of London, and we have also bought the Rubik's Cube patent from Professor Rubik. ”
Xu Zhi asked, "What price did each pay?"
Lin Siqi replied: "The University of London is nothing, we donated 2,000 pounds to the school's internal poverty bonus, and the library promised to give us a copy."
On the other hand, on the Rubik's Cube, this toy sold well in the local area, and Professor Rubik was reluctant to sell it at first, but after we inadvertently revealed the news to his family, we slowly persuaded him to spend $300,000 and give the professor's family a pink Mercedes-Benz. ”
Xu Zhi smiled: "Yes." ”
Xu Zhi said: "Then let's do this first, you also go to rest, and talk about it later." ”
"No, I don't. Lin Siqi said: "I just drank 2 cups of coffee, and now I am very sober." ”
Xu Zhidao: "Okay, but you can drink some coffee if you want to taste it, and you can also use it as a hobby, but it's better not to use it to refresh yourself when you're sleepy, this thing is actually an overdraft of the body." ”
Lin Siqi said: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it later." ”
Xu Zhi thought about it for a while and briefly said some of the things that had happened in the United States recently.
After listening to this, Lin Siqi asked, "Do we really want to make a movie?"
Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes! This time is different from the last time I made that small video, it is a real movie, you help me find a suitable director during this time, if you can shoot a comedy style, you must have experience in making a few comedy movies, and you should not be too young, this time is not a child's play, it is a real investment." ”
The short story of moving forward with weight is very touching, even the Los Angeles Times wrote a special article to praise this short video, Paramount obviously values this idea that can be adapted into a movie, and has sent someone to reply two days ago, agreeing to Xu Zhi's request, in terms of equipment, scenes will help Xu Zhi, and in terms of price, according to the market price.
There are too many things involved in making a movie, especially that set of equipment, Hollywood is much more complicated than Xiangjiang's movies, because the laws here are very perfect, and all aspects must be done very thoughtfully.
is different from the simple plot of Drunken Boxing, although the movie Xu Zhi wants to make is not as good as a blockbuster, it also requires a lot of materials.
Even if you find an intermediary company, Xu Zhi is an Asian who goes to rent equipment and scenes, and it is estimated that he will be slaughtered very badly, and it is estimated that the $150,000 is not necessarily enough.
Lin Siqi said: "Then what kind of story do we shoot?"
"Needless to say, I have already sent the plot materials of the movie to the Hollywood script library, but that is only the general plot, and when the director is confirmed, I will have to discuss it with him carefully. Xu Zhi explained: "As for how to choose a director, you go and rent the movies he has made before, and then invite some children to watch them, if the children like it very much, even if it is approved, you mail it to me, and I will make the final choice." ”
Lin Siqi said with a smile: "Xu Sheng, the quality of your selection of products seems to depend on whether the child likes it or not, this was the case in the previous games, and the same is true in the movies now." ”
Xu Zhidao: "Children's minds do not have too many impurities and troubles, many times like is like, dislike is not like, more direct, and they themselves are the easiest group to spend money, which company in this world you say will give up this piece of profit." ”
Lin Siqi said: "Understood." ”
Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "You can contact a lawyer and set up a film company in the United States, which is separate from Xiangjiang and has nothing to do with it, so choose the United States as the place of registration." ”
Lin Siqi said: "Also, our movie is going to be released in the United States, no matter where it is registered, the tax can't be run, so what's the name of the company?" ”
Xu Zhidao: "It's called Starlight, STARLIGHT!"
